The beast souls pulling the cart were pacing back and forth in the rain. There were also a few air cavalry around, pacing back and forth to control the beasts, alerting the surroundings. These beast souls breathed thick breath from their noses, forming white mist, which was scattered in the wind.
.
Xiao Shizhu's soldiers are not stupid, nor are they stupid. In the previous game, they did not attack the leader of the killers. Even in the first round when no one answered, the soldiers did not attack the leader.
He was killed and has been kept until now.
Regarding Xiao Shizhu's order to take away the leading killer, Li Tianying had nothing to say. Xiao Shizhu said it would be whatever it was, and he would not have any objection.
So he hurriedly saluted and returned: "No."
"Tie up the leader and hand it over to the lord." Immediately, Li Tianying gave the order to his sergeants.
After receiving the order, the sergeants took out ropes and steel nails one after another. After punching the nails through the collarbones of the killers one by one, they tied them up with the ropes.
The shrill screams started again, lightning and thunder rumbled in the sky, and the smell of blood became strong again under the wind and rain.
Xiao Shizhu, who stood quietly under the wind and rain, looked indifferent and his eyes were cold. He looked coldly at the killer bound by his sergeants, bleeding and screaming in pain in the rain.
But after piercing the collarbone, Li Tianying's sergeants also gave the killers some golden elixir to prevent them from bleeding to death.
In the rain and mist, blood quietly spread with the wind.
Some sergeants had already turned around and returned to the Xiancha in the air, fetching the prison cart equipped on the Xiancha.
"My lord, I will send two sergeants to accompany you to help you drive the prison car." When the leader of the killer was sent into the prison car with only a small iron bed left after the iron door was closed, Li Tian responded.
Xiao Shizhu said: "I'll help you keep an eye on this prisoner."
"Okay." Xiao Shizhu agreed without thinking too much.
He still believes and trusts Li Tianying. He is angry with City God Li Tianyun, but he will not implicate innocent people for no reason.
Besides, Li Tianying is loyal and has always had a good character. This matter has nothing to do with Li Tianying. Xiao Shizhu will not vent his anger on him.
"Take it away." Xiao Shizhu used his ghost energy to dry the rainwater on his hair in an instant, turned around and entered the carriage.
Li Tianying immediately responded and asked the sergeants to take other prisoners and return to Xiancha with him. He also left two sergeants behind, driving the prison car and following Xiao Shizhu's car.
As soon as Xiao Shizhu entered, the Imperial Guard driving for him raised his whip, drove away, and continued to gallop forward in the rainy night.
Xiao Shizhu, who was sitting in the car, was trembling when he saw Liu Yun, with fear in his eyes. He quickly said to her: "Don't worry, follow me, the killers won't hurt you."
"Your Majesty, why do they want to kill me?" Liu Yun asked, not knowing whether he was frightened or not.
Xiao Shizhu said slowly: "Because when you are with me, you will tell me a lot of things that I can't see in the palace. And the employers of these killers wish that I would be a deaf and blind person in the palace, and the outside world
They can't see or hear anything, so they can do whatever they want."
Although he, Xiao Shizhu, had narrowly escaped death and had no output, so he was used to seeing people living and dying, but he could understand the mood of Liu Yun, who was now full of fear.
When he arrived in the underworld, he felt the same way when he saw real swords and sword shadows for the first time, and when flesh and blood flew everywhere; he was frightened and terrified, and for a moment he was confused.
Moreover, Xiao Shizhu knew that it was useless to rely on other people's comfort for this kind of thing. The fear growing in his heart could only be overcome by Liu Yun himself.
As the saying goes, steel is made after a hundred attempts, Liuyun must go through the process of overcoming pain, otherwise he will never grow up.
Xiao Shizhu could only guarantee her that he could protect her personal safety.
The inner fear still needs to be overcome by the child himself.
The wind and rain were swaying, and the dark clouds in the rainy night were also low, and the coldness was full of depression.
Liuyun was still afraid of the dark night and felt terrified.
"Inform the Jade Palace and ask the Xia Xing Chief of the Qiu Palace to immediately enter Danshui County as a special envoy to secretly investigate the evidence of the Li Tianyun City God's party, including what they have done secretly over the years." Xiao Shizhu turned around.
He looked at the fungi gathered in the corner, took the hot tea that Qinglan poured for him, and said: "The crackdown on illegal powerful people must also be strengthened."
After giving the order, the fungus hurriedly sent the message back.
Liuyun stared at Xiao Shizhu silently, still a little at a loss.
Over the years, the internal areas of Jiuyou Kingdom have become too peaceful. Although Danshui County is a border county, it is also a peaceful ghost county. Even in the recent war with the Beiyin Dynasty, Gong Mingyi's navy army was divided.
Because of the lack of strength and the small number of troops and boats, they only reached the ports in the county and did not land in the hinterland.
In peaceful times, it is easy for children like Liu Yun to be timid.
But this is inevitable.
Moreover, Xiao Shizhu did not ask for anything. Liuyun could completely overcome his fear now and just continued to be busy with his own affairs. Then, he said to Qinglan: "When you get to the city, you personally hand over this killer leader to the main prison."
Go to the Autumn Palace and call the Chacha Department and the Evil Punishment Department to interrogate this ghost together. They are already professional killers and their actions are orderly. It cannot be the first time they have done this kind of thing. Why are we behind it?
The secrets you know must be dug out.”
"No." Qinglan responded after a few clicks.
This is the real purpose of Xiao Shizhu who insists on taking away the killer leader.
"Lord, do you want to notify the Yulin Army to come and escort you?" Qinglan paused and asked with a frown: "Put out the ceremonial guard and the book of honor so that these young people don't know your identity.
He also dared to stab him rashly."
There was another flash of lightning in the air outside the car, tearing apart the boundless darkness in the rainy night. As it flashed by, it illuminated the rain curtain between heaven and earth.
Xiao Shizhu, who was in the car, took a sip of hot tea and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No, if you put the ceremony guard away, can we still see things that we couldn't see in the palace in the past?".
Seeing that Xiao Shizhu was so determined, Qing Lan said nothing more, let alone the matter of setting up the honor guard.
"My lord, Sir Xia Xing replied." At this moment, the fungus in the messenger palace said to Xiao Shizhu: "She immediately sent her best detective officers to sneak into Danshui County. At the same time, there will be no morning meeting tomorrow morning.
They will hold a meeting in the Qiu Palace to discuss and formulate how to deal with the affairs of powerful children in the past who are now killers."
"Well, leave a record of the meeting. I will see it when I get back to the palace." Xiao Shizhu slightly chinned his head twice, leaned against his back, closed his eyes slightly, and started to take a nap.
When Liuyun saw that he was acting so resolutely and immediately started to rectify what had just happened, he suddenly felt a lot more relieved, and the fear in his eyes was slowly fading away...
The morning mist is still spreading in the Jade Palace.
Although the morning bell has sounded, the centipede beads, dragon beads and other lighting tools in the palace are still on. Even the ever-burning lamps in the palace are working hard to illuminate the darkness.
The faint light emitted by the rising overcast sun has not yet reached the palace.
There was no morning service today, and the academy was closed for bathing today. However, Xiao Fuling rode her white lion early in the morning and rushed out of her palace with her follower and guard Fan Jinhong.
Since Xiao Fuling followed Xiao Shizhu and returned from the southern campaign, he rewarded her for her merits and gave her her own palace, which was also in the Jade Palace.
Her palace and garden houses are deep, with double eaves and curved sills, connected by winding paths. There are fairy grass and sacred trees in the courtyard, and green ancient pines are surrounded by famous flowers. There are many sacred stones and spiritual stones. In the past, the glow of the sun is always shining, and the clouds are rising.
It's like a fairyland down there.
Xiao Shizhu also doted on this child who had high hopes for him. The palaces and pavilions were all covered with jade tiles of two colors, making them look like gold.
There is also a place for raising beast souls, so that Xiao Fuling, who loves all kinds of mounts, can tame mounts in the palace.
Xiao Fuling, who galloped out, controlled the beast and rode the wind, and flew towards the Juexiang Garden in the distance.
Along the way, it brought strong and powerful winds.
The wind makes the grass and trees on the roadside sway.
Xiao Fuling was indeed furious, her face full of anger. She was holding a rein in one hand and holding a scroll tightly in the other.
It was a history book compiled by the historians of Jiuyou Kingdom, recording and describing the events of the past ten years since the founding of Jiuyou Kingdom.
Xiao Fuling spent all night last night reading this book, but the more she read, the angrier she became. After daybreak, her anger became even more difficult to get rid of.
She hurriedly came to the palace gate of Juexiangyuan, turned over and jumped off the white lion, and rushed in towards the palace gate.
Because she was Xiao Shizhu's daughter and she was just a ghost, the ghost soldiers guarding the door didn't stop her and just let her in.
None of the following guards went in, they just waited at the palace gate. Even the guard commander Fan Jinhong did not follow him in.
He just led Xiao Fuling's horse, the white lion, to the horse-tying stone on the side, and put the reins on the stone.
The white lion immediately lay down on the ground, opened its mouth and stretched out its tongue. When it yawned, it rolled up its long scarlet tongue again.
In the main building of Juexiangyuan, although there was no morning meeting today, the ghost mother did not stay in bed. She had already gotten up and was sitting in front of the dressing table, dressing up with the help of Chen Ruo.
"Concubine, you don't care about this!" Just when Chen Ruocai tied the ghost mother's hair into a bun, Xiao Fuling rushed in with a loud shout and threw the book in front of the ghost mother.
On the dressing table.
The shouting suddenly broke the early morning tranquility in the building.
It frightened some timid birds and fluttered their wings in panic.
"My little ancestor, why are you making such a fuss so early in the morning?" The ghost mother sighed softly and motioned Chen Ruo to put away the rouge and gouache that had been knocked around by the scroll on the dressing table.
Then he turned to look at his daughter beside him, only to see Xiao Fuling was furious and his eyes were wide open. Xiao Fuling was so angry that her hands were shaking with anger.
The ghost mother still didn't know why Xiao Fuling was so angry so early in the morning, so she picked up the book at hand and started reading.
Gui Mu and Xiao Shizhu have both read this history book, and there are no treasonous remarks in it. Naturally, it has been approved for typesetting, printing, and publication.
The ghost mother read it for a while, but she still didn't know why her daughter was so angry, so she asked: "What's wrong with this book?"
Xiao Fuling snatched the book from her hand and quickly turned it over.
The sound of turning pages was heard, and a look of doubt appeared on the ghost mother's brows.
After a while, Xiao Fuling turned to one of the pages of the book, pointed to the content on it and read: "In the early summer of the first year of Jiuyou, the Lord Jiuyou King sent his troops south, and later joined Zhu Rong's army to attack Yingzhu Island. The water tigers stationed here ordered
Jiuyou army lost troops
After losing his general, King Jiuyou was so furious that he ordered the massacre of the water tiger clan, leaving no ghost behind. From then on, the water tiger clan disappeared from the underworld, and the tribe was exterminated! Even the city of Yingzhu Island was destroyed and people died, and the smell of blood lasted for seven days.
If it is not scattered, it will be desolate from now on.”
Xiao Fuling was huffing and puffing, and every time she read a word, her face became more angry, and her look was very scary.
After finishing reading, Xiao Fuling gritted her teeth and said: "This historian deserves to be killed!".
Only then did the ghost mother know why her daughter was so angry. It turned out to be the historian's account. In Xiao Fuling's view, it was specifically to discredit her father, Xiao Shizhu. Therefore, Xiao Fuling felt that the historian described Xiao Shizhu as a tyrant in just a few strokes.
, and felt extremely angry.
"Hey, I said Poria, are you angry about this?" The ghost mother sent Chen Ruo down, and after preparing breakfast, she asked Xiao Fuling to sit down first, and then said: "As for that? The historian just said a fact.
That’s all, your father did massacre the city. Not only did he massacre the city, he also caused the water tiger clan to be exterminated.”
While talking, the ghost mother kept a calm expression.
Xiao Fuling, on the other hand, was confused and wrinkled suddenly.
She still couldn't believe that her father would do this.
"There is a reason why your father massacred the city. The Water Tiger Clan almost annihilated him and the Jiuyou Army who conquered this place." The ghost people paused for a moment, then continued: "And the Water Tiger Clan used the trick of pretending to surrender.
He deceived your father through various means. So he was so angry that he suddenly lost his reason and committed a massacre of the city."
At this point, the ghost mother took the scroll in Xiao Fuling's hand and continued to read: "In July of the sixth year of Jiuyou, King Jiuyou issued an edict to erect a stone tablet and build an ancestral hall on Yingzhu Island to commemorate those who died here.
The Water Tiger Clan. King Jiuyou built the ancestral hall
At that time, he personally went to pay homage to the dead souls of the Water Tiger clan. He sincerely regretted his impulse back then, and therefore formulated military regulations that no more massacres and surrenders would be allowed. From then on, the strictly disciplined Jiuyou Kingdom army no longer killed or surrendered.
Massacre the city again."
After reading this paragraph, the ghost mother handed the scroll to Xiao Fuling, touched her daughter's head, and said: "Everyone makes mistakes. It is normal for your father to make mistakes, but he changed them. And the historian also recorded the changes in detail.
I don’t know why you are so angry about this part.”.
"Does father really know how to massacre the city?" Xiao Fuling asked blankly.
"Yes, Yingzhu Island was his first massacre." The ghost mother slowly nodded her head and said: "But, it was also his last. Poria, no one is perfect, we are no different, Jiuyou
Even as a citizen of the country, no one has the right to go
There is nothing wrong in asking your father. No one is a perfect ruler. Your father cannot do it. However, he must correct his mistakes when he knows they are wrong. He did this, so the ghost people will respect him and love him.
Only then can we be of one mind with the imperial court.”
Xiao Fuling pondered for a long time, and seemed to understand something. She nodded slightly and said: "No one is perfect, and no gold is pure, but you must know that mistakes can be corrected, and you cannot cover up your mistakes and then not correct yourself.
Does this mean?".
"Yes." The ghost mother looked pleased, stood up, kissed her daughter's forehead gently, and praised: "My precious daughter is so smart."
Xiao Fuling, whose face was suddenly filled with joy, smiled, no longer angry, and returned to his former lively and cute self.
