After leaving Danshui County, we left the sky full of rain and fog. Above the car, the sky was clear and clear, with no clouds in sight. It was another sunny day in the area today.
Xiao Shizhu turned his head and looked outside the car. The scenery on the roadside flew past his eyes, like a painting on a revolving lantern.
Xiao Shizhu couldn't help but feel a touch of regret in his eyes.
Although it was not easy to notice, it didn't take long before Liu Yun caught his eye.
Liuyun was filled with doubts and secretly thought: "Why is it that the king has regret in his eyes, as if he is feeling guilty about something?".
Qinglan responded and agreed to the matter.
Others don't know what Xiao Shizhu is guilty of, but Qing Lan knows to some extent.
It was nothing more than the massacre on Yingzhu Island in the lake outside Shizhu City.
Speaking of which, Xiao Shizhu is not a perfect man. He has emotions, anger, sorrow and joy. And during the battle at Shizhu Lake that year, his anger completely swallowed up his reason.
Xiao Shizhu was here once, and was deceived by Shui Hu's false surrender. His entire army was almost wiped out, and he almost died by the lake. This made him make a cruel decision, which was to massacre the city.
As a result, Yingzhu Island was massacred, with ten rooms and nine empty rooms, and blood overflowed for seven days. At the same time, the water tiger clan on the island, which was also the last water tiger ghost clan in the underworld and the human world, died.
The water tiger has since become extinct.
Afterwards, when Xiao Shizhu's anger subsided, he remembered that it was really inappropriate to handle the matter this way. But it could not be undone.
He deeply regretted and felt guilty about the impulsive behavior he had made back then.
Xiao Shizhu wanted to make up for his mistakes, but no matter how he made up for it, Xiao Shizhu still felt guilty every time he mentioned the Yingzhu Island incident.
So if he had time, if Xiao Shizhu was near Shizhu City in person, he would go to the island ancestral hall to worship. Including when he just came back from Huangquan and lived outside Shizhu City, he also quietly went to the island to worship.
Xiao Shizhu would try to do as many things as he could.
He will make up for it as much as he can.
If those water tigers still have distant relatives alive, he will try his best to help these ghosts and solve their life problems. To this end, teach people how to fish so that the distant relatives of these water tigers can live smoothly without worrying about food.
wear.
Therefore, Xiao Shizhu received less and less abuse as a tyrant. In recent years, he has not made any mistakes, and the abuse has almost disappeared.
"Sell some good fruits and pastries." After a long time, Xiao Shizhu withdrew his gaze and said to Qing Lan: "The money comes from my private treasury, and there is no need to use the treasury's money."
Qinglan nodded, keeping these explanations in mind.
Xiao Shizhu then pointed at the soft satin curtains and motioned for Qing Lan to put them down.
In the carriage, the centipede beads that had dimmed all shined brightly the moment the curtains were lowered, illuminating the interior of the carriage brightly.
At this time, Xiao Shizhu took out a book from the bookshelf, opened it and read it casually.
Liuyun, on the other hand, leaned over curiously and glanced at the contents of the book. His curious eyes quickly scanned the densely packed text in the book.
Today, Xiao Shizhu no longer reads erotic books. What he holds in his hand is an ancient miscellaneous book. The book describes various techniques and ingenious and obscene techniques in the underworld.
"Do you like reading?" Xiao Shizhu suddenly asked when Liu Yun came over curiously for the second time.
His focused eyes were still looking at the book in his hand without moving away.
"Yeah." Liu Yun retracted his head timidly and nodded in agreement.
Of course, Liuyun didn't just like reading. It was just that during this long journey, she felt bored with nothing to do in the car. She had to find something to do so as not to panic.
"You can read the books on the shelf next to you as long as you don't damage them." Xiao Shizhu picked up a fruit, took a bite, and nodded to Liu Yun without thinking and smiled: "After reading, put it back in its place.
That’s fine.”.
There were no secrets on the bookshelf, and there were no books inappropriate for children. Xiao Shizhu knew this clearly, so he allowed Liuyun to read the books on the bookshelf, saving her from always having nothing to do, leaning over curiously, and disturbing her.
Xiao Shizhu.
Liuyun thanked him, turned to look at the bookshelf, and carefully selected the books he wanted to read.
Outside the car, the sky is high and the sky is high. The Imperial Guards are driving forward at high speed with whips raised. The prison car behind is following Xiao Shizhu's car without missing a step.
A gust of wind blew by, causing the clouds to sway and the trees to sway.
When the passing vehicles saw the Haechi flag raised on their vehicles, they all gave way to let the two vehicles go first; this actually made the vehicles go faster than usual.
"Lord, will General Li Tianying deal with the city god of Tiantong City impartially?" In the car, Xiao Shizhu had not been quiet for a while, and Qing Lan spoke again, looking at Xiao Shizhu who was focused on the content of the book in his hand.
Said thoughtfully: "It would be terrible if we hide a few important things and never report them."
"Li Tianying is not that kind of person. I have already given him face by leaving the Tongcheng City God to him that day." Xiao Shizhu continued to look at the scroll in his hand and said leisurely: "Li Tianying is an understanding ghost.
He knows that even if he has selfish motives at this time, wants to take into account the feelings of his fellow tribesmen, and hides something for Li Tianyun, he will not be able to save Li Tianyun."
Li Tianyun's hiring of a murderer happened right in front of Xiao Shizhu's eyes. Xiao Shizhu also witnessed his attempt to protect the curator and his children's bullying of their classmates.
There is no need to investigate other things, as long as these two things are clearly investigated, even if Li Tianyun is not necessarily sentenced to death, the living crime will not be light.
Li Tianying is not stupid and would not engage in malpractice for personal gain in this kind of matter. Moreover, he is not the kind of ghost who would engage in malpractice for personal gain.
Therefore, Xiao Shizhu did not have as many worries as Qing Lan, but he was calm and relaxed.
"I just feel that although General Li Tianying is an upright and upright man, for the sake of safety, Lord Siko Xiaxing should also send a secret envoy to secretly investigate other things about Li Tianyun." Qing Lan followed up after Xiao Shizhu finished speaking.
It was suggested again.
After Xiao Shizhu heard this, he began to think deeply.
"It's not necessary. Leave it to Li Tianying to cooperate with the local city god and judge to handle it. I believe he will give me a satisfactory answer." After a while, he put down the scroll in his hand and said: "Xia Xing should hurry up.
Time, let’s formulate a strategy to punish the lawless tycoons.”.
What the two people said did not avoid Liu Yun. Anyway, there was nothing to avoid. To Liu Yun, these things were not absolute secrets. Moreover, Liu Yun had no curiosity at all and was concentrating on reading.
His attention was focused on the rich book in his hand.
At the same time, the fungus on the table in front of Xiao Shizhu received a message from other fungi in Yuque City.
Soon, the fungus man looked at Liuyun who was sitting aside, concentrating on reading a book, and finally jumped up, jumped on Xiao Shizhu's shoulder, whispered in his ear, and handed over what he had just received.
The news was told to Xiao Shizhu.
That was a message from the ghost mother over in Yuque City. The content was concise and clear, which meant that Xiao Fuling had been decided to attend and host the ghost people's meeting.
Also ask Xiao Shizhu if he agrees.
When Xiao Shizhu heard this, he was very happy.
He knew that this was also a good opportunity for Xiao Fuling to establish her prestige; as long as Xiao Fuling behaved properly at the conference, conducted herself and handled problems appropriately, she would be famous among the people everywhere.
In the court, it can also make the ministers recognize Xiao Fuling's abilities. It will bring convenience and smoothness for Xiao Shizhu to establish Xiao Fuling in the future.
"I have no objection." Xiao Shizhu told Jun Ren without thinking too much: "Just tell my wife and let her make the arrangements."
The fungus nodded, jumped off his shoulder, stood firmly on the desk opposite, immediately sat down cross-legged, concentrated his energy, and sent the news back to Yuque.
Xiao Shizhu waited for a moment, waiting for the bacteria to finish sending the message, and then quickly asked: "Is there any news from Dongyingzhou?".
Xiao Shizhu was still a little worried about the plague in Japan.
This thing kills people invisible and is like a savage beast. If it is not controlled, the soldiers and civilians of Dongyingzhou will suffer too many casualties, which will be a great loss to Jiuyou Kingdom's strategy of annexing Dongyingzhou.
The loss to Jiuyou Country will also be considerable.
But the fungus man immediately shook his head silently, saying that there was no news from Dongyingzhou yet. When it came here, Xiao Shizhu was disappointed again, and his heart became more worried.
Xiao Shizhu sighed softly, leaned forward silently, opened the curtains with his hands, and looked out the window again...
After daylight dawned, the heavy rain on the Qinglong Sea in the east of Dongyingzhou gradually subsided, but a vast white fog appeared, covering the rough waves. Only the sound of the waves could be heard, but their shape was difficult to see.
In the mist, huge waves roared continuously, sounding like huge thunder.
Continuous large waves rushed to the shore, broke through the fog, and hit the foot of Dushuo Mountain on the seaside. The smooth rocks on both sides of the harbor were exposed to the sea, and there was another roar.
Above the reef, hundreds of feet above the ground, in mid-air is a thousand-foot cliff close to the top of the mountain.
On the straight and steep cliff, there are jagged and strange rocks. And there are many thick tree roots that have been climbed since ancient times. The smallest diameter is several feet, and the largest one is more than ten feet thick.
These tree roots traverse between the cliff rocks, penetrate into the mountain, and penetrate from the rock cracks at the other end, which is majestic and spectacular.
Not only did it not cause the cliff to collapse, but it was as if a thread had been threaded and stitched together, making the cliff here even more solid.
It is said that these tree roots that run across the cliffs, with dark and hard skins, are the roots of the big tree that stands proudly on the top of the mountain, dominating the sky and the earth.
In the past, the Northern Yin Dynasty's army was stationed here, and sentries were placed on the roots of the trees every day to stand guard.
Now the army of Jiuyou Kingdom has settled here, and it only took ten months to build a long corridor like a belt of mountains around the cliff, building dozens of horns that can support each other.
Large and small forts. Go deeper into the mountains and build warehouses hidden in the mountains to store strategic materials.
Various caves of different sizes were also dug out on the thicker tree roots with a diameter of more than ten feet, in which part of the flying army and air cavalry were stationed. Some caves also contained flying thunderbolts that could take off at any time.
car.
It is mainly used to support naval operations at sea outside the mountains.
At dawn that day, King Yama came here to inspect.
However, in the past few days, plague has been spreading in the area and near the foot of the mountain, causing people to panic. Even King Yama had a headache and had trouble sleeping and eating.
If he hadn't been born with a dark face, you would have seen clearly visible dark circles around the eye sockets of his tired eyes.
Even though he was so tired, King Yama still came here to inspect.
According to a meeting and discussion between him and his generals, he came to a conclusion. That is, if a plague breaks out here, a large number of sergeants are infected, and information about the decline in combat effectiveness is leaked, the enemy is likely to attack from the sea.
The continuous heavy rains in the rainy season in the interior of Dongyingzhou will not affect the surrounding sea areas. The problems of muddy roads and difficult and slow material transportation during the rainy season are not a problem at sea.
If King Yama was an enemy and wanted to command the army to attack Jiuyou Kingdom in Dongyingzhou, he would also choose this route and strategy.
Seizing Jiuyou Kingdom's strategic location in Dongyingzhou, which is located in the coastal area, forcing Jiuyou Kingdom to have no ports that can lead to the outside world, and foreign aid and material transshipment places in Dongyingzhou, forming a closed-door and dog-fighting trend.
The best way for Jiuyou Kingdom.
Therefore, King Yama came to patrol the coastal areas and asked sergeants to be stationed here to strengthen vigilance and vigilance. Keep your eyes open. Once the enemy is found to be invading, he will annihilate the enemy at sea.
The enemy must not be allowed to occupy coastal fortresses and military ports.
King Yama, who made a round of inspections, turned back when he saw that there were no problems, and returned to the original road, heading towards the military government office.
Water drips constantly in the mountains, and soybean water drops continue to drip down from the canopy of trees overhead.
King Yama's lieutenant quickly held up an umbrella and raised it over his head to protect him from the raindrops.
"Commander, you'd better take a rest." After taking a few steps, the deputy general saw the increasingly tired look on King Yama's face and hurriedly advised him: "No matter how anxious you are, you still don't have an iron-clad physique.
No rest.”
"It's okay, we'll talk about rest later."
King Yama, who was about to agree, suddenly saw the director of the ghost doctor standing in front of the military government office in the rain and fog, waiting, and immediately gave up the idea of taking a rest.
King Yama quickened his pace and hurried towards the gate of the military mansion.
"Commander." The leader of the ghost doctor saluted King Yama who was passing by. King Yama immediately waved to him and signaled him to talk inside the house.
Entering the lobby, King Yama retreated to the left and right, leaving the ghost doctor behind before sitting down.
The head ghost doctor sat under him and said: "The source of disease in the drinking water source has been completely evolved. Next, the infection caused by the water source will be improved."
King Yama, who finally heard the good news, immediately beamed with joy, which instantly diluted the fatigue on his face and made him full of energy.
As long as the source of the disease is controlled and all infected soldiers are treated, the plague here will be completely cured.
"The next step is to wait for the support medicine to arrive. I will prepare the antidote immediately." At this point, the ghost doctor said again: "Commander, it is all thanks to Tu Gongjing this time. Without his information, we would still be here now.
Both eyes are darkened."
The ghost doctor was a doctor. He didn't know anything about military affairs or politics. He only knew that Tu Gongjing had helped a lot this time, so naturally he couldn't help but praise him.
"Yes." King Yama, who also breathed a sigh of relief, slightly chinned his head, indicating that he thought so too.
Regardless of whether the plague was caused by Tu Gong, he knew his mistakes and was able to correct them. He provided accurate information to the Jiuyou Kingdom army here, allowing the Jiuyou Kingdom to purify the source of the disease in time, and the epidemic situation improved. This is a great achievement.
However, immediately after, the head of the ghost doctor, who had been cheerful before, suddenly looked anxious, and asked at the same time: "But, can the commander urge the fleet transporting supplies to speed up their sailing, earlier?"
