The raindrops all over the sky formed a huge rain curtain, falling from the sky continuously.
The slight coldness and coolness is still dispersing under the rain and fog.
The dense dark clouds in the sky blocked the sunlight, making the world dim.
But Hu Qingping, who was in the darkness, felt a bright heart.
The King of Qingqiu gave the important task of accompanying the guards around him when he went abroad to Hu Qingping. This was not only a glorious task for Hu Qingping, but also reflected the King of Qingqiu's trust in Hu Qingping.
If all such heavy responsibilities are handed over to Hu Qingping, then Hu Qingping's position as the prince in Qingqiu Fox Kingdom will only become more and more stable.
After that, if Hu Qingping can complete this mission well, his position as crown prince in the Fox Kingdom will be even more unbreakable.
Thinking of this, Hu Qingping also had a proud look in his eyes.
After stabilizing the position of the crown prince, after the old Qingqiu Fox King returns to the west, the throne of the Ghost King will be inherited by Hu Qingping.
After Hu Qingping was proud for a moment, he slowly calmed down amid the rustling rain and thought about the candidate seriously.
After a while, Hu Qingping seemed to have chosen the candidate, so he was still standing aside and quietly waited for the old fox ghost and said, "Go and call those four brothers."
After saying that, Hu Qingping turned around and walked into the hall behind him.
The old fox ghost immediately understood and turned around here and ran towards the rain.
The heavy rain in the strong wind quickly soaked the old fox ghost's undry robe again.
In the hall, there are also colorful jade trees, giant pillars made of colorful jade trees, supporting the high roof of the hall. The base of each column is made of green wormwood, which is as bright as spring grass and bright green.
All of them are square bases, with raspberry-shaped on top, high embossed lotus petals on the top, and a circular jack in the center that jammed the giant column.
The surrounding carved foxes travel between the mountains. The square seats are shallow reliefs of honeysuckle patterns and cloud patterns. There are round carved foxes, ghosts, musical boys on each corner of the square seats, which are respectively made of drums, gazes, pipas and dances.
.
The entire column foundation is not only exquisitely carved, but also exquisitely refined and unconventional.
The ground is covered with patterned carpets made of gold and silver threads and decorated with kirin velvet. The overall pattern is grand and soft, spreading throughout every corner of the hall.
It is soft when you step on it, and it doesn't hurt your feet, it's very comfortable.
Deep in the hall, there is a throne made of green and very smooth spiritual life wood.
The throne is carefully carved, with a delicate and tight texture, a deep and simple luster, and a shaped like jade. The floating clouds and patterns are majestic, and the dragons are lifelike, and the overall look is also magnificent.
The two nine-tailed foxes on the left and right sides of the throne, made of pure casting, squatted on both sides. They were golden and dazzling all over their bodies.
The nine-tailed fox statue was full of golden light, with hollowed out eyes, and a faint fragrance spreading.
On the edge of the Nine-tailed Fox statue, there is a copper incense furnace, which is used to make charcoal fire to keep warm. Now, the best charcoal is lit in the incense furnace.
The best charcoal gas is warm and resistant to burning, gray but not bursting, and does not rise ashes, making it easy to clean.
Light the charcoal to emit heat, dispelling the chill that spreads into the hall from the wind and rain, making the hall warm like spring without any coldness.
Hu Qingping walked into the empty hall where he was only himself and sat on the throne. The fluffy fox tail behind his legs slowly rolled into a circle and plated it up. Hu Qingping also listened to the sound of wind and rain outside the hall, slightly
Close your eyes and take a nap.
The centipede beads on the beams and pillars illuminate the deep hall.
No matter how loud the wind and rain outside the hall was, it became much smaller when it came into the hall. Hu Qingping, who was sitting deep in the hall, heard the wind and rain outside the hall, no longer noisy.
The faint sound of wind and rain made Hu Qingping sleepy. After a while, he bent his arm on the handrail of the throne, supported his face that was tilted to one side, and fell asleep.
I don't know how long I slept, but a small palace slave walked in and woke up Hu Qingping who was dozing off. He handed the small bowl with undrafted undrafts and peony patterns in his hand.
Fox Qingping.
The mellow smell of wine in the bowl spreads out, and a pool of green wine sways slightly in the bowl, causing ripples.
This bowl of green wine was used to warm Hu Qingping up his body.
On heavy rain, the yin energy is stronger than before, but it is also hit by cold. Although the ghosts in the underworld are nourished by the yin energy, everything cannot be too strong.
In such weather, if you drink a sip of wine to warm your body, the ghosts will feel even more comfortable.
Hu Qingping picked up the wine bowl and took a sip of wine. The palace slave bowed and retreated.
As the green wine penetrated the throat, the fox's clear body gradually became warm and very comfortable.
The little palace servant left, and the old fox ghost turned back again, crossed the threshold, and walked into the hall.
This time, this old fox ghost is no longer a ghost alone, and there are four fox ghosts behind him, each with different heights, fatness and thinness.
The tall fox ghost had a round bun on the right side of his head, wearing a long knee-length robe, a long face with thick eyebrows and leopard eyes, a beard with beard, and a cold and majestic face.
The short five-foot figure has a long mane under her neck and floats to the bottom of her chest. The fox’s face has thick and black eyebrows and deep eyes, which are all very conspicuous.
The fat one was only half a foot taller than Love, with fat all over his body, thick legs and thick hands, a round belly, and his small eyes were squinting and he couldn't see it. He was so naive that he kept smiling on his face.
Although the thin one was thin, her face was round, and her arms, which were longer than her knees, were always hugging her chest. Her pair of green eyes were rolling around.
The four fox ghosts lined up in a row, followed the old fox ghost and stood in front of Hu Qingping, and they all knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Hu Qingping.
These four fox ghosts are the four brothers whom Hu Qingping asked the old fox ghost to call. They are real four brothers, born of the same surname and father and mother, and are definitely not sworn brothers.
The four brothers also served as officials in the court of the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom. They were the Crown Prince Hu Qingping and the current Qingqiu Fox King, and the most trusted personal guard.
Moreover, the four brothers were given the surname "Hu" by the current Qingqiu Fox King because of their loyalty and numerous military achievements.
Because the word Hu is homophonic with fox, these four brothers are also called the four brothers of the country's surname by the ghosts in the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom.
After bowing, the four fox ghosts squatted towards Hu Qingping's left leg, and hit the ground with his right knee. He lowered his head slightly and looked directly at Hu Qingping in front of him.
And the old fox ghost also retreated aside.
"Please give me instructions." Then the four brothers stood up and said.
Hu Qingping took another sip of wine before slowly saying: "Today I asked you four brothers to come, just for one thing, that is, my father is about to go abroad to go on a mission to meet with the Jiuyou King.
But my father traveled far away and was a casual, reliable and loyal guard. After thinking about it, it was the most suitable for you four ghosts."...
The heavy rainstorms in Yingzhou are constantly falling, and it is a bright sunny day near Yuque City, Xuanyanzhou. The scorching sun shines brightly, and the world is bright.
However, the heavy rain in the second half of the night last night was still on the well-connected path outside the city, leaving behind water traces and mud that were not yet thirsty.
Xiao Shizhu's carriage was speeding on the underworld road. The hand of the beast soul pulled the carriage and the wheels flew past the water on the road, causing splashing water.
"I'm back home." Xiao Shizhu in the car stretched his waist and looked at the scenery outside the curtains. He was overjoyed: "I'm going to take a hot spring when I go back, have a good meal, and sleep well again.
Last sleep.”.
Qing Lan, who was standing beside him, joked to Xiao Shizhu inappropriately and said, "But lord, after enjoying those, there are also piles of memorials waiting for you. There are endless state affairs that will never be handled."
.
It’s not a joke that Xiao Shizhu is used to joking with Xiao Shizhu. After hearing this, Xiao Shizhu not only did not glar and smile, but was not angry. Instead, he was instantly happy and depressed and helpless.
Xiao Shizhu would not act like a king anytime, anywhere. When there was nothing important, he and his subordinates could still joke.
He is not suitable to be a monarch who has a stern face all day long. If he had to do that, Xiao Shizhu would definitely find a white silk to hang himself.
The dejected Xiao Shizhu soon had a gloomy expression on his face and said anxiously to Qinglan: "If you make me happy, you will die."
There was a little complaint in his tone.
Qinglan smiled again and stopped talking, but mentioned the table. The copper pot with dragon ears on each side of the pot was poured into Xiao Shizhu a glass of fruit wine.
Liu Yun, who was sitting in the car with them, was lying on the window, looking curiously out of the window, accompanied by the cool breeze, looking left and right.
Every scenery is novel for this little girl who has never been out of Danshui County.
The purple fruit wine slowly fell into the golden lord specially used by Xiao Shizhu. After the full cup, Qinglan stopped. Xiao Shizhu also put away his frustration, leaned down and lowered his head. His divine mouth approached the glass of Chinese American wine. First
After taking a sip, he slowly picked up the Golden Earl.
After taking another sip of the wine, Xiao Shizhu was happy again and his face was full of joy.
Anyway, Xiao Shizhu's job is to deal with endless state affairs and make military operations. He has long been used to it. Although he will complain, he will not really hate it.
The gloom on his face before has disappeared.
Suddenly, a high tower appeared in front of Liu Yun's eyes. On the edge of the Ming Dao, a tower dozens of feet tall was soaring and was about to soar into the air.
The tower is under the high platform and is built with a high foundation. Above all, four gilded flying dragons are walking with their heads raised, as if they are about to lift their feet and fly straight up to the sky.
The tower is divided into ten floors and has eight large windows in the middle. On each floor, crystal eaves are grown from the left and right sides of the windows. The copper bells hanging high on the eaves sway in the wind, and the pleasant ringtones are accompanied by
The sound of the wind resounds under the sky.
Liu Yun had never seen such a tall tower before, and couldn't help but blurt out: "Wow."
She was born and raised in Danshui County. The lighthouse she had seen before the sea in the county was only about ten feet high, far less than the tall tower that flew past at this moment.
The tall tower passing by in front of him made Liuyun amazed. But Xiao Shizhu and Qinglan just glanced at the tall tower outside the window, and their faces were still calm.
This is one of the tall towers specially used for air defense outside Yuque City. Seeing it indicates that it is getting closer and closer to Yuque City.
"Qinglan, go and exchange the black monkey in. Let's go to the northern side gate to enter the city." Xiao Shizhu put down his wine glass and said to Qinglan: "Tell the sergeant that the speed can be slower."
"No." Qinglan responded and walked towards the car door.
After a while, the black monkey was replaced.
"Monkey, eat a fruit." Xiao Shizhu picked up the table and closed the shallow belly and a fruit in the flat-bottomed silver plate was thrown towards the black monkey.
The black monkey reached out and caught the oncoming fruit without leaving. He nodded and then started to bite it.
"Liuyun, let's have dinner with me, my wife and children today." Then, Xiao Shizhu said to Liuyun who was still lying by the window looking at the scenery: "By the way, let you see my daughter.
”.
Liu Yun suddenly felt nervous when she heard this. But to her, Xiao Shizhu's words were not for advice, but for orders. The next second, Liu Yun nodded and responded.
When Liuyun relieved his tension a little, he looked outside the car. In the crowds of people, the coachman shook a hurry ringing to warn pedestrians to avoid it. At the same time, the car happened to turn a corner outside the north gate of Yuque City and go from the city gate.
The pedestrians that come and go pass by and drive towards the northeast.
The prison carriage that followed immediately followed Xiao Shizhu's carriage and headed to the northeast.
The tall city tower with heavy eaves, the fierce tomb-stopping beast stone sculptures in front of the city tower, and the figures of the city guarding officers who were waiting for battle on the city gate tower all flashed past Liu Yun.
Liu Yun had time to take a closer look, but these scenery was left far behind.
The next scene made Liu Yun frightened.
She saw that there were many corpses hanging on the city wall by ropes, and the ropes were just around the neck of each corpse. They were hanging outside the city wall, slowly swaying left and right in the strong wind.
, very much like the pendulum of some clocks.
The bones were covered with whites, hanging in the wind, Liuyun felt a little frightened and nervous again.
Then, she felt relieved again. Just because she saw a few prominent words written on the tall brick wall with red paint: "This is the end of the traitor."
Liu Yun, who was not a traitor, naturally, he would not be nervous after seeing the bones and rotten corpses. It was just that those bones were full of lushness, the hollow eyes on the head, and the scene of corpses swaying in the wind, for Liu Yun
Still a little scary.
I am still scared, and it is inevitable.
"King, why do you hang these traitors on the wall?" Just as the black monkey finished eating the fruit and put down the curtains of the car according to Xiao Shizhu's sign, Liuyun mustered up the courage and said to Xiao Shizhu: "Is this too much?
Cruel?".
She could imagine that the corpses on the city wall outside the car were hung to death on the city wall. No one went to collect the corpses, and no one dared to go.
Because those ghosts are traitors.
Even though Liu Yun knew that these traitors were not worthy of pity and sympathy, she still felt that it was acceptable to directly execute the traitors, and it would be difficult for her torture the corpse in this way.
"The country needs deterrence, and civilization is not constructed by mercy on criminals. There is nothing cruel or cruel." Xiao Shizhu's face was very calm, and there was no insincere in his eyes: "Those hanging on that city wall were betrayed us
The Ghost Country and the traitors of the ghost people in the country. Some of the corpses even indirectly led to hundreds of ghost people's family destruction. Such ghosts beheaded with a knife and executed them, which is too cheap for them to behead them.
On the city wall, slowly torture them to death can also give future generations a warning."
This sentence shocked Liuyun and made her dizzy.
At this moment, Xiao Shizhu was looking at her as if she was a moody, cruel and cruel tyrant.
"Maybe you would say that I am a tyrant, but when you have seen the ghosts who have been betrayed by these traitors, they die tragically, or for their ulterior motives, you will feel that even if you let them go
It's too cheap for them to hang them." Xiao Shizhu put down the golden lord and slowly exuded a sense of resentment on his body: "The kind of village that has no one survived because of the traitor's own desires and has no bones everywhere, has been established in our country.
