There was even more noise outside the car because the car had already entered the city.
In the bustling Yuque City, there is a sense of peace and tranquility amid the noise.
But the inside of the car became dark, and when the shadow shrouded Xiao Shizhu's face, the fierce anger on his body filled every corner of the car. But Liuyun saw the dots in the eyes of the king in front of him who looked down upon the world.
Tears and sorrow.
She immediately thought that it was not Xiao Shizhu's sadness for the traitors on the city wall, but Xiao Shizhu's own words before, those ghosts who died in vain in villages with no survivors and bones everywhere.
And Liu Yun had also read in history books that when the Jiuyou Kingdom was founded, it was surrounded by powerful enemies. In order to weaken the Jiuyou Kingdom, these powerful enemies secretly lured the ghost people in the country, so traitors emerged one after another. These traitors
He often leads the enemy into the hinterland of Jiuyou Kingdom, colludes with the suppressed lawless tycoons or green forest bandits, and wreaks havoc on various parts of Jiuyou Kingdom.
There were countless burnings, killings, and looting, and the scene was too horrific to behold.
Especially when they were at war with Wu Hui's Zhu Rong Kingdom and Du Ziren's Southern Barbarians, these two powerful enemies secretly sent out well-equipped teams to seize the loopholes in the Jiuyou Kingdom's thousands-mile border that could not be completely guarded.
Sneak into the country.
Collaborating with the traitors in the country, they carried out large-scale raids and massacres on towns in the hinterland of Jiuyou Kingdom.
It is nothing more than trying to use this to make the Nine Nether Country's army overwhelmed.
Even in Danshui County, villages outside the city were looted during those two periods.
Rivers of blood flowed, and innocent people died frequently. Liuyun's parents were killed at that time.
Listening to what Xiao Shizhu said today, Liu Yun could somewhat understand why Xiao Shizhu was so cruel to traitors.
As Xiao Shizhu said, you don't have to be kind to lawless evil spirits.
The nonsense about being kind and tolerant to evil spirits is to provide a way for the victims to survive so that the evil spirits will not jump over the wall when committing crimes. This nonsense does not work here with Xiao Shizhu. He has always been adhering to the principle of using heavy codes to govern the country in troubled times, and killing to stop killing when necessary.
, Xiao Shizhu also did not hesitate.
It is precisely because of this that the prosperity and stability of Jiuyou Country can be achieved today.
Today, the laws of Jiuyou Kingdom are sacred and inviolable. Most ghosts among the ghosts do not dare to rebel against the country or violate the laws. Occasionally, there are a few desperadoes who are not afraid of death, but they cannot make any big waves.
No villages will be looted again, almost no lawless tyrants will dare to blatantly bully good people, no ghost people will starve to death and freeze to death for no reason, nor will they be helpless because of poverty, and there will not be too many ghost officials.
Dare to oppress the common people again. The ghost people have the backbone and unyielding heart. They are not afraid of foreign enemies externally, and they are not afraid of evil officials and lawless people internally. They are united as one and sincere. This is what Xiao Shizhu wants.
of peace and prosperity.
And Xiao Shizhu has always worked hard towards this goal.
He cannot give absolute equality to the ghost people of Jiuyou Kingdom, but he can give them absolute justice, and that is enough.
Therefore, Xiao Shizhu never tolerated those traitors who turned the domestic villages and towns into no man's land. The punishment used on these ghosts was so cruel.
This also allowed later historians to leave him with the reputation of a tyrant when writing history books.
He also allowed a small group of lawless ghosts who are ready to take action to secretly attack Xiao Shizhu and the court of Jiuyou Kingdom.
However, Xiao Shizhu wouldn't mind this.
After a while, Xiao Shizhu slowly put away his unnoticeable expression of sadness and stopped his tears, never letting them flow out.
After another long while, the chariot he was riding in had passed through the bustling ghost market in Yuque City and entered the palace gate.
After passing the palace gate, the car stopped not far behind the palace gate, in front of a jade-carved archway with imitation wood structure.
There are three rooms and four pillars in the entire archway, all connected by mortise and tenon joints. Each pillar and the front and back of the large and small squares are engraved with the pattern of Yunlong orbs. In front and behind the stone pillars, there are tall and mighty tomb-suppressing beasts standing on their backs, with their heads raised and looking ahead.
.
In the center of the main ridge of the archway are two standing ancient gods with human bodies and snake tails, with orbs on their heads and sea water on their feet, facing north and south.
The entire archway shows the royal style of the underworld.
Behind the archway is a square stone platform. There are white stone pillars carved on the left, right and front three sides. On the four sides, there are candlesticks about one foot high. It is a full-height round body with three layers of melon petals and multiple bases.
Layers, intricate carvings and grandeur.
The ever-burning lamp on the candlestick has been burning here for thousands of years and has never been extinguished no matter how windy or rainy it is.
Behind the stone platform, there is a complex of magnificent palace buildings. Some are majestic, some are small and elegant, and there are countless scenes.
Each scene is intertwined, layer by layer.
Clear blue water passes through the heart, and Bailian waterfalls surround it in all directions. In the ghostly mist, palaces and pavilions are looming, pavilions and pavilions are looming, under the hanging rainbow, there are pavilions, houses, boats, halls, bridges and gates with strange lights.
Although it is not as huge as the Six Heavenly Gods and Ghosts Palace on Fengduluo Mountain, it is by no means inferior to the Six Heavens Gods and Ghosts Palace in terms of momentum and grandeur.
Liuyun, who had just gotten out of the car following Xiao Shizhu who was holding a sword, was immediately dazzled by all this.
Everything in front of her eyes looked like a beautiful world of flowers to Liuyun, and she couldn't help but feel a little dreamy in her heart. She felt that everything in front of her was not real.
The ghost mother, who had received the message from the fungi, took Chen Ruo and Xun Xiang, as well as several guards and Lin Cong to the stone platform to wait.
After seeing Xiao Shizhu, she got out of the car. The ghost mother also walked off the stone platform and greeted Xiao Shizhu with a smile on her face: "You are finally back."
Arriving in front of Xiao Shizhu, the ghost mother hurriedly looked up and down at her husband opposite her. After seeing that Xiao Shizhu was unharmed, she felt completely relieved.
The ghost mother turned her eyes and looked at Liuyun who was following Xiao Shizhu. She also looked up and down and asked, "Is this the girl you were talking about?".
Liu Yun quickly lowered his head and timidly said a blessing to the ghost mother.
Xiao Shizhu nodded and said, "Yes, her name is Liuyun."
As for Liuyun's situation, he had already asked the accompanying fungi to send a message to the ghost mother in Yuque Palace.
"Chen Ruo Xunxiang, come here." The ghost mother saw that although the girl was a little timid, she was still polite, so she waved behind her and said: "Take this child to change into clean and brand-new clothes.
Bring her some food and teach her the rules of the palace."
Especially when Liu Yun inadvertently raised her head after her salute, the ghost mother saw her pure and clean eyes and liked it very much.
Chen Ruo and Xun Xiang responded, walked up, and were about to take Liu Yun away.
Liuyun took a step back and looked timidly at Xiao Shizhu, seeking his opinion with questioning eyes.
"Go ahead, they will take you to eat delicious food." Xiao Shizhu smiled faintly, tilted his head slightly, and said: "Chen Ruo, bring Liu Yun to Juexiang Garden in the evening, and also inform Master Weng and Mrs. Lai that tonight
Eat with us."
"No." Chen Ruo responded, holding Liu Yun's handbag, and like a big sister, she whispered to Liu Yun: "Come with me, girl."
Xiao Shizhu watched Liu Yun who turned around three times. After following Chen Ruo and Xun Xiang to leave, he also walked side by side with the ghost mother and walked to the stone platform. He saw Liu Yun again, who had already gotten off the stone platform and walked into the palace.
cloud.
The ghost mother also looked at where he looked, at Liuyun's retreating back, and said leisurely: "This girl is a bit timid."
"Country children, seeing such a big world all of a sudden, and a place where she is the devil, it is inevitable to be timid." Xiao Shizhu said calmly, and then called Lin Cong beside him.
"In the prison car behind you, there is the assassin leader. You arrange for someone to secretly bring the prison car into the Xuanjiao General Forum and start the interrogation." When Lin Cong walked to Xiao Shizhu, he said: "Before the interrogation results come out,
, this matter is absolutely confidential, do not leak it."
After Lin Cong nodded in agreement, Xiao Shizhu and the Ghost Mother walked off the stone platform together and headed towards the palace.
"I also said that I would take a bath in the hot springs and have some rest when I get back, but seeing that you brought Lin Cong here with you, I'm afraid I won't have much time to rest." Xiao Shizhu said after not taking a few steps: "Is there something wrong?
Is there any important matter that I need to make an immediate decision on?"
While they were talking, they were already walking towards the Juexiang Garden in the palace.
Lin Cong, who had arranged the prison van and the prisoners, hurried up from behind them.
"Let Lin Cong tell you." The ghost mother stopped smiling, and a trace of anger flashed in her eyes.
Xiao Shizhu had a hunch that this matter might be related to the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom, so the ghost mother became angry when she mentioned it.
"Let me guess." Xiao Shizhu said slowly, without being impatient or angry, "Is the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom seeking death again?".
Lin Cong, who was following closely behind, nodded and said: "My lord is half right, it's not that he is seeking death again, but he has been seeking death for a long time."
Xiao Shizhu listened silently and motioned for him to continue.
"According to the secret report from Commander-in-Chief Yama, the source of the plague in Dushuo Mountain has been discovered and purified. Once the ghost medicine delivered by the Imperial Army arrives, the sick sergeant will be completely cured."
"It's just that the source of the disease also comes from the Qingqiu Fox Country." Lin Cong paused and continued: "The King of Yama found out that all the plagues came from the Qingqiu Fox Country through a human soul Tu Gongjing of the Tushan clan.
It is spread through water flow. All sources of disease come from local drinking water sources.”
Xiao Shizhu remained silent, but the fists in his sleeves were clenched tightly. The veins on the back of his hands slowly bulged.
Qingqiu Fox Country's repeated attempts to seek death made him lose his good impression and patience towards this ally, and he became even more angry.
If there was not a trace of sanity left, if Jiuyou Country had just ended the war and needed to recuperate. If the heavy rain in Dongyingzhou had not continued and the roads were muddy and inconvenient for logistics and transportation, Xiao Shizhu would have sent out his troops with his sword and crushed the Qingqiu Fox.
country.
But anger was anger, so Xiao Shizhu endured it and suppressed the anger in his chest.
"Moreover, my spies have secretly detected that the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom's army is mobilizing frequently, and most of the elite soldiers and generals are moving closer to our country's border in the rain." Lin Cong said this and followed Xiao Shizhu to the palace.
In a pavilion by the stream beside Zhongda Avenue.
The maids and palace maids brought the tea and pastries that had been prepared and placed them in the pavilion for Xiao Diazhu and Ghost Mother to enjoy.
Xiao Shizhu, who sat down, asked the palace maid to serve Lin Cong a cup of tea, and then motioned for them to leave.
After the maids exited, Lin Cong, who was holding a teacup in his hand, continued to say to Xiao Shizhu in the rising heat: "And we also found out that the army of the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom began to equip the Netherworld Ghost Cannon, which came from the Six Kingdoms.
Tianzhou’s Netherworld Ghost Cannon.”.
The muscles at the corners of Xiao Shizhu's eyes twitched slightly.
He is no longer the kid who still pretends to be a magic stick in the human world. Xiao Shizhu, who has come to the underworld and fought so many battles, is already very experienced. As soon as he heard about this, he knew that the Qingqiu Fox Country was preparing for war and launching a war in the future.
His opponent is Xiao Shizhu’s Jiuyou Kingdom.
The Netherworld Ghost Cannon has always been a weapon that Jiuyou Kingdom has dreamed of but could not find. On the battlefield, it is also the deadly weapon that kills the most soldiers of Jiuyou Kingdom.
It is also a weapon that gives the Jiuyou Kingdom army, from soldiers to commanders, a headache.
Fortunately, this kind of ghost cannon is heavy and difficult to carry. Moreover, the reloading speed and firing speed are not fast. Otherwise, the Nine Nether Kingdom army on the battlefield will only suffer more casualties.
At this time, the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom mobilized troops and generals to approach the border and equipped a large number of Netherworld ghost cannons. It can be seen that the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom not only wants to deal with the Jiuyou Kingdom, but also has secretly received the support of the Beiyin Dynasty.
War is approaching.
After the rainy season, no, maybe the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom will launch an attack on the Jiuyou Kingdom at the end of the rainy season.
In Xiao Shizhu's view, the intention of Qingqiu Fox Country is also very obvious. It is nothing more than that the Qingqiu Fox King has disappeared and wants to monopolize Dongyingzhou. Then there are three pillars in the world, Jiuyou Kingdom, Beiyin Dynasty and Qingqiu Fox Country.
, dividing the underworld into three parts.
But in Xiao Shizhu's opinion, Qingqiu Fox King is just a daydream.
Xiao Shizhu also saw Beiyin Dynasty's abacus clearly. When two tigers fight, one of them will be injured. Beiyin Dynasty should take the opportunity to watch the fire from the other side so that it can recuperate and recuperate.
Then, he merged Jiuyou Kingdom and Qingqiu Fox Kingdom, and then completed the unification of the entire underworld.
While Xiao Shizhu was meditating, Lin Cong took a sip of tea and said: "While Qingqiu Fox Country is actively preparing its troops for war, it has also attracted the remaining ghost countries in Dongyingzhou, and they have also begun to prepare their troops for war.
, the target is also our country’s border fortresses and passes in Japan.”
"Does Chunyun know about this?" At this time, Xiao Shizhu, who had been silent for a long time, asked.
"I know. Only she, Yama King Marshal, and some generals in Dongyingzhou know about this matter. It is still confidential and the matter has not been fully disclosed." After Lin Cong answered, he added: "And I also got a
According to the news, Qingqiu Fox King is already preparing to leave for our country to meet with the Lord."
Lin Cong paused, narrowed his eyes slightly, lowered his voice and asked Xiao Shizhu: "Do you want to kill Qingqiu Fox King before he arrives?".
At this moment, Lin Cong's eyes contained murderous intent and his gaze became sharp.
Lin Cong believes that the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom cannot always make small moves behind the Jiuyou Kingdom's back. Only by treating others in their own way can the Qingqiu Fox Ghosts be afraid.
Xiao Shizhu did not rush to agree, but suppressed his anger and pondered.
After Qingqiu Fox King sets out to leave Qingqiu Fox Country, it would be good to secretly kill Qingqiu Fox King. But in this way, the war will not only be advanced, but Qingqiu Fox Country will bite back Jiuyou Country and accuse Jiuyou.
An excuse for the country to destroy peace.
After all, the small actions of the Qingqiu Fox Country are carried out secretly and few people know about it. If the Qingqiu Fox Country refuses to admit these crimes, there must be many ghosts in the underworld who are not well-informed and think that Jiuyou
The country relies on its strength to bully the weak.
Thinking of this, Xiao Shizhu could only temporarily swallow his anger, gritted his teeth, and said: "No, let him Qingqiu Fox King set off safely, come to our country safely, and return intact.".
