Chudu, Yingcheng.

The moonlight shines on the snow before the hall falls, and the windows are bright and clean. In the secluded room, the furnishings are extremely simple, but they do not lose style. If it weren't said, no one would associate it with the current Chuhou.

Chu Hou Cai Tong trembled, although he was called Hou Liguo, but he did not dare to build a palace, and always lived in the former Jingzhou Thorn Mansion.

Cai Tong was wearing a cloth suit, with a gray beard, and the skin folds on his face were wrinkled but shiny. He reclined on the couch and watched the full moon sink in the sky, the knuckles of his hands gurgling.

"So, as soon as Yang Xian returned to Shu from Liangzhou, he began to rectify military affairs and train soldiers and horses?"

"Yes."

Half-kneeling in front of Cai Tong was a demon, although the black robe covered the body, the beast traces on his face were clearly visible.

"It's really a good gesture, I went to Liangzhou, got three foreign aids, and got an elite army. is worthy of being the descendant of Yang You'an! Cai Tong let out a long sigh, praising on his lips, but there was a gloating expression on his face, "Presumably Huan Wu's teeth must be itching with hatred now." ”

"Master Hou, recently, the soldiers and horses of Shu have been making abnormal movements on the border of Chu State, you must be on guard!"

"What do you mean?"

Yang Ci was no one in his eyes back then, and Yang Xian was even more young and vigorous. Yang Xian holds the Xia Gong Nirvana of the King of Shu in his hand, which is the orthodoxy of the Great Zhou. If he makes a move on Chu, Hou Ye is very passive! ”

Cai Tong smiled, his eyes widened, and the invisible energy condensed in the air, rushing straight towards the demon.

The demon wanted to dodge, but where could he dodge, he was knocked away by this energy for more than ten paces, and slammed into the wooden door, shaking the sawdust to pieces, and then stopped.

The black robe flew over, revealing a lion face inside, extremely embarrassed.

"Shi Meng, are you a fool when everyone else? Old, but so stupid. If you want to sow discord, let's learn more! ”

"Don't dare."

Shi Meng hurriedly got up, knelt on the ground, and laid his face in the darkness.

"I have a cooperative relationship with your demon clan. However, there are too many small actions of your demon clan. After your brother Shi Wei set off the Jisun Rebellion more than 100 years ago, he has been hiding in the southwest county and is in the company of the local people. In the fourth year of Yonghe, he died at the hands of Yang Xian. In the fifth year of Yonghe, a demon clan's camp in the Beishan Mountains of Liangzhou was destroyed, and the demons died cleanly, and the trade route that your demon clan painstakingly operated was destroyed, and it was inseparable from Yang Xian. You want to borrow a knife to kill someone, but you also have to see if the knife is willing? ”

Shi Meng knelt on the cold ground, cold sweat on his back, he didn't expect that Cai Tong actually had a clear grasp of the secrets of their demon clan.

After thinking about it for a long time, Shi Meng just thought of a perfunctory reason.

"Master Hou, we ......."

Who knew that as soon as Shi Meng spoke, he was scolded back by Cai Tong.

"Ben Hou is not interested in knowing about the rotten things of your demon clan. You know, we're in partnership. Since it is cooperation, it is mutually beneficial. If you want to deal with Yang Xian, you can go. However, that's a matter for your demon clan, and it has nothing to do with Benhou. ”

Cai Tong looked at Shi Meng, there was no trace of emotion in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth still had a look of playfulness.

Shi Meng raised his head, and Cai Tong's expression made him very unhappy. That contemptuous expression, as if he was just a puppet to be played with by Cai Tong.

And what made Shi Meng not angry the most, he knew that this was the truth. He is a puppet in Cai Tong's hands. Over the years, Cai Tongtong has done many dirty things, but he has not been touched at all.

The old fox in front of him does not leave any tail and is ruthless. He has cooperated with the demon clan for many years, but he has not fallen into Shi Meng's hands at all.

In other words, if Cai Tong is willing, out of this door, his Shi Meng is a demon clan, and he has nothing to do with him Cai Tong.

"Got it down!"

Shi Meng was about to go out, but he heard Cai Tong behind him say: "The door is broken, you have to pay for it!" ”

Shi Meng's body trembled, endured a breath, and finally replied.

"Don't worry, Master Hou, I will send the money for the door repair tomorrow."

As soon as Shi Meng's figure left, a black shadow appeared in front of Cai Tong, very respectful.

"What is the purpose of the Shu army's movement on the border?"

"The movements of the Shu army are unknown, and the minister has not been aware of Yang Xian's intentions for the time being. However, Yang Xian just made a move in Liangzhou, but he doesn't have the energy to make trouble in my Chu State anymore! ”

"Don't underestimate this kid. He killed the Demon Emperor and occupied the Demon City, but gave it to Zhu Zi. Mingli was Zhu Zi who took a big advantage, but secretly led Liang Jun to the trouble, forcing Zhu Wuxiao to have to ally with him. But even so, the people and soldiers of Liangzhou were still grateful to him. Yang Xian's purpose is not simple, you keep an eye on it. ”

"Yes, Master Hou!" The black shadow paused and continued, "Shi Meng's demon has evil intentions. The demon clan has a layout in various places, and the ambition of the wolf son is obvious. Hou Ye has to guard against it! ”

"The sky is falling, and there are tall men on top of it. The demon domain is far away in the extreme west, if there is really any action, there is also Huan Wu in front, and it is not my turn to worry about it. Cai Tong sneered, brushed his beard, and asked instead, "Have those sea clans stopped recently?" ”

"Since the monks of the Sea King's Palace went to the border, those Sea Clans have converged a lot."

"But it's not cheap!"

Cai Tong sighed leisurely, with a look of regret on his face.

The Sea King Palace is a big sect, and the disciples in the sect are good at the art of driving away water. The aliens in the sea often harassed the coastline of the Chu State, and Cai Tong had no choice but to spend money to invite the monks of the Sea King Palace to drive away these sea tribes.

The effect is good, but the money is also spent, which can't help but make him a little painful.

"In the final analysis, it's because of Huan Wu. Our own navy has been dragged across the border, which is why these sea aliens are so rampant. ”

"Master Hou, there is one more thing. This year's weather was early and cold, and the harvest in our country was not ideal. Qingshui County and several surrounding areas are suffering from food shortages, and some people have already begun to make trouble. ”

"It's Fan Qing's descendants of those old departments again!" A look of disgust appeared on Cai Tong's face, "In the past thirty years, the world has been in chaos. Ben Hou did his best and slept all night, just for the peace of this Chu country. Benhou often takes no more than eight sets in the four seasons, the food is not sweet, and it is difficult to think about material resources. But those people can't understand the plight of the country, so let them die! ”

"Got it!"

The black shadow disappeared without a trace, and in this empty room, only Cai Tong's sarcastic voice echoed.

"Yang You'an, you treated me like a fly back then, but so what? For more than 30 years, I have been the marquis of a country, and you have already been buried in the loess, presumably the grave in Guanzhong has already been overgrown with wild grass! ”
