Jiu Ban sat alone in Shaohong's study, looking a little lonely. It's quiet outside, and I have to say that Shaohong's house is also a big house in Huqin City. The mansion is deep in the courtyard, as long as the people living in the house are not deliberately noisy, then there will be no chaos. It's just that Shaohong likes to be quiet, so even if he chooses servants, he chooses those who don't like to talk.

As a result, the house looks a bit lifeless.

Sitting alone in the center of the room, Nine-and-a-half was perusing the briefings in his hand. Shaohong claimed that he was going to meet some people and left alone, while Jiu Ban sat in the guest's seat, and from time to time got up and went to Shaohong's table to get some new briefings and even report on the military situation to watch carefully, the more carefully he looked, the faster the cold sweat gushed out.

The more I read the briefing, the more I felt that I was a frog sitting in a well and watching the sky. Unsurprisingly, he thought everything was too rosy. Maybe he has been wandering in front of various countries for too long, or maybe the rivers and lakes and the military circles themselves are two different things, so Jiuhan doesn't know what happened between the remaining eight countries at all. If it weren't for reading these words, he really didn't know that the words he had just said were like a child dreaming, childish and ridiculous.

In the months when the war was ignited, there were heavy casualties among the eight nations. There was already a lot of contradiction between the southern mantis and Pu Lao, in the month after the artillery fire of the war had just been ignited, and the three kingdoms of the alliance were defeated, the contact and temptation between the mantis and Pu Lao were more or less large, small and large, and they lost thousands of troops respectively. Although it will not be greatly damaged, but at this time, the military heart of the Kiss Military Circle is unstable, and many people now almost distrust their monarch, after all, this kind of fake and shoddy thing has appeared once, and the country has fallen into a state of loss of trust, unless the gods appear, who can believe the words of a family?

The kiss is still cultivating, and the country of Pujiao has just been relieved of the whale disaster, and it is already a serious injury. It was only a week ago that the national teacher Yu Buzi rushed back to the country to solve the whale disaster, but fortunately, the country of Pujiao was located in the southeast of the mainland, and the Tiangao Emperor was far from having contact with the mantis, and he was not affected by the war for a while, but in fact, the soldiers who could be dispatched were only twenty or thirty thousand.

Compared to Pu Lao and Kiss, the situation in the country of the Devil is much more serious. The country of mocking wind has begun a tentative attack from the west of the country of the fox, which in itself forces the country of the country of the fox to withdraw from the state of neutrality; It's just a coincidence that there are too many coincidences in this world. The house leak happened to be raining continuously, and just when Jin Zhuzi succeeded to the throne, Jairus, who was located in its northern border, announced that he would send troops to attack the Qiyi. The army of the Nation of Eyes must be swift, and it only took three days to reach its southern border, and the confrontation with the army of the Beastly Country began.

War seems to be on the verge of breaking out, but in fact, the country of the fierce in the southwest has been busy building thousands of miles of sea barriers, and they can only divide just the right amount of troops to defend their northern border for the war on the mainland.

What is the Overlord doing at this time? It is too strange to look around in a bunch of briefings but never find any information about the country of the Overlord, Nine and a Half thought. Even the fact that the territory of the country of the underlord was swallowed up by the eyes and the mockery did not show any dissent was revealed in the information, but why was there no news about the country of the hegemon at this time?

Nine-and-a-half's brows furrowed tighter and tighter.

There are several very similar courtyards in this house, and in a courtyard on the north side of the house, Shaohong sits alone at the stone table in the center of the courtyard, drinking tea. This time, the tea in the teacup was hot, and she sipped it gently, a little lightly. The stone tables and chairs are very rough, and I don't know if it's to save simplicity or just because she likes this rough feeling, all in all, there are things with this texture everywhere in Shaohong's house. The real power controller of a country, the woman who almost controls the wealth of a country, can't see Zhang Jin Daiyin at home, but in an extremely simple style, which is really a little confusing.

She drank tea, stared at the tea in her hand and said lightly: "It's already here, don't hide it, if you have always been in this style, I'm afraid I won't be interested in the next cooperation." ”

As Shaohong's words fell, a man in a silver robe suddenly appeared in front of her. Although men wear heavy and formal clothes, there doesn't seem to be anything fussy about them. His steps were very light, and he walked in front of Shaohong after taking three steps and doing two steps, clasped his fists and saluted, and then said: "Yan Liang, the envoy of the country under his tyranny, has seen Shaohong's national teacher. ”

Shaohong didn't look up at him, just gently stroked his teacup and then said lightly: "Why, your new little monarch came alone with you?"

The man's robe was wide, and although his figure was not fat, when he raised his head now, there was not much flesh on his face, but his body seemed to be a bloated fat man, which made people look ridiculous. He put his hands into his long sleeves and then bowed slightly without looking at Shaohong, and said with a low brow: "The monarch asked me to send a message to Master Shaohong, wishing you happiness like the East China Sea and longevity than Tianqi." ”

"Heh," Shaohong scolded softly, smiling slightly contemptuously, as if he didn't feel anything about it. "As far as I know, none of those who liked to hear this sentence in the previous dynasty ended up dying well. With a "bang", she slammed the tea cup in her hand on the stone table beside her, and said, "Say, what is the matter with this visit? Could it be that your master asked me to save his woman again?"

After listening to Shaohong's words, the man hurriedly bent down and said with some sincere trepidation: "Don't dare, how dare I trouble Master Shaohong to do such a meaningless thing again......?"

"Align with each other. Shaohong said what he wanted to say for this man who claimed to be the envoy of the overlord of the country, these two words smashed coldly on Yan Liang's heart like a stone in the toilet, he looked up slightly in Shaohong's eyes while being surprised, but immediately lowered his head.

Those eyes were as indifferent as if a vulture was looking at a corpse.

"Go back," Shaohong stood up and walked towards a house in the courtyard, her steps firm and powerful, as if she would never look back. "It's very easy to help the overlord do a little thing, but for such a big thing as forming an alliance, how can it be that the overlord country has always wanted to be alone before, and now that he sees the wolf smoke in the nine countries, who does he want to huddle with to keep warm?"

The pressure of the mountains suddenly pressed up, and the man felt as if his shoulders had been exhausted by more than ten years, and almost collapsed under the other party's eyes. Indeed, Shaohong once took action for the current lord of the overlord when he was still the prince, and did some things that were quite unimpressive. I thought this was a little friendship, but I didn't expect that when it was really put on the table, Shaohong turned his face and didn't recognize people, and he didn't recognize it at all. In fact, regarding Shaohong's attitude, Yan Liang had already thought of it in his heart. After all, Baxia can be said to be the pass of the prisoner cow, and the pass is silent when he is most dangerous, so it is normal for the other party to be indifferent no matter how he talks about the conditions later.

Thinking of this, Yan Liang was glad that he had come prepared. Shaohong had already turned his head and walked in the opposite direction, but Yan Liang reluctantly took out a box from his cuff under great pressure, holding the box in both hands, his head lowered slightly, and said to Shaohong in a tone that was quite sincere and fearful, and there was a lot of timidity: "Master Shaohong, in order to show respect and courtesy, my lord has prepared a little light gift for the master, and I hope to accept it with a smile." ”

His head was very low, as if he didn't dare to look at Shaohong. Despite this gesture, the other party does not seem to understand. Shaohong didn't look back, just waved lightly, and the box flew out of Yan Liang's hand, and then landed lightly on Shaohong's hand. The box is jade, there is no pattern, and it has a somewhat quaint appearance. The white jade is warm and gentle, and it is very gentle in the hand. Shaohong gently opened the box, but the dazzling blue light suddenly burst out, as if the ocean had descended at this moment, which was awe-inspiring. Seeing the contents of the box, she smiled, and smiled a little brightly. The hegemon has no ability to govern the country, but this trick to please people is endless. Picking up the blue grain-like thing and throwing it into his mouth, Shaohong swallowed it directly. After the thing was in his stomach, Shaohong said to Yan Liang behind him: "Okay, you can go, go back and tell your master that I know about this, let him wait for the news." ”

Hearing Shaohong's words, Yan Liang was quite happy, after all, this is absolutely good news, isn't it equivalent to Shaohong relenting? So this person hurried up two steps and wanted to say something, but he didn't expect Shaohong to wave his sleeves, and his breath shook and directly shook it a few feet away. When Yan Liang turned his head to look at Shaohong again, he found that the prisoner Niu Guoshi had disappeared from his field of vision, leaving only a sound of "roll" echoing in his ears like gusts of wind and thunder. So he didn't dare to think about it at all, and quickly ran away with a roll on the ground.

In fact, although it was said to run away, Yan Liang's light skills were really not slow. Like a frightened rabbit, he slammed onto the roof of the house, and then sped away at great speed in the direction of the outside of the city. Shaohong, who was in the dark, stared at Yan Liang's departing figure and laughed involuntarily: "People, what an easily satisfying creature. ”

In an unknown place, a shadow slipped out, and did not meet the light.

Ten minutes later, Yan Liang's figure appeared on a small hillside outside Huqin City. Standing on the hillside, he looked at the shadow of Huqin City from afar, and unconsciously fell his eyes in the direction of Shaohong's house in the city, and his heart was inexplicably a little apprehensive. It all seemed to be going a little too smoothly, as if in a dream. Although he is a servant of the monarch of the overlord, he is just a weak person like a chicken boy when he stands in front of the real strong, everything makes people a little surprised, he really has close contact with that Shaohong? It's a little incredible.

Yan Liang didn't know what was in that box, he was just one of the close guards newly promoted by the monarch of the Tyrant Kingdom, and he was able to have this kind of identity before he was even a crown, Yan Liang couldn't be said to be complacent. How could a young man be accustomed to wearing elaborate robes? For him, this was just a disguise to disguise his identity and the eyes and ears of others. Leaning against the big tree, Yan Liang began to untie the robe on his body, and while untying him, he thought, since the matter has basically been completed, can he go back and ask the monarch for credit? What will the monarch reward himself?

Before everything could fully unfold in his mind, there was a sudden "bang" in his mind. Yan Liang couldn't tell, but at this moment, his physical strength was rapidly lost and then declined, and the limbs and five senses of the whole person were rapidly disappearing, and his body suddenly rushed forward, and he fell to the ground. Something bright red seems to be coming out of the body and into the mouth. Is it blood?

Behind Yan Liang, a man in a crimson cloak slowly withdrew his hand from his body, flicked it casually around, and did not make any further movements. The man's arms were covered in steel-like armor, almost armed to the teeth. The armor is hideous, no less terrifying and frightening than the dragon's claws. These hands seemed to be able to tear apart the heavens and the earth, and they took a person's name in an instant. After the killing, he seemed to be a little unsatisfied, squatted down, approached Yan Liang's ear and whispered to him: "Tell me about you, ah, what are you running out of the city without dying? If you stay in the inn in the city, you can live for an hour or two more, and if you run outside the city, isn't this a death? Hey, forget it, you don't know if you talk about it, and there is no lesson to learn in the future." ”

Before his consciousness dissipated, Yan Liang suddenly understood one thing at this time: The person who killed him was actually sent by Shaohong?

"You ......" At this time, his consciousness began to blur a little, Yan Liang forcibly took a breath and said, "You people from the country of the Prisoner Cow are actually ...... That's what happened!"

The man in white slammed his foot on his neck, and said in a casual tone: "Brother, what you said is a little wrong, right? ”

Yan Liang wanted to resist, but his neck was trampled on fiercely and his physical strength and consciousness were rapidly disappearing, he struggled like a fish out of water, but he couldn't escape the sanction of fate. Gradually, his breath became weaker and weaker, but the man in white who stepped on his neck kept saying as if he was talking more and more:

"Do you know how people usually die? Thinking too much about things and worrying too much about being exhausted. Tell me, when did Shaohong promise that you would form an alliance with Baxia? Why did you say you left so happily, losing your wife and losing your army. Now it's okay, not only did you lose your things, but you couldn't go back home and died here, you said you didn't lose anything. Besides, you prisoners of Niu Guojun, day by day, I don't know if you can make a face, why does the child feel that the world is his when he is young? What does he want to do, he wants to form an alliance, he wants to form an alliance, he wants to be self-reliant, he is self-reliant? I tell you, it's impossible. Everybody's in dire straits, it's just you sitting and waiting for something good, waiting for pie to fall from the sky, and I'll tell you......."

The man in white was still chattering, but the people under him didn't react for a long time. Could it be that he has choked his breath? The man lowered his body and lifted the cloak that was covering his head to look, and Yan Liang had already lost his breath.

"It's boring. Dropping these two words, the man in white turned around and walked towards Huqin City, his face was ruined beyond recognition by more than a dozen scars, as terrible as the scene of a car accident. But if Jiu Ban stood opposite him at this time, he would find that this person's identity was by no means ordinary, but an old acquaintance of his.

The autumn wind hunted, blowing through the cloak and revealing that hideous and terrifying face. It is said that thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi Mo bullied the young man poor, and to this day, who would have thought that this man in white who killed people with a terrifying face would be the man named Wuwei who dominated the entire country of mantis and kissed back then, and his status was no less than that of Shaohong, the national master of the Cow Prison today?
