The night breeze is gentle, and it also brings a little coolness when it whistles in the sinkhole. Outside the apse of the Qiancheng Palace, three or two palace people gathered together in front of the abutment depicting the story of the fox demon under the main hall, and discussed in a low voice: "The lord has not come for many days, and as soon as he comes, the fox lady is excited to cry." ”。

In fact, it's also idle chatter, so although the topic is very unnutritious, the palace people involved in it are all talking about it.

"Ahem. Qing Lan walked over quietly, and after standing beside them, she coughed lightly, startling these palace people, and scolded in a deep voice: "It's all okay, right?"

After the palace people laughed, they each gave Qinglan a salute, and then they all left in a huff, and they went their own ways.

Under the night, the palace lights were bright and dazzling, and in the night breeze, Qing Lan turned around silently and looked towards the apse on the high platform. The cry floating from the apse was heartbreaking, and it was really heart-wrenching, even Qinglan, a ghost who had no relationship with the fox queen and had no reason, couldn't help but be moved when she heard the sound, and even her brows furrowed slightly.

I couldn't help but think in my heart: "Lord's tonight, I'm afraid it's also a worrying night." ”。

In the Qiancheng Palace, Tu Yaoqing, who had been crying for a long time, seemed to be tired of crying, and the loud crying before had turned into a low sob. But Xiao Shizhu was a little more helpless, the front of his robe was already wet, clinging to his chest, very uncomfortable.

Tu Yaoqing's tears, and perhaps snot, all flowed down to his front. But seeing Tu Yaoqing crying so sadly, Xiao Shizhu remembered what the ghost mother said, Tu Yaoqing was also a victim and a poor person, so he couldn't help but be ruthless, and pushed the fox away from him, so he could only let the wet placket dry himself.

After a long time, Tu Yaoqing didn't cry as much, and Xiao Shizhu said: "I said fox Ji, you are so heavy." I couldn't breathe. ”。

When Tu Yaoqing heard this, he hurriedly got up, raised his hand to wipe away the sad tears from the corners of his eyes, and did not forget to glance at Xiao Shizhu. But I saw that Xiao Shizhu's front placket was already wet, and a faint apology appeared on his face, which was mixed with a little embarrassment.

"Don't cry. Xiao Shizhu looked at the female ghost with pear blossoms and rain in front of him, and suddenly his heart softened. For the first time, he showed a little tenderness to this female ghost who married him with a political purpose, and then slowly raised his hand to help Tu Yao Qingzai carefully wipe the tears on his face: "If you cry again, you have to cry like a big face, and the next time you have a festival, you can go to play a ghost show in the palace." ”。

Of course, Xiao Shizhu didn't forget to be very happy, and when he said this Tu Yaoqing, he raised his hand and patted him lightly on the back of his chest, but he also burst into laughter.

For a while, Tu Yaoqing also forgot the strong sadness before. The smile on his cheeks was so bright that it rained and the sky was clear.

"Tomorrow we will go and collect your father's body, and although I cannot bury him, I can still collect his body. Xiao Shizhu grabbed Tu Yaoqing's hand on his chest, pulled it forward, and took Tu Yaoqing back into his arms.

"Hmm. Tu Yaoqing nodded silently, and her cheeks suddenly fluttered. But then when he heard Tu Gongqi, there was a faint sadness in his eyes. It's just that she snuggled in Xiao Shizhu's arms, and she no longer has the same deep sadness as when she cried before.

Tu Yaoqing buried her head in Xiao Shizhu's broad chest, and when she reached out to hug Xiao Shizhu's neck, she slowly closed her eyes, listened to Xiao Shizhu's powerful heartbeat, and secretly sighed in her heart: "It's so warm." Then there was a serene ...... on his face

Qingqiu Fox Country, in the south of Qingqiu Fox Cave, more than 100 miles away, there is a unique landform, within a radius of 36 miles, all are peculiar shapes, the majestic towering peaks protrude from the flat ground, and the mountains are colorful and colorful.

And in this place, no more, no less, there are exactly seventy-two strange peaks. And the arrangement of these strange peaks also corresponds to the arrangement of the seventy-two stars of the earth on the sky. Therefore, the ghost of the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom manages this thirty-six miles radius and calls it the Seventy-two Mountains of Disha.

These colorful peaks are dotted with countless rings of different sizes overlapping and overlapping. In each circle, purple vines and silky black moss grow in a unique way, which is very distinctive.

Once, there were boring ghosts who carefully counted the circles on these strange peaks, and found that each strange peak was no more and no less, exactly one hundred and eight circles, and I had to admire the magic and ingenuity of the ancient gods of creation.

And in this peculiar landform, on those majestic and strange peaks, there are spiriting flags and the nine-tailed fox military flags of the Qingqiu Fox Country, and the tombstone-style stone fortress arrow tower towers stand above the peaks and cliff edges.

100,000 ghost soldiers of the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom are stationed here, and they are the elite divisions who defend the capital of the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom.

The well-trained fox ghost soldiers, and the terrain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, form a semi-circular solid barrier south of the Qingqiu Fox Cave, the national capital of the Qingqiu Fox Country.

Advance can be attacked, retreated, and defended, so that the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom has not been conquered by his ghost country for thousands of years in the chaotic underworld, and it is also in the Dongying Continent, standing tall.

And this ghost soldier of the Fox Country is also one of the armies mentioned in the peace talks of the Nine Shadow Kingdom that are not under the command of the Nine Shadow Country.

And the ghost soldiers in this army, since a few months ago, are not all fox ghosts. Among the 100,000 troops, 30,000 fox ghosts were transferred to the front line. It was also transferred to an army of 30,000 strong human souls, which was supplemented by it. These ghosts and ghosts are all disciples of the Tu Shan clan, and the leader of them is Tu Gongqi's illegitimate son, Tu Yaoqing's brother Tu Hongqi.

Tu Gongqi is really energetic, he is over a thousand years old and still lights up everywhere in the Qingqiu Fox Country, and illegitimate children are almost everywhere in the country. Most of the illegitimate children, Tu Gongqi had already forgotten everything the moment he put on his pants. Only this Tu Hongqi is one of the illegitimate children he still remembers and recognizes.

is also a ghost whose personality is most like Tu Gongqi.

This Tu Hongqi is not only good at fighting, but also very good at scheming and stratagem, in just a few decades, he became the general of the Qingqiu Fox Country, a ghost official from the second grade. According to the rules of the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom, this ghost can go to the palace with a sword and meet the Qingqiu Fox King.

The ghost is not very old, and he has such a high glory, in addition to the power of his father Tu Gongqi, it is also inseparable from Tu Hongqi's own efforts.

In the past few decades, he has fought everywhere for the Qingqiu Fox King, and every time he goes out, he will definitely be able to attack and defend, and he has fought a beautiful battle that is amazing, and it has also expanded the territory of the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom.

And such a general with outstanding achievements should have stood on the front line to fight when the Qingqiu Fox Country was being attacked on all sides. But before Tu Gongqi went to the Nine Shadows Kingdom, he transferred Tu Hongqi back and stationed him in the seventy-two peaks of the earth.

This unconventional move still puzzles Tu Hongqi, who is eager to make new contributions on the battlefield.

Today's weather is clear, the sky is cloudless, and the warm cloudy light is sprinkled on the seventy-two peaks of the Qingqiu Fox Country, making the atmosphere even more colorful.

After training his soldiers, Tu Hongqi walked back to his military yamen.

After passing the second gate, I saw that a lot of souls had gathered in the lobby of the military mansion. On closer inspection, it is not difficult to find that they are all the children of his clan, and all of them are the souls of the Tushan clan.

And most of them are wearing armor and long swords at their waists, and they are the officers under Tu Hongqi.

"Why have they all come to me. After showing a smile on Tu Hongqi's white face, he looked around at everyone and walked slowly into the lobby. At the same time, he took off the golden helmet from his head, handed it to the guard beside him, and walked to the chair in the depths of the lobby and sat down.

"General, don't you know?" The souls of the Tushan clan, who were still in the lobby before, gathered in twos and threes, all of a sudden surrounded them. With a panicked look on his face, he shouted nonsense: "Patriarch Tu Gongqi was beheaded by the Nine Shadows Kingdom. ”。

It seems that the fox king also agreed to this. ”

"Even our country has condemned the patriarch for undermining the peace between the two countries."

These gossip and noisy voices made Tu Hongqi fall into chaos for a while, but after hearing that his father Tu Gongqi was beheaded, there was another buzzing sound in his head, and he suddenly fell into a blank.

Tu Hongqi, who was shocked, suddenly stunned on the chair in the noise, and couldn't recover for a while.

Tu Hongqi was surprised, and his heart was full of questions: Didn't his father, Tu Gongqi, go to the Nine Shadows Kingdom with a peace mission? Isn't his sister Tu Yaoqing the fox concubine of the Nine Shadows King? Why did the Nine Shadows Kingdom behead Tu Gongqi, who was Xiao Shizhu's father-in-law?

Tu Hongqi, who has always been calm, lost his mind for a while.

"What's going on?" After a while, Tu Hongqi, who had only come to his senses, suddenly showed anger on his face, and his angry eyes widened and stared at the ghosts who were still gossiping in front of him, frightening those ghosts to shut up in a hurry.

The lobby was filled with murderous aura, and it instantly fell into a deathly silence.

"I'll leave it to me. A middle-aged soul with three long whiskers on his chin, took a step forward, signaled that he didn't have to talk much, and said to Tu Hongqi alone: "It is said that the Nine Shadows Kingdom found out the personal maid Yanchen beside Miss Tu Yaoqing, and it was sent by the patriarch. And Yanchen has already carried out the secret mission assigned by the patriarch, and when he assassinated Xiao Fuling, the lord of Yuque, he was arrested by the Nine Shadows Kingdom. ”。

As he spoke, the middle-aged man's face with shallow wrinkles kept showing anger. Whenever he talked about the Nine Shadows Kingdom, he couldn't help but pause and gritted his teeth fiercely.

It seems that even now, these souls of the Tu Shan clan still don't feel that their patriarch was at fault first, and they caused the killing disaster. On the contrary, he felt that the Nine Shadows Kingdom was unreasonable and indiscriminately killed innocents.

That's why the middle-aged man's soul will talk faster and faster, and his face will become angrier and angrier.

"The beast still knows that his father-in-law and father-in-law cannot be killed. This Xiao Shizhu is worthy of being the ninth rank of the dog prison beast, and when he is so rebellious, he does it in a grand manner!" After a while, the middle-aged man's soul scolded angrily.

This time, the souls who had only calmed down for a while became agitated again, and even Tu Hongqi lost his previous calmness, and the green tendons on his forehead and neck burst out.

Angry, Tu Hongqi already held a grudge against Xiao Shizhu.

Although he is an illegitimate child, he has always been grateful to Tu Gongqi for keeping him by his side and giving him an official and military position. In addition, Tu Gongqi is his father again, and the hatred of killing his father is not shared, Tu Hongqi doesn't care if Tu Gongqi is at fault first, what he is thinking about now is how to find Jiuyouguo and Xiao Shizhu to take revenge.

"We are gathered here to elect you as the patriarch. Just when Tu Hongqi was furious, the middle-aged soul said again: "If you can avenge the patriarch of Tu Gongqi, then we will support you." ”。
