Before dawn, in the darkest hour, the sea is also out of sight, and the whole sea is darkened by the night before dawn.

In the darkness, the rolling waves of the sea also became turbulent, and the night breeze roared over the sea.

The merchant ship, in the end, slowly sank into the sea when it was completely covered in flames.

A good big ship, but in a matter of moments, it turned into countless blackened broken boards and broken logs, and floated on the sea under the dark night.

Most of the ship's hull had long since turned to ashes and slowly fell into the depths of the sea.

As for the ghosts on board, before the merchant ship was completely consumed by the flames, it had been wiped out by a dense rain of arrows falling from the sky.

Most of them were human souls, and in the raging flames and billowing smoke on the deck, they quickly turned into blood-colored powder and drifted away in the wind.

The others, the few corpses of demon spirits, did not escape the licking of the flames, and finally became charred black like the extra planks on the hull.

They had the same fate as the merchant ships, and in the end they fell victims. Their voyage has also become a permanently sealed secret.

The night wind blows the rolling of the waves, and the smell of blood in the night wind is still in the place where the boat is held. On the jumping waves, there is still a choking smoke of gunpowder.

The sea near the wreck site suddenly swelled like boiling water. With the sound of falling into the water, sea boys and water ghosts riding red shrimp emerged from the deep seabed one by one.

They were drenched, and after they surfaced on the surface, they were still dripping with water.

While the naval cavalry of the Northern Yin Dynasty were silently staring at the broken boards and broken wood floating on the sea in the night, a bright light suddenly broke through the darkness in the north of the shipwreck site. In the sparkling light that illuminated the sea, two large ships sailed out. All of them are huge treasure ships with a length of 44 feet and a width of 18 feet.

The planks are also made of unsinkable wood.

In the vast underworld, there are only two ghost kingdoms that can create such a majestic and huge warship now, that is, the Nine Ghost Kingdoms and the Northern Yin Dynasty.

And the two big ships are both from the north, and they are obviously also warships of the Northern Yin Dynasty.

The two warships, which were brightly lit up in the deep night, rode the wind and waves, and soon came to the place where the merchant ship sank.

The blue waves are rippling, but the big ship is very stable. The night wind blew onto the deck of the high warship, blowing the noise on the deck in the thick dark night. The sailors and warriors on the deck were very busy, and under the lights on the deck, which were as bright as day, they all cast a large net into the sea beside the ship.

The sunken merchant ship was made of unsinkable wood except for the oars and rudders. Even in the midst of the raging flames, many of them were broken and broken wood, but they still floated on the surface of the sea without falling.

What sank into the deep sea was nothing more than its keel and the cargo on board, as well as some of the ship's daily necessities and the ship's planks that had been consumed by the flames.

The treacherous and cunning Wheel King had already considered the firearms of the Northern Yin Dynasty, even if he used the Ghost Fire Pill, it was impossible to completely burn a ship on the vast sea; therefore, if the Northern Yin Dynasty wanted to let this merchant ship disappear quietly and disappear forever, it was necessary to send ghost soldiers to salvage the broken wooden boards and broken wood that were scattered on the sea, swaying from side to side with the waves of the sea, and some items that could float on the ship, and then disperse and destroy them.

We must not allow any clues and evidence to remain in this rough sea.

Only by salvaging all the things that cannot be sunk can there be no trace left on the vast sea.

The ghost soldiers on the two warships began to pull up the large nets they had spilled, and the watery fishing nets were even heavier than before they were cast, making the soldiers on the deck feel heavy.

In the fishing net that was slowly pulled up, there was not a single sea fish or shrimp, only the unsinkable wooden broken boards and broken wood that had been soaked by the sea water after the merchant ship sank. There were also some household items and crew robes on that merchant ship.

The busy ghost soldiers put the fishing nets on the deck, hurriedly and quickly checked out the contents one by one, and then cast the nets into the sea again.

The sea cavalry on the sea under the ship also caught the back basket that had been lowered from the ship, and after carrying it on their backs, they swam between the two large ships, picking up small pieces of wood and broken boards that would be exposed from the nets of the fishing nets.

This action of the Northern Yin Dynasty is really detailed.

The darkness before dawn faded silently over time. The edge of the sky was glowing with a soft blue-gray light, and the sea was no longer out of sight.

The day is almost dawn, and the salvage work of the Beiyin Dynasty has all ended.

In the sea where the merchant ship sank, no trace was left behind. The merchant ship disappeared forever in the vast sea, and with what it carried on the ship, it would never reach the ghost and god military industry of the Nine Shadows Kingdom.

After handing over the baskets carrying broken pieces of wood to the sailors on board, the naval cavalry of the Northern Yin Dynasty dived into the calm seabed and disappeared under the cover of the darkness before the dawn came.

The two high-ranking warships of the Northern Yin Dynasty also extinguished all the lights on the deck, and after merging with the darkness, they set sail and rode the wind and waves in the direction of the way they came.

But after a few moments, calm returned to the wreck. Only the endless sea breeze tirelessly churns the waters facing the sea.

A little light rises above the sea level in the west, breaking through the darkness.

The warships of the Northern Yin Dynasty, which had long been gone, were gone. Together with the attacking naval cavalry and air cavalry, they fled away from this sea area before the cloudy day rose.

The dawn swept away the darkness left by the night. On the endless expanse of the sea, the rolling waves glowed with golden light in the morning light. The sea breeze is no longer strong, but it is still cold.

Not far from the place where the shipwreck was, the sea water on the sea surface was boiling, and a boat of the Nine Shadows Kingdom suddenly arched up, in a semicircle, like rising from the ground in the sea like a hill, in the territorial sea of the Northern Yin Dynasty.

In the cloudy light of the rising sun, the sea water dripping from the boat crackled on the surrounding sea. The crystal clear and delicate water droplets splashed, refracted by the rising cloudy light, shimmering with flowing brilliance, like a sleeping pearl on the bottom of the sea suddenly rising to the surface, beautiful.

One by one, the vents in the cabins are opened to draw fresh air into the cabins. At the same time, the boat did not stop, and continued to travel south.

The ghost and god military products stolen from the Northern Yin Dynasty are all on this wave-reducing boat, and there is also a craftsman from the Nine Shadows Kingdom Weapons Supervision who went to verify the authenticity of military technology.

Xiao Shizhu thought about it, but he still felt that with just a ecstasy array, he couldn't fool the old ghost of Emperor Xudu. So he hurriedly mobilized three boats and quietly headed for Liutianzhou according to three different routes.

Let those goods and craftsmen, as well as the Xuanjiao disciples who participated in this operation, quietly board these boats again. also relied on the advantage that the hull of the Wave Boat could resist the pressure on the bottom of the sea, and skillfully dived into the deep sea that the Beiyin Chaohai cavalry could not dive, and left the Six Heavens Continent to the south.

Finally, he got his wish and avoided all the secret attacks of the Northern Yin Dynasty.

And the merchant ships that Emperor Xudu secretly eliminated carried nothing more than imitations and fake drawings of the military industry. And the Emperor Xudu and the Northern Yin Dynasty were still secretly smug, thinking that Xiao Shizhu's conspiracy had really been shattered. As everyone knows, Xiao Shizhu once again used the reality he was proficient in to put the Northern Yin Dynasty and the Emperor Xudu together.......

Xiao Shizhu rushed back to the palace overnight, which not only caught many ghost ministers and ghost generals of the Nine Shadows Kingdom off guard, but also broke the rumor that he and the ghost mother might not wake up.

Fortunately, the news has not fully spread and has little impact. And knowing this, the high-ranking officials of the Nine Hidden Kingdoms, led by Lu Wu and Jiang Ziwen, are all ghosts who are loyal to Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother. There was no great chaos in the DPRK and China, and the capital and various counties were also unstable for the people.

At this time, seeing Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother appearing intact on the Tianquan Palace, in front of the hundred officials, Lu Wu and other ghost officials, who had been worried all night, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It was noon after the court meeting, and after the ghost ministers dispersed, Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother moved to Tianyang Palace for dinner.

"During my absence from the Netherworld, all the major and minor affairs in the country will be handed over to you to take care of the ruling, and Xiao Fuling will continue to recruit talents to reserve ghost talents for the country. The whole country is preparing for war, and there must be no slackening in the slightest. Xiao Shizhu said to the ghost mother, and strode towards the side hall of Tianyang Palace.

"Secret order Lin Cong to return to the capital quickly and take care of all matters related to intelligence. Immediately afterwards, he ordered Qing Lan who was following him again and again: "Ying Zhao commands the soldiers and horses on the borders of all parts of the north, and makes all preparations to resist foreign enemies." Zhaoshi Cassia also quickly returned to the capital, and all the affairs of Dongyizhou were handed over to Xuanshui Hu Hui and Yu Rong, as well as Ying Lingxing and Datou. The secret order Lu Wu continued to be the chief of the hundred officials, so as to stabilize the people's hearts and let all industries develop steadily, and the garrisons outside the border defense should rest with the people, lightly pay off the meager endowments, and gradually restore the economic decline brought about by the wars over the years. At the same time, I also ordered that I would go to Shuoyue Island, Sanxing Island, Heilong Island, and other places to inspect border military affairs on the same day. ”。

Qing Lan promised again and again, keeping these orders in mind.

When the words landed, Xiao Shizhu had already entered the side hall with the ghost mother.

On the jade table set up in the middle of the side hall, a plate carved with wavy red glass is placed. The decoration is exquisite, and the utensils are all luxurious, but they are all left over from the era of the ancient gods to the period of the Gonggong Kingdom, as well as the old objects moved from the Ghost Mother Palace. It was filled with ordinary food, not delicate and luxurious delicacies, and even brown rice.

In order to save money, Xiao Shizhu made the Nine Mirrors, and the things he ate and wore were all saved.

"I'm going to bring Tai Feng again, and I'm going to see him. Xiao Shizhu, who was sitting down behind the jade and warm table, raised his eyes and glanced at Qinglan before adding.

Xiao Shizhu picked up the chopsticks on the pillow, poked the chopsticks on the table, and then made the chopsticks as if they were together, and stopped talking. That Qinglan answered again and turned to leave.

In the huge side hall, only Xiao Shizhu and Chen Ruo were left.

On both sides of the table, the two trees standing on the ground, one foot and two feet high, and on the red coral of the beacon fire tree, one stem and three branches, in the silver grape flower and bird pattern silver incense balls hanging down, the lit Zhenling incense green smoke curled, which made the spirits of the ghosts in the hall invigorate.

The ghost mother took a few bites of food, chewed it slowly, and then asked her husband thoughtfully: "You have already thought about the entourage after ordering it again and again, right?"

"Hmm. Xiao Shizhu, who was chewing the food, responded vaguely.

There is also green smoke in the incense ball, and then it overflows continuously, diffusing between the jade pillars on the main hall, and the clouds and smoke are thick.

"Among them is Taifeng. The ghost mother, who knew that her husband was like a wife, turned her head to look at her husband and said something in a word, and then asked curiously in the blink of an eye: "Are you going to use Taifeng?"
