In the empty aisle of the cabin, it was quiet that even breathing was unusually clear, and the creaking of the ship's planks was particularly harsh. The wall lamps hanging on the wall also swayed slightly with the swaying of the hull, bringing up one after another, flickering and flickering with infinite changes.

At this time, it was late at night, Xiao Lingling and her guards were not in the house, and even the tengu flower she brought was nowhere to be seen, which made Xiao Shizhu and Wu Xiaoshen both startled and a little overwhelmed.

"Uncle Xiao, don't worry. Wu Xiaoshen scratched his ears and cheeks for a while, turned around and wanted to leave: "I'll go and mobilize the sergeants and start looking for the master." ”。

"Come back. Xiao Shizhu, who quickly calmed down, grabbed Wu Xiaoshen and said in a deep voice: "This matter can't be quiet. ”。

After calming down and thinking about it carefully, Xiao Shizhu had already guessed where Xiao Fuling had gone. Based on his understanding of Xiao Fuling, this little ghost must have brought his guards and Xiao Si to the periphery of the enemy camp, ready to wait for Xiao Shizhu to launch an attack.

Thinking of this, Xiao Shizhu hurriedly said to Wu Xiaoshen: "You will command the attack instead of me, everything cannot be changed according to the plan." ”。

He took out a command flag from his bosom, handed it to Wu Xiaoshen, turned his head to the shadows not far away, and said: "Fan Jinhong, you are responsible for helping Wu Xiaoshen command the army; My daughter, I'll get it back myself. ”。

Fan Jinhong had already landed with his words, emerged from the shadows, and nodded his head.

Wu Xiaoshen also held the order flag in his hand, and replied a little nervously: "No!"

Xiao Shizhu slowly closed his eyes, concentrated his breath and began to sense Xiao Poria's breath. Although he can't do Yingying's strong perception now, he has the mystical power in his body, and he can already control it perfectly, and occasionally concentrate on perceiving the surroundings, which may not be as good as Yingying.

The power flowed through his body, washing away every pore on his skin.

After a while, Xiao Shizhu suddenly opened his eyes, and after glancing at the direction of the Ghost Crying Beach, he used the ghost magic skill, and disappeared in a blink of an eye......

Yuque Palace, in the Absolute Fragrance Garden.

The spring breeze blows into the building from the carved flowers on the window, wakes up the building, and many budding flowers bring up a faint but not strong fragrance.

The building is full of vibrant images, but the phoenix with its drooping head on the plane tree trellis has begun to lose its hair, and it has long lost its former brightness, like two fighting cocks with sparse feathers;

Her phoenix will not die, but will only be reborn once every 500 years, and the phoenix after nirvana will be even stronger. And the hair loss at this moment is the precursor to the imminent rebirth of this pair of phoenixes.

After feeding them some water, the ghost mother sat down behind the bookcase and went about her own business.

After being busy for a while, she sighed lightly, put down the pen in her hand, and turned her head to look at the south in a daze, her eyes filled with a little anxiety.

Xiao Fuling has been walking with Xiao Shizhu for more than two months, although the military reports sent mention that they are safe and sound, and they have subdued the ghost of the boat safe and sound, but the ghost mother is somewhat worried.

Especially Xiao Fuling, she is most worried, although this little ghost does not learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but is good at arching and horse riding and shooting, but the little ghost is a little ghost. It's the first time on the battlefield again, and the sword on the battlefield is not long-sighted, so it's hard to predict what will happen and what won't happen.

Just as he was about to get into his mind, a report from Tatsuruo came from outside the door: "Mother of the country, Lord Wuqiu Shou asks to see." ”。

The ghost mother froze and said, "Xuan!"

Immediately, Chen Ruo took Wu Qiu Shou and entered in response.

"I've seen the Mother of the Nation. Wu Qiu Shou stood still in front of her, coughing a whole robe, and after bowing his hand, he saw that there were no ghosts in the building, so he said: "There is a secret letter from the north." ”。

As he spoke, he took out a wax pill the size of a green date from his sleeve, took a step forward and offered it with both hands.

After a winter, Wu Qiushou's face turned even paler, and his cough became more frequent, and the ghost doctor came to treat him several times, but he was pushed away on the grounds that he was busy with official business.

"Wu Qiu Shou, hurry up and see a doctor, you have lost a lot of weight. The ghost mother glanced at Wu Qiu Shou, stretched out her hand to take it while admonishing, and then after crushing the wax pill with her fingers, she took out a rolled-up note from it, slowly unfolded it and looked at it, and couldn't help but suck her mouth, but her face was not frightened.

The note was sent by Lao Li, and the information on it was that the Emperor Xudu had sent Black and White Impermanence, pretending to inspect Yuque City, in order to stabilize Xiao Shizhu, and the newly built new army in the area of Baoqian Pass was already making preparations, waiting for Black and White Impermanence to start attacking Shuoyue Island as soon as it arrived in Yuque.

In addition, there is also information that Emperor Xudu has sent ghosts to infiltrate the Nine Shadows Country, secretly contacting all the powerful relatives who were severely punished by Xiao Shizhu, trying to use these ghosts to create turmoil in the Nine Shadows when his army attacked Shuoyue Island, and sabotage the material routes to Shuoyue Island.

"The minister is out of the way, it will be better to warm up in a few days; Wu Qiu Shou smiled disapprovingly, and bowed again.

Now that the war is coming, how can he have time to see any disease, it is better to hold on first, anyway, he didn't notice any discomfort except for coughing. It's a big deal to eat something cool and reduce the fire, and you will cough less.

Seeing that he didn't listen to persuasion, the ghost mother couldn't say anything, so she had to shake her head gently, her eyes quickly rolled, and she asked in a sharp voice: "How many households are there in Yumin and Zhentou now, where are they distributed?"

"There are 110,000 households in the feather people, and there are more people in the head, and now there are 630,000 households. After thinking about it for a while, Wu Qiu Shou replied, "But over the years, the whole country has implemented a migration system, so the people of the head and the people of Yu have scattered all over the country. Shuoyue Island, Shizhu, Duxi and Yuque Castle, as well as Bifang County, Danshui County, Xiaofeng County, and Zhuzhu County, all have Yu people and Yutou people living there. ”。

"From today onwards, all the supplies that are transported from the inland to Shuoyue Island will be airlifted by these feathered people and the people of the Lord. All ghosts over the age of 15 will participate in the transfer of materials. Faced with Emperor Xudu's attempt to sabotage, the Ghost Mother immediately came up with a way to transport them by air, and then said: "The imperial court pays for them to hire them, and the materials are all escorted by air horses from all over the country in this way, and after arriving in Duxi City, they will be loaded on ships and sent to Shuoyue Island." ”。

After all, among these powerful relatives and friends who have been severely punished, there are no flying demon souls, as long as the materials go to the sky, the conspiracy of the Emperor Xudu will be in vain.

"No. "What a smart human soul Wu Qiu Shou was, he immediately knew that this was the strategy of the ghost mother, in order to ensure the safety of the materials, so he didn't dare to slack off and nodded in response.

As soon as he landed on the ground, there were several muffled snorts and plopping sounds outside the door, and then a ghost suddenly rushed into the door, and rushed straight to the ghost mother like lightning.

Seeing this, the ghost mother narrowed her eyes, staring at the black shadow that had rushed behind Wu Qiushou in a blink of an eye, and saw clearly that the ghost was covered in black clothes and black robes, and his face was covered with a black cloth, revealing only a pair of fierce eyes.

The ghost leaped over the top of Wu Qiu Shou's head, and froze a foot above her, and with a wave of his hands, a hidden weapon burst out of his sleeve, and headed towards the ghost mother, and then the ghost pulled out a three-inch-wide sheep's horn dagger with a frosty blade from under the turban on the back of his head, and pointed it straight at the center of the ghost mother's eyebrows.

"Don't move, he's mine. "The crisis is imminent, Wu Qiu Shou and Chen Ruo are about to escort, the ghost mother scolded, looked directly at those flying secret weapons and sneered, directly raised his right hand and threw the sleeve robe in front of him, blocking all the hidden weapons that were only about two inches away from her face door without missing anything.

Then she unhurriedly flicked her right hand upward, and actually used her arm to block the swift stabbing dagger like a lightning bolt.

Seeing that the dagger was easily blocked by the ghost mother, the assassin snorted coldly, and pressed his wrist down, trying to remove half of the ghost mother's arm with a single sword.

I didn't think about it, but the next second later, I only felt that on the ghost mother's arm, a force like a spurting spring water appeared out of thin air. At the same time, only a soft sound was heard, and the dagger was bounced away by this force, and the assassin's mouth suddenly went numb.

Then I saw the ghost mother's wrist flip, and there was a little blue light in the cuffs between the rotations, like the light of the moon, pouring straight from the sleeves.

"Little ghost, let you see one of the ten major artifacts forged by the ancient gods-the Soul Thirst Umbrella. The ghost mother smiled lightly, her face full of contempt. At the same time, in the right hand, which was empty, there was already an extra paper umbrella emitting a faint blue light, which was held tightly in his hand.

As soon as the words fell, the ghost mother also jumped up, waving the soul-thirsty umbrella in her hand again and again, and attacked the assassin, stabbing and picking down various changes, bringing gusts of wind.

The assassin was shocked, his eyes suddenly showing a little panic, and the dagger in his hand changed a dozen knife styles in a row to block the ever-changing attack of the Soul Thirst Umbrella.

Throughout the building, the shadows of the swords were filled, the blue light was magnificent, criss-crossed, the ghost mother and the assassin came and went, clanging and sparkling.

All kinds of birds in various bird cages screamed in fright, and several gales were like knives, and after rampage in the building, they cut off a lot of flowers and plants. I also cut off a few of the feathers that fell off the birds because of the fluttering of the birds.

Wuqiu Shou and Chen Ruo were dumbfounded, and they were stunned for a while, their lips slightly opened, staring intently at the two ghosts in the air, flashing in the sky with sword flowers and blue light.

After a dozen rounds of fighting between the ghost mother and the assassin, the two ghosts retracted and landed steadily, standing across the bookcase, their clothes still fluttering.

Ben still filled every corner of the building, whistling non-stop, and the gale like a fierce tiger roaring valley suddenly stopped. The whole building suddenly fell silent.

The ghost mother was unharmed, and the assassin was unscathed.

The two ghosts stood against each other quietly, just staring at each other in silence.

In less than a breath, the Assassin frowned, a trace of pain flashed in his eyes, and the face covering his face also bent down slightly, and his hand covered his well-dressed chest.

In the blink of an eye, another three or five drops of blood completely penetrated the black cloth, slowly slipped from the cloth head, and dripped to the ground.

The Assassin appeared to have suffered internal injuries.

"Do you really think that you can fight with me, you can have the upper hand or a tie, a lackey sent by the Emperor Xudu. When the Assassin entered the door, she already knew who the Assassin was, and then she looked the Assassin up and down, then snorted coldly and said bluntly: "You want to assassinate me, don't you just want to make the War of the Nine Shadows Kingdom in the immediate chaos happen? ”。

After finishing speaking, he slowly raised his right hand, and the tip of the paper umbrella in his hand pointed directly at the other party's Adam's apple.

The assassin was shocked again, with an incredible gaze, stunned to look at the ghost mother who seemed to be smiling for a moment, I really couldn't understand when he fell to the bottom, after falling into the ghost mother's move, he secretly weighed it in his heart, and felt that he couldn't fight the other party, so he had to tip his toes and fall back, and fly out upside down with his strength.

Wu Qiu Shou was the first to react and chased him out. I saw that the guards in the courtyard were already lying on the ground, but their bodies did not dissipate, and it seemed that they had only been knocked unconscious by the assassins.

Looking for the assassin's retreat, he saw a dark shadow flying towards the south, dodging between the cornices and corners before disappearing.

At the same time, the guards not far away also rushed over under the leadership of Qing Lan after hearing the sound of fighting in the building;

It wasn't until the ghost mother and Chen Ruo came out of the building unharmed that Qinglan and the guards breathed a sigh of relief.

The minister immediately led his troops to chase after him. Wu Qiu Shou waved his hand, and when he was about to leave with these words, the ghost mother shook her head and said softly: "You don't have to chase her now, you can catch her in a while." ”。

In one sentence, Wu Qiu Shou and Qing Lan both stopped, and they were stunned in unison: "Huh?"

"The murderer is a female ghost, or a female ghost in the palace. The ghost mother said very firmly.
