[990] Party struggle

The moment when the dazzling lightning tore through the darkness. The killers around the carriage stepped forward with their knives in hand, no longer hesitating, and pounced on the carriage without hesitation.

Darkness soon enveloped him, and the thunder in the air was deafening.

The forbidden soldiers beside Xiao Shizhu had already drawn their knives out of their sheaths, and the black monkey had also stretched out their claws, revealing their bright fangs, ready to fight at any time.

Xiao Shizhu was very calm, and he stood in place with his hands in his hands and did not move a single step. His eyes and face were unusually calm, without showing the slightest fear or nervousness.

The sound of breaking the air in the darkness landed with the wind and rain, and in the wind, there was the thud of guns fired in the wind. Bloodshed ensued, and screams rang out.

"The last general Tanuki should be late to escort him, please forgive the lord. Above Xiao Shizhu's head, there was a loud shout from Tanuki Tianying.

Immediately after that, there was another sound of breaking the air, and Tanuki Tianying descended from the sky with a sword and a yin wind, and landed steadily on the back of the beast soul pulling the cart.

The screaming all around stopped, and the gunfire disappeared, but there was a lot more humming and chirping. At the same time, torches were lit, and for a time the carriage was as bright as day.

The wilderness underworld, which was originally unmanned on a rainy night, suddenly became lively.

The heavily armed Nine Shadows Air Cavalry and Flying Troops emerged from the darkness, holding down and subduing most of the killers. There are also many killers, but they have not fought back, and they have been killed by the soldiers of the Nine Shadows Army who fell from the sky.

There are also many killers who fell in a pool of blood, foaming at the mouth and changing their bodies and convulsed.

In front of the well-trained Nine Shadow Army, no matter how vicious and vicious these killers were, they were vulnerable.

And since Xiao Shizhu entered Danshui County, the highest local military commander, Tanuki Tianying, has been high in the sky, and the immortal chariot suspended in the clouds has secretly protected Xiao Shizhu's safety.

And the fungus man on Xiancha also keeps in touch with the fungus man in the car at any time.

It was not until Xiao Shizhu left Danshui County that the military governor of the next ghost county would replace Tanuki Tianying and secretly send troops to protect Xiao Shizhu.

All these arrangements have already been discussed between Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother; Xiao Shizhu will never leave the palace alone, he can calculate clearly. Everywhere he went, Xiao Shizhu's fungus people would secretly contact the ghost mother, and then the ghost mother would let the fungus people give orders from the Yuque Palace, and let the local soldiers secretly protect it.

This is also for the sake of the weapons superintendent, which was developed and produced, and was specially used for the invisible use of Xiancha, and tested it.

See if you can effectively hide the traces of the immortal chacha, killing two birds with one stone.

Judging from the current situation, this spell invented by the ancient demon god is still very useful. The fairy chariot that the raccoon dog should ride has always been well hidden in the clouds.

So much so that if the killer does not appear, there will be no ghosts other than Xiao Shizhu and the contact fungus man to know its existence.

And the killers suddenly appeared, and they didn't know whether they were alive or dead, which also showed that they couldn't find the existence of Xiancha in the sky.

The forbidden soldiers who drove for Xiao Shizhu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Since there is a large army with him, Xiao Shizhu's safety can definitely be guaranteed, and he will not have to fight a fierce battle, which is worth breathing a sigh of relief and relaxing a little.

Xiao Shizhu glanced around, and one of the sergeants raised his knife and was about to behead a killer, and hurriedly shouted, "Keep people under the knife." ”。

The sergeant hurriedly answered and withdrew the waist knife that had been pressed against the killer's neck.

With the sword in its sheath, the sergeant removed the gun from his back.

The pitch-black mouth with a strong ** smell hit the other party's head.

As long as this killer dares to move, the sergeant will shoot without hesitation, and immediately let the killer's blood splash his life.

"Tanuki Tianying, you came just in time, and you are late, for which I want to take credit to you. Xiao Shizhu looked at Tanuki Tianying and said to him slowly: "Now that you step aside, it's time for me to play." ”。

Tanuki thanked Xiao Shizhu and was ordered to retreat aside.

Xiao Shizhu learned too much about the tricks today, and he decided to play these killers as well, so under the storm, he swept over each killer with a cold gaze, and said coldly: "I'm very angry today, very angry, so now I'm going to play with you killers who don't know what to do." From now on, I'll count to five, and when the last one is finished, whoever is the last to confess is dead! If no one answers, kill half of them, and continue the game. ”。

Xiao Shizhu didn't spit out a word, and a thick ghost breath came out of his mouth. The murderous aura on his body is also getting heavier and heavier, overflowing and agitating in the wind and rain at night.

The invisible sense of depression spread with the murderous aura, pressing those killers out of breath for a while, and a few killers who were a little less courageous opened their eyes, and the slightly protruding eyeballs began to redden, accompanied by a panicked look, and blood surged from the corners of their eyes.

"Five!" Xiao Shizhu shouted, and blurted out a sonorous and powerful voice, and those killers were all terrified.

"Four!" was just a pause, and Xiao Shizhu shouted loudly again.

The rain within a foot of him was trembling by the loud sound, and swayed left and right in the wind.

The killers were terrified, terrified of rebirth.

But they remained silent, and none of them had the courage to speak first.

"Three!" Xiao Shizhu roared again.

Several killers listened to this, and their chapped lips opened under the black cloth covering their faces, but they still didn't have the courage to speak.

"Two!" Xiao Shizhu, who said this in a long voice, looked around, but no one spoke, and finally showed a trace of impatience in his eyes.

"One!" After a slight pause, Xiao Shizhu saw that the killers gritted their teeth and continued to be silent, his face became indifferent, and he slowly raised his right hand, and raised his slightly curved index finger to draw a horizontal line on the top of his head under the lamplight.

The soldier immediately gave the order and pulled the trigger. Panic shouts and screams rang out in the rain under the sound of gunfire. In the misery, the smell of blood became strong again.

Half of the killers who survived, in the blink of an eye, were all in a pool of blood. Those who survived saw that their eyes were full of fear, and their hearts were full of fear.

At the same time, there was a clear distinction between light and darkness on his face under the lights, so Xiao Shizhu, who was covered with shadows, squinted slightly, sneered, and said indifferently: "The game continues." ”。

He didn't care if he could get any information from these killers. Of course, it's better to ask, but it doesn't matter if you can't.

Now he wants deterrence, even if this kind of deterrence comes from not looking good, this kind of game of torturing the opponent in the posture of a winner, he will do it without hesitation.

Xiao Shizhu is very clear, speaking noble in the face of the enemy, talking about despicable and despicable things does not allow him to live well, sometimes despicable and shameless, cold-blooded and indifferent is also necessary.

"It's better to be alone than to be happy. It's just that this time Xiao Shizhu didn't rush to count, but turned his head to look at Tanuki Tianying on the side, and said slowly: "Okay, Tanuki Tianying, this time you can count." ”。

Tanuki Tianying also had a calm face, and after hearing this, he nodded and thanked Xiao Shizhu, then he came down, looked around at the killers who were still alive, and shouted loudly: "Five!"

The bodies of several human soul killers who fell in a pool of blood slowly turned into powder under the rain and fog and on the blood-red mud.

The shouts landed, and the killers who were still alive were already trembling and looking at each other.

Xiao Shizhu's words and ruthlessness have made them completely frightened, even if they gritted their teeth, they didn't have the courage to resist before.

"Four!" Tanuki Tianying paused and shouted again.

At this moment, the killers were so frightened that they all rushed to shout: "It's the city god civet Tianyun, he hired us." ”。

As soon as these words came out, Tanuki Tianying, who was suddenly stunned in their gossip, twitched the muscles at the corners of his eyes.

Tanuki Tianyun is his relative, so this answer is enough to shock Tanuki Tianying, and he was dumbfounded and speechless for a while.

He was shocked that this relative of his had just done such a bold thing, which made Tanuki Tianying not only sincerely frightened, but also caught off guard.

"Hehe!" Xiao Shizhu pursed his lips and sneered.

He had already guessed that most of them were killers sent by Tanuki Tianyun, and the purpose should be Liuyun in the car, but Xiao Shizhu was instead a rabbit when he was hugging the grass, an additional target.

At the same time, the last killer to speak, after a flash of cold light under the rainy night, the ghost head fell to the ground, and the blood mist splashed.

The rules of the game are still being enforced, and the killer who answers last will definitely die.

"What does your employer want you to do?" Xiao Shizhu asked again.

"He, he wants us to kill the kids in the car, and, and you. When the words landed, one of the killers was the first to shout these words, speaking quickly and urgently.

Several other killers didn't win this killer, but they hurriedly echoed, scrambled to nod and said: That's it.

It's just that there is always a first to say and then to say, and the last one was also killed after the mouth was spoken, and a gunshot rang out.

"Last question, who are you?" Xiao Shizhu was already panicked to the extreme when he saw the killers, and his eyes were full of horror and fear.

So, it was decided to just ask one more question and not ask again.

Xiao Shizhu always has to stay alive.

"In the past, we were all strong and powerful near Danshui County. The surviving killer scrambled to answer again......

On Xiao Shizhu's side, when he was having fun, the big boat that Changqin boarded, also escorted by the sailor, sailed into the waters of the Huangquan Sea and sailed towards the southwest at night.

Changqin sat in his cabin, playing with a jade piece of azure jade. This is a palm-sized jade, which is carved from light blue azure jade in the underworld, and the whole body is transparent, thin and transparent, even and dignified.

The whole body is engraved with swirls. The inner circle of the circular swirl is decorated with a rotating arc along the edge, a small circle in the middle, like a water bulge, and five semicircular curves next to the circle, like a water vortex stirring.

Meticulously crafted and very exquisite.

This piece of jade is also one of the treasures given to Changqin by Hu Qingping, the prince of the Fox Kingdom.

The fox country made such a generous move, it was nothing more than asking Changqin to say a few more kind words in front of Xiao Shizhu, so as to confuse the Nine Shadows Kingdom.

However, good words are impossible, and the gift Changqin can be accepted. He already knew that the real purpose of the Fox Kingdom was to start a war with the Nine Shadows Kingdom.

The Fox Kingdom should strive to monopolize Dongyingzhou. Together with the Nine Shadows Kingdom and the Northern Yin Dynasty, they have reached a three-point world.

When on the border, Changqin can smell the ** smell in the air, and it can be seen everywhere, and the army of the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom is constantly moving.

War may be on the verge of breaking out, perhaps at the end of the rainy season, or before the rainy season is over, it may already begin.

Therefore, although Changqin couldn't put down the jade bi in his hand, he never put his heart on the side of Qingqiu Fox Country. For all the actions of the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom, he has asked his cronies to secretly send a message back to the Yuque Palace.

I believe that the Yuque Palace will soon make a strategic deployment.

Not long after Changqin was playing with jade under the light of centipede beads, a knock on the door suddenly sounded, interrupting his interest.

So, Changqin put the jade bi back in the box at hand, closed the lid, and said to the hatch, "Come in." ”。

The door opened, and a stocky scribe who had accompanied him strode in, taking them with him.

"My lord, ** received your secret treasure and sent a reward, and the fungus man has recorded it for you here, you can take a look. With this, the scribe who stood beside him handed the letterhead in his hand to the long lyre.

Changqin took it and looked at it, and what was written on it was a commendation order, a kind of verbal commendation, and then copied by the fungus man onto the letterhead.

The main thing is to commend Changqin for completing the task excellently on this trip. Material rewards will be awarded when they return to Yuque City.

"My lord, this time we have a long face. The scribe on the side saw that there were only him and Changqin in this room, so he said triumphantly: "We have a long face, Lu Wu Chunyun and their side, this time there will be no good face again." ”。

This scribe is also a close confidant of Changqin, so he knows everything. And what he is talking about is the party struggle in the Nine Shadows Kingdom.

Since the beginning of this year, most of the officials in the Nine Shadows Kingdom have been divided into two major factions.

Although they all finally Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother, they secretly competed with each other, and they all wanted to behave in front of Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother, and then hold the power in the hands of their own faction.

It is not uncommon to secretly be in the school palace, win over students who are about to graduate, and then place them in various departments.

One faction is the old minister faction, they are led by Lu Wu Chunyun, who are the old ministers of the ghost mother country in the past, and the ghost officials in the area of Danshui County.

The other faction is the Xinchen faction, led by Changqin and Guoshi Yingying, all of whom were generals and officials who later surrendered to the Nine Shadows Kingdom.

The strength of the two rows is equal and can cooperate sincerely, but infighting is also indispensable.

It is said that there is another faction, just like Yingzhao and Xingtian, who are group but not party. It has always been to be social and not to form a private party. Just do what you have to do. Therefore, Xiao Shizhu handed over such an important gateway of Shuoyue Island to Yingzhao.

Hearing this, Changqin smiled faintly, slowly folded the letterhead with the commendation order written on it, and said slowly: "Yes, I heard that at this negotiation table, the lord did not use Lu Wu and Chunyun people, and only sent Jiang Ziwen and Ji Kang, no matter how smooth the negotiation is, it has nothing to do with Lu Wu and them." However, the Tanuki Tianying in their faction robbed the southeast coastal area of the Six Heavens Continent once, and there was not much gain. On the contrary, because the Beiyin Dynasty urgently transferred a Shangqing boy to the southeast to govern Haiphong, he was in a hurry to withdraw. This time, it's our face. ”。

As he spoke, Changqin also looked proud.

This is the purpose of the struggle between the two factions. They can all see clearly, as long as Xiao Shizhu is not mediocre and does not lose his mind by playthings, sooner or later the world will be the Nine Shadows Kingdom.

And that faction has made the most meritorious contributions, and after unifying the ten continents, it will inevitably make more profits.

Therefore, the two factions are fighting each other, but they are also doing their best in the matter of the Nine Shadows Kingdom.
