The night breeze blows, and the trees in the mountains sway their leaves. Xiao Shizhu on the cliff took off his robe without saying a word after finishing speaking, and put it on the ghost mother.

The ghost mother draped the robe on her and Xiao Shizhu's backs, leaned on his shoulder at the same time, and after thinking about it, she said, "But after thinking about it, I think that Qin Tianjian's words this time are not credible. Even if the Qingqiu Fox King himself is digging his own grave, there is nothing to worry about, but it is a good opportunity for you to make a name for yourself again. As long as the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom dares to make the first move, just beat him. ”。

The ghost mother wanted to give Xiao Shizhu some confidence and eliminate his uneasiness, so she paused and said, "You also know this kind of battle, you have to fight." It can not only protect the family and defend the country, but also make a name for itself, killing two birds with one stone. Moreover, this is the opportunity for him Qingqiu Fox King to be confused and take the initiative to give us a chance to rationalize the war, why not? As for Qin Tianjian's words this time, it may not have anything to do with this upcoming war at all. ”。

Having said so much, the ghost mother just wanted to tell her husband that you still don't eat the meat when it is delivered to your mouth, and she is actually worried about whether she will choke to death after eating this mouthful of meat, which is extraordinarily redundant.

Xiao Shizhu listened to it and felt that it made sense. That's what he had planned.

It's just that the words of the Qin Tian Supervisor were still echoing in his mind.

"That Qin Tianjian's words, I still haunt it. Who knows what they are talking about?" Xiao Shizhu frowned, distress flashed in his eyes, and his right hand was raised to grasp the placket of his heart, and said, "I don't understand what I am scratching my heart with a hundred claws." I also asked the star officials, and they couldn't tell what the national fortune was not clear, which made me even more curious. ”。

Speaking of this, Xiao Shizhu raised his head again and looked at the starry sky.

Above the starry sky, there is still a bright sky and bright stars.

Suddenly, Xiao Shizhu, who had been watching the starry sky for a long time, asked the ghost mother again: "Didn't you say that you served by my parents' side back then?

"My parents-in-law can predict part of the past and future, but I haven't seen them stargazing, and they haven't taught me. The ghost mother smiled and said, "But your master, Taishan Mansion Jun is familiar with the way of stargazing, didn't he teach you?"

"No, I don't. Xiao Shizhu thought about it for a moment and said, "Master taught me how to control people's hearts, plot tricks, etc., but he didn't teach me this. ”。

Xiao Shizhu, who had just finished speaking, then said: "I said he would, I want to know that he will let him teach me back then." Now I have to guess here for myself. ”。

He was still obsessed with the words of the star official.

The ghost mother smiled without saying a word, and continued to look up at the starry sky. She has already done what she has to do, and Xiao Shizhu will definitely be able to solve the rest.

The bright galaxy echoes the lights of the camp in the distance on the ground.

In the sky and on the ground, there is a bright and beautiful Milky Way.

The slight mountain breeze, blowing in her face again, the ghost mother suddenly felt refreshed, and also felt relaxed and happy.

In the palace, the nerves are tense every day, and it is rare to have such a relaxing time, and the ghost mother feels comfortable and relaxed.

In a trance, I really want to live in this place and not leave, away from those trivial matters of government and politics, and live a peaceful and comfortable life for a few years.

Xiao Shizhu, who looked at Xiao Shizhu in the distance under the cliff, didn't say a word, just frowned slightly, not knowing what to think again.

It wasn't until a long time later that Xiao Shizhu put away his contemplation, opened his mouth again, and asked slowly: "If after that, I said that this astrological sign is the battle with the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom, and then we win the battle, and win it completely beautifully, is there a chance to completely ban a department like Qin Tianjian?"

The ghost mother was stunned and stayed where she was.

She guessed Xiao Shizhu's uneasiness caused by Qin Tianjian's unclear astrological signs, but she didn't expect Xiao Shizhu to follow this uneasiness and actually have the idea of banning Qin Tianjian's department.

"Do you want to streamline all ministries and departments?" The ghost mother, who was stunned and secretly thought about for a moment in her heart, thought about the real purpose of her husband's move, and blurted out.

"Yes, this kind of department that is useless and always says things that make me inexplicably disturbed, I don't think there is any need for astrological observation at all. There were no other ghosts around, Xiao Shizhu nodded without hesitation and concealment, and said bluntly: "Qin Tianjian's weather prediction can still be retained, but there is no need for a department like the astrological shadows. ”。

The ghost mother continued not to speak, but was silent, and there was only the sound of the wind coming and going on the top of the cliff.

The current ministries and divisions of the Nine Shadows Kingdom not only inherited the administrative framework of the Northern Yin Dynasty, but also many of them were formulated by Lu Wu after he became the heavenly official of the Nine Shadows Kingdom.

Qin Tianjian is one of the many Yin Division departments that Lu Wu once formulated.

The ghost mother thought about it carefully, Xiao Shizhu's subtle operation did not seem to be just to streamline the various Yin Division and ghost departments, but also a signal, a signal to cut off Lu Wu's wings.

The fight between the two brothers, of course, will not be very obvious. After all, Xiao Shizhu would never completely tear his face when Lu Wu was not guilty.

But it is exactly like this, but it is even more dangerous, and the two ghosts may secretly clash, which is not easy to deal with than an open gun.

Not only that, but the Nine Shadows Kingdom is still surrounded by strong enemies on all sides, Xiao Shizhu must ensure absolute internal stability, and he needs to rely on Lu Wu's ability.

This also allowed Lu Wu to gain powerful power and power above 10,000 people under one person in the Nine Shadows Kingdom.

And even if Xiao Shizhu wants to cut off Lu Wu and weaken his power, he will have to boil the frog in warm water. The ghost mother thought of this after a while, and she could see that Xiao Shizhu's seemingly improvised strategy had actually been carefully considered in just a few moments.

Taking a Qin Tianjian who can operate smoothly and rationally as a starting point for cutting off the wings of Lu Wu's faction is not only easy and reasonable, but also not easy for Lu Wu to be alert, let alone let Xiao Shizhu and Lu Wu have any gaps.

The ghost mother also thought of it, which made Xiao Shizhu suddenly have the heart to slowly cut off Lu Wu's forces, perhaps because of Lu Wu's recent behavior of pressing step by step and asking Xiao Shizhu to immediately establish a reserve.

Xiao Shizhu can endure all humiliation, but the only thing he can't endure is that others force and coerce him.

Lu Wu invisibly, relying on his grace, unscrupulously touched Xiao Shizhu's scales.

"Now that you've decided. After pondering for a long time, the ghost mother didn't say much else, and said bluntly: "Then go for it, I also think that the astrological department of Qin Tianjian is dispensable." And streamlining the various yin divisions and ghost offices and departments can make the ghosts not waste too much. ”。

The ghost mother chose to stand on her husband's side as always, not because the woman sang with her husband, but because she also felt that this move would be beneficial and harmless.

It's just that the ghost mother thought of these things, but not all of them were broken, and the real purpose behind this was tacitly hidden in her and Xiao Shizhu's respective hearts......

Far away from the hunting ground, in the Yuque Palace of Yuque City, the lights are bright, and the inner and outer courtyards are all after nightfall, fading away from the busyness of the day, ushering in tranquility and peace.

Among the ghosts of the Heavenly Palace, there was no longer the excitement and busyness of the day, and it was quiet.

Only the few officials on duty at night are still working hard in the yamen, but they only do things in their own offices.

The courtyard in the yamen has long been empty, only the hanging lanterns and standing stone lamps remain, quietly staying in the night breeze in the yamen.

Lu Wu hadn't left the palace yet, but sat alone in the main hall of this ghost, casually looking at the agreement in his hand.

Today, in one day, he and Fox Shidou talked about four cooperation agreements between the two countries.

Among them, they are all agreements on the joint construction of infrastructure, including the dredging of rivers and the reconstruction of water storage reservoirs.

In the Netherworld, the Nine Shadows Kingdom secretly inherited the skills and techniques of the ancient gods in construction, as well as most of the construction gods and ghosts. With continuous improvement and continuous innovation, today's Nine Shadows Kingdom has become a ghost country with the most advanced engineering technology in the Netherworld.

Even the Northern Yin Dynasty, which had developed for tens of thousands of years, was beyond the reach of the most powerful craftsmen and workshops in Guobei.

The Qingqiu Fox Kingdom can also see this clearly, and in drafting the agreement, it also wants to get the assistance of the Nine Shadows Kingdom in this regard as much as possible to improve its national strength.

The Qingqiu Fox Kingdom thought very well, and thought that the Nine Shadows Kingdom would arrange for the ghost talents in this area to be transported to the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom as soon as possible.

When the time comes, the two countries will go to war, and they will detain these craftsmen with superb skills, and let these ghosts serve the development of the Qingqiu Fox Country.

However, the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom may not have seen that these agreements that have been decided, or agreements that have not yet been negotiated, are just a piece of waste paper in the eyes of the high-level leaders of the Nine Shadows Kingdom and Lu Wu.

The Nine Shadows Kingdom will neither implement the agreement nor assist the Qingqiu Fox Country.

The reason for the decision of the Nine Shadows Kingdom is very simple, because the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom is secretly an enemy of the Nine Shadows Kingdom.

The high-level leaders of the Nine Shadows Kingdom can see this clearly, and the small actions of the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom have nothing to hide in front of them, and Lu Wu is no exception.

Lu Wu looked at the agreement in his hand casually, his eyes showing disdain and disdain.

There was only him in the lobby, and Lu Wu naturally did not hide his mood at this moment.

In his opinion, the Qingqiu Fox Country is a cockroach. I just dare to wait for an opportunity to move in a dark corner and steal a little food.

If something happens, they will hide again.

From the bottom of his heart, Lu Wuda looked down on the Qingqiu Fox Country, and he also looked down on these hypocritical agreements of the Qingqiu Fox Country that hollowed out their minds and sought small profits without great righteousness.

"Lord Tianguan is really doing his best, I don't know if the lord will pay you overtime?"

Just when Lu Wu was still immersed in his emotions, a familiar and loud voice came from outside the gate opposite him.

Hearing this, Lu Wu put away his emotions, put down the agreement in his hand, raised his head in a voice, and looked forward.

A gust of wind came to Lu Wu's eyes, and what caught Lu Wu's eyes was a familiar voice, striding towards him.

The ghost horse has a human face, with tiger stripes and bird wings on his back, and every step he takes, there is a yin wind around his strong hooves.

The ghost came to be Yingzhao, and Lu Wu on the opposite side also stood up excitedly, with a kind smile on his face.

Before Lu Wu bypassed the book case in front of him, Ying Zhao had already taken three steps and made two steps, came to him, raised his hand and patted Lu Wu's shoulder heavily, and said happily and excitedly: "Third child, how are you doing lately?"

"Good, good. Lu Wu was so excited that his voice trembled slightly, and he looked up and down at the Ying Zhao on the other side.

They hadn't seen each other for more than a year, because of the war on Shuoyue Island and the need to recover after the war, Ying Zhao had to sit in the Shuoyue Island area, and he hadn't had time to come to Yuque City for more than a year.

This made Lu Wu and Ying Zhao, two brothers of the opposite sex, excited now, holding each other's hands, holding them tightly, and reluctant to let go.

It was a long time before they sat side by side in the row of chairs on the right in front of the bookcase.

Lu Wu summoned the officials, and after asking the officials to serve tea, he chatted with Ying Zhao: "Sister-in-law is okay, Ying Lingyue's eldest niece is okay?"

"It's all right, it's all right. Ying Zhao bent up on all fours, sat on the wide chair, and smiled: "Are you okay in Yuque City?"

Lu Wu nodded and said, "It's also good, except for being a little busy, everything else is fine." ”。

By this time, the officials had already turned back and served hot tea.

After Lu Wu sent the official down, he picked up the teacup, saluted Lu Wu, blew the hot air rising from his cup, and asked, "Why did you suddenly come to Yuque City?"

Over there, Yingzhao, who had already taken a sip of hot tea, chewed the tea leaves in his mouth, and said, "There are things on Shuoyue Island that have been completed, and I have to report to the eldest brother in person." I didn't think that he was not in the palace. The guards of the inner palace told me that the eldest brother of the lord went out of the city, and I was fine for the time being, and went to your house, and the porter told me that you were still in the palace, so I came to play with you. ”。

The two ghosts continued to chat while drinking tea.

Above the lobby, laughter and laughter came out from time to time, breaking the tranquility of the heavenly palace ghosts under the night.

Lu Wu and Ying Zhao talked very happily, after all, they hadn't seen each other for a long time, and the two ghosts were brothers and friends who had a deep friendship, and the more they talked, they didn't feel bored.

After a long time, Lu Wu slowly put away his smile amid laughter.

He approached Yingzhao slightly, lowered his voice and asked, "Have you received the letter I wrote to you?"

Ying Zhao didn't know which one he was talking about, so he replied without thinking about it: "I should have received it, even during the war, and after the war." ”。

"I'm talking about the letter that let the eldest brother, let the lord save the office. Lu Wu was in a hurry when he heard this, so he simply stopped detouring and asked straight to the point.

When Ying Zhao heard this, he gradually put away his smile, nodded slowly, and replied simply: "Received." ”。

In the lobby, where there was laughter and laughter before, the atmosphere has changed and become a little solemn.

"Then you won't write back to me. Lu Wu put down the teacup in his hand, and said, "Do you support me or not, you should also reply." ”。

"I gave you back, and before I could send it out, I was ordered to do something else. Ying Zhao also put down the teacup, stared ahead, and stopped talking.

Lu Wu was still a little reluctant, and said: "The prince is the foundation of the country." Big brother, this issue is related to the country's foundation, what is your attitude? Do you support me?"

Ying Zhao didn't know how to answer for a while, so he was silent.

Seeing this, Lu Wu on the side was even more anxious and anxious, and said hurriedly: "Yingzhao, it's not me Lu Wu who wants to be nosy." But you also know that this prince has always been able to only appoint men and girls as princes, and the world will definitely be in chaos. The lord had no son in the past, but he could use the lord of Poria as an excuse to prevaricate the past. But now, he has a son. Even if Xiao Fulei was not born to the mother of the country, and did not belong to the son-in-law but was born as a concubine, can he prepare first and cultivate it in advance? If the mother of the country has another son-in-law, it can be re-established. ”。

Lu Wu said a lot of things without thinking about it, and in order to package his ambitions, he also said it very noblely. didn't notice at all, Ying Zhao's face had become serious.

After he finished speaking, he stared at Ying Zhao with expectant eyes for a moment, and Ying Zhao slowly spoke, no longer wanting to say and stopped, and said in a sonorous and powerful voice: "Lu Wu, I originally wanted to persuade you not to get involved in this matter in the letter, but since you mention this matter in front of me now, then I will advise you in person now, it is beneficial for you not to mix this matter." If you insist on continuing to mix, you will be digging your own grave. ”。

After a pause, he turned his head and looked at Lu Wu, who was a little dazed and puzzled, and his facial features appeared, and he spoke again, and said word by word: "If you are obsessed with this matter, there will definitely be no good end." As a brother, I want you to stop there. ”。

"Not really. Lu Wu's heart jumped, and after the muscles at the corners of his eyes twitched, he said, "You and my buddy, talk about something, you won't curse me, right?"
