The yin wind at night should be even stronger, especially the night wind on the top of Luo Yu Mountain, blowing straight on the eaves and corners of the Heavenly Temple in the North Yin Dynasty, hanging gilded copper bells swaying left and right and constantly raising high, tinkling continuously.
The candles in the main hall are flickering, and only the fluorescent light emitted by the centipede beads embedded in the golden pillar has never moved in the yin wind.
When Emperor Xudu slowly opened his eyes, there was a trace of incredible gaze under his eyes that flashed.
"yes, that's where the weirdness lies. Obviously, this Dongyi Continent has been occupied by the Nine Shadows Country, shamelessly. But these funds do still come from there, and this is the result found by the money bank. At this time, the Wheel King nodded and spoke.
It's just that he is still kneeling on the ground, his knees hurt when he knees, and after finishing speaking, the reincarnation king also lowered his head slightly, and gasped between grins. The strange feeling of tingling and itching on his knees rose and slowly crawled towards his waist, making the King of Rotation very uncomfortable.
"Is there a possibility that this fund comes from the Nine Shadows Kingdom?" Emperor Xudu, who had been pondering for a long time, suddenly narrowed his eyes into a slit, and when he raised his eyes to look outside the main hall, there was also a cold glint in his eyes. After a pause, Emperor Xudu said what the Thunder Wheel King thought, but did not say: "The Nine Shadows Kingdom is bribing our officials and ghosts with money, and planting a large number of internal lines into our yamen and army?"
When the words landed, the fists in the wide sleeves of the Emperor of Xudu were clenched, allowing the fingertips to sink deep into the flesh of the palm, and the faint pain rising from the palm of the hand soon flowed all over the body.
"It is because of this suspicion that the minister did not dare to conceal it and told His Majesty the truth. The yin wind swirling in the hall was stronger and stronger, and the robes encouraged the reincarnation king, who was hunting, nodded heavily, endured the numbness on his knees, and said bitterly to the Emperor Xudu: "The tricks of the Yin damage of the Nine Shadows Kingdom are endless, Your Majesty must not guard against it." ”。
Don't look at the righteous words that the Reincarnation King is saying now, it seems that he is the most loyal and loyal minister of the Northern Yin Dynasty, but in fact, the reason why this kind of thing has entered the sight of his Reincarnation King is entirely because he is not the one who has benefited from it.
What kind of good ghost shop, what kind of fertile land, and those quiet ghost houses with a large area, none of them are recorded in the name of his reincarnation king.
Although he and the ghost officials and generals who accepted bribes, they were all colleagues who were officials in the same dynasty, and even ministers in the same palace. But the King of Wheel just couldn't see him, but he didn't.
This made him angry, and under the banner of being good for the Beiyin Dynasty, he directly stabbed this matter in front of the Emperor Xudu.
Of course, the King of Rotation did not dare to conceal or add fuel to the fire, and the funds used for bribery did come from the money houses in the ghost country that no longer existed in Dongyi Continent. It is possible that this is really a small action made by the Nine Shadows Kingdom in private, with the intention of quietly inserting the inner ghost into the Beiyin Dynasty.
But the King of Rotation doesn't care about that. He recognized that others had but he did not have this, and he must have those officials who took bribes to suffer some losses.
It's just that his selfish desires really made Emperor Xudu feel that his back was shining.
"The list of bribes, the list of what the hell and what positions were placed after taking bribes. Emperor Xudu, who was stunned for a moment, resolutely stretched out his hand to the reincarnation king.
Emperor Xudu understood that the reincarnation king, the king of Hades, either did not do it or did everything in detail is the characteristic of the reincarnation king. Since he has said this, he must be ready.
The Wheel King didn't think much about it, and after reaching into his sleeve and fumbling for a while, he took out a thick notebook and offered it with both hands.
Emperor Xudu stared at the official document that was a little thicker than many of the usual transcripts, and after the muscles in the corners of his eyes twitched violently, he picked up the notebook and flipped through it.
The paper that I brought up while flipping through it rattled and echoed in the wind. Emperor Xudu pulled the folded notebook in front of him, and the black and white words on the notebook suddenly appeared in front of him.
I don't know if I don't see it, and even the Emperor Xudu was startled at a glance. In this notebook, which is densely filled with names, positions, and what ghosts have been arranged, and what positions have been entered into the yamen, there are more than 300 officials who have taken bribes.
More than half of the officials are still ghost officials and ghost generals who hold important positions in the Beiyin Dynasty. Emperor Xudu even saw the name of the general on duty in the dormitory in the Six Heavens Divine Ghost Palace on the list.
As for the ghosts who were assigned to the yamen of various departments, there were also five or six hundred of them recorded in the recital.
Some of the ghosts were still arranged in important positions in the Northern Yin Dynasty. And among the important military towns in the Six Heavens Continent, there are also important positions that have been assigned to some nameless ghost people.
Emperor Xudu was stunned, but also angry, and when he clenched the ten fingers of his hands hard, and kneaded the two ends of the recital, the cold air on his back was even stronger, and the hairs on his back were all standing upside down.
If those ghosts who obtained important positions through bribery were all sent by the Nine Shadows Kingdom, it means that if there is anything going on in the Northern Yin Dynasty, the Nine Shadows Kingdom can also know it at the first time.
Even where Emperor Xudu slept every day and night, and which palace maid in the Six Heavens Divine Ghost Palace he was looking for, Xiao Shizhu could make it clear.
The premise is that Xiao Shizhu can come back alive from the Yellow Spring.
However, Emperor Xudu was afraid because of this, and the fear in his heart arose spontaneously, and as time went by, it did not decrease but increased. He was afraid that Xiao Shizhu would really come back alive, and he was also afraid that the ghosts on this list who bribed to get important positions were also the inner line of the Nine Shadows Kingdom that was placed in the Northern Yin Dynasty.
He would not allow, would not allow such a thing to happen. Even if Xiao Shizhu can't come back, the inside matter is rather wrong than let go.
Thinking of this, Emperor Xudu had a look of astonishment on his face, and was replaced by a murderous aura. He smashed the somewhat unformed notebook in his hand on the body of the Reincarnation King, and coldly ordered: "I instruct you to secretly find out the motives of these bribes, and find out whether the bribe-taking ghosts and officials will have two hearts. Once they find out the slightest sign of rebellion, no matter how big or small their official position, no matter their merits and contributions, they will be killed!" ......
Yellow Springs Middle Earth.
Five or six hundred miles south of the Nine Springs Valley, several majestic mountain ranges stand tall on the earth. The peak is shrouded in clouds and mist all day long, the majestic and magnificent silver waterfall in the mountain is falling, the strange flowers and plants, the pine and cypress are all over the mountain.
The bamboo trees are towering, and although the lush hillsides have evergreen scenery in all seasons, they are rarely visited.
In the past, this mountain was undulating, among the peaks and mountains, there were only ditches and valleys deep between the dangerous mountains, towering ancient trees and waterfalls and hidden springs, as well as various beast souls living in the mountains. Even the Xudu army was reluctant to come to this mountain range, let alone build their grain routes and passes into this mountain range.
There is no other reason than the overlapping peaks and forests in the mist-shrouded mountains, and the valleys are criss-crossed. Not to mention the complex terrain, the towering ancient trees also cover the sky and the sun. It doesn't take until night for the silence of the forest to be very dark.
And under the grass and trees in the forest, there are many poisonous insects and poisons behind the vines.
The ghost soldiers of Xudu believed that the forest was not only easy to be ambushed by the enemy, but also easy to die under the mouths of poisonous insects and poisons, so they never set foot in it.
In recent days, the mountain forest has become lively. A large number of ghost soldiers entered the mountains and forests in groups, turning around in the forest, turning over every stone and taking a closer look at every piece of grass. The caves in the mountains will never be spared, no matter how deep they are, no matter how many forks in the road, the ghost soldiers of the capital will light torches and go in to have a look. Seems to be searching for something?
The ghost soldiers all over the mountains and fields were so shocked that the birds and beasts in the forest scattered in a hurry. A rich ghostly aura rose slowly in the forest, like billowing black smoke covering the sky and the sun.
About four or five days ago, there were ghost soldiers in the vicinity of Xudu who saw Xiao Shizhu leading the ghost soldiers of Huangquan into the mountains and forests. And the reason why I recognize Xiao Shizhu is that the robe on Xiao Shizhu's body is extremely conspicuous.
There is no silkworm in the yellow spring, and the robe on his body is very conspicuous. Moreover, Xiao Shizhu has frequently launched attacks recently, and he has taken the lead in every attack and attack. In addition, he is too brave and ruthless with his mystical power, and he will kill every time he kills the enemy, and he will never give up until he is red.
In this way, the ghost soldiers unconsciously developed a habit - thousands of troops and horses avoided the robes. As a result, the robe on Xiao Shizhu's body is also very eye-catching.
Therefore, when the news came that he had taken the Huangquan ghost soldiers into this mountain forest, the eight kings immediately mobilized a large number of troops to surround the vast forest, and began to search for the traces of Xiao Shizhu and the Huangquan ghost soldiers inch by inch.
The ghost soldiers searched the mountains for several days, but they did not find Xiao Shizhu and Huangquan ghost soldiers. But there are clues that Xiao Shizhu took the ghost soldiers of Huangquan and went deeper into the jungle and mountains.
So the search did not stop, and the ghost soldiers searched deep into the mountains with clues.
"I don't know, what's crazy up there?" A ghost soldier suddenly felt that this endless search was very boring, so he simply threw the spear in his hand, sat on the ground and complained: "I have been looking in this place for a few days, but I can't find anything except the vast forest." ”。
After that, this drunken ghost soldier had anger on his face, and he picked up the wine jug on his waist, pulled out the lid and drank leisurely.
The other ghost soldiers around him were also discouraged by this, and sat on the ground one after another, taking out the wine they had brought with them, and drinking themselves.
Their boss, a burly Chiho, came over waving a whip in his hand, swearing and swearing, "What are you doing?
As soon as he spoke, he raised the whip in his hand and was about to whip the soldier who had taken the lead in resting without permission.
When the whip was raised and slashed over his head, the angry eyes of the ghost soldier Qianhu suddenly saw a strange ghost standing proudly on the hillside in the distance in front of him, on a solid rock among the towering giant trees covered with upside-down vines.
This ghost body is like a jade tree, with long eyebrows like willows on both sides of the tall nose bridge on the jade face, and a pair of bright eyes like stars under the eyebrows. Even in the dimness under the canopy of the sun all day long, you can still clearly see that this ghost eyebrow is full of domineering spirit that looks at the world.
Moreover, the robe on this ghost's body blown by the mountain wind was a dark and shiny robe.
The Qianhu of the ghost soldiers of the drunken capital was suddenly stunned, and the whip raised stopped on the top of his head.
And the ghost he was looking at was Xiao Shizhu. At this time, he was staring at this Qianhu who had raised his whip with a smile, and his eyes were filled with interest.
As if expecting it, this thousand households waved the whip down.
"You fight, you have the ability to fight. The ghost soldiers sitting on the ground didn't see Xiao Shizhu, and when they saw that Qianhu stopped, he actually had the courage to fight, and scolded unforgivingly: "If you can't kill me, I will never search." His grandmother's, whoever wants to do this job will do it!".
"Son of God. Qianhu, who was stunned, stared at Xiao Shizhu, who was motionless, and muttered.
"What?" the triumphant ghost soldier had a look of suspicion on his face. At the same time, Chinohe had already whipped his whip and pointed forward, shouting, "The Son of God is there!"
