[988] Night walking

At night, dark clouds gathered and rose over Dushuo Mountain, tightly covering the stars and the lunar moon that had only been revealed for a while.

For a while, the wind was cold and scattered.

After falling from the sky and blowing into the mountains, the mist dissipates from time to time, and the changes are endless.

Even if the wind blew for a long time, the fog that shrouded Dushuo Mountain and the rivers and seas under the mountain still could not disperse;

The courtyard of the military government on the top of the mountain was also shrouded in mist.

Only on the brightly lit main hall, there is not the slightest mist drifting into it.

As soon as King Yama finished speaking, the aftermath was still echoing around the main hall, and the head of the ghost doctor frowned more and more tightly. The look of embarrassment on his face is also increasing.

"What's wrong?" King Yama saw the change in the ghost doctor's expression at a glance, and immediately asked, "Is there any difficulty?"

The ghost doctor pondered for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and finally opened his mouth and replied: "This medicine to purify the source is only enough for the use of Dushuo Mountain, and other places nearby also need to be purified, and please ask the big marshal to urge the Yuque Palace." Let the palace urgently mobilize medicine to ensure that all places can tide over the difficulties and resolve the plague. ”。

"Can I promise you this, do you have any other requirements?" said King Yama paused his teacup and took a sip of tea.

My heart finally settled down with the tea.

Recently, the plague has been so fierce that the king of Yama has a headache and has been unable to sleep for a long time.

Now that the antidote is available and the source of the disease has been identified, the plague can be completely eradicated as soon as the medicine and ghost doctor who support this place arrive.

Fortunately, it is the rainy season again, and the torrential rain continues, and other countries do not dare to rashly use sword soldiers, and the king of Yama will not be anxious.

You can free up your hands and deal with the plague first.

"Please report to the Yuque Palace, and allow us to announce the antidote formula to all cities in the country, especially in the Dongyingzhou area, so that the ghost doctors in the city can dispense the medicine by themselves. Immediately afterwards, the ghost doctor stood up again, bowed with both hands, and hurriedly said, "In this way, even if the plague spreads and spreads to other places, it can be curbed in time with medicine." ”。

The king of Yama did not rush to promise, but pondered.

Announcing the secret recipe is no small matter. In the face of the plague, the secret ingredient is the killer formula. This is not something that King Yama himself can decide.

Although the ghost doctor asked him to report to the Yuque Palace and wait for a reply, the Yuque Palace might not agree.

Let the ghost doctor be in charge, and after waiting for a long time, the king of Yama said to the ghost doctor in charge: "I will report, but the result will be determined by the Yuque Palace." ”。

"No. The ghost doctor replied and sat down.

"The generals of the armies listened to the order. King Yama shouted, picked up the military order token in his hand, and held it high.

All the generals in front of him stood up from their chairs, faced King Yama, and listened to the commander's order.

"The more this time, the more the armies must not be negligent. The king of Yama raised the gilded tiger head card in his hand, looked around at the general, and ordered: "Strictly guard the border, and do not let the enemy take advantage of the weakness." In the military camps at the pass gates, we must pay close attention to the training of the troops, and we must not relax in the slightest. ”。

King Yama knew that once the rainy season passed, there would be war, and either the enemy country would strike first or the Nine Shadows country would strike first.

Xiao Shizhu has always been on the side of the couch, and he can't allow others to snore. What's more, in the agreement with the Northern Yin Dynasty, Dongying Continent has been ceded to the Nine Shadows Kingdom.

There can only be one ghost country in this continent on the Qinglong Sea, and that is the Nine Ghost Country.

There was not much time left for the king of Yama to prepare, he had to hurry up and prepare for the battle, and the rainy season was just a matter of blinking, so he had to hurry.

After all the generals received the order, they saluted and received the order, and replied to the king of Yama in a loud voice: "The last general will do his best and go all out. ”。

"Okay, with all the generals working together, Ben Shuai will be relieved. King Yama, who slowly lowered his military order, let the generals retreat, but left his lieutenant general, the ghost doctor and the ghost doctor in charge.

Above the main hall, it was a little deserted all of a sudden. It doesn't seem so crowded anymore, and it's a lot more spacious.

"Several of them are masters in ghost doctors, and healing is really your specialty. Once again, I ask you to hurry up and prepare the antidote. All the medicines can be dispensed to you first. King Yama took out the military order document that had already been written, got up and handed it to the ghost doctor's director: "Take this handwritten order from me, you can mobilize and store medicine in various parts of the continent." If you can prepare some more antidotes, give priority to the sergeants and ghosts. ”。

"What about the ghost people?" asked again, having already taken over the command of the commander.

In the past few days, although there has not been a large-scale plague outbreak in the ghost town under the mountain, it has to be prevented.

"In less than ten days, the medicine provided for the aid will create an antidote for the ghost people. King Yama, who also knew the stakes, naturally didn't think much about it, and hurriedly promised him: "Purifying the source of the disease is still the most important thing, don't delay." ”。

"Also, it would be nice to be able to get carrion from the water from which the disease came out. After a pause, King Yama lowered his voice and said to the ghost doctors around him: "This is the real evidence that the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom plotted to kill our military and civilians. ”。

It is true that he only said half of what he said, but he did not say it, which may be used as evidence and reason for attacking the Qingqiu Fox Country.

"It's been a long time since the carrion was put into the water, so I can only promise the big man and do my best. "The ghost doctor is in charge, and he still accepted the matter.

But there is little hope, after all, the carrion is thrown into the river, the river is rushing, and the carrion is leaving the plague, but there is not necessarily any evidence left, and the ghost doctor naturally does not dare to agree.

"Just do your best. King Yama didn't force it, but continued to lower his voice and said to the ghost doctors: "If you find it, keep it, use the ghost doctor's medical skills to keep it, and when you want to use it, Ben Shuai will naturally let you take it out." ”......

It was late at night, and the dark clouds over the city were enveloped in all directions, covering the bright moon and blocking the starlight.

Between heaven and earth, there were gusts of yin wind that made a strange roar, sweeping inside and outside the city, walking through the streets and alleys, and sweeping the mountains and forests and rivers outside the city.

After a while, the clouds thickened, and a curtain of rain rose in the darkness of the night.

The wet rain and mist mixed with the rich yin qi rose up to form a mist that flew around the land shrouded in the rain curtain.

The sound of wind and rain made this supposed quiet night lively and noisy.

The rain carried down with the wind, soaking the mud and floor tiles inside and outside the city. The tiled roofs and grass roofs of plants and buildings are damp.

The night market in the city, which was originally bustling and lively, also fell silent as the rain and fog landed.

That day, the front yard of the Chenghuang Yamen in the city was also quiet. Only the sound of raindrops falling silently echoed in the darkness.

The houses were immersed in darkness, except for the lanterns hanging in the corridor outside the doors, swaying slightly from side to side in the wind, bringing up a flickering shadow.

In the backyard, it was brightly lit.

Most of the houses are lit with everlasting lamps or centipede beads.

Soft light or turquoise ghostfire shines through the backyard of the houses, breaking through the darkness and illuminating the surroundings.

In the backhall of the backyard, the ghost fire shook in the ever-bright lamp, and the centipede beads on the beams and pillars all emitted light to illuminate the backhall.

The local city god paced back and forth in this back hall.

The sound of anxious footsteps resounded softly under the eerie glow of the ghostfire and the soft light of the centipede beads.

The doors and windows were closed, and in the huge back hall, only the ghost of Chenghuang Tanyun who was anxious was written on his face, and his steps became more and more urgent.

Time slowed down in his eyes.

Tanuki Tianyun's anxiety was not for anything else, but because a few hours had passed, and the killers he had secretly arranged, those former powerful sons of the party, had not yet had a chance to attack Liuyun.

Xiao Shizhu and Qing Lan, as well as the accompanying forbidden soldiers, almost followed closely except for Liuyun to go to the toilet and relieve his hands.

Even if Ruyun went to the latrine, the black monkey was secretly protecting Ruyun.

Several times, those powerful children wanted to take advantage of this. But when he got closer, he found the fierce aura on the black monkey again, and had to retreat again.

But if the clouds are not removed for a day, the raccoon Tianyun will not be at ease for a day.

What's more, Liuyun has been studying in the city for a year or two, and has also lived in the city for a year or two, and he has heard a little about what Tanuki Tianyun and the dead curator did.

Even if there are many facts, Liuyun must not know in detail enough, but Tanuki Tianyun is sure that Xiao Shizhu, who claims to be the son of Su, is the secret envoy of the Nine Shadows Kingdom of the secret sect.

Once Xiao Shizhu knows something from Liuyun, if Xiao Shizhu is more serious, he will pull out the radish and bring out the mud.

In this case, Tanuki Tianyun guessed correctly.

Xiao Shizhu had already secretly instructed the entourage to send a message to Xia Xing, who was in charge of criminal affairs and supervision, impeachment and advice, to ask her to secretly investigate Tanyun Tianyun immediately.

Today, Xiao Shizhu can see it clearly, not only the civet Tianyun, the master and the curator's official protection, but also the wrench in the hand of the raccoon Tianyun, Xiao Shizhu can also see it clearly.

The material is light blue tourmaline and other precious and smooth jade, with a single color and no variegation. Crystal clear, smooth and bright. It is carved with dragon buttons, auspicious clouds, Ganoderma lucidum and other ornaments, which are the carving workers and materials used in the city.

Xiao Shizhu knew the prices of products from all walks of life in the Netherworld, and he could see at a glance that the wrench was worth at least 300,000 taels of silver.

This small Tiantong City Chenghuang, according to the rank, is only about 1,000 taels a year, to buy such a good thing, Tanuki Tianyun has to save 25 years without eating or drinking.

But it hasn't even been twenty years since the founding of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, and as for before, Tanuki Tianyun was not a big official, just a deputy general of Danshui City.

At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Xiao Shizhu asked the ghost officials to report it, and counted and registered the family property of officials at all levels in various places, knowing that Tanuki Tianyun did not have so much money.

Xiao Shizhu naturally saw at a glance that this raccoon Tianyun was also secretly greedy for money.

The Nine Shadows Kingdom is just a rare occurrence of corrupt officials, and it is not for nothing. Isn't Lu Wu also greedy?

It can be regarded as the bad luck of Tanuki Tianyun, but he met Xiao Shizhu and secretly came here, and he deserved to be killed. Once it is verified, Tanuki Tianyun's family property will flow into Xiao Shizhu's treasury, or the military treasury where military expenses are stored.

is very different from the Qingqiu Fox King, Xiao Shizhu also likes to 'rob' money from powerful ministers. The only difference with the Qingqiu Fox King is that Xiao Shizhu only robs the money of genuine, corrupt officials.

Therefore, knowing this matter well, and expecting that Xiao Shizhu was the Tanuki Tianyun of the secret envoy, even if he hadn't guessed that Su Gongzi was Xiao Shizhu, he was very afraid.

The Nine Shadows Country is not like other ghost countries, there is no unwritten rule that corrupt officials hang themselves and their property is gone.

Tanuki Tianyun was afraid that the secret envoy would find out about his dirty affairs, and he would be empty of people and money.

But Xiao Shizhu only had contact with the curator, the curator's son, and Liuyun. Both Tanuki Tianyun and his judge naively believed that as long as they killed these three ghosts, they would be able to die without proof.

Now it's almost like Liuyun.

Liuyun didn't die for a moment, and Tanuki Tianyun became more and more anxious.

And the wind and rain outside the house are getting more and more urgent. The chill between heaven and earth is getting stronger and stronger.

The raccoon Tianyun in the house was sweating hotly. Covering his body, the front of the official robe embroidered with imps and mist patterns was also soaked with sweat.

The door was pushed open, and the wind outside the house poured in.

Tanuki Tianyun stopped, looked along the side of the gate, and saw that it was his judge who pushed the door in, and Tanuki Tianyun immediately asked urgently: "How is it?

"Su Gongzi has left Tiantong City. His carriage, his attendants, came out of the academy and went out of the city at night. The judge nodded and said, frowning and looking a little helpless.

"Then you go and get rid of Liuyun. Tanuki Tianyun was anxious, and urged the judge urgently.

The judge's helpless expression on his face became heavier, and he was a little more anxious, and hurriedly said: "I can't do it, Su Gongzi took Liuyun all the way out of the city." ”。

"What?" The muscles in the corners of Tanuki Tianyun's eyes twitched involuntarily, and he never dreamed that Su Gongzi would take Liuyun away, and he didn't know why?

There was a thunderclap outside the house, falling from the sky and shaking the heavens and the earth.

The wind and rain were more intense, and the endless raindrops kept hitting the ground.

The dazzling lightning rose again, and after a flash in the air, there was another thunder between heaven and earth. Darkness came again, and the overwhelming darkness hid the wind and rain under the night, and only the sound was heard, but not seen.

The panicked Chenghuang paced back and forth in the house again. The judge on the other side was also at a loss.

If Su Gongzi leaves with Liuyun, they will have no chance to kill people. And Liuyun may take the opportunity to tell Su Gongzi everything he saw.

There was another thunder in the air, and the sound shook the sky, and the city god civet Tianyun suddenly stopped pacing, and narrowed his eyes at the moment when the lightning cut through the sky and illuminated the heavens and the earth.

"Isn't it just an opportunity for them to choose to walk on a rainy night?"

"The rain will wash away all traces, and the night and the wind and rain will also be our best cover. Not only did Tanuki Tianyun's eyes become cold, but his tone of voice also became cold.

The slightest trace of ghost qi turned into cold air, overflowing from the corners of his mouth and nostrils, as he spit out the words.

The judge was a little frightened when he heard it, and his hair stood on end.

He rarely saw that under the shadow of Tanuki Tianyun's face, there were so many yin owls and fierce moments.

But under the horror, he immediately thought of what Tanuki Tianyun wanted him to do, so he raised his hand tremblingly, and gently swiped his palm on his neck, and the horror in his eyes did not decrease but increased.

The other party's Tanuki Tianyun bowed slightly, indicating that the judge was right.

At the same time, the judge was even more frightened, his eyes were full of panic, he didn't care about anything, and said bluntly to Tanuki Tianyun: "My lord, that Su Gongzi may be a secret envoy." ”。

The lamp stretched the shadow of the judge, and in the incoming wind, the judge trembled slightly, and the horror in his heart was even greater.
