"Are you sure?" Xiao Shizhu asked again, a burst of joy in his heart, he finally found a breakthrough.

But as soon as the words fell, someone knocked on the door outside the store, Ying Zhao hurriedly got up and said with a smile: "It must be Lu Wu and them." After that, go and open the gate.

Sure enough, outside the door were Lu Wu Tuqi and Qin Yuan. As soon as they saw that it was a heroic move, they laughed and asked, "The door is opened so fast, you haven't slept with your shadow?" and then laughed together.

"Don't fool around. After Ying Zhao scolded, he turned sideways and said, "Look who's coming." ”。

Lu Wu and their curious probes looked at it, and they saw Xiao Shizhu sitting in the house, they were stunned, and then ran over to surround each other with joy, asking questions.

Xiao Shizhu had no choice, so he had to put down the matter of the token first, and had a good relationship with them, and by the way, after telling Lu Wu about the recent events, he continued to ask Ying Zhao: "Then the person who holds this token will only be the secret envoy of the ghost king?

"Nine times out of ten, after all, the secret envoy token will not be passed on. Before Ying Zhao could speak, Lu Wu glanced at the token, and then preemptively said: "Back then, the ghost king and the ghost mother were both divine servants of the Emperor Xudu, and the relationship was not bad. This ghost king has been to the human world, but he was on the side of the evil god during the war. After the war, he returned to the underworld, and Emperor Xudu made him a prince. ”。

"In that case, there should be no gap between him and the ghost mother, how could he send an assassin into the palace to assassinate the ghost mother?" Xiao Shizhu pondered for a moment after hearing this, and said, "This is not in line with common sense. ”。

"Maybe it's because the ghost mother regretted her marriage hundreds of years ago. After thinking about it for a while, Lu Wu said slowly: "This was about six hundred years ago, and this matter was in a uproar at that time, and almost the entire underworld knew about it, and the ghost king felt that it made him very faceless. The past is picturesque, slowly unfolding with Lu Wu's narration.

They sat around Xiao Shizhu, Lu Wu coughed twice, cleared his throat, and said, "Actually, it's not about who is right and who is wrong in this matter. ”。

"Originally, the ghost king and the ghost mother had a thousand-year-old friendship, and in the words of the human soul, they were two childhood sweethearts who had no guesses. Although they all became princes and kings, they were too busy to communicate with each other, but they still maintained correspondence. He took the tea that Ying'er had just brewed, thanked his sister-in-law, and said slowly to Xiao Shizhu: "Over time, their relationship has increased instead of decreasing. So six hundred years ago, when the envoy of the ghost king came to the ghost mother country with a dowry, she was already moved, and promised the ghost king to get engaged, and the two countries were merged into one country on an auspicious day, she was the mother of the country, and the ghost king was the lord of the country. ”。

But not long after the engagement, the ghost mother inexplicably regretted her marriage. Ordinary people who regret their marriages will make a fuss in the local area, not to mention the repentance of the lord of the princely state of the dominant side? Therefore, this matter soon spread throughout the ten continents of the underworld, and the fame also made the ghost king lose face for a while. Lu Wu blew the hot air in the cup, and said: "After the people of the underworld learned about it, they were all surprised, and they all guessed the reason why the ghost mother regretted her marriage after tea and dinner. The first theory is that the ghost mother dislikes the ghost king's dowry and is less, so she regrets it. The second theory is that the ghost mother suddenly dislikes the ghost king for being ugly, you don't know, big brother, little brother, I have seen the ghost king. It looked so sorry, with a bare upper body, red hair and fangs, and a hideous and vicious face, so the second guess was more likely than the first. He smiled.

"Hey, hey. When Xiao Shizhu heard this, he suddenly smiled and said, "On the whole, this ghost mother is still a gold worshipper and a golden member of the Appearance Association." ”。

"Appearance Association?" Ying Zhao Lu Wu and they looked at him with wide eyes, and asked in unison.

"It means that you only look at your appearance and don't pay attention to your character. Xiao Shizhu took a sip of tea and explained to them. When everyone heard this, they nodded thoughtfully after an oh sound.

"Not really. At this time, the shadow, who had been silent all this time, suddenly became emboldened, and said softly: "Lord Ghost Mother is not disgusted with the appearance of the ghost king, nor does she dislike the lack of dowry, but ......."

Before she finished speaking, she was scolded in a deep voice by Ying Zhao, who was already gloomy: "Our brother has your in conversation, get out of the way!", interrupted.

"Brother Yingzhao, be gentle with your wife!" Xiao Shizhu smacked his lips, and hurriedly stopped him who was about to leave, and after a little red shadow with a look of grievance, he said: "Brother and sister, is the eldest brother compensating you, my brother is upright, obviously the body of a horse has the temper of a donkey, he didn't mean to scold you, don't mind." ”。

After speaking, he beckoned to Ying'er again, and said with a slight smile: "Come, tell the eldest brother, why did your future sister-in-law regret her marriage back then?

Seeing that Ying'er was rolling up the corners of his clothes but didn't dare to come over, Xiao Shizhu added: "It's okay, you come over and talk freely; if Yingzhao wants to dare to scold you again, I'll help you scold her!" After finishing speaking, he glared at Ying Zhao and scolded angrily: "You are kind to her, after all, you have slept well, you are not good to her, you want to be a scumbag?"

Lu Wu and the others laughed out loud when they heard the words and said a long "huh" to Yingzhao.

Although Xiao Shizhu is often despicable and shameless, he is very righteous towards Yingzhao, so Yingzhao is also obedient to him. Although he was scolded by Xiao Shizhu at this time, he also felt that Xiao Shizhu was right, so naturally he didn't reply, but he was ashamed, and said in a loud voice: "Okay, okay, big brother has to teach him a lesson." ”。

"That's right, the little girl has lived in the ghost mother country for a thousand years, and she still knows a little about the ghost mother's repentance of marriage back then. After Ying Er knelt down next to Ying Zhao, she said: "Back then, it was the ghost mother who found out that the ghost king wanted to plot something for her in the name of marriage, but in fact, the ghost king had no feelings for her, just to get that thing." Since then, the ghost mother no longer believes in love, nor does she believe in men. Therefore, in today's ghost mother country, the reason why all officials above the fifth grade are female officials is this. When the ghost king learned about it, he was so angry that he smoked, and he once launched a war of aggression against the ghost mother country, but he was beaten back by Lord Chunyun's troops. ”。

"Something?" Xiao Shizhu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked curiously: "What is it?"

"I don't know. Shadow shook her head slightly, bit her lower lip, and said, "But there are two rumors, one is that the ghost king is interested in the stainless steel formula. The second is that he has a crush on the soul-thirsty umbrella in the hands of the ghost mother. ”。

"Soul Addict Umbrella?" Xiao Shizhu, who felt that the name was a little familiar, muttered to himself, and suddenly remembered that it was the small paper umbrella that the ghost mother inserted into Ming Yichen's mouth last night, and then asked: "It's just a broken umbrella, is the ghost king poor and crazy?"

Ying Zhao and Lu Wu were slightly stunned when they heard this, and then laughed heartily, and shouted in their mouths: "Big brother, you are really good at laughing, why is the umbrella broken? That umbrella is about to be sold, you can buy two or three continents in the underworld." ”。

"So valuable?" Xiao Shizhu was stunned when he heard this, took a sharp breath of cold air, and shouted: "What is it made of, can it be so valuable?" But a greedy gaze flashed in his eyes.

"That's one of the top ten artifacts of the underworld. After a while, Ying Zhao couldn't help but laugh, and said to Xiao Shizhu very proudly: "You can poke the soul and stab the soul and destroy all souls, including the Emperor Xudu, as long as this umbrella is inserted into the mouth or pierced by the body, it will be death!"

"Awesome my brother!" Xiao Shizhu said stunned. This unexpected answer surprised him again.

"Yes, it is the umbrella bone made by the ancient god Pangu from the branches of the first locust tree in the underworld, and the handle made of the first willow tree in the underworld, of course it is amazing. After Lu Wu replied disapprerovantly, he said thoughtfully: "I think the steel formula is unlikely, maybe it's really for this umbrella." ”。

"Hmm. Outside of Xiao Shizhu, the other demon spirits all bowed their heads slightly, agreeing with Lu Wu's reasoning.

"In that case, the purpose of the assassins was not to kill the ghost mother, but to steal the umbrella. Xiao Shizhu, who had a faint look of seriousness between his eyebrows, stood up, paced back and forth around them a few times, and then lowered his head and pondered: "Or maybe he is not an assassin at all; ”。

"Quite possibly. Lu Wu then echoed the demon soul here, he has a brain, and his analytical ability is no less than Xiao Shizhu, so he also thought of the reasoning that Xiao Shizhu said, and after a little thought, he said: "If you let the ghost mother know that he is sent by the ghost king, the ghost mother will definitely ask the teacher to ask for guilt." At that time, the ghost king will be charged with assassinating the lord of the country, and war between the two countries is inevitable. With the strength of the ghost kingdom, it is less than two-thirds of the ghost mother country, and it is definitely not possible to fight hard. ”。

"It's good to have a direction, I have to go back to the palace quickly to find out who is from the 600-year-old palace, and has something to do with the ghost kingdom. Xiao Shizhu said urgently as he walked towards the door: "In addition, I expect that they must have a pick-up point outside the palace, which is similar to your bar and wine shop." In the past few days, I have found out the situation of their pick-up shop, and after finding out who the boss behind the scenes is, I asked Qin Yuan to fly into the palace Tengu Garden to send me a letter. ”。

After speaking, he opened the door and strode outside.

"Second brother, have you seen it?" After Xiao Shizhu left, Lu Wu touched Yingzhao with his elbow and said, "Big brother has a little more seriousness in his eyes this time, which is exactly the same as when he decided where to go that day at the calf pass, and even more than that. ”。

"Big brother is very serious about what he does. Ying Zhao replied stupidly.

"No, I'm afraid that the eldest brother is really in love with the ghost mother, so he is so concerned about the other party's affairs. Lu Wu narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "We will have a sister-in-law soon!"

When I got out of the bar, it was already dark. Xiao Shizhu rushed in the direction of the Ghost Mother Palace, and thought: "King Kong and those four masters who call themselves 'looking, hearing, asking, and cutting' should have some effect. At noon, I was so anxious that I forgot the reason why the pawns crossed the cart on the top of the river, and I would go back and make good use of their characteristics. ”。

Thinking of this, he stopped at the roast chicken stall on the street, and without hesitation, he paid for three roast chickens, and then went to the palace.

When he returned to the Tengu Garden, he saw that the Tengu had been driven back to their cages, and King Kong and them were sitting around the only square table in the room, and Wei Shi was sitting on the main seat, and he was listening attentively to something with his eyes closed and his ears moving.

"What are you doing?" Xiao Shizhu asked, putting the roast chicken on the table, and said, "I've bought you roast chicken." ”。

"Shhh

"Eavesdropping?" Xiao Shizhu felt a wave of suspicion in his heart, looked at Wei Shi's preoccupied appearance, and said in his heart: "I remember that he said that he has excellent ear power, I want to see what he can hear?" As he spoke, he reached out and tore off a chicken leg, staring at Wei He while eating.
