【927】Refreshing
Three days later, Xiao Shizhu's personal guards really rushed to the city of Howling Wind.
After they only stayed for a short day, they took Lai Yueqi's car and left in the direction they came.
Xiao Fuling climbed the gate tower of the West City of Howling Wind City, stood in the wind, and watched Lai Yueqi's car, gradually moving away in the cloudy light.
Lai Yueqi went back to treat her illness. But Xiao Lingling still has to stay, she still has things to do. If you don't catch all the ghosts who resell the rare minerals of the Nine Shadows Country, Xiao Poria will never go back.
After seeing Lai Yueqi's car out of sight, Xiao Fuling turned around and walked slowly along the city wall.
Thrush and Fan Jinhong followed.
It was much windier on the city walls than in the city, and the flags planted on them were always hunting in the wind.
The sound of the hula flag echoed in the wind.
Xiao Fuling walked along the city wall, and she had no intention of going down. The scenery you see everywhere you pass is the bustle of the city on one side and the desolation outside the city on the other.
"Master Weng, it doesn't matter if Mrs. Lai goes back by herself. I see that the lord just sent three small flag sergeants, this will be fine, right?" Thrush, who followed behind Xiao Fuling, asked with some concern after thinking about it.
After all, before, Lai Yueqi had seen the ghost who held the Qingqiu Fox Country and secretly stole evidence of rare minerals from the Nine Shadows Country.
Although this matter is within the scope of strict secrecy, there is no impermeable wall in the world, and the power of this gang on the Howling Wind Plain is not small, and it is normal for Thrush to worry about Lai Yueqi.
"That's my father's personal soldier, one of the most powerful soldiers of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, from officers to soldiers, each of them is proficient in more than ten kinds of divine and ghost arts. In addition, there are seven Su Tianju disciples and twenty guards in my Yueniang Palace, and they are walking the underworld path in my country, so there will be no problem. Xiao Fuling didn't think much about it, and said casually.
She didn't worry about Lai Yueqi's safety at all. It's not just these reasons why she said it, but also that she knows her father Xiao Shizhu's temper too well.
Everyone only saw three small flag sergeants coming to pick up Lai Yueqi, but secretly someone must have been arranged to escort Lai Yueqi along the way.
In comparison, Lai Yueqi is now safer than Xiao Ling.
And as long as you get out of the Howling Wind Plain, there will be an army to respond, and you don't have to worry about Lai Yueqi's safety at all.
"My moon mother is gone, and I can concentrate on doing something. After a pause, Xiao Lingling stood behind a wall, looked at the stone pillars that could not be blown down by the wind in the wilderness outside the city, and said to the thrush and Fan Jinhong beside him: "Next, it seems that the evidence of all the criminals who are targeted will be collected, but it must be done in secret, so as not to leak the rumors." ”。
Seeing that there were no outsiders around, Xiao Fuling got back to business and once again talked about the purpose of her stay here.
"Well, the minister is already arranging. Fan Jinhong stood aside and replied, "Everything is going according to plan, and the evidence found will be temporarily placed in the barracks outside the city and handed over to the army to take care of." It's safer that way. ”。
He didn't shy away from the thrush being by his side, and he said it bluntly.
It is nothing more than that this gang of criminals can infiltrate the thrush's mansion, and it is not safe to put the evidence there.
Thrush frowned when he heard this, he was a little displeased, but Fan Jinhong was also telling the truth, and Thrush naturally didn't take this to heart. It's just that he didn't expand it quickly, sneered, and said, "Lord Fan is really thoughtful. ”。
Thrush In the county area she governs, there is such a big criminal gang, dormant for so long, stealing and selling thousands of rare minerals, Xiao Shizhu did not cure thrush of a crime of negligence, but continued to appoint thrush, thrush is already grateful.
Where can Thrush have any complaints, he can only do his best to cooperate with Xiao Fuling's work and catch these criminals as soon as possible.
"Lord Thrush, my father has given you an order to reward those Qingqiu fox ghosts who come to commit crimes under the cover of being a businessman, have you received it?" Xiao Fuling then retracted her gaze and turned her head to look at the thrush beside her: "My father said that he would reward them for their business activities, which have driven our country's economy. ”。
"Roger. The thrush bowed slightly, and returned: "It's already in preparation." ”。
When the thrush received this royal order, he was also a little confused and puzzled. If you think about it lightly, it will take time to find evidence of so many criminals.
Xiao Shizhu was far-sighted and used such a move to stabilize the enemy, which is indeed a master's move.
Moreover, in Xiao Shizhu's order, it has been made very clear that when the thrush wants to reward these criminals, it is specially mentioned that this is the meaning of the Yuque Palace, as a move to consolidate the friendship between Jiuyou and Qingqiu.
In this way, it can also paralyze those criminals, making them think that the high-level of the Nine Shadows Kingdom is not aware of their secret crimes. Naturally, I wouldn't have thought that the Nine Shadows Kingdom had already begun to lay a net of heaven and earth.
This trick made the thrush admire.
"My father, the king, likes to play with this kind of means, and he will first raise the beast that is going to kill the sacrifice to the heavens. Seeing that the thrush was ready, and with confidence and confidence, Xiao Ling, who stood on the wall in the wind, did not say anything else, but pinned the blown sideburns behind the ear with his hand, and whispered in a voice that only the thrush and Fan Jinhong around him could hear clearly: "Please Lord Thrush must seriously cooperate with my father's performance, and the condolences and rewards must be sincere." ”。
"No. The thrush who answered the call and bowed slightly......
Xiaoyu Mountain City, with beautiful scenery on the top of the mountain, is diametrically opposed to the barrenness of Howling Wind City, but each has its own merits.
Although the mountain wind blowing through the top of Xiaoyu Mountain City is not small, it is not as fast and fast as the strong wind on the Howling Wind Plain, and it cannot blow people's cheeks up.
In the courtyard of the military government, the negotiating table was once again straightened.
This peace talks between the Nine Shadows Kingdom and the Northern Yin Dynasty have been going on for almost a month. Only a part of the compensation has been set. There are still a small number of peace talks, which have not yet been decided.
Ying Zhao and Jiang Ziwen, as well as Ji Kang, became more and more calm the more they talked. More and more unhurried, can argue more and never skimp on time and saliva.
And Lu Zhidao and Wei Zheng, who were sent by the Beiyin Dynasty, were more anxious about the interview. Lu Zhidao is slightly better, but Wei Zheng often does not have a good face, and he is very speechless when he is in a hurry to scold people.
This made them more and more calm. Even sometimes at the negotiation table, the representatives of the Nine Shadows Kingdom laughed and watched Wei Zheng break the scolding to vent their hatred, so as to delay time.
Then, Ying Zhao also took advantage of his busy official duties to compress the negotiations that had to be held for four or five hours a day to just two hours in the morning.
Therefore, there has been no conclusion to this peace talks so far.
It made the ghost envoys of the Northern Yin Dynasty more and more anxious.
This is exactly what the British recruit them need; during this time, the British recruited them to the loess, the golden eagle and the raccoon Tianying, etc., and won a lot of time to attack the southeast region of Liutianzhou.
The sailors of the Nine Shadows Kingdom became pirates during this time, wreaking havoc in the southeast region of the Six Heavens Continent of the Northern Yin Dynasty, sacking one military port and garrison after another.
There is also the warehouse and armory of the Beiyin Dynasty garrison in the local area, and the storage house is needed, it is said that more than a dozen ships were made of iron arrows alone, and they were pulled to Dongyingzhou to be used by the Jiuyou army under the command of King Yama.
Clothing and food and grass, weapons and ** are countless.
He even penetrated dozens of miles into the coast, avoiding all the towns and cities, and specially looted the places and passes where the Xudu army was stationed.
For a time, the defense of the southeastern coastal area of Liutianzhou was in vain. The army of the Nine Shadows Kingdom came and went freely, and ran away after grabbing, never entangled with the Xudu army on land. There were powerful sailors on the sea who secretly responded, and the Northern Yin Dynasty suffered heavy losses.
Fortunately, the Beiyin Dynasty has deep roots and has not yet reached the point where the foundation has been shaken, but the reconstruction of the coastal defense in the southeast region has reached the point where it cannot be delayed. Therefore, Wei Zheng and Lu Zhidao became more and more anxious.
Moreover, they were bitten to death by Yingzhao, and they didn't make any concessions, which made the representative ghost envoys of the Northern Yin Dynasty very anxious every day.
On this day, the negotiation table was set up, Ying Zhao, Jiang Ziwen, and Ji Kang still came in advance, and after taking their seats, they picked up the teacup, and while drinking tea leisurely, they chatted and waited for the representatives of the Beiyin Dynasty to come over.
"I heard that the southeast region of Liutianzhou is playing well. After chatting with Jiang Ziwen and Ji Kang about a few inconsequential things, Ying Zhao brought the topic to this matter: "I also plundered a lot of materials, and they were all sent to Dongyingzhou in batches." ”。
As a high-ranking general and negotiator of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, Ying Zhao can grasp these battle reports as soon as possible, so that he can adjust the strategy at the negotiation table in time and strive for the greatest interests of the Nine Shadows Kingdom.
"Really?" Jiang Ziwen, who knew nothing, immediately put down his teacup and looked at Yingzhao, he was slightly stunned, and his face was full of joy.
If that were the case, the peace talks would be almost over.
Jiang Ziwen understood that the Emperor of Xudu, the southeast region of Liutianzhou, has always been the grain depot of Liutianzhou in the Beiyin Dynasty, which is equivalent to Dongyingzhou and Dongyizhou.
If the two eastern continents had not been discarded, the Northern Yin Dynasty might not have been tense about the situation in the southeast region of the Six Heavenly Continents. But now that the Northern Yin Dynasty has lost the two eastern continents, the supply of grain and grass can only come from the ghost kingdoms of the two western continents - Fenglin Continent and Kunlun Continent.
The second is the self-sufficiency of the Six Heavens.
Emperor Xudu will definitely pay attention to the war situation in the southeast.
Otherwise, let Xiao Shizhu's army of the Nine Shadows Kingdom snatch a few more times, and this Emperor Xudu will lose even more. Of course, this account has to be calculated with the compensation from the peace talks.
"It's true. The first point of the heroic move, replied affirmatively: "The battle report I received last night was in duplicate, and one copy has been sent to Yuque City, and the lord should also know about it." Last night, our army attacked the two military ports of the Beiyin Dynasty in one go, and looted more than a dozen ships just for supplies. ”。
"If this matter is reported back to Xudu, Xudu will definitely let Lu Zhidao and Wei Zheng readily agree to our request. Ji Kang pondered for a moment, then took over and said to Yingzhao: "The peace talks won't last long, so the marshal should prepare in advance to receive materials and compensation." ”。
This is a correct guess, Emperor Xudu has already ordered Lu Zhidao and Wei Zheng to end the peace talks as soon as possible.
As long as the Nine Shadows Kingdom does not ask for more things, do not bargain with the Nine Shadows Kingdom again, so as not to waste too much time and let the peace talks last longer.
"Yes, that's what I thought, too. Ying Zhao put down his teacup, pondered for a long time, and also felt that what Ji Kang said was reasonable; he knew that although the Beiyin Dynasty had big roots and deep roots, the Beiyin Dynasty had been stormy all these years, like a broken ship full of holes in the stormy waves.
Although except for the Nine Shadows Kingdom, the other troubles are all minor troubles for the Beiyin Dynasty, but there are too many troubles, and the lack of left and right has already greatly damaged the vitality of the Beiyin Dynasty.
At this time, the Nine Shadows Kingdom had sacked the southeast region of the Northern Yin Dynasty, and the Emperor Xudu would definitely agree to all the compensation conditions proposed by the Nine Shadows Kingdom.
Even if this will make the Northern Yin Dynasty have no face and dignity.
