The gold-lacquered gate was slowly closed, and the cold wind and rain were blocked outside the grotto again.

The little fox ghost who was heading towards the Qingqiu Fox King was covered in green hair, but there was only one fox tail behind his thighs, which was gently swaying left and right in the wind.

He is the crown prince of the Qingqiu Fox King, the lobby brother of Fox Qingyun.

He is also one of the right-hand men of the Qingqiu Fox King.

Don't look at this Qingqiu Fox King's ghosts and ghosts, everything is calculated and calculated, but he and his son have no hearts and tricks, and they are very harmonious. Hu Qingping has been carefully cultivated by the Qingqiu Fox King since he was a child, and he can't wait to give anything good to this son.

And Hu Qingping also lives up to expectations, under the teaching of the major teachers of Qingqiu Fox Country, he is becoming more and more excellent, compared to Hu Qingyun, Hu Qingping is much more stable and calm.

And dealing with things and thinking about problems, he is much more mature than that fox Qingyun.

Therefore, he became the right-hand man of the Qingqiu Fox King, not the prince who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun.

"Father, the opportunity to confuse the Nine Shadows Kingdom is right in front of you. Hu Qingping, who rushed to the front of the case in three or two arrows, opened his mouth and said almost the same opinion as Hu Lan: "It is said that the envoy is here to commend your father, why don't you show a gesture of gratitude to the Nine Shadows Country, so that the Envoy can bring this false news back to the Nine Shadows Kingdom." ”。

As he spoke, the fox Qingping's eyes shone brightly, and he hovered with excitement and excitement.

Flickering ghosts have always been what fox ghosts are best at, and this innate ability has made most of them ghosts become schemers and conspirators in the underworld.

Hu Qingping is no exception, he is also one of these conspirators.

"As long as we can confuse the Nine Shadows Kingdom, we will be able to prepare more time for our country to start a war, receive more Nether Ghost Cannons from the Northern Yin Dynasty, and prepare for the big war. Seeing that his father was smiling and silent, the fox Qingping continued: "At the beginning of the war, I can also take him by surprise and attack him unprepared. ”。

The Qingqiu Fox King showed a pleased smile, and suddenly had a little more appreciation in his eyes when he looked at his son.

"Your uncle thinks so too, and it was you who recommended him to go to the Nine Shadows Kingdom to make contact. The Qingqiu Fox King picked up the letter and handed it to his son: "Ping'er, you have made a lot of progress in employing people and royals compared to a few years ago, and your uncle has now played an immeasurable role in the Nine Shadows Kingdom. There is also the thing that instigated the Tu Shan clan to rebel, and unknowingly used the hand of the Nine Shadows Kingdom to clear the Tu Shan clan for his father, which was also done beautifully. ”。

Hu Qingping took a closer look at Hu Lan's codex, and the Qingqiu Fox King continued to say excitedly: "Tu Yaoqing can only rely on our fox ghost clan now. And we can also use her to steal the Nine Shadows Kingdom. ”。

Because of his words, the Qingqiu Fox King became more and more excited, and his voice trembled a little when he spoke.

In addition, there are only Qingqiu Fox King and his son nearby, and the other is a close confidant palace slave, Qingqiu Fox King has no scruples, and bluntly told a lot of secrets.

"Uncle's plan is not bad, but if the envoy invites him, his father is not allowed to go with the envoy. After reading the Fox Lan Codex, Hu Qingping, after thinking carefully for a while, said thoughtfully: "Moreover, if this envoy does not bring the invitation card of the Nine Shadows King, then he can't go to this Nine Shadows Country." ”。

Having said that, the gloomy cold light in Hu Qingping's eyes was even colder than the wind and rain outside the cave.

"Why is this?" the Qingqiu Fox King on the opposite side was stunned for a moment, and asked knowingly.

He just wants to take the test, this son of his own.

"Because if the envoy did not bring documents and invitations, it means that the king of the nine shadows invited his father, and there must be fraud. As a great country in the upper state, the Nine Shadows Kingdom was in a hurry to succeed, forcing his father to go to Yuque City, and he had to show the majesty of the great power, and he wanted to be under heavy pressure, so that his father went to the Nine Shadows Kingdom without thinking. Therefore, even the paperwork invitation was not sent, but it went against the normal state of the Nine Ghost Countries to our country. The fox Qingping didn't think about it, and told everything he thought of: "But if you bring documents or invitations, it is the same as what my uncle said, the Nine Hidden Kingdom and the Beiyin Dynasty finally got a truce, they have a request for their father and our country, and they also urgently need to enter to recuperate, so it doesn't hurt for my father to go, there must be a return." ”。

"Well, Ping'er, you have learned to think about the details, and the progress is indeed not small. The Qingqiu Fox King stood up, and the palace slaves beside him immediately went to the back of the screen, took a cloak, and put it on the Qingqiu Fox King.

"Did you see the envoy coming, and what is your identity?" asked the Qingqiu Fox King as he bypassed the case and paced towards the gate.

"I didn't see it, but I heard that it was Changqin, the crown prince of Zhurong Kingdom, and today he is the Chunguan Zongbo who is in charge of the world in the Nine Shadows Kingdom, in order to assist the King of the Nine Shadows to make the world harmonious. Hu Qingping, who followed, said to the Qingqiu Fox King: "I also married the ghost king back then, the daughter of the ghost captive of the general of the South Town of Jiuyou Country today. This female ghost also served as the personal maid of the ghost mother back then. ”。

"Oh, so this little prince is also a high authority in the Nine Shadows Kingdom?" The Qingqiu Fox King, who stopped behind the gate, rolled his eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Yes, it is said that the current etiquette laws of the Nine Shadows Kingdom were formulated by this little prince and Xiao Shizhu together. He can also be sent as an envoy to our country, and his status must not be low. Hu Qingping, who nodded, said to the Qingqiu Fox King: "And he is also one of the six ghost officials of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, and his rights must be not small." ”。

"You are all young people, and there must be a lot of speculation to talk about. For example, the crown prince, such as the restoration of the country or something. When the Qingqiu Fox King said this, the wind in front of him slowly opened.

The sound of wind and rain became louder and louder, and the rain and mist that diffused between heaven and earth outside the cave appeared in front of the eyes of the Qingqiu Fox King with the opening of the gate.

"In the past few days, you don't want to go to your skinny horse to mess around, you can accompany Changqin more, and do your best for your father. When the door was completely open, the Qingqiu Fox King added.

The fox Qingping behind him immediately understood, and after responding happily, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

"Let's go. The Qingqiu Fox King stepped out and walked out of the grotto across the threshold: "Let's go and meet this ghost envoy of the Nine Shadows Kingdom who came from afar." ”。

Outside the grotto, the wind and rain became tighter and more urgent, and the sky became darker and darker.

And at this moment, in the distant Yuque City, the capital of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, it also rained heavily, blowing a tsunami-like storm.

In the darkness of the sky, Xiao Shizhu, who was silent, also stood under the ring corridor outside the main building of Juexiangyuan, staring at the distance ahead, and the rain curtain fell from the mouth of the sinkhole. What he was holding in his hand was a clerical report sent by Changqin. It was a report on Changqin's routine of stepping into the Qingqiu Fox Country.

In addition, what Xiao Shizhu is holding in his hand is ironclad evidence that the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom secretly betrayed the Nine Shadows Kingdom and sent envoys to secretly collude with the Northern Yin Dynasty......

Dim, boundless darkness poured in like a tidal wave, flooding the entire dungeons of Howling Wind.

The bean lights on the lonely lamp on the wall, in the boundless darkness, so lonely and powerless.

The sound of brisk footsteps, echoing in the silence, was exceptionally clear.

Xiao Fuling took Fan Jinhong, who was carrying a lantern, and walked through the low and narrow passages, walking through the dim and damp cells.

In the lantern in Fan Jinhong's hand, a little green glow illuminated the place in front of Xiao Lingling.

Originally, Xiao Fuling should have left the Howling Wind Plain three or five days ago and rushed back to Yuque City. But she suddenly found some clues and had to postpone the original date.

She's here today because of the newly discovered clues.

After walking through the winding passages for a long time, I finally came to the depths of the dungeon, in front of a T-junction.

In the cell opposite, there were three iron bars in the door. Guarding outside the prison door were Xiao Shizhu's four personal soldiers and two Xuanjiao disciples. With such a tight guard, it can be seen that the prisoners held here are by no means ordinary prisoners.

Fan Jinhong stepped forward first and lit the torches on the rock walls on both sides of the cell door.

The bright light of the fire tore through the darkness inside and outside the cell door, and the surroundings were no longer dim as the torches lit up.

By the light of the fire, Xiao Lingling saw the second child who was in a criminal group of thieves and sellers of rare ores, wearing iron shackles and shackles, sitting cross-legged behind the cell door.

I haven't seen him for a few days, and the second child is a lot haggard, and it's not good to be hungry and thin. Even the cheeks on his face are sunken.

The second child has not died so far, because the Nine Shadows Kingdom still needs him. A lot of false information to confuse the enemies of the Nine Shadows Kingdom was sent out from this cell.

Looking at the second child's dejected appearance now, Xiao Fuling was a little relieved of his past treason.

She stood outside the cell door, quietly looking at the dick inside.

But the second child in the cell door lowered his head, not daring to look directly at Xiao Ling. He is no longer in the ascendant, and it is impossible to turn the tables again, but he is just a death row prisoner who has lost his position and is waiting to die, where is there still the arrogance when he was arrested.

Such a lost and depressed second child, of course, also felt that what he had done before was shameless to face any ghosts of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, including Xiao Fuling, so he could only hang his head.

"Dick. After a while, Xiao Lingling sat down on the chair brought by the guard, still looking directly at the prisoner opposite, looking at the dirty and foul-smelling prison clothes on his body, and asked, "I want to ask a question, I hope you can answer my questions." ”。

Hearing this, the second child on the opposite side slowly raised his head, and his two bloodshot eyes looked at Xiao Fuling.

His chapped lips opened, and the second child said in a hoarse voice in a smoking voice: "Lord Weng, please ask." ”。

"In addition to the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom, the Northern Yin Dynasty is also your employer, right?" Xiao Lingling asked these words that made the second child listen inexplicably, and reached out to the ribbon around her waist to grope for a while.

The forbidden step on her waist swayed, and there was a soft sound between the frictions.

Xiao Fuling quickly took out a piece of paper the size of a stacked tofu block from the hidden pocket on the inside of the ribbon.

"This is Lord Thrush, and the handwriting on it is yours when you find it in your evidence. Under the blank gaze of the second child, Xiao Fuling unfolded the piece of paper, stared at the white paper and black words in her hand by the light of the fire, and chanted: "Saltpeter black fire, sulfur arsenic, a little refined into oily and transparent, no longer black fierce fire oil, and a little thunder crystal, all of which are not known for the time being? But my mother, in order to sharpen my patience and carefulness, asked me to learn firearms making with my mother, Mrs. Lai, who is now the head of the Arms Superintendent, because it requires extreme patience and care. And although I am not interested in making firearms, I have seen a lot of recipes for making firearms, and these things you wrote above happen to be essential items for making guns or guns. ”。
