The soft light of the night moon shines through the roof of the sinkhole, and with the night breeze, it spreads all over the roof of the Juexiang Garden. The jade tiles made of jade have a warm and delicate luster.

Those jade tiles and the stone statues of ancient gods standing on the warped corners are even more crystal clear.

"Of course not, how could I not want to go to school?" Xiao Fuling waved her hand again and again, and hurriedly denied: "I am so well-behaved, how can I have such a lazy idea of not wanting to go to school?"

After finishing speaking, Xiao Fuling, whose eyes were wide open, looked at the ghost mother who seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and blinked rhythmically a few times.

In the moonlight, her beautiful eyes were pretty. The wandering eye waves followed the blinking movement, as if he was saying to his mother: "Believe me, you must believe me." "General.

"Like your father, you can only believe a third of the perverse words that come out of your mouth. The ghost mother immediately reached out, gently pinched the cheeks at the corner of Xiao Ling's mouth, bent her index finger again, and scraped the bridge of her nose as upturned as Xiao Shizhu, and smiled: "Forget it, I don't care about you for today's holiday." ”。

"Mother is so good!" Xiao Fuling, whose small mouth suddenly became very sweet, wrapped her arms around the ghost mother, tilted her head, and leaned on the other party's shoulder.

"Come less. The ghost mother put away her smile and gave her daughter a white look.

Xiao Fuling did grin, and then fell into deep thought and said no more.

After waiting for a moment and not seeing her speak, the ghost mother asked curiously, "What do you want?"

"I don't go to see my father anymore. When the words landed, Xiao Lingling had already opened her mouth to answer. Then, there was a hint of determination in his eyes.

The ghost mother was puzzled, and couldn't help but "Huh?", then looked at her daughter and asked, "Why don't you go?"

"You need more manpower here, I'm in the royal capital, and when I come back from class in the school palace, I can still help you approve the recital and do what I can. Xiao Fuling raised the corners of her mouth again, and a smile bloomed on her face: "My father's side is more than enough for him to deal with by himself, and he doesn't need my help, and he will come back eventually." ”。

Xiao Fuling's words were by no means a whim, but a well-thought-out determination.

The daughter has really grown up and is a lot more sensible, which makes the ghost mother feel very gratified. couldn't help but raise her hand, help her first put the hair attached to her ear, pin it behind her ear, and then stroked her daughter's head, deliberately teasing her: "Don't you regret it?"

"Of course, I'll find a fungus man to send a message to my father, and he will naturally come back after dealing with the matter over there, so of course I don't have to go. The mountains and roads of the province are far away, and there is still a sea to cross. Xiao Fuling raised her head slightly, and said confidently and proudly......

Dongyizhou, a large and small lonely city.

When the sun rises in the west, the dawn shines. Thousands of holes, a mess of large and small lonely cities have returned to calm and serene. The fighting and screaming, and the sound of gunfire all dissipated as the night wore on. Only the guns of the Nine Shadows Kingdom left countless craters and devastation on the streets and houses in the city, quietly telling the tragic battle last night.

The soldiers of the corpse soul army defending the city, seven or eight out of ten failed to wake up this morning, and the rest recognized the situation under the guns of the Jiuyou army, abandoned their armor and surrendered to the Jiuyou country.

The Jiuyou National Army, which occupied the large and small lonely cities, did not surrender as usual as soon as they occupied these two cities. And strictly enforce the military rules of freezing to death without demolishing houses, starving to death without plundering, and the ghost people in the city are not guilty of any offense. At the same time, it also destroyed the four ghost slave markets in the two cities, and released nearly 100,000 ghost slaves from them.

All kinds of actions made the ghost people in the city not regard the Nine Shadows Army as a flood beast, and also made the Nine Shadows Army quickly gain a firm foothold in the large and small lonely cities, without encountering any popular rebellion and resistance.

Xiao Shizhu also ordered the ghost officials in the city who surrendered to Cheng to immediately open a warehouse and release grain; after giving priority to the grain to the ghost slaves who were released, followed by the ghost people and soldiers in the city.

He then ordered a large army to begin building all the defenses in the two cities, including the bombed-out walls and towers. At the same time, after treating the surrendered soldiers, they were incorporated into the various Nine Shadow armies he brought, which quickly stabilized the order in the city. So that the ghosts in the city are still business as usual, and the merchants are still open to do business.

Looking at this momentum, the Nine Shadows National Army does not seem to have the intention of taking advantage of the victory to attack Wenyuan Valley behind the city, as if it is going to settle down in this large and small lonely city.

The cloudy day continued to rise in the east, and the city was full of red light, like blood.

The commander of the army, LinkedIn Lingxing and Bei Hui, after a busy night, could not go up to take a rest, so they made an appointment and strode towards the city god gate of the Great Lonely City.

The two ghosts walked all the way, their brows furrowed, and their faces were full of exhaustion and anxiety. The meteor rushed into the yamen, bringing a gust of wind behind him.

When they stood in the bright lobby, they saw Xiao Shizhu sitting in the depths of the hall, staring at the map of the large and small lonely cities spread out on the table in front of them, frowning and pondering.

Four personal guards straddled their swords and guns, standing in all directions by the table, majestic.

And the fungus man who had been following him all the time sat on the table and took a nap by leaning on the sticker standing on the table.

Ying Lingxing and the two ghosts of Ying Ling stood opposite him, Xiao Shizhu's eyes were still staring at the landscape pattern of dots and lines on the map, but his lips had slowly opened, and he asked leisurely: "Has normal order been restored in the city?"

As he spoke, the expression on Xiao Shizhu's face gradually turned calm.

Ying Lingxing and Bei Shu glanced at each other, and they both saw a faint surprise in the depths of each other's eyes, obviously they were a little surprised that Xiao Shizhu had guessed the purpose of their visit.

"Also, the country of corpses is moving, the scouts have reported back, and a large number of enemy troops are quickly assembling near the big and small lonely cities, am I right?" Xiao Shizhu raised his head, raised his eyes and glanced at their tightly knit brows, and smiled.

The smile is full of confidence.

"God, God. Before we could speak, my lord guessed what we were going to say. Bei Shu suddenly smiled, excitement appeared in his eyes, and he exclaimed urgently: "No wonder even if the Xudu Army was powerful and had the majority of the advantages, it was still not your opponent, it turned out that you would be like a god." ”。

"I'm so refreshed by your compliment. But it's not like God, it's the anxious look on your face that tells me. Xiao Shizhu laughed loudly, stood up, straightened his arms, and stretched his waist properly, but his face was still calm, and the whole ghost was calm.

Observing words and looks, but his forte, through the expressions of Ying Lingxing and Bei Shu, it is not difficult for Xiao Shizhu to guess what the two ghosts want to say.

After stretching his waist, Xiao Shizhu paused and said indifferently: "Specifically, let's talk about the content of the scouts' returns." ”。

"No. After bowing slightly, he frowned again, his face was a little worried, and he said urgently: "The scouts we sent out have just reported that more than 100,000 corpse soul troops have been assembled in the northern valley of the Great and Small Lonely Cities. On the east and west sides, there are also 100,000 corpse soul armies in full swing to assemble; ”。

"The point is that the walls and towers of the isolated cities, as well as the fortifications, have not been fully repaired. Ying Lingxing, who took the words, was a little more worried on his face.

Without fortifications, the army in the city would not have a favorable terrain to rely on. Moreover, after the battle, Xiao Shizhu sent the flying thunder car and the Great Immortal Cha as a food and material transport team back to Manjiang City, and this flying team will not return until after tomorrow morning at the latest. At this time, the Jiuyou National Army in the city faced the 300,000 enemy troops who were about to come to the city, and they would inevitably suffer heavy casualties in the next battle.

So these two ghost generals couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

"For the sake of the generals, when Tarzan collapses in front of you, your face will not change, and you don't have to worry so much, otherwise your men will be flustered. When the two ghosts nodded in response, Xiao Shizhu smiled indifferently and said slowly: "There is no artificially cast geographical advantage, so we will use the natural geographical advantage." ”。

As he spoke, he raised his right index finger and pointed to the map on the table in front of him.

The two ghosts took a step forward and looked towards Xiao Shizhu's finger. I saw that the place where Xiao Shizhu's finger pointed was the north-south continuous mountain range in the middle of the large and small lonely cities.

"Lonely Mountain?" she muttered softly, frowning again.

Xiao Shizhu bowed slightly.

The mountain range between the two cities is called Lonely Mountain, but it is more than ten miles long from north to south and only about thirty miles wide. However, this mountain is particularly unusual in Dongyizhou, where there is abundant rain and fertile land, and it is rare. In addition to the cliffs cut out by knives and axes, only huge rocks remained, and there was no grass and it was very desolate.

The harvest is quite incomprehensible, where to find cover on the bald top of such a barren mountain with little vegetation and trees?

But after thinking about it for a while, he thought that even if the city wall was built, it would not be that the grass and trees would not grow, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he suddenly realized.

"But the lord wants to mount the artillery on the top of the cliff on this mountain?" Bei Shu raised his head and looked at Xiao Shizhu, who seemed to be smiling, but then saw that there were other ghosts in the lobby, and hurriedly asked in a low voice.

Outside the lobby, the clouds dispersed, and the warm wind blowing between heaven and earth poured into the hall from the completely open door.

"Of course. China's tiger squat cannons are all curved artillery, and they will not be blocked by rocks when they go up the cliff, and they are condescending, and it is more than enough to guard the two cities and all directions. Xiao Shizhu, whose robe was blown slightly by the warm wind blowing into the hall, did not shy away from his ghosts. Just smiled and nodded, pointed to the finger of the map, and drew a circle within the scope of the lonely mountain on the map.

"Then on the south and southeast and southwest sides of the city, dig out a ring trench, set up thunderbolts and poisonous fire cannons, do not enter but defend, attract the army of the corpse country little by little, and then consume it little by little. Xiao Shizhu, who paused, raised his eyes to look around at Bei Shui and Ying Lingxing, and there was a sly smile on the corner of his lips that was slightly upturned.

When Bei Shu and Ying Lingxing heard this, they didn't say anything and fell into deep thought.

They knew what Xiao Shizhu meant, and they used this advantageous place to destroy the Corpse Soul Army in batches. This is indeed a good solution, but after thinking about it for a while, he thought of a question, that is, what if the enemy army did not come to the large and small lonely cities, and went straight to the rear of the Nine Shadows Army around this place?

Thinking of this, Bei Shu was so shocked that cold sweat oozed from his forehead, and he hurriedly explained his thoughts to Xiao Shizhu.

But after Xiao Shizhu quietly listened to his thoughts, he was not frightened, but smiled indifferently, and said to him leisurely: "As long as I hang the banner of my 'Xiao' character high above the city, and let out the wind to say that I am in the big and small lonely cities, then the obsession of avenging my father will drive the extravagant hope of constantly sending troops to attack the big and small lonely cities." ”。
