The air around the pavilion suddenly plummeted and became cold.

Looking at the indifferent look on Emperor Xudu's face, King Yama couldn't help but be puzzled. Although he couldn't understand the meaning of Emperor Xudu's words, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in his heart.

In the Beiyin Dynasty, he didn't know what the ghost didn't know that the woman Jin God was the concubine of his Emperor Xudu, and the two ghosts were actually husband and wife, which was already a secret that most ghosts knew.

In the past, everyone didn't know that it was the fear of the moody Emperor Xudu, and a day of husband and wife for a hundred days, but the Emperor Xudu was so indifferent to the god of Ma Nujin, which made the king of Yama very surprised and puzzled?

"You immediately go to do something, and declare to the outside world that because of the initiative of the goddess of Ma Nujin to surrender to the enemy, you leaked the secret of the raid in the Nine Shadows Kingdom, resulting in the annihilation of our army. Standing in the shadows, the indifference on his face was a little heavier, and he said coldly: "Promote her as a heinous villain and a thief who is punished by everyone." ”。

He also suddenly remembered the fact that he had suffered a defeat, and that just killing the surviving sergeant might not be able to block the news, but would rather cover it up, and only by finding a scapegoat could the matter be closed.

Although this is very cruel to the god of Ma Nujin, this is what the Emperor of Xudu needs at this moment to protect the car with a perfect pawn, so he has to sacrifice the god of Ma Nujin. And Xiao Shizhu's ruthlessness of the emperor is also a prophecy.

The king of Yama, who bowed his head slightly, did not say much, and did not dare to defend the god of Masujin, so he had to feel sorry for the god of Manujin in his heart, and bowed and replied: "No."

Then Emperor Xudu waved his hand, signaling that the king of Yama could retreat, got up and stood by the pavilion with his hands in his hands, looking at the ancient trees not far away that were blown by the mountain wind, the cold words on his face gradually turned into a faint sadness, and there were tears flashing in his eyes......

In the north of Yuque City, there is a three-entry compound built by the mountain in the middle of the mountainside; The symmetrical houses in the courtyard are divided into three floors from low to high, with a main road in the middle.

This is the mansion that Xiao Shizhu gave to Wu Qiu Shou.

After nightfall, the city is still lively, and the streets and alleys are noisy. And this small courtyard in the middle of the downtown area is quiet.

In the middle of the night, after almost all the ghosts in the courtyard had slept, only the study room in the backyard was brightly lit outside the window.

The green rue herbs planted on both sides of the stone steps outside the door swayed in the night breeze, and the crisp sound of insects sounded from among the stones in the grass.

The room, which was clear and clean, but not very spacious, was lined with tall bookshelves that were lined around the bookcase in the center, and were filled with all kinds of books and picture scrolls. A somewhat pale and haggard Wuqiu Shou was sitting behind the bookcase, staring at the white paper unfolding on the bookcase in a daze.

Under the flickering candle flame, Wu Qiu Shou's brows became tighter and tighter, as if he was thinking about something.

After a while, Wu Qiushou had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and immediately took the pen and wrote ten smooth characters on the right side of the white paper, "First take the strategy of Dongying and Fusang".

Wu Qiushou, who coughed violently, took the ivory in his hand as a rod, and the tip of the calligraphy pen with the hair of the unicorn neck was proud, stretched out into the crystal smooth purple lazuli inkstone, dipped it in thick ink, and coughed a few times.

Then a small "creak" sound came from the door, and a young soul man who was no more than sixteen, seventeen, or eight walked in slowly. The appearance is very similar to Wu Qiu Shou, and he also has a white square face. It's just that the eyebrows are lighter than the eight-character eyebrows of Wu Qiushou.

"Father, why don't you rest in the middle of the night?" The young male ghost walked to the bookcase with a cup of steaming medicinal tea, looked at Wuqiu Shou and then glanced down at the white paper on the table: "Your health has been getting worse and worse recently, so let's drink this medicinal tea and rest early." ”。

This male ghost is Wuqiu Yuan, the only son of Wuqiu Shou, and he is also an apprentice of the Qinglong Academy Palace of the Nine Shadows Kingdom.

And Wu Qiu Shou's illness has been accumulated for more than a year, and the ghost doctor's Zhang Imperial Doctor has also personally come to the house to diagnose and treat him many times, all of which say that Wu Qiu Shou should rest more;

On the contrary, the bones of the body are getting worse and worse, and the whole ghost has been thinner and thinner.

After glancing at the big characters on the white paper, Wu Qiuyuan asked curiously: "The child heard that this Nanban was only able to make a preliminary decision, why did he go to attack the two continents of Dongying and Fusang Continent?"

This is a foresight, and it is only a suggestion for the future strategic direction of the lord, and it is not an immediate attack. After Wu Qiushou said this, he hurriedly put down the brush and covered his mouth with his right hand, and coughed violently a few times.

Wu Qiu Yuan hurriedly walked around to him, reached out to help his father pat his back, and after making Wu Qiu Shou feel more comfortable, he handed the medicinal tea to his father, and persuaded him bitterly: "Father, the lord has ordered you to go home to recuperate, you should rest for a while!" As he spoke, his brows furrowed, and a look of worry appeared in his eyes.

"It's fine. Wu Qiu Shou frowned and took a sip of bitter medicinal tea, waved his hand disappreciatively, and said slowly: "Now that our country is at an important moment that determines the future life and death, I, as an important minister of the court, must not be passive and slack off. ”。

"You're meditating on your body, and you're not deliberately slacking off. Wu Qiu Yuan stomped his feet angrily, and couldn't help but sigh heavily after finishing his words.

"Yuan'er, if I go home to recuperate at this time, if the mother of the country or the lord urgently needs to discuss with the minister in case of state affairs, do you want them to wait until my father is well to discuss this matter?"

"There are so many ministers in the court, and there is no shortage of fathers. What's more, the lord has repeatedly asked the fungus man to order you to go home to recuperate, just to let you rest well and don't have to worry about state affairs. Wu Qiuyuan hurriedly persuaded again, but he still got his father's wave of his hand, and a slightly ignorant sentence: "You should not be careful." ”。

"You go to the palace well, our country needs all kinds of ghost talents at any time, and only by applying what you have learned can you make the people in the country live a stable and happy life; as for the body of the father and the father himself, it is not as exaggerated as the imperial doctor Zhang said. Wu Qiu Shou smiled slightly, looked at his son with a little love in his eyes, paused and said, "Go and rest." ”。

After persuading for a while, Wu Qiuyuan, who still couldn't resist his father, had to tell his father with worry in his eyes that he must drink the medicinal tea, and then after resting early, he left the study step by step.

At the moment when the gate was closed, Wu Qiu Shou had reached out to hold the pen and thought for a while, and then continued to write on the white paper: "Since ancient times, the two continents of Dongying and Fusang are the richest of the ten continents of the underworld, with a network of rivers crisscrossing the continent, large and small lakes dotted around, plus sufficient rainfall and fertile land, it has always had the reputation of the granary of the underworld. Now the two continents in southern Xinjiang are determined, and most of the ghost clans in the two continents are in the heart, and the Nine Shadows Kingdom does not have much trouble. If the lord wants to overthrow the Northern Yin Dynasty, he must first attack the two continents of Dongying and Fusang, and cut off the grain route of the Northern Yin Dynasty. Make it less food and not more soldiers, so as to strengthen the strength of our country, and virtually weaken the strength of the Northern Yin Dynasty. ”。

As soon as he wrote this, Wu Qiu Shou suddenly felt a more intense pain in his chest, it was a heart-rending sensation that made it difficult for him to even breathe, and then he coughed suddenly, and a mouthful of blood gushed out of his mouth, spilling on the white paper in front of him......

After walking out of the study, Wu Qiuyuan, who was full of worries, walked into the second courtyard, and saw the old porter in the house running in a hurry, and after standing in front of him, he pulled up his sleeves and gasped: "Young master, young master, the mother of the country came to the door late at night, please follow the old servant to pick up the car." ”。

Wu Qiuyuan didn't dare to slack off when he heard this, and hurriedly followed the porter to the courtyard and walked quickly. After passing the weeping flower gate of the second courtyard, I saw the ghost mother dressed in dark blue Zhai clothes and wearing a phoenix crown with two, three or five forbidden soldiers and Chen Ruo had entered the street gate and walked to the shadow wall.

With the light of the torches in the hands of the forbidden army, it can be seen that the ghost mother has a solemn color between her eyebrows, and she has the style of the world.

"The grass people Wu Qiuyuan see the mother of the country. In front of the ghost mother, Wu Qiuyuan hurriedly put on a whole robe, bowed respectfully, and bowed.

The porter also hurriedly learned from him in a whole robe, and bowed down to the ghost mother.

It's not that Wu Qiu Yuan is deliberately rude, it's just that the Nine Shadows Country didn't kneel, and even if the ghosts in the country saw Xiao Shizhu, they only bowed. And he is just an apprentice of the Academy, not an official of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, so he naturally calls himself a grass people.

"Young Master Wuqiu doesn't need to be polite, today I was entrusted by the lord to force your father to recuperate immediately, as for the affairs of the court, he doesn't have to worry about it for the time being. The ghost mother flicked the sleeve of her right hand slightly, and after making a circle in front of her, she folded her hands on her lower abdomen, and asked again after explaining the reason for leaving the palace late at night: "Is your father resting?"

And there is another reason why she came to the door in person today, that is, to persuade this Wuqiu Shou to quickly put down his work and recuperate.

"Thank you for your concern. Wu Qiuyuan, who had a look of gratitude in his eyes, said in a trembling voice, and hurriedly calmed down his excitement after finishing his words, and said slowly: "Father is still working in the study. ”。

The night breeze was blowing, and the forbidden step hanging from the ghost mother's waist sounded a sound of slowness and urgency, and the weight was appropriate. I saw her frowning, and immediately scolded angrily: "He has been ill for a long time, and his body is getting thinner and thinner. When are you still working, why don't you persuade and persuade as a son?".

Wu Qiuyuan's face suddenly showed a little innocent, and he shook his head with his hands spread out and returned very aggrievedly: "My father has always been stubborn by nature, and the grass people have also bothered to persuade many times, but it has been ineffective. ”。

"Take me to him. The ghost mother immediately said: "He doesn't give you face, why do you have to give a few points for my thin noodles?"

"No. The overjoyed Wu Qiu Yuan turned around in response and led the ghost mother towards the backyard.

When he came to the backyard, he saw that there was still light in the study, and Wu Qiuyuan walked to the door first.

The ghost mother stopped at the foot of the stone steps, and after sniffing the air riders around her with a movement of her nose, she wondered to Chen Ruohu: "Chen Ruo, have you smelled a faint blood around you." ”。

As soon as the words landed, Wu Qiuyuan, who pushed open the door without saying anything, immediately stiffened and stayed in place;

The forbidden army had to order the stride forward and rush into the house, and the ghost mother and the vigilant Chenruo also followed.

When I entered the house, I only felt that the smell of blood was stronger. The ghost mother looked around, but saw that Wu Qiu Shou was lying on the bookcase surrounded by the forbidden army, his eyes were wide open, and blood continued to flow out from the corners of his mouth, which was flowing to the white paper pressed under his head.

"Quickly pass on the ghost doctor. Before the ghost mother could say this, Wu Qiu Shou's body began to turn into powder. And the bookcase on the bookcase, which has not yet been written but is covered with blood, has also become a testament.
