If the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom had the firearms of the Nine Shadow Kingdoms, then those ghost countries would definitely not dare to attack. And these young Qiu countries have not been idle, they have conquered the west in the east of Dongyingzhou, and even captured dozens of ghost cities in Dongyingzhou, and they have also beaten the surrounding ghost countries with psychological shadows.

If there were no such fears, the ghost soldiers of those ghost countries would have crossed the border without hesitation, burning, killing and looting the counties of Qingqiu Fox Country.

The wind howled and blew into the grotto, shaking the candles in the grotto.

Under the shaking firelight, the Qingqiu Fox King stared at his pair of small slit eyes, which were impossible to open no matter how round they were, and looked around at the ministers under him, either seeing sad faces, or nervous and fearful looks.

These ministers who were bold and shrewd in the past instantly became useless in an instant after learning the news that the ghost kingdoms had gathered millions of ghost armies to suppress the realm tonight.

After looking around, I only saw Tu Yaoqing's father, Tu Gongqi, with a calm face and a comfortable face. Under the light of the candle flame, there was no fear or panic in his eyes.

"Tu Gongqi. The Qingqiu Fox King, who had nine tails, fixed his eyes on the face of this human soul with round eyes and thin eyebrows, square lips and a thin black beard, and asked curiously: "Aren't you afraid of the army pressing the realm?"

The fox king's slightly hoarse voice echoed in the cave, and the other ministers also turned their heads and looked at Tu Gongqi.

I saw this soul holding the wat in both hands, slowly walked out of the queue, stood in the middle of the two classes of ghost officials, and after bowing respectfully to the Qingqiu Fox King, he straightened his waist and raised his head, stared at the Qingqiu Fox King on the high platform in the depths, and said slowly: "The minister has nothing to worry about." ”。

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the grotto. The ghosts present were even more curious, why was this Tu Gongqi so calm? Could it be that he had already repaired his retreat and could take refuge in the Nine Shadows Kingdom?

"The armies of the various ghost countries in the continent are pressing, although they are menacing, but they are strong from the outside. Under the curious and incomprehensible gaze of the ghosts, Tu Gongqi turned a blind eye to it, but paused for a moment, then looked at the Qingqiu Fox King who was high above, and said slowly thoughtfully: "But they each have their own needs, and in this case, it is difficult to unite. And they don't have a unified dispatch and command, they must fight their own battles, which is a hard fist, but they are all scattered into five fingers, so what's the fear?"

The tone was still unhurried and unhurried, very gentle, and there was not the slightest fear or surprise in it, but a faint disdain.

It seems that the Suppression Army mentioned in the Express is nothing more than a series of numbers in Tu Gongqi's opinion, and there is nothing to be afraid of.

But it has to be said that this person's soul sees the problem accurately, and the analysis is also in one sentence. Although Emperor Xudu's plan is good, he ignores one point, because of his secret provocation, the ghost countries are already estranged from each other, and the ghost armies of all countries will not obey the control of other countries, and will even fight for the spoils of war. Even if there were millions of ghost armies gathered together, it would be scattered, and there was nothing to be afraid of.

It's nothing more than a thunderstorm and a little rain.

After hearing this, the Qingqiu Fox King lowered his head slightly and groaned slightly, and also felt that his words were reasonable, so he asked again: "Then according to you, how to deal with them?"

The candle flame swaying in the wind brings a flickering shadow. Tu Gongqi suddenly said nothing, and the grotto fell into a deep silence as he pondered.

It wasn't until a long time later that he slowly spoke again: "For now, the only way to do this is to break them one by one." It is difficult first and then easy, so as to shock the ghost country that sent troops. ”。

When these words came out, a serious look flashed in Tu Gongqi's eyes.

Immediately afterwards, he said: "At the same time, send a ghost minister who can act as a ghost envoy to ask for help from the Nine Shadows Kingdom, and ask the Nine Shadows King to send reinforcements as an ally. Of course, our country should bear the food and grass for the expedition of the Nine Shadows Kingdom to reinforce the army. ”。

"And the King of the Nine Shadows has always hoped to have a place in the Nine Shadows Kingdom in Dongying Continent, so as to cut off the channel for the Northern Yin Dynasty to collect grain from the continent, and he will not let go of this great opportunity. Tu Gongqi's face was still calm, and he was still not in a hurry to speak: "As long as the Jiuyou National Army enters Dongying Continent, then the pressure on our country will naturally be much less." ”。

"It's up to you. The Qingqiu Fox King, who was full of interest when he heard this, stretched his brows, his long beards trembled on both sides of his cheeks, and he was so excited that Huo Ran got up, looked around at the ghosts under him, and said loudly: "From now on, the whole army will enter a state of combat readiness, and officials at all levels will perform their duties and must not be passive and slack off. ”。

The fox king is not an illiterate faint king, after listening to Tu Gongqi's suggestion, he just thought about it a little, and knew that only by doing the two suggestions put forward by Tu Gongqi would the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom not destroy the country, so he agreed to Tu Gongqi's proposal without hesitation.

"No. The ghosts hurriedly held the wat and bowed slowly to the Qingqiu Fox King. Since the king has already made a decision, and Tu Gongqi's analysis is reasonable and well-founded, and the suggestion is also the best policy, they have not refuted it.

"Tu Gongqi. The Qingqiu Fox King, who paused, once again fell on Tu Gongqi's face.

"The minister is here. Tu Gongqi, who held the wat in both hands, lowered his head slightly in response.

"You take the risk of going to the Nine Shadows Kingdom and have a good talk with your good son-in-law, the King of the Nine Shadows. As long as he is willing to send troops and does not shrink the king's fiefdom, all conditions can be agreed to him. The Qingqiu Fox King thought about it for a while, and felt that it was better to hand over the heavy responsibility of this ghost envoy to Tu Gongqi.

As the saying goes, don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, no matter how ruthless Xiao Shizhu, the king of the Nine Shadows, is, and what about Tu Yaoqing, the concubine whose interests are bound, Tu Gongqi is his father-in-law Taishan after all, Xiao Shizhu should always give this ghost a little thin face.

"No, the minister will definitely live up to his mission, even if he breaks his head against the Nine Shadows King, he will ask for reinforcements. Tu Gongqi, who bent down and bowed his head, replied slowly, but his eyebrows couldn't help frowning......

In the Yuque Palace of the Nine Secluded Kingdoms, whether it is a spectacular palace or a delicate pavilion, there are white silk and black cloth hanging high, and plain white paper flowers are hung on the eaves and corners. In front of each palace gate, a spirit flag was erected.

For the living, no matter how you look at it, this kind of dress is full of bad luck and weirdness. But for the ghosts in the Netherworld, this is the most festive costume, and it can only be seen on Halloween.

After the ice and snow melted, there was no depression in the Juexiang Garden, the courtyard was full of birds and songs, and the towering butterfly trees planted in the corners of the courtyard grew lush flowers and leaves in the severe cold wind. The flowers bear fruit, and each one is bright and red like fire. There is a flowing spring dingdong on the rockery under the tree, and the ghost mist is shrouded under the rockery, and the strange flowers and plants in the fog are rarely withered and yellow, and the leaves are mostly green and bright.

The palace people came in and out, so lively. They put plates of steaming delicacies from the mountains and seas, dragon liver and phoenix gallbladder, into the Longwei Pavilion hung high on plain white curtains, and slowly retreated.

It is another year of winter solstice, and the ghosts in the underworld are carnivaling. After handling government affairs and holding a year-end summary meeting for the ministers, Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother decided to set up a family banquet, and the family was happy and relaxed.

The stove on the four sides of the Longwei Pavilion was lit, and a round table was disposed of in the middle, on the table were steamed dragon liver roasted phoenix wings, braised Tai Sui cold salad shredded green pork, as well as the soft fried deer loin and stir-fried hundred tongues and bird tongue, as well as melons and fruits such as dragon liver melon, and the fragrance of lotus flowers, fragrant and cold as ice, all of them are delicacies with color, fragrance and flavor.

seems to be luxurious, but in fact, compared with the Emperor Xudu, who is far away on Luo Yu Mountain and eats hundreds of dead boys and women every Halloween Festival, Xiao Shizhu's family banquet is much shabby.

On the throne of the main seat, Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother sat side by side on the throne, and there was a small chair on the right side, but there were no ghosts sitting on it. And sitting on the left and right sides below them are Lai Yueqi and the restrained fox Ji.

There are also Ying Zhao and Ying'er, Qin Yuan, who went to Beijing to report to work, and Lu Wu, who has been working in the DPRK and China, also sat on the left and right. They are all brothers of the opposite sex who worshipped Xiao Shizhu, and every time during the winter solstice, as long as Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother are in the city, they are indispensable to set up a family banquet.

Of course, if Shi Cassia is also there, there is also a place for him at this table.

The ghosts talked and laughed, but Tu Yaoqing was silent, and it was difficult for her to interject what the other ghosts said, but it seemed that she was like an outsider. If it weren't for the ghost mother and Lai Yueqi who often took the initiative to talk to her, I was afraid that Tu Yaoqing would be even more embarrassed at this table.

Xiao Shizhu and Yingzhao Lu Wu pushed the cup to change the lamp for a while, and the bronze five-cooked kettle in the middle of the table (a kind of three-legged hot pot, that is, a pot with several grids, can cook a variety of different foods at the same time, and today's "mandarin duck pot", can be said to have the same effect. The broth is tumbling and gurgling.

Xiao Fuling, who came back from class in the school palace, strode to the pavilion with big flowers, and shouted as soon as she entered the pavilion: "Mother, it's cold outside today, is there any hot soup?"

"Ahem. The ghost mother coughed lightly, glared at Xiao Fuling, who sat down on the small chair next to her, and said angrily: "There are no rules, the elders are here, you should salute first." ”。

When the words fell, Xiao Fuling got up with a smile, first said hello to her father and mother, and then saluted Lai Yueqi, who was smiling and groaning, and then saluted Lu Wuying and Ying'er Qinyuan, after all saluting, she turned her head to look at the fox Ji beside her, and a trace of hostility flashed in her eyes.

"Who is this?" Xiao Fuling, who knew that it was her father's little wife, looked the fox who was stared at by her for a while, and deliberately pretended to be stupid: "Why are you so blind?"

"Xiao Pori!" As soon as Xiao Poria came up, she confronted Tu Yaoqing's rivalry, making the ghost mother's anger flash on her face. The ghost mother, who was snorting angrily, opened her eyes with anger and stared straight at her daughter.

She also knew that her daughter was deliberately fighting for her, but she didn't want her daughter to be so uneducated. But Xiao Fuling turned a blind eye to her mother's angry face, and she didn't care about the ghost mother's scolding, still smiling lightly.

"I've seen Lord Weng. At this moment, Tu Yaoqing, who was like a submissive little daughter-in-law, gave Xiao Lingbi a respectful salute first.

She knew a little that Xiao Shizhu was very fond of this owner, and in the past, she was afraid of losing it in her hand and afraid of it in her mouth. Tu Yaoqing, who is a concubine, never dares to offend Xiao Fuling, the 'aunt'.

"Poria, this is your little mother, Fox Ji. Xiao Shizhu didn't get angry, but said calmly to Xiao Fuling, which can be regarded as relieving Xiao Fuling and giving her daughter a step down.

"I see. Xiao Fuling pretended to be suddenly enlightened, and after saying a few words lightly, she turned to the fox and said, "It turns out that you are the fox girl who my father married back; ”。 As he spoke, he sat down on his own after a hasty salute, and then said, "Fox Ji, why do you say that your father is willing to marry you so far?"
