In the wind and rain, although the mountain was not shrouded in rain and fog, there was still dripping water under the canopy.

King Yama sat in the hall of his military palace, staring at the messenger guards in front of him, and fell into deep thought.

Above the lobby, under the bright and soft light emitted by the lit centipede beads, the tightly knit brow of the Yama King could be seen, making his dark face full of serious expressions even more terrifying.

Fortunately, the guard in front of him was already familiar with King Yama.

Therefore, the guard did not feel any palpitations at the face and facial features of King Yama.

This guard stood quietly opposite the king of Yama, waiting for the other party to decide what to do with the soul of the Tu Shan clan who claimed to know the source of the disease.

The wind outside the lobby is howling one after another. On the crown of the big tree standing between heaven and earth on the top of the mountain, the droplets of water that continued to drip fell to the ground, dripping on the roofs of various buildings under the big tree, and the wind made a continuous crackling sound.

In the dim world, the shadows cast by the vast canopy are full of oppression.

King Yama, who was sitting in the main hall, was a little anxious after being puzzled, and couldn't help but snort impatiently.

Speaking of which, King Yama has long heard of the ambitions of the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom. In addition, during this recent period, Xiao Shizhu gave him the permission to read all the secret reports of the Qingqiu Fox Country, allowing him to clearly see the huge ambition of the Qingqiu Fox Country, and knew that the ambition of the Qingqiu Fox Country was no longer speculation.

The Qingqiu Fox Kingdom is indeed secretly actively preparing for a war with the Nine Shadows Kingdom, with the aim of driving the Nine Shadows Army out of the East Yingzhou region through this battle, and at the same time dividing the world with the Nine Shadows Kingdom and the Northern Yin Dynasty.

And the fox ghosts of the Tu Shan clan and the Qingqiu Fox Country, for thousands of years, have been 'like glue', it can also be said that they are embarrassed, and the two ghost clans often cooperate together sincerely because of their common interests, and the alliance has been stable for a long time, which is something that the ghosts in the world know.

At this time, suddenly the soul of the Tu Shan clan who claimed to recognize the source of the plague in Dushuo Mountain suddenly visited, and the king of Yama was a question mark in his head, and he couldn't accurately judge the purpose of the other party's coming here, was it as the Tu Shan clan soul said, that is, to tell him what the source of the disease was?

But then again, after thinking about it, King Yama still felt that if he didn't see the soul of this Tu Shan clan, it would be impossible to know what kind of medicine was sold in the other party's gourd?

"Let's see it first. Thinking of this, King Yama, who was no longer entangled, slowly stretched his brows, but his face was still full of solemnity.

King Yama, who was not good at smiling, said to the guards with a straight face: "Go and bring this Tushan clan's soul, but don't let him know that there is a plague here." ”。

"Understood. The guard immediately understood, nodded and said, "Just take him away from the places where those soldiers live and isolate." ”。

Finally, when the king of Yama heard this, he looked at the guards and smiled.

However, King Yama's smile was still so stiff, and with his stiff facial features, he always looked weird.

The guard didn't think it was strange, and nodded before turning away.

After all, they have been working with King Yama for a long time, and they all know that King Yama is a ghost who can't laugh by nature, so naturally they won't mind.

After the guards left, King Yama picked up his teacup, took a sip of tea, and fell into deep thought again.

Recently, he has seen a lot of information, and he knows that the relationship between the Tu Shan clan and the Qingqiu fox ghosts is only very good on the surface. Speaking of which, the Qingqiu fox ghost has long regarded the Tu Shan clan as an abandoned child and a waste that cannot be reused.

The reason is that when the Nine Shadows Army first arrived here, the rebellion and rebellion of the Tu Shan clan made this generation of Qingqiu Fox King vaguely feel that the Tu Shan clan, who had been unscrupulous for too long, was a threat.

Later, there was another incident in which Tu Gongqi secretly instructed his subordinates to poison Xiao Poria in an attempt, and Tu Yaoqing fell to death Xiao Shizhu's youngest daughter, which made the Qingqiu Fox King have to abandon the Tu Shan clan.

The ghost officials of the Tushan clan in the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom were demoted and demoted in batches, or assigned to do idle errands. In less than a quarter, the Qingqiu Fox King set aside the Tu Shan clan, leaving them without real power in the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom.

It's just that in the eyes of outsiders, the two clans are still like glue.

But there are already signs of a breakdown in the relationship.

If this Tushan clan soul who risked his life to cross the border and enter the realm of the Nine Shadows Country was because of some estrangement and hatred between him and the Qingqiu fox ghost, he came to defect. Then he wants to tell the king of Yama what the source of the illness is, and solve the urgent need of the king of Yama, which is understandable.

It's just that King Yama thought about it, and he still felt that it was better not to get straight to the point as soon as he saw the other party. It is best to deceive this Tu Shan clan's soul, and see the other party's purpose before making a conclusion.

Even if the plague is now imminent, the king of Yama does not intend to be frizzy and rush to attack.

The more times like this, the more he demands stability.

It was precisely because of his calm style that Xiao Shizhu dared to hand over the army to him to command with confidence.

Don't look at the appearance of King Yama is five big and three coarse, his facial expression is serious all year round, and he is very majestic, but it is really Zhang Fei's embroidery - thick and fine.

Otherwise, he would not have been able to be a ghost official of Hades for thousands of years in a place like the Northern Yin Dynasty where the dark tide was turbulent and the plots were continuous.

King Yama, who was waiting for the soul of the Tu Shan clan, calmed down a bit, and didn't think too much about it for the time being, but picked up the teacup in his hand and drank tea leisurely.

Outside, the clouds were still low and thick. The heavens and the earth are dark, and the light is so rare.

The wind carries the rain, and the rain carries the wind, whistling and whistling away.

The sound of the waves crashing against the coastal reef is tirelessly accompanied by the sound of rain in the wind, noisy and lively.

The main hall of the military palace is deep and wide, and it is naturally quieter. The noisy sound of wind and rain made it difficult to drift into the depths of the main hall.

King Yama, who was sitting in the depths of the main hall, sat quietly in the depths of the main hall, and after drinking tea slowly for a long time, he saw the figure of a guard who had been gone for a long time outside the hall.

Behind the guards, followed a Tu Shan soul with gray hair, wrinkled face, and disheveled clothes.

This soul is Tu Gongjing, who escaped death a few days ago.

Perhaps because the wounds on his body had not completely healed, Tu Gongjing's face was still bloodless and a little pale. The whole ghost body is full of weakness and exhaustion, and he walks slowly, not fast, and his pace is still a little staggering.

However, Tu Gongjing's eyes always lingered with angry rage.

Behind Tu Gongjing, there were also two ghost soldiers, although Tu Gongjing was not handcuffed or tied with ropes, but these two guards kept following Tu Gongjing closely and did not fall a step.

The eyes that were shooting vigilantly were always focused on Tu Gongjing, and they didn't dare to relax in the slightest, a little like a big enemy.

However, the king of Yama felt that this was not necessary.

When the guards came in, they stood in front of King Yama and gave him a nod of their heads, indicating that he had done everything that King Yama had told him, including making Tu Gongjing ignorant of the plague in this place.

"Handsome, people have brought it. Then the guard bowed his hand to the king of Yama.

The bright main hall King Yama nodded, looked at Tu Gongjing beside the guards, and said bluntly, "Report yourself." ”。

"Handsome, contemptible Tu Gongjing. Tu Gongjing, who was still angry in his eyes, bowed respectfully to the king of Yama and said: "Elder of the Tu Shan clan, the brother of the former patriarch of the Tu Shan clan, Tu Gongjing, and the uncle of your country's fox Ji Tu Yaoqing. ”。

I was also a little weak to speak, and I was very weak because of my lack of strength.

However, he was very respectful to King Yama, and it was obvious that the anger in his Tu Gongjing's eyes was not aimed at King Yama and the Nine Shadows Kingdom.

This made King Yama, who was still full of solemnity on his face, secretly feel a little curious in his heart, wondering what this Tu Gongjing was angry about?

"Remind you, there are no more fox queens in our country. King Yama motioned to the guards, and after serving tea to Tu Gongjing, he said to this Tu Gongjing: "Not long ago, the lord cut her title, and now only Tu Yaoqing is a prisoner. ”。

It was also for Tu Gongjing's very weak sake, otherwise King Yama would not have planned to invite him to sit down.

"I remember, Hu Lan's son instigated Tu Yaoqing, who gave birth to an heir for the king of your country, and fell to death the little master, so he was cut off his title. Tu Gongjing, who was just on the right in front of King Yama, was not surprised by King Yama's words, nodded with a flat face and said unhurriedly: "It's me who lost my words." ”。

The anger in his eyes did not diminish either.

And the two soldiers who looked at Tu Gongjing continued to stand behind him inch by inch.

Tu Gongjing's words made King Yama secretly shocked in his heart.

It wasn't that Tu Gongjing knew about Tu Yaoqing's removal of his title, and he was surprised. This matter is no secret now, it should be said that it has been no secret since the day the ghost mother tried Tu Yaoqing.

King Yama was surprised that Tu Gongjing actually knew that Hu Qingyun was secretly instigating Tu Yaoqing to commit murder and evil.

This is also a top secret in the Nine Shadows Kingdom, which is absolutely secret.

If King Yama hadn't been given the privilege of reading the information of the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom by Xiao Shizhu, he wouldn't have known about it.

His face did not change, but after a short period of secret surprise in his heart, he held his teacup and scraped the tea powder in the cup with the quilt lid leisurely, and asked Tu Gongjing in a calm tone: "Then you came all the way here just to tell me about it, right?"

"Of course not. Tu Gongjing, who took the hot tea and thanked the tea guards, did not rush to taste tea to quench his thirst, opened his chapped lips again, and tirelessly explained to the king of Yama: "Maybe your guards did not report it to you, but the purpose of my visit is only to tell you what is the source of the plague that is breaking out here, and where is it?"

"Is there a plague here?" King Yama, who was slightly stunned, looked at his guards with inquiring eyes, and pretended to be stupid and said, "Why haven't I heard of it." ”。

The guard also immediately understood, and after pretending to be slightly stunned and thinking about it seriously, he said thoughtfully: "No, just a few soldiers ate a little more a few days ago and pulled their stomachs for a few days." ”。

The king of Yama and his guards who get along day and night cooperate tacitly. The expression is also very natural and in place.

If Tu Gongjing hadn't known the truth of the facts, he would have really believed their nonsense.

But without this, if it weren't for and if, Tu Gongjing would know the details of the whole thing.

"Hahaha. Tu Gongjing, who put down the teacup at the moment, laughed loudly and coughed a few times, the smile on his face did not decrease, and the anger in his eyes also dissipated at this moment, he turned to the king of Yama and said: "Lord Yama, don't fool me, how did your plague come about? What is the situation? and I know exactly where the source of the disease is." ”。

After a pause, Tu Gongjing put away his smile and said, "I came with sincerity, and I hope that King Yama will not live up to my sincerity." ”。

Hearing this, King Yama carefully looked at Tu Gongjing's face.

The other party's face looked serious and serious, and his eyes were not erratic, and he had been firmly facing the Yama King, without fear or fear, but he couldn't hide the anger that was still hidden in his eyes.

It didn't look like a lie or a lie, but it made King Yama confused again for a while.

Before, he was still suspicious of the other party's purpose for coming here, but now he is not suspicious, and the king of Yama already has some other parties who may really know some inside information.

It's just that, what is the purpose of how Tu Gongjing does it?

King Yama, who was confused for a while, was also puzzled and fell into deep thought.

After thinking for a while, King Yama remembered that this plague did come suddenly and inexplicably, and there must be a lot of hidden secrets in it. Since Tu Gongjing has said it, he is here to report the hidden situation, why don't you listen to what Tu Gongjing will say?

But before that, King Yama still has to deceive the other party.

Thinking of this, King Yama raised his eyes again, looked at Tu Gongjing, who did not urge him, and patiently tasted tea, and asked, "Why are you telling me these things?"

After saying this, King Yama then said: "You are the elder of the Tushan clan, don't say that the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom and our country are allies, and you only came here because of the friendship in this regard." If that's the case, at least you won't be so embarrassed, and you should have the talisman given to you by the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom, right?"

Speaking of this, King Yama looked Tu Gongjing up and down again.

The other party did not look like an envoy from the Nine Shadows Kingdom at all, not only did he not have an entourage or guard, but he was also dressed in tattered clothes and had a lot of dirt.

And between the muddy water on the sleeves, you can faintly see mottled thirsty blood. Coupled with the other party's demeanor and the weakness of qi when he spoke, King Yama, an experienced commander on the battlefield, could predict that Tu Gongjing would have been injured before he had done so.

But since the other party is already injured, why don't they go to heal their wounds? Instead, they came here with their injuries, which is also what King Yama is very curious about.

Seeing that Tu Gongjing put down the teacup and was about to speak, King Yama opened his mouth again and asked first: "I need a reasonable reason." ”。

Seeing that he still didn't trust himself and wasn't angry, Tu Gongjing nodded back: "The reason is very simple, I want to take revenge on the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom." ”。
