The rolling dark clouds became lower and lower, and the heavens and the earth became much darker.

"Yes. The first generation of the saint was a servant of an ancient god, who was responsible for guarding the Yuque Palace; Julong also surrendered, so he didn't intend to hide anything, nodded and said bluntly: "The title of Holy Maiden was taken by herself after Emperor Xudu killed the gods. Emperor Xudu wooed her many times, but she swore to death and was unwilling to return. Naturally, she knew that Emperor Xudu would definitely not be able to spare her, so she committed suicide after passing on the magic and power strategies she had learned in her life to her disciples. ”。

"Then my father came to the underworld, and Emperor Xudu gave him the title of King of Water, and the fief is the land of these counties today. And the Jade Que Palace, naturally, is also in my father's fiefdom. So he persuaded the second generation of saints to serve him, and set aside a courtyard in a secluded place in the palace for the saints and saints (collectively referred to as the disciples of the saints). The second generation of saints named this courtyard - Su Tianju. Ju Long paused, and then said, "Since then, saints and saints have become a profession to serve the Water King. ”。

"Then how many generations of saints is this now?" Xiao Shizhu turned his head and glanced at the barracks not far behind him, and asked thoughtfully.

"Four generations. Julong blurted out.

"Well, in that case, she is as proficient in scheming and stratagem as the saints of previous generations, right? Otherwise, your father would not have sent her to save you. After thinking about it for a while, Xiao Shizhu asked with a slight chin of his head.

As he spoke, he recalled that when he fought with the Holy Maiden, the other party's method of arranging troops and arranging the formation, concealing the way of the soldiers, and a trace of admiration and appreciation flashed in his eyes.

"Of course. Julong nodded his head and replied with certainty: "Although we have not seen a generation of saints, we have all seen two or three generations of saints." In contrast, they all feel that the four generations of saints are the most intelligent and powerful among the saints of all generations. ”。

"What a ghost. Xiao Shizhu couldn't help but nod his head in praise, and the look of appreciation for the saint maiden also flashed in his eyes, and then it became a little heavier.

The three ghosts stopped talking, Xiao Shizhu continued to catch his fish comfortably, and King Kong and Julong stood behind him and watched quietly.

"The Nine Shadows King. After a while, Julong called lightly and said thoughtfully: "I was in the barracks and saw a lot of soldiers taking wood and stone from the surrounding mountains, what are you going to do?"

The thunder is getting closer and closer, and the sound shakes the world in all directions. The wind is getting stronger and stronger, blowing the ripples on the Thousand Stars Lake, but it can't blow away the light smoke that slowly rises from the lake.

"Of course it's the construction of the city. After Xiao Shizhu replied lightly, he asked rhetorically: "Can't you see it?"

As he spoke, he felt thirsty, so he put the fishing rod in front of him and stuck it on the ground, and after putting the simple fishing rod made of tree branches, he untied the water bag from his waist, unplugged the bag, and took a sip of wine.

"Jiancheng Julong can naturally see it, but he doesn't know what the deep meaning behind the Nine Shadows King is?" Julong looked at the lake in front of him, the fog getting thicker and thicker, and asked with a smile.

"Subtle and thoughtful. When Xiao Shizhu heard this, a trace of astonishment flashed on his face hidden under the hat, and he quickly regained his composure, and he also smiled faintly. But he secretly thought to himself: "It seems that this dragon is not just a second ancestor. ”。

"Julong, in fact, it doesn't have any deep meaning. Xiao Shizhu thought of this, and felt that since Julong had surrendered to sincerity, he also had to be a little sincere, so he also said bluntly: "First, I saw that this place is rich in water and grass, and the land is fertile, and it is a good place to build a city and reclaim it." Second, I am waiting, waiting for your father to surrender, so as to end the war and avoid harming more innocent people. ”。

"Hmm. Julong nodded and thought for a moment, and asked bluntly: "Then the Nine Shadows King must need me to do something, right?" As long as the death of innocent people can be avoided, he will not hesitate.

"Write a letter to your father, and tell you the truth about what you have seen. Xiao Shizhu naturally didn't talk to him politely, and said slowly: "Don't exaggerate, don't hide it, if your father still has a conscience, he won't continue to fight with us." ”。

"It's not difficult, I'll go fix the book in a while. Julong said, a trace of hesitation flashed on his face, and then said: "I'm just afraid that his righteous son, my righteous brother will not accept Juhu and will make trouble again." ”。

"Juhu?" Xiao Shizhu raised a trace of suspicion between his eyebrows, and asked, "I'm in the human world, why haven't I heard of the name of this human soul?"

"He is a human soul born in the underworld, and he is also the adopted son of my father after he came to the underworld, and he is also named Juhu. He is currently the commander of the forbidden army in the Yuque Palace, and is responsible for the security affairs of the Yuque Palace. A trace of anger suddenly flashed in Julong's eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "In recent years, he has won more appreciation and respect from my father because of his decisiveness and ruthlessness, which makes him even more arrogant at the same time, my father is also more and more dependent on him. ”。

Xiao Shizhu heard a trace of jealousy from his words.

"I won't tell you the truth, this time the strategy of moving the people in the coastal areas south and clearing the wilderness is indeed the work of the Holy Maiden. Ju Long paused for a moment, and then added: "But I suspect that the strategy of leaving the old, weak, sick and disabled people to drag down the Xiao family army may be the result of my good brother's painting." ”。

The rain suddenly began to fall, and the autumn rain was like thousands of silver threads, rippling in the air to form a dense curtain of water, moistening the surrounding green mountains, combing the surrounding earth, and rolling up the thicker and thicker green smoke in the lake.

Seeing that Xiao Shizhu was still holding the fishing rod with great interest, King Kong had no intention of returning to the camp, so he took out the umbrella that had been prepared, opened it and raised it to the top of Xiao Shizhu's head.

"In your opinion, what will he do?" Xiao Shizhu waved his hand to signal that King Kong's little rain was not in the way, and asked Julong with great interest.

"Over the years, my father has instructed him to secretly take care of all the affairs of the CCP and the country, so he is also good at assassination and ambush. If he refused, he would have persuaded my father to ambush or assassinate him. After pondering for a long time, Julong thought about it and said: "The assassination is to send someone to assassinate you, or to pretend to surrender to you, and when you arrive in Yuque City, order his killers to assassinate you." ”。

"Hmm. After thinking for a while, Xiao Shizhu nodded thoughtfully and asked, "What about the ambush?"

"If my father surrenders, the King of the Nine Shadows, you will definitely leave the camp and go to Chutian County. And in this Chutian County, although it is a plain terrain, there are also many hills. I once secretly investigated that Juhu, at the behest of my father, had secretly excavated many grottoes on these hills, in hidden places under the bushes, and built bed crossbows and crossbows. He arranged for his spies and credible sergeants to live in the grottoes, and named the grottoes the Dragon Caves. Julong thought back for a moment and continued: "And if there is no mission, the spies and guards in the grotto will never go down the mountain. The first is to keep the spies out of contact with him and ensure that their identities are not revealed. Second, when the battle comes, these dragon caves can become the eyeliner of Yuque City, not to mention, they can also effectively ambush the enemy forces that invade Chutian County. ”。

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Shizhu's calm and calm soul also secretly gasped when he heard it. He had carefully read the "Complete Map of the Ten Continents of the Underworld", and he was already familiar with the geography of the underworld. This Chutian County is naturally no exception.

Therefore, he also knew that although Chutian County was a plain area, it was not uncommon to see hills among the rivers in the county. If what Julong said is true, these hills have been secretly transformed, and they must have formed a solid fortress on the Chutian Plain, a barrier around the outside of Yuque City.

One hill is not to be feared, but hundreds of hills will inevitably be able to drag down the Xiao family's army.

"How do they communicate with each other?" Xiao Shizhu quickly calmed down, and after thinking about it carefully, he remembered that Ju Long mentioned that the spies and guards in the hills would never go down the mountain if they had no mission, so he asked again: "How do you solve the food problem?" ”。

He thought quickly in his mind: "It is absolutely impossible for them not to go down the mountain, and it is said in black and white that the soul will starve to death if it does not eat, so it is certainly impossible for them not to go out of the cave to forage for food." They must have their own secret path down the mountain, could it be a secret path?"

"As far as I know, there are two ways to communicate with each other in the Dragon Cave. It is nothing more than flying pigeons and geese and beacon towers hidden on the hills. Ju Long recalled, "As for food and water, each 'Dragon Cave' has a ghost in charge of procurement. This ghost will travel through the secret passages in the cave to the town or village under the hill to procure. ”。

"In other words, in the towns near the hills, there are also contact points for the Dragon Cave?" Xiao Shizhu said, secretly saying in his heart: "Sure enough, there is a secret passage leading to the outside inside the cave. ”

"Yes. Julong replied affirmatively.

"Do you know which of these hills have dragon caves, and where are the dragon caves?" Xiao Shizhu asked again.

The voice fell, and the water floated and moved. Xiao Shizhu hurriedly calmed down, pulled the fishing rod in his hand and slipped it a few times, and then pulled the fishing rod up with both arms.

When he landed, another big fish weighing several pounds broke through the water and made a splash.

"I only know some of the dragon caves, but not all of them. Julong shook his head a little embarrassed when he heard this, pondered for a moment, patted his head and said: "The construction of this dragon cave is also the saint's strategy, maybe she knows." ”。

"Then you'll have to do it. Xiao Shizhu put the big fish in the fish basket, and after seeing that the fish basket was almost full, he put down the fishing rod, got up and said to the dragon: "In any case, please try to find out all the dragon caves from the holy woman." ”。

"No!" Although Julong didn't know what he was going to do, he still bowed and turned around to do it.

"King Kong, I think what the dragon said is true. Xiao Shizhu stood in place, watching the dragon who disappeared into the rain curtain far away, and said to King Kong: "It seems that we have to make some preparations in advance to prevent it from happening." ”。
