Before the snow melted, the night wind blew down large snowflakes from the mouth of the sinkhole and scattered them into the Yuque Palace.

In the Sencheng Palace, the few laurels that have already bloomed, accompanied by the black snow, have fallen a little bit of fiery red petals, diffusing a faint intoxicating fragrance. This is the case with this laurel, which blooms in winter and is as red as fire, a bright red.

After landing, a little red was dotted on the snow-covered ground.

In the apse, when Yanchen saw Tu Yaoqing's red eyes, his heart suddenly twitched, and his heart was unkind.

It's not that she didn't inquire about this matter for Tu Yaoqing, but from the mouth of the forbidden army guarding at the gate, the answer she got was that Xiao Shizhu was busy with official business, or he was still discussing with the ministers, and he couldn't take a break for the time being.

This sounded like a prevaricating answer, which was cruel to Tu Yaoqing.

When Yanchen didn't know how to answer, thinking about how to make up a reasonable and legitimate reason, and also prevaricated to Tu Yaoqing, the shouts of the forbidden soldiers suddenly came from outside the palace gate: "I've seen the lord." ”。

This shout floated into the hall, Tu Yaoqing's eyes lit up, Huo Ran stood up, and looked in the direction of the door with expectant eyes. And the smoke and dust were also stunned for a while, and they were relieved while being happy.

When she was worried and didn't know what to tell Tu Yaoqing, Xiao Shizhu came, just to relieve her.

Xiao Shizhu's steps passed the palace gate, all the way to the apse and stopped, Xiao Shizhu, who was still worried before the step, stood still in front of the palace door after getting off the step, and finally slowly walked close to the palace.

After entering the hall, the warm current hit, Xiao Shizhu stood in the middle of the main hall, looking around the furnishings in the apse that had been silent for a long time, and did not go towards the bed.

The furnishings in this hall are not bad; the indoor square bricks are on the ground, the ceiling is painted with six Luan birds, and there is a jade landscape figure screen throne in the middle of the depths. A mirror with a special shape and a particularly delicate manufacture is hung on it. The mirror is eight inches wide, and the nose is carved into a winged peacock. Around the mirror nose quadrangle, there are four Luan phoenixes soaring in the clouds, arranged on it according to the direction. There is gossip outside the Quartet. In addition to the gossip, there are rats, cows, snakes, rabbits, horses, sheep, monkeys, chickens, dogs, pigs, etc., which are divided into twelve hours. Outside the twelve hours, there were twenty-four ghost ghosts, which happened to circle the mirror.

It was a mirror that was confiscated from Du Ziren of the Southern Barbarians. Its presence makes the heating all over every corner of the apse is also full of yin air. The ghosts are also refreshed when they are in it.

On the left and right of the throne, the soft fluorescent light emitted from the night pearls dotted on the two five-foot-high coral trees, it can be seen that there is a bamboo-patterned skirt jade partition two zhang outside the throne, and there is a carved magnolia-patterned skirt partition two zhang away from the west side, separating the exquisitely decorated study and the gorgeous bedroom.

After watching for a while, Xiao Shizhu stepped forward and walked straight towards the treasure chair in the middle.

He had just sat on the throne, and Tu Yaoqing walked out of the bedroom, stood in front of him, and slowly made a thousand blessings: "The concubine has seen the king." ”。

The maid Yanchen also followed, and after saluting Xiao Shizhu, she slowly withdrew from the apse, and by the way, asked the guards at the door to close the open hall door from the outside.

After Tu Yaoqing finished saluting, he didn't look up for a long time. Tu Yaoqing, who was nervous and palpitating, had a fluttering cheek, and there was joy in her heart.

"I'm late to discuss with the ministers. Xiao Shizhu looked at her and smiled indifferently after a deep sigh, and then said slowly: "Raise your head, fox princess." ”。

When Tu Yaoqing heard this, she was even more nervous. But he still raised his head slowly after answering, and under the long curly eyelashes, Shui Ling's big eyes and Xiao Shizhu, who was looking at her with interest, looked at each other for a while, and hurriedly lowered his eyes and looked away.

The beauty is in front of him, Xiao Shizhu's heart is like water, but he still pretends to be surprised in his mouth: "Well, the real person is more beautiful than the portrait, and the eyes are much more agile than the portrait." ”。

"The king is lying. When Tu Yaoqing heard this, a trace of loss flashed in his eyes, and he said lightly: "Your heart rate has always been normal, king, if the concubine body is really so beautiful in your eyes, then you should have a fast heartbeat." ”。

Xiao Shizhu was secretly startled, his eyes moved up and down, and after looking Tu Yaoqing up and down again, a faint doubt appeared in his eyes.

"Can you hear my heartbeat?" Xiao Shizhu's face sank instantly, and the prejudice that he had suppressed just now surged from the bottom of his heart.

"I've been like this since I was a child, as long as the demons are within five feet of me, I can clearly hear each other's heartbeats and pulses. Xiao Shizhu's face was gloomy and infiltrating, and Tu Yaoqing's heart suddenly froze, and he hurriedly explained to him: "I can't see a lot of doctors." ”。

"It's better to let go of your prejudices and get along. In Tu Yaoqing's urgent explanation, Xiao Shizhu looked at the horror on her face and the loneliness in her figure, and suddenly recalled what the ghost mother had said to him, and slowly put away the gloom on her face.

Then he beckoned to Tu Yaoqing and said, "You can be a ghost doctor with your ears; other ghost doctors use their hands to check the pulse, you can rely on your ears, and you will know what disease his ghost has when you listen to it." ”。

He was so casually poor that he amused Tu Yaoqing, and it was unintentionally inserted into the willows and willows, and for a while, Xiao Shizhu's prejudice against her had not been completely put down, but Tu Yaoqing, who covered his mouth and smiled, had no prejudice against him.

Then he slowly walked forward, and approached Xiao Shizhu a little.

"Listen to my heart rate right now. After a pause, Xiao Shizhu, who was immediately interested in her peculiar hearing, said again.

He knew that the human soul was without the physical restraint that suppressed the soul qi, and some special abilities would be stimulated. After he came to the Netherworld, he also saw the strange abilities of many human souls. For example, Yingying's perception and so on.

Only this ear can hear his ghost's heartbeat and pulse, it is the first time he has seen it, and he has become interested in this Tu Yaoqing for a while.

"It's still relatively calm. After hearing this, Tu Yaoqing listened attentively, and said softly: "It's just a little happier, for example." ”。

After saying that, he raised his eyes slightly, and secretly glanced at Xiao Shizhu again.

Before she came, she had been curious and imagined what Xiao Shizhu would look like countless times, but she didn't think about it right. The man in front of him, with a tall nose, is full of easy-going jade face, with long eyebrows on both sides, and a pair of star-like bright eyes full of calmness, without the slightest seriousness that a king should have, but between the eyebrows, there is a domineering spirit that looks at the world.

With the calmness in his eyes, it seems that any difficulty can be easily resolved in the eyes of this ghost.

I heard that Xiao Shizhu's ghost age is only in her early thirties, hundreds of years younger than her Tu Yaoqing, but the calmness in her eyes is like the deep water of an ancient well, and she is not alarmed. Tu Yaoqing was suddenly very curious, how did this husband of hers practice such composure?

Xiao Shizhu had already stood up, yawned, and said, "Interesting." With that, Xiao Shizhu bypassed Tu Yaoqing and went straight towards the bedroom.

He and Tu Yaoqing didn't have anything to say, as for the other party's unique ear power, he was no longer interested at this time, and sleepiness hit him, so he simply went to the bed.

Tu Yaoqing hurriedly followed, and after following Xiao Shizhu to the bedside and standing still, he asked timidly: "Is the king sleepy?"

"Hmm. Xiao Shizhu responded.

"The concubine serves the king. Tu Yao said this with a red face and walked around to Xiao Shizhu's side, but Xiao Shizhu's hand had already untied the belt around his waist.

Xiao Shizhu, who took off his belt, raised his head, and then saw Tu Yaoqing who was stunned, and embarrassment appeared between his delicate facial features.

After thinking about it for a while, Xiao Shizhu knew that Tu Yaoqing was embarrassed, so after hurriedly thinking of a so-called legitimate reason, he said bluntly to Tu Yaoqing: "You should know that I am a dog supervisor, right? So I am used to doing these little things of undressing and dressing by myself, and I never need him to serve me, so don't mind about this." ”。

As soon as he finished speaking, the embarrassment on Tu Yaoqing's face was gone, but a pair of tender white hands with slender green jade fingers also put on his placket, and gently helped Xiao Shizhu take off his robe: "From then on, the concubine will serve you." ”。

Tenderness is like water, melting snow and ice. It's not contrived at all.

was so enthusiastic, Xiao Shizhu couldn't refuse, so he simply didn't think about anything, and put down his raised hands and let Tu Yaoqing 'manipulate'.

Looking down at Tu Yaoqing, who was silently undressing him, Xiao Shizhu suddenly felt that although this soul was sent to marry him because of interests, it was not as disgusted as he imagined.

The robe faded, Xiao Shizhu's solid chest was revealed, and at first glance, Tu Yaoqing's heart trembled suddenly. On the chest and abdomen, which was so strong that there was no trace of fat, there were countless scars of different lengths all over the place.

It's like an ugly earthworm spitting out, which is shocking.

Seeing these scars, Tu Yaoqing really couldn't imagine that Xiao Shizhu was such a noble ghost, before that, how many tribulations had he experienced before he made himself and his Nine Shadows Kingdom powerful today......

Qingqiu country, the top of the Qingqiu Fox Cave in the national capital, there is a rectangular flat-topped cave, and its uniqueness is that the upper part of the front wall opens three bright windows.

In the grotto, the rock wall is full of painted murals, all of which are the demon spirits of the Qingqiu fox clan. The shapes are different and lifelike. In the middle of the top of the cave is a horizontal rectangular caisson well, in which two foxes with nine tails, one black and one white, are carved to chase and play with each other on the caisson well.

In the middle of the grotto, there is a stone carved treasure chair, on which sits a lean fox ghost, with nine fluffy fox tails on the back of the thighs.

This fox ghost is the Qingqiu Fox King, the current Lord of the Underworld of the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom.

This fox ghost was dressed in green clothes, and with a pair of slit-like fox eyes, he looked around at the ministers sitting on the left and right. Among those ministers, there are many fox ghosts, but few souls.

Those present were all high-ranking and powerful ministers in Qingqiu Kingdom, and Tu Yaoqing's father, Tu Gongqi, was also among them.

At night, the Qingqiu Fox King himself did not sleep, and gathered the high-ranking and powerful Wenchen generals here, not for anything else, just because the other ghost countries in Dongying Continent began to declare war on the Qingqiu Kingdom today.

Zhu Maichen's coercion and temptation succeeded; in the evening of this day, the guards from all over the border of the Qingqiu Fox Country sent express reports one after another, and the armies of other countries gathered on the border line, preparing to declare war on the Qingqiu Fox Country.

The reason why they didn't attack immediately was that those ghost countries had received a secret report, that is, the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom had formed a family with the Nine Shadows Kingdom.

They didn't want to offend the Northern Yin Dynasty, and they didn't want to provoke the Nine Shadows Kingdom. Over the years, the Nine Shadows Kingdom has destroyed the ghost countries in Xuanyan Continent, and merged Yunmengzhou and Sanmiao, whether it is military or financial strength, it is enough to compete with the Northern Yin Dynasty.

Especially the firearms of the Nine Shadows Country, there is not the slightest. The ghost countries of Dongyingzhou, which besieged and did not attack Qingqiu Country, were afraid of this thing, so they did not attack immediately.
