Under the cloudy sun, the river is sparkling. The Qingqiu Fox King, who was standing on the deck, looked displeased and gloomy, and he turned around and walked away, leaving the deck, and striding into the cabin.

Fox Shidou also followed.

The flotilla continued its journey westward, with green hills on both sides of the river flying past the ships.

The river breeze of the Han River pushes the ships of the fleet and moves quickly in the rivers and mountains.

Outside the cabin window, a beautiful mountain and clear water, thousands of miles of warblers crying, and the smoke and waves are picturesque.

The Qingqiu Fox King, who was sitting by the window, turned his head to look out of the window. But I saw that on the high mountains, in the clouds and mist, there can also be many water on the slopes of the mountains, and the terraced fields are all over the mountains.

The Nine Shadows Kingdom even reclaimed the ridges of the fields to the top of the hillside.

Let the mountains and little land, the 'Jiuqu Ileum' rivers crisscross between the peaks, and the Yunmengzhou is dotted with lakes, which can also become the grain production base of the Jiuyou Country.

He Qingqiu Fox King can occasionally see that on the boundless green grassland at the foot of the mountain on the shore, there is also a pasture enclosed by a fence, in which there are many herbivorous beast spirits.

"King, Xiao Shizhu still can't be underestimated. Fox Shidou, who was standing beside the Qingqiu Fox King, continued: "I heard that in the early years, in order to raise military funds for the conquest of the Quartet, Xiao Shizhu sold all the Ghost Mother Palaces on Shuoyue Island. In addition to some utensils that are handy, even the palace with furniture has been sold to all parts of the world. Actually, you bought one thing before, didn't you?"

"What?" The Qingqiu Fox King had bought too many things, and he couldn't remember for a while, he actually bought things from the Ghost Mother Country.

"It's the pair of cups. Fox Shidou smiled slightly, and said slowly: "The begonia flower-shaped mouth, the oblique belly flare is high, and the bottom is concave in the pair of cups. The center of the cup is embossed with a blooming lotus flower, a total of 14 petals, and the petals are full and blooming. The outside of this pair of quilts is gray, the inside of the cup is decorated with green glaze, and the outer mouth is decorated with green glaze, the glaze is moist and bright, and there is a phenomenon of flowing glaze. In this way, in fact, Xiao Shizhu can conquer the south and the north, and the ghosts who have bought these things in the underworld have merit. ”。

After hearing this, the Qingqiu Fox King pondered for a long time, but he still couldn't remember that there were such artifacts in his palace.

As the Hades King of a big ghost country, a lot of things are bought when they are bought. The Qingqiu Fox King will not delve into the origin and provenance of this thing.

And the income from the sale of these things, Xiao Shizhu did not put it into his pocket. Fox Shidoucai didn't care if the Qingqiu Fox King thought about it, or he couldn't think of it, and continued: "All this money has been used to build the Nine Shadows Kingdom and fight wars. It can be seen that the Nine Shadows King in the past was not selfish, nor was he a human soul with insatiable desires. Such a ghost is terrible as an enemy. ”。

The anger and jealousy of the Qingqiu Fox King had subsided and he had calmed down.

After listening to Fox Shidou's words, the Qingqiu Fox King thought about it carefully, and also felt that although Fox Shidou's words had some meaning of praising Xiao Shizhu, he was very right.

Xiao Shizhu was able to make such a big sacrifice, which was already very human.

Everyone will have selfish desires, but Xiao Shizhu was not tempted in the face of so much money, and resolutely took it out, leaving nothing behind, even the Qingqiu Fox King himself couldn't do it.

Even the Emperor of Xudu on the other side of Xudu may not be able to do it.

"So we're going to be cautious this time. Fox Shidou finally said his thoughts and advice, and said: "We have to observe this Xiao Shizhu, whether it is like what Hu Lan said, he has begun to feel that the world is peaceful and has begun to enjoy himself comfortably." ”。

The Qingqiu Fox King pondered again, and after a long time, he also felt that what Fox Shidou said was reasonable, so he said: "Also, what Hu Lan saw may not be the real Xiao Shizhu. ”。

As he spoke, he frowned slightly.

"Yes, but what Hu Lan saw could also be the real Xiao Shizhu. After the fox Shidou bowed slightly, he continued to admonish the Qingqiu Fox King: "After all, human souls are the same as other ghosts, once they settle down, they will still have the problem of liking to be comfortable." ”。

"I have to say that the king is wise, and the Xiao Shizhu he saw with his own eyes is the real Xiao Shizhu. After a pause, Fox Shidou also hurriedly praised the Qingqiu Fox King beside him, and said: "The minister just thinks that the king, you should not be jealous by the prosperity in front of you, and become not very calm." Otherwise, after you meet Xiao Shizhu, all your judgments will no longer be accurate. Therefore, the minister hopes that the king must remain calm and composed. ”。

After going around such a big circle, Fox Shidou's final admonition turned out to be this.

But when he went around like this, it made the Qingqiu Fox King very happy and gladly accepted Fox Shidou's suggestion.

The Qingqiu Fox King adjusted his mentality slightly, so that after calming down, he was no longer angry, nor did he have any jealousy, and he calmed down completely.

"How long will it take to get to Yuque City?" The Qingqiu Fox King, who had calmed down, no longer looked at the prosperity outside the window.

"I don't know, it should be more than ten days. Fox Shidou couldn't be sure, so he could only give Qingqiu Fox King such an ambiguous answer.

"I want to ......" The Qingqiu Fox King leaned back in his chair and couldn't help but sigh: "Yuque City, as the capital of their Nine Shadows Kingdom, must be even more prosperous and prosperous." ”......

When the Qingqiu Fox King was busy, he went to Yuque City step by step, and Xiaoyu Mountain City also counted the last compensation materials sent by the Beiyin Dynasty.

Unexpectedly, this time the Beiyin Dynasty was not shoddy, it was very reputable, and all the compensation was paid in full, and they were all qualified materials.

And on the side of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, it is naturally very honest.

The ghost official of the Nine Shadows Kingdom lifted Gong Mingyi out of the heavily guarded dungeon and handed it over to the evil ghost generals of the Northern Yin Dynasty.

I haven't seen him for a few months, and Gong Mingyi has changed a lot. Not only did he eat ruddy, but he also really gained weight.

Although Jiuyouguo didn't give him any good looks, he didn't treat Gong Mingyi badly. Three meals a day, three dishes and one soup, that is wine and meat.

There is also a fruit dessert after the meal, and the snack will satisfy your cravings.

In the days when Gong Mingyi was in prison, except for the restrictions on his activities, others, such as eating and drinking, did not treat Gong Mingyi badly.

After all, Xiao Shizhu's purpose was only to exchange Gong Mingyi for some compensation paid by the Beiyin Dynasty, he was not afraid of Gong Mingyi, and he was willing to let the Beiyin Dynasty take Gong Mingyi away.

Therefore, Gong Mingyi has been living well and tastefully in the dungeon of Xiaoyu Mountain City.

This made Gong Mingyi go to prison, but he still gained a lot of weight. The entire ghost's waist and neck are obviously a little bloated.

The ghosts of the Nine Shadows Kingdom raised Gong Mingyi, untied his handcuffs and shackles, and handed over the prisoner Gong Mingyi to the ghosts of the Beiyin Dynasty after signing the document that took Gong Mingyi away.

In this way, the accounts of the Nine Shadows Kingdom and the Northern Yin Dynasty were finally settled temporarily.

Next, the ghosts of the Nine Shadows Kingdom issued an expulsion order to the Beiyin Dynasty.

Now that Gong Mingyi has been handed over to the Beiyin Dynasty, the compensation materials have also been counted. The fleets and fleets of the Northern Yin Dynasty had no reason to stay here.

This place belongs to the sea of the Blind Sea, the sea has been surnamed Xiao, belongs to the sea area of the Nine Hidden Kingdom, and the large naval fleet and fleet of the Northern Yin Dynasty stayed for no reason, which is equivalent to a declaration of war.

The Nine Shadows can destroy these fleets without hesitation.

The ghost general of the Northern Yin Dynasty has no intention of staying. He's here these days, fed up with rolling eyes. This place, he didn't want to stay for a long time.

After receiving Gong Mingyi, he hastily saluted the ghost official of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, and then took Gong Mingyi to leave the top of Xiaoyu Mountain City, went down the mountain, and went towards the northern port.

And the ghost soldiers of the Nine Shadows Kingdom also followed all the way, called escorts, but they were actually surveillance, to monitor them, the generals and soldiers of the Northern Yin Dynasty, as well as Gong Mingyi, arrived at the port safely, and then left the position.

Before the ghosts of Beiyin left, Ji Kang walked out of the mansion slowly.

From beginning to end, he did not have any contact with the ghosts of the Northern Yin Dynasty again. Only now, Ji Kang, who had just shown up, silently looked at the direction of Gong Mingyi's departure and said nothing.

"Alas, the king is too, such a ghost valued by the Northern Yin Dynasty should not be let go. The judge beside Ji Kang sighed and said, "Anyway, this ghost will be reused by the Beiyin Dynasty when he goes back, and it will inevitably go against us in the future, so it's better to kill early than late." If you kill early, you will be able to identify an enemy who is against you early. ”。

"The enemy can never be killed, and the king will not be unclear. Ji Kang continued to look at the mountain road where Gong Mingyi was gone, and behind him, he slowly asked: "Do you think this Gong Mingyi is not a famous general?"

The mountain wind suddenly rose and roared straight up to the top of the mountain, blowing the hem of several of their Nine Shadow Kingdom ghost officials, and rising in the wind.

At this time, the ghost officials around Ji Kang were all survivors of the last defense of Shuoyue Island. Those who survived that fierce battle, no military officials, have more or less accumulated a little battlefield experience.

For evaluating a general, command and training are indispensable. They don't know Gong Mingyi's ability to train troops.

However, they can still see clearly the command ability on this battlefield.

Although Gong Mingyi is not a master, this battle forced the Nine Shadows Kingdom to retreat to Xiaoyu Mountain City, and Shuoyue Island has only Xiaoyu Mountain City and Yuren Village have not been captured, or because Gong Mingyi commanded properly and planned well.

In addition, the Beiyin Dynasty has an overwhelming army, which makes the garrison of the Nine Shadows Kingdom here very embarrassed.

So much so that after the war, Ying Zhao summed up the lessons and lessons at the military meeting, and had to reflect that this battle was the battle between the Jiuyou Army and the Water Tiger outside Shizhu City, as well as the battle between the Ghost Cry Pass and the tree god Huang Zu and Chongshan Pass, the most heavy losses of the tragic victory.

Its tragedy is no less than that of Weishan City, which was attacked by the air raid of the Northern Yin Dynasty.

Ying Zhao is also telling the truth, many of the fortifications and towns on Shuoyue Island that have been in operation for many years have been reduced to ruins in the war and have to be rebuilt after the war.

Some engineering experts even assessed that within five years, it would be difficult for Shuoyue Island to restore the northern border pass and screen protection of the Nine Shadows Kingdom.

If it weren't for the Northern Yin Dynasty, it would also have to recuperate, and I was afraid that if the old book was gone, other ghost countries would take advantage of the weakness and launch a large-scale attack, and the Nine Yin Kingdom would be defeated.

And it will lose even worse.

Maybe, Xiao Shizhu will have to drag his family to escape.

All of this is thanks to Gong Mingyi.

Ji Kang's judge pondered for a moment, and then slowly replied: "It should be considered, it's just that this little ghost is too greedy, and many times his selfish desires are very heavy, and he doesn't know how to choose." If you can change this problem and exercise again, you will definitely be a famous general. ”。

When Ji Kang heard this, he smiled.

In the laughter, there was contempt.

Then he silently turned around and walked towards the ghost behind him.

His scribes, judges, and other officials also turned and followed.

After coming to the main hall of the ghost and sitting down, Ji Kang asked his subordinates to serve tea, and turned his head to look at the bearded judge sitting on the first chair in the lower left.

"You also said, he has those problems, how can he become a famous general. Looking at this thick-bearded judge, Ji Kang said unhurriedly: "A cautious person like Gong Mingyi, this kind of lust for profit can never be changed. ”。

The gloomy main hall was cold, and the yin qi was not light, which also made the ghosts and gods in the hall refreshed.

The bearded judge sat down in his chair and said thoughtfully, "But what if he changes?"

As he spoke, his eyebrows were a little worried.

The worries caused by his assumption are not as reasonable, if he changes his desire for profit, then Gong Mingyi will definitely be a sharp sword for the Northern Yin Dynasty to deal with the Nine Shadows Kingdom.

But Ji Kang listened, but he didn't think so.

"I came from the Beiyin Dynasty to surrender to Cheng, and I know what the temper of Emperor Xudu is. When the ghost officials handed over the hot tea, Ji Kang held his teacup and said to the judge and other ghost officials who were about to drink tea and chat: "He doesn't have a ghost who is familiar with China's tactics, will he definitely reuse this Gong Mingyi? No, he will only ask Gong Mingyi what he knows, about China's tactics and other things, and he will snub Gong Mingyi." ”。

After saying this, Ji Kang snorted lightly, his face showing disdain.

Isn't that how he was abandoned?

Since he was captured, Emperor Xudu has not been interested in him again. However, the Nine Shadows Kingdom was still kind and righteous to him, and even the poison of Wushisan helped him quit. That's why Ji Kang, that's why I'm here to be loyal to the Nine Shadows.

In such a situation, Gong Mingyi is definitely even more cautious. He will continue to be self-interested and continue to be consumed by his lust for profit. Ji Kang can be regarded as having a thorough understanding of the Emperor Xudu in his treatment of ministers and generals, so he continued: "If you put it back, no, Gong Mingyi, who we sent back to the Northern Yin Dynasty, will definitely experience ups and downs in the capital." This makes him still have no chance to become a famous player in the future. ”。

Hearing his words, the judge and the other ghost officials secretly thought about it, and they also felt that it was very reasonable, and they all nodded in agreement.

They all put themselves in their shoes, feeling that if they were sent home and encountered big ups and downs, they would either be depressed and depressed, or they would have invisibly hated the Beiyin Dynasty.

This knot still can't be easily untied.

In this way, Gong Mingyi not only has no chance to become a famous general. Moreover, with the Northern Yin Dynasty and the Emperor Xudu, it will be possible to have a gap.

In the future, there will be no such thing as one heart and one mind.

"High, this trick is high. Thinking of this, the bearded judge hurriedly put down the teacup in his hand and said happily: "My lord, this trick is really high, and if you do this, you will only get a waste." At least for most of our generals, Gong Mingyi is no longer a threat. And we will continue to change the tactics, he knows the current tactics, but he may not know the future. ”。

"Yes, that's the master's cleverness. Ji Kang took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, squinted and smiled, and said with a little smugness: "So he insisted on getting compensation, and sent Gong Mingyi back to the Beiyin Dynasty safe and sound." ”。

It's not a big deal that they speak so freely.

It's no secret anymore, anyway, the wood has been completed, the treaty has been signed, and Beiyin has completed the settlement of the Beiyin Dynasty.

Even if Emperor Xudu knew the truth of this matter, he could only suffer a dumb loss.

Moreover, Gong Mingyi, who was sent back by the Nine Hidden Kingdoms, if Emperor Xudu knew that Gong Mingyi might have a gap with him because of this, he would have to take great pains to guard against it.
