The sun was shining, and the east hall of the Heavenly Palace was bright.

The ghost officials under Lu Wu, after arranging everything in the room, lit the incense in the incense burner in the corner of the room and withdrew without saying a word.

At the same time, the ghost officials in the yamen also arranged for four forbidden troops of the Nine Shadows Kingdom to stand guard outside the gate of the East Hall.

It's not that I'm afraid that the fox Shidou in the house will do something stupid to threaten Lu Wu, but just to let irrelevant idlers not come here to join in the fun after the meeting starts, and disturb the talks inside.

Inside the house, Fox Shidou's clever tongue was like a spring, and he didn't say anything about Lu Wu.

After listening to this, Lu Wu had a calm face, and without saying a word, among the agreements drafted by the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom, there was an agreement about the Nine Shadows Kingdom assisting the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom to improve its combat strength, and he did not hesitate to pull it out: "If you don't talk about these things today, even if you want to talk, it won't be our turn to talk about the two ghosts." ”。

After taking away that part of the agreement, the stack of agreements that Fox Shidou had originally handed to Lu Wu was instantly reduced by one-third.

"That's all we're going to talk about today. Lu Wu, who put down the agreements in his hand, picked up the agreements he had drawn out, and slowly tore them apart one by one in front of the envoys of the Qingqiu Fox Country such as Fox Shidou.

The scribe who came in immediately swept all the shredded paper out of the house.

Lu Wu's decisiveness and toughness made Fox Shidou and several of them from the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom surprised for a while, and they couldn't help but open their lips slightly, looking at Lu Wu's eyes full of surprise.

At the same time, for the first time, Fox Shidou secretly sighed in his heart, maybe sometimes a mouth that can speak well may not be invincible in the world.

"Lord Lu Wu, don't you have to report these things to the Nine Shadows King?" Immediately after, Fox Shidou asked in surprise.

"No, I don't. As soon as Lu Wu waved his hand, a smile appeared on his originally calm face again, and he said lightly: "My lord left me down to ask me to take full authority to deal with this matter." Today, this ghost ya, in this house, Lu can have the final say about the Nine Shadows Kingdom. ”。

From the smile to the tone, there is arrogance hidden in the pride.

When Hu Shidou heard this, he felt very uncomfortable, and then looked at Lu Wu's smug look with a smile on his face, and a burst of anger surged in his heart.

It's just that it was quickly suppressed in the bottom of my heart and didn't fully explode.

It can also be seen that there is still Xiao Shizhu in the Nine Shadows Kingdom, if Xiao Shizhu is gone, Lu Wu must be the first to stir up the wind and clouds, or the ghost who is straightforwardly reversed.

And Fox Shidou didn't want to provoke a dispute right away, let alone offend Lu Wu right away, so after weighing it for a while, he nodded silently, then held back his anger, and gave in: "Okay, then let's talk about these first." ”。

After saying this, Fox Shidou slowly calmed down.

The corners of his mouth also rose slightly, and he smiled at Lu Wu.

But Fox Shidou also saw it immediately, and the smug look on Lu Wu's face became more serious and obvious.

The two ghosts also tacitly stopped mentioning what happened just now, and Lu Wu was not cheap and behaved, but after each holding a teacup and saluting each other, he drank tea silently.

After a while, some officials and scribes of the Nine Shadows Kingdom came in one after another and took their seats one by one.

After the officials and scribes of the Nine Shadows Kingdom had arrived, Lu Wu passed the agreements at hand to his colleagues and said, "You can pick some of them out first and talk about them today." Leave the rest for tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. ”。

Fox Shidou had already seen Lu Wu's domineering, and now he had to accept his fate and remain silent, let Lu Wu arrange it himself, and did not intervene, looking for boredom.

The officials of the Nine Shadows Kingdom also seemed to have received a sacred order, and they did not dare to be sloppy or sloppy, and took a serious look at the agreement drafted by the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom.

The scribes had sharpened their ink, pressed the paper with a paperweight, and were ready to begin taking notes of the entire council.

"I think this can be talked about first. ”

After a long time, a ghost official of the Nine Shadows Kingdom handed Lu Wu an agreement and said, "There is an agreement on dredging the rivers connecting the two countries and building a reservoir lake in Dongyingzhou, which is conducive to the agricultural development and disaster prevention of our two countries. ”。

Lu Wu took it in his hand, and after carefully reading the content of the agreement, he also agreed with the suggestion of his colleague, nodded and looked at Fox Shidou, then looked down at the agreement in his hand, and said, "Okay, let's talk about this matter first." The agreement proposes that China should send all the water experts and professional craftsmen, and your country should bear all the labor, and these officials are quite in favor of it. However, it is indeed inappropriate for the cost to be shared equally between the two countries. ”......

Xiao Shizhu chased the prey in high spirits on the hunting ground, showing the majesty of the hunting ground. Lu Wu negotiated alone in the Yuque Palace, acting decisive and tough. At the same time, the spring cold in Dongyingzhou ushered in the first battle he commanded in his life.

After dawn, the coalition general Xuanmu led his troops to the north entrance of the Shengyi Valley.

However, Xuanmu did not immediately attack, but first set up camp in the distance, and then let the military kitchen light a fire to cook, and fed every soldier of his army first.

When everything was done, it was past noon.

The sky on this side of the valley was cloudy, and the light rain continued to fall.

The rain curtain shrouded between heaven and earth also blurred the vision of the armies on both sides.

The coalition forces at the northern entrance of the Shengyi Valley have begun to prepare for battle.

After inspecting the ballistas and trebuchets, the infantry opened the way and marched towards the valley.

This was followed by bulky ballista carts, trebuchets and nest carts and other siege equipment.

On the steep hillside, the soldiers of the Nine Shadows Kingdom did not hold on, let alone fear. One by one, they entered the makeshift fortifications on the hills, into the trenches and the batteries on the cliffs, and took up their positions in various places.

Looking through the crosshairs on the guns and looking at the mountain, I saw that the ghost aura was overflowing in the rain and fog on the mountain, and the fierce murderous aura was constantly spewing out from it.

A group of ghost soldiers in red robes were like a sea of fire falling in the rain and mist, each holding a sword and gun to the mouth of the valley and quickly split into two, towards the peaks and mountains on both sides of the valley, launching a high-spirited charge.

In the sound of wind and rain, the shouts of killing and the sound of war drums and horns continued to sound and were deafening.

The rain that landed in mid-air was shaken by these loud sounds.

The Nine Shadows Army in the trenches on the mountain, in these loud and noisy sounds, silently put a knife on the muzzle of the gun in his hand, and then tightened the body of the gun.

"Hit when you get closer, hit when you get closer. "The officers of the Nine Shadows on the battlefield, regardless of size, all hooked their waists and shuttled between the trenches with their bodies low, quickly spreading this numerology to every soldier, and also giving them more courage and faith.

Half an hour later, the soldiers of the vanguard of the coalition army had already rushed halfway up the mountainside and entered the range of the firearms of the army of the Nine Shadows Kingdom.

A bearded veteran on the battlefield, raised his hand, wiped a handful of raindrops on his face, and then looked at the front sight at the top of the gun with the fire gun in his hand.

Then, his gaze used this as a benchmark, and he looked farther away, landing on the eyebrows of a coalition soldier in front of him.

The next second later, the veteran was the first to pull the trigger.

With a bang, the muzzle of the firebolt spewed out a scorching tongue of gunfire, and a reddish sub-gun burst out.

The gun sprang forward, as fast as lightning, and flew towards the targeted coalition soldier.

In the blink of an eye, the coalition soldier's eyebrows bloomed, and his flesh burst backwards, falling to the muddy hillside.

Guns erupted from all sides of the trenches, and gunfire rang out one after another in the rain.

With the courage and anger of the army of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, one by one, they shot like the ghost soldiers of the coalition army still charging on the hillside.

Vast swaths of the enemy's troops, under the sound of gunfire, fell one after another like wheat and rice that had been cut down.

But the large number of casualties in this moment did not frighten the coalition forces, and they were still desperately charging towards the top of the mountain. At the same time, the trebuchets at the bottom of the mountain, which had been preparing for a long time, were also throwing boulders and scattered stones towards the mountain.

After a burst of roaring sounds, stones of different shapes in the wind and rain crossed arcs one after another, and smashed into the position of the Nine Shadows Kingdom on the mountainside.

Stones fell to the ground, mud splashed.

Fortified positions, trenches were riddled with holes under heavy stone blows.

The soldiers of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, who were unlucky, were hit head-on with a stone, and suddenly their entire cheeks were blurred with flesh and blood, and their mouths and noses were difficult to distinguish, and they immediately fell into the trench and convulsed.

The artillery of the Nine Shadows Kingdom on the fort opened fire angrily.

In the sound of wind and rain, shouts of killing, gunshots, and the sound of stones flying through the air, the sound of cannons roaring.

One after another, the red cannonballs flew down the mountain.

The fiery red light of the Dao shot out, swept through the wind and rain, and then fell to the ground, and a thunderous explosion rang out.

Smoke billowed and flames scattered and rushed, and screams and cries of pain were heard in the ranks of the coalition troops under the mountain.

Scattered stumps and severed arms, and scattered fleeing soldiers in flaming panic can be seen everywhere.

But this did not kill and burn out the courage of the coalition forces.

Their charge continued, and the overwhelming ghost soldiers poured up the mountainside one after another, launching fierce attacks on the position of the Nine Shadows Kingdom.

Whether it was Xuanmu under the mountain or the spring cold on the mountain, no one expected in advance that the battle would be so motivating.

Xuanmu didn't expect that the guns of the Nine Shadows Kingdom would still be powerful in the wind and rain. Roaring, roaring poisonous fire cannons, heavenly thunder cannons, five thunder god machines, thunderbolts, and rainstorm guns at the soldiers charging at the coalition forces, as well as the siege equipment under the mountain, bombarded wildly, and strafed.

Patches of coalition soldiers either fell in the way of the charge, or were torn apart by artillery, and their bones were covered in flames.

Chun Han on the mountain did not expect that the enemy could be so tenacious under the fierce counterattack of the Jiuyou National Army, and he did not have the slightest intention of retreating, and the more he fought, the more courageous he became.

Chun Han, who was standing on the top of the mountain, saw a large number of coalition ghost soldiers who had fallen by the Thunderbolt and the Five Thunder God Machine, and the last drop of ghost blood in his body was shed in the mud in the wind and rain.

I also saw that the other coalition forces that were not hit, were still rushing towards the position of the Nine Shadows Country in a frenzy, and the swords and guns in their hands flashed with a sharp cold light in the rain and fog.

Or take an arrow and open a bow, and send murderous iron arrows at the army of the Nine Shadows Kingdom on the battlefield.

The sound of cracking through the air was endless, the sound of guns and cannonballs flying, and the sound of cannonballs and stones passing through the air.

The sound of the wind and rain has long been drowned out by these sounds, as well as the sound of war drums, trumpets and fighting.

Chun Han's eyes narrowed, his murderous aura appeared, and he immediately ordered: "Air cavalry prepare for air raid!"

She wants to make the battle more intense, so as to destroy the courage of the enemy coalition forces.

[The prototype of the little easter egg Xiao Shizhu - a friend who has read the story once asked if it is difficult to get up, is the prototype of Xiao Shizhu a certain person? In fact, it is not a certain person, to be precise, his prototype is a dog that was raised when he was a child. My parents were the older generation of shovelers, and they always liked cats and dogs, so much so that sometimes they were even willing to revolve around them and didn't want to deal with me. When my family was at its largest, I had seven or eight dogs at a time. As soon as there are many dogs, there is a spokesperson for the dog group, that is, the dog king. The most impressive thing about getting out of bed is the second-generation Dog King, which is a thin dog with long legs and a long mouth, similar to the roaring dog of Erlang God on some murals. Before it ascended the throne of the dog king, it has always been the little follower of the former dog king, docile and obedient, but my father once said that this puppy (the second generation of the dog king) has a wolf when the old dog king is old and weak, and he has also seen that when walking, he always looks left and right, and will look back, like the wolf king who patrols the territory, and Baoding is the next dog king. At first, I thought my father was telling me a joke, but when he ascended to the throne of dogs, he did two things within a week, which impressed me the most and made me believe in my father's words. The first was to bite off the neck of a puppy who didn't listen to him, and he did it in front of my father and me, so fast that we didn't even have a chance to stop it. The second thing is to take the puppies (the heirs of the former Dog King) who gave birth to the wife of the former Dog King after our master fell asleep, and when the dog mother gave birth and was weak, all the puppies were drowned in a bucket full of water by him, and then forcibly occupied the wife of the former Dog King. That year, when I was only fourteen years old, I had seen such a ferocious and thrilling scene. Although it was only something that happened in the dog group, the dog king's decisiveness and imperial domineering did leave an indelible memory on my young heart, so that when I read the history books later, I didn't have too many inner turmoil when I saw the emperor's domineering killing decisiveness, or when I saw the palace fight scene on the TV series. This dog king even attracted the family cats, who should have been at odds with the cats and dogs, but they got along very harmoniously, often going in and out together, sharing food, and getting along well to the winter, they could often huddle together for warmth. So sometimes the cat at home is also willing to act as its thug, often take the initiative to teach it a lesson for some disobedient dogs, go up is a paw without saying a word, scratch the nose of those disobedient dogs, leaving an unforgettable pain (because the dog nose is very sensitive). He will also woo other strong dogs, and every time he gives them something good, such as chicken liver and chicken, the dog king will give a large portion to the dogs who are loyal to him. Since then, this dog king has ruled my dog pack for thirteen years, becoming my pet's big man of the land, sea and air forces (my family also has parrots, pigeons, turtles, and goldfish. Of course, these things don't dare to argue with that dog king. ）。 During this period, the dog came and went, and its subordinates changed batch after batch, some were more flexible than it, some were stronger than it, but none of the dogs were as cunning and ferocious as it, so before it died, no dog dared to bark with it, and the largest and most comfortable kennel was always where it slept with its wife. It was timed until it died peacefully on a sunny afternoon, until its designated next generation of dog kings succeeded him that night. On the day it left, all the dogs in the house gathered around its corpse and wailed, not allowing us, the masters, to bury their dog king. It was the first time I heard a dog crying like a mourning sound, maybe those dogs really remember their great dog king, but the dogs really admired and aweed him. Later, because my parents were also old, my dogs and other pets no longer bought new ones, and the number became smaller and smaller, until today, I have never seen such a fierce and domineering dog king again. And this story of mine also started shortly after the death of this dog king, so I directly used it as the prototype of Xiao Shizhu, so Xiao Shizhu in the book is also decisive, cunning and pragmatic. 】
