Everyone here, including Xiao Shizhu, did not expect that in the near future, this Linglong City would become a weapon development and research center for the Ghost Mother Army. Countless skilled craftsmen were recruited by Xiao Shizhu, including many ink writers who surrendered to sincerity, and together with Lai Yueqi, they worked diligently to create countless powerful war machines for Xiao Shizhu and his Xiao family army on that barren plain.

When Xiao Shizhu took these war machines and swept through the underworld to fight in the south and the north, the era of Emperor Xudu came to an end.

"Yes, Yueqi will go to prepare tomorrow. Lai Yueqi stood up and came, then paused, and asked, "Can I take two prisoners from the dungeon?"

"Who?" Xiao Shizhu, who was picking his teeth, was slightly stunned, and then smiled at her with interest. Lai Yueqi rarely made a request, but why did he make a request for the two prisoners? This made him curious.

"One is named Long Guyun and the other is named Mu Xian'er. These two human souls are both ink masters, and the result of Chunyun-sama's interrogation is that they are both machine craftsmen in the ink masters. Lai Yueqi lowered her head slightly, and proposed softly: "And their hands are all ten slender fingers, and there are calluses on the knuckles in the palms, so they are indeed craftsmen." If it can be used by us, it will be beneficial and harmless. ”。 As he spoke, he glanced at his own hands, which also had calluses on the knuckles in his palms.

When he was in the world, Xiao Shizhu had heard that the Mo family had many superb tricks, such as a kite that flew for three days without falling, and sixty large crossbow arrows that could be released at the same time, a repeater with countless small crossbow arrows, and an ancient tank with an external iron, part of which was buried in the ground, and could project charcoal fire, etc.

Although many people think that these things of the Mo family are nothing more than their own fantasies, Xiao Shizhu always believes that this is not a fantasy.

If these two souls are really machine craftsmen, then it is better to let them out and make some contribution to the ghost mother country by locking them up in the dungeon to pick up soap and waiting for death.

Thinking of this, Xiao Shizhu had already made up his mind, and hurriedly said to Hu Hui: "You and Lai Yueqi will go together to rebel against them, and after ensuring that they don't have any objections, let Lai Yueqi take them to Linglong City." ”。

"Yes. Hu Hui hurriedly responded.

"The third plan I'm going to talk about is also related to the Ink Makers, we have been secretly arresting the dormant Ink Masters all this time, but there are so many of them that we can't kill them all. Xiao Shizhu, who was focused, nodded lightly, and said thoughtfully: "As long as they are willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, we should give them a chance to reform themselves." The Inkers are not all waste, they are all souls at the bottom of the underworld, and they joined the Inkers with the ambition to change the world. The original intention was good, but it was a pity that it was broken by Mo Zhai. If they can change their ways, they will be a powerful force. So we have to find a way to integrate them. ”。

"General, do you have any good suggestions?" Hu Hui saw that when he spoke, he had a look in his eyes from beginning to end, and he must have already thought of a way.

"I want to play tricks on Mo Zhai, combine these reformed ink people, and give them a different name called Xuanjiao disciples. Xuan Nai Heiya, in addition to reminding them that they are reformed ink people, it also means that they are secretly assisting a group of human souls in the ghost mother country. Of course, the best part about this game is that I'm going to use them against Mo Zhai. Xiao Shizhu showed a sly smile, looked at Hu Hui with both eyes, and said, "Sect Master, naturally you did it." ”。

"Xuanjiao, Xuanjiao also means that the magic power is vast, and the meaning is good. After hearing this, Hu Hui nodded frequently, and then waved his hand again and again: "But for the position of sect leader, you should come by yourself, general; I don't have such a great prestige as you." I'll help you fight against the ink, and hang a position of Dharma protector or something to assist you, what do you think?"

"Haha, just do as you say. The cheeky Xiao Shizhu didn't say anything polite to him, and he agreed in one bite, after all, he wanted Hu Hui to be the sect leader, and he just wanted the other party to plot against the ink people. Since the other party offered to help him rebel against those ink masters, and he didn't want to be the sect leader, he naturally took the position of sect leader.

"This matter has been decided so happily, and now we will talk about another thing. Xiao Shizhu's gaze moved from Hu Hui's face to King Kong's face, and said slowly: "King Kong has performed well in pretending to be an envoy this time, so I hope that the day after tomorrow, you will take three hundred forbidden troops and go to the country of Toutou again." If they are still under siege, help them clean up the Communists, but do not face the enemy directly, and do not attack and harass. If the siege has been lifted, he will reach out to Danzhu to ask for 'wages'. I have heard that this old boy often does things that go against his word, but he has sent me 30,000 shitlers, and you go to remind him that it is only right to repay debts, and let him not play scoundrels with me. ”。

"Yes. King Kong did not refute, but hurriedly got up and gave his hand in response.

"The last thing is about the shadow. Your sister-in-law should have gathered all the families of the Xiao family in the past few days and arranged for them to live under Xiaoyu Mountain City. Xiao Shizhu turned his head and saw that the ghost mother nodded in response, then looked at the shadow who was a little unreasonable, and said with a smile: "These family members will be under your control in the future." We will only ask for more and more places in the future, but fortunately, we have already traded with Zhurongguo, and the place is very dry, and the alabaster will definitely sell well, and so is beer. You take these family members with you, boil a lot of alabaster and brew beer. Your sister-in-law also transferred a hundred ladies from the inner court for you to send. I only have one request, each process is carried out separately, don't leak the secret recipe;

"Me?" Shadow's eyes widened, looking at him with a very strange gaze, and after raising her hand and pointing to her chest, she asked in surprise, "Can I do it?"

"Yes, so you can still have some time with the kids. Xiao Shizhu tilted his head a little and said in an affirmative tone: "You are the best candidate, and as for the wages of the family members, they will be paid twice the market price." ”。

"Do what the eldest brother says, do it well. Yingzhao's words instantly dispelled Shadow's doubts and unconfidence, and then Shadow also nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, I will definitely do it well." ”。

"Okay, the task is assigned, and everyone does their best work. After Xiao Shizhu slapped his hands, he looked around at the ghosts and said in a sonorous and powerful tone: "As long as we work together, the ghost mother country will only get better and better." ”。

"General, may I say more? The ghosts nodded frequently, and after pondering for a while, Hu Hui slowly asked, "You asked Danzhu to criticize the people, but to strengthen the Yuren Air Force?"

"Huh. Xiao Shizhu pointed back with his hand, squeezed his eyebrows and squinted and smiled: "The eyes are very poisonous, you can see this?" Straight to speak, there is no intention to hide it at all.

"Then you should be able to start forming an empty ride. Hu Hui thought seriously.

"Empty ride?" Xiao Shizhu was stunned for a moment and asked, "What is that?"

"To put it simply, it's cavalry that can fly in the air. Hu Hui coughed, cleared his throat, and then gushed endlessly: "All countries in Dongyi Continent have this kind of iron horseman, they control the beast soul that can fly or soar the clouds, and use bows and crossbows in the air to attack the enemy troops on the ground. Even the Emperor Xudu's army had an empty cavalry, but they were not equipped with firearms. However, flying beasts in the air is not as easy to control as on the ground, so air riding is difficult and time-consuming to train. And a good air rider, it is not enough to say that it is difficult to find a soldier. ”。

"I once suggested that the Oni build an empty horse, but he didn't listen. Scratching his head with his hands, and amid the embarrassed ghost captives' laughter, Hu Hui added: "Otherwise, during the Battle of Black Dragon Island, the Ghost King Army will not suffer frequent losses when facing the general's air force." ”。

"Wife, this is a good idea!" Xiao Shizhu turned his head to look at the ghost mother, thoughtfully. But seeing that the ghost mother smiled, nodded to him and said yes, she turned her head again, looked at Hu Hui and asked, "Where can I go to find the empty rider and the beast soul of Tengyun?"

"I don't know the rider, but it's too easy to find Tengyun's beast soul. Hu Hui smiled lightly and said, "Isn't there a beast soul market on the Songtao Harbor in the east of Shuoyue Island? I want to find a beast soul in the clouds, it shouldn't be difficult." ”。

"Riders, I can help my big brother train. Then Ying Zhao took over the words, puffed out his chest proudly, and shouted loudly with excitement: "I once commanded the air cavalry guards of the ancient gods. ”。

"yes, how did I forget about it. The ghost mother also patted her head and said, "Ying recruited him before he was an air cavalry captain." ”。

"That's good, you have a mission. Xiao Shizhu's eyes lit up, and he looked at Ying Zhao and said word by word: "During this time, you can select and train soldiers from the Four City Guards and the Forbidden Army that you think can become air riders. ”。

"Hu Hui, ghost captive. After Ying Zhao responded, Xiao Shizhu immediately said with great interest: "Tomorrow, the three of us will go to the Beast Soul Market." ”......

The morning light shone on Xiao Shizhu's face with his eyes closed, causing him to snort and subconsciously turn over to avoid the sun. Then, the mellow and sweet voice of the ghost mother sounded in his ears: "Get up, big lazy worm." ”。

"Hmm. Xiao Shizhu responded impatiently, pulled the quilt, and snored again.

The ghost mother knew that Xiao Shizhu was very angry when she got up, so she continued to coax him: "If you don't get up again, I'm going to eat up the skewers." ”。 As soon as he heard the word skewers, Xiao Shizhu suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were looking around, and he asked in a loud voice: "Where?

"Hee-hee, here. The charming ghost mother looked at him, reached out and pinned a trace of sideburns from her ear behind her ear, and bowed her head to kiss him;

After a few moments, the ghost mother looked up again, grinned at him, and got up and got out of bed.

She clapped her hands, and Ghost Qian'er and Chenruo walked in with a copper basin full of warm water, towels, toothbrushes and other toiletries, and stood still in front of the bed.

The ghost mother took the towel, soaked the towel in the water in a basin with warm water, rubbed it a few times, took it out, twisted it dry, folded it again, and then turned around and sat on the edge of the bed, supported Xiao Shizhu's back with her hand and helped him up, and gently wiped his face with a towel.

Then he handed the towel to Chen Ruo, then took the toothbrush stained with tooth powder, and handed it to Xiao Shizhu.

"Is it okay to change it?" Xiao Shizhu, who was still a little sleepy, took the toothbrush, looked at the ponytail hair on it, and said, "Isn't there a plastic toothbrush?"

"There will be something in the future, don't be picky now. At the ghost mother's words, she reluctantly put the toothbrush into her mouth.

Half an hour later, after breakfast, he yawned and changed into a short brown coarse cloth, said goodbye to the ghost mother, and left the palace.

When they came to the gate of the palace, they were already waiting there with Yue Ying and Hu Hui leading his Yue Ying and two horses.

"Have you eaten?" Xiao Shizhu took the reins, turned over and climbed up to Jianxi, and asked with a pleasant face.

"Eat. After Hu Hui and the ghost captives answered in unison, they also turned over and followed Xiao Shizhu to Xiaoyu Mountain City.

The three of them rode eastward on their mounts, and three hours later they came to the outside of Shoto Harbor, but it was already past noon.

The hungry Xiao Shizhu invited Hu Hui and the ghost captives to eat and drink enough at the roadside stalls before letting Hu Hui lead the way towards the beast soul market surrounded by pine trees by the port.

Walking slowly into the market, you will see that on both sides of the narrow street, there are many simple sheds, in which there are all kinds of cages, cages are held in many animal spirits, in addition to all kinds of kittens, dogs of different breeds, and all kinds of birds, there are also sheep-like and red hues, and wild ducks with rat tails, and wolf-like rat-headed snipes, and other beasts that can only be seen in mythology.

Xiao Shizhu looked at it while walking, and he was dazzled by it, this is simply a garden of ten thousand beasts, and the zoo in the world is simply weak compared to this small beast soul market!
