The night breeze blows the wind chimes on the corner outside the building, and the melodious and noisy ringtones under the moonlight also make it easier for people to fall asleep. And the subtle rustling sound in the building came from the hourglass in the flowers and plants not far away.

The fine sand in the hourglass is slowly falling.

Tengu Daihana, who slept not far from the hourglass, moved her ears and continued to fall asleep, and after a while she began to snore again.

And Xiao Shizhu on the bed is no longer angry, he can laugh, and the ghost mother is relieved.

"You are also a liar, and they are all so unfathomable. You can't lie to me in secret, do you?" asked the blinking ghost mother again.

She also asked on purpose, knowing that Xiao Shizhu would not deliberately lie to her if she deceived anyone, and it was just to let Xiao Shizhu try her best to control her anger.

Xiao Shizhu naturally knew his wife's good intentions, and deliberately didn't make it clear, so he smiled and asked, "Guess?"

After that, he gently wrapped his fingers around the hair around the ghost mother's ears and played with it.

"Hmph, I won't guess if I don't say it. The ghost mother also picked up a strand of her hair and scratched Xiao Shizhu's nose.

Xiao Shizhu was itchy by her nose and couldn't help but sneeze loudly.

The sneezing woke up the sleeping flowers in the distance.

The tengu's snoring came to an abrupt end, and Daika, who had suddenly woken up, hurriedly looked up, listened intently for a moment, and found nothing unusual, then lowered its head and fell asleep again.

The ghost mother on the bed got up, put down the curtain of the golden silk tent, and lay down again, snuggling in Xiao Shizhu's arms.

Xiao Shizhu still didn't feel sleepy, and was still staring at the top of the tent in a daze.

"What do you think?" the ghost mother glanced up at her husband and rested her head on his chest again.

"I didn't think about anything, but occasionally I felt that being the ghost king was really too tired, wouldn't it be more difficult to be the emperor of the underworld?" Xiao Shizhu smiled bitterly, and spit out a deep buried voice to the ghost mother: "It is said that since ancient times, many emperors and generals have fought for this throne for their own selfish desires, but are they really happy? Or like me now, I can't help but feel physically and mentally exhausted?"

"All day long you have to fight with the ministers, you have to fight with the enemies. After a pause, Xiao Shizhu said again: "Fighting back and forth, I found that I was about to become a fighting." ”。

The ghost mother was silent, she couldn't give her husband much comfort in this matter.

Xiao Shizhu has no choice but to embark on this road, but he can't turn back easily.

"If you don't fight, you can't do it, there are too many ghosts who want me to die now. I don't have the power of war, I don't have the power of life and death, I would have been chopped into meat sauce by them, or I was cut into slices. After another moment, Xiao Shizhu suddenly sighed after saying this.

In that sigh, there was a lot of helplessness that could not be seen in him in the past.

"Then you want to do this?" the ghost mother didn't know what to say, so she could only ask.

"Kill them, and whoever wants me to die, I'll kill him first. Xiao Shizhu quickly put away the helplessness of his sigh, and a cold murderous aura burst out from his eyes.

For this matter, perhaps because of the desire to survive, he did not hesitate at all.

"Then, put a bright future in peace. Xiao Shizhu's eyes quickly regained his calm, and he said slowly: "Then leave it to the most qualified and capable child among our children to take care of it." ”。

Xiao Shizhu's words are nothing more than Xiao Poria.

Xiao Shizhu has always wanted to make Xiao Poria the prince, and Xiao Shizhu has a strong attachment to this matter.

"My daughter will be back tomorrow. Sure enough, soon Xiao Shizhu directly mentioned Xiao Poria Cocos, and the hard words were led to Xiao Poria Cocos.

"Well, I'll be back tomorrow, and I'll be home in the evening. The ghost mother really didn't know what Xiao Shizhu was going to say this time, but without thinking, she answered casually according to Xiao Shizhu's words.

"When she comes back, I'm going to take a trip to Danshui County. Immediately afterwards, Xiao Shizhu said.

"Why?" the ghost mother asked blankly.

"I'm going to invite the three outstanding mountains of Danshui. Xiao Shizhu blurted out.

"Huh?" The ghost mother was even more dazed, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

In the Nine Shadows Kingdom, even the three-year-old ghost knows what this Danshui Sanjie is?

They are a demon soul and two ghosts, rich and rich, but they are not ghosts with great ambitions and talents, and they do have some real skills.

Although the three ghosts can't fight, the machine is good at making decisions and winning victories, and they are also good at winning the invisible, and they are very good friends with Xiao Shizhu.

Like the deceased Wuqiu Shou, these three heroes were once Danzhu's ghost slaves, enslaved and tortured, and it was Xiao Shizhu who freed them from the iron prison after breaking through the Danshui Kingdom. So they became good friends. Sometimes, when Xiao Shizhu makes decisions on national policies, he will also repair books to ask these three masters.

Sanjie knew everything and gave Xiao Shizhu a lot of help.

But these three heroes have never been interested in being officials, they prefer to work hard, work part-time as teachers in rural private schools, and be farmers and teachers who don't have to worry about it. Reading books in their spare time, or the three ghosts get together to drink wine and tea, and talk about ancient and modern knowledge.

Xiao Shizhu invited them to come to the court more than once to be officials, but they just didn't come. Xiao Shizhu had no choice but to go with them.

And this time, Xiao Shizhu went to invite them again, not to ask them to be officials.

"I want them to teach Poria how to govern and make decisions. Xiao Shizhu smiled and said: "They are reluctant to be officials, and I have no intention of forcing it, but if they come to be teachers who teach and educate people, I think they will agree." ”。

When the ghost mother heard this, she thought about it for a while, and then she thought that her husband wanted to consolidate Xiao Ling's position in the Nine Shadows Kingdom.

Just imagine, if Sanjie was willing to go out of the mountain to teach Xiao Fuling, would the ghosts in the country think so?

Everyone will think that Xiao Lingling is really the future successor. All the ghosts will feel that even Xiao Shizhu, who can't invite the three heroes to be officials, is actually willing to teach Xiao Fuling tirelessly. The respect of the hundred officials and ghost people for Xiao Fuling will increase instead of decreasing.

When the ghost mother thought of this, she suddenly didn't know whether to be happy or lost.

As **, she can see that Xiao Fuling is indeed the most suitable candidate for Xiao Shizhu's current children. But as a mother, the ghost mother doesn't want Xiao Fuling to be a girl to take on the heavy responsibility of a country.

The ghost mother who thought like this thought about it thought of something else after a while.

After savoring it for a long time, the ghost mother opened her mouth and said to Xiao Shizhu: "With your wisdom and strategy, you won't be unable to invite the three heroes of Danshui, and you didn't force it when they didn't agree at first, just keep it until today to lay it out, right?"

After a pause, the ghost mother said her guess. Including Sanjie to assist Xiao Fuling, let Xiao Fuling fly high under the teaching of Sanjie, and kill thousands of miles in one fell swoop. Then, the conjecture that gradually reached the wings and crossed the six seas was also spoken.

Xiao Shizhu smiled and didn't say anything, that is, he didn't say yes or no, then yawned, closed his eyes, and said, "Tired, let's sleep, there will be an early morning waiting for us tomorrow." ”......

The cloudy moon sets in the east, slowly sliding into the sky.

There was no moonlight on the sea around Shuoyue Island, and the waves were immersed in darkness, and the sea breeze continued to roll.

On the top of Xiaoyu Mountain City on the island, Ying Zhao asked a guard to carry a lantern to illuminate himself.

He took Yu Xuan and a ghost official from the Beiyin Dynasty to stand outside the yamen of the mansion and waited quietly.

This ghost official of the Beiyin Dynasty who was next to Ying Zhao was the ghost official who escorted the second batch of compensation materials to the Nine Shadows Kingdom, surnamed Wu, and they all called him Lord Wu.

This time, he came, not only to bring the compensation house, but also to take away a ghost official of the Northern Yin Dynasty who was detained by the Nine Shadows Kingdom.

The last time the Beiyin Dynasty sent supplies, Xiao Shizhu did not agree to their request from the Beiyin Dynasty, and refused to let the Beiyin Dynasty take away one of the three ghost officials of the Beiyin Dynasty who were detained by the Nine Shadows Kingdom. However, in order to show his sincerity, Xiao Shizhu proposed to wait until the second batch of compensation materials arrived, and after passing the acceptance, he could let the Beiyin Dynasty take Wei Zheng away.

A few days ago, Lord Wu of the Northern Yin Dynasty brought the second batch of supplies, which was one-tenth of the total amount of compensation.

Today, the Nine Shadows Kingdom finally completed the counting and inspection of this batch of materials, and found that the quantity was correct, and there was no unqualified, and after the materials used to fill the number indiscriminately, the Nine Shadows Kingdom was about to fulfill its promise.

They were going to release Wei Zheng.

The three ghosts of Wei Zheng and Gong Mingyi are treasures in the Emperor Xudu, and in Xiao Shizhu's opinion, that is, Lu Dao is okay.

Knowing how to outwit and not losing your brains, your thinking will give your opponent unexpected fright.

But Wei Zheng is really too upright, and he has no use except for being able to persuade the imperial history. Wen can't govern the country, Wu can't Anbang, Xiao Shizhu will only waste food if he stays with him.

So the first one released him.

As for that Gong Mingyi, Xiao Shizhu also knew that he could do a good job, and it would bring him a lot of trouble in the future, but Xiao Shizhu was not afraid of him.

Moreover, Xiao Shizhu knew that Emperor Xudu needed Gong Mingyi. Who made Gong Mingyi the ghost general of the Northern Yin Dynasty who knew the most about the combat tactics of the Nine Shadows Army?

Therefore, Xiao Shizhu must save him until the end before releasing him.

Now Gong Mingyi is kept so that the Beiyin Dynasty will not be repaid.

And not let Lu Dao go as soon as possible, it is to make Emperor Xudu a little more impulsive, a little less strategist to calm him down, and make a lot of mistakes.

Lord Wu, who was at the gate of the mansion, waited a little anxiously, and kept pacing back and forth, walking around.

Ying Zhao Yuxuan and the two ghosts, but they were very calm, but they were a little sleepy, and they kept standing in place and yawning.

Before they could sleep enough, they were woken up, and it wasn't the important things of the Nine Shadows Kingdom that were woken up, Ying Zhao and Yu Xuan really didn't have much interest, but they fell asleep again and again.

In addition, the ghost officials of the Northern Yin Dynasty were walking around him, and Ying Zhao and Yu Xuan were even more drowsy.

After a while, four guards of the Nine Shadows Kingdom and two ghosts and nine ghosts of the Nine Shadows Kingdom walked out with Wei Zheng, who was wearing the official uniform of the Northern Yin Dynasty.

is called imprisonment, but in fact, the treatment of him and Lu Zhidao in the Nine Shadows Country is good. The cell is in the backyard of the government office, and it is not locked in the dungeon with Gong Mingyi.

As for food and drink, the Nine Shadows Kingdom has always treated them preferentially.

So much so that Wei Zheng was actually fed a little oily belly by Jiuyouguo, not to mention, his cheeks were a little bulging.

Although Wei Zheng was still unhappy with the detention of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, it was obvious that he was well entertained by the Nine Shadows Kingdom.

And he didn't have any injuries on his body, and his skin was still delicate and shiny, obviously the Nine Shadows Kingdom only put him under house arrest Wei Zheng and Lu Zhidao, but he didn't abuse them.

This made Wei Zheng, who had not been treated injustice and inhumanely, even if he was angry, but obviously did not dare to directly accuse Ying Zhao and Yu Xuan.

It's just that he didn't give Ying Zhao and Yu Xuan, what a good face.

"Lord Wu. Wei Zheng walked in front of a few ghosts and took the lead in saying hello to Lord Wu of the Northern Yin Dynasty.

"Congratulations, Lord Wei. Ying Zhao greeted him with a smile and said to Wei Zheng: "My lord has decided to release you first to show his sincerity." Isn't it a surprise and a surprise?".

After that, Ying Zhao reached out and patted Wei Zheng's shoulder, and said with a smile: "After I go back, I hope Lord Wei will remember our goodness." ”。
