Anger filled Xiao Shizhu's chest, causing the green tendons on the backs of his hands to burst out as he clenched his fists.

But at this moment, the officer guarding the captives also strode up to his side, saluted, and then slowly asked, "My lord, what should we do with these captives?"

"First interrogate the charges, wait for them to sign and postpone the drawing, then take them out and behead them all. Xiao Shizhu replied coldly, and after retracting the Moon Destroying Sword into its scabbard, he strode towards the side of the gods.

A moment later, a large number of begs for mercy and cries sounded behind Xiao Shizhu. But when he heard this, not only did he not stop, but his face was still gloomy.

These ghosts who dared to assassinate him did not deserve sympathy, and Xiao Shizhu would not sympathize with them.

Without looking back, he walked to the shrine and climbed up to the shrine without stopping.

Because of the protection of the talisman, and the fact that those* were only smuggled from the black market outside the Nine Shadows, the power was not great, so the gods did not cause any damage except for the outside and around the open window, which were blackened by the flames in many places.

Xiao Shizhu, who came to the shrine, untied the Moon Destroying Sword, put it on the sword shelf, and sat on the bed in the bedroom.

The ghost mother, who had already come back to rest, washed off the dust and blood on her body under the service of the maid, changed into a set of clean clothes and sat in front of the dresser, saw through the bronze mirror in front of her husband that the green tendons on her forehead were bursting out, and her face was full of anger, and she asked with concern: "Why are you angry?"

As she spoke, she waved her hand and asked the palace maid who was combing her hair to step back.

"The mastermind behind the scenes is actually the prefect of Zhang. After only himself and the ghost mother were left in the bedroom, Xiao Shizhu gritted his teeth and scolded in a deep voice.

When the ghost mother heard this, her eyes widened, and her eyes overflowed with incredulity.

I thought that this smiling Governor Zhang just dared to secretly levy and extort from the ghost people, but I didn't expect him to dare to openly gather the people who dared to die and make an assassination. It seems that not only people are not allowed to look good, but even ghosts are not to be seen.

The ghost mother, who was stunned for a long time, asked in a daze, "Is it because he noticed that you want to investigate him for taking bribes and perverting the law?"

According to the whistleblower's words, he was premeditated. After Xiao Shizhu snorted angrily, he told the ghost mother word for word what the soul who reported the prefect of Zhang's mansion said.

After listening to his words quietly, the ghost mother immediately frowned and said, "Although there are many blood-eating ghosts, the Emperor Xudu is not allowed to assign them to states outside the direct jurisdiction of the Northern Yin Dynasty. In this way, this is another plan by Emperor Xudu. ”。

Xiao Shizhu nodded his head, and the anger on his face was a little heavier.

After staying in the underworld for a long time, he also knows that some ghosts with special abilities are firmly held in his hands by the Emperor Xudu, and he will not be distributed to other princes and ghost countries. In order to ensure that his throne is stable and not easily overthrown.

The more Xiao Shizhu thought about it, the more angry he became, and the small actions of Emperor Xudu made him more and more uncalm.

The ghost mother seemed to find that his emotions were driven by Emperor Xudu's actions, so she got up and walked slowly to sit down beside him, put her hand on the back of Xiao Shizhu's hand, and whispered: "Calm down, Emperor Xudu just wants to see your angry and corrupt appearance now." ”。

Xiao Shizhu was suddenly stunned when he heard this, and the anger on his face also disappeared a lot; yes, when he was still in the world, his master told him that no matter what was suitable, he had to remain rational and calm, otherwise he would only become someone else's pawn.

Once his emotions are exploited, then his every move is no longer what he wants, but what others want to guide him to do.

After his daughter was disfigured, and then he was stabbed by his own men, Xiao Shizhu's sanity and calmness went away a little bit. He became manic, angry, and even murderous. This may be what Emperor Xudu wants to see.

Fortunately, there was a reminder from the ghost mother, which made him calm down immediately.

The cloudy sun that slowly rose outside the shrine broke through the clouds in the sky and shed a warm morning light, penetrating the shrine through the carved windows, and spreading mottled mottles like mysterious runes in the bedroom of the shrine.

The anger on Xiao Shizhu's face had completely disappeared, and he returned to his eyebrows with composure.

"yes, I've been getting too impatient and angry lately, which isn't good. He sighed lightly, turned his head to look at the ghost mother's rolling eyes, and curled the corners of his mouth to reveal a light smile: "Thank you......!"

Under the morning light, the newly built calf holding pass was peaceful and tranquil.

Since Xia Xing's raid, for a long time, the calf pass has been immersed in the fear of all the grass and trees. As soon as the surviving defenders heard the slightest sound of excessive wind and waves, their whole body immediately tensed, as if they were facing a great enemy.

It wasn't until the rebuilding of the calf pass was completed and the dragon spear was developed that they felt safe again.

In the midst of peace and tranquility, a group of Xudu troops had already begun to assemble in several school grounds in the Guannai and started a new day of training.

And their commander Zong Tian slowly walked to one of the many tents in Guanbei. When Fang stood in front of the tent door and raised the curtain, Zong Tian asked it, "Are you better?"

As far as his eyes could see, he could see that the furnishings in the tent were very simple. Except for a bed, a desk, and a few bookcases full of books, there was nothing else in the tent.

The human soul lying on the bed with a somewhat pale face was Gong Mingyi.

He was about to get up to greet Zong Tian, but Zong Tian had already walked forward quickly, sat on the edge of the bed, and helped him lie down again.

At this time, half a month has passed since the night when he wrote, directed, and acted in a scene where he was stabbed by an assassin. At that time, Zong Tian ordered the ghost doctor to save Gong Mingyi no matter what, and then the ghost doctors did not dare to slack off, and immediately tried their best to rescue Gong Mingyi. This little ghost, who is enough to be called the first drama spirit in the underworld, also woke up after ten days in a coma and survived.

Afterwards, Zong Tian and the others did not find any trace of the assassin, and came to ask Gong Mingyi, he also said that it was because the dragon spear was manufactured at that time, and he went to congratulate Hai Laoweng, but he never thought that he would meet the assassin. But the assassin covered his face, only knowing that it was a human soul, and the others did not know.

Later, Zong Tian and the others did not find any clues, and the matter was over, but the fact that Gong Mingyi shouted that there was an assassin despite the severe pain was regarded as noble by Zong Tian and the defenders of the calf pass.

They all thought that he was loyal to the Northern Yin Dynasty, and even though he was bleeding from a knife in his body, he did not flee on his own first, and after the guards heard the news, they also asked the guards to catch the assassin first.

Zong Tian wrote a notebook of this matter with a little added fuel and vinegar, and sent it to Xudu quickly, which also made the Emperor of Xudu have a certain good impression of this slippery little ghost.

As everyone knows, it was just a play by Gong Mingyi who was seriously injured and died of Hai Laoweng, and he couldn't continue to talk and show other ghosts.

"Thank you Lord Zongtian for your concern, I feel much better in the past few days. Gong Mingyi, who was lying down, asked angrily: "How is the training of the army? Has the dragon gun been put into production in large quantities?"

As he spoke, a look of concern appeared on his face.

Naturally, you have to do a full set of plays, and Gong Mingyi still understands this. Since he had already shown himself as a ghost loyal to the Northern Yin Dynasty before, this loyalty would naturally continue even if it was mixed with water.

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Zong Tian's face suddenly showed a little admiration. Unexpectedly, Gong Mingyi, who looked a lot smarter in the past, was still concerned about the military affairs of the Northern Yin Dynasty when his wounds had not healed, which was really another Zongtian who was even more impressed by him.

"The training of the army is going on as scheduled, and the dragon guns are being produced in large quantities. Zong Tian showed an amiable smile to Gong Mingyi, and then persuaded him: "Lord Gong, you can rest well." After the injury is healed, I will take care of military affairs. ”。

Gong Mingyi nodded when he heard this, and then let out a long sigh of regret, and said leisurely: "If I know martial arts, I can catch that assassin that day, and Hai Laoweng will not die because of this." ”。

After saying this, tears were already in his eyes. Under the grief on his face, he looked so worried.

Even Zong Tian, a ghost who was accustomed to seeing all kinds of winds and waves, suddenly felt bad in his heart.

However, as far as Gong Mingyi's acting skills are concerned, tears come from the truth, even if he is a big liar like Xiao Shizhu, he has to bow down compared to him.

Xiao Shizhu at least needs chili water to perform a heart-wrenching appearance, but Gong Mingyi said that he will enter the play when he enters the play, and his tears seem to be controllable at will, and he will come as soon as he says.

It has to be admired.

"Lord Gong, don't feel sorry for Hai Lao Weng anymore, the human soul dies in the underworld and doesn't even have an afterlife, but if you die in the underworld, there will be an afterlife, and there are also human spirits in the sky, Hai Lao Weng naturally doesn't want to see Lord Gong you are so miserable now. Zong Tian, who was still in the dark, also sighed lightly, and slowly persuaded Gong Mingyi.

When Gong Mingyi heard this, he actually cried silently for a while, and then slowly stopped his tears, and did not continue to speak after humming, so he remained flat in his original state.

Seeing that although he stopped his tears, the sadness on his face did not decrease but increased, Zong Tian immediately patted his head, as if he suddenly remembered something, smiled and said, "Look at my memory, how can I forget this happy event." At the same time, he hurriedly took out a yellow silk book from his sleeve.

"Congratulations to Lord Gong for his promotion. After speaking, Zong Tian handed the silk book to Gong Mingyi.

Gong Mingyi was slightly stunned, his face was a little suspicious, but he still reached out and took the quilt, took the silk book, and unfolded it to look at it.

When you look closely, there are more than 100 words sprinkled on it, all of which are from the hands of Emperor Xudu. As early as when Gong Mingyi was still in the Tianlu Pavilion in the Six Heavens Gods and Ghosts Palace, as a small civil official, he had seen the handwriting of Emperor Xudu countless times from the archived oracles.

At this time, just at a glance, he could see that the content on the silk book was not written by Emperor Xudu asking him to ghostwrite, but by the other party.

Looking at the content again, in addition to praising Gong Mingyi's commendable loyalty, he was also appointed to join the army as the calf pass, and also served as the supervisor of the army. It can represent the imperial court to assist in military affairs and supervise all the generals here. In other words, even Zong Tian was within the scope of his Gong Mingyi's supervision.

This sudden promotion order caught Gong Mingyi off guard, and he was stunned on the bed for a while, his eyes widened wider and wider, and the incredible color also filled his two eye sockets in an instant.

It wasn't until a long time later that he came to his senses a little later, and then he asked in a daze: "I'm not dreaming, am I?

"Lord Gong is too worried, this book is from the hands of His Majesty, and it is like a fake. After Zong Tian smiled indifferently, he said leisurely: "Besides, this is Your Majesty's holy decree, no matter how many dares Zong Tian has, he will not dare to take the name of pretentiousness to please Lord Gong." ”。
