The sea breeze was gentle, and the salty smell of the sea water blew up the cliff, blowing the towering ancient trees and Xiao Ran pine and bamboo in the Hundred Illusion Miao Village to shake for a while. The butterflies, which were originally perched on the trunks of trees, soared in the wind and flew high into the blue sky.

Ben just glows with light blue fluorescent wings spread, and the color changes in the cloudy light.

"The ghost envoy of Qingqiu Country, Hu Lan, has seen Lord Bai Impermanence. Hu Lan, who returned the salute, took out his identity document, as well as the customs clearance document stamped by ghost officials from all over the Nine Shadows Country along the way, and handed it to Bai Wuchang together.

"Your Excellency, please. Bai Wuchangzi carefully looked through it, and after confirming that there were no mistakes and no forgeries, he returned those documents to Hu Lan and turned sideways, and made a gesture of please: "This official has set up drinks and food for the ghost envoy in the village below; ”。

That Hu Lan didn't be polite to him, he just turned his head at the moment, took the ghost officials under him, and followed Bai Wuchang towards Miao Village.

Along the way, the boat and car were tiring, and the sea was bumpy for a month, and Hu Lan, a pampered nobleman, was already a little unbearable. Hearing that there was a wine feast and hospitality, there was no need to rush to the road, so Hu Lan did not refuse.

Along the way, I saw that this village is not small, under the towering ancient trees in the village, the stilted buildings are like a forest. The solid stilted building can be used as a home residence and as a watchtower. And between the traffic, chickens and dogs smell each other, and the village is full of comfort and comfort.

Hu Lan followed Bai Wuchang, under the escort of the ghost soldiers of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, and came to the square in the middle of the village.

The square with the sound of reeds was lit up, and a banquet had been set up in the venue. Poured with spirits, it becomes a five-colored dragon meat, which is fragrant under the charcoal fire, and the thinly chopped fragrant flowers and leaves are evenly sprinkled on the dried fish made of three-foot sea bass, as well as the delicious white fish and sugar crab and honey-pickled squid, as well as the green tube wine that has been opened and is as cold as ice.

After Bai Wuchang took Hu Lan into his seat, the banquet began, and the musicians around him played the reed sheng even more cheerfully.

Bai Wuchang picked up a cup of tea and said to Hu Lan beside him: "I have the duty to drink, I can't drink, so I will replace the wine with tea to catch the wind." ”。

Hu Lan also hurriedly raised the wine glass and exchanged the glass with Bai Wuchang.

Only Tu Gongqi has always been silent. Along the way, Tu Gongqi has seen more and said less.

He had been slowly observing secretly, and found that the folk customs of the Nine Shadows Country were simple, and the soldiers and civilians and ghost officials were almost all of the same heart and mind, even the places in Dongyi Continent, which had just been included in the territory, were also the same, which made Tu Gongqi stunned and curious. His good son-in-law, Xiao Shizhu, the king of the Nine Shadows, used what method to unite thousands of ghosts.

And Xiao Shizhu is only two tricks, although it is single, but it is very effective. First, we should completely eradicate the class system and make all ghosts equal. Second, it aroused the hatred of the ghost people in the country for the Beiyin Dynasty, and intensified the propaganda of the evil changes of the Beiyin Dynasty, which invisibly aroused the hatred of the ghost people. Therefore, as long as the enemy of the Northern Yin Dynasty is still alive for one day, most of the ghost people in the Nine Shadows Kingdom will unite for one day.

In addition, what made Tu Gongqi even more smacked was the military power of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, which was really powerful beyond his imagination.

In addition to the sergeants who all practiced divine and ghost arts, the firearms issued by the sergeants of the Nine Shadows Army dazzled Tu Gongqi and the other ghosts in the mission.

Now look at the white impermanence, even such a fierce ghost is loyal to Xiao Shizhu, so Tu Gongqi has to envy what magic this Xiao Shizhu has at the bottom.

I envy the great family and business of this Nine Secluded Country, envy the ghosts of this Nine Secluded Country, and envy his son-in-law;

Of course, envy and jealousy also followed, and Tu Gongqi's fists hidden behind the wide cuffs clenched involuntarily.

jealous, jealous of why his son-in-law is so good, but he doesn't want to think about it, Xiao Shizhu can have today's achievements, and he hasn't even escaped death once or twice, and now everything he Xiao Shizhu has is not from the sky and given for nothing.

It was all in exchange for Xiao Shizhu's own life.

In the singing and dancing, the more he thought about it, the more jealous Tu Gongqi became, raised his wine glass, clenched the glass with five fingers, raised his head and erected the quilt, and drank to the bottom.

When the wine glass was put down, the silent Tu Gongqi's eyes were also a little red......

The main building of Juexiangyuan is dug into the ground for the pond, and a lotus pond with twists and turns on the bank of the pond is built, although it is not big, but the ghost mother let the palace people in it, planted with two flower stems divided into two diversities, and bloomed two flowers of Ruilian and Bi Lian. In the pond, there are a lot of crossfish and fiery red turtles.

A curved bridge was erected over the clear water of the pond and crossed the lake. When the ghost mother and Xiao Shizhu have nothing to do, they like to go to the curved bridge to lean on the bridge railing and look down, watch the red turtles basking in the sun on the stones by the pool, and watch the cross-smelt fish coming and going in groups in the pond, splashing thorns and playing in the water in Ruilian and Bi Lotus.

On this day, Xiao Shizhu stood on the curved bridge in the pond again, holding a rice ball in his hand, slowly and methodically detaining the rice grains, absentmindedly throwing little by little rice grains into the pool.

There was a thoughtful look on his frowning face, and he let the breeze in the pool flicker and meet him, but he couldn't blow this look away for a long time.

The ghost mother took Xiao Fuling and walked to his side with Xiao Fucha in her arms, and coughed lightly, which made Xiao Shizhu come to her senses from thoughtfulness.

"It's rare to see you stunned for so long, I remember that we have been the most patient and patient in things such as knowing that we are married, and now that I often see that you are not doing a good job, either fighting crickets, recruiting cats and teasing dogs, or recruiting them to eat, drink and have fun, and run Ma Nanshan with Lu Wuying. The ghost mother looked into her husband's eyes, burst out with a faint curiosity, and after glancing at her husband up and down for a while, she teased: "What's the matter today, I haven't moved for an hour of contemplation, and I haven't changed my posture?"

Xiao Ling, who was on the side, listened happily, and said with a smile: "Mother, why do you say that my father is the same as a gentleman who can only eat, drink and have fun?"

Xiao Fuling really can't imagine that such a powerful father would be the kind of ghost that her mother said.

"Poria, take your sister to the side to play, and I'll talk to your father about something serious. The ghost mother did not answer Xiao Fuling, but turned around and handed the Xiao Fuling tea in her arms to Xiao Fuling, and gave Chen Ruo a look behind her, signaling that Chen Ruo to take Xiao Fuling and them to the side to play.

Xiao Fuling didn't ask too much, hugged her sister and Chen Ruo and turned around and left the lotus pond, and went to Fengyi Pavilion to play.

After they left, the ghost mother took a step forward, stood side by side with Xiao Shizhu, who was still silent after relieving herself, stared at a leafless Ruilian in the middle of Xiao Shizhu's gaze, and said slowly: "You have a headache, should you let Hu Hui and them continue the Northern Expedition, or take a long rest?"

"Yes. Xiao Shizhu, who was slightly stunned, then curled the corners of his mouth, revealing a faint smile, and then finally said to the ghost mother: "This matter can't be delayed any longer, I have to make a decision before sunset." ”。

There is no one who knows the other than the ghost mother, and she is not wrong at all. A day ago, Xiao Shizhu received battle reports from Dongyizhou one after another. Hu Hui swept through the forward positions of the heavens, and the intensive artillery fire killed the generals of the heavens and the shackles. Xuanshui, Yurong and Ji Yan Zhuhai, as well as the goddess Gu She, also led the army north and attacked in many ways. Within one day, the army of the Nine Shadows Kingdom conquered the eighteen cities of the Six Heavenly Kingdoms under the rule of the Heavens. Nearly 200,000 sergeants were captured. This short-lived kingdom of the Six Heavens, which was created many times, was completely paralyzed in one day and one night.

Next, the question faced by the army of the Nine Shadows Kingdom was, should they rest on the spot and rectify the city that had just been captured? Or should they continue the Northern Expedition, and the autumn wind swept away the leaves, completely destroying the Six Heavens Kingdom, which had only been established for a short time?

The war between the Nine Shadows and the annexation of Dongyizhou lasted for nearly two years, and it was fought for too long. If it continues to drag on, the loss and consumption of the Nine Shadows Country will be too much.

Although this war will be fought for another ten years, the Nine Yin Kingdom will be able to afford it, but after all, the Nine Yin Kingdom still has a strong enemy of the Northern Yin Dynasty, and it is necessary to retain some strength and materials to ensure that the victory rate in the war with the Northern Yin Dynasty is increased.

What's more, the mission of the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom is coming, once the mission of the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom arrives, it means that the Nine Shadows Kingdom will send troops to Dongyingzhou to start the plan to annex Dongyingzhou.

It is not impossible to fight on multiple fronts, but the war in Dongyizhou must be ended as soon as possible. In this way, Dongyizhou can become a solid backing for the Dongyingzhou battlefield.

But even if Xiao Shizhu thinks so, he is still a little powerless. In Dongyi Continent, in addition to the Six Heavens Abroad that has been beaten into a plate of scattered sand by the army of the Nine Heavens Country overnight, there are also small ghost countries such as the Fusang Kingdom and the Flying Head Country, once he sends troops to sweep the remaining towns of the Six Heavens Kingdom, then these ghost countries that are ambiguous with the Northern Yin Dynasty are very likely to take advantage of the void.

Therefore, Xiao Shizhu was undecided for the first time in the matter of continuing to fight or entering the matter of cultivating the truth, and it was difficult to choose.

"Let's think differently. Seeing his smile, the ghost mother quickly dissipated with contemplation, and then smiled, full of charm: "Whether it is Fusang Country or Feitou Country, they are not the same fist. But our army is a fist with five fingers together. ”。

When Xiao Shizhu heard this, he frowned again, but he still didn't say a word.

"They're going to attack in multiple ways if they want to take advantage of it, but then they can't gather their strength. We can attack in multiple ways, but even if our forces are scattered, we will not be unable to gather forces. The ghost mother paused, and said to Xiao Shizhu: "You can let Hu Hui and Gu Shoot the Divine Maiden stand still, rest on the spot, and hand over the task of sweeping the Six Heavenly Kingdoms to Yu Rong and Xuanshui." In addition, Lin Cong can also be asked to send troops from the south and cooperate with Dongyue to take down the Lei Ze Kingdom first, so that the other ghost country forces will gradually collapse. ”。

The method she said, Xiao Shizhu didn't think about it, if he wanted to attack and let the troops in Dongyi Continent cancel the rest, there was only this way. It's just that in this way, there are too many supply lines, and it is difficult to unify scheduling.

The so-called soldiers and horses go first before they move the grain and grass, although all the ghost soldiers under him are ghost soldiers, they also have to eat ghost food to survive. If there is a problem with the supply line, the morale of the army will be low and the morale of the army will be shaken.

What's more, the army has become poor after repeated attacks, and whether it can be pursued is a big problem.

Seeing that he was frowning again, the ghost mother was undecided, and after a little thought, she knew what Xiao Shizhu was still worried about, so she said: "Let Yu Rong and Xuanshui Ji kill them, march along the coastline, and fight steadily, and the supply line will be transported by the co-workers from the sea, and the poor can chase after them." ”。
