The King of Rotation was still stunned, and did not stretch out his hand for a long time.

On the palatial Heavenly Hall in the North Yin, it fell into tranquility.

Emperor Xudu did not explain the reason, so that the King of Reincarnation still can't understand how his majesty made such a decision, which seemed to him incomprehensible, confused and crazy?

In the eyes of the King of Wheels, this is a decision that costs money and life.

Once the Nine Shadows Kingdom of the Nine Shadows Kingdom is mass-produced, it will not take long for the treasury of the entire Northern Yin Dynasty to be emptied. When the time comes, if there is any more trouble, where can I raise money and food to settle the trouble that I don't know when it will come?

"Your Majesty, is this plan a second thought. After a long time, the King of Rotation still did not reach out and get the silk book handed by Emperor Xudu, but tried his best to advise: "This plan has too many drawbacks, and it will cause our treasury to make ends meet." ”。

"You don't have to worry about money, I have my own arrangements. Emperor Xudu, whose hands were sore, shouted impatiently, and threw the silk book in his hand to the King of Reincarnation, not allowing him to say more than half a word of advice.

"Alright, let's get going. When the king of rotation took the silk book, the emperor of Xudu said impatiently, and the king of ** turned to retreat.

Seeing that he had no choice but to admonish, the reincarnation king could only salute with helplessness and slowly withdrew from the main hall.

After watching him leave, Emperor Xudu continued to pick up the notebook and read it again......

The sun is cloudy and the sun sets, and the sky is full of sunshine.

Xiao Lingling escorted Lai Yueqi's convoy and finally came to the front of Howling Wind City.

This newly built county seat is located on the endless plain, and near the boxy city, there are many weathered sand pillars and black and shiny boulders, which stand on the wilderness, forming a barrier around the city.

To the south, there is a clear lake with thousands of blue waves, and when the castle was built, the craftsmen who built the castle built a canal to divert the water from the lake around the city, forming a moat.

Surrounded by a moat like a jade belt, this city in the rugged wilderness no longer looks so desolate.

The tall walls, the houses and forts of the city were all made of local materials, and were built with the kind of black boulders that surrounded it. In the afterglow of the sunset, it can still be faintly reflected.

"Mother, what is the black stone around here, and it will reflect the light?" Xiao Fuling looked around curiously, and also asked Lai Yueqi in the car.

"It should be the abyssal rock, our specialty of the Howling Plains, which is said to have been buried deep in the ground for millions of years. Lai Yueqi in the car looked at the black stones on the side of the road and said slowly: "After millions of growth, they have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain from the bottomless underground." Hard and smooth, it is used to build walls and prevent them from being attacked and climbed by enemies. ”。

"Wouldn't this kind of rock grow higher and higher?" Xiao Lingling thought for a moment and asked again.

After the previous sentence was finished, she was curious: "If you can't climb, isn't it possible to be airborne?"

"yes. Lai Yueqi smiled and nodded: "Airborne is possible, but the stone will also grow higher and higher, so when it grows to a certain height, it will be sawn off, used to make bricks or furniture, and even stone accessories." As long as there is a good carver, it can also make a good beautiful utensil. ”。

As soon as he finished speaking, the convoy had arrived at the gate of the west of the city.

Looking forward, you can see that the upper narrow and lower wide city platform is in the middle of the coupon gate, and the door hole is equipped with a jack gate. The top edge is built with the sea wall, there is a tall arrow tower of the upper and lower four floors in the middle, the top of the building is the ash tube green glazed trim edge heavy eaves rest mountain type, decorated with green glazed ridge beast. Gun holes were opened on the west and north and south sides for external defense.

The local county city god thrush has already led the ghost officials in the city to wait outside the city gate.

Living on this windy plain all year round, the thrush is no longer as fine and tender as it used to be. The wind whistling and whistling away made her skin rough and a little dark.

If it weren't for the slight change in her eyebrows and facial features, she really wouldn't have recognized who she was.

The convoy stopped, Lai Yueqi walked out of the car and stood at the front of the car, and Thrush led all the ghost officials and ghost officials to salute her and Xiao Lingling together, and said loudly: "The ministers welcome Lord Weng and Mrs. Lai." ”。

Lai Yueqi smiled and looked around at the ghosts, while Xiao Lingling had already stepped forward with the beast, and after stopping at the front of the team, she said loudly, "Your Excellency, please be exempt." ”。

"Lord Xie Weng. The thrush and the other ghost officials said in unison, straightening up.

Then they were divided into two rows, and each of them stood on the side of the road, and the thrush said: "The city has prepared a reception banquet for the lord and his wife, and invite the lord and his wife to enter the city with their ministers." ”。

Xiao Fuling nodded, and Lai Yueqi also turned around and returned to the car.

The convoy slowly moved forward, led by the thrush who turned over and rode on the beast soul beside him, towards the city.

The buildings in Howling Wind City are very different from the other buildings in the Nine Shadows Kingdom. They resemble boxy minarets with hexagonal single-eaves roofs.

All of them are made of polished bricks from nearby abyssal rock. At night, if the lights are not lit, the whole city can be plunged into darkness and become one with it.

But each building is not very tall, and the tallest is only a three-story building.

In addition to being decorated with the bones of the beast's soul, the four walls are also depicted with a body like a deer, a head like a bird, horns and a snake tail. This is true in every household.

The bronze lamps inlaid on the stone walls on the left and right sides of the door are also the image of Fei Lian, looking up at the sky, and the wick is unfolding the bird's head and pointed beak.

It seems that the local ghosts have an inexplicable worship and reverence for things like the wind.

Even in the barn in front of the house and behind the house, you can see the leg power raised by the locals, and it is also this kind of flying beast soul that can control the wind.

And the city is also very peaceful, there is no restlessness, and there is no bad security, in short, Xiao Fuling and Lai Yueqi see a peaceful atmosphere.

Whether or not Thrush did something in advance, today's Howling Wind City is very stable.

When Xiao Fuling entered the city, it was already evening, and at dinner time, the smoke curled in the city, and the ghost people were busy going home, surrounding the stove to perform their duties. And according to Xiao Fuling's request, the thrush did not make any fanfare to welcome her, but there were no ghosts to welcome her, and Xiao Fuling was saved a lot of trouble. Otherwise, just waving to the ghost folk would be enough to make her arms ache.

and did not cause disturbance to the people, which is what Xiao Lingling and Lai Yueqi are most satisfied with.

"Lord Thrush. Walking on the streets of the city, Xiao Fuling suddenly asked, "Is the ghost doctor you said in the team that took over?"

Then he turned his head and looked at the city officials who were following him.

"Back to Lord Weng, the old man is not in the team, he is just an unofficial ghost people, and he is still staying in his own home. The thrush was in front, and as he walked, he said, "It's not early today, the lord and his wife will rest first, and we will visit this old man again tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." ”。

Thrush naturally knew the purpose of Xiao Fuling's trip, but she only knew that she was going to see a doctor for Lai Yueqi.

"Yes, yes. And Xiao Lingling didn't think much about it, so she responded.

On this day, they were all in a hurry from the time of the cloudy sun to the west, and they were also a little tired. Xiao Fuling herself is fine, after all, Xuanli protects her body. And the accompanying sergeants are okay, for the sergeants who are accustomed to marching and fighting, it is nothing to rush this way.

The key is Lai Yueqi, although she is in a car, she has been overly sad since the loss of her daughter, and her body has been damaged a lot, and she has not yet recovered.

This day's rush can make Lai Yueqi tired enough.

Xiao Fuling decided to let Lai Yueqi rest first.

The thrush took Xiao Lingling and them to the Chenghuang Yamen in the north of the city.

The Chenghuang Yamen in this city is no longer the same as the situation of the dwellings in the city, and it is exactly the same as the Chenghuang Yamen of other county capitals in the Nine Hidden Kingdom, and it is also a three-entry courtyard plus two east and west courtyards.

On the left and right of the door are not stone lions, but stone statues of Nuwa and Fuxi.

On the upturned corner of the roof of the gate, standing proudly is the ancient god Pangu wielding a giant axe and holding his head high.

In the Nine Shadows Kingdom, only at the level of the county government yamen, and the official government yamen with a level above the county government yamen, can these stone carvings and horned beasts be used.

Two rows of ghost officials, dressed in neat official uniforms, lined up at the door, welcoming the arrival of Xiao Fuling and Lai Yueqi.

The car stopped, Xiao Lingling turned over and got out of the beast soul, and helped Lai Yueqi to get out of the car.

"Greetings to Lord Weng, greetings to Mrs. Lai. After those ghost officials put on their robes, they bowed their hands.

Most of them have never seen Xiao Fuling and other big names in the Nine Shadows Kingdom, and it is really a blessing to be able to see their faces today, and all the ghosts are full of pride and pride.

Lai Yueqi smiled and said nothing, bowing her head slightly, which can be regarded as saying hello to the ministers. But Xiao Fuling said to them aloud: "Ladies and gentlemen, it's hard to defend the land. You don't have to be so formal, it's all polite. ”。

"Lord Xie Weng. All the ghost officials replied in unison, and the sound of the answer shook the sky and the earth in front of the yamen.

"Lord Weng and Mrs. Lai, please come with me. When those ghost officials made way for each other, the thrush led Xiao Fuling and Lai Yueqi towards the yamen: "The yamen has already set up a reception banquet, you are tired all the way, and you should eat something first." ”。

"Lord Thrush, since today is a reception banquet, will the local officials who manage minerals come?" Xiao Fuling stepped into the door, and Xiao Fuling asked curiously.

"Yes, the Heavenly Palace has sent a Lang official to take care of all the ore vein excavation here. The thrush nodded his head and said, "Why, does the Weng Lord ask him anything?"

"I've seen a lot of mines along the way, and I'm a little interested in these things, and I want to ask the professionals some questions. Xiao Lingling said the excuse that she had already thought of: "The excavation of this vein is also an eye-opener for me, and I can't see it in the palace in the past, so it's better to learn more about it at this time." ”。

As he spoke, they had come to the door of the second hall.

It wasn't until here that Xiao Lingling saw the lanterns.

The entire second hall was brightly lit and festive. Tables have been laid out between the pillars.

The one in the middle is much larger, and there are smaller tables on the left and right in front of this table, lined up. It stretches from the depths of the second hall to the vicinity of the gate of the second hall.

The officials in the government were busy in the second hall, putting all the delicacies and wines on the tables one by one.

Lai Yueqi was supported by Xiao Lingling, and sat behind the table in the middle of the depths.

Thrush walked between the officials who rushed in behind him, and said to one of the short and fat old ghosts, "Officer Yu Lang, you and I will sit on it in a moment." Lord Weng has seen a lot of ore veins mining along the way, and he is very interested in this, saying that he has some curiosity to ask you, an expert. ”。

The stocky soul squinted, nodded repeatedly, and followed the thrush towards the depths of the hall.

"Lord Weng, please allow me to take the lead in introducing you to Yu Langguan. The thrush standing in front of the table in the depths introduced the souls of the people around Xiao Ling.
