The weapons and armor of the Xudu army lay on the ground covered with blood-red powder. As far as he could see, he saw that in front of him, apart from the craters and the burning grain carts, all that was left was these weapons and armor lying haphazardly on the ground.

His mind went blank, and his ears were buzzing and ringing in his ears.

He finally understood the power of the Jiuyou National Army, and also learned Xiao Shizhu's methods.

This time, the Nine Shadows Kingdom seized the weakness of the front-line army without the air defense of the Guanyuecha, and used the Flying Heavenly Immortal Cha and the Flying Army flying from Longju Pass to cooperate with the ambush with air horses, which was equivalent to running out of food for the combined army of the Northern Yin Dynasty fighting on the front line. Soon, the combined armies that were fighting outside Manjiang City had to be cut off.

If the grain is dropped from the Retreat Plain, or Wenyuan Valley and Black Tooth Country again, it will not be able to be collected and transported to Fengming Valley in a day or two.

In this way, it won't take long for the united army on the front line to mess with itself, and when the time comes, Xiao Shizhu and the Jiuyou National Army will not have to do their best to defeat the united army without any power to fight back.

He panicked, and the mistake was so big that he couldn't ease up for a while. But at the same time, he was also puzzled, not only was the time when the grain and grass arrived in the south of Fengming Valley absolutely secret, but he also made a double insurance of setting off in advance and deliberately arranging an empty car in front of the team, but he was still caught by a sudden ambush that could catch them off guard;

How did he know that Xiao Shizhu looked giggling, but in fact, he was as careful as a hair, and every detail could be considered clearly.

Long ago, when the air troops of the Nine Shadows Kingdom destroyed the Guanyuecha of the Northern Yin Dynasty's united army in Dongyi Continent at all costs, Xiao Shizhu had already thought of today's plan. The destruction of Guanyuecha was so that his Xiancha and the Flying Thunder Car, the Air Cavalry and the Flying Sky Army could fly north smoothly under the cover of night. From the air, he dodged the blockade of the combined army of the Northern Yin Dynasty outside Manjiang City, and jumped over these armies like checkers, and rushed straight to the rear of the Xudu army, striking at the supply line of the Xudu army's long supply line.

I never dreamed that I would meet such an opponent who had crazy ideas, but could make every step of the plan very thoroughly.

Bei Shu finally knew why in the previous wars between the Northern Yin Dynasty and the Nine Shadow Kingdom, it was clear that the Xudu Army had an absolute advantage, and it always made the Nine Shadows Kingdom pay a lot of price in every war, but it was the Nine Shadows Kingdom that won in the end.

The harvest suddenly had a sense of being born at an untimely time, and at the same time, he suddenly felt powerless.

"General, general, our food and grass are all gone. His grizzled lieutenant stood beside him, sobbed a few times, rubbed his eyes, and asked in a somewhat disdainful manner, "What are we going to do next?"

Yes, what should I do? This is what he wants to know, and he also wants to find a ghost and ask him what he should do in such a fiasco, when the amount of grain and grass lost and destroyed is enough for him and all his officers to be exterminated by the Nine Clans?

After pondering for a long time, he couldn't come up with a way to harvest it, silently drove the beast forward, and walked north through the burning grain transportation workshop, leaving behind the surviving but even more confused soldiers of the Xudu Army who followed him.

It wasn't until the beast slowly walked north, but after only a few feet away, there was also a little sluggish reining of the beast's soul, so that after it stopped, it did not turn back, continued to stare in the direction of the road ahead, and said weakly: "Go back first, go back, go back to Fengming Valley." ”......

The sun rises in the west, sprinkling blood-red sunlight on every corner of the earth. In the underworld, a new day is ushered in with this slowly rising cloudy day.

In the city of Xudu, it is also lively here with the rising of the cloudy sun. Caravans from outside the city flocked to the city from the east, west, and south gates. Many of the city's shops have opened their doors to welcome the first customers to today.

In the Pumingfang in the south of the city (one square is equal to a city district), near the city wall, a street tea shop called Shuyuelou also opened.

After the shopkeeper Li of the teahouse opened the door panel, he stood against the door. The warm and cloudy light shone on his face, and there was a faint sense of comfort.

The front of the door hung with the word "tea" embroidered on the front side, swaying gently in the morning breeze. And the guys and runners in the store have already begun to sweep the floor and wipe the table. After filling the copper kettle with mountain spring water, the tea doctors put the copper kettle on the stove.

Shopkeeper Li, who had only been basking in the sun for a while, saw a ghost with a faint smile on his face and came towards him. Shopkeeper Li fixed his eyes, but when he saw that the other party was an old customer in his store, the master of the Wheel King, he immediately smiled slightly.

"Shopkeeper, bring a pot of morning tea and serve some snacks. The master who walked to the door of Shuyue Tower, when he said this, his feet crossed the threshold without stopping and walked towards the middle of the building.

Shopkeeper Li answered, and after he entered the building, he hurriedly asked Dr. Tea to make tea, and then asked the man to go to the kitchen to get some snacks, and then followed the master to the tea table in front of the counter.

The shopkeeper hurriedly wiped the tea table, and then walked to the door with a towel on his shoulder and stood still.

After the master sat down towards the door, he looked around, but when he saw that he was the only customer in the store, he coughed twice and cleared his throat, lowered his voice to the shopkeeper Li who was standing next to him, and whispered: "The Northern Yin Dynasty has begun to collect the dark silver, which is sent to Ji Meng, the ghost general in Fenglin Continent, for the construction of various parts of Fenglin Continent. This matter happens to be in charge of the Netherworld Fertile Stone Palace, and the Emperor Xudu has ordered that 70 million taels of Netherworld Silver must be raised within a month and delivered to Ji Meng!".

When he spoke, although there were only two ghosts left in the lobby, he and Shopkeeper Li, but the eyes of the business with a calm face always looked at the street outside the gate, which was gradually becoming lively.

"So, Feng Linzhou has been decided?" Shopkeeper Li had a look of surprise in his eyes, and after a quick flash, he regained his calm again.

"Yes, all the sixteen ghost kingdoms of Fenglin Continent accepted Zhao'an, and the recalcitrant Lingshan Kingdom was also completely defeated more than ten days ago. Only three of the ten witches who rule this ghost country are on the run. The master, who nodded, said softly in a voice that only he and Shopkeeper Li could hear clearly.

He is a spy planted by Xiao Shizhu in the Beiyin Dynasty, a Xuanjiao disciple personally developed by Wu Qiu Shou when he was alive. He often used to peek at the official documents on the table of the Wheel King when he was tidying up the study for his master, the Wheel King, in order to obtain a lot of information.

Now what he said to Shopkeeper Li is also the information he has quietly obtained from the book case of the Wheel King recently.

"Can you figure out the route for transporting money?" In a flash of light, Shopkeeper Li had already thought that if there was a route to transport money, maybe he could seize this huge amount of money to fill the treasury of the Nine Shadows Kingdom.

"It's useless, the boat is from the west of the Six Heavens Continent, directly crossing the weak water into Fenglin Continent, and Jiuyou has not yet had a warship that can be exercised on the weak water; The master, who immediately understood the intention of Shopkeeper Li's question, shook his head slightly and replied.

After hearing the words and thinking about it for a while, Shopkeeper Li also felt that what the master said was reasonable, so he bowed his head a few times in a deep groan.

Dr. Tea walked out, put the brewed hot tea respectfully on the table, and turned to leave again. Then the guy also brought a few snacks for this master. After it was still neatly arranged, it retreated.

The master took out a broken silver from his sleeve and handed it to the shopkeeper Li, then lifted the blue and white porcelain tea cup, sniffed the elegant tea fragrance that came from the cup with the rising heat, and gently took a sip of fragrant tea.

"You use it slowly. After saying this, Shopkeeper Li walked silently to the back of the counter, put the silver into the money jar, took the pen and wrote and drew on the account book a few times, and then dialed the abacus at hand, and made a series of crackling sounds.

The master who was sitting at the counter was sipping tea leisurely, while listening casually to the sound of the abacus beads.

The reason why the spies of the Nine Shadows Kingdom are not easy to be caught by the Northern Yin Dynasty is that in addition to the fact that they are all single-line contacts and do not cross each other, but also because their password books are not the same. And the way of passing on the secret letter is even more strange.

In the sound of the abacus beads just now, there was a secret order.

The master, who was familiar with the sound of this abacus, quickly heard the content of this secret order from the sound of beads that he heard from the ghost, and the sound was almost the same, which was to let him try to find out the situation of the spies that the Beiyin Dynasty was preparing to send to Dongyi Continent recently.

"I already know the exact list of things. After Shopkeeper Li picked up the change he was looking for and came towards him, the master took out a small rolled note from his sleeve, gently placed it on the table, and whispered: "Not only Dongyizhou, but also Xuanyanzhou and Yunmengzhou have eliminated a new batch of spies, a total of three hundred ghosts. It's all idle chess, and there is no clear task. ”。

"Guest officer, you can take the money that was found for you. Shopkeeper Li said this loudly and handed the copper coin in his hand to the master. When he withdrew his hand, he quickly picked up the note on the table and quickly put it into his sleeve.

On this note, the names of these 300 spies and their occupations when they were lurking were clearly written. This is also what the master and he took a lot of effort to get.

The master slowly collected the money, picked up a piece of sweet pastry, took a big bite, and said a little vaguely: "But the more idle the chess and cold, the more you must pay attention." The instructions given by Emperor Xudu to these spies were to lie dormant and wait for the battle to be effective. It can be seen that Emperor Xudu has high expectations for these idle chess players, and they are by no means idle people. ”。

Shopkeeper Li, who has been engaged in the secret work of spies for a long time, nodded in agreement; the more cold this kind of spy, the more difficult it is to find and arrest, and it is often more dangerous than the spies in action.

And he also learned from other sources that most of these spies were trained secretly by Emperor Xudu after the end of the Battle of Shuoyue Island.

Over the years, Emperor Xudu has not used these secret agents, firstly, because he has been waiting for an appropriate time, and secondly, it is a kind of protection for these ghost detectives.

Even if this group of secret ghost detectives is now activated, among the officials of the Northern Yin Dynasty, there are no more than five ghosts who know their existence. It can be seen that this group of spies who are about to leave and go to Jiuyou Kingdom and Dongyi Continent to be idle chess Leng Zi, as the master said, is very important to the Emperor Xudu.

Fortunately, at this time, Shopkeeper Li already had an exact list, so he smiled and quipped softly: "Don't worry, we will make them unable to play miracles." ”。

After saying this, he paused and said loudly: "Guest, you use it slowly." After that, he walked slowly to the back of the counter.
