The cloudy day had begun to move eastward, gradually moving towards the horizon.

Since the Yuque Palace is located in a huge sinkhole, the sun begins to turn eastward, and the palace will gradually darken.

As soon as the light dimmed, among the wine trees of the wine forest, those golden night mosses were all shining in the dimness, bright as fire, illuminating the wine grove.

A few thousand-year-old tigers with a single horn on their heads in the living forest slowly woke up, and the palace people who took care of this place had already prepared food for them. This thousand-year-old tiger beast soul does not eat meat, and the food it eats is some vegetarian food, which is abnormal and peculiar.

After Xiao Shizhu in the building finished speaking, he took another sip of tea in the hand pot, raised his eyes and looked out of the door, and happened to see a thousand-year-old tiger sneaking past from outside the door.

When he retracted his gaze, Lin Cong had already nodded in response and agreed to the matter.

In the Nine Shadows Kingdom, most of the things were formulated by Xiao Shizhu, or decided on major policies after consulting with the ministers, and his subordinates implemented them concretely. Lin Cong followed such a rule, so he specially ran this trip.

After Xiao Shizhu's ghost mother groaned for a while, she took over and said to Lin Cong: "Lord Lin, do you think this is not feasible? Let some of these enemy ghost detectives who are easy to find clues and traces of ghosts be exposed, and arrest them one by one, so as to give our old opponents a psychological fear." ”。

"The premise is not to arrest key people, only some of the people who have gradually been exposed. When Xiao Shizhu finished speaking, Xiao Shizhu added: "And you have to catch it step by step, don't be in a hurry, but startle the snake." ”。

In this matter, he and the ghost mother thought the same.

But whether you can do this depends on Lin Cong.

In this regard, Lin Cong is more experienced than the couple, so Xiao Shizhu's ghost mother only made suggestions.

Lin Cong took the hot tea offered by Chen Ruo, gently scraped the tea powder in the cup with the lid of the cup, and pondered deeply.

Xiao Shizhu and his wife are waiting quietly.

After a long time, Lin Cong took a sip of the tea that had become just warm in the cup, slowly tilted his head, and said, "This is okay, but it can't all be done by Xuanjiao." We still want to let these ghost detectives fall into the vast sea of our ghost people. Let the ghost people also be exposed, aware of their existence, actively report and react to the actions and actions of the other party's ghost detectives, and the ghosts and officials from all over the country participate in the arrest and control operations, such a national war can make the ghosts of the Northern Yin Dynasty tremble. ”。

This is also in the same sentence, and it gets to the point all of a sudden.

To participate in the whole people, not only can the enemy have no hiding place in the Nine Shadows Country, but also cultivate the sense of honor and loyalty of the ghosts of the Nine Shadows Country.

After listening to Lin Cong's suggestion, Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother looked at each other. After exchanging glances, Xiao Shizhu immediately made a decision, took the case and ordered, and said: "Just do as you say, but you must first catch one or two ghost detectives, fully confirm the identity of the other party, and then start publicity, so that the whole people will fall into the all-people war against the ghost detectives who have been dormant in the Beiyin Dynasty, and make them tremble in front of our unanimous nine ghosts." ”。

Xiao Shizhu added that it was also the reason why he and the ghost mother agreed to Lin Cong's plan.

There is no combat power that can withstand the strength of the whole people. Only with internal stability and unity, can the Nine Shadows Kingdom unite as one and work together to resist all difficulties and dangers.

"Yes. Lin Cong responded and took over this important task.

"You've come just in time, and I've got something for you to do. After a pause, Xiao Shizhu, who put down the teapot, then said to Lin Cong: "The Qingqiu Fox King is coming, and you know it." I think so, our surveillance of the Qingqiu Fox King must be carried out in secret. We can't let him know that we're watching his every move. But the guards he brought are also very good at counter-reconnaissance, and the Xuanjiao disciples you arranged are best also masters. Don't think that the Qingqiu Fox Country is so easy to deal with and fool. At this juncture, you can't be sloppy. ”。

"Yes. Lin Cong turned his head slowly, and returned with confidence: "Don't worry, the king has already mobilized the masters of the Xuan Sect and the experienced ghost detectives, which are to be used to deal with the Qingqiu Fox King." ”。

"You do things, I don't worry, just don't be complacent and careless. Xiao Shizhu raised his hand pot again, put the spout in his mouth, and took a sip of the tea in the pot.

The sweet tea was swallowed, and the mouth was still faintly sweet.

"Yes. Lin Cong gave Xiao Shizhu this resounding answer.

"Well, there is also the food at the state banquet, which is also checked by you and Chachasi, don't give the Qingqiu Fox Country the opportunity to frame our country for poisoning. Xiao Shizhu, who put down the pot again, added to Lin Cong: "At that time, the envoy of Zhuan Xuan will also be present, once the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom really has a conspiracy to frame and succeed, we will be speechless." ”。

"Yes. Lin Cong, who had taken a sip of tea, responded again, groaned slightly, and asked again: "Is it to control the contact between the special envoy and the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom, and avoid too deep contact between the two countries." ”。

"You don't have to be too deliberate. Xiao Shizhu did not object, and said casually.

"Yes. Lin Cong put down the teacup that had bottomed out and stood up: "The minister will go and arrange these affairs." ”。

With that, he bowed and withdrew.

Xiao Shizhu also fell silent, he stared blankly at the door, not knowing what he was pondering. But I saw a well-fed jade tiger, standing still outside the door of the building, opening his mouth and yawning, and then walking to the side and lying down, the jade tiger who was full of food and sad fell asleep.

The beast souls in the palace are all trained, and there are rules and regulations. Jade Tiger knew that this building was not where they came from.

"The Qingqiu Fox King is coming, this old fox will let you release Tu Yaoqing. After Xiao Shizhu was silent for a long time, the ghost mother, who had been watching the book alone for a long time, suddenly opened her lips and said slowly: "His army is also on the border of our country at the same time. ”。

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a mouse outside the door that came out of nowhere, and he actually slipped into the mouth of the snoring jade tiger with the courage to sniff around, completely ignoring the sturdy jade tiger.

And the ghost mother also picked up a map from the table in front of her, and slowly unfolded it in front of Xiao Shizhu's eyes.

Xiao Shizhu retracted his gaze and looked at the map, when the sleeping jade tiger outside the door suddenly opened his eyes, revealing a fierce light.

Blood splattered and flew, and the damned gray-haired mouse that ate the bear's heart leopard gall didn't even have time to resist before it was bitten in the mouth by the jade tiger. The Jade Tiger's sharp fangs tore the rat apart in a few clicks.

Seeing this, the palace people brought buckets over and began to clean the blood stains on the ground.

Jade Tiger also got up and left the place to wander around.

And the map Xiao Shizhu looked at was the border map of the Gu Shooting Goddess with mushrooms and air cavalry, relaying each other non-stop and arriving at Yuque City at the fastest speed.

It is painted with the mountains and rivers near the Fox Mountain, as well as the marks marked by the goddess of Gu Shot, the location of the Chen soldiers on both sides, and so on.

The goddess sent the map in time, but she miscalculated one thing, this map can not only be understood by Xiao Shizhu, but also by the ghost mother.

This is a request for help, and its function is similar to that of a letter for help. The Ghost Mother thought back to the garrison near the Fox Mountain for a moment to be equipped with weapons and troops, and knew that this was the Goddess of Gu and asked them for help from the air.

"It's only temporary. Xiao Shizhu naturally understood, and when he saw it, he snorted coldly and said: "Okay, okay, this Qingqiu Fox Country doesn't fight with us, so I don't know what it means to hurt, then I'm willing to go to war." ”。

After that, Xiao Shizhu, who bit his back molars fiercely, picked up his pen and wrote an order on a blank piece of paper. Then he picked up the big seal on the table, and after stamping it on the payment, he handed the order to Qing Lan, who was waiting by his side and held the Moon Destroying Sword to him: "Give this to Chunyun and let her act according to the order immediately." ”......

Compared with the sea breeze, the river breeze is a little more gentle and comfortable.

Most of the time, the breeze blowing on the river between the mountains is always soft, refreshing and comfortable.

Facing the river breeze, standing on the deck, the Qingqiu Fox King, who was standing with his hands in his hands, suddenly felt refreshed.

Compared to the strong winds and huge waves on the sea a few days ago, the Qingqiu Fox King felt that it was much more comfortable here.

His fleet, under the leadership of the Nine Shadows Water Division, had entered the Yunmengzhou region along the edge of the Huangquan Sea, still by water rather than by land.

The sailor fleet of the Nine Shadows Country not only followed inseparably on the left and right, but also did not give the Qingqiu Fox King a chance to get off the boat and walk.

The reason for the Nine Shadows Kingdom is very simple - Xiao Shizhu, the King of the Nine Shadows, is still waiting in Yuque City. It's a matter of strolling around, or visiting after the meeting is completed.

The Qingqiu Fox King actually did not object, showing the obedience of a small country when he saw Shangbang, and gladly accepted the suggestion of the Nine Shadows Kingdom.

The fleet of the Nine Shadows Kingdom brought his fleet into Yunmengzhou, walked along the river, and headed all the way to the west.

The flagship of the Nine Shadows Naval Division's fleet, which was responsible for leading the way, also raised the flag of opening the way, hung the knots of the scepter, and fluttered in the wind.

Nowadays, unlike the scepter festivals of other countries, the knots of the Nine Shadows Kingdom have been completely changed to be made of Bai Ze's long jaw beard, which is snow-white and white at a glance, which is very pleasing to the eye. It also has auspiciousness, an auspicious symbol that turns evil into good fortune.

The main reason is that Xiao Shizhu thinks that there is nothing bad about drawing auspicious pictures. The key is to look pleasing to the eye, change it, and there is no objection.

With these in mind, the other ships on the river saw the fleets of the Nine Shadows Kingdom and the Qingqiu Fox King, and they all retreated one after another in order to ensure that the fleets were unimpeded.

And what the Water Master of the Nine Shadows Country took with the Qingqiu Fox King was the largest river in Yunmengzhou, Han Shui.

The whole section of the river is rippling leisurely, from east to west, traversing the entire Yunmengzhou. There are many dangerous canyons, large runoff, abundant hydraulic resources, and excellent shipping conditions.

For thousands of years before, most of the time Yunmengzhou was under the rule of Emperor Yudu's Yuan Ying, and it was not fully developed at all. It belongs to the relatively backward ghost region of the Netherworld.

After Xiao Shizhu killed the Emperor Yuanying of Xudu, surrendered his troops without a fight, and obtained the allegiance of Yunmengzhou and the Sanmiao clan, he took Julong's suggestion to dredge the Han River and guide the river to irrigate both banks. It also sets up culvert gates along the river, which has irrigation and drainage benefits, and rebuilds the river into a river that can be used for boats and boats, increasing the transportation channel of the entire Yunmengzhou.

The fleet of the Nine Shadows Kingdom deliberately led the Qingqiu Fox King to this river.

Although it is a friendly meeting between the two countries, it is also a good opportunity to demonstrate the strength of the Nine Shadows Kingdom. Xiao Shizhu also wanted to pretend to be a faint monarch in front of the Qingqiu Fox King, but he didn't plan to hide too much of the strength of the Nine Shadows Kingdom.

He just wanted the Qingqiu Fox King to see the strength of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, and also to see his mediocrity of being content and enjoying himself. Do your best to build yourself into an image of a loser who has nothing to do but has nothing to do.

Xiao Shizhu, who was also good at deception, knew that it was impossible to hide the strength of the Nine Shadows Kingdom. The Nine Shadows Kingdom can force the Northern Yin Dynasty to the negotiating table, if you want to say that you don't have the strength to look poor, no one will believe it.

On the contrary, the more powerful he is, the easier it is for Xiao Shizhu to show peace of mind, and the easier it is to perform the image of the useless stupid son of the landlord.

Along the way, the Qingqiu Fox King has also seen a lot.

The towns on both sides of the Han River in the Nine Hidden Countries are called a prosperity.

As far as the eye can see, the streets in the town are neatly laid out, crisscrossing the town, reaching every corner of the town in all directions. Surrounded by exquisite or simple houses, high-rise buildings are scattered, and green windows and shops are adjacent. The smoke willow paints the bridge, and the ghosts on the street under the wind curtain are all over the street, and the ghosts come and go endlessly.

Crowded with pedestrians. The shouting and shouting are endless.

In the midst of the hustle and bustle, the city market is even more crowded, and merchants come and go endlessly.

Even at night, the towns along the coast are brightly lit and lively.

Even the wharf along the river outside the town is called a lively one.

Caravans drove sturdy beast souls to and from the docks. The beast soul of the camel cargo is also not empty, and it is always loaded with all kinds of goods on its back.

Qingqiu Fox Country also has such a prosperous scene, but most of them are in big cities, small towns and small towns, and there is no such hustle and bustle.

The Nine Secluded Countries are different, and the towns are all lively. Outside the city, the rice on the ridges of the fields is fat and the corn is white, and the plums are golden and the apricots are fat on the hillsides. Agriculture and industry went hand in hand, creating prosperity everywhere.

"With such prosperity, it's no wonder that the Nine Shadows army can block the army of the Northern Yin Dynasty for more than a few months in a projectile land like Shuoyue Island. Beside the Qingqiu Fox King, Fox Shidou looked at it, only to see that the river bank was full of prosperity, and couldn't help but sigh: "If there is no prosperity and wealth, logistics will definitely not be able to keep up." ”。

Look at the towns and cities, straight underworld connects all places, crosses mountains and rivers, and moves forward. This allowed the transportation routes of the Nine Shadows Kingdom to spread all over the country, facilitating the transportation of merchants and civilians, and also allowing the army to be quickly mobilized to various places.

At the awkward place on the road, the Nine Shadows Country not only garrisoned the army, but also camped on the spot and carried out military cantonment.

The garrison is not bad because of natural dangers to defend, but it is a large number of military cantonments, which can also reduce the burden of military expenses on the imperial court of the Nine Shadows Kingdom.

"Hmph!" The Qingqiu Fox King, who snorted angrily, scolded softly in displeasure: "A bandit burns and loots everywhere, and it has long been prosperous and prosperous, and there is no blood behind it. ”。

Fox Shidou's words were all heart-piercing, so that the Qingqiu Fox King was not only unhappy when he heard it, but also very jealous of Xiao Shizhu.

Therefore, it is inevitable to speak ill of each other.

"It's true that it's bandits, but they are taken from the people and used by the people, so there is such a prosperous scene of the Nine Shadows Kingdom. Fox Shidou seemed to deliberately want to make the Qingqiu Fox King unhappy, and continued to say unhurriedly: "I have to say, at least Xiao Shizhu in the past was a Ming Jun. ”。

If the Qingqiu Fox King turned his head at this time, he would definitely be able to see a trace of admiration flash in the eyes of the fox Shidou beside him, which was admiration for Xiao Shizhu.

"Of course, the wealth that was stolen was squandered, and I didn't even have to worry about it. The hard-mouthed Qingqiu Fox King was still very unconvinced, and continued to argue: "The robbers are squandering money like dirt, are they virtuous?"

In his opinion, he is the only one in the world who is the Holy Lord of the Ming Monarch.

At the same time, he also felt that it would be great if the prosperity of the people was all his Qingqiu Fox King.
