After arranging Xiao Shizhu and them to live in a quiet place in the south of the Guangming Palace, and explaining that the maids entertained Xiao Shizhu and them, Wu Hui and Changqin got up to say goodbye.

Afterwards, the uncle and nephew strolled through the Palace of Light, wandering around aimlessly.

"Uncle, what do you think of this Xiao Shizhu?" After a few steps, Changqin asked.

Since coming to the underworld, Zhu Rongguo's major affairs have been assisted by him and his uncle, and the two are also Zhu Rong's right-hand men. Gradually, Zhurong Guozhong formed a situation in which everything was decided by Zhu Rong, Wu Hui did foreign affairs, and Changqin did internal affairs.

There are more opportunities for the uncle and nephew to cooperate, so they are becoming more and more connected. makes their relationship become both relatives and good friends who don't talk about anything.

"It's better to be famous than to meet, this Xiao Shizhu is really able to bend and stretch, one moment he was competing with the king, and the next second he can greet the king with a smile for the interests of his country; Wu Hui replied without thinking, but he didn't know that the so-called answer was like Xiao Shizhu chasing ducks to the shelves, asking King Kong to memorize the lines he had written, and then perform them according to the script he wrote to show Zhurong and them.

"Then in your opinion, uncle, he is also a hero?" Changqin smiled indifferently and asked again.

"Hero?" After a question, Wu Hui laughed out loud, and then smiled: "I think the young man who followed him is more courageous." Not only is he calm and calm from beginning to end, but he dares to take the initiative to approach the king without fear. The eyes are deep and sharp, and they seem to be able to penetrate everything. And I also saw a bit of cunning between his eyebrows. ”。

When Wu Hui spoke, his heart was also full of suspicion. Why is there an entourage around Xiao Shizhu that is more capable than him?

"I have also noticed that the human soul, as far as I can observe, there is still a faint rebelliousness between his eyebrows, as if he is not afraid of anything, and deep in his eyes, there is also the confidence that any difficulty can be solved. Changqin bowed his head slightly, and said thoughtfully: "But Xiao Shizhu can take him under his command to serve for himself, which shows that he is also very capable." A few days ago, I heard that the ghost king surrendered to the ghost mother country, and today I actually saw him willingly help Xiao Shizhu lead the mount, but there is no resentment at all, it can be seen that the rumors say that Xiao Shizhu is a corporal and knows how to make good use of it is true. ”。

It was his words that completely dispelled all the doubts in Wu Hui's heart. So Wu Hui also nodded and smiled: "That's right." ”。

He slowly walked to the edge of the corridor and stood still, looked up at the banyan tree in the courtyard in front of him, and sighed: "The ghost mother country is indeed the land of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. ”。

"yes. Changqin stepped forward, stood side by side with him, and said: "Although such a country is small, its strength is not weak, and it is time to negotiate peace with them." Emperor Xudu has always wanted to find fault with us, and this year he has increased the amount of tribute, and now many friends are better than enemies. ”。 After finishing speaking, he also raised his eyes and looked up at the banyan tree in the courtyard and thought.

Wu Hui smiled but did not speak, without squeaking.

"Prince, General Wu Hui. At this moment, a ghost slave came towards them, and after standing beside them, he saluted and said, "The king has invited the two of you to go to the Xuanhuo Hall to discuss matters." ”。

"Got it. After Changqin replied casually, he called Wu Hui to follow the ghost slave forward.

Together with the ghost slaves, they returned to the building called Xuanhuo Hall where Zhu Rong received Xiao Shizhu and them, and after saluting Zhu Rong, they saw Zhu Rong frowning and getting up, walked to them and handed them the book of discussion and silk, and said, "Take a look." ”。

Wu Hui stretched out his hand to take it and unfolded it, and looked at it with Changqin. After a moment, they glanced at each other, and then turned their heads to look at Zhu Rong in unison.

"Father, there is nothing excessive about these terms?" Seeing Zhu Rong's face with a faint gloomy, Changqin asked a little unreasonably.

"There is really nothing excessive in the peace book brought by Xiao Shizhu. Zhu Rong said, sat on the chair behind the bookcase, and snorted angrily: "The unpopular thing is that the co-workers actually dare to pit the king." ”。 As he spoke, the five fingers of his right hand clenched into a fist, and he hammered the stone pillar beside him.

"Dozens of warships and tens of thousands of soldiers should be counted on the heads of the coworkers. Seeing that they didn't speak, Zhu Rong blew his beard and glared and asked, "What do you say?" Xiao Shizhu let King Kong inadvertently say a sentence, which successfully aroused Zhu Rong's revenge against the co-workers. The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and decided to work together to see some colors.

"Brother Wang, with all due respect, it's not easy to move troops at this time. Changqin didn't speak, but Wu Hui thought about it: "In the last war, we lost not only warships and soldiers, but also a lot of materials. ”。

His words were approved by Changqin. What's more, as soon as he moves the sword soldiers, he will lose his life and money, which is the last thing Changqin wants to see, so he immediately nodded to Zhu Rong and said, "Father, what my uncle said is very true. Moreover, Xiao Shizhu has already proposed peace, which can help us recover our national strength faster. ”。

"In the last battle of Shuoyue Island, Gonggong also lost a lot of warships and soldiers, and he also needs to restore his national strength, but he is still using troops against the head country; ”。

After speaking, he walked to a bookshelf, pulled out a map from a middle grid, walked to the bookcase, unfolded the map on the bookcase, and beckoned to them.

Changqin and Wu Hui both know that in addition to being easy to be impulsive, Zhu Rong also has a problem that he must do. No matter who it is, I can't persuade it. So he had to quietly shake his head a little helplessly, and walked to Zhu Rong to stand still.

"Here and here, and here. Zhu Rong repeatedly pointed to the three cities on the map, in the southeast border of Zhurong Kingdom, in the mountains bordering the Gonggong Country, and said angrily: "Wu Hui, you will lead a large army to attack these places on the same day." Note that this time it is not an occupation but a plunder. Resources, goods, and captives were brought back to the widows. The widow can still organize an army of 100,000 for you in a short period of time. ”。

Wu Hui took the order. Although the foolish and loyal Wu Hui felt that this could take advantage of the co-workers, the top priority should be to restore the national strength as soon as possible, but seeing that Zhu Rong had already made a decision, he had no choice but to bow and respond.

"Father, have you agreed to the peace talks?" Changqin then asked. Compared with Zhu Rong and Wu Hui, Changqin, who has been dealing with internal affairs for a long time, is more concerned about the interests of the people in China; And peace can bring stability to the people in the country, so he attaches more importance to peace at this time.

"Well, it's good for us too, of course. Zhu Rong raised his right index finger again, and the fingertips made a "crackling" sound, and then a flame appeared out of thin air, beating on his fingertips, like a fairy dancing in the night, but it still rotated around his fingertips, unable to hurt his fingers for half a minute.

"Changqin, the matter of peace talks will be left to you in charge. After finishing speaking, Zhu Rong waved his hand, signaling that Wu Hui and Changqin could retreat. From beginning to end, he squinted at the flames dancing on his fingertips......

"This Zhu Rong is also too powerful, he can actually control the fire and play. Xiao Shizhu, who was living in the house, looked curiously at the dancing flames in the quaint round-bellied four-legged stone brazier in the middle of the room, and slowly asked, "How do his hands grow when they fall to the bottom?

"This is the ability of the Zhurong clan. As soon as he finished speaking, the ghost captives had already slowly spoken, and said leisurely: "When I was in the world, in order to fight against the evil gods, the good gods gave these souls who called themselves old gods some magic skills. Therefore, these clans have their own characteristics. ”。

Xiao Shizhu slowly turned his head and looked at the ghost captive blankly, opening his lips but not speaking.

Since his surrender, the ghost captives haven't talked much, and many times he just looks at it and doesn't say anything, at most he just smiles lightly.

Even if there is a word, it is a few simple words, such as: "Yes." "Okay. "Okay!OK!", and so on, I didn't expect him to say so much in one breath today, which surprised Xiao Shizhu and King Kong.

"Hehe, it's really strange. Xiao Shizhu looked at King Kong and Hu Hui and smiled, walked to the sitting ghost and sat down, touched the other party's shoulder with his shoulder, and said, "Brother, if you didn't say so many things in one breath today, I thought you would have been that kind of taciturn stuffy gourd all along?" As he spoke, he raised his hand and put his arms around the ghost king like a brother.

At the same time, it also aroused Xiao Shizhu's interest, he remembered that Mo Zhai had also mentioned the old gods to him, but he had always thought that these so-called old gods were just exaggerating themselves, and naturally they didn't study them.

Now it seems that he was wrong, and these so-called old gods are really capable.

"You kid. The ghost captive scolded angrily, hurriedly shook off the hand he put on his shoulder, and then sneered and said, "No, you don't even know this?" After the death of the country, he watched Xiao Shizhu's words and deeds every day, and gradually became a little convinced of Xiao Shizhu, knowing that this little ghost did have some skills, which he could not reach.

It's just that he was destroyed by this little ghost, and he was very unwilling. Therefore, although he surrendered, he didn't know how to talk to Xiao Shizhu.

On the other hand, he was grateful to Xiao Shizhu for taking good care of their father and daughter, and he didn't do anything unkind to them at all, but was courteous, and gave them food and clothing. Therefore, the ghost captives have been entangled for more than ten days. He was only convinced by Xiao Shizhu, but he hadn't taken it orally. Until today, he found a topic and finally mustered up the courage to communicate with Xiao Shizhu. Although the tone sounds like ridicule, it actually doesn't have this heart.

"I really don't know, but after I came to the underworld, I found that a lot of history is completely different from what is recorded in the human world. King Kong was furious when he heard this, and was about to teach the ghost captives a lesson, but was interrupted by Xiao Shizhu, who was unimpressed, raised his hand, and then turned his head to look at the ghost captives with curious eyes, and begged with a smile: "Quick, quick, quick, tell me about this, this old god, or what are these old gods?"

"Please, big brother, you are now the general of the Mighty Xuanyan Continent, can you not be so low-voiced. "The princes and kings who are used to being unsmiling, the ghosts can't stand Xiao Shizhu's squeezing eyebrows, so they sigh and say: "To put it simply, they are the ancestors of the earliest human beings and human souls. In order to deal with the evil gods, the ancient gods granted them some magic skills. ”。

"Of course, there are also moles in human beings, and many in the later stage of the war also attracted a small number of moles for the sake of evil gods. The means, naturally, is to teach divine arts as a condition, so that a small number of human souls will stand on their side. "As a former member of the evil god camp, the Ghost King knows this very well. Now that the conversation box is open, he can't stop.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, raised the teacup and took a sip of fragrant tea, and said to Xiao Shizhu: "The temptation of power is very terrifying. So under this temptation, the old gods were born one by one. ”。
