The coals were fiddled by him, and then burst into sparks with a crackling sound, swirling and flying in the wind.

Although Xiao Shizhu's face was as usual unfazed and calm, he was still a little worried in his heart, he was worried that the ghost male in front of him would not agree to his request, thus causing the Nine Shadows Kingdom to lose a ghost talent.

After a moment of silence, Xiao Shizhu said again: "But in the future, when I want to march to the northwest and attack the corpse of Haobi, I want you to stand on the battlefield." ”。

"Is it true that the officialdom of the Nine Shadows Kingdom doesn't pay attention to the background, but only values the strength?" Xia Shiyuan, who pondered for a moment in silence, then asked the letter suspiciously.

"Of course, you can casually inquire about any of my ghost officials or ghost generals, who are not promoted by merit. Xiao Shizhu, who was a little heavy-handed, said confidently: "In my ghost country, there is really no one who relies on nepotism. Even if it is my sworn brothers, Lu Wuyingzhao and Qin Yuan, which of them is not in a battle today?".

Hearing this, Xia Shiyuan, who lowered his eyebrows slightly, thought for a moment, and finally nodded, and said, "If this is the case, I am willing to serve the Nine Shadows King and the Nine Shadows Kingdom." ”。

After saying this, he immediately stood up and knelt down to Xiao Shizhu, and said sonorously: "Before and after the saddle, until death." ”。

He has the ability but has been depressed, just because he has no back and background in Xiazhou at all, and he can't cover the sky with one hand in the court like Yudu them;

Xiao Shizhu hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and said in his mouth: "Then we have to follow the rules of our Nine Shadows Kingdom, and first change your habit of kneeling; We're ghosts, but don't bend your knees at every turn. Awe is not in this kneeling, but in the heart. I don't want your knees, but sincere faithfulness. ”。

Xia Shiyuan smiled awkwardly, scratched his head in response, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "This Nine Shadows Kingdom is really a maverick. ”。 At the same time, he also strengthened his determination to serve the Nine Shadows Kingdom.

"Go down, I'll arrange for him to take you back to the capital." Then Xiao Shizhu waved his hand and motioned for Xia Shiyuan to retreat.

"No. Xia Shiyuan bowed his hand and retreated.

Xiao Shizhu, who watched him leave slowly, didn't expect that he could achieve Lu Wuying to recruit them back then, and today he has also achieved a new ghost general. In the future war, Xia Shiyuan made great contributions to the Eastern Expedition and Western Expedition of the Nine Hidden Kingdoms.

Xia Shiyuan had just left, and it was drizzling outside the tent, and the gloomy yin air fell from the sky with the yin wind and rain, which made Xiao Shizhu refreshed for a while.

The raindrops of beans hit the tent with a crackling sound. Xiao Shizhu was about to sit down, taking advantage of the rare leisurely drink tea and listen to the rain, when he was sitting cross-legged on the felt cloth on the edge of the fire pit, the tent door was suddenly opened by a ghost.

The wind blew, and the ghost fire in the fire pit swayed suddenly, turning from turquoise to blue, and then from blue to eerie turquoise.

The fungus man Shenji rushed in, and it wasn't until Xiao Shizhu stood still beside him that he said breathlessly: "Big, big, it's not good, it's not good, it's good, it's right, it's for our, the Xuanjiao stronghold, it's open, it's started, it's cleaned!"

Xiao Shizhu was stunned when he heard this, and the teacup he raised stopped at his lips, and he slowly turned his head, looked at it with an incredible gaze that gradually rose, and said in surprise: "What?"

Xuanjiao has always used a one-line approach, even if one of the ghosts or a group of ghosts is caught, it is impossible to implicate the others;

"The spies of the Northern Yin Dynasty, the king of the city among the Hades kings, captured one of our strongholds, and then he immediately implemented a strategy of not leaving behind the ghosts who had dealings with the strongholds. In this way, one of our ten strongholds in Xudu was actually implicated. Shen Ji was saddened and whispered, "There are more than a thousand innocent ghosts who also died in this purge. ”。

After a pause, Shen Ji reported the news he had received to Xiao Shizhu one by one.

"Would you rather kill the wrong one than let it go?" After he finished speaking, Xiao Shizhu gasped, and his eyes burst out with anger like ghost fire in a fire pond, jumping with the yin wind blowing from the gap in the middle of nowhere.

"Yes. Shen Ji lowered his head slightly, his face a little sad. But I have to admit that although the City King's move killed innocents indiscriminately, it caused a lot of losses to the Nine Shadows Kingdom.

Overnight, the underground stronghold of the Nine Shadows Kingdom in Xudu was almost pulled out, and the intelligence network was almost paralyzed. Xiao Shizhu felt resentful for a while, and couldn't help but feel sad for his outstanding disciples who had sacrificed.

Even in the silence, he could clearly feel his heart twitching. Every time he twitched, it was like an invisible little hand suddenly pinching his heart, which made him feel a heart-wrenching pain.

"What are the three of our surviving strongholds?" After a moment, Xiao Shizhu slowly closed his eyes and asked categorically.

"Lao Li's stronghold in the south of the city, the stronghold in the palace of the Song Emperor, and of course the stronghold of the subordinates of the shogun, were not affected and implicated, and they were still safe and sound. Moreover, none of the bacteria who spread the message in the various bases were implicated. After thinking about it for a while, Shen Ji slowly returned, and after finishing speaking, he clenched his fists, roared at Xiao Shizhu with an almost roar, and said angrily: "Lord, you must avenge these compatriots." ”。

Xiao Shizhu was silent, just tilted his head heavily.

Let him suffer a loss, he has nothing to say, but it is not his style to take advantage of it if he suffers.

He stared at the coals of fire wrapped in ghost fire in the fire pit in front of him. After a long time, he slowly spoke: "Order the Xuanjiao stronghold in the capital to stay still, and don't take any action for the time being. ”。

After a pause, he turned his head to look at Shenji and beckoned, and Shenji hurriedly jumped on his shoulder.

"You tell Hu Hui to do it. Xiao Shizhu whispered something in his ear, and after muttering something in a low voice, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you understand?"

Shen Ji nodded thoughtfully, and said, "I'll do it." ”。 As he spoke, he jumped off his shoulders and walked out of the tent.

Xiao Shizhu looked at his departing back, squinted again, and a trace of cold killing intent overflowed from the depths of his eyes......

The capital is filled with this rich ghostly atmosphere, and every grass, tree, brick and tile is full of gloomy atmosphere.

When night fell, except for the ghost markets in all directions of the city, which were brightly lit and extremely lively, the rest of the city fell into silence.

On the Luo Yu Mountain behind the city, the palaces are also brightly lit. The pale green ghost fire on the lampstand, emitting a soft blue light, there is an indescribable weirdness.

The yin wind blew through the mountains, sending out bursts of sharp roars, blowing the ancient ghost trees on the mountains with a rustling sound, like an old man, sneering in a hoarse voice.

The nodules on the ghost tree's body, which looked like a screaming human face, were about to come out in the whistling wind, and their faces were even more hideous.

But this is the underworld after all, and no matter how weird it is, it is a wonderful sight in the eyes of the ghosts.

In the inner court of the Six Heavenly Gods and Ghosts Palace, there is a building called the Immortal Pavilion.

The plane of this pavilion is in shape, and it is formed by a square pavilion on all sides. In front of the four sides of the building, there are steps made of bright red blood jade, and the surrounding railings are also made of blood jade, and the green glazed sill wall is decorated with yellow turtle back brocade patterns, and the heart of the sill window and the partition door are all the clusters of flowers on the other side, and the color painting of the sunset of the Styx River is applied by Liang Fangshi.

Heavy eaves accumulate spires, the lower eaves Shi single ang three step on the bucket, the lower eaves above the change to a circle, Shi single ang five step on the bucket.

As far as workmanship is concerned, the fineness of this pavilion is no less than that of the Longwei Pavilion in the Juexiang Garden in the Yuque Palace, and even surpasses it.

The grass and trees outside the pavilion are verdant, and the fire in the pavilion is swaying.

In front of the screen in the depths of the pavilion, one is made of Shangcheng Dan wood, with a three-screen enclosure, and a hundred treasures embedded on it, and the back of the backrest is covered with broken lines on the throne, and the Emperor Xudu sits on it.

On the two bronze human soul lamps on the left and right of his hand, the flames of beans swayed gently.

Standing in front of the Emperor Xudu without saying a word was the city king with a slightly complacent face.

This time, he made a bold move, vigorously and resolutely cleaned up several strongholds of the Nine Shadows Kingdom in Xudu, and pulled out the eyes and ears of the Nine Shadows Kingdom in Xudu, which can be regarded as a great hero of the Northern Yin Dynasty.

Emperor Xudu was calm, not surprised or pleased, and even had a hint of brain pain. Under the quick knife of the city king, among the ghosts that were killed, many of them were innocent ghosts who could not be determined to be the spies of the Nine Shadows Kingdom.

Although Emperor Xudu has always regarded the ghost people's ghost fate as a mustard, he is unwilling to blatantly admit that he has such thoughts; Now that the King of the City is so blatantly killing, he can't help but feel that the King of the City's move is tantamount to discrediting the Beiyin Dynasty.

Moreover, Emperor Xudu believes that the other party is still a high-level black. On the surface, it seems to be a loyal move, but in fact, it has caused a miasma of smoke in the imperial capital of the Northern Yin Dynasty, which makes the Emperor Xudu have a headache.

In just two days, Yudu was immersed in a tense atmosphere of ghosts and ghosts, and all ghosts were in danger. Everyone is afraid that the next person to be cut off from the streets for no reason is himself.

At such a moment, the people were provoked to change and Xiao Shizhu had the handle to spread rumors, and for a moment, Emperor Xudu even suspected that the city king was a traitor sent by Xiao Shizhu.

However, he has dealt with Xiao Shizhu a lot, although Emperor Xudu is suspicious, but in the absence of full evidence, he is still willing to secretly suspect it, and he must not be killed by Xiao Shizhu with a knife and cut off his right-hand man.

After silently looking at the Hades in front of him for a long time, he put away the doubts in his heart, showed a faint smile, and said slowly: "You have done a good job in this matter, and it is a great achievement. ”。

As soon as these words came out, the city king was even more ecstatic; if it weren't for the presence of the Emperor Xudu, he really seemed to be dancing with his hands, shouting a few times happily with his throat pulled.

But now in front of him is the Emperor Xudu, no matter how happy the city king is, he has to restrain himself, he grinned, and then bowed his robe again and again: "This is what a minister should do!"

"Well, that's exactly what you have to do. Emperor Xudu was also not polite, and after saying this bluntly, when the king of the city was suddenly stunned, he said: "But this incident has caused the panic in the city now, who should wipe this ass clean?"

When he finished speaking, an interested gaze burst out of his eyes, and fell on the face of the city king who slowly raised his head in a daze, and after a circle, he revealed a cold gaze.

"The minister also wanted to solve problems for His Majesty and do his best for the court, but he didn't expect it to cause the ghost people to be so panicked. After shaking his whole body, beads of sweat the size of beans trickled down the forehead of the city king who was in a hurry.
