In the Jade Que Palace, the hot spring under the stone boat flows down the canal that connects to the north of the pond towards a cave in the mountain wall in the distance.

This cave is not big or deep, the length is only about ten zhang, and the width is only more than one zhang. There is a water channel that is seven zhang long and half zhang wide in the cave, and follows the trend of the cave and twists and turns. The hot spring water that flows into the cave from outside the cave fills the canal.

After a long run, the hot spring water reached the cave and became moderately hot.

When the heat rises, you can see that the roof of the cave is inlaid with hundreds of fist-sized bright moon beads, illuminating the entire cave as if it were day.

Xiao Shizhu was naked at this time, soaking in the canal filled with hot springs in the cave, soaking all the parts of his body and shoulders in the water, leaning against the edge of the canal, his face was a little comfortable.

Recently, he has been running around one after another, but he has not been able to rest well, although he does not feel too tired with his mysterious power, but he still wants to take a break;

After soaking comfortably in the hot spring, Xiao Shizhu's whole body was relaxed.

After soaking for a while, there was actually a wave of sleepiness that made him yawn long and wide, and then closed his eyes slightly to recuperate.

As soon as the yawn landed, a ghost shadow flashed through the entrance of the cave, jumped into the cave and headed towards Xiao Shizhu. Xiao Shizhu was half asleep and half awake, and felt a demon soul breath coming towards him, not only was he not frightened, but he was not surprised, but asked lightly in the direction of the cave entrance: "What are you doing in a hurry?"

After a pause, he added, "This hole is slippery, you should be careful with your step." ”。

"Big brother's perception is getting stronger and stronger. After the ghost stood still in front of him, he replied with a smile: "You can notice me coming quietly." ”。

"You're still quiet. Xiao Shizhu opened his eyes slightly, glanced at the ghosts, and saw a human face with an unsmiling face and a paralyzed face, a tiger body and tiger claws, and a nine-tailed demon spirit standing beside him, it was his third brother Lu Wu.

"Are you going to come down for a meeting too?" Xiao Shizhu asked with a grin.

"No, I'm here to deliver you a message. Saying that, Lu Wu took out a letter from his arms, squatted down, handed the letter in his hand to Xiao Shizhu, and smiled: "You would never have thought that this letter was for you." ”。

Xiao Shizhu didn't reach out to receive the letter, but first picked up the dry towel from the side of the canal and wiped the fingers of his palm, and then looked at the smugness in Lu Wu's smile with the soft fluorescent light emitted by the bright moon bead, and asked thoughtfully: "It can't be the Emperor of Xudu, right?"

"Half of the guess is right, it's the younger brother of Emperor Xudu. After he took the letter, Lu Wu continued to smile: "Fenglin Continent has Ji Xuanyuan, the lord of the Xiong Kingdom, who is the Yellow Emperor recorded in the books of the world; ”。

"Yellow Emperor?" Xiao Shizhu was slightly stunned, looked at the letter in his hand and muttered for a while, then tore open the envelope and took out the letter in it, and unfolded it to look at it carefully.

Over the years, most of the princes and kings of the underworld feel that Xiao Shizhu was born as a ghost slave and his status is not high, so he has no correspondence with him in private, this Ji Xuanyuan even occupies himself as the Yellow Emperor in the world, and a little ghost like Xiao Shizhu can't get into his eyes, let alone have any intersections.

Therefore, today's sudden letter is also very abrupt.

The hot spring water gas rose, and after reading the letter in his hand for a moment through the bright moon bead on the top of the cave, Xiao Shizhu frowned suddenly, and muttered suspiciously: "It's really strange that there are many things every year, especially this year." ”。

Curiosity flashed across Lu Wu's face, and he asked Xiao Shizhu after a probe: "What's the matter, big brother? Is Ji Xuanyuan trying to blackmail us?"

"It's good that he wants to blackmail. Xiao Shizhu smiled, then frowned and said suspiciously: "This guy has never had anything to do with the Nine Shadows Kingdom, and he suddenly wrote a letter saying that he was willing to trade with us, and he didn't know what his heart was." ”。

"Trade?" Lu Wu was slightly stunned, and looked at Xiao Shizhu with wide eyes.

Lu Wu paused, stretched out his hand to take the letter handed by Xiao Shizhu, and after taking a look at the handwriting on the letter through the bright moon and pearlescent light on the top of the cave, he also frowned, and after a sigh, he smiled slightly: "This is really strange, what is this Ji Xuanyuan going to make trouble?"

Xiao Shizhu didn't say anything, but shook his head silently and thought to himself.

But after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't figure out what Ji Xuanyuan's purpose was in doing this?

At this time, Lu Wu opened his mouth and asked, "Big brother, how did you reply to this letter?"

Xiao Shizhu still didn't say anything, just stood up from the hot spring water by himself, picked up a dry towel and wiped all the water droplets off his body, and slowly asked, "How did this letter come from?"

After Lu Wu thought about it for a while, he said: "Ji Xuanyuan sent a few souls to send the letter to Heilong County, and Jumang sent someone to send this letter to the capital. ”。

"The ghost sent by Ji Xuanyuan didn't come to the country with the letter, right?" Xiao Shizhu asked again, and tightened the belt around his waist.

"Nope. Lu Wu replied in the affirmative.

"Then leave it alone, just don't receive this letter. Xiao Shizhu, who was fully dressed, beckoned Lu Wu to walk slowly outside the cave with him, and said slowly: "Everyone knows that he Ji Xuanyuan and Youxiong are loyal to Emperor Xudu;

"That's what my little brother thinks. Lu Wu also nodded in agreement, and then said: "Maybe Ji Xuanyuan wants a reason to attack our country. If we don't agree to this trade, he will send troops. ”。

"The teacher is famous!" Xiao Shizhu, who walked to the cave and stood still, sneered, and said in a deep voice: "Then I won't be scared! There is a bear country in the land of only seven counties, which is larger than the Gonggong country back then, and it is still remote, I am afraid that Ji Xuanyuan will have a ghost. ”。

After speaking, he turned his face, suddenly showed a little evil smile, turned his head to look at Lu Wu with interest, and said triumphantly: "I heard that he has four concubines and ten concubines, and there are fourteen wives, right? What are you coughing, your throat is uncomfortable, you can eat some pipa later, if he dares to come to fight the Nine Shadows Kingdom, and let Lao Tzu not speak, why pull my sleeve...... Hey, where did I just go? If he Ji Xuanyuan rushes to attack me, Lao Tzu will dare to kill him, and bring his wives to enrich the harem. ”。

Just after speaking, Xiao Shizhu turned around suddenly, glared at Lu Wu and said angrily: "Stinky boy, why do you keep pulling my sleeves......?

Before he finished speaking, his words suddenly broke off, his mouth opened slightly, and he saw Lu Wu, who was standing aside with his head down, raised his hand and pointed to his side without saying a word.

Looking in the direction of Lu Wu's finger, he saw the ghost mother with red lips and white teeth, standing not far from Lu Wu's side, looking at him with a smile and a word. is also followed by Lai Yueqi and Chen Ruo.

"Hehe, wife, why are you here?" Xiao Shizhu was stunned for a moment, and asked with a hippie smile rubbing his hands. But his forehead was instantly covered with sweat, and I don't know if it was from the hot springs.

"Say, go on, which wild girl ghost do you like again? Just thinking about expanding the harem?" the ghost mother asked with a smile, and there was no anger on her face.

"No, which wild girl ghost can compare with your wife. It's enough for me to have you and the moon girl in my harem. Xiao Shizhu smiled, walked to the ghost mother's side and took the ghost mother's hand, gently stroked the back of the other party's hand, and said, "Don't be careful, I'm just bragging to my brother." ”。

"I didn't say anything. After the ghost mother said with a smile, she took the opportunity to hold Xiao Shizhu's hand: "Are you done with the hot spring?"

Xiao Shizhu nodded hurriedly.

The ghost mother twisted his arm immersively, and continued to smile and groan: "Okay, let's go, let's refuse Xiangyuan." ”。

Xiao Shizhu was in pain, but he didn't dare to shout, so he had to nod and say, "Okay." After that, with the ghost mother Chenruo and Lai Yueqi, they went to the Juexiang Garden together.

Leaving Lu Wu standing at the entrance of the cave, looking at Xiao Shizhu who was gradually moving away, he laughed hehehehe......

Fenglin Continent, on the earth mountain of the headless ghost country, the flames almost covered the entire southern slope, and the raging flames swept the hot wind, encouraging the heat wave to crawl recklessly in the mountains, devouring all combustible things, and forcing the bear army guarding the pass to not be able to break out of the pass at all.

The battle between the headless ghost soldiers and the headless ghost soldiers became more and more intense, and the strong smell of blood swirled in the wind. In the howling wind, the sound of weapons clashing and sparks can be seen everywhere.

The headless ghost soldiers are not only brave, but also hate betrayal. Qixing and his men thoroughly enraged them. It made them resentful of the compatriots they were fighting with, and even more hated the Xiong Army trapped in the mountains by the flames.

However, Qixing has a large number of subordinates, and some of them are all elite divisions in the headless ghost country. And Xingtian's army fought with the Youxiong army for a long time, and his physical strength was already exhausted. In less than half an hour, more than half of them were killed and wounded by the rebels.

Retreated to Xingtian, who was only half a foot away from Qixing, holding the handle of the huge axe hanging from his waist, his eyebrows were upside down and he stared at Qixing not far away, and asked angrily: "Qixing, let me ask you again, do you really want to rebel?"

The sound of questioning fell to the ground, and the ground under the feet of the two ghosts trembled slightly.

"I'm not against it, I'm always just a general, if I do, I'm a king. The cold star in his eyes looked at the angry Xingtian, and said in a deep voice: "Father-in-law, you can die quietly!"

With a wave of his hand, dozens of Qixing's pro-soldiers rode the Fenglin Continent Black Tiger and rushed forward and surrounded Xingtian.

"My life is up to me, not you!" Xing Tian roared, gripped the handle of the axe with both hands, raised the axe in his hand above his head, and slashed down at the oncoming black tiger.

The axe fell to the ground in an instant, smashing out the Dao crack on the ground, and the black tiger's head had already split in two. And Qixing, who was still confronting him just now, also ran away without a trace.

Xingtian, who was covered in beast blood, didn't bother to care about him, and the axe in his hand was chopping and slashing, whistling and killing the rebels around him.

The Xingtian guards who were nearby, seeing that he was surrounded by Qixing's black* soldiers, rushed towards him without saying a word. These soldiers were extremely fierce, slashing all the way forward like a broken bamboo, until they reached the back of Xingtian's side before stopping. The captain of the guard grabbed Xingtian, who looked like a mad dog, and shouted: "King, let's escape first and then think about it in the long run." ”。

It's not that he doesn't want to teach these rebels a hard lesson, it's just that there are too many rebels who come prepared, and they are a tired army, and they have already suffered heavy casualties in less than half an hour.
