Governor Zhang, who was walking back, had just left the camp and entered the city, and the corners of his mouth were slightly curled, and he showed a treacherous look with a slight smile.

He strode forward and hurried towards his prefect's yamen. After coming to the yamen, he walked through the gate to the lobby, and he immediately retreated before he even had time to take off his official uniform.

There was only one ghost left in the huge lobby, and a ghost came out of the lobby; this ghost was as thin as firewood, dressed in red, and had no hair on his head, and his forehead bone was much higher than other souls, as if he had a bag on his head.

And *'s feet and hands exposed outside the cuffs are only three fingers, and the knuckles are three more than ordinary human souls, which makes his toes and fingers different from ordinary ghosts.

This is a vampurier, a kind of ghost race in the human soul, because of the many killings in life, after death, the soul becomes like this when it reaches the underworld, and has an extreme thirst for all kinds of blood.

And this vamphibal in the yamen of the prefect of Jishi City was sent by the Northern Yin Dynasty. Although the customs and defenses of the Nine Shadows Country are extremely strict, the national border is too long, and there is always a place where it is impossible to send troops to fortify. These places have become the main routes for black market merchants and spies from various countries to infiltrate the Nine Shadows Kingdom.

About half a year ago, not long after Zong Tian proposed the strategy of first making it easier and then making it more difficult, Emperor Xudu, who had suffered two consecutive losses at the hands of Xiao Shizhu, learned the lesson of defeat and decided not to fight against the Nine Shadows Kingdom again.

The Northern Yin Dynasty will not meet with the soldiers of the Nine Shadows Kingdom for the time being, but it does not mean that the Emperor Xudu cannot make small moves behind his back. He also grasped the weakness of Xiao Shizhu to launch two major wars and need to recuperate, and the Emperor Xudu also knew what it means to destroy the embankment of a thousand miles in an anthill. So he carefully selected a group of excellent spies and assassins of the Northern Yin Dynasty and ordered them to infiltrate the Nine Shadows Kingdom.

Among them was the shadow ghost who assassinated Xiao Poria, and the vampoo who was standing beside Governor Zhang's mansion at this time, in the shadows under the pillars of the lobby.

Although most of the spies and assassins were secretly arrested by the Xuanjiao cultists of the Nine Shadows Kingdom or the Chachasi Ghost Messenger not long after they infiltrated. But these spies and assassins were all in one-line contact with Emperor Xudu, and no one knew anyone, even after the Chachasi and Xuanjiao tortured the captured ghosts, there were still a small number of them who safely infiltrated the Nine Shadows Kingdom and hibernated.

After these ghosts loyal to the Emperor of Xudu came to the Nine Shadows Kingdom, in addition to carrying out assassination operations, they also instigated the ghost officials of the Nine Shadows Kingdom to rebel.

Because the security of the Nine Shadows Kingdom is excellent, the assassins who carried out the assassination mission were also exposed as soon as they started the operation, and then they were all arrested one by one, and they failed to make waves, and in the end, the few who were left were those ghosts who were lobbyists.

In several encounters with Xiao Shizhu, Emperor Xudu gradually got to know his opponents, and although the policy of equality of all ghosts and no male superiority and inferiority of women implemented by the Nine Shadows Kingdom quickly won the hearts of the people for the Nine Shadows King, it also made a small number of people unconvinced, and they were extremely disgusted with Xiao Shizhu in private.

These souls come from the ancient world, and the idea of male superiority and inferiority of women has been ingrained in their hearts, and they are all ghosts who have been ghost officials and ghost officials in the underworld, and have enjoyed the hierarchy set by Emperor Xudu for hundreds of years.

Although that kind of hierarchy makes them nod in front of ghosts who are higher than themselves, ghosts who are lower than them have to nod and bow down to them. This gave this small group of souls a great sense of superiority from it.

But after Xiao Shizhu took charge of them, the policy of equality of all ghosts and no male superiority and inferiority of women was implemented throughout the country of the Nine Shadows, and this sense of superiority disappeared overnight, and was replaced by resentment.

Governor Zhang is one of these small groups of human souls. He turned out to be the county official of Zhu Rongguo, although he was only a county official, he was now in charge, and he thought that he was also a majestic ghost in the city under his jurisdiction back then.

After Xiao Shizhu annexed Zhu Rongguo, because he was in urgent need of ghost talents to govern the cities, counties and counties, he promoted some of the original ghost officials of Zhu Rongguo to defend Tuzhi County for him, but the official authority they once had was greatly reduced.

Therefore, the ghost officials of the Nine Shadows Kingdom like them have become the entry point and the target of the lobbyists secretly sent by the Emperor Xudu. That vamphire was in contact with Governor Zhang's Mansion three months ago, and after a long conversation, the two ghosts decided to cooperate.

It just so happened that the news of Xiao Shizhu's inspection came at that time, so the two ghosts hit it off, and formulated a strategy to attract Xiao Shizhu to Jishi City, and then ambush him outside the city.

At this time, Governor Zhang slowly came to the public desk in the depths of the hall and sat down, glanced at the vamphire, and said with a smile on his face: "Xu Cang, your plan is very successful, Xiao Shizhu really only focused on my rampant expropriation. ”。

After finishing the sentence, he thought about it a little, and told the situation of seeing Xiao Shizhu in detail one by one.

"I knew that as long as he Xiao Shizhu learned that you were on a rampage for him, he would definitely go straight to Jishi City. After he finished speaking, this vamphimore named Xu Cang did not show a look of worry, but showed a little satisfaction, and said lightly with a slight chin and a slight head: "He is a ghost who pays attention to the people and the sky, so he will naturally come to clean you up in person." ”。

"Well, it's just a pity that I didn't go into the depths of the gods, so I'm afraid this assassination operation will be tricky. Governor Zhang also nodded, and then said with a slight frown.

It turned out that he went out of the city to greet him, boarded the shrine to meet Xiao Shizhu, and other things, all in preparation for the assassination of Xiao Shizhu.

After thinking for a while, the vamphire named Xu Cang said lightly with a little fear on his face: "But we don't have to enter the shrine, we can lure Xiao Shizhu out, or throw it directly on the shrine*." ”。

After a pause, he asked again, "How many guards are there around Xiao Shizhu?"

"About three or four thousand, all of them are elite forbidden troops. After thinking about it for a while, Governor Zhang replied slowly.

"Are you ready for the fierce fire oil?" After Xu Cang nodded when he heard this, he asked again.

"It's all ready, and the Haoqiang children who were suppressed by Xiao Shizhu have also entered the city. And some of the city defense troops are only loyal to me, and they are willing to fight against the Nine Shadows King with us, once again making the underworld divided into high and low. Governor Zhang leaned his head on the back of the chair, closed his eyes slightly, and said, "Without further ado, you and I can do it tonight, so as not to have too many dreams at night." ”。

"Then burn his guards' tents with fierce fire oil to make them panic, and then immediately lead the sons of Haoqiang and the daredevils I recruited to launch a rebellion and attack the camp. After Xu Cang thought about it carefully, Su Se said: "Once your battle starts, my demon soul guards will take advantage of the chaos to sneak into the camp, get close to the gods, and then bombard the gods with the * transported from the Black Market of Six Heavens Continent. ”。

"Yes. Governor Zhang's eyes suddenly widened, and after a trace of murderous aura flashed in his eyes, he said coldly: "I hope that Emperor Xudu will be honored afterwards, no, Your Majesty can fulfill his promise and let me go to Liutianzhou to be a city god (the supreme administrator of the cities of the Northern Yin Dynasty)." ”......

Just when Governor Zhang and Xu Cang were plotting a plan to assassinate Xiao Shizhu, a human soul and ghost with bright red skin and long black hair scattered on a shawl came from the blood-stained pool city in the west of the capital city and slowly walked towards the city.

Looking at this female ghost's face is only seventeen, eighteen or nineteen, her facial features are also small and exquisite, under the curved thin eyebrows, the pair of crystal eyes on both sides of the bridge of her nose make her even more cute. The fly in the ointment was that her face was too pale, as if a thick layer of flour had been poured on her face, and her first impression to the ghosts was that this girl seemed to be malnourished for a long time.

Behind her were sixteen elderly female ghosts with dark red eyes, wrinkled faces, and curved horns on each side of their heads. The two curved horns that grew on their heads were one long and one short, and each of them was pot-bellied, as if they were pregnant with a ghost fetus.

In the hands of the sixteen female ghosts, they all carried a bulging blood-red cloth bag, but because the cloth bag was full of blood and filth, there was always a faint blood emanating from it.

These sixteen female ghosts are the blood ghosts in the human soul, they are all incarnated by their daughters who died in childbirth, but they are very angry because they died in childbirth.

And this trembling resentment about not being able to have children makes them become bloody ghosts. In addition to often harming mothers in the world, the blood ghosts also have a special ability, that is, without intercourse with male ghosts, as long as they drink the blood water of the hundred ghosts in the blood pool of the underworld, they can immediately conceive a ghost fetus.

And after they conceived for ten months, the remaining little ghosts were all evil ghosts, all of them were four-winged giant birds that could speak human words or murderous demon spirits in the shape of black cats bigger than pigs.

And a year after the birth of these ghost fetuses, they can grow up and take shape, and they can be immediately thrown into the battlefield.

Whenever the Emperor was in short supply, he would always order the blood ghosts to drink the blood of the hundred ghosts in the blood pool, and then produce a large number of ghosts to expand the army for him. And in order to prevent other countries from getting blood ghosts and expand their military strength, Emperor Xudu arranged them all to live in the blood-stained pond city west of Xudu.

Therefore, that city is also called the Bloody Ghost City.

The sixteen bloody ghosts followed closely behind the female ghost led by them, and after entering the city of Xudu in the dusk, they went straight towards Luo Yu Mountain.

When they entered Luo Yu Mountain, they all went to the forbidden army of Xudu, who had been waiting in the mountain, and they arranged for the wind beast soul, and then drove the beast in the forest towards the Six Heavens God and Ghost Palace.

When they came to the palace gate of the Six Heavens Divine Ghost Palace, after getting down from the beast soul, they walked for a while with the palace pavilion under the guidance of the palace slaves, and finally saw the ghost they wanted to see on this trip - Emperor Xudu.

Standing in a black peach blossom forest with his hands in his hands, Emperor Xudu watched the female ghost with the blood paste ghost take light steps, walked to his body and knelt on the ground in a full robe, and shouted softly: "Lady Xuechi greets Your Majesty." After kowtowing to him, Emperor Xudu slowly spoke: "Get up and speak." ”。

"No. The young female worker who claimed to be the Lady of the Blood Pool answered and slowly stood up, still bowing her head slightly, never daring to look directly at the Emperor Xudu.

In the blood-colored twilight of dusk, the surrounding flowers were actually in full bloom in late autumn, and the petals were all black as ink, and after swaying a few times in the evening breeze, the petals fell to the ground with the wind.

"Lady Bloodpool, how many years have you been the city god of Bloodstained Pool City, taking care of all the Blood Slim Ghosts in the underworld for me?"

After some calculations in her heart, Lady Xuechi returned: "Your Majesty, it has probably been more than a thousand years. ”。

As she spoke, Mrs. Xuechi frowned slightly, and a faint incomprehension appeared in her eyes, and then quickly disappeared.

"You haven't rebelled for more than a thousand years, and you can be regarded as a ghost who is loyal to me. After the Emperor Xudu tilted his head slightly, he narrowed his eyes and looked at the female ghost in front of him with interest, and asked unhurriedly: "But ghosts can change, can I still believe you at this time?"

As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Xuechi was horrified, and after she panicked, she trembled slightly, and then bent her knees and hurriedly knelt down, and shouted urgently: "Even if the heavens and the earth are destroyed, the minister has no second thoughts about Your Majesty, I hope Your Majesty will see clearly." ”。
