Heat waves and scorching winds still whipped up in the wilderness, distorting the surrounding landscape.

Xiao Shizhu just looked around the scorched battlefield, and knew how many enemy troops were ambushed here. Judging from the fact that there were two or three corpses within three or five steps of the battlefield, there was at least a hundred thousand troops in ambush here.

In such a situation, once it is just to pursue the enemy army, it is not a way. will put a large number of enemy troops into the valley, and Xiao Shizhu was still in the valley at that time, with only a few guards around him.

The national teacher Yingying and they were also forced to do so.

To deal with a large number of enemy troops in an instant, so that the number is not at a disadvantage and can catch the enemy off guard, except for Qin Yuan's magic trick of summoning poisonous insects, the rest is the heavenly fire of the female lu.

It was the decisiveness of the national teacher Yingying and the hard work of the female lu that Xiao Shizhu's army did not suffer heavy casualties.

"Well done. Xiao Shizhu, who stretched his brows, looked at the national teacher Yingying with a slight chin, affirmed her merits, and walked to Shi Cianming and Nulu, and asked Nulu, "Are you okay?"

"It's fine. The female shook her head and smiled. But the blood of his face was very pale and more pale in the moonlight.

And the frequent and tired spells, hanging between the five senses.

"Here you go. Xiao Shizhu took out a porcelain bottle, which contained a secret pill made by Su Tianju, which could effectively relieve the fatigue after using too much ghost qi. It was originally used to heal him, but Xiao Shizhu didn't think about it and handed it to Nulu.

"Take it. The female lu still had to shirk, Xiao Shizhu had already stuffed the medicine bottle into her hand, walked to Tai Feng, who was cleaning up the enemy and was facing him, and looked the one-armed ghost covered in blood up and down: "Injured?"

"Nope. Tai Feng also looked down at the blood stains and a little red on his body, and said with a smile: "It's not my blood, it's those stubborn enemy soldiers." ”。

"Looks like you've killed a lot of enemies. Xiao Shizhu was relieved a lot, and then said: "Take Qin Yuan and the soldiers and speed up the cleaning of the battlefield." Gather everything we can use and eat, and then we quickly get out of here. ”。

Taifeng nodded in response, then turned away.

"My lord, although there were not many casualties in this battle, there were still a few wounded soldiers. The national teacher Yingying followed, and whispered in Xiao Shizhu's ear: "There are about nearly a thousand, how to deal with it?"

"Are there any serious injuries that need amputation or are unconscious?" Xiao Shizhu just asked after a little hesitation.

The hot wind was still rolling, and there was nothing but scorching and bloody all around, and the whole moonlit wilderness had no soft beauty as it should be, only scorched marks, and some chaos.

Xiao Shizhu saw some sergeants and was bandaging the wounds of the wounded sergeants.

"There are no broken hands and feet, and they are still easy to move, but we are short of medicine, so we can only bandage them for the time being. National Teacher Yingying shook her head and said.

Xiao Shizhu thought about it and said, "Take it all with you." ”。

In fact, if he didn't bring a large army, it would be easier for him to hide and hide his whereabouts. But after all, Queen Huangquan knew where he would go in the end, and she must have already set up defenses in advance. And most of his ghost life has been sucked away now and his ability is insufficient, and it will really be difficult to move forward without a large army by his side.

Moreover, if it weren't for these soldiers, it would be difficult for him Xiao Shizhu to get out of the Huangquan Holy Land. At this moment, because they were injured, they were going to be left behind, and Xiao Shizhu really couldn't do this kind of treacherous thing.

"Take it, and not one of them will be left behind. After a pause, Xiao Shizhu added.

"No. The national teacher Yingying did not have any objections, and went to give the order after answering the call.

"Thank you. Before the national teacher Yingying left, Ke Yun walked up and stood beside Xiao Shizhu.

"Thank me for what?" Xiao Shizhu asked lightly as he raised his sword in the night breeze and looked around.

"Thank you for not abandoning the wounded ghost soldiers. Ke Yun said with his head lowered slightly, his eyes full of joy and gratitude.

"It's what I have to do, nothing to thank. Xiao Shizhu said this disappreciatively, before he withdrew his gaze from looking around and fell on Ke Yun's face: "You are familiar with the terrain, take out the map, and let's discuss how to proceed next." ”。

After speaking, he sat on the ground and waited for Ke Yun to take out the map.

"We are short of medicine now, and the Queen of Yellow Springs has sent a pursuer for sure. Ke Yun, who was also sitting on the ground across from him, took out the map and spread it out on the charred black earth in the bright moonlight.

The moon in the sky was very bright, and it was not necessary to light the lamp.

"Now it's not just a matter of chasing the soldiers, but also the Queen of Yellow Springs knows our destination, and will definitely set up a card on our way to prevent us from escaping Yellow Springs. Xiao Shizhu nodded a few times, his eyes swept over the map on the ground in front of him, and he smiled bitterly and said, "It's really a real chase and interception, and you can still let me meet it." ”。

Now in his physical condition, although the Xuan Power is able to function, he is always easy to get tired after being drained of so many ghost lives, especially after performing the Divine Ghost Technique.

In such a situation, Xiao Shizhu just wanted to kill seven and nearly seven out in the army, but he was also more than capable of it. I can no longer kill and kill freely in the encirclement of the enemy as before.

"Is there a road, a place that the enemy and the ghosts of Huangquan have always been afraid of? When Ke Yun nodded, Xiao Shizhu stared at the lines and patterns on the map, and said thoughtfully: "A dangerous place." ”。

The suddenness of his question made Ke Yun stunned for a moment, and he couldn't react at once, and looked at the map in a daze for a long time without talking.

Her gaze swept back and forth across the map, repeatedly skimming over every line and pattern, thinking about Xiao Shizhu's question. Finally, his eyes fell on the map, the passage in the south of Huangquan, and the middle of the strange stone valley where they were at this time, a pattern with a lot of dead trees growing in the yellow water: "Here, this is a place where the ghosts of Huangquan will not set foot in." ”。

"What kind of place is this?" Xiao Shizhu muttered to himself in his heart, and looked at Ke Yun's finger......

In the twilight city near the sea in the Nine Secluded Country, you can always hear the sound of the waves crashing on the shore and the tide repeatedly advancing and retreating on the beach in the sound of the wind.

And the sea breeze always makes the city wet all year round.

On a cloudy day, rising as usual from the west, Xiao Poria rode her white lion into the city through the south gate, followed by Xiao Shizhu's shrine. The ghost people in the city who didn't know the truth thought that Xiao Shizhu had arrived. They retreated to both sides of the road, and saluted respectfully in front of the army of gods escorting the resplendent gold, all with excitement and excitement in their eyes.

Seeing their ruler once in a lifetime is enough for these ghosts to blow after tea and dinner for a long time.

It's a pity that they don't know that the shrine is empty.

Xiao Fuling escorted the gods all the way, walked through the city, and walked for a long time before she came to the gate of the city god in the city, and saw that the local city god had taken the officials and officers in the government and was already waiting at the gate of the government office.

That Chenghuang was a tall and thin human soul with a rectangular face, and as soon as he saw Xiao Fuling, he greeted him: "Junior minister Fan Shi, I have seen Lord Weng." ”。

The officials behind him also saluted Xiao Fuling and said, "I've seen Lord Weng." ”。

"It's all exempt. Xiao Fuling turned over from the white lion and said to the Chenghuang Fan Shi: "My father's shrine will be placed in the inner city for a few days, has the Chenghuang been arranged?"

"Back to Lord Weng, the minister has already received the order of **, and he has already arranged the place where the shrine is parked, and it is absolutely safe. Chenghuang Fan Shi hurriedly called a small official and said to the little official: "The guards with the shrine and the escort will enter the yamen at the side gate of the yamen, and arrange the shrine in the backyard of the yamen to be strictly guarded. ”。

"Please follow me. The little official answered, walked to the shrine, said to the driver of the carriage, and left from the gate of the yamen with the shrine.

"Lord Weng, please, your lodging minister has also been arranged. Please come with me first, and we will speak in the yamen. Chenghuang Fan Shi stepped sideways and made a gesture of please, and the ghost officials and ghost officials behind him also divided into two, lined up on both sides of the road.

Xiao Fuling only took a few guards with her, and entered the yamen with Chenghuang Fanshi.

This yamen is no different from the other yamen of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, consisting of the main gate, the main hall, the east and west rooms, the back hall and the corridor connecting the halls. And the main hall in the front yard is also doorless.

And the main hall is replaced by arches, under which is a stone pedestal, the indoor caisson ceiling, and the outdoor multicolored paint is painted to paint the beautiful scenery of the underworld, or the ghosts of a thousand strange things.

Xiao Fuling, who sat down in the main hall, took the teacup handed by the official, looked around at the ghost officials and ghost officials headed by Fan Shi standing in front of him, and asked bluntly: "Fan Chenghuang, are all the ships I need ready for me?"

"It's all set. "The city god returned.

Xiao Fuling nodded with satisfaction, paused the teacup, and tasted the tea leisurely.

"But ** has given another order, and I need you to complete a task. Chenghuang Fan Shi took out a silk book from his sleeve and stepped forward, put the silk book in his hand on the high desk in front of Xiao Fuling, and retreated: "It was sent together with the order to temporarily keep the shrine." ”。

"What task?" Xiao Lingling asked, putting down the teacup, picking up the silk book and unfolding it to look at it carefully.

On the silk book, Xiao Lingling can recognize it at a glance as her mother's handwriting, plus the ** big seal at the place where the payment is made, there is no doubt that this is really the order of the ghost mother.

"Escort the grain and herb medicine to Shuoyue Island. The retreating Chenghuang Fan Shi slowly replied: "There is a shortage of food, grass and medicine on Shuoyue Island now, and donations are being mobilized all over the country to rebuild Shuoyue Island. The first batch of supplies has entered the port of our city, and they will all be loaded onto the arranged ship tomorrow. Then hand it over to you, Lord Weng, and escort you all the way to Shuoyue Island. ”。

Xiao Fuling, who put down her hand, lifted the teacup and gently scraped the tea powder in the cup with the quilt cover: "Show me the list of materials." ”。

Chenghuang Fan Shi replied and beckoned to an official behind him, who then handed over a list of supplies that had already been prepared.

"Lord Weng, here is the list of supplies you want to escort. Chenghuang Fan Shi stepped forward as he spoke, and put the list in his hand on the table in front of Xiao Ling: "What materials are on what ship, and some of them are registered in detail one by one. ”。

Xiao Lingling picked up the list, picked it up and looked at it carefully, and then handed it to Fan Jinhong behind him: "You personally send someone to order it to see if there is anything that doesn't match the materials on the list, or something that doesn't match." ”。

Fan Jinhong picked up the list and went out.

Xiao Fuling, who is not in a hurry, handles everything in an orderly manner. This made the ghost officials in front of her all admire her.

Originally, they were worried about the escort problem, but now it seems that the worry is superfluous.
