[433] Night attack on the shrine
A fine layer of sweat immediately oozed from the forehead of the Lady of the Blood Pool, who hung her head, and Emperor Xudu was notoriously moody in the underworld, and the ghosts didn't know which of his words was hidden behind the murderous intentions.
Moreover, Mrs. Xuechi was suddenly summoned to Xudu, and the ghost who sent the message didn't say what the Emperor Xudu had asked her to do? As soon as they met, before they could say a word, the Emperor Xuedu asked if he could continue to believe her, and Mrs. Xuechi was also half dead.
Truth be told, the underworld is in turmoil right now. Especially after the Nine Shadows Kingdom defeated the army of the Northern Yin Dynasty twice in a row, there are still a lot of ghosts among the ghosts who secretly have two hearts for the Northern Yin Dynasty and the Emperor Xudu.
It also includes many veterans of the Northern Yin Dynasty.
Coupled with the rumor that Xiao Shizhu is the son of God, the ghost people in the underworld began to waver about the Northern Yin Dynasty.
But Lady Xuechi is a ghost who has always been loyal to Emperor Xudu. She didn't believe in the rumors of the Son of God, and even if Xiao Shizhu was really the legendary Son of God, it was impossible for her to betray the Northern Yin Dynasty.
The reason is very simple, because in all these years in the underworld, Emperor Xudu has treated her well.
Therefore, the chanting under Fang Cai's urgency was really her heartfelt words, and it was definitely not a cozy attitude that erupted under the drive of the desire to survive.
"Don't be nervous, get up and talk. After the Emperor Xudu smiled indifferently, he bent down and reached out to help Lady Xuechi: "I just asked casually, and I didn't doubt your loyalty. ”。
The evening breeze blows, gently blowing those blooming black peach blossoms. And Mrs. Bloodpool also breathed a sigh of relief the moment she got up.
After calming down, Lady Xuechi thought about it carefully, and only then did she find that today's Emperor Xudu didn't even have the cold murderous aura that he had in the past. When I took a closer look at it in the afterglow of the setting sun, I saw that her majesty had not seen her for several months, and she was already white-haired and sideburns.
Mrs. Xuechi suddenly felt a little more emotion in her heart, her majesty was really old. Even though the soul has the same longevity as heaven and earth, and has an infinite lifespan, the Emperor Xudu still has two white temples.
Perhaps it is the many changes in recent years that have made him emaciated. Mrs. Xuechi, who values love and righteousness, has become even more loyal in her heart, and after opening her lips, she said bluntly without hesitation: "If Your Majesty has any orders, even if you speak out, the minister will definitely do his best for what His Majesty has explained." ”。
Emperor Xudu put away his smile when he heard this, and the gaze that fell on Lady Xuechi's face became deep and peaceful again, and he said lightly: "Actually, there is something you need to do, and only you can do it." ”。
As he spoke, he shifted his gaze to the sixteen Blood Slim Ghosts who were following Lady Bloodpool.
"Is it possible that the Blood Paste Ghosts need to start giving birth to evil ghosts?" Lady Bloodpool immediately guessed what Emperor Xudu meant.
Emperor Xudu didn't speak again, but then bowed slightly.
Years of conquest have caused the Xudu Army and the Xuandi Army to rapidly reduce their troops. If there was only one enemy in the underworld, Xiao Shizhu, it would be fine, but now the underworld is full of rebellions, and troops need to be sent everywhere to quell the rebellion.
What's more, Xiao Shizhu's Nine Shadows Kingdom is becoming more and more powerful, and Emperor Xudu has to make some preparations for the future, otherwise his throne will eventually be lost.
And the evil ghosts love to kill, and they are best used to deal with human souls. So Emperor Xudu thought of Lady Bloodpool and the Blood Ghosts under her rule.
"Understood, the minister will handle this matter as soon as he returns to Bloodstained Pool City. Mrs. Xuechi didn't object, nor did she ask why, but after tilting her head a little harder, she said sonorously: "I will definitely expand a million-strong army for Your Majesty within a year." ”。
Emperor Xudu's eyes flashed with a little excitement, and he stroked his palms again and again and smiled: "Okay, I will hand over this errand to you now, if you need anything, even if you can meet it, I will definitely be satisfied, but in a year I must meet a million heroes composed of evil spirits." ”。
"No. Lady Xuechi bowed slightly......
The moon rises slowly in the west between the stars, and the dark blue moonlight slowly sprinkles on the wilderness outside the stone city.
In the night breeze, ghostly fires flickering in the wilderness are flying up and down with the night wind. The mournful cry of the wild fox was mixed with the howling night wind, which swept through the wilderness.
Xiao Shizhu's camp is extraordinarily quiet. Most of the accompanying sergeants had fallen asleep in their tents, and only a few were still standing guard in the camp or forming patrols to and fro from tent to tent.
The shrine in the middle surrounded by the sergeant's tent was still brightly lit.
Xiao Shizhu sat in the study in the shrine, reviewing the notes and notebooks submitted from all over the country. Although he was on patrol, he could not leave state affairs alone, and many important and important matters were sent to him by the mushrooms and asked him to decide.
After midnight, Xiao Shizhu finished reviewing the notebook and notebook sent today, pinched his eyebrows with his thumb and index finger, and got up and stretched.
Then he slowly walked around the bookcase, walked to the window, and pushed it open. The faint blue light of the night moon suddenly poured in, covering half a foot around the windowsill, and also stretched the figure under Xiao Shizhu's feet.
The breeze swept away the faint tiredness on Xiao Shizhu's face, bathed in the light of the night moon full of yin qi, which made him feel a little comfortable.
"Aren't you sleepy?" After boiling tea in the hall, the ghost mother who brought it to him walked to Xiao Shizhu's side with light steps, stood still, and handed Xiao Shizhu the purple clay pot with hot tea in her hand.
Xiao Shizhu smiled at her, then moved his eyes to the window, those military tents quietly bathed in the moonlight, and sighed leisurely: "I also lived in that kind of tent many years ago, and I really miss it a little bit when I look at it." ”。
After finishing speaking, he slowly rotated the purple clay pot in his hand, raised his hand and put the spout in his mouth and sucked it gently.
"Many years ago, do you mean when you were the commander of Dongchengwei?" the ghost mother tilted her head slightly to look at her husband, and smiled, and the corners of her mouth suddenly showed two shallow dimples, which were very good-looking.
Xiao Shizhu turned his head with a nod, and looked at his wife and suddenly became stupid. The faint blue moonlight sprinkled on the ghost mother's face, adding a bit of charm to her.
Xiao Shizhu looked at it for a long time, and then realized that he had not had time to look at his wife carefully like this for a long time. And the ghost mother was obviously not used to being stared at by him, so she hurriedly lowered her reddish head slightly to avoid Xiao Shizhu's hot gaze.
"I suddenly found out that Poria's two small dimples are inherited from you, and I don't have dimples. Xiao Shizhu, who had always been grinning, actually smiled awkwardly, raised his hand and scratched the back of his head.
"That is, the good things are inherited from me. After following Xiao Shizhu for a long time, the ghost mother also learned to be a little cheeky, and immediately a faint look of pride appeared on her face, and after she was white like Xiao Shizhu, she said proudly: "The only thing inherited from you is naughty." ”。
"Children who are not naughty are not productive. Not to be outdone, Xiao Shizhu snorted lightly, took another sip of tea and said slowly: "Can a good child be as promisingly as my Poria cocos? Not to mention the underworld, even if the history books of the world are all over the world, there are few people who are in the court at the age of ten." ”。
"Look at what you can do. The ghost mother couldn't help but pursed her mouth when she heard this, and her face, which always had a mature and beautiful face, suddenly became a little more cute.
"Give me one. Give birth to a son this time, and let him go around for us in the future!" Xiao Shizhu was even more proud at the moment, and said without thinking.
"One daughter is enough for me to have a headache; climb the hall and pry the beasts on it, pluck my phoenix feathers, shoot the deer in the center of Su Tian with a bow and arrow that dares not listen to her, and tame the beast soul that does not listen to her and does not give her a ride with a chain dagger, you precious daughter has not done anything. It's the same with another son, are you going to be angry with me?" The ghost mother raised her eyebrows and asked coldly: "Besides, is your daughter and son just your expedition tool?"
"How can it be just a tool for conquest, or a tool for the infertile soul of the Emperor of Qidu!" Xiao Shizhu said and sent down the teapot, and when he finished speaking, he crossed his hands on his hips, laughed a few times, and said proudly: "I am also a god, I can also give birth to a bunch of children with the same god, and I can't make him angry." ”。
In terms of shamelessness, in some respects, Emperor Xudu is really inferior to Xiao Shizhu. A person like him, who grew up in the Three Sects and Nine Streams, once he is shameless, not only has no morality, but even the discipline can be crushed and fractured in minutes, and he can immediately become like two people.
"Go, daughters and sons are not your proud capital. The ghost mother gave him another blank look. Just as she was about to continue, a loud noise came out of nowhere, interrupting her.
The loud sound was like thunder descending from the sky, bringing a burst of trembling, and the ghost mother and Xiao Shizhu were stunned, and then they saw a raging fire outside the window.
The dazzling light of the fire rose with billowing smoke at the edge of the camp, and the heart-rending screams did not make Xiao Shizhu wait long, and then came from the place where the flames were tumbling, followed by a noise and scolding.
There was also the clanging sound of weapons colliding.
"My lord, there are assassins. Just when Xiao Shizhu's heart flashed that there was a ghost assassination, Chunhan, who was anxious, had already pushed the door in and shouted, "It was killed from Jishi City." ”。
"Don't panic. Xiao Shizhu, who had already calmed down in an instant, squinted at the firelight in the distance, as well as the guards who had been awakened outside the gods, and said lightly: "Immediately organize the road cavalry and air cavalry to counterattack, and inform Hu Biao to bring the Xuanjiao disciples and sneak into the shadows to snipe the assassins with hidden muskets." The Flying Army circled the sky and evacuated the accompanying ministers and palace maids to safety. ”。
The years of conquest have long cultivated his character of not panicking, and his command ability is even more outstanding than when he first arrived in the underworld. When the flames rose and the sound of fighting came, Xiao Shizhu had already made a plan in his heart.
"No. Chunyun replied and turned around and walked away quickly. At the same time, the accompanying Su Tianju disciples also walked in together, and after standing still in front of Xiao Shizhu, they said in unison: "Lord Duchy Mother, please stay away with me for the time being." ”。
"Hahaha!" Xiao Shizhu laughed a few times when he heard this, and said coldly: "Avoid the ball for the time being! There are so many ghosts who want my life in this huge underworld, and I can't avoid them with a few assassin ghosts." You just need to protect the mother of the country, and I will not spare you if she wants to lose a hair. ”。
Yu Bi tightened his belt, turned around and took the Moon Destroying Sword and jumped out of the window, and after landing on the ground, he jumped up on tiptoe and jumped onto the back of Yue Ying who was tied to the side of the gods.
The Moon Destroying Sword came out of his body as he clutched the reins in his left hand, and when the tip of the sword pointed straight to the sky, Xiao Shizhu shouted excitedly: "The cavalry comes with me, rush forward and kill the assassin!"
Shouting this, he immediately rode the beast forward, and the cavalry around the god immediately followed.
"Be careful. The ghost mother, who frowned slightly, lay on the windowsill and shouted at her husband who was far away.
Her voice had just floated out of the window, and when it echoed between heaven and earth, there were suddenly a few whistles in the sky above the gods, and then more than a dozen of them were lit to the ground.
With a loud "boom", the high-temperature flames poured out in all directions with the dirt kicked off by the explosion.
