The heat of late midsummer did not appear in Chutian County.

Except for the time of the day, when it is about to rain, the sky and the earth will be a little stuffy, and even the cicadas on the trees will not stop, but the rest of the time is still very cool.

And although the war between Jiuyouguo and Wuhui is still going on, except for the border cities near Zhurong Kingdom, which are still in full battle, everything else is normal.

Farming and commerce, diplomatic training, and the construction of roads and water control by Julong are all being carried out in an orderly manner, so that the Nine Shadows Kingdom has not caused soaring prices, shortage of resources, or chaos in law and order because of the war.

Xiao Shizhu was not frightened by the last assassination, and when he was still idle, he went out of the palace in Weifu, but what he carried by him was no longer King Kong, but was replaced by the shadow ghost Fan Jinhong.

On this day, he helped the ghost mother to approve the notebook, and saw Lai Yueqi, who had walked around the palace with Xiao Fuling in her arms, and returned to the Juexiang Garden.

Xiao Shizhu took Xiao Poria and asked Lai Yueqi to chat with the ghost mother to drink tea and eat snacks, he took Xiao Poria to the garden, put his daughter down, bent over and pulled Poria Cocos' raised hands, and began to teach her to walk.

"Lord, you are really a good father. Except for Xiao Shizhu, who was dealing with government affairs, eating and sleeping, Fan Jinhong, who was inseparable at other times, stood aside and watched: "You are still the first prince and king I have ever seen, who personally taught his children to walk." ”。

After getting along for several months, Fan Jinhong is no longer always silent about Xiao Shizhu, and in the past, he dared to joke with each other except for some disrespectful words.

As for the fact that the other party killed his master and uncle, Fan Jinhong didn't think much about it, and followed Xiao Shizhu wholeheartedly to ensure the safety of the other party.

He also went to be a killer for his livelihood, and he was often beaten and scolded by drinking high thunder knives. In comparison, Xiao Shizhu is much kinder, and he is also very reasonable to his subordinates, which makes Fan Jinhong more willing to work for Xiao Shizhu.

"How many princes have you seen?" Xiao Shizhu asked with a smile, paused and said proudly: "I have this child, and it is her father, who will teach her if I don't teach him?"

As he spoke, he helped Poria who was walking crookedly and took two steps forward.

"I've seen one of you, but you have to teach it to let go. After Fan Jinhong scratched his head with a smile, he said in a rather bitter tone: "If you don't let go, she will never learn." ”。

"Fart, her foot is not broken, how can she not learn?" Xiao Shizhu scolded, but he still felt justified after a little thought when he finished speaking, and suddenly let go.

Fan Jinhong didn't care, he knew that Xiao Shizhu didn't mean to scold him when he said this, but it was just a natural habit to use foul language, so he naturally didn't care.

But Xiao Fuling, who has just turned nine months, is still walking crookedly when someone helps her, and this time no one is holding her, so she swayed left and right and walked forward two steps quickly, and her body leaned forward and was about to fall.

Xiao Shizhu, who was quick-eyed, hurriedly bent his waist lower, wanted to reach out, and pulled Xiao Poria away. Unexpectedly, at the moment when his hand was about to be grabbed, the girl swayed again, and at the same time took a stride forward with her legs open, and walked out steadily.

"Look, I've learned it. Fan Jinhong shouted happily.

But he cheered, and before Xiao Shizhu had time to be happy, Xiao Poria fell to the ground with a broken ankle.

This scared Xiao Shizhu a lot, and his heart hurt for a while, and he was about to check if Poria had fallen and was injured, when he saw Xiao Poria lying on the ground giggled.

Xiao Shizhu was stunned for a moment, and the hand that had been stretched out stopped less than two feet away from Xiao Poria Cocos. Although he is a first-time father, there are no children in the world, most of other people's children fall, don't cry and make a big face, and then roll on the spot and I'm sorry for the fall.

But his child didn't cry or make trouble, and actually laughed, as if it was nothing. This made Xiao Shizhu stunned, and he couldn't help but scratch his head and say, "Could it be that I gave birth to a freak?"

But he himself knew that in fact, it was this child who had the same mystical protection as him, and it was nothing if he fell lightly.

But what makes Xiao Shizhu even more fortunate is that the building behind him is full of laughter, it seems that the ghost mother and Lai Yueqi are chatting happily, and they don't know that Poria has fallen, otherwise Xiao Shizhu will have to twist his ears again.

Thinking about this, Xiao Shizhu couldn't help but raise his hand and touch his ears.

Xiao Poria rolled around, turned over and sat up, smiled at Xiao Shizhu, and spread her arms. Xiao Shizhu knew that she was going to pick her up, and was about to reach out and remember what Fan Jinhong had just said, so she simply stuffed her two index fingers into the palm of Poria Cocos, and said with a light smile: "Get up by yourself." ”。

Poria put away her smile, tilted her head and looked at him with her suspicious eyes, "Huh?"

"Father can't be by your side all your life. Xiao Shizhu leaned his fingers into his daughter's palm with fine skin and tender flesh, and continued: "You have to learn to solve it by yourself in advance. ”。

Fan Jinhong was stunned when he heard this, it was the first time he had seen a ghost who lived a life in brocade clothes, and he didn't spoil his children. At the same time, he also stared at Xiao Fuling with wide eyes, and there was some expectation in the depths of his eyes.

The doubts on Poria's face quickly turned into a cheerful smile again, and her pink little hands grabbed Xiao Shizhu's fingers hard, and her feet pulled the ground, and slowly stood up.

Fan Jinhong was already dumbfounded, although the little master was a little ghost who couldn't speak, he could understand the words of the big ghost, so he couldn't help shouting: "God, God." ”。

After she stood up, Xiao Shizhu patted the dust on her body and picked her up.

"It's almost Halloween, so go and worship your master. Xiao Shizhu used his cuffs to help Poria wipe the dust on his face, and walked to Fan Jinhong to stand still.

"This ......" Fan Jinhong, who wanted to speak and stopped, lowered his head slightly and bit the corner of his mouth fiercely, and after a pause, he said: "He is a thief, I am your guard, not good ......."

"His grudge with me is a matter of mine for both of us. Xiao Shizhu raised his hand to interrupt without waiting for him to finish, and said bluntly: "But he is your master after all, no matter what, you have to go and worship his tomb and send your sorrows." It's been so happily decided that you'll have a holiday on Halloween. ”。

A breeze suddenly blew in the sinkhole, blowing Xiao Shizhu and Fan Jinhong's robes lightly. Poria cocos, who was lying on Xiao Shizhu's shoulder, yawned long and fell asleep on her father's shoulder.

And Xiao Shizhu's clear grievances made Fan Jin's heart feel a warmth, he didn't say anything, just mumbled and nodded after a moment of silence.

The tangle that hung between the eyebrows before has turned into gratitude.

Without waiting for him to thank him, Xiao Shizhu's face suddenly became serious, frowned and turned his head, looking at the side of the garden gate. Fan Jinhong was suspicious, and was about to ask what was wrong, when he saw a fungus man rushing from there, this fungus man was full of wrinkles, the roots under his hands and jaws were yellow and shriveled, and he was carrying a bulging burden on his back, which was the patriarch of the fungus people.

The Jade Que Palace is full of all kinds of forbidden talismans, and the fungus people can't perform the escape technique here, and all the messages can only be used to run.

But obviously, these mushroom people who looked like mallets were not good at running once they were not in the soil, and when the patriarch of the fungus people ran to Xiao Shizhu's feet and stood for a while, he was already out of breath.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Shizhu asked.

"Great King, Chu, King of Chujiang......" The patriarch of the fungus people gasped a few more times, and said: "The king of Chujiang was nailed to death in Xudu by the Emperor of Xudu with an iron nail of broken souls. ”。

When Xiao Shizhu heard this, he didn't cheer, but smiled indifferently and said slowly in a calm tone: "Got it." ”。

He had already expected this ending, and the reason why Emperor Xudu pushed King Chujiang to the Ming place at the beginning was to abandon his pawn and protect the car when the matter was revealed. So he wasn't surprised.

"In addition, the shadows of the Xuanjiao have completed their actions according to your request. The patriarch of the fungus people took off the burden on his back, unfolded it, took out a thick stack of silver tickets rolled up inside, and presented it with both hands: "According to your request, they also stole these universal silver tickets with heaven and earth ticket numbers from the Chujiang Palace. ”。

Xiao Shizhu squatted down, picked up the silver ticket and twisted it with his fingers, knowing that there were at least five million taels of silver here, then put the silver ticket under his nose, inhaled sharply and squinted his eyes, his face was comfortable and intoxicated.

Then he handed it back to the patriarch of the fungus people, and said, "Give it to Lu Wu to enter the warehouse, and let him take out 100,000 taels to reward the disciples of this operation." ”。

"No. The patriarch of the fungus people carefully rolled it up again, put it in the baggage and put it on his back: "There is also a happy event, according to your request, our clan escaped into Zhurong country, and pasted Wu Hui's crimes and co-workers everywhere to confess, how to cooperate with Wu Huili and the specific process of assassinating Zhu Rong, at this time, many places in Zhurong have risen up, and they have announced their separation from Wu Hui's regime and joining our country. The generals of the Long Cliff and the Loess, and the Governor of the Gonggong, have asked for advice on whether they should take advantage of this to march in and occupy these places."

"Double happiness is coming. Xiao Shizhu pondered, Fan Jinhong, who listened to everything word for word on the side, was happy for him, and said sincerely: "Congratulations to the lord, congratulations to the lord, the war with Wu Hui is about to end." ”。

Xiao Shizhu pondered for a moment, but shook his head silently.

He knows that the more victory is in sight, the more he must fight steadily and steadily, and not make the slightest mistake, otherwise he will give his opponent a chance to resurrect.

Moreover, hastily occupying those enemy lands is tantamount to expanding the territory of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, and more troops are needed to garrison these places.
