Since then, there has been no communication between the two ghosts.

The master was leisurely drinking tea and eating snacks, while Shopkeeper Li was busy behind the counter to settle accounts and keep accounts. Everything was so natural, and the two ghosts seemed to have no connection other than the relationship between the businessman and the customer.

After a long time, the well-fed master wiped his mouth, stood up with a satisfied face, walked slowly and hummed a little song, and left the teahouse very naturally.

Except for Shopkeeper Li and that master, no ghost knows, not long ago, in this teahouse, two confidential pieces of information in the Beiyin Dynasty have been obtained by the Nine Shadows Kingdom.

After the master left, Shopkeeper Li stopped keeping accounts, called the guys to clean up the table, and headed towards the backyard.

This small courtyard is not large, surrounded by houses on all sides, and can only be regarded as a patio. Shopkeeper Li lightly stepped on the forty-two bluestone slabs laid on the ground in the courtyard, and walked towards the hut in the middle of the bottom floor of the West Winging.

When I walked into the house, I saw two fungus people sitting on the square table in the middle of the room, holding peanuts and melon seeds and other small snacks, eating and drinking in a big gulp.

Seeing Shopkeeper Li walk in, and immediately closing the door from the inside, the two fungus people stopped eating and drinking, turned their heads to look at Shopkeeper Li, and walked to the square table and sat down.

"Immediately send a message to Yuque City, informing the mother of the country and the lord that Fenglinzhou has been completely included in the territory of the Northern Yin Dynasty. The sixteen ghost countries in the continent have all accepted Zhao'an. Without waiting for the two mushroom men to speak, Shopkeeper Li, who sat down, immediately took the lead in saying to one of the mushroom men with lush roots under the jaw.

After repeating his words, the fungus man sat cross-legged between the melon seed shells on the table between the nods of the shopkeeper Li, closed his eyes and began to transmit the message.

At this time, Shopkeeper Li took out the note he had received, handed it to the other person with thick arms and legs, slowly unfolded it, and said: "The same Fa Yu Que City, but first send it to the Xuanjiao Main Hall, and after passing it to the deputy sect leader Hu Hui, the list will be burned immediately." ”。

After speaking, he picked up a teacup, raised his head and drank the tea in one gulp, then pressed one side of the note with the cover, and pressed the other side with the bottom of the teacup so that the note could no longer be rolled up.

The previous piece of information was quickly disseminated. And because there were too many contents in the latter one, it wasn't until more than a quarter of an hour later that all the contents on the note were transmitted to Yuque City.

And the fungus man who transmitted this information was already so tired and panting after passing on the information that his head was dripping with water. The roots that grow out of the body are a little withered.

Shopkeeper Li hurriedly got up, brought this fungus man a cup of cold well water, dipped his fingers in the water and flicked it to him, like watering flowers, and dropped it on his fingertips, and the clear and exquisite water droplets sprinkled on this fungus man.

After a while, the fungus came to its senses, gasped for breath, and the roots that grew on its body no longer withered and regained its vitality.

Shopkeeper Li put down the teacup without saying a word, picked up the note, stood up, and walked out of the house. After leaving the door, he turned into the kitchen, stuffed the note into the stove, and only after watching that the note burned out completely, then slowly walked towards the lobby of the front building.

He had just lifted the curtain between the doors leading from the lobby to the backyard, and saw seven or eight majestic cross-knife ghosts appearing at the gate.

The bearded man with a beard like a steel needle on his black face pushed away the trotting hall that greeted him, raised his legs across the threshold of the gate, and strode towards the shopkeeper Li who had already walked to the counter.

Seeing that their faces were full of solemnity, Shopkeeper Li secretly chuckled in his heart, but his face was still calm and calm, and his smile was undiminished, and there was a slight compliment in his smile.

After experiencing strong winds and waves, being a spy for nearly a thousand years, and becoming a Xuanjiao disciple, the shopkeeper Li knows that the more unclear the situation, the more he can't panic.

"Shopkeeper, have you seen a strange and suspicious ghost come to the store recently?" the ghost who stood in front of the counter asked sharply. The other demons who followed him stood in two rows behind him.

Hearing this, Shopkeeper Li slowly shook his head after thinking about it thoughtfully, and said with confusion in his eyes: "No, in the past two months, there have only been regular customers and repeat customers who have entered and exited my small shop." Not a single new guest either. ”。

After finishing speaking, Shopkeeper Li couldn't help but sigh lightly, as if he felt helpless that the people who had come to the teahouse recently were all old customers, and there were no new customers.

"There is no best. But once a suspicious ghost, especially a sneaky ghost, appears in your store, you must immediately report it to the various yin divisions in the city. Do you understand?" said in a deep voice as the ghost cha stared at the submissive shopkeeper Li with wide eyes. At the same time, his hand was not idle, he reached into the money jar on the counter, grabbed a handful of copper coins and a few pieces of broken silver, and held them in his hands.

"Understood, very understood. Shopkeeper Li pinched his hands, nodded and returned with a bow, completely ignoring the ghostly 'hand-to-hand sheep' just now.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw another group of ghosts appear on the street outside the door, and strode towards the warehouse diagonally opposite his teahouse, which was only one street away. So Shopkeeper Li leaned forward slightly, whispered to the ghost who was about to leave, and asked curiously: "Official, you have put up such a big formation, looking for sneaky suspicious ghosts everywhere, are you catching bandits or thieves?

Having said that, there was obviously a warm cloudy light pouring in from outside the door and enveloping the shopkeeper Li's body, but he still pretended to have a look of horror on his face. It seems that he is very afraid of the so-called Jiangyang thieves.

"Is it just that Jiang Yang has opened up such a big formation? Of course, it's the secret agent of the Nine Shadows Kingdom!" The ghost simply thought that Shopkeeper Li was just curious, so he didn't think much about it, and after answering without thinking, his sharp gaze swept over the faces of the other guys in the store, and then fell on the face of Shopkeeper Li again, and warned in a deep voice: "If you find that a suspicious ghost appears in the store, but you don't report it truthfully, then just wait for the Nine Clans to be connected." ”。

"We must be sure, we are all good ghosts loyal to the court of the Northern Yin Dynasty and the great Emperor Xudu, and naturally we will not shield such thieves. Shopkeeper Li patted his chest in response, while going around to the counter, personally sent these majestic, vicious ghosts to the door, after seeing them leave, Shopkeeper Li leaned on the door frame, looking at the street coming and going, the vigilant ghosts shuttled between the shops, interrogating any of the ghosts on the street who they would have to be suspicious, and a light smile hung on the corners of his upturned mouth.

He didn't know the ghosts, but Shopkeeper Li knew very well that the ghosts in Xudu had opened such a large formation to search the city, most of them were his comrades-in-arms, and other Xuanjiao cultists lurking in the Six Heavens Continent had added to the blockage of the Xudu regime......

The night was vast, the moon was hazy, and the heavens and the earth were shrouded in darkness and tightness. High in the northeast sky, the three immortal chacha were in the dense clouds in the high sky, riding the yin wind through the clouds, easily avoiding the Xudu army on the ground, and heading towards Manjiang City.

Some tired Xiao Shizhu was also on the Xiancha, after he robbed the military rations of the Xudu army, he went to Longju Pass without stopping, and discussed more things with all the tree spirits, and after these tree spirits were completely incorporated into the ghost people of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, he immediately followed the Xiancha, carrying half of the grain and grass he had robbed, and returned to Manjiang City at night.

When Xiancha passed by the top of the enemy camp outside the city, Xiao Shizhu stood on the side of the bulwark, leaned over the wall and looked down, but saw that there was still a fire outside the city, like stars falling from the sky and falling on the ground and spreading out, Xiao Shizhu, who was full of confidence in the victory or defeat of the war in this place, also had doubts in his heart.

Judging from the lights on the ground that stretched for hundreds of miles, it seemed that the united army of the Northern Yin Dynasty did not retreat because of lack of food.

He couldn't help but wonder, could it be that his plan did not achieve the expected effect?

Xiao Shizhu quickly thought about all the plans that had been implemented recently, and the results obtained from these plans, and after confirming that there was no negligence, he guessed that the combined army of the Northern Yin Dynasty in the distance below was nothing more than a dead end.

As he pondered, Xiancha had already crossed the tall and solid city wall, entered the city of Manjiang, and headed towards the middle of the city.

When Xiancha flew over the houses in the city and stopped in the square behind the north gate of the Xiazhou Wang's Palace in the middle, Xiao Shizhu had already turned over and rode on Yueying, and the beast flew downward.

When he went down to the ground, he saw that in front of the main hall on the south side of the square, several high-ranking ghost generals in Manjiang City were already waiting at the gate of the main hall after knowing that he was coming back.

Xiao Shizhu stepped forward and rode Yue Ying straight to the front of the main hall gate before stopping. Immediately after that, he turned over and came down, and before his feet landed, he asked Ji Yan and Zhu Hai: "I have been in the city for a few days, how is the battle going?"

Asking this, Xiao Shizhu strode forward with a horsewhip in his hand, and after passing the vermilion lacquer threshold, he went straight to the hall, and walked straight to the edge of the sand table on the main hall and stood still.

"The enemy attack was still fierce, and several times they hit the city walls. Ji Yan, who was standing to his right, returned. Zhu Hai, who was standing on his left, took over and said, "We launched two night attacks last night, but we repelled them. ”。

However, the enemy's attacks were mostly carried out by artillery from a distance, and the number of infantry and cavalry charges was significantly reduced. And the number of air cavalry sorties is not as many as when the war began. When Zhu Hai finished speaking, Yuhua said again: "The casualties of our army have also decreased a lot. ”。

Xiao Shizhu looked at the sand table in front of him and nodded, and snorted. The enemy positions marked on the sand table outside the city were still exactly the same as when he left Manjiang City.

Xiao Shizhu looked at the sand table and thought carefully, it had only been five days since he had attacked the enemy's grain and grass. It would take at least seven or eight days from the place where he plundered grain and grass to Manjiang City.

The enemy troops outside the city must still have ten days' rations, so they didn't mess up because the grain and grass were robbed.

"However, the enemy forces have been a little listless lately. Just as Xiao Shizhu was pondering, there was a sand table away from him, and the goddess Gu Shot, who was standing opposite him, said to him thoughtfully: "The last general, Zhu Hai and Ji Yan, the two generals, have discovered that since three days ago, the enemy army outside the city can use crossbows and never use bows, can carry knives into battle, and will never destroy and carry guns. ”。

Xiao Shizhu's eyes suddenly lit up, his slightly frowning brows instantly expanded, he raised his head and looked around at the generals, his inquiring eyes swept over the faces of those ghost generals with slight jaws, and after seeing that they were all sure that the goddess did not have Kuangren, a faint smile flashed on his face.

Xiao Shizhu doesn't have a high diploma, but he is an out-and-out military genius. Not only because he is good at arranging troops in various wars and being good at all kinds of strange tricks, but also because he can quickly see the enemy's weaknesses and weaknesses on the battlefield.

The enemy does not use heavy weapons to attack the city, and in Xiao Shizhu's opinion, there is only one reason - he has no food and no strength.
