[966] Deception
The wind howled across the top of Qingqiu Mountain, and the grass and trees bent over and swayed violently left and right in the wind.
When the wind blew into the five-color hole, the whistling became long and sharp.
The cloudy morning light that poured in from the hole that opened to the west spread throughout the cave.
But he couldn't shine on the fox face of the fox Qingping with his back to the entrance of the cave.
At this time, after hearing the words spoken by the Qingqiu Fox King, a hint of incomprehension flashed on Hu Qingping's face.
His enthusiasm also gradually cooled down with the slight coolness brought by the yin wind blowing into the stone cave.
Soon, the fox Qingping said urgently to the Qingqiu Fox King: "But according to the itinerary plan submitted by the mission of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, Changqin will leave our country tomorrow." ”。
Time is very urgent, and it is precisely because of this that Hu Qingping will be a little impatient after seeing the performance of Changqin's return to his hometown, for fear that if he does not act again, such a great opportunity will have to say goodbye to Qingqiu Fox Country.
It is also unknown whether there will be such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and good fortune in the future to befall the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom.
However, Hu Qingping is still too young.
However, the Qingqiu Fox King, who is only one step away from him, is much more stable; the old ghost is the old ghost, and the Qingqiu Fox King, who is in danger, is nothing more than worried about a problem, will there be fraud if it is too natural?
In comparison, even if the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom now has artillery aided by the Northern Yin Dynasty and is equipped with various armies, it can be compared with the strength of the army of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, which is completely firearms and has to practice divine and ghost arts, there is still a world of difference.
The Qingqiu Fox King knew that the more critical the time, the more careful and cautious he was, he and his ghost kingdom could not afford to lose in this battle between the Nine Ghost Kingdoms.
If you win, you will monopolize Dongying, and if you lose, you will destroy the country and destroy the door!
Xiao Shizhu's methods of dealing with traitors have always been varied, and they are endless, but they are all the same, and all of them are very vicious and ruthless. He has always tried to achieve the effect of killing a hundred people, and there are few times when the net is open, and most of the ghosts in the Qingqiu Fox Country, which is far away from the Nine Shadows Country, have already heard of it.
The Qingqiu Fox King is naturally a ghost who has long heard of it.
He had to be cautious and cautious, and he had to be careful and careful.
"It doesn't matter. Soon, he told his son Hu Qingping: "You can test him again today, and if Changqin still shows his eagerness to return home, you can win him over." ”。
After thinking about it, Hu Qingping also felt that his father's consideration naturally had his reason, so he put away his previous anxiety and nodded in response.
"What's going on on our border lately?" After seeing him answer, the Qingqiu Fox King asked again, picked up the dishes and chopsticks again, and chewed slowly.
The delicacy of the delicacies slowly tasted in the mouth of the Qingqiu Fox King.
Since the Tu Shan clan lost power, the huge border defense of the Qingqiu Fox Country fell on the body of the prince of the Qingqiu Fox Country, Hu Qingping.
What is the border defense, the Qingqiu Fox King has always asked about his son.
"It's not a big deal. After a little reminiscence, the little prince Hu Qingping said to his father: "It's that many ghost people in the giant ghost are not convinced, but because of the heavy rain, it is impossible to do anything extreme and excessive. ”。
"What about the border connected to the Nine Shadows Kingdom?" the Qingqiu Fox King swallowed the food in his mouth with a slight chin and asked slowly.
For the giant country that has already died, the Qingqiu Fox King has no interest in it, and he doesn't care. He thinks that the ghost people of a dead ghost country, even if they are tall and powerful giant ghosts, can't make too many waves.
What's more, after the army of the Nine Shadows Kingdom was transferred away and went south to fight, the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom created one or two tragic massacres among the giant ghosts.
The Qingqiu Fox King thought that this was enough to make the giant ghosts feel uneasy.
He was more concerned about the garrison of the Nine Shadows Kingdom in Dongyingzhou.
"Nothing happened, the spies reported that everything was peaceful. Hu Qingping, who thought about it again, said slowly: "The rotting beast soul corpses that we threw along the river basin before don't seem to have any impact or harm to their border garrisons. ”。
Hearing this, the Qingqiu Fox King had a little imperceptible loss in his eyes.
I wanted to take advantage of this, coupled with the damp and cold of Dongying Continent in the rainy season, to make the soldiers of the Nine Shadows Kingdom sick, but now it seems that this wish is about to be frustrated.
At this moment, the delicious taste in the mouth of the Qingqiu Fox King was like chewing wax, and it was tasteless.
But fortunately, Qingqiu Fox Country has other backup plans.
Therefore, the Qingqiu Fox King quickly put this matter behind him and continued to enjoy breakfast with his son......
Liutianzhou, Xudu.
Today, on the top of the towering Luo Yu Mountain, the sky is still clear.
After the night faded, the palaces and pavilions that were neatly arranged on the top of the hill were now in the cloudy light again, and they were full of brilliance.
The morning bell that broke the quiet remnants of the night and made a melodious bell that resounded through the sky. The palace slaves and maids in the palace got busy.
The courtyard of the food supervisor was even more noisy and lively.
Among them, the palace slaves got up before dawn and were busy cooking a delicious breakfast for the Emperor Xudu.
There are many top chefs in the ten continents of the world, who are good at making and cooking every dish in the underworld, and they also have a lot of research on the delicious food in the world.
They can always change their tricks, and make the ingredients of the underworld into a delicacy that is not the same every day, and has a full of color and flavor, and dedicates it to the Emperor of Xudu to taste.
The palace slaves here work together in the morning light, and the inferior palace slaves are responsible for the most basic work, which is nothing more than washing vegetables and picking vegetables, carrying firewood, and lighting the fire.
The palace slave in charge of cutting vegetables wields a kitchen knife and cuts all kinds of ingredients into different shapes on the cutting board, or slices or shreds, or segments or pieces.
In the end, it was handed over to the cooks in charge of the spoon, and after cooking one after another in various methods, and then putting them in the utensils, they were sent out of the food prison one by one and sent to the Beiyin Zhongtian Temple.
Last night, Emperor Xudu slept in the apse of the Heavenly Temple in the Northern Yin Dynasty, and breakfast would naturally only be sent here.
And Emperor Xudu slept after midnight at homework, and he had to get up early this morning. In these cases, the palace slave who had been serving by his side informed the palace slave on duty at night about the food supervisor. Therefore, the cooks are afraid that he will have indigestion, and although the breakfast ingredients are expensive, they are all light and easy to digest food, and there is no big fish and meat.
When these delicious breakfasts were sent to the Heavenly Temple in the North Yin Dynasty, they were still steaming. And the Emperor Xudu, who had already gotten up, dressed neatly, and finished washing, sat down on the desk in the depths of the hall, quietly watched the palace slaves put his breakfast and tableware on the table one by one, and then picked up the chopsticks after retreating one by one.
Maybe it's because he's old, or maybe it's because of overwork in recent years, Emperor Xudu can't afford to go to bed late and get up early.
Now he has a listless look, and there is a tired look between his facial features.
I picked up the dishes and chopsticks for a long time, and I didn't have an appetite, so I didn't move the chopsticks for a long time.
"Your Majesty. It wasn't until a long time later, when the palace slave on the side called softly, that the Emperor Xudu came to his senses and slowly started to eat with chopsticks, still so listless.
"The King of Rotation went up the mountain last night, but you have already fallen asleep and went down, do you want to pass him on?" Then the palace slave asked cautiously.
"Hmm. Emperor Xudu didn't think much about it, so he nodded and agreed.
After the palace slave bowed, he withdrew from the Heavenly Hall in the North Yin.
Presumably he went to the bottom of the mountain and summoned the reincarnation king for the Emperor Xudu.
Han Qi, who has always been inseparable from the Emperor Xudu, doesn't know where he has gone today, and he is no longer by the side of the Emperor Xudu.
For a time, only Emperor Xudu himself was left in the empty hall.
Not long after, a black shadow flashed on the beam above Emperor Xudu's head, and the wind suddenly appeared.
Feeling the murderous aura in the yin wind, the Emperor Yudu immediately became energetic, no longer listless, but still calm and calm, and was not alarmed. Still savoring his delicious breakfast without hurrying.
At this moment, the black shadow that fell from the sky had already fallen on the body of Emperor Xudu, and he was easily pressed to the ground with his strength.
When the Emperor fell backwards, the table behind the black shadow also turned over at the same time, and the soup and rice were scattered with the throwing of dishes and chopsticks.
Emperor Xudu clearly saw that the ghost riding on him and stepping on his hands with his feet was a slender black-haired demon soul with a pair of triangular ears standing upright on his head, and his oval pupils were full of murderous aura.
This is exactly a fox ghost.
The right hand was raised above his head, and the tip of the short knife he was holding tightly in his hand, the sharp sword flashed with a cold light, and it was already aimed at the motionless Adam's apple of the Emperor Xudu.
"Your Majesty, our king wants me to say hello to you!" Seeing that Emperor Xudu's face did not change, the short knife in the hand of this demon soul fox ghost fell without hesitation, and with the cold wind, it stabbed straight at the Adam's apple of Emperor Xudu.
Seeing that the extremely sharp tip of the knife was about to pierce the flesh of Emperor Xudu's neck, cutting it open and exposing his trachea to the yin wind, the fox ghost suddenly struck, and the short knife in his hand stopped at a place that was no more than a point away from Emperor Xudu's throat.
It's a close call.
Emperor Xudu used the thick Xuan power in his body to condense a qi armor unhurriedly, quickly covering his whole body and blocking the extremely sharp tip of the knife.
What Emperor Xudu and Xiao Shizhu have in common is that they have both encountered too many assassinations, and they have long been surprised by this, and they also have a wealth of experience in dealing with them.
The fox ghost who was pressing the Emperor Xudu was still exerting his strength, trying to exert all his strength, and he also wanted to hand the immovable short knife forward a little further. At the same time, he scolded and said, "Old ghost, it's time for you to abdicate." ”。
"You should die!" Emperor Xudu heard this, and spat out these four words, word by word.
The gaze in his eyes became even colder!
When the word "了" fell to the ground, the temperature around them had plummeted, and it was bitterly cold.
On the fox ghost who assassinated him, a little bit of white frost appeared.
The crystal clear frost grew when it saw the wind, and soon spread all over the fox ghost's body, freezing the fox ghost into an ice lump in the blink of an eye.
The fox ghost still had a look of surprise and panic on his face and eyes, and it was also frozen as his whole body was frozen.
Emperor Xudu roared angrily, unraveling the Qi Armor Technique and bursting out with mysterious power all over his body. The mysterious power came out of the body, like an uncontrollable wind, scattering in all directions.
The fox ghost, who had already become an ice bump, was reloaded by the furious roaring Xuanli, and immediately shattered into countless pieces of ice slag, throwing and catapulting like a quadrangle.
Emperor Xudu stood up unhurriedly, and gently patted off the small pieces of ice slag scattered on his sleeves. I didn't even look at the corpses of fox ghosts scattered around.
The frost on those corpses quickly dissipated without a trace, and the flesh and blood were blurred and shattered, scattered on the main hall, and it was impossible to overlap in the blood and water scattered all over the place.
This fox ghost chose the wrong opponent, and he will no longer see the dazzling bright and cloudy light on the top of Luo Yu Mountain at noon today.
"Your Majesty!".
At the same time, the guards outside the door, who had only realized what was happening in the hall, rushed in and were relieved to see that the assassin was dead and that the Emperor was safe and sound. But he hurriedly knelt in front of the Emperor Xudu, and pleaded guiltily: "The ministers should die, and let the assassin enter the main hall." ”。
Emperor Xudu seemed to be in a good mood today, and he didn't mean to punish the guards, but just said lightly: "Spread the food again and clean up this place." ”。
Not a word about anything else.
Then, with his hands behind his back, he walked slowly out of the main hall after bypassing the guards in front of him.
He had just come to the outside of the main hall, and from a distance, he saw the reincarnation king who had already gone up the mountain, under the guidance of the palace slaves, rushing towards the side of the Heavenly Temple in the North Yin Middle.
Seeing that the guards and palace slaves in the vicinity were busy with something, the reincarnation king came to the Emperor Xudu, knelt down and saluted, and asked, "Your Majesty, what happened?"
"There was a fox ghost who didn't know whether he was alive or dead and wanted to assassinate me, but he was torn apart by my five horses. Emperor Xudu said this lightly, slowly walked to the jade fence outside the main hall and stood still, put his hands forward, pestle on the jade fence, and looked at the sky in the distance.
"Fox ghost?" The Wheel King, who was kneeling not far from him, was stunned for a moment and slowly raised his head to look at the Emperor Xudu, and said thoughtfully: "Could it be that the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom is causing trouble?"
As for the side of the reincarnation king, the palace slave who went to invite him was already trembling with fright, and the palace slave who had no master of the six gods was stunned in place, and he didn't dare to breathe.
Although this palace slave did not know anything about it, if the Emperor Xudu really wanted to vent his anger, this palace slave would bear the brunt of the crime.
However, Emperor Xudu seems to have changed his cruel temper in the past today, and he didn't say anything to sit together. It's just that after hearing the speculation of the reincarnation king, he slowly shook his head and said, "It's a fox ghost, yes, but it may not be the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom." I'm afraid it's an assassin from the Nine Shadows Kingdom?".
However, Emperor Xudu was not sure, so there was always suspicion in his eyes when he spoke.
"Use a fox ghost to deceive me, so as to destroy the friendship that the imperial court and the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom have secretly established. After a pause, he said the same thing again.
But he was not angry, and his tone and speed of speech were always calm.
Even when it comes to the Nine Shadows Kingdom, which is incompatible with himself, this is also the case.
"Your Majesty, this time I'm afraid it's really not the deception of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, it's really the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom that is too inflated. Not far away, the King of Reincarnation, who was still kneeling on the ground, said firmly to the Emperor of Xudu: "The minister went up the mountain last night to report a situation, and some of the imperial court's weapons depots in the eastern region of Liutianzhou have been looted. Moreover, the ghost officers and ghost soldiers we sent to Qingqiu Fox Country to escort the ghost cannon have all disappeared mysteriously. ”。
"Missing?" A look of surprise finally appeared in Emperor Xudu's eyes.
He turned his head and saw the Wheel King with a solemn face, and nodded slowly.
"Didn't you write a few days ago saying that you have completed the handover of weapons and are ready to return home?" After being stunned for a moment, the surprise in the eyes of Emperor Xudu had turned into incomprehension and confusion.
"yes, that's why I'm missing, and I haven't had any contact with me so far. The King of Reincarnation looked puzzled, and said suspiciously: "I don't see people alive or dead, and I don't see corpses." The Sea Boy cavalry on the weak water has been out to search for three days, but there is still no news. The minister guessed that they would not be able to get out of the territory of the Qingqiu Fox Country. ”。
Emperor Xudu slowly turned his head, looked away, and stared into the distance in front of him again.
