[280] Whether or not to be loyal
A month ago, Mo Zhai took them to quietly set off from Moluo Mountain, the main altar of the Mo family, and after carefully avoiding the sentry posts and searches of the Xuan Emperor Army and the Xudu Army, they went to the seaside on the northwest border of the Black Tooth Country. At that time, Lin Cong thought that Mo Zhai was going back to the capital, but he never thought that Mo Zhai had taken him on a boat hidden in the Huangquan Sea, a reef cave near the shore.
Then they have been drifting in the Yellow Springs Sea with the fresh water and food they have placed on this boat, sometimes south, sometimes westward, sometimes north, stalking in the water irregularly and unplannedly.
Only at night will it rise to the surface and stretch out the bulkhead of the upper cabin to collect air.
At this time, even Lin Cong was a little stunned, he had been secretly wondering if Mo Zhai had temporarily changed his plan, after all, such a thing was not unprecedented, but he was afraid of making many parties suspicious and did not dare to ask more, so he had to pretend to be very curious about everything on the ship, and at the same time, he secretly guessed in his heart.
"Oh oh!" Now that Lin Cong asked inadvertently, Mo Zhai said something without thinking and doubting, Lin Cong hurriedly pretended to be a natural sudden realization, and then asked urgently: "Is it the one you told me when I was at the altar that we were going to make a big move in the capital?"
It seems that being able to do bad things with Mo Zhai is something that makes him extremely happy.
"Yes. Mo Zhai smiled, Lin Cong was always like a child, and his joys, sorrows and sorrows were written on his face, which made Mo Zhai feel at ease.
"Such a ghost will not betray me. Mo Zhai smiled, but said to himself like this in his heart.
"But why don't we go to the Qinglong Sea? Isn't that faster?" Lin Cong scratched his head again, complaining and asked: "In this Huangquan Sea, it doesn't matter if you can't see dragons, you can't see the fish, it's all muddy water, it's too bad scenery!"
"Hahaha. Mo Zhai was slightly stunned, then laughed even more happily, smiled and bent down slightly, and then said to Lin Cong in a relatively gentle tone compared with the past, like coaxing a child: "Yes, the scenery, next time we won't leave;
After thinking for a while, Lin Cong also nodded and said, "Yes." ”。
"Big brother, why do you think so comprehensively?" After a pause, he raised his hand and patted his head, and said with a heartfelt compliment: "Why didn't I think of it?"
Mo Zhai smiled and said nothing, but from the faint smugness in his eyes, it could be seen that Lin Cong's sycophants were very useful.
"I'm sleepy after playing for a long time, I'm going to squint. Without waiting for Mo Zhai's smugness to dissipate, Lin Cong yawned, stretched his waist, and went straight to the back cabin.
He always does his own thing like this, and Mo Zhai has long been used to it, and he didn't care about it at the moment, so he said, "Go ahead." ", I didn't care about Lin Cong.
After entering the rest cabin on the ship, which belonged to him so small that he could only fit a small bed, Lin Cong closed the door, and a fungus man came out of his sleeve and quickly climbed onto his shoulder.
Although Mo Zhai has a divine body, his perception is not as strong as Yingying's, so this fungus man has been following Lin Cong, and he has not been able to detect it.
The fungus man just sat down on his shoulder, and before he could speak, Lin Cong quickly made a "boo" gesture, raised his outstretched left hand, and turned his palm towards the fungus man.
He knew very well that although Mo Zhai's perception was not strong, his ear power was excellent, and when he spoke at this time, even if he was through the hatch, no matter how low his voice was, he would be heard by Mo Zhai not far away, causing the whereabouts of the fungus to be exposed, not to mention, and he was still worried about his life, so he chose a method not to say to convey information.
Then he let out a long yawn, and at the same time, using the index finger of his right hand as a pen, he slowly wrote the nine words "Mo Zhai's plan remains unchanged" on the palm of his left hand.
The fungus man saw what he had written by the glow of the runes, and then tilted his head a little, and crawled down his arm again, into his sleeve......
The ice rain and cold wind fell into the sinkhole one after another, slapping everything in the Jade Que Palace. Most of the raindrops gathered along the eaves and fell to the ground with a pause, and slowly dissolved into depressions of different sizes and shades on the floor tiles of the woods and bamboos between the halls and pavilions.
Xiao Shizhu crossed Erlang's legs and sat in the depths of the main hall of Tianyang Palace, his plaque hanging on the wall in the depths, and the little handsome face in the shadow projected, his eyes stared at the mountains of notebooks on the bookcase in front of him, frowning, and his eyes showed a faint reluctance.
But these recitals are all related to the military operations of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, since he and the ghost mother listened to the government in the same dynasty, this kind of affairs has always been taken care of by him, and it is not okay not to look at the recitals. At that moment, after Xiao Shizhu pondered for a long time, he finally slowly opened the book at the beginning, and after reading it carefully, he lifted the Longhao brush that was still turning leisurely in his hand, and pointed the tip of the pen into the Zhu Mo inkstone.
After approving the manuscript for a while, Xiao Shizhu had already changed four or five sitting postures. Either squatting on the throne like an eagle on a cliff, or retracting one leg, bending it and stepping on the edge of the throne, biting the barrel of the pen diagonally in the mouth.
has not the slightest princely demeanor, and it is not like a son of a god, but like a little ruffian. Even Ruyu, who was hanging on the wall behind him, couldn't help frowning slightly when he saw this.
Just when Xiao Shizhu was about to run out of patience, Chen Ruo suddenly entered without reporting, and after standing in front of him, he saw that only Xiao Shizhu and Ruyu were in the lobby, so he saluted slowly, but said, "Lord, there is another letter from the north." ”。
To the north is a code they have drawn up, specifically referring to the Emperor of Xudu, and the ghosts who don't know the reason think they are talking about Shuoyue Island or Fengdushi County.
"Oh?" Xiao Shizhu's eyes lit up, the excitement in his eyes swept away the impatience in his eyes before, and hurriedly asked, "What task?"
"Let me secretly remind King Qin Guang to report your recent military deployment to the north. Chenruo, who had a solemn face, lowered his voice a little more.
Xiao Shizhu was silent when he heard this, and groaned slightly, he had already seen through the 'bitter meat plan' used by Emperor Xudu with Jiang Ziwen, and he also expected the arrival of this day, but he thought that the other party would use green beads and pothos to make contact, but he didn't expect that the other party would use Chen Ruo to be the ghost of contact.
This situation can only show two problems, maybe the Emperor Xudu no longer trusts the green beads and pothos, and has no choice but to use Chen Ruo, a chess piece that he thinks is still well hidden. Or maybe Chenruo is no longer trusted.
If the former is fine, the latter is not a small risk. If it is not handled properly, it will kill Chenruo, and he will definitely be burned.
Xiao Shizhu thought of this, and while thinking about countermeasures, he secretly asked himself: "Am I a little arrogant recently?"
He put down the pen in his hand, and tapped his fingers lightly on the tabletop, in rhythm with the sound of raindrops outside the room, and the candle flame in the lampstand was reflected in his eyes, and in his eyes, which were as bright as stars, lit up a little red light.
"That's it. After pondering for a long time, Xiao Shizhu stood up and slowly bypassed the bookcase: "You contact King Qin Guang as usual, don't change the order, I want to see how he handles it?" When he finished speaking, he just stood in front of Chenruo.
"This ......" Chen Ruo was suddenly stunned when she heard this, she was originally here to seek a countermeasure that would have the best of both worlds, but she didn't expect Xiao Shizhu to directly choose to take the risk. If Jiang Ziwen had informed Emperor Xudu of the true situation, then the Nine Shadows Kingdom, which had been in the limelight recently and had a sudden increase in land, would inevitably be hit.
"Huh. Xiao Shizhu glanced at the look of worry in the depths of her eyes, smiled indifferently, and said in a disapproving tone: "You don't have to worry, I didn't make a hasty decision, but I want to try Jiang Ziwen's loyalty." What's more, there is no impermeable wall in the world, even if Jiang Ziwen doesn't enter the market, there are ghosts who will do it. ”。
The ghost in his painting naturally refers to the two sisters of green beads and green pothos.
Chen Ruo raised his eyes when he heard this, staring at the confidence between his eyebrows, and after pondering for a long time, he still chose to obey the order, and after nodding in response, he turned around and withdrew from Tianyang Palace with a wave of Xiao Shizhu's hand.
The Tianlu Pavilion in the Yuque Palace, formerly known as the Gonggong Library Building, is not far from the Tianyang Palace, in order to allow Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother, who often work in the Tianyang Palace, to access all kinds of copywriting in time.
Chen Ruo left Tianyang Palace, turned a corner, and headed in the direction of Shifang.
She stepped on the path paved with round jade and planted with many dragon's blood trees on both sides, walked about half a cup of tea, and then stood in front of a courtyard full of blood-red petals, but the stamens were verdant green, and exuded bursts of strange fragrance.
"I'm here to get some files for the Mother of the Nation. Chenruo, who had calm eyes, took out a piece of the pass of the inner palace, held it up to the guards guarding the door, and then put it away.
"Tatsurua-sama, please. The leader of the guards recognized that the ghost was the female officer next to the mother of the country, and hurriedly pushed and laughed sideways to give way.
"Good work. Chen Ruo smiled and nodded, slowly walked into the courtyard, and walked towards the strange three-story stone tower that stood in the middle of the courtyard and was composed of eight huge turquoise stone pillars in the shape of a hexahedron, and was connected by a corridor.
Came to the quiet hall on the first floor of the tower, those huge bookshelves full of bookcases and all kinds of copywriting, and files stood still, Chen Ruo's eyes swept forward, and soon found Jiang Ziwen's figure from the open space in the middle of the bookshelf, sitting behind the long desk, and copying something on the white paper on the desk.
She walked straight to Jiang Ziwen and stood still, glanced at the transcript he was copying, which was written by Qiushuang on Sanxing Island, and said unhurriedly: "Lord Jiang, I will take some notes about the cultivated land yield of Sanxing Island this year for the mother of the country." ”。
Jiang Ziwen stopped writing, looked up at her, and smiled slightly: "Lord Chenruo, do you have a hand-batch?"
