The wind and rain outside the hall are still there, and the sound of clamming is non-stop. The sky was covered with dark clouds, and there was no intention of dispersing. There was rain and mist between the heavens and the earth, and it was dark.

The guards in the hall gave the lamps, and the main hall was brightened up. Dongyue looked at the gift list carefully through the candlelight, and the more she looked at it, the more she smacked her tongue. Not to mention the beginning of the gift list, it was woven with gold silk, the satin surface was smooth as a mirror, and the brightly colored brocade was extremely valuable, and each one was worth a lot of money. Let's talk about the purple jade plates and fire qi gemstone screens on the gift list, as well as the flying dragon phoenix carved in amber, and the fairy jade jade cup that can emit a luscious fragrance, each of which is priceless.

Not only that, but it was also clearly written on the gift list that this time, King Lei Ze also sent tens of thousands of stones of refined iron that could be forged weapons for the Nine Shadows Kingdom.

Don't look at such a small thing, but King Razor has already made a lot of money.

Dongyue was a little surprised, this King Lei Ze had nothing to do, and he gritted his teeth and poured such a big blood to give gifts, what did he want to make trouble about? Is it really just for the sake of peace, and he felt that he had made a mistake in raiding the Dragon Horse of the Nine Shadows Country before? But after thinking about it, he thought that not long ago, he received a letter from the summer palace in charge of the military administration and military affairs of the Nine Shadows Kingdom. It is mentioned that many ghost countries in Dongyi Continent are about to receive a holy decree from Xudu, asking them to gather troops and horses to attack and dare to establish themselves as kings, and take the initiative to break away from the repeated heavens of the Northern Yin Dynasty.

The country of Lei Ze is not a powerful country in the first place, and it has to gather soldiers and horses to attack the heavens according to the requirements of Emperor Xudu, but it has to guard against the Nine Shadows Kingdom, which has already offended. It is equivalent to the fact that the country of Lei Ze will inevitably face the problem of fighting on two fronts, and it will inevitably be difficult.

From this point of view, Lei Zeguo came to pay tribute to the Nine Shadows Country at this time, which is nothing more than asking the Nine Shadows Kingdom to ignore the past suspicions, and not to take advantage of the fire to rob when the Lei Ze Kingdom sent troops to attack that day.

It's just that all of this has already been expected by Xiao Shizhu.

When he knew that Zaotian had established himself as king without knowing whether he was alive or dead, and also announced his departure from the Beiyin Dynasty, he thought of the cautious Emperor Xudu, who would never spare the traitor of Zaotian.

Emperor Xudu's hatred for the queen was only inferior to his hatred for Xiao Shizhu.

And the military strength of the Northern Yin Dynasty in the capital must retain its strength to fight a decisive battle with him and the Nine Shadows Kingdom, and will not send troops to Dongyi Continent, which has been abandoned. Xiao Shizhu just thought about it, and thought that the Emperor Xudu would inevitably let the ghost kingdoms in the continent, who had returned to the embrace of the Northern Yin Dynasty, send troops to attack the heavens.

First, it does not cost a single soldier of the Northern Yin Dynasty to do this, and secondly, it can save the face of the Emperor Xudu. What's more, he has only gained a firm foothold in Dongyi Continent for many days, and there is no big force for the time being, and the encirclement of several ghost countries will not let him perish and make him dying.

What's more, Emperor Xudu also knows a little bit about Xiao Shizhu, this kind of thing that can pick up leaks and take advantage of it, Xiao Shizhu will not fail to take action. Moreover, Xiao Shizhu's appetite is not small, and it is bound to make Dongyi Continent only a regime in the Nine Shadows Kingdom, and it will eventually clean up for many days.

When the time comes, let Xiao Shizhu's Nine Shadow Kingdoms and these ghost countries consume each other, and the Northern Yin Dynasty of his Emperor Xudu can recuperate, why not?

Xiao Shizhu, who figured out this layer, immediately formulated a relative strategy, he couldn't let Emperor Xudu lead him by the nose. So on Samsung Island, he gave Dongyue an order in advance. If the country of Lei Ze comes to sue for peace, the gift can be accepted, but the lion must open his mouth and ask for more things.

The so-called mutual consumption, Xiao Shizhu did not plan to follow the path planned by Emperor Xudu. What will consume each other will only be Repeat Heaven and other ghost kingdoms, and his Nine Ghost Kingdoms can also be recuperated.

After carefully reading the gift list a few times, Dong Yu put down the gift list in his hand, and according to the strategy set by Xiao Shizhu before, he immediately turned his face to the smiling envoy, and scolded angrily: "Just this thing, are you Lei Zeguo called Huazi when he wants to eat?"

The yin wind swirled into the hall, and the candle flame shone on her face, covering her face with a slight shadow, showing that her delicate facial features were full of hideous colors.

A dazzling icy electric light fell from the sky again, illuminating the hall even brighter. Seeing this, with the thunder that fell from the sky after the lightning disappeared, he was so frightened that his heart trembled suddenly.

"My lord, these are the only best things that my country can take out after saving money. Immediately afterwards, the envoy was obviously a dignified man, but he did not hesitate to bend his knees, Huo Ran knelt down for the little woman Dongyue, and kept kowtowing and begging: "But please be merciful to the adults, the king of the nine shadows to be merciful, and pity the people in my country." ”。

As he spoke, he burst into tears.

Dongyue looked down on this envoy and kept knocking her head like a chicken pecking rice. His forehead frequently hit the cold floor tiles, and in an instant, the scalp on his forehead was cracked, and a trace of red ghost blood seeped out, slowly sliding between the facial features of his face.

The mixture of blood and tears, I still had a straight face, and the blue face of Dongyue was secretly a little worried.

To make it so miserable and helpless, she suddenly remembered what Xiao Shizhu often said to them every day: "A weak country has no diplomacy!"

Dongyue finally understood thoroughly, why Xiao Shizhu was so lazy, just thinking about eating, drinking, and having fun, a human soul was reused in the ghost mother country, to the establishment of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, and then to the present, he has always dared to be busy and idle. is often busy with state affairs, and even personally conquers internal and external opponents many times, in order to prevent the Nine Shadows Kingdom from becoming a weak country, so that the ministers under Xiao Shizhu will not be as humble and pitiful as the current ghost envoy of the Lei Ze Kingdom.

"In any case, it was the ghost country that sent troops to attack our country for no reason. If you want peace, and if you want our country to ignore your past suspicions, you have to send another 100,000 fine iron and tens of thousands of good wood, otherwise I won't be able to plead for you in front of my lord. Thinking of this, Dongyue didn't have any worries, she couldn't be soft-hearted, otherwise the Nine Shadows would become a weak country, otherwise in the near future, it might be her who knelt and kowtowed.

"In addition, there are fifty million taels of silver. Don't use the dark coins printed in the world to pay off your debts, we want the dark silver made from the silver mines dug up in the underworld. So after a pause, she said categorically: "Without these compensations, this war will never be extinguished, if you don't give it, it's okay, we will take it ourselves, anyway, the Nine Shadows Kingdom has elite soldiers and advanced firearms." ”。

As soon as these words came out, the envoy stopped kowtowing, and his eyes were flustered. When he raised his head, there was a little more helplessness and sadness in the panic under the tears......

Yuque Palace, in the Absolute Fragrance Garden.

After bathing in the incense of Xiao Caryophyllus, the water vapor in the building slowly diffuses, floating among the strange flowers and plants in the building, leaving a little droplet of water on the petals and blades of grass.

Xiao Shizhu wore his robe, standing barefoot in front of the recital in the middle of the building, the tips of his long black hair scattered over his shoulders were still quietly dripping.

"That's how it happened. In front of him, facing the fungus man god who came straight to him, he said to him slowly: "Lord Dongyue asked the ghost envoy of Lei Zeguo to go back and prepare additional compensation, and the compensation sent together with the ghost envoy is also arranging for a sailor to be transported to Xuanyan Continent. ”。

"Tell Dongyue that Jingtie will stay in Dongyizhou for the use of the garrisons in various parts of the continent. Just ship the jewelry back. Xiao Shizhu slowed down with satisfaction, and said to Shen Ji again: "Tell Ah San to come to see me in the afternoon, these jewels have to be sold by him in other states, and they will be replaced with begonia wood (it is also a kind of wood that will not be silent and will not rot after soaking in water for a long time, and it is used to build ships in the underworld. Or unsinkable wood. ”。

As soon as the words were finished, the ghost mother, who was wearing a red coat and a dark blue veil attached to the Nine Zhai Crown of Cuibo Mountain, had slowly walked out from behind the screen on the side of the bed. The blue thread of the outer bundle was a drooping gentleman, swaying gently and rhythmically as she walked.

A jeweled body, but without losing the majesty of the mother of the country*.

In front of the ghost mother, she was still holding a green dress.

The ghost mother walked behind Xiao Shizhu, and after putting on the green clothes in her hand silently for Xiao Shizhu, she turned around and left, and after a while, she brought a knee cover and a big belt, and then silently put it on Xiao Shizhu.

Today is the day when Xiao Shizhu is going to sacrifice his parents. It must be dressed ceremoniously and neatly, and it can't be as casual as in the past.

Just when the ghost mother was dressing him, the fungus man Shenji, who had already passed on Xiao Shizhu's order, slowly opened his eyes, and said to Xiao Shizhu: "There is another thing, it is also news from Dongyizhou, it is from Lord Hu Hui. ”。

The ghost mother dressed Xiao Shizhu neatly and turned to leave again.

The fungus man slowly opened his mouth and told Xiao Shizhu about the ghost envoy who had repeatedly seen Hu Hui. Of course, it also includes the use of a fake ghost head for many days to impersonate the soul of the person who instigated King Razor to launch an attack on the Nine Shadows Kingdom.

After Xiao Shizhu heard what he said, his brows furrowed, and a little displeasure appeared in his eyes.

He is one of the few ghosts who knows that he has sent a soul to pretend to be a ghost in the drunken capital. Originally, he didn't want to settle this account with Jutian first, but Zaotian actually wanted to go against him, so it's no wonder that he was in the dark.

"Tell Hu Hui and Xuanshui that they promised to negotiate for many days, but they just dragged on and did not send troops. When the ghost mother held the Xuanbiao Zhuli in her hand, and there were red, white, green, yellow, and black crowns before and after, Xiao Shizhu had already said coldly to Shenji: "While treating the body of others in the way of others, I secretly sent someone to kill the real murderer, and I had to do it without leakage, and it was made into a suicide scene, which made many days feel distressed and distressed." ”。

Since he was unwilling to hand over the real murderer, Xiao Shizhu knew that this must be a ghost who was valued by many days, so he would rather disobey Xiao Shizhuyang than teach the real murderer.

So once this real murderer is ambushed, it is equivalent to going to a left arm or right arm for many days, this is Xiao Shizhu's unique way of revenge - come and not be rude.

"Yes. Shen Ji replied and retreated under Xiao Shizhu's wave. And the ghost mother also crowned her husband.

"The way you look now is most like a cloudy day. The ghost mother circled around her husband, her eyes kept looking at the straight gown on his body, and her mouth was amazed: "Majestic and domineering." ”。

"I think it's good that we don't have to sacrifice every day, otherwise this jingle will be troublesome. Xiao Shizhu muttered, raised his hand and opened the nine hands in front of the crown, and frowned again.

Just as he was frowning, the bell rang outside. The melodious and crisp sound of the bell echoed for a long time in the palace halls and pavilions.

"The time has come, the time has come, and it is time for us to set out for the temple to worship. At the same time, Qing Lan and Chen Ruo walked in quickly, stood in front of the ghost mother and Xiao Shizhu, bowed and saluted, and said in unison.

"Okay, let's go. Xiao Shizhu put down his hand, and with a move, the Moon Destroying Sword flew in the wind from the side of the bed and fell into his hands.
