Taifeng, who was extremely disappointed, was already bent on death, so he simply closed his eyes and sat quietly in the dark and waited for death.

The noise outside soon stopped, and then the door to the hut was kicked open from the outside. The muffled thud of the door as it opened made the muscles in the corners of Taifeng's eyes tremble in the dark.

In addition to the fierce night wind, there is also a strong smell of blood.

Sure enough, there was a fight outside the door before.

But this also made Tai Feng suddenly a little curious, eager to see what these ghosts who quickly solved the heavy guards outside the door looked like, so he opened his eyes that had not been closed for a long time, and raised his eyes to look out of the gate.

I saw that the moon was bright and the stars were sparse outside, and three or five ghost figures stood proudly in the cold night breeze and stood in front of the door. On the right hand, there is a long knife in his hand. The blade was slanted, shimmering with a cold light as cold as water in the dark night.

"Is it time for me to die?" asked Tae-bong, who was sitting in the room, unhurriedly, because of the backlight, Tae-bong had not been able to see the faces of the ghosts at the door. can only be seen from the body shape, they are all human souls.

"No, Lord Taifeng, we are here to save you. The human soul at the head was slightly stunned, then spat a deep voice, and then took a step forward into the house and stood in front of Tai Feng.

Tai Feng vaguely saw the appearance of the ghost, which was a human soul with thick eyebrows and big eyes and a square face. I saw that he raised the steel knife without hesitation and split the shackles on Tai Feng's body with one sword.

The hand is neat, and the knife is fast and accurate.

In an instant, the ghost qi on Tai Feng's body was no longer heavy, and began to flow slowly, and the paralyzing feeling in his body caused by the shackles of the big peach wood was gradually dissipating.

The sharp-eyed Tai Feng, when the other party dropped the knife, he could vaguely see in the darkness that the knife in the opponent's hand was straight and upright, with both the king of the sword and the overlord of the sword. The key is that the ring-shaped stem between the knife stem and the gauntlet is carved with blooming flowers.

As early as when he was still lurking around Zhuan, Taifeng had seen some information collected by the bear country. Intelligence said that the system of the Nine Shadows Kingdom surpassed that of the Northern Yin Dynasty, and even the swords and guns had unique markings. For example, knives, no matter what kind of army they use, use long straight knives, from the handle to the blade, there are strict specifications, and they can be used by horses and waterways. Even the stem hoop is carved with a pattern that symbolizes the blooming flower of the Nine Shadows Kingdom.

It can be seen from this that it was the ghosts of the Nine Shadows Kingdom who came to save him.

Surprised, Tai Feng hurriedly asked, "Are you the ghosts of the Nine Shadows Kingdom?"

"Yes. The ghost was not surprised by this, and he did not hide it, but replied with a slight bow.

Tai Feng was even more surprised, and exclaimed urgently: "This city is heavily guarded, how did you get in?" At the same time, he was also surprised in his heart, and confusion followed, I don't know why the ghosts of the Nine Shadows Kingdom would come to save him?

"The second general of Ganliu is small and big, the city's defense is loose inside and tight outside, and it is easy for us to enter such a city. The ghost replied proudly, then paused, and said to Tai Feng, "The ghost who came to give you poisonous wine has been killed by us." Whether Lord Taifeng wants to continue to wait for death here or go with us is up to you, and this is the exact word that my lord has entrusted us to convey to you. ”。

"What's the matter, the Nine Shadows King is also here?" Tai Feng was even more surprised, his eyes widened.

The ghost smiled and said nothing, how could Xiao Shizhu be in the Fenglin Continent? It's just that the communication of the Nine Shadows Kingdom is already faster than that of the other ghost and ghost country in the Netherworld.

"But why should I go to the enemy and commit treason?" said Taebong, who had stood up after a moment of silent thought, to the ghost. said that he was very confident, but his heart had already wavered.

For Taifeng, going to the Nine Shadows Country is a better choice at the moment. It's better than continuing to be foolishly loyal to the Northern Yin Dynasty, which has disappointed him to the extreme.

"If you want to see the fall of the Northern Yin Dynasty that disappoints you, just follow us, the King of the Nine Shadows will value a ghost like you, and will never be unfair to you. But if you want to continue to be foolish and loyal to the Northern Yin Dynasty, then just wait for death here. The ghost put away the smile on his face and said, "We are waiting for you outside the door, but please hurry up, Lord Taifeng, and decide that we will leave this place quickly." ”。

With that, the ghost strode out and stood outside the door. Leaving Taifeng alone, he stood in the room and pondered in the dark.

Outside this house, far away from the military camp of the Xudu Army, the night wind was still cold, and the bodies of the guards had all turned into blood-colored powder.

If this happened not long after the Battle of Flying Frost Valley, Tai Feng would never have thought of going with those ghosts of the Nine Shadows Kingdom outside the door, he would even shout and summon the Xudu Army not far away to deal with these ghosts of the Nine Shadows Kingdom who sneaked into the city. But now it is no longer what it used to be, and he is extremely disappointed in the Northern Yin Dynasty and the Emperor Xudu, who does not trust him.

He was once born and died for the Beiyin Dynasty, twisting his head and lurking around the enemies of the court, worrying every day, but he couldn't be affirmed, and he suffered humiliation.

Thinking about this, Taifeng is such a calm ghost, and the more he thinks about it, the more angry he becomes, and there is hatred in his anger. Simply turned his heart sideways in anger and walked towards the outside of the house.

"I'll go with you. Tai Feng quickly stood outside the house, looked up at the sky, one by one inlaid in the gray night sky, that when the spring of the underworld came, it would become a green star, and said hatefully: "I am very willing, and happy to see the day when the Beiyin Dynasty falls." The previous desire for death is gone......

In the Jade Que City of Yuque City, on the square in front of the Tianquan Palace, in front of the jade tree that will drip water in the morning and evening, two opposing tables have been placed. Unlike the state banquet two days ago, this table is not for eating, but for negotiations.

Xiao Shizhu and Hu Lan are about to start negotiations between the two countries here. The main reason is that after the Nine Shadows sent troops to reinforce the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom, what interests did it have for the Nine Shadows Kingdom. and the Nine Shadows Army went to Dongying Continent, and the Qingqiu Fox Country was responsible for the food supply.

A few years ago, Emperor Xudu clamored to destroy the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom, but not only did it not materialize, but instead made the territory of the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom bigger and bigger.

Of course, at that time, the Emperor of Xudu had a lot of troubles, and there were rebellions one after another in various places, so that he had no intention of managing Dongyingzhou wholeheartedly, so that the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom was strong today.

But today's Beiyin Dynasty is not what it used to be, although the Beiyin Dynasty lost three states, but let the remaining seven continents in the underworld are in the hands of the Beiyin Dynasty, it's time to settle down and clean up the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom.

This makes the pressure on the Qingqiu Fox Country more and more great. In addition to this country in Dongyingzhou, other ghost countries have also thrown themselves into the arms of the Northern Yin Dynasty. The Qingqiu Fox Kingdom was in danger of being attacked on its belly and back, and had to turn to Xiao Shizhu for help.

And Xiao Shizhu has been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, so he can't ask for it.

Once he can send troops into Dongyingzhou, he will be able to occupy Dongyingzhou. Once Dongyingzhou is included in the territory of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, it will be able to complete the roundabout strategy against the Northern Yin Dynasty. Advance can attack the coastline of Liutianzhou from the south to the east, and retreat can advance eastward to occupy Fenglin Continent and Kunlun Continent.

Since Xiao Shizhu made up his mind to completely fall out with the Beiyin Dynasty, this roundabout strategy has been quietly implemented step by step.

And it can also cut off the food supply of the Northern Yin Dynasty, making the annual output of ghost food in the Northern Yin Dynasty drop by more than half. Killing two birds with one stone, Xiao Shizhu has always been happy to do it. Moreover, there is also the Qingqiu Fox Country as the base, which saves the trouble of grabbing the beach and landing, and also has the name of helping the Qingqiu Country to defend against the enemy.

He and Hu Lan sat opposite each other in front of the jade tree, and the ghost mother didn't come today, and Xiao Shizhu was followed by Lu Wu and Changqin, and of course, his Xiao Shizhu's pet Dahua.

After sitting for a long time, Lu Wu handed Hu Lan the treaty drafted by the Nine Shadows Kingdom.

Green smoke curled from the incense burner in front of the table, and Hu Lan unfolded the treaty and looked at it with his entourage. Xiao Shizhu was not in a hurry, and waited for a leisurely tea sip.

And the treaty in Hu Lan's hands does not have much content, it is nothing more than that the Nine Shadows Kingdom first sent 600,000 troops, but all the expenses of this army in the continent must be borne by the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom. After the army of the Nine Shades Kingdom attacked the city, the occupied cities were classified as the land of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, and afterwards, the families of the 600,000 troops immigrated to Dongyingzhou, and the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom wanted to give certain material assistance and so on.

However, Hu Lan still watched it for a long time. He can agree to several clauses on it. But in the end, there was one more thing that he couldn't easily agree to. This clause is that once the army of the Nine Shadows Kingdom enters the country, all wars in Dongying Continent will be dispatched and commanded by the generals of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, and the army of the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom will be incorporated into the army of the Nine Shadows Kingdom and obey the orders of the generals of the Nine Shadows Kingdom. Those who do not obey the order will be dealt with according to the military regulations of the Nine Hidden States.

And all the military ghost officials in the country must obey the dispatch and command of the ghost officials and ghost officials sent by the Nine Shadows Country.

This article is invisibly equivalent to hollowing out the military power of the Qingqiu Fox King.

"King of the Nine Shadows, the first few can be unconditionally promised to you, but the last one, hand over our army and command to your country, I'm afraid it's inappropriate. Hu Lan, who had slender white fur on his body, looked up at Xiao Shizhu opposite, and a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes.

The air around the table became a little frozen. The ghosts in the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom Mission, looking at the ghosts of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, were all filled with anger, and they all felt that Xiao Shizhu was taking advantage of the fire to rob.

But they only have such an idea when they see their own interests. Xiao Shizhu is not stupid enough to have an infighting at such a juncture. He would never do what a bastard would do.

Xiao Shizhu smiled indifferently and slowly put down the blood jade teacup in his hand. He had already expected that when he saw this, the ghost envoy would inevitably cheat him, and he was still calm.

I saw that he first raised his left hand with a smile and said nothing, spread out his five fingers inward, and then used the index finger of his right hand to bend his thumb, index finger and middle finger one after another, so that only the ring finger and little finger were still pointing straight to the sky, and said leisurely: "This is our Nine Shadows Kingdom, and the remaining two fingers are your Qingqiu Fox Kingdom." If there is no unified scheduling, it will be scattered into five fingers, each fighting its own, and it will not be able to effectively attack the enemy no matter what. ”。

"If you want to solve the crisis in the Qingqiu Fox Country, you can only clench your five fingers. Xiao Shizhu, who paused, Huo Ran clenched his five fingers and clenched them into a fist: "Only by uniting together can we give your enemies the deadliest blow." ”。

"And the integration of your army into our army means that your fox and ghost soldiers are also equipped with our country's advanced weapons, which is equivalent to arming your ghost soldiers to the teeth. This is my reward for your unified dispatch of the army. Xiao Shizhu looked directly at Hu Lan without fear, and said word by word: "If we can't unify the scheduling, we will all face the end of being broken one by one." ”。
