In the south of Qingqiu Mountain, there is a pavilion ten miles outside the city, standing between the green bamboos, next to the official road.

This pavilion is made of stone blocks, simple and simple, solid and rugged. The top of the pavilion has four layers of heavy eaves, and the delicate dougong, moon beam, and finch for each other, and the corner beam are criss-crossed.

Hu Qingping, who was in the pavilion, stood with his hands in his hands, watching the official road outside the pavilion extend to the south, until it stretched into the distance beyond his eyes.

The ruts on the official road are still so clear.

That was the trace left by Changqin and the ghosts of the Nine Shadows Kingdom who had only been gone for a long time.

Because the car was full of gifts, the ruts left on the ground were not shallow.

Hu Qingping, who didn't say a word, never withdrew his gaze from afar. The direction he was looking was the same place where Changqin had left.

Not far behind him, at the round table in the pavilion, the Qingqiu Fox King was sitting at the table, drinking tea slowly.

He came after Changqin left, and it seems that he came here just to have a cup of tea.

The table was full of all kinds of exquisite tea sets, celadon lid jars and purple sand dragon egg pots, spirit fox pattern cups and other tea sets for drinking tea.

The palace slave on the side was cooking hot tea for the Qingqiu Fox King in the corner with the wind stove of the Qing porcelain fetus and the purple sand water cho.

The Qingqiu Fox King, who tasted tea leisurely, had a pleasant face.

After seeing that his son didn't say a word, he asked, "What, I don't understand?"

Hu Qingping, who was facing away from him, nodded silently.

Originally, he was going to win over Changqin yesterday, but he was temporarily terminated by the Qingqiu Fox King.

Since then, Hu Qingping has been puzzled, and it is still the case.

And this morning, the Fox King of Qingqiu suddenly asked Hu Qingping to hand over a letter to Changqin.

It was the one that Hu Qingping handed over to Changqin at the post house a few hours ago.

It is said that in this secret letter that Changqin brought to Hu Lan, the capital of the Nine Hidden Kingdoms, there was an order for Hu Lan to act secretly to help Changqin restore the country.

In fact, Hu Qingping knew that there was no such thing in the letter at all, just some simple greetings from the Qingqiu Fox King to Hu Lan.

The problem lies here, and this is what Hu Qingping can't understand.

After seeing his son nod, the Qingqiu Fox King raised the corners of his mouth and smiled lightly, and said, "You, you're still too young, and you can't hold your breath all the time." ”。

Hu Qingping did not say a word, and continued to look at the south without saying a word.

"You don't know the uniqueness of the letter, it's double-layered, with sun-dried green hill grass in between. The Qingqiu Fox King, who took a sip of tea, put down the tea cup in his hand.

The ghost slave hurried over and refilled the water for him.

Hu Qingping, who was not far away, was stunned when he heard this, of course he knew what Qingqiu grass was. That's one of them, the weeds on the hills. After drying, it can only be folded once, and if it is folded a second time, the dried weed will quickly turn into powder.

Thinking of this, Hu Qingping turned around, and looked at the Qingqiu Fox King who was leisurely drinking tea with incredible eyes.

He felt that this was a temptation of the Qingqiu Fox King to Changqin, just to see if he would open the letter and peek at Changqin on the road.

Once you peek at it and fold it again, the green hill grass in the letter paper will turn into powder after folding the secret letter again.

In this way, Hu Lan will know when she gets the secret letter.

But what is the meaning of this, Hu Qingping couldn't figure it out for a while.

"Actually, this is the last temptation, I have already repaired the book to your uncle, and when he gets the letter, the green hill grass in it will turn into powder, so there is no need to use the long piano. Qingqiu Fox King raised his eyes and saw his son Hu Qingping, after his eyes were a little more puzzled, he beckoned to his son and said slowly: "And if Changqin really looked at it, it means that all his previous performances are likely to be pretended, and the Nine Shadows Kingdom already knows everything we have done." ”。

Hu Qingping, who came over and sat down, exclaimed, "It's impossible to know, right?"

He felt that everything that his ghost country did behind his back was carried out in secret, and everything was normal, even Hu Lan, who was in the Nine Shadow Kingdom, did not notice anything abnormal; Hu Qingping did not believe that those things had been exposed.

Hu Qingping, who took the tea cup handed by the palace slave, secretly thought: What's more, with the strength of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, if he really discovered the small movements behind the backs of the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom, would he still be so silent?

"There has always been a rumor that there is a mysterious spy organization in the Nine Shadows Country, which is spread all over the ten continents and six seas, and it was gradually developed by Xiao Shizhu very early. Most of the members were ghost slaves sold by various ghost countries in the past and Mo family disciples who had died out. The Qingqiu Fox King, who put down the teacup, sent the palace slave to leave the stone pavilion first, and then said to his son: "It is said that these ghosts are powerful, good at lurking and stealth, and good at collecting intelligence, assassination, infiltration and sabotage behind enemy lines. Although all this has always been a rumor, and the Nine Shadows Kingdom itself has denied it many times, there is no such organization in the country, but I always feel that this rumor is not groundless. ”。

The cold wind was howling outside the stone pavilion, and a light rain was falling in the sky.

Dense raindrops are like dense cow hairs, falling from the sky and wetting the land under the rain and mist.

The stone steps of the stone pavilion were quickly wet by the dense rain.

The warped horns of the winged swallows are also slowly dripping from the depths.

In the sound of crackling, Hu Qingping drank the hot tea in the teacup, lifted the teapot on the table, and stored water for himself.

The sound of falling water echoed in the teacup. Looking at the ripples of tea swirling and reverberating in the cup, Hu Qingping said disappreliantly: "That's just a rumor; maybe it's the fake news that the Nine Shadows Kingdom itself deliberately released, so it can bluff him into a ghost, isn't the Nine Shadows Kingdom and Xiao Shizhu good at this?"

As he spoke, his eyes were full of disdain.

"That's true, but it's not wrong to be safe. "The Qingqiu Fox King is not sure, this legendary spy organization of the Nine Shadows Kingdom does not exist in the end.

However, he still decided to be more steady, and at the same time used this to test Changqin, it was proved that the Nine Shadows Kingdom had mastered the situation of the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom.

If Changqin really opened the secret letter, then not only would Changqin's soul be useless, but also the offensive of the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom would not be able to wait until after the rainy season.

At that time, the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom had to take advantage of the rainy season to start an attack, and hit the Nine Shadows Kingdom by surprise in advance.

The most important thing is that in this way, the Qingqiu Fox King will cancel his plan to go to the Nine Shadows Kingdom.

In comparison, the old fox of Qingqiu Fox King is indeed more scheming than the little fox of Fox Qingping.

That little fox Qingping, where did he think that there would be so many conspiracies behind a secret letter and a lie that left with the secret letter?

It's a pity that he chose the wrong opponent, and his old fox's opponent is the more ferocious Xiao Shizhu.

Hu Qingping was still a little puzzled, he couldn't think of his father's good intentions of the Qingqiu Fox King, but since the Qingqiu Fox King had already done this, Hu Qingping naturally had nothing to say, let alone any advice to give, so he had to put away the puzzle, calm down, and slowly sip the hot tea......

This is obviously the southern area of Dongyingzhou during the day, but it is dim because the dark clouds cover the cloudy day.

The entire southern counties were shrouded in rain, fog and cold winds.

Under the haze, there is always boundless repression filling every corner of heaven and earth.

The dense raindrops that fell with the wind, like broken threads, brought the oppressive, dreary atmosphere and cold to the damp and dark earth.

After the raindrops landed, they continued to cause ripples in the water on the ground.

And the goddess rode an eight-pointed white deer and galloped forward in the rain. Following her were Zhu Hai, who was carrying a double hammer, and Hu Hui, an old minister beside Xiao Shizhu.

Since Lin Cong was transferred back to Yuque City, Hu Hui stayed in Dongyi Continent for a period of time, and then he was transferred to Six Heavens Continent for secret business by the ghost mother. Recently, Hu Hui was secretly recalled to Dongyizhou, but then he followed the goddess of Gu Shooting all the way north and rushed to Dongyingzhou.

Behind these three old ghosts were the 50,000 troops urgently mobilized and assembled in Dongyi Continent, all fully armed.

This force will be secretly arranged in the middle of Dongying Continent, the northern region of the territory of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, that is, the area around the Fox Mountain.

Xiao Shizhu is already preparing for war after the rainy season.

There are thousands of choices, but he still thinks that the generals who are transferred to the area of the Fox Mountain must be ghost generals who can attack and defend.

Although there are many ghost generals in the Nine Shadows Country, there are also many people to choose from, but the land is vast and rich, and many places also need such ghost generals. Choosing and choosing, Xiao Shizhu felt that it was good to transfer troops and send generals nearby.

The leadership and offensive charge of the goddess are impeccable.

Zhu Hai's defensive ability and courage are famous all over the world.

As for Hu Hui, in addition to being calm and composed, he is very suitable for being a strategist, but also has extremely strong intelligence ability, prediction ability and loyalty to the Nine Shadows Kingdom.

With him to join the army, Xiao Shizhu was relieved.

Moreover, the Fox Mountain is one of the strategic places where the Nine Shadows Kingdom will compete for hegemony in the northern region of Dongyingzhou in the future, and its strategic position is particularly important.

Hu Hui is the best choice for Xiao Shizhu.

It just so happens that now Dongyizhou has settled down, the ghosts and people in various places have returned to obedience, all walks of life and order have been restored, the continent is stable and peaceful, and there are Yurong and Datou them, Xiao Shizhu can just call Hu back out.

At the same time, the little ghost who had just graduated from the school was transferred to Dongyizhou to exercise and experience.

At this moment, the army went all the way north along the southern part of Dongyingzhou in the torrential rain, but it did not enter the towns where it passed, nor did it stop.

The flag erected by the army was already soaked in the rain and could no longer fly, but the sergeants still carried it forward, so as not to be mistaken for an enemy by the garrison passing through the checkpoint.

However, there were not too many pedestrians near the underworld under the rainstorm, so that the traces of the army would not be exposed to the public.

Then the destination of this army, the vicinity of the Fox Mountain, the secret facilities under construction will not be exposed soon.

"General Gu Shot. ”。

After walking for a long time, the sharp-eyed Zhu Hai hung his fists behind his waist, raised his hand to wipe the cold rain on his face, raised his hand and pointed ahead, and said to the goddess beside him: "Look if that's here to pick us up." ”。

The goddess raised her eyes and followed the direction of his finger.

Through the dense rain curtain and rain mist, she saw the underworld in front of her, still lined with neat farmland and verdant mountains looming in the rain and mist.

As for the direction of Zhu Hai's finger, that is, in the rain and mist a hundred zhang away in front of them, there were rows of sergeants standing in the middle of the underworld, blocking their way.

In the rain and fog, there was some distance between them, and they couldn't see the faces of these sergeants clearly. I couldn't see clearly whether the military flag standing behind them was the flower flag of the other side of the Nine Shadows Country.

The southern region of Dongyingzhou has been firmly controlled by the Nine Shadows Kingdom, and there is the support of the Rakshasa ghost people, so that this place can quickly stabilize, but after all, it is a newly opened territory, not to mention that there are always unstable factors, and there are strong enemies around, such as a turbulent dark tide under the stability.

The goddess who commanded the troops became nervous, she couldn't see the appearance of the sergeant in front of her, and she didn't dare to make a rash conclusion, but she raised her right hand to the sergeant behind her and made a vigilant gesture.

The military orders were passed down layer by layer, and before they had even gone out of the ten zhang, they spread to every ghost soldier in this army.

This kind of veteran experience is something that young players don't necessarily have. It is also one of the reasons why Xiao Shizhu asked Gu to shoot the goddess as a commander.

The soldiers behind them became vigilant, and most of them took the rainstorm guns off their backs and held them tightly in their hands, ready to attack quickly at any time.

And always be on the lookout for the surroundings around them, as well as behind them.

So as not to be made dumplings.

The army did not stop and continued to move forward. They quickly rushed to the front, crossing in front of the army on the underworld.

At this time, in the rain and fog, the goddess of Gu saw clearly the appearance of the leader of the ghost soldiers who blocked their way.

It was an alternative Rakshasa male ghost, with a rabbit head but a burly and sturdy human soul body, but in addition to the hands and human souls also having five fingers, the legs without boots were covered with long cyan hair. The feet are exactly the same as the rabbit's hind legs.

The rakshasa ghosts are very strange, the female ghosts are as beautiful as the human soul, the male ghosts are not only ugly, but also some are similar to the human soul, except for the body and hands, the others are not the appearance of the beast soul.

And the nearly 100 ghost people behind this Rakshasa ghost general are much more normal compared to them, even if a few of them are demon spirits, they look more normal than the Rakshasa ghost who is the leader.

The goddess of Gu Shooting, who had stopped controlling the beast, took out her token and showed it to the Rakshasa ghost, and at the same time said loudly to the Rakshasa ghost in the wind: "I am the general of the Nine Shadows Kingdom who was ordered to be transferred to the Northland, Gu Shot, dare to ask what part of Your Excellency is?"

Hu Hui beside her had already pressed his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist, and one of Zhu Hai's hands also quietly reached behind his waist and held the handle of the copper hammer.

As for the ghost soldiers they commanded, they were all more vigilant than before.

"General Gu Shot, we are also the ghost generals of the Nine Shadows Country, the county lieutenant in charge of the security and recruitment of troops in this county (the adjutant of the city god of the county in the Nine Shadows Country, in charge of the military. ）。 The Rakshasa ghost also took out his official talisman token, showed it to the goddess of Gu Shooting, and then continued to hold the sign and said: "By the order of the highest military governor of the local area, King Yama, I am waiting for General Gu Jie again, and I am ordered to guide you to the Ten Thousand Evil Mountain." ”。

Gu Arching Goddess looked at it, the official talisman token in the other party's hand was not a counterfeit, the genuine official talisman of the Nine Shadows Kingdom was made of the spark iron that was a specialty in the southern part of Xuanyan Continent.

The jet-black body of the official token is dotted with red spots like stars.

In addition, the entourage of the Gu Shooting Goddess also received news that the King of Yama was going to send a county lieutenant to lead the way and take her and the army she commanded to the area of the Fox Mountain, so the ancient snake goddess also put away a little vigilance, but did not completely eliminate all vigilance.

She nodded in the wind and rain, and then said to the lieutenant of the Rakshasa ghost: "Thank you for your hard work, please open the way ahead." ”。

The Rakshasa ghost nodded in response, put away his official talisman token, and led the nearly 100 guards to turn around and walk in front of the Gu Arch Priestess, leading the Gu Arch Priestess and the 50,000 officers and soldiers behind her to speed through the rain and go north.

At the same time, he sent two fast horses, the first step, to rush to the mountain to inform the local garrison commander Shuyan to go.
