"Could it be a trap? deliberately guide us to all the grass and trees?" Lu Wu, who also read the contents of the letter on the side, said thoughtfully: "He is also an ink master, how can he give us a message?"

Xiao Shizhu was also a little unsure, and lowered his head in contemplation.

Lu Wu is not unreasonable, Lin Cong is indeed an ink man. According to common sense, it is impossible to pass on a book to them. But judging from the various actions of the Mo family now, after he repeatedly sabotaged the other party's grand cause, the other party has indeed regarded him as a thorn in the flesh.

And Lin Cong is an ink man, and he can't believe all his words.

After thinking about it for a long time, Xiao Shizhu, who was ugly, still couldn't tell the truth from the fake, so he had to say: "It's better to believe it than to believe it, we have to prepare early." ”。

After thinking about it for a while, Lu Wu felt that it was feasible, and he also nodded and said, "It's okay, if it's true, we won't be at a loss when the incident happens." ”。

"Well, even if it's fake, it doesn't hurt us. Xiao Shizhu nodded his head and said, "It's just that don't make a noise in advance, you should pay close attention to the training of soldiers, especially the feather people and monkey demons, as well as the newly recruited two thousand new troops." The previous reward and punishment training system should be continued. In addition, I will also come with the ghost mother to bring Li Hao, Li Chai and Yang Fengfeng, and let them lead the two thousand new army. As secret envoys, they are not weak in combat skills. ”。

"Okay. Lu Wu nodded in response.

At this moment, a soldier shouted "Report!" and ran in, knelt down in front of Xiao Shizhu, and said, "General, there is a woman surnamed Lai outside the gate, saying that she has something important to ask for." ”。

"Exactly. Xiao Shizhu's face was happy when he heard this, he swept away his suspicions after reading the letter before, stood up with a slight smile, strode out of the tent, and said, "I'll go see her." ”。

When he came to the gate with King Kong, he saw that the guards stopped Lai Yuejing, who had changed into women's clothes and makeup.

"Don't be nervous, this is my guest. Xiao Shizhu signaled the guards to calm down for a while, then walked to Lai Yue and stood still, and asked with great interest, "Have you figured it out?"

Lai Yue raised her head slightly and said, "I'm just here to see if you have any real skills." ”。 In fact, there is a way to survive, and no one wants to be a black marketeer or a pirate. For example, Wu Zhiqi, such as the current Lai Yuejing.

If Xiao Shizhu can give her a righteous and bright job, what if the ghost is willing to be a fool on the black market all day long?

"Well, I'll take you to the ghost mother right now. With that, Xiao Shizhu strode forward. Lai Yue was shocked to see that those guards saluted him one after another, and also dispelled the last trace of doubt in his heart, and hurriedly chased after him.

After arriving at the Ghost Mother Palace, Xiao Shizhu and Lai Yuejing stood still in front of the palace gate in the inner court. After explaining his intentions, he stood quietly and waited for the guards to return.

After a while, the guard who reported the news turned back and saluted Xiao Shizhu: "General Xiao, my lord invites you to enter the inner court to speak." ”。

"Good work. Xiao Shizhu said, took out a tael of silver and stuffed it into the guard's hand, and asked King Kong to go to Tiangu Garden to find Li Hao and them to play, and he took Lai Yue to the inner court.

When she came to the Vientiane Palace, Lai Yuejing was full of curiosity and joy like a child, she looked left and right with an excited face, and opened her mouth wide and couldn't speak for a long time.

After she had seen enough of these magnificent decorations, she saw the ghost mother sitting on it, and suddenly felt that her performance was a little out of shape before, so she hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, and said with sincere fear: "Lai Yueqi, the daughter of the people, meet my lord and ghost mother." ”。

"Lai Yueqi, aren't you called Lai Yueqi?" Xiao Shizhu, who was standing directly beside her, looked at her with a stunned gaze, and suddenly realized after a while: "Oh, your name tells me that it's fake, it's not kind." ”。

"Get up. The ghost mother looked at Lai Yueqi and smiled, and brushed her sleeves. The tone was flat, and she seemed more friendly, which dispelled a lot of tension in Lai Yueqi's heart.

After Lai Yueqi stood up, Xiao Shizhu explained her situation to the ghost mother in detail, and said, "Sister ghost mother, this is a treasure." Compared to the scrap made from the waste wood in your armory, the things she makes are high-quality. ”。 As he spoke, he took out a beaded gun from his bosom, stepped forward, and handed it to the ghost mother with both hands.

After the ghost mother took it and looked at it carefully, it was indeed exquisitely made as Xiao Shizhu said, and after each part was perfect, she looked at Lai Yueqi, who was still a little nervous, lowered her head and didn't even know where to put her hand, and asked slowly: "Raise your head Lai Yueqi, is this really what you did?"

"Yes. Lai Yueqi replied softly, raised her head slightly, but never dared to look directly into the eyes of the ghost mother.

"Okay, heroes don't ask about their background, as long as you don't do illegal things in the future, I can see General Xiao's face and give you a position - the head of the ordnance supervisor. After the ghost mother returned the Lianzhu gun to Xiao Shizhu, she got up and walked to Lai Yueqi's side, carefully looked at the other party's face, and said, "And the craftsmen under your command can all enter the ordnance prison to work and eat money." But there is only one thing, you will have nothing to do with the black market in the future, would you like to?".

Hearing this, Lai Yueqi raised her head a little, looked at the ghost mother and blinked and asked, "Really?" The eyes are full of longing and incredulity, intertwined.

"Haven't you heard Jun Wu's jokes?" the ghost mother smiled indifferently and said, "As the lord of the country, how can this king deceive you." ”。 As soon as the words fell, Lai Yueqi knelt down again, kowtowed to her and said, "Thank you to my lord, thank you to my lord." ”。

"Tatsuruo. The ghost mother turned her head to look at Chen Ruo and said, "You take Lai Yueqi to eat something, and then arrange for her to rest in the palace tonight, and take her to the ministry tomorrow morning to report." ”。

After Chen Ruo answered, the ghost mother said again: "Go, I have something to talk to General Xiao." ”。 When Chen Ruo heard this, he quietly squeezed his eyebrows at the ghost mother, and then showed a smile of "I understand".

Then he walked off the stage, picked up Lai Yueqi, who was still kneeling on the ground, and took her out of the hall.

In the huge hall, only the ghost mother and Xiao Shizhu were left, and the ghost mother sat back on her throne.

"So whether it's talent or ghost talent, there is never a shortage. What is lacking is only the people or ghosts who find them. Looking at the direction they left, Xiao Shizhu sighed, then turned his head to look at the ghost mother who was leaning on the throne, looking at him with her cheeks and looking at him with her cheeks, and was slightly stunned, then stretched out her hand to wipe her cheeks and asked, "Is there any rice left on my handsome face?"

"Huh?" The ghost mother was also stunned, then glanced at him after relieving herself, and quickly lowered her head slightly, and said, "What about a handsome face? Such a shameless boast, only you can say it without hesitation." ”。 After saying that, he sneered.

"Isn't that handsome, what's it?" Xiao Shizhu replied with a smile, then took out the letter that Lin Cong gave him from his sleeve, handed it to the ghost mother, and said, "Oh yes, I received this just now." ”。

The ghost mother hurriedly collected her heart, took the letter and unfolded it, and asked with a puzzled face: "Who is this from the water?"

Xiao Shizhu explained to her, and told Lin Cong's story to the ghost mother. But he never dared to say that he wanted to eat a ghost.

"Well, it's really hard to know if what he's saying is true. After pondering for a moment, the ghost mother handed him the letter and asked, "What are your plans?"

"Actually, it's nothing, I'm going to believe it first, and prepare for defense. Xiao Shizhu also put away his smile, and said with a serious face: "In case it is true, we should be prepared, so as not to be caught off guard by the other party." ”。

"But I think it's better to keep this thing quiet. After Xiao Shizhu thought for a while, he said: "After all, the letter also mentioned that there is a traitor by your side. So you'll have to secretly move your troops and strengthen your homeland. In addition, no one is allowed to know about the transfer of troops except you and me. Nor do you go through the hand of any minister, you can move it yourself. ”。

"In addition, on the grounds of training to strengthen the country, we will speed up the daily training of various armies and the deployment of firearms. The finances contributed by Wu Zhiqi can be used here. Then, Xiao Shizhu added.

"Are you ready?" asked the ghost mother with a slight bow, a hint of satisfaction between her eyebrows.

"Yes. Xiao Shizhu nodded his head and said solemnly: "There is another thing, the border guards will complete the change of guard in the near future, so that the enemy will press the traitors around us, and they will not be able to send out the deployment intelligence." And those crystal prisms that I invented allowed craftsmen to secretly start mass production. It is used as a defensive facility on the rock pillars around Shuoyue Island. When the enemy strikes, they can catch us off guard. ”。

"The shortest of those pillars are tens of feet, and they are very dense. I've calculated that there are no cannons in the underworld for the time being, and if you can be in the pillar forest, you can still hit the top of any rock pillar. If we place a crystal prism on the pillar, the enemy ships won't want to enter during the day. As long as we don't place it too far away, the enemy won't be able to help us. When he finished speaking, he saw the ghost mother looking at him again, and her eyes were full of admiration.

"Haha, don't envy my brother. Xiao Shizhu laughed out loud when he saw this, and said, "Brother just has nine years of compulsory education more than you." ”。

"What education?" asked the ghost mother with a curious wink at him.

"It's going to school. After Xiao Shizhu replied lightly, he scratched his head and said: "By the way, Lai Yueqi went to the Ordnance Prison, and in the future, my Xiao family army will buy any weapons with you." In this way, almost all the income from alabaster can flow into your treasury. ”。

"Hmm. The ghost mother nodded her head and laughed: "I want to sell it at the original price, don't you worry about the money when the time comes?"

"Don't feel distressed. Xiao Shizhu waved his hand without hesitation and said, "What is mine is yours, and what is yours is still yours." ”。 The ghost mother suddenly looked shy, and lowered her head slightly again.

Because of the nervousness, she didn't dare to look at Xiao Shizhu, but she always wanted to look up at each other, her heart was very conflicted, although she wanted to try to keep calm, but she kept asking herself in her heart: "What should I do?

Her very lovely Feixia cheeks, as well as her delicate and shy appearance full of amorous feelings, made her graceful temperament vividly reflected from her at this moment; So he swallowed his saliva, strengthened his courage, leaned down, and held the other man's cheek while he was unprepared. The panicked ghost mother raised her head, just in time to meet Xiao Shizhu's hot gaze, her eyes looked down, and she saw Xiao Shizhu staring at her big eyes with anticipation for a second, and kissed her lips on her mouth without hesitation.

Before the ghost mother could react, she didn't have time to struggle or question him what he was going to do, she was already kissed. Half-pushed and half-struggled slightly, and also put his arms around Xiao Shizhu's neck.

At this moment, in an instant, ten thousand years, everything around, including time, seemed to be forbidden in the eyes of the ghost mother. After a long time, Xiao Shizhu's lips left her cherry mouth, and time moved again. It's just that the ghost mother didn't come to her senses for a long time, and looked at Xiao Shizhu who wiped her mouth with her sleeve in a daze, her cheeks were red and hot.

"I love you to death. I met you very late, but I only love you for the rest of my life!" Xiao Shizhu turned around and left after leaving such a sentence before she could recover her senses. These words echoed in the ghost mother's ears for a long time like an aftersound, making the shyness on her face become heavier and heavier, and her heartbeat continued to accelerate, unable to calm down for a long time, making her feel a little hypoxic, but so sweet.

After Xiao Shizhu had left for a long time, she covered her face and shook her head and sneered while recalling the words left by Xiao Shizhu.
