The sound of artillery and fighting, as well as hysterical screams, made the otherwise silent early morning hideous. The hoofs and roars of the beast spirits played the melody of death in the noise.

The artillery outside the pass was still roaring, and this bear-bearing pass, which was solid for cold weapons, became vulnerable under the successive bombardment of flint cannons, and the walls had already become full of holes in the continuous explosions.

The smoke of gunpowder gradually replaced the mist and dispersed in all directions in the pass.

Qixing, who was the first to enter the pass, waved the long knife in his hand and went on a rampage in the pass. The cold light flickered in the smoke and flames, and wherever the strange star went, someone would turn on his horse, and screams would rise under the blood mist.

When he killed in front of a barracks in Guanzhong, a knife fell in his hand, and he cut off a ghost soldier of the Bear Country who had just turned over and climbed onto the beast soul mount, and cut off his head.

His bravery not only inspired the headless ghost soldiers to fight hard, but also terrified the ghost soldiers of the bear country who had always been able to fight well in Fenglin Continent.

In less than half a cup of hot tea, the stumps and flesh of the beast soul could be seen everywhere in the pass, and the surrounding area was filled with rich and pungent blood.

Most of the ghost soldiers of the bear country did not die on the way to kill, but died on the way to escape. They even forgot to resist, and all that was left was panic and fear.

The Qixing, who was constantly rushing and killing in the blood mist, became more and more courageous, and the murderous aura spread across his blood-stained face. He entered the no-man's land in the pass, killing from south to north and from east to west, killing seven or eight back and forth, killing all over the robe, but there was no ghost soldier of the bear country to stop him.

Most of the ghost soldiers of the bear country who ran away were slashed down by him, and most of them were cut off with their helmets and brains. In this way, the ghost soldiers of the bear country are even more jealous of him, and they are afraid to avoid him.

The black* people of the headless ghost country are like a hurricane rolling up on the flat ground, killing and killing in the pass like a mountain and a sea, bringing a burst of thick blood.

On the top of the mountain, Da Hong, who was kneeling on the ground by the headless ghost soldiers, looked at the killing sound under the mountain and the fire soared into the sky, silently shed tears, moved his eyes to the flint cannons at the bottom of the mountain, and secretly wondered: "Where did the headless ghost country get the firearms?" ......

The coolness of the seat was blowing in Juxing County with the morning breeze.

Xiao Shizhu's guard of honor and the forbidden army surrounded the gods, and silently walked westward on the official road paved with morning dew.

Xiao Shizhu stood behind the window of the guest room in the shrine, opened the window full of exquisite carvings, and looked out at the scenery outside the shrine.

A fiery red came into Xiao Shizhu's eyes, and on the side of the official road outside the gods, those maple trees with red leaves swayed with the cool morning breeze under the sky dyed red by the morning sun. The sound of the wind between the maples is that the branches are swinging in the wind, making a sound of harp.

Occasionally, you can see a few periwinkle trees that have white flowers, but because it is late autumn, most of the white flowers on the branches have withered and withered.

The blood-red cloudy sun is still beautiful in the thin clouds, and the light of the cloudy sun, full of softness and warmth, shines through the clouds and shines in front of the windowsill, bringing Xiao Shizhu infinite comfort that has not been seen for a long time.

You must know that in the Yuque Palace, which is located at the bottom of the sinkhole, it is impossible to get the sun so early. Although the ghosts of the underworld do not like to bask in the sun very much, after all, even on a cloudy day, the instinct of being a ghost makes them reject the light of the cloudy day, so they prefer to bask in the light of the moon.

But Xiao Shizhu is different from ordinary ghosts, he still likes to bask in the sun after coming to the underworld for so many years. The bright and cloudy light always makes him feel comfortable.

"Spring cold. After enjoying the comfort for a long time, Xiao Shizhu suddenly called out to a horned beast riding a deer-like beast with a horn on its nose, followed by the spring cold of the gods.

Hearing this, Chun Han slowed down the pace of the horned beast, and soon after being in parallel with Xiao Shizhu standing in the middle of the gods, he turned his head to look at Xiao Shizhu, and asked respectfully, "My lord, what do you command?"

"How long will it take for us to get to Moth Valley?" Xiao Shizhu asked slowly.

"It will be an hour at most. Chunhan looked around at the scenery and estimated the approximate distance.

"Did that sentence send Xingtian to Moth Valley?" and then Xiao Shizhu asked again.

"It was already delivered last night, and Lord Jumang sent a flying car to take him to Moth Valley, so the speed is relatively fast. Chun Han nodded his head and replied slowly.

Long before Xiao Shizhu went on patrol, a new Flying Department was set up in the Ordnance Supervision Center, which was specially used to build flying cars and minecars and study how to combine flying cars with Guanyuecha.

To this day, all counties and armies in the Nine Shadows Kingdom have been equipped with flying cars. In each of the border counties, a speeding brigade has also been formed in each army, which has not only improved the combat effectiveness of each army, but also strengthened their mobility.

Therefore, although Heilong County is far away from Moth Valley, with a flying car, Xingtian can be sent to Moth Valley in two or three days.

And Xiao Shizhu will meet Xingtian for the first time there.

After Xiao Shizhu heard this, he nodded and waved his hand, and after signaling Chun Han to go busy with her affairs, he continued to bask in the sun on the windowsill, and his face gradually spread with comfort again.

An hour later, his luan arrived on time to the west of Moth Valley. The local battalion commander Kestrel had already stood outside the pass with all the chief flag officers in the pass two quarters of an hour ago, waiting for Xiao Shizhu's arrival.

Standing in front of the chief flag officers, the young man's eyes were as red as flames, and the soul of the young man wearing mountain armor was a kestrel. His red eyes weren't because of anything remarkable about his eyes, but because he was blind in front of him. After the death of this type of human soul, although the eyes are rediscovered, the pupils have become crimson.

Kestrel is also Xiao Shizhu's old subordinate, as early as Xiao Shizhu's expedition to the west of Heilong County, he joined the Xiao family's army.

Later, with Xiao Shizhu's southern expedition to Zhu Dan, he moved to the five counties of the Communist Labor State. By the time the loess was arranged by Xiao Shizhu to Juxing County and guard the Moth Valley, he was already the chief flag officer.

Later, Loess led the army to the west, and Kestrel was left to guard the pass, and by the way, he was promoted to become a battalion general.

Since then, the kestrel has been stationed in Moth Valley, and when guarding the pass, it has been practicing by the way.

Today, he said that his old boss, the current lord, was going to come to Moth Valley to inspect, but the kestrel was very happy. Standing in front of the chief flag officers, he looked ahead with joy on his face, and when he saw Xiao Shizhu's honor guard appear at the end of his sight, the joy in the kestrel eyebrows and eyes was even greater, mixed with a little excitement.

After Luan drove to a stop in front of the pass, Xiao Shizhu didn't wait for his subordinates to set up a wooden ladder, he jumped down from the shrine, strode towards the kestrel with a smile on his face, and kept shouting: "Kestrel you kid hasn't fought anymore these years, and the whole ghost has gained a lot of weight." ”。

As he spoke, he walked up to the kestrel, took the kestrel's hand, and said excitedly: "We haven't seen each other for many years, you and I must drink tonight without getting drunk and not returning." ”。

"Report to the lord, the military regulations you signed yourself when the Xiao family army was established, the sergeant on duty was not allowed to drink. The kestrel immediately stood upright, and after a flash of regret in his eyes, he replied loudly: "So I'm afraid I won't be able to get drunk tonight." ”。

Xiao Shizhu not only did not feel sorry when he heard this, but he was even more happy, and nodded after a smile: "I am relieved to hand over such an important place as Moth Valley to you." ”。

As she spoke, the ghost mother also walked down the shrine, and after standing beside Xiao Shizhu, she raised her eyes to look at the pass in front of her, which was sandwiched between the craggy rocks, and the gatehouse stood tall and flint, and the barracks and towers were built along the cliffs on the north and south sides of the pass, forming an open cloth bag shape for the pass.

Heavily armed sentinels can be seen all over the pass, standing guard intently. A patrol team with firearms on their backs was patrolling back and forth in the pass.

In terms of military appearance and quality, it is no worse than the forbidden army in Yuque City.

See Mother of the Nation. The kestrel and the chief flag officer hurriedly put on their robes and bowed slowly to the ghost mother.

"Where is Xingtian? I want to see him first. Then Xiao Shizhu said to the kestrels.

"Please come with me, I've put him in the pass. Saying that, the kestrel took Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother and walked towards the pass.

He arranged Xiao Shizhu and them to be on the stage on the edge of the school field in Guanguanli, and then turned around and went to invite Xingtian.

This Jiangtai is still loess when it was held here, and the square platform of the brick and wood structure is three zhang high, and you can overlook the entire school field when you stand on it.

In the middle of the platform, there is also a wooden wedge shelf, the top is green glazed tiles, and the four corners of the house are warped. This is the place where the guards and soldiers deliberate.

After Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother walked around the house and outside, they returned to the house and sat down in the depths of the long case, gradually waiting for the kestrel to bring Xingtian.

Chun Han and Qing Lan each led a team of forbidden troops and stood left and right in front of the long case.

After a while, Kestrel came to the lobby of the stage with Xingtian, who was dressed in a clean robe and a brand new armor.

As soon as he entered the room, Xing Tian immediately felt the powerful ghost aura that seemed to be emanating from Xiao Shizhu, who seemed to be weak and unable to help the wind, sitting in the depths of this hall.

That power seems to be combined with the qi of all things in heaven and earth, and it is as if all things in heaven and earth are born from it, full of vigorous vitality, so powerful and mysterious.

Xing Tian's heart froze, and a trace of astonishment flashed on his face. Such a powerful ghost aura is on par with the ghost aura of Emperor Xudu.

Xing Tian only fully believed the rumors in the past, the rumors that Xiao Shizhu was the son of God.

Xiao Shizhu looked Xingtian up and down for a while, he was curious about this headless ghost called the God of War of Fenglin Continent, and he must take a good look when he sees his true face today.

Xing Tian followed the kestrel to stand in front of the long case, and was about to bend his knees and kneel, but the kestrel next to him hurriedly dragged his arm, stopped him from kneeling, and whispered to him: "Headless Ghost King, didn't I tell you, we don't kneel in the Nine Shadows Kingdom." ”。

Although it was very quiet, Xiao Shizhu listened to it sincerely, and then nodded with a smile, and said lightly: "The headless ghost king doesn't have to be so polite, not to mention that you and I are both ghosts, there is no distinction between high and low, and there is no need to kneel around." ”。

Xingtian, who was stunned, showed a stunned gaze in his eyes on his chest, and the mouth growing out of his abdomen couldn't be closed for a long time.

The highs and lows and kneeling that have been produced under the hierarchical system of the underworld for thousands of years have actually been eliminated by Xiao Shizhu. Although it was only in his Nine Shadows Kingdom, it still surprised Xingtian, and his admiration for Xiao Shizhu was a little heavier.

Then Xiao Shizhu gave Kestrel another look and asked him to ask Xingtian to sit down.

After everything was ready, Xiao Shizhu said straight to the point: "Headless Ghost King, even if you live in our country, you will definitely not be able to treat you with food and drink." ”。

"I believe that the Nine Shadows King will indeed not treat me badly. Xingtian, who was sitting on the left side of him, smiled lightly and said, "But I still have a reluctant request, ask the King of Nine Shadows to lend me some soldiers and horses, so that I can recover the lost territory and help Ma Shouguo repel the army of the bear country." ”。

After finishing speaking, Xing Tian stood up, bent down and bowed slowly to Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother.

"The Headless Ghost King really doesn't need to be polite, I also want to help you, but at present, my country has no troops to adjust, can you give me some time to prepare first." Xiao Shizhu was a little embarrassed, and said slowly: "Although I can't lend you troops for a while, I can provide Ma Shouguo with a lot of weapons first." ”。
