He couldn't hold back this heartbeat, and at the same time made a gaffe move. Not only did he raise his head and admire his master brightly, but he didn't even notice a trace of saliva slowly flowing from the corner of his mouth.

All this was seen by the ghost mother in the eyes of the eye.

After a while, she also turned her head to look at Xiao Shizhu, smiled when she looked at each other, and said softly: "That little ghost, what is your name?"

"Xiao Shizhu. As soon as Xiao Shizhu spoke, more saliva flowed out at once, making the maids around the ghost mother sneer.

He hurriedly reached out and wiped his mouth with his sleeve.

Seeing this, the ghost mother put away the umbrella in her hand and handed it to the maidservant girl beside her, and slowly got off the phoenix chariot and walked towards Xiao Shizhu. Then he stood still in front of the other party, looked at Xiao Shizhu's face with interest for a long time, and then took out an embroidered handkerchief from his sleeve.

Although the other ghost slaves all lowered their heads, they couldn't help but be curious, and their eyes couldn't help but look at Xiao Shizhu's side, while the ghost slaves who were wearing the same clothes as the eunuchs still snickered in their hearts: "This kid has eaten the gall of a bear's heart and a leopard, and dares to look directly at my master, this time he will die." ”。

Unexpectedly, the next second later, the ghost mother made a move that surprised and stunned all the ghosts. She leaned down and patiently wiped the saliva from the corners of Xiao Shizhu's mouth with the embroidered handkerchief in her hand, and asked very gently: "Do you think I am beautiful?" After speaking, he winked at Xiao Shizhu and sent Qiubo.

"Beautiful. Xiao Shizhu said, his eyes straightened, and his gaze moved from the ghost mother's face to her chest.

The ghost mother smiled again and straightened up. He asked the old eunuch, "Ah Fu, how many tengu are there in the palace?"

"Reply to the words of my Lord. The elder eunuch named Ah Fu lowered his head much lower when he heard this, and then returned respectfully: "Seventy-two for the outer court and thirty-six for the inner court, a total of one hundred and eight tengus." ”。

"Well, he's going to be a dog warden. Hearing this, the ghost mother raised her forehead slightly, pointed at Xiao Shizhu, and said unhurriedly: "In the future, all the tengu's shit will be dealt with by this little ghost." ”。 As he spoke, he turned around and sat back on the phoenix chariot again.

"Huh?" Before Xiao Shizhu could come to his senses, the ghost mother threw a sentence to Ah Fu: "The other ghost slaves are arranged by you." After that, he slowly left.

The other few new ghost slaves turned their heads to look at Xiao Shizhu, wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh, so they had to hold back, no matter what, they didn't dare to laugh out loud, and their mouths sounded like they were farting.

Looking at the back of the ghost mother gradually moving away, Xiao Shizhu, who had already reacted to the ghost mother's smile and hiding the knife in his smile, shouted angrily at his back: "Everyone has a love for beauty, what's wrong with seeing you a few times?

It's not that he doesn't know how to see people, talk about people, talk nonsense, or become stupid, let alone save face. It was only a small part of the plan that was suddenly revised, and it was not polite to yell.

According to his original plan, Ying recruited them to contact the people outside the palace, make good connections in his name, and recruit loyal staff for him after winning the hearts of the people. And he pretended that no matter what happened, he didn't know anything, and continued to be his ghost slave; after sacrificing himself to enter the palace to get close to the people around the ghost mother, he had a good relationship with these high-ranking officials of the ghost mother country to promote feelings, and then found an official and a half-job, and then approached the ghost mother little by little, and at the same time got the other party's protection.

But he didn't expect the ghost mother to be really good-looking, not to mention the long legs, the facial features on the face are so delicate and beautiful, and every inch of the body is pure and natural, without any processing.

When he first saw the ghost mother, he was already smitten. In line with the principle that there are girls who don't bubble and go against the grain, Xiao Shizhu decided that he would not only get close to the ghost mother, but also hook up with the ghost mother.

After all, if the ghost mother becomes her mother-in-law in the underworld, if King Qin Guang has trouble with him one day in the future, will this ghost mother give up her life to save her husband?

So although he made a gaffe, it was involuntary, but the words he yelled at later were his intention to let the ghost mother notice his actions.

But the old ghost is the old ghost, although the ghost mother heard his words, she turned a deaf ear to it, and she didn't even have the mood to look back at him. This is something that Xiao Shizhu didn't expect.

After the figure of the ghost mother disappeared from everyone's sight, the other ghost slaves finally burst out laughing.

"Do I have a joke on my face?" Xiao Shizhu looked at the appearance of their laughing people turning over on their backs, and scolded with a straight face: "Laughing fart, why didn't you force you out of internal injuries just now?"

"Brother, don't bother. Ming Yichen, who was kneeling beside him, raised his orchid finger again and smiled at him: "Your move, you don't want to be my lord's male pet, right? You, die of this heart. ”。 After saying that, he raised his head and laughed. As soon as these words came out, the other ghost slaves laughed even more happily, leaning down and pounding the ground with their hands.

Xiao Shizhu was not annoyed or angry, but pondered. Ming Yichen's words reminded him, why isn't a male pet a shortcut to be blessed?

For people like Xiao Shizhu, who have died of comminuted fractures and have few people left, they don't care if this kind of thing is shameful or not. What's more, he is unmarried, the ghost mother is unmarried, and the love of men and women does not hinder anyone.

So he slowly stood up, straightened his back to Ming Yichen, raised the thumb of his right hand and pointed at his chest, tilted his head and said proudly: "Sister Ghost Mother, Lao Tzu is still soaked." ”。

"My lord, and you can call your sister? And you can climb high? Who are you Lao Tzu?" As soon as the words fell, Ah Fu strode over, stretched out his hand and twisted his ear, and scolded angrily: "Go, uncle, now take you, an inferior ghost slave, to where you should go! Let you wake up and wake up, and you will have less daydreaming in the future." ”。 Without waiting for Xiao Shizhu to shout the word "pain", he twisted his ears and walked towards the west of the square.

The loud laughter rang out again, echoing over the Ghost Mother Palace for a long time.

Ah Fu took him to a courtyard on the edge of the Ghost Mother Palace. This courtyard covers an area of about five acres, the courtyard is overgrown with weeds, there is a well under the crooked neck tree in the southeast corner, not far from the well, there are a lot of dung buckets next to the wall.

In the depths of the courtyard opposite the gate there was a large house five rooms wide and two rooms deep, and there was nothing else in the courtyard. Then there were bursts of barking dogs from the depths of the courtyard. Unlike the barking of dogs in the world, the barking of dogs here is more like "grenades"

Xiao Shizhu followed Ah Fu to the front of the house, and after opening the door, there was a unique stench of the barn.

He stood outside the door and looked into the house, and saw that the room was full of large iron cages, and in each cage was a beast about the size of a wolf dog, with a white head like a raccoon dog.

These tengu barked at him in unison, and before Xiao Shizhu could take a closer look, Ah Fu had already pushed him into the house.

He looked left and right for a long time, and found that the room was crowded because of the messy arrangement of iron cages. There are brooms and dustpans behind the doors, and there are many collars and chains hanging on the walls. In the deepest part of the room was a small broken bed and a table and chair with a worn bedding and a pen and ink and something like an account book on the table.

The dust on the ground, the cobweb-covered roof, the tattered window paper, the wind through the tattered window paper. Seeing everything, Xiao Shizhu couldn't help frowning.

"Your place to stay. Ah Fu, who looked arrogant, said to Xiao Shizhu, who was still a little stunned: "The forbidden army in the palace will come to borrow dogs to patrol every day, register them, and then clean the kennel and distribute food to them. During the day, they are put in the courtyard to have fun, and in the evening they are put back in cages. ”。 With that, he turned and left.

"Hey, no, can this place be inhabited?" Xiao Shizhu asked urgently.

"You dog, what do you want to live with if you don't live with a dog?" Ah Fu, who walked to the door, scolded, then spat on the ground fiercely, snorted and threw the keys to the courtyard door and house door behind him, and brushed his sleeves away.

After picking up the key, Xiao Shizhu looked at Ah Fu's departing back, gritted his teeth, and scolded in his heart: "Let's see, who is the dog thing!" Then pick up a broom and start cleaning where you are going to live in the future.

It's strange to say, when he was a man in the world, Xiao Shizhu was very popular with stray cats and dogs, and he had never been bitten and scratched by these animals. Now in the underworld, it is still the same. In addition to barking a few times just now, after Ah Fu left, they quieted down, lying in the cage and quietly watching Xiao Shizhu clean. This convinced Xiao Shizhu that Ah Fu must be a ghost that even dogs hate. Thinking of this, a lot of anger in his heart turned into happiness.

After finally sweeping the house, it was already sunset. Xiao Shizhu, who was hungry and a little sore and grief-stricken, sat on the chair and looked at those tengu in a daze.

At this moment, the gate of the courtyard was opened from the outside, and several soldiers of the forbidden army guarding the ghost mother country walked in carrying buckets of things of unknown nature. They came to the door and stood still, put the bucket on the ground, and then left without saying a word.

Xiao Shizhu got up, walked to the buckets and looked at them, and swallowed saliva in his mouth.

Those buckets were full of leftovers, it seemed that they were for the tengus, but despite this, Xiao Shizhu, who was hungry with his chest against his back, still stuck out his tongue and licked the corners of his mouth. And the tengu smelled the smell of the food and barked again.

After a while, Xiao Shizhu sighed, got up and went to the wall behind the door to get a wooden spoon, lifted a wooden barrel, and said weakly to those tengus: "Don't make noise, no one is indispensable, and I won't give you anything to eat if I quarrel again." You are noble tengu, you have to have rules, you don't eat and don't sleep, you know?" and then put a big spoonful of dog food in their bowls.

After everything was done, looking at the tengu who were eating happily, Xiao Shizhu, who was tired and hungry, sat back on the chair again, and suddenly felt the urge to lick those dog food buckets in his heart for some reason. But in the end, after some ideological struggle, he shook his head desperately and held back. With a sigh, he leaned down and rested his chin on the table, with only one word in his mind—hunger.

At this moment, the chair under his buttocks may have suddenly fallen apart due to old reasons. Caught off guard, Xiao Shizhu suddenly fell to the ground.

Suddenly he gasped in pain, rubbed his tailbone and chirped. When I fell down just now, my chin was still knocked on the table, and now the more I inhale, the more my jaw hurts.

This is a sad day after Xiao Shizhu came to the underworld. Fortunately, the sawdust scattered all over the ground did not hit him, which can be regarded as a blessing.

He landed on the ground with his hands and slowly got up. Then he slowly turned around with the pain in his butt and back pain, looked at the sawdust behind him, shook his head and sighed.

Suddenly, sharp-eyed, he saw a square metal object under the sawdust, and the exposed corner glittered in the light of the oil lamp on the table behind him.

"What is this?" Driven by curiosity, he slowly bent down, picked up the sawdust and picked up the metal object that was pressed underneath and held it in his hand to look at it.

I saw that this thing was a foot and a half long and half a foot wide, and its whole body was yellow, as if it were made of gold. In appearance, this looks like a waist tag or something.

Xiao Shizhu looked left and right again, and saw that the edge of the brand was engraved with auspicious cloud patterns. On one side is engraved the word "Secret Envoy" in the center, and on the other side is engraved a bronze bell pattern wrapped in flames.
