[195] Gratitude
If you guessed correctly, Changshan should have secretly taken refuge in Emperor Xudu and made a secret agent for him, so his untimely disrespect just now was to set Xiao Shizhu and test Xiao Shizhu's loyalty for Emperor Xudu.
In the face of such a problem, if Xiao Shizhu dares to be excited, even if it is just a few words of scolding, it will not be long before these complaints will be infinitely exaggerated, and then reach the ears of Emperor Xudu. Xiao Shizhu and his Nine Shadows Kingdom, don't think about having a good life anymore.
After thinking about it for a while, Xiao Shizhu felt that he had to pretend that he was not interested in it, and then tactfully expressed his loyalty to Emperor Xudu by knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger.
After making up his mind, Xiao Shizhu was about to open his mouth and suddenly thought, why not tease this long mountain before knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger.
So with a hint of anticipation, he turned around, looked at Changshan with expectant eyes, looked at him, and asked with interest: "Oh, is it?"
Seeing that he seemed to be very interested in this, Changshan was overjoyed, nodded without thinking about it and said bluntly: "Of course, it's true. ”。
"That's our business. Xiao Shizhu immediately put away his anticipation when he heard this, smiled indifferently, and said, "I'm sorry to disappoint you, I'm not interested in the matter between the ancient gods." ”。
As soon as these words came out, the smile on Changshan's face froze immediately, and after gradually sinking his face, he stopped talking.
"You have all remembered for me that the affairs of the Old Gods have nothing to do with us. Xiao Shizhu put the accompanying ghosts one by one with his hand, and said solemnly: "If anyone mentions the affairs of the ancient gods again and discusses their rights and wrongs, I will condemn him to the crime of meddling when he is full of food and support." Let him eat five catties of steamed buns and five catties of noodles every day, as well as three catties of beef and three catties of rice, and eat until he dies!"
The three or two sentences not only inadvertently showed his loyalty to the Emperor Xudu, but also made everyone in front of him sigh and dare not use this kind of thing to test his loyalty to the Xudu regime.
"No. After the ghosts hurriedly responded, they took it to heart, and although Changshan was unhappy, he listened to Xiao Shizhu's hand at this time, so he had to follow them down.
Many ministers of the Communist Labor State have begun to look at Xiao Shizhu a little differently.
Among them is the saint Yingying, who is the only ghost among the ghosts other than Xiao Shizhu who can see the malice of Changshan. I wanted to see Xiao Shizhu unlucky, but I didn't want to be so perfectly handled by this little ghost in a few words, Ying Ying was a little curious about Xiao Shizhu again in her heart.
"Good. Xiao Shizhu nodded with satisfaction, and immediately reversed his previous seriousness, and said with a smile: "The environment here is not bad, there are mountains and rivers, I plan to move the capital here." ”。
"Don't be stunned. After finishing speaking, he walked to Julong and stood still, put his arm around the other party's shoulder, and said, "You are familiar with everything in this palace, you have to take me to visit the seven and six scenes." ”。
"Please follow me. Julong said, and took Xiao Shizhu forward.
The ghosts followed Xiao Shizhu and Julong, and after walking around this huge palace, they finally came to the front of Yushu.
Looking at the jade tree in front of him, Xiao Shizhu couldn't help but be amazed. The strange thing is not only that this tree is all carved from jade, but also that it is wonderful in its workmanship.
After admiring it for a while, Xiao Shizhu looked for a hand on the ghost captive and said, "Go find a few tents, and I'll sleep under this jade tree tonight." ”。
"The Nine Shadows King. Without waiting for the ghost to respond, Ju Long asked in confusion: "My father has moved out of the palace, from now on, you can use any hall and objects in this palace at will, why sleep under this tree?"
"Let your father come back, I can't live in so many houses, I can give him a few to live in. Xiao Shizhu was slightly stunned, the matter of moving out was a bit sudden, and after thinking for a moment, he said slowly: "I'm not here to kill them all. ”。
"Yes, I know. Julong said a little embarrassed: "But my father insisted on this, and asked the King of Nine Shadows to allow him." He was so disappointed today that he couldn't face the things he was proud of. ”。 The more he spoke, the quieter he became, until in the end it sounded like an ant-mosquito.
The sudden blow of the country is enough to make the co-workers crazy, and if he is not allowed to do what he wants, he will really go crazy.
Therefore, Xiao Shizhu expressed his understanding and nodded to Julong: "Okay, but when he wants to figure out that he wants to come back to live, I can still give him a few rooms." ”
"Thank you King Jiuyou, by the way, this is the inventory of items in the palace, as well as the city defense map, the inventory of the granary of Yuque City, and the list of ministers and generals. Julong waved his hand behind him, and two palace slaves walked forward with a thick pile of thread-bound books.
"The roster of palace attendants, the roster of palace maids and palace slaves. After pointing to those booklets, he continued to say to Xiao Shizhu: "There are also household registration books and tax lists of the people in all counties of the Gonggong Country, please take a look at them." ”。
"Let's put it here first. Xiao Shizhu looked at those books, and suddenly his head was big, he was most afraid of reading this kind of thing, but it was not good to show disgust in front of outsiders, so he had to smile indifferently: "I will read it slowly in the future, I am tired for a day, everyone please go back, and have a good rest." ", thinking about sending Julong and them away as soon as possible.
Julong and other ghosts are also very acquainted, and they no longer say more, and bow and leave.
As soon as they left, Xiao Shizhu hurriedly told King Kong beside him: "Let the fungus people keep an eye on this long mountain." ”。 As he spoke, he looked at the book left by Ju Long, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Quickly go and pass the order, let Lu Wu quickly lead the troops into Yuque City, and take care of these things for me." ”。
"No. King Kong answered, and turned away.
"Devil, get ready for battle. After thinking for a while, Xiao Shizhu said slowly: "As soon as Lu Wu arrives, you will immediately bring 10,000 Xiao family troops and 10,000 communist workers to Yankong County, and prepare to attack the three first countries. ”。
As soon as these words came out, the ghost captives were stunned, and they looked at him with wide eyes and exclaimed, "So fast, don't you need to recuperate?"
"The battle of the three countries must start immediately, so that it can deter other countries in the east, and it cannot be delayed. Xiao Shizhu nodded, and said categorically: "We have been fighting fiercely with the Gonggong State for several months, and the four countries in the east have long been eyeing each other, if we recuperate at this moment, it will only make them think that we are powerless to fight back, and they will be arrogant." Once they are emboldened, it will be even more troublesome to join forces to invade Yankong County. What's even more troublesome is that if they burn, kill and loot under the banner of helping the communists restore the country, then we will be even more passive. It's better for them to start first, and use this three-headed country that participated in the war to make an example of the chickens and monkeys. ”。
"Hundreds of households, thousands of households, and soldiers, you can choose by yourself. Xiao Shizhu paused, and then said: "Weapons too, you just have to open an order for any firearms you want, and I will ask the Ordnance Supervision Branch established by Shizhu City to make them for you immediately." In addition, Hu Hui will stay in Yankong County to provide you with logistical support. ”。
Xiao Shizhu thought so far-reachingly, and the former enemy of the ghost had to admire him. In this way, not only will there be an excuse to destroy a small country like the Three First Kingdoms, but it will also deter the other three countries, so that they will not dare to underestimate the Nine Hidden Kingdoms.
In addition, he also took away a part of the surrendered troops, which invisibly reduced the probability of riots in Yuque City. It was simply killing three birds with one stone, so that the ghost captives couldn't help but sigh in their hearts that he was indeed not Xiao Shizhu's opponent.
After a while, the ghost captives arched his hand and said, "The last general will go to prepare, but I also hope that the Nine Shadows King will agree to the two conditions of the last general." ”。
"Say it. Xiao Shizhu turned his back and continued to admire the jade tree in front of him: "As long as it's not too much, it's fine." ”。
"First of all, I'm going to take Xuanshui away, this ghost is extremely suitable for being a pioneer. Although it is said that when the ghost captives were princes, the governance of the country was a mess, but it was still a bit accurate to see if the ghosts could fight: "He is brave and good at fighting, he is ruthless enough to kill ghosts without blinking, and he also has rich combat experience, so I can use such ghosts easily." ”。
"Yes. Xiao Shizhu responded without thinking.
"The second is, after you are busy here, you will definitely go to pick up the mother of the country, can you also help me take Qian'er over, don't let her stay in Xiaoyu Mountain City. That way, at least I can see her when I'm not fighting. The ghost asked in a cautious trembling voice.
Qian'er is his only child, although he is not his own, but he has always thought that he is, even if he dies, he still loves him. Therefore, he didn't want to see his daughter all year round.
"Yes. Xiao Shizhu smiled again and blurted out: "Not only do I want to take it over, but I also want to let her out of the palace and let her stop being a maid." ”。
The ghost captives were first happy, and then their hearts were chuckling.
Xiao Shizhu was often moody, and suddenly said without warning that he was going to let his daughter go, breaking his previous decision that Qian'er would be the palace maid forever, so that the ghost prisoner couldn't guess what he was going to do. Worried, he swallowed his saliva and hurriedly asked, "Could it be that Qian'er did something wrong?"
"Relax, don't be nervous. Xiao Shizhu turned his head, glanced at the panic on his face by the light of the torches in the hands of the soldiers around him, and told what he really thought in his heart: "She didn't do anything wrong, and my wife likes this girl a lot." Let her out of the palace so that she can always be under your knees and take better care of you. When you come back from the battle, I will give you a justifiable promotion after making meritorious contributions, and your annual salary will be enough for you to support her. To put it bluntly, I have been raising your daughter for this year, and I don't really want her to be a cow or a horse. ”。
"After all, the food in the palace is better than the barracks. Xiao Shizhu paused, and added: "And I only like to bully the enemy, I don't like to bully my own people." ”。
As soon as these words came out, the ghost was stunned for a moment, and then he was greatly moved, and he could vaguely see a little tear in his eyes.
