Outside the tent there was another wind, a strong wind.

A blow is accompanied by a tiger's roar, and it can also raise bursts of misty dust.

In this way on the plains of the howling winds, this place is the desolation of the wilderness and the abundance of minerals in the leylines, except for the winds that never disappear.

Inside the tent, Xiao Fuling, who was sitting on the edge of the fire pond, frowned, quietly listening to the wind outside the tent one after another.

The thrush on the opposite side picked up the teacup again, blowing the heat that slowly rose from it.

Through the heat, she saw Xiao Lingling's frowning brow on the other side, but she was also silent and said no more.

Why Xiao Poria locks her brows is not something that thrushes can ask. Unless Xiao Fuling opened her mouth, she would be a little overly talkative if she asked.

Thrush has been in the officialdom of the underworld for so many years, and she still knows when to speak and when to shut up.

At this time, it's better for her not to interject.

"For a long time to come, we will have to send a lot of manpower to spy on the ghosts involved in this case of reselling minerals. After pondering for a long time, Xiao Fuling finally opened her mouth, and said worriedly: "For now, to quietly control it in the dark, and monitor the ghosts, there are more than a thousand on the Howling Wind Plain alone, this is not a small task, there can be no slightest slack and difference, I need the assistance of all the ghosts on the Howling Wind Plain." But I'm afraid that some of these ghosts have already been bought. rashly turned to them for help, but instead startled the snake. ”。

Xiao Lingling has been worried about this for the past few days.

This group of Qingqiu fox ghosts can secretly buy the local Yu Langguan, and they still have some magical powers, skills, and power. According to his resume, this person's soul was in the year of the founding of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, and under the recruitment order issued by Xiao Shizhu, he was recruited into the mineral mining department of the Nine Shadows Country, and after many assessments, he became one of the ghost officials.

In the following ten years, Yu Langguan has always been loyal to the Nine Hidden Kingdom, and he is also conscientious in doing things, and he has slowly achieved the Lang official in the mineral management of a county, which is equivalent to a department-level cadre in the world. And before that, there was no stain on Yu Langguan's resume.

But in order to be able to distribute dividends to tens of thousands of taels of silver a year, the current Yu Langguan dares to betray the Nine Shadows Kingdom, and the other ghosts, Xiao Fuling does not dare to assert that they are also loyal.

Even the thrush opposite her frowned after hearing Xiao Lingling's worries.

Thrushes are also worried.

However, the thrush quickly frowned, took out a letter from his sleeve, which had been opened, and handed it to Xiao Fuling: "Although it is a secret letter passed to me, the owner of Weng is not an outsider, and I also believe that this secret letter will definitely solve the urgent need of the master of Weng now." ”。

A look of confusion flashed in Xiao Lingling's eyes, and when she took the secret letter and looked at it carefully, Thrush continued: "This is your father's handwritten letter, which was sent by the cronies. ”。

Xiao Fuling unfolded the letter and took a closer look, the handwriting on it was indeed the handwriting of her father Xiao Shizhu, but as for the content, Xiao Fuling couldn't help but be overjoyed when she saw it.

The letter said that Xiao Shizhu's secretly mobilized army had arrived at the Howling Wind Plain, ostensibly under the banner of going east to Dongyingzhou to help, and temporarily resting on the Howling Wind Plain, but in fact, he would take this opportunity to stay here, help Xiao Poria and Thrush, and wipe out the ghosts who resold minerals.

This just solved Xiao Fuling's urgent need, she was worried that there was no one available to monitor those criminals who couldn't be caught by surprise for the time being, and now that it was okay, the army that didn't belong to the Howling Wind Plains garrison was here. It is also possible to send some sergeants from the army who are good at stalking and tracking to be responsible for monitoring criminals who cannot be caught by surprise.

And each sergeant in these armies is from a different place, and it is impossible to be completely bought by the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom. In addition, the army has always been loyal to Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother, loyal to the Nine Shadows Kingdom and the ghost people in the country, and the occasional rebellion is also a minority, which can be used to fight crime.

Although this is so, it feels a bit like killing chickens with a knife. But it does solve Xiao Fuling's concerns.

And Xiao Shizhu has already written in the letter that these armies are all used by Xiao Poria and Thrush, which also happens to help Xiao Poria a lot, so that she can mobilize more manpower, and she can open a huge net of heaven and earth, so that the murderers on the Howling Wind Plain have nothing to hide.

"I was able to mobilize a large army so quickly, and it seems that my father had already calculated that there would be such a difficulty, and prepared in advance. Xiao Fuling, who had folded the letter, handed it back to the thrush who nodded and echoed it, and her expression of admiration was flushed, lingering in her eyes.

During her time in prison, Xiao Fuling knew how much time it would take to prepare for the mobilization of a large army. This is by no means like her quietly going out of the palace to lead the team to hunt, which requires a lot of preparation time.

It's not that the march is slow, the infrastructure of the Nine Shadows can allow the army to quickly reach another area from one point to another. But from the distribution of weapons to the distribution of food and grass, etc., it takes at least twelve to twenty-four hours, or even forty-eight hours, for a large army.

Therefore, it can be seen that when Xiao Fuling was still arresting the second child or interrogating the second child, Xiao Shizhu had anticipated her difficulties today and began to mobilize the army, so she could send the army over in time now.

"When will the army arrive in Howling Wind City?" Immediately after, Xiao Lingling asked again.

"Three days later, we will be stationed in Howling Wind City. I have given orders to go down and prepare a resettlement site outside the city for the army to recuperate. The thrush, who put the letter in his bosom, whispered: "Since it is to be under the banner of rest, it must be like that." In the past few days, the yamen of the county government will list this matter as the first priority. The louder the movement, the more it looks real. ”。

"Hmm. Xiao Ling, who nodded, smiled, and was no longer worried when she picked up the teacup......

Compared to the strong wind on the Howling Wind Plain, the wind on the top of Xiaoyu Mountain City was not small, but it was not so strong and so strong.

In the courtyard of the mountaintop mansion, the negotiators of the Northern Yin Dynasty and the Nine Shadows Kingdom were still arguing over the amount of compensation. The excitement was loud and loud, covering the sound of the wind.

Among them, the envoys of the Northern Yin Dynasty were the most excited, especially that Wei Zheng, who stood up several times with a slap on the table, cursed the shamelessness of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, and verbally attacked Jiang Ziwen and Ji Kang, who were opposite him, as bastards with milk or mother.

So much so that in the back, the heroic tricks that had been silent couldn't listen anymore, and couldn't help but scold Wei Zheng angrily: "Lord Wei, good birds choose trees to perch, you stupid and loyal brains know a fart." Is it right to follow the Beiyin Dynasty and the old ghosts of Xudu to harm human souls at every turn, to enslave the ghosts at every turn in order to show your high position, and to constantly provoke wars and bloodsheds in secret for the sake of the stable ruling power of the Beiyin Dynasty?"

One sentence made Wei Zhengding speechless, and he could only freeze in place with a blue face.

"Also, we are talking peacefully, and we don't want you to blame anyone. Immediately afterwards, Ying Zhao snorted coldly and said: "Beiyin is up and down, even you, Lord Wei, don't you often treat the ghost people like a mustard? My lord dares to stand up, and he also has a peaceful and prosperous world in the Yin Cao Prefecture, so that everyone is equal and free, what is wrong in the end? Lord Jiang and Lord Ji Kang choose to stand on our side and fight for the ghost people in the world, what is wrong? Is it justice to exploit and kill the ghost people like you? Don't talk nonsense, if you want to talk about it, if you don't talk about it, you will talk about these idle articles, and go back to your drunkenness. This is not the Northern Yin Dynasty, it is the Nine Shadows Kingdom, and you Wei Zheng Saye have also found the right place. ”。

When the words landed, Lu Zhidao hurriedly pulled Wei Zheng's sleeve.

They already have a division of labor, Wei Zheng sings the red-faced Lu Zhidao and sings the white face, and then comes to bargain; Lu Zhidao wants to continue like this, and it is too much for Wei Zheng to enter the play.

At this moment, Ying Zhao, who paused, glared at Wei Zheng angrily and said in a deep voice: "If I force Lao Tzu to be in a hurry, I will kill you now, if you don't believe me, you can try it, and see if I have the courage and guts to fight with your bullshit Northern Yin Dynasty again." ”。

Looking at Ying Zhao's eyebrows, his eyes were wide open, and his right hand was already pressed on the handle of the long knife at his waist, it didn't look like a joke.

If Wei Zheng dared to make a mistake, he would really let this person's ghost head fall to the ground, Lu Zhidao hurriedly pulled Wei Zheng's sleeve again.

Wei Zheng slowly sat down, although he was silent, although he still had a blue face, there was an indescribable sense of loss and frustration, which had been haunting his chest, and it was mixed with humiliation.

"So when the sages have read the books of the sages and you, don't be silent. Jiang Ziwen, who was on the other side, was triumphantly adding, and said: "The 50,000 taels of gold is a lot, and this is the first bottom limit of my country's peace talks." If it were a penny less, there would be no need for this peace talks. ”。

After that, he smiled with Ji Kang. In that smile, in addition to being surprised, there was naturally a little ridicule of Wei Zheng and Lu Zhidao.

With a look of full pride, he just vented all the long-suppressed grievances accumulated during the war between the two countries a few months ago.

Lu Zhidao and Wei Zheng were silent; Wei Zheng was still angry, he was an upright imperial envoy in the underworld, representing the Emperor Xudu, and it was naturally difficult to accept such an insult for a while.

But Lu Zhidao was thinking about it, thinking about continuing the peace talks.

Lu Zhidao can agree to the request of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, and the compensation is not a lot, but he wants to complete the task secretly given to him by the Emperor Xudu.

After thinking about it for a long time, Lu Zhidao looked at Ying Zhao, who was still angry, smiled and made a compensation, and said: "General Ying Zhao, although this compensation can be promised to your country, it is not a lot." But there is also a condition in our country. ”。

Ying Zhao became angry and said, "Please speak." ”。

"Since it is a peace negotiation, the first task is to quell the war, and one of the roots of the war is soldiers and horses. Lu Zhidao's smile did not decrease, and he said slowly: "As long as your country is willing to disarm, this compensation is easy to say, easy to say." My Northern Yin Dynasty is also thinking about the Nine Shadows Kingdom, since the peace talks are over, and the two sides are not fighting, there is no need for you to raise so many troops. First, it is to show the sincerity of the peace talks and the determination to maintain peace, and second, it is also to save your country's military and treasury expenditures. Third, in this way, your country can also make the other ghost countries around it fearless, so that it will not be able to easily provoke military disasters, and the six seas and ten continents of this underworld can naturally be peaceful. ”。

After hearing these slow words, the ghosts of the Nine Shadows Kingdom were furious in their hearts, but they were also speechless for a while, and they couldn't find a reason to refute them for the time being.

Indeed, whether the purpose of the peace talks is true or not, on the surface, it is to achieve the goal of peace. And what Lu Zhidao said and the conditions he put forward were also for this purpose, so that Ying Zhao and them were speechless for a while.
