The sea around Shuoyue Island is sparkling, and in the light of the cloudy sun in the early morning, the stone forest on the sea can see the vast smoke. Under the clear sky outside the stone forest on the sea, the sea scales are soaring. Occasionally, a breeze blows by, stirring up small waves that reflect patches of silvery light.

At dawn, the markets opened, and the merchant ships parked in the harbor carried boxes of goods and handed them over to the convoys to transport them out of the harbor and enter the markets to begin trading.

However, located at the top of Xiaoyu Mountain City, the military yamen is far away from the hustle and bustle, but it is quiet.

The representatives of the three Nine Shadows Nation sitting in the courtyard unanimously agreed that the peace talks were coming to an end.

Even if it is a last resort, the Northern Yin Dynasty will urgently end the peace talks as soon as possible, in exchange for peace between the two countries, at least eliminate the military disasters of the two countries, let each other enter recuperation, and make adequate preparations for the final big war.

If the two ghost kingdoms go to war again, all the wars in the past will inevitably be nothing more than a small fight compared to the future. When the time comes, winning or losing will definitely determine life and death.

Future battles will only become more and more brutal.

After a while, Ying Zhao said to Yu Xuan beside him: "Let the sergeants prepare these days, once the peace talks are successful, they will immediately detain the ghost envoy of the Northern Yin Dynasty." Remember, you can only let a few of them go back with a few talking ghosts. ”。

This was Xiao Shizhu's decision, and he had already decided that the result of this peace negotiation would be that there would be no rabbits, no eagles, no materials and money to be compensated by the Xudu side, and he would definitely not let Lu Zhidao and Wei Zheng back.

Of course, there is also the eunuch in the prison, who has always been Xiao Shizhu who has not even looked at him, and has been nicknamed Gong Mingyi, a dead eunuch.

Yu Xuan also knew this idea, so he didn't ask anything at the moment, nodded and agreed, and went out to arrange.

"Fungus man, you immediately inform the lord of the Yuque Palace, and say that we expect that the peace talks are about to end, so that he can control the overall situation. Immediately afterwards, Ying Zhao said to the fungus man hiding on him: "In this way, the lord can also inform Lord Tani Tianying and them, and withdraw his troops and return to China in time." Lest after the peace talks are over, Lord Tanuki Tianying and they still don't know that they are still attacking, and they will have a bad reputation for destroying peace. ”。

"No. Seeing that the negotiators of the Northern Yin Dynasty had not yet come, the fungus man replied, and continued to hide in Yingzhao's thick mane and sent a message to Yuque City.

"Heroic recruitment. At this moment, Ji Kang said to Ying Zhao again: "The lord will definitely let you control the overall situation, as soon as the peace talks here are over, you will immediately notify Lord Tanuki Tianying, and let them lead the army to retreat back to the country." ”。

Ji Kang worked as a scribe for Xiao Shizhu, and knew that when Xiao Shizhu was idle in the past, he was indeed in the late stage of procrastination, and sometimes he didn't even bother to drink water, and he must be thirsty until his lips were dry before reaching out. But as long as he gets down to business, Xiao Shizhu will only pay attention to efficiency.

In this matter, once Xiao Shizhu wants to pay attention to efficiency, the best way is to let Ying Zhao notify Tantian Ying and them, and let Yuque City go to transit again.

"Well, that's the most timely way to go. After Jiang Ziwen nodded in agreement, he picked up his teacup, leisurely scraped the end of the tea in the cup, and took a sip of fragrant tea.

"It's okay, I'll tell you anyway. When the time comes, if the lord wants to do this, he will give me the instructions to do it. Ying Zhao smiled disappreciatively and replied casually.

Ying Zhao can be a brother with Xiao Shizhu, a human soul who looks down on the world, in addition to the past and present affection, as well as Ying Zhao's loyalty, it all depends on him as long as it is an important matter, he must first ask Xiao Shizhu for this.

This made Xiao Shizhu not think that one day he didn't know that he would not like him when he remembered the past, so he sent someone to arrest him casually on a charge, or clicked a trick.

His voice landed, and the fungus man in his mane spoke again, and said, "Dashuai, the lord has replied to you to inform Lord Tanuki Tianying of them." As long as the peace talks are over, I will send a message to the past. ”。

Jiang Ziwen and Ji Kang looked at each other and smiled, applauding them for guessing correctly. However, they didn't know that Ying Zhao could naturally guess this layer, which was just Ying Zhao's way of being an official.

Ying Zhao stroked his beard and nodded, "Got it." ”。

The fungus man who was well hidden in his mane stopped talking. After all, the matter of the fungus people's transmission of letters, the Nine Shadows Kingdom has never recognized it to the outside world. Here's their well-informed knack.

At this time, Yu Xuan, who had been away for a long time, approached and saluted the three representatives of the Nine Shadows Kingdom: "Great Shuai, the representatives of the Northern Yin Dynasty have arrived. ”。

"Yes, please. Ying Zhao said this, and Jiang Ziwen sat up dangerously......

The Yuque Palace, which is full of morning glow, ushered in a long-lost court meeting in today's loud morning bell.

The golden whip sounded in the square of the Tianquan Palace, and hundreds of civil and military officials lined up, and under the leadership of Lu Wu and Chunyun, they entered the main hall with a wat in the morning glow.

Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother appeared on the Tianquan Hall together, and in the best mental state, they faced all the ghost officials in the capital who came to participate in the court meeting this morning, more than two thousand stones.

The moment the officials saw Xiao Shizhu, who was safe and sound, the situation of Xiao Shizhu going to the Yellow Spring to kill in and out was no longer a rumor. Seeing that Xiao Shizhu, who was safe and sound, sat on the throne of the Tianquan Hall again, a very small part of the ghost officials who already had two hearts for the Nine Hidden Kingdoms were also so frightened that they hurriedly accepted the two hearts, and they were more loyal than before, and even did not hesitate to show their flattery.

As for the loyal ministers who had always believed that Xiao Shizhu could come back safely after hearing the rumors, they were all happy and excited. The pride in the bottom of his heart churned for a while, Xiao Shizhu came back safely, and told them that he had brought back nearly 100,000 Huangquan ghost soldiers, which made the ministers extremely proud in excitement.

Let's ask, in the huge Netherworld, is there any Hades Emperor Hades who can have the courage and ability of Xiao Shizhu, go to the Yellow Spring that makes all the ghosts in the Netherworld talk about it, and come back safely.

As ghosts and ghost officials of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, they will also have face when they go out in the future. After tea and dinner, he can also pat his chest and brag to others: "I think about my big guy Jiuyou King, how he went to the Yellow Spring, how he was." "That's it.

As long as this thing can be blown out, the ghosts of the Nine Shadows Kingdom will also be stained with their faces.

This morning's meeting, which lasted four hours, was dismissed after noon. At the court meeting, Xiao Shizhu, Ghost Mother, and the ministers and hundreds of officials discussed not only the increase in troops, but also various reforms in the DPRK and China, including the abuse of indiscriminate occupation and the problem of occupying more public land.

These decisions must come up with the best plan, and every year in the future, they can bring a lot of income to the Nine Shadows Kingdom. In other words, save a lot of money and fill the treasury of the Nine Shadows Country.

Although these proposals have a small number of ghost officials, most of them agree with the reform.

So everything went well, and at the end of the meeting it was decided and decided to implement it;

Xiao Shizhu went down to the court, and after chatting with Lu Wu Chunyun and other ghost officials in the main hall, he went down to the court and took the ghost mother towards Tianyang Palace.

They had to go to Tianyang Palace for dinner together according to the usual practice in the past, and then they would start busy in Tianyang Palace after a break.

Out of the Tianquan Palace, walked on the side of the palace path. The flowers and plants on the roadside stretch, blooming and growing leaves in the vigorous yin air under the spring breeze, fading away the lifelessness of winter.

The flowers and plants in the underworld, in addition to the flowers and plants that are all in the world, there are many strange plants and trees. Some are very novel, but Xiao Shizhu is tired of watching it. Some of them are very weird, and he is used to seeing them. Along the way, Xiao Shizhu has been turning a blind eye to the flowers and plants planted on the side of the road.

The breeze was blowing, the robe was swaying lightly, Xiao Shizhu walked slowly, chatting with the ghost mother and discussing the problems of several countries.

"Did you hear, the moon girl went back to the city yesterday evening. After a moment of gossip, the ghost mother brought the topic to the matter.

"Well, it's back. Xiao Shizhu held his hands behind his back, walked slowly behind his back, and nodded: "It is true that he came back last night." ”。

Of course, there is no surprise about this. The ghost mother is responsible for taking care of his harem, although after Tu Yaoqing was imprisoned, Xiao Shizhu's harem only had Lai Yueqi and the ghost mother.

But when Lai Yueqi entered the palace, the ghost mother must have known earlier than Xiao Shizhu.

So Xiao Shizhu didn't have anything to make a fuss about, just glanced at Chen Ruo, who was following closely behind the ghost mother.

Presumably, it was Chen Ruo who told the ghost mother first.

In addition, Xiao Shizhu was a little big, and couldn't help frowning. Lai Yueqi's return means that he wants to go and explain to Lai Yueqi why he should deal with Tu Yaoqing's matter leniently first.

"Then you go to her Moon Wall Palace tonight. The ghost mother didn't think much about it, so she said to Xiao Shizhu: "Go and see her; ”。

The ghost mother just thought, anyway, what should come is always coming, and she can't hide, so she blurted out those words without thinking.

"The moon girl is good, but why don't you like to fight for so many years, in addition to serving me, she has been immersed in the study of weapons and firearms. The temper and habit of valuing harmony when I was a businessman have been deeply rooted in the bone marrow. Xiao Shizhu smiled and said so.

But although he was smiling, his heart was painful. I'm going to Yuebi Palace tonight, and when I see Lai Yueqi, I have to say my opinion on Tu Yaoqing's treatment.

Although Xiao Shizhu will not let Tu Yaoqing die well in the end, if he has to forgive Tu Yaoqing first, it will make Lai Yueqi feel uncomfortable.

How to make it clear at this time, can you explain it clearly, Xiao Shizhu is a little muttering.

"It's good that the moon girl is like this, her personality is very likable, and she doesn't annoy people. The ghost mother knew that Xiao Shizhu was still a little annoyed about this matter, so she said: "So you have to talk to her, and she will definitely understand after saying it." ”。

"After so many years of husband and wife, the moon girl also understands you. After a pause, the Ghost Mother added.

Xiao Shizhu followed her words, and after thinking about it, he felt that it was right. I made up my mind that I still had to go over tonight, and I couldn't run away from it. Anyway, escaping won't solve the problem, just make it clear and clear when the time comes.

"The life of the fugitive is more troublesome than this, so I'd better face it calmly. When Xiao Shizhu walked to the gate of Tianyang Palace, he suddenly sighed: "It's a big deal to listen to her cry tonight." ”。

The headless words made the black monkey and Qinglan behind him, as well as Chen Ruo, not understand.

Only the ghost mother next to her heard it and bowed her head slightly.

She knew that Xiao Shizhu was nothing more than saying that if she had come to fight and chose to flee, perhaps the trouble she faced now would be greater than how to keep Lai Yueqi from being hit.

The two ghosts looked at each other and smiled, and walked into Tianyang Palace.

Xun Xiang, who had already been in Tianyang Palace, was already waiting in the side hall, directing the palace maids to set up the lunch of the ghost mother and Xiao Shizhu for the ghost mother and Xiao Shizhu.

"Xunxiang, you didn't quietly poison our food, did you?" Xiao Shizhu said jokingly, and sat on the couch behind the desk in the depths of the side hall.

Xun Xiang's face turned pale with fright, and he hurriedly denied it: "The lord is joking, Xun Xiang will not dare to do such a rebellious thing." ”。

Of course she didn't dare, and she wouldn't poison it, but Xiao Shizhu's joke came too suddenly, so scared that Xun Xiang was stunned for a while, a little at a loss.

Xiao Shizhu smiled without saying a word, and reached out to pick up the chopsticks on the chopsticks pillow. After the ghost mother motioned to Qinglan and them to retreat from the meal, she said to Xun Xiang, who didn't dare to leave: "Xun Xiang, the king is joking with you, don't take it seriously, just laugh it off." ”。

As soon as these words came out, Xun Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, and after smiling, he said: "The minister will retire first, lord, ** you use it slowly." ”。

The ghost mother nodded, smiled and said to Xunxiang, "Go, let's go eat." ”。

Xun Xiang answered and retreated, and after going out, he raised his hand and wiped the beads of sweat that had oozed from his forehead.

"I was depressed and pretending to be happy just now, why is I in such a good mood now? The ghost mother turned her head, looked at her husband who was feasting, blinked with a smile, and asked.

She is the ghost who knows Xiao Shizhu best in this huge underworld, and she knows Xiao Shizhu better than Xiao Shizhu's biggest opponent, Emperor Xudu. Generally speaking, when her freak husband can joke about his life and death, he has encountered something very happy.

Others and ghosts will think that it is a very unlucky thing to joke about their own life and death. But Xiao Shizhu has always been the opposite, and he doesn't care about this kind of joke when he feels that his fate is in his own hands.

Xiao Shizhu has always been like this, so sometimes the ghost mother thinks he is a freak. So much so that the image of Xiao Poria, even Xiao Poria is like this, when she encounters happy things, she will always unconsciously joke about her life and death.

"Let me guess, guess what makes you so happy?" Without waiting for Xiao Shizhu to answer, the ghost mother who took a bite of the food thought silently while chewing the food in her mouth slowly.

After a while, when she slowly swallowed the chewed food, her eyes lit up, but she lowered her voice and pretended to be mysterious: "You received a letter from the negotiators on Shuoyue Island, or through some signs, you have already guessed that we are on Shuoyue Island, and the peace talks with the Northern Yin Dynasty are about to end. ”。

The ghost mother thought about it for a while, and felt that the only thing that could make Xiao Shizhu suddenly happy was naturally this matter.

She also decided that her guess was not far from ten.

Xiao Shizhu put down the chopsticks and rice bowl, looked up to the sky and laughed, but this smile made the ghost mother feel unconfident and even a little confused. After being stunned for a moment, the ghost mother asked her husband, "What are you laughing at?

"Laughing is to be happy for you, happy for you to guess half of the answer correctly. Xiao Shizhu suddenly became skinny, and his smile did not decrease, but after holding back his laughter, he said, "Of course, you are also laughing that you only guessed half right." ”。

The ghost mother was stunned for a moment, and then asked blankly, "What about the other half?"
