The whistling wind echoes between the heavens and the earth and does not stop. The wind and sand were still raging, and only a gray patch was left between the dim heaven and earth, and everything could be seen blurry and unreal.

The fine grains of sand came to his face, and Ke Yun, who stood motionless in place, thought about it carefully, and suddenly realized.

Xiao Shizhu can mobilize more than 100,000 troops, which looks like a lot of numbers, but it is impossible for Queen Huangquan to let Xiao Shizhu lead more ghost soldiers. Every time you want to fight a place, you have to arrange a garrison to hold on, which is really stretched.

With its fight and defense of one place, it is better to kill all the way to the past and wreak havoc on the advance, but it can also achieve a deterrent effect, making the ghost soldiers of the capital panic.

Capture the thief and capture the king first, as long as you can capture the Jiuquan Valley, the base camp of the ghost soldiers of Xudu, and take down the eight ghost soldiers to lead the general, the ghost soldiers in Huangquan are the dragons without a leader, scattered sand. It must no longer be a threat to the ghosts of Huangquan.

"Well, then I'll tell my men to hurry up and quickly dismantle the fortifications here. Ke Yun, who figured this out, also agreed with Xiao Shizhu's strategy, nodded immediately, and turned away.

"This little girl is really anxious. Looking at her departing back, Tai Feng laughed and said, "I almost didn't fall into a." ”。

"Why don't you stay and be a door-to-door son-in-law?" After seeing that Tai Feng didn't withdraw his gaze for a long time, still staring at the place where Ke Yun left, Xiao Shizhu asked with a smile.

"Lord, don't make trouble, when the time comes, you will all pat your butts and leave, leaving me a ghost in this unaccompanied place, looking at the yellow sand and eating the soil, it's not appropriate, right?" Tai Feng retracted his gaze at this time, and after the appreciation in his eyes faded, he laughed again, raised his hand and scratched his head.

"If you feel like it's your lifelong happiness, I think it's a good fit. Xiao Shizhu continued to joke with him, and saw a ghost shaking in the wind and sand in front of him, so he put away his smile.

After a while, those ghosts stood in front of Xiao Shizhu through the wind and sand. The ghosts are Yingying and Nulu.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Shizhu asked, and the female Lu had already handed Xiao Shizhu a steel knife of a ghost soldier.

Xiao Shizhu, who was inexplicable in his heart, took the steel knife that sank slightly in his hand, and looked at it; Tai Feng also came over, staring at this saber with a wide back and a thin blade and a relatively heavy blade. It should be used by the cavalry of the ghost soldiers of Xudu, but the shiny sword body is engraved with a lot of complicated circles and lines.

On closer inspection, there is nothing special other than those sigils. Xiao Shizhu raised his eyes to look at Yingying, and there was a little more doubt in his eyes.

"The talisman on this has been checked clearly, it is the Broken Iron Talisman and the Edge Spell, a very ancient god and ghost talisman seal. Once blessed on the body of the knife, not only can the knife be cut like clay, but it will be easy to cut gold and jade. Sensing the confusion in his heart, Ying Ying told everything: "It can also make the blade hard, several times harder than ordinary iron tools, and it is not easy to break." Therefore, although many of the guards were killed by artillery, their weapons were intact. ”。

Xiao Shizhu was in the wind and sand, and his back was a little cold when he heard it. This kind of weapon is simply the overlord of cold weapons. On the battlefield, who is not able to kill the enemy with a sharp sword? The quality of a weapon is even one of the factors that determine the life and death of the wielder.

This kind of talisman can make Fan Tie a divine soldier, and it can be seen that fighting against the ghost soldiers of Xudu who hold such weapons, it is also a miracle that the ghosts of Huangquan can survive to this day.

Xiao Shizhu lowered his eyebrows and thought about it, and suddenly remembered that when he first saw Ke Yun and them at the entrance, the ghost soldiers of Huangquan were also extra careful, trying not to let the blades in their hands collide violently with the enemy's weapons.

At that time, there was a shortage of soldiers, and Xiao Shizhu didn't care too much. Now that I think about it, I am afraid that the doorway in this is only on the talisman engraved on the body of this knife.

"It's just that this kind of talisman can only be used on the sword, not other weapons. After a pause, Ying Ying said to Xiao Shizhu in the wind and sand: "Later, the ancient gods forged dark iron and steel, and this kind of talisman seal became obsolete and was abandoned. In fact, the sword it blessed with is just as hard and as sharp as a weapon made of stainless steel. ”。

"So, Emperor Xudu sent these ghost soldiers to Huangquan at that time, and he didn't have so many dark iron and steel to build weapons, so he let them take away this outdated magic technique?" Xiao Shizhu suddenly felt that the weapon in his hand was actually nothing magical, but he had listened to the wind and rain before, and he had seen it too well.

"Well, or the Emperor Xudu doesn't plan to make these ghost soldiers in Huangquan also stronger. Ying Ying said with a slight bow.

Xiao Shizhu's face and eyes, the suspicion faded, he slowly curled the corners of his mouth, and smiled: "This Emperor Xudu is really capable, and even this kind of thing is so meticulous." ”。

"Distribute these weapons to the ghost soldiers under Ke Yun. Immediately afterwards, Xiao Shizhu put away the corners of his mouth and smiled, and ordered Ying Ying and Nulu: "In view of the fact that their weapons are too backward, by the way, I will also hand over the captured firearms to them, and there is no need to transport them back for the time being." ”。

"And what if there's more left?" asked the attentive Ying Ying after responding.

"Let Shi Cassia take the ghost soldiers and use the extra weapons to make traps in the pass. He had learned all of these when he was in the school palace. Xiao Shizhu only thought for a while, then turned around and walked to the city wall beside him, holding the wall battlement and looking into the distance, and said, "Let this place become the tomb of the reinforcements of the ghost soldiers of the Xudu." ”。

As he spoke, as far as his eyes could see, behind the gray wind and sand, it was the Middle Earth in the Yellow Spring......

In Yuque City, the ghost mother prunes the flowers and plants in the building in the Juexiang Garden.

The war has begun, and the fighting on Shuoyue Island continues. But the ghost mother was not too nervous because of this, she, like Xiao Shizhu, believed that the soldiers of Shuoyue Island would fight to the death and would definitely be able to hold the small island.

Coupled with the topography and geographical advantages of Shuoyue Island, the Nine Shadows Kingdom will win.

The ghost mother has little leisure and nothing to do, so she just prunes the plants and trees in this building, so that they can grow better, and second, to relax.

Holding flower scissors, she slowly shuttled among the strange flowers and plants, and from time to time she cut off a few branches of plants and trees that were not very pleasing to the eye, or vines and green leaves.

Tengu Daihana took the trouble to follow her, wagging his tail from time to time.

Suddenly, the big flower stopped and stood still, and when he pricked up his ears, he had already probed out of the flowers, raised his eyes and looked in the direction of the gate, and saw Chen Ruomai step inside, and after a while, he stood in front of the ghost mother.

"*,Lord Lin Cong asked to see him. Chen Ruo, who bowed to Yingying, opened his lips lightly and asked in a low voice: "But it's getting late, let him come back tomorrow from time to time?"

The ghost mother stopped trimming, looked down and saw that she was dressed decently, and she had not changed into a light bedgown, she shook her head lightly, and said, "Lin Cong is now in charge of the affairs of the Gyeonggi Xuanjiao, and there must be something urgent to enter the palace late at night, so let's take him in first." ”。

After that, the ghost mother gave the scissors in her hand to Chen Ruohou, and walked straight towards the small pool surrounded by a few green bamboos not far from the case. The big flower beside her also stepped forward again, following closely behind her, still not leaving an inch.

After Chen Ruo nodded in response, he turned to leave, and put the flower scissors back on the shelf by the way.

The ghost mother sat down on a chair by the pool and picked up the teacup on the small table next to the chair. After taking a sip of tea, Chen Ruo brought Lin Cong in and stood in front of the ghost mother.

"*, the matter is urgent, please forgive the minister had to enter the inner court late at night to ask for an audience. Lin Cong, who had just stood still, explained while saluting the ghost mother.

"It's okay, it's only too late. The ghost mother who put down the teacup raised her eyes and glanced at Lin Cong, and asked, "It's about Shuoyue Island, right?"

Lin Cong nodded, but he was not in a hurry to tell the truth, he just tilted his head slightly, and out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Chen Ruo, who was not moving.

He just came back from Dongyizhou, and he didn't know much about Xiao Shizhu and the ghosts around the ghost mother. Therefore, looking at Chen Ruo's gaze, he was a little more vigilant.

"If Tatsuru is a trustworthy ghost, you can tell me anything. His actions did not escape the eyes of the ghost mother, and she picked up a book on the small table, and looked at the scroll in her hand by the bright light of the centipede beads and luminous beads.

"Yes. Hearing this, Lin Cong put away his vigilance, and nodded again: "A secret letter has been sent from the commander of the island guarding the island, informing us to get ready, and we must be ready to launch the plan of the fungus man to become a ghost soldier at any time in the near future." It is said that after several days of fierce fighting, the Xudu army has dismantled all the fortifications on the coast of Shuoyue Island and near the sea, and the local garrison is not busy repairing, so they plan to use this to lead a large number of Xudu troops to the island. In this way, just like the original plan, the Xudu army would not be dispersed too much, and the fungus people would fortunately use the help of Su Tianju to make all the ghost soldiers of Xudu near the beach and the island fixed. ”。

The ghost mother flipped through the scroll in her hand, did not raise her eyes, but said slowly: "You pass a secret order to Shenji, so that he and the fungus people designated to participate in the plan will enter Sutianju from now on, and they must eat, drink, and sleep in Sutianju, and they must not go out for a step, and wait for the news of Yingzhao at any time." ”。

Whether it is the tone or the look, the ghost mother is very calm. It's just that she still can't help but feel a little surprised in her heart, the destructive power of the Xudu army is too great, and it only takes nearly ten days of fighting to completely dismantle the fortifications around the island, which is beyond her expectations. It can be seen that the battle that started on Shuoyue Island this time was even more tragic than the previous two times.

Thinking of this quietly, the ghost mother was already secretly preparing how to reinforce Shuoyue Island. In any case, she had to let Shuoyue Island hold on until Xiao Shizhu returned safely, and she must not let Xiaodao fall into the hands of the Xudu regime before the next time.

"No. After Lin Cong answered, he did not retire. Instead, he paused, and said: "In addition, Feitian has entered the city and entered the palace, and the disciples I arranged and the disciples of Su Tianju have sensed her whole body, and they did find that there were traces of talisman implantation in her body before, but now her physique has no talisman. Therefore, she did not lie to the Ying Zhao Dashuai. ”。

"Really?" the ghost mother put down the scroll and looked up again, looking at Lin Cong. Lin Cong immediately nodded, and answered the ghost mother's question.

"Then you can put her in a safe place guarded by the Xuanjiao. After thinking for a while, the ghost mother said again*: "Don't let her go out for the time being." ”。

"It's a bit tricky. Lin Cong, who was a little embarrassed, frowned and said, "She said that she knew of a conspiracy, which was done by Emperor Xudu." Because the stakes are so high, she didn't mention it to the Ying Zhao Marshal before, she just wanted to wait until she came to the capital and met you directly. I tentatively asked what the conspiracy was, but she wouldn't speak. I have to see you to say that I am embarrassed. ”。
