Xiao Shizhu put on his clothes, glanced at the anxiety under the beads of sweat on the herald's face, his face was still flat, and he asked slowly without hurrying: "What happened to Shuoyue Island?"

"I don't know. The herald replied.

"Didn't my wife say what it was?" Xiao Shizhu asked again.

"I didn't say it. The herald replied.

"Got it, you go down and rest first. Xiao Shizhu pondered for a moment and said to King Kong: "Send someone to Siyouwan and transfer my two teams of personal guards to ensure her safety while being sent by the moon girl." ”。

After King Kong left, Xiao Shizhu turned his head to look at the reluctance in Lai Yueqi's eyes, and said with a smile: "I can't help but go back, there must be something big over there, and I have to go back to discuss." ”。

"But you are injured, can you stand the fatigue of the journey?" Lai Yueqi asked as she looked at him worriedly.

"What is this big fart? Xiao Shizhu laughed, took Lai Yueqi's hand, put away his smile and said softly: "I will come to see you again, or I will take you back when everything is almost stable in the ordnance prison." ”。

Lai Yueqi bit her lip when she heard this, and nodded heavily, the sudden parting was imminent, and there were a thousand words in her chest, but in the end it only turned into one. After the words came out of his mouth, he got up silently and went to pack Xiao Shizhu without saying a word......

After embarking on the return journey without stopping, Xiao Shizhu stood at the bow of the ship without saying a word, thinking about the assassins. He had a hunch that the Nangong family was just another ghost for the dead, and the real culprit behind the scenes was definitely not this kind of local tyrant family who had a few stinky money, some martial arts and were brainless, and dared to run rampant in the township.

"King Kong. Thinking of this, he waved behind him and asked, "Does the Mo family have the habit of joining forces with all parties to do bad things?"

"Yes. King Kong stepped forward, stood side by side with him and stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the sea and sky in the distance, and said without thinking: "Isn't Wu Zhiqi just a strong party? Back then, he was in the Huaishan area, but he was famous for his strong and powerful, and he gave money to help the poor and attracted a lot of customers. ”。

"Hmm. Xiao Shizhu bowed his head slightly, and asked thoughtfully: "But why didn't I stab this time? For the Mo family, I, who always go against them, should be more hateful than the moon girl?" Between the frowning brows, there was a burst of suspicion.

"This is the usual method of the Mo family, first outside and then inside, gradually disintegrating; the former ghost kingdom is a very good list, and the ministers under the ghost king, eight or nine times out of ten have become disciples of the Mo family, and those who can't be replaced will be slowly killed. After thinking for a moment, King Kong said, "And don't you always say that science and technology are combat effectiveness? Madame Lai has invented so many new weapons for us, and as soon as she dies, the weapon technology will stagnate, and it will not be easy to fight us in the future. And in front of you, killing Mrs. Lai can also play a role in deterring you." It makes sense and is impeccable.

After he reminded him, Xiao Shizhu suddenly remembered that there was indeed such a possibility. And Lai Yueqi stored all the data of the weapon in her own brain, and never made a picture.

Not only that, but she also learned a trick from Xiao Shizhu. Dividing a weapon into multiple parts, and a part of the craftsman can only be responsible for the manufacture of one part or improving the technology, avoiding the leakage of weapon technology. Therefore, if the Mo family intends to attack the ghost mother country, and the target is the technology of the ghost mother country, then it is impossible to steal the blueprints, and they can only choose to kill Lai Yueqi.

Thinking of this, Xiao Shizhu suddenly thought that many soldiers and civilians in the newly built Linglong City were local people of Black Dragon Island who were temporarily recruited in order to rebuild the city, and the real murderers behind the scenes must naturally be among these ghosts;

And no longer go to the road to do it because the real murderers behind the scenes don't know where Xiao Shizhu is going to fish, and the killers are very unfamiliar with the terrain of the place where they are going, which will reduce the success rate of the assassination, but their circuit is absolutely fixed, and the killers are familiar with the terrain of the circuit, so they will wait for the rabbit on their way back.

"Go and get me pen and ink. Xiao Shizhu didn't think much about it, waved his hand lightly, and said, "Bring the message Hongyan again." ”。

After King Kong took the pen and ink of the small case, Xiao Shizhu sat on the deck, wrote his thoughts on the paper, rolled the paper into a roll, put it into the letter on Hong Yan's feet, raised it high and threw it into the air, and then silently watched Hong Yan spread his wings and go in the direction of Heilong County......

Long before Xiao Shizhu went to Heilong County, Wu Qiu Shou selected more than a dozen soldiers in the army who could fight, all dressed as merchants, and followed him to carry the jewelry prepared by Xiao Shizhu on his shoulders and went in the direction of Liutianzhou.

After ten days of wandering at sea, they came to the calf pass. After showing the customs guards the trade documents stamped with the big seal of the ghost mother, they passed through the customs and headed towards the capital.

After a month of hurrying away, the group of ghosts finally came to the city of Xudu.

When he stood under the thick and tall city wall again, Wuqiu Shou had mixed feelings.

More than 300 years ago, there was a tragedy in the slaughter of the city in Yangzhou, and Wu Qiushou was one of the many anti-Qing people at that time.

The tragic slaughter of the city made the prosperous Yangzhou City turn into a place of ruins in an instant, and for a time the famous towns in the south of the Yangtze River and the ancient alleys of fireworks have all become slaughterhouses with rivers of blood. Wuqiu Shou was one of those who died in these slaughterhouses.

When he died, he was brought to this capital city by black and white impermanence, and the first person he saw was King Qin Guang. King Qin Guang saw that it was recorded in the book of life and death that he was a little scholar who could read a few words, and he didn't even get into Xiucai, and he was not a celebrity and a great man with ideas and intelligence, so he sentenced him to be a slave in the eternal underworld.

Since then, he has been working part-time on the streets of this capital to support himself, but he is also accustomed to seeing the injustice of the underworld. Later, he met Mo Zhai, and he was deeply moved by Mo Zhai's righteous and awe-inspiring words about the future overthrow of the Emperor Xudu.

The useless scholar is talking about Wu Qiushou at that time, he was easily fooled by Mo Zhai and joined the Mo family without hesitation.

But after joining, he never thought that the class system of the Mo family was more obvious than that of the human world. And in order to achieve their goal, the ink masters can actually go to the ghost life very calmly, even if the ghost life is still their companion day and night before it is terminated.

Seeing Mo Zhai's selfish desires swelling more and more, Wu Qiu Shou became more and more cold to the Mo family, and he gradually grew up, no longer a useless scholar who talked about nothing.

When he matured, he found that it was impossible to quit the Mo family, so he took the initiative to ask Ying to be transferred out of the capital to lurk for Mo Zhai. It happened that at that time, Mo Zhai's plan for Shuoyue Island had already begun, and Shuoyue Island happened to lack manpower, so he was sent to Songtao City on the edge of Songtao Port.

More than 200 years have passed, and when I came to the city again, I saw the soul flags at the head of the city, and Yang with the wind, Wuqiu Shouton felt that the past was like smoke and the next day, and his fingers were trembling slightly. Then he stared at the huge blue bricks that had been built into the city wall, and after a long pause, he led his men into the city.

He came here this time for only one thing, that is, to talk about cooperation with the Wheel King for Xiao Shizhu. But after entering the city, Wu Qiu Shou was not in a hurry to find the reincarnation king, but first found a big inn to live in.

It wasn't until the next day that he took his men to carry the jewels to the Netherworld Fertile Stone Hall in the north of Luo Yu Mountain, where the Wheel King lived.

When I came to the front of the temple, I saw the main hall with the horizontal ridge connected end to end, which was gloomy. The turbid air of the Great Hall continued to overflow from under the stone slabs, enveloping the Great Hall and turning it into a foggy patch. Let the pillars, doors, walls and windows of the main hall become blurred and faint.

And the air around the main hall has also become extremely cold because of these gray fogs, so that the ghosts will involuntarily shiver when they stand on the edge of the main hall.

"Lord Wuqiu. An attendant who followed him tightened his clothes with a shudder, looked up at the good weather when the sky was cloudy and the sky was cloudless, and then withdrew his gaze and moved to the deserted door of the Netherworld Fertile Stone Palace, and asked in a stunned manner: "This hall is strange, I haven't entered it yet, and I feel cold in this beautiful weather." ”。

"That's because this temple is built on a fertile stone, which is where the five turbidities overflow. After Wu Qiu Shou replied, he stepped forward and said respectfully to the Yin soldiers guarding the door: "Master Jun, please give these two things to the Wheel King." Tell him that I have come to honor him on the orders of the ghost mother. ”。 As he spoke, he took out three objects from his bosom.

The first is the messenger token of the ghost mother country, the second is a list booklet, and the third is a silver ingot of fifty taels.

As soon as the Yin soldiers saw the silver ingot, they took it after a smile, and without saying a word, they went straight into their arms, and then picked up the other two things, looked left and right, and then dropped a cold sentence: "Wait." After that, he turned around and entered the dark and fertile stone hall behind the door, which was also gray and misty.

Wu Qiu Shou took his entourage and waited for a cup of tea outside the hall before he saw the Yin soldier walking back.

"Go in, the king has promised to see you. The Yin soldier beckoned to him. After Wuqiu Shou politely thanked him, he took out a piece of silver, stuffed it into the Yin soldiers, and then led his entourage towards the palace.

I entered the hall, but I saw that the hall was not only brightly lit, but also there was not a trace of gray mist, everything was clear and clear, and the chill naturally decreased a lot.

A master was waiting in the lobby early, and when he saw them enter the hall, he took them to the back hall without saying a word, and then turned around and left.

After looking around the back hall, Wu Qiu Shou was a little speechless in shock. But seeing that the furnishings are extremely simple, except for two Taishi chairs and a small table in the middle of the depths, there are no other luxurious things.
