[136] Hiding a knife in a smile

After thinking for a while, Changqin smiled slightly, gently spit out two words in his mouth, and said, "Sixty percent." ”。

Xiao Shizhu smiled without saying a word, closed his eyes, and insisted on his previous conditions in silence.

In the Absolute Fragrance Garden, it was quiet, and even the birds that were still chirping before suddenly shut up. The atmosphere in the quiet is not a trace of peace, but a little more competitive.

It's just that at this time, no one put their minds on the sudden atmosphere.

Seeing that Xiao Shizhu's face was calm and unwavering, Changqin's heart moved, and the ghost opposite was always so calm and calm, and he was not surprised, which made him feel a little more curious.

Then he regained his impatience, leisurely raised the teacup, took a sip of tea, smashed his lips, and said, "Fifty into five, no less." ”。

Xiao Shizhu was indifferent when he heard this, still closed his eyes, and gently shook the rocking chair, showing a comfortable appearance. After a while, his lips moved, and he said bluntly: "It must be fifty percent." ”。

If the co-workers knew that these two ghosts had used all the property he had accumulated over thousands of years as bargaining chips to negotiate, and they were so light-hearted, I don't know how they would feel?

"Fifty percent, I'll take you to eat delicious food tonight, have fun fun, and have all the sounds and dogs and horses, and promise to entertain you until you're happy. After Changqin was silent for a long time, Xiao Shizhu opened a slit in his eyes slightly, glanced at Changqin and then slowly closed it, and said lightly: "On the day you return to China, I will give you a thousand sets of stainless steel armor." ”。 The final concession was made.

After Changqin secretly calculated carefully in his heart, he didn't see Xiao Shizhu let go after a while, so he had no choice but to nod and say with a smile: "Deal." ”。

"Wait. His smile just appeared, and Xiao Shizhu said categorically: "There is no basis for words, and words are based on evidence." ”。 After speaking, she clapped her hands gently, and then in the direction of the door, there was a sudden "squeak" sound at the door, and Ghost Qian'er held the pen, ink, paper and inkstone that had been prepared, and walked in slowly.

After the agreement was written and the two parties signed and drawn, Xiao Shizhu looked at the black and white words on the agreement, and sighed with a smile: "To do business, you have to do it with a ghost like you, the prince, refreshing!" In a few words, what was supposed to be a tense diplomatic negotiation was said by Xiao Shizhu to be an easy deal.

"Hopefully we will have more opportunities to work together in the future. Changqin also followed the customs of the locals, and followed his words.

"There will be. Xiao Shizhu put the agreement on the bookcase and said, "Please go to the Honglu Temple to rest first, and I will take you to play in the evening." ”。

After a moment, when she saw Changqin get up to say goodbye and disappear from sight, the ghost mother suddenly asked: "Fifty percent, is it a loss or a gain?"

"Of course it's earned. The central part of Chutian County is open, and it is close to the river and is a good cultivated land. Xiao Shizhu faced the direction of the gate, stood with his hands in his hands, and slowly analyzed with a faint smile on his face: "The mineral output is also very rich, gold, silver, copper, iron, aluminum, tin, jade, as well as danzhen, qingyu and so on. And now we have few small ghosts, all the land is collected, and the property is divided into 50 percent; they have many big ghosts, but the land is not gained, and the property is also 50 percent, of course, we have earned. ”。 As he spoke, he remembered the reaction ability of Prince Changqin, and couldn't help but feel a little admiration for this soul.

"Prince Changqin, he is really a powerful human soul, but I'm afraid I'm about to be unlucky. After a moment, Xiao Shizhu sighed and shook his head.

"Why is that?" the ghost mother looked at his sturdy and broad back with a puzzled expression.

"Do you remember the plan that Changqin proposed before, saying that he made it with his father and uncle?" Xiao Shizhu turned around, looked at the ghost mother's puzzled, but somewhat curious face hidden in it, and said leisurely: "Such a clear-eyed ghost who has fought for several years can see the plan full of loopholes, his uncle who has been in a hundred battles and has been on the battlefield for a long time can't see it?"

"Well, that's a bit suspicious indeed. After he reminded him, the ghost mother also remembered this matter, and couldn't help but be suspicious again, and asked Xiao Shizhu in a cutting voice: "Then you dare to cooperate with them?

"There's nothing to dare to, he has his and he doesn't have us. Xiao Shizhu smiled slightly, walked slowly behind her, raised his hand and continued to pinch her shoulder: "Besides, if you take 10,000 steps back, it is coming towards us, then you can also push the boat with the water, and even if there is no Zhu Rongguo, it will be a matter of time before we win the Gonggong." ”。 As he spoke, he always had a faint confidence on his face.

"The battle of the Communist Workers' Republic will not be fought for a while and a half, and all kinds of preparations must be made in at least three or five months, and things here should be prepared first. After a while, he suddenly stopped, put away the faint smile on his face, and muttered in a deep voice: "What I'm most worried about now is still over there." ”。 Between the eyebrows, a trace of nervousness flashed.

Ever since he began to deceive the officials from Emperor Xudu, he did not dare to relax his vigilance for a moment, and he personally deliberated and arranged any details, and did not dare to be sloppy and careless.

After all, the opponent is not so easy to deal with, and Xiao Shizhu felt for the first time that he was as small as dust.

Regardless of whether the other party is the last ancient god, he must have the mighty divine power that breaks the heavens and the earth, just say that the other party dared to face the ancient gods alone back then, and finally won the victory, you will know how good this god's means are.

When he has not completely defeated his opponent, Xiao Shizhu will always be shrouded in the shadows that emanate from him.

And in the face of such an old monster with scheming, means and divine power, Xiao Shizhu made a move that was diametrically opposed to the past. His old giggling, and his overconfidence in being able to wipe out his enemies in the heat of conversation and laughter, has never been evident in this matter. Every move is serious and cautious.

"You can rest assured. The ghost mother turned her head to look, but after seeing that Xiao Shizhu's face was a little heavy, and there was still a trace of imperceptible nervousness in the depths of her eyes, she patted his hand on her shoulder, and said softly and comfortingly: "As long as the Wheel King accepts our gift, this matter will definitely be done for you." ”。

"Hmm. Xiao Shizhu nodded his head, still looking at the green grass outside the door in front of him, and was stunned by the flowers.

After a short silence, but after seeing Ghost Qian'er, who had gone to send Changqin out of the palace, turned back, a strange gaze suddenly burst out of his eyes, and then he opened his mouth and shouted outside the door: "Qian'er, I'm bothering you to run and call Chengruo." The face was still dark.

After half a cup of tea, Chen Ruo rubbed his sleepy eyes and came to the flower room of Juexiangyuan.

Last night, she was on duty for Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother, so she was pulled up from the bed by Ghost Qian'er just now, so she had this appearance that she hadn't woken up at all.

After Xiao Shizhu waved his hand, Ghost Qian'er retreated, closed the door with her hand, and left Chenruo, who was still a little sleepy, in the flower room.

"Sit down. Xiao Shizhu put his hand up and down, and said, "I'm sorry to disturb your sleep." ”。

"It's nothing, there's something you command. Chen Ruo said and yawned involuntarily, but before he was completely finished, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly shut up.

"Yawn, hit if you want. Xiao Shizhu smiled, walked back to the rocking chair and sat down, and said, "Did you send the letter to Emperor Yudu this month?"

"Well, I've been in contact on a regular basis. Chen Ruo sat where Changqin was sitting before, and his face gradually became a little puzzled, and he asked, "What's wrong?"

"How did you write that?" Xiao Shizhu asked casually.

"At your request, write you as a bad guy who either goes to the kiln or the casino. And he is immersed in the pride of winning the ghost kingdom and the kingdom of the head, and it is difficult to extricate himself. Without thinking, Tatsuruo replied, "Then he said, "My lord is seeking a job for you." ”。

She was originally a secret agent planted by the Emperor Xudu next to the ghost mother, but she had already secretly defected.

Thousands of years ago, not long after she came to Xiaoyu Mountain City, by chance, the ghost mother knew her secret agent's identity. But for the reason that Emperor Xudu was moody, and if she was assassinated, Emperor Xudu would send another secret envoy, and then the open spear would become a hidden arrow, and it would be difficult to hide.

So, the ghost mother never touched her.

Hundreds of years have passed, and the two sides are at peace. Until more than 500 years ago, the ghost kingdom attacked the island, and Xiaoyu Mountain City was besieged. The ghost mother supervises the battle at the head of the city day and night, and Chen Ruo is like a shadow. But he was accidentally shot in the left abdomen by a random arrow.

It was originally a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if Chen Ruo's wound was left alone, he could not only pull out the eyes of Emperor Xudu on Shuoyue Island, but also not offend the other party;

But looking at Chen Ruo's painful and angry face, she finally gritted her teeth and called the imperial doctor.

The Ghost Mother ordered the Imperial Doctor to save Chenruo no matter what. In addition to being a secret agent, she is also doing her best to take care of herself, and she has good thoughts between this thought. After the war, she often went to take care of the seriously injured Tatsuruka.

Over time, Chen Ruo looked at the words and deeds of the ghost mother, and then recalled that when he was in Xudu, he was abused and abused in the scout camp, and finally had to work hard for the instructors and the instructors' superiors, Emperor Xudu, and he was very angry. And for the needs of the mission, he was forced to take yellow thorn and sterilized it when he was an adult.

The more he thinks about these old things, the more Chen Ruo itches the roots of his teeth for the Xudu regime.

So, the first thing she said to the ghost mother after the injury was healed: "My lord, thank you for taking care of me like a sister." ”。

The ghost mother was slightly stunned, for the first time she saw a sincere smile on this woman's face, so she also said, "We were originally sisters. ”。 Since then, Chen Ruo has obeyed the ghost mother......

"By the way, Emperor Xudu also asked me if my lord knew that the bull head and horse noodles were also his secret agents. Chen Ruo pondered for a moment, and then said: "After discussing with my master, I decided to reply that after investigation, my master only knew that they were the servants of the Emperor Xudu who had given them to the ghosts, and did not know that they were secret agents. ”。

Xiao Shizhu glanced at the ghost mother when he heard this, and after seeing that the other party nodded to indicate that there was indeed such a thing, he looked at Chen Ruo, and said with a slight chin bow: "It was handled very decently." ”。

"But he's not easy to deceive. The voice had just landed, and Chen Ruo kindly reminded: "So general, you should have secretly gone to the Qinglou and the casino in the past, and you have to take a look." ”。 She used to be a secret agent of Emperor Xudu, and she knew that Emperor Xudu would not be stupid enough to send only one spy to her, otherwise his throne would have been lost.

"Uh-huh. Xiao Shizhu tilted his head, withdrew his gaze from her face and looked at the smiling ghost mother, revealing a sly smile.

The mountain breeze "whirred", blowing in from outside the house through the window flowers, bringing bursts of fragrance, and also bringing Xiao Shizhu's whisper: "Since I can play, why don't I do it......?"

To the east of Liutianzhou, on the north bank of the Lechuan River.

Patches of domed military tents are neatly arranged on the empty hundred-mile coastal plain, forming an endless camp.

Numerous antlers and horses circled the edge of the camp, forming a long barrier to guard the camp.

There are countless flags in the camp, waving in the wind. Groups of mighty and majestic troops were interspersed between the tents, taking neat and powerful steps, shuttling back and forth.

The spears and spears clenched tightly in their hands pointed at the sky in unison, like a mountain of swords, and under the light of the cloudy sun, they shimmered with a cold light full of murderous aura.

The deepest part of the camp, on the coast. King Qin Guang stood facing the sea with his hands in his hands, silently looking at the two choppy seas in front of him.

He didn't bring a single soldier by his side, only the soul of Gong Mingyi.

Since he made a meritorious contribution in the last battle of Fengyan City and was praised by Emperor Xudu, King Qin Guang has completely regarded this little ghost as a confidant, and he can take him with him at any time, so as to better advise him.

At this moment, King Qin Guang was looking at the huge waves surging in front of him, roaring from a distance, roaring and rushing over without hesitation. Hitting the reef under his feet again, it collapsed at the touch of a button, retreated back and instantly merged with the waves behind him. Only the sound of the waves and the sound of the wind were mixed together, lingering in the ears of King Qin Guang for a long time.

All this made King Qin Guang's chest boiling, excited, and a little fluttering.

On the other side of this sea is the Kingdom of Escaped Gods that they are about to attack after a short rest. There is a new opportunity to make meritorious contributions, it is nothing more than a sea away, so close, how can King Qin Guang not be excited?

It is strange to say that in front of King Qin Guang, there are obviously two oceans, but he can see at a glance where the boundary is. Ahead of his feet, a very clear boundary, curled like a long serpent, stretched forward into the distance of the sky beyond his gaze.

The ocean north of the dividing line is as blue as glass, the waves are bright and clear as a mirror, and even the sea breeze and waves are much more peaceful.

The ocean to the south, however, is boundless and turbid, with strong waves and strong winds, like a lion's roar and a tiger's roar all year round.

Between a clear and a turbid, the clear water in the north and the turbid water in the south are in the same flow and an ocean, but they are connected to each other but do not blend with each other.

"Back then, the ancient gods saw that this Qinglong sea water could not be integrated into this Yellow Spring Sea, and the Yellow Spring Sea Water was also like this, and they suddenly had inspiration in their hearts. The sea breeze ruffled his Qin Guangwang's hair, but he didn't care. After glancing at the Qinglong Sea in the north, he quickly turned his head to look at the turbid Huangquan Sea in the south, and said slowly to Gong Mingyi, who was not far behind him: "Therefore, they created the Jingwei River in the world. ”。 His voice trembled as he couldn't suppress the excitement that kept rising in his heart

and thus slightly hoarse.

Gong Mingyi didn't squeak and talk, nor did he glance at the two magical oceans, just staring at the south, not far from the source of the Lechuan River.

He quietly watched the turbid sea water, rolling up countless huge waves several feet high, pouring into the river like thousands of horses, and instantly turning into blood-yellow river water.

His eyes were focused, as if he was more interested in why the sea water had just entered the river and immediately turned blood-yellow.

He was silent, but King Qin Guang didn't know that he was bored, but said more happily; anyway, Gong Mingyi is such a soul, and when he doesn't do the right thing, he is always silent. After getting along for a long time, King Qin Guang, who was not used to it, got used to it a lot, so he didn't bother to bother with him.

He gugged about the great achievements of the old gods, and the more he spoke, the louder and more passionate his tone became. It wasn't until he suddenly felt dry that he stretched out his tongue and licked his somewhat dry lips that Gong Mingyi said lightly: "You'd better stop talking about the deeds of the ancient gods in the future." ”。

King Qin Guang was slightly stunned, turned his head and glanced at his thin back, and asked stupidly: "Why?"

Gong Mingyi took a deep breath and said, "Emperor Xudu doesn't like it. ”。 The tone was as calm as ever, unfazed and somewhat calm and composed, as if the words were said casually.

The focused gaze in his eyes never withdrew from the source of the Lechuan River. It's just that deep in the seemingly calm eyes, there is infinite ambition and hatred and anger that go deep into the bone marrow.

After he reminded him, King Qin Guang thought that all the ancient gods were the mortal enemies of Emperor Xudu. Although those ancient gods have long since died to the point that they are no longer even bone, for the Emperor Xudu, they will always be the thorn in the eye and the thorn in the flesh of the Emperor Xudu, and the invisible hat with the word "anti-thief" written on their heads will never be able to take off.

King Qin Guang only thought about it slightly, and then suddenly felt reasonable, so he nodded "um" and kept this reminder in mind.

"Have you heard? Cloudy and repeated, I also participated in this king's book. After a while, King Qin Guang once again looked at the endless waves in front of him, and the blood in his chest increased instead of decreasing, but his face was slightly frowned, and he said in a deep voice: "It is said that this king will do whatever it takes to make meritorious contributions." ”。 After finishing speaking, he sneered.

"I heard. Gong Mingyi still didn't look back.

After a pause, he added: "But we won, so don't be afraid." ”。 There was not the slightest fear between his eyebrows, and there was still a faint confidence.

He knew exactly what Emperor Xudu wanted. As long as he wins, it doesn't matter what means he wins. Therefore, this so-called small report does not scare Gong Mingyi at all.

He also knew that in the eyes of this Lord of the Underworld, all other souls except himself were grass mustard, and they could sacrifice for his throne and his safety anytime and anywhere.

Therefore, Gong Mingyi was completely fearless about the bad idea he gave to King Qin Guang, because he knew that Emperor Xudu only needed to win. And he was so calm, King Qin Guang naturally didn't have much to worry about what he did after following his strategy.

In the hearts of the two ghosts, there is not even a little guilt.

"If they continue to charge me with ......" Although he was not worried, King Qin Guang couldn't help but be curious in his heart, and wanted to listen to Gong Mingyi's advice, so after a pause, he asked again: "What should I do?"

"Take it all. Gong Mingyi said lightly without thinking.

While acknowledging these mistakes, Shangjiao explained that these mistakes were made in order to ensure victory in the war, and to say more good things for the two Yin Marshals. Gong Mingyi's voice was very soft, and in the roaring sea breeze and the roar of the waves, he seemed weak and weak: "It's best to give them all the credit, so that the rewards you will give will be more and more." ”。

King Qin Guang heard it very clearly, and bowed his head slightly after hearing the words, in agreement; now he is no longer a ghost who only knows how to be greedy for money, he understands a little bit, for this war, whoever wants to make Emperor Xudu victorious, who is qualified to be reused.

Now, he's the one who qualifies.

And if he wants to get back his lost rights, he must be like Gong Mingyi, and do whatever it takes to ensure his own interests. So he not only bowed his head slightly, but then let out a heavy "um!"

Finally, the moment Gong Mingyi heard his "um" word come out, he slowly withdrew his gaze from the source of the Lechuan River, and then turned around and slowly came to stand beside him, standing side by side with him.

After looking around left and right for a long time, and making sure that there were no other ghosts except for the two of them, he took out a recital from his sleeve and quickly stuffed it to King Qin Guang: "How to collect all the charges in the recital, I have already written it for you." ”。

King Qin Guang unfolded it and took a look, but saw that there was not much content on it, and he could read it all at most in a few glances. I saw his eyes roll up and down, and after a moment of moving his gaze between the lines, he suddenly closed the notebook, and a smug smile appeared on his face.

"When I go back, I'll copy a copy of it, and then I'll play it for the capital immediately. King Qin Guang took the notebook into his arms.

"No, you can't. Gong Mingyi shook his head slightly, closed his eyes slightly, and said softly: "You have to wait for Emperor Xudu to receive their many visits to your recital, and then send this book; ”。

"And I'm sure they won't take you across the sea again this time, but you can't be convinced. Wait patiently until they have suffered defeat and Emperor Xudu personally asked you to cross the sea to quell the rebellion, and then set off for the Kingdom of the Gods. The tone was calm, not hurried or slow, as if it had been predicted that cloudy days and repeated days would naturally suffer defeat.

The faint smile on his face was a little more like a knife in his smile at this time.
