"I'll report to your father in a moment, and when he nods, I can produce it in large quantities. Lai Yueqi smiled and stroked Xiao Ling's little brain.

The wind and rain outside the window are getting stronger and stronger, and the cool breeze that sweeps the raindrops to the earth is howling, blowing the windows of the main building of Juexiangyuan swaying. The strange flowers and plants in the building are also swaying left and right under the cool breeze.

"What about the sea?" Xiao Lingling nodded and let go of her hand, the joy and smile on her face that she had been hanging on her face gradually faded.

The blueprints of the fire dragon spear were brought by Hai Quan, and it stands to reason that this ghost is a great hero of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, but Xiao Shizhu has never allowed this ghost to enter the Nine Shadows Country, but asked Lu Wu to give him a lot of dark coins and a house in Yuque City, so that he can have a place to live in the Nine Shadows Country;

Xiao Fuling was still a little young and naïve; although a human soul like Hai Exhaustion was forced into desperation by the Beiyin Dynasty and came to seek refuge in the Nine Shadows Kingdom, his father also provided the Beiyin Dynasty with firearms technology first. Xiao Shizhu could take him in and buy the craftsmanship and technology in their hands at a high price, but he would never reuse him with kindness, let alone let him enter the core of the various departments of the Nine Shadows Kingdom.

This is both to use and to prevent. Only in this way can we ensure that the secrets of the Nine Shadows Kingdom will not be leaked and that advanced firearms technology will not flow out.

Lai Yueqi saw that she was frowning slightly and asked this, and knew that Xiao Lingling had a good thought, so she smiled and said: "Don't worry, I will report to him to invite merit, but whether you can get him an official and a half-position depends on your father's mood." ”。

At this time, the maids happened to come in to serve tea, Lai Yueqi simply stopped first, took Xiao Fuling to sit among the strange flowers and plants in the building, and took the hot tea brought by the maids to taste it carefully.

"Poria, after all, the sea exhaustion is from the Northern Yin Dynasty. And if it weren't for his father's plot, he would never have come to the Nine Shadows Kingdom, do you understand?" After the maids retreated, and only herself and Xiao Fuling were left in the building, Lai Yueqi held the quilt cover in her hand and gently scraped the tea powder in the cup: "The most important thing is that his father's technology for the fire dragon spear was first provided to the Xudu Army, and it is normal for your father to run out of seas." ”。

In the face of major rights and wrongs, Lai Yueqi will never act rashly; even though Hai Lao Weng is kind to her, and the fire dragon gun technology that Hai Lao Weng gave to the Xudu Army is flawed, Lai Yueqi completely agrees with Xiao Shizhu's decision on whether to reuse Hai Quan.

"Hmm. Xiao Fuling nodded as if she didn't understand, and after a while, she asked thoughtfully: "The key is that they first sold the fire dragon spear technology to the Northern Yin Dynasty, so my father didn't dare to reuse the sea exhaustion?

"Hmm. Lai Yueqi smiled lightly, put down the teacup and looked at Xiao Lingling thoughtfully, and said slowly: "This is what your father often told you about employing people; ”。

Lai Yueqi also mixed in the black market before entering the palace, and there were many ghosts under her command; to manage these ghosts, she had to use human methods.

Obviously, Lai Yueqi knows how to govern people better than Xiao Fuling at this time. It was precisely because of her point that Xiao Lingling suddenly became enlightened and learned a lot from it.

"That's right. At that moment, Xiao Fuling was no longer puzzled, and smiled with relief: "If Hai Quan's father is not plotted, we may not know about the fire dragon spear so far, let alone the technology of the fire dragon spear in our hands, and improve it; ”。

"So, it's not that your father is ruthless, but that Hai Quan's father and son can't be fully trusted!" Lai Yueqi slowly turned her head, looked at Xiao Fuling, and said solemnly: "Imagine, if Hai Laoweng is not plotted, or he didn't expect that he will be plotted, he left a suicide note in advance for Hai Qian to defect to the Nine Shadows Country, will the technology of the fire dragon gun still flow into our country?"

"I see. Xiao Fuling, who had fully awakened, shouted to Lai Yueqi: "That Sun Yueniang, you said to Hai Yu that you would report to my father and give him a chance to serve the Nine Shadows Kingdom, which is nothing more than kind words on the table." ”。

"You're clever. After praising her, Lai Yueqi pursed her lips and chuckled: "But you know this, don't spread it." ”。

"Hey, hey. Xiao Fuling also smiled, and then nodded in response.

"Lord Weng. Just as she answered, Fan Jinhong, who was now only one-armed, strode in, stood still in front of her, and said loudly: "Lord Wu Xiaoshen, the commander of Yuque City, asks to see you." ”。

"It's so late, did he say something?" After looking at the dark sky outside the window, Xiao Fuling turned back and looked at Fan Jinhong with a slight frown.

"It's for the prisoners who participated in the rebellion of Chang Wusui and Ju Ling a few days ago. Fan Jinhong returned with a slight chin of his head.

"Let him in. Xiao Lingling said and raised her teacup again.

"No. After answering, Fan Jinhong retreated.

After a while, wearing Wu Ben on his head, wearing a crimson straight-necked silk robe, with a small ash of water cangyu and witch hanging around his waist, he scratched his ears and scratched his cheeks and walked in.

As a monkey demon in the demon soul, Wu Xiaoshen is the same as his father Wu Zhiqi, he feels uncomfortable without scratching his ears and cheeks for a minute, and the ghosts who have dealt with their father and son know their little problem, and they will naturally not bother with them over time.

"Lord Weng, Mrs. Lai. Standing still in front of Xiao Fuling, Wu Xiaoshen first saluted respectfully to the two ghosts, and then began to scratch his ears and cheeks in a natural way: "The more than 600 captives who participated in the rebellion before, the lord and the mother of the country all said that it was up to you to decide. ”。

At this time, Xiao Fuling had already made a plan, and she didn't think much about it at the moment, but just said lightly: "Are the counties of Nanban repairing canals and official roads? Just hand them over to Lord Julong and let him call for things such as building canals and official roads." ”......

Fenglinzhou, on the southern border of the bear country, where the army led by Li Mu and Nulu was stationed before, on the scorched earth, there was a strong wind with a slight smell of gunsmoke blowing, blowing the blood-colored powder that was turned into a body on the ground, and it was raised with the wind.

Ji Meng led a large army to attack this place at night, and after almost destroying the Youxiong army stationed here, he built his own camp on the blood-colored powder turned into their corpses.

Ji Meng was not in a hurry to march into the army; first, the rainy season in Fenglinzhou had arrived, and there was a light rain in three days and a heavy rain in two days. The firearms of the Northern Yin Dynasty are not waterproof, and once they are wet in the wild, they will naturally not be able to fire.

Moreover, when an offensive is launched during the rainy season, the muddy ground will only make the march only slow and not fast.

Second, he was waiting for a weapon, a weapon called the Fire Dragon Lance.

Although Ji Meng had never seen a fire dragon spear, as far as he knew, this new type of musket could fire fire. When a firebomb hits the ground or hits the target and explodes, it will burst into a ball of flames, which is not small in power and damage range.

Coupled with the bombardment of the Nether Ghost Cannon, the Xudu Army will be like a tiger.

On the night when he attacked the Nulu camp at night and blew Li Mu into slag with artillery hits, he received a quick message from Liutianzhou. It is said that the first batch of fire dragon spears produced has been divided into two, half of which was given to King Taishan in Dongyizhou, while the rest has been loaded onto the ship and will be transported to Ji Meng.

Therefore, Ji Meng did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, and simply camped in the place where there was a garrison of the Bear Country in the past, and set up a camp by the mountains and rivers, and built the deer trench and gun towers all over the camp, and surrounded the entire military camp like a copper wall and iron wall.

In this way, the Xiong army retreated in the poor mountain city not far away, and felt very uneasy; Ji Meng's camp could attack the city, retreat to hold the grain route of the Xudu army, and even in less than half a cup of tea, he could return to the cabinet county behind him.

And the Xiong army was afraid of the artillery and muskets in Ji Meng's hands, and it was neither advancing nor retreating, and the two sides were simply deadlocked.

In the evening, dark clouds suddenly appeared over the blue sky, and a howling wind suddenly appeared, followed by more and more rapid showers. In less than a moment, the entire barracks of the Xudu Army were already covered with mud.

In the brightly lit tent of the Chinese army, Ji Mengdu, who had not yet taken off his armor, stood in front of the map, staring at the terrain on the map in a daze.

Although the night attack that day killed Li Mu and dealt a big blow to the Youxiong National Army, it made Ji Xuanyuan's daughter Nulu run away, and at this time, Nulu was hiding in the poor mountain city not far away.

This little girl is well-known for being able to fight well, but Ji Meng is not afraid of Li Mu, and he doesn't even take Ji Xuanyuan's number one general Ying Long in his eyes. These ghosts all carry the fame boasted of the official history of the world, and when it comes to marching and fighting and arranging troops, they are even inferior to women.

Therefore, as soon as the fire dragon spear arrived, Ji Meng had to storm the poor mountain city and capture or kill the female lu alive.

"Great. While Ji Meng was intently studying the terrain on the map, his lieutenant strode in.

"Have you found out?" the ghost general had just stood beside Ji Meng, and Ji Meng asked without hurrying, but his eyes were still wandering on the map in front of him.

"Yes, I found it out. The spies who infiltrated the poor mountain city with our army reported that the female lu had been languishing, depressed and decadent for the past few days. After the ghost general saluted, he nodded slowly and returned: "And Ji Xuanyuan has also urgently mobilized an army of 100,000 and has rushed to the city." But because of the sudden arrival of the army, it made the ghosts and ghosts in the city panic. ”。

"Even if there is no sudden movement of this 100,000 army, it is impossible for the fortress of this city to be stable and peaceful. Ji Meng closed his eyes slightly, pondered for a moment after a sentence, frowned and said suspiciously: "It's that the attitude of the female lu is a little abnormal. ”。

"She is a famous ghost general in the underworld, and she knows that victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, how can she care about temporary gains and losses?" After glancing at the puzzled lieutenant general, Ji Meng frowned a little tighter.

"Do you suspect that she is deliberately pretending?" exclaimed the lieutenant, and then muttered suspiciously, "but she doesn't know that there are our spies in the city, who is she pretending to be?"

"It means that she already knows about the spies, and you have to quickly inform the patrol ghost general and ask him to strengthen his defense and vigilance. Ji Meng's heart jumped, and he gave a categorical order to the ghost.

"Could it be that you're too nervous. The ghost general smiled indifferently and said with some disapproval.

But before his words landed, there were bursts of screams in the wind and rain outside the tent. Ji Meng was stunned, and strode out of the big tent after secretly screaming in his heart.

The ghost general hurried to follow.

As soon as he came out, he saw the west side of the camp, and the flames were noisy in the wind and rain; thick smoke could be seen billowing between the military tents, the sound of swords clashing, the shouts of ghosts, and the heart-rending screams mixed together, and the misery was unusually terrible.

The Xudu army was completely unexpected, and the cavalry of the bear country came out of the wind and rain like a lightning speed, and caught them off guard.
