Xiao Shizhu held back his tears and hurriedly got up, first gave Chunyun who was standing outside the pavilion a look, and signaled her to retreat before raising Changqin's arms and asking honestly, "Prince Changqin, what are you doing here?" As he spoke, he exerted force in his hand and helped the long qin up.

When Changqin got up, Xiao Shizhu quietly rolled his eyes up and down and looked him carefully.

I haven't seen her for a few months, Changqin has lost a lot of weight, and there are a lot of messy stubble on her yellow cheeks and under her chin that should be white.

And the arrogance that used to hang between the eyebrows, and the self-confidence to show off the ambition, have long disappeared at this time, and the rest is only bitterness and unwillingness.

Although Xiao Shizhu was full of grief, he did not pity the other party in his heart. Changqin's ability to fall to today's fields is all caused by himself.

Xiao Shizhu also learned from the reports of the spies not long ago that when Changqin was fighting with Wu Hui, he was so stupid that he talked about benevolence, righteousness and morality to Wu Huijun, and after capturing the rebels, he also gave them good food and drink, and then showed great kindness and let them go after untying.

Changqin, who did not know the hard truth of not leading soldiers, shouted the slogan of revenge for his father while shouting the slogan of revenge for his father, and on the other hand, he did not kill all the rebels, and the people did not see hope in him Changqin, and it also encouraged the arrogance of the rebels; Such a banter.

At the same time, seeing that he had spared a large number of enemies, Changqin's subordinates were puzzled and also resentful of him; for a while, the army's spirit collapsed and could not be contained.

After his defeat, he was able to bring back 30,000 soldiers, which has to make people sigh that this is a complete 'miracle'.

Thinking about this, Xiao Shizhu suddenly sighed in his heart: "Changqin has led the troops and has not returned." ”。 At the same time, I also feel that compared with Julong, who was also the prince in the past, the prince in front of him is only suitable for being a minister who governs the country and manages the development of agriculture and commerce.

If he hadn't taken a fancy to Zhu Rongguo's land, this kind of ghost with no courage would have been posted to Xiao Shizhu as his subordinate, and he wouldn't have wanted it.

The grief between Xiao Shizhu's eyebrows suddenly became a little heavier, not grieving for Zhu Rong's death, but grieving for the prince in front of him, who was full of bookishness.

"I'm not a prince anymore. Changqin, who still had a little self-knowledge left, lowered his head and shook his head at the moment, and begged in an astringent voice: "Please ask the King of the Nine Shadows to do it for me, the exiled ghost master." I don't want to restore the country, but I want to kill Wu Hui. ”。

But seeing that because of the effect of tears, Changqin felt that he was righteous and emotional, so he no longer cared about gains and losses at the moment, and Xiao Shizhu was secretly happy.

But when he heard that he was still a little flickering, he didn't hesitate, and without hesitation, he struck while the iron was hot, and immediately said with righteous indignation: "I must have destroyed Wu Hui for you, such a ruthless and unrighteous person is the most ruthless ghost in my body! ”。

Shouting big words, this is also his forte, and as he spoke, his red eyes burst out with angry sparks, and he really looked a little impassioned. Dayou must help Changqin raise his eyebrows.

But this is far from enough, Xiao Shizhu still has to work hard if he wants to make Changqin die-hard allegiance, so he turned his face and looked sad again, beat his chest and feet with his hand with chili water, and quietly rubbed his eyes, and burst into tears: "Brother Zhurong, you died so miserably." ”。

Changqin saw that he was so sad, his heart was warm again, and he was greatly moved, and he was immediately convinced that Xiao Shizhu was a good ghost, and decided that he couldn't treat the other party badly, so he bent his knees again, knelt down, and knocked his head three times despite Xiao Shizhu's obstruction.

"Prince, what are you doing here? Xiao Shizhu looked embarrassed and went to help him again, but this time he didn't exert force in his hands, just made gestures with meaning.

Changqin raised his head, stared at Xiao Shizhu who was high above with reddish eyes, and blurted out sincerely: "If the King of the Nine Shadows can break the bastard Wu Hui into ten thousand pieces, Changqin is willing to hand over all the people of Zhurong Country in exchange for my father's death." ”。

After finishing speaking, he took out something from his sleeve and held it in both hands and dedicated it to Xiao Shizhu.

It was a blood-red jade no more than half the size of a palm, smooth and rectangular. In the middle, carved with three clumsy flame totems, arranged in a triangular shape, arching the word "Ling" engraved in the middle of the flame totem. There is a fine hole drilled in the middle of the top, and a bright yellow silk spike is tied to the hole.

Although Xiao Shizhu saw this thing for the first time, he also guessed that this was the legendary Xuanhuo Order that could mobilize the army of Zhurongguo.

It is said that this object is carved from a piece of 10,000-year-old blood and fire jade that is infused with the essence and blood of tens of millions of souls from the volcanic hell at the foot of Luo Yu Mountain. and the Fire King's other token, the Xuanhuo Seal, has always been inseparable.

However, judging from the current situation, it is nothing more than a rare jade with a relatively valuable value;

Therefore, with or without the Xuanhuo Order, it is no longer possible to increase the winning rate against Wu Hui. But it shows the sincerity of Changqin.

At that moment, Xiao Shizhu didn't think about it, and showed absolutely sincere disinterest in the Xuanhuo Seal, and pushed his hand back and refused: "This is a relic given to you by your father, you don't have to give it to me." I will definitely avenge you, but ......" After a sudden pause before the words were finished, he stopped talking.

The color of embarrassment slowly emerged between the eyebrows. Quietly waiting for the opening of the long piano to show loyalty.

"Although I am not as good as the king in leading troops to fight, I still have two brushes to govern the country. Seeing his pause, Changqin was slightly stunned, and the death of Xiao Dezi and his father's voice appeared in his mind, and he clenched his fists and said urgently: "As long as I can avenge my father, Changqin is willing to follow the King of Jiuyou to the death, and you will be the lord of the ministers in the future; And I wish the people of the land of Rongguo, the minister does not take it at all, and is willing to dedicate it all to the king. ”。

The words are sonorous and powerful, and they are loud and powerful.

Seeing that he was willing to be a minister to avenge his father, Xiao Shizhu knew that although most of this was moved by his fake crying, this ability to bend and stretch is indeed worthy of respect.

"Okay, I'll help you. Xiao Shizhu accepted it when he saw it, gritted his teeth and stomped his feet in response, and without waiting for Changqin to be overjoyed, he said again: "But my country has made a decision, not to mention the shortage of soldiers, and the four small countries in the southeast are eyeing you again; if you want to help you take revenge, can you lend me 15,000 soldiers first and help my country level the four small countries in the southeast first?"

Changqin didn't think much about it, stood up and stuffed the Xuanhuo Order into Xiao Shizhu's hand, took a step back and leaned over his hand, and said sincerely: "The 30,000 soldiers brought by the minister will be at the disposal of the lord from now on." ”。

Xiao Shizhu bowed slightly, lifted the Xuanhuo Order in the palm of his hand, and then stuffed it into the other party's hand, but secretly rejoiced in his heart: "My eyes have not been spicy for a long time in vain." ”......

In the south of Jiuyou Country, there are nine peaks and different ridges with the same potential, and they are arranged as nine stars; Among the peaks, each leads a stream, winding southward, flowing into the bottomless abyss south of the nine peaks.

To the south of the abyss, there is a dry land full of hard rocks and crimson sand, conglomerate and mudstone, which contrasts sharply with the green mountains and green waters of its western neighbor.

Except for a small oasis of drought-tolerant plants scattered around the natural springs scattered across the wasteland, the rest of the world is bleak plains and barren hills. As far as the eye can see, in addition to all kinds of rocks and laterite hills, only the howling wind that continues day and night, and the bones of all kinds of beast spirits left in this wasteland after they die.

This is the Howling Wind Plain, one of the many wastelands in Xuanyan Continent.

It's hard to imagine that such a barren and barren place is inhabited by ghosts. Coincidentally, three of the many vassal states of the underworld are located in the north of this wasteland.

If it is said that the Zhurong Kingdom, which is composed of huge stone forests, is a place where the entire underworld is rich in stones and fierce fire oil, then this seems to be a bird that does not lay eggs, and the underground of the Sanshou Kingdom, which is so desolate and lifeless, contains countless precious ores.

From the gold, silver, copper, iron and tin that even the human world has, to the unique black stone, soul breaking iron and dragon's lair iron unique to the underworld, and then from the fairy bone copper to the Taiyin purple gold and star marrow steel, they are all available.

The abundant mineral vein resources make it possible for the people of the three countries not to cultivate livestock and obtain abundant materials only by relying on minerals.

Since ancient times, this treasure land should have been coveted by other countries, but the three first countries were lucky; the surrounding small countries could not afford to capture it, while the big countries were busy competing with Zhurong countries. I can't take care of this treasure at all.

In addition, the three kings of the three kingdoms took the initiative to curry favor with the Gonggong, so such a small country still stands among the kingdoms of the underworld without falling.

But it was lucky, and it also came to an end with the collapse of the Communist Workers' State. Because it is a treasure land, it naturally became the first target of Xiao Shizhu to pacify the southeast.

The wind roared across the plains of the howling winds, a rampage that defied everything.

In the west of the Three Shou Kingdoms, only fifteen miles from the border of the Nine Hidden Countries, there was a clear spring among the scattered hills, gushing out of the dry earth. The plan is slightly irregular square, and the buildings are all built of heavy rammed earth castle, surrounded by springs.

The name of this city is called Tibetan wind, it is the fortress in the west of the three first countries, and at this time the city is full of nine dark flags.

Just when Xiao Shizhu was crying and wishing for Rong, he stood on the tower of the east gate of the city, wearing a mountain armor and a ghost, without saying a word, but raised his eyes to look at the eastbound and cloudy sunset, and the group headed eastward, gradually moving away.

"General. After the mission disappeared from sight, the adjutant general who followed him with a puzzled face hurriedly asked: "What are we going to do if we don't attack and don't agree to the peace agreement of the three countries?"

The ghost captive still stared ahead, and slowly spat out the word: "Wait." ”。
