[358] Back to the New Moon

The ghosts who have lived in the underworld for more than a hundred years know that the elusive sea cavalry is the ace sailor of the Emperor Xudu who crisscrosses the six seas of the underworld.

They are all composed of strong water ghosts, and the mounts under the crotch are all ten feet long and eight feet long.

Therefore, this cavalry came and went freely in the sea, and it was also the only sailor in the hands of Emperor Xudu who could compete with Xiao Shizhu's merman army.

What's more, there is a barrier of rock pillars outside Shuoyue Island, which is indeed not conducive to dispatching large warships to fight. However, the salmon, which is only ten feet long and wears a hard carapace, can shuttle freely between these rock pillars.

Moreover, the water reckless ghost can eat live fish for a living, eat salty and bitter sea water to quench his thirst, and he does not need to carry grain and grass to fight in the sea, and he will not be starved to death.

Therefore, this plan is indeed feasible.

But after thinking about it for a while, Emperor Xudu still felt that it was inappropriate, so he asked again: "If the water reckless ghost can't go ashore, how can he attack Shuoyue Island?"

"Your Majesty is trying to harass, not conquer. Gong Mingyi's face, which was still with a faint smile, suddenly appeared with a look of extreme caution, and hurriedly added: "With a strange soldier who does not need soldiers and horses to move grain and grass first, it is okay to constantly attack the sailors and merchant ships on Shuoyue Island, as well as the army of sharks in Xiao Shizhu's hands. The main thing is to stir up Shuoyue Island in a state of unrest, so that Xiao Shizhu has to be ready for a two-front battle at any time and is overstretched, so as to gain time for the imperial court to prepare for a counteroffensive. ”。

Emperor Xudu pondered for a moment, snorted through his nose but did not speak.

Gong Mingyi saw him silently, and said boldly: "If Your Majesty thinks that this plan is not possible, you can send a powerful air cavalry to accompany you, and when the naval cavalry makes the naval division on Shuoyue Island chaotic, it is okay to attack Shuoyue Island by air." ”。

"Your plan was good, but it wasn't perfect. Emperor Xudu's suddenly gloomy face showed a trace of impatience, and there was also a trace of cold murderous aura on his body, and the atmosphere in the huge hall became depressing again; ”。

Fang Cai was immediately worried because of his cold snort and murderous aura, and Gong Mingyi, who was nervous all over his body, finally secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

But before he could rejoice, Emperor Xudu, who had his back to him, asked bluntly: "What ghost is the general?"

"Huh?" Gong Mingyi blurted out a question, and slowly turned around with a stunned expression.

"What the hell is the general?" Emperor Xudu repeated, and also turned to face Gong Mingyi, staring at each other with two eyes that had constricted his pupils, his tall body blocked the light of the vast cloud of the sun outside the door, making Gong Mingyi, who stood on the opposite side with his head bowed down, and his face was completely shrouded in shadows.

Although this is obviously an opportunity, as long as the right generals are recommended and the Nine Shadows Kingdom is effectively attacked, then Gong Mingyi is naturally not far from glory and wealth; he didn't dare to raise his head, and quickly recalled the generals of the Beiyin Dynasty that he knew in his mind, but found that he was not familiar with the generals of the Beiyin Dynasty, and most of them only knew a name. At the moment, he didn't dare to speak indiscriminately, only the sweat on his forehead trickled down and dripped on the floor tiles in front of his shoes.

Gong Mingyi was helpless, and after muttering for a while, he had to shake his head lightly, and said cautiously: "The use of generals is really a major matter of the country, and the slave is just a eunuch, so don't dare to discuss it." ”。 The tone is long gone, and he was so angry when he gave him Emperor Xudu to analyze and conspire.

After speaking, he also got up silently, anxiously waiting for the Emperor Xudu to make a statement, signaling that he could leave this oppressive hall.

Emperor Xudu, who had been silent for a long time, looked at Gong Mingyi and decided to give his subordinates a slap before giving a date, or giving a date first and then a slap to make up for it, making it difficult for the ministers to guess his thoughts.

What's more, Gong Mingyi was in revenge for Xiao Shizhu, so he made compromises and endured humiliation, but in fact his ambitions were not small; Use him to make suggestions, just because he has a grudge against Xiao Shizhu, but he can't be reused.

Thinking of this, he glared angrily at the respectful little ghost in front of him, and after snorting heavily, he scolded in a deep voice: "It's still a ghost who knows how many pounds and taels he has, get out!" At the same time, he waved his hand impatiently and motioned Gong Mingyi to retreat quickly.

Gong Mingyi was suddenly relieved, and after hurriedly saluting, he walked away quickly around Emperor Xudu.

As soon as Gong Mingyi left, the face of Emperor Xudu, which had been gloomy for a long time, suddenly eased and calmed down. After sensing that the other party had gone away, he said in a flat tone to the messenger Gong Nu outside the palace gate: "Send an urgent envoy to Lethe Chuandu, so that Ma Nujin can come to see me quickly." ”......

In the dark night, the garden was very quiet, the birds had closed their eyes and slept, and the big flowers had also fallen asleep behind the gate.

Even Xiao Fuling, who was more than a person in the past, and who was constantly noisy, was a lot quieter, put away the naughty nature of the past and sat quietly on the edge of the bed in the depths of the building, holding in her hand the hand of the ghost mother who was still sleeping on the bed.

Only planted in the corners of the building, those shaped like rice leaves, are moving with the breeze, the cave grass is still constantly glowing with the soft blue light, echoing the palace lanterns in the palace.

In the past few days, the big ghosts have been busy with disaster relief outside the city, and the heavy responsibility of taking care of the ghost mother naturally falls on Chen Ruo and Xiao Fuling.

Tonight, after seeing that Chen Ruo, who had been taking care of him for three days, couldn't lift his eyelids, Xiao Fuling resolutely used the identity of the owner to order Chen Ruo to go to rest quickly, and took the initiative to take care of his mother at night.

After Chen Ruo, who couldn't resist her, left step by step, only she and the ghost mother were left in the huge attic, and Xiao Shizhu, who dragged his exhausted body from outside the palace and returned to the garden half an hour ago.

Glancing at the ghost mother's pale cheeks, which were already a lot ruddy, Xiao Shizhu, who was relieved, was urged by his daughter's concern, put on a cloak and lay on the bookcase in the building, with great relief and physical exhaustion, he soon fell asleep, and the snoring continued one after another.

Xiao Fuling, the only one who was awake, silently looked at her mother's peaceful face, and couldn't help but think of Senior Sister Xiaosi again. couldn't help frowning, and a faint anxiety appeared between his eyebrows.

Five days ago, the ghost mother took a risk to save Xiao Shizhu and injured her abdomen, but fortunately she did not hurt her internal organs and was not in danger of life, and after sewing up the wound with the help of Yingying, she was carried to the garden. After drinking the healing medicine soup Wuselu prepared by Ying Ying herself, she has been asleep until now.

Although Yingying's medical skills are exquisite, and she also told Xiao Fuling that the ghost mother is absolutely fine, and in private, Xiao Fuling also took advantage of Chen Ruo's inattention, and quietly picked up a little bandage on her mother's wound several times, observed the wound, and found that it was indeed healing. But seeing that her mother was always asleep, she was still a little anxious.

If it were replaced by other imps of the same age, I am afraid that I would have been so anxious that the six gods would have no master. But Xiao Fuling inherited her parents' character of not being afraid of heaven and earth, not to mention, she has long been used to seeing life and death. Although he was anxious, his face remained the same.

When Xiao Fuling was secretly anxious and cranky, she didn't notice her mother with her eyes closed, and the corners of her mouth moved slightly.

Immediately after, the hand of the ghost mother that was held by her trembled slightly. Xiao Fuling came to her senses from her stunned thoughts.

When she was still wondering if she was hallucinating, the ghost mother suddenly opened her eyes slightly and opened a thin slit, and at the same time, her slightly open lips also made a slight "woo" sound.

This time, Xiao Lingling not only saw it clearly, but also heard it clearly, and suddenly burst into joy, and her eyes were hot.

At the same time, not far away, there was also a series of falling sounds, followed by the "creaking" sound of the chair moving.

After a flustered noise, Xiao Shizhu, who was awakened, rushed over in a hurry, and asked urgently: "Is your mother awake, I seem to hear her calling me." ”。

The series of noises he made in a hurry woke up the big flower who was also asleep, and looked left and right in a daze.

As soon as the words fell, the ghost mother, who was already half-open, looked at the void above her head in a daze, moved her lips, and spat out weakly: "Husband......."

But five days of lethargy left her with no water, and her stomach was empty and weak, and she couldn't even speak.

"It's me, it's me. Xiao Shizhu's sleepiness disappeared, his heart trembled suddenly with joy, and he just took a step forward in front of the bed with an excited look on his face, and couldn't help but take a step forward, squatting down on the side of the bed, smirking tightly at the bed and tilting his head slightly, and also looking at his ghost mother. As if he was afraid that if he looked away, his wife would disappear.

Xiao Fuling, who was immediately well-behaved, also took a long breath and stood up, walked quickly to the table to find a glass of water, and brought it over.

Xiao Shizhu helped the ghost mother, who was still paralyzed and weak, to join and sit up, and asked Xiao Fuling to carefully feed the other party some water, and then said to Poria quickly: "Go and let Shangshan cook gruel." ”。

"Got it. Xiao Fuling smiled at her mother, who was looking at her with a relieved face, and then got up and walked out of the Juexiang Garden.

The ghost mother, who drank some water and had a little strength, turned her head slightly to look at Xiao Shizhu, and slowly opened her lips and asked weakly, "How is the earthquake?"

After listening carefully and feeding her some water, Xiao Shizhu helped her lie down slowly, and then said softly: "Worry about it, you don't care about these trivial matters if I am here." Moreover, the disaster relief work has been successfully completed, and Lu Wu and Wu Qiu Shou are presiding over the post-disaster reconstruction, so you can recuperate with peace of mind. ”。

"How many are dead?" the ghost mother asked after a deaf sigh of relief.

"Although thanks to the blessings of the palace enchantment and protective talisman, it did not cause a landslide in the city, but the earthquake came without warning, and the casualties were as high as more than 100,000 under surprise. Xiao Shizhuben's eyes were still flashing with excitement and joy, and suddenly became gloomy.

Under those ruins, there are scenes of desperate and dying souls, which are still vivid in my mind.

Xiao Shizhu thought about it for a while, and suddenly his expression became in a trance, and his eyebrows were a little sad.

"Let Ah San, the ghost officials of their city, spread this news to all parts of the underworld?" the ghost mother was stunned for a moment and then sighed and asked again.

has been with Xiao Shizhu for a long time, and she also understands that in the underworld, where there are many white dings and communication is slow and underdeveloped, public opinion can be reversed from black and white, and it can also be used as a weapon.

If the atrocity of Emperor Xudu can be publicized to the ghosts of the entire underworld, it will inevitably invisibly shake the throne of Emperor Xudu.

"Well, I've already explained this morning. Xiao Shizhu put his head a little heavier.

"Rest well. After a pause, he said indifferently: "In the past few days, I will take over the affairs of the DPRK and China first. ”。

"I'll do it anyway. The ghost mother smiled indifferently and said softly: "The plan we discussed secretly before has to continue." You should know that once Shuoyue Island wins, Emperor Xudu, a cautious eye, will inevitably fight back. ”。

The breeze passed through the door and blew towards the bed, Xiao Shizhu suddenly felt cold, but without saying a word, he pulled the brocade quilt first and helped the ghost mother gently get on.

"As planned, you should return to the New Moon to preside over the defense. The Ghost Mother stared at Xiao Shizhu, who was silent, and said, "If Emperor Xudu sends troops to attack again, defeat them and bring the courage and determination of the ghosts of the underworld to resist." ”。
