In the gloomy and damp dungeon, Gong Mingyi's back spine was cold.

Xiao Shizhu outside the door, don't care about these. took the hot tea handed by Fan Jinhong, waved his hand to signal Fan Jinhong to step back first, and then took the teacup cover without hurry, and leisurely scraped the tea powder in the cup.

Finally, slowly, I blew the hot air rising from it.

After Gong Mingyi was behind the prison door, he thought that there would be no better life in the future, but he was not afraid, so that he would have a chance to start over. was afraid that Xiao Shizhu would take him to humiliate the Beiyin Dynasty, and Emperor Xudu had to be angry with him in order to endure the humiliation.

If he is cut to the people because of this, or even a slave, he will have no chance to fight with Xiao Shizhu again in the future.

"You, you're not a person!" Suddenly, Gong Mingyi, who was opposite Xiao Shizhu, finally opened his mouth, his lips trembled, and he scolded: "It's too vicious, it's too vicious!"

"I'm not a human anymore, I'm just a ghost now. Xiao Shizhu smiled and took a sip of tea.

Just after swallowing the tea, Xiao Shizhu glanced up, and Xiao Shizhu saw what Gong Mingyi, the enemy opposite, was afraid of. It's just that he is afraid that Emperor Xudu will abandon him in the future, and then Gong Mingyi will live like no one and no ghost.

And Gong Mingyi was unwilling to cut himself off, so he scolded Xiao Shizhu for being vicious.

Speculating on people's hearts, Gong Mingyi is really inferior to Xiao Shizhu. Xiao Shizhu immediately knew what Gong Mingyi was afraid of. But now, Gong Mingyi still can't see through Xiao Shizhu on the other side.

"Dealing with you ghosts who don't pay attention to ghost lives and take pleasure in enslaving all the ghosts in the world is not called vicious. Xiao Shizhu put down the teacup and continued to look directly at Gong Mingyi, who was trembling in the prison door, still so calm, and said slowly: "But you don't have to be afraid, you still have the opportunity to bring what I said to the old ghost of Xudu." Tell him the revenge of killing his father, and I Xiao Shizhu will take revenge. And he enslaved the soul of the human soul and threw it into the furnace for alchemy, and I, Xiao Shizhu, would not tolerate it. The blood debt is repaid, and the ghost people are powerless to take revenge, so I will do it for them. The old ghost of Xudu is waiting for me to drink Ma Lichuan, and on the day of the six days, we will calculate these accounts slowly. ”。

"Also, I heard that there is an ancient god throne more than three zhang high in the Six Heavens God and Ghost Palace, which is made of all kinds of gems from the Netherworld and Luodian, forged with all the rare metals of the Netherworld, and carved with cloisonné. But he was drunk with the old ghost's imperial power, and he didn't dare to sit down, and he was reluctant to destroy it. Then let him show me this throne, and when I hit the capital and this chair is missing or broken, I will cut off his fingers and toes before he dies, and let him die slowly in agony. With that, Xiao Shizhu stood up.

It smelled bad in this cell, and he didn't want to stay long. I came here to show off my might with Gong Mingyi and ensure that Gong Mingyi lived. Now that the goal has been achieved, it is no longer interesting to stay, Xiao Shizhu plans to leave this dark dungeon.

"By the way, I've received the news that the old ghost of Xudu will definitely exchange a lot of supplies for you. We'll also let you go when we get the supplies we want. Although the old ghost will be angry because of this, he will have to reuse you. You are a general with combat experience with our army, and you are his rare genius, so your head will not fall off, and maybe you can be promoted. In this way, you Gong Mingyi is also a beneficiary. When I go back in the future, remember to be more good with me, and don't put charges that are not my business on my head every day. After Xiao Shizhu finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Gong Mingyi was left alone to sit behind the prison door, trembling with anger again. But he couldn't take Xiao Shizhu's anger, and he was even more angry.

After watching Xiao Shizhu leave for a long time, he calmed down. After thinking about it carefully, thinking that there would be a chance to live, Gong Mingyi gave up the idea of self-destruction under his anger.

And Xiao Shizhu, who went out, walked out of the dungeon with his daughter, Xiao Fuling's eyes rolled, and he immediately asked Xiao Shizhu: "Father, are you going to the dungeon to make Gong Mingyi have more desire to survive." ”。

"See?" Xiao Shizhu, who was walking in the wind, smiled and asked.

"Hmm. Xiao Fuling, who nodded lightly, said bluntly: "My father is afraid that he will die, and this blackmail of the Northern Yin Dynasty will not be done." No wonder my mother and Yueniang always say that you are obviously the material for the Emperor of Hades, but you always have the shadow of Scrooge. ”。

"Hahaha. When Xiao Shizhu heard this, he was not angry but happy, and after laughing a few times, he said: "Without your father and me, the miser, we would not be able to build today's Nine Shadows Kingdom." ”。

While speaking, the father and daughter had already followed the fishing line into the military yamen. I'm going to go to the backyard and rest.

"Yu Xuan, go and invite Ji Kang and Jiang Ziwen over. Xiao Shizhu, who was standing in front of the backyard door, thought about it and ordered: "Invite the loess over as well, and Yingzhao will recruit a national teacher Yingying, as well as look for incense." ”。

"Yes. Yu Xuan replied and turned to leave.

"Father, I'm leaving tonight. Although I am also very interested in this extortion, Yueniang said that she missed me and wanted me to go back, and I have been out for a month, so it is time to go back. Xiao Fuling, who was beside her, looked at her tall father with her head high, blinked and asked, "Are you coming back in a few days?"

"yes, I'll go back when this is done. Otherwise, your mother will count me down again. When Xiao Shizhu said this, what he was secretly thinking about in his heart was Lai Yueqi's abnormality.

Lai Yueqi and Xiao Fuling have always had a good relationship, like mother and daughter. But in the past, Xiao Fuling was not in the palace every day, and sometimes she had to go out of the palace to run errands or play, and it was ten days and half a month to go. Lai Yueqi, Xiao Fuling's godmother, did not recall Xiao Fuling back in such a hurry.

Xiao Shizhu vaguely felt that something had happened to the Yuque Palace. But there was no conclusive evidence, and he didn't think much about it, just a moment later he furrowed his brow.

"That's good, then we'll see you in a few days. After Xiao Fuling said this, she jumped straight towards her house.

Xiao Shizhu, who was behind him, had no choice but to shout: "Pay attention to safety on the road, when you arrive in the palace, you will immediately find a fungus person to report my safety." ”。

"Got it. Xiao Fuling, who answered, had already rushed to the house and packed her luggage......

Hugging the calf, there was silence in the main hall of the military mansion on the high stone platform.

The generals present all stared at each other with wide eyes and were silent.

On the long table in front of them, a map of the Six Heavens Continent was spread out, and each of them stared at the map, their brows locked in their brows.

Those red forks are all around the area around Xudu and Baoqi Pass, which is the place where ghost riots have occurred one after another recently. The reason for this is that many of the world's fertile land has been encroached upon. The ghost people couldn't get enough to eat, so they rioted one after another, robbing dozens of official warehouses where food was stored. Then he fled deep into the mountains and disappeared for the time being.

Especially near the Baocalf Pass, as the first pass of the Netherworld, there are many kinds of mountain ghosts living in this area within a radius of hundreds of miles. There are countless one-horned mountain ghosts and strong mountain ghosts. In their spare time, they cultivate the wasteland, and in wartime they can support the calf holders.

But recently, the fields of these mountain ghosts have been the first to be occupied. It was the nobles led by the reincarnation king in the capital who encroached on the land.

The amount of food eaten by mountain ghosts is not small, and the cost of cultivating acres is not small. If there are mountain ghosts in each ghost country, they will inevitably have more acres of land than other ghosts; if they are recruited as officials and soldiers, the military salary should be slightly more, so as to ensure that they are well fed and drunk and will not make trouble. This is what the Nine Shadows Kingdom did, and the Northern Yin Dynasty did the same before.

However, this time, the King of Reincarnation took advantage of the task of arresting the ghosts who had taken bribes in the Nine Shadows Kingdom and confiscating their property, and took the opportunity to encroach on the fields of many mountain ghosts. The news was directly reported to the Emperor of Xudu Luoyu Mountain, and before the Emperor of Xudu recited, the approval was that all the rioting ghosts were arrested and escorted into the capital, and those who resisted were executed on the spot.

Therefore, the generals who hugged the calves had a headache.

This matter, if Emperor Xudu asked the land to be returned, it would be resolved. But now, Emperor Xudu is making the materials for the Heaven Splitting Blood Soul Beast. The rebellion of the ghosts was provoked by him secretly instructing the Reincarnation King, with the intention of using these ghosts to make the Heaven Splitting Blood Soul Beast in the name of 'justifiably', but things got into trouble.

Although the generals did not know the reason for this edict of Emperor Xudu, they also knew that if this continued, it would provoke an even greater popular uprising. What's more, most of the elite soldiers and strong generals were taken to the southern expedition by Gong Mingyi, and most of them are gone. There is a shortage of major generals in the passes, and they have to suppress the riots, which is really a stumbling block.

The generals frowned tightly for a long time, but they couldn't come up with an effective way, and their eyes fell on Zhong Kui at the front of the long table.

Since Zhong Kui came down from Luo Yu Mountain last time, he was transferred to the post of Gong Mingyi here by an edict from Emperor Xudu, taking charge of military affairs in Guannei, and also to find out the source of the rumors.

At the same time, he is also ready to negotiate with the Nine Ghost Kingdom.

At this time, Zhong Kui was also frowning, and there was no way for the time being. Zhong Kui, who was silent, stared at the map, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that the red cross on it was so dazzling.

After a long time, Zhong Kui finally opened his mouth and said in a rough voice: "Let's drive them." ”。

The generals were stunned for a moment, and their suspicious eyes fell on Zhong Kui's bearded face.

"If you can exterminate them, you will exterminate them, and if you can't, you will rush to the direction of Xudu, and how to deal with them when the time comes, is a matter for the garrisons near Xudu and the high-ranking officials of the imperial court to consider. At this point, Zhong Kui had no choice but to make this decision: "At that time, these rebellions and riots will not be our responsibility." ”。

After that, Zhong Kui let out a long sigh, his face a little tired.

He has enough things to worry about, he has to check rumors and prepare to negotiate with Jiuyouguo, get the damn Gong Mingyi back, etc., and ask him to quell the chaos, which is simply a headache for Zhong Kui.

As a last resort, I can only change the law and bring this problem back to Xudu and let them solve it themselves.

"But, Lord Zhong, will His Majesty be angry in this way?" But soon, some ghost generals raised such questions. When he asked, there was a hint of obvious horror in his eyes.

Everyone knows that Emperor Xudu has a strange temper and is moody, if he sees that the sergeant of Baoqiguan deliberately used this method to make a decision and handed it over to Xudu, then the ghosts here will not have a good life.

Even the slightest carelessness will cause the family to be sat together.

They are all ghosts who have been in the underworld for thousands of years, and they each have their own families and rooms, so they can't help but have a lot of concerns.

"Angry, how can you be angry?" Zhong Kui, who snorted angrily, asked rhetorically, his beard glared, and he said angrily: "I wish that these rioting ghost people would run to the range of Xudu." More than 100,000 ghosts are waiting to arrest them. What's more, the garrison is not allowed to leave the garrison without permission, and we only need to be responsible for the absence of riots in the jurisdiction. ”。
