The night breeze before dawn, with a hint of chill and cold yin, emitted a low whining sound and blew quietly through the houses in the city of Basai.

"Isn't this a little bit less soldiered? Chun Han did not receive the order when he heard this, but after thinking about it for a while, his eyes showed a little worry, and said: "Is the lord not mobilizing some more soldiers, as far as the last general knows, although Lord Lin has more than 200,000 ghost soldiers in his hands, but Aoki County is only the first decision at this time, and soldiers are needed everywhere to maintain order at the same time." Then the king of Xiazhou and the 100,000-strong army pressed the lower reaches of the Longshu River, and Lord Lin really had no idle soldiers. ”。

"I also know a little bit about the situation in the east, so far, I have only heard that the Xia Zhou Kingdom dares to attack, and the other countries are waiting. Our army only needs to defeat the invasion of Xiazhou, and the other countries will no longer dare to attack our country. Xiao Shizhu stood up and slowly paced around Chun Han: "As for the Xudu Army, they are all busy fighting against the Corpse Soul Army, and they will not suddenly turn back to the south and invade our country's Aoki County." ”。

The night wind made the windows in the house creak, and the white window paper covering the windows was also blown by the night wind.

The spring cold quieted down, and he didn't make a sound but thought carefully.

"On the contrary, I want to know, who gave the King of Xiazhou the courage to fight with our country for the Longshu River? Xiao Shizhu sat back in his chair again, his face changed slightly and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, he used the tip of his bent index finger to rhythmically point to the round table next to him, and frowned.

The army of 200,000 Nine Youguo looks like there are a lot of them, and all parts of Aoki County need sergeants to garrison, but there is not much left, so the 100,000 army of Xiazhou State took the opportunity to press the border, but did not cross the border, which not only shows that the king of Xiazhou is still hesitating, but also shows that once the king of Xiazhou starts a war, he will strive to conquer the border of Aoki County in one fell swoop.

Judging from all kinds of intelligence, the king of Xiazhou is not like such an eloquent Hades King, but the matter of the army pressing the border is a strategic clever move; And the dragon grass on the side of the Longshu River is also a strategic material, so it seems that the move of the Xiazhou army to go straight to the upper reaches of the Longshu River is a method that can only be thought up by a ghost with strategic talent.

From the time Xiao Shizhu heard the news, he didn't believe that this move was planned by the King of Xiazhou, and there must be some ghost behind this who was giving advice to the King of Xiazhou.

"Lord, do you mean that there is a capable minister by the side of the king of Xiazhou?" Chun Han also frowned, and said solemnly: "Or is this the instruction of the Emperor Xudu?"

Speaking of this, Chun Han couldn't help but tremble his fingers, if it was really instructed by Emperor Xudu, it can be seen that the number one enemy of the Nine Hidden Kingdoms is still scheming, so it makes Chun Han awe-inspiring.

"Chunhan, you have to remember that when you encounter something, you must first see the situation clearly, and you are making guesses and inferences. Xiao Shizhu smiled indifferently when he heard this, he intended to promote this young ghost talent, so that his country was full of ghost talents, so he patiently seduced him: "Although this matter is like the routine of Emperor Xudu, but Xudu is too far away from Dongyizhou, and the Beiyin Dynasty has not enabled the transmission of fungus people, and when the edict of Emperor Xudu arrives in Xiazhou Kingdom quickly, it will take at least half a month, and it will be impossible for Xiazhou Kingdom to act so quickly." ”。

Chun Han patiently listened to him, and after thinking about it secretly, he nodded and said, "That's true, I didn't think about it before." ”。

"Besides, the guess of the Neng Chen is even more unlikely, if he is assisted by the king of Xiazhou, not to mention that Dongyizhou is all his, at least half of the land will become the land of the Xia Zhou State. Xiao Shizhu lifted his teapot, put it in his mouth and sucked it but didn't suck out a sip of tea, only to find that there was no water in the pot, so he first handed the teapot to the ghost mother, and asked her to get some tea, and then he said slowly to Chun Han with a calm expression: "So there are only two possibilities left; Second, that is the revenge of the corpse. ”。

Chun Han is not a stupid ghost, after hearing this, he just thought about it a little, and suddenly his mouth suddenly opened; the King of the Corpse is a ghost with extremely selfish desires, and it is very likely that he will have a grudge against the non-alignment of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, and it is more likely that he will let the ghost he planted in the Xiazhou Kingdom provoke the arrogance of the King of Xiazhou.

In this way, it can disturb the peace of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, and it can also make the logistics of the Xiazhou Kingdom take precedence over the Xiazhou Army's Eastern Expeditionary Army, rather than the Xudu Army fighting in the north of the Xiazhou Kingdom.

"But in his Xia Prefecture, there is no capable general. Seeing that her eyes lit up, she knew that this girl understood his words, so Xiao Shizhu smiled and said: "So I only need to allocate 30,000 soldiers to Lin Cong, so that he can have soldiers to adjust, the intention is to defend the territory and beat the enemy who dares to attack, so as to deter the Quartet." ”。

After a pause, Xiao Shizhu said meaningfully: "Chunhan, you have to remember, the leader of the army as a general must see farther and deeper than his ghost." ”。

"The last will remember the teachings of the Lord. As if the enlightened Chunhan nodded, he cast a grateful look at Xiao Shizhu, and at the same time saluted Xiao Shizhu.

"Go down, Chuanhu Biao and Shenji come in. Xiao Shizhu said and took the teapot handed by the ghost mother.

"No. Chunhan replied and withdrew. didn't notice that the smile on Xiao Shizhu's face had disappeared, and a faint killing intent appeared.

This is not for her, but for the Corpse King. If Xiao Shizhu's previous guess was correct, then the Corpse King would be dead.

A moment after Chunyun left, Hu Biao and the fungus god walked to the door together, pushed the door in, closed the door, and stood behind the door and saluted in unison: "Meet the lord, the mother of the country." ”。

"Immediately send an order, let our Xuanjiao disciples in the Xiazhou Kingdom immediately secretly investigate the recent transfer of the Xiazhou Kingdom's army, who is behind the instigation?" Xiao Shizhu said in a flat tone, but a faint murderous aura appeared on his face......

After night fell, Xuanyuan City, which had been noisy for a day, was also sleepy, and most of the ghosts in the city had quietly fallen asleep, and the silence spread among the streets and alleys of the city with the night and the night wind.

Behind Xuanyuan City, there is the depth of the Bear King Palace, a plane is square, the face is wide and deep, there are three rooms each, there are yellow glazed tiles at the four corners of the gilded treasure top hall, it is still brightly lit.

The four dragon and phoenix skirt partition doors that open to the south of the main hall are closed, and even the sill windows on the east and west sides are closed.

On the main hall, sitting in the middle of the hall under the coiling dragon bead caisson well, it was Ji Xuanyuan. Energetic, his eyes were fixed on the chessboard on the ground in front of him, and there was a bronze vermilion lantern on the left and right of the chessboard.

The body of the lamp is the head and tail, the wings are like flying birds, stepping on the body curl, the dragon's head rises on the coiled dragon lamp base, the mouth holds the annular groove-shaped lamp plate, the lamp plate is divided into three grids, each grid has a candle drill, and each inserts a wax made of hemp steamed and bundled reeds, bamboo salary, and pine bark, etc., which are entangled together.

The flame burning on the wax head was, as always, a dark green common in the underworld.

The faint green fire illuminated the chessboard in front of him, and also illuminated Ji Xuanyuan's face opposite Ji Xuanyuan, who was sitting across the chessboard from him, cloudy, and unclear.

On top of this hall, there are only two ghosts.

"What do you think is the intention of Emperor Xudu suddenly recruiting An?" Ji Xuanyuan picked up a sunspot and clicked it on the chessboard in front of him. Under the candlelight, it can be seen that his face is calm, as if the deep water of an ancient well.

After the wind on the opposite side, he also put a white piece on the chessboard, and there were scattered chess pieces in the vertical and horizontal lines: "Naturally, it is intended to reduce power and strengthen centralized power." ”。

After a pause, the Wind Queen frowned, and quickly stretched out again: "Xiao Shizhu used grace and power to unite the ghost clans of the two southern continents against the Northern Yin Dynasty, and he Emperor Xudu will now follow suit." ”。

"It's just ......" After a pause, the wind queen raised her eyes slightly, and a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes: "Emperor Xudu's trick is more powerful than grace." As he spoke, another son fell.

It has been more than ten days since the Zhao'an order reached Youxiong Guozhong, but Ji Xuanyuan has not replied. As Xiao Shizhu expected, Ji Xuanyuan, who was accustomed to being served by his ghosts and had been high for a long time, did not agree to the two items in the Zhao'an order at all; one was not allowed to support his retainers, and the other was that he was no longer allowed to have troops other than the personal guards.

The battle between black and white chess pieces became more and more urgent, but Ji Xuanyuan's chess posture was a little more stable, and every move was cautious, like walking on thin ice.

On the other hand, the chess position behind the wind is sharp and unstoppable.

Both sides have their own advantages and disadvantages, and each side occupies a place on the chessboard in this square inch, and it is difficult to distinguish the winner from each other.

"A thousand years ago, when this king came to this underworld, he was immediately crowned as the prince of Hades. Ji Xuanyuan dropped another son and ate a white son held by the wind on the chessboard: "I didn't expect that soon after, my children and grandchildren also came down, but the Emperor Xudu sent a messenger to escort them one by one to the king, and they were all clicked in front of the king." ”。

"From Xuan Huan to Xuan Ji to Changyi, he did not let go of all the Emperor Xudu, and he didn't even give them a chance to be reincarnated as a pig; When anger appeared on Ji Xuanyuan's face and eyes at the same time, the five fingers of his right hand were clenched, and he pinched the black chess piece in his hand into powder.

The wind suddenly appeared on the ground, and the wind on the opposite side was silent, and she didn't drop on the chessboard.

"I've always thought, forget it, who made him the true god, and we are self-appointed gods?" After snorting heavily, Ji Xuanyuan, who was full of anger, slowly let go of his five fingers, and slowly scattered the powder in his hand on the ground beside him: "But now that he has used up the Emperor of the Imperial Capital, he is going to cut power again, is it really that I am the Yellow Emperor is a soft persimmon?"

"What are your plans, King?" After a long silence, the Queen of the Wind spoke again, but her face and tone were still so peaceful. Not frightened, not angry, not impatient.

"Judging from the current situation, the headless ghost country and the Mashou country in the south of our country have all accepted Zhao'an. might as well drag it out first, and don't say anything about Zhao'an, they will definitely not be able to strike at our country. Ji Xuanyuan's face suddenly decreased a little with anger, and after a word, he said slowly: "But there can't be enemies in the north, it's better to ally with the Lingshan Kingdom." ”。

"Huh?" surprise appeared on the face of the wind queen who frowned slightly, and an incredible gaze burst out of his eyes, heading straight for Ji Xuanyuan's face.

After being stunned for a while, the queen of the wind hurriedly shouted: "My country has fought a hundred years of war with the Lingshan Kingdom, which began before the rebellion of the Beiyin Dynasty, but now it is going to release ......the previous suspicions."

"As the so-called enemy of the enemy is a friend, Lone has understood that the ten witches who are in charge of the Lingshan Kingdom have killed the noble envoy of the capital this evening and refused to recruit An. Before the wind queen finished speaking, Ji Xuanyuan had already raised his hand to interrupt him: "The Lingshan Kingdom has become a thorn in the flesh in the eyes of the Northern Yin Dynasty, and they will definitely be eager to form an alliance with our country." ”。
