The birds in the main building of Juexiang Garden no longer chirped.

They seem to be tired, tired, and invariably lose their previous vitality, and they are all squinting and napping in their respective cages or bird racks.

And Xiao Shizhu and Lin Cong in the building were not surprised or surprised by everything Changqin explained.

All of this expounded by Changqin was originally planned by the three ghosts, and Changqin was just carrying out this secret plan.

As for Changqin's return to Yuque City, it took five days to come to see Xiao Shizhu, just to see Hu Lan first, and also to deepen the trust of Qingqiu Fox Country.

Although Xiao Shizhu knowingly asked him to come back for a few days, he didn't mean to blame Changqin.

If Changqin didn't send a letter to the Fox Lan Mansion as soon as he returned, it would be easy to make the suspicious Qingqiu Fox King suspicious.

Moreover, the secret letter from the Qingqiu Fox King to Hu Lan arrived at Hu Lan's mansion one step ahead of Changqin, and secretly informed Hu Lan that Changqin would return with the secret letter.

If Changqin didn't hand over the secret letter from him for the first time, but advanced into the palace, then the Qingqiu Fox King would be suspicious.

But now, Changqin is doing well, at least the Qingqiu Fox King is not suspicious.

"Hu Lan, he first asked me to find out the military garrison situation in Dongyingzhou, I expected this to be a temptation, and I didn't agree. Changqin then said slowly to Xiao Shizhu: "I told Hu Lan that the state affairs he wants to know are not under my control, and it is impossible to get this kind of information. Our country has its own responsibilities, and military matters are not within my scope, which is very difficult. ”。

"But I can ask him about some parts of Dongyingzhou. After a pause, Changqin said what he did again, to Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother, one by one.

Xiao Shizhu still trusts Changqin very much, and he has no suspicions at the moment, and after thinking about it carefully, he thinks that it is reasonable for Changqin to do this.

After all, if Changqin boasted about Haikou, he would not gain the trust of the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom.

"Indeed, it was a temptation. Xiao Shizhu nodded slightly, and said thoughtfully: "Qingqiu Fox Kingdom knows that you are just the Chunguan Zongbo who is in charge of the state ceremony, you can't interfere in military affairs, if you agree to the other party's request, Hu Lan will immediately repay the Qingqiu Fox King, and he will be suspicious." ”。

"Yes. Changqin also agreed with Xiao Shizhu's analysis, nodded and said: "The minister also thinks so, so he didn't give Hu Lan any package tickets at all." ”。

"You're right to do this, I think, Hu Lan then put forward other conditions, right?" Xiao Shizhu picked up the teacup and finally took a sip of the tea in the cup, but it was already warm, and it was no longer hot tea.

When the time comes, now Xiao Shizhu drinking tea will no longer affect the efficacy of the medicine.

"The king is really a genius. Changqin gradually raised the corners of his mouth, smiled, and said: "Hu Lan then asked me to get the accurate list of the reception personnel of the Qingqiu Fox King from now on, including the sergeants and generals of our army who served as their guards, as well as whether there is a plan to change sergeants every day, etc. ”。

When Xiao Shizhu heard this, he fell into deep thought again.

Thinking about it carefully, this seems to be some measures taken by the Qingqiu Fox King to ensure his safety. However, it seems that the Qingqiu Fox King wants to take the opportunity to win over the ghosts around Xiao Shizhu.

In any case, Xiao Shizhu will not be afraid.

So he put away his contemplation, looked at the long qin again, and asked, "Did you agree?"

"I just agreed to the itinerary and other things, and the guards are not under my jurisdiction, so the guard's affairs are just promised, try to ask him about Hu Lan. Changqin did not hesitate to tell Xiao Shizhu how to answer. Including his own thoughts, he also said them one by one: "The minister thinks so, I am responsible for the work of receiving the Qingqiu Fox King within my duties, how to arrange these first make a list and a notebook, and then present it to the lord after showing it to Hu Lan." After you finalize it, I will hand over the approved transcript to Hu Lan to read again, which will show that I am very sincere about the matter of 'surrendering to the enemy'. ”。

As he spoke, Changqin felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart.

The sense of accomplishment that can serve Xiao Shizhu and complete the task perfectly.

And this is also the purpose of his trip, some things he can only say to Xiao Shizhu in person, and he can't leak them.

And Xiao Shizhu pondered for a moment with the ghost mother and Lin Cong, and after exchanging a look, he nodded to Changqin, who had already drunk tea, and said, "Yes, but I will give you some gossip arranged by the guards, you can tell Hu Lan together, just say that this is also what you heard from the side." ”。

"No. Changqin, who put down the teacup, gladly accepted the order.

"Also, arrange more things to eat, drink, and have fun, and arrange less talks, so as to say that I have been good lately, and I am very interested in things of enjoyment and pleasure. Over there, Changqin responded, and Xiao Shizhu had already said to him thoughtfully: "You make this arrangement, everything is to your liking, in order to make me happy." To put it bluntly, you're arranging this just to pat me on the back. ”。

Changqin didn't think much about it, didn't ask too much, and answered again after remembering it.

"These arrangements for eating, drinking, and having fun must be done with all our hearts. Subsequently, Xiao Shizhu advised: "What is delicious and fun, try to arrange as much as possible, and it should be extravagant." The money does not need to be paid out of the treasury, and my private treasury serves half of it. ”。

"No. Changqin stood up and saluted: "The minister will do it." ”。

"Go ahead. Xiao Shizhu nodded, and at the same time pointed to the guqin, motioning for the long qin to take it back.

Changqin hesitated for a moment, but still took the guqin with him, and his heart was overjoyed, and he bowed again and withdrew.

Xiao Shizhu didn't remember the guqin either.

As he said, staying here can only play the piano for him, and he can't play any beautiful melody. Or, it can only be dust.

In this regard, Xiao Shizhu is very lacking.

Not long after Changqin left, Lin Cong, who was still sitting in the main building, asked Xiao Shizhu and said, "Lord, do you want to strengthen the monitoring of Hu Lan." We will also monitor Lord Changqin as necessary. ”。

When Xiao Shizhu heard this, he shook his head slowly without hesitation, vetoed Lin Cong's proposal, and said, "Changqin is still loyal, and that kind of surveillance is okay." Including Hulan's surveillance, it's just normal surveillance. Suddenly strengthen the surveillance, a little negligence, leak out, but will make the Qingqiu Fox Country suspicious, in the Qingqiu Fox Country, in the future, Changqin will no longer have a miraculous effect. ”。

Xiao Shizhu knew Changqin's loyalty, and he also had backup means and plans, so there was no need to monitor Changqin on this, but he seemed open-minded and trusted.

The other party will also work even harder because of this.

It's just that these deep meanings, Xiao Shizhu can't tell Lin Cong.

And Lin Cong also saw that he said so, so he had no objection and did not mention the matter again.

"You should be prepared, after the Qingqiu Fox King comes, how to arrange surveillance around his residence, this is your job. Xiao Shizhu said to Lin Cong again.

"Yes. Lin Cong, who also reported everything, also got up, bowed and retired.

According to Xiao Shizhu's request, he was ready to arrange for monitoring and monitoring personnel to go......

The news of the Qingqiu Fox King's envoy not only spread to the Nine Shadows Kingdom, but even the Reincarnation King, who was far away in the Xudu Capital, also received such news and information.

The Reincarnation King, who hurriedly went up the mountain with this information, saw Emperor Xudu who was reviewing the manuscript on the Beiyin Zhongtian Hall of the Six Heavenly Gods and Ghosts Palace.

The sun was beginning to set in the east, and the depths of the hall were already a little dark. On the lamp on the table of the Emperor Xudu, the centipede beads automatically glow in the dimness, illuminating the surroundings.

After kneeling and kowtowing neatly and waiting for the completion of the salute, the king of rotation knelt on the ground and presented this information, and he didn't even glance at the intelligence documents, and continued to review the manuscript, and then said: "Your Majesty, the Qingqiu Fox King has gone abroad to the sea, and the purpose is to send an envoy to the Nine Shadows Kingdom to meet with Xiao Shizhu. He also took away the prime minister of the Qingqiu Fox Country - Fox Shidou. ”。

But when the three words of Fox Shidou came out of the mouth of the King of Reincarnation, Emperor Xudu stopped his pen, moved his gaze to the book presented by the King of Reincarnation, and then picked up the book and looked through it.

The name of the fox ten buckets is something that even the Emperor of Xudu has heard of.

Almost the same as Xiao Shizhu thought, Emperor Xudu stared at the information book and thought of the intention of the Qingqiu Fox King to bring the fox ten buckets.

What Emperor Xudu thought of was that the Qingqiu Fox King wanted to let an old ghost like Fox Shidou, who was smart and good at observation, to explore Xiao Shizhu's weaknesses.

And the Wheel King, who was still kneeling in front of Emperor Xudu, opened his mouth again and said: "It is said that the Qingqiu Fox King has made a bloody investment this time, and if he wants to tie up or stabilize Xiao Shizhu, what he sent is a beautiful gift made by a genius earth treasure. The gift list alone is said to be a full book, with eight pages in length. ”。

As he spoke, an imperceptible look of envy appeared in the eyes of the Reincarnation King.

I secretly thought: so many treasures, how nice it would be if I gave them to him.

"It's a bloody investment, but most of it is to stabilize Xiao Shizhu. Emperor Xudu, who put down the notebook, had already guessed the careful thoughts of the Qingqiu Fox King: "He still wants to start a war with Xiao Shizhu." ”。

After finishing speaking, Emperor Xudu snorted coldly, and after showing contempt in his eyes, he said: "However, to deal with Xiao Shizhu, such a method is too low-level, and the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom is still difficult to defeat the Nine Shadows Kingdom." ”。

"Yes, but he can weaken the Nine Shadows Kingdom, and he can also make the Nine Shadows Kingdom lose something, and the recovery time will be longer. The reincarnation king, who nodded, lowered his head again, stared at the gold brick floor in front of him, and replied: "The minister thinks that while the two of them are still immersed in the dream of peace, they might as well equip the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom with some ghostly ghost cannons." In this way, when the Qingqiu Fox King returns to the country, this arrogant fox king will send troops against the Nine Shadows Kingdom and start a war. ”。

"Let the Qingqiu Fox King increase some war capital and determination. After Emperor Xudu said this, he frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

"Yes. The Wheel King nodded.

That's right, the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom is not the opponent of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, there is no doubt about it.

Only the big fool of the Qingqiu Fox King would think that he could divide the world with the Nine Shadows Kingdom and the Northern Yin Dynasty.

Qingqiu Fox Country is just a chess piece used by the Northern Yin Dynasty to contain and deal with the Nine Shadows Kingdom, not asking him to defeat the Nine Shadows Kingdom, but asking him to fight hard, and then let the Nine Shadows Kingdom cause a lot of damage.

And the Beiyin Dynasty was sitting on the mountain watching the tiger fight, watching the Jiuyou Kingdom and the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom fight non-stop, and then he watched coldly from the sidelines, and by the way, he had a good rest.

This is also the reason why the Northern Yin Dynasty and the Emperor Xudu have been secretly contributing to the war between the Nine Shadows Kingdom and the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom.

And Emperor Xudu didn't think much about it, so he agreed to the proposal of the reincarnation king.

Equip the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom with some more Nether Ghost Cannons while taking advantage of this, then the Qingqiu Fox King will be more confident when he returns from the Nine Ghost Kingdom.

The arrogant ghost is like this, as long as there are more ghost cannons, the Qingqiu Fox King will have more courage and confidence. The moment he returns home, he will send troops to attack non-stop, and the Nine Shadows Kingdom will garrison troops in various places in Dongying Continent.

Moreover, the Emperor Xudu was still in Dongyingzhou at the beginning, abandoning millions of Xudu Army and Emperor Xuandi Army, and it is said that the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom has formed an alliance, so let them work together to toss the Nine Shadows Kingdom.

"In the Qingqiu Fox Country, send the front door artillery. Without hesitation, Xudu picked up his Zhu pen, and on the information book sent by the King of Rotation, he reviewed and approved the words that came out: "Plus 300,000 shells, and transport them to Qingqiu Fox Country in batches." ”。

The King of Rotation answered, and continued to kneel on the ground, waiting for the Emperor Xudu to complete the review of the recital, and then send it to him, so that he could immediately carry it to work.

"By the way, you're here just in time, and there's another thing you need to send someone to do quickly. With these words, the Emperor Xudu, who put down the red pen, rummaged through the books in his hand.

After a loud noise, Emperor Xudu took out a list from it, sandwiched it in the recital book of the King of Reincarnation, and handed it to the palace slave beside him, asking him to hand it to the King of Reincarnation.

The Reincarnation King results in the notebook, and look through the list inside.

It contains a large number of items and supplies needed for construction. In addition to shovels and other items, there are also stone bricks and clay, sand, white plaster mud, glutinous rice juice, and other things.

If you look at the list, you can see that all of this is something to be used for a big construction.

The amount of materials and supplies on the list is enough to build quite a few buildings.

"This is what the Shangqing boy wants, saying that the southeast coastal area should make a big move to rebuild all the defense facilities. Immediately afterwards, the Emperor Xudu on the opposite side had already said to the king of reincarnation: "These materials are to be sent to him; Once you have all these supplies ready, send them to him as soon as possible. ”。

Sure enough, it's going to use these things to build a lot of construction.

However, since it was to rebuild the fortifications and facilities, the Wheel King did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly responded, thinking about it for a while.

"Also, the mountain ghosts who rebelled before. Just after the answer, when the reincarnation king continued to sandwich the list in the recital book and closed it, a cold glint appeared in the eyes of the Emperor Xudu, and he said coldly to the reincarnation king: "Those captives after the counterinsurgency, let them do hard labor, carry supplies, it doesn't matter if they are tired, torture them well." ”。
