The water pool is surrounded by green trees and smoke clouds, and the red glow under the sandalwood elm and green bamboos that cover the sky and the sun compete for beauty. In the pool of silver waves, clear water droplets splashed and catapulted, illuminated by the light of the cloudy sun, and colorful lights flickered, and one after another fish were driven to the shore by the black monkeys.

Years of experience in chasing prey, so how to drive fish in the water, can startle those fish to leap ashore on their own.

And Xiao Shizhu was only slightly stunned, surprise flashed out of his eyes, and soon disappeared.

The rumor that came out of Xun Xiang's mouth, he had heard it for the first time, but he didn't believe it either. It's just that after being surprised, I was still a little secretly surprised, how did this rumor come out?

The national teacher Yingying was also surprised, her face changed dramatically, and she hurriedly pulled Xunxiang's sleeve, and said in a deep voice: "Don't talk nonsense, how can that drunken old ghost be the biological father of **?"

"You let her speak. Soon, he looked at Xiao Shizhu, who was driven by the black monkey with relish, and snorted lightly: "I want to listen, why do I have another father-in-law?"

When Xun Xiang heard this, he suddenly felt that he was talking too much, so he naturally wanted to stop the loss, and he didn't dare to say more.

After not hearing the sound for a long time, Xiao Shizhu's face changed as soon as he said it, and he immediately turned blue and pulled it up, and said in a deep voice at the same time: "Say!"

The murderous aura gradually overflowed, and the temperature around him began to plummet, and a few droplets of water splashed within three feet around him immediately turned into ice beads.

Xiao Shizhu's anger is not that he believes this rumor, if this is really the ghost mother, will she be willing to clean up the Northern Yin Dynasty with him? It's just that Xun Xiang didn't say half of it, but Xiao Shizhu was even more curious about how this legend came about?

"Yes. This thunderous roar made Xun Xiang tremble, and after a stirring spirit, he stammered intermittently and a little: "Back then, the ghost mother and the ghost captives were quietly abandoned at the gate of the old ghost palace in Xudu by unknown ghosts. We, the old ghosts of the Netherworld, have all privately guessed whether these two ghost babies are the merry and happy kind of old ghosts who went to the south to negotiate with the demon god. And although the old ghost of Xudu has not admitted it, he has always said that these two children were born from the first touch of ghost qi and evil qi in heaven and earth, but we can all see that he values these two children very much. Speaking of which, our eight kings were still under their two imps back then. ”。

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Shizhu was stunned again. The left hand was immediately clenched into a fist, and when he trembled slightly, his right hand was already raised, and he wiped the top of his head that did not pull up his hair from front to back, and said: "This can't be said that my wife is the seed of an old ghost." ”。

Xiao Shizhu's face dissipated, and he smiled indifferently. The Eight Kings once did things under the ghost mother, and the ghost mother mentioned it once when Xiao Shizhu was still in the underworld, but there were too many things, and he forgot about it. Today, Xunxiang mentioned it again, and Xiao Shizhu thought about it.

"Yes, yes, it's me who is talking too much. It's obviously a rumor, and I took it seriously. Xun Xiang replied in a loud voice and lowered her head.

Xiao Shizhu picked up a stone casually and stood up, and said slowly: "I don't blame you, you don't know." Soon after my wife worked hard for Huangquan in front of the old ghost of Xudu, she had already left Xudu and Liutianzhou to become the king of Hades, and so did the ghosts. The old ghost didn't kill them, but he sent them to 'exile' in disguise, just like you. They have been the Hades King for thousands of years, and they have been secretly suppressed by the Northern Yin Dynasty and other ghost kingdoms that have risen one after another, and they have always been small ghost kingdoms. So I can only say that when Emperor Xudu reused my wife and the ghost captives, he had already planned to suppress you, and he was ready to unload the mill and kill the donkey for you. ”。

As he spoke, he kept holding the pebble in his hand until he finished speaking. After placing your hands horizontally, you lean back and half-squat, and your arms are hard to hit the stones. "Boom" broke the air and roared, the stone flew on the water surface, and after touching the water surface, it bounced up and flew again because of the principle of inertia. The pebble continued to bounce forward on the surface of the water until the inertia was exhausted, and then sank into the water two or three feet away from the opposite shore, but it hit a fish in the water that was about to breathe.

The black monkey also went ashore, and happily went to pick up the fish that he had driven ashore, and turned a deaf ear to Xiao Shizhu's chat, and did not dare to be interested.

"But this is the end of the matter, and it is not allowed to be like a rumor again. After pondering for a while, Xiao Shizhu raised his eyebrows lightly, and added: "I don't want to hear this kind of baseless rumor a second time. ”。

"No. Xun Xiang hung his head in response.

Xiao Shizhu said that, and left with the black monkey holding a lot of fish in his arms.

Only Xun Xiang and the national teacher Yingying were still standing by the pool......

Yuque City also began to cool down, but it didn't snow, but the light rain kept going. The white mist, which was intertwined with yin and cold, flew around the palace in the city.

Bursts of cold wind also whistled between heaven and earth.

The fragrance of flowers faded, but the fruity fragrance was stronger in the main building of Juexiangyuan, the ghost mother held a swaddling ghost baby with a red smiling face, standing in the middle of the main building, not far from the edge of the brazier with cloud patterns, picking a flower and holding it in her hand, teasing the child to have fun.

This ghost baby is very close to her, not only does not make noise, does not cry, but also always smiles at the ghost mother, but the ghost mother is very happy, and she can't put it down for this ghost baby.

And the child's mother, Lai Yueqi, was sitting not far away. Lai Yueqi raised her body after giving birth, so she took the child out and showed it to the ghost mother, and at the same time came to ask the ghost mother to say goodbye.

And when the ghost mother saw her child, she took it and hugged it, and she liked it very much.

"This is much better than Poria when she was a child, you see, this child doesn't kick his legs or scratch people. Xiao Fuling moved too much when she was a child, and she is the same now, not as well-behaved as you at all. I'm just this life, I can't give birth to a well-behaved child like you. Even Fucha is making a lot of noise now, and her naughty energy is on par with her sister Xiao Fuling, and if I die in the future, I will be angry with their sisters. While complaining about her child, while teasing the child in her arms for a while, the ghost mother handed her over to Lai Yueqi's personal maid, and sat on the throne opposite Lai Yueqi: "Shengrong is in the Eight Desolations." Xiao Shizhu changed the name of the child before leaving, and the original intention was also to spread it for a long time, don't listen to some ghosts in the palace secretly chewing their tongues, saying that the sun and the moon will not go back, and they will disappear as quickly as flowing water. ”。

After sitting down, the ghost mother chatted with Lai Yueqi opposite. After saying a few words, I talked about the recent gossip about this child.

"My sister I know, my lord would not do such a thing. And Lai Yueqi smiled lightly disapprovingly, she had also heard some of these rumors, but they were all words that separated her from the ghost mother and Xiao Fuling, which was nothing more than that Xiao Shizhu favored these children.

Lai Yueqi doesn't believe those gossips; although it is true that Xiao Shizhu values Xiao Poria, Lai Yueqi is not jealous, but is proud and happy for Xiao Fuling. Xiao Fuling is the eldest daughter and capable, so she should be taken seriously.

So she has been deaf to these rumors. Although she didn't hear or care, she and the ghost mother both knew where these rumors came from. It's nothing more than the palace of Qingqiu Fox Ji.

Although Tu Gongqi is dead, the Tu Shan clan is even more scattered, and almost all the souls who dare to call out the Nine Shadows Kingdom have been executed, but there are still many ghosts of the Tu Shan clan and the Qingqiu Fox Country who are full of ambition and are supporting the Qingqiu Fox Queen.

And Qingqiu Fox Ji gave birth to a son to the Xiao family after Xiao Shizhu went to Huangquan, and the small actions of those cronies around her were even more public, so that the servants in the palace dared to blatantly arrange other palace masters.

Even Tu Yaoqing, the Qingqiu fox who gave birth to a son, was full of confidence, not only secretly supporting his subordinates to do such things, but also delusionally thinking of becoming the second ** of the Nine Shadows Country, controlling the government of the Nine Shadows Kingdom like today's ghost mother.

But the external troubles are still there, and the ghost mother, who naturally knows these situations, doesn't want to cause trouble for the time being. External troubles, the Northern Yin Dynasty, any of them are more threatening than these ghosts in the Qingqiu Fox Country.

Therefore, her reminder was only up to the point, and seeing that Lai Yueqi didn't care, she was naturally much more relieved.

"I said sister, is this Poria still grounded?" Then, Lai Yueqi, who picked up the teacup and took a sip of fragrant tea, changed the topic, her eyes moved lightly, and after a moment of silence, her eyes swept over the ghost mother's face, and she saw the faint tiredness that was not easy to hide between the other party's facial features: "I haven't seen her for several days, but it makes me miss her." As for the grounding, there is no danger anyway, and the child has come back safely, so you can just teach her a little lesson. In this way, she can also help you deal with government affairs, wouldn't it be easier for you?"

The ghost mother laughed and said nothing, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

She didn't want to change her previous decision, and she didn't want to open up because of Lai Yueqi's plea. She must be ruthless and sharpen Xiao Fuling's temperament, after all, jade can't be cut into a weapon, and she can't regress in this matter.

Seeing that she didn't answer, Lai Yueqi knew that it was useless to say anything, so she had to say no more, just laughed and sighed lightly.

"Poria is just confined to the palace, if you want her, I will give an order to allow her to go out of the palace to see you. Let her see this new sister of hers too. The ghost mother said, turned her head to look at Xiao Fuyun in the arms of Lai Yueqi's personal maid, and smiled at each other: "It's just, but I can only give her a few hours." After that, she had to be grounded. ”。

At this moment, Qing Lan, who was at the palace gate, walked in quickly, walked straight to the ghost mother and stood beside her, leaned down, and muttered something softly in the ghost mother's ear.

And the ghost mother has been looking at each other calmly, quietly listening to the words coming from her ears.

Seeing this, Lai Yueqi stood up very familiarly after taking a sip of tea, and when Qinglan straightened up after saying everything, she immediately saluted the ghost mother and said, "Since my sister has something to do, I will retire first." ”。

"Well, I'll bring you over another day to sit down. The ghost mother also stood up and said with a smile: "Chenruo, send Mrs. Yue out of the palace." ”。

Chen Ruo, who was beside him, nodded and agreed, leading Lai Yueqi and them out of the palace slowly.

After seeing Lai Yueqi leave, the ghost mother changed her previous calm tone and said to Qinglan urgently: "Go and bring Lin Cong in." ”。

Qing Lan responded and left quickly, and after a while, she brought Lin Cong in and returned to the door of the building.

"**, the war on Shuoyue Island is over. Lin Cong, who was standing in front of the ghost mother, only bent down and bowed, and he couldn't wait to say: "Hundreds of thousands of ghost soldiers have already laid down their weapons and stopped fighting under the flash of the wind. Ying Zhao and a few other marshals and adults are settling these ghost soldiers. ”。

"Qinglan told me briefly about the process. The ghost mother frowned, and then asked urgently, "Who is this Fengran?"
