The dull sound of the door shaft turning echoed in the night breeze on the top of Luo Yu Mountain. The palace gate slowly opened, and the reincarnation king who was watching the palace gate temporarily put away his anxiety.

The palace door opened a gap and stopped. In the gaps, the white-haired palace slaves strode out.

This old palace slave, whose face was already full of wrinkles, strode vigorously to the side of the Wheel King, already out of breath. But he didn't care about taking a breath, so he hurriedly said to the King of Reincarnation: "King, you will enter the palace now, Your Majesty is in the Heavenly Hall in the North Yin." ”。

"Hmm. The king of reincarnation did not wait for the old palace slave to finish his words before he heard the word enter the palace, so he stepped forward and walked quickly towards the palace.

The nearby forbidden army also heard the words of the old palace slave, so naturally they did not stop the Wheel King who was about to enter the palace like the wind, and directly let him go, allowing the Wheel King to enter the palace smoothly.

The patrol in the palace to and from the forbidden army was also ordered, and there was no obstruction to the reincarnation king who walked between the palaces and pavilions.

The Reincarnation King went all the way unimpeded and went straight to the Heavenly Temple in the North Yin Middle.

At night, inside and outside the Heavenly Hall in the North Yin Dynasty, the lights are bright, and the bright lights illuminate the decorations and beams and pillars inside and outside the hall, as well as those golden bricks and tiles.

Several teams of forbidden troops stood at their respective posts around the main hall, armed with guns and knives, majestic.

The overcast wind of the night blew the black tassels on the helmets of these forbidden soldiers. The helmet is raised in the night wind.

When he came to the reincarnation king in front of the main hall, without saying a word, he climbed the jade steps and strode towards the Beiyin Zhongtian Hall on the high pedestal.

The anxious reincarnation king even took three steps and made two steps, and the stone steps were also ascended in two or three steps. The reincarnation king, who walked too fast, was already sweating profusely on his forehead.

The placket of the official robe also has a little soaking marks left by sweat.

The cold night wind did not make the fast-paced Wheel King feel any cold.

Soon, the King of Rotation came to the gate, and without caring about the rules and saluting, he stepped over the threshold and walked straight into the main hall.

The main hall, which is completely illuminated by luminous beads and mermaid ointment, has the reflection of golden pillars on the floor of the main hall. Between these thick black shadows, in the depths of the main hall, Emperor Xudu sat on a straw mat, and the recital set up in front of him was full of recitals.

Before he fell asleep, he already knew that the reincarnation king was coming, and he held a red pen in one hand and flipped through the recital book on the prelude case in the other.

The panting King of Rotation came to the recital and was about to kneel and salute. The Emperor Xudu on the opposite side raised his eyes and said, "Excuse me, sit down and speak." ”。

After a pause, Emperor Xudu said slowly and calmly: "The sky, it can't fall! There is no need to be so flustered." ”。

Only then did the reincarnation king realize that he was a little out of shape, and after responding again and again, he calmed down, straightened his robe, and sat on the ground opposite the Emperor Xudu.

"Is the Nine Shadows Kingdom a demon again?" When the Emperor of Rotation sat down, the Emperor Xudu stopped writing and put the imperial pen in his hand on the pen stand on the table.

"Yes. The reincarnation king, who nodded, took a breath and said slowly: "Your Majesty, in order to prevent the news of our acquisition of the Nine Shadow Bow from being leaked, the minister found many businessmen in the country to purchase the Nine Shadow Bow for the imperial court, do you remember?"

The Emperor Xudu, who had put together a book of good recitals, nodded casually.

Naturally, he knew about it, because it was what he and the Reincarnation King combined.

In view of the fact that the intelligence agencies of the Nine Shadows Kingdom are too difficult to deal with, and they are all over the ten continents and six seas, if the Northern Yin Dynasty court personally comes forward to purchase the Nine Shadows Bow, it will not only be easy to leak secrets, but also easy to arouse Xiao Shizhu's vigilance.

Therefore, Emperor Xudu and the King of Rotation came up with a method, that is, merchants who had nothing to do with the imperial court came forward to buy and act as middlemen.

Then, the Northern Yin Dynasty secretly purchased the Nine Shadows Bow from the merchant behind his back. The merchant bought the Nine Shadows Bow at a price of 3,000 gold, so the Northern Yin Dynasty bid 3,100 taels of gold to buy those Nine Shadow Bows from the merchants.

Earn a hundred taels of gold for nothing, and any businessman is willing to do this. When the King of Rotation privately selected good merchants and approached them to discuss the matter, most of those merchants, who were unprofitable and could not afford to be early, did not think about it, did not hesitate anything, and agreed to it.

As a result, these merchants became the exclusive middlemen of the Northern Yin Dynasty and began a plan to purchase the Nine Shadows Bow on a large scale.

And Xiao Shizhu's initial countermeasure was to gather the ghosts who could make the Nine Shadow Bows, mass-produce the Nine Shadow Bows and sell them to these merchants, and make a lot of money from them.

Everything is going according to the plan of the Northern Yin Dynasty, and everything is going according to plan, without any mistakes and changes.

The Nine Shadows Kingdom produced the Nine Shadows Bow and sold it to the Northern Yin Dynasty, which is already a well-known thing in the Nine Shadows Kingdom. Many ghost people in the Nine Shadows Kingdom have begun to move, and they want to learn from the masters who can make the Nine Shadows Bow and make the Nine Shadows Bow.

As for the industry and production that I have been engaged in before, I intend to stagnate because of this.

Seeing that this development continued, Xiao Shizhu couldn't stop all this from happening. More ghosts and people in the Nine Shadows Kingdom will put down all their work, do nothing, and specialize in producing the Nine Shadows Bow for sale.

The agricultural industry of the Nine Shadows Kingdom will gradually collapse and disintegrate, and when the wood is already completed, Xiao Shizhu is powerless. It is possible to use strong means to prevent the ghost people from producing the Nine Shadow Bows, but under the temptation of heavy money and heavy profits, once the Nine Shadows Kingdom prohibits these things by coercive means, it will provoke a civil uprising.

In the end, the country of Jiuyou, where prices are soaring, will even have to rely on all imports to buy grain to ensure that the people are fed. At that time, as long as the Northern Yin Dynasty cuts off the procurement of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, most of the ghosts of the Nine Shadows Kingdom will starve to death if they are hungry.

It wasn't until today that the Wheel King received the intelligence news in his hand, and the Wheel King knew that all the designs were beautiful, and the early implementation was also very smooth, but the development to this day is not satisfactory.

"Now there is intelligence that Xiao Shizhu has thought of a countermeasure to crack our plan. The King of Rotation handed over the intelligence information in his hand to Emperor Xudu, and at the same time said: "Xiao Shizhu has ordered that the whole country can make the Nine Shadow Bows. But the sale can only be bought and sold with the equivalent of three thousand gold. For example, fierce fire oil or Qingluan steel ore, etc., but also includes unsinkable wood, grain, and raised poultry and beast souls, etc. If there is money to buy and sell the Nine Shadows Bow, it is regarded as treason and punished as treason according to the law of the Nine Shadows. ”。

Emperor Xudu, who took the notebook and looked at it, heard these words, and the muscles in the corners of his eyes twitched suddenly.

Emperor Xudu's eyes, which had always been very calm, showed a look of surprise and panic.

The main hall was brightly lit, and all these changes in expression were very clear.

Although these expressions gradually dissipated after a short stay, Emperor Xudu was obviously taken aback, and his heart was no longer undisturbed.

He closed the notebook, and after a little thought, asked, "So, we can't use heavy profits and heavy money to drag down the Nine Shadows Kingdom?"

"Yes. The deflated Reincarnation King, after nodding in disappointment, gave Emperor Xudu a clear analysis: "Not only that, Xiao Shizhu also took this opportunity to transfer our stored grain and materials, which are invisibly legal and reasonable, to the Nine Shadows Kingdom. Moreover, according to the intelligence claims, this kind of countermeasure of not using gold and silver, but only buying and selling the Nine Shadow Bows with materials, makes us secretly collapse the production and economic plan of the Nine Shadows Country, and also makes the warehouses of the Nine Shadows Kingdom more and more full in a short time. The prices of the Nine Shadows Country will also fall, and the living standards of the ghost people under his rule will also improve. Xiao Shizhu was too cunning, he countered our army. ”。

With a loud "pop", Emperor Xudu angrily closed the notebook that he hadn't looked at a few times, his face was already full of iron, and his facial features were full of anger.

The temperature around him plummeted as the murderous aura on his body skyrocketed and shot fast. Fierce yin winds shot out in all directions.

In addition to the centipede beads and luminous beads, the everlasting lamps lit with mermaid ointment in the main hall were all shaken a few times in the wind and suddenly extinguished.

The originally brightly lit hall suddenly darkened a little.

Like the prospect of this plan of the Northern Yin Dynasty, it was dim.

originally wanted to use this to drag down the economy and development of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, but Xiao Shizhu's easy move to crack the conspiracy of the Northern Yin Dynasty was completely cracked, and he also used this to use his strength to try to drag down the Northern Yin Dynasty.

It's not that the Northern Yin Dynasty is incompetent, it's that their opponent Xiao Shizhu is too strong.

For the first time in his life, Emperor Xudu felt that he had met an opponent, the fear and unquenchable anger of a terrible opponent.

When the Emperor Xudu was furious, he said in a deep voice: "Reincarnation King, then why don't you stop acquiring the Nine Shadows Bow as soon as possible?"

This is the only thing Emperor Xudu can think of at present, how to stop the loss in time.

"Your Majesty, it's too late. The Wheel King's lips trembled slightly, and he replied in horror: "Of all the merchants who worked for our court, a few also paid a deposit of one hundred Nine Shadow Bows. And it was delivered in accordance with the rules formulated by the Nine Shades Country now, and the gold and silver currency were not delivered, but all kinds of equivalent materials were directly transported to the Nine Shades Country. In the event of a default, those materials will not be able to be recovered, not to mention, most of these businessmen have borrowed money in order to earn more intermediate prices, and buy a large number of various kinds of materials. Within half a month, in most areas under the rule of the imperial court, the prices of many materials doubled. Merchants can no longer sell the goods they hold at the same price as when they first purchased them. And these businessmen don't know this information yet, and they are still buying all kinds of materials in large quantities, without restraint. ”。

That is to say, if they do not continue to buy and sell, these merchants will lose money, and the court will not have to pay for them, and they will even have no money to accompany them. After a pause, the reincarnation king lowered his head and continued to say in frustration: "In order to bring down the Nine Shadows Kingdom as soon as possible, the minister secretly hired more than 1,000 merchants, which means that more than 1,000 industries and production workshops under the rule of the imperial court will suddenly stop planning and face the crisis of industrial shrinkage or collapse. When the time comes, countless craftsmen and servants will lose their livelihood jobs, and it will be time for us to stir up a popular uprising. ”。

Emperor Xudu suddenly felt a sense of suffocation hit him, and a trace of despair flashed in his eyes.

"Then what do you say?" The helpless Emperor Xudu could only grit his teeth in resentment.

"Your Majesty, complete the deal, and then terminate the plan. The king of reincarnation had already taken a countermeasure, and he thought of a way in front of the palace gate, and said it without reservation at this time: "In this way, although we will lose a lot, we will not be seriously injured in the end, and there is still time to recover, otherwise, suddenly terminating the plan will only bring down the court." Moreover, it is better to distribute the previous transactions and plans in full, and also to pay the merchant the principal and commissions in full. ”。

After hearing this, Emperor Xudu gritted his teeth again, and his eyes burned with rage......

At what time of night, the lantern hovered in the Nine Shadows Kingdom, and the high platform on the edge of the square was in the air like stars falling from the sky.

Around the high platform where the smell of wine is diffused, singing and dancing.

In the tall building on the high platform, Wu Xiaoshen held the wine lord, but he didn't drink much. He and Jin Ti were silent all night in the midst of the bustle and hustle.

And most of the time, they are watching Xiao Shizhu's every move.

Not for anything else, just to protect the safety of Xiao Shizhu.

Although the ghosts who entered the palace tonight were strictly searched and reviewed, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no outlaws who will take advantage of the excitement to sneak in and assassinate Xiao Shizhu.

Jin Lei and Wu Xiaoshen, who are in charge of security work, naturally dare not be careless.

Moreover, Lin Cong, who had never shown up from beginning to end, was still in the palace guards, arranging Xuanjiao disciples so that he could be rescued at any time.

Now it has been a long time since the banquet was held, after three rounds of wine, five flavors of food, and Xiao Shizhu, who was slightly drunk, left the table and danced with the dancing girls in the beautiful music.

For Xiao Shizhu, the king of the Nine Shadows, it is such a majestic, in the eyes of the Qingqiu Fox King, it is novel, Xiao Shizhu is extremely mediocre, and it is a little ridiculous.

But in the eyes of Jin Lei and Wu Xiaoshen, all this is dangerous.

They had to watch Xiao Shizhu more closely, and at the same time, they also paid attention to the situation around them anytime and anywhere.

After the dance, fortunately nothing happened, Wu Xiaoshen and Jin Lei breathed a sigh of relief.

The musicians went to rest for a while, and the dancers retreated. Xiao Shizhu, who was not so happy, walked back to his throne and filled the wine in his hand with fine wine again.

Then, he raised his left hand and raised his index finger, and the palace man at the door saw this, holding a drumstick, and gently tapped the small drum beside him.

The drums sounded, and there was a sudden silence inside and outside the high-rise building on the stage. So much so that Xiao Shizhu, who coughed at the same time and cleared his throat, made a sound that was extremely clear and obvious.

He held the wine lord high, burped, and walked to the Qingqiu Fox King step by step, suddenly stretched out his hand, and grabbed the Qingqiu Fox King's wrist.

The four guards behind the fox king suddenly became nervous, and their right hands quickly clenched the handle of the long knife hanging from their waists, and their eyes were also focused on Xiao Shizhu's every move.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Shizhu pulled the Fox King to stand up, faced the other ministers, and said loudly: "Today is not only a happy day for the Qingqiu Fox King to be an envoy to our country, but also an important day to prove that our two countries are peaceful and work together. ”。

Xiao Shizhu, who is slightly drunk, has a bit of a big tongue when he speaks, and his words are not so clear.

But the sound he made when he carried the ghost qi was like thunder in the sky, and it spread throughout the building and beyond.

"And the sincerity of the Qingqiu Fox King, and the sincerity of peace, also touched me very much. Xiao Shizhu, who squinted slightly, said very boldly: "Today not only proves that our two countries can continue to coexist peacefully for a long time, but also a good day for this king and the Qingqiu fox king to become brothers." ”。

Xiao Shizhu's sudden decision, without the slightest warning, came so suddenly, making all the ghosts present slightly stunned, including the Qingqiu Fox King who was still holding his wrist.
