The north wind, which was rampaging through the city of twilight, roared like a tiger, unscrupulously demonstrating its mad power to everything in the heavens and the earth. But when the north wind hit the magic circle in the courtyard of the house where Xiao Shizhu was, the strong force brought up instantly disappeared without a trace like a mud cow entering the sea.

The sharp sword shadows in the magic circle were vertical and horizontal, the swaying sword light flickered, and the gusts of wind were rampant, and the ground was already full of holes, completely unrecognizable.

Xiao Fuling, who was dressed in the wind, used ghostly magic skills one after another, wandering between the five Xuanjiao disciples out of nowhere, in order to avoid their attacks, and at the same time, he also gave those disciples some surprise attacks.

Xiao Poria's sword fingers and magic tricks were linked to each other, and the five long swords that were all out of the sheath had a fierce murderous aura, and with Xiao Poria's sword tricks turning back and forth in the magic circle, the sword light was like stars, and the sword shadow turned into a whirlwind. forced the five Xuanjiao disciples to use their hands and feet together, and they were still stumbling, and they were overwhelmed.

The battle was in full swing in the magic circle, and outside the magic circle, Xiao Shizhu was already chatting with Wu Qiuyuan.

"Actually, the lord should already have an idea, right?" Under Xiao Shizhu's inquiring gaze, Wu Qiu Yuan smiled meaningfully and asked slowly: "Does the lord want to continue to secretly pass on the information about the Xudu Army in Fenglin Continent to Zhen Xuan and Ying Long in the name of Nulu?"

Xiao Shizhu smiled and said nothing, what he needed was opinions and nothing else.

Wu Qiuyuan thought for a moment, and then realized that there was another deep groan. After another moment, Wu Qiu Yuan said again: "This plan is feasible, it can be very effective to make the Fenglin Continent in trouble, the Northern Yin Dynasty is difficult to gain a firm foothold in the continent, and the Emperor Xudu will have no time to separate himself and take care of other things." ”。

Xiao Shizhu was still silent and listened quietly. Wu Qiu Yuan paused, and then said, "If necessary, I can also reveal the upcoming military operation of the Northern Yin Dynasty against Fenglin Continent to them. By the way, the beastly behavior of the Xudu Army in Fenglin Continent and the slaughter of local ghost people at every turn were exaggerated and announced to the world. ”。

After saying this, Wu Qiuyuan stopped speaking.

Wu Qiuyuan's advice is very pertinent, but if he wants to put forward more, it will inevitably be a little difficult for Wu Qiuyuan, who is not very experienced.

But Xiao Shizhu wanted Wu Qiuyuan to be in charge of this task, so he was no longer silent. Slowly spoke, and said to Wu Qiuyuan: "The advice you gave is good, but your eyes are on Fenglinzhou, you should see farther." If the Emperor of Xudu can stab out the matter that was quietly resolved after incurring the Emperor of Fenglin Continent, then the majesty of the Emperor of Xudu and the people's hearts of the Northern Yin Dynasty will be in jeopardy. ”。

At this point, Xiao Shizhu couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips, and a treacherous one appeared.

Wu Qiu Yuan inherited his father's mantle, and he was also an intelligence worker in the Nine Shadows Kingdom. The matter mentioned by Xiao Shizhu was top-secret news from the Six Heavens Divine Ghost Palace of the Northern Yin Dynasty, although few ghosts knew it in the Nine Shadows Kingdom, but he was one of the few people who knew about it.

Listening to Xiao Shizhu's slight pluck, Wu Qiuyuan suddenly opened like a mouth, and immediately realized.

In this way, the entire Beiyin Dynasty will fall into a new round of public opinion pressure, and it is inevitable that people will be panicked. Moreover, the other ghost kingdoms who had been willing to surrender to the Beiyin Dynasty and accepted their recruitment would naturally be jealous of the Beiyin Dynasty.

They are even worried that they will follow in the footsteps of those few who have been incurred, and then secretly execute the Hades Queen, and they will naturally have two hearts with the Northern Yin Dynasty, and it will be difficult to unite again.

If Emperor Xudu wants to learn Xiao Shizhu's trick and gather the power of ten thousand ghosts to fight against the strategy of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, he will naturally be self-defeating. Moreover, the situation in Fenglin Continent is already stable, and it will be broken subsequently.

"It seems that it won't be long before the Northern Yin Dynasty will be busy again. Wu Qiuyuan, who smiled slightly, already understood, and then complimented Xiao Shizhu: "It's still the lord who is wise." ”。

"Don't say those sycophants, it sounds comfortable but it's a flash in the pan. Without further ado, I'm going to leave this to you. Xiao Shizhu smiled disapprovingly, and at the same time picked up a big kumquat from the fruit plate at hand and threw it to Wu Qiuyuan, seeing that there were no outsiders around, he said bluntly: "Do it well, just follow the idea you said, how can you make the Beiyin Dynasty and the Emperor Xudu busy, then how to secretly use the means." From now on, this matter is left to you. ”。

Wuqiu Yuanden was flattered, his eyes immediately widened, and he was stunned in place with the big kumquat in his hand, unable to calm down for a long time. After a long time, Wu Qiuyuan, who had only come to his senses, hurriedly responded and assured Xiao Shizhu: "Please rest assured, the minister will do his best to handle this matter properly." ”。

The voice was sonorous and powerful, loud and full of confidence.

The north wind was still strong and powerful, blowing the grass and trees outside the courtyard for a while, and the continuous sound of rustling kept coming, bringing a depression of twilight.

Xiao Shizhu stood up slowly and raised his eyes to look at the magic circle. The ground has long been unrecognizable, but the outside is already a landscape as well. The battle in the circle had stopped, and his daughter's five long swords flew into the air, each resting on the necks of the five Xuanjiao.

And the five Xuanjiao disciples around Xiao Poria, the five scimitars of different lengths in their hands also pointed at the five key points on Xiao Poria's body without exception.

It seems that the two sides are tied, which is a little unsatisfactory, but in Xiao Shizhu's opinion, her daughter's cultivation has improved. If this had been placed a year ago, my daughter would have been the one who was beaten on the ground. Xiao Shizhu's face once again showed a look of satisfaction, and with a flick of his sleeve, Xuanli floated out of his sleeve and floated towards the talisman that formed the magic circle.

In an instant, the light emitted by the talisman faded, and the magic circle also dispersed. Xiao Shizhu, who was in a flickering figure, appeared behind Xiao Fuling out of thin air in the next second, looked around at the Xuanjiao disciples, and said slowly: "Thank you for your hard work." ”。

After finishing speaking, he saw that several disciples had blue noses and swollen faces, and said, "Go and find a ghost to heal your wounds." ”。

The few Xuanjiao disciples then collected their weapons, and after bowing to Xiao Shizhu in unison, they left together. Before leaving, he didn't forget to cast an admiring look at Xiao Fuling.

After watching them leave, Xiao Shizhu slowly retracted his gaze, looked his daughter up and down for a while, and saw that on her white dress like snow, there was no blood stain or even dirt. After recalling that several of his subordinates were injured because they were still merciful, they were very relieved.

"Poria, swordsmanship has improved again. Xiao Shizhu stretched out his hand, rubbed the flying sword indiscriminately, looked up at his Xiao Fuling's head with a smile, and said with a light smile: "Let's go, accompany you Laozi and I to have a meal, and after eating, we will go back to Yuque City." ”。

Xiao Fuling instantly became well-behaved, nodded her head a little, took Xiao Shizhu's broad palm, and followed Xiao Shizhu forward......

After several days of snowstorms, there was ice all over the Xuanyuan City, and even under the eaves in front of the houses in the city, icicles were blowing. Under the light of the cloudy day, the city was filled with dazzling light. The cold air rose slowly in the sunlight and spread through the city.

The cold chill traveled around the city with the cold air, trying to freeze all the living things in the city.

The Xudu troops stationed in it were all in full array. In addition to ordering the closed city gates, the local ghost officials also imposed a curfew, so that the ghost soldiers tirelessly patrolled the city over and over again. Even the forts and high walls of the city were fortified.

It seems that the failure of Ji Meng's expedition to Flying Frost Valley a few days ago has brought a slight psychological shadow to the Xudu army here. Such a tight guard is like facing a great enemy, and there is a deep tension in the coldness of the city.

In the city, the most heavily guarded one is a hut in the south of the Yellow Emperor's Palace.

Outside this lonely hut, there were dozens of heavily armed ghost soldiers, as well as more than a dozen ghost cha holding water and fire sticks made of Dushuo Mountain's large peach wood, and a few supernatural ghosts who were proficient in ghost magic.

And the closed doors and windows of the house are also covered with runic seals painted with delicate runes.

These sigils, the ghosts guarding outside, and the swords and guns in the hands of those ghosts, tightly blocked the hut and made it isolated from the world.

In this dimly lit hut with closed doors and windows, except for a simple wooden bed and a nightincense barrel, all that remained were cobwebs and large clouds of dust on the beams.

Tae-bong, who had a heavy shackle around his neck, sat alone on a small broken bed in the middle of the room. The heavy shackles weighed on his shoulders, and the unbearable pain reached the cervical and lumbar spine, making it difficult for him to stand up after he sat on the bed.

Tai Feng had no choice but to sit on the bed and close his eyes to recuperate.

But what was heavier than the pain of the shackles was the suspicion and distrust of his comrades, and the humiliation of imprisoning him like a prisoner, which had been churning in his chest like a raging wave.

This humiliation made Tai Feng's heart cloak and made him resentful.

He has been loyal to the Beiyin Dynasty for thousands of years, and he has never rebelled, so he almost died with all his might. But even after paying so much, he was still imprisoned, and Tai Feng's heart was like a knife.

"Open the door. Just when Tae-bong was secretly sad, a rough voice came from outside the door.

Immediately afterwards, there was a clattering sound of chains clashing at the gate, and the chains that were staying at the gate were opened by the sergeants guarding the door.

Then, the door was slammed open through the outer door, and a strong light blew into the house with the strong wind that came after opening the door.

Under the dust flying, Taifeng suddenly opened his eyes, but under the dazzling strong light, he hurriedly squinted.

A green-faced and fanged officer strode in with a ghost slave holding a bowl of gruel with clear soup and little water. They came to Tai Feng and stood still, and their bodies blocked the dazzling bright light cast from outside the house for Tai Feng.

"Do you dare to imprison me?" Tai Feng, who was still listless, suddenly widened his eyes, glared angrily at the officer with a serious face in front of him, and asked almost with a roar: "I went to the soup for the Beiyin Dynasty, I was born and died, I am a hero of the Beiyin Dynasty and Your Majesty! You dare to treat me like this?"

Under his angry roar, the officer's face still did not change, looking directly at Tai Feng's eyes full of anger, his eyes were still not frightened, and only after Tai Feng's angry roar was finished, he slowly spoke: "This is not called imprisonment; after all, your identity is relatively special, and we need to be verified by the imperial court before we can return your freedom." ”。

After a pause, the officer glanced at the wooden flail hanging from Tai Feng's neck, and then said, "I am so strict with you, it is just because you are too dangerous to possess the magic of gods and ghosts, please forgive me." ”。

After finishing speaking, the officer told the ghost slave to feed Tai Feng porridge and then turned around and left.

Taifeng, who was trembling with anger, sat in the room and glared at him angrily and did not look back.
