This was not a big voice, but to Jiang Ziwen's ears, it was like a thunderbolt from the sky, which shocked his mind and made his ears ring.

He opened his lips slightly like this, and looked at Xiao Shizhu in a daze. The arms hanging at the sides of the body shivered in the wide sleeved robe.

Ah Zhong was not only his servant after he came to the underworld, they had already known each other in the world long before Jiang Ziwen's body was destroyed.

After thousands of years of friendship, Jiang Ziwen suddenly received the news of the other party's death, how could he not stay where he was?

"The day after you made this request, I sent an agent to pick him up, but it was late, sorry! Xiao Shizhu said with a guilty face, and handed the crumpled note in his hand that he had inadvertently crumpled to Jiang Ziwen to look at: "It is said that Ah Zhong was driven out of the Ghost Judgment Hall when you came to our country and fell into the streets; ”。

Jiang Ziwen took the note in a daze, his eyes slowly turned, and after scanning the content on the paper, the stunned eyes gradually turned into resentment.

Although Xiao Shizhu didn't say it, and the intelligence didn't say that it was the Emperor Xudu who drove Ah Zhong out of the Ghost Judgment Palace, but after all, Jiang Ziwen didn't become an official in the city of Xudu overnight, and he knew that this must be allowed by the Emperor Xudu. Otherwise, the ghosts in the hall of ghost judgment, how can they not get used to Ah Zhong's virtue of being powerful and blessed in the past, at most, after Jiang Ziwen was in trouble, he left Ah Zhong to do a lot of dirty work, and he would not be said to be killed.

Jiang Ziwen came to his senses, clenched the note in his hand with red eyes, and gritted the two rows of teeth in his mouth, and secretly swore with anger rising in his heart: "Old thief, I must pay the price of blood and tears!"

Xiao Shizhu didn't know what to say, so he had to comfort in a bitter voice: "The ghost can't be resurrected after death, you mourn, don't be too sad and hurt your body." ”。

After Jiang Ziwen nodded his head, he hurriedly raised his hand to wipe away the tears that couldn't help but flow out of the corners of his eyes.....

In the Luofu Mountain, which is surrounded by endless trees, it is still so hot that the ghosts are suffocated. On the streets where cursing is heard one after another, scrawny ghost slaves can still be seen everywhere, and they are working hard under the whipping of the guards.

At the top of the mountain, on Du Ziren's Luofu Palace, it was quiet at this time.

The green tendons on his forehead burst out, his eyebrows were upside down, and Du Ziren, whose face was full of anger, sat silently on his throne, looking at the few civil and military generals under him with round eyes.

None of the ghosts present expected that Xiao Shizhu's revenge was so fast, and at the same time, the methods were strange and cruel.

The 70,000 elite soldiers and good generals gathered by Du Ziren were reduced to nothing in just one month. Even the Ba Snake Army, which was later sent to recover the lost territory, suddenly lost contact half a month ago, as if it had evaporated out of thin air from the land of the Southern Barbarians.

Subsequently, Du Ziren also organized several retaliatory attacks against Chongshan Pass, but they all ended in heavy casualties and returned in vain, and the revenge army sent by Xiao Shizhu was still happily carrying out raids and raids in the north of his vast territory.

This force, which penetrated deep into the enemy's territory, often pointed out and attacked the east and west, which made the southern barbarian generals unable to guard against it and had a headache at the same time.

Everywhere they went, they violated the hierarchy of the underworld for thousands of years, and they unscrupulously opened warehouses and released grain, and instead of capturing the ghost slaves under Du Ziren, they released them all, causing many civil uprisings to occur one after another in the land of Nanban.

What Du Ziren couldn't understand the most was the defenders of Chongshan Pass, originally in response to Xiao Shizhu's attack, Du Ziren planned to come and go to the Nine Hidden Kingdom. However, the southern border of the enemy country is full of mountains and mountains, and if you don't take the heavy mountain pass first, you won't be able to open the gateway to the Nine Hidden Countries.

He can send troops to attack Chongshan Pass several times, but they have never returned.

This is what puzzles Du Ziren the most!

Obviously, not long ago, his sergeant shot and killed the general of Chongshan Pass, which is said to be tantamount to destroying the spiritual pillar of the border army of Jiuyou Country, at least the defenders of Chongshan Pass will also be afraid of the Southern Barbarian Army because of this.

But he soon found out that he was wrong. The spiritual pillar of the Nine Shadows National Army has always been not just a general, but Xiao Shizhu, who sits high on the Tianquan Hall in the Yuque Palace.

And under the leadership of Xiao Shizhu, every soldier in the Nine Shadows Kingdom, and even the unarmed grass people, have also developed a good habit of revenge.

Therefore, Bai Jin's sacrifice made the defenders guarding the Chongshan Pass, and even all the border troops on the southern border of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, wish that the Southern Barbarian Army would automatically send them to the door, so that they could kill the enemy happily and vent their anger.

Du Ziren realized at this moment that he was not pinching soft persimmons at all, but stirring up a hornet's nest.

Deep in his heart, a trace of remorse inadvertently rose.

And he summoned a few ministers today, just to discuss the war against the Nine Shadows Kingdom, there is no need to continue?

"Your Majesty. After the ghosts were silent for a long time, a one-eyed soul wearing dark gray heavy armor, holding a sword, bowed to Du Ziren, and shouted out the wishful thinking in his heart: "The Nine Hidden Countries are only ten counties of land, and they have only experienced a few major battles, and their vitality has been greatly damaged, and the few defeats over our army are nothing more than luck, not strength." At this time, if you can strike while the iron is hot, you will be able to destroy this country in one fell swoop. ”。

As soon as these words came out, they immediately resonated with the generals present, and with greed in their eyes, they nodded without thinking, and said in a gossipy manner: "Yes, Your Majesty, the Nine Shadows Kingdom is nothing more than good luck." ”。

"Luck can't happen every time. ”。

"Continuing to attack at this time can have the effect of striking while the iron is hot. ”......

The huge hall immediately became noisy.

Du Ziren's head was big for a while, and he couldn't help frowning; Obviously, Xiao Shizhu is unstoppable at present, but he still doesn't know how to avoid its edge.

Du Ziren listened to their emotional and excited words, and they all began to doubt themselves, how did they recruit such a group of brave and unscrupulous ghosts to be their subordinates?

His eyes full of disgust swept across the faces of the noisy ministers, and finally landed on the calm face of one of the civil officials.

"Huh?" Du Ziren's soft surprise made the generals who were talking to themselves suddenly quiet, and then he looked at the calm clear eyes of the civil official, and asked, "Song Dingbo, why don't you speak?"

Before his death, Song Dingbo was the one recorded in the books of the world, and it was said that he was a ghost seller in Nanyang.

Generally, this kind of human soul has only one ending when he goes to the underworld, that is, after being convicted of abducting and selling ghosts, he is thrown to hell to suffer forever;

Since then, this human soul has managed all the ghost slaves in Nanban for Du Ziren. For the sake of high-ranking officials, he Song Dingbo even did not hesitate to curry favor with Du Ziren, and formulated the bastard rule that whenever a female ghost slave marries, she must first sleep with Du Ziren on the first night.

While pleasing Du Ziren, it made many ghost slaves in the Southern Barbarians fear their ruler.

But he forgot that he Song Dingbo is also a ghost now, so this is tantamount to frying each other, why is he too anxious?

"Your Majesty. Seeing him ask, Song Dingbo hurriedly bowed his hand and said slowly: "There is an ancient saying in the two worlds of yin and yang, which is called to be safe first in the outside. Presumably, Your Majesty also knows this. ”。

"Now the foreign war might as well be slowed down. In the silence, Song Dingbo paused and said a suggestion to the left with most of his colleagues: "Your Majesty is the emperor, not only against the capital, but also against the Mo family." In this way, if you continue to be the enemy of Xiao Shizhu, you will inevitably be embattled. ”。

As soon as he said this, although he received the angry eyes of many main generals, he also received Du Ziren's slight chin and approval.

You continue. Du Ziren glared at the generals who were about to open their mouths to refute, and told them to shut up immediately.

"The information we have received is that the Mo family has begun to operate. They sent the Ink Warrior and the Ink Warrior to infiltrate our country, assassinate the generals, and burn down the granaries and armories. Song Dingbo nodded his head and said proudly: "And if you go outside, you must first settle inside, and Your Majesty was also a disciple of the Mo family, you should know that the Mo family's power in the underworld is not small, and solving the threat of Mo Zhai and the Mo family first is the top priority, otherwise our country will fall into internal and external troubles." ”。

As everyone knows, the driving force behind all this is Xiao Shizhu.

After Du Ziren was silent for a long time, he agreed with Song Dingbo's plan at the first point, but at the same time asked: "What should I do with Xiao Shizhu's attack?"

"The Nine Shadows Kingdom has only experienced several major wars, and has captured the land of the former Fire King Wu Hui, and it is in urgent need of stability everywhere. Song Dingbo raised the corners of his mouth and showed a sly smile: "As long as Your Majesty sends an envoy to the Nine Shadows Kingdom to sue for peace and sign a truce agreement with it, Xiao Shizhu must also be unable to ask for it." ”。

"Peace?" The military general who had just taken the lead in speaking couldn't hold back any longer, strode up to Song Dingbo, glared angrily at the other party who was a head shorter than him, and said in a deep voice: "Do you know what you're talking about?

Song Dingbo didn't reply, just looked at him with a smile, and there was a faint contempt in his eyes.

"Shut up!" Du Ziren suddenly scolded angrily: "There are brave and unscrupulous things, I don't know how to avoid its edge, let me go back to your position." ”。

When the military general heard this, he hurriedly lowered his head and replied "No!", and retreated to the place where he had been standing with an unwilling face.

"Just do what Song Qing's family said. Du Ziren had already made up his mind, and after his eyes swept over the faces of the ministers below, he fell on Song Dingbo's face: "But who should be sent to this peace envoy?"

"I am willing to send an envoy to the Nine Shadows Kingdom for Your Majesty. Song Dingbo immediately met and bowed slowly: "We will definitely live up to our mission, and we will definitely sign this truce agreement." ”。
