[452] How to report
In fact, Hai Laoweng is still Lai Yueqi's benefactor, back then, when Yanshi was still very powerful in the underworld, Lai Yueqi escaped and was chased and killed by Yanshi.
Just when Lai Yueqi was at the end of her rope, Hai Laoweng lent a helping hand to her in time. Although Hai Lao Weng also took a fancy to Lai Yueqi's secret skills of Yanshi, he had the courage to take Lai Yueqi in time of crisis, and taught the other party the disguise technique, so that Lai Yueqi could use this to avoid pursuit, so in Lai Yueqi's opinion, Hai Laoweng's soul is also her benefactor.
After that, the two ghosts began to trade, and maintained this friendship that they had forgotten for many years.
Now that she suddenly got the news that Hai Lao Weng had passed away, it was like a bolt from the blue, and when she was shocked, regret kept appearing in her heart.
If she remembers correctly, Hai Laoweng said that he would be reincarnated in a few decades. But it is precisely because of this that the ghost who died in the underworld has no future at all, and the regret in Lai Yueqi's heart will not stop.
After being stunned for a long time, Lai Yueqi muttered in a daze: "How can this be?" From the bottom of her heart, she still didn't want to believe the fact that the old drunkard had died.
Hai Quan, who had stopped sobbing, then said: "The soldiers of the Xudu Army who came to inform my father of his death said that my father's death was due to the assassins sent by the Nine Shadows Kingdom. ”。
When he said this, the sadness on Hai Wan's face became a little heavier.
"Impossible!" Lai Yueqi was slightly stunned, and blurted out between frowning: "My lord, the Nine Shadows King has been on patrol for nearly half a year, and he doesn't know that Hai Laoweng has gone to the Calf Pass to serve the Northern Yin Dynasty." What's more, Hai Lao Weng is not an important figure in the Northern Yin Dynasty, and it is impossible for the lord to keep an eye on your father at any time. ”。
Although she also knew that Xiao Shizhu was very despicable many times, and the yin tricks and bad moves were endless, but the shameless thing that could not be obtained would be destroyed, and the proud Nine Shadows King still disdained to do it.
"I know, I read a joint letter from King Jiuyou and Aunt Lai to your father, inviting my father to serve in the Nine Shadows Kingdom. Hai Quan, who nodded, raised his hand and pointed to the letter in Lai Yueqi's hand, and then said slowly: "And my father also mentioned in the letter that although the King of the Nine Shadows is despicable, the ghost who is thirsty for talent is not so good. ”。
Seeing that Lai Yueqi was still so polite, a sense of intimacy surged in Hai Quan's heart, and his mouth was unstoppable; fortunately, Lai Yueqi would not bother with him, and the Nine Shadows Kingdom did not have so many rules of respect and inferiority, otherwise Hai Quan's head would have fallen to the ground at this time.
When Lai Yueqi heard this, she hurriedly opened the letter in her hand and looked at it carefully, and found that it was exactly the same as what Hai Qian said.
At the same time, Yang Fengfeng, who had been away for a long time, had already strode in with two female ghosts dressed in large-sleeved palace clothes woven of silky brocade. A female ghost held a hot tea that had just been brewed in her hand, using the young leaves of the feather people and clouds, and it was served in a green jade tea cup. The other female ghost is holding a purple jade plate with a bamboo pattern inscription, which is neatly arranged with frost peaches that will only ripen after autumn, Han Zhong Li that has been ripened for decades and cut dragon liver melon, and begonia cake that looks like a begonia flower.
And what Yang Dingfeng was carrying was a clean red sandalwood carved chair.
After Yang Fengfeng placed the chair next to Lai Yueqi, in the gap between the two bookcases, the palace maids put the fruit bowl and tea on the bookcase that was cleaned up.
After reading Hai Laoweng's letter, Lai Yueqi asked Hai to sit down. Hai Qian was not in a hurry to eat or drink tea, but continued after the palace maid retreated: "So, I also thought that there must be fraud in it. That's why the soldiers of the Xudu Army left, and I took a look at the blueprints of the dragon lance and hid in the city, secretly observing my family's homestead. But that night, the house caught fire for no reason. ”。
At the same time, his eyes were filled with hatred, and his hands couldn't help but clench, and there was a continuous clicking sound on his knuckles.
"Was it an accident caused by the Beiyin Dynasty?" Lai Yueqi was not stupid, judging from the content of the letter, she immediately guessed the greatest possibility.
"Yes, Aunt Lai, you know that my father still has something to do with the underworld in Xudu. Seeing that Lai Yueqi nodded, Hai Jian said again: "We caught a ghost who set fire, and we knew that it was Xiao Lao Qian, who was wandering in the casino in Xudu, and according to his confession, it was a human soul named Gong Mingyi who sent him. ”。
After thinking for a while, Lai Yueqi raised her eyes and looked at Yang Fengfeng with an inquiring gaze: "Who is Gong Mingyi? Is it under our surveillance? What is the official position in the Beiyin Dynasty?"
Yang Fengfeng left the secret agent industry and has been Lai Yueqi's personal guard for many years, and she was at a loss when she suddenly asked.
After racking his brains to recall for a long time, he still doesn't remember that there is such a ghost official in the Beiyin Dynasty. So he had to shake his head silently at Lai Yueqi.
"He is the first to be promoted by Emperor Xudu, and I only know so much after many inquiries. He said, pulling out a painttube from his trouser leg.
Hai Qian stretched out his hand and caressed the barrel, and the eyes that looked at the painting tube in his hand also became melancholy and deep. The painting tube contained nothing else, it was the design of the dragon spear developed by his father, Hai Laoweng.
Gradually, there was a faint nostalgia in Hai Quan's eyes, and after wandering for a long time, Hai Qian still handed the painting tube to Lai Yueqi: "This is the design of the fire dragon gun, the fire bomb can explode high-temperature flames, so it is named the fire dragon gun; And my father's letter also mentioned that if he dies, he will hand over the drawings to Aunt Lai. ”。
"So, Hai Lao Weng didn't tell the Beiyin Dynasty that the fire dragon spear would explode?" Lai Yueqi took the drawing, although she was also curious about how powerful this fire dragon spear was, she didn't rush to open it.
Before the words came out, there was a subtle hint of excitement in her eyes and between her eyebrows, mixed with a little anticipation, expecting that in response to her question, Hai exhausted replied nodding yes.
But the voice had just landed, and Lai Yueqi was also glad. Although she was her benefactor, she also knew too well the ghosts as a black-market firearms dealer, who often moved between factions, often selling a piece of technology to multiple factions behind their backs.
In order to ensure that the war between the various forces will not end immediately, so as to benefit from it forever.
Obviously, at the beginning, Hai Lao Weng did not intend to provide the technology of the fire dragon gun to the Nine Shadows Kingdom. And it has been briefly mentioned in the letter that the lethality of the fire dragon gun is not small. If it weren't for the death of Hai Laoweng, and before his death, he expected that he was likely to be unloaded and killed a donkey, then after the technology of the fire dragon spear would be monopolized by the Northern Yin Dynasty, the Nine Shadows Kingdom would still be unaware of it, and then in the future war between the two countries, the casualties of the soldiers of the Nine Shadows Kingdom would inevitably be not small.
Thinking about this, Lai Yueqi suddenly felt a little afraid.
After hearing this, Hai Qian did not hesitate at all, and immediately nodded and said: "My father vaguely felt that he would most likely die because of the unloading and killing of donkeys in the Beiyin Dynasty, so he kept one hand. ”。
After speaking, he lifted the hot tea that had cooled a little, blew it gently, and took a sip of the fragrant tea in the cup.
His father's entrustment had been completed, and Hai Qian showed a look of relief, then put down the teacup and stood up, waiting for Lai Yueqi's arrangement.
Lai Yueqi, who was a little secretly happy when she heard this, tried her best to keep her face unchanged, and after putting down the painting tube, she said to Hai Quan: "I will immediately inform the lord of these things, and ask you to stay and serve the Nine Shadows Kingdom." ”。
Hai exhausted the true inheritance of Hai Laoweng, and is also a master of firearms manufacturing, Lai Yueqi will never let go of such a ghost; not to mention that Hai Quancai's family is ruined and desperate to come to seek refuge, Lai Yueqi will not do anything to ignore it and let the heirs of the benefactor destroy themselves.
And the kid doesn't have as much of a slippery head as Hai Laoweng, and because of Hai Laoweng's death, Hai Duan has some hatred for the Beiyin Dynasty. If you want to avenge Hai Laoweng, Hai Qian can only rely on the only Nine Shadows Kingdom that can confront the Northern Yin Dynasty, so Lai Yueqi believes that Hai Exhaustion will not betray the Nine Shadows Kingdom.
"Thank you, Aunt Lai. Hai exhausted his eyes and bowed gratefully.
"Yang Fengfeng, you take him down to rest first, and arrange him in the Ordnance Supervision Bureau first. After Lai Yueqi signaled that Hai exhausted no need to be polite, she explained to Yang Fengfeng: "Call Mu Xian'er again and let her start studying the fire dragon gun immediately." ”......
The cold wind of winter, with a strong yin air and chic, blew through the withered capital city, and raised the mourning flags hanging on the doors of every household in the city.
With a frown on his brow and a sad face, the Wheel King walked slowly down the cold street, heading towards the king's hall in front of the River Styx, which had come from the east of the city, crossed in front of Mount Rayu, and headed west.
When he came to stand in front of the palace of the Yama King, which was in charge of the Song Emperor, under the watchful eyes of the ghost officials on duty at the door, and looked at the clusters of evil cats curled up in front of the door and on the stone steps, and the blue-scaled serpent muttered for a moment, the Wheel King still walked towards the main hall.
Standing on the dim hall, the Wheel King looked around left and right, and saw that the pillar carved with the human soul pattern of being hung upside down and gouging out of the eyes, as well as scraping the bones, was crawling with all kinds of poisonous insects, which had not changed for thousands of years, and the Wheel King put away his sad face, raised his eyes to meet the Song Emperor who was smiling and walking towards him slowly: "Emperor Song, you are still the same here." ”。
"Rare guest, I remember that it seems that the last time you came to my Great King's Palace, it was a hundred years ago. Emperor Song, who was standing opposite the Wheel King, smiled and saluted the Wheel King.
"yes, it's been a long time. During the greetings, after the Wheel King returned the salute, he looked around at the left and right, and after a few glances at the ghost officials who were lined up in two rows with ghost sticks, he gave Emperor Song a look.
Emperor Song immediately understood his eyes, so he put away his smile and coughed a few times, and at the same time waved his hand to signal the ghost officials to retreat.
After a while, the ghost officials walked out of the main hall in order, and only the two ghosts of the Wheel King and the Song Emperor were left in the dim hall, and the Wheel King said: "Actually, the younger brother has something to do today, and I have come to ask the eldest brother." With these words, he took out two notebooks from his sleeve and handed them to Emperor Song.
Emperor Song, who was faintly suspicious, frowned slightly, but still reached out and took the notebook, and slowly unfolded it to look at it.
After reading the first book, Emperor Song's brows not only did not stretch, but wrinkled even tighter. The content of this recital is that the fleet that set out from Liutianzhou to Dongyi Continent to transport grain and grass supplies for the Xudu Army of the Eastern Expedition was attacked by the Nine Shadows Kingdom many times. The Xudu Army, which led to the Eastern Crusade, was not only short of food and ammunition, but was also besieged by the Corpse Soul Army in Mingfeng Valley for six days.
In the end, although under the command of King Taishan, the Xudu army broke through from the Mingfeng Valley, but the Xudu army suffered heavy casualties and had to retreat more than 100 miles to temporarily avoid the edge of the corpse soul army.
Looking at the second recital, the consternation on Emperor Song's face was even greater. The content of this book is that the Jiuyou Kingdom and the Jiwei fleet of the Northern Yin Dynasty launched a fierce battle outside the Huaishui Port, and finally the Jiwei fleet was completely annihilated. The Huaishan granary and Huaishui Port were also blown up by the Jiuyou National Army.
"How can this be?" After a long time, Emperor Song, who had not yet recovered from his shock, muttered in a daze.
"I don't know how to report to Your Majesty. The Wheel King sighed in embarrassment.
