The wind and snow outside this house are getting bigger and bigger, and they are overwhelming.

In the city outside the palace, the ground was already covered with snow, and the tiles were black.

On the way out of the city, the underworld was covered with black snow, like straight black lines, across the wilderness in the wind and snow.

The farmland that was neatly built on both sides of the Ling Canal also had a lot of snow.

Looking back at the palace, above the palace and pavilion, the snow on the jade tiles makes the past crystal clear, and it is hidden under the snow.

A chariot stopped in front of the Central Council.

The cart was pulled by two sturdy blue-black bulls, this beast soul named Xiqu ran away and could carry weight, so it was best to pull the cart.

The rectangular compartment on the car is also made of blue-black Xuanshui jade, which is not afraid of the flames of swords and axes. The shape is boxy, with four pillars supporting a roof that is high in the front and slightly lower in the back, and is surrounded by red jade crest. Inlaid glazed doors and windows, hanging tassels, ornate decoration.

In front of the top, two brass bells hang on the left and right, and the dragon-shaped ornament stands on the top of the wind chimes, and the wind chimes are also gently swaying in the wind.

This is the chariot that Xiao Shizhu walked around in the palace, but he didn't make it himself, but it was made by the ancient gods found in the palace warehouse.

Tatsuruo had already boarded the train and placed a small stove in the carriage to warm it up before getting off the train.

Xiao Shizhu held Lin Cong's notebook in his hand, walked out of the courtyard with the ghost mother, and boarded the chariot.

When they were seated in the car, the ghost mother reached out and pulled the silk thread hanging from her hand, and a bell rang outside.

Jin Lei stepped forward and walked to the front of the car to open the way. The driver in the car raised his whip and drove all the way forward with Jin Lei, heading towards the inner court.

Chen Ruo and Qing Lan followed closely behind the chariot with a few guards.

If it is in the past, although the distance from the Central Council to the inner court is not close, if Xiao Shizhu has nothing important, he would prefer to walk by himself and walk back.

However, the wind and snow were too strong today, and after he came back from Huangquan, his body was weak and afraid of the cold, and he really couldn't stand the biting wind, so he called the chariot to travel.

The coachman drove the car very steadily, Xiao Shizhu, who was sitting in the car, did not feel the bumps at all, and was still idle, and looked at Lin Cong's notebook in his hand again.

I won't be shaky and feel that the words on the notebook are dazzling.

The car was already on the car, and the elixir prepared by Su Tianju and Xiao Shizhu for him was already placed. It is mainly to improve his physique, and the elixir that temporarily maintains his ghost life is used by some tonic and miraculous medicines.

The ghost mother picked up the medicine pot, poured a bowl of medicinal soup into the glass bowl, and handed the bowl to Xiao Shizhu.

Xiao Shizhu, who closed the notebook, stared at the dark medicinal soup that looked like a blooming flower bowl, motionless, without even a ripple, smelling the faint smell of medicine, and slowly frowned: "This medicine is always sleepy after drinking, can it be spared for a day?"

"Drink it, and if you are sleepy, you will sleep. The ghost mother didn't bargain with Xiao Shizhu, but said gently: "I can do anything else for me." ”。

If the other Hades heard this, the ghost mother would be immediately pulled out of the palace gate and executed. But Xiao Shizhu listened, but his heart warmed.

Over the years, many affairs have been completed by the ghost mother with his help. But this ghost mother is not only capable, but even if she has a lot of power, she has never separated from him.

This is the same day as the sun and the moon in the court of the Nine Hidden Kingdoms.

"Thank you. Xiao Shizhu no longer resisted the medicinal soup, took the medicine bowl, and drank it all.

After a few grunts, there was no more medicinal soup left in this medicine bowl.

"There are no outsiders, what are you doing with this?" The ghost mother took the medicine bowl, took out her embroidered handkerchief, and carefully helped her husband wipe off the medicinal soup hanging on the corner of her mouth.

"Okay, I won't talk about it next time. "Xiao Shizhu, who is in front of the ghost mother, is very well-behaved most of the time.

He put down Lin Cong's notebook in his hand, and then said, "How do you see the Beiyin Dynasty intelligence points that Lin Cong chose to pull out?"

The Ghost Mother groaned.

After a while, he slowly spoke, "Although the name is different from our Wind Cave (the name of the intelligence point of the Nine Shadows Kingdom), there are many titles and aliases, so it is difficult to distinguish the priority of these points. But Lin Cong's points in the notebook, from the point of view of position, they are still relatively important to the Beiyin Dynasty, pull them out, the Beiyin Dynasty is in Fenglinzhou, that is, deaf and blind. ”。

This answer, although it is only the ghost mother's own inference, is also the result of careful consideration.

Judging from the locations of the various Northern Yin Dynasty strongholds that Lin Cong marked on the notebook to be eradicated, these intelligence points are connected into a huge network in Fenglin Continent.

It is very convenient to exchange information between each point, and it is also very fast to transmit information to the outside world.

Although these intelligence networks are not set up against the Nine Shadow Kingdom, Fenglin Continent has the alliance of the Nine Shadow Kingdoms, the remnants of the Xuanyuan Army led by Zhen Xuan and Ying Long.

Now is not the time to unify the underworld, Xiao Shizhu knows it, and the ghost mother also knows it.

As long as they are still fighting in Fenglin Continent, even if they still fight guerrilla warfare in the same mountains as now, the pressure on the Nine Shadows Kingdom in the western border will be reduced.

The puppet Hades who were raised by the Northern Yin Dynasty in Fenglin Continent had no time to take care of the Nine Shadows Kingdom.

Moreover, Zhen Xuan and Ying Long can also contain a large number of Emperor Xuan's army and Xudu army, constantly consuming the materials and money of the Northern Yin Dynasty.

Helping Zhen and Ying Long is helping the Nine Shadows.

"Yes, without these intelligence networks and points, Yu is deaf and blind in Fenglin Continent, and the ghost generals of the Northern Yin Dynasty who commanded the army in Fenglin Continent have also become deaf and blind. Xiao Shizhu nodded and agreed with the ghost mother's speculation: "The days of Zhen Xuan and Ying Long will be better." ”。

"This situation, after Lin Cong pulled out these points, he had to tell Zhen Xuan and Ying Long about it. When the car stopped, the ghost mother said, "Let them know who they owe." ”。

"Lord, **, Jue Xiang Yuan has arrived. Qinglan, who was outside the car, came to the door of the car and whispered.

Xiao Shizhu silently picked up the notebook and got out of the car with the ghost mother one after another.

When I got out of the car, I saw Su Su, a disciple of Su Tianju, standing at the gate of Jue Xiang Yuan, waiting for them.

The national teacher Yingying is no longer in the national capital, and all the affairs of this Su Tianju are handed over to this disciple to take care of. Including how to dispense medicine to Xiao Shizhu, Su Su is also responsible.

"What's the matter?" Xiao Shizhu walked to the door and asked Su Su.

"The King. Su Su didn't say anything, just made a pulse action to show Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother, and the couple knew that Su Su was here to see Xiao Shizhu.

"Come on, Susu. The ghost mother called Su Su, the child, and took her to follow Xiao Shizhu, walking slowly towards the main building in the Juexiang Garden.

Entering the building, Xiao Shizhu sat down on the rocking chair on the edge of the pool under the window, and Su Su sat beside him, stretching out two slender fingers, impartially resting on his pulse.

After this ride, Su Su frowned.

"How?" the ghost mother left Chen Ruo and Qing Lan outside the building, and asked eagerly as she followed.

"The king hasn't spent much effort recently, and his mood is also good, and there is not much sadness and excitement, which is a good thing, which is beneficial and harmless to the condition. Su Su withdrew his hand and smiled lightly: "I have to continue to maintain this state of mind, so that I can get better and better." ”。

This is not all true, at least to cure Xiao Shizhu's current illness, Su Su has no way.

Saying this, it is also somewhat relieved that Xiao Shizhu means.

As for the number of ghost lives that Xiao Shizhu lost in the Yellow Spring, it is no longer within Su Su's ability.

"Four hours later, I'll fill it again. Su Su, who got up, bowed to Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother, and then withdrew from the main building.

Xiao Shizhu also got up and yawned and stretched.

I drank this medicine, and I was really sleepy. As for the doctor's words, Xiao Shizhu just listened to it and did it, and he didn't bother to worry about the rest.

It was this medicine that made Xiao Shizhu gradually feel that his eyelids were a little heavy. Now, he really wanted to lie down for a while.

He walked slowly and walked to the side of the bed, and the ghost mother went to call Chen Ruo, prepared warm water for Xiao Shizhu, washed his face, hands and feet, and retreated.

Then he helped Xiao Shizhu take off his shoes and socks, and let Xiao Shizhu lie down on the bed.

"After an hour, call Poria and wake me up again. Xiao Shizhu, who slowly closed his eyes, said to the ghost mother: "The ghost people conference she went to hold for me, what happened at this meeting, what did the ghost people mention, I haven't understood everything clearly, I have to ask again." ”。

The ghost mother answered, brought the brocade quilt, and helped Xiao Shizhu cover the quilt......

This world is ten miles of different winds, a hundred miles of different days, and the same is true of the underworld.

The heavy snow in Yuque City has been falling for seven whole days, and it has not stopped. On the other side of Shuoyue Island, it was already a sunny day on the seventh day, and it was still a sunny day tonight.

The stars are bright and the night sky is clear.

Shuoyue Island is surrounded by waves, and it is not turbulent.

At night, the waters near the coast are much gentler. During the day, the waves, several feet high, were gone.

The tide comes and goes, gently brushing every inch of the shore of Shuoyue Island.

Further down the island, the tranquil sound of the tide could not be heard.

Except for the silence in the fields after the wind has passed, every town is bustling with activity.

The ghost market at night is noisy and noisy, and it is more than during the day.

Many towns on Shuoyue Island have been rebuilt and regained their vitality and prosperity. At night, of course, there are ghosts to be lively, and the ghost market at night has naturally become a pastime for these night owls.

The major towns are brightly lit and bright.

The downtown area of Xiaoyu Mountain City is also much more lively than other towns. From the bottom of the mountainside, there are many places where people are full of people and are very lively.

Halfway up the mountain, it's much quieter.

Yingzhao's mansion is just halfway up the mountain. In the high walls and deep courtyards, it is also not affected by the bustle of the ghost market.

In the depths of the mansion, there is a small courtyard. The green bamboo forest in the courtyard is luxuriant, and the grass is strange. There is only one blue brick hut in the courtyard.

That is Ying Zhao's study in the house.

Tonight, the house is also brightly lit.

After dinner, Ying Zhao came to the study.

Now Yingzhao is kneeling on the bed in the study, holding a long pen in his hand, staring at the desk in front of him, spreading out the blank stationery, pondering what to write.

Shadow walked in with tea and fruit.

"Are you writing a letter to your son?" put down the shadow of the tea and fruit in his hand, bent his four hooves, knelt down opposite Yingzhao, and glanced at the blank paper on which Yingzhao had not written a word.

Ying'er also thought that Ying Zhao was phrasing how to write a letter to his son who was fighting abroad.

Yingzhao, who couldn't figure out how to write a letter, put down the long pen in his hand, he sighed lightly, picked up a letter in his hand and handed it to Ying'er: "The letter to my son, I have already asked the messenger to take it away." I was thinking about how to reply to Lu Wu. ”。

"Your third brother. Shadow took the letter in her hand and looked left and right, but did not open it for a long time.

After all, this letter must have been written by Lu Wu to Yingzhao. It can be regarded as private, maybe it also involves national affairs, and the shadow doesn't dare to take it apart and take a closer look.

"Look, it's okay. Ying Zhao raised the teacup and said to Ying'er.

With his words, the shadow slowly opened the letter, and looked at it carefully by the bean lamp of the oil lamp.

But it's okay not to look at it, but when I saw it, the shadow was suddenly frightened, cold sweat broke out in the palms of his hands, and the fear in his eyes instantly filled his eyes.

The hands holding the letter trembled uncontrollably.

The letter was indeed written by Lu Wu himself, and the handwriting was exactly the same, but it was the content in it that made the shadow look creepy.

Shadow's hand trembled a few times, and the letter in his hand fell off and landed on the desk.

That Lu Wu was openly in the letter, asking Yingzhao to advise the lord Xiao Shizhu with him about the matter of establishing a reserve. And to complete this matter as soon as possible, I have no choice but to put pressure on the lord Xiao Shizhu.

Everyone knows that Xiao Shizhu now has only one son, and that is Xiao Fulei, who is a concubine.

Originally, there was nothing in Xiao Shizhu's opinion, but this Xiao Fulei was just a kid who had not been completely weaned, so soon, Lu Wu was going to urge Xiao Shizhu to establish a reserve, wasn't the purpose to choose Xiao Fulei?

Back then, Xiao Shizhu wanted to establish Xiao Poria, but he Lu Wu was eager to oppose it, because the Xiao family could not give it to the heirs of others in the future.

Although Xiao Shizhu still wanted to establish Poria Cocos, the ministers all used this as an excuse to argue with reason, but Xiao Shizhu's matter could only be delayed.

Now that Xiao Shizhu has only returned from Huangquan, Fu Lei's mother Tu Yaoqing's death is approaching.

This Qingqiu Fox Country's Sima Zhao's heart is well known to passers-by, and it is only a matter of time before he starts a war with the Nine Shadows Kingdom.

At this juncture, Lu Wu openly stood up and asked Xiao Shizhu to make Xiao Fulei the crown prince, and his purpose was already clear at a glance. It is nothing more than because of this that Xiao Fulei will not even have any foreign aid in the future, let alone a backer. If you want to stabilize the position of the prince, you can only rely on Lu Wu and other ministers who wanted to establish the prince at the beginning.

This is where even Shadow can see Lu Wu's selfishness at a glance, and this is where Shadow is frightened.

What Xiao Shizhu is most annoying about is that his subordinates interfere with his family affairs.

When Xiao Fuling was young and ignorant, she stole the chickens of a family in the city, was whipped by Xiao Shizhu herself, and took Xiao Fuling to ask for compensation to the ghost Mindao, it was not that no one thought that Xiao Shizhu disciplined the children too much. What's more, Lord Weng is the eldest daughter of him, the Hades King, who is very noble, and there is no need to whisper so lowly.

What happened to the few people who could speak for Xiao Fuling? Either they were demoted because of something the size of a sesame seed, or they were arranged to work far away from the center of the government.

Xiao Shizhu has always felt that he does not need others to interfere in his family affairs. What's more, Xiao Fuling is already stealing, and the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, not to mention that he wants Xiao Fuling to know that in addition to being unscrupulous on the battlefield, he can't touch any law when dealing with ghost people.

So none of the ministers who wanted to shoot Xiao Poria and the ghost mare's farts and took the opportunity to say good things were not rewarded. Instead, it was cleaned up by Xiao Shizhu.

The shadow also knows about this.

But today's Lu Wu is much more courageous than those ghost officials back then.

Lu Wu not only wanted to meddle in Xiao Shizhu's family affairs, but also vaguely and effectively loyal to the new monarch's plan, but Xiao Shizhu is still alive and well, he is simply eating dragon liver and phoenix gall, too bold and reckless.
