[262] I took the job
"Once Wu Hui retreats, let Changya bring his 50,000 Mandrill cavalry, plus 30,000 Jiu You's army, chase Wu Hui fiercely, and force him back to Bifang County. Xiao Shizhu narrowed his eyes, revealing a hint of cunning, raised his right hand and slowly clenched his fist: "Chongming County, take it into your pocket." At that time, the land of Zhurong Country will be one-third in my hands. ”。
Chunyun was shocked when he heard this, although Changya did his best to serve the Nine Shadows Kingdom after surrendering, not only killing the enemy bravely on the battlefield, but also often rebelling against his fellow clans on the battlefield, although the effect was not great, but he also tried his best.
But such an enemy general who had just surrendered to Cheng was entrusted with a heavy task, which made her suddenly feel that Xiao Shizhu seemed to be a little too risky; at the moment, she no longer cared about the courtesy of the monarch and the minister, and said: "The minister thinks that the lord is too inconsiderate in this matter, after all, Changya is a general, and it has only been less than a month since he surrendered, so you allowed him to be in power, aren't you afraid that he will rebel?"
"Don't be afraid. Xiao Shizhu smiled indifferently and said casually: "You think so, then Wu Hui also thinks so, so he didn't expect me to use Changya as a commander, let alone expect that I would use the soldiers who followed Changya to chase him, so he would relax his vigilance." ”。
Chunyun suddenly realized, and after dragging a long "oh", he said: "And Changya has lived in Zhurong since he was a child, and he understands the terrain of the country, such a ghost leads the troops to pursue the victory, and it is not easy to be ambushed by Wu Hui." ”。
"Well, knowing oneself and knowing that the other is invincible, Wu Hui understands Changya, and Changya also understands Wu Hui, it is only appropriate for him to lead the chasing soldiers and chase Wu Hui. Xiao Shizhu nodded with satisfaction, squeezed his eyebrows and said: "What's more, Changya has only surrendered, and I will entrust him with a heavy responsibility, which makes him even more irreversible, and because he knows the truth, and his good brother, the legitimate successor of the Fire King, Ghost Changqin, is still in our country, so in the next step, you can give him a promotion on the grounds of commending Changqin." ”。
"Let him do what?" Chunyun nodded in agreement, and then asked.
"Didn't I behead Gongyuan not long ago because of rebellion?" Xiao Shizhu smiled evilly, squeezed his eyebrows and said: "Changqin is familiar with all kinds of etiquette in the underworld, so let him take Qian'er and return to Yuque City to serve as a secretary of the Ministry of Rites." Zheng Erpin officials, in charge of the ceremonies, sacrifices, banquets and learning palaces in the imperial court, enjoy the treatment of 72 stone of rice in a month and 15 taels of silver a year. ”。
Chunyun showed admiration on his face, and Xiao Shizhu took this opportunity to give the other party's high-ranking officials Houlu and spring-like warmth, not only invisibly and then won over Changqin, but also made the people of Changya and Zhu Rongguo see his kindness, which will make them more loyal. And after all, Changya regards Changqin as his only relative, as long as Changqin is well, he will not rebel.
"The minister will do it in a moment. After Chunyun finished speaking, under Xiao Shizhu's wave, he turned around and strode away.
As soon as she reached the door, she suddenly stopped and stood still, turned around and sneered: "I almost forgot, my lord, Lord Wuqiu Shou has returned, and as soon as he arrives on Shuoyue Island, according to your request, he will transfer the sergeants who escorted Yinliang with him to Heilong County to listen to Xia Xing's call." But when he passed by Shuoyue Island, Yingzhao Taishou asked him to bring back Jiang Ziwen, the degraded king of Qin Guang, and said that it was what you meant. Do you want to meet them?"
"Wu Qiu Shou is back. Xiao Shizhu was overjoyed, his eyes were inadvertently moved, and after a dripping turn, he said excitedly: "If you want to see, you must see, but this order has to put King Qin Guang in front." Tomorrow, I will see Jiang Ziwen first, and then I will see Wu Qiushou, you will arrange it. ”。
"No. Chunyun answered, then turned to leave.
"Someone. A moment after she left, Xiao Shizhu let out a loud shout. King Kong then entered in response to the call, and after standing still in front of him, he asked, "My lord, what do you command?"
"Take my wrench and go and invite me the helmsman of the Xuanjiao rudder in this area. Xiao Shizhu took off the wrench, handed it to King Kong, and whispered: "Remember to come in through the back door after nightfall, and don't alarm the ghosts other than the guards in the house." ”。
"No. King Kong saluted in response, took the wrench he had received, and put it in his arms.....
In the south of the city, there is an inconspicuous shop at the end of the ghost market, and on the lintel of the carved various cannibalistic ghosts, there is an old plaque engraved with the words "those who come do not refuse".
Just looking at this plaque, I really can't tell what this small shop in the ghost market does to open after dark.
But the ghosts of the three sects and the nine streams who have stayed in the capital for a long time all know that this store is the famous underworld boss of the Six Heavens Continent, the shop under the name of Ben Lei Dao. There are a lot of underworld killers in the store, and the main business is all underworld work.
Here, as long as you have the Stygian Coin and give it the right price, the killers in the store can help you with everything except the assassination of the Emperor Xudu. What kind of wife splits her legs, her husband is looking for a mistress, her friends are not sensible, your boss is bullying, etc., as long as you have money, they can help you get it all.
After midnight, a human soul in a black cloak quietly stood in front of the store, and then on both sides of the door, in the lanterns gently swaying in the yin wind, the strange green light flashed, and after glancing at the plaque on the door, the ghost pulled the black hat on his head a little lower, covering his eyebrows, only revealing his mouth and nose, and slowly walked into the store.
After standing in the dimly lit lobby with just a bean lamp, there was only one big ghost with a big oil belly like a wine barrel sitting behind the counter, and he raised his feet and put himself on the counter.
The ghost stood in front of the counter, took out a silver ingot and gently placed it on the counter with the abacus paper and pencil messy, and said slowly: "I have hired all your masters, I just ask you to help me do one thing." ”。
"Cut. The fat ghost glanced at the ingot of silver with disdain, and after seeing that it was only ten taels, he snorted coldly and showed a contemptuous smile, and did not ask what kind of work it was, and directly mocked: "Hire a master, just this little money?"
As he spoke, he raised his hand and scratched the two-inch-long scar on his exposed belly, then raised his left hand and reached out to rub his armpit armpit sockets.
"Money is not an issue. The ghost raised the corners of his mouth lightly, smiled disapprecitatively, and was not anxious or angry at the fat ghost's neglect and service attitude, but took out a stack of silver tickets from his sleeve again, and all of them were gently put on the table: "But there is another request, your shopkeeper Ben Lei Dao must accompany him just in case." ”。
The fat ghost's eyes suddenly lit up, staring at the stack of silver tickets with a hint of joy. There were at least thirty or fifty tickets on the table, each of which was worth one thousand taels, which was a full thirty or fifty thousand taels.
After waiting for a while, seeing that he was still silent, the ghost took out a stack of silver tickets with the same number as before from his sleeve again, and gently put them on the table without counting, and asked lightly: "Is it enough?"
"Enough is enough. The fat ghost didn't speak, but the curtain behind him was raised, and a young male ghost in an ink-colored brocade robe, holding a folding fan, walked out of it: "But this master, who are you targeting?"
When the fat ghost heard this, he hurriedly got up and gave way to this handsome boy with a respectful face.
"With so much silver, it seems that your goal is a ghost that you hate to the bone. And the boy didn't back down, swaggered into the chair, and looked at the ghost in front of him with only half of his face on his face.
The ghost also raised his eyes slightly, and looked this pure and elegant, without any trace of murderous aura in his eyes, up and down.
Judging from the fat ghost's respect for this ghost, in this store, this ghost's status should not be low, presumably in charge, and then the ghost coughed and said, "Dare to ask this son, but the manager in this store?"
"Sort of. The boy deliberately bought a pass, smiled indifferently, and said disapprerovantly: "Didn't you just ask me to accompany me, just in case?"
The ghost was suddenly startled, and hurriedly exclaimed: "You are the Ben Thunder Knife?" When the boy heard this, he didn't squeak, but just nodded with a smile, which was an answer.
The ghost was shocked again, he had already heard that the knife eye of Ben Lei was quick and quick, not only could he reach out like an oil pot to catch copper coins without his hands being stained with oil, but also made a hand as fast as a thunderbolt-like knife technique, brave and fast, imposing and powerful;
But I never imagined that such an underworld boss who kills ghosts like hemp, his hands are stained with blood, and his knife skills are superb, is so personable.
At that moment, the ghost didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly bowed slightly, and said, "Disrespectful and disrespectful." ”。
"Where, where. The boy smiled again and asked, "Who is the enemy of the guest officer?" If it is not a top master, for the sake of the silver ticket, this son will be able to satisfy you by going out in person. ”。
"He is not my enemy, but yours. The ghost sighed softly, and said with some regret: "Childe's senior brother, the Thunder Knife was killed by my target. Such a heroic man fell into the hands of a small man, so that he couldn't stand it, so he spent money to invite his son to go out of the mountain to avenge your brother?"
After finishing the words, he sighed under the ghostly words, and the regret was a little heavier.
"What, my senior brother?" Ben Lei Dao was suddenly dumbfounded, his originally calm and calm face changed greatly, and his eyebrows suddenly became angry and angry, and then he suddenly got up: "Isn't he doing 'business' in Chutian County?"
"It was in Chutian County that he was killed. The ghost shook his head, sighed again, and deceived the thunder knife and said: "The King of the Nine Shadows deliberately killed him in order to win the hearts of the people." ”。 There was no mention of the fact that Thunder Knife kidnapped Xiao Shizhu.
"It's tolerable, it's unbearable. Ben Lei Dao narrowed his eyes, and said coldly without thinking: "I took this job!"
