At night, the waves of the Yellow Spring Sea are surging, rolling high waves and roaring for thousands of miles.

The warship on which Changqin rode swayed slightly in the waves, and the night wind blew the white sails on the mast. The feathered man standing on the top of the mast and the white feathers on his wings trembled slightly in the wind.

Tonight's Huangquan Sea, like the past night, is not very calm. The waves roared under the strong wind.

The sea was full of dangers, and the smell of blood was also surging along with the waves, diffusing on the sea. Fortunately, the ships of the Nine Shadows Kingdom are no longer what they used to be, and they are different from the past. This little wave could not cause any damage to the solid five-masted ship that Changqin was riding. Except for the deck, which was a little shaky, the cabin was still flat.

Occasionally, it's a little shaky, and the amplitude is very small.

And the cabin of the long qin is also smooth and steady, only occasionally when encountering several feet of strong waves, when it hits the big ship head-on, it will occasionally shake a few times.

And Changqin, who was sitting in the cabin at this time, also knew that if any of the two factions of them did their best and made more meritorious contributions before the unification of the Nine Hidden Kingdoms, after the unification of the ten continents, the more meritorious they would be, and the more weight they would have when they spoke in the court.

When the world is too peaceful, it will be even more important to control the right to speak in the court.

And the so-called good shade under the big tree, that's what it is.

It's just that this is also one of Xiao Shizhu's means to win them over.

In order to let the ministers scramble for national affairs and do their best, Xiao Shizhu can be said to have racked his brains and came up with one of the ways to control the party struggle. Whenever he encounters a problem, the party struggle can also brainstorm for him, and finally screen out the best plan. Of course, this is also Xiao Shizhu's ability, which can control the party struggle in a balance of mutual checks and balances, so as not to destroy the country and extinct the species.

It can also allow all the ghost officials to monitor each other, and put an end to a small number of traitors.

And Changqin, naturally, doesn't know this. Don't say it's him, the old ghost's national teacher Yingying, and Lu Wu, don't know that Xiao Shizhu is still playing with this hand. I only know that Xiao Shizhu has always adhered to impartiality, with clear rewards and punishments, and it seems that they don't know that they are secretly fighting for the same thing.

Governing the country is a game full of dangers, with more open guns and hidden arrows, but Xiao Shizhu is indeed a master of this game.

Not only that, but in this way, Xiao Shizhu has always maintained knowing people and making good use of them, so what officials do, he calculates clearly, and gives full play to the ability of ghost officials. But it is also in such an employment that Xiao Shizhu quietly balances the two factions.

Originally, he could also send him a ghost envoy to the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom.

However, recently, Lu Wu's faction has drifted a little. Several big meritorious deeds made Lu Wu's faction complacent, and they were so proud that they walked flutteringly.

In addition, Xiao Fuling found out that among Changqin's faction, the ghosts on the Xiaofeng Plain secretly committed treason in order to make profits, although this had nothing to do with Changqin, but it also made Lu Wu and their faction even more proud.

Vigorously governing the officialdom of the Howling Wind Plain, the act of hoeing and raping also allowed Lu Wu's faction to gain one and the other, and their power soared.

At this time, Xiao Shizhu didn't think much about it, so he sent Changqin to Qingqiu Fox Country in the name of being the most suitable envoy to Qingqiu Fox Country.

Indeed, Changqin is also suitable for diplomatic work, he has rich diplomatic experience, especially in diplomacy against Qingqiu Fox Kingdom, Changqin is also the best candidate. Lu Wu's faction couldn't say anything because of this.

However, it is precisely because of Xiao Shizhu's proper use of people that Changqin's mission to Qingqiu Fox Country has been completed excellently, which is not only beneficial to the Nine Shadows Kingdom, but also can kill the prestige of Lu Wu's faction.

It can also make Lu Wu and the others secretly compete with the Changqin faction, and at the same time, in order to make meritorious contributions, they will do their best to the affairs of the Nine Shadows Kingdom.

It all seemed so natural. When it comes to party disputes, Xiao Shizhu is also logically 'naturally unknown'.

And the long qin, who was still in the cabin, also laughed proudly because of this meritorious service.

His mission was very successful, and in terms of meritorious deeds, it had to be a first-class merit, which was the third-level merit among the merits of the Nine Shadows Kingdom.

If he added his Changqin to find out the anti-intentions of the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom, how could it be a first- or second-class merit of heavenly merit, or earth merit.

The Changqin faction, isn't it just a big face?

Changqin is naturally very proud.

"The lord is also, the self-proclaimed wise one, the immortal ghost talent, even we and Lu Wu are competing in secret, we can't see it. At this moment, the short and fat scribe beside Changqin smiled and said, "If he knew that there was a fight between our two factions this time, this mission might not have sent you here." ”。

"yes. Naturally, he also thought that Xiao Shizhu didn't know anything about Changqin, so he immediately nodded, and then told the scribe: "But this kind of slight ridicule, saying the words of the lord, must not be said in front of others in the future." ”。

As he spoke, Changqin had quickly put away his smile and pride, and there was a little more anger in his heart, anger towards the scribe.

For them, before the party struggle, they must first be loyal to Xiao Shizhu. It's not just because they can't replace Xiao Shizhu. Of course, the most important thing is that because of Xiao Shizhu, they have today's achievements.

This is true of both factions.

So the scribe's words made Changqin a little angry, and at the same time, Changqin was also a little worried that if this scribe talked too much in the future, someone would catch the handle.

The scribe also felt that he was too lax in his words, so he hurriedly said yes again and again, kept Changqin's advice in mind, and didn't dare to ridicule Xiao Shizhu anymore.

"Loyalty to the ghost people, loyalty to our country, loyalty to the lord is the first priority. Changqin put away the anger in his chest, smiled again, paused the teacup with the lid, leisurely scraped the tea powder in the cup, sat up, and continued to educate his cronies: "No matter how hard we fight with Lu Wu, the interests of the country and the ghost people must be put first." ”。

"No. The scribe hurriedly bowed his hand, bowed slightly, and took the words of the long qin to heart.

"Reply**, I Changqin keep in mind the commendation, and also remember the teachings and kindness of her and the lord. After a pause, Changqin said thoughtfully.

The scribe hurriedly took out the pen and book cart he carried with him from his sleeve, took out the pen sleeve and licked the tip of the pen, wrote on the book he was carrying, and recorded every word Changqin said in the book.

"In the future, we will strive to make meritorious contributions, do our best for the development and stability of the Nine Hidden Countries, and do our best. In everything, we should put national affairs first, and strive to make new achievements. After thinking about it for a while, Changqin said to the scribe: "Never let down the trust of the lord and the **, as well as the high expectations." ”。

After he had finished his sentence for a moment, the scribe stopped writing, looked up at the long lyre, and waited for him to continue.

But after Changqin thought about it, he didn't have anything to say, so he said: "Let's just say it, if you talk too much, it will seem empty." ”。

"No. After answering, the scribe put away his pen and said to Changqin: "Then the lower official will go and let the fungus people send them to Yuque City." ”。

"There you go. Changqin stood up and walked slowly towards the bed, but then told the scribe: "It is late tonight, and it will not be too late to send a message back to the Yuque Palace after tomorrow morning." ”。

Changqin was afraid of disturbing Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother's dreams, so he specially told the scribe.

This is the art of being an official, and Changqin is also proficient in this way, knowing that it is often the details that determine success or failure.

Especially for Xiao Shizhu, who is also moody, where he can be cautious, it is good to be cautious.

After the scribe wrote it down, he went out and helped Changqin close the door again.

Changqin in the cabin had already taken off her outer clothes and pants, lay down on the bed, listened to the faint sound of waves outside the cabin, gradually fell asleep, and fell asleep......

Outside Tiantong City, on the misty underworld under the wind and rain, Xiao Shizhu's carriage was still parked in the wind and rain.

Under the curtain of rain, there is mud and cross-flowing muddy water, spreading in all directions.

The canals on both sides of the underworld carry rainwater into the surrounding fields, crisscrossing and weaving through the fertile fields into the irrigation canals.

The torches around Xiao Shizhu's side and the soft light emitted from the centipede bead lamp illuminated the surroundings of the carriage.

The car is cylindrical, with a three-legged copper leakage on the body, and a small tube is open near the bottom of the pot.

The water in the pot gradually leaks from the small tube, and in the sound of ticking and ticking, the lid and the handle are opposite, and the ruler that is interspersed with the hour gradually decreases, so that the change of time can be seen.

Qinglan, the fungus people, and Liuyun in the car, listening to Xiao Shizhu's questioning outside, could smell the damp and yin in the rain and fog, and the smell of blood was getting stronger and stronger.

The stench was disgusting. Qinglan and the mushroom people are serving Xiao Shizhu at any time, and they have followed Xiao Shizhu on countless battlefields, and they are accustomed to the smell of blood, but they are not good.

But Liuyun was very unaccustomed to it, so he couldn't help but raise his hand and cover his mouth and nose.

I endured it with all my might, and I avoided vomiting.

It can be seen that on the battlefield, the smell of blood is ten times and a hundred times stronger than here, how cruel it is.

After a long time, Xiao Shizhu stopped killing, the wind and rain were even greater, and the blood stains on the ground were washed, and the smell of blood was a little lighter, not so strong, and Liuyun in the car also adapted a little. It is no longer a river and a sea in the chest.

Outside the car, Xiao Shizhu didn't wait too long, and got the answer he wanted from the killers - these killers are all Haoqiang.

Haoqiang, and Haoqiang.

These powerful and powerful people have done all kinds of evil before, powerful and strong, arbitrarily adjudicating the countryside, annexing land, enslaveing the poor, and so on.

In this way, the heroes are naturally a cancer that harms one party.

When Xiao Shizhu was still in the world, his master, Yuanying of Taishan Fujun, taught him that the word 'rich' in the world is the truth of one person and one field under the sky. However, the existence of Haoqiang has made it impossible for the ghosts of the Nine Shadows Kingdom to achieve one person and one field, let alone be rich. So when he was still on Shuoyue Island, Xiao Shizhu began to attack Haoqiang. The first Haoqiang to be hit was still a relative of Yu Rong. Afterwards, he has been adhering to the principle of cracking down on illegal and powerful forces, making land incorporated, reducing the power of the powerful at the same time, but also effectively inhibiting the development of the powerful forces.

One of the credits of the country's peace and security, and the ghost people's living and working in peace and contentment, is to crack down on the strong.

However, this has also aroused a lot of anger and hatred from the powerful. Since the founding of the Nine Shadows Country, there have been a lot of heroes and strongmen who have gradually settled down, and they have chosen to reform themselves, re-choosing to engage in legitimate industries, no longer oppressing the good, being honest people, and living a down-to-earth life.

But some heroes are not angry, but the days of being high have been deprived. Therefore, there are no longer a few heroes who want Xiao Shizhu's life, and there are as many as cows.

It's just that this time, the heroes who are going to do evil are mainly coming for Liuyun, Xiao Shizhu was surprised, but after a while, he also knew the reason.

Chenghuang Tanyun is afraid that some things will let Xiao Shizhu know.

For example, not long ago, Liuyun told him in the car about the livestock shed that didn't exist in the school.

The strictness of the Nine Shadows Country's governance of corruption and corruption made Tanuki Tianyun afraid, so that he had to take risks, and when he learned that Liuyun and Xiao Shizhu had just left, he immediately sent killers to ask them to do something outside the city.

When Xiao Shizhu thought of this, he was furious.

The ghost officials under his rule already have some people who don't take ghost lives seriously.

The matter of careless human life is also to come as it is said and do it, without the slightest hesitation. This has not yet achieved the final unification and victory of the underworld, there are ghost officials who are so bold and reckless, after returning to the Yuque Palace, Xiao Shizhu must continue to vigorously rectify this area.

Otherwise, there is no need for the Beiyin Dynasty to send troops, and if you continue to leave it alone like this, you will be able to lose the country.

"Okay, okay, a small ghost town city god dares to buy murder and kill people. This Tanuki Tianyun is really my 'good city god'. Xiao Shizhu was furious, raised his eyebrows, and said coldly.

The rich ghost qi in his mouth spewed out again, and where he passed, the raindrops instantly condensed into ice.

After speaking, he turned his head to look at the raccoon dog Tianyun on the side, and the cold gaze fell, and the raccoon Tianyun trembled, feeling a little scared in his heart, and his nerves tightened.

"Tanuki Tianying, this bastard Chenghuang is your kindred relative, right?" Xiao Shizhu, who paused, then asked coldly.

"Yes. Tanuki Tianying, who bowed his head slightly, quickly replied.

"Then leave this matter to you, and you will immediately go and judge this matter together with the county town god of Danshui County and the judge. Xiao Shizhu was angry, and he was naturally not angry when he spoke: "I hope that General Tanuki Tianying will enforce the law impartially, don't make any kind-like affection, and don't wronged good people." ”。

"Yes, the minister must do his best, and he will never dare to be selfish. This Tanuki should have been afraid and anxious, and he didn't dare not answer, so he hurriedly agreed.

At the same time, he gritted his teeth and hated himself as a fellow raccoon dog, and his heart was full of hatred.

In the past, he didn't look down on this ghost, and Tanuki Tianyun acted perversely, and for his selfish desires, he made a lot of small moves. But after all, Tanuki Tianying is busy governing the army, so how can he have any time to care about him.

But no matter how long it was, Tanuki Tianyun actually dared to poke out such a big basket, which made Tanuki Tianying sincerely frightened, and he was also angry.

Xiao Shizhu handed over this matter to him to deal with, and Tanuki Tianying couldn't help it, so he went to investigate and interrogate by himself, and then sentenced his own clan in one shot, which is much better than watching others push Tanuki Tianyun to the guillotine.

And Tanuki Tianying does not intend to release the murderer privately, if Tanuki Tianyun's actions are verified, he is willing to let Tanuki Tianyun die.

The whole scumbag people finally got out of the slaves, but they couldn't get a bad reputation for rebellion because of small losses.

"Nachen took the surviving killer and took it away. Tanuki Tianying didn't dare to slack off, but after a pause, he hurriedly asked Xiao Shizhu for instructions.

This is an important witness.

"You don't have to do it all, you just take away the people except the leader, I have to keep this leader, I want to take him away, take him to Yuque City and hand it over to Xia Xing. Xiao Shizhu immediately made a decision, shook his head and denied Tanuki Tianying's words, and said, "You can take the rest away." ”。
