Outside the lobby, the mountain breeze brings coolness in the bright cloudy light, rolling through the mountains. The military flag of the Nine Shadows Kingdom erected in front of the lobby was waving in the wind. The sound of hunting kept drifting to the hall.

Chun Han is still too young, and he can't hold his breath after all. As soon as he heard that the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom had given the land of the two counties to the Nine Shadows Country along with the ghost people in the county, and the Nine Shadows Kingdom would have to pay more expenses because of this, Chunyun was in a hurry at this time.

This anxiety made a fine layer of hot sweat oozed from her forehead again.

But the king of Yama was very calm, and in his opinion, the people of these two counties seemed to be starving to death at all, so he gave Chunhan an understatement: "It's okay, feed the war with war." ”。

Chunhan was a little confused when he heard it. Her mother Chunyun, after all, is the Sima in charge of military politics and military endowment in the Nine Shadows Kingdom, and Chunhan has been taught by words and deeds since she was a child when she was a child about marching and fighting. Not only the arrangement, but also the cost, she has a detailed account in her heart. Chunhan knew very well that every time the Nine Shadows Kingdom went to war, the soldiers who went out had additional military salaries, and Xiao Shizhu gave them a nice and somewhat funny name, called War Bonus, which was paid monthly.

Now that the Eastern Crusade of the Nine Shadows Kingdom continues again, such a large army rushing to Dongying Continent will consume millions of silver in the treasury every year.

This is still not counting the food and grass for soldiers and horses, the fuel for the flying thunder trucks, the consumption of artillery shells, and the money for transporting supplies. If you count all of these, the Nine Shadows Kingdom will have to consume tens or even hundreds of millions of silver in Dongying Continent in a year.

In addition, there will be casualties in the war, and there will be compensation expenses for the dead and wounded. According to the military rank of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, even if the most ordinary soldiers died in battle, then these war death pensions that are divided into third-class sergeants and soldiers according to the top, middle and lower are the lowest is one hundred taels of silver.

These are all white flowers, not tin foil.

In this way, although there is no war in other places in the Nine Shadows Kingdom, the war in Dongying Continent alone will consume a lot of materials and money.

Now the old fox of the Qingqiu Fox King, as soon as he heard that the King of Yama wanted this land of seventy-two peaks, he simply gave up the land of the two counties and the ghost people to the Nine Shadows Kingdom. Invisibly, the burden of the Nine Shadows Kingdom is even heavier.

It was the spring plowing and summer planting season, and before the harvest, the grain in the county must have been pulled away before the Qingqiu Fox King agreed. The ghost people opened their mouths and waited for dinner, it was impossible not to starve them to death without giving them food, and this time the Nine Shadows Kingdom was a dumb loss. You can sweat hot on your forehead and trickle down the spring cold.

"Chunhan, you studied in the school palace in the national capital, right?" Looking at her anxious appearance, King Yama felt that this junior was still a little cute, so he showed a kind smile and asked slowly.

It's just that his face is naturally hideous, and no matter how he laughs, he can only cry and be ugly.

Chun Han was accustomed to his dignity, and he was not afraid at the moment, but he felt that King Yama asked the bull's head to be wrong with the horse's mouth, but he still nodded stunned.

"The lord has taught you a lesson, and he has taught you that wisdom will feed the enemy. If you eat the enemy for one minute, you will be twenty minutes, and if you eat one stone, you will be twenty stones?"

When Chun Han heard this, he thought about it for a while, and immediately remembered that when he was in the School Palace, Xiao Shizhu had really seen it for them. Nodding slowly, Chun Han recalled that Xiao Shizhu had specially explained to them what King Yama said just now. Tell them that if they want to go out to fight in the future, whenever and wherever they treat the enemy, they will regard themselves as "bandits" and "kings of the mountain".

But it is different from the real bandit Mountain King, this is a bandit and Mountain King who does not rob the people. It was just for the sergeants to find a way to rob food and drink from the enemy.

Chunhan still remembers this vividly, and still remembers that Xiao Shizhu made a very vivid analogy at that time. He said, "Find a way to make your enemy your captain of the transport brigade." Deliver everything you eat and drink to your eyes, and then grab it domineeringly. In this way, whatever the enemy eats and drinks spicy, you can also eat and drink spicy food. Moreover, if you rob the enemy's food, you can starve the enemy to death, and if you rob the enemy's cotton clothes, you can cold the enemy to death, and you can save a lot of money. ”。

This may sound like instigating others to commit crimes, but when it is placed on a life-and-death battlefield, it is saving lives.

Chunhan thought of this, and suddenly realized.

The light of the cloudy sun penetrated into the lobby, and beams of moonlight like golden arrows sprinkled on the lobby, and the lobby, which was still somewhat dim, brightened. The dust that floated up and down the air was clear in the cloudy light.

When King Yama saw that her eyes lit up and the anxious look on her face faded, he stood up and strode to the shelf where the map was hung, and glanced at the dots and lines connected on the map, the mountains and rivers and scattered towns, and beckoned to the spring cold behind him.

Chun Han strode to his side, King Yama raised his hand, pointed to the map, next to the Jingren Kingdom of the two southern counties given by the Qingqiu Fox King, and said to Chun Han: "Our primary goal is money and grain. Moreover, secret messages came from the Xuanjiao followers in the country, and the high-ranking and powerful families of the Jingren were busy grabbing money and grain, and it is said that some families had more than a dozen granaries full of grain, and there were piles of ghost rice and dark silver. With the money and grain of one country, it is more than enough to feed the people of two counties. ”。

What King Yama said was all based on the information he had sent from the fungus people before Chunyun came in.

"Moreover, the civil strife in their country has begun, and the domestic yamen and the imperial court are in vain. King Yama, who paused, said slowly to Chunhan: "At this time, the time is right to attack this ghost country. Not only can you feed the war with war, but you can also take advantage of the chaos to attack and reduce casualties. ”。

Just as he was talking about it, he saw a fungus man rushing in from outside the lobby.

The fungus man rushed to King Yama's side, jumped up on tiptoe without saying a word, and instantly lifted six or seven feet off the ground, and landed firmly on the shoulders of King Yama.

When the fungus man was about to whisper in the ear of King Yama, King Yama took the lead and said loudly: "There are no outsiders here, so I have something to say." ”。

"Yes. The fungus man responded, and after removing his mouth from the ear of King Yama, he looked at Chun Han on the side, and said, "The Xuanjiao disciples in the Jingren Kingdom have sent a secret report that the 100,000 Xudu troops of the Northern Yin Dynasty have begun to enter the Jingren Kingdom. It seems that he is preparing to set things right and take the opportunity to take over this ghost country. ”。

When King Yama and Chunhan heard this, they both frowned in unison.

The spring cold, which was no longer anxious, was once again anxious in the slightly responsible chest, slowly rising. But the king of Yama immediately furrowed his brows and laughed.

The hearty laughter echoed around the lobby. King Yama turned his head to look at the map beside him, his eyes fell on the Jingren Kingdom on the map again, and said leisurely: "The Xudu army is here, and more of our supplies and grain and grass are also here. ”......

On Shuoyue Island, the warm and cloudy light of the sun shines everywhere on the island. The sea breeze swept through the salty smell of the sea in the cloudy light and washed up the island.

To the south, the waves of Fufeng Harbor wander back and forth, constantly washing the white sand on the shore. On the warship of the Nine Shadows Kingdom docked in the harbor, several red-feathered seagulls circled around the towering mast for a while, and then landed on the mast, standing quietly at the head of the pole and looking left and right.

It's as if I'm curious about everything around me.

Ying Zhao took a few accompanying guards, as well as some ghost officials and generals on the island, to the harbor. Standing in the light of the cloudy sun overhead, facing the sea.

The eyes of the demons looking at the sea ahead were filled with expectation.

They seem to be waiting for something. And Ying Zhao was even more impatient, and he hadn't stood quietly for a long time, just on the beach in front of the ghosts, pacing back and forth.

The white and gentle sand left a lot of messy horseshoe prints.

The sea breeze ruffled the mane on Ying Zhao's neck, and the anxiety on his face became more and more visible. Time slowed down in his eyes.

"Look, General. Just as Ying Zhao was pacing faster and faster, and the last bit of waiting patience in his heart was about to be exhausted, a ghost official behind him suddenly raised his head and looked over the sea area.

Ying Zhao stopped pacing and looked up at the other man's finger. I saw that under the white clouds, three flying thunder cars appeared in the blue sky.

The hot wheels on the car turned sharply, the spokes swayed, and the afterimage of the debut road was blurred. The hot wind suddenly appeared on the hot wheels, and sparks splashed on the wheels from time to time.

These three flying thunder cars riding the sea breeze lined up in a triangular formation, and they were heading towards Shuoyue Island, where Ying Zhao was located.

The ghost soldiers who had been waiting for a long time in the harbor immediately took a few steps forward and stood in a place comparable to Yingzhao. The flagpole clenched in his hand was erected and shook vigorously.

The dark flag hanging on the top of the flagpole swayed in the air with the ghost soldiers, marking a black afterimage. As they waved their flags, the Flying Thunder continued to speed forward, coming in this direction.

In the blink of an eye, the three flying thunder cars came to the sky above Yingzhao's heads. After a circle, it landed in front of Ying Zhao with a strong wind.

Three Thunder Trucks stopped behind the beach and the doors were wide open. Xiao Shizhu walked down from it with a smile, followed by the national teacher Yingying, Qin Yuan and Taifeng, as well as Shi Cassia Ming and Nulu. as well as four Xuanjiao disciples and four Sutianju disciples.

The Flying Thunder Car of the Nine Shadows Kingdom can travel thousands of miles a day while moving at full speed. In the past three or five days, Xiao Shizhu and other ghosts came to Shuoyue Island from Shizhu City across the ocean.

Not to mention the speed, and the flight is smooth, and after a long journey, Xiao Shizhu and they are not tired.

"My lord. Ying Zhao was excited, his eyes were full of tears, and he strode forward and greeted Xiao Shizhu.

"Yingzhao, I miss you. Xiao Shizhu stretched out his arms and greeted him as well. After giving Ying Zhao a bear hug, he patted him on the back and greeted: "The ghost at home is okay, what about my little niece Ying Lingyue? Why didn't you bring her with you?"

"It's all good, but big brother, why do you have a little more vicissitudes?" Ying Zhao said and let go of Xiao Shizhu, looking the other party up and down for a while.

I haven't seen it for more than a year, Xiao Shizhu's face is indeed a little more vicissitudes and roughness, not as delicate and ruddy as in the past, but it also adds a bit of perseverance. And there are a few strands of gray hair on the sideburns, looking at the appearance, I don't worry less.

"I'm worried about a lot now. Seeing that Ying Zhao always looked at his sideburns, Xiao Shizhu smiled and said disapprerovantly: "There are a few strands of gray hair, which is really normal." ”。

The sea breeze was strong, blowing the cuffs of Xiao Shizhu's robe dancing again and again, and the hem also flew up.

Ying Zhao was excited, raised his hand to wipe away the tears that were about to well-up in his eyes, and then turned his head to the ghost official behind him and said, "Quickly let the fungus people send a message back to Yuque City to inform the mother of the country that the lord has landed on the island safely." ”。
