In the early morning in the Yuque Palace, there is still a mist that has not dispersed. The palaces and pavilions and the Qionghua jade tree are all looming in the diffuse mist.

In the Juexiang Garden, the ghost mother has risen, and after dressing up, she steps forward and walks out of the main building.

"Crane, take care of the tea. The ghost mother walked to the door and said a word to the palace maid who was holding Xiao Fucha. Xiao Fucha, who was still young, didn't know what her mother was going to do, and thought that her mother was going to the Tianquan Palace as always, so she waved goodbye stupidly and didn't cry.

After the palace maid holding Xiao Fucha nodded heavily, the ghost mother walked down the steps.

At the foot of the stone steps, most of the important ministers who stayed behind in Yuque City were already waiting on both sides of the road. Xia Xingchunyun and Lu Wu were naturally among them, as well as Lin Cong and other souls, who were also waiting on the side of the road.

"Please, everybody. The ghost mother stood in front of them, looked around at the ghosts, and said loudly: "During the period when I am no longer in the national capital, I hope that you will do your best to handle all the affairs of the country, perform your own responsibilities, and do not be negligent and slack." ”。

"No. Lu Wu and the other ghost officials responded in unison.

The ghost mother didn't say anything more, and walked slowly in front of everyone, walking towards the palace gate.

Qinglan and Chenruo followed closely.

Outside the palace gate of Juexiangyuan, a car with a length and width of one zhang and a five, with an octagonal spire, has stopped in front of the gate. In terms of gorgeousness, although it is not as good as Xiao Shizhu's shrine, it is also a nanmu board, and the windows on all sides are decorated with rosewood window frames and nanmu window cores, which are very luxurious. The front of the car has four triangular horses, three eyes, like a cow but not a cow, and a giant tail is rolled up on the back of the triangular beast.

Accompanying the carriage were all air cavalry from the most elite forbidden army of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, with more than 300 horsemen.

In addition to the more than 300 cavalrymen who accompanied him, there were only a few Su Tianju disciples.

Looking at it like this, the ghost mother is going to leave the palace.

She was indeed going out of the palace and was going to Duxi City to pick up Xiao Shizhu. At the same time, fortunately, on the way, I reported Tu Yaoqing's matter.

Xiao Shizhu is not very fond of Yueqi, but he is also a one-day husband and wife. If this really makes Xiao Shizhu go back to the palace, he will know that there is no buffer and no time to calm down, and the ghost mother is really afraid that Xiao Shizhu will be angry and cut Tu Yaoqing into a thousand knives and chop it into meat puree.

The ghost mother stepped on the small ladder, boarded the car, stood at the door of the car, looked at the ghost officials and ghost officials who sent her out, and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I will leave the affairs of this country to you in the past few days. ”。

As soon as she finished speaking, Tengu Daika rushed out of the crowd and jumped into the car, and after a circle around the ghost mother's feet, she got into the car.

The ancestor of the dog also wanted to go out with the ghost mother, and the ghost mother had no intention of driving it out of the car, and no one dared to stop it.

With that, the ghost mother turned around and got into the car. Chen Ruo and Qing Lan also followed. The car got up, rolled four at a time, and went forward.

The one who opened the way was a guard of honor of eight chicken-headed people, dressed in yellow gauze clothes, with vermilion flame colored sleeves and steel knives on their waists.

The escort forbidden army followed, and the remaining few Su Tianju disciples were at the back of the line, escorting a few salute cars and following the team.

"Congratulations**. Lu Wu and other ministers lined up on the side of the road in the palace, and bowed to the procession of people walking slowly on the road.

It wasn't until the convoy was far away that they straightened up and dispersed.

On the car, the ghost mother sat in the middle of the inner room, and on the throne in front of the screen, Dahua went to the window on the side. When the man stood up, he lay on the windowsill with his front paws and barked loudly at the window.

"Tatsuruo, open the window for the big flower. Seeing this, the ghost mother said to Chenruo, who walked in from the outside with hot tea and served her tea: "This tengu has been raised by the lord to be a human spirit, and as soon as he arrives in the car, he will lie on the window to watch the scenery, just like a child." ”。

Chen Ruo smiled, handed the teacup to the ghost mother, and walked over, opening the window for Dahua.

The morning breeze blew in, the dog hair on Da Hua swayed and trembled, looking at the scenery passing by the window, Da Hua was so happy to put the dog head out of the window, a pair of squinted eyes, opened his mouth and stretched out his tongue, and the sound of snorting came out of his mouth.

When the ghost mother saw it, she smiled.

Then he turned his head to look aside, and Qinglan and Chenruo, who were beside him, always looked out the window, and after their eyes were full of curiosity, they said: "Don't stick to me anymore, if you want to see the scenery, move a chair by yourself, and go to see it with Dahua." ”。

Chen Ruo and Qing Lan answered and moved their chairs.

It is difficult for them to go to the palace, and they have not even been to many places in this Jade Que Palace. Therefore, it is also joyful to be able to follow the ghost mother out of the palace once.

"It is said that the Six Heavens Divine Ghost Palace on Luo Yu Mountain is magnificent, and I don't think it is as good as our Yuque Palace. After looking at the pearls and jade of the palace outside the window for half a day, Chen Ruo pouted and said: "Our Yuque Palace is both magnificent and atmospheric. ”。

Even if she was a secret agent of the Northern Yin Dynasty, she had never been to the Six Heavens Divine Ghost Palace in the Xudu City. I just heard about the grandeur of the Six Heavens Divine Ghost Palace.

However, Chen Ruo still goes in and out of the Yuque Palace a lot, no matter how you look at it, this Yuque Palace is majestic.

"Chen Ruo, what you said is a bit of a frog at the bottom of the well. After all, the Yuque Palace is the Imperial Palace, and the Six Heavenly Gods and Ghost Palaces in the capital are the main palaces (real residences) of the ancient gods. The ghost mother took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "When it was built, there were no hundred ghosts in the world. The materials are expensive, the shape is chic and magnificent, you look from the world to the underworld, there are several palaces that can be compared with the Six Heavens God and Ghost Palace. In particular, the one hundred and eight views and the thirty-six halls are even more splendid and beautiful. ”。

After listening attentively, Chen Ruo simply turned his head, raised his hand and cheek to listen to the ghost mother continue.

"These 100 and 8 scenery are the most famous, some of them are built with local materials, natural and beautiful. Some of them are landscapes created by the ancient gods with magic and ghosts, and they are varied, and they can be regarded as changing the scenery step by step. After a pause, the ghost mother said again: "But what you said is not entirely wrong, this Jade Que Palace is also made by ancient gods, and the materials are even more chic." But if you want to say that the magnificent ones are all outside the palace, they are no longer in this palace. ”。

Wheels and wheels, Chen Ruo pondered when he heard this, thinking about what could be outside the palace.

"I know, ** is talking about the construction of my country over the years. At this time, Qing Lan, who had been looking at the scenery outside the window, finally retracted her gaze, turned her head to look at the ghost mother, and asked: "There are spiritual canals and underworld roads all over the country, as well as warehouses where grain and salt and iron are stored in various places, as well as the majestic passes and garrisons that are located in key passes and dangerous situations. ”。

"Hmm. The ghost mother nodded, put down the teacup, picked up the fruit plate, and handed it to him and Chenruo.

At this time, the convoy had already driven out of the palace gate, into the bustling city streets, all the way to the north.

The people and shops in the city turned a blind eye to this, and did what they had to do, and they were in no mood to pay attention to the convoy. There are no phoenix ornaments on the car, and the ghost people naturally don't know that the ghost mother is sitting in the car, and they mistakenly think that the minister is going north on a business trip.

The ghost people of the Nine Shadows Kingdom respect officials, but they are not afraid of officials. Therefore, the convoy walking in the lane is also somewhat blind.

This also happens to make the whereabouts of the ghost mother not be exposed soon, but it is safer than when the gong opens the way and moves forward with great fanfare.

After the ghost mother in the car gave her fruit bowl to Qinglan and Chen Ruo to enjoy, she said: "In two years, there will be no wasteland in my country. Even in the southern and southwestern regions, improvements have been made. Julong and his subordinates guided the Lingqu to various places, not to mention, but also led it into the mountains, through the mountains and wilderness all over the country, these four lands have been improved, the grain production has increased greatly, and there is no ghost country in the entire Netherworld Mansion that can compare with our country. ”。

As soon as he finished speaking, the sergeant escorted the car to the vicinity of the north gate. As soon as the black shadow was cast, it shrouded in. Qing Lan and Chen Ruo turned their heads to look out the window, only to see that this large black shadow came from a round tower in the shape of a pavilion on the side of the road.

The appearance of the tall tower is five layers, but in fact, there are nine layers inside, which are light and dark, all in one go. Each floor is surrounded by a dome and a domed pavilion on the top floor.

The building is decorated with splendid and colorful colors.

In the car, Chen Ruo and Qinglan went out to take a look, and they could barely see the huge beads on the top when they raised their heads, shining golden in the light of the cloudy sun.

At first glance, this tower is about 20 zhang long. That's it, not counting the three-zhang stone abutment below it. If you count all of them, there must be at least about thirty zhang.

"This can't be the Nine Heavens Tower, right?" Chen Ruo opened his mouth wide, sighed, and said, "What a spectacular high-rise building." ”。

She once helped the ghost mother to sort out the playbook, and saw that there was a playbook mentioned in it, and it was suggested to build a tower to place the Nine Mirrors that could be used for air defense.

At that time, the ghost mother approved the transcript, and also told Chen that if he wanted to immediately let the Heavenly Palace of the Chief Hundred Officials, the matter must be implemented as soon as possible.

Later, before Xiao Shizhu went to Huangquan, he gave this kind of tower where the Nine Heavens Mirror was placed, called the Nine Heavens Pagoda.

I have always heard that the Nine Heavens Pagoda has been built, but I don't know that the Nine Heavens Pagoda is so tall and majestic that it can be jaw-dropping.

As its name suggests, this real tower has the momentum of soaring straight into the sky.

While sighing, Che Yu walked forward under the escort of the forbidden army, and after a while, he drove out of the north gate.

As soon as I got out of the north gate, I saw the highway of the Nine Hidden Countries-the Underworld.

Under the red glow of the cloudy sun, this flat road, which stretches forward as far as the eye can see, is a hundred paces wide, and can run eight large carts one foot wide in parallel. On both sides of the road, trees are planted every three zhang. As for the spiritual canal, it can also be passed under the road. Towards the farmland in all directions, irrigation.

It also makes it possible that when the rainy season comes, there are more places for flood discharge in conjunction with the Jiangyan dam on the upper river, so that all places will not be flooded.

The foundation of the underworld is about half a zhang above the ground, and even on a rainy day, you can drive freely on the road. And the place where you pass is open to the mountains, digging tunnels, and building bridges when encountering rivers, and moving forward. Once a war breaks out in Xuanyan Continent, Yuque City can send supplies and troops to any place within five days.

As the ghost mother said, the real construction in the underworld is outside the palace.

At the beginning, the underworld of the Nine Shadows Kingdom was only five zhang, but now it can be widened to a hundred steps, extending in all directions, and can connect every town in the Nine Shadows Kingdom.

Even the official road of the Beiyin Dynasty cannot be compared. Not to mention other ghost countries.

can build such a huge project, and there is only the Nine Shadows Kingdom as far as the eye can see.

Although the construction has been carried out in recent years, the money and storage materials that the Nine Shadows Kingdom has saved with great difficulty have dropped rapidly. But it hasn't reached the point of deficit yet.

And the construction of large-scale construction is not to supply Xiao Shizhu for fun, it is a big project that kills multiple birds with one stone, which is beneficial to the world and the community.

Don't talk about it from afar, let's talk about the magnificent spiritual canals and underworld channels that crisscross Qinglan and Chen Ruo are stunned now. The Lingqu can fundamentally reverse the passive situation of the serious uneven distribution of water resources in the Nine Shadows Country, thereby increasing the crop yield of the Nine Shadows Country and increasing the speed of material and army transportation, which is absolutely beneficial to the economy and the military.
