The surface of the Qinglong Sea, where the sky and the sea are in harmony, are shining brightly by the light of the cloudy sun.

The majestic waves rose high, one after the other, constantly lapping the bow of every ship in the fleet, splashing a lot of broken waves.

In the middle of the fleet, the big ship that sent off relatives did not fly the flag of Qingqiu Country. After sailing out of the harbor, the sailors also removed the red silk and silk flowers hanging from the ship.

Qingqiu Country is also a thorn in the eye of the Northern Yin Dynasty, and it is surrounded by strong enemies on all sides. Hang a conspicuous flag, and if you don't get it to be discovered by enemy warships, then it's troublesome.

If Tu Yao arrived in the Nine Shadows Kingdom safely and safely, then everyone would be happy. But if Tu Yaoqing fails to arrive at the Nine Shadows Country as scheduled, or is attacked and dies at sea, and can no longer reach the Nine Shadows Country, then the Qingqiu Kingdom will be in great trouble.

It will be charged with deceiving the Nine Shadows, which is tantamount to making a feud with the Nine Shadows.

So not only did the big ships dare not hang the flag, but even the dozen or so Cangshan ships also lowered the flag of Qingqiu Country and put it away after leaving the harbor of Qingqiu Country.

They used human souls as sailors, and foxes, ghosts, and ghosts were all cowered in the cabins, disguised as a merchant fleet heading south.

The cabin of the big ship was still lit up, and in the cabin in the middle, Tu Yaoqing, who was sitting alone in it, sobbed for a long time and finally stopped crying.

She sat in the room in a daze, her heart was still full of reluctance and sorrow, but her mind and body slowly rose and fell with the big boat swaying in the wind and waves.

Tu Yaoqing, who had never been out of Qingqiu Country, frowned slightly, and her eyes that were red from crying were deep at this time, as if they were deep mountains and pools, and she gradually became a little curious in her heart. What kind of place will it be in the Nine Shadows Country that she is going to? And what kind of ghost is Xiao Shizhu, the Nine Shadows King who is about to become her husband?

A few days ago, Tu Yaoqing listened to the fox ghost who went to the Nine Shadows Country for peace talks, and told her father Tu Gongqi that the Nine Shadows Country is vast and rich, and there are connected underworld roads and vertical and horizontal spiritual canals between each town, and the transportation is very convenient.

The Nine Shadows Army was not only well-trained, but also well-equipped and advanced, and there were countless guns that could take the enemy's head from a hundred zhang or several miles away.

As for Xiao Shizhu, the king of the Nine Shadows, I heard those two ghost envoys say that he is a very easy-going human soul, and he is not as fierce and vicious as the outside world rumors, and his face is hideous.

Tu Yaoqing believed in the vast land and resources of the Nine Shadows Country, and also believed that the Nine Shadows Country had a strong military and financial resources, all of which were obvious to all the ghosts in the underworld. But she never believed that Xiao Shizhu, the king of the Nine Shadows, would be a kind and easy-going human soul.

It is said that Ci does not lead soldiers, and even Tu Yaoqing, who was born as a woman, knows this truth. If Xiao Shizhu is really such an easy-going human soul, he can't control the strong soldiers and fierce generals under him who can fight well.

Thinking of this, Tu Yaoqing was even more curious about the ghost Xiao Shizhu, and couldn't wait to meet this Nine Shadows King. As everyone knows, Xiao Shizhu doesn't want to see her at all, in Xiao Shizhu's opinion, completing this marriage is the same as playing games in the world, just doing a task.

The similarity lies in the fact that there are rewards or achievements for completing tasks in human games, and completing this task in the Netherworld can get a springboard for entering Dongyingzhou......

The fluttering drizzle fell from the sky and fell on the surging Ganyuan Lake outside Ganyuan City, which was about 100 miles wide from east to west, and the surface of the lake doubled from north to south made a piece of long-lasting ripples, and there was a burst of rain and mist that was soft like floating clouds.

In the rain of late autumn, there is always a touch of sorrow and a touch of sadness. It's more about loneliness and loneliness.

Dozens of miles from the shore of the lake, there is an island in the middle of the lake surrounded by water. The edge of the island is mostly precipitous, but the terrain of the island is relatively flat, with wildflowers on the sandbar and vegetation among the rocks. On the island, there is an ancient city wall surrounded by simple vicissitudes outside the city, and the streets and alleys in the city are vertical and horizontal, and the houses are scattered. It's just that at this time, he no longer belongs to the luxury family, and his surname has been changed to Xiao. The flag of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, embroidered with delicate flowers on the other side, has stood on the top of the city.

To this day, most of the ghost people in the city have not recovered from the fact that the capital has fallen.

Ten days ago, the Nine Shadows Army adopted a combination of internal and external strategies, so that the Xuanjiao cultists who had been lurking in the city for a long time, and the corpse souls who were extremely angry with the extravagant hope of killing their brothers and brothers for power, ignited the military camp in the city to cooperate with the air raid of the Nine Shadows Army. At the same time, using the strategy of Xiancha and Flying Thunder Carts to parachute an army on the city wall, he conquered the impregnable Ganyuan City overnight.

In the absence of reinforcements, the desperate extravagance of hope when the army of the Nine Shadows Kingdom entered the palace of the Corpse Soul King in the north of the city, a long white silk hung down on the beam of the main hall in the palace, three feet above the ground, and hanged himself.

Before he died, he could not bear the humiliation of his wife and elderly mother, so he summoned them all to the main hall and slew them one by one with his sword. So much so that when the army of the Nine Shadows Kingdom entered the main hall, the hall was already scattered with shocking bloodstains and red powder turned into physique.

After hearing this, Xiao Shizhu admired the courage of extravagant hope and never admit defeat, and ordered the sergeant to carefully collect the powder that extravagant family's old and young physique had turned into and bury it by the lake outside the city.

Coupled with a series of actions such as not disturbing the people, not killing the surrenderers and releasing the ghost slaves, forcibly banning the ghost slave market, etc., this war did not cause too much hatred among the corpse souls. Except for the rebellion of the recalcitrant Corpse Soul Army in the first few days, there has been no other fighting in the city.

Ganyuan City also quickly settled down. The ghost people in the city also realized that if they quarreled with the Nine Shadows Kingdom again, it would be a moth to a fire. Since the Nine Shadows Kingdom has given them a stable and stable life, most of them no longer have any objections and complaints.

And the Corpse Soul King Palace, with its majestic halls and exquisite pavilions, has also been demolished by the Nine Ghost Army in recent days. The building materials will be sent to various parts of the Nine Shadows Kingdom to be used in the construction of fortifications.

And the gold, silver and jade in the palace, as well as the exquisite utensils and luxury goods collected by the Corpse Soul King, will secretly flow into all parts of the underworld and be sold to become the silver deposit of the Nine Shadows Kingdom.

Only the large hall in the middle, where the extravagant suicide was not demolished.

Just because Xiao Shizhu, who entered Ganyuan City, temporarily moved to live in the palace of the Corpse Soul King, and lived in the hall where he committed suicide, he did not dismantle it for the time being.

At this moment, Xiao Shizhu, who had finished a meeting with his ghost general Yin Guan in the main hall, left Xuanshui and Ying Lingxing, as well as Hu Hui who came from the Five Colors City.

It was rainy outside the hall, and the eaves were dripping non-stop. After watching the backs of the ghost generals leaving, they disappeared into the rain and mist, and turned to look at the Xuanshui Hu Hui and Ying Lingxing who were left behind in the main hall.

Because of the autumn rain, the hall is also a little cold, but it makes the ghosts and gods in the hall refreshed.

"The next work in Dongyizhou will be handed over to you and the big head in Manjiang City, as well as Lin Cong in Aoki County. The three of you are in charge of Manjiang County, and the eldest is in charge of the affairs in Manjiang County, and the rest of Aoki County is still handed over to Lin Cong to deal with. Xiao Shizhu slowly walked into the main hall, and after sitting on the throne in the depths of the main hall, he waved his hand and motioned for the other three ghosts to sit down on the chairs placed on the left and right below him.

"No. The three ghosts who had just sat down immediately got up and answered in unison.

Outside the hall, the autumn rain falling with the autumn wind was pouring down, constantly making the sound of "rustling". The autumn rain eventually converged on the ground and became a stream of water, which flowed in all directions in the square in front of the main hall.

The white marble bricks on the square were all soaked in a blink of an eye.

After Xiao Shizhu waved his hand again and motioned for them to sit down, he watched the gaze of the rain curtain outside the hall slowly retract, and then looked around at the three ghosts and then said: "Military affairs, Ying Lingxing and Xuanshui will take care of it, and as for other things, I will leave it to Hu Hui to take care of it." Those who can work harder, you work harder, and when Dongyizhou is completely stable, I will definitely reward you. ”。

"No. The three ghosts replied in unison.

"Is the lord going back?" then Hu Hui asked after thinking for a while, looking at Xiao Shizhu.

"Yes, I received a message from Yuque City this morning, saying that the fox concubine of Qingqiu Country in Dongyingzhou has set off on the road, and I have to rush back to Yuque City to get married. Speaking of this, Xiao Shizhu couldn't help but sigh lightly and frowned. In his eyes, a faint disgust immediately appeared.

Even Meiyu didn't have the joy of going home, but was a little more irritable.

Hu Hui and Xuanshui followed him for the longest time, and after looking at it carefully, they thought that Xiao Shizhu must be having a headache about the marriage that was about to be completed.

They all know that Xiao Shizhu is very fond of the ghost mother and Lai Yueqi, and he just appreciates other female ghosts, but he has never thought about what to think.

What's more, Xiao Shizhu does not like to be coerced, and his marriage to Tu Yaoqing is a marriage with strong political overtones, and there is no affection between the two ghosts.

To put it bluntly, this marriage is actually just a transaction, and with Xiao Shizhu's character, it is impossible to be ecstatic about this kind of walking corpse emotional marriage.

No matter how beautiful Tu Qiongyao is, what she sees in Xiao Shizhu's eyes is just a profitable transaction.

"Lord, you better be happy, at least let him see that your new marriage is not just a transaction, so that the historian will be able to write history in the future. After thinking about it for a long time, Hu Hui finally opened his mouth to persuade him: "And you are going home, you can see the mother of the country and Mrs. Lai who have been reunited for a long time, as well as your daughter Yuque Weng and the newborn little Weng master, you should be more or less happy." ”。

"I don't care what the historian will say, even if I write all negative comments. Xiao Shizhu said disapprehantly. After finishing speaking, Xiao Shizhu, whose eyes were rolling, suddenly showed a happy smile after thinking about it for a while, and finally became elated. Then his eyes moved, and after looking at Hu Hui, he said with a smile: "But what you said is right, I can see my daughter and wife when I go home immediately, but I can't go back with a stinky face." However, for the time being, this matter is limited to a few of us ghosts, so don't make a noise. ”。

"Then then, you can hang my banner high in the city and pretend that I am still in Dongyizhou. But the focus is on post-war construction. After a pause, Xiao Shizhu put away his smile, his lips slowly opened, and added: "After I go back, don't easily provoke a war against the surrounding ghost countries, the Nine Shadows Kingdom has experienced an expedition for more than a year, and needs a process of recuperation. The counties of the Nine Hidden Countries in Dongyi Continent have been tortured by the war before, and the people also need a stable and peaceful day, without my order, the defenders in the state must not provoke any war, but have to defend passively to ensure that the counties and cities of our country will not be affected by the war again. ”。
