【399】Activate King Taishan
In the Absolute Fragrance Garden, the birds raised by the ghost mother are among the flowers of the herbs, making a pleasant soft call.
Because Xiao Fuling was going to go to the school palace, the big flower who was left in the Juexiang Garden slowly walked to Xiao Shizhu's side and squatted down, gently swung the thick and fluffy long-haired tail behind his thighs from side to side, and then turned his head to look at Xiao Shizhu who was happy with his eyebrows.
"No!" Lai Yueqi and the ghost mother, who spoke in unison, shouted and scolded Qi Qi to get up, staring at Xiao Shizhu, whose face was full of disapproval, and the corners of his mouth were smiling.
"All the ghosts in the court are loyal to you, but I don't dare to guarantee that no ghosts will meet Qian Yankai. The ghost mother who took a step forward frowned and was a little more worried in her eyes: "If this matter is known by other ghosts, it is difficult to guarantee that it will be unfavorable to you." Don't forget, money can make the devil grind. Emperor Xudu's trick is called that there must be a brave man under the heavy reward, and you should know better than me the stakes and killing opportunities. ”。
Lai Yueqi on the other side also looked solemn, and nodded heavily in agreement.
"So what? Even if I don't hang this document above the court, it won't be long before this news spreads to the ten continents of the underworld. Xiao Shizhu smiled disapprerovingly, put his back back and lay on the rocking chair that sank down, waved his hand to signal the ghost mother to sit down, and said calmly: "Hide it like a thief, I might as well hang it out in a bright light and show it off." ”。
Xiao Shizhu was born to be such a maverick, so no ghost could guess what he was thinking, not even the old fox of the Emperor Xudu.
When the ghost mother heard this, a trace of anger and impatience flashed in her heart, and she was about to say something, but Xiao Shizhu had already spoken one step ahead of her, and said confidently: "Besides, even if a ghost really sees Qian and dares to assassinate me in the realm of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, I believe that as long as the people under my rule see him, they will not be able to spare him." ”。
"Where did you get this confidence?,Whether it's a human soul or a demon soul,,,
"I know. Xiao Shizhu's face was still full of disapproval, and he smiled lightly: "But I believe more that the people under my rule are still more good ghosts than bad ghosts." I helped them build a stable and peaceful life, so that they were no longer treated as slaves, and that is where my confidence comes from. ”。
"This is your naivety!" The ghost mother was stunned for a moment, then snorted angrily, sat down in her chair angrily, twisted her head to the side, and didn't want to look at Xiao Shizhu again.
The breeze blows slowly into the building along the door, blowing those herbs and flowers from side to side, and bursts of elegant fragrance.
Chen Ruo brought in a plate of cut watermelons, and saw that the ghost mother was angry, and Lai Yueqi was also worried, knowing that they were talking about something important. So without saying a word, he withdrew again.
It is not unreasonable for Xiao Shizhu to not know what the ghost mother said, but in addition to being confident that most of the ghosts in the Nine Shadows Kingdom will not be able to see the money, he did this to let the ghosts see his courage not to be afraid of the Emperor Xudu, and his willingness and determination to go all out to overthrow the Xudu regime.
"Do you remember Xiao Si?" After Chen Ruo retreated, Xiao Shizhu, who had been silent for a while, spoke again and said calmly: "Five or six years ago, she wanted to kill me more than any ghost in the country now; ”。
When she finished speaking, the ghost mother turned her head, and the gloom on her face suddenly decreased a little.
"But in the end, the ghost who wanted to kill me the most saved me. Xiao Shizhu continued to say slowly, but when he mentioned Xiao Si, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful in his eyes: "She has a reason for me to die more than other ghosts, and even if she has no enmity with me, she can not save me, no ghost forced her to do this, and no ghost would accuse her for her choosing not to save me, but she still saved me." She told me that because the underworld needs me, I should try to make all the ghosts in the underworld live with dignity. And although I haven't been able to make the ghosts of the Ten Continents dignified now, at least in the Nine Shadows Kingdom, all the ghosts have dignity. That's my self-confidence. ”。
The ghost mother heard what he said reasonable, and saw that his face was firm, so she began to waver after pondering for a while. But after a while, she looked at Xiao Shizhu and persuaded softly, "Don't you want to think about it anymore?"
"Nope. Xiao Shizhu shook his head slightly, stood up and clapped his hands twice.
Then Qinglan entered in response, stood still in front of him, bowed slowly, and asked, "What do you command, lord?"
Xiao Shizhu picked up the rolled-up notice of the hunt order and handed it to him: "Give this to the craftsmen, let them frame it and hang it in the Tianquan Palace, and the 'Ten Continents Tranquility' plaque will go down." ”。
"No. Qinglan took the notice and bowed her head and withdrew.
After watching Qing Lan's figure disappear at the gate, Xiao Shizhu whispered, "I want the ministers to see my determination and courage. ”......
On the Luoyu Mountain behind the capital city, the bright and cloudy light shines between the mountains and forests, and there is a burst of warmth.
Because there have been too many troubles recently, and the Emperor Xudu has not been in the upper court for a long time, today he finally convened the officials of the Beiyin Dynasty in Beijing to gather to discuss matters with the Beiyin Zhongtian Palace.
In addition to the few ghost officials such as the king of Hades and the four major judges, even Fei Tian, who is among the six heavenly gods and ghosts in the court, and the male ghost who looks like he is just a young man, but he is always dressed in a white robe, and Chengtian, who has a hand-shaken hand with a folding fan painted with a mountain fairy crane, and Qitian, who has red hair and two pairs of silver sharp horns on his forehead, also came to the top of the main hall.
They were divided into two classes of civil and military ministers, and stood on the red carpet that stretched behind the door of the main hall and stretched into the depths.
The Heavenly Hall in the Middle Heavenly Palace, which was still spacious and bright, was a little crowded because there were nearly a hundred ghosts crowded together.
Emperor Xudu is still wearing an aqua blue wide-sleeved cloth shirt, sitting in the middle of the depths of the main hall, on the square straw mat with various colors of grass blades and weaving various patterns of charm and spirit patterns on the table.
In the silence for a long time, the ministers in the palace secretly looked at me and I looked at you, looking at each other for a long time but still silent. And Emperor Xudu swept them coldly, and then slowly spoke, and asked coldly: "Do you know everything? Daoshan Island and Daoshan Hell have also been lost, along with the 700,000 garrisons on the island, as well as 11.5 million exiled ghost prisoners. ”。
As soon as these words came out, the ministers continued to be silent, but they all lowered their heads slightly.
Of course they knew about it, and it had been spread all over the Six Heavens Continent recently, and it had become a topic of conversation among the ghosts after dinner, and everyone couldn't figure out how Xiao Shizhu was so bold, and they secretly felt a little admiration for Xiao Shizhu's courage in their hearts.
But knowing is knowing, but none of them are willing to open their mouths first, after all, in the face of the angry Emperor Xudu, the ghost knows if the other party will be angry if he opens his mouth first?
And Emperor Xudu had long been accustomed to their ghostly appearance, and whenever he encountered something tricky, he would be silent, and when he flicked his sleeves, a yin wind would rise out of thin air and circulate around him. With a snort from him, he asked coldly, "Do you know who robbed me of Daoshan Island?"
This time, he didn't wait for the ministers to answer, but just after a pause, he scolded loudly: "It's Xiao Shizhu's disloyal and unfilial bastard." ”。
As he spoke, a trace of cold and murderous aura emanated from all over his body, causing the temperature in the hall to plummet, making all the ministers in the hall tremble.
But there were still no ghosts who stood up to talk, and they continued to stand still, clenching the jade wat in their hands, and staring at their toes with their heads slightly down.
Emperor Xudu, who raised his eyebrows, once again swept the ministers present with cold eyes, and after the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, he asked sharply: "Are they all dumb?"
The sound was like thunder, and the earth-shaking questioning sound made the entire hall tremble slightly. Outside the gate of the palace, several colorful peacocks and five-colored danque that had just flown down from the sky were also frightened and flapped their wings again and again, scrambling to fly towards the sky.
Emperor Xudu, whose face was full of anger, raised his eyebrows, his eyes were full of murder, and even the green tendons on his forehead had burst out.
Xiao Shizhu fed him one after another, first destroying the grain in his two granaries, then beating his two southern expeditions to the point of losing his armor, and also killing his Yuan Ying and capturing his wife, this breath is really hard to swallow.
Although he has never admitted to the outside world that the god of Ma Nujin is his wife, from the time Xiao Shizhu captured him, the other party and him had the ruthlessness of killing his wife.
But according to Zongtian's advice, if you can't bear it at this time, you have to endure it, so although Emperor Xudu has hatred and anger in his chest at this time, he still retains the last trace of calmness.
"Your Majesty, at this time, Xiao Shizhu's edge is exposed, and we should avoid its edge. After another moment, after the anger on the face of the Emperor Xudu subsided for a few minutes, the Wheel King stepped out of the ranks of the Yama kings, stood between the ministers of the civil and military classes, and bowed to the Emperor Xudu with a wat in the face of the Emperor, and analyzed: "At this stage, there are wars in various parts of the underworld, although many princes have participated in the counterinsurgency of the imperial court, but the imperial court should recuperate at this time, and fight hard, so that when the time comes, it will have the strength to fight Xiao Shizhu again." ”。
This remark coincides with Zong Tian's opinion.
Emperor Xudu, who had completely calmed down, listened carefully, nodded silently before speaking again: "Zong Tian also said this to me before leaving. ”。
When the Wheel King in front of him heard this, he smiled indifferently and a trace of pride quickly flashed in his eyes.
"That's it, let him Xiao Shizhu go and jump first. After a while, Emperor Xudu sighed lightly, waved his hand and said: "However, Zong Tian also gave me a plan, saying that Dongyi Continent and Fusang Continent are the granaries of the underworld; ”。
In front of the straw mat, on the left and right, the one placed on each side is evenly glazed and the color is shiny, and the incense burner with a wide mouth and a short neck and belly is full of green smoke.
Emperor Yudu paused, and said: "But now these two continents are not peaceful, and the counterinsurgency is even more unsmooth. Even the army led by the Cypriot and Cloudy Heavens was attacked by the Mo family in Dongyi Continent, as well as the repeated counterattacks of the remnants of the Escape God Kingdom, and the battle situation was very unfavorable to our dynasty. ”。
"But I still have some soldiers and sergeants in my hands, which can be sent to Dongyizhou and Fusang Zhou to quell the rebellion. After sweeping his gaze to the ministers, Emperor Xudu suddenly asked, "Which of you is willing to lead an army for me?"
This question was exchanged for the silence of the ministers.
Although it is beautiful to go out to counter the rebellion, the sword on the battlefield is eyeless and ruthless, and his life is in danger anytime and anywhere. And now Xiao Shizhu has defeated the Xudu army one after another, which has greatly boosted the morale of the rebellious vassal states in the underworld, and the more they fight, the more courageous they become. At this time, going out to quell the rebellion is a hard errand, and when you are full of ghosts who support your brains, you will recommend yourself at this time.
Just as they buried their heads lower, the Wheel King spoke again, "Your Majesty, King Taishan should be used in this matter." ”。
