The cloudy day had just set in the east, and the sky was already dark, and in the vicinity of Xuanyuan City, the spring rain of the day gradually stopped. A group of Xudu soldiers carried a headless corpse and walked on the muddy road after the rain into Xuanyuan City from the south.

The road that was difficult to travel after the rain did not make these drunken soldiers gloomy, but the faces of the ghosts were full of joy. It's just that the corpse they are carrying is Taifeng's, at least they think so.

Although when they found this corpse in the mountains and forests south of Xuanyuan City, more than ten miles away, it was lying on the muddy body after the rain, and it was already full of holes and difficult to distinguish. But judging from the fact that the other party is the corpse of a ghost and a demon, as well as the characteristics of a broken arm and a broken tail, the Xudu soldiers believe that he is Taifeng.

As for why Tai Feng is so full of holes and unrecognizable, I am afraid that it is because it is the remnants of the bear country who robbed him. Then, in order to avenge the battle of Frost Valley, Taifeng betrayed their revenge, thus killing Taifeng outside the city to vent his anger.

When this corpse was carried into the city and placed in front of the second general Ganliu, the second general Ganliu also had a slight doubt, was the corpse in front of him Taifeng at the bottom?

The face full of holes is suspected of deliberately not letting the ghost recognize his true face. But judging from the fact that the broken arm and tail are broken and the corpse is a ghost, it is indeed a Tai coincidence.

"What's wrong with his face?" for a while, General Gan, who couldn't tell the truth from the fake, asked angrily to the ghost soldiers.

Under the light, a ghost soldier stepped forward and replied to General Gan: "Back to the general's words, he has become like this by the time we arrive, his wound is still bleeding, and there are strips of cloth with these words written on the trees around him. ”。

With that, the ghost soldier took out a piece of white cloth from under his armor and handed it to General Gan.

General Gan unfolded it and looked at it, only to see a few big words written on it: "The fate of the traitor." ”。

And the ghost soldier then whispered: "I'm afraid that the only one who saved Tai Feng was the remnants of the sins, and the purpose of saving him was to vent his anger." ”。 He is a close associate of the second general Ganliu, so he naturally knows that Taifeng was just wronged by the second general Ganliu.

After seeing these five vigorous and powerful characters, the doubts in the hearts of the second general Ganliu were completely dispelled.

"Very well, hang the body of this traitor on the top of the city, and hang it on display. The second general Ganliu, who had no doubts, also decided that the corpse was Taifeng, and immediately said in unison: "Show those ghost people in the city, this is the end of daring to betray the Northern Yin Dynasty." ”。

After finishing speaking, General Gan threw the white cloth with "The Fate of the Traitor" written on it in his hand to the ghost soldiers: "Hang this white cloth on Taifeng's corpse." ”。

"But it can't be said that Taifeng was robbed, just that you chased him who escaped, and he resisted stubbornly and had to kill him. And General Gan and I will also ask for credit for you. General Liu then took over and said, "Send another messenger to order all searches to stop and lift martial law." ”。

"No. Those ghost soldiers were overjoyed, and after hurriedly answering in unison, they happily carried the corpse of 'Taifeng' and retreated.

"I can finally sit back and relax. When he arrived in the big tent, only the second general Gan Liu was left, General Gan finally breathed a sigh of relief, and let out a long sigh, and the whole ghost relaxed.

Taifeng is finally dead, and there is no proof of death. In the future, in this Fenglin Continent, it is he and General Liu who have the final say. As long as the tasks assigned by Emperor Xudu are completed, they will be more reused and trusted.

General Gan and General Liu looked at each other and smiled......

In the Yuque Palace of Yuque City, a chessboard has been set up in the Longwei Pavilion of Juexiangyuan.

The school palace is on holiday today, and Xiao Fuling, who can rarely rest for a day, pestered Xiao Shizhu and asked her father to play against her. It is said that she and her master Nulu learned a few tricky chess tricks, and she wanted to try the effect.

Most of Xiao Shizhu's government affairs have been dealt with today, so he can relax and simply play with his daughter.

Although the country of Jiuyou is large and the land is vast, the country is stable and the system is perfect, and there are many capable ministers in the court, Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother do not have to be busy day and night, let alone be tense and boring every day.

Moreover, Xiao Shizhu's desire to control power is not as great as that of Emperor Xudu, and he and the ghost mother only hold a few important powers in the Nine Shadows Kingdom, such as military power. The rest of the administrative affairs were scattered among the various departments and departments of the country. Without absolute rights, there is no absolute fighting, and all departments and yin divisions can supervise and contain each other, making it difficult for his ghosts and generals to turn the sky at the same time, all departments can cooperate with each other to improve work efficiency.

In addition, the examination law is vigorously implemented in the country, and the tasks of various departments must be completed as scheduled within the set time limit, and there are almost no redundant personnel in all departments, and any government affairs can be implemented. Coupled with the speed of the fungus people's transmission, although the imperial court orders were thousands of miles away, they were carried out from bottom to bottom, and the administrative efficiency was greatly improved.

This is the strength of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, and there is also time for Xiao Shizhu to have fun with his children.

In the Longwei Pavilion, green smoke rose from the incense burner. As time passed, Xiao Shizhu was still calm, drinking tea and playing chess, while grabbing the notebook at hand, and leisurely looking at the content on it.

This dual-purpose ability is also a must for him. And there has never been any sloppiness because of this. Xiao Ling, who was on the other side, was a little anxious.

She and the female Lu learned a few tricks, and at the beginning they were really like a bamboo, and they were victorious, and the cars, horses, and artillery all crossed the river boundary and took the lead. For a while, Xiao Shizhu could only defend passively, and he frequently let go of his pawns to protect the commander.

But at the same time, Xiao Shizhu also did not leak a drop of water, and invisibly dragged the rapid blitzkrieg into a protracted war. There was a slight gap, and he killed the other side with the rook cannon chess pieces, and after eating his daughter's chess pieces, he formed a corner with each other and restrained the other chess pieces.

After a few rounds, Xiao Shizhu slowly turned the tide on the chessboard. And Xiao Fuling was even more impatient, and fine sweat oozed out under the neat bangs in front of her forehead.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Ling, in addition to the double phase of the two sides, only had one car, one horse and one cannon left. When it was her turn to play chess, Xiao Fuling had to be transferred to the riding river (one of the chess pieces was called riding the river on the other side's river boundary), but she couldn't eat Xiao Shizhu's cannon in the riding river to hit Xiao Shizhu's car that drove into the river, but she ignored that there was a horse of Xiao Shizhu in the lower left corner of the car.

"Poria, don't move your cannon. The ghost mother, who was watching the battle, saw her daughter holding a chess piece in her hand, and shouted in a hurry.

"I don't say anything about watching chess. Xiao Shizhu smiled, raised the teacup in his hand, and took a sip of tea gently. And the ghost mother immediately turned gloomy and glared at her husband, as if Xiao Shizhu was already a father, but he didn't know how to let his daughter feel unhappy.

After being reminded by her mother, Xiao Lingling saw Xiao Shizhu on the chessboard and set her a set. Immediately reset the cannon before falling, and then looked around the chessboard, and saw the horse between the two sons of the general, just enough to take a Japanese word, and eat Xiao Shizhu's other cannon in the river patrol (one side's car and cannon became the river patrol on their own river boundary).

At that moment, Xiao Fuling walked without hesitation and ate her father's cannon proudly.

Seeing this, the ghost mother shook her head slightly with a sigh, and Xiao Shizhu smiled again.

Between the two generals on both sides, there was no obstacle at a glance, he picked up his general and said softly: "General." ”。 The voice landed, and the general moved forward, straight to Xiao Lingling's red handsome man.

"Ah!" Seeing this, Xiao Fuling knew that she was careless, so she stood up with a loud cry and shouted urgently: "Father, you are too cunning. ”。

"Hahaha. Xiao Shizhu, who won, smiled heartily: "It's okay for you to play with your classmates in the palace with these tricks, if you want to win, I'll study for a few more years." ”。

"Poria, don't play with your father, his chess path is bad, and he kills every step. The ghost mother glanced at Xiao Shizhu again, hugged her daughter and said, "I'm still a father who won't let my daughter." ”。

Xiao Shizhu's laughter echoed in the pavilion, the mother and daughter were angry, and Xiao Lingling was even more unwilling, shouting loudly: "One more game." Cheer up and prepare to compete with Xiao Shizhu again.

When she was in high spirits, Qinglan strode in and saluted Xiao Shizhu: "Lord, Lord Lu Wu and Lord Chunyun ask to see you." ”。

"Poria cocos, let's stop here today, I'm playing another day. After hearing this, the ghost mother had already put away her gloom and said to Xiao Fuling.

When Lu Wu came, there must be government affairs and state affairs, and Xiao Fuling also knew it, so she hurriedly settled down at the moment, put away her excitement and the idea of another game, nodded in response, and followed Chen Ruo to leave slowly.

"Let them in. Xiao Shizhu said this, put down the notebook he had just picked up, and sat up. Qing Lan retreated in response, and then someone from the palace entered and put away the chessboard.

After a while, Qinglan, who had left, took Lu Wu and turned back, introduced Lu Wu and Chunyun into the pavilion, and then retreated, standing outside the pavilion.

"Great King, Hu Lan and the other ghost envoys of the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom have left Yuque City this morning, and it is time for us to send troops next. Before he stood still, Lu Wu saluted Xiao Shizhu and said.

"But the matter of choosing a general is still decided by the Lord and the Mother of the Nation. Immediately after Chunyun took over the words, and at the same time handed Xiao Shizhu the notebook that had been drafted the route of the army, as well as the source of troops and equipment, and the subsequent transportation of weapons.

Xiao Shizhu took it and unfolded it, and watched it with the ghost mother. After taking a closer look, he felt that there was no problem, so Xiao Shizhu raised his eyes and looked at Chunyun: "If you are a ghost general, do you have any candidates for the appointment and removal of the summer palace of the main military and political affairs and military endowment?"

"There are a lot of young generals, and the school palace has trained a lot of generals over the years, but some of these generals are too young and lack the calmness of the veterans. Having said this, Chunyun frowned slightly in embarrassment.

Although these youngsters are all excellent, what Chunyun said is also true. This group of stunned young people really lacks the calmness of veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time.

However, the veterans of the Nine Shadows Country are scattered in various places to defend the territory, and it is difficult to mobilize them for a while.

"Youngsters also need to work to grow into veterans. After thinking for a while, the ghost mother said thoughtfully: "I remember that the school palace reported that there was a female general named Shuyan, who had excellent grades in the school palace and was a good candidate. In addition, Chunyun, your daughter Chunhan, is also a good candidate. Especially in the spring cold, it was with us that we went out on patrol and had a lot of combat experience. ”。

The ghost mother's words were nodded in agreement by Xiao Shizhu. These two ghosts are not bad, and they are indeed the best candidates for the generals who will enter Dongyingzhou.

It's just that as Chunyun said, whether it is Chunhan or Shuyan, who has just graduated from the Academy, they are both young generals who lack stability.

You'll have to find another veteran to follow.

Xiao Shizhu groaned, thinking about the candidate. After a while, he slowly spoke: "I want to use a ghost as the commander of this expedition to Dongyingzhou. ”。
