The sound of waves and the sea breeze is heard in the night.

The strong and fierce sea breeze blowing on the sea of Qinglong blew the surface of the sea. The waves of the Dao Dao collided with the side of the ship of the Nine Shadows Naval Division, and it also blew so that the Nine Shadow Soldiers who were standing guard on the deck all felt a burst of pain in their cheeks.

In the dark night, this huge fleet sailing on the sea continued to ride the wind and waves north. On the surface of the sea that passed, there were waves that broke the road.

Although the Qinglong Sea was still under the rule of the Northern Yin Dynasty, some areas had gotten out of control, especially the sea areas near the northern part of Dongyizhou, which had gradually come under the control of the Nine Shadows Kingdom. Therefore, even if the fleet sailors of the Nine Shadows Country swaggered forward on the sea, they did not encounter obstacles and surprise attacks for the time being.

It's just that for the sake of safety, the demon ghost soldiers with night eyes are still arranged to stand guard, and the escort air cavalry circling and patrolling in the air is arranged.

On the shipmaster's flagship, in the command room in the cabin, there was no surging waves, no sea breeze blowing on the cheeks, only the voice of the tree swallow, echoing under the swaying soft light in the command room.

"Well, you're right. King Yama walked to his handsome case and sat down, and asked Shuyan and Chunhan to sit down left and right in front of him: "But all along, neither the ghost country in Dongying Continent that is close to their three mountains nor the ghost country in Dongyi Continent that is close to the three mountains in the sea is unwilling to occupy these three deserted islands. ”。

King Yama's appearance was already powerful, and his appearance was really a little scary, and his speech was rough and rough, his voice was like muffled thunder, and he was not smiling, so that although he was not angry now, his appearance still looked infiltrating.

Fortunately, Shuyan and Chunyun are not ordinary little female ghosts, they are not small, and they have long been familiar with King Yama, and they are not frightened by his appearance and voice.

After sitting down and thinking about it again, after the words and deeds of King Yama today, Shuyan asked thoughtfully: "Lord Yama, does the lord want us to occupy the three islands of Sanshan Island by the way on the way north?"

Most of the ghost officials who served in Yuque City, Du Xiao Shizhu was a whimsical human soul, no matter what he did, he could always do the opposite, or play cards out of common sense, as he always was.

The ghost officials and ghost generals under his command can't guess their lord. As for the opponent of Emperor Xudu, Xiao Shizhu, he couldn't guess Xiao Shizhu.

Shuyan thought about this, and after some thought, she came to that conclusion. It's just because it's just conjecture, and no one can fully see through Xiao Shizhu's thinking, so what she said is not so confident.

As soon as these words came out, King Yama immediately nodded his head.

This was a secret mission that Xiao Shizhu gave him before he left Yuque City. In order to ensure that there was a surprise, King Yama also waited until the fleet was about to arrive at Sanshan Island before mentioning it to his subordinates.

Other ghost kingdoms, including Emperor Xudu and the Northern Yin Dynasty, were reluctant to occupy the three mountains in the sea, except that there were too many slopes on the island and it was not easy to cultivate, but there were too many hard rocks on these three mountains, and almost all over the mountains. As a result, the mountains are full of craggy and strange rocks, and there are many cliffs on the rugged mountains.

Although such a place is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is too time-consuming and laborious to go to such a place to build a fortress.

Xiao Shizhu didn't think so, he did think that although it was time-consuming and laborious to build a fortress on Sanshan Island, the craftsmen of the Nine Shadows Kingdom could carve out the grottoes on the spot. Taking advantage of this natural location, just like the grottoes on Sanxing Island in the past, where Wu Zhiqi once entrenched, can make Sanshan Island an easy-to-defend fortress.

As for the laborious things, the reasonable use of the artillery and firearms of the Nine Shadows Kingdom to dig the rocks can save a lot of trouble.

The key is that as Shuyan and Chunhan said, Sanshan Island can not only become a barrier for the northeast seaport of Dongyizhou, but also a springboard for the Nine Shadows Kingdom to attack Dongyingzhou.

Xiao Shizhu doesn't like to put all his eggs in the same basket. Although there is a paper agreement with the Qingqiu Fox Country, that agreement is just a piece of paper involving interests. Once the interests are gone, the betrayal of the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom is also likely to follow.

Xiao Shizhu couldn't believe in the covenant, so he had to prepare for a rainy day in advance. Once the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom betrayed, his Nine Shadows Kingdom would have a backup springboard and could go north to enter Dongying Continent again.

Dongyingzhou, the Nine Shadows Country has been decided.

King Yama told the content of Xiao Shizhu's secret order to Shuyan and Chunhan word for word. When he said that, Shuyan and Chun Han both widened their eyes in unison, and the incredible look in their eyes told them how surprised they were.

In her surprise, Shuyan suddenly felt that her lord was indeed a human soul who dared to think and do. I can't help but think of Xiao Fuling again, that is also a little ghost who dares to think what others dare not think, and dares to do things that he dare not do.

The relationship is inherited from Xiao Shizhu's personality.

And everyone knows that the geography of Sanshan Island is good, but he doesn't want to go to those three mountains full of hard rocks to spend money and trouble. But Xiao Shizhu was willing to spend money on Sanshan Island.

It seems to be very troublesome, but once Sanshan Island is in the hands of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, it is tantamount to posing an invisible threat to the southeast of Dongying Continent. Not only can it give the Nine Shadows Kingdom a springboard to attack Dongying Continent quickly, but it can also make the ghost countries in the southeast of Dongying Continent fearful.

It can also better attract the attention of those ghost countries in Dongying Continent. Let several ghost countries in the southeast area of Dongyingzhou feel a thorn in their backs at any time, and they dare not act rashly. For the expedition into the continent of the Nine Shadows Country, being surrounded by the Qingqiu Fox Country can also alleviate some of the pressure.

Shuyan's admiration for Xiao Shizhu has increased instead of decreasing; carefully calculating the age of the ghost, Xiao Shizhu is about seven or eight years older than her, but he is good at strategy, and it seems to be whimsical when considering problems, but in fact he is very thoughtful.

And the spring cold that followed Xiao Shizhu's travel, after the surprise was overflowing, the association was even more far-reaching. She thought of the reason why Xiao Shizhu asked them to prepare for the army in advance, and soon after the treaty with the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom was signed, they quietly sent troops to buy enough time to seize Sanshan Island.

Because of the preparation in advance, the expeditionary army can set off in advance, so even if the Nine Shadows Kingdom goes to capture Sanshan Island halfway and spends some time, it can still rush to the Qingqiu Fox Country in time to support.

"The lord's plan is very simple, after our army sailed to Sanshan Island, we will stay in the local sea for ten days in the name of waiting for supplies. Holding his face like a steel needle, the Yama King said to Shuyan and Chunhan, "During these ten days, the craftsmen who came with the fleet will disembark and land on Sanshan Island and start building a fortress. Lord Hu Hui will also send troops from Dongyi Continent to help the craftsmen complete the fortress. ”。

"Ten days later, we continued on our way to the east coast of the Qingqiu Fox Country. After a pause, King Yama took out two arrows from the sign in his hand, and said: "When you arrive at Sanshan Island, you will each lead an army and collect an island to ensure that the craftsmen and sergeants on the island can build a fortress on the island with peace of mind." ”。

"No. Chun Han and Shu Yan got up together, their faces were solemn, and after responding with a sonorous voice, they strode forward and stood in front of the handsome case, and took the two arrows made of copper arrows......

The morning bell only rang in the Yuque Palace, and the morning dew on the strange flowers and plants in the palace had not yet dispersed, and the ghost mother and Xiao Shizhu sat on the vermilion lacquer chariot carried by the four ghosts, walking between the pavilions and pavilions, and headed towards Su Tianju.

It's rare to get an early morning today, but Xiao Shizhu still hasn't been able to sleep lazy. After getting up early in the morning for dinner, I followed the ghost mother out of the Absolute Fragrance Garden.

He yawned all the way.

In Xiao Shizhu's intermittent yawn, the Hercules who carried the chariot walked for a while, and then stopped at the gate of Su Tianju. Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother, who cheered up, strode down from the chariot. With only a few guards, Qinglan and Chenruo, he crossed the gate of Sutianju that was carved and decorated with cumbersome patterns and patterns, and walked to Sutianju.

The spirit deer raised in the center of Su Tian raised their heads and looked at Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother. After taking a look, they bowed their heads to Xiao Shizhu and his wife, raised his right front hoof, and bent his right front foot.

It seems to be saluting Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother.

And the disciples of Su Tianju were already dressed neatly, neatly arranged on the left and right sides of the road, waiting quietly.

After seeing Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother enter Su Tianju together, they all bowed their heads slightly and gave them a respectful salute.

Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother went straight forward, stepping on the road paved with green jade in the center of Su Tian, towards the main building. When they walked to the main building, they saw the national teacher Ying Ying and Lai Yueqi, who were already waiting in the building.

"Early in the morning, what are you doing in a hurry to invite us over?" Xiao Shizhu asked, curiously looking at the strange mirror between Ying Ying and Lai Yueqi.

I saw that in front of the two ghosts, there was a bronze mirror with a round base and a diameter of about one zhang. There is no difference from the shape of the round mirror, but the mirror surface is very strange.

In the middle is a thin square crystal, inlaid in the center, and you can see that the mirror-thin, crystal clear crystal reflects the morning sky under the morning sun.

And on the eight sides of this crystal, eight trapezoidal crystals are set on the eight directions.

Xiao Shizhu took a look, looked the strange-shaped mirror up and down for a while, and didn't know what it was used for.

"With the help of the National Teacher, we have made the Nine Heavens Mirror that the ancient gods used to monitor the sky. When Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother stood in front of the mirror and looked at the mirror curiously, Lai Yueqi had already shouted excitedly to them: "In the future, you can use it to monitor the air and see if there are any enemy troops." ”。

As she spoke, Xiao Shizhu got closer and saw more clearly, the mirror that was called by Lai Yueqi as the Nine Heavens Mirror, the nine crystals inlaid were all engraved with talismans that he had never seen.

However, if you look closely, it is somewhat similar to the talisman seal in the clairvoyant mirror. After the national teacher Yingying made a trick without saying a word, these talismans flashed with a faint soft light, illuminating the nine crystals, and also emitting seven-colored light.

Immediately afterwards, the eight-square crystal mirror in the center showed the sky above the mouth of the sinkhole, and even the edge of the sinkhole was reflected in it.

Before Xiao Shizhu had time to shout magically, he saw that on the eight ladder-shaped crystals around him, a little red dot flashed, and in the crystal mirror, it flickered slowly, like a blinking star.

"This is indeed the Nine Mirrors. Even the ghost mother was a little excited, pulled Xiao Shizhu's sleeve, and said to her husband with a little pride: "This mirror can show the ghost qi of 100,000 zhang in the air and 330,000 li in the air. Look at those red dots, aren't they the flying troops and air cavalry trained on Yuque City?"

After speaking, the elated ghost mother raised her hand and pointed to the flickering red dots on the crystal mirror to Xiao Shizhu.
