[612] Trouble
Although the wind and snow have stopped, the cold is still thick inside and outside the city. After the black snow froze, it was like pieces of black crystals, shining with oily luster, and the cold air diffused from these black ices.
In addition, there is still a north wind blowing in the sky, and it can be said that the sky in Xuanyuan City is cold.
It's just that Tai Feng, who was dressed in single clothes, trembled all over, not because he was cold, but because he was angry.
When the officer crossed the threshold in the bitter north wind and stood again in the cloudy light outside the house, Tai Feng's angry voice resounded in the room. The eighteenth generation of the officer's ancestors were all greeted.
Under the whistling north wind, the blue-faced, fanged officer turned a deaf ear to the nasty curses, and strode forward without his head in mind.
After moving away from the hut, the officer turned around and headed south. After a while, I passed the majestic palace gate, walked through the moat outside the gate on the arch bridge of white marble, and came to Xuanyuan City.
The officer walked aimlessly around the city, entered a tavern in the middle of the city, and after getting some loose wine in the gourd of wine at his waist, returned to his lodgings in the city.
In today's Xuanyuan City, most of the houses have been requisitioned by the Xudu army and allocated to the sergeants as military camps. As for the owners of these haunted mansions, they were either driven out into the streets or were given a 'fun' by the Xudu army to add 'fun' to the boring expedition, and they did not hesitate to click.
The bungalow where this officer himself lived was snatched by his soldiers under the banner of letting the ghost people contribute to the Northern Yin Dynasty.
The officer, who had closed the door as soon as he entered the room, walked towards the square table in the middle of the room, where a fungus man sat on the table.
"I didn't notice that he was here, did you?" The officer who sat at the table took off the iron helmet on his head, took out a bag of fruit from behind his waist and handed it to the fungus man, and said with a little complaint: "It is difficult to find fruit in the winter of Fenglin Continent, and this is still transported from other continents. ”。
After shaking his head and telling the officer that he had not been discovered, the fungus man opened the bag and took out a fruit that was a little shriveled and the skin was slightly purple from the frozen, and said, "But we fungus people like to eat these." ”。
"By the way, the lord has already rewarded you for the information you provided about Ji Meng last time, but because of the nature of your work, I can't make your reward public in the Nine Shadows Kingdom for the time being. It's just that Lord Wu Qiuyuan secretly sent some dark coins to your family. The fungus man took a bite of the fruit and said with a slight slurredness.
The officer of the Northern Yin Dynasty Xudu Army opposite the fungus man was shocked when he landed, and then turned into joy. He turned out to be a subordinate of Beishou who was far away in Dongyi Continent, and he was loyal to Beishu who saved his life on the battlefield. When the Beiyin Dynasty opened the bow left and right, he came to Fenglin Continent with the army to fight, and after Cheng surrendered to the Nine Shadow Kingdom, he gave the list of several of his loyal subordinates to the Nine Shadow Kingdom.
Subsequently, the disciples of the Xuanjiao, a powerful intelligence agency in the Nine Shadows Kingdom, acted according to the list and began to secretly woo these ghosts.
This officer is the outer line of the development of the Xuanjiao cultists, and he is also the leaker of Ji Meng's previous plan. His existence has made the Xudu army in Fenglin Continent no longer a tight monolith.
And with his surrender, his family was also secretly taken to the Nine Shadows Kingdom and settled in a very safe place.
And after knowing that his old boss was not only not excluded in the Nine Shadows Kingdom, but also reused, and learned from the Xuanjiao disciples who contacted him and the colleagues of the Xudu Army that the life of the Nine Shadows Country was free and fair, and all ghosts were dignified, and his colleagues in the Xudu Army also laughed at the innocence of the Nine Shadows King with this, this ghost had no loyalty to the Northern Yin Dynasty full of blood and killing, but was determined to do things for the Nine Shadows Kingdom.
"Really? It's good, it's good. When the blue-faced and fanged officer of the Xudu Army heard this, the seriousness on his face instantly turned into joy. He never expected that his meager efforts would be known to Xiao Shizhu so soon. On the contrary, he fought for the Northern Yin Dynasty for a hundred years, and the Emperor Xudu did not know him. Then, this joy of being affirmed by his ghost made his eyes glow with a little pride and a faint pride, and he slowly swore in his mouth: "I will fight for the Nine Shadows Kingdom for the rest of my life." ”。
As he spoke, the pride in his eyes increased.
"Today's message to you is to risk coming here to tell you that Tai Feng has been imprisoned, and now I am in charge of guarding. This place is far away from Xudu, and it will take at least a month or two to verify his identity, and during this time, the Xudu army here will definitely be scattered on the side. After explaining the current situation to the fungus man in a low voice, the officer asked again, "What do you need me to do next?"
"Evacuate quietly, your mission here has been completed, and your family has arrived in the Nine Shadows Country, it will be very unsafe for you to continue to stay here. The lord specially approves that you will go to the Nine Shadows Kingdom to reunite with your family and live the stable and stable life you want. As he said this, the fungus man casually threw the kernel in his hand......
The sun is cloudy and the sun is sinking in the east, and the twilight between heaven and earth is gloomy. Several iron eagles with black feathers and blue eyes hovered above the Jade Que City in the wind, above the gray sky, overlooking the Jade Que City, where the streets below them were connected and the houses were scattered, and let out a sharp eagle roar.
In the Yuque Palace in the city, the palace people of the Nine Shadows Kingdom performed their own duties, wandering between the pavilions and palaces, and lit the palace lamps in the palace one after another.
At the beginning of the lanterns, the Yuque Palace was filled with a lot of brilliance.
In the Exquisite Fragrance Garden, which is full of exotic flowers and plants, as night falls, the ghost grass planted in it begins to writhe blades of grass and dance gracefully. The white ghost grass slowly erected its flower stems against the soft light of the night pearl in the building, and the white light followed.
The strange birds raised in the building also closed their eyes one after another and fell into a deep sleep.
The big flowers also lie among the strange flowers and grasses, and fall asleep.
In the quiet building, only the ghost mother who was sitting in the middle of the book and reading the book, and the cradle in front of the bed in the depths, couldn't help but gently poke the sleeping second daughter with her hand, and Xiao Shizhu, who had a pink little face, was still awake.
With the Flying Thunder Car, Xiao Shizhu only took one day to feel the Jade Que City from Duxi City. In the afternoon, I had a family banquet with my family, and then after Lai Yueqi and Xiao Fuling returned to the palace, Xiao Shizhu stayed in the Juexiang Garden.
He and Xiao Fuling who stayed behind are worthy of being their own father and daughter, two ghosts and one virtue, when they saw Xiao Fucha's pink little face, they always couldn't help but feel suspicious, and they wanted to poke with their fingers, and the more they poked, the more addictive they became, and they couldn't stop for a while.
After reviewing the last notebook at hand, the ghost mother stood up, stretched out her hands high, and walked slowly towards her husband.
When she arrived at the cradle, she lowered her voice and said to Xiao Shizhu: "Don't poke the tea, she will be woken up by you in a while." ”。
"Hey, hey. Xiao Shizhu, who was very thick-skinned, smiled and poked his daughter's cheek again.
Xiao Fucha, who was asleep, let out a soft dream and frowned lightly.
The ghost mother was like a white husband, pulled him up and leaned down, helped Xiao Fucha fold the brocade quilt, and pulled her husband to the side.
The two ghosts came to the flowers not far away, and Xiao Shizhu immediately went up to the jade chaise long, with a long backrest, placed between Lou Que Zhi (an ancient grass) with a purple stem and a white head and a jade Yun Hui (the name of a vanilla).
I haven't come back for a year, and there hasn't been much change in Juexiang Garden, which makes Xiao Shizhu not feel unfamiliar, but feels comfortable.
The nine jade dragons that are one foot and two inches long and are very exquisitely carved around the recliner continue to flow water from their mouths, and the water flows into the small sink in front of the jade dragon, and then flows back into the dragon's body, making a leisurely sound of piano and string sonata, which makes Xiao Shizhu even more comfortable.
The Ghost Mother sat not far from him, and had begun to soak him in the clouds of his favorite feathered man. Under the mist of hot water, Xiao Shizhu kicked his shoes, lay on the recliner and closed his eyes slightly, and took a long breath.
"I heard that Nulu once wanted to make a promise to you?" After making tea, the ghost mother turned her head to look at her husband Xiao Shizhu, and asked calmly.
"Yes, it's Shi Cassia telling you again, right?" Xiao Shizhu was not surprised, nor did he hide it, and continued to close his eyes and answer bluntly.
"Then why do you want to refuse? The ghost mother nodded her head, stood up with a slight smile, walked slowly to the side of the recliner, and handed the delicate and delicate handpot in her hand to Xiao Shizhu.
"There's no why, I just don't feel it. Xiao Shizhu put the spout into his mouth, and gently sucked the tea in the pot, and a burst of sweetness appeared between his teeth and throat, and his mouth was instantly full of relish.
Then Xiao Shizhu put the teapot in his hand on the small table next to the recliner, and muttered thoughtfully: "But that kid Shi Cassia seems to like her very much." If she can make it to Shi Cassia Ming, then I will have a happy wine to drink. ”。
After that, Xiao Shizhu showed a satisfied look on his face.
"It seems that if the female Lu is married to Shi Cassia Ming, you will be very satisfied with this marriage. The ghost mother, who glanced at her husband's complexion, pursed her lips and smiled.
"Yes, the daughter of the former Yellow Emperor Ji Xuanyuan is the wife of my righteous son, and my face is also bright. Xiao Shizhu nodded his head, straightened his waist and grabbed the ghost mother's hand, and pulled it back hard, so that the ghost mother stumbled and couldn't stand firmly, and immediately fell into his arms.
The beauty is in her arms, and Xiao Shizhu's exhaustion disappears in an instant as always.
For some reason, he was at ease with his ghost mother, and he was also full of energy and motivation.
Seeing that there were no other ghosts around, the ghost mother did not break free, but put her hands on Xiao Shizhu's shoulders, lay quietly in his arms, and asked slowly: "Don't you really regret giving up the nu lu?"
"There's really nothing to regret. Xiao Shizhu stroked his wife's smooth black hair, then gently held a strand of it, put the tip of the hair under his nose, and sniffed the faint fragrance emanating from it.
"What about Kitsune?" Then, the ghost mother asked lightly: "Do you regret the decision to marry her?"
She raised her head slightly as she asked, and looked at her husband's face with a curious gaze.
"I regret not having it, but I just think it's troublesome, and you'll have fewer days here in the future. Xiao Shizhu thought about it for a while with a serious face, and then whispered in a rare whisper: "But if it weren't for the fact that I could have a foreign aid in Dongyingzhou, I wouldn't even want to marry a fox girl." As far as I and you still have a moon girl, I am already very content. ”。
Speaking of this, Xiao Shizhu couldn't help frowning, and a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.
"I've seen the portrait of the fox queen, and she doesn't look ugly, how can you scare the Nine Shadows King who can argue with Emperor Xudu like this?" The grinning ghost mother laughed at her husband who was instantly sad.
