In the Yuque Palace at night, the halls and pavilions made of jade are shining brighter than the daytime under the lights. At night, it blooms with a different kind of beauty.

The night breeze is slightly cool, and the yin qi in the Yuque Palace rises and pervades. The ghost mist drifted around, and the halls and pavilions and the plants and trees in the palace loomed in the ghost fog.

The night wind could not blow away the ghost fog in the wandering palace, but it made this ghost palace no longer gloomy and terrifying, but shrouded in a layer of hazy beauty.

In the middle of Su Tianju, there was a lot of noise in the tower, and the busy ghost doctors were busy treating the disciples of Su Tianju who were weak and weak after the operation.

After Shenji finished saying those words, he fed Shenji some concocted tonic that continued the ghost's life to eat.

These small particles of pills are life-sustaining pills that have been prepared for a long time. Although it can't change the symptoms of rapid aging after Shenjishi's surgery, it can allow his ghost life to be temporarily extended, so that he will not continue to age rapidly and die quickly.

"You rest first, let the ghost doctor give you a good look. The ghost mother nodded and said to Shen Ji: "The Nine Shadows Kingdom will not forget the contributions you and your clan have made today. As for the rest, I'll be sure to take care of it. ”。

After finishing speaking, she ordered the ghost doctor beside her: "For the disciples of the fungus people and Su Tianju, you must use the best medical skills and medicines, and use the best treatment. ”。

After the ghost doctor answered, the ghost mother signaled Shen Ji not to talk more, and after resting first, she turned around and walked out of the tower with Xiao Ling.

When he walked out of the tower, the spring clouds waiting outside greeted him.

"How is it on Shuoyue Island?" asked the ghost mother, who also greeted her, in a soft voice.

"The latest fungus messenger said that Ying Zhao repelled an enemy attack, but Gong Mingyi was crazy, and the casualties may have made him very unwilling. The offensive is still being organized, and it is quite violent. Chunyun turned around and followed behind the ghost mother who was walking straight towards the gate of Su Tianju, and then said: "This is a bit of a ruin, but Ying Zhao can obviously hold it." ”。

"Well, Gong Mingyi can indeed fight, since the founding of our country, he can hit Shuoyue Island, damage the fortifications of Shuoyue Island, and kill the enemy ghost general with the most soldiers in our country. However, now that Gong Mingyi has broken the cauldron, it is time to inform the armies of Sanxing Island and Heilong Island to start operations as originally planned, and begin to encircle the ghost soldiers of Xudu near Shuoyue Island. The ghost mother stood in front of the gate of Su Tianju, raising her eyes and looking ahead, under the bright lights, flashing a soft light in the mist.

The lights and the light on the buildings caused countless halos in the ghost fog, which added a glow to the ghost fog, which was very beautiful.

"The co-working sailors can also start cutting off Gong Mingyi's grain supply and reinforcements. The ghost mother paused, and then ordered Chunyun behind her: "The ghost soldiers of Fengdui County and Danshui County also began to rush to the aid of Shuoyue Island according to the original plan. If Gong Mingyi wants to be crazy, he will play him even crazier. ”。

Chunyun nodded his head, answered and strode away. After a while, in front of the gate of this tall and majestic Su Tianju, only the disciples and the ghost mother and daughter were left standing guard.

"Mother, my dad is not on Shuoyue Island. The yin wind swirled lightly, blowing the skirts of the ghost mother and Xiao Fuling. Xiao Fuling pulled the ghost mother aside, stood in a secluded corner away from the guards, frowned and said the doubts in her heart: "If my father is on Shuoyue Island, there is no need to damage the ghost life of the fungus man. ”。

After Xiao Fuling finished speaking, she lowered her head slightly and looked at the tips of her shoes, and pondered.

She knew her father, who was good at winning with lies and deception in battles, and he was good at winning more with less. If Xiao Shizhu was really on Shuoyue Island, he wouldn't have used the fungus man god Ji to cast a spell to fix the ghost soldiers.

Xiao Shizhu will not be poor in donkey skills, and he has to rely on such a troublesome magic technique to win.

Judging from the general signs, Xiao Fuling eliminated all the impossibilities according to what Xiao Shizhu taught her, and the rest was the truth no matter how incredible it was, and she came to the conclusion that Xiao Shizhu was not on Shuoyue Island at all.

"Why do you think so?" Although the ghost mother still looked calm on the surface, she still had a wave in her heart, and she was secretly surprised, tried her best to control her tone, and deceived her daughter without hurrying, and said: "This Gong Mingyi is not a good type, he is also insidious and vicious, arranging troops and battlefield experience, and your father is a chess opponent, so you have to use this killer weapon." ”。

This is just a white lie, not a deliberate concealment of distrust; with the ghost mother's understanding of her daughter Xiao Fuling, if she really knew that Xiao Shizhu had gone to Huangquan, and didn't take her with her, it would be strange if she didn't make any noise!

In many places, Xiao Poria has inherited Xiao Caryophyllus's stinky disease. As long as you find it interesting, you also think it's fun to get involved in danger. Huangquan has always been a mysterious existence, even for the Netherworld, the ghosts of today have never set foot in Huangquan.

To let Xiao Fuling know that if her father went to Huangquan without taking her, how many days would it take for the trouble to stop?

So the ghost mother is also good at using this lie to hold on, and continue to hide it.

"Mother, did my father go to Dongyizhou? I heard that the fighting over there was also very fierce, and the Beiyin Dynasty was also sending reinforcements to Dongyizhou in a steady stream. Xiao Fuling raised her eyes, looked at her mother with a firm gaze, and continued to beg the ghost mother softly: "I won't go around preaching, I'm not a big mouth, just tell me." ”。

After saying this, Xiao Fuling's eyes were a little more curious. There is still a bit of anticipation, mixed in.

She looked forward to the ghost mother's affirmative nod, so as to prove that she was right, and also expected her ability to affirm.

The ghost mother also noticed this, but she was also very good at borrowing the slope to get off the donkey, so she nodded slightly and sold a pass: "I don't think it's better to be like this, when your father comes back and you ask him, he will tell you whether your speculation is right or not." ”。

But he secretly scolded in his heart: "Xiao Shizhu, come back from your death, I really can't think of a lie to deceive my daughter." ”......

Yellow Springs, Middle Earth.

Xiao Shizhu's insect tactics successfully captured the ghost city occupied by the ghost soldiers of Xudu. After opening a warehouse and distributing all the weapons and money to the local enslaved Huangquan ghosts, he led the army away.

Of course, he also took a lot of grain and grass with him. As for Ke Yun, no matter how she looks at it recently, she feels that Xiao Shizhu was born as a robber, and it seems that he is not a son of God.

Xiao Shizhu's various behaviors are no different from those of the Green Forest robbers. Of course, except for the opening of the warehouse to release grain, the others are all banditry.

He even let a few of the ghost soldiers who survived and were not beheaded, and brought a ransom letter to the eight commanders of the ghost soldiers.

threatened that if the ghost soldiers of Xudu cut the land and pay compensation, and offered a large number of treasures, grain, grass and materials to the Queen of Huangquan, then he would cancel the attack plan. In fact, he led the ghost soldiers of Huangquan to burn and loot the passes and dock forts of several ghost soldiers in Xudu.

Moreover, Xiao Shizhu will also cut off the heads of the ghosts and ghosts of the ghost soldiers, put on the long hair made of wooden sticks, and insert them on the border line to set an example. For a while, even the fierce ghost soldiers were all panicked.

What's more, Xiao Shizhu led the ghost soldiers to cross the mountains and mountains all day long, walking through the vast forests, leaving the official road and not walking, relying on the deep mountains and old forests as a cover, it can be said that the dragon sees the head but does not see the end.

Those ghost soldiers have been in Huangquan for thousands of years, and they have not been connected with the outside world, and they have stayed in a blocked place for a long time, how have they seen him in such a wild way, and they are at a loss all of a sudden, and they don't know what to do?

On this day, Xiao Shizhu led the army to walk for half a day in the ancient mossy ancient trees between the broken rocks and the ancient trees, and after turning over two cloudy mountains and mountains, he stopped on the slope of the lush vegetation.

Xiao Shizhu asked the army to rest and recuperate in the deserted forest, and at the same time arranged for the bright and dark sentinels to guard the four weeks, and let the female Lu lead the team to find a water source. But he stood in a secluded corner, raised his eyes and looked down the mountain, the crooked official road around the mountain next to the foot of the mountain was stunned.

There is no shop in front of the village here, and there is no end in sight on the official road. In the light of the cloudy day, only the dust on the road flies in the wind. It's true that you can't even see a ghost, let alone a fleet of vehicles and horses.

However, it is located between mountains and mountains, and there is no shop in front of the village, and it is normal for the road to be empty.

Ke Yun walked to Xiao Shizhu's side, looked along the place where his gaze passed, and didn't know what to look at in this broken road, so he didn't think about it and said bluntly: "It's just a broken road, why is the son of God suddenly so interested in it?"

"Broken road, do you call this road from south to north, connecting the southern border of Middle Earth a broken road?" Xiao Shizhu smiled slightly, his eyes never moved, and he still looked down the hillside through the shade of the trees: "This is the grain road of the ghost soldiers of Xudu." It is responsible for transporting grain, grass and supplies for the ghost soldiers in the southern border passes, and you actually call it a roadbreaker. If you want me to see it, this is a way to get rich. ”。

Before this was the case, Xiao Shizhu had already asked Qin Yuan to find out the situation. Investigation is also Qin Yuan's forte, so while robbing houses, Xiao Shizhu often sent Qin Yuan to investigate. During his investigation, he found that there were several remote official roads that did not allow ghosts other than ghost soldiers to pass, and there were patrols on the roads every day, patrolling back and forth from time to time. After careful investigation, it was found that all of these official roads led to the southern border.

And when Xiao Shizhu chatted with the ghost soldiers under Ke Yun, he learned that in recent years, the ghost soldiers of Xudu have built a lot of border fortresses in the southern wilderness outside of Middle-earth. Just like the pass they conquered in the first battle, it was built on a wilderness covered with yellow sand and no grass. It is a ghost soldier of Xudu, a bridgehead for troops in the hinterland of the southern wilderness.

Therefore, there will be a small force that can kill all the way to the edge of the passage connecting the Netherworld. There will also be Lin Yun's internal and external cooperation, which attracted hundreds of thousands of ghost soldiers to besiege the Holy Land for a time.

The key to the role of these bridgeheads is to allow the ghost soldiers of Xudu to penetrate deep into the hinterland of the south.

And in the wilderness full of yellow sand, there is no way to cultivate. Xiao Shizhu combined with the news sent by Qin Yuan, and immediately made a decision, believing that these official roads must be the grain roads of the Xudu Army Pass built in the wilderness.

So he thought of a bold plan, cut off the grain road, and give those ghost soldiers in the wilderness pass a salary.

At the same time, experienced scouts and heralds who are good at camouflage and stealth were sent to return to the southern wilderness overnight, and informed the Queen of Huangquan to gather troops and horses to prepare to attack the Xudu Army Pass in those wilderness.

Sure enough, he saw ghost soldiers escorting grain and grass supplies, heading from north to south.

There is no doubt that these official roads are grain routes, and as long as the grain and grass are cut off and the grain roads are destroyed, the ghost soldiers stationed in the wilderness will inevitably be in chaos.

Moreover, those Huangquan ghost soldiers under Xiao Shizhu can still fight with war, and those who can't eat up the grain and grass they have grabbed can also be destroyed on the spot.

Therefore, Xiao Shizhu regarded this grain road in front of him as a financial road, and his eyes were shining and his face was full of excitement.
