The angry wind outside the tent howled, blowing the four walls of the big tent and making a continuous sound.
Xuanshui raised his eyebrows, and his face was full of displeasure with anger.
The ghost envoy sent by the sky took himself too seriously, and said that he wanted to see the Nine Shadows King without saying a word, which was what made Xuanshui unhappy.
Even if the Nine Ghost Kingdom does not have the same strong hierarchy as the Northern Yin Dynasty and other ghost countries, Xiao Shizhu is the monarch of the country, and above the thousands of ghosts in the country, how noble is it?
"No, it will make the other person suspicious. Hu Hui, who was better than Xuanshui after thinking about it, hurriedly raised his hand after thinking about it, and said thoughtfully with a slight frown: "I suspect that this envoy has another purpose, to find out whether the king is still in Dongyi Continent." ”。
After being reminded by him, Xuanshui suddenly realized. This Xiao Shizhu's banner has been standing in this Ganyuan City, which has played an invisible deterrent to the surrounding ghost countries.
But Xiao Shizhu, the king of the Nine Shadows, has not appeared in Dongyi Continent for a long time. There is no impermeable wall in this world, but I am afraid that this news has drifted to the ears of many days for some reason, so by the way, let the envoy come to the world, and in the name of having to find Xiao Shizhu to talk about cooperation, to find out if the King of Nine Shadows is still in the continent.
Thinking of this, Xuanshui, whose anger turned into anxiety on his face, asked urgently: "What should I do then? ”。
As he spoke, Xuanshui frowned, and pimples wrinkled on his forehead, oozing anxious and hot sweat. His anxiety also infected Ying Lingxing, making that when Ying Lingxing's eyes overflowed in anxiety, a pair of front hooves kept stepping in place.
Hu Hui was much calmer, just frowning slightly and pondering.
"There you go. After a long time, Hu Hui, whose brows had already been stretched, spoke again, breaking the silence in the big tent. He raised his head and looked at Ying Lingxing again: "You go and invite him, don't say that the lord is not in the big tent, just say invite him to the big tent to talk in detail, and I will talk to him specifically." ”。
Seeing that Hu Hui was anxious and didn't see it, he looked confident, although Ying Lingxing didn't know what Hu Hui would say to the envoy, he still nodded and retreated.
"Old Hu, what do you want to say to that envoy?" Xuan Shui was curious for a moment, and hurriedly asked when Ying Lingxing withdrew from the big tent.
"Don't be impatient, just drink tea quietly and watch. Hu Hui smiled slightly, and the corners of his mouth were curled up with a hint of inscrutable.
The cloudy day was eastward, and the wisps of red that leaked from the opening on the top of the big tent were like the light of the blood-cloudy day, slanting slightly towards the west.
The afternoon comfort in the cloudy light made Xuanshui have a rare patience, silently raised his teacup, blew the hot air rising from the cup, and waited quietly.
In the matter of fighting, he Xuanshui is very good at charging and killing the enemy, but he is really good at dealing with interpersonal relationships, strategizing, and routines for his ghosts in a few words, and his Xuanshui is really not as good as Hu Hui in front of him.
I had to put away my curiosity for the time being and wait quietly.
After a while, the distant sound of Ying Lingxing's horse's hooves turned back again, and then Ying Lingxing's angry voice came from the door: "Come and make the inside, please, the ghost inside will give you a satisfactory answer." ”。
When the words landed, the curtain of the door was raised again, and the yin wind swirled and burrowed into the tent, bringing a chill.
With it, there are three human souls. The ghost at the head wore a golden hoop, was dressed in a blue robe, and had a green face with a deep gloom. Behind him were two heads with skin not half an inch long, no flesh and blood, two eyeballless eye sockets hollow, no lips and teeth exposed. But on the top of the skull composed of white bones, a black and slender mantle can grow from the bones.
One of the ghosts held a talisman, and the other held a wooden plate, which was held by a bloody human ghost's head.
Hu Hui is a human soul who has been mixed with Mo Zhai and the Ghost King, and he has a lot of experience. Only then did he see the human soul at the head, and after a few more glances, Hu Hui recognized that this ghost was the lock general silver lock in the shackles who was responsible for sending the book of life and death together with the ghosts of reincarnation to Meng Pozhuang on the edge of the Nai He Bridge.
I heard that this ghost once attacked the city of Manjiang with the cloudy sky, was killed on the cloudy day, and fled with a part of the remnants of the defeated army after the combined army of the Northern Yin Dynasty was defeated;
"Is this the Nine Shadows King?" The general Suo took advantage of Hu Hui to look at him, and stood in front of him, bowed and bowed slightly.
"I'm not the King of the Nine Shadows, I'm just Hu Hui, the highest local official. And this is General Xuanshui, the supreme military general of our country. Hu Hui smiled indifferently and pointed to the Xuanshui beside him to introduce General Suo.
"What, you're not the King of the Nine Shadows?" General Suo heard this, and a trace of displeasure immediately appeared on his face: "The one who wants to see this envoy is the King of the Nine Shadows. ”。
After finishing speaking, he snorted lightly, his face suddenly showed a little arrogance, and his head was slightly raised.
"Your envoy is sorry, our king went to Longju Pass to inspect. You should also know that King Lei Ze wants to give my country some color without knowing whether he is alive or dead, how can our king endure it?" Hu Hui stroked the beard hanging down his chin, his face was still smiling, he bent his eyebrows and squinted at General Suo in front of him, and said unhurriedly: "Maybe we have to go to war, and we won't be able to come back for a while." If you have anything, then tell us here, and then we will report to you, and wait for two or three days, and then we can wait for my king's reply. Or if you think that General Xuanshui and I are not qualified to talk to you, then stay in the city, and we will definitely wait for you with good food and drink. As for you, wait patiently for ten days and a half months, or a month, and then our king will come back, and you will talk to him at that time. ”。
Hu replied to this, not only made General Suo unable to determine that Xiao Shizhu was not in Dongyi Continent, but also easily resolved the matter that the other party had to see Xiao Shizhu.
And in the middle of a few words, the general who said it was anxious.
He can wait for the lock general, but the Repeated Heavens and the Six Heavens can't wait. In addition to the Nine Shadows in Dongyi Continent, the other ghost countries are gathering large armies and preparing to attack again, and even Dayi's Fusang Kingdom is also preparing for a second attack.
The pressure on the Six Heavens Palace is too great, and General Suo can't wait.
For a moment, the arrogance on his face was gone, and only anxiety and eagerness remained.
Hu Hui was very calm, leisurely raised his teacup, took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, raised his hand and patted it gently.
Two applause rang out, and when the big tent echoed, a guard walked in from outside the door, stood beside General Suo, and saluted Hu Hui: "My lord, what do you command?"
"Give tea to the watchers. Hu replied with an order, and the guard retreated. Xuanshui also knew how Hu Hui was going to resolve this matter, so he simply raised the teacup leisurely and sipped the tea slowly.
"Lord Hu, it's not that the envoy looks down on adults, but that the matter is big, and I can only ask your king to make the decision. Seeing that Hu Hui and Xuanshui were complacent, General Suo was even more anxious, like an ant on a hot pot, hurriedly took a step forward, and asked urgently: "Can you open a road guide and let me go to Longju Pass to meet your king." ”。
"It's not good. Hu Hui's face suddenly showed a little embarrassment, and he slowly shook his head: "That Longju Pass is a military important place in our country, and the ghost envoy is just an envoy, and it is really difficult for us to enter and exit this kind of place casually." ”。
As soon as these words came out, the anxiety on General Suo's face increased instead of decreasing. Hu Hui, who paused, immediately hit the railway while it was hot after seeing this: "And this time, every ten days is half a month away, you might as well wait here, and wait for the king to come back and talk to you when he is done." ”。
"This ......" For a while, General Suo was even more anxious.
At this moment, the departing guards brought three chairs and three cups of hot tea with a few ghost soldiers, and after the chairs were placed in the big tent, they gave the hot tea to General Suo and the two ghosts he brought, invited them to sit down, and served hot tea.
Holding the teacup in his hand and watching the heat rising from the cup, General Suo was even more restless.
It's still the same question, he can wait by himself, but the Six Heavens Kingdom and the Repeated Heavens can't wait. If the Nine Shadows Kingdom can't send troops in time to contain one or two ghost kingdoms that attack the Six Heavens, then the Six Heavens Kingdom will definitely be invincible with two fists and four hands.
"What's going on, what's going on, what's going on. Hu Hui deliberately pretended to be stupid, and then said to the guards who were about to withdraw: "You are going to cut some dragon liver melons to quench your thirst." ”。
Xuan Shui, who was on the side, saw a burst of joy in his heart, this nonsense, knowing that General Suo, who was already worried, was in a hurry, and deliberately pretended to be stupid as if he didn't know. In a word, after seeing Xiao Shizhu's success, even if the envoy agreed to wait for a month, then he had a way to spread the news to Yuque City and invite Xiao Shizhu over.
But looking at General Suo's anxious appearance, it seems that he can't wait for a month. Perhaps, I can't even wait for half a month.
Xuanshui couldn't help but admire his old partner Hu Hui, and after a little thought, he could come up with a countermeasure to change from passive to active in a moment, and he was about to let that happen, so anxious that he begged them in turn.
"Then report to your father-in-law, it will take a few days to get a reply?" Sure enough, after a moment of silence, General Suo asked again.
The hot tea in my hand is really not in the mood to take a sip. Let that cup of medium-hot tea quietly rise up like wisps of mist-like heat.
"In three days at most, you will receive a reply from the flying pigeon. Hu Hui said, holding up the three fingers of his right hand.
That had caused General Lock to fall into deep thought again, and it seemed that waiting here for an answer was the quickest thing to do.
After pondering for a long time, General Suo finally had to nod: "Then there is this lord, Lao, we are not here for anything else, just to talk about cooperation with the Nine Shadows Kingdom." ”。
With that, General Suo beckoned behind him. Among the two ghosts who followed him, the one with a bloody human ghost head got up and strode forward, standing beside General Suo.
"As a sign of sincerity, we bring this. General Suo pointed to the ghost head that this ghost was carrying in his hand, and said, "This is the ghost head of the Northern Yin Dynasty who instigated the Lei Ze Kingdom to launch a surprise attack on your country. ”。
Hu Hui bowed his head slightly, looking at the ghost head that had been blessed by the ghost magic and had not turned into powder, but his eyes were wide open, and his face was covered with blood for a moment, and he was secretly shocked in his heart.
He clearly remembered that although the portrait secretly transmitted by his Xuanjiao disciples was similar to this ghost head, the bridge of his nose was higher than the ghost head he saw at this moment, and his eyes were not so slender.
Just when Hu Hui secretly hesitated, General Nasuo said: "My lord hopes that the re-cooperation with the Nine Shadows Kingdom is to jointly send troops to attack the Dongyi Continent, and the other ghost countries that have taken refuge in the Northern Yin Dynasty, I hope that the Nine Shadows King can give us an answer as soon as possible." ”。
