The sea breeze brought up the faint fishy smell in the Yellow Springs Sea, and slowly blew across the mountain bay.

The souls of people like Gonggong, who call themselves old gods in the Nine Shadows Kingdom, have a common problem, that is, they all think that except for Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother and their own ghosts, all the other ghosts are inferior to them.

Although he also faithfully implements the equality of ghosts formulated by Xiao Shizhu, when he gets along with his colleagues who were born in a poor family that Xiao Shizhu promoted and reused, he will always inadvertently show the pride of these old gods.

But since the last time he misused Dong Meng, the son of Dong Wuha, as a general, and almost led to the annihilation of the island attack army, Gonggong has faded from the pride of the old god.

This is the scene where he humbly asked Lin Cong for advice. Co-workers, who have become much more humble, also want to learn from other ghosts their strengths to make up for their shortcomings. That's why I humbly asked Lin Cong to see how Lin Cong used ghosts.

But when he heard that Lin Cong wanted to use a talented ghost as a pioneer, he couldn't help but ask, "Why is this?"

"The reason is very simple, one is that Zhu Hai can fight martial arts, and he is also a brave and resourceful human soul; when I was still in the world, the story of his courage and strategy was circulated in the market, so he was fully qualified for the position of pioneer. Second, he has hatred, hatred for the enslavement of other souls by the Mao ghosts of the Mao Republic of China, and this alone can allow him to fight every battle against the Mao Republic of China. Lin Cong just glanced at the incomprehensible look in the eyes of the co-workers, and smiled lightly.

"It's true that he Zhu Hai has courage, but he was also a coward who was blindly escaping before, such a human soul is a pioneer, isn't Lord Lin afraid that he will escape from the battle?"

"His escape is because he can't defeat all the Maomin ghost soldiers himself, and he knows that tangling dozens of unarmed souls to rebel is to use the mantis arm as a car, which is undoubtedly looking for death. Lin Cong looked at the incomprehension on the face of the co-worker, his eyes became deep, and then he slowly explained: "When I was still in the world, there was still an allusion in the world, called lying on the salary and tasting the gall. It is the story of how Goujian, the king of Yue, was soft on Wu Wangfu and finally defeated King Wu. ”。

Gonggong obviously didn't know about lying on the salary and tasting courage, and when he was a tribal leader in the world, Gou Jian was not born yet.

Seeing a trace of confusion flashing in his eyes, Lin Cong smiled indifferently: "That is to say, endure humiliation." ”。

Hearing this, the co-worker nodded as if he didn't understand.

"Zhu Hai was just lying on his salary and tasting courage and enduring humiliation. After a pause, Lin Cong turned to look at the Gonggong flagship in front of him, and continued to explain to the Gonggong: "If he is really cowardly, he will not help us set fire to Haigu Mountain, so as to attract the attention of the Maomin ghost soldiers." And he agreed to do internal response for us, mostly out of his hatred for the hairy ghosts. ”。

On the tall flagship, the sails rolled up were lowered one by one, and the sailors made their final preparations in the night wind, and the sailors began their final preparations before setting sail.

At this time, the co-workers already roughly understood why Lin Cong wanted to use this ghost as a pioneer. After thinking about it for a while, he nodded and said slowly: "Lord Lin does use ghosts more than me, it seems that in the future, I will learn more from Lord Lin." ”。

"The Governor of the Gonggong has taken a heavy note, and we have learned from each other by the words that the lord often said, and your trip is to cut off the sea fortune of the Xudu army, just remember one point. The purpose is to harass and destroy, not to kill a lot of enemies. Lin Cong turned around again, looked at the co-worker and smiled slightly, and advised: "If you can bombard the enemy ship from a long distance and destroy the enemy's grain ship, you don't have to approach the enemy fleet for close combat at all." ”。

The co-worker nodded, taking these words to heart. This time, you may also encounter the Xiazhou National Naval Division led by Tianwu, which is a naval general who is said to be invincible across the Huangquan Sea, and it is better to deal with it cautiously.

"Lord Nalin has taken his leave. Immediately after he saluted Lin Cong, he resolutely turned around and boarded his flagship.

Shortly after the co-workers boarded the ship, the sampans were removed.

On the mast, the sails are blowing in the wind, and the anchor is slowly rising. Dozens of warships of the Nine Shadows Kingdom followed the flagship of the Gonggong in an orderly manner and slowly sailed out of the mountain bay in the dawn, heading towards the west to ride the wind and waves......

Xuanyan Zhouzhu County, under the stone city.

By dawn, the battle in Xiao Shizhuxing's camp was over.

The accompanying forbidden army was already very combative, and although the demon souls and human souls who participated in the assassination were daring to die, they could not withstand the attack of the well-equipped and well-trained forbidden army of the Nine Shadow Kings.

Except for the sudden burning of the camp and the air raid on the gods, which burned and killed dozens of ghosts, none of the other accompanying ghosts were killed, and only a dozen sergeants were wounded. But the ghosts who participated in the assassination were not so lucky, and they all ended up either dead or injured.

Now all the wounded have been captured, and the fire in the camp has been extinguished.

After the forbidden soldiers tied them up with ropes, Xiao Shizhu walked up to the captives with the Moon Destroying Sword and asked coldly, "Do you want me to die like that?"

The night wind howled, blowing his black robe. The flames in the brazier around him were also swaying in the wind, reflecting Xiao Shizhu's face uncertainly.

Among these captives, there are many human souls, but there are only dozens of demon souls, but after hearing the words, they all bowed their heads slightly and did not answer.

"There are a lot of souls, there are also ghost people from the Nine Shadows Kingdom among you, right?" Xiao Shizhu waited for a moment, and after seeing that they still didn't answer, he looked around at these captives a few more times, and then continued to ask coldly: "Where am I, Xiao Shizhu, sorry for you? Is it to let you have no food or drink, or let you live in oppression every day?"

When he finished speaking, a faint look of anger appeared on Xiao Shizhu's face and between his eyebrows.

Then his grim gaze fell on the face of one of the gray-faced people dressed in gorgeous clothes, and said: "Among them, there are many former powerful children?

After a pause, he bowed his head slightly and said: "That's right, this can also be regarded as a reason to hate me, but can you kill me? When you are powerful and powerful, I can bring you down one by one, now you have no power and no power, and the thugs and disciples who used to be kept at home have also been dismissed, what are you going to fight with me?"

"How powerful is Du Ziren? How numerous is the Southern Barbarian Army? How brave and good at fighting is the Xudu Army? Aren't they all defeated in my hands? With a few of you idle people, what qualifications do you have to be my Xiao Shizhu's enemy?" Xiao Shizhu snorted coldly, looked directly at the human soul in gorgeous clothes, and asked rhetorically: "And at least after weakening your power, I have already given you space and capital to live, right?" Among you powerful children, if anyone dares to say that as long as he was killed by the blood of a ghost, after his house was raided, the yamen and the imperial court did not give you the land, and did not give you farm tools, seeds and cattle, all stand up and let me see who did not receive it. ”。

As soon as these words came out, the few Haoqiang children in gorgeous costumes among the captives lowered their heads a little lower.

What Xiao Shizhu said was the truth, whether they wanted to admit it or not, it was the truth; the soul in front of him had vigorously suppressed the lawless heroes, and he would never be soft on the lawless heroes. However, as long as Haoqiang's children and family members did not kill ghosts for no reason, after finding out, the local yamen built them houses and distributed them with fields and farm tools.

If you don't want to be a farmer, you can take the voucher of the yamen to go to the Netherworld Cabinet Workshop (equivalent to the bank in the world) opened by the Imperial Court of the Nine Shadows Kingdom in various places to borrow a hundred taels of netherworld silver, and then use it to do business.

The money can be repaid after 100 years without interest. Xiao Shizhu can be regarded as benevolent and righteous to these powerful children.

To suppress and severely punish them is nothing more than to weaken their power, so that they will not be the head of the land in one piece of land, and they will do nothing every day, but they will only rely on their wealth and power to bully people too much, but they will never treat them badly, nor will they be divided into three, six, nine, and so on.

It's just that whether it's a loan or farmland, they all use it to buy wine and drink as soon as they get it.

Therefore, in the face of Xiao Shizhu's questioning, they were speechless.

"Won't your conscience hurt?" Xiao Shizhu finished asking, stopped talking nonsense with them, and turned around and left.

When he turned around, one of the captives suddenly shouted, "King of the Nine Shadows, I, we were all instigated by the Governor Zhang. ”。

Xiao Shizhu suddenly stopped when he heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then slowly turned around, looked at the captive who had just shouted, and asked lightly: "Governor Zhang?"

"Yes. After the soul nodded, he continued to tell Xiao Shizhu all the way: "Governor Zhang didn't know where to invite a vamphore named Xu Cang to be his own master. These demon souls are all under Xu Cang's orders. And we were invited by him for fifty taels of silver for a ghost. Xu Cang and Governor Zhang both said that as long as we kill you, we can still return to the lawless life we had before. Kill any ghost that doesn't please the eye if you want, and sleep with a female ghost who wants to sleep. ”。

"And they can continue to oppress the weak at will, anyway, the old hierarchy can be restored. The voice of this soul became smaller and smaller, and the shame on his face became heavier and heavier.

The other Haoqiang disciples also nodded yes one after another.

"Spring Cold!" After he finished speaking, Xiao Shizhu immediately shouted solemnly: "Quickly lead five hundred cavalry into the city, and arrest the prefect of Zhang and the blood-eating ghost named Xu Cang." ”。

Xiao Shizhu suddenly realized the seriousness of the situation, and the submissive face of the prefect of Shizhang in the middle of the gods during the day made him feel a faint fear.

A ghost who was about to assassinate him could naturally show a respectful appearance in front of him, lying without a red face and a heartbeat. And the mastermind behind his death was actually the magistrate under him, which made Xiao Shizhu feel frightened.

Xiao Shizhu, an external enemy, has always been fearless, and he firmly believes that as long as he is united with the ghosts in the Nine Shadows Kingdom, there is no foreign enemy that he cannot win.

But when the internal thief caught him off guard, the hairs on his back stood upside down. These ghosts, who used to be respectful to him, actually showed a fierce and hideous face behind their backs.

In vain, Xiao Shizhu used to pay for them, and while improving the quality of life of the ghost people, he also wanted to give them these local officials a boost.

This made Xiao Shizhu feel more and more like this, and realized that he was really careless this time, he should have taken down the Zhang Governor's Mansion on the spot during the day, and he didn't have to wait for the county guard to remove the other party, then tonight's assassination would not have happened.

But his carelessness was also because of the servile face of Governor Zhang's mansion, thinking about this, Xiao Shizhu was even more angry.

"No!" Chunhan, who answered, quickly turned over and climbed onto his mount, and after gathering five hundred cavalry, he slaughtered towards the stone city under the cover of night.

"Tiger Biao!" At the same time, Xiao Shizhu raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "Lead the Yulin Army to immediately block all the main roads around Jishi City, and if you find that the surname Zhang is running away, you will be arrested immediately." If he has guards, they will be killed!"
