The car speeding in the wind and rain sped on the straight and flat underworld, constantly splashing muddy water.

Although the driver of the car raised the whip again and again, it also made the car drive smoothly.

The ghosts in the carriage did not feel too obvious bumps.

Qinglan had already gotten up, walked to the door of the car, opened the curtain, and said to the coachman in the sound of wind and rain: "The lord has an order, find a post house to rest overnight, and it's not too late to hurry tomorrow." ”。

This is what Xiao Shizhu said before.

The coachman nodded and said, "Got it." ”。

As soon as the words came out, he whipped the beast soul pulling the cart again.

Qinglan lowered the curtain and sat back in the car again.

Xiao Shizhu was still pondering, and in order for the piano to play a greater role, he first had to make some articles in the next few hours.

Otherwise, once Changqin leaves the Qingqiu Fox Country, it will not be of much use.

He held his smooth-looking jug in his hand and pondered for a long time.

It's not an easy thing to do.

After a long time, Xiao Shizhu, who thought about it for a long time, finally decided to give up this plan.

Indeed, in this short period of time, he has thought of more than a dozen ideas, which can make Changqin play a greater role, but it is too risky, and it is easy to startle the snake.

In today's situation, the Nine Shadows Kingdom must not put the treasure on the body of a ghost in Changqin.

In the end, Xiao Shizhu still dispelled this idea.

At this time, Qinglan suddenly turned her head to look at Xiao Shizhu, and said with a little worry: "Lord, you don't have a large number of guards around you now, wouldn't it be too risky to venture into an unfortified post house?"

"Don't get in the way, my identity is not so obvious, just don't call me lord when you enter the inn. Xiao Shizhu came to his senses from his contemplation, slowly shook his head, and said disapprerovingly: "Just call me master when the time comes." ”。

This is thanks to the fact that there is no communication equipment that can be imaged in the Netherworld, and Xiao Shizhu does not have to go on TV in front of everyone, his appearance and figure are not known to all ghosts, but he can disguise himself as an ordinary ghost every time he has a private visit to Weifu, and while it is much safer, he can also see many things that he couldn't see in the palace in the past.

Qinglan thought about it secretly, and also felt that this was a solution, so she nodded and agreed, no longer worrying about anything.

"By the way, did Lin Cong secretly report a matter last time. After Qinglan nodded, Xiao Shizhu suddenly asked him: "It is said that the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom has carried out several massacres of giant ghosts after our country withdrew its troops. In order to deter those tall and powerful giants and ghosts. ”。

Qinglan thought about it, and recalled that there was really such a thing, but it was half a year ago.

Qinglan was also present at that time, and he remembered that Xiao Shizhu didn't say anything when he heard the news, but because he was first spoken by the Qingqiu Fox Country, with the Qingqiu Fox Country as the boundary, the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom in the northern parts of Dongyingzhou could occupy it and take it as his own.

And the Giant Country happened to be in the northern region of the Qingqiu Fox Country, and Xiao Shizhu's Nine Shadow Army only helped them solve the border crisis, but they couldn't interfere and interfere with the plans and actions of the Qingqiu Fox Country against the giant ghosts, so after listening to the report, Xiao Shizhu didn't say anything.

Moreover, although Qingqiu Fox King's move was cruel, Xiao Shizhu, whose hands were not clean, did not like to accuse others of standing at the highest point of morality because of his temporary cleanliness.

But now to make some articles on this matter, Xiao Shizhu is still happy to do it.

"Shenchi, contact Lin Cong. Thinking of this, Xiao Shizhu's eyes moved and fell on a fungus man with a wrinkled face and purple-black fibrous roots under his jaw beside the black monkey: "Ask him if any of the giant ghosts have been inserted into our spies?"

The fungus man named Shenchi bowed slightly, closed his eyes and concentrated, and sent Xiao Shizhu's words back to the Yuque Palace.

After a while, Shen Chi opened his eyes again, turned his head to Xiao Shizhu and said, "Back to the king, Lord Lin said that the arrangement was completed three months ago. Most of the giant ghosts have also learned that our country did not participate in the cleansing and slaughter of them by the Qingqiu Fox Country. The attitude towards our country is still relatively good. ”。

"Well, that's good. Xiao Shizhu raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, then sent the spout of the teapot in his hand to his mouth, and took a deep sip of the tea in the pot.

"Tell Lin Cong to see if we can bring the giant ghosts to our side. Recalling the sweetness of the tea, Xiao Shizhu said this order to the fungus man.

Shenchi, like the other fungus people, would not question Xiao Shizhu's orders. Their task is simply to deliver the message.

After hearing Xiao Shizhu say this, Shen Chi closed his eyes again and concentrated on it, and spread the news to Lin Cong in Yuque City.

Instead, Qinglan thought for a while and said to Xiao Shizhu: "Lord, after all, we have attacked the Giant Country together with the Qingqiu Fox Country, and the giant ghosts of the Giant Country may not stand with us. ”。

He didn't want to sweep away Mu Qingming's excitement, he just said a fact.

When the Giant Ghosts and the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom were in full swing and almost captured Qingqiu Mountain, it was the Nine Shadows Army that rushed to support in time and repelled the Giant Ghost Army.

Then Chunhan was ordered to lead the army north, commanding a part of the expeditionary army of the Nine Shadows Kingdom and the army of the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom all the way north, and the giants and ghosts lost their armor.

Half of the hatred of the giants and ghosts belongs to the Nine Shadows Kingdom.

Even if the giant ghosts are friendly to the Nine Shadows, it is impossible to help the Nine Shadows to do anything.

"What an eternal friend or foe? Xiao Shizhu also knew that there was little hope, but he still wanted to give it a go.

The giant ghost is located in the rear of the Qingqiu Fox Country, and is enslaved by the fox ghost to do some hard work to ensure that the war machine of the Qingqiu Fox Country can operate normally.

If you can win over the giant ghosts, it is equivalent to giving the Qingqiu Fox Country a salary from the bottom of the kettle.

This time caused the Nine Shadows Kingdom and the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom to quickly turn their faces, but Xiao Shizhu didn't care anymore and it didn't matter. The Qingqiu Fox Kingdom has not done much to be sorry for the Nine Shadows Country, and even the rainy season will take the lead in attacking.

Xiao Shizhu had to make some preparations in advance.

Qing Lan saw that he had already made up her mind, so she didn't say anything more.

And Xiao Shizhu also put down the pot in his hand, leaned back against the carriage, listened to the sound of wind and rain outside the car, and snoozed off with his eyes closed......

After a night, the sunny weather near Qingqiu Mountain was obscured by dark clouds.

The thick dark clouds filled the earth with darkness, and the cold wind kept howling, and although it had not yet rained, the air was already full of cold.

Between heaven and earth, it is cold.

From time to time, from the edge of the sky, a few faint muffled thunders can be heard. With the sound of thunder, the dark clouds hung even lower.

It may not be long before the heavy rain arrives as scheduled.

Changqin, who got up early, sat on the edge of the bed and stared at the front of him in a daze.

The wine left over from last night's banquet has passed, and Changqin, who has just woken up, is always a little in good spirits.

In the past few days, he has been tired of dealing with the Qingqiu Fox Country, not to mention, and he has to act in front of them, Changqin is really a little tired, fortunately, he is not a novice, he has long been familiar with this kind of diplomatic activities, but he has not been tired to lie down.

And after breakfast, he will leave this place and leave the Qingqiu Fox Country.

His mission has been completed, and Changqin is relieved.

Soon, the Qingqiu Fox King will go to the Nine Shadows Kingdom as a guest.

It's just some actions of the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom, and Changqin still can't understand it.

While showing that he wanted to win him over Changqin, he was slow to tell him what he needed to do.

And Xiao Shizhu wanted Changqin to remain unchanged as planned and leave Qingqiu Fox Country on time. This made Changqin promise Xiao Shizhu, but his heart was full of incomprehension and confusion.

However, since it was an order, no matter how incomprehensible and confused Changqin was, he had to secretly puzzle in his heart, and he still carried out the task as ordered.

Changqin, who had been stunned for a long time, got up and called his entourage, washed and dressed, and went to breakfast.

His entourage, who had already had breakfast, were busy packing up, and the officials of the Qingqiu Fox Country, large and small, had to pack up their ranks after making a book.

Some of these are for Changqin, and more are dedicated to Xiao Shizhu.

The underworld, like the world, also pays attention to courtesy.

The Nine Shadows Kingdom brought a hundred carts of gifts, and even if the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom secretly calculated about it, it naturally couldn't let Changqin go home empty-handed.

Those gifts are plentiful and varied. There are patterns like a string of pearls of miscellaneous beads brocade, the pattern of the image of the big seal text brocade, there are the patterns on the brocade like the arrangement of candle lanterns listed brocade; all of them are fine brocades, which is enough to fill ten carts.

Secondly, there are hundreds of black fish with fire beads in their mouths, ancient mirrors inlaid with gold flowers and silver leaves, celebrity calligraphy and paintings in the underworld, and countless jade and bronze artifacts, all of which are exquisite workmanship and ingenious things.

These treasures are already the greatest sincerity of the Qingqiu Fox Country, and they are also full of hundreds of carts.

They will leave the Qingqiu Fox Country with the Changqin, and there will be an army of the Nine Shadows Kingdom on the border that will receive these items and send them to the Nine Shadows Kingdom.

Changqin, who had eaten breakfast, was full of energy, and when he walked to the courtyard of the post house, he saw the prince of Qingqiu Fox Country, Hu Qingping, who had already walked in and came towards him.

The fox Qingping was smiling and holding a brocade box in his hand; he had come to see him off and give gifts.

"I'm sorry, Prince Changqin. Seeing that there were no ghosts in the Nine Hidden Kingdoms near the left and right, the fox Qingping stood in front of Changqin and opened the brocade box in his hand, and first apologized: "My father is going to discuss the matter of farming in the rainy season with the minister this morning, so I can't come to see you off." I specially asked me to bring this thing as a token of his heart. ”。

Changqin said that he didn't tighten, and when he expressed his understanding, he looked down, only to see two jade cups lying in the brocade box, the cups were more than a foot wide, and the patterns on the cups were brilliant and bright.

Although the style is ordinary, mediocre, but the material is still of the highest quality, and the carving is also striving for fine, each carved pattern, is lifelike, ready to come out.

"A dust-free cup specially made by local craftsmen. When Changqin looked at the cup carefully, Hu Qingping said: "No matter how long it is idle, there will be no dust inside and outside the cup, and it will be sent to the prince to express his heart." ”。

Although the value has not been reported, it will definitely not be an ordinary thing that can be bought with three melons and two dates.

"Thank you, please thank the fox king for me. Changqin did not hesitate, took the brocade box and covered it, and then summoned his entourage and handed the box to the other party for safekeeping.

Changqin wants to be humble at this time, Xiao Shizhu will definitely scold him for being cheap and not taking advantage of the bastard.

No matter how high or low, Changqin will accept it without hesitation.

And only Changqin knew that most of these gifts would be handed over to Ah San after they arrived in the Nine Shadows Kingdom, and then sold to the Netherworld Mansion, except for the Qingqiu Fox Country, in exchange for a large amount of gold and silver, or other materials.

The entourage was still busy, and Changqin had already led Hu Qingping to the house.

When the two ghosts arrived in the house, they sat down, and a ghost servant brought hot tea and snacks.

The long piano that had just used breakfast couldn't eat anything else, so I drank some tea.

He picked up the teacup, and Hu Qingping, who was opposite, asked him: "The prince is really in a hurry to return to his hometown;

Changqin immediately showed a little reluctance on his face, and sighed: "Alas, I also want to stay for a few more days, but I want to go back to my life, and there is really no way." I'm not a prince anymore, and I have to do a lot of things according to orders. It was planned to leave your country today and return home, and that must be the case. If it is postponed for one day, it will be really troublesome to explain to the Nine Shadows Kingdom. ”。

Changqin said this on purpose, in fact, it was nothing for him to stay a few more days, but only by saying this could he appear helpless and pitiful.

This is also a means to confuse the fox Qingping and the Qingqiu Fox King.

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, the fox Qingping on the opposite side turned his fox eyes, secretly calculated in his heart, and said to Changqin: "The prince is so aggrieved, it seems that my father and I have to act quickly and persuade the King of Nine Shadows to give you the opportunity to go back and be the Fire King again." ”。

Changqin, who was on the other side, heard this, and smiled after secretly having a plan in his heart.

In the smile, there was still some helplessness, and Hu Qingping did not see the slightest joy.

Soon, Hu Qingping, who noticed this, was helpless.

Hu Qingping gave Changqin a while the iron was hot, and said: "Don't worry, the prince, my father and I will do our best to help you complete it as soon as possible, and let you soon become the Fire King again, so that you can truly return home." ”。

"Thank you very much. Thinking of Xiao Shizhu's orders and plans, Changqin did not show gratitude this time, but he also thanked Hu Qingping.

His words and deeds gave Hu Qingping an illusion, although he was grateful to the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom, but Changqin didn't believe it too much, they really had the strength to let Changqin return to his hometown again and be the king of fire again.

Hu Qingping didn't rush to prove it, but while saying that he was relieved, he took out a letter from his sleeve, handed it to Changqin, and begged him: "After the prince returns to the Nine Shadows Kingdom, transfer this letter to my uncle Hu Lan." ”。

Changqin didn't think much about it, took the letter and put it in his sleeve, and agreed to Hu Qingping without hesitation.

But at the same time, I was confused, I didn't know what Hu Qingping was going to do, and I didn't know what medicine he was selling in his gourd?

At this time, Hu Qingping suddenly leaned forward, got closer to Changqin, and said to Changqin in a low voice: "It was mentioned in the letter that my uncle secretly helped you return to your hometown. Although the prince can rest assured, as long as you and our country are of one heart and one mind in the future, and help each other in the same boat, the whole country of the fox country will go all out for your homecoming. ”。

After saying this, Hu Qingping sat up straight again and showed a mysterious smile to Changqin.

Changqin ignored his smile, belatedly showed a long-lost gratitude, hurriedly stood up, and hurriedly saluted Hu Qingping: "The kindness of the fox country to Changqin is kept in mind, if it is useful to get Changqin in the future, the fox king and the prince will not hesitate to go to the soup despite the orders." ”。

Hu Qingping is exactly what he said.

At this point, the task given to Hu Qingping by the Qingqiu Fox King has been completed.

Although this made Fox Qingping feel a little procrastinating and not very immediate, this was what the Qingqiu Fox King wanted to see.

The Changqin is the 'bane' they quietly buried in the Nine Shadows Kingdom, and the Qingqiu Fox King does not want to use the Changqin before the critical moment comes, but let the Changqin owe the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom as much as possible, and in the future, the Changqin will do its best to the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom.

When Changqin slowly straightened up, an attendant also walked in and said to Changqin, "My lord, everything has been loaded into the car, and it's time to go." ”。
