The light of the cloudy sun passed through the light clouds floating above the Yuque Palace, and shone into the sinkhole where the Yuque Palace was located along the mouth of the sinkhole, and shone on the palace composed of all kinds of jade carved into bricks, tiles, beams and columns, etc., reflecting colorful different lights, dazzling people's eyes.

On the side hall of Tianyang Palace, the tengu big flower walked in, caught the big stick and bone of a beast soul that Xiao Shizhu threw to it, and went out happily to find a secluded place to gnaw.

After Xiao Shizhu filled the ghost mother with a bowl of hot soup, he said slowly: "I did expect it, and I also received a letter and report, saying that the peace talks are about to end, so you guessed half right." In the morning, I took time to go to the toilet in the Tianquan Palace, and when I came back, I received a message from Yingzhao. As for why he expected it, it was because Tanuki Tianying and Loess fought a big victory, which was tantamount to giving the Beiyin Dynasty an aggravating situation. ”。

The ghost mother around her listened patiently, and forgot to continue eating. After Xiao Shizhu finished speaking, he said thoughtfully: "External pressure can indeed make the Northern Yin Dynasty, which is now stormy and staggering, have to succumb." However, the premise is what we have guessed and discussed before, and the premise is that the Northern Yin Dynasty is now also in urgent need of time to prepare for the final war. If this were not the case, the foundation of the Northern Yin Dynasty would still be there, and it would not succumb. ”。

"Well, I know that, too. Xiao Shizhu nodded, picked up the chopsticks and put a few pieces of the ghost mother's favorite side dishes and meat on the ghost mother's plate, and then said: "The second is that I expect that this peace talks will end as soon as possible, and neither the capital nor the Northern Yin Dynasty will bargain again, including the matter of the feudal marquis, and they will not take it out again." As for disarmament, then I won't listen to him, and Emperor Xudu himself knows that it's boring to insist on holding on, so naturally I won't mention it again. ”。

"And. Xiao Shizhu also took a sip of soup himself, and after moistening his throat, he said to the ghost mother: "As soon as I came up, I asked for the 50,000 taels of gold from the Beiyin Dynasty, and it won't take long to get it." When the time comes, my treasury will naturally be full. With this money, we can do so much more. It's worth a lot more than those banknotes. Just like this kind of hard currency. ”。

As he said this, he looked in front of him, and the light of the cloudy sun that came into his eyes seemed to have become the cold golden light emitted by the gold.

"Money junkies. The ghost mother looked at her husband before mentioning money, Xiao Shizhu's face was radiant, her eyes were golden, and she couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile and scold.

In fact, like Xiao Shizhu, he is also happy in his heart. Even if the money hasn't been sent yet, it's almost over. As long as the peace talks are over, the money will be sent quickly, and it is not a big deal to be happy in advance.

The key is that it is the first time that the ghost mother has seen the Northern Yin Dynasty, which once dominated the underworld, and she has begun to give up her dignity and begin to pay compensation to the enemy.

This is probably the biggest shame since the founding of the Beiyin Dynasty. The ghost mother can imagine how ugly the face of the Emperor Xudu holding his breath and smiling is so ugly.

Even if future historians will write today's actions as the atrocities of tyrants, Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother don't care.

They all knew that if kindness and righteousness were used against their enemies, they would only cause their demons to die more. In the face of the tyranny of the Northern Yin Dynasty, violence can only be countered by violence.

Later generations of historians can write whatever they like.

"Yes, I'm a money junkie. Xiao Shizhu laughed, continued to pick up the rice bowl, and ate: "I'm proud of this." ”。

"By the way, you said last time, how many treasures are there in the Xudu Mountain?" After not eating a few bites, Xiao Shizhu suddenly asked again.

The matter of the throne of the ancient gods was learned from the ghost mother.

"There is no end, and when I left the capital, half of the mountain was used for treasures. The ghost mother thought about it for a moment and said, "Most of them are the treasures and things in the Six Heavens Gods and Ghost Palaces left over from the ancient god era. ”。

In retrospect, the dazzling jewels emitted by the treasures piled up in the Luo Yu Mountain can still amaze the ghost mother.

"Well, the first thing I did after I drank the Ma Lechuan River and rode my shadow into the capital was to see the treasures of this mountain. Xiao Shizhu thought for a while and said, "I want to see how magnificent so many treasures are." ”。

"Okay, when the time comes, you can go and see, but don't take your eyes off it. The ghost mother smiled and said.

Immediately afterwards, she changed the topic and asked, "By the way, have you seen the "Nine Shadows King Benji" written by your historian? ”。

"I didn't have time. It's not a good book, and it's definitely a third of it, and it's used to scold me. Xiao Shizhu, who was very self-aware, smiled disapprovingly and said, "Let's watch it when I'm free." ”......

Qingqiu Fox Country, more than two hundred miles east of the capital, in the mountains and forests, there is a Qingqiu Fox King Palace. The palace building between the mountains and forests is surrounded by mountains and rivers, pavilions and pavilions are lined up one after another, surrounded by walls, and green pines and green forests stand in the middle.

Whenever the grass grows and the warbler flies, and the peaks are stacked and green, the Qingqiu Fox King takes the harem beauties with him and comes here to play for more than ten days, and by the way, he also moves the office here.

And the central warm pavilion in the palace, there is a jade lotus holding the soup spring in the pavilion, spraying into a pool. The warm soup in the pool is smooth and clear, and the atmosphere is hot.

As soon as the Qingqiu Fox King arrives here, he likes to go to the pool to bubble when he has nothing to do.

The sky was cloudy, and although it was raining, it was also dark. The rainy season has arrived in Dongyingzhou, and it is difficult to see good sunny weather. Because of the cool weather, the Qingqiu Fox King, who moved to the other palace, entered the warm pavilion again, took off the brocade and jade belt, and after bathing his whole body with the help of the palace slave, he stepped into the pool and sat down, letting the hot spring in the pool soak all his body under his neck.

In the rising heat, the hot water in the pool made the Qingqiu Fox King look comfortable, and the warm current dipped under the fur, and after flowing all over the body, he made a comfortable soft sound in the mist**.

The palace slaves in the warm pavilion retreated, and after a while, a wooden plate came from the back and was placed in the soup pool, letting the wooden plate drift with the tide and float in front of the Qingqiu Fox King.

The wooden plate held the wine that had just been hot, and some roast meat from the beast spirits.

The Qingqiu Fox King, who was soaking in the hot spring soup, slowly raised his hand, picked up the wine cup on the wooden plate, and took a sip of the mellow wine in the wine cup, and his face was more comfortable.

Speaking of which, this Qingqiu Fox King will enjoy it more than Xiao Shizhu, and even more than Emperor Xudu. is obviously just a Hades King, but he lives a better life than the Emperor Xudu.

In the past, there were too many Hades kings like the Qingqiu Fox King in the Netherworld, so under the tyranny of the Northern Yin Dynasty, they still loyally obeyed the decrees of the imperial court, paid tribute to the imperial court every year, and even spared the lives of their own people, and willingly sent troops to the Northern Yin Dynasty.

And from the past to the present, the Qingqiu Fox King naturally did not spend less money on his own enjoyment. Of course, he did not dare to do this openly, and in front of the people, he had to show diligence, frugality, and simplicity; Often, when there is no money, I will find a few rich businessmen in the country, find a crime to force those rich businessmen to death, confiscate their family property, and then, claiming that it is included in the national treasury, but in fact take it for myself.

Over the past few thousand years, the Qingqiu Fox King has done this many times. More and more practice makes perfect.

And it has not been discovered by the ghost people in the country, and the Qingqiu Fox King is even more secretly complacent. This kind of despicable way that will be scolded will be spitted on more and more, and it is the same as being addicted, and you can't quit it.

As long as there is no money, the Qingqiu Fox King will immediately use this trick.

That's why his palaces are all resplendent and majestic. Except for the slightly smaller scale, the materials used are extremely luxurious and sophisticated. They are all gold bricks and jade tiles, beams and columns made of thousand-year-old pine, and so on.

In order to prevent the ghosts and people in the country from discovering it, there are military camps within a radius of fifty miles from the palace, and idlers are not allowed to approach. Lush trees were planted to shade the jewels emanating from the palace.

Extravagant.

At this moment, the Qingqiu Fox King, who was soaking in the hot spring and drinking a little wine, was leisurely eating the barbecue on the wooden plate, so uncomfortable and comfortable.

My whole body was in the hot soup, and I relaxed a little bit. The appetite is also slowly satisfied in the process of drinking wine and eating meat.

The comfort on his face is getting heavier and heavier.

When he was enjoying himself, behind the screen in front of him, there was a report from the palace slave in his palace: "King, the secret envoy asks to see." ”。

The Qingqiu Fox State has a position, which is equivalent to the Xuanjiao disciples of the Nine Shadows Kingdom. In terms of business ability, he may not be as good as the Xuanjiao disciples of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, but his functions are exactly the same, and he is also a spy who inquires about news.

At the same time, he also serves part-time as a messenger dedicated to the Qingqiu Fox King.

I don't know if I take one salary to do two jobs, but these secret envoys of the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom are none other than Hu Lan, who is far away in Yuque City, the younger brother of the Qingqiu Fox King.

Xiao Shizhu had already secretly known about this, but the Qingqiu Fox King didn't know it yet.

As soon as he heard that the secret envoy was coming, the Qingqiu Fox King became more energetic, and immediately said loudly: "Xuan." ”。

The palace slave behind the screen replied and turned to leave.

Outside the pavilion, the wind rose, the tiger roared, the dark clouds in the sky hung low, and the rain poured down from the sky. Accompanied by dazzling and fleeting lightning, and roaring thunder.

After a while, a ghost shadow floated into the warm pavilion, stopped behind the screen, knelt down, kowtowed to the Qingqiu Fox King in the pool through the screen, and said, "Meet the king." ”。

"What's the matter?" In the steaming heat, the Qingqiu Fox King closed his eyes slightly, and his face was still comfortable in the heat.

He didn't know what the secret envoy was going to say when he came to ask for a meeting, so naturally he didn't care too much.

The secret envoy who knelt behind the screen still didn't get up, nor did he bypass the screen, but still replied to the Qingqiu Fox King through the screen: "The port reported that the Nine Shadows Kingdom sent another batch of three-eyed god guns, but this time they said that the war in the country has only passed, and there are not too many ** and iron sand, let us buy it ourselves." ”。

"Hmm. In the soup pool behind the screen, the Qingqiu Fox King was still indifferent after hearing this, and he didn't pay attention to it.

This information, in the eyes of the Qingqiu Fox King, has no clues and anomalies, it is just that the Nine Shadows Kingdom is routinely equipping him with firearms for the army.

Now that he has arrived, the Qingqiu Fox King has nothing to say.

As for ** and iron sand, his Qingqiu Fox Country still has plenty of reserves. Enough for all of his armies, so he didn't have to worry about it at all.

Naturally, I won't think about it, why did the Nine Shadows Kingdom send weapons, but there is no ** and iron sand.

No matter how shrewd the Qingqiu Fox King is, he can't do everything, otherwise he would have already dominated it. Why wait until the Northern Yin Dynasty secretly sent him to sue for peace?

"In addition, the Xudu side sent birds and sent a secret letter. Immediately afterward, the secret agent separated by a screen continued to say to the Qingqiu Fox King: "The Northern Yin Dynasty is already preparing the Netherworld Ghost Cannon and cannonballs, and is ready to send them to us. However, considering that most of the Qinglong Sea has been controlled by the sailors of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, it can only be transshipped through Fenglin Continent or Kunlun Continent. It may take some time. ”。

When the Qingqiu Fox King heard this, he just snorted. As always, I did not express any personal opinions or suggestions.

But his heart was still excited, and the support of the Northern Yin Dynasty that he had been waiting for was about to come. With the Nether Ghost Cannon, he can at least compete with the army of the Nine Nether Kingdoms in the familiar Dongying Continent. After receiving more support, he drove the army of the Nine Shadows Kingdom out of Dongying Continent.

"But there are still conditions. In the flash of light, the Qingqiu Fox King, who had thought about it, thought of this layer and immediately blurted out.

The secret envoy of the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom who knelt behind the screen nodded and said, "Send a ghost envoy to reply that the Northern Yin Dynasty has asked me to go to war with the Nine Shadows Kingdom immediately after the rainy season." ”。

As he spoke, a look of worry appeared on his face.

There are still many innocent ghost people in the Qingqiu Fox Country, who are doing business in the Nine Shadows Country.

If there was a sudden war, then how these innocent ghost people would be dealt with by the Nine Shadows Kingdom, the secret envoy didn't dare to imagine.

Paying back blood debts has always been the style of the army of the Nine Shadows Kingdom. Once the war starts, the Qingqiu Fox Country stranded in the Nine Shadows Country may not end well.

Of course, it also includes Hu Lan, the younger brother of the Qingqiu Fox King.

But the Qingqiu Fox King didn't care, and directly hummed and said, "Secretly ruling the military commanders, be ready to fight." ”。

His younger brother is still in the Nine Shadows Kingdom, but so what? Just send Hu Lan back with a secret message before the war. As for the other ghost people, the Qingqiu Fox King had no intention of caring about it at all.

He would let the Nine Shadows deal with those ghost people, and in his opinion, it was just a sacrifice that had to be paid for victory.

"No. The envoy behind the screen gritted his teeth, and the king's order was disobeyed, but he agreed.

"By the way, is there anything unusual on the other side of the Nine Shadows Kingdom recently?"

He had to grasp the situation in the Nine Shadows Kingdom and adjust his plans, after all, the rainy season had only just begun, and it was still far from over.

The secret envoy behind the screen was silent, and after thinking for a long time, he slowly replied: "There is nothing unusual, our ghost is still secretly reselling ore and has not been discovered. As for Lord Hulan, he is still very safe, but Tu Yaoqing has already been imprisoned. But she is her, she fell and killed Xiao Shizhu's daughter, so she naturally has to be responsible for herself. ”。

"That's good. The Qingqiu Fox King thought about it, bowed his head slightly, and felt relieved.

Since there is nothing unusual in the Nine Shadows Kingdom, the Qingqiu Fox King thinks that everything he does is still impenetrable. Then he can rest assured to prepare, after the rainy season, he and the army of the Nine Shadows Kingdom in the Dongying Continent will turn his face and start a war.

As for Tu Yaoqing, when Tu Gongqi was dedicated to the Qingqiu Fox King at the beginning and used it to win over the Nine Shadows Kingdom, he was already destined to be a dispensable outcast.

Now, Tu Yaoqing has not only completed his mission, but also killed Xiao Shizhu's daughter out of necessity, but he has done a great job in the Qingqiu Fox Country.

"It is said that the whole country of Jiuyou has focused their attention on how to negotiate peace with the Northern Yin Dynasty and how to deal with Tu Yaoqing's affairs. The secret envoy who paused for a moment said: "The ghost mother also specially held a public trial for Tu Yaoqing's crime, but she didn't mention that she wanted to implicate our Qingqiu Fox Country." Even Tu Yaoqing's son, Xiao Fulei, has been spared. ”。
