In the palace of the Qingqiu Fox King, there was laughter.

The concubines he brought were still playing in the palace even when it rained. The sound of the rain falling on the ground became a little cheerful in their laughter.

The cheerful laughter like silver bells came and went in the rain, and sometimes it could be heard in the warm pavilion.

In the warm pavilion, after listening to the words of the secret envoy, the Qingqiu Fox King was in a good mood, laughed, and said: "It is said that although Xiao Shizhu, the king of the Nine Shadows, was born in a dog prison and has a humble identity, he is the smartest human soul, but he actually didn't use this as an excuse to sit on the head of our country, that is stupid." Such a stupid person still wants to dominate the underworld, and he is a fool who dreams about it. ”。

On his face, ridicule and contempt for Xiao Shizhu appeared, which was really ugly. For Xiao Shizhu, there is no more awe, but a little more contempt.

At the same time, he was secretly happy in his heart, and he was also glad that he did not hesitate at the beginning, so he listened to his younger brother Hu Lan's advice not to worry about Tu Yaoqing's 'idle' affairs.

In Hu Lan's secret letter to him, it was mentioned that Xiao Shizhu was a king of the underworld with clear rewards and punishments, and when dealing with the ghosts in the country, and even his own enemies, although he would repay the debts with blood, he generally did not kill innocents indiscriminately, and he did not like to sit together, so that in the law of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, it was the only law in the Netherworld that did not sit together, so it was called justice by the ghosts of the Nine Shadows Kingdom. Hu Lan also mentioned that if the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom did not argue for Tu Yaoqing, Xiao Shizhu would never be angry and implicated in the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom.

Hu Lan believes that as long as the Qingqiu Fox King shows that it is good to enjoy the shade under the big tree, for the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom, he will be able to get a chance to be spared. Moreover, the alliance between the Nine Shadows Kingdom and the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom can continue, and it will not tear the skin apart.

Xiao Shizhu, the king of the Nine Shadows, will definitely not come to anger the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom.

The implication is that in this way, the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom can be in peace and quiet, and do more small actions to be sorry for the Nine Shadows Kingdom, as long as the real evidence is not exposed, it doesn't matter.

Now in the eyes of the Qingqiu Fox King, his younger brother Hu Lan's judgment is accurate, and it can even be said to be accurate. On second thought, there were rumors that Tu Yaoqing's actions were instigated by Hu Qingyun, the son of Hu Lan.

Now it seems that Hu Lan is such a shrewd fox ghost, scheming, and actually let his son do nonsense, it seems that he has premeditated and indulged his son to do this.

This helped the Qingqiu Fox King, so that the Qingqiu Fox King and the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom were behind the Nine Shadows Kingdom, and those small actions and betrayals in secret would not attract the attention of the Nine Shadows Kingdom.

But it was self-defeating and helped the Qingqiu Fox King and the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom a lot.

Now, the Northern Yin Dynasty has asked the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom to prepare for war with the Nine Shadows Kingdom, and Tu Yaoqing's handling is imminent, so the Nine Shadows Kingdom will naturally not pay attention to this side.

The Qingqiu Fox King was also overjoyed by this, so much so that he became excited, and his heartbeat accelerated.

"It's good that there is nothing unusual, go and order the military ministers in the capital to rush to the palace tonight to discuss secretly. The Qingqiu Fox King, who stood up from the pool, clapped his hands.

The water droplets on his body fell to the ground continuously, and the sound of rattling also sounded in applause.

When the applause rang out, a palace slave walked in quickly, holding a towel in his hand, and began to carefully wipe the body of the Qingqiu fox king who walked out of the pool.

"Immediately send someone to the Nine Shadows Kingdom to find my brother secretly, so that he can not defend Tu Yaoqing, but pay close attention to how the Nine Shadows Kingdom deals with Tu Yaoqing, and report it in time. The Qingqiu Fox King said to the secret envoy behind the screen while letting the palace slave wipe his body.

In his tone, there was a sense of pride.

They all made a mistake that Xiao Shizhu used to be an enemy - that is, they underestimated Xiao Shizhu, couldn't guess Xiao Shizhu, and were still self-righteous and complacent.

"No. The envoy kowtowed, got up, and withdrew......

The night fell with the cloudy eastward generals, the centipede beads in the Yuque Palace, and the Jiaozhu lit up.

The palace people lit the palace lamps that still needed oil, one by one. The entire Yuque Palace lit up, and under the brilliant lights, the buildings in the palace shone brightly.

The soft glow of the jade makes the splendor of this palace unmistakable under the lights.

The Moon Wall Palace in the inner courtyard, Lai Yueqi's dormitory, is still the same as in the past, full of lush laurels. Although it is a flower, it is well maintained, adding scenery to the Moon Wall Palace.

And the majestic front hall in the palace is full of Lai Yueqi's drawings and research weapons. There are so many semi-finished products that sometimes there is no place to put their feet when they are piled up too much.

The whole front hall has always been cluttered, and there is a lot to be done.

Once upon a time, the blueprints and samples of firearms that showed their might on the battlefield in the Nine Shadows Kingdom were all from here. Then it was mass-produced and equipped with Xiao Shizhu's warriors of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, so that the ghost soldiers were invincible and indomitable on the battlefield.

But because most of the weapons stacked are almost firearms that are still in the experimental stage, the danger factor is too high, and the potential danger is unpredictable, so Xiao Shizhu once joked: Sleeping in Lai Yueqi Palace, I had to keep one eye open.

Otherwise, I can't tell when, and I will die in the explosion.

Of course, this is just a joke, the walls and beams of the palace are carved with enchantment sigils. Even if it explodes, the shock wave and flames from the explosion will not break out of the barrier.

Unless Xiao Shizhu is inside, he will be affected by the explosion, but with his mysterious power, he will never be torn apart by the explosion.

And the apse is not dangerous, it is the dormitory where Lai Yueqi rested in the past and slept with Xiao Shizhu, so naturally there could be no firearms stacked. Dormitory Huanglong jade tile mountain style top, eaves corner An beast five, under the eaves to apply a single warped single ang five step on the bucket, under the pedestal set up a pair of jade carved into the Luan bird and a pair of mighty and domineering unicorns, surrounded by the pond, lead the mountain jade mountain spring water around the four directions. The exterior of the whole courtyard is decorated with a quaint and quiet environment.

As for the interior decoration, it is exquisite and gorgeous. After all, it is also Lai Yueqi's bedroom, which is not dilapidated or shabby. Behind the main room is the throne of jade carving, on the platform where the throne is placed, the whole piece of purple jade carved and inlaid with the word longevity mirror heart screen, the throne in front of the screen, there are incense tables, palace fans, incense tubes and other things, all of which are carved from jade or gemstones, and the ancient gods have been left behind in the era of the ancient gods.

At this point, even Xiao Shizhu thanked Emperor Xudu for his special instructions to work together, and these utensils in the Yuque Palace can be used, but they must not be resold or given away. Otherwise, it is impossible to keep these utensils to this day, and it is cheaper than Xiao Shizhu.

Xiao Shizhu, who did not refuse Xiangyuan tonight, came here in the evening, and even used dinner here, and the food was still so simple, but there was nothing special.

After eating, he played with Dahua and the black monkey in the garden for a while, and the big flower returned to the Juexiang Garden by himself, and the black monkey stayed here, and Xiao Shizhu came to the dormitory after Lai Yueqi personally served him to bathe and change clothes.

Xiao Shizhu was dressed in a bed robe embroidered with the Thousand Autumn Beast and the Long Live Beast on his shoulders, paced to the main hall of the main hall, sat on the throne, stretched his waist comfortably, and also went to take it seriously, and after carefully bathing Lai Yueqi walked over.

The palace maid at the door closed the palace door, and the black monkey also went to find a tree outside the main hall and climbed it to sleep; only Xiao Shizhu and Lai Yueqi were left in the front hall.

And the palace maids and palace people outside never paid attention to the main hall, but to the black monkeys sleeping on the trees. They were all whispering, talking about the strange ghost that Xiao Shizhu brought back from the Yellow Spring, and the black monkey who liked to sleep comfortably on the branches of the tree and slept steadily.

In the brightly lit dormitory, Lai Yueqi wore her hair, walked to Xiao Shizhu's side, and slowly made a thousand blessings, saying: "It's good that the king can come back safely from the Yellow Spring, and the concubine has always believed that the king will be able to come back safely." ”。

"yes, it's good that I'm back. Xiao Shizhu didn't want to mention this matter, so he stood up after answering casually, looked around, and changed the topic: "Your furnishings here haven't changed, they are still the same as before." ”。

As he spoke, he walked over to the bed.

"The kings are all diligent and thrifty, and so is the ** sister, things that can be used will never be replaced, and the concubines are naturally the same, and there must be no exceptions. Lai Yueqi said this and followed.

Xiao Shizhu had already sat on the bed, using one hundred and twenty looms, and it took sixty days to weave a loose flower silk futon, Lai Yueqi squatted in front of him and helped him take off his shoes.

Including these bedding, they are also left over from the era of the old gods. Although it is worth 10,000 gold, for Xiao Shizhu, the current holder, it is equivalent to getting it for nothing, and he didn't spend a penny anyway.

Xiao Shizhu, who took off his shoes, untied his belt and threw it aside, turned over, lay down on the bed, looked at the top of the tent and said slowly: "The furnishings remain the same, but there is nothing, but you are not happy when you see me? As my little daughter-in-law, you said that you haven't seen me for more than half a year, and you still have an official tone with me, smirking." ”。

As soon as these words came out, Lai Yueqi, who had already climbed onto the bed, was stunned.

Then after she also lay down beside Xiao Shizhu, she hurriedly explained: "King, the concubine must be very happy to see you. I wonder why the king said this?".

"You tell me some vernacular, I've been playing this official tone all night, and I'm tired of listening to it. Xiao Shizhu shouted, startling Lai Yueqi.

And Xiao Shizhu's words were just out, and he immediately regretted it.

He was a little upset in order to think about how to explain Tu Yaoqing to Lai Yueqi, and blurted out without thinking, which was a little hurtful.

However, he did get a little annoyed with the official tone. also know why Lai Yueqi treated him like this?

It's not because when Lai Yueqi needed Xiao Shizhu, he was far away in Huangquan, and Lai Yueqi was a little angry.

Xiao Shizhu, who thought of this, hurriedly reached out and hugged Lai Yueqi's shoulder beside him, patted it gently, and said, "I'm sorry, I'm too tired these days, and I'm a little angry." In this way, tomorrow I will ask the ghost doctors in the ghost doctor genus to come for a consultation, and then prescribe some medicine to me to remove the fire, and I want the kind of medicine that will produce immediate results as soon as I eat it. If you really can't wait for tomorrow, why don't you clean up for me in a while, clean up well, and I can also go to the fire for me. ”。

After that, he laughed a little obscenely.

The dignified Nine Shadow Kings, in addition to the biggest overlord of the Emperor Xudu in the underworld, would actually make this kind of joke with a bit of meat, if Lai Yueqi hadn't known him for a long time, he would really be shocked.

But Lai Yueqi still heard this, and finally laughed.

This is the most natural and happiest smile she had after seeing Xiao Shizhu today.

Seeing her smile like this, Xiao Shizhu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This is the king of Hades, when facing his wife, Xiao Shizhu is actually no different from ordinary male ghosts. He can't use those political means to political his wives, and it's not a big mistake for them to be so angry.

It is because of this that Xiao Shizhu is reluctant to have three palaces and six courtyards, and three thousand fans. Otherwise, he will not only become a tired cow, but also be annoyed to death.

Then Lai Yueqi turned over slightly, lay on Xiao Shizhu's chest and hugged Xiao Shizhu, and said mischievously: "The concubines don't dare to clean up the king, otherwise tomorrow morning, the ghost mother and sister, the ministers and hundreds of officials and concubines will be dignitaries, what should I do if I can't hand them over." I'm afraid that the folk poets will also write a poem like the one in the world, 'From now on, the king will not be early' to scold the concubines. ”。

changed his previous attitude, and became so bird-like, the same as before, and became gentle.

"Do they dare to write?" Xiao Shizhu laughed heartily and asked triumphantly.

"Besides, why didn't I go to court sooner. In the palace, not only do I have a morning pilgrimage, but sometimes a noon pilgrimage. Write me, can those poets write?" After a pause, Xiao Shizhu said in a tricky manner: "Besides, I am only a king, not a king." ”。

After that, Xiao Shizhu was even more proud, and couldn't help but smile.

Then, Xiao Shizhu smiled and picked up a strand of Lai Yueqi's hair, put it under his nose and sniffed the faint floral fragrance emanating from the hair;

Lai Yueqi has always had the habit of bathing with laurel petals, as long as she bathes, there is this fragrance in her hair, which is light but not strong, but it does not disgust Xiao Shizhu.

"Well, it's been a long time since I've smelled it. Then, Xiao Shizhu, who was relaxed, sighed, and said, "I heard that Xiao Fuling's stinky girl recognized you as her godmother?

Under the soft light emitted from the palace lamp, Lai Yueqi sat up and slowly put down the hanging gauze tent. Everything on the bed was all sorts of tulle, hazy, and couldn't be seen clearly.

"Well, Poria is a very good child, I envy the ghost mother and sister, there is such a good child. Lai Yueqi continued to hug her husband Xiao Shizhu and said softly: "Not only did she not cause me trouble, but she also helped me a lot." ”。

Speaking of Xiao Fuling, Lai Yueqi's eyes flashed with love.

She really treats Xiao Lingling as her own.

"That's good, I'm afraid that she will be immature, so I let her go to the Howling Wind Plains to exercise. When Xiao Shizhu heard this, he believed Lai Yueqi. At the same time, I was relieved.

"Hmm. Lai Yueqi lay in his arms and put her head on his chest.

"By the way, in addition to missing you so much, I also want to have a deep talk with you today. Xiao Shizhu was silent for a moment, thinking that it was really not a way to escape, so he had to get back to the point and get down to business: "We have to talk about Tu Yaoqing's handling of the matter, tomorrow morning, the palace envoy will go out of the palace to issue an edict, so, the night is long, it is better for us to make this matter clear tonight." ”。

As he spoke, Xiao Shizhu already felt Lai Yueqi tremble in his arms. But he didn't see that when he said Tu Yaoqing, Lai Yueqi's eyes flashed with resentment and malice.

If the Nine Shadows Kingdom was not a ghost country that talked about the law, Lai Yueqi would be eager to use firearms to split the corpses of Tu Yaoqing's five horses and blow them to pieces.

Immediately afterwards, Lai Yueqi gritted her teeth and asked, "What does the king want to do with this poisonous woman?"
