The birds are silent, but there is an elegant fragrance of flowers in the main building of Juexiang Garden, and every corner of the building is dotted with purple and verdant green.

Working in this kind of place, there is nothing to be depressed and nothing to be nervous about.

When I work in an office, I am naturally in a good mood, and the ghost mother will naturally be more efficient when I work in such a place.

But now in this building, it is not only the environment that makes the ghost mother feel better, but also the Lu Wu who flashed with fear in his eyes, and gestured to kill his mouth.

The conversation between Lu Wu and Xiao Shizhu had already been clearly heard by the ghost mother who could use two minds not far away. Knowing the husband and Mo Ruo's wife, the ghost mother didn't think much about it, and knew that Xiao Shizhu's purpose of inviting the Qingqiu Fox King was definitely not the boring purpose that Lu Wu guessed now.

Today's Xiao Shizhu, if he wants to kill a ghost, unless the target is Emperor Xudu, there is really no need to do this.

But Xiao Shizhu is so easy that he can't guess his soul, presumably Lu Wu, who can't fully guess Xiao Shizhu, at this moment in his brain, has already made up a hundred sword and axe hands ambushed behind the screen, Xiao Shizhu smashed the cup as a number, and then the fierce knife and axe hand rushed out, in front of the civil and military officials, in front of the civil and military officials, the scene of chopping the Qingqiu Fox King into meat sauce at the state banquet.

The ghost mother snickered, and Xiao Shizhu laughed a few times, directly so that Lu Wu had no chance to jump out between his lips and teeth before he could say anything.

Facing the smiles and laughter of their couple, Lu Wu was stunned for a moment, and a confused look gradually appeared on his face again.

"Lu Wu, Lu Wu, why don't I have anything to do to give him a knife to the Qingqiu Fox King. Although the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom is our vassal country, we are actually allies. Why do I have nothing to do with giving him a knife to the Qingqiu Fox King?" When the laughter still echoed on Xiao Shizhu's head, he had already said to Lu Wu: "Besides, do I need to be so careful if I want to kill him?"

"I sincerely invited him to play with him, so as to consolidate the friendly relations between the two countries. Besides, the two of us haven't met yet, so we can be regarded as taking this opportunity to meet and have a good exchange of statecraft and other issues!" Xiao Shizhu immediately sat up from the recliner, straightened his waist, and said with a pale face: "And I have the right to meet and receive the Hades of the subject country, why do I always think of wielding a butcher's knife when I have nothing to do? I am not a murderer, and I don't have the word 'perverted' engraved on my face." ”。

The ghost mother wanted to laugh even more, especially after Lu Wu, who was stunned for a moment, heard this, and suddenly realized, the ghost mother almost couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud.

After Lu Wu suddenly realized, he hurriedly nodded again and again, but in order not to mistakenly comprehend Xiao Shizhu's spiritual intentions, he still couldn't help asking: "So, my lord, you just want to receive the Qingqiu Fox King to eat, drink and have fun?"

"Otherwise, can you still play some other tricks by eating, drinking, and having fun?" Xiao Shizhu stretched his waist and lay down on the chaise longue again: "Go and prepare, make it lively, it's best to make it a national celebration, so that the ghost people can also know what iron buddies we and the Qingqiu Fox King are!"

"No, the minister will do it. Lu Wu hurriedly stood up and saluted.

"Remember, take out our sincerity to invite the Qingqiu Fox King. When he comes, he must be lively, entertain the Qingqiu Fox King well, and can't be slow. When Lu Wu saluted, Xiao Shizhu added.

"No. That Lu Wu answered again, turned around and saluted the ghost mother not far away, left the Absolute Fragrance Garden, and went to complete the task given to him by Xiao Shizhu with great interest.

He had just stepped over the threshold and walked out of the door when the ghost mother shook the bell she had picked up from the table.

When the crisp and loud bell sounded, Qing Lan, who was waiting outside the door, commanded the two palace people, pulled the heavy palace door, and slowly closed it.

The dull sound of the door shaft turning resounded inside and outside the building.

But the moment the door closed, Xiao Shizhu also closed his eyes again, lying on the chaise longue and napping.

And the ghost mother also stopped writing, stretched her waist and said to her husband: "This Lu Wu, I still can't guess you at all." You actually think that you invited the Qingqiu Fox King to come because you want to make a big move and splash blood?"

"Do you know what I'm going to do?" Hearing this, Xiao Shizhu opened one of his eyes slightly, glanced at the ghost mother who had nodded slowly, and said with a little interest: "Then you can talk about it." ”。

"You have to buy time for Julong, this is one of them, presumably after you finish talking about the purpose, Lu Wu can suddenly realize that this is the only one. The ghost mother didn't hesitate to think, so she said categorically: "You want to take this opportunity to make the Qingqiu Fox Country have no leader for the time being, the news is not well-informed, and there is no smooth communication between the monarchs and generals, and the ghost army of the Qingqiu Fox Country naturally does not dare to act rashly." Of course, if the Qingqiu Fox King doesn't come, there will also be this deterrent. He will also be busy speculating about your intentions for a short time, but he will not dare to act rashly. At least he didn't dare to move his troops until he rejected your invitation and arrived in Yuque City. ”。

"Hmm. Xiao Shizhu continued to close his eyes, and did not intervene in a hurry to interrupt the ghost mother, because what the ghost mother said was right, he did have this purpose and intention.

"But if he really has a kind and dares to come to the appointment, you will naturally treat him well. When the time comes, the whole country can see your sincerity, if the Qingqiu Fox King dares to betray our country again, it will naturally cause the crowd to be excited, then the ghost people in our country will definitely be the whole country bent on putting the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom to death. In this way, if the Qingqiu Fox King can weigh before doing things, he will not dare to do it easily. Speaking of this, the smiling ghost mother quickly put away her smile again, and her eyes suddenly became deeper when she looked at her husband: "This is the second thing that Lu Wu may not be able to think of until a few days later." What you want to do in exchange for this is not only to give Julong time, but also to make the Qingqiu Fox King infamous as a traitor and a traitor once he has any bad intentions against our country. Once the Qingqiu Fox King is really reversed, then in his life, don't even think about turning over when he dies. ”。

The corners of Xiao Shizhu's mouth were raised with a smile, and he was silent. There is no admitted, and there is no denial.

But the ghost mother had a confident face, and she knew she was right. So he paused and added: "What you want is not to kill, you want to punish your heart." ”。

"I want pork liver. Xiao Shizhu, who deliberately heard the word Zhuxin as a pig's heart, smiled and said, "I want the pig's large intestine and pig's belly, as well as pig's trotters and pig's tail." ”。

"Killing, as long as any ghost in my position wants to kill, you can kill it at any time, can you kill it all?" Then, he put away his smile and continued to close his eyes and said: "If there is no such scene, if there is no Qingqiu Fox King to come to the banquet and go back peacefully, even if we are united, when the Qingqiu Fox King instigates, the ghost people in the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom will be united with him." You know, once this happens, the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom suddenly invades, it will make our country even if it resists foreign enemies and defends properly, there will be many soldiers who shed blood and sacrifice. I don't want to punish my heart, I just want my soldiers and ghost people to die a few. ”。

"A few fewer deaths. After finishing speaking, Xiao Shizhu muttered again.

He loved his soldiers, he loved his people, and he didn't say anything contrived, nor was he putting on a show;

"It's a pity that your brother Lu Wu can only comprehend half of your intentions. After a while, the ghost mother smiled and said, "He's really not as good as Yingzhao in terms of figuring out your mind." Yingzhao can see through you better, so in addition to fighting, everything else is cautious. ”。

"So Lu Wu can be my heavenly official, and be the chief of the hundred officials of the prime minister and the hundred politics around me. Xiao Shizhu smiled again, and seemed to be in a much better mood: "I don't have to worry about using such a ghost as a heavenly official, even if he is a gang, he will not have the ambition and courage to oppose me, not to mention that we are brothers who worship the son, he doesn't harm me, so why should he guess me." Speaking of speculation, he can guess half of my thoughts, which is already good, and the situation is very smooth. In this way, thousands of institutions in our country can operate normally day after day, year after year. ”。

"But he Lu Wu is still greedy for money, you give him the right to fish for law enforcement, and he uses his position to fish for those officials who pay bribes for you. But the money he handed over was two-thirds of the dirty money of the bribes, and a third of it went into his own pocket. The ghost mother simply took advantage of this to take a break, followed Xiao Shizhu's words, and chatted with her husband: "You are also clear about this." ”。

Anyway, there were no outsiders in the building at this time, and the ghost mother simply said some more sensitive things as a talking point, which could be regarded as an exchange of statecraft with her husband.

"Ha, that money is nothing. When the water is clear, there are no fish, and even if I am the son of God, I can't kill the sins of the world, and that's not what I say I can completely control. Xiao Shizhu smiled again, bent his right leg on the recliner flatly, and said slowly meaningfully: "A corrupt official who secretly takes money, like Lu Wu, as long as he doesn't take too much money and doesn't take money to do things for the court, why not keep him to make the best use of it?" ......

When Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother were discussing those issues of governing the country, Julong, who was far away in Dongyingzhou, stood at the foot of the southern foot of the mountain in a hat and a cloak and commanded the craftsmen to start work.

As far as the eye can see, in the southern foot of the mountain shrouded in rain and mist, many trees, even if they are towering ancient trees that have lived for thousands of years, have been cut down by the craftsmen and the nine ghost soldiers dispatched by Julong in the past few days.

The rain fell to the ground, soaked the mud in the mountain, and then gathered into streams of muddy water, large and small, and washed down the hillside with the mountain soil.

Soon, some of the hard rocks under the soil layer on the slopes were exposed.

This was just a preliminary preparation for him to build an impregnable pass here. Of course, Julong was not stupid enough to cut down all the trees in the mountain.

He will cut wood wherever he wants to work. And it will cut down an open field with a diameter of several zhang or even dozens of zhang around, without a single tree or grass.

Those places are the places where fortresses will be built in the future.

Under his command, the stonemasons in the mountains turned the rocking handle of the object in their hands in the rain, and the tip of the object was against the rock, which was more than a foot long, and the three-edged pagoda drill bit made of diamond flew up.

The gravel was splashed, and the stone pits gradually appeared when the drill bit burst out with sparks.

The infrastructure of the Nine Shadows Kingdom can develop so rapidly and spread all over the country because the craftsmen under Julong have a variety of practical tools in their hands.

And these tools come from the Nine Shadows Kingdom Weapons Supervision, a department specializing in the development and manufacture of tools.

Many of them are still made by the demon gods in those stone books left in the Yuque Palace, and the demon god tools recorded in them are improved.

It is undeniable that they make Julong not afraid of the hard bluestone under the soil layer of the mountain.
