[270] Tricksters
"If I'm not mistaken, the Law of the Great Underworld stipulates that the blatant assassination of princes loyal to the Northern Yin Dynasty will be torn apart. Xiao Shizhu closed his eyes slightly, ignoring his ghost's consternation, and snorted coldly: "Then let's have a good time with Emperor Xudu, and have a good time with this "Great Underworld Law"!".
Xiao Shizhu's sudden decision seemed impulsive, but in fact, when he got the wooden card, he had already thought it through in his mind.
It is true that it is true that the mastermind behind the scenes is indeed the king of Chujiang, but without the permission of the Emperor Xudu, a dignified king of Hades, no matter how powerful and powerful, does not dare to make a move to assassinate the princes of one side.
Xiao Shizhu had already determined that this matter was also inextricably linked with Emperor Xudu, but Emperor Xudu was worried that something would not work out, so he forced him to rebel, so he simply pushed out the King of Chujiang and made him appear in the dark.
And Xiao Shizhu had already learned through Lin Cong that this King of Chujiang was the ink master lurking in the capital. And the Mo family is no longer the first faction of the underworld that fights unevenly in the world, and the Mo family in the underworld has become selfish and unscrupulous in order to achieve the goal.
If such an underworld continues to exist, even if Xiao Shizhu dominates the underworld, the other party will become the most difficult dark arrow to deal with under his rule. It is better to take advantage of this to use the hands of Emperor Xudu to clean them up.
In the past, he had been thinking about how to clean up the King of Chujiang, who was the ink man, and he had never had a chance; after all, it was okay to tell Mo Zhai, who was a grass man and a fugitive, but King Chu Jiang was one of Emperor Xudu's henchmen, and then using the means of informing, not to mention the poor effect, it was easy to make the suspicious Emperor Xudu suspect that he was sowing discord, and it was worth the loss.
So there is a stalemate between the two sides!
Now that he has such a good opportunity in front of him, how can Xiao Shizhu not use it? It would be fine if he died at the hands of the assassins, but he is not dead, and Xiao Shizhu, who has never done useless work, can take advantage of this opportunity to break the deadlock.
Since Emperor Xudu likes to be like a shadow puppet puppet manipulator, hiding in the shadows to overtake other ghosts to die for him, then Xiao Shizhu sent these evidence assassins to Xudu, so that Emperor Xudu could judge this public case well.
In order to ensure his tall image, he could only abandon the pawn to protect the car and behead the puppet King of Chujiang.
But although the plan is good, there is still a key point missing, that is, to build momentum!
"We only keep one copy of the rest of the confessions, and we must keep them under strict guard. Xiao Shizhu pondered for a moment, and after smiling gloomily, he said coldly: "Other batch printing will be spread all over the country first, arousing the people's anger against King Chujiang. The rest of the merchants under Ah San's command were taken out of the country and spread to the continents of the underworld. But remember, we only denounce the King of Chujiang, and we can't bring in the Emperor Xudu. ”。
Xiao Shizhu, who has been in the world, knows what is called a war of public opinion. Only by taking the opportunity to speak, seizing the moral high ground, and then using the offensive of public opinion, to shape the already heinous King of Chujiang into a careerist who dares to deceive his superiors and subordinates, and without the permission of Emperor Xudu, he will be bold enough to dare to assassinate Xiao Shizhu privately, and he will naturally force Emperor Xudu into a corner, and he must kill King Chujiang.
Hearing this, the ghost mother, who was also not stupid, also had an epiphany of the profound meaning of Xiao Shizhu's plan; this plan could not only make Emperor Xudu lose a right-hand man, but also make Mo Zhai lose a right-hand man.
"Wu Qiu Shou, do you remember to tell Ah San's businessmen that they must spread the news that the Nine Shadows Kingdom is begging the Emperor of Xudu to be the master, packaging us as the image of the weak. The ghost mother bit her lip and was silent for a moment before adding, perfecting Xiao Shizhu's plan: "In addition, the physical evidence and assassins can only be handed over to the King of Yama first, not directly to the Emperor Xudu. ”。
Xiao Shizhu nodded in agreement: "Yes." ”。
Wu Qiu Shou didn't go into the bottom of why this was the case, but after pondering for a long time, he also felt that the plan was feasible, he got up and saluted, said a word, turned around and left to do something.
Looking at the departing figure of Wu Qiu Shou and disappearing at the door, Xiao Shizhu turned his head to look at the ghost mother and asked with a little worry: "When you hand over these physical evidence and assassins to the King of Yama, do you need to send some money together?"
The ghost mother shook her head, smiled indifferently, and said meaningfully: "No need, although the king of Yama is also powerful and deeply trusted, he is fair and selfless, and it is best to leave this kind of matter to him to deal with." ”。
There was a gust of breeze outside the Juexiang Garden, and Xiao Shizhu felt refreshed through the door, he didn't say much, just got up silently, and slowly walked towards Xiao Fuling, who had leaned on the belly of the big flower and slept soundly......
To the east of the Xiaofeng Plain, in the Huangmi City, the capital of the Jiyu Kingdom, which is long and narrow from north to south, the royal palace made of stone bricks carved from obsidian is extremely lively today.
It was only because of the majestic Nine Shadows Kingdom that had to bow its head under their attack and sent envoys to negotiate peace, which made the whole Ji Yu Kingdom full of pride.
Since the surrender of the Three-Body King, the territory of the Nine Shadows Kingdom on the Howling Wind Plain has become a T-shape. Although it successfully cut off the communication between Ji Yu Kingdom and the Egg Republic of China, it also made the Xiaofeng County of the Nine Shadows Kingdom fall into an unfavorable situation of being attacked by the east and west.
Although the ghost captives are brave and good at fighting, and his lieutenant general Black Kite is even braver, but today's Xiaofeng County is just a new county that is in ruins, and there are few soldiers in the county, and the number of places needed to defend has increased a lot. For a time, Ji Yuguo and the Republic of Egg both saw a glimmer of opportunity.
They began to attack from all sides, constantly harassing the border of Howling Wind County, causing a headache for the ghosts.
As a last resort, the ghost captives had no choice but to find the county princess to guard the thrush and discuss countermeasures again.
After much discussion, the two ghosts decided to negotiate peace with one of them first, so as to break the dilemma of being attacked, and the target of their peace talks was the country of Jiyu, which was located in the east of the plain. After agreeing, he wrote out the details of the plan and asked the fungus people to bring it into Yuque City and wait for Xiao Shizhu to decide.
A day later, the fungus man brought Fu Jie and Xiao Shizhu's message: "Peace talks are feasible, but there needs to be deception." ”。
After hearing this, the ghost captives were confused by the second monk, and he couldn't think of a reason even if he scratched his head, but the thrush was after a little thought, and his eyes lit up and he realized the mystery.
At that moment, she volunteered and was willing to send Ji Yuguo to the country. All she needed was the ghost captive to help her prepare fifty guards and three carts of jewels.
The first requirement is not difficult, and on the Howling Plains, there are five gems out of ten stones, and it is not difficult to ask for three carts of jewelry. It's just that although the ghost captives are ready for this, they still don't know what the thrush is going to do?
And the thrush didn't elaborate, and told him to defend against the attack of the Egg Republic and the four southern cities of the once three-body country, so he took the Fu Festival and led the delegation from the north of Xiaofeng County to enter the Jiyu country.
Ji Yu is not big, but it is only a small country with eight cities. They walked in the country for two days, and then they came to the capital of Jiyu Kingdom. After making his intentions clear, he was taken directly to the post station by the guards and rested for a day.
Early the next morning, he was summoned by King Ji Yu.
The fearless thrush, with his subordinates pushing the three carts of jewelry, calmly walked into the palace of King Ji Yu. In her opinion, this so-called palace is not as grand and tall as the ancestral shrine of the three-body ghosts.
It is nothing more than a three-entry courtyard made of obsidian bricks, and there are some stone houses in it, but it is also mediocre, not majestic at all.
Thrush also had doubts in his heart for a while, what gave them the courage to challenge a military and economic power like the Nine Shadows Country in such a small country that couldn't even afford to build a big palace?
After coming to the lobby in the atrium, Thrush saw that in the middle of the depths, there was an old man with gray hair, deep sunken eye sockets, wrinkles on his face, and the appearance of wind and candles all over his body; if he wasn't wearing the crown of the hundred ghosts of the princes of the underworld, Thrush really couldn't believe that he was the king of Ji Yu.
In front of him, to the left and right, stood four more ministers.
The thrush just stood still, and before he saluted, the king of Ji Yu stroked his chin beard and said first: "Even if you know the Nine Shadow Kings, Lone is the descendant of Zhuan, if the Nine Shadows King still wants to call the board, the Yellow Emperor who is far away in Fenglin Continent will send troops to conquer your country." ”。 After finishing speaking, I didn't forget to hum heavily.
At this time, the thrush suddenly realized that the king of Ji Yu in front of him was a delusional maniac who wanted to fight for his father. With the help that he is a descendant of Zhuan, and Zhuan is the grandson of the Yellow Emperor, he is the king of Jiyu who dares to be so bold.
But he didn't want to think about it, this is the underworld, not the human world, and the Yellow Emperor is now just a prince played by the Emperor Xudu; not to mention that the Xiong Kingdom is now busy responding to the call of the Emperor Xudu, actively attacking the Lingshan and Mashou that have been revealed.
Even if the Yellow Emperor did not go on an expedition, it may not help King Ji Yu; otherwise, why has the Kingdom of Ji Yu been established for thousands of years, and it is still a palm-sized territory?
Thrush sneered secretly at King Ji Yu's bluff in his heart, but his face suddenly showed a look of modesty, and after politely saluting, he said humbly: "The great King Ji Yu taught me that this time the minister came to make peace talks and make amends." ”。
As he spoke, he took out the peace book and held it high above his head with both hands.
A minister walked over, grabbed the peace book and handed it to King Ji Yu. King Ji Yu, who was high above, was full of pride, unfolded the silk book with his arrogant eyes, carefully looked at the terms on it, muttered for a moment, sucked his mouth, and said slowly: "Give me three carts of jewelry, this is not bad, it is not bad to cede the four southern cities of the previous three-body country to my country." But this condition is a bit less. ”。
The thrush was suddenly stunned, and the arrogant King Ji Yu said coldly: "Does the Nine Shadows Kingdom have to pay a tribute of 100,000 stones of corn to our country every year?" If you don't have corn, you can take 100,000 slaves. ”。
It is a matter of course, full of confidence, and without the slightest shame.
Thrush was stunned again, thinking that the purpose of her trip was to deceive King Ji Yu into a truce, and the so-called terms were just a piece of waste paper, she was embarrassed, and said: "This ...... A little more. ”。
