The palace lamps in the Yuque Palace shine in the silence.

After a long time, when the morning came, they were extinguished one after another. Only those luminous objects such as centipede beads and Jiaozhu beads, which did not need oil fire, were still shining in the dim morning when the ghost fog had faded.

The palace lanterns, the palace maids who are uniformly dressed in red are already up early, cleaning up the palace lamp oil troughs that need to be lit by oil fire on the roads in the palace.

And on a ghost tree outside the dormitory of the Moon Wall Palace, the black monkey who had slept all night woke up slowly.

He rolled over and fell from the tree, standing firmly on the still damp jade tiles after the ghost fog had cleared.

As soon as the black monkey wearing the fitted gold silk soft armor landed, he first moved his hands and feet, and then found a place to wash his face.

Xiao Shizhu taught him, and he had some rules. The current black monkey, in addition to still not being able to speak, still doesn't like or is used to wearing shoes and socks. All other words and deeds have shaken off the shadow of the beasts of the past.

Xiao Shizhu originally planned, but he really couldn't teach him, so he handed him over to Wu Xiaohui to **, but now it seems that there is no need for that.

After the black monkey washed up, he walked back to the door of the dormitory, and there were already palace maids and palace people who had brought the prepared breakfast into the dormitory. At the same time, there were also palace people, who sent the black monkey a nest head and a boiled piece of beast soul meat.

That nest is not a coarse grain, nor is it a dollar four, it is used in some strange grains in the underworld, no matter how you look at the color, it looks like it is moldy, but it is still delicious.

But it's only delicious for Hyakki.

The black monkey sat on the stone steps in front of the main hall, and took a bite of the meat and ate it happily.

The palace people were because he was Xiao Shizhu's guard, so as long as they didn't trespass into the palace, they didn't care about him, and let the black monkey sit on the stone steps to face the morning breeze and eat a delicious breakfast, so uncomfortable.

The black monkey who had eaten breakfast by three and five by two asked the palace people for a glass of water to drink. He couldn't speak, and after gesturing for a while, the palace people understood, and poured him clear spring water.

The cool morning breeze was howling, and the thick and tall door of the dormitory slowly opened, and Xiao Shizhu, who was also well-fed and drunk, walked out with a yawn with a faint dark circle under his eyes.

The bedclothes on the body have been changed, and the palace people will send them to wash them later. His robes were put on here, and the ribbon and jade pendant, which symbolized his power and status, were once again hung back on his waist.

This night, Xiao Shizhu was not having a good time. To explain to Lai Yueqi clearly that dealing with Lai Yueqi's affairs is just a political means to maintain the Nine Shadows Kingdom and the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom, but why do you do this and can't be too clear, lest Lai Yueqi accidentally say something out of her mouth and cause extraneous branches.

In the second half of the night, Xiao Shizhu finally made this matter clear, and Lai Yueqi was no longer angry and resentful about it. She still chose to believe Xiao Shizhu, believing that although Xiao Shizhu did not say it explicitly, one day Tu Yaoqing would be doubly returned.

Even so, Xiao Shizhu couldn't sleep last night, and the debt to Lai Yueqi made this overlord of the underworld toss and turn in the long night. After a long time, I fell asleep for a while, and the sky was bright.

The first morning bell of Yuque City and Yuque Palace rang synchronously. The guards changed their guard at the loud and crisp echo of the morning bell, and the bell also woke Xiao Shizhu up as scheduled.

Then it was another busy day, and after the morning dynasty, the piles of notebooks were still waiting for Xiao Shizhu.

Stepping out of the door of the dormitory, Xiao Shizhu secretly complained in his heart about getting up early. But it's just talking, he is still ready to go to the court happily.

Before he walked to the front and back, Lai Yueqi's shout came from behind him: "Wait for the king, you forgot to bring your sword." ”。

Xiao Shizhu, who was standing still, turned around and saw Lai Yueqi holding the Moon Destroying Sword in both hands and rushing over.

Xiao Shizhu smiled, took the sword from the hand of Lai Yueqi, who had arrived in front of him in an instant, and hung it on his waist, and stretched out his hand to help Lai Yueqi pin his ears and temples: "I'm going to the court." ”。

After speaking, under Lai Yueqi's nod, Xiao Shizhu turned around and left, and after getting off the platform, he called the black monkey and went out.

When he walked to the gate of the palace, Xiao Shizhu saw Qinglan and Xun Xiang, who had already taken his chariot, and the strong mountain ghost who carried the chariot, as well as the guards of the two small flags waiting at the door. And Qing Lan saw Xiao Shizhu pacing out of the Moon Wall Palace, and immediately greeted him.

Xiao Shizhu stopped, and when he glanced at Qing Lan's solemn face, he knew that he was afraid that something urgent had happened last night. It's not necessarily a bad thing, but it's not necessarily a bad thing.

Xiao Shizhu didn't say a word, turned a corner, and took Qinglan to the side of the palace gate first, a secluded place, standing in front of a few tall green bamboos under the corner, and motioned for Qinglan to say.

Qing Lan understood, lowered her voice, and said to him: "There is news from the Six Heavens Continent, saying that the Emperor Xudu is ready to use the Shangqing Boy and sit in the southeast coastal area of the Six Heavens Continent?"

"Who?" Xiao Shizhu was slightly stunned and asked rhetorically. At the same time, I was thinking quickly in my mind about recalling the memories of the past, and I wanted to find out if I had seen or heard of this ghost when and where.

He always felt that the name was familiar to him, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it or when he had seen it.

"Shangqing boy. Qing Lan continued to repeat the name in a low voice.

Xiao Shizhu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly a flash of inspiration occurred in his mind, and he suddenly remembered.

He did hear of this ghost, it was a long time ago, when he had nothing to do with the ghost mother, and when he mentioned the ghost generals and ghost ministers of the Northern Yin Dynasty, he heard the ghost mother talk about it.

This ghost is well-versed in the past and the present, and knows almost everything about the underworld and the ancient gods. Before Emperor Xudu usurped power, he was a scribe of the ancient gods, and even managed money for a while. However, at that time, there was no very systematic monetary system in the underworld, that is, for a while.

However, it is said to be a beautiful man. looks like a little guy with oily hair and powder.,A long time ago.,It's a very attractive female ghost who likes male ghosts.。

At that time, there were more female ghosts pursuing the Shangqing boy, and there were countless crazy ones. It is said that the Shangqing boy, as long as he goes on the street, there are female ghosts chasing and intercepting him, running to tell each other, just to see the other party's handsomeness.

However, when Xiao Shizhu asked the ghost mother if she was crazy about the Shangqing boy in the past, the ghost mother laughed and said nothing, and then quickly diverted the topic.

For a while, when the Nine Shadows Kingdom was very peaceful, Xiao Shizhu once wanted to take the time to take a look at this, and now he is still guarding the Shangqing boy in the small fortress outside the pass in the north.

Look at this oily noodle boy, how good does it look at the bottom?

But it's just to think about it when it's okay, and it's just a cranky thought to pass the time; later, the territory of the Nine Shadows Country is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more things, Xiao Shizhu has forgotten about this matter and this ghost.

Thinking about it today, the curiosity of the past also flooded with the memory.

"Got it. Xiao Shizhu nodded, and while walking towards Bu Yuan, he quickly explained to Qing Lan: "Tell Lin Cong and continue to keep an eye on the progress of this matter." ”。

Xiao Shizhu, who walked to the side of the step, thought while climbing the step: "I want to see what this legendary Shangqing boy who looks handsome and handsome is capable of." ”......

Xiaoyu Mountain City, which is far away from the sea, is also slowly lively in the cloudy morning light rising in the west.

On the top of Xiaoyu Mountain City, immersed in the morning light, the military government yamen once again set up the negotiation table.

After the representatives of the ghost envoys of the Northern Yin Dynasty and the representatives of the Nine Shadows Kingdom took their seats one after another, they began to carefully read the peace negotiation treaty that had been decided.

After talking for so long and arguing countless times, the results were reflected on those few pieces of paper. After fighting back and forth, in the end, the ghost envoy of the Northern Yin Dynasty signed a contract with humiliation, gritted his teeth and agreed to all the requirements of the Nine Shadows Kingdom. To compensate for this and that, Lu Zhidao and Wei Zheng have no opinion.

The main thing is that they received a flying pigeon from the side of Xudu, and the Emperor of Xudu asked Lu Zhidao and Wei Zheng not to entangle, no matter what the conditions are, as long as they do not change and add new conditions, they will agree to the Nine Shadows Kingdom.

The quarrels around the negotiating table were gone, and for several days the representatives of both sides were busy revising and proofreading the treaty and peace talks.

After several days of busy work, I finally got it done early this morning.

Ying Zhao took advantage of this to buy a few days for the loess civet to respond to them, and bought a few days to ransack the southeast region of Beiyin Dynasty. It still had good results, robbing a lot of various materials, but it did not destroy an acre of ghost people's farmland, nor did it accidentally injure a ghost people.

This made the Northern Yin Dynasty want to share the same hatred, but there was no way.

But this kind of good thing is only so far. Once the peace treaty is signed, the Nine Shadows Kingdom will have to keep its promise and keep peace with the Northern Yin Dynasty and not invade each other for at least 12 years according to the requirements of the treaty.

Xiao Shizhu used his usual 'shamelessness' and 'despicability' to the enemy in exchange for twelve years of recuperation for the Nine Shadows Kingdom.

Lu Zhidao and Wei Zheng, Ying Zhao and Ji Kang, and Jiang Ziwen all carefully checked and completed the two treaties, and after finding that there were no mistakes, they all began to sign and draw on them.

For the first time in the history of the Northern Yin Dynasty, a great shame came with the signatures of Lu Zhidao and Wei Zheng. It has become a wound that it will not heal and will not heal.

After everything was ready and both sides signed, Lu Zhidao and Ying Zhao both stood up.

Although Lu Zhidao was also angry in his heart, he still squeezed out a smile, saluted, and said kindly: "We will send the treaty back, and the materials promised to compensate your country will be sent soon." I also ask your country to keep its promise and refrain from provoking any more disasters and destroying the peace that we have won so hard. ”。

When Wei Zheng heard this, he snorted angrily, his face still pale.

Ying Zhao also smiled, and after saluting, he nodded, and said, "My country will definitely keep its promises, please rest assured." But ......".

Before he finished speaking, a sudden heroic move, his eyes fell on the table in front of Lu Zhidao, the treaty held by the Beiyin Dynasty, and after sweeping it, he once again moved his gaze to Lu Zhidao's face, who was stunned for a moment, and then said: "But Lord Lu and Lord Wei don't go back; You just stay here, wait for the supplies to be delivered, and then go back with Gong Mingyi's dead eunuch." ”。

Before Ying Zhao finished speaking, the whistle of Yu Xuan beside him had already sounded.

When the melodious and crisp whistle echoed, a large army of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, which was heavily armed, rushed in. Together with the soldiers of the Nine Shadows Kingdom who had already prepared in the courtyard, they controlled Lu Zhidao and Wei Zheng, as well as the scribes and guards they brought to the courtyard, in three or five clicks.

By the way, the weapons of the guards of the Northern Yin Dynasty were confiscated, and not even a short knife and dagger were left.

When Lu Zhidao was still stunned, Ying Zhao had already opened his mouth again, and said to the ghost soldiers around him: "Detain Lu Zhidao and Lord Wei Zheng, limit the scope of activities, but still entertain with delicious food and drink, don't slack off." ”。
