Bamboo shadows are swaying, and the lights are lit up outside the building. The musicians arranged by the Queen of Yellow Springs are still playing, as if they are tireless.

The cheerful and festive music was played over and over again by these tireless musicians. But the musicians were occasionally curious, and glanced in the direction of the small building out of the corner of their eyes.

Rushing into the Qingfeng Building, Xiao Shizhu quietly picked up the chopsticks, put a piece of meat in his mouth, chewed it slowly and swallowed it a few times, and then asked the Queen of Huangquan with a smile: "Then please don't be stingy with the Queen of Huangquan, and give me the recipe for this wine in a while, so that our underworld can make such a fine wine." ”。

As he spoke, he already muttered to himself in his heart: "What do you mean if you can bring the jade grain back?" This Queen of Huangquan seems to have something to say. ”。

At this moment, even Nulu and Shi Cassia heard the mystery, as did Xun Xiang and Qin Yuan.

Thinking about it carefully, Queen Huangquan obviously saw the old enemy of Xunxiang, but she didn't care about it, and only cared about washing the dust for Xiao Shizhu, which was really a bit of a good feast.

Just look around and you can see that on the first floor of the small building, there are just a few maids. And the national teacher Yingying didn't perceive that there were guards and axe hands hidden upstairs and downstairs. And Xiao Shizhu was quiet, and talked and laughed. Those ghosts were vigilant, but they still ate and drank without delay, and they didn't put their vigilance on their faces, and they were always smiling.

"This second cup of wine, I want to worship the generals of the Son of God. With your courage to kill the enemy and help, the ghost soldiers of Xudu were defeated, and Jiuquan Valley was recovered again. The Queen of Huangquan raised her wine jue again, and looked around at Xiao Shizhu's entourage, but only crossed the fragrance hunt.

But when she finished her toast, the black monkey didn't move her glass. And Yingying, the national teacher who kept an eye on it, made up a lot of nonsense, and said slowly: "The queen forgive me, I have always been invincible to alcohol, and drinking strong wine will cause little red spots all over my body, and I really can't respond to your kindness." I can only replace the wine with soup, and I hope you will forgive me. ”。

With that, he picked up the soup bowl that had already been filled with hot soup.

Seeing this, Queen Huangquan was not angry, let alone displeased, she still smiled and said, "If you don't worry about it, you will follow the national teacher." ”。

Then, after a meal, he looked around at you and said, "Let's drink this cup together." ”。

Xiao Shizhu, who was still safe and sound on the side, heard this, and expected that there was no clue in the wine they drank, so he poured the wine himself.

The smell of wine was pervasive, and there was peace in the small building. The ghosts followed the queen of the Yellow Springs and drank this cup to the brim.

The spirits were in their stomachs, and the ghosts who drank also felt that their throats were first spicy, and then their bodies were gradually hot inside and out.

After the second round of toasting, the Queen of Huangquan finally stopped, raised her chopsticks to greet others, and feasted with her on the delicacies on the table.

But this is only temporary.

The ghosts chatted while eating, and after gossiping for a while, the Queen of Huangquan raised her wine lord again, still smiling all over her face, and her pleasant colors were covered in her facial features, and she was kind.

This time, her gaze finally fell on Xun Xiang, who hadn't even looked at it before.

As former rivals, the two ghosts also fought on the battlefield and fought each other with their own eyes, but Queen Huangquan had no hatred for Xunxiang at this time.

Whether it is the gaze or the look, there is only amiability left.

"This cup of wine, I want to give my former enemy, one of the eight kings of the Huangquan ghost soldiers, who killed our countless ghost people and soldiers. Queen Huangquan smiled unabated, looked at Xun Xiang who was sitting closest to the gate, and said in a calm tone: "A glass of cold wine to release the previous suspicions, I hope Xun Xiang can also drink this cup." ”。

Xun Xiang smiled and raised her glass, but there was no hostility. Together with Queen Huangquan, she drank the wine in their respective wine lords. But from beginning to end, Xun Xiang and the Queen of Yellow Springs had nothing to say.

But Queen Huangquan didn't care, she didn't even have a little disgust, since Xun Xiang was willing to settle her suspicions with her, Queen Huangquan naturally didn't care.

It seems that because of the current Xunxiang and Xiao Shizhu's subordinates, Queen Huangquan is not too dissatisfied. It's quite a bit of a dog to be beaten to depend on the owner.

Just when Xun Xiang and Queen Huangquan both put down the wine, Xiao Shizhu took a sip of wine, and then spoke, going straight to the point: "Queen Huangquan, I have done everything I promised you. As for the ghost soldiers in Huangquan, they are no longer a threat to you. I have the courage to ask them for mercy, after all, the situation in Huangquan is different from that of the underworld, I think that as long as these surrendered ghost soldiers don't make trouble anymore, why don't you open up the net, and everyone will be safe from now on. After all, there are many Huangquan ghosts, and they have also become the wives of these drunken ghost soldiers, and they have all given birth to children. Once the killing ring is opened again, it will only make Huangquan no longer peaceful, and it will also cause a lot of wives to be separated, and you will lose a lot of people's hearts. ”。

After saying this, Xiao Shizhu turned his head and glanced at Xunxiang in the distance. Seeing that Xunxiang cast a grateful look at him.

Hearing him say this, Queen Huangquan also felt that this was reasonable after pondering for a while, so she had no objection, and nodded in response: "This matter is done, I can not blame the ghost soldiers of the capital who have surrendered and laid down their arms and are no longer stubbornly resisting." ”。

"Well, that's the best way to go. Moreover, the Xudu ghost soldiers are also very capable of fighting, and they can be expanded to your Huangquan ghost soldiers to improve your combat effectiveness. Xiao Shizhu, who poured himself a drink, asked again: "Before I set out on the expedition, the queen said that you should consider giving me reinforcements, I don't know how you think about it now?"

Queen Huangquan sat up, and the smile on her face dissipated, replaced by a look of embarrassment.

"I shouldn't have shirked this matter, it took the Son of God nearly half a year to break up the ghost soldiers of Xudu, and did his best to eliminate the war for our Huangquan. You helped me, so I should help you. The Queen of Huangquan avoided Xiao Shizhu's gaze, and the embarrassment on her face did not decrease but increased: "But you have also seen the situation of Huangquan now, all parts of the country are gradually recovering, and more ghost soldiers are needed to stabilize the order, and they really can't spare their hands." If you come to Huangquan again after a while, I will definitely lend you troops. ”。

The embarrassed look on Queen Huangquan's face turned into apology. Finally moved his gaze and met Xiao Shizhu's eyes. It's just that they looked at each other and looked away apologetically.

Xiao Shizhu had already thought that there would be such a result and answer. I was a little unhappy in my heart, but I didn't elongate my face or write my unhappiness on my face because of this.

"Well, I won't take too many ghost soldiers with me. But after thinking about it, Xiao Shizhu still felt that he had to fight for it: "I released a group of ghost slaves who were captured by the ghost soldiers of Xudu on the way to the Northern Expedition, and I formed a ghost army of them, and I just take them away now." Anyway, they are not in the establishment of the Huangquan Ghost Soldiers and the Xudu Ghost Soldiers, so I will just take them with me. ”。

After leaving for a long time, Xiao Shizhu didn't know the situation on Shuoyue Island at all.

However, according to his calculations, the million-strong army is overwhelming, even if they can fight by Yingzhao, they are not very optimistic. After all, sometimes it is difficult for two fists to beat four hands, and it often happens. And if Xiao Shizhu doesn't go back with reinforcements, he won't be able to cope with something happening on Shuoyue Island.

Even with him and a few of his subordinates, he can't face the million-strong master.

That's why he proposed to take away the five of them, who had not yet been incorporated into the Huangquan Ghost Soldiers.

And along the way of the Northern Expedition, these ghost soldiers also accumulated a lot of combat experience, and they could deal with most of the battles. Take them back, even if the battle on Shuoyue Island has been inextricably fought, and it is difficult to distinguish the victory or defeat or the Nine Shadows Army has the upper hand, as long as Xiao Shizhu commands it, he can also kill the invading Xudu Army and lose his armor.

Hearing this, Queen Huangquan opened her lips slightly, but she was speechless for a while.

She didn't expect that Xiao Shizhu kept such a hand for her, which caught Queen Huangquan a little off guard. For a while, she didn't want to lend troops to Xiao Shizhu, so she naturally didn't know how to talk.

But after thinking about it, Queen Huangquan thought that Xiao Shizhu wouldn't be able to get out of Huangquan anyway, so it didn't hurt to simply agree to him. also offended Xiao Shizhu because of this, which made him displeased. Then Queen Huangquan's plan may change a lot because of this.

Thinking of this, Queen Huangquan, who was still frowning lightly, pretended to be thoughtful, and after thinking for a while, she said, "Since they have not been incorporated into the military for the time being, you can take the son of God with you." If there are not enough reinforcements, then you will come back after a while, Son of God. ”。

said so, but she sneered in her heart.

"Thank you. Xiao Shizhu smiled and raised his glass, took the wine jug and poured the wine to the brim. The courtesies are still exchanged, and he is also ready to toast the Queen of Huangquan.

"But Son of God, since we are so acquainted, I will speak out. You can take these ghost soldiers with you, but I want to get you something, too. Just as Xiao Shizhu picked up his wine, the Queen of Huangquan smiled and said, "Recently, I have heard of a secret technique that can change the harsh environment in most places in Huangquan, and you must help me with this matter, the son of God." ”。

The last word "I" popped out of her mouth, and Queen Huangquan had already put her hands across her chest and pinched out a trick.

Before Xiao Shizhu could react, the floor tiles around him had cracked, four pillars of light rose into the sky, and four iron pestles buried deep in the ground also sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and immediately broke through the ground.

The shape of each iron pestle is the same as the iron pestle used by the Heavenly King to deal with Xiao Shizhu in the Nine Springs Valley, it is like an iron rod, but the tips of the two ends are quite sharp, and the two ends are like iron pestles with two spear heads.

It's just that the seal engraved on the pestle is very different from the talisman on the iron pestle used by the Heavenly King.

The four iron pestles summoned by the Queen of Huangquan were connected without interruption, and the pattern was just like a human soul with no hands or feet, no beads in the eyes, no nose and no ears, and only two human souls with blurred flesh and blood were gathered together.

And the lifelike pattern can be more three-dimensional than the pattern on the four iron pestles that Xiao Shizhu saw in the Nine Springs Valley. The red glow on the iron pestle and pestle flickered non-stop, and all the runes were about to come out with the flickering red glow.

For a while, the small building was filled with a terrible wind, and the howl of ghosts and wolves echoed around the beams.

The red rays are connected together to form a square light mask, which envelops Xiao Shizhu tightly.

At this moment, the musicians outside the building also ripped off the brocade clothes on their bodies, revealing the shiny armor lined under the costumes. He also took out swords and other weapons from the guqin gonghou, the chime bell and other musical instruments, rushed into the building with weapons in hand, and immediately surrounded Xun Xiang and Xiao Shizhu's entourage.

Even the maids in the building drew their short knives from their waists and clenched their hands, ready to fight at any time.

Xiao Shizhu never expected that he had already used this kind of iron pestle trick in Jiuquan Valley, but he didn't expect that he would be careless today and fall for this trick again.
