The rain in Dongyizhou sometimes came and went quickly, and in a blink of an eye, the clouds opened and the fog dispersed, and a bright cloudy light sprinkled down from behind the scattered dark clouds, and a brilliant rainbow hung above the sky.

In the backyard in front of the back hall, the yin qi on the damp ground is still rising, drifting towards the small pond in the corner of the wall with the wind, surrounding the green bamboo by the pool, and the slender bamboo leaves are bright green.

The stone rockery in the small pond stands proudly, the wind comes slowly, and the water in the pool is not prosperous. The water lily bones planted in the pond are lifted and slowly soothe, like shy girls.

In the back hall, Xiao Shizhu naturally kicked off the shoe on his right foot, bent his knees, and stepped on the edge of his chair. The breath of the ruffian hooligan was once again revealed.

After drinking tea with Shi Cassia and chatting for a while, Xiao Shizhu put down the teacup and asked Shi Cassia Ming: "Along the way, you didn't offend or abuse King Yama, did you?"

"According to your father-in-law's request, along the way, except for letting the old man sit in the iron prisoner car, he was respectful at other times. At this point, Shi Cianming paused and asked curiously, "Father-in-law, do you want to appease this old ghost?"

Xiao Shizhu did not answer, but raised the teacup, raised his head and drank the tea in the cup, and smiled meaningfully at Shi Cassia Ming.

In the huge underworld, there are not many ghosts who know, in fact, the king of Yama was secretly wooed by Wu Qiu Shou when he went to the capital to seek the position of the king of the underworld for Xiao Shizhu a few years ago.

And the king of Yama is also under the persuasion of Wu Qiu Shou's three-inch incorruptible tongue, firmly believing that Xiao Shizhu can create a new era of peace for the underworld, so he has always been loyal to the Northern Yin Dynasty on the surface, but in fact he is secretly loyal to the Nine Shadows Kingdom. Many of the strategic plans of the Northern Yin Dynasty were secretly revealed by him to the Nine Shadows Kingdom.

However, Xiao Shizhu would not break his identity just like that, so he just smiled meaningfully.

"Go and bring him here. Xiao Shizhu, who put down the teacup, told Shi Cianming: "Remember, don't let any outside ghosts know to see it, I asked you to bring him here for questioning." ”。

"Don't worry, father, I'll do it, and I'll let him be handcuffed and shackled. Standing up and saying this, Cassia Shi turned and strode out of the house.

This was done just to make him look like a prisoner of war.

Xiao Shizhu also got up and paced to the window and stood still. Through the carved panes, I watched the eaves of the verandah outside the house dripping with the wind, and I was stunned.

The fierce rivals in Dongyizhou were defeated one after another, and thirty percent of the land in Dongyizhou was in his hands, but for some reason, Xiao Shizhu was a little less excited, but he was a little more uneasy in his heart.

Perhaps it was in every previous battle, except for the time when he was shot by the Soul Breaker Arrow and almost died, there was no danger to his life at other times, and those who were in danger of his life were not on the battlefield but were assassinated by him. But after coming to Dongyi Continent, he almost burped in the battle of Manjiang City, and he was in a coma for nearly ten days, which made him feel uneasy.

And he always had a kind of prediction that in Dongyi Continent, the next battle would not go as smoothly as usual.

The palace people had already walked in while he was pondering, replaced with freshly brewed hot tea, and brought another plate of melons, fruits, and pastries, and removed the previous ones.

"Bang", a crystal clear drop of water dripped on the ground, and the moment it touched the ground, it turned into countless splashes scattered and jumped up on the ground.

Xiao Shizhu, who was relieved from his stunned thoughts, saw Shi Cianming walking in from outside the courtyard with a bearded human soul with a black face.

The shackles on the bearded soul's hands and feet made his steps heavy and slow, and with each step he took there was a piercing clang.

Shi Cianming took him into the house, took the key and untied the shackles and handcuffs for him, slowly retreated, and then closed the door with his hand, and retreated to the courtyard gate with the guards at the door.

Xiao Shizhu flicked his sleeves, and all the open windows were blown by a sudden strong wind, and they all closed together.

Suddenly, the room fell silent.

Xiao Shizhu sat down in front of King Yama with a faint smile, looked the other party up and down for a while, pointed to the chair opposite him, and said a little excitedly: "King Yama, one of the great heroes of my Nine Shadows Kingdom, I finally saw your true face today; ”。

King Yama, who was also looking at him, was suddenly stunned when he heard this, raised his hand and scratched his head, bent his knees, and naturally knelt in front of Xiao Shizhu, kowtowed, "Xiao Wang doesn't dare." ”。

"Again. Xiao Shizhu finished muttering this, not only sighed, but then stretched out the frowning brows he muttered when he muttered, and said with a smile: "King Yama, please put your knees away and sit on your ass on the chair, can we have a good chat?"

"Xiao Wang didn't dare. King Yama, who still put his forehead on the ground, replied with a slight trembling: "You are the king of the underworld, and you still control the land of the two continents with heavy troops, and the little king is just the little king of the ghost capital, how dare you sit on an equal footing with you?"

"King Yama, the so-called "follow the customs, in the Nine Shadows Country where there is no kneeling salute, on Lao Tzu's territory, if I let you sit on your knees, you are not afraid that I will condemn you for disobedience?" Xiao Shizhu asked jokingly.

Hearing this, King Yama, who was silent for a moment, weighed it again and again, but hurriedly got up and sat next to him, but he was still restrained, and he was so nervous that he was on pins and needles, and hot sweat continued to ooze from his forehead.

"Relax, the hot tea in front of you has just been replaced, let's talk while we drink." Xiao Shizhu, who smiled, picked up his teacup......

Shanwan, which used to be the southern port of the Republic of Mao, is no longer what it used to be.

On Haigu Mountain in front of the bay, majestic and sturdy fort turrets are lined up among the cliffs on the mountain, forming horns with each other. At the foot of the mountain, the blue brick and black tile houses are scattered all over the forest, and the pebble path runs through them, and the roadside is clear and secluded, and the small bridge and flowing water reveal a simple and quiet atmosphere. Surrounded by walls to protect the island's houses, the mountain became a small sea town with mountains and rivers in its backdrop, as well as a sea fortress.

On the coast on the east and west sides of Shanwan, a series of forts supported by timber inside, covered with blue bricks, and grouting with white ash are erected on the beach, guarding the military ports on the east and west sides, as well as the naval warships moored in the harbors.

In the middle of the reconstructed wharf, there are many water pavilions and small buildings along the shore, and in the lively market behind the wharf, the rows are neatly arranged, and the merchants and vendors shout and stop, looking at the dazzling array of goods.

Not far behind the market, after passing through two military camps, we came to the newly built Shanwan City behind Shanwan.

Along the bluestone avenue, after passing the gate of the three-fold and three-bay building in the south of the city, you will enter the city with a slightly square plan.

In the middle of the city, on the main hall of the Chenghuang Mansion, where the overall building is majestic, Lin Congwei was sitting in front of the wall with the Jiangya Mountain and sea charts in the depths, raising his eyes to look at Ju Hong not far in front of him.

There were also two souls, a man and a woman, who followed him.

The male ghost with the ghost head scepter was burly and dark-skinned, but there was nothing special about it.

But the silver-haired female ghost in green clothes beside him, with the nobility and calmness between her eyebrows, is rare.

Lin Cong felt from the county government that this place was for the man, a woman and two ghosts in front of him; according to Ju Hong's report, the silver-haired female ghost claimed to be a dead citizen of the bear country, and there was once a daughter of the bear king Ji Xuanyuan.

However, the communication of the underworld is too backward, and Lin Cong has been in the underworld for a long time, but he has never seen the true face of the female ghost, and for a while, only with the scepter in the hand of the male ghost, he can't be sure that the female ghost in front of him is really the female ghost of the bear country in the past.

"I also brought with me the gold seal and the silk book of the bear king. However, the silk book can only be seen by the King of the Nine Shadows himself, and the golden seal can be shown to you. In silence, in the face of Lin Cong's suspicious gaze, the calm and calm female Lu slowly took out a gold seal from her sleeve.

This gilt gold seal was just pulled out of her cuffs, and it suddenly shone in the cloudy light. However, on the palm-sized, square gold seal, stands a giant bear with its head held high, its mouth slightly open and its teeth bared, and its two bear eyes are inlaid with thinly sliced blood-red agate. It was a gold-stamped seal, but it was very unique.

Nulu handed the golden seal to Ju Hong, and he handed it to Lin Cong.

Lin Cong had already heard that the seal with the seal of the bear king given by the Emperor Xudu was very unique, and it was a red-eyed golden bear that had always stood proudly on the gold seal.

Seeing this golden seal, Lin Cong's suspicions had already disappeared by three points. After looking at the bottom of the seal, he saw that the seal was indeed engraved with the words "There is a bear king seal", and after compounding the regulations with the bear king's gold seal, Lin Cong's suspicion in his heart was only five points.

But he still didn't dare to believe the identity of the female ghost in front of him, and after all, the other party wanted to see Xiao Shizhu, in case it was an assassin, then it would be a big trouble.

Lin Cong put down the golden seal and pondered.

The wind outside the lobby was rampant, whirring, sweeping the fallen leaves all over the ground, raising the fallen leaves and spinning in mid-air.

Lin Cong's silence made the lobby a dead silence, and the sound of the wind outside the house seemed even clearer and harsh.

After being hunted down and killed many times, the sturdy male ghost, who was already a soldier, was already apprehensive about the death-like silence. The lobby was so quiet that he was so nervous that beads of sweat oozed from his palms.

But the female girl, although she is a woman, is still calm, her face is not frightened, and she is very calm.

After pondering for a long time, Lin Cong had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and suddenly thought of a good way to verify the identity of the two ghosts. At that moment, he waved to Juhong without hesitation.

When Ju Hong stood in front of the table, Lin Cong leaned forward and whispered something in his ear, only to see Ju Hong answer with a slight bow, and then turned around and strode out of the lobby.

"Princess Nulu, although with the scepter and the golden seal, I believe that your identity is undoubted, but after all, you are going to see my father-in-law, I really don't dare to be careless, but I have a way to help you completely verify your true body, I wonder if you can let me test it again?" Then, Lin Cong asked with a pleasant face.

A few years ago, or even half a year ago, if he dared to talk to her like this, no matter how kind the other party was, then she would definitely hold a grudge in secret. But after experiencing the ruin of the country and the death of her family, and being chased and killed all the way, she no longer has so many little tempers.

"Yes. At that moment, she tilted her head slightly and asked, "I don't know how you can verify the identity of the female lady." ”。

"Hehe, it's easy. Lin Cong stroked a strand of beard on his chin, and said slowly: "It is rumored that the female lu calls herself the god of drought because she can use her own ghost qi to create heavenly fire and overcontrol it freely. If you can also show us this to open our eyes, it will naturally be a test to know the truth of your identity. ”。
