The yin wind blew up and blew into the Heavenly Temple in the Northern Yin Middle.

The draperies hanging from the beams and the jade beams hanging from the beams shook gently in the wind.

The reincarnation king in front of Emperor Xudu was still kneeling on the ground.

The King of Rotation had no objection to the order of the Emperor Xudu.

Immediately received the order, kept this matter in mind, and planned to go down the mountain for a long time to work all night, and strive to select the preliminary list after dawn, and how to arrange the plan for the spies to enter the Nine Shadows Kingdom.

However, the Reincarnation King was not in a hurry to retreat, and still knelt in front of the Emperor Xudu.

Seeing this, Emperor Xudu asked, "Is there anything else?"

"Yes. The reincarnation king, who nodded, continued: "It seems that the plague plan of the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom has failed, and there has been no large-scale spread of the epidemic in Dushuo Mountain Pass. On Dushuo Mountain in the rainy season, the morale of the Jiuyou Army was high, and the training did not fall. ”。

"Oh. Emperor Xudu casually spat out a word and said no more.

When the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom secretly asked him for the formula for this plague, he knew that it was an unrealistic problem to use this to weaken the strength of the Nine Shadows Army.

The Qingqiu Fox Country chose to spread the plague with water, which seemed to be very clever, but in fact it was just a stupid trick.

When the water is flowing, it carries with it the ability to purify itself, and the plague that could spread quickly and kill people is weakened by the self-purification ability of this flow.

Moreover, the river has tributaries, so the plague will be dispersed and no longer strong.

Therefore, at the beginning, Emperor Xudu didn't think that the naïve trick of Qingqiu Fox Kingdom could have much effect.

The reason why he still gave the Qingqiu Fox Country the plague formula was nothing more than what Xiao Shizhu guessed, that is, he wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.

And even if the Nine Shadows Kingdom took advantage of this to get angry, it couldn't blame the head of the Northern Yin Dynasty.

Emperor Xudu could claim that he didn't know that the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom was going to be used against the Nine Shadows Kingdom. And for this, I deeply regret it.

In the end, the Nine Shadows Kingdom can only suffer a dumb loss.

"The minister wants to say, it can be seen that the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom does not have the strength to compete with the Nine Ghost Kingdom, do you withdraw from the matter of secretly buying and selling the Netherworld Ghost Cannon to the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom?"

This incident made the Reincarnation King lose confidence in the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom, and wanted to try his best to remove the Northern Yin Dynasty from the dispute between the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom and the Nine Shadows Kingdom.

"No need, continue to secretly buy and sell Nether Ghost Cannons and cannonballs to the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom. After thinking for a while, Emperor Xudu slowly shook his head and vetoed: "It is our freedom to buy and sell arms, and the Qingqiu Fox Country is not the territory of the Nine Shadows Country, and the Nine Shadows Country has no right to accuse us of this." ”。

Emperor Xudu could see that the Reincarnation King wanted to withdraw as soon as possible.

But Emperor Xudu did not intend to do so, as long as the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom settled the payment and did not default, he would always buy and sell firearms to the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom.

In order to dispel the concerns of the Reincarnation King, Emperor Xudu immediately told the reason.

After a long speech, Emperor Xudu said: "Not only do you not have to cancel the cooperation with the Qingqiu Fox Country, but you can also produce more and sell it to the Qingqiu Fox Country." ”。

After all, in this way, the battle between the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom and the Nine Shadows Kingdom could last for a longer time. This is what Emperor Xudu wants to see, because this can allow the Northern Yin Dynasty to develop and recover with peace of mind.

The King of Reincarnation is also a little clear, and he has no worries in his heart, but he is elated, and his heart is as excited as a flood that bursts the embankment, constantly gushing.

It is always the Northern Yin Dynasty that has won fewer victories and more defeats in the struggle against the Nine Shadow Kingdom, and it is rare to have a chance to make the Nine Shadow Kingdom suffer a dumb loss. This time the plan will make the Nine Shadows Kingdom only suffer secretly, and the whole Beiyin Dynasty will be very interested in it.

Of course, the same goes for the Wheel King.

"Your Majesty is still far-sighted, and the minister is ashamed of himself. Taking advantage of the excitement, the King of Rotation gave Emperor Xudu a sycophant.

"Soon, once the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom starts a war with the Nine Ghost Kingdom, there will be a greater demand for our country's ghost cannons, so that the ordnance manufacturing workshop will start to produce ghost cannons and shells now. The sycophants were very useful, and Emperor Xudu showed a rare smile on his face and said, "Even if the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom is defeated, it will not be harmful to us." ”。

"Yes, the minister will go and give orders for His Majesty in a moment. The Wheel King said again.

"There is one more thing, the Qingqiu Fox King has already decided. Then, the king of reincarnation said: "He wants to send an envoy to the Nine Shadows Kingdom, most likely to stabilize Xiao Shizhu, so that he can launch a surprise attack on the Nine Shadows Army at the end of the rainy season." ”。

This is the fresh information that the King of Rotation got before he went up the mountain and entered the palace.

"It is said that dozens of cartloads of gold, silver, jewelry, and exotic treasures were used to tie Xiao Shihu. After a pause, the Wheel King added.

"Well, let them fight on their own. Emperor Xudu was not angry but happy, and said: "The Qingqiu Fox King is not very capable, but his ambition is not small. Xiao Shizhu is really capable, but to deal with the Qingqiu Fox Country, he also has to shed his skin. When two tigers fight, there will be an injury. ”。

"Yes. The Wheel King complied, with a sly smile on his face.

"The minister has nothing to do, so he will step back. Then, the King of Rotation bent down and kowtowed to Emperor Xudu.

"Let the Flying Army pay close attention, what will the Nine Shadows Kingdom do after it gets full control of the Blind Sea. Just as the Wheel King was about to retreat, Emperor Xudu explained: "All the information about the sea should be copied to Wei Zheng and the Shangqing boys on the southeast coast of the calf pass, so that they can better adjust their defenses." ”。

"Yes. The King of Rotation responded without hesitation and slowly withdrew from the main hall.

As soon as he left, the vast hall was even more deserted.

The yin wind that poured in, and the sound of the wind became harsh.

Emperor Xudu coughed twice deliberately, and the guards at the door heard it, and hurriedly pulled the heavy door of the main hall and helped him close the door.

The wind and the wind can no longer come in. The swaying curtains in the temple, and the jade that hung on the curtains, were settled.

Emperor Xudu sat up straight, picked up the playbook in his hand, unfolded it, and looked at it carefully under the light of the centipede beads and the dragons......

The lights on Luo Yu Mountain are bright, and the same is true in the Yuque Palace of the Nine Secluded Kingdom.

The light of the ever-bright lantern, the soft light of the centipede beads and the dragon clan illuminates the night, making all kinds of jade buildings shine brightly.

In the Fengyi Pavilion of Juexiang Garden, Xiao Shizhu, who had not yet fallen asleep, sat in the pavilion with his teapot, looking at Lai Yueqi on the opposite side and handed over a large stack of lists.

What is recorded on it is the ship number, specification and owner of merchant ships from all over the Nine Shadows Country.

Originally, these were registered in the Hermitage Department, which was in charge of engineering and production, and was in charge of the production of the project. Now Xiao Shizhu wants to revise it again and give it to him.

After reading it, Xiao Shizhu handed over the list booklet to Lai Yueqi.

"I heard from the ghost doctor that you are pregnant with a child again. It is not easy to conceive a child, so go out and walk around less. Just leave the work to your subordinates. When Lai Yueqi took the list and handed it to the personal palace maid she brought, Xiao Shizhu said to her: "The ghost doctor you brought back from the Howling Wind Plain also said that your pregnancy this is the last time, but you must be careful and give me a healthy child." ”。

"Yes, yes. Lai Yueqi replied with a smile.

"Then I'll go back and rest. After a pause, Lai Yueqi said this and stood up.

Her lower abdomen was still flat, not like she was pregnant with a child. But this morning, the ghost doctor did inform Xiao Shizhu that Mrs. Lai had a fetal artery.

"Well, remember the matter of this ship and leave it to your subordinates. Xiao Shizhu couldn't help but admonish again.

The ghost mother on the side hurriedly called Chen Ruo and said, "Chen Ruo, you send Mrs. Lai back to the Moon Wall Palace." ”。

"I'll see you another day. Xiao Shizhu said, and also signaled to Chen Ruo to send Lai Yueqi back safely.

"Yes, the concubine has retired. Lai Yueqi said that she was about to salute, but was stopped by the ghost mother instead of Xiao Shizhu.

It is very difficult for Lai Yueqi to conceive a child again, and there will be no second chance. This made Xiao Shizhu and his entire harem cautious. I'm afraid that Lai Yueqi will have any more accidents.

After watching Lai Yueqi drift away, Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother slowly put away their worries and settled down.

"Really, what are you going to do with the list of those ships?" The ghost mother lifted the teapot on the stone table in front of her, poured herself a cup of tea, and after taking a sip, said with some complaint: "This kind of thing, just leave it to Changqin and them to do." The moon girl is finally pregnant with a child again, let her have a good rest. ”。

"I just found out today that she's pregnant. Not to be outdone, Xiao Shizhu defended: "This matter was just after she came back from the Howling Wind Plain, so I asked her to do it, how did I know at that time, that ghost doctor's medicine is so powerful, it won't be long before she can conceive a child again." ”。

"You. The ghost mother glanced at him and said angrily: "Unreasonable becomes reasonable, and I am very good at it." ”。

"Haha. Xiao Shizhu didn't care, laughed a few times, and said, "I'm like this, I can't change it." ”。

With that, he stood up, walked out of the pavilion and headed towards the main building.

It was late at night, and he was going to rest.

He will get up early tomorrow morning when the sun rises, and after breakfast, he will go to the morning court, so he can't help but take a rest tonight. Otherwise, tomorrow in the court, there will always be yawning, and those officials who are mainly responsible for supervising and admonishing the Nine Shadows Kingdom will send a book of advice to Xiao Shizhu like heavy snow and snowflakes.

The ghost mother also followed, and followed Mu Qingming into the main building.

The ladies then brought in hot water for their husband and wife to wash.

After washing, Xiao Shizhu sat on the edge of the bed in the depths of the building, under the shade of strange plants and trees, and sat on the edge of the bed, waiting for the ghost mother who was still disassembling the accessories on her head.

Xiao Shizhu, who waited for a while, couldn't help but say: "You female ghosts are really troublesome, you wear so many things on your heads, it's troublesome to dismantle." ”。

It's just a joke, but it's just a casual remark. Xiao Shizhu then stood up again, took off the Moon Destroying Sword from his waist and put it on the sword rack not far from the bed, and changed into his bedclothes.

After a while, the ghost mother also took off all the accessories with the help of the palace maid, changed into bed clothes, washed again, and sent the palace maid out and walked to the side of the bed.

When the palace ladies went out, they closed the door of the main building. Only Xiao Shizhu and his wife were left in the building, and the tengu who was already on the edge of the bed, spread on the brocade carpet spun out of the long wool on the ground, sleeping dimly and snoring loudly.

Xiao Shizhu had already laid down on the soft bed, stretched his waist and yawned.

The ghost mother climbed up, lowered the curtain, sat down beside Xiao Shizhu, crossed her knees, looked at her husband amid the snoring of the tengu one after another, and asked, "I think you want to arm civilian ships and merchant ships, right?"

This brings us back to the previous topic.

Xiao Shizhu smiled slightly, and did smile without saying a word.

But his heart is still happy, in the huge underworld, he can guess what he thinks, only the ghost mother, this kind of heart makes Xiao Shizhu in the ghost mother, there is a kind of relaxation and comfort that cannot be found elsewhere.

"Then you know, why do I do this?" Anyway, the sleepiness was not very strong, and Xiao Shizhu simply talked with the ghost mother in the night with great interest.

"Well, strengthen the combat effectiveness of our major sailors. After pondering for a long time, the ghost mother said her thoughts: "In their spare time, they are merchant ships and civilian ships, and they are quickly transformed in wartime, equipped with soldiers, sailors and artillery, and even flying troops, air horses and thunder vehicles, those large ships are powerful warships." ”。

After a pause, the ghost mother saw that her husband Xiao Shizhu was still smiling and silent, and said: "Don't you often say that you don't have a strong sailor, you are a one-armed man with only one hand." Presumably, you are also doing everything possible to make our country's sailors strong. ”。

"That's right, my wife is smart. Xiao Shizhu straightened up and sat up.

The movement was so loud that the tengu beside the bed suddenly woke up and looked towards the bed. After seeing that there was no danger, Dahua lowered her head and continued to fall asleep.

"Not long ago, the Battle of Shuoyue Island gave me a revelation that the strength of the sailors is not only the power of artillery fire, the combat effectiveness of the sergeants equipped, but also the number. Xiao Shizhu said this, and remembered the battle reports of the Battle of Shuoyue Island that he had read.

The Beiyin Dynasty sailors who are like mountains and islands, when they come from the mountains and the sea, the local sailors of the Nine Shadows Country are simply unable to meet the enemy head-on.

The defender Yingzhao could only make the decision that the naval division would withdraw from the battlefield first, wait for the opportunity to move, and garrison the island from the periphery to encircle the army and the naval division of the Northern Yin Dynasty.

This kind of constraint made Xiao Shizhu learn from the pain.

Although the naval division of the Nine Shadows Army is strong, the small number of warships is the shortcoming of the Nine Shadows Water Division. With the expansion of the territory and the expansion of the sea area, it is necessary to expand the sailors.

But just as a thousand armies are easy to find, solid and huge warships are easy to build, but sailor soldiers, gunners, and generals who are good at water warfare are rare.

What's more, building too many ships at once will make the treasury of the Nine Shadows Country empty, and there will be no benefit. The construction of a sailor can only be done slowly, not in a hurry, and everything must be done slowly.

At this time, Xiao Shizhu thought of a strategy to make civilian ships and merchant ships dual-use.

By handing over all the specifications of the civilian and merchant ships of the Nine Shadows to the ordnance supervisors who are good at crafting weapons, and those skilled craftsmen who are good at building weapons, they will be able to formulate strategies and plans for the rapid transformation of ships in advance.

Once war breaks out, these merchant and civilian ships can be used for both purposes and quickly put into the battlefield.

At the same time, it can also increase the experience of ordnance supervision experts and craftsmen in disguising military warships as civilian ships or merchant ships, so that they can be used in future naval warfare.

"In this world, the ocean is almost twice the size of the land. Xiao Shizhu sat on the boat, smiled at the ghost mother, and said with great interest: "Without a strong sailor, I can't sleep well in the Yuque Palace." ”。

Moreover, he is not wary of the ghost mother. After all, this wife had already been in line with him and would never betray him, so Xiao Shizhu immediately said his plan to count the ships and say: "In the next step, I will arrange for the sailor sergeant to board these civilian ships and merchant ships for free escort." The first is to protect merchant ships and civilian ships, and the other is to use this to train soldiers, and constantly train elite sailors and ghost soldiers who are not afraid of wind and waves. ”。
