The western sky was dyed a blood-red color by the morning glow, just like the blood and water scattered on the ground in the main hall behind the Emperor Xudu.

The morning glow has emerged, and the sunny days are destined to be short.

In the Heavenly Temple in the North Yin, it was quickly cleaned up. The corpse of the fox ghost was cleaned up by the forbidden army in the palace and the palace slaves.

Everything in the main hall was restored again. Even the blood on the ground was washed away.

The fox ghost who assassinated Emperor Xudu seemed to have never appeared.

The presence of the Assassin vanished without a trace with his death.

But the smell of blood before still attracted a lot of nine-headed ghost car birds, which flew down on the roof of the temple and let out a sharp cry again and again.

Outside the main hall, the Emperor Xudu turned around and walked silently towards the main hall.

When the forbidden army and the palace slaves saw him enter the palace, they retreated as usual, and only the reincarnation king, who got up from the ground, followed the Emperor Xudu into the gloomy hall that the light of the cloudy sun could not shine on for the time being.

The light outside the main hall, although only separated from the dim hall by a threshold, was so far away.

After Emperor Xudu sat back on the restored table again, he sat cross-legged on the straw mat behind the table as he had done a long time ago.

The King of Wheels walked up to him and knelt down across the table.

"The matter of aiding the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom is a top secret, and only His Majesty, as well as a few other ghosts and high-level officials of the Qingqiu Fox Country, know about it, and the Nine Shadows Kingdom does not know about it. Therefore, the matter of blaming the blame can only be done by the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom. The King of Reincarnation, who had just knelt down, opened his mouth and said to the Emperor of Xudu: "Presumably, one is to get more ghost cannons and cannonballs, and the other is to provoke disputes between the imperial court and the Nine Shadows Kingdom, so that the peace and peace that have been won so hard will fall apart in a short time." ”。

Emperor Xudu was still silent, but only bowed his head slightly in agreement.

There is indeed such a possibility, but he is also skeptical of Emperor Xudu.

"Blame the trouble?" After a while, the Emperor Xudu opened his lips and spoke, and said thoughtfully: "Then the Nine Shadows Kingdom can also do the same to blame the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom?"

"Yes, but there's no need for the Nine Shadows. The Wheel King nodded and returned: "Xiao Shizhu is not a stupid and brutal ghost, he knows that the peace that he has finally won cannot be broken by himself. Otherwise, he will be the culprit who brought war to the underworld, and the banner of peace he used to use in the past will become a lie. ”。

After a pause, the King of Rotation said: "And near the looted arsenal, there are ghost soldiers who have inadvertently peeked into the traces of the Qingqiu fox ghost. ”。

After saying that, he looked around, and the hall was clean and spotless.

The traces of the previous assassination are no longer there.

Emperor Xudu, who calmed down, suddenly realized because of the words of the reincarnation king.

Yes, Xiao Shizhu is not a stupid ghost, in the face of great rights and wrongs, this Xiao Shizhu will never let his selfish desires expand infinitely.

And impulsiveness and brutality have never belonged to Xiao Shizhu.

Such a ghost is terrifying to the opponent from top to bottom.

The Nine Shadows Kingdom and the Northern Yin Dynasty finally signed a peace treaty, in exchange for a good opportunity to recuperate, at this time, Xiao Shizhu will never be stupid enough to act arbitrarily.

What's more, Xiao Shizhu knew that it was useless to get the ghost cannon, because the technique of condensing the dark fire had been sealed by the Northern Yin Dynasty. Several natural fire production areas are still under the control of the Northern Yin Dynasty. He Xiao Shizhu had repeatedly wanted to study this technique, but he still didn't know anything and didn't find anything, how could he think of snatching the ghost cannon?

Just with the cannon, this technology cannot be studied.

This kind of behavior is mostly done by self-righteous fox ghosts.

The purpose is also very simple, just like the analysis of the Wheel King, to provoke the Nine Shadows Kingdom and the Northern Yin Dynasty to go to war again, and fight to the death.

"Then what do you think should be done?" Thinking of this, Emperor Xudu raised his eyes and looked at the Wheel King in front of him.

His eyes narrowed, his eyes were full of anger, and there was a little more chill in his eyes.

"It's better to continue to give the Qingqiu Fox Country ghost cannon, and show that you don't know anything about this matter. The Reincarnation King, who had already planned it, immediately raised his head, looked at the Emperor of Xudu, and said categorically: "Let the ambition of the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom continue to swell, and then go and fight to the death with the Nine Shadows Kingdom." ”。

"This is the same as our original plan?" "Doubts flashed in Emperor Xudu's eyes, and he looked at the Wheel King with confidence in his eyes, and asked, "Is there any difference?"

"Your Majesty, the original plan was for the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom to secretly oppose the Nine Shadows Kingdom. The Reincarnation King, who nodded, continued: "The current plan is to let him clearly oppose the Nine Shadows Kingdom and exclude us. ”。

Emperor Xudu is not stupid, and when he hears this, he knows what the King of Reincarnation said.

It's nothing more than to make the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom feel that they are amazing, then they will attack the Nine Shadows Kingdom on their own.

This plan is to make the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom self-righteous, once the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom is proud, they will think that the Northern Yin Dynasty is not their opponent, and the Nine Shadows Kingdom has nothing to fear.

magnify the arrogance of the fox ghosts several times invisibly, and let them dig their own graves.

At the same time, it can also take advantage of this to continue to weaken the Nine Shadows Kingdom, while the Northern Yin Dynasty can completely stay out of the matter.

After thinking of this, Emperor Xudu said thoughtfully to the King of Reincarnation: "In this way, even if the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom wins, it will only be a three-legged stand. If the Nine Shadows Kingdom wins, it will also be because of the loss, right?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. The Wheel King replied and lowered his head again.

"The key is that the imperial court can continue to stay out of the matter and sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. After a pause, the Reincarnation King said, "The peace treaty does not stipulate that the imperial court cannot sell ghost cannons to the outside world. What's more, Qingqiu Fox Country took the initiative to find a deal to come to the door, even if we did it, Xiao Shizhu had nothing to say. ”。

After that, the reincarnation king who smiled yin suddenly had a little more yin owl in his eyes.

Once this plan succeeds, the Beiyin Dynasty will just lose some money and grain, which is nothing to the Beiyin Dynasty. However, it can make the Nine Shadows Kingdom and the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom cause losses.

Truly killing two birds with one stone.

"Go for it. Emperor Xudu no longer hesitated, but gave another order to the King of Reincarnation: "Send a part of the secret agents to infiltrate the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom, when the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom and the Nine Shadows Kingdom start a war, once they are at a disadvantage and are about to be defeated, they will kidnap the Qingqiu Fox King to me back, and I will kill him with my own hands." ”。

The King of Reincarnation did not delve into it, and kowtowed, "No." ”。

Then he bowed and retired, and slowly withdrew from the main hall.

He just left, and the Emperor Xudu, who was purring in his stomach, came to have an appetite, and immediately called the palace slave and asked the palace slave to pass the meal again. At the same time, he also asked the other palace slaves to send him the pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and the notebook of the meditation sticker that was delivered to Yudu today......

The coachman dressed as the forbidden army of the Nine Shadows Country frequently raised his whip and whipped the beast souls pulling the carts, making them run in the rain and fog in pain.

The hooves of the beast stepped on the muddy road, splashing countless times.

The eaves that grew out of the doors kept the driver out of the dense raindrops falling from the sky, but they couldn't block the cold wind that was used in all directions.

So the coachman had put on his cloak and hood to protect him from the cold.

He continued to raise his whip in the wind and rain, urging the beast soul pulling the cart to speed up his pace.

The car pulled by the beast soul also turned its wheels sharply in the rain, and the black monkey in the carriage drove the car for the coachman for a long time, and Qinglan, who came to the carriage, had nothing to do, and was playing with the rock-paper-scissors that Xiao Shizhu taught them.

The seven or eight fungus people brought by Xiao Shizhu gathered around them and watched curiously. But seeing that the black monkey always wins less and loses more, he is already a little anxious to lose, and he will always grin involuntarily when punching, with a fierce face.

If it weren't for Xiao Shizhu's earnest teachings, this black monkey would still maintain its beast instinct, and would have pounced on it with its fangs and claws in its mouth to bite Qinglan.

And Xiao Shizhu, who was sitting cross-legged in the deepest part of the carriage, paid no attention to Qinglan and them, but to the notebook in his hand.

Although he was out of the palace, Xiao Shizhu didn't have much time to eat, drink and have fun. With so many fungus people, they just want them to send the scripts from all over the country to Xiao Shizhu as soon as possible.

After the transcript is approved, it can be sent out as soon as possible.

In order to ensure the normal operation of the Nine Shadows Kingdom.

Just as Xiao Shizhu finished reading the notebook in his hand, a fungus man entered it through the wall of the carriage, carrying a plugged bamboo tube behind him.

"My lord, the secret report of the Six Heavenly Continents. The rain on the fungus man was quickly absorbed by him when he took off the bamboo tube on his back.

The ghost of the fungus man, which has the characteristics of a plant, is even more refreshed and full of energy after absorbing the rainwater.

Xiao Shizhu put down the notebook in his hand, took the bamboo tube, broke the sealing wax at the mouth of the tube, took out the secret letter rolled up in it, and looked at it carefully under the soft light emitted by the luminous beads on the roof after unfolding it.

This secret letter was sent three days ago, and it came from the Xuanjiao secret agent lurking in the Six Heavens Continent. The payment office is just a code name, and even Xiao Shizhu doesn't know who this ghost's surname is.

However, because the mountains and rivers are far away, and they have to cross the sea, the information was only delivered to Yuque City today. After passing through the Xuanjiao headquarters, it was transferred to Xiao Shizhu's hands.

The content of the letter is that Liutianzhou has discovered the ghost cannon theft, and the initiator has been confirmed, it is the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom.

The content of these few dozens of words, Xiao Shizhu scratched his head a few times, inexplicable. Before this, he had secretly known that the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom had secretly received the assistance of the Nether Ghost Cannon, and the Northern Yin Dynasty had also secretly allied with it.

But in this case, the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom would still do such a thing?

Xiao Shizhu, who was thinking about this, rolled up the secret letter, put it back in the bamboo tube again, sealed the mouth of the tube, and then handed it to the fungus man who sent the letter: "Send it back to Yuque Palace to Lin Cong, let him check the ins and outs of this matter, and then report it." ”。

The wind and rain outside the car were more urgent, and the sound of the rain kept echoing in the sky and the earth.

The beast soul pulling the cart raced through the rain without stopping.

The hot air that puffed out of their nostrils drifted in the rain and fog with the wind.

Xiao Shizhu and the others had already left Yuque City for several hours at this time, but they had also run hundreds of miles.

"What time is it?".

After the fungus man left, Xiao Shizhu picked up his hand pot and looked at the car window.

Curtains hung on the carved car windows, so you couldn't see the wind and rain on a rainy day outside, and the low-hanging dark clouds.

Qinglan, who was not far away, stopped playing with the black monkey, looked at the timer sand pot on the side, and said back to Xiao Shizhu: "It's already Shen Shi, if the beast doesn't stop, we should be able to get to the vicinity of Shizhu City tomorrow morning." ”。

"Forget it, let's find a post house and rest overnight before leaving. Xiao Shizhu turned his head, glanced at the fungus people in the car, and looked at the fungus people with a slightly anxious gaze and asked, "Is there any new news over there in Dongyingzhou?"

He was concerned about the outbreak of the plague, no matter what, Xiao Shizhu didn't expect that the medical level of the underworld would be so poor, and he was actually afraid of a plague. As far as he knew, the plague was nothing more than the flu, the parasites, and the Black Death. If these things are placed in the human world, the modern medical level will not be worse than that of the underworld, for this plague, most of them already have corresponding antibiotics and vaccines in the human world before the outbreak, as well as antidotes.

But there are some relative antidotes for the plague in the underworld, but there is no vaccine, which Xiao Shizhu only learned about recently.

When questioning, he also thought that when the hostile forces in Dongyingzhou were resolved, he would take advantage of the rest and recuperation, and let the ghosts below develop their medical level and technology.

Otherwise, if it is in the future in the future, sudden natural disasters can make the Nine Shadows Kingdom ruin.

"It's not a big deal. After thinking about it, one of the fungus people stepped forward, jumped on Xiao Shizhu's shoulder, and whispered in his ear in a voice that only Xiao Shizhu could hear: "It's Lord Changqin, who was tested by Hu Qingping, the prince of the Fox Kingdom, at noon today." However, he showed homesickness as planned, and he also showed that he wanted to return home, and now Hu Qingping has completely believed him. ”。

Xiao Shizhu hummed and nodded.

All this was expected by him, even if the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom was eager to win over Changqin, as their internal response, they had to test and tempt first, which was reasonable.

This kind of thing is not in a hurry. Changqin would rather make the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom anxious, and it is better not to rush it. Otherwise, it will be easy to leave a flaw in the Qingqiu Fox Country.

"But Lord Changqin is leaving tomorrow, and the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom has not made any demands other than the current performance. After a pause, the fungus man frowned and said, "Lord Changqin is a little confused, I don't know what the next plan of the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom is?"

The voice was still very soft, just whispering in Xiao Shizhu's ear.

The Qingqiu Fox Country's current move also made the fungus man who reported the situation feel very confused and puzzled; the Qingqiu Fox Country had already shown its determination to win over Changqin, and suddenly it stopped moving forward with the plan, which made people always scratch their heads.

Xiao Shizhu was also confused for a while, but soon a flash of inspiration occurred in his mind, and he thought that this might be a plan of the Qingqiu Fox Country to put a long line to catch big fish.

Therefore, they were not in a hurry to assign any tasks to Changqin.

In this way, if Changqin really defected, it would be just an idle chess piece, and it would be difficult for the Nine Shadows Kingdom to discover and detect, and a nail had been quietly inserted into his heart.

In any case, it is very beneficial for the Qingqiu Fox Country.

"Huh. Xiao Shizhu smiled contemptuously and ordered to the fungus man: "Tell Changqin that no matter what the other party's next plan is, our plan will not change." Let him leave Qingqiu Mountain tomorrow as originally planned, and don't do anything to stay. ”。

The fungus man's face was still full of confusion.

He didn't know if Xiao Shizhu's order was reasonable?

But Xiao Shizhu knew that only in this way would he behave naturally and not be pretentious, and he would not leave any flaws in the Qingqiu Fox Country.

When the time comes, Changqin can smoothly counter the first army of the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom.

The fungus man didn't think much about it, jumped off Xiao Shizhu's shoulder, sat cross-legged beside him, concentrated his energy, and passed Xiao Shizhu's order to the fungus man beside Changqin word for word.

And Xiao Shizhu was silent and thought about it.

Judging from the general signs, the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom cherishes the chess piece of Changqin even more, otherwise it would not be so cautious, and even the plan of how to help Changqin hide his identity has been considered.

Xiao Shizhu suddenly thought, can he let Changqin play a greater role in this?
