Storms and rains fall endlessly from the sky.

The rain curtain fell on the small building on the shore where the king of Yama and the national teacher Yingying were located.

It is a small stone and wood building with three eaves of the pavilion type, with two floors above, each floor is octagonal and eight-sided, and the dripping water on the eaves and corners in the wind and rain is non-stop, and it is continuously poured on the sloped roof of the bottom quadrangular shape.

As soon as Ying Ying, the national teacher in the house, finished speaking, King Yama breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, he has been emaciated these days. Now that the ghost doctor and ghost medicine that rushed to help here have arrived, he can also relieve some of his burden with peace of mind.

Ying Ying, the national teacher who was already proficient in medical skills and medical arrays, commanded the treatment of the plague, which reassured King Yama.

King Yama naturally had no objection, and immediately nodded his head without hesitation, and responded.

"After receiving the message from you, the commander, and knowing the types and details of the plague here, I have not been idle in those days at sea. The national teacher Ying Ying took a sip of tea and said, "We used the ghost medicine we carried to refine the elixir for the treatment of this ghost disease and plague. After a while, he also asked King Yama to arrange his subordinates to distribute all these elixirs, so that the garrison here would have one ghost a day. ”。

King Yama nodded silently, but did not hesitate in the slightest.

The division of labor and cooperation made the previous anxious things suddenly simpler.

"The ghost doctor I brought with me will be working after a short break of a few hours. Then, the national teacher Yingying said to the king of Yama: "Please also ask the commander to urge the ghost doctors under your command to compile the illness of the sick ghost soldiers into a document and hand it over to us, so that we can better use medicine." ”。

"I've already arranged all of this in advance, and I haven't let the mountain garrison go down the mountain recently, nor have I let him go up the mountain. King Yama put down his teacup, and also furrowed his furrowed brows, and said, "It is best for the fleet and crew brought by the national master to stay in the harbor for a while first, wait for the plague to be completely purified, and then let them leave." ”。

"Well, don't worry, Lord Dongyue, who is still behind, has already informed the crew and the helm of this situation before coming. The national teacher Yingying also put down the teacup, stood up, and said, "Please also ask the marshal to work tirelessly, now take me to see the infected soldiers first." ”。

The chair under the buttocks of the national teacher Yingying has not yet been hot, and she is about to start work in a hurry.

The epidemic is ferocious, and there is indeed no room for slackness.

The national teacher Yingying didn't dare to slack off, and she took the initiative to invite Yingying to come, and she had to make some achievements.

And this place is an important strategic place of the Nine Shadows Kingdom in Dongyingzhou, which can be attacked and retreated, and can be defended, and the danger can be guarded.

The soldiers of the Nine Shadows Kingdom cannot be lost here, otherwise the Nine Shadows Kingdom may soon lose control of this place due to the loss of combat power, and human lives are at stake, and innocent soldiers cannot be allowed to die of the plague again.

"National teacher, why don't you take a break, the journey is tiring, and the ship is very bumpy at sea, so you must not have a good rest, very tired. King Yama looked at the national teacher Yingying with concern, and hurriedly persuaded: "When all the medicines on the ship are unloaded from the ship, you can start working again." ”。

Anyway, the medicine that was missing arrived, and the plague spread here was not incurable, and King Yama felt that it was nothing to let the national teacher Yingying take a little rest.

"It is better to treat the seriously ill sergeant first, and immediately after diagnosing the condition, he will prescribe the right medicine and treat it. When their illness is alleviated, I will rest. As she said this, the national teacher Ying Ying was already pacing towards the gate.

King Yama saw that the national teacher Yingying had made up his mind, so he didn't do much to dissuade him. just called his lieutenant general and asked him to inform the military cook, cook more delicious food, and feast the national teacher Yingying and the sergeants, ghost doctors and sailors who came with her.

The large peach trees on the top of the mountain, with their wide canopy of leafy branches, tightly cover the entire mountain, blocking the dense dark clouds hanging low above the summit, and most of the raindrops.

The raindrops seeping through the branches and leaves slowly fell into the mountains, gradually soaking the shrubs, earth and rocks in the mountains, as well as the roofs and courtyard walls of the barracks.

Yingying, the national teacher who had just stepped out of the door, the spirit snake on the top of the staff in her hand spit out yin qi, gathered on the top of her head but did not disperse, and strictly covered the rain falling above her head.

The other Su Tianju disciples who accompanied him also carried out the ghost qi in their bodies, overflowed along the acupoints, gathered on top of their heads, and turned into an invisible barrier to block the crackling rain.

The king of Yama was trouble-free, and before he went out, a soldier held up an umbrella for him and raised it above his head.

"National teacher, please come with me. King Yama took a few quick steps forward, walked in front of the national teacher Yingying and them, and led the national teacher Yingying towards the mountain......

The slow and melodious eight bells echoed in the Yuque Palace.

The crisp and loud bell resounded in all directions, bringing bursts of echoes.

Today, because of the noon dynasty, Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother both canceled their lunch break. Even lunch was eaten with the ministers of the deliberations at the Heavenly Power Hall while deliberating.

It wasn't until the bell rang for a long time that the deliberations were all settled.

The court meeting dispersed, and the ministers withdrew from the hall one after another.

After a while, the hall became empty and silent.

Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother also came to the back, and after passing through the apse, they came to the back of the main hall, which is surrounded by clear and clear water, and the emerald green and turquoise are the palaces surrounded by jade and jade shoots.

In the clear water, there are springs and fish jumping.

And this magnificent palace behind the Tianquan Palace, whether it is the main hall or the east and west side halls, as well as the apse, are all built with black jade as the material. This is true of the beams, columns, and walls, as well as the long stone steps of the high pedestal.

Every inch of jade is dark and bright, hard and fine in texture, warm and full, and full of aura. For thousands of years, these silky wisps of spiritual energy have been born and circulated endlessly with the help of the rich yin qi underground.

All the aura gathers but does not disperse, circulate in the walls and beams and columns, forming invisible barriers in the vertical and horizontal circles, attached to the walls and columns, so that the whole hall is warm in winter and cool in summer, which is very comfortable.

The palace is not only magnificent on the outside, but also beautifully decorated on the inside. In the main hall, the ceiling is carved with deep patterns, and the floor is covered with a carpet of brocade floral patterns woven with silk threads made of yellow dragon neck hair and long back hair.

The inner and outer pillar bases are all topaz carved into the exquisite dragon pillar base, the dragon body is coiled, staring at the strong claws, although small and majestic.

In the middle of the depths, across the wall is a generous and exquisite twelve-screen fluorite screen. In the middle of each screen, there is a long red feather, and nine dragon head carps are carved all over, and the fish eyes are inlaid with colorful gems, which is smart and gorgeous.

On both sides are eight feet five inches high, similar to Luo wings, carrying Luo Shu Yinyao stone dragon horse stone carving. They all raise their hooves and tread the waves, holding their heads high.

In front of the screen, there are two five-screen thrones carved from dark black black chalcedony, with four legs and feet in the shape of long tusks and angry eyes, and a long thick elephant trunk rolled up high, implying that there is an elephant in peace.

The backrest of the throne and the five screens on both sides are decorated with complex carved patterns such as clouds, dragons and phoenixes, the middle of the screen in the middle is embedded with a jade ring with a diameter of one foot, the double-sided openwork curved coiled variant flying dragon, the ring is decorated with flowing flying scroll-shaped cloud patterns and phoenix bird patterns, and the whole instrument is mixed as a whole, the dragon and phoenix dance of the clouds and clouds are lifelike, and the atmosphere is full of richness and luxury.

On the left and right sides, there are eighteen armchairs carved from delicate jade, warm color and moist cyan ginger silk jade, which are arranged on both sides and are opposed in pairs.

The height is the same as the throne in the center, and the inner side of the backrest and armrests are open-carved with fairy grass patterns and mythical animal patterns.

In the middle of every two chairs, there are three bent legs and four legs with a square face and an embossed moire under the girdle.

These things were originally used by the ancient gods during their deliberations, and they are all very old.

After the Yuque Palace was returned to Xiao Shizhu, Xiao Shizhu used these tens of thousands of years of furniture stored in the palace.

For Xiao Shizhu, the difference between respect and inferiority will never be deliberately emphasized, in such a place, the minister can sit with him on an equal footing and discuss matters together, which Xiao Shizhu is very happy to do.

In the past, when there was a noon dynasty, Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother often came here to work after the court, and sometimes they would discuss some military affairs with the ghost ministers and ghost generals here on a small scale.

When busy, he will even be busy here until late at night, and then rest in the apse.

After the Nine Shadows Kingdom was in Yuque City, the capital of the country, half of the government and military orders were also issued from this place.

Today, Xiao Shizhu came here again after the afternoon and sat on the throne in the depths of the main hall with a yawn, and Qinglan followed, muttering something in his ear.

Immediately followed into the main hall were the ghost mother and Lu Wu, as well as Chunyun.

After a few ghosts took their seats, after yawning, Xiao Shizhu, who was not tired, said bluntly to Qinglan: "Bring him in." ”。

"Who?" asked the ghost mother who was sitting next to Xiao Shizhu casually.

Chunyun and Lu Wu also sat down left and right in front of the couple.

And Tengu Daika, who didn't know where to hang out for a long time, also stuck out her tongue, gently wagged her tail a few times, and walked in.

The soles of the dog's paws make a subtle clattering sound as they stride.

"Qin Qiming. Xiao Shizhu did not shy away from it, and after answering bluntly, he reached out and touched the huge dog head of the Tengu Dahua standing in front of him.

As his broad palms rubbed back and forth, Tengu Daika squinted slightly, enjoying it very comfortably, and wagged his fluffy tail again.

"Big flower, sit down. As soon as the ghost mother gave the order, the dog obediently stepped aside, squatted down, and looked straight ahead with his chest raised.

Dahua, who was still well-behaved before, suddenly showed a fierce light in his eyes and a fierce face. Although it does not bark its teeth and roar, it is also majestic.

It waited silently beside its master, looking directly at the open door of the main hall.

Chen Ruo and Xun Xiang walked in, and after serving tea to Xiao Shizhu and Lu Wu, they also stepped aside.

"My lord, there is something in the court that I haven't had time to tell you. Chunyun, who took the teacup and picked it up, did not rush to taste the tea, but looked at Xiao Shizhu: "Wu Xiaohui sent a message that the counterinsurgency operation has ended, and the bandit leader has been captured, but his arm has been broken. And under the command of General Wu Xiaoshen, only twelve people were slightly injured, and the rest of the sergeants who participated in the suppression of bandits were all safe and sound. ”。

"The bandit leader has no worries about his life. Xiao Shizhu asked casually again, carelessly.

He had already expected the result of Wu Xiaoshen's victory, although Wu Xiaoshen had only brought more than a hundred ghost soldiers, they were all well-trained and well-equipped elite soldiers of the Nine Shadows Kingdom.

Coupled with the foreign aid of the ghost captive Shi Ben, even though the terrain of Yunling is complex and the mountains are high and the roads are dangerous, the end of the rebels is also doomed.

From the beginning of Wu Xiaoshen's dispatch, the rebels only ended in destruction and defeat, and Xiao Shizhu was not worried about the unfavorable things happening at all.

He just cares now, whether he is still alive if he is still alive if he is pretending to be or is really Du Ziren's illegitimate son.

"Yes, after timely treatment, the life of the bandit leader is worry-free. Now twelve hours a day, there is a watchful eye on him to prevent him from escaping or committing suicide. Chunyun nodded slowly in the soft sound of Lu Wu drinking tea, and said: "Xiao Ash wants to escort him into Beijing immediately, but he still has to track him down in the south, whether there are any remnants of the rebels, and he can't get away for a while, so he asks us to send troops south to receive the bandit leader." ”。

"No, I've already sent someone. Xiao Shizhu, who took a sip of tea, put down the pot in his hand and said, "On the day I came back, the person who took over the bandit leader had been sent out. ”。

Xiao Shizhu has always liked to take precautions, and since he has won or lost Wu Xiaoshen, he has naturally arranged the next step in advance.

"You better hurry up and arrange the training of sergeants from all over the world. Xiao Shizhu, who paused, was not surprised by this, but just nodded in response, and said: "Just because the peace treaty was signed, the ghost soldiers can't be relaxed. ”。

"Yes. Chunyun replied again.

"In the next few days, I will see the training plans of ghost soldiers in various places. Then, Xiao Shizhu said: "The detailed plan, as well as the specific plan for next year's change of guard." ”。

"Yes, the minister will bring these to me as soon as possible. Chunyun replied again.

It's like a small talk, and a few things are decided in a few sentences.

Just when Chunyun finished speaking, Qinglan, who had been gone for a long time, came back with a soul man.

The middle-aged human soul man has long eyebrows and thin eyes, wears a crown on his head, and wears a wide-sleeved robe with a belt around his waist. His temples are a little gray, but his face is still plump.

Qinglan took him to the middle, looked at Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother, stood still and bowed, and said, "King, **, Qin Qiming brought it." ”。

After saying that, he stepped aside.

And the human soul man also saluted, but he always hung his head slightly, not daring to look directly at Xiao Shizhu and the ghost people, and said at the same time: "The minister Qin Qiming has seen the lord and seen the **." ”。

"Look up. Xiao Shizhu smiled and said, "Sit down and talk." ”。

Anyway, Qin Qiming is here, so Xiao Shizhu naturally doesn't go to another place, just meet Qin Qiming here.

"No. The man named Qin Qiming looked left and right after answering, and then chose Lu Wu's side to sit down. But he sat down in a place separated from Lu Wu's two positions, and he definitely didn't dare to sit next to Lu Wu.

Maybe staying away from his boss and the king can make Qin Qiming not feel nervous.

The gold in the main hall was splendid, gorgeous and rich, even if Qin Qiming was curious, he didn't dare to look around.

But. Xiao Shizhu saw that although this person was a little nervous, his face was as usual, his eyes were not flustered, but he was quite calm and very pleased.

Whether it is the city god, the county city god or the county city god, it is also the official of Xiao Shizhu's feudal territory, and the official of one parent. And Xiao Shizhu has always been the condition for selecting this kind of ghost official, in addition to ability, it is the state of mind.

If he is panicked, or the kind of ghost official who makes too many small movements, he will never let this kind of ghost be a city god and govern a ghost town or ghost county.

"Qin Qiming, I have seen your political achievements. After the ghost mother asked Chen Ruo to serve tea to Qin Qiming, Xiao Shizhu looked at Qin Qiming who was sitting in the armchair, and said slowly: "You have been a county god for two years, and you have not made any great achievements, but you have also governed the county well, all walks of life in the county are operating normally, food production has also been slightly improved, and the public security problem is also excellent every year." ”。

Taking a sip of the sweet tea in the hand pot, Xiao Shizhu inadvertently glanced at Lu Wu, then looked at Qin Qiming, and continued to say slowly: "And for the official to be honest, refuse to recruit power and bribes, refuse to compete for money and flattery, and strive for justice, these are all good." ”。

Lu Wu smiled awkwardly when he heard this, but the ghost mother beside Xiao Shizhu looked at her husband, and inadvertently smiled, and secretly guessed in her heart: "I see, Xiao Shizhu actually didn't shy away from Lu Wu, and insisted on meeting Qin Qiming here." ”。
