The yin wind howled, blowing across the city, blowing the flag of the Nine Shadows Country planted on the wall again and again, bringing bursts of hula and sound.

After taking his explanation to heart, Black Impermanence Fan Wuxian thought for a moment under the deep groan, and said slowly: "Young master, these pirates have no rules to speak of, and the risk of cooperating with them is not small. ”。

"But they are good at naval warfare, as long as they are willing to do their bidding, and they can show their value in the coming war. Xiao Shizhu slowly shook his head and continued to raise his eyes to look out of the city: "And recently, the prestige of the Nine Shadows Kingdom has spread far to the Dongyi Continent and the Huangquan Sea, and many pirates who are unwilling to bear the infamy of bandits have all proposed to join the camps of all parties. However, as far as I know, except for our own country, the other ghost countries either have a low status before them, or hate them, and they have all robbed the merchant ships of their own ghost countries. So if we look at them as human beings, they will be more than willing to fight for us. ”。

"In that case, we have to use our military regulations to restrain them. Hei Wuchang listened and pondered, and only when Xiao Shizhu finished speaking, did he slowly speak: "Otherwise, they will be a group of rabble." ”。

"So that's the reason why I transferred you over, with you, a ghost who used to be a handsome ghost in the Northern Yin Dynasty, it shouldn't be difficult to teach them how to understand the rules. Xiao Shizhu then turned his head and smiled at Hei Impermanence.

And Hei Wuchang showed a smile that was more ugly than crying, and this can't be blamed on Fan Wuxi, he was born with stiff facial muscles and can't laugh, so laughing is more ugly than crying.

"In the future, Emperor Xudu will definitely regret it. Xiao Shizhu patted him on the shoulder again, looked at the distant hills and rivers outside the city, and said slowly: "I regret provoking us who once looked down on the souls of people." ”......

In the sky above Yuque, the sky is getting darker and darker, and in the blink of an eye, the dark clouds have covered the clear sky that was blue a moment ago.

The wind blew the strange flowers and plants in the city and in the sinkhole. Although it had not yet rained, the clouds had begun to thunder and lightning, reflecting the heavens and the earth in a flickering light.

The ghost mother finished reviewing the transcript that Xiao Fuling had no right to decide, and went to coax Xiao Fucha, who woke up after a while. It's just that she has always been preoccupied, and her brows are always slightly wrinkled.

After hearing that Emperor Xudu sent a large army to the east and went straight to Dongyizhou, and the target was still her husband Xiao Shizhu, the ghost mother kept going up and down. Even though she immediately secretly transferred troops to support Dongyizhou, and sent a large number of newly produced firearms and ammunition to Dongyizhou in batches by transport ship, she was still worried.

Once the founding father of the Northern Yin Dynasty, she knew how brave and good the army in the hands of Emperor Xudu was. In the previous battle of Shuoyue Island, the Nine Shadows Army had the most advanced firearms in the underworld, but they all used the tragic casualties and Xiao Shizhu's tricks to exchange for the final victory.

And now, the Northern Yin Dynasty, which has suffered the loss of firearms in the Nine Shadows Kingdom, has also begun to equip the army with all kinds of firearms, from the Netherworld Ghost Cannon to the Ten Thousand Flames Flying Sand, the firearms owned by the Northern Yin Dynasty have begun to be produced in large quantities and then equipped with the army.

As Xiao Shizhu once said, the battle will only get tougher and tougher in the future. And what the ghost mother is worried about is not whether the war that will take place in Dongyi Continent in a short time will be able to win the Nine Shadows Kingdom. But in the tragic battle that is about to take place, will Xiao Shizhu be able to survive unscathed?

The nurse who specially took care of the child for her, the tomb ghost crane stood aside, stared at the ghost mother's slight frown for a long time, and slowly asked: "Mother of the country, do you have anything to worry about?"

The ghost mother who was holding the merchant's drum and teasing Xiao Fu tea in the cradle came to her senses from her stunnedness, smiled slightly, and said disapprovingly: "No, maybe I've been too tired recently." ”。

The crane answered, and did not delve further.

"Help me take a look at the tea, I'll go out for a walk. After a while, the ghost mother stood up, handed the drum in her hand to the tomb ghost He'er, and walked out of the building by herself.

When he arrived at the door, Chen Ruo, who was waiting by the door, greeted him and hurriedly asked, "Where are you going to the Mother of the Nation?" Do you need Chen Ruo to accompany you?"

"No, I'll go walk around the backyard. Saying this, the ghost mother walked straight to the bottom of the jade steps, stood in front of the building, turned around, and walked towards the back of the building by herself.

The wind gusted, blowing the ghostly grass on both sides of the cobblestone path under her feet, and the inky black bamboos from the notes to the leaves.

The ghost mother lotus walked towards the end of the path. At the end of this stone path, there is a single-storey jade pagoda that looks like a pavilion among the rockeries with strange flowers and plants and natural changes in the external situation, which are both exquisite and delicate, and steep and majestic.

As with all the buildings in the Jade Que Palace, from the tiles at the top to the abutments below, from the beams to the pillars, they are made of fine jade.

The base of the tower made of yellow dragon jade is engraved with all kinds of legends of the underworld, including the creation of the ancient gods, the battle of gods and demons, and how the ancient gods built the heavenly pillar to the world.

Each picture is meticulously crafted, the pattern is vivid, and there is a sense of imminent calling.

The jade is made of jade tiles to cover the roof, and a small pavilion is added to the top, which enshrines an ancient god with a human body and a snake tail.

The ghost mother walked to the front of the tower, and after the forbidden army guarding the place saluted her, they slowly pushed open the two jade gates that were closed.

As the gate unfolded, the dusty furnishings in the tower behind the door were slowly presented in front of the ghost mother as the gate opened. In addition to the jade floor tiles and jade walls, only the shrine on the table in the depths, as well as the lanterns, incense burners, and fruit offerings in front of the shrines.

In the shrine with a mountain-like roof, the number of ornaments, and the number of ornaments, arches, and painted patterns, the statues of Xiao Shizhu's parents are enshrined.

Nuwa and Fu Xi, both of whom are human bodies and snake tails, stand quietly in the shrine, Fu Xi holds a moment, Nuwa holds a gauge, and in the faint light of the ever-bright lamp, you can see a faint smile on the corners of their slightly upturned mouths, so amiable.

This is the ancestral hall that Xiao Shizhu gathered craftsmen to build privately after entering Yuque City, which was specially used to worship his parents. Before he fell out with Emperor Xudu, this was an absolute secret of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, and Xiao Shizhu did not hold a sacrifice with great fanfare.

But after falling out with Emperor Xudu, he once held two large-scale sacrifices here, and the sacrifice fell once at four o'clock, so that the ministers and hundreds of officials and the ghosts of the Nine Shadows Kingdom knew about his parents' background, and at the same time consolidated his dominance.

The ghost mother walked in without saying a word, and the two forbidden armies joined forces to close the gate again.

The double-layered lotus-shaped lantern emits a faint glow. And in the incense burner in the middle of the ever-bright lamp, there is a fragrance that has not yet burned out on the sacrificial officials, and there is a faint green smoke floating up on the dark red incense head, which is scattered in the air, shrouding a layer of haze in the shrine.

The wind outside the tower was getting louder and louder, and through the closed gate, the ghost mother could hear their whistling.

She stood alone in front of the offering table, picked up three sticks of incense from the table, and then lit the incense with a bean-sized flame in the ever-bright lamp. The ghost mother solemnly held her hands and bowed respectfully three times to the idol in the shrine, then stepped forward and inserted the incense into the incense burner.

Then the ghost mother took two steps back, knelt down on the futon in front of the offering table, and looked up at the idol in the shrine through the curling green smoke not far away.

"Parents-in-law, I haven't come to see you for a long time, your second granddaughter was born, and she is very healthy. When she's older, I'll bring her to incense you. After a moment of silence, the ghost mother's red lips opened lightly, and she said to herself to the two statues in the shrine: "Xiao Shizhu is also very good now, and now he is fighting in Dongyizhou, so he can't come to incense the second elder every day." Thank you for your understanding. ”。

The ghost mother spoke very slowly, and her tone was flat and unwavering, as if she was muttering.

After saying this, she stared at the idol and was silent for a long time, and the apprehension in her heart did not subside because of the calming effect of the fragrance and the amiable smile of the idol, but became heavier and heavier.

Emperor Xudu's million-strong army is gathering, and the army of the Nine Shadows Kingdom in Dongyi Continent is only more than 500,000, and most of them are still surrendered, and there is no tacit understanding with the army of the Nine Shadows Kingdom. Moreover, there are two counties of land to be guarded, and they must be dispersed to various places.

However, the million-strong army of Emperor Xudu was gathered together, as long as they attacked any point of it, the defenders of the Nine Shadows Kingdom in any place in Dongyi Continent would face an enemy more than ten times stronger. And Xiao Shizhu is in Dongyizhou.

Because of this, the ghost mother is uneasy in her heart.

She was sweating in her palms, and after kneeling on the ground for a long time in silence, she slowly spoke again: "But the old ghost of Xudu has gathered millions of troops this time and rushed straight to Dongyi Continent, and his target is your son, my husband." ”。

"I once sent a message to Xiao Shizhu, asking him to come back quickly and take refuge. But he refused. After a pause, the ghost mother stared at the idol behind the light smoke, and then said, "He is your child, and you should all know him." He is like this, his naturally fun-loving heart is always full of courage to dare to challenge and take risks. And always enjoy it. ”。

At this, the ghost mother looked at the idol and laughed.

It's just that the nervousness in her heart still poured into her ghost blood, making every pore and every vein of her tremble slightly.

"He insisted on staying, and we did what we had to do. Moreover, Xiao Shizhu is also actively preparing for war in Dongyizhou. The ghost mother licked the corners of her mouth that she had been talking for too long, and was a little chapped, and with great sincerity, she stared at the two statues and pleaded respectfully: "Father-in-law and mother-in-law, if you have a spirit in the sky, you will manifest your spirit." I don't want Xiao Shizhu to win this battle, but I ask him to be safe and sound, and don't have any worries about his life. ”。

After speaking, she bent down and bowed her head three times to the idol in the shrine. When she raised her head again, her forehead under her slightly inward bangs was already slightly red.

"Please, my father-in-law and mother-in-law, I must bless Xiao Shizhu to return safely. The ghost mother, who was staring at the idol again, whispered: "If Xiao Shizhu can return safely, Yu'er is willing to clean the shrine of the ancestral hall for you every day when she is in the palace, and she will never be lazy." ”。

After the green smoke, the smiles of Fu Xi and Nuwa seemed to be a little clearer.
