The flames flickered on the torches, and the rock wall behind them was blackened.

"Especially this thunder crystal, I once heard my father say that the thunder crystal in the world is called mercury thunder acid, and it needs to be prepared, which is not as convenient as our underworld. Especially in the Northern Underworld Sea of the Netherworld, any reef can be mined with this white and shiny needle-like crystal, comparable to the human world. Xiao Fuling said this, and looked at the second child on the opposite side again: "It is not only a poison harmful to the human soul, but also an important component of charge and ***** in China's firearms."

"The demon god among the ancient gods discovered the use of this thing thousands of years ago, and thus developed a large number of firearms, and as an old ghost, you know this legend more or less. Xiao Fuling looked at the second child who was trembling, and even Tongren was trembling, and continued to say unhurriedly: "But the Northern Yin Dynasty doesn't know the specific recipe, and has been spying on the secrets of our country's firearms, which must have been heard by you." And if you write the recipe for these firearms, it is impossible for anyone else to give it except for the Northern Yin Dynasty. ”。

"Lord Weng, Lord Weng. The small ones don't dare, the small ones really don't dare. The second child on the opposite side hurriedly got up after Xiao Lingling's voice landed, and then knelt on the ground again, and kept kowtowing to Xiao Lingling and said: "The small one is at most to sell some minerals with the Qingqiu fox ghosts to make some money, and I really don't dare to collude with the Beiyin Dynasty." Reselling minerals confiscates the family property at most, and killing me as a ghost will not harm the innocent family, and colluding with the Beiyin Dynasty is a felony of the Nine Clans, even if it is to give ten lives to the little one, the little one will not dare to do it. ”。

When he was justifying, the second child knocked his head with a bang. The iron shackles on his hands and feet also shook constantly, and the sound of clattering under friction kept ringing.

The second child, whose forehead turned red in the blink of an eye, was full of fear and panic.

"That's not from the truth, what are you writing this for?" After letting the second child kowtow more than a dozen times in a row, Xiao Fuling said in a deep voice: "Who is it for?"

The second child who was kneeling on the ground stopped kowtowing, but he still knelt on the cold floor of the prison, just straightened his waist slightly, faced Xiao Fuling who was just a door away, and replied in a low voice: "It was two months ago, the ghost of Qingqiu Fox Country came to me and said that it is difficult to open mines in their country, and it is too slow to mine only with shovels and chisels, so let me see if I can study the formula from my country's mining ** and copy it to Qingqiu Fox Country, so that they can also make the same **." I promised that if I could figure out a recipe for it, they would pay me 50,000 gold. ”。

Up to now, the second child can't hide from dying early or late anyway, where do you dare to hide it, let alone deceive Xiao Fuling. Otherwise, his family will be implicated. So without thinking, he told everything he knew.

"Why didn't you say anything about your crimes before?" but Xiao Fuling, who was still suspicious, immediately questioned.

"It was never done, and I almost forgot about it, and when I confessed the crime, it wasn't a big deal, so I forgot about it. The second child, who was trembling all over, was driven by the desire to survive, and hurriedly replied: "Master Weng, if you don't believe it, you can ask the fox ghost boss of the restaurant, this task is given to me by him." ”。

According to the second child's previous confession, it is true that his upline is this fox ghost boss. And that old fox ghost has not been executed yet, and the Nine Shadows Kingdom is keeping him to confuse the enemy, and now he is still a death row prisoner secretly held by the Nine Shadows Kingdom, and the treatment is exactly the same as that of the second child.

Xiao Fuling only needs to find that fox ghost to verify it, and she will know if the second child in front of her is lying.

"Second child, you should know what the fate of lying to me is?" Xiao Fuling, who stood up slowly, looked at the second child who was still kneeling on the ground, and said coldly: "It's not just you who will die when the time comes, your family, the unborn child in your concubine's belly, I promise to let them die in front of you, and they will die unforgettable." ”。

"The villain doesn't dare, the villain doesn't dare. The second child shook his head like a rattle, and even defended himself, and he was about to cry out in a hurry.

He knew the law of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, although he would not implicate his family if he broke the law, but if he committed treason and concealed his crime and did not report it, Xiao Shizhu and Xiao Fuling would not hesitate to use the long-abandoned joint sitting.

Moreover, most of the ghost people in the Nine Shadows Kingdom will decide to applaud and applaud at the same time, gritting their teeth and spitting on the corpses of the second child and his family, throwing vegetable leaves and stones.

Xiao Fuling no longer paid attention to the second child, and took Fan Jinhong to turn back towards the way he came.

As for the piece of paper, it was also put away by Xiao Ling.

And Xiao Fuling walked forward, thinking about how to ask the fox ghost for a while, so as not to give the other party a chance to lie.

Unconsciously, she followed Fan Jinhong for a long time, and finally walked out of the gloomy dungeon.

Once again basked in the winds and hot sunshine of the Howling Plains.

Xiao Lingling stopped not far from the dungeon door, in the shadow of a secluded corner in the yamen, avoiding the hot sunlight in the air.

"Master Weng, this is a lie, right?" Fan Jinhong, who also followed, recalled the words and deeds of the second child, and said thoughtfully: "If Lord Thrush hadn't found that note, this matter might have been hidden." ”。

Xiao Fuling shook her head slowly after hearing the words, and said thoughtfully: "I don't see it, but the person who explained what he did didn't tell the second child what his purpose was." They used a lie to cover up the real purpose of the matter. ”。

Saying these words, Xiao Fuling vaguely knew that behind this matter, there might be something hidden in the Northern Yin Dynasty and the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom, and he was secretly engaged in it without his knowledge.

Just like this criminal gang, only a part of the rare minerals resold were left in the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom, and the rest were secretly transferred to the area under the jurisdiction of the Beiyin Dynasty. However, none of the ghosts in this criminal gang knew why the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom would do this. The guess is that the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom knows that the Nine Shadows State has ghost officials and ghost officials, and secretly purchases all kinds of resources in various places under the rule of the Northern Yin Dynasty, so that they can sell these minerals to the Nine Shadows Kingdom again.

Based on this, Xiao Fuling still felt that the second child was not lying, but she still decided not to believe it easily, and first asked the second child's upline to prove that the second child was drawing conclusions.

So, Xiao Fuling didn't continue to think anymore, and beckoned to Fan Jinhong: "Let's go, let's go to the Nancheng dungeon where he is imprisoned, and the fox ghost of the second child will go online in a while." ”。

After saying this, Xiao Fuling stepped out and walked in the direction outside the yamen of the county government. Fan Jinhong had no objections, holding the handle of the long knife at his waist, trotted two steps to catch up with Xiao Fuling, who had already walked a distance, and went to the dungeon in the south of the city with her......

Near Qingqiu Mountain, the heaven and earth within a radius of 100 miles are still dark. Dense raindrops, constantly pouring down from the thick dark clouds in the sky.

There were long-lasting rain and mist between the heavens and the earth, and it was gray in the darkness.

In a mural grotto painted with fox ghost legends on a rock wall on Qingqiu Mountain, there are also twelve golden pillars, which form a circle around the edge of the vault of the grotto, supporting the roof of the grotto.

On each golden pillar is carved a fox demon that is running and soaring into the sky.

Holding the scepter, Changqin stood in the middle of the golden pillar, facing the depths of the grotto, sitting on a throne carved from a tall piece of white jade.

The back of the seat is a foot high, majestic and magnificent. The top is carved with a spirit fox with its head held high and its head raised and roaring. The groin also has nine long tails, which hang down the back of the chair.

At the front end of the wide armrests on both sides of the chair, there are also two stone-carved foxes, but with nine long tails together.

All of them are vivid and lifelike, and they are also carved from the same piece of jade as the treasure chair, and they are already one with the treasure chair.

The Qingqiu Fox King, who was sitting on this heavy throne, was looking at the gift list sent by Changqin and the invitation written by Xiao Shizhu himself.

Looking around a little bored, I saw that most of the ministers of the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom around were the same as the Qingqiu Fox King, all of whom were fox ghosts with fox faces and fox tails.

But after all, it's a fox ghost settlement.,And manage the ghost country in power.。 Whether it's a minister or a public, it's normal to be mostly fox ghosts.

And Changqin should have arrived a long time ago, but when he left Yuque City, he secretly received three tips from Xiao Shizhu. The first trick was to be opened as soon as he reached Dongying Continent.

Inside is Xiao Shizhu's order to Changqin, after Changqin arrived in Dongyingzhou, now Jiuyouguo will stay in the local garrison camp for ten days, rest well, and go to the fatigue of the journey. Then wander around and go to the Qingqiu Fox Country.

Although Changqin didn't know what Xiao Shizhu was doing this, he still did it, and after staying for ten days, he set off slowly, so that the fox Lan's codex actually arrived in the hands of the Qingqiu Fox King before him.

After a long time, the Qingqiu Fox King on the throne finished reading the list and confirmed that the invitation letter was indeed written by Xiao Shizhu's own handwriting, and then slowly put down these two things.

As a vassal state of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, the Qingqiu Fox King often exchanged letters with Xiao Shizhu. Therefore, he still recognized Xiao Shizhu's handwriting.

After seeing that the handwriting on the invitation card was correct, it was indeed Xiao Shizhu's handwriting, the Qingqiu Fox King exchanged a look with his son beside him, and had already decided to go to the Nine Shadows Country.

"Let the Nine Shadows King break the cost, and it will be hard work. The Qingqiu Fox King smiled and leaned forward slightly, slowly lowered his head, saluted the Changqin opposite, and said to Changqin politely and respectfully: "I am tired to accept my thanks and blessings to him for the time being for the King of the Nine Shadows, and I will definitely convey to the King of the Nine Shadows when I go back, and my country will always be the most friendly and solid ally of the Nine Shadows Kingdom." The mountains and the earth are cracking, the heavens are falling, and my ghost people and I will never betray the King of the Nine Shadows and your country. ”。

"Well, it's just a matter of hands. Changqin also smiled slightly, nodded and agreed: "I will definitely convey these words to my lord truthfully on behalf of you, the king." ”。

The tone is very calm and there is no condescending in the slightest.

This made the Qingqiu Fox King on the opposite side feel very comfortable, and he became more and more determined to go to the Nine Shadows Country in person.

"By the way, is the Nine Shadows King okay lately, how is his health?" The Qingqiu Fox King on the opposite side immediately asked, "It must be very difficult to manage such a big country." ”。

He knew that Hu Lan had gotten the cotton ball with Xiao Shizhu's blood, and judging from the cotton ball, Xiao Shizhu was injured before he came out of the Yellow Spring, let alone the Dao of the Emperor Xudu.

So the Qingqiu Fox King deliberately asked this, just to see if Hu Lan was tricked. Also on a whim.

As he said this, he quickly looked up and down at the long qin on the opposite side with an interested gaze.

When Changqin heard this, he replied to the Qingqiu Fox King without thinking about it: "Thank you Qingqiu Fox King, my father-in-law is in good health and has good energy." ”。
