[1041] blood capital
On the Tianquan Hall where topaz is a golden pillar, it is solemn.
When the jewels appeared, the eyes of all the ghosts gathered on the box that burst out of the jewels. Although they were already on top of the jeweled hall, they were still curious, what did the Qingqiu Fox King bring?
The few ghosts who were close could see it clearly, and they could see the treasure in the box clearly.
One of them is a pair of stone carvings carved from red cloud crystals born from the flames of the underworld and magma. The bouquet of folded branches composed of exotic flowers in the house such as the flower of the other side and the flower of Nirvana is vivid and unique, and the carving is exquisite, and the strange flower is carved vividly.
Among the flowers, there are also several shawls of jade connected by clusters of flowers, and the dancing girls with fluttering clothes are stretched, and the waves are rolling under their feet. It's like dancing in the midst of flowers.
Chunyun and Lu Wu, who were ghosts who had read all kinds of classics, recognized it after a few glances, this thing was a stone sculpture that had mysteriously disappeared for a long time when the ancient gods perishedβthe pregnant object of the gods.
It is said that the flowers in the stone carving are not dancing girls, but only the Virgin of All Things, and all the women of the ancient gods. They use dance to perform magic, yin qi generates sunshine, and under their feet is a thousand flowers blooming, and at the same time giving birth to all things.
This thing was carved by the first soul who learned the carving technique from the ancient gods in the era of the ancient gods, and watched the scenes of the ancient gods giving birth to all things.
It has been tens of millions of years now. If there is a museum in the Netherworld, this thing is eligible to be displayed inside.
In Xiao Shizhu's words, it is not too much to charge ten taels of silver for a ticket.
The other thing is a fist-sized Five Elements Inspiration Stone, this kind of sedimentary rock in the Netherworld has been underground for thousands of years, and it has long gathered the Qi of the Five Elements to store in it, and it can be brought to any ghost, and the aura in it can make it full of spirits. And the cobblestone stone surface is covered with naturally formed bamboo leaf-like textures. The bamboo leaves on the texture are varied, the patterns are distributed, and the simple and elegant are slightly delicate and lovely.
And most of the jewels come from this piece of spirit stone.
The Qingqiu Fox King chose this object as a meeting gift, precisely because of the texture of these bamboo leaves, which also alludes to the name of Xiao Shizhu's caryophyllus.
Even though he Qingqiu Fox King slapped the sycophants so smartly, he was also seen clearly by Xiao Shizhu at once.
At that moment, Xiao Shizhu not only did not get angry, but pretended to be excited enough to fake it, and was so excited that he stood up from the throne and stared at the two treasures, his eyes shining.
"The fox king has a heart, a heart. Immediately afterwards, Xiao Shizhu urged Qinglan beside him: "Quick, hurry up and send me to the palace, I will play with these two things in the future." βγ
For a time, the Qingqiu Fox King was full of joy. And the courtiers of the Nine Shadows Kingdom were all secretly surprised, and now today, their lord seemed to have changed a person.
All of a sudden, I was very interested in these extravagant and valuable things. Contrary to the past, the normal state of frugality and simplicity.
Xiao Shizhu also seemed to have become a big money fan in an instant, arrogant and lascivious, but it was all written on his face.
It's just that it is still above the court, and there are outsiders present, although the ministers are surprised and confused in their hearts, but they also look at it and don't say anything, silently suppressing their doubts in their hearts.
Qinglan immediately called two palace people and took away the two treasures. Xiao Shizhu still watched the two palace people gradually move away for a long time, and knew that he couldn't see the heroes who had left the main hall, so he slowly sat down.
Still, there was a look of excitement and excitement on his face.
"There are also many treasures to be offered to the king. The Qingqiu Fox King took out a list from his sleeve, handed it to Qinglan, and said to Xiao Shizhu: "This is a generous gift from the subjects of our country to the king together, and please don't postpone it." These treasures represent the sincerity of our two countries for long-term peace. βγ
Qinglan took the list, walked back to the throne, and handed the list to Xiao Shizhu.
Xiao Shizhu took the list and couldn't wait to take a look.
The ghost mother also leaned over curiously, and almost blurted out exclamation at a glance.
The gift list is densely filled with the names of gifts, all of which come in pairs, and they are all priceless things. Even if she was favored by Xiao Shizhu, she did not get any benefits and rewards in the past, but there were not so many treasures on this list in her dormitory.
Don't look at the exquisite fragrance garden, which is also made of luxurious materials, but few pieces are customized by the ghost mother herself, and there is no people's fat and people's ointment. Most of them are artifacts left over from the time of the old gods. This is true even for architecture.
If compared with the treasures on the list of the Qingqiu Fox King, the total value of the artifacts in the palace is really not as good as this paper list.
Judging from the items on the list alone, the total value is enough to buy several ghost counties in the Netherworld. Most of them are old things and old objects left over from the era of the ancient gods many years ago. It can be seen that this Qingqiu Fox King also made a bloody investment in order to give gifts.
It's just that Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother were overjoyed, and they secretly knew what the purpose of the Qingqiu Fox King was so bloody, but the couple tacitly didn't say it, but they were very satisfied, happy, and eager to see the treasures on the gift list.
Under the secret observation, the Qingqiu Fox King, who discovered Xiao Shizhu's emotional changes, was secretly happy in his heart. Secretly thinking that his plan had succeeded, excitement was also spontaneous.
"Okay, the Qingqiu Fox King has a heart, and I can't treat you badly. As the saying goes, I want to give you a good gift in return. After a long time, Xiao Shizhu reluctantly looked away, closed the list and handed it to Qinglan, and then turned to Changqin not far in front of him and said, "Changqin, prepare a return gift according to this gift list." We don't have this treasure, but we can return the amount of grain and grass or something. βγ
For a while, Xiao Shizhu was so bold, but he made the Qingqiu Fox King on the opposite side do what he wished.
He Qingqiu Fox King made a bloody investment and prepared so many generous gifts, not only to let Xiao Shizhu indulge in it, and the plaything was discouraged and unable to extricate himself, but also to try to exchange it for some materials needed for military operations.
As the saying goes, the grain and grass go first before the soldiers and horses are moved, and this grain and grass is the first material for military operations. Unexpectedly, Xiao Shizhu gave him such a generous gift to the Qingqiu Fox King all of a sudden, but when the Qingqiu Fox King was also a little 'flattered', he was overjoyed in his heart, and secretly scolded Xiao Shizhu: "Idiot." βγ
"Give me some more guns, guns or something. Immediately afterwards, Xiao Shizhu gave Changqin another order that surprised the other ministers: "That new sky-shaking cannon or something, it's useless to keep rust in the warehouse, just give the Qingqiu Fox King a return gift." βγ
For a while, many ministers secretly wondered in their hearts: Was Xiao Shizhu's head kicked by a donkey? Or was the ghost head caught by the door before going to court?
Advanced firearms are the foundation of the Nine Shadows Kingdom and the foundation of protecting the country, how can they be so easily so promissive? Not to mention that the firearms of the Nine Shadows Kingdom are unique in the world among the underworld, and they are outstanding, and no other country can compare with them.
Isn't it easy to allow people to give away the sharp weapon of the Nine Shadow Army to seize the world and give it away? It is also difficult to guarantee whether the Qingqiu Fox King will improve and imitate, and when the time comes, won't the Nine Shadow Army lose its advantage in vain?
Only a few ministers, such as Changqin, knew and believed that Xiao Shizhu was by no means such a mediocre monarch. There must be something strange in this, but there is a strange way in it, and it is not yet time for their courtiers to know.
So, Changqin nodded heavily without hesitation and answered.
After responding, Changqin immediately thought, could this be a blank check from Xiao Shizhu?
So, for the sake of insurance, he Changqin opened his mouth again and asked: "Lord, it's just that you also know that the capital doesn't have too much food and weapons. The minister has to collect these materials from all over the country, so naturally it will take some time, can you give the minister some days to prepare for this? βγ
"Yes. Xiao Shizhu is so smart, he knew the business when he heard this, and he didn't think much about it, so he agreed to Changqin and said: "It must be the best fine grain and grass, and the weapon must also be qualified, and you can't snub the Qingqiu Fox King." βγ
As soon as Changqin heard this, he knew that it was indeed just a verbal empty check from Xiao Shizhu. He can not raise these things at all, and the Qingqiu Fox King doesn't want to take them away.
At the moment, Changqin was still in line with the principle of doing enough drama, and hurriedly said to Xiao Shizhu: "Yes, we must not neglect the Qingqiu Fox King, nor will we neglect the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom." βγ
Between the two ghosts singing and harmonizing, a blank check coaxed the Qingqiu Fox King around.
And the Qingqiu Fox King doesn't know yet, hehehe.
He is shrewd and good at deception. It's just that in terms of this lie, it's worse than Xiao Shizhu.
Playing tricks, he is not as good as Xiao Shizhu.
Only the fox Shidou had lingering concerns about this. He didn't quite believe that Xiao Shizhu's words with such red lips and white teeth could really be fulfilled.
Fox Shidou has already heard that Xiao Shizhu's tricks are also unique in the world, not to mention that this matter is said by red mouth and white teeth, even if it is written in black and white, if Xiao Shizhu really wants to repay the debt, he can also have a hundred ways to rely on it.
"Okay, without further ado, this banquet is also ready, let's go eat and drink first, and let the Qingqiu Fox King catch the wind and wash the dust. Fox Shidou was still thinking secretly, the sound of drums slowly drifted from the distance outside the hall, and Xiao Shizhu had already announced the next activity: "Everyone, please put it, the delicious food beckons to us again." β......
Xudu, towering Luo Yu Mountain.
Emperor Xudu sat alone on the Heavenly Hall in Beiyin, picked up his medicine bowl, and took a sip.
He drank not a cure, but a tonic.
In this small bowl of medicinal soup, there are all kinds of tonic medicines in the underworld. What Soul Rejuvenation Grass, Raw Bone Wood is everything.
Such a tonic, Emperor Xudu has not drunk less since he got the throne. If he has two heads in three days, he should drink a little to replenish his body.
Here, the Emperor Xudu had just finished drinking the tonic, and a cool wind blew outside the hall.
In the light of the cloudy day, the Wheel Dynasty strode in the main hall.
Emperor Xudu just raised his hand and patted it, and a palace slave walked into the hall amid crisp applause, took away the medicine bowl, and replaced it with tea.
At the same time, the reincarnation king had a wind at his feet, walked to the opposite side of the Emperor Xudu and stopped, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and greeted the Emperor Xudu.
"What's the matter?" the Emperor Xudu asked casually.
"Back to Your Majesty, there is information claiming that the Qingqiu Fox King has entered the territory of the Nine Shadows Country, and will soon arrive at Yuque City, the capital of the Nine Shadows Kingdom. The King of Reincarnation, who was kneeling on the ground, reported to the Emperor Xudu: "The two Hades Kings are about to meet. βγ
Emperor Xudu patiently waited for him to finish speaking, and then said disapprehantly: "I thought what was the matter, there was nothing to make a fuss about this matter, right?"
The Wheel King responded, and then turned his mouth and said, "But I heard that this time the Qingqiu Fox King has made a bloody investment and wants to tie up Xiao Shizhu." Under such circumstances, it is difficult to predict whether this Qingqiu Fox King will see the wind and rudder and forget the secret agreement with the imperial court. As a result, the Yang of the Nine Shadows Country will no longer be violated, and the Dongyingzhou War will not be able to be fought. βγ
When he looked up, the Reincarnation King, who was staring at Emperor Xudu, looked worried.
This has a lot to do with the Northern Yin Dynasty, if there is no Qingqiu Fox Country on the Dongying Continent side, and takes the lead in confronting the Nine Shadow Kingdom, the others will be scattered, and it will be difficult to contain and drag down the Nine Shadow Kingdom.
In this way, the Nine Shadows Kingdom can also enter the recuperation as soon as possible, which is extremely unfavorable to the Northern Yin Dynasty.
The intention of supporting the Qingqiu Fox King is to use the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom to launch a long-term war with the Nine Shadows Kingdom in the Eastern Ying Continent, which will last for at least a year or so, so as to achieve the goal of using this to consume the manpower and resources of the Nine Shadows Kingdom and weaken the army of the Nine Shadows Kingdom.
Now in the eyes of the Reincarnation King, the Qingqiu Fox King has consumed his national and financial resources so much to give gifts to Xiao Shizhu, but he is afraid that there is some purpose that is contrary to the yang and the yin.
This reincarnation king is a little worried.
"The Qingqiu Fox King will not rebel. Emperor Xudu was not in a hurry, he glanced at the worried look on the face of the Wheel King, and a look of disdain flashed in his eyes: "The condition I gave him is that Dongyingzhou is self-reliant, and the Qingqiu Fox King can't stand this temptation." No matter how many things he brings to the Nine Shadows Country, it is nothing more than to confuse Xiao Shizhu, a little ghost, what is there to worry about?"
In the words of Emperor Xudu, he immediately said the strategy in the intestines of the Qingqiu Fox King.
"I see, but Xiao Shizhu may not be fooled. This is the master who even dares to sell the palace. The king of reincarnation thought about it carefully, and said: "It is said that whether it is the king of Hades or the princes of one side, it is not a magnificent palace that is not majestic, and the palace is a symbol, it is majestic, and it is sacrosanct! Xiao Shizhu doesn't believe this, and what does the king say that the king is beautiful and morality is powerful, and I have never heard of serving the world with a palace, and I don't know how many palaces and treasures have been sold." The minister was only afraid that the bloody gifts brought by the Qingqiu Fox King would be sold by Xiao Shizhu, a little ghost, in the future. Doesn't this mean that he has sent a lot of money to the Nine Shadows Kingdom?"
Unexpectedly, these worries were expressed, but Emperor Xudu still didn't think so, nor was he worried, but just said: "What should I do? Isn't it easy to do this? In the future, when I got this gift list, I sent ghosts at home and abroad to strictly investigate the black market in the ghost market, and immediately confiscated it when I saw that this thing was sold, not only cutting off his Xiao Shizhu's financial route, but also digging out all the merchants and spies he sent out?"
Emperor Xudu said it easily and confidently. He seemed to have anticipated these things for a long time, and he had also thought of countermeasures in advance.
Over there, the Reincarnation King thought about it and thought it was too. Looking at Emperor Xudu's disapproving expression, he secretly thought that this Qingqiu Fox King was going to give Xiao Shizhu a gift under his blood, wouldn't it also be secretly instructed by Emperor Xudu?
But in any case, this ending is good for their Northern Yin Dynasty.
As for the reincarnation king, the worries in his heart were naturally dispelled. Now, he was no longer worried.
"The minister will go and arrange it, after getting the list first, immediately arrange it according to Your Majesty's instructions, and then select the ghost sent to the land. The King of Rotation was no longer worried, so he hurriedly said to Emperor Xudu: "I promise to send a ghost messenger when I get the list." βγ
