Under the cover of night, the three rivers rushed in the dark night, constantly rolling up several feet of huge waves. Like most of the rivers in the Netherworld, the three rivers run from east to west, heading for the distant Dushuo Mountain.

The river, which was not fast before the rainy season, is now scary. Under the unstoppable rushing current, the rolling waves are like a group of beasts, and the whirlpools that constantly roll up can also pull everything that tries to pass through the river into the depths of the water.

If this thing plunges headlong into the torrent and can't get up again, then it's two words.

Dongyingzhou is like this in the rainy season, all rivers are surging and turbidity is emptied. The torrent rushes like thousands of troops and horses, making both sides of the river a boundary that is difficult to come and go.

There are bridges, and the bridges are strong where they are fine. At least you can go back and forth between the two sides of the bridge along the bridge. Where there is no bridge, you can only look at the river and sigh.

In the dark night, the leader of the scouts of the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom raised his eyes to look ahead, looking at the other side of the three rivers with rolling waves.

A pair of demon eyes can clearly see the outline of the mountain in the distance in the night.

Towering into the clouds, towering at the mouth of the river, the mountain stands quietly on the other side of the river, in this dark cloudy night, it is silent, looking at the three rivers rushing in front of it.

For thousands of years, this mountain range has been guarding the riverbank like this, motionless, and has not changed much.

And the only change that has taken place in the mountains now is something that his demon eyes can't see.

Who knows, in the belly of this mountain range with a radius of up to 100 miles, many places have been hollowed out.

The Nine Shadows Country has quietly built strong fortifications in it, and now there are hundreds of hidden guns and cannons in it, and now they are all aimed at the scouts of the Qingqiu Fox Country, where they are on the other side of the river.

It's just that the demon eye can see at night, but it can't see through, and it can't see what doorway is in the belly of the mountain on the other side.

Otherwise, Xiao Shizhu didn't dare to let Julong come here, and began to build the fortifications in the belly of the mountain with great fanfare.

After a long time, the scout leader slowly withdrew his gaze, but he still looked distressed and frowned.

The Nine Shadows Kingdom has now installed sentry posts and patrol posts in the mountains on the other side, but in fact, this does not mean that the Nine Shadows Kingdom is not sincere. After all, what the Nine Shadows Kingdom said to the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom was that there were no fortifications and military camps at the northern foot of the mountain, but this place was the border between the two countries, and the Nine Shadows Kingdom could not and could not have set up sentry posts and patrol posts.

Some patrols and sentry posts are also normal.

However, these sentries and patrols blocked the scouts' way.

Scouts who can't even reach the top of the mountain, let alone go to the southern foothills.

What the Nine Shadows Kingdom did in the southern foothills, they Qingqiu Fox Kingdom didn't know anything.

But then, when the leader of the scouts was extremely disappointed, the only scout who came back alive carefully took out a small notebook wrapped in oiled paper from his arms.

Because of the thick layers of oiled paper wrapped outside, the contents inside did not enter the water, and followed this scout across the three rivers, rising and falling back and forth in the flood torrent countless times, and it was also unharmed.

He handed this thing to his superior, handed it to the scout leader, shuddered, and said, "But in the mountains, the locations of those patrols and sentry posts in the mountains, we have drawn all the maps, and they are all in this booklet." ”。

As soon as these words came out, the scout leader's heart immediately disappeared, snatched the booklet wrapped in oiled paper and handed it to him, and hurriedly tore open the layers of oiled paper outside.

The soft sound of the oil paper tearing gently echoed through the trees at night.

The scouts sent out, only one came back alive, and the leader of the scouts couldn't take care of it.

His attention was now on the booklet in his hand.

The deputy who followed closely beside him also hurriedly reached out to cover the top of his head. lest the droplets of water that were still dripping between the dense branches and leaves above wet the booklet.

The scout who came back alive continued: "The Nine Shadows Kingdom is in the mountains, and these patrols and sentries are just arranged. As long as they have a map of their location, when attacking, they can take assassination actions, pull out the sentry posts in the mountain one by one, patrol the sentry, and they can occupy the mountain of Xuanyi. ”。

Obviously, these scouts knew what the Qingqiu Fox King father and son had in mind.

Therefore, the scout who came back alive gave his boss such a note, so that his boss could tell his boss's boss to listen.

The leader was silent, just looking at the booklet in his hand.

I have to say that these scouts under him are worthy of elite scouts.

The pictures on the booklet are very beautiful and detailed. The location of the patrol posts and sentry posts of the Nine Shadows Kingdom is marked, and there are detailed geographical location annotations.

With this map, the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom wants to prepare for assassination, as long as the killer shoots cleanly and can use the darkness to come and go without a trace, then he will definitely be able to pull out all the patrols and sentries in the mountains overnight.

The only question, and one that Qingqiu Fox Kingdom can't think of now, is this really that simple?

The patrols and sentries of the Nine Shadows Country, are they just the appearance of the scouts of the Qingqiu Fox Country?

However, after reading the booklet, the scout leader did not think of this, but his face was full of joy and his eyes were excited.

I thought that with this booklet, the army of the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom would be able to capture the Fox Mountain, and it would be as easy as searching for things.

Where can I think about anything else, even if I think about it, I may not be able to imagine what tricks the Nine Shadows Kingdom uses to deal with them.

At that moment, the leader of the scouts of the Qingqiu Fox Country, who was full of interest, took the booklet into his arms.

Once you've installed it, turn around and look behind you.

In the darkness, there is more and more dense vegetation. Especially those towering trees, each one by one is a large tree with lush foliage.

The trunk is stout, covered with moss and vines. The roots of the trees below are intertwined and scattered all over the soil.

Through this dark forest, you can see the current Qingqiu Fox Country, which is now arranged in the military camp in the vicinity under the pretext of the exercise.

The leader of the scouts decided to go there first.

Anyway, for the time being, it will not be possible to reach the top and south foot of the mountain. The leader of the scouts decided to go to the front barracks first and copy a copy of the booklet to the local general.

It is also good to give the local general an understanding of the situation in the mountains on the other side of the river.

"Okay, let's withdraw first, and as for the situation in the southern foothills, we'll think of other ways. Without thinking, the leader of the scouts took his thoughts as an order and gave them to his subordinates around him.

On the edge of the sky, there was another muffled thunder, and the rumbling sound rolled in, shaking the earth slightly.

Soon, these elite scouts of the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom retreated, getting farther and farther away from the river, and quickly disappeared into the secluded forest behind them, where the grass and trees became denser and denser......

Clouds and mist surround the top of the mountain on the other side of the forest, and it is difficult to see the true face in the haze.

On the top of the mountain, underground, the underground passages built connect the underground in the mountain, and each line of defense also connects the dark fort group at the northern foot and the guard tower between the military camp and the military field at the southern foothill.

At the top of the mountain, underneath the mountain, in the middle of the tunnel, there is a large domed square stone chamber.

It was a clean, rock-carved wall that divided the stone chamber into three compartments.

This is the operational command room and resting place of the local military commander Gu Shooting Goddess.

The innermost room was where she rested. Outside is the reception room, for the goddess and her generals in the past, to discuss something important.

As for the middle, it is the combat command room of the goddess. Every military order in this part of the mountain, from the small things such as changing guards and arranging sentry posts, to training and preparing for war, and possible military operations in the future, are all issued from here.

The table in the war room is also carved out of underground rock on the spot, which is integrated with the stone room. The walls around it were covered with battle maps, and carved closets contained booklets with lists of war supplies, as well as miscellaneous items and books.

And the battle map of the Nine Shadows Kingdom is the most detailed and exquisite in the entire underworld.

Just because Xiao Shizhu looked at the sloppy simple map of the ghost mother country back then, it was really a headache. Even if he had the "Complete Map of the Ten Continents of the Underworld", a map made by the kind of delicate ancient gods, Xiao Shizhu also privately searched everywhere for ghosts who could draw maps.

I searched for it with my heart, and I really found a few ghosts who knew how to draw pictures and knew the proportions.

Next, Xiao Shizhu secretly sent them to various places in the ten continents and six seas to secretly go on business - to draw detailed and exquisite maps.

After all, there is only one copy of "The Complete Map of the Ten Continents of the Underworld".

It wasn't until the unification of Xuanyan Continent and Yunmeng Continent that these ghost talents gradually returned to China, but they brought Xiao Shizhu many detailed maps.

Each one is no longer a sloppy and simple map, with proportions, so that people can see the entire Netherworld at a glance on the map.

The large and small maps hanging in the battle command room of the goddess are the replicas that were copied from the maps brought back to Xiao Shizhu by those ghostly people who drew pictures, and then compared with the complete map of the ten continents of the underworld.

One of the operational maps is a detailed geographical map of the 100 miles near the Fox Mountain.

On the map, the goddess marked a lot of envious × with a red pen.

These markers, all on the opposite side of the mountain, are the fortifications that the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom has repaired before the rainy season. The intelligence sources are all in the army commanded by the goddess, and the fungus people who are scouts are very reliable.

On the map, these fortifications seem scattered at first glance, but they all hold the main traffic routes and occupy dangerous places.

The fortifications on each mark can be closed in one fell swoop.

Once the Nine Shadows Kingdom attacked, even if there were guns in hand, it would inevitably have a lot of losses.

On the table in the war room, the map that is now unfolded is exactly the same as the drawing on the wall, and even the markings are exactly the same.

Now, the goddess followed the oil lamp on the table, looked at the map on the table, and frowned. Her gaze swept over the markings on the map, her face a little solemn.

In the stone room, in addition to her, there is also a fungus man, who is the scout of the goddess.

This fungus man, with a small brush in his hand, dipped some ink, and along the opposite bank of the river opposite the mountain, the secluded forest facing the main peak, he dropped a few circle marks.

Then, the fungus man put away his small brush and said to the goddess: "General, we have found that in the past few days, the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom has mobilized tens of thousands of troops to play these places. Judging from the number of people they buried in the pot to cook, the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom sent an additional 30,000 troops to at least these places. ”。

In the current stone room, there are only two ghosts, this fungus and the goddess. The door was closed again, and what the fungus man said was confidential, and there was no need to speak in a suppressed voice, but it brought a little soft echo.

Recently, whether it is the Qingqiu Fox Country or the Nine Shadows Country, they have been secretly communicating with each other. The Qingqiu Fox Country is investigating the Nine Shadow Country again, and the Nine Shadow Country is also investigating the Qingqiu Fox Country.

They come and go, scouting each other's defenses and garrisons on the border, and are actively preparing for war after the rainy season.

The peace between the two countries has existed in name only, and it is nothing more than a strong support for each other's performances.

As soon as the goddess heard this, she looked at the marks made by the fungus man on the map seriously, measured it with her hand, and after calculating the actual distance in proportion, her brows stretched slightly, and said, "At this distance, our artillery is not beyond the reach of the dust." ”。

Under the firelight, the eyes of the goddess brightened.

Her pupils were red, and she seemed to see the scene of the Nine Shadows Kingdom's cannonballs smashing down towards these marked points like dense raindrops once the war began.

After saying that, the Gu Shooting Priestess looked at the marks on the map, far away from the Fox Mountain, the fortifications of the Qingqiu Fox Country.

A little farther away over there is not a place where the artillery of the Nine Shadows Kingdom can hit it.

Once the two countries go to war, the goddess will also be responsible for tearing these defenses for the army going north.

Gu shot the goddess and wanted to make some plans and preparations in advance.

And the fungus man on the table also knew that these were the things that the goddess was responsible for.

Seeing that Gu Shooting Goddess was a little distressed, the fungus man immediately suggested: "But General, we have more than 100 flying thunder vehicles, plus elite air cavalry, flying army, and organize an air raid, we can take out several fortifications and passes in his Qingqiu Fox Country." ”。

Gu Arching Goddess had also thought of this plan before, after all, the air cavalry and flying army of the Nine Shadows Country were no longer what they used to be. Today's Nine Shadows Kingdom has a powerful air force.

It's just that once the air force here is dispatched, for a while, the local garrison of the Nine Shadows Kingdom in the mountain will have no air supremacy, which is what the goddess of Gu Arch is worried about.

The silent goddess thought for a long time, and could only come up with a way to dispel her concerns.

However, this method, the goddess is reluctant to say it herself.

If this is spoken, it is easy to leak.

Gu shot the goddess and thought of a way. So he rolled up the map, put it into the slender leather tube that was a foot long, and after it was installed, he put the lid on it, affixed the seal, and shouted to the other side of the gate: "Messenger." ”。

A shout rang out, and a moment later, the closed door was pushed open through the outer door. A gust of wind rushed in, and a soul soldier in the wind strode into the house, three steps and two steps, came to the table and stood still, and bowed slightly to the goddess: "General." ”。

"You're out on business. There is a blueprint here, and it will be sent to Yuque City immediately. The goddess handed the slender leather tube in her hand to the ghost soldier opposite in front of her: "Without going through any department, it will be delivered directly to the master." ”。

The pocket fungus man standing on the table is inexplicable.

He knew that the goddess had just put a drawing in it. There were only marked drawings, no annotations, and no textual descriptions.

The fungus man thought: When the lord gets this drawing, won't the lord feel inexplicable?

The messenger didn't have these thoughts, and he answered after taking the leather tube, and went out. I closed the door again.

Before the messenger left, the fungus couldn't help but express the doubts and confusion in his heart: "General, you just asked the messenger to take away the drawings, can the lord understand?"
