There was solemnity in the Tianquan Hall with yellow jade as golden pillars.

When the pearlescent aura was finished, all the ghosts' eyes were focused on the box from which the pearlescent aura was emitted. Although they were already in the main hall of the pearlescent aura, they were still curious, what did the Qingqiu Fox King bring?

The ghosts who were close could see clearly the treasures contained in the box.

One of them is a pair of stone sculptures carved from red cloud crystals bred in the flames of the underworld and magma. A bouquet of branches composed of exotic flowers from the underworld such as the other side flower and the nirvana flower. The overall shape is vivid and unique, and it is extremely carved.

The workmanship is exquisite, and the exotic flowers are carved vividly.

Among the flowers, there are several jade shawls connected by clusters of flowers. The dancers' clothes are stretched and fluttering, and the waves are rolling under their feet. It is like dancing in the flowers.

Chunyun and Lu Wu, ghosts who have read all kinds of classics, recognized it after a few glances. This object was a stone sculpture that had mysteriously disappeared for a long time when the ancient gods perished - the pregnancy of the gods.

It is said that the figures in the flowers on the stone carvings are not dancing girls, but the Virgin Mary of all things, and all the women among the ancient gods. They use dance to perform magic, and the yin energy generates sunshine. Thousands of flowers bloom under their feet, and at the same time they give birth to all things.

Come.

This thing was carved by the first soul who learned the carving skills from the ancient gods in the era of the ancient gods. He watched the scenes of the ancient gods giving birth to all things and carved it with his own hands.

It has been thousands of years now. If there was a museum in the underworld, this object would be eligible to be displayed there.

In Xiao Shizhu's words, it is not an exaggeration to charge ten taels of silver for a ticket.

The other object is a five-element inspiration stone that is only the size of a fist. This sedimentary rock in the underworld has been underground for thousands of years, and the energy of the five elements has long been collected and stored in it. If you bring it around any ghost, the spiritual energy in it can make it energetic. And

The surface of this round stone is completely covered with naturally formed bamboo leaf-like textures. The bamboo leaves on the texture are in various shapes and patterns, and the patterns are well-distributed, making it simple and elegant yet slightly delicate and cute.

And most of the jewels and gems come from this spiritual stone.

Qingqiu Fox King chose this object as a meeting gift, precisely because of the texture of these bamboo leaves, which also coincides with the name of Xiao Dianthus' Dianthus.

Even though he, the Qingqiu Fox King, flattered him so skillfully, Xiao Shizhu immediately saw clearly.

At that moment, instead of being angry, Xiao Shizhu pretended to be excited enough to be fake. He was so excited that he stood up from the throne and stared at the two treasures, his eyes shining brightly.

"The Fox King is interested, he is interested." Immediately afterwards, Xiao Shizhu urged Qing Lan beside him: "Quickly, take them to the palace for me. I will play with these two things in the future.".

For a moment, Qingqiu Fox King was filled with joy. But the ministers of Jiuyou Kingdom were all secretly surprised. Today, their lord seemed to have become a different person.

All of a sudden, I became very interested in these luxurious and expensive things. It was contrary to the normal state of frugality and simplicity in the past.

Xiao Shizhu also seemed to have become a wealthy man in an instant. His arrogance and extravagance were all written on his face.

But they were still in the court, and there were outsiders present. Although the ministers were surprised and confused, they looked at it without saying anything and silently suppressed their doubts in their hearts.

Qing Lan immediately called two palace men and took away two treasures. Xiao Shizhu watched the two palace men walking away for a long time. Knowing that he could not see the heroes who had left the hall, he slowly sat down.

.

However, the look of excitement and excitement is still clearly visible on his face.

"In addition, there are many treasures that I want to present to the king." Qingqiu Fox King took out a list from his sleeve, handed it to Qinglan, and said to Xiao Shizhu: "These are the subjects of our country.

Please don’t delay this generous gift to your Majesty. These treasures represent the sincerity of long-lasting peace between our two countries.”

Qing Lan 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 unfold it.

The ghost mother also leaned over curiously and almost exclaimed when she took a look.

The gift list was densely filled with names of gifts, all of which were in pairs, and they were all priceless things. Even though she was favored by Xiao Shizhu, she had received many benefits and rewards in the past, but her bedroom was absolutely fragrant.

There are not as many treasures as on this list in the garden.

Even though the Juexiang Garden is also made of luxurious materials, few of them are customized by the Ghost Mother herself, and there are no people's anointing. Most of them are artifacts left over from the ancient gods' era. Even the buildings are the same.

If compared with the treasures on the Qingqiu Fox King's list, the total value of the artifacts in the palace is really not as good as this list.

Judging from the items on the list, the total value is enough to buy several ghost counties in the underworld. Most of them are old things left over from the era of the ancient gods many years ago. It can be seen that this Qingqiu Fox

The king also spent a lot of money to give gifts.

It's just that while Xiao Shizhu and Ghost Mother were overjoyed, they both secretly knew what the Qingqiu Fox King's purpose was for spending so much money. It was just that the couple tacitly didn't say it, but they both acted very satisfied and happy.

, I feel even more eager to see the treasures on the gift list in real form.

After secretly observing, Qingqiu Fox King, who noticed Xiao Shizhu's emotional changes, was secretly happy in his heart. He secretly thought that his plan had been successful, and he was excited.

"Okay, Qingqiu Fox King is interested, and I can't treat you badly. As the saying goes, it's rude to come back without reciprocating, and I will give you a good gift in return." After a long time, Xiao Shizhu reluctantly looked away,

He closed the list and handed it to Qinglan, then turned to Changqin not far ahead and said: "Changqin, please follow this gift list to prepare a return gift. We don't have this treasure, but we can return the gift in full with the food and other things."

Some.".

For a time, Xiao Shizhu's boldness made the Qingqiu Fox King on the opposite side do as he always wished.

He, the Qingqiu Fox King, spent a lot of money and prepared so many generous gifts not only to make Xiao Shizhu addicted to them and get bored and unable to extricate himself from playing with them, but also to try his best to exchange them for some supplies needed for military operations.

As the saying goes, before the soldiers and horses move, food and grass go first, and this food and grass is the most important material for military operations. Unexpectedly, Xiao Shizhu gave him such a generous gift from Qingqiu Fox King at once, which actually made Qingqiu Fox King a little 'flattered'

, feeling happy in his heart, he secretly scolded Xiao Shizhu: "Idiot."

"Give me some more guns, blunderbuss and the like." Immediately afterwards, Xiao Shizhu gave Changqin another order that surprised the other ministers: "The new Sky-shattering Cannon and the like are left rusty in the warehouse.

It’s no use, just give Qingqiu Fox King a gift in return.”

For a while, many ministers were thinking to themselves: Was Xiao Shizhu kicked in the head by a donkey? Or was the ghost’s head caught in the door before going to court?

Advanced firearms are the foundation of Jiuyou Country and the foundation of protecting the country. How can people do this so easily? What's more, the firearms of Jiuyou Country are unique in the underworld, outstanding and unparalleled by other countries.

By making such an easy promise, wouldn't it mean that the Jiuyou Army had taken away the world's most powerful weapon and given it away? There's no guarantee that the Qingqiu Fox King would improve the imitation. By then, wouldn't the Jiuyou Army have forfeited its own advantage?

Only Changqin and a few other ministers knew and believed that Xiao Shizhu was by no means such a mediocre monarch. There must be something fishy in this, but their ministers had not yet known about the strange family system.

Therefore, Changqin nodded heavily without hesitation and agreed.

After answering, Changqin immediately thought, could this be Xiao Shizhu's empty promise?

So, for the sake of safety, he Changqin spoke again and asked: "My lord, you also know that the capital does not have much food and weapons. I have to raise these supplies from all over the country, which will naturally take some time. Can you give me some money?"

I will give you some days to prepare this matter."

"Yes." Xiao Shizhu was so smart. He knew the business in these words as soon as he heard it. Without thinking too much, he agreed to Changqin and said: "It must be the best fine grain and grass, and the weapons must be qualified. We can't neglect it.

The Qingqiu Fox King."

As soon as Changqin heard this, he knew that it was indeed just a blank promise from Xiao Shizhu. He could not raise these things at all, and Qingqiu Fox King would not even think of taking them away.

At the moment, Changqin still followed the principle of showing off and said quickly to Xiao Shizhu: "Yes, we must not neglect the Qingqiu Fox King, nor the Qingqiu Fox Country.".

As the two ghosts sang and sang, a bad check coaxed the Qingqiu Fox King into a circle.

But the Qingqiu Fox King didn't know yet, so he was very happy.

He is shrewd and good at deceiving. But in terms of lies, he is not as good as Xiao Shizhu.

He is not as good as Xiao Shizhu when it comes to cheating.

Only Hu Shidou had lingering worries about this. He didn't quite believe that Xiao Shizhu could actually follow through on his words with such red lips and white teeth.

Hu Shidou has long heard that Xiao Shizhu's deception skills are unparalleled in the world. Not to mention that this is said by a man with red lips and white teeth. Even if it is written in black and white, if Xiao Shizhu really wants to default on his debt, he will have a chance.

Hundreds of methods have been tried.

"Okay, let's stop talking. The banquet has been prepared. Let's go eat and drink together first, and let the Qingqiu Fox King wash away the dust." Fox Shidou was still thinking secretly, and the sound of drum music floated slowly from the distance outside the palace.

, Xiao Shizhu has already announced the next event: "Everyone, please beckon us with delicious food again."...

Fengdu, the towering Luofeng Mountain reaches into the clouds.

Emperor Fengdu sat alone in the Beiyin Zhongtian Hall, picked up his medicine bowl and took a sip.

What he drank was not a cure, but a tonic.

This small bowl of medicinal soup contains all kinds of tonics from the underworld. There are everything from soul-returning grass to raw bone trees.

Emperor Fengdu had been drinking this kind of tonic since he got the throne. He would drink a little every two days to replenish his body.

Here, Emperor Fengdu had just finished drinking the tonic when a cool breeze blew outside the hall.

Under the light of the overcast sun, the rotating king walked into the main hall and strode in.

Emperor Fengdu just raised his hand and clapped, and a palace slave walked into the hall amidst crisp applause, took away the medicine bowl, and replaced it with tea.

At the same time, the wind was blowing at the feet of the King of Wheels. He walked to the opposite side of Emperor Fengdu and stopped. He knelt down and kowtowed to pay homage to Emperor Fengdu.

"What's the matter?" Emperor Fengdu asked casually.

"Back to Your Majesty, there is information claiming that Qingqiu Fox King has entered the territory of Jiuyou Kingdom and will soon arrive at Yuque City, the capital of Jiuyou Kingdom." King Lunzhuan, who was kneeling on the ground, reported to Emperor Fengdu: "The Plutos of the two countries

See you soon."

Emperor Fengdu waited patiently for him to finish, and then said disapprovingly: "What did I think it was? It's nothing to make a fuss about, right?".

Lun Zhuan Wang responded, and then changed his words: "But I heard that the Qingqiu Fox King has spent a lot of money this time to curry favor with Xiao Shizhu. Under such circumstances, it is difficult to predict whether the Qingqiu Fox King will take advantage of the situation.

If we forget the secret agreement with the imperial court and no longer violate Jiuyou Country, the war in Japan will not be fought."

King Lunzhuan raised his head and looked at Emperor Fengdu with worry on his face.

This is of great concern to the Beiyin Dynasty; if there is no Qingqiu Fox Kingdom in Dongyingzhou to take the lead in confronting the Jiuyou Kingdom, the rest will be scattered and it will be difficult to contain and drag down the Jiuyou Kingdom.

In this way, Jiuyou Kingdom can enter into recuperation as soon as possible, which is extremely detrimental to the Northern Yin Dynasty.
