The sound of waves and sea breeze can be heard in the night.

The strong and fierce sea wind blowing from the Qinglong Sea ruffled the sea surface. Waves hit the side of the Jiuyou Kingdom Navy's ship, and also caused the Jiuyou Army who were standing guard on the deck to feel pain in their cheeks.

Come.

In the dark night, this huge fleet sailing on the sea continued to ride the wind and waves to the north. It left behind waves of broken waves on the sea it passed.

Although the Qinglong Sea is still under the rule of the Northern Yin Dynasty, some areas have lost control, especially the sea area near the northern part of Dongyi Continent, which has gradually come under the control of the Jiuyou Kingdom. Therefore, even if the fleet of the Jiuyou Kingdom is not

The division marched forward boldly on the sea and encountered no obstacles or surprise attacks for the time being.

Just to be on the safe side, ghost soldiers with night eyes were still arranged to stand guard, and escort air cavalry were arranged to circle and patrol in the sky.

On the navy's flagship, in the command room in the cabin, there was no sound of the endless waves, nor the sea breeze that hurt the cheeks. Only the sound of tree swallows echoed under the soft swaying light in the command room.

With.

"Well, what you said is all right." King Yama walked to his handsome desk and sat down, and asked Shuyan and Chunhan to sit down in front of him: "But all the time, no matter the three mountains close to them in Dongyingzhou

Neither the ghost country nor the ghost country in Dongyi Continent close to the three mountains in the sea are willing to occupy these three desert islands."

King Yama has a majestic appearance, and he looks really scary. He speaks in a rough voice, like thunder, and he doesn't smile. Even though he is not angry now, his appearance still looks impressive.

Fortunately, Shuyan and Chunyun were not ordinary little female ghosts. They were very courageous. They were already familiar with King Yama and were not frightened by his appearance or voice.

After sitting down and thinking about it carefully, Shuyan asked thoughtfully after King Yama's words and deeds today: "Your Majesty King Yama, does the Lord want us to occupy the three islands of Sanshan Island on the way north?"

An island?”.

Most of the ghost officials who serve in Yuque City know that Xiao Shizhu is a human soul with many fantastic ideas. No matter what he does, he can always do the opposite or act contrary to common sense. This has always been the case.

.

None of the ghost officers and generals under his command could guess their lord. As for Xiao Shizhu's opponent, Emperor Fengdu, they couldn't guess Xiao Shizhu either.

Shuyan thought about this and came to that conclusion after some thinking. Just because this was just a guess, and no one could completely see through Xiao Shizhu's thinking, so what she said was not so confident.

As soon as these words came out, King Yama immediately nodded his head.

This was the secret mission Xiao Shizhu gave him before he left Yuque City. In order to ensure surprise, King Yama also waited until the fleet was approaching Sanshan Island before mentioning it to his subordinates.

Other ghost kingdoms, including Emperor Fengdu and the Northern Yin Dynasty, were unwilling to occupy the three mountains in the sea. In addition to the fact that there were too many slopes on the island, which was not easy to cultivate, there were also too many hard rocks on these three mountains, which were almost all over the mountains and plains. Thus, the formation of

The mountain is full of rugged and strange rocks, and there are many cliffs on the rugged mountains.

Although such a place is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is too time-consuming and labor-intensive to build a fortress in such a place.

Xiao Shizhu didn't think so; he felt that although building a fortress on Sanshan Island would be time-consuming and laborious, craftsmen from Jiuyou Country could carve out grottoes on the spot. Taking advantage of this natural location, it would be just like Sanxing Island in the past.

, like the caves where Wu Zhiqi once occupied, it can make Sanshan Island a fortress that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

As for laborious matters, rational use of Jiuyou Kingdom's artillery and firearms to dig into rocks can save a lot of trouble.

The key is that just as Shuyan and Chunhan said, Sanshan Island can not only serve as a barrier to the northeastern harbor of Dongyi Continent, but also serve as a springboard for Jiuyou Kingdom to attack Dongying Continent.

Xiao Shizhu doesn't like to put all his eggs in the same basket. Although there is an agreement with Qingqiu Fox Country, that agreement is just a piece of paper involving interests. Once the interests are gone, Qingqiu Fox Country's betrayal will also

It's likely to follow.

Xiao Shizhu could not believe in the covenant, so he had to make preparations in advance. Once the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom betrayed him, his Jiuyou Kingdom must have a backup springboard to go north again into Dongyingzhou.

Dongyingzhou and Jiuyou Kingdom are sure to be defeated.

King Yama told Shuyan and Chunhan the contents of Xiao Shizhu's secret order without missing a word. When he finished speaking, Shuyan and Chunhan both widened their watery eyes, and there was a trace of emotion in their eyes.

The incredible look on his face told them of their surprise.

Surprised, Shuyan suddenly felt that her lord was indeed a human soul who dared to think and do. She couldn't help but think of Xiao Fuling, who was also a brat who dared to think what others didn't dare to think and did what other ghosts didn't dare to do.

.

Emotions are inherited from Xiao Shizhu’s personality.

Everyone knows that Sanshan Island has a good geography, but he is not willing to go to those three mountains full of hard rocks to spend money and trouble. But Xiao Shizhu is willing to spend money on Sanshan Island.

It seems very troublesome, but once Sanshan Island is in the hands of Jiuyou Kingdom, it will be tantamount to posing an invisible threat to the southeastern area of ​​​​Japanese Continent. Not only will it provide Jiuyou Kingdom with an extra springboard to attack Japan Continent, but it will also allow Japan to

The ghost kingdoms in the southeastern part of the continent are wary.

It can also better attract the attention of those ghost countries in Dongying Continent. The ghost countries in the southeastern part of Dongying Continent feel that they have thorns on their backs at all times and dare not act rashly. As for the expedition of Jiuyou Kingdom into the continent,

Being surrounded by Qingqiu Fox Country can also alleviate some of the pressure.

Shuyan's admiration for Xiao Shizhu has not diminished but grown; a careful calculation of her age shows that Xiao Shizhu is only about seven or eight years older than her, but he is good at strategy and thinking about problems may seem to be whimsical, but in fact he is very thoughtful.

.

Chunhan, who had traveled with Xiao Shizhu, became even more surprised after being surprised. She thought about the reason why Xiao Shizhu asked them to prepare for sending troops in advance, and shortly after the signing of the treaty with Qingqiu Fox Country,

So they quietly sent out troops, just to buy enough time to seize Sanshan Island.

Because preparations were made in advance, the expeditionary army could set off in advance. Therefore, even if Jiuyou Country captured Sanshan Island halfway, and it took some time, it would still be able to arrive in time to support Qingqiu Fox Country.

"My lord, the plan is very simple. After our army arrives at Sanshan Island, we will stay in the local waters for ten days in the name of waiting for supplies." King Yama stroked his beard, which was as dense as a steel needle.

,right

Shuyan and Chunhan then said: "During these ten days, the craftsmen who came with the fleet will disembark and board the Sanshan Island to start building the fortress. Lord Hu Hui will also send troops from Dongyi Continent to help the craftsmen complete the project.

Fortress."

"In ten days we will move on to the east coast of the Fox Kingdom in Qingqiu." After a pause, King Yama took out two army command arrows from the tube at hand, and said: "Once we arrive at Sanshan Island, you will each lead an army.

Collect one island each to ensure that the craftsmen and soldiers on the island can safely build fortresses on the island."

"Nuo." Chunhan and Shuyan stood up together, with solemn expressions on their faces. After responding with a sonorous and powerful voice, they strode forward to stand in front of the commander's case and took the two command arrows made of red copper shafts respectively.

.....

The morning bell rang in the Jade Palace, and the morning dew on the exotic flowers and plants in the palace had not yet dispersed. The ghost mother and Xiao Shizhu were sitting on a red lacquer chariot carried by four ghosts, walking between the pavilions and pavilions, towards Su Tian

Go over there.

It was rare to go to the morning court today, but Xiao Shizhu still couldn't sleep in. After getting up early in the morning, he followed the ghost mother out of Juexiang Garden.

He yawned all the way.

The powerful mountain ghosts carrying the chariot walked for a while amidst Xiao Shizhu's intermittent yawns, and then stopped the chariot at the door of Sutianju. Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother, who cheered up, strode off the chariot.

Walked down. With only a few guards, Qinglan and Chenruo, they crossed the exquisite gate of Sutianju with intricate carvings and patterns, and walked to Sutianjuli.

The spirit deer who were kept in the middle of Sutian Palace raised their heads and looked at Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother. After taking a quick look, they all lowered their heads to Xiao Shizhu and his wife, raised their right front hooves, and bent their right front feet.

It seems to be saluting Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother.

The disciples of Su Tianju were already neatly dressed and lined up neatly on both sides of the road, waiting quietly.

After seeing Xiao Shizhu and his ghost mother entering Su Tianju, they all lowered their hands and bowed their heads slightly, saluting them respectfully.

Xiao Shizhu and Gui Mu went straight forward, walking on the road paved with sapphire in the middle of Sutian, towards the main building. When they arrived at the main building, they saw Imperial Master Yingying and Lai Yueqi already waiting in the building.

.

"Why did you invite us over in such a hurry so early in the morning?" Xiao Shizhu asked, curiously looking at the strange mirror between Yingying and Lai Yueqi.

In front of the two ghosts, there was a bronze mirror with a circular base and a diameter of about one foot. The shape was not much different from the round mirror, but the mirror surface was very strange.

In the middle is a thin, octagonal crystal, inlaid in the middle. You can see that the crystal, as thin as a mirror, reflects the morning sky under the morning sun.

And on the eight sides of this crystal, eight trapezoidal crystals are set on the eight sides.

Xiao Shizhu took a closer look and looked up and down at the strange-shaped mirror, not knowing what it was used for.

"With the help of the Imperial Master, we have made the Jiuxiao Mirror that the ancient gods used to monitor the sky." When Xiao Shizhu and the Ghost Mother stood in front of the mirror and looked at it curiously,

Lai Yueqi already shouted to them excitedly: "In the future, we can use it to monitor the air for invincible troops."

While she was talking, Xiao Shizhu got closer and saw more clearly that the nine crystals inlaid on the mirror that Lai Yueqi called the Nine Heavens Mirror were all engraved with talismans that he had never seen before.

However, if you take a closer look, you can see that they are somewhat similar to the talismans in the telescope. After the master Yingying completed the hand gesture without saying a word, these talismans shone with a faint soft light, illuminating the nine crystals.

Emits seven colors of light.

Then, the octagonal crystal mirror in the middle showed the sky above the entrance of the sinkhole, and even the edge of the sinkhole was reflected in it.

Before Xiao Shizhu could exclaim the miracle, he saw red dots flashing on the eight trapezoid-shaped crystals around him. They flickered slowly in the crystal mirror, like twinkling stars.

"This is indeed the Nine Heavens Mirror." Even the ghost mother became a little excited. She tugged on Xiao Shizhu's sleeves and said to her husband with a little pride: "This mirror can show three-dimensional objects in the sky one hundred thousand feet high."

The ghostly aura in the 130,000-mile airspace. Look at those red dots, aren’t they the flying army and air cavalry training on Yuque City?”.
