Chapter 12: The Price of Saving Lives

Yu Ziying didn't say this, she knew that no matter what she said at this moment, the people of this city, Dadamu would be saved.

There is a price, perhaps...... When you do, you'll find out that you can't afford to pay at all.

"......" Yu Ziying fell silent.

"Let's go, no matter what the cost...... Lao Tzu will pay! Dadamu looked at the other side with a determined look in his eyes, and said in a sworn tone.

Dadamu came back to his senses in an instant, and quickly turned his head, and saw that the horse-faced soldier before was directing the soldiers to lower the drawbridge.

"Hurry up and put the drawbridge!" At this time, someone on the other side shouted.

Yu Ziying glanced at him, and his dark eyes seemed to contain thousands of mysteries.

Seeing what Yu Ziying wrote, Dadamu couldn't help but remember that Gesang seemed to have said to him before that this little woman was a magic stick who knew how to pinch his fingers for divination, and he couldn't help but ask tentatively: "What price?" ”

As for whether this "cause and effect" is iniquity, karma, account, or debt, it is another category.

Just as A kills B, B's child C is ready to kill A to take revenge, but Dante prevents C from killing A, and if A does not die, D must bear the consequences of A, and then C and D will have another "cause and effect" extension.

To cancel out "cause and effect", another "cause and effect" must be involved.

"Save them, but if they are saved, someone will have to pay the price for it." Yu Ziying wrote.

If it is said that the food they robbed the territory of King Xuanyin is the "cause", then the five ghosts under the King of Xuanyin came to retaliate is the "effect", as for the cause and suffering, this is a matter that the government should manage, and "God" cannot judge.

Therefore, she does not understand the "helplessness" and "force" of the poor people and the hungry and crazy people who choose to snatch things that do not belong to them at all, she only knows that since she has robbed what does not belong to her, then she should be prepared to pay the price casually.

Yu Ziying's view of right and wrong in her heart is actually very indifferent, and the boundary between good people and bad people is also very blurred, don't expect a person who has been imprisoned in a mental hospital to have a normal outlook.

"I heard that they were organized by the people of the alliance to rob ...... Ahem, anyway, a group of them were so bold that they dared to commit a crime on the territory under the jurisdiction of King Xuanyin, and robbed a lot of grain and livestock...... Speaking of this, Dadamu was also angry and hated his cheap appearance, but he didn't know what he thought, and sighed again: "Today's Northern Frontier Country, not only is Baishi Town bad, in fact, there have been various epidemics in many places, some of which died of hunger, some died of illness, and some went to the sea to rob and eat and were killed...... They also have no choice, now that the Northern Frontier Country, even the imperial dynasty does not have the jurisdiction of the Xuanyin King, the land is rich and rich in grain, and they have this greed for a while. ”

She thought for a moment and raised the board: Do you know why the people of White Rock Town were used by the Yin Ghost Army to sacrifice to the sky?

Save? Yu Ziying paused, her main purpose for entering was only ...... Seeing people, as for saving people...... In fact, this is the same as the current food delivery, five cars are real, and fifteen cars are fake.

Dadamu bowed his head very solemnly, and then he said: "Now you can always talk to Lao Tzu, wait a minute, let's go in, how to save people, right?" ”

She held up the board: wait a moment and continue to be arrogant to them, and then quickly lifted the five carts of grain herself.

If you don't let it, will others compromise? Yu Ziying's face hidden under the cloak pursed his lips in disgust.

Dadamu picked up the big knife and said with a brutal and cruel face: "Lao Tzu will not let them do it!" ”

On the other side, Yu Ziying, who was called a dwarf by the horse-faced soldiers, was telling General Dadamu that they would come to inspect the grain cart later.

"Yes, the little ones will do it immediately." The horse-faced soldier hurriedly rejoiced.

"Didn't bring any troops?" The starving ghost's eyes lit up, and he laughed a few times: "Hehehe, it seems that they are very sincere, good!" Go, let them in! ”

By the way, there seems to be a little man in a cloak, but he wants to...... That person doesn't matter.

"Moreover, he only brought forty people, and I saw that all of them were used to push grain carts, and there was not a single superfluous person." The horse-faced soldier said again.

Sometimes human nature is like this, not because we can't take risks, but because we have to see how great the temptation to unfold this danger is.

"What?! Twenty cars? Oh, that's a lot of money. The starving ghost couldn't help but hesitate a little at this time, he was already a person who valued appetite, although he knew that there must be a conspiracy here, but it was difficult to make a choice for a while.

The horse-faced soldier was stunned for a moment by the essence of the starving ghost, and when he heard his questioning, he hurriedly said, "It's not that the little one wants to believe it, but the little one really saw him come with about twenty carts of grain." ”

But the starving ghost's smile had not yet reached the bottom of his eyes, and the smile on his face was suddenly stopped, and he shouted at the horse-faced soldier: "Do you also believe this kind of deceitful words? I said that the guy had been hanging out and not coming in, so he was playing this trick. ”

Seeing that the starving ghost was so happy, the horse-faced soldier couldn't help but smirk.

"You said to send food?" The Starving Man paused, then laughed out loud.

He said that he would go into the city for disaster relief and send food, and now that Baishi City has been owned by their Yin Ghost Army, naturally this grain also belongs to them.

The horse-faced soldier raised his face in surprise and said, "Ghost master, there is a person from outside the city who claims to be General Dadamu, and he said that he wants to send food to our city. ”

The starving ghost squinted, interested in the words "great good", and waved his hand: "Say." ”

The horse-faced soldier hurriedly took a few steps forward, bent down and said, "The little one is a small soldier of the Yin Ghost Army guarding the city, and the little one has a great good thing to report to the ghost master." ”

"Who are you?" His voice was hoarse and high-pitched, like that of a eunuch.

He was dressed in a three-coat suit, a black coat, a long coat, a waist rope with three feathers loosely tied around his waist, a hand behind his back, and a slight bow.

As soon as the starving ghost turned around, he had a long, sunken face that was as thin as skin and bones, a pale eyebrow, small puffed triangular eyes, a tall and pointed nose, knife-cut lips, a stack of short hair on the top of his head, about fifty years old, his facial features were combined, all of them were evil, all of them were sharp, he was like an awl, poking and piercing.

"Ghost Lord!" The horse-faced soldier was overjoyed, and hurriedly shouted.

"! Ge Laozi, I can't find a grain of rice, I want to starve Lao Tzu to death! The "starving ghost" left disappointed after a search in a house, and was so angry that he knocked down a wall with one kick, and everyone else was silent.

He meandered up a stone-paved road, and gradually moved away, he knew that all the people in the city had been captured by the ghost masters and taken to the altar at the top of Baishi Town, so he hurried towards the altar with all his might, but he didn't want to meet the "starving ghost" who was searching from house to house with a team of men and horses halfway.

The horse-faced soldier is a layman, he doesn't know what art is, compared to this kind of ancient and clumsy style of Baishi City, he prefers the Central Plains kind of carved beams and paintings, Biwa Zhuyong painting style.

It has to be said that White Rock City is like a naturally cast art capital, very beautiful but not ingenious.

Because most of the buildings in the city are mainly white, there are few traces of artificially carved style, most of them are self-contained, one room and one cave, clumsy but atmospheric, in the atmosphere of the white wall, every household loves to hang a kind of embroidered carpet under the window, door and eaves, this embroidered carpet is a colorful and bright embroidered carpet embroidered by the main family with a needle and a thread, the embroidered carpet is hung like this, it is as beautiful as the flowers in the white clouds.

White Rock Castle is a beautiful mountain town with a harbor in front and a basin of daiwa in the back, dotted with lemon and olive trees, and covered by clear and bright white eaves.

After the horse-faced soldier trotted all the way into White Rock City, he encountered a group of patrolmen, he quickly grabbed one of them, and after asking where the ghost master was, he ran away with a smile and a smile.

——

"......" Yu Ziying heard this, and her head was full of black lines.

After what happened just now, Dadamu felt both admiration for Yu Ziying and a little apology for her malice, so when she raised the board, he waited for him, he quickly approached, his big thick face twisted his thick eyebrows, and looked at the board intently: "Pay attention to civilization? Who is civilization and why should it be bothered about him? ”

"Pay attention to civility." Yu Ziying frowned and handed over the board.

"A turtle son!" Dadamu heard the eager voice of the retainer, and immediately snorted violently, and then laughed proudly.

As he spoke, the horse-faced soldier told them to keep an eye on them, and then opened the gate and scurried in.

The horse-faced soldier slapped his thigh and waved his hand and shouted, "Wait, General! Just now, it was a small joke with you, your business, and wait for the small one to report to the above, and then give you a reply, you wait, wait, wait. ”

He was not afraid that Dadamu would go to the imperial court to complain, but he was reluctant to take on the cart of grain, knowing that although the money in the northern Xinjiang country was good, the grain was more precious, after all, when the famine was about to enter, no matter how much gold, silver and jewelry could not buy a bag of grain.

When the horse-faced soldier saw that Dadamu really turned around and was about to leave, he secretly screamed in his heart!

"Hmph, good! What a Yin Ghost Army of the King of Xuanyin! You and other small miscellaneous pieces dare to insult Lao Tzu so much, you wait and wait, when Lao Tzu sends the grain and grass back to the court, he will definitely sue him for the state of King Xuanyin! Let's go! ”

As soon as Dadamu heard the art of war, his mind flashed, and he understood in seconds, he couldn't help grinning at Yu Ziying in embarrassment, and also made a silent "sorry" mouth, and then puffed up his chest, with a face of arrogance and anger, and said to the horse-faced soldiers and others.

She knew that the Yin Ghost Army would never give up their piece of fat that was sent into their mouths, so the initiative was still in their hands.

Because hesitating to let him stay any longer, it will inevitably become entangled into another kind of incident, and it was she who immediately stood up and stopped him, and by the way, she used a move to retreat as an advance to temporarily ease the conflict.

She did let him go to the city gate to shout and be presumptuous, I thought he was just arrogant verbally, but I didn't expect him to pull out the matter of the dynasty and the king of Xuanyin, she just wanted to use the king of Xuanyin and the dynasty to be dirty in private, and still maintain such a peaceful relationship on the surface to negotiate, if he tore each other's faces when he was playing prestige, then there was really no need for people to let you into the city, and sent troops out of the city to rob the grain, kill people, and then destroy the corpse.

Yu Ziying glanced at him gloomily, the disdain in her eyes condensed into ice like substance, she didn't bother to write it again this time, and directly made a lip shape...... I want to get away with it.

"Lao Tzu doesn't care what tricks you are playing, Lao Tzu must enter the city, if you joke again, then Lao Tzu will tie you up and let them take them back!"

Isn't that preparing to enter the city, though? Why are you going back again? Dadam was puzzled, only to feel that Yu Ziying was clearly playing with him, and suddenly his hands were clenched into fists, and his chest rose and fell violently, as if a big balloon was about to explode.

No, when you look at the word "back", you can clearly understand where she is letting him go back.

"Back?! You say go back to the docks? Dadamu is gradually keeping up with Yu Ziying's brain circuits.

"Back." Yu Ziying took back the board and wrote again.

"Let's go? Where to? Dadam, confused, saw the head under his chin, and his hand tickled to remove the hood from her head to see what her expression was expressing.

Dadamu lowered his head and looked: go.

Shaking the collar of her cloak, she took out the clipboard she had brought with her from inside the cloak, held it up, and showed it to Dadamu.

Yu Ziying stood beside Dadamu, her height was only as high as his chest, and she suddenly had a sense of immediacy of a beast and a little delicate flower.

Because of the distance, they could clearly see that his walking posture was so light and smooth, the wide folded hem was like a thousand black lotus petals rippling in the water waves, and his steps were like degrees, every minute was unhurried and easy, even if he (her) could not see his (her) figure clearly, he could still feel the beauty of another posture.

Looking in the direction of his U-turn, they vaguely saw a dark blue cloak draped down to the ground walking behind Dadamu, he (she) was very petite, the whole person was covered in a wide and thick cloak, as if wrapped in a sack, hands and feet could not be seen, the hood of the cloak was tightly covered by the face of the person, from such a distance they could not see the outline of his body at all, it was not clear whether it was male or female, only roughly distinguishing its height.

The horse-faced soldiers and the others were frightened when they saw Dadam's action of drawing his sword, and they were about to call someone to fight, but they saw that Dadam's action was just halfway done, and suddenly stopped.

He paused, subconsciously feeling that she had something to say to him.

Seeing this, Dadamu was simply furious, he was really bad-tempered, he pulled out the iron ring knife with a snort, and when he was about to attack, Yu Guang saw Yu Ziying walking out of the convoy and walking towards him.

The horse-faced soldier stared at Dadamu with a pale face and a blue face, he was afraid of him in his heart, but he was unwilling to let him in like this, so he deliberately let his eyes open, and did not reply, and let him roar wildly there.

"General Ben asks you again, do you want to let go of the drawbridge!" Dadamu snapped.

And such a heart-wrenching charge, but he can't afford it, a small gatekeeper.

But...... This kind of thing can only be said behind the scenes, and ridiculed in private, just like many courtiers who can cover the sky, how to do evil in secret will not openly reveal that ambition to the world, because to do so is to make a return, a rebellion.

He can say that our Xuanyin King's subordinates never listen to your dynasty's bullshit orders, and the generals of your dynasty have no meaning at all in the eyes of our Yin Ghost Army, and the things of your dynasty are our Xuanyin King's, but our Xuanyin King's things are still our Xuanyin King's, and they have nothing to do with your bullshit!

The horse-faced soldier wanted to refute, but he couldn't, so he could only stare at Dadamugan.

"General, general, you ...... "You are purely crooked!" The horse-faced soldier was stunned.

Dadamu's words were more thunderous than every word, and every sentence was more impassioned than the other, and the sound shook everyone's eardrums and hearts for a while.

"Then the general asks you again, this general is the general of the central governor of the southern Xinjiang country, and he went to the territory to deliver disaster relief and food at the behest of my emperor, why did he enter his own city but was blocked from it, what is the reason, what is the reason, what is the reason?!"

“…… Be. The horse-faced soldier seemed to understand what Dadam's words meant, and his face suddenly became a little ugly.

Dadamu said again: "King Xuanyin was personally given by the emperor of my southern Xinjiang country and issued a decree to be named the king of the opposite sex, right? ”

“…… This, self-sufficient. ”

Dadamu said again: "The five ghosts belong to the Xuanyin King, right? ”

The horse-faced soldier didn't know why, and said worriedly: "Self." ”

Dadamu said: "The Yin Ghost Army belongs to the five ghosts, right? ”

The horse-faced soldier was stunned for a moment, but looking at Dadamu across the trench, he clenched his palms, and then he raised a sad smile again: "The general said." ”

"Shall I ask you?" Dadamu's eyes were dark, and his voice was as heavy as piercing clouds and breaking stones.

This is the "Rong Feng" of the Yin Ghost Army, which is also the banner of an army, they planted it on the head of the city, and it can be seen from a distance, which means that the city has been completely occupied by the Yin Ghost Army.

Dadamu lowered his eyes and glanced at the black banner planted high on the Bairong city wall, this flag is a triangle, the side is like a fierce tooth and jagged, and the pattern on it is a white skull head, and the eyes of the two black holes on the skull head are faintly burning with black and red flames.

Want to get in? Okay, let's learn to ask Lao Tzu first!

"Hehe, with General Dadamu's prestige in the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom, he naturally disdains to lie, but didn't you see the forbidden city order hanging on the city wall?" The horse-faced soldier shook his head and squinted his eyes sinisterly, smiling shyly, but the meaning of his words was deliberately making things difficult.

The horse-faced soldier's face turned white, and he instinctively clenched the spear in his hand, not daring to make eye contact with his burning eyes, only daring to spit in secret...... Let him be rampant for a while now, see if he sees the ghost lord and them later, and see if he dares to act majestic!

"You, Jue, De, Lao, Son, Will, Say, Lie?" He has a big knife and a slash to help Xi Yuan Gong and Mi Yu

Dadamu glared angrily, worthy of being a general, and the aura on his body, which was made of steel and blood, was powerful enough to make people shudder.

"Delivering food? Are you sure? The horse-faced soldier held back the excitement in his heart, covered his mouth and coughed lightly, and confirmed again with Dadamu in a serious manner.
