Late at night, I was discussing with Liu Han in the dormitory whether to resign and leave the underworld, when there was a knock on the door. It turned out that Cheng Youliang overheard a big secret about me, so he hurriedly came to report to me.

He said that Liao Keng, the head of the imperial dining room, took two letters to the current Marshal Gan Sheng of the Japanese Tour and reported that I was a colleague with Lu Zhidao!

I was furious and scolded: "Liao Keng, this villain! What he did was a complete frame-up! The first letter is true, but where did the second letter come from? ”

Cheng Youliang laughed and said, "Do you still need to ask?" They must have forged it! ”

Hearing this, I couldn't help but secretly muse: "Kuai Qian and Liao Keng are going to be unfavorable to me, which I have long expected. But what I didn't expect was that they were so black, and they dared to forge letters to frame me for colluding with Lu Dao, clearly intending to kill me! ”

"Moreover, Gan Sheng also knew that I could fry yin food, and he also borrowed my cooking skills to please Guo Lu. Even he didn't want to help me clarify, probably trying his best to clarify the relationship between him and Lu Zhidao before. It seems that this underworld really can't stay, and you have to leave immediately! ”

Cheng Youliang was also urging me: "This kind of thing is three points true and seven points false, but once someone deliberately wants to harm you, no matter how you explain it, it can't be explained." Don't hesitate any longer, hurry up and find a way to get out of the underworld! ”

"Brother Cheng, it's a shame for you to tell me in advance, otherwise I may lose my head for some reason!" I was very grateful, and said with a straight face: "Brother Cheng's move is like a life-saving grace for me, and I will give my life to repay if I have the opportunity in the future!" ”

"Hey! You and I are comrades-in-arms who have been born and died together, so why bother to stick to this? Cheng Youliang waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "If I didn't know you well enough, I wouldn't doubt what Gan Sheng said." It's useless to talk too much, so let's go! ”

So, I asked Cheng Youliang to go back to the camp first, so as not to let other people with ulterior motives see it, but it would affect him. Back in the room, I told Liu Han about it and asked her to come with me.

Liu Han said: "If I want to leave, I have to go back to get my crescent halberd and other belongings." Besides, it's too dazzling for the two of us to walk together, and now it's just you who are in danger, and I'm nothing. Why don't you go first, and I'll look for you later? ”

I thought it made sense, so I agreed.

Liu Han asked me again, where to find me in the future? I thought about it casually in a hurry, and then said, "Now it's not safe for us to go to any big yin city, so we can only go to some small places to settle down temporarily." I think let's go to the eighteenth hole first! ”

"Okay, I remember!"

Subsequently, Liu Han took advantage of the night to leave and went back to the women's barracks. I quickly packed some of my necessary luggage and belongings, including the porcelain vase containing the bookworm ghost. There must have been some danger on the way to escape, so I simply put on my full set of armor, carried the spear that King Yama had given me, and left the dormitory, all the way to the Ghost Gate.

Hurriedly went to the Ghost Gate, only to find that I just happened to run into the gate of the trade tonight. I pretended to go around the gate with him before I prepared to go out of the military gate.

Guan Mao asked me: "Where is the general going so late?" ”

I pretended to be very casual and smiled: "It's been a long night, I'll go to the Kanwai Market to buy some wine and come back to drink!" ”

Guan Mao also smiled and said, "How about the general bring me a bottle too?" After a while, I'll drink with you! ”

"That's right!" I patted him on the shoulder, turned around and was about to walk out of the gate.

The soldiers guarding the gate are all my subordinates, so naturally they will not stop me, but they will salute when they see me. But just as I was about to step out of the gate, a man next to me suddenly reached out and stopped me and told me to wait.

"I'm sorry, General!" He cautiously smiled and said, "The villain's duty is to offend!" ”

I looked at it and saw that the man was not a Yin soldier, he was wearing a Yin uniform, and it turned out to be a person from the Yin Law Division. He had something similar to a gossip array in his hand, and before I could figure out what was going on, he swept it over me.

"Dididi!"

The array suddenly emitted a burst of red light, and it sounded softly a few times.

The smile on Yincha's face disappeared suddenly, and he said to me with some hesitation: "General, do you have a soul in you?" Please hand it over for me to see! ”

I'm carrying a bookworm ghost, but I can't give it to him. So, I pretended to be angry and said, "I'm the Yin general on duty at the Ghost Gate today, you dare to stop me?" Are you deliberately trying to embarrass me in front of my men? ”

"This ......" The yin cha hesitated even more, but still refused to let go, and shouted in his mouth: "General, don't embarrass me, Judge Cui sent me to guard here, and anyone who carries a soul on his body is not allowed to leave the city!" ”

"What if I have to go out of the city?"

"General, then I can only ...... to Judge Cui truthfully"

"Click!"

After a slight crack, the yin suddenly tilted his neck, rolled his eyes, and collapsed to the ground.

I looked at the person standing behind him, it was Guan Mao. It turned out that Guan Mao suddenly reached out from behind and strangled Yincha's neck and twisted it hard, killing him on the spot!

I was stunned for a moment, looking at Guan Mao and didn't know what to say.

Guan Mao stretched out his foot and kicked the fallen corpse, and said to me in an unusually calm tone: "General, you are still wearing full armor late at night and going out with weapons in your hands, I'm afraid it's not just to buy wine, right?" ”

I felt a chill in my heart and said secretly: "Not good! Still seen by him! But why did he kill that coward? ”

Guan Mao saw that I was surprised, and then showed a meaningful smile again, and said, "General, you killed this person, and it has nothing to do with me!" And, in a quarter of an hour at the latest, I'll have to find his body, and then I'm going to blow the alarm! ”

As soon as he said that, I finally understood. I gratefully clasped my fists at him and said, "Thank you! Brothers! ”

"Since you recognize me as a brother, you don't need to say this nonsense, let's go!"

Guan Mao moved the shady corpse to the side, and dozed off with his back against the city wall, probably able to fool around. The other soldiers who saw the whole process had some doubts on their faces, but they gave me one last military salute. They are all veterans brought by Guan Mao from the eighth battalion of the army after the night tour, and their loyalty is absolutely not to be said.

With tears in my eyes, I stood outside the Ghost Gate and gave them the most standard military salute. If there is any regret about leaving the underworld at this time, I am afraid that I am reluctant to carry these soldiers under my command for several years!

Life and death comrades, once parted! The love of comrades-in-arms can only be reported in the future!

I finally escaped from the underworld, and I didn't dare to stop along the way, and went straight to the eighteenth hole. The fastest and most secret way to get from the underworld to the eighteenth cave should be by boat. So, I first passed through one of the Yin veins outside the Ghost Gate, and then headed to Jiuqu City, where there were many small passenger boats available for me to rent.

At the risk of cutting off my head, Kanmao bought me a quarter of an hour to escape. This quarter of an hour naturally can't get me out of danger completely, and the only thing I can rely on on how to evade the pursuers sent by the underworld is a treasure that I obtained many years ago but have never had a chance to use: Buye's black cloth cover!

At the beginning, Bu Ye relied on this treasure to repeatedly escape alone when the caravan encountered catastrophes, and he also got the nickname of "Old Immortal" in Zuoqiu City.

However, this black cloth cover has been almost hidden at the bottom of the box by me since I got it, and I only accidentally turned it out when I was packing my luggage while I was on the run. As soon as I had an idea, I simply used it as a backpack and hid it under my body to get out of the ghost gate.

On the way to Jiuqu City, I was alone, but such a goal was too abrupt. You must know that the living people who travel to and from the roads between the Yin City must be caravans as the main form, and only when many people cooperate dare to go on the road. Walking alone in this kind of underground wilderness, it really doesn't seem like a normal person's doing, wouldn't the deserter behind him catch it when he saw it?

Therefore, I didn't dare to light the light along the way, so I relied on a few fluorescent stones in my hand to move forward in the dark. Fortunately, I often travel to and from this trade route, and I am very familiar with the road conditions and terrain, so I will not get lost. As for whether you will encounter any monsters or ghost bandits along the way, you can only rely on luck.

Two hours after escaping from the underworld, the first wave of pursuers sent by the underworld arrived. During my military career, I had developed a keen ear to hear the sounds of the army on the march long in advance. It should have been a small force of a few dozen people, most likely the strength of an infantry battalion.

I hid on the side of the road in time, buried the spear hastily with earth, and covered myself from head to toe with a black cloth, leaving no trace. Sure enough, the battalion of infantry didn't notice me at all and ran straight in front of me.

There are two small holes in the black cloth cover through which I can observe the situation outside. I recognized the Yin School of this battalion chasing soldiers as one of the subordinates of the Yin General Shan Wuji before the Japanese tour. It seems that the current Marshal Gan Sheng still wants to make meritorious contributions, and instead of mobilizing a large army from the prefecture to hunt me down, he still handed over this task to Shan Wuji.

Shan Wuji only had one canine cavalry battalion under him, and he was too cautious, perhaps he really thought that I had collusion with Lu Zhidao inside and outside, and he was afraid that there would be my response outside the pass, and he might encounter an ambush if he rashly pursued him, so he did not separate the cavalry. Therefore, there are ten yin veins outside the ghost gate, and the chance of choosing one out of ten will certainly not have such good luck.

Of course, in the same way, I didn't need to be so cautious in the dark just now, I should have started a torch and ran all the way, so that they wouldn't catch up. However, blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, and until the moment when you can truly get rid of the pursuers, any choice and decision can only rely on your own intuition and experience.

After walking for another two hours, the battalion of soldiers turned around and came back from the front. I dodged in time to do so, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief in my heart. At least the first wave of pursuers has escaped, but the next wave of pursuers may be more difficult to deal with, because the ones sent will probably be replaced by canine cavalry!
