504 Three Sights
Actually, this is the third time I've seen Ghost Shuai!
The first time was in the longevity restaurant in Zuoqiu City, Ghost Shuai and his subordinate Qin Jia came to the store to eat as two ghost merchants, and also asked me about the gladiatorial arena, especially interested in Hei Tai Sui. That night, Hei Tai Sui and Sandao escaped from the gladiatorial arena, and the two former ghost fighters subsequently became Ghost Shuai's subordinates. Hmph, if it was said that this had nothing to do with the ghost back then, then it would be strange!
However, at that time, I was just a ghost chef, and occasionally served as a nurse in the Longevity Hotel, with low cultivation and little knowledge, so it was impossible to associate the two of them with the ghost handsome and the ghost army, and I actually passed by a hero in the underworld. It is estimated that Ghost Shuai and Qin Jia will not remember me at that time, so the first meeting between us turned the page so lightly.
The second time I met Ghost Shuai was in the continuous caves under the city of Hanchang. At that time, I hurried to Hanchang City with the Yin Army to investigate the case of the ghost army's interference with the Reception Division, and I was trying to quickly go to destroy the ghost army's soul detention array. As a result, they fell into an ambush when they were about to reach their destination, and the Night Rangers were severely attacked by the ghost army led by the ghost marshal and suffered heavy losses.
However, that time the ghost handsome appeared wearing a mask and did not show his true face. He managed to escape after engaging Marshal Night Tour, and I led the 8th Battalion of the Night Tour Army in the position of the rear of the palace, and I could only watch from afar, and had no chance to cross paths with him.
But today's third meeting, it was the ghost Shuai who came to the door in person, I'm afraid the purpose of his trip is to find me. From a nobody to a ghost and handsome harbor master, although my encounters and creations over the years have been like riding a roller coaster, while ups and downs, they are also rising step by step.
Last time, the ghost commander sent Wu Fang to find Liu Han, just to blow the pillow wind to me through Liu Han and let me join the ghost army. But Liu Han is also an assertive person, although she forgave Wu Fang for abandoning her back then, she refused Wu Fang's request, and even did not agree to let Wu Fang meet me. Unexpectedly, after two years, the ghost handsome came to the door by himself.
He really still thinks about me and my Stygian Harbor!
However, before coming this time, Ghost Shuai deliberately went to the deep sea to catch a Stygian Sea Dragon, and brought it to Guishan Restaurant to ask my master to cook a ghost meal for him, what kind of thoughts did he have?
But in any case, with the strength of the ghost army, Hades Harbor can't afford to provoke it at the moment. Besides, Ghost Shuai just offered to hand over the dragon body of the Stygian Sea Dragon to my master for an all-dragon banquet, and he wanted to invite the people of the whole city to eat, which was also a gesture of goodwill. So I decided not to rush until I figured out what he was trying to do.
"The ghost is here, the harbor is just a small place, I'm afraid the hospitality is not good, please forgive me!" I hugged my fist at the ghost handsome without humility or arrogance, and said.
"Hahaha!" The ghost handsome laughed heartily three times, and also stood up and solemnly saluted me with a fist, saying, "Lord Zhai Hong is polite!" When I first arrived in Hades Harbor, I didn't say hello first, and sent someone to report it, I was abrupt. ”
I also smiled reluctantly, forcing myself to ignore the point that made me really embarrassed and very unhappy just now, and continued to ask modestly, "I wonder what is the impression of the ghost handsome of the harbor?" ”
"Good, good!" Ghost Shuai praised three more times and said to me: "It is said that this place was originally just a small fishing village, and it only took a few years for the owner of Zhai Port to build it into a big port, which is really impressive!" Heh, the harbor has sufficient resources, faces the Stygian Sea, is backed by the Ghost Eating Forest, and there is no other entrance on the land route except for a trail, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is indeed a good development base! ”
Base?
As soon as I heard this word, I couldn't help but immediately become vigilant again. The current Hades Harbor is already a Yin City on the right track in every way. The ghost handsome called the Underworld Harbor a "base", which seems to have ill intentions!
"Where! Where! It's just a newly established small 'Yin City', which is not worthy of such praise from the ghost handsome! Although my tone was still modest, I deliberately put the emphasis on the word "Yin Cheng".
The ghost shuai also seemed to understand the meaning of my words, so he only smiled and did not answer.
After a few polite sentences, no one actually got to the point. As long as he was silent again, he couldn't talk anymore that day, and the other people present didn't dare to interject at will, and the atmosphere couldn't help but be a little awkward.
So, I asked, "I'm afraid the ghost handsome came here this time, I'm afraid it's not just to eat ghost meals and visit the harbor, right?" ”
Ghost Shuai nodded, paused, and then took the initiative to propose: "Lord Zhai, there are many people and ghosts here, and the mouth is too mixed, I hope to talk to you alone." ”
Sure enough, he still came to me, and asked for a secret talk, which is certainly not easy!
Before I could answer, Liu Han, who was standing next to me, pulled my sleeve first and gave me a look. I naturally understood what she meant, first, I was worried that I would be in danger, and second, I was worried that I would be fooled by the ghost.
However, since everyone is here, there is no way to hide at this time, so it is better to talk about it first. Even if you want to do it, you have to pay attention to the salute before the soldiers, right?
So, I also pinched her hand and signaled to her: "Don't worry, I have my own measure!" ”
"There's a seat upstairs, why don't we go up there and talk about it?" I raised my hand and replied confidently.
"That's the best feeling! Ha ha! ”
Continuing his trademark hearty laugh, the ghost raised his feet and walked up the stairs. Qin Jia didn't follow very interestingly, and when my subordinates saw it, they all stopped stupidly, and also stayed in the hall.
Ascending to the second floor, I took the ghost into a private room facing the sea, and from the window I could directly see the pier of the harbor. Each of us pulled a chair and sat down facing each other.
Since it is a secret conversation, there is no need to be polite. As soon as I sat down, I asked straight to the point, "What is the reason why the ghost marshal is here this time?" ”
The ghost handsome still had a smile on his face, and replied very casually: "I heard that you have built a ghost port here, which is called: 'No ghost slaves, people and ghosts are equal', so I came to take a look." Well, that's true! ”
I didn't eat his flattering words, and said in my heart: "Hmph, it sounds good!" I'm afraid that you are now being chased everywhere by the underworld, and you have to fall into the harbor, right? ”
But before I could reply, Ghost Shuai then changed the conversation and asked me directly: "What did you think about what Wu Fang came to tell you before?" ”
I was stunned for a moment, and then I understood. In fact, Wu Fang didn't meet me directly two years ago, but I already knew the meaning of the ghost through Liu Han's conveyance.
"Nothing to think about!" I replied bluntly, "The development momentum of the Underworld Harbor is quite good now, and I, the owner of the port, are also very comfortable, and there is no need to join the ghost army at all, and then go to the kind of days of fighting, killing, and displacement." ”
Ghost Shuai was not in a hurry when he heard this, but still smiled and said: "Well, the current development of the Styx Harbor is quite good, but is the Difu happy to see this?" ”
This seemingly frivolous question felt very harsh to my ears. I was slightly angry in my heart, and said secretly: "It's really a pot that can't be opened!" ”
But I'm not confused when I'm over the age, and I've been a Hong Kong lord for so long, so naturally I'm not as impulsive as when I was young, and I also put on a very calm expression on my face, and replied dignifiedly: "The ghost is still asking about me being wanted by the underworld before, right?" It was just a misunderstanding, not a big mistake. But speaking of which, I can get this wanted warrant should actually be due to the ghost handsome! ”
"Huh, huh?" Ghost Shuai didn't smile so crisply this time, and he was a little embarrassed. But he is also an old man, so he immediately shifted his focus and said: "Actually, the reason and truth are sometimes not important to the underworld. The best thing about King Yama is face, he can't tolerate a thief who dares to blatantly build a new city on his territory. Therefore, I think it is only a matter of time before the Yin army sets out to conquer the Harbor! ”
"Although the harbor has a long-term vision, there is no immediate danger. Besides, since we can repel the Giant Waterfall City, we don't necessarily can't stop the Yin Army! "I unceremoniously directly blocked the words that the ghost shuai wanted to use the topic to play.
"Hahaha!" The ghost shuai looked up to the sky and laughed approvingly: "Lord Zhai, I really appreciate your self-confidence!" With just a harbor, you dare to speak up against the Yin Army! But you yourself have been in the Yin Army, do you think that with the current military strength of the Stygian Harbor, if you face the attack of the Yin Army, what are the odds of victory? ”
I didn't want to answer his question head-on, so I said, "Even if you can't beat it, you have to fight!" I built the harbor, and I will defend it! ”
"Hehe, that's good! Not bad" Ghost Shuai saw that this road was impassable, and he snorted again, and the conversation changed again, and said: "That's it, let's stop going around the corner, if we have something to say, we will say it openly!" I know that if I were to ask you now if you would like to join my ghost army, you would definitely say no. Then I'll ask another question: Are you happy that our ghost army will join the Stygian Harbor and fight against the Yin Army together? ”
"The Ghost Army joins Stygian Harbor?"
Rao was wary, but I was still shocked by Ghost Shuai's words. I really didn't think that he would make such a suggestion directly, and for a moment I felt that it was not right to answer no, and it was definitely not to answer immediately!
"I'm very sincere when I say this, otherwise I wouldn't have brought just one entourage, Qin Jia, to come over to talk to you." The ghost marshal spread his hands and emphasized: "My ghost army troops are still elsewhere now, but as soon as I issue a summoning order, those ghost generals will immediately bring troops to join the harbor!" ”
"Why are you willing to help Stygian? Are there any other intentions? ”
"Yes!"
I was stunned again. He actually directly admitted that he had intentions for Stygian?
The ghost handsome did not shy away from it, and said bluntly: "If I say that I brought the ghost army to help you just to help others, I'm afraid that even any three-year-old ghost in the Stygian Harbor won't believe it, let alone you?" But my intentions are actually very simple, and really simple, because your creed is the same as my ideals, and the enemy is also the same. In that case, why can't we be allies? ”
