Chapter 343: The Messenger
Although the Peach Blossom Demon behaved perfectly and easily in front of the Dragon King, it was actually not a simple matter to completely control this ghost city like a Terran city.
In the past, there was no order and law in the ghost town, and it was all based on the strength of the ghosts themselves, survival of the fittest, some similar to raising Gu, whoever had the biggest fist would have the hardest words.
In the face of near-unprecedented reforms, both lifestyles and laws regulating behavior are being tried step by step, and it is not easy to manage a ghost town that houses thousands of ghosts in an orderly manner.
Even though there are a lot of officials under his command to share the pressure for him, the workload is still terrifying, so that he can usually wait by the king's side, but now he is so busy that he can only pass it once in a while.
At this time, among the case files in front of her, some are about the funding of some departments, some are about the disputes of some big demons, and the security department is not strong enough to judge, and they are handed over to her, and some are about the expansion of the ghost market.
Du Bai's hands-off shopkeeper is extremely irresponsible, although the ideas he occasionally puts forward are very useful and the prospects are very broad, but the exact implementation will fall on them, which will be more exhausting.
If it weren't for the fact that she was a great monster who had cultivated for eight hundred years, I am afraid that she would be tired and have a headache.
But even so, when she heard that Lin Cheng, who came in a hurry, said that this letter was related to the king, she immediately cheered up, put aside all the other official documents for the time being, and reached out to take the letter in her hand and looked at it carefully.
"It is indeed the breath of a king...... " Immediately, she nodded slightly, her eyes thoughtful.
The aura of a ghost king of this level like the Great King is something that no one can imitate, she has been by his side for hundreds of years, and she has long been very familiar with his breath, let alone mistaken for it.
But the question is, why does the king's breath appear on a mortal's letter?
Most of her attention was on this, which was the most important and noteworthy for them, and as for the content of the letter, it was not worth mentioning anything like taking care of those few mortals.
"Who is this Du Bai?" She raised her slightly meaningful eyes and looked at Lin Cheng and asked.
Lin Cheng shook his head slightly, bowed slightly and simply repeated what Xu Zhiyan said before, and then said in a deep voice: "It is precisely because my subordinates can't confirm this that they rushed back to report it, and I also ask Lord Peach Blossom to decide......"
The Peach Blossom Demon nodded and put the letter away: "You have done a good job, I will go and ask the king about this matter." ”
After all, it's not a trivial matter that concerns the king, and you have to ask to understand.
It's just that just when she was about to get up and go to the main hall where the king was resting, suddenly a majestic voice came from outside the room: "No need, this king already knows about this." ”
"King!"
The peach blossom demon's face was happy, and the rest of the ghosts and monsters were all startled, and they were subconsciously hearing the sound, only to see that a tall figure had appeared in the room silently at some point, and was slowly walking.
"Meet the King!"
All the ghosts hurriedly knelt down and saluted, for fear that they would anger the king if they were not thoughtful.
"No need to be polite."
Du Bai's gaze swept over everyone present, and finally fell on the peach blossom demon who was ushered in and the letter in his hand that was written by "himself", the first indirect meeting of the two doppelgangers was inexplicably due to the interlacing of their own cognition, and there were some discordant and absurd illusions in their hearts, but fortunately, it was only for a moment, and it was not reflected.
"This letter is indeed the king's instruction...... Written by Du Bai. ”
He said.
"The subordinate understood. It's just that I don't know who this human race named Du Bai is? ”
The Peach Blossom Demon was adopted by the Dragon King when she was just a spirit, and has been with her for hundreds of years now, believing that she is the closest person to him among the many ghost city subordinates, but she has never heard of this unfamiliar name.
Now that she suddenly heard this name beside her, and the other party could even use the breath of the king, it can be seen that the king seems to be quite serious about her, and this happened without her knowing it, which made her feel a little uneasy in her heart.
"Isn't the king still not at ease and distrustful of himself? Could it be that he did something wrong to make the king dissatisfied? Could it be that the Terran would do better than itself? ”
She suddenly suffered a little bit of gain and loss, and there were some complicated feelings in her heart, and even the eyes that looked at the king were a little resentful.
Du Bai naturally didn't guess what the other party was thinking, but she was a little puzzled, her eyes became a little strange, but she still continued to say what she had prepared: "Actually, this person was specially arranged by this king in the human race...... Secret envoy, find out the news of the world for this king, and search for talents who can contribute to my ghost town. ”
"This person's mind and talent are good, quite in line with the king's wishes, and it was finally decided after a period of investigation before, so I didn't inform you in time. It's not too late, just remember who he is. ”
These excuses naturally have some loopholes, but I believe that with my own identity, even if those who know find some, they will not dare to say it, and even more so, they will make up the reasons for it in their own brains, and will not bring any unnecessary trouble to themselves.
"Emissary?" The Peach Blossom Demon was a little comforted when he learned that he didn't trust him, but then he had some doubts about this position.
As the agent of today's ghost town management, she is naturally a little sensitive to these positions.
"Dare to ask the king, why did you deliberately place a human race as a secret envoy?"
"Because the way of the human race is flourishing now, it naturally has its own reason. If we don't want to rest on our laurels, we need to humbly learn from these Terrans, who are weak but knowledgeable. Du Bai explained lightly, "Just like this ...... The person recommended by Du Bai was once an important minister of the imperial court, and he was very familiar with many secret affairs of the imperial court, and he also had many opinions on how to manage the imperial government. ”
"With the help of this person, I think we will be able to manage the ghost town with half the effort, and we will go further in terms of law and development......"
"I see......"
The Peach Blossom Demon nodded slightly, now that she has managed the ghost town for a while, she has some understanding of the hard work that the king said. If this Terran can really help themselves, that's good.
"Then arrange for the old man to be introduced into the ghost town as soon as possible to help, and remember not to slack off."
