Chapter 152: The Mysterious Kidnapper
The next day, after Shi Xing handed over a small handful of the sands of time that opened the space to Emperor Xudu, he followed Di Ting and left Xudu City with Liudao, preparing to go to the territory of Du Ziren, the Southern Ghost Emperor.
The journey was not far, and taking the carriage given by Emperor Xudu, several people quickly arrived at the southern ghost town.
At this time, due to the death of the ghost emperor Du Ziren of the southern ghost city, the city has become a little chaotic, the city gate is wide open, there is no one to guard, and anyone can enter and exit from here.
Walking into the city, it is different from the prosperous scene of the capital city, at this time, the southern ghost town is full of broken walls, the streets are full of traces of fighting, you can hear scolding from time to time, and even turn into an alley, you can see the ruffian hooligan ghosts who are bullying people.
Shi Xing and the others followed behind Di Ting, and no one dared to come forward to make trouble for a while, after all, Di Ting's great name was also well-known in the entire underworld.
Di Ting looked at the dilapidated and dilapidated ghost town in the south, and sighed deeply, "It's a pity that a city that has developed for hundreds of years without a ruler can become like this in an instant." ”
Shi Xing nodded, deeply touched, if the capital city is a big city of peace and security, then the southern ghost city at this time is a chaotic ghost city full of artillery fire.
Following Di Ting, Shi Xing and the others soon came to Du Ziren's original house, probably because of the ghost guard, the entire house was not looted and destroyed.
Knocking lightly on the door, a ghost in armor opened the door, glanced at Shi Xing and the others, and immediately shouted in surprise, "Lord Diting, you are finally here, we got a notice from the Emperor a few days ago, saying that you are coming, we have been waiting for you for a long time, hurry, come in." ”
Di Ting nodded to the ghost and walked into the house with the punishment.
Du Ziren's house is not big, only the size of an ordinary supermarket, but the layout is very beautiful, there are mountains and rivers, and the flowers and plants are very neatly built, which shows that Du Ziren is also a careful person.
They followed the ghost all the way to the front hall, where a general-like figure stood waiting for them.
"The southern ghost city guard, Han Yu has seen Lord Diting." Han Yu, who was wearing armor, immediately made a big salute to Di Ting.
Di Ting nodded, and asked in a somewhat stern tone, "Han Yu, as a general defending the city, why didn't you immediately send troops to pacify and suppress the turmoil in the city. ”
Han Yu buried his head very low, shocked that Di Ting was a little angry, and said in a somewhat frightened tone, "My lord doesn't know, since the death of the Ghost Emperor, a group of mysterious people suddenly appeared in the ghost city, they are strong, a large part of the brothers I led died at their hands, if there is a defensive ban outside the house left by the Ghost Emperor, maybe the remaining brothers were also killed by them?" ”
"Mystery man?" Di Ting didn't know the situation in the ghost town in the south, and asked strangely, "Do you have any news?" ”
Hearing Di Ting's words, Han Yu immediately raised his head and said in a low voice, "My lord, although we are temporarily trapped in the house, many of our eyes and ears are still outside to provide us with clues, I have to say that these brothers are really working outside with their lives, although we died once, but ......"
"Getting to the point." Di Ting immediately interrupted Han Yu, "Don't worry, when everything is settled, I will go and ask Emperor Xudu to ask for some Yang Shou for you." ”
"Oh, that's really thanks, sir." Seeing that his goal was achieved, Han Yu immediately changed his words and said, "A few days ago, those brothers outside sent me a message, saying that those mysterious people didn't do anything to ordinary ghosts except for killing our ghosts, but just arrested them for questioning, and then released them again. Listen to the ghosts who have been released, those mysterious people may be looking for something. ”
"Looking for something?" Di listened and looked at the punishment.
Shi Xing nodded, knowing in his heart that these people were most likely from Jiuli.
"Anything else." Di Ting looked at Han Yu again.
Han Yu heard Di Ting's words, his face was a little hesitant, "There is one more thing, but I don't know whether to say it or not, if I say it, I offend people, you also know that Xiao's strength is weak, and in this underworld, it is a personal ......."
"I'll protect you if something happens, but it's okay." Di Ting looked at Han Yu a little helplessly, and really couldn't understand how Du Ziren, such a ghost who was greedy for life and afraid of death and liked to take advantage, chose him as the general of the city.
After receiving the promise of Di Ting, Han Yu immediately whispered, "Also, it is that some ghosts dressed as ordinary ghosts have recently sneaked into the city, judging by the tone of voice and the style of acting, it is very likely that they are ghosts in the central ghost town." ”
Di heard Han Yu's words and asked curiously, "Are you so sure that they are ghosts, or are they from the Central Ghost City?" ”
Han Yu immediately nodded, "My lord, I'm not joking with you, my buddies have been ghosts for hundreds of years, and the ghosts in various places are quite familiar with each other, so you can know where they came from at a glance." ”
Di Ting nodded, "Okay, I see." ”
"En, okay, my lord, the room has been arranged for you, if there is nothing to do, I will retire first."
Di Ting nodded and motioned for Han Yu to leave.
"That's right, sir." Han Yu, who had just walked to the door, suddenly turned around again and said to Di Ting, "My lord, don't forget, those brothers of mine, and my ......."
"Okay, let's go, let's go, I can't forget."
"Okay, my lord, you can rest, I have something to say." After Han Yu finished speaking, he immediately left the front hall.
Di Ting looked at Shi Xing a little helplessly, "It's really the first time I've seen such a person, but I can hear his heart, he is not a bad person, and he is not lying." ”
Shi Xing nodded, and then left the front hall, and the little ghost who came in with Shi Xing at the door immediately stepped forward and took Shi Xing and the others to the room that had been cleaned up.
After resting for a while, the three of them got together again to discuss things.
"Shi Xing, now that everything is going on on the emperor's side, what are you going to do on our side."
Shi Xing took a sip of tea, "Now there are two groups of suspicious people in the southern ghost town, one is the mysterious kidnapper, and the other is the ghost in the central ghost town. ”
Di Ting nodded, "That's right, I think the two ghost emperors in the central ghost city are the most suspicious, and neither of them participated in this battle." ”
Liudao, who was sitting on the side, suddenly spoke, "That one is called Yang Yun, I don't feel very good about him. ”
"Which one is Yang Yun?" Shi Xing asked with some curiosity, after all, there are so many ghost kings, how can they remember them all.
"It's the first one to leave, with a sharp-beaked monkey cheek and a vicious look in his eyes." Di Ting said in a flat tone.
"He's really feeling bad." Shi Xing quickly remembered that person, that look full of viciousness. "By the way, what kind of person is the other Central Ghost Emperor?"
"You mean Zhang Heng."
Shi Xing nodded.
"I have actually dealt with Zhang Heng a lot, he is an honest and responsible person, I don't think it's him."
"In that case, then it is most likely Yang Yun."
Di Ting and Liudao nodded.
Shi Xing looked at the man and beast who suddenly stopped talking, shook his head and smiled, "Okay, these are just guesses, and they don't count when there is no absolute evidence." But now that we're in the light and the enemy in the dark, we're still quite passive. ”
"Why don't we take the initiative?" Liudao looked at Shi Xing suspiciously.
Shi Xing shook his head, "When everything is unknown, standing still may be the best option. ”
