Chapter 229: The Secret Plan
"The ancestors are slabs, what kind of birds." Li Kui drank wine and scolded, looking very unhappy.
Cauliflower turned her head to look at me, and both of them were overjoyed in their eyes, knowing that the arrogance of the Golden Taibao looked down on a reckless and rough man like Li Kui, but I didn't expect it to be the case.
"This is really a rare opportunity, at least Li Kui will not go to the Golden Taibao." I leaned into Cauliflower's ear and whispered a laugh.
When the jar of wine was about to dry, the fleet had already arrived next to Nangou City, and Li Kui got off the boat and went to greet the soldiers first.
I took the opportunity to look at Nangou City, the city wall of Nangou City is solid, there is a rungs of the Netherworld River in front, and there is a hundred-meter-long large suspension bridge in the middle.
The Netherworld Fire is black, burning in a hula-la-la-hu, walking on the suspension bridge, you can still feel the monstrous heat wave.
"In wartime, as long as this suspension bridge is raised, even the Daluo Immortal will not want to cross this hundred-meter-wide sea of fire, this fire is fierce, it can burn any kind of metal, iron armor, there is the Netherworld River and this sea of fire, a water and a fire to protect the city, it is extremely difficult for the mortal world to break into the Yin Division." Ma Tiexin explained as he walked.
"This is a troublesome matter, in this way, unless the city lord of Nangou takes the initiative to put the bridge to surrender to the enemy, it is really impossible to break through." I nodded.
"It seems that the king does have some vision, and he chose Li Kui, who is not loved by money, to guard here, I am afraid that he will also prevent the city lord from being bribed and bribed to join the enemy." Cauliflower Road.
"That's right, with Li Kui's character, I'm afraid it's not easy for him to surrender or betray his master." I sighed slightly.
It is true that my impression of the black whirlwind Li Kui's frankness and straightforwardness is still good, this person is bold and has a great appetite for me and cauliflower, but if one day we really want to meet on the battlefield, this reckless man will definitely fight to the death, and it is also a very sad thing to think about.
When they arrived at the base of the Nangou City Wall, the well-trained Yin soldiers were searching the merchants and ghosts, because it was wartime, and it was not allowed to bring any weapons, firearms, and other prohibited items into the Nangou City.
But fortunately, Xiang Yumeng was there, and Li Kui greeted him again, and our group was not only interrogated when we entered the city, but was treated with great courtesy.
Entering the city, what imprints into the eye is a huge square, in the middle of the square, a god will stand majestically in the sky, the stone carving power is strong, the god will be carved lifelike, holding the treasure carving bow, making the red eyes want to crack the angry state, the yellow horse under the crotch is crying angrily, there is a heroic spirit rushing to the face, so not mighty.
Ma Tiexin and Xiang Yutian respectfully walked to the stone statue and bowed three times, while Cauliflower clasped her hands in a solemn manner.
"Brother Qin, do you know the origin of this stone statue?" Cauliflower asked coldly. I shook my head and said, "I don't know! But judging from his appearance and weapons, he should be an old hero who is good at using a longbow."
Thinking of this, I said in awe: "Isn't it Huang Hansheng among the Five Tiger Divine Generals, General Huang." ”
Ma Tiexin interjected: "That's right, it is General Hansheng, the evil general Xiahoudun under the King of Wei in the past, personally led 50,000 Yin soldiers to attack Nangou City, General Hansheng was ordered by Prime Minister Zhuge Liang, and the remaining four gods will rush to Yin Si from the Chengdu Temple in the body of a god to help King Qin Guang resist the enemy, General Hansheng led the troops to resist the enemy in this city at that time, and fought fiercely with Xiahoudun for several days, the old general killed countless enemies, killed Xiahoudun army lost his armor and abandoned his armor, and fired the first cannon for the Yin Division to quell the rebellion, and later the old general died in the war, in order to pay tribute to him, highlight the merits of General Hansheng, King Qin Guang ordered this statue to be built for respect. ”
"It's really an old general who is loyal to the liver and courage, and wears Yang in a hundred steps." I was in awe and hurriedly bowed my hand.
After passing through the main square and walking about 100 meters inside, it is the main city of Nangou City.
Although Nangou City is not as good as the other eight cities, it also belongs to one of the nine cities, far more prosperous than the ethereal city, the city is full of lanterns, all kinds of shops, restaurants are bustling, it is still noisy, if it is not for the soldiers at the gate of the city, it is difficult to feel the atmosphere of the imminent war in the city.
"You can still light fires and hang lanterns, it seems that Nangou City is quite avant-garde." I smiled as I pointed to the lantern in the distance.
"There's no way, there are a lot of mortal merchants in Nangou City, this is a city where people and ghosts are mixed, you can't let these big merchants live in a daze, Lao Qin, if you like it, there are even brothels here, do you want to try it." Ma Tiexin showed two rows of big white teeth and said with a smile.
I smiled and ignored him.
In fact, this is also related to the geographical location of Nangou City, there are death deserts, ghost side cities, and ghost side grasslands in the rear, and it is impossible for the soldiers of the Heavenly Master Mansion to fight here for a while, and there are dark rivers and suspension bridges in front, and there are fierce generals like the black whirlwind Li Kui in the city, so the people here don't have to worry about war at all.
On the contrary, because all the materials and the strong men captured from the yang world had to be deployed in Nangou City to the other four southern cities, this not very large city, mixed with yin and merchants, can be described as extremely lively.
"There are only two gates in Nangou City, the south gate is the gate for us to enter, and it is also the only way to attack this city from the mortal world, and the north gate to the south is the city of Blackwater City, Animal City, and the city of the South King are all dead in vain, and to the north is the Death Desert and the Ghost Fang City, if we can beat this person and jointly attack the Ghost Fang City with the Heavenly Master's Mansion, the Heavenly Master's Mansion will be able to break through the dilemma of being beaten passively and lacking materials in front of us." Cauliflower explained in a whisper.
"Well, the location of this city is too important, and we have to think about it when we go back." I nodded.
As he was talking, he said, "Master Xiang, the city lord has already prepared wine and food and gone to the room in the city government, please come with me." A general led a group of people over and bowed respectfully.
"There is General Lao leading the way." Xiang Yumeng smiled and raised his hand, it was not the first time he had dealt with Li Kui, and he was also very familiar with Nangou City, so it was just a gift from the family.
In the entire Yin Division, in addition to the incense that is necessary for the life of the ghost animals, it is the most sought-after goods, followed by wine.
Because many yin ghosts are hundreds of years, or even thousands of years old, there are many drunkards like Li Kui, who are addicted to alcohol, and as the wine-making and processing industry in the yang world becomes more and more mature, compared with the original wine, both in purity and taste, it is much more refined, and most of the wine in the yin is purchased from the yang world.
No wonder the wine merchant is the most popular in the yinji!
When he arrived at the inn where he was resting, after a short rest, Ma Tiexin took out a small hourglass from his pocket, glanced at it and said, "It's almost time for Yin Si to have dinner, let's get ready." ”
"How do you know when it's time for Yin Si to have dinner?" Cauliflower asked with a frown.
Because there is no black and white day and night in the yin, it is easy to forget the jet lag here, and there is no so-called concept of time at all.
Ma Tiexin said: "You are stupid, didn't you see the giant hourglass on the side of the city wall when you entered the city?" That is the timetable of the Yin Division, twelve hours of light leakage, and the container of sand below is divided into twelve grids, each grid represents an hour, so there is no difference from the yang world. ”
Speaking of this, he smiled hesitantly: "Don't forget, ghosts also have to eat, otherwise the soul body will be damaged, and sooner or later the soul will be scattered." ”
As he was talking, a man in a strong suit walked in quickly and said a few words in Xiang Yumeng's ear.
Xiang Yumeng clapped his hands and said, "Brothers, there are eyebrows, Jin Taibao lives in the Ruyi Inn Tianzi in the north of the city, and Li Kui has already informed Jin Taibao to participate in tonight's banquet." I think the time is almost up, Li Kui is an anxious man, and he will definitely be impatient after waiting for a long time, let's do what we planned. ”
Then he said to the subordinate: "Ah Gui, your body shape is most similar to Brother Qin, you go to the city with Brother Cauliflower." ”
"Yes, young master." Agui said respectfully.
Cauliflower nodded, winked at me and said, "Brother Qin, seeing my sister-in-law, remember to say hello to me, don't just go too far." ”
I kicked him in the ass and laughed, "Damn, fuck me out." ”
After the cauliflower left, Ma Tiexin and Xiang Yumeng prepared a little, and the two went to the city lord's mansion to go to the banquet.
According to the plan, the two of them went to accompany Li Kui to drink, and by the way, Li Kui called Jin Taibao as well, and the task of Cauliflower and Agui was naturally to attract Jin Taibao's attention.
His mask has not been changed, the Jin Taipo must have known, and Cauliflower and Ah Gui, that is, the so-called me wandering around the city, the Jin Taibao's eyes will focus on the two of them and win me a vacancy.
I didn't rush to the Ruyi Inn to find Chunlan, because the cauliflower may not have completely attracted the attention of the Golden Taibao now.
Half an hour later, I appeared at the door of the Ruyi Inn, the plan was very successful, all the secret whistles at the door were sent by the Golden Taipo to follow Cauliflower, and those elite black horsemen were brought into the City Lord's Mansion by him.
Jin Taibao has always been suspicious and arrogant, he doesn't look down on Li Kui, and Li Kui doesn't want to bird him very much, but after all, this is Li Kui's territory, and he can't help but sell this face, in order to prevent emergencies, so he won't go to the banquet without being fully armed with him.
Entering the inn, there were only a few guards inside, and there were many other rich people, there were many people in Nangou City, and there were many merchants, and the Golden Taibao couldn't cover the sky with one hand.
I looked around a few times, and then slowly walked to the Tianzi room on the third floor.
The thought of seeing Chunlan made me extremely excited.
I wonder how happy and surprised Chunlan would be if she saw that I was still alive.
When I was about to reach the staircase on the third floor, I suddenly felt unconfident and a little panicked, and the consequences of this meeting were nothing more than two results.
One: Chunlan is back to me. Second: Chunlan has indeed changed her mind, if so, the new identity I finally have will be exposed, and the next plan will be completely unavailable.
