After the ghost king finished speaking, he walked straight towards Xu Shouzhong. And at the moment, the latter doesn't look flustered. I heard a rush of footsteps behind me, and I immediately said without looking back, "Didn't I tell you to withdraw?

When the footsteps behind him got closer, he realized that there were two masters galloping towards him, one after the other. Both of them are very tall, with a faint murderous aura all over their bodies, and they seem to have good skills.

Seeing that their overseers were okay from a distance, they were all relieved, and then walked to Xu Shouzhong and stood still. One of them replied respectfully: "Back to the governor, the princess has entered the Panhu Forest safely! ”

It seemed that he had just noticed the ghostly figure not far away, hesitated for a while, and continued to ask: "Governor, who is this guy? Even your dart dares to rob it! I think~ Why don't we three work together to kill it first, and then continue on the road?"

Xu Shouzhong's eyes scanned their faces for a long time, looked at the forest, and then looked at the front and back in the distance, which was also a chaotic team. My eyes were rolling, and I didn't know what I was thinking.

Thoughts were racing, and some thoughts had popped into my mind. He immediately waved his hand at the two men and ordered: "No, this guy will be handed over to you first, and the rest of the team will be left alone for the time being." Now, the Governor must rush to the princess's side, or I will not be at ease!

Be careful, this guy is the Ghost King, you two just have to resist for a quarter of an hour. Feeling that the time was almost up, he fled for his life!Three days later, we met in Dragon Scale City!"

When the two masters heard that they were "ghost kings", a look of surprise flashed on their faces. Seeing their expressions of wanting to speak and stopping, Xu Duling also pursed his lips: It was really helpless to make this decision. It is indeed reluctant to let these two people deal with a ghost king. But their princess is more important, if something goes wrong, none of them want to go back alive!

Thinking of this, Xu Shouzhong patted the shoulders of the two masters: "Time is running out, I have to hurry back to the princess's side." Master Wang, Master Xie, I have never doubted the skills of the two of you, and now is the time for us to be loyal to the country.

For the sake of His Majesty and the princess, we should protect her at all costs! Even if we die, we must buy more time for the princess!

Seeing that the ghost king on the opposite side had already walked less than a foot away from them. Both palms had already begun to burst out with a breath that was so powerful that it made people palpitate. The master surnamed Wang gritted his teeth, and immediately took the order decisively: "For the princess, for the sake of His Royal Highness, I will definitely die!

"Hehe, Xu Duling is really a decisive person, and at the critical moment, in order to be loyal, he doesn't even care about his subordinates who follow him! It just so happens that this king will do your thing, and solve them one by one, anyway, you can't escape from my Wuzhi Mountain! Haha......"

In the midst of wild laughter, the ghost king had already stepped forward, raised a palm, and pointed directly at Xu Shouzhong's chest! On the other hand, the latter's body retreated sharply, and he didn't even look at it much, and quickly turned around and went in the direction of Panhu Forest.

I could only hear a series of "bang" explosions behind me, and I didn't have to think about it, it must be those two masters who had already begun to fight with the ghost king.

Xu Duling's brows were tightly locked, and he kept silently thinking in his heart: Good brother, this time the situation is urgent, and I don't have the bottom in my heart, only ...... I'm sorry for you first!" but there was no pause at his feet, and in the blink of an eye, he was flying miles away.

Hearing the movement behind him getting farther and farther away, it seemed that his two subordinates had really temporarily dragged the ghost king. I just breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, but suddenly I caught a glimpse of a cowering figure hidden in the grass not far ahead.

Xu Shouzhong's eyes rolled, and he exerted force under his feet, and rushed straight to the figure hiding in the grass.

At this time, in the grass on the side of the path, there was a person who panicked and drilled in the direction of the Panhu Forest. Judging by his dress, he must have been one of the thieves. Maybe he knew that he couldn't beat these masters, so he escaped from the battle.

As soon as he got out of the waist-deep grass, he suddenly heard a noise behind him, as if something was there, and rushed towards him at a very fast speed! The thief was already a frightened bird, and when he heard the sound, he couldn't help but blow up his scalp, and immediately turned around reflexively. Unexpectedly, it was dark in front of him, and his body involuntarily rose into the air!

Xu Shouzhong passed by the thief, and didn't give him time to think about it, so he just picked it up like a chicken. A heart-rending howl could be heard from under his armpit, and the former frowned, stretched out his other palm, and quickly squeezed his neck—and immediately fell silent......

I didn't stop all the way, and I don't know how long I had been running, but now, I have gone deep into the depths of the Panhu Forest. The branches and leaves smashed over with a burst of heads and faces, and Xu Shouzhong ignored it completely. Only the thief who copied under his armpit, the clothes on his body were innocently hung by the branches, and he looked quite miserable.

There were three masters who took the princess away, and their routes were irregular. This is the experience they have cultivated over a long period of time, so as to prevent the enemy from tracking and chasing them.

But they also had secret contact information, and Xu Shouzhong followed the marks left by his subordinates and searched all the way. After a short while, I vaguely heard some movement ahead.

He drew his god-killing knife and struck it on the trunk of the tree beside him with the back of the knife. After a while, I heard the same rapid and regular tapping sound ahead. Xu Shouzhong exhaled, put away the god-killing knife, and strode in that direction......

At this moment, in a small clearing in the woods, there were several people with a pestle, the same ones mentioned at the beginning. As soon as Xu Duling saw that everyone and the princess were fine, a big stone hanging in his heart was also put down. He threw the person under his armpit to the ground and said casually: "Master Yang, wake him up!"

The person who was called was called "Yang Zhong", and his body was well-proportioned and straight, and he looked full of explosive power. He is Xu Duling's right-hand man, although he is young, he has also followed Xu Shouzhong for many years. He is loyal to His Majesty and to the Governor.

Yang Zhong looked at the half-dead man on the ground, and was a little stunned: "Governor, why did you bring this guy here?"

The former waved his hand: "There is something I want to ask him, you can wake him up quickly." ”

The latter was not ambiguous, and he picked up the kettle and poured it on the head. A few more slaps in the face, and the thief woke up.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw five people who were looking at him condescendingly, and he was immediately frightened that his three souls went to two souls! He got up in a hurry, kowtowed to everyone, and said: "There are a lot of masters! It's not about small things! Everything is arranged by the 'big brother', and I didn't do anything! The small ones are old and young, and I hope that the little ones will let go of the small ones......

Looking at the thief who kowtowed like pounding garlic, everyone was angry and funny. Xu Duling was a little impatient, picked it up, and brought his face closer: "Hmph! I don't even know who the target of the robbery is, and I dare to come out to 'run for a living'? Lao Tzu doesn't talk nonsense with you! I have a few words I want to ask you, if you don't explain the truth, Lao Tzu will immediately let you be in a different place!"

Looking at the corner of Xu Duling's mouth, a hideous scar that was close at hand, the thief swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "Hero is easy to say, as long as you let me go, I promise to tell you everything I know!"

The former threw it back to the ground, stood with his hands in his hands, and asked indifferently: "Tell me, which mountain are you from, and what is the origin of your so-called 'big brother'?"

The thief shrunk his neck pitifully, only to find that he was covered with terrible injuries all over his body. Then he took a breath of cold air, rubbed the sore spot, and muttered: "We were originally ordinary people from all over the world, such as the small ones, who came from Fengjiao Town. At that time, the corpse monsters invaded in a big way, and the small ones abandoned their homes and fled south with their families.

The small ones don't have any skills, they can only farm, but they can bring their families, so they can't be home all over the world. So he wandered here, and just went up the mountain in a daze, and made a little minion.

Our stockade, in the depths of the Panhu Forest, is now in a recession, at the beginning, the chief scoop only took us to block the road and rob. As long as money doesn't hurt people's lives, you can have a full stomach.

But as time went by, under the pressure of officials from all walks of life, our life became more and more difficult. The boss always thinks that being a thief in troubled times will be punished, so he wants to take us to find another way to survive and make a legal living. But in this way, some people at the bottom were unhappy, and some contradictions sprouted at that time.

All the changes happened half a month ago. At that time, there was a person who appeared out of nowhere, named Haiqiu, who is now the 'big boss'. Directly broke into the mountain gate, clamoring to take over our stockade. Our boss is so angry that he will be unceremoniously killed immediately!

But who knows, I don't know what trick that man had, and if he didn't make a move, the chief scoop handle would be in a different place! Then, those who insisted on licking blood from the knife edge to make a living, supported Haiqiu and sat in the position of chief scoop handle. And some who were unwilling to obey were either killed or forced to commit adultery, and finally they all obediently surrendered......

Since then, Haiqiu has led everyone to burn, kill and loot, do all kinds of evil, and in the past half a month, he has really robbed a lot of property. Therefore, the people below also obeyed his words, and looked to him as the horse's head.

Just the day before yesterday, Haiqiu suddenly gathered everyone and said that there was a big deal. Today, a wagon will pass by our territory. We made countless preparations, and everything was in order, but when we arrived at the scene, we found that what we were going to rob was actually a team of masters!"

Speaking of this, this guy put on a look of regret again, and burst into tears: "If I knew this was the case, I really shouldn't have come to this troubled water! Heroes, when the little one saw that the signs were wrong, he quietly slipped away! But I swear, but I didn't do anything! You adults have a lot, so spare the small ones......

After listening to his words, Xu Shouzhong was thoughtful. It seems that this ghost king is really prepared! It's no wonder that they can't recognize it, the ghost king is out of nowhere, if he is bent on covering it up, even the demon master doesn't want to see his flaws.

Everyone else showed a look of sudden realization, only Xu Duling frowned, and his heart was heavy: combined with the timing of the appearance of the ghost king and the special identity of the princess. Even though it was extremely careful along the way, and the team changed again and again, this time, it was still able to find its own team directly.

The scheming Xu Duling didn't have to think about it, and a thought became clearer and clearer in his mind: Could it be that this team is ...... Hidden spies!?

Looking at the princess, she was still always curious about the things around her. His Majesty is willing to use himself regardless of his previous suspicions, and even believes in him unconditionally, and gives his daughter to him for protection. For this kindness, no matter what, he will strangle any possible crisis in the cradle.

"Then let me ask you again, apart from you, have there been any suspicious people or unusual things in your cottage recently?"

Hearing Xu Duling's sudden question, everyone was stunned. The thief thought for a moment, and then replied, "If you want to talk about weirdness, there is only this new big boss 'Haiqiu'." I always felt that he was mysterious, always covering his face, and not seeing what he looked like.

And he doesn't see others all day long, and often goes out to do things, even at night. Ever since he came, sometimes, he could occasionally hear strange movements coming from outside the stockade. ”

As if he had suddenly thought of something, he added: "By the way! Just the day before yesterday, when the big boss suddenly announced that we were going to 'do a big deal,' there was a person beside him! ”

Hearing this, Xu Duling raised his eyebrows and looked at the rest of the people without a trace. seemed to ask casually: "Oh~ Then what does this person look like?"

The thief scratched his head and smiled awkwardly: "This ~ small one didn't see it clearly, this person was wrapped in a wind-sheltering robe and his face was covered." The figure is a little slender, tall, short, fat and thin......" as he spoke, and gestured for a while. The former frowned, kept asking, and finally made sure that there was no more useful news, so he gave up.

Yang Zhong on the side, seeing that the superintendent was so serious, seemed to have thought of something. Immediately he asked uncertainly, "Governor, is it ...... You suspect ...... in our ranks"

Before the words fell, he was interrupted by the latter: "Okay! This matter has not been decided, so let's not mention it for the time being." Now, the three of you are my most trusted subordinates, and no one is going to keep quiet until the truth is revealed!

I heard them say "yes" in unison, and then nodded. Then he took three steps and made two steps, walked to Xiao Nizi, knelt down on one knee and said solemnly: "Your Royal Highness Princess, the next road may be a little difficult, I hope you will stay close to your subordinates! We guarantee with our lives, we will not let you be hurt at all!"

The princess stood with her head bowed, although her body was petite—Xu Shouzhong, who was not as tall as she knelt on one knee. But the innate majesty made everyone dare not look at it directly. She blinked her eyes and pouted a little indifferently: "Okay then, just take this opportunity to come out and breathe, hehe......"

After listening to this, the other four suddenly felt that one head and two were bigger. However, the princess laughed for a while, then smiled, and her tone suddenly became solemn: "I don't know what Governor Xu plans to do at this moment?"

Xu Duling looked back, then got up and turned around, and felt out the Soul Destroying Thorn as he walked, with a cold expression: "This person knows too much, I think it's better to kill the mouth and get rid of the aftermath forever!"

Looking at the murderous face and slowly approaching the figure, the thief was full of guts: "A good man spares his life! The little one doesn't dare to be a robber anymore! Please let me go! The little one has never killed anyone, and there are still young and old ...... at home" Suddenly, he fell to the ground and rolled his eyes~ Before he finished speaking, he fainted very simply......

The princess was a little unbearable, and hurriedly called: "That's it, this guy has provided us with so much useful information." Besides, he is also forced by life, since he has never done anything hurtful to nature, Xu Duling, you can let him go. ”

Xu Shouzhong originally wanted to kill him, but since the princess had already given the order, he didn't dare to resent. Then he put away the Soul Slayer Thorn, took out the dragon rope, and tied the thief to the tree.

While tying it up, he sneered: "Hehe, hey, this guy has a big life, and if he follows that ghost king, he will die sooner or later!"

When everyone heard this, they immediately gasped. In fact, it is not to blame them for making such expressions, in the light of light, they ran ahead, and they didn't know what happened later. Besides, I never imagined that in such a place, there would be such an existence as a "ghost king"!

"That'...... Did you defeat it in the end?" Yang Zhong on the side asked curiously.

Xu Shouzhong shook his head: "I don't dare to delay there any longer, and finally Master Wang and Master Xie came, and I asked them to resist for a while." I don't know what to do now......"

Hearing the Governor say this, everyone fell silent. There was silence for a long time, but in the end, it was the princess who interrupted everyone's thoughts: "Commander Xu, the last time we changed carriages was in Anhua City, right?

Instead, Yang Zhong looked up at the sky and thought for a while: "If you go back to Your Highness, this itinerary has always been taken care of by your subordinates. It's hard to say who left after any of them, but most of them left for less than a day and then returned.

However, there were two people who left for the longest time - one was me, who was shopping for supplies in the city, and the other was Wang Duwei, who led a team of men and horses to investigate the way first, and it would take four days to leave!"

Xu Shouzhong, who was on the side, heard this, and his thoughts flipped over. Of course, he knew what the purpose of Her Royal Highness the Princess's seemingly casual question was. But the "Wang Duwei" that Yang Zhong said in his mouth happened to be the Wang Master who helped resist the ghost king just now!

Thinking of this, he smiled, and then respectfully arched his hand towards the princess and said, "Instead of being suspicious for no reason, it is better to deal with the current situation first." I have seen it when I came down, and the horse convoy in front and behind has been attacked, let's go out and continue to take the official road, I'm afraid there will be an ambush!

Subordinates' meaning: Let's continue to walk deeper into the forest, near the foot of Bodaoling Mountain, there is a path to Dragon Scale City, which is a road dedicated to transporting timber. Let's follow that road, which should be much safer than the current road, what do you think?"

On the contrary, the little girl was faintly excited, so she clapped her hands and said, "Okay, okay! What are we waiting for? Hurry up and get on the road!"
