The torches, which were like starry fireflies, moved after a while, and quickly surrounded the four-wheeled vehicle. In just a few moments, I saw hundreds of hideous-looking human souls with hideous faces, tall, short, fat and thin, armed with all kinds of weapons and various costumes.

Under the light of the fire, you can clearly see that the eyes of these souls looking at Xiao Shizhu burst out with sparks of anger and hatred.

Black and white impermanence was suddenly shocked, they had been handsome and had practiced a lot of gods and ghosts, although their perception was not as good as Yingying, but the distance was so close, they didn't even notice that there were so many ghosts in ambush in front and back, left and right, it was a little incredible.

In fact, it is not to blame the black and white impermanence for negligence, but the bodies of these ghosts surrounding them all hide the qi hiding talismans created by the ancient gods, all of which are provided by the Emperor Xudu, which can effectively hide the soul qi in their bodies.

Therefore, even if Ying Ying is here, she may not be able to perceive the existence of these hundreds of souls.

And if Xiao Shizhu hadn't relied on the blessing of Xuanli and released all the power of Xuanli after unlocking the seal, he would never have sensed the existence of these hundreds of ghosts.

"Bold soul, do you know what kind of ghost car is in ambush?" Seeing that the matter was clear at a glance, Fan Jinhong was angry, his eyebrows were upside down, and he drew his knife and pointed at the ghosts in front of him.

Black and white impermanence was also on full alert, and the lifehook and mourning stick slipped off their sleeves respectively, and then they invariably reached out their right hands and held the blades tightly.

"Of course they know it's my car, but it's me who they're going to ambush. Xiao Shizhu's eyes showed disapproval, and he swept the faces of the ghosts who silently bit his teeth in front of him, and asked unhurriedly: "You are the powerful sons who once oppressed the people, and the boss who bought and sold human souls, am I right?"

When those hundreds of souls heard this, they were all stunned, obviously they didn't expect Xiao Shizhu to be able to accurately guess their true identities so quickly, and then their eyes flashed with a little consternation.

About half a year ago, Xiao Shizhu received a secret report from the Xuanjiao followers, claiming that they had discovered a large number of Xudu Yin envoys disguised themselves in the country and frequently moved around. After receiving the secret report, Xiao Shizhu had an extra heart, and secretly instructed the Xuanjiao disciples to calm down, and only need to secretly follow and stalk these yin envoys without having to do anything.

It didn't take long for the Xuanjiao followers to discover that these drunken envoys had close contacts with the oppressive and virtuous sons of the powerful who had been punished by Xiao Shizhu, as well as the impoverished slave trading bosses who had been abolished after the slave market was abolished.

Subsequently, Xuanjiao secretly investigated and secretly visited the envoys of the Yin Dynasty of the Xudu Kingdom, hoping to ambush the grain route of the Jiuyou Kingdom army when the war between the Jiuyou Kingdom and the Northern Yin Dynasty of the Xudu was commencing.

Xiao Shizhu was very angry when he found out, and wanted to arrest them in advance, but then the fungus man rewarded again, telling him that the children of Haoqiang, who had been tightly controlled, had received a secret order from the Yin envoy of Xudu, and the ambush of the grain road was just the beginning, and the ultimate goal was to ambush Xiao Shizhu, who liked to travel lightly and go out of the city after the war.

After hearing this, Xiao Shizhu calmed down, and soon had a plan in his heart, so after repeated discussions with the ghost mother, he made a plan to let all the ghosts who knew about this matter pretend not to know about it, and then after the war began, the ghost mother presided over the mobilization of the feather people and the people of the head to transport military rations by air.

In order to ensure the security of the military rations case and not to surprise the enemy, during the war, the Nine Shadows Kingdom also deliberately robbed two small batches of military rations.

Xiao Shizhu has always wanted to leave the palace once after he was busy with everything in his hands, waiting for these ghosts who were surrounded by Emperor Xudu to ambush him, so as to catch them all.

But then he was busy and every time he was done, he left this matter behind, and then there were one after another Xiao Si's burial, the earth movement in Yuque City and the injury of the ghost mother, and Xiao Shizhu, who was busy before and after, forgot about this matter completely.

I never thought about going out today, and when I was in a hurry to get going, I met it instead.

"I have taken measures to suppress the powerful and abolish the slave trade, which has cut you off your life and your former prestige. So you who were sullen were found by the envoy of the old ghost of the drunken capital. Xiao Shizhu said this calmly, then sighed lightly, and then shook his head silently and said softly: "Why are you so stupid?"

"You don't give us a way to live, you forced us!" The tall fat man standing opposite him with a cheeky face and thick eyebrows and tiger eyes roared in a trembling voice, and raised the axe in his hand, pointing directly at the center of Xiao Shizhu's eyebrows.

Under the flickering firelight, the cold light on the axe's body shone brightly.

"Did the envoys of the Yin Dynasty let you deal with me to give you a way to live? I know that I am the son of God, and they let you come to die. Xiao Shizhu, whose eyes suddenly became cold, looked at this group of human souls who were eager to chew his flesh and bones without fear, and said slowly: "I'll give you another chance, and now that it's gone, I will never chase ...... again."

Before he could say the word "research", the tall fat human soul who was talking to him had already roared and swung his axe forward.

Xiao Shizhu sighed softly with regret on his face, and then the murderous aura on his face suddenly rose, his hands suddenly clenched into fists, and at the same time, he stepped forward with a plan, and a punch hit the opponent's door in an instant, and instantly beat the tall and fat soul to deform his facial features, and a slight bone cracking sound suddenly sounded in his head, and then he vomited blood and flew out upside down.

When the ghosts saw that they were knocked down by a punch, they all felt palpitations and fell into depression. The tall fat man's soul flew a few feet backwards and then fell to the ground with a bang, and after a convulsion in the dust, he died with a whimper.

Don't look at the hideous faces of these people, they are all fierce, but they are all fakes, they are nothing more than the abandoned sons of the Emperor Xudu who created chaos for the Nine Shadows Kingdom. If they really make a move, how can they be the opponents of Xiao Shizhu, who looks weak and can't help the wind, but is actually full of mystical power?

In an uproar, Xiao Shizhu raised his right hand and looked at his right fist, and after laughing, he looked around at the human souls surrounding them, and asked loudly, "Who else?"

As soon as these words came out, the souls of those who surrounded them couldn't help but be stunned, and under his angry gaze, they trembled and took a step or two back, and after a short weighing, they all threw down their weapons and fled towards the desert without looking back.

Xiao Shizhu hesitated for a moment, and finally under the drive of kindness in his heart, he raised his hand to stop the black and white impermanence who was about to catch up, and said indifferently: "Let them go." ”。

"Young master, there can't be too much mercy in the struggle for hegemony. Black and white impermanence shouted a little reluctantly, but he still put away the blade in his hand after receiving the order.

Xiao Shizhu nodded silently, smiling without saying a word. A few gentlemen who have no money and power can't get into his eyes, and if he really faces the Emperor Xudu, he will be ruthless.

After a while, the official road was once again immersed in the silence of the night.

"Inform Xuanjiao that you can arrest all the drunken envoys lurking in the country. Xiao Shizhu walked to the side of the carriage, opened the curtain and said to Shen Ji: "Tell the Yuque Forbidden Army again, come here as soon as possible to collect the weapons they have dropped, and hand them over to the ordnance supervisor to return to the furnace." ”......

Muli County, in the central part of Nanban, is a large county with 17 cities and 68 counties.

Since ancient times, the terrain is the difference in height, there are many longitudinal valleys and deep mountains, and the Muli County has always been the last gateway to the north of Luofu County, the capital of the Southern Barbarian Kingdom, and it is only named because there are many pear trees in the county. On the slopes of the ancient roads, on the sides of the rivers and fields, you can see the leafy pears everywhere.

Therefore, the ghosts living in the local area not only live by mining, but also make a living by reselling fruits, and the main business is this pear. The wine brewed in the ancient method is even more fragrant and elegant, which can be called a major specialty of the Southern Barbarian Kingdom.

At the junction of Wuzhi County and Muli County, there is a huge pass built by the mountains and rivers, called Muli Pass; condescendingly looking down on the northern slope of the mountain, there is a basin with a long river running through it for more than 50 miles.

Known as the threshold of Muli County, Muli Pass is built along the mountain and has a circumference of more than ten miles. The thick and solid ring city wall, from the middle of the mountain to the top of the mountain, encircles the barracks, school yards, granaries and wells and other war preparation facilities. There is a solid enemy tower on the wall, a six-foot-long Mojia transfer machine and countless vehicles capable of projecting charcoal fires, and there are trenches dug around the outside of the wall.

The city wall has two gates in the north and south, the north gate is open on the top of the mountain, it is the general brick coupon city gate, there are three layers of arrow towers and four rings around the gatehouse. The south gate opens on the steep hillside to the north, and a number of towering arrow towers are built on top of it, all of which are made of bluestone.

Among the many rocks outside the gate, there is a small road that can only accommodate a cart of companions, extending from the foot of the mountain to the front of the north gate, and then passing through the pass to the south gate, extending towards a farther place.

On the east and west sides of the pass, there are many towering and upright dock forts and forts, which are meandering by the mountains, all of which are built in the dangerous sections of the mountains, and stand on the edge of the cliffs, hidden between the hundred-year-old pear trees on the mountains. In the middle of the pass, a complete set of defenses was formed, and it was between the peaks.

In terms of the ability to dig ditches and build cities and passes, Du Ziren can be said to be a leader in the underworld. Whether it is the Baili Defense Line in Bashi County and Wuzhi County, or the Devil Cry Pass north of Yashu City, or this Muli Pass, they are all drawings made by him one by one.

For a world like the underworld, which still uses cold weapons to fight, these passes can be opened by one man.

In the brilliant starry sky of Muli Pass, there is a breeze through the surrounding woods and grasses outside the pass, and the sound of insects is floating one after another, adding a bit of comfort to this quiet mountain.

The sleepiness of the second half of the night hit, and a southern barbarian standing on the north gate of Muli Pass yawned long. Standing guard for nearly two hours made him physically and mentally exhausted, but he didn't dare to be careless, so he hurriedly rubbed his eyes and stared ahead.

In the past few days, the Southern Barbarian Kingdom has not been very peaceful, and after the war together, the Southern Barbarian Army has lost more than won less. Not long ago, a large number of routs fled here, claiming that Bashi County had been lost, and most of Wuzhi County had fallen, which caused the soldiers of the Southern Barbarian Army in Muli Pass to be nervous.

The three hundred-mile defense lines have become powder, hundreds of thousands of troops have been defeated, how long can Muli Pass stop the advancing Jiuyou National Army?

This has become the problem that the Southern Barbarians stationed in Muli Pass have been most worried about recently.

The sleepy sergeant yawned again, and as the yawn hit the ground, he suddenly saw in the distance ahead, north of the basin shrouded in night, a dense burst of fire out of thin air.

The flickering light of the fire was like stars falling to the ground, swaying with the wind towards the middle of the basin.

The southern barbarian army panicked when they saw that the light of the fire was like a torch, and they could faintly hear the rumbling sound coming from the flickering of the firelight, and so many torches and rumbling sounds could only indicate that there was a large army in the basin moving forward.

"General. He roared without hesitation, his fingers snaking forward in the basin, a little fire like a star, and said urgently: "There is an army approaching." ”。

As soon as the words landed, I saw that in the northwest of the basin, there were many bits of firelight from the mountains and forests at the edge, constantly rushing out, divided into two columns, like two fire dragons lying on the ground, advancing in the southeast direction, and there was a great tendency to converge with the army coming from the north.

A demon with the body of a horse but wings, a human soul face, and a snake's tail strode up to the sergeant, and immediately gasped as he looked at his finger.

Just as he was stunned, three more armies rushed out from the northeast of the basin, each holding weapons and torches in their hands, towards the middle of the basin.
