"Do you think what we are saying is an exaggeration?" The sloppy Taoist saw Chen Jiu's expression and asked.

Chen Jiu nodded and said: "Indeed, I heard what a few people said, that Qingzhou City God is indeed guilty and deserves death, but if you do something like this, is there no one else to take care of Qingzhou City God?" ”

"Tube? Who cares? The green-robed scholar chuckled: "The Great Song Dynasty itself is difficult to protect, where will it take care of the City God Temple in Kyushu?" When you entered this Guobei County, how many people did you see besides the few defenders in the city? These people froze to death, starved to death, and fled, and there were not many people left. ”

"Besides, the Netherworld has disappeared, and who is in charge of the City God's Temple? You must know that there is not only one city god temple in the world, but only in Qingzhou. ”

"Between the Kyushu City God Temple, although they do not interfere with each other, if they encounter such a thing, they still have the same hatred, and who will dare to face the anger of the Kyushu City God Temple at that time? Moreover, what the City God Temple pursued was not secular rights, and it did not interfere with the Great Song Dynasty, so they naturally didn't bother to care. ”

Hearing this, Chen Jiu was silent.

No wonder after he entered Guobei County, he never saw a few people in the city, not even as many people as in the inn, not to say that there were many people in the inn, because most of the guests in these inns only settled in Guobei County and left until dawn.

Strictly speaking, there are really not many people in the entire Guobei County.

If there are not many people, there will naturally not be many eyeliner, which is why the sloppy Taoist and the green-robed scholar choose to hide here.

However, it is a pity that the scope of influence of the City God Temple is too large, even if they and their companions hide in such a remote place.

"So what are you going to do now, Brother Dao? Do you still want to save it when you know it might be a trap? Chen Jiu asked.

The sloppy Taoist was silent for a moment, and then said slowly: "Even if it is a trap, we still have to save it, otherwise it was the three of them who disappeared yesterday, and it is us who disappeared today. ”

As soon as the words fell, the green-robed scholar and the demon woman suddenly fell silent.

After half a ring, the green-robed scholar said, "Why do you still want to send you to death when you know that there is a trap?" I don't agree with you. ”

Not everyone has the same determination to die as the sloppy Taoist, and for the green-robed scholar and the demon woman, the two of them will not do it if they know that there is a trap and step on it.

What's more, the two of them are spirits and ghosts, and there is still some estrangement between them and the sloppy Taoists.

Nor can they understand the approach of the sloppy Taoists.

It was not easy to train the human form, but I want to send it to death? That's the last thing they understand.

"Are you two going to ignore the three of them being captured by that madman in Qingzhou?" The sloppy Taoist frowned and said, "We have known each other for many years, although we have never worshipped, but we have been like brothers all these years, but now you say such things, doesn't it make the three of them feel cold?" ”

"What if you were the one who was taken yesterday? Don't you expect us to come and save you? ”

"This..."The green-robed scholar was speechless for a moment.

Human nature is still selfish, let alone demonic, but the words of the sloppy Taoist make it powerless to refute.

Just when a few people were silent.

The old monk, who had never spoken, suddenly spoke: "You are arguing endlessly, why don't you ask this little friend what he thinks of this matter?" ”

Several people's eyes lit up suddenly.

The three of them were arrested, maybe it was a ploy that Chen Jiu could see, maybe Chen Jiu already had a way to deal with it in his heart.

"Xiaoyou can have a way to deal with it, if you can tell me that you are a brother or two, we must be grateful." The sloppy Taoist immediately asked, and the title had changed from a little brother to a little friend.

Chen Jiu glanced at the old monk with some surprise.

I didn't expect this ascetic to give himself an assist at this time.

With his current situation, he is bound to participate in the near sloppy Taoist people, and it just so happens that there is no valid reason, and he didn't expect the old monk to personally send this opportunity to him.

He first glanced at the people present and then bowed his head and said, "There is no method, but there are a few points that Brother Dao can refer to." ”

The sloppy Taoist's eyes lit up and he immediately said, "Little friend, please speak." ”

"Brother Dao said earlier that you have three friends who were arrested by Qingzhou Chenghuang, which is probably true, or take a step back and say, even if this friend of yours is not arrested, he should be trapped in a place where he cannot act, otherwise with your many years of friendship, there will be no way to even tell him."

When the sloppy Taoist heard this, he nodded approvingly.

There is indeed a special contact between them, but now that half a month has passed, the three of them have not replied to him, so it is most likely as Chen Jiu said.

"Little friend, you go on." The sloppy Taoist said.

Chen Jiu nodded and continued: "If Brother Dao, your three friends were indeed captured by the people of Qingzhou City God Temple, then this trip is nothing more than two purposes. ”

"One, through these three people as bait, I will catch all of you, Brother Dao."

"Second, bring the friends of the three Dao brothers back to Qingzhou to discuss meritorious deeds."

"Also, dare to ask how long has it been since Brother Dao received this news?"

The sloppy Taoist thought carefully and replied: "It's been more than ten days. ”

"More than ten days..."Chen Jiu thought for a while, and then continued: "If this incident has happened for more than ten days, then this group of people from Qingzhou Chenghuang may have left the generation of Guobei County and returned to Qingzhou City. ”

"If these people have returned to Qingzhou City, with the freezing weather today, the waterway to Qingzhou City has been blocked, and they have brought three people, then they will inevitably only be able to take the official road."

The sloppy Taoist in front of him has received this news for ten days, which already shows that this incident may have happened for far more than ten days.

Late will change, in the case of a delay in obtaining the whereabouts of the sloppy Taoist and others.

There was no reason why the people of Qingzhou City God would stay in Guobei County for such a long time, so there was a high probability that they were already on their way back to Qingzhou City, but they could naturally expect that the sloppy Daoist and the others would inevitably come to the rescue.

Therefore, there will inevitably be traps along the way.

But this trap must not be set up on some small roads, one is too big, and the other is that Kyushu is big, but there is only one official road.

With the sloppy Taoist people, as long as their brains are not stupid, they will naturally think that if they return to Qingzhou, they will definitely take the right path.

So it's just right.
