Chapter 929: Who's Working Hard, Who's Busy
Early the next morning, Shi'er, the female leader of the Puding Ministry, also heard about last night's incident and ordered someone to call Bimo for questioning.
Bi Mo saw that Tho Mu naturally didn't wear a mask, and saw that his pale face was full of fear. He also had a pair of dark circles under his eyes, his eyes were bloodshot, and he hadn't closed his eyes since last night.
"I heard you saw a hungry ghost last night?" Shi'er asked in a deep voice. She is in her forties, with a straight waist and a sharp appearance, and at first glance she looks like a person who has been in the top position for a long time.
"Yes." Bimo nodded, and told the female leader what he had seen last night.
"I've grown so big, I've opened the ghost door so many times, and I've never seen a hungry ghost." Shi'er frowned after hearing this, "Why did the hungry ghost appear this time?" ”
"Hungry ghosts are inherently visible, but the ghost king has mercy on his people and forbids them to manifest." Bi Mo said in a deep voice.
"Then why did you show up again last night?" Shi'er asked, "How dare they violate the Ghost King's ban?" ”
"No ghost dares to disobey the ghost king." Bi Mo shook his head slowly and said, "As long as the ghost king moves his thoughts, he can detain him in front of him and torture him in a way that humans can't imagine. In the ghost world, there is no concept of time, once punished, it will be punished forever, and no ghost can stand it. ”
"So, what do you mean?" Shier's pupils shrank, and Bi Mo's meaning was not difficult to understand.
"Yes." Bi Mo nodded and hissed, "This must be the will of the Ghost King, and the Ghost King has decided not to shelter us anymore." ”
"Why?!" Shi'er's voice tightened, and he said with fear: "Good manner, why doesn't the ghost king protect us anymore?" ”
"Because ......" Bimo glanced at Shi'er and didn't continue.
"Because...... I? But Shir already understood what he meant.
"Tho Mu shouldn't have done anything to Ai Cui...... Bi Mo nodded slowly: "Our tribes originally belonged to the same Luodian Ghost Kingdom, and the king of the Ghost Country was the reincarnation of the Ghost King. Later, although the ghost king was disgusted with the filth of the world and was no longer reincarnated, and the ghost kingdom of Luodian was also divided, the ghost king Miao descendants were still there, and they were the successive generations of the Shuixi tribe. ”
"......" Shi'er didn't speak, but Shuixi is a descendant of the royal family, and Shuixi Tho Mu still calls himself the ghost king, which everyone knows.
However, in order to maintain their independence, except for Shuidong, there is no longer a clan to recognize that there is a ghost king in this world. Over time, no one in the Puding Department thought that the leader of the western part of the water had anything to do with the ghost king.
I didn't expect it to be ......
"Then," Shi Er, after a long silence, asked with difficulty, "is there any consequence?" ”
"The consequences are severe." Bi Mo said with a serious face: "After I went back, I checked the classics and found several records of the ghost king's anger and condemnation of the world. Each time, the entire village or even the entire tribe suddenly died overnight. Those who survived were all crazy......"
"Huh?" Shi'er broke out in a cold sweat and asked in a trembling voice, "Then how can we escape this catastrophe?" ”
"Let the people run for their lives, the farther away the better." Bi Mo said: "I'll come back after Halloween." ”
"Didn't you say that 'Shallow Dede' can stop hungry ghosts?" How could Shier give an evacuation order as soon as he came up? He asked, "We've all done it five times, and it should be the safest in Fort Puding, right?" ”
"Having said that," Bi Mo didn't have any confidence at all: "But this time the hungry ghosts are too strong, and Shallow Dede may not be able to stop them." No, it can't stop ......."
"How do you know if you don't try?" Shi'er insisted, "Those hungry ghosts aren't necessarily coming at us. If Ai Cui is really a descendant of the Ghost King, how can he be poisoned by a mere Miao Jiang Gu? ”
"That's right." Bi Mo nodded.
After a pause, Shi'er decisively said, "If the hungry ghost really wants to harm people, it is even more unsafe outside. So we all stay in the fort and 'shallow virtue' together at night, maybe we can dispel the hungry ghosts!" ”
"Yes." Bi Mo had no choice but to respond, so he hurriedly went out to prepare, and waited for the evening to lead his clan to drive away the hungry ghosts.

In the middle of the mountains, across the canyon.
After putting on the lights last night, Master Zhu, who had been busy for a day and a night, returned to the cave where he was hiding and fell asleep.
All the problems of making Kong Ming lanterns have been solved, all the processes have been arranged, and all that remains is to keep repeating and repeating, and he doesn't need to worry about it.
This sleep lasted until late afternoon, when Zhu Zhen was woken up by the noise outside the cave.
"What's the situation?" He rubbed his sleepy eyes and asked Hu Xian, who walked in quickly.
"Your Highness, Madame Xiangxiang has arrived with reinforcements." Hu Xian was excited, although His Royal Highness and the Hou Ye were convincing, but they could only rest assured when they saw it with their own eyes.
"She's here herself?" Zhu Zhen was a little surprised. But it's right to think about it, it's a master who can kick and bite, and it's not as delicate as it seems.
"The person has already arrived at the entrance of the cave, and I have come to report to His Highness." Hu Xian said with a smile.
"Let her in." Zhu Zhen didn't care about the road. In this wilderness, it is natural to sleep in clothes, and there is no possibility of going out.
Hu Xian responded and left, and after a while, he led Mrs. Xiangxiang to come in from outside. She has been in the dust all the way, but she is still radiant. As soon as you enter, the whole cave will shine.
She originally asked Longzan Arno to bring people to support, but she was really not at ease, so in the end she personally led the team.
The Shuixi guides in the cave hurriedly got up and saluted, and Zhu Zhen also sat up, and said with a smile while putting on his boots: "There is no place to sit here, so I can only ask Mrs. to stand and talk." ”
Mrs. Xiangxiang saw the blankets spread all over the ground in the strange rocky cave, and knew that they had slept here last night, and His Royal Highness the King of Chu was no exception.
She looked at His Royal Highness the King of Chu, who was dirty and his clothes were wrinkled, and felt a warm current welling up in her heart, and her tears almost didn't come down, so she hurriedly saluted deeply: "How can Your Highness risk yourself for the sake of your concubine's body, and still suffer such a crime?" ”
"Is this a sin?" Zhu Zhen laughed and said: "You haven't seen that when this king is really sinned, I still have to eat, do you believe it?" ”
"Your Highness laughed." Luxe Xiang naturally didn't believe it, thinking that he was deliberately joking for his own relief. "I really don't know how to repay His Highness's great kindness."
"Hahaha, you understand." Zhu Zhen stood up with a smile, stomped his feet, stepped on his boots and said, "Let's not talk about those who have or don't, how many people have you brought here?" ”
"Two thousand Tho Mu troops." Xiang Xiang hurriedly replied: "It's the army directly under the first husband." ”
"Each one is a carefully selected warrior, and one can fight ten." Afraid that His Royal Highness would think that she had brought too few people, he added: "I also asked Liu Naiye to come with a large army to meet as soon as possible." ”
"You don't have to wait for a large army, it's enough to have two thousand elite soldiers." Zhu Zhen waved his hand and said arrogantly: "Tonight, this king will help you conquer Puding Fort!" ”
"Just these two thousand soldiers?" Xiangxiang opened her mouth in surprise.
"That's right," Zhu Zhen nodded and said with a smile: "Didn't you say that they all fight ten with one?" That's 20,000 soldiers. ”
Extravagant fragrance is embarrassing.
