Chapter 27: Bringing Reinforcements Home

finally got to dawn, and without waiting for Zuo Tianming to get up, he dragged Zuo Tianming out of the quilt directly. In Zuo Tianming's complaints, the two came to Liu's mansion. The soldiers guarding the door told them that Lord Liu had not returned from the early dynasty, Xing Hao was in a hurry, and it was impossible to return to the inn, so he was waiting for Lord Liu to come back at the tea stall on the edge of Liu's mansion. At three o'clock in the morning, Lord Liu's sedan chair finally returned, Xing Hao ran to the front of the sedan chair like a gust of wind and lifted the sedan curtain for Lord Liu, if it wasn't for the people of Liu's Mansion who saw him yesterday, they would have to treat him as an assassin.

When they came to the living room, Lord Liu told them that the two of them agreed to send reinforcements as their backing, and specially instructed that after this matter was completed, all the heroes should be recruited into the main hall to reward meritorious deeds. Xing Hao and Zuo Tianming bowed to Xie Tianen and asked, "How many reinforcements has the Lord approved, and when will you leave?"

"Support 5,000 soldiers and horses, because this matter is highly confidential, so I have to go to the Soldiers and Horses Division to select in person, and then set off immediately with Shaoqing of Dali Temple. ”

"Lord Liu, since this is the case, I will take the first step, leaving Zuo Tianming in charge of leading the way, I am really too worried about the matter of Xudu, please understand. ”

Lord Liu understood his mood very well, and originally prepared a fast horse for him, but Xing Hao politely declined: "I may travel day and night on the way back, if I ride a horse, the horse is too tired in case it is not cost-effective to damage the BMW." ”

"Okay, then you be careful all the way, we'll leave as soon as we're ready. ”

Xing Hao thanked Lord Liu for the second time, and rushed back to the city.

Zhen Xiu returned to Syracuse City and did not rush to the Chenghuang Yamen, but first went back to the Lingyun Dart Bureau. When he entered the dart game, he found that it was in tatters, and several of his juniors were still cleaning. Zhen Xiu hurriedly asked what was going on, and Zhen Qing told him what happened.

The night before Zhen Xiu arrived in Syracuse, the fifty-nine dead corpses in the Lingyun Dart Bureau suddenly all of them were defrauded, and the scene was uncontrollable for a while. Zhenqing, Zhenyun, Zhenfeng, Zhenyu and the five ghost generals of the Chenghuang Yamen took a lot of effort to suppress all the fifty-nine dead corpses. In order not to hurt the corpse, everyone did not use fierce tricks, so they all hung up a little color. Zhen Xiu told them a few more words, and then went to the Chenghuang Yamen.

After seeing the city god, he went straight to the topic without the slightest politeness: "The poor monk came this time to ask the city god to send reinforcements, we are mainly afraid that the traitors in the underworld will hinder our actions, if you are here, everything will be famous." ”

After speaking, the face of the city god was quite embarrassed: "This thing is not easy to do, I am a small city god official, and if I mobilize so many troops to go to such a distant place, the prefecture will sentence me to leave my post without permission, and at worst I will be sentenced to the crime of rebellion." After all, this matter is not within my power, if it is a matter in this Snow City, I can make full decisions. ”

Hearing this, Zhen Xiu became anxious: "How can this be called leaving your post without permission, this is obviously for the people of Syracuse, the fifty-nine lives of this Lingyun Dart Bureau died in Syracuse, this is within your ability! ”

The ghost on the side pulled the sleeve of the city god, put his mouth to the city god's ear and whispered: "I think he is right, the advantages of our troops this time outweigh the disadvantages." Lord Chenghuang didn't understand, looked at him, and the ghost cha continued: "You think, since these fifty-nine people died in our Snow City, they should be under our control. Moreover, the soul is not normally registered in the Chenghuang Yamen, so we can investigate this matter thoroughly. After investigating all the way, it was found that there were a large number of people involved, and it was also mixed with officials from the prefecture. As long as this matter is done, it is a great opportunity for promotion, Lord Chenghuang, you really have to think about it, after all, this kind of thing is rare to encounter once in thousands of years. ”

What this ghost said is indeed reasonable, and it is more convincing than Zhen Xiu's statement. I thought about it for a while before making a decision.

"Okay, I'll order troops to go with you on this trip, who made me the city god of this city, no matter what kind of punishment the underworld gives, I have no complaints. "What Lord Chenghuang said is righteous and awe-inspiring, but what he actually thinks in his heart is that he will bring a little less soldiers, no ghost generals, anyway, they have to do things, he is just going to put on a show, and if he can't make trouble, he can get an additional official and enter the knighthood, why not do it. Take 10,000 steps back and say, if the underworld really wants to condemn the crime, he will not send many soldiers, and he will not send ghost generals, so he will not be involved in the safety of Syracuse City, and at most he will be sentenced to leave his post without permission, and he will not be removed from his official position. With the bottom in his heart, naturally there is nothing to be afraid of, and he ordered a thousand ghost soldiers to prepare to set off. It's the same with Zhenxiu, before setting off again, go to the capital city first, and the city god will march behind with the city god soldiers.

At this time, in the bamboo forest village, there was a big chaos, because the underworld was not in good care, ten evil ghosts ran out of Tiewei Mountain, Xiao Lie and others were fighting to eliminate all ten evil ghosts. By the time the underworld noticed the incident and approached them for questioning, the battle was over.

A ghost general asked Xiao Lie proudly: "Little doll, you said that the ten evil ghosts were destroyed by several of you, but what evidence do you have?"

Xiao Lie replied with a nonchalant face: "I knew you had to ask like this, they were all wearing shackles with the words "Tiewei Mountain" printed on them, and the shackles are now here, I will go and bring them to you." When he took the shackles, he complained: "When we knew that they were running down from Tiewei Mountain, we didn't want to care about it, and we had to drive them out, but it's a pity that the atmosphere has come to this, and it won't work if we don't kill them." I know that you have a lot of rules in the underworld, but isn't there no way to do it, so that we can't be punished by the underworld for doing a good deed, right?"

The ghost general took the shackles and took a look, indeed this is the special thing for Tiewei Mountain, put down the things in his hand, and still looked serious: "Little doll, you don't have to talk about those yin and yang weird things, since ancient times, cultivators have helped the underworld to deal with the matter of ghosts and help the heavenly court to subdue demons and catch monsters, and you haven't done anything wrong, why should the underworld punish you." ”

Xiao Lie then said with a smile: "Isn't this the first time we have dealt with such a big thing, it is inevitable that we are not steadfast in our hearts, and I didn't mean anything else when I said just now, just because my heart is too bottomless, you have a lot, don't be like me as a junior." Now that we know it's okay, we're relieved. Relieved. Hey, hey, hey......"

"After Ben will go back, he will definitely give King Qin Guang a tribute, add a yin virtue to you, and cut off part of the punishment after death, which can be regarded as a reward for you. "This ghost general is really resolute, and he left after speaking, and he didn't stay for a moment.

After the ghost general left, Xu Huanxin said coaxingly: "It's really impersonal, he has been with a black face, we can be regarded as a great favor to him, and he can even say a kind word." ”

Xiao Lie said with relief: "Okay, don't complain, he is not a human being, what do you want to do with human feelings, besides, he doesn't know how long he has been dead, and the antique stereotype is understandable." It's a shame that he didn't ask anything else, in case he realized our true purpose, it would be bad. ”

"What's there, wouldn't it be better to let him know, let him deal with the rebellion of the underworld directly in front of King Qin Guang, wouldn't it be easy for us, otherwise we have to guard against them. Xu Huanxi said.

Yin Xuesong, who was on the side, waved his hand and said to Xu Huanxin: "Brother Xiao should mean that I don't know the origin of this ghost general, and I can't tell if he will be one of the rebels, so I can't let him know." If he is a good person, if he is a rebel, the preparations we have made for so long will be in vain. ”

"That's right, or Senior Brother Yin understands things, I'm so tired, I'm going back to rest, so I won't accompany you. With that, he walked back to his room.

Xu Huanxin, who was on the side, shouted to Xiao Lie reluctantly: "Who do you say doesn't know what's going on? Come back and make your words clear." Xiao Lie didn't pay attention to her and walked away. Qiu Feixu pulled Xu Huanxin to her side: "Okay, people don't mean that, you little pepper's character, it's time to change it, otherwise Xing Hao's life in the future will be difficult." After speaking, everyone burst into laughter, which made Xu Huanxin red-faced: "Senior sister, who said that I want to be with the fifth senior brother, I don't have it." ”

"Oh, since you don't like Xing Hao, then I'll tell her junior sisters, say you don't like Xing Hao, and let them chase after you casually. Qiu Feixu made a rare joke with others.

"Senior sister~" Xu Huanxin was shy for a while, covered her face and ran back to the room, leaving a room full of people laughing.

A few days later, the sentinel reported: "Cui Sanshi's team is still fifty miles away from Dazhai, and the team has a total of thirty people fully armed. ”

After waiting for so many days, he finally came to hope, and the old and young heroes in the village were all gearing up, and their momentum was high from top to bottom. Yin Xuesong released the contact butterfly to inform Bai Zhihe, asking him to arrange all the levels and be ready at all times. The people in the stockade were also ambushed along the way, and everyone raised the spirit of one hundred and twenty points, waiting for Cui Sanshi's arrival. Cui Sanshi, on the other hand, was normal, walking on the way home with a blind eye, but he didn't know that the war was about to break out.
