At this time, I saw another white and chubby official stand up, bow down and say:

"Lord Ghost King, most of the things in the Demon Shadow Swamp are some ethereal and traceless ancient legends. If anyone else can really know the situation inside, then in addition to the Imperial Law Secret Sect, I am afraid that there are only the wild people living near the Demon Shadow Swamp, and the city lord of Kunyou City in the north. ”

After a pause, the officer then bowed again and said:

"If the Ghost King wants to eat us all, then this is our fate, and we can't stop it. If the Ghost King is willing to let us go, then the people of our city are willing to worship the Ghost King all year round and serve satisfactory food to the Ghost King at any time!"

"Ghost King?" Jiang Yuan smiled, and he asked, "Who are you?"

The white and chubby official hurriedly replied:

"I am the deputy of the city lord, the civil affairs officer of Jiangluo City, Yang Mu, and I am ready to be sent by the Ghost King. I don't know what the Ghost King is going to do with us?"

Jiang Yuan grinned:

"I will be your new city lord!"

Now Jiang Yuan's idea of fighting the Demon Shadow Swamp is not going to venture until he has gathered enough information.

Therefore, this frontier city will become a place for Jiang Yuan to stay temporarily and learn about the Demon Shadow Swamp and this country.

When the white and chubby official who called himself Yang Mu heard this, his face was depressed and happy.

He understood that the ghost king in front of him wanted notice, not slaughter. In this way, you and everyone else will have a chance to save your life.

At that moment, Yang Mu hurriedly admonished:

"Ghost King...... No, it's the lord of the city, please allow the little ones to put out the fire in the granary, otherwise if the granary is burned down, the people in the city will face famine!"

Jiang Yuan waved his hand:

"Go ahead. ”

Yang Muru received amnesty, and immediately gave orders to the other officials around him.

Jiang Yuan turned around and commanded a group of demons:

"Seal off the whole city, not a single person is allowed to enter or leave! Not even a pigeon is allowed to fly out of the city!"

The five demon ghosts immediately led a group of zombies to leave quickly, and began to blockade Jiangluo City according to Jiang Yuan's orders.

The rest of the living people in the city began to fight fires in various parts of the city under the organization of officials, leaving only a group of high-ranking civil and military officials.

A group of officials and Jiang Yuan gathered in a slightly larger room near the street, and through constant conversation and inquiry, Jiang Yuan also began to gradually understand where he was.

This is a land far away from the Central Plains, close to the far west.

For the land of the extreme west, Jiang Yuan had also learned a little about it when he was in Xue Guo before.

There is only a middle ground in the world suitable for human existence.

In the far north, it is cold all year round, covered with ice and snow.

The land of the far east, the vast ocean, boundless.

In the far south, there are endless mountains, full of miasma and poisonous insects.

In the far west, deserts are everywhere, and the heat is unbearable.

In the middle of this world, the place where human beings live is in the period of the Holy Dynasty.

It has been thousands of years since the first Son of Heaven divided the countries and demarcated the general territory.

And in this extreme land near the extreme extension of the Terran power, on the edge of the Far West, there are several small countries, and the closest to the west are the Yang Kingdom and the Jiang Kingdom.

"It's so far away from Xue Kingdom...... If you want to go back, it's hard......"

After learning about geography, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but sigh.

The Kingdom of Xue is located between the Far South and the Central Plains, and there are two countries to the south, and it is only after that that it really enters the Far South.

However, this place is already located on the edge of the extreme west, thousands of miles away from the Xue Kingdom.

Even if Jiang Yuan flies, he has to cross thousands of mountains and rivers and pass through the land of nearly several countries the size of Xue Guo before he can return.

The land area of Jiang and Yang is very small, and it is slightly larger than the Wushu County where Xue Guojiang was located at the beginning.

Among them, the Yang State was powerful and had been trying to annex the Jiang State, which led to the war between the two countries for many years.

If Jiang Guo is close to the extreme west, then the two border towns, Jiangluo City and Kunyou City, have become the boundary monuments of the extreme west and the living area of the human race.

If you continue westward, you will enter the extreme west, where it is difficult for humans to survive.

And all the way to the east, you will enter the hinterland of Jiang Kingdom.

Legend has it that the cities of Jiangluo and Kunyou were built as outposts and the first barrier against unknown enemies in the Shadow Swamp.

The two cities face the Shadow Swamp, and are surrounded by the Yong'an Mountain Range, a second barrier, on the northeast and south, and only one mountain road leads to the third barrier, Fawei City.

But this is just a legend, after all, no one has ever seen anything come out of the Shadow Swamp.

For hundreds of years, the people of the two cities here have never even encountered demons and ghosts.

It was only with the rumors of the demons brought by the merchants from the hinterland of Jiang that people learned about the terrifying natural enemies of the living.

For demons and ghosts, the people in the two cities only regard it as an after-dinner chatter.

It was only tonight that Jiang Yuan brought them a true fear of demons.

What surprised Jiang Yuan was that there was another point.

Whether it is Jiang or Yang, there does not seem to be the existence of a family family.

The commoners and slaves here are ordinary people, the officials are also ordinary people, and even the royal family and nobles are ordinary people.

Only the Imperial Law Secret Sect, which has always seen the head and the end of the dragon, has become a protective god who protects mortals from the invasion of demons and ghosts.

This is very different from what Jiang Yuan saw and heard in the past.

Whether it was the Xue State where Jiang Yuan was originally located, or the neighboring Chu State and Chen State, the princely family formed the real upper echelon of a country and directly ruled all the people.

If the Imperial Law Secret Sect here is also a family of princes, on the contrary, they are neutral and condescending, appearing to be beyond the mortal world, and rarely come into contact with the mortal world.

Jiang Yuan thought for a while and said:

"I need to contact the wild people and the city lord of Kunyou City, and you can arrange it immediately. By the way, tell me how much time I can do it. ”

According to everyone, apart from the Imperial Law Secret Sect, there are only these two people in the vicinity who know about the Demon Shadow Swamp.

Yang Mu replied:

"City Lord, the words of the wild people will be sent to find them when Tianming's subordinates wait. There are some wild people in the city who sell their goods, but it is not difficult to find them. It is estimated that there will be results at noon tomorrow. As for Kunyou City, although it is only a day's journey away from our Jiangluo City, the city lord of Kunyou City is probably ......."

"What?" Jiang Yuan asked.

When Kunyou City was mentioned, all the officials of Jiangluo City were angry.

I only listened to Yang Mu explain:

"Three days ago, when our Jiangluo City was surrounded by the Yang army, we lit a beacon fire, and at the same time sent people to Kunyou City to ask for help. But Nie Chuan, the city lord of Nakun Right City, was greedy for life and afraid of death, and he could only hear his wife's words in his ears. Na Nie Chuan blocked Kunyou City, and refused to send reinforcements under the pretext of being surrounded by the enemy, which led to the destruction of the city of Xinjiang. He even turned a deaf ear to the request of the original city lord, and I am afraid that he will ...... your request from the city lord."

Jiang Yuan calculated the time and said with a smile:

"I don't believe Nie Chuan has that much courage. First, send someone to persuade him to surrender, and order him to prepare all the information about the Demon Swamp. When I'm done meeting the wild people tomorrow, I'll go there myself. If he really doesn't obey, I'm afraid he won't want to die!"

Yang Mu's eyes rolled when he heard this, and he hurriedly said:

"The subordinates are willing to serve the city lord and personally go to Kunyou City to persuade him to surrender!"

Now that the city is occupied by a kind of demons, no one knows how these demons will treat the living.

If you can escape this place under the pretext of persuasion, you can avoid the dangers of uncertainty.

So this is also the reason why Yang Mu is in a hurry to recommend himself.

Where did the officials not understand what Yang Mu meant, and they also expressed their willingness to go at the moment.

Jiang Yuan stared at Yang Mu and said:

"Then you go! I will help you take care of your family, if the persuasion is not successful, I will kill your whole family!"

"This ......" Yang Mu was stunned for a moment, and then his face was full of bitterness, "The attribute understands......"

A group of officials who were originally vying to persuade them to surrender were silent at this time, and their eyes were full of schadenfreude when they looked at Yang Mu.

As for other things in the city, Jiang Yuan was not interested.

He ordered someone to arrange for a mansion to move into, and other matters were still discussed by the civil affairs officials, magistrates, tax collectors and other powerful people in the city.

The giant dog steamed bun found Jiang Yuan by himself, followed Jiang Yuan into the mansion, and stayed by the sleeping Lin Yulin every step of the way.

This dog steamed bun is extremely wary of outsiders, its strength is basically comparable to the demons of the lowest realm, and ordinary people have nothing to do with it.

In this city where there are only mortals, with it guarding Lin Yulin, there is no need to worry about any accidents.

Due to the time difference, Jiang Yuan couldn't sleep for a while, and called Aunt Hong and other demons over and made a lot of arrangements.

After a night of predation, the strength of these demons skyrocketed.

Aunt Hong already had faint signs of entering the vicious realm, and the other four demons and ghosts had already reached the chaotic realm.

Even those hundreds of zombies have been harvested, and they have basically stabilized in the realm.

These demons can't see the sun, in order to continue to work for Jiang Yuan during the day, Jiang Yuan imitated the way Princess Youyue avoided the sun at the beginning, and found a lot of wide black robes for them to cover their whole bodies, so that they could move in the daytime.

For these demons, it is very dangerous to rely only on their robes to hide from the sun.

They only need to be cut through their clothes by a warrior with sword qi from a distance, or ordinary people burn their clothes with fire, and then they will be scattered in the sun.

However, Jiang Yuan still insisted on doing so, firstly, he didn't care about the life and death of these demons, and secondly, after the war and zombie army in this city, the living people had already been frightened, and there were almost no people who dared to attack demons.

In response to the demands of these demons, Jiang Yuan still ordered them to continue to blockade the city.

Since there were some Imperial Law Secret Sects in this place, Jiang Yuan didn't want them to know their own reality either.

At present, Jiang Yuan only has the Demon Shadow Swamp in his eyes, and he is unwilling to devote too much energy to face too many enemies.

As the demons left as instructed, the sky gradually brightened.

Jiang Yuan walked out of the room and began to walk around this strange city.

It was dark and chaotic last night, and he didn't pay much attention to this place.

At this time, with the arrival of early morning, Jiang Yuan saw the different scenery and folk customs of this city and the city of Xue Kingdom.
