"You're such a slut, what a bastard." Li Kui drank wine and cursed, looking very unhappy.
Caihua turned her head and looked at me. Both of them were overjoyed. They knew that Jin Taibao looked down on a rough guy like Li Kui because of his arrogance. He didn't expect that this was the case.
"This is really a rare opportunity. At least Li Kui won't go after Jin Taibao." I leaned close to Caihua's ear and laughed softly.
When the jar of wine was almost dry, the fleet had already arrived next to Nangou City. Li Kui got off the ship and went to greet the soldiers to make arrangements.
I took the opportunity to look at Nangou City. The walls of Nangou City are solid, with the Netherworld River rungs in front, and a hundred-meter-long large suspension bridge in the middle. Under the large suspension bridge, there is the unique bone-tempering Netherworld Fire of the underworld, which will last forever, no matter it is
Once a human being is a ghost and falls into the sea of fire, he will be instantly destroyed.
The Nether Fire is black and burns with a roar. Walking on the suspension bridge, you can still feel the monstrous heat wave.
"In wartime, as long as this suspension bridge is raised, even the Great Luo Immortal will never be able to cross this hundred-meter-wide sea of fire. This fire is so powerful that it can burn any kind of metal, iron armor, and there is the Netherworld River and this sea of fire and water.
With a fire protecting the city, it would be extremely difficult to break into the underworld in the mortal world." Ma Tiexin explained as he walked.
"This is really a troublesome thing. In this case, unless the Lord of Nangou City takes the initiative to release the bridge and surrender to the enemy, there is really no way to break it." I nodded.
"It seems that your Majesty does have some foresight. He chose Li Kui, who doesn't like wealth or sex, to guard here. I'm afraid it's also to prevent the city lord from being bribed and being bribed to surrender to the enemy." Caihua said.
"Yes, with Li Kui's character, it would be difficult for him to surrender or betray his master." I sighed slightly.
Admittedly, I have a good impression of Black Tornado Li Kui's frankness and forthrightness. This man is forthright and very suitable for me and Caihua. But if we really have to meet on the battlefield one day, this reckless man will definitely fight to the death. It is very sad to think about it.
things.
When we are approaching the base of Nangou City Wall, well-trained Yin soldiers are searching the merchants and shepherds coming and going, as well as inspecting the ghosts. Because it is wartime, you are not allowed to bring any weapons or firearms into Nangou City. These are prohibited.
material.
Fortunately, Xiang Yumeng was there and Li Kui said hello again. Instead of being interrogated when we entered the city, our group was treated with great courtesy.
Entering the city, the first thing you see is a huge square. In the center of the square, a stone sculpture of a god general stands majestically. The stone carving power is strong, and the god general is carved lifelike. He is holding a treasure carved bow, looking like his eyes are splitting in anger, his crotch is
The yellow horse crows and howls angrily, and a heroic spirit rushes towards his face, so majestic.
Ma Tiexin and Xiang Yutian respectfully walked to the stone statue and bowed three times, while Caihua folded her hands in awe.
"Brother Qin, do you know the origin of this stone statue?" Caihua asked coldly. I shook my head and said, "I don't know! But judging from his appearance and weapons, he should be an old hero who is good at using the longbow."
Thinking of this, I said in awe, "Could it be Huang Hansheng, Old General Huang, one of the Five Tiger Generals?"
Ma Tiexin interjected: "Yes, it is General Han Sheng. In the past, the evil general Xiahou Dun of the King of Wei personally led 50,000 Yin soldiers to attack Nangou City. General Han Sheng, on the order of Prime Minister Zhuge Liang, and the other four gods will
He rushed from the Chengdu Temple to the Yinsi to help King Guang of Qin defend the enemy. General Sheng of the Han Dynasty was leading troops to resist the enemy in this city. He fought fiercely with Xiahou Dun for several days. The old general killed countless enemies.
It was the first shot to counter the rebellion. Later, after the old general died in the war, in order to commemorate him and highlight the achievements of General Han Sheng, King Qin Guang ordered this statue to be specially built for worship."
"He is really a loyal and courageous veteran general who can defeat the enemy at every step." I stood in awe and bowed hurriedly.
After passing through the main square and walking about a hundred meters in, you will find the main city of Nangou City.
Although Nangou City is not comparable to the other eight cities, it is also one of the Nine Cities. It is far more prosperous than Piaomiao City. Lanterns are hung everywhere in the city, and various shops and restaurants are bustling with people. If it were not for the city gate
With the soldiers conducting strict inspections, it would be difficult for the city to feel the atmosphere of an imminent war.
"You can actually light fires and hang lanterns. It seems that Nangoucheng is quite avant-garde." I pointed at the lanterns in the distance and smiled.
"There is no way. There are many mortal merchants in Nangou City. This is a city where humans and ghosts are mixed. We can't let these big merchants live in a daze. Old Qin, if you like, there are even brothels here.
, do you want to try it?" Ma Tiexin showed two rows of big white teeth and said with a smile.
I smiled and ignored him.
In fact, this is also related to the geographical location of Nangou City. There is the Desert of Death, Guifang City, and Guifang Grassland behind it. It is impossible for the Tianshi Mansion soldiers to attack here at the moment. There is also the Netherworld River and the suspension bridge in front, and there are also...
There are fierce generals like Black Tornado Li Kui, so people here don't have to worry about war at all.
On the contrary, because all the materials and strong men captured from the Yang Realm have to be deployed in Nangou City to the other four southern cities, this not-so-big city is extremely lively with a mixture of underworld and merchants.
"Nangou City has only two gates, the north and the south. The south gate is the gate we enter, and it is also the only way to attack the city from the mortal world. Going south from the north gate is Heishui City, Animal City, and Nanwangdu Waste Death City. To the north
The road ahead is the desert of death, Guifang City. If we can defeat this person and jointly attack Guifang City with the Tianshi Mansion, the Tianshi Mansion will be able to break through the current predicament of being passively beaten and lacking supplies." Caihua explained in a low voice.
road.
"Well, the location of this city is too important. We two brothers will have to think carefully about it later." I nodded.
Just as he was saying, "Master Xiang, the city lord has prepared wine and food in the city palace. Please come with me when you come to the room." A general led a group of people over and bowed his hands respectfully.
"General, please lead the way." Xiang Yumeng smiled and raised his hand and said. This was not the first time he had dealt with Li Kui. He was also very familiar with Nangou City. It was just a courtesy from the family.
In the entire underworld, apart from the incense that ghosts and beasts need for their daily lives, the most sought-after goods are wine.
Because many ghosts are hundreds or even thousands of years old, there are many drunkards like Li Kui who are addicted to alcohol. As the brewing and processing industry in the Yang world becomes more and more mature, compared to the original wine,
Both the purity and the taste need to be refined a lot. Most of the wine in Yinsi is purchased from Yangjian.
No wonder wine merchants are the most popular in the underworld!
When they arrived at the inn where they were resting, after taking a short rest, Ma Tiexin took out a small hourglass from his pocket, took a look at it and said, "It's almost time for dinner in the underworld, let's get ready."
"How do you know it's time for dinner in Yinsi?" Naihua asked with a frown.
Because there is no black and white day and night in the underworld, it is easy for people to forget the time difference here, and there is no so-called concept of time at all.
Ma Tiexin said: "Are you stupid? Didn't you see the giant hourglass on the side of the city wall when we entered the city? That is the schedule of the Yinsi. The light leaks out at twelve hours, and the container of sand below is divided into
There are twelve grids, each grid represents an hour, so it is no different from the earthly world."
Speaking of this, he smiled and said: "Don't forget, ghosts also need to eat, otherwise the soul will disappear sooner or later."
Just as he was talking, he walked in quickly pretending to be a man and whispered a few words quickly into Xiang Yumeng's ear.
Xiang Yumeng clapped his hands and said: "Brothers, we have an idea. Jin Taibao is staying at Tianzi No. Ruyi Inn in the north of the city, and Li Kui has informed Jin Taibao to attend tonight's banquet. I think it's almost time. Li Kui's guy
If you are an impatient person, you will definitely get impatient if you wait too long, so let’s act as planned.”
Then he said to the subordinate: "Agui, your body shape is most similar to Brother Qin. You go to the city with Brother Caihua."
"Yes, young master." Agui said respectfully.
Caihua nodded, winked at me and said, "Brother Qin, I've met my sister-in-law. Remember to say hello to me and don't overdo it."
I kicked him on the butt, laughed and cursed: "Damn it, get out of here."
After Caihua left, Ma Tiexin and Xiang Yumeng made some preparations and went to the city lord's mansion for a banquet.
According to the plan, the two of them went to drink with Li Kui, and asked Li Kui to call Jin Taibao too. The task of Caihua and Agui was naturally to attract Jin Taibao's attention.
His mask has not been changed, Jin Taibao must know that, and Caihua and Agui, the so-called me wandering around the city, Jin Taibao's spy will focus on the two of them, winning an opening for me.
.
I was not in a hurry to go to Ruyi Inn to look for Chunlan, because the cauliflower might not have fully attracted Jin Taibao's attention.
Half an hour later, I appeared at the door of Ruyi Inn. The plan was successful. All the secret sentries at the door were sent by Jin Taibao to track Caihua, and the elite black cavalry were taken into the city lord's palace by him.
Jin Taibao has always been suspicious and arrogant. He doesn't like Li Kui, and Li Kui doesn't want to take advantage of him. But after all, this is Li Kui's territory, and he has to give up this reputation. In order to prevent emergencies, he doesn't carry him with him.
He will not go to the banquet if he is fully armed.
Entering the inn, there are only a few guards inside, and there are many other wealthy people. There are many people in Nangou City, and there are also many merchants. Jin Taibao cannot cover the sky with just one hand.
I looked around for a few times and then slowly walked towards the Tianzi room on the third floor.
When I thought about meeting Chunlan, I became extremely excited.
I was thinking how happy and surprised Chunlan would be if she saw that I was still alive.
When I was about to reach the stairs on the third floor, I suddenly felt unconfident and a little anxious. The consequences of this meeting could only have two outcomes.
One: Chunlan comes back to me. Two: Chunlan has indeed changed her mind. If so, the new identity I finally have will be exposed again, and the next plan will be completely impossible to carry out.
