Chapter 705: The Black Banner Army Is a Hero, Cao Bandit Is a Bear
"Hey, have you heard? There is a mysterious force on the front line of Youshou Pass. They have black flags and black armor. They come and go without a trace. They defeated the rebels in the ghost domain."
"I've also heard about this. My brother is on the front line. He just came back from being injured two days ago. It is said that he killed hundreds of thousands of rebels in one night."
"A hundred thousand? Why did I hear the secretary of the Palace of Hell say it was two hundred thousand?"
"Don't be so careless. My eldest son is on the front line. He just sent a message two days ago saying it was five hundred thousand."
"Oh, no matter how much it is, we have won a great victory, and the Black Flag Army is the hero."
"Yes, yes, it doesn't matter how much it is, as long as you can win... But what did you call Captain Jack? Isn't he a foreigner?"
"It doesn't matter if he is a foreigner or not, even if he is, it's still better than that indifferent Cao thief, right?"
"You're right, you're right, it's all the fault of that abominable thief Cao. Why did you burn down the good Logistics Department? I can't even dream of burning the two maids here."
"God damn thief Cao, he should be sent to the front line and let the Black Flag Army take good care of him."
"..."
After the news came, everyone in Fengdu was talking about the Black Flag Army.
As the hot topic expanded, the ghost people in Fengdu City actually compared him with Cao Ning.
For a time, the prestigious Black Flag Army and the despised "Cao Thief" became two extremes.
The former is respected by others, while the latter is despised.
Even street vendors will deliberately weave this story into a story in order to attract customers, just to retain customers.
Unknowingly, the Black Flag Army became the object of worship of all the ghost people, while Cao Ning's reputation once again inexplicably spread throughout the streets.
It really feels like being shot while lying down!
At this moment, in the waterside pavilion on the side of the front hall of Pluto Palace, several men wearing silver-gray armor were gathering together to divide something.
The boss of the Nine Ghost Officers, Tuo Muling, spent a long time grabbing a bag of potato chips from the crowd.
"Hey, hey, you little bastards, leave some for me. Are you going to grab this little thing?"
"Brother, you have the nerve to accuse us. You were the one who grabbed it first... Hey, do you want to eat your bag of potato chips? If not, leave it to me."
"Go...whoever said he won't eat, spread his claws for me...everyone is like a starving ghost reincarnated!"
"Hey, brother, you said this Cao thief... No, no, it's Brother Ning! Hehe, this Brother Ning is so righteous, he actually gave us so many good things."
"That's right, in the past, the food we asked Black and White to bring over had to be burned or put in two sticks of incense, but it has already changed its taste in our hands... How come his food is so delicious?"
"Old Liu, you are stupid. You didn't even look at how Brother Ning came here. He came by boat. From what I've seen, there's a good chance that the boat has the magical function of crossing Yin and Yang."
"Across Yin and Yang? It's really possible! When I first saw that big ship, I felt something was wrong. Whose ship can go on the Huangquan River? It's not a paper spiritual ship."
"Well, there is indeed something fishy about this matter, but it also shows that this kid does have extraordinary abilities and cannot offend others."
"What are you guys doing here... Hey, where do you get so much delicious food?"
While a few people were chatting, Lin Xiaoyun, who had just come out to take a breath, noticed that the Nine Ghost Officers had gathered together to share snacks.
So she quietly approached from behind, scaring the nine people into cold sweats.
"It's you, holy lady, you scared me to death. I thought it was the Lord coming up."
Tuo Muling patted his heart and handed over a piece of vacuum-packed crispy bone sausage: "Saint Girl, would you like one?"
"Brother..."
When the second child saw the crispy bone sausage he had just snatched being handed out by Tumu Ling, his eyes widened and his mouth was open but he couldn't say a word.
Tuo Muling glanced at him!
He said in his heart: "I'm just being polite. I'm a saint. Can I snatch something from you? Look at how stingy you are. It's really embarrassing."
"Okay!"
But what he didn't expect was that Lin Xiaoyun actually took it seriously.
Lin Xiaoyun looked at the well-packaged crispy bone sausage in his hand and asked curiously: "Hey, where did this come from? Could it be that you guys... secretly ran away to the underworld, right?"
"No, no, how could we have the courage?"
Tuo Muling hurriedly waved his hand and explained: "It was sent by Cao Ning!"
"Huh??? Big bear???"
The relationship between Lin Xiaoyun and Cao Ning is not a secret in the underworld, so Tuo Muling did not hide it, so he told all the previous things.
After hearing this, Lin Xiaoyun exclaimed excitedly: "Ah... you are saying that the big bear has come to the underworld, bringing with him hundreds of thousands of troops... Then the black flag army on the front line, isn't it..."
"Black Flag Army, what kind of Black Flag Army... Oh, you said Brother Ning's skull and crossbones flag, it's really dark, it's always infiltrating people!"
Tuo Muling and others stay in the Pluto Palace all year round. They will not go out unless there are special circumstances, and they will not easily come into contact with outsiders.
So they don't know about the news that just came back from the front line.
"It turns out it's really him. Let me tell you, other than him, who else has the time to install tires on big ships."
Having said this, Lin Xiaoyun immediately woke up.
No wonder Cao Ning asked her to send a message to Xia Shihan before. It turned out that the purpose of opening the spiritual realm gate was to get the ship out.
"It's really him!"
When the frontline battle report reached her ears, Lin Xiaoyun was not convinced yet. After all, Cao Ning did not have hundreds of thousands of troops around him.
The last time she came back from the spiritual realm, Cao Ning had less than 3,000 people around her. How could it grow to hundreds of thousands in such a short period of time?
But now that she heard what Officer Nine Ghosts said, she did have reason to believe that Cao Ning really did it, and he also brought everyone to the underworld.
The most important thing is that the time before and after can also be matched.
From this point of view, the hundreds of thousands of Black Flag troops on the front line are really the troops brought by Cao Ning from the Spiritual Realm.
"Hmph, this big bear has done a really good job of keeping secrets. He actually recruited more than 100,000 troops, and he even hid it from me..."
"Humph, let's see how I deal with him when he comes back... Oh, no, I have to tell Shihan the good news quickly. She will definitely be very happy."
Thinking of this, Lin Xiaoyun turned around and ran away, but after walking a few steps, she suddenly turned back and grabbed a few more bags of snacks from the Nine Ghost Officer.
"These snacks are too high in sugar. You will gain weight if you eat them. I will share some of them with you."
"Hey...you're welcome, please call me caring little angel!"
"..."
Looking at Lin Xiaoyun's back leaving with an arm full of snacks, the Nine Ghost Officer was stunned and could not recover.
Looking at the few bags of snacks on the stone table, Lao Wu turned to look at Tumu Ling and complained: "Brother, look at the good things you have done, there are only these few bags left, how are we going to divide them among the brothers?
"
"Well, then I'm just being polite to her. Who knows she really doesn't regard herself as an outsider."
Tuo Muling stared straight at the snacks on the table and reached out to grab them: "How else can we divide them? Whoever grabs them gets it."
Tuo Muling grabbed two bags of snacks and ran away. The brothers behind him were all anxious.
"Brother, you don't have martial ethics, yet you actually carry out a sneak attack!"
"Don't run, put down the snacks!"
"..."
In the blink of an eye, there were several beating silver-gray dark spots in front of the Palace of Pluto, like several dazzling shooting stars.
