"Zeng Mu is a ghost. This proves that what Ma Feizi said is not false. Therefore, Wu Gui, the governor of Yangcheng, is also a ghost."
"Qin Hao is camping in the northeast with five hundred ghost soldiers. I don't know if there are any reinforcements."
Long Chen leaned on the chair, closed his eyes and thought slowly.
"Yangcheng is two days' journey away. Yangcheng captain Li Guishou is one of ours, so there is no problem."
"Immediately fly a message to Li Guishou and ask him what is going on in Yangcheng! Report back quickly!"
Long Chen did not go to Yangcheng immediately, nor did he say to arrest Wu Gui immediately, but wanted the school captain Li Guishou to confirm the situation.
Because the top priority is to deal with the ghost tribe, as for Wu Gui, the governor of Yangcheng, he can slowly settle the score after repelling the ghost tribe.
The most important thing is that Long Chen cannot leave Yuncheng easily to prevent the tiger from leaving the mountain.
Donna immediately flew like an eagle to pass the message.
Back in the room, Shi Jingxiang had just finished taking a shower and was getting ready to rest.
"How are things?"
Shi Jingxiang did not participate in what happened just now. Her status is inappropriate.
Long Chen explained the matter in detail, and Shi Jingxiang said in surprise: "The governor of Yangcheng is a member of Guitei? Zeng Mu too? Are there so many Guitei people in Xixia?"
Long Chen said: "There are ghost fetuses in the three countries. Eastern Zhou and Nanliang were eliminated once, but Xixia was not."
The Eastern Zhou Dynasty was the base camp, and Long Chen investigated it very thoroughly. During the war in Nanliang, the Guite forces caused trouble and were also eliminated once.
This was not the case with Xixia. When Xixia was destroyed, the ghost fetus did not jump out. Long Chen did not know the existence of the ghost fetus.
Therefore, the evil forces in Xixia have never been cleaned up.
Shi Jingxiang said: "The number and intentions of the ghost clan are uncertain. We can't leave here. Then in Yangcheng, we can only ask Li Guishou to confirm the situation."
Long Chen nodded and said: "Yes, that's the only way."
...
Yangcheng.
In the prefect's mansion.
Guitei had just finished eating several young women and was sitting under the locust tree drinking tea, with Li Chengdao waiting on him.
"How is Wu Gui doing?"
Gui Ti didn't go out in the backyard. Li Chengdao often walked around outside to observe what was going on in Yangcheng, so Gui Ti asked him.
Li Chengdao replied: "We are recruiting, but the speed is slow. We only recruited 30,000 people in two days."
Recruiting 30,000 people in two days is actually very fast.
However, there is still a big gap between the requirements for ghost fetuses.
"30,000, only 30,000..."
The ghost is very unhappy. Tomorrow is the third day and the ghost will take away 100,000 people.
At this rate, no matter how hard we rush, it will be impossible to recruit 100,000 people.
"Slave, are you going to urge me?"
Li Chengdao took the initiative to ask Wu Gui to be urged, but Guitai said: "That's all, the time is too short, it is useless to urge him."
"Is there any news from Yuncheng? Is Long Chen there in Yuncheng?"
Li Chengdao felt a little confused and said: "Holy Son, we are lurking here and cannot contact the outside world."
Guitai glanced at Li Chengdao and said coldly: "Is this what I mean?"
Li Chengdao immediately replied: "I understand, I will do it now."
Of course Guitai knew that they were hiding in the backyard and could not contact the outside world. He asked Li Chengdao to ask Wu Gui and Wu Gui to inquire about the situation in Yuncheng.
After leaving the backyard, Li Chengdao entered Wu Gui's study.
After waiting for a long time, Wu Gui still didn't come back.
After recruiting 30,000 soldiers and horses in two days, Wu Gui was in a hurry and had no time to return to his study.
Li Chengdao couldn't show his face in public, so he had to wait.
When it got dark, Wu Gui walked into the study and was startled when he saw Li Chengdao.
"Why are you here?"
Wu Gui patted his chest, sat down, lifted the teapot and took a sip of tea.
From morning to night, Wu Gui kept his feet on the ground and tried every means to recruit troops.
"The Holy Son asked me to ask about the situation in Yuncheng."
Li Chengdao waited for Wu Gui to finish drinking the water.
Wu Gui put down the teapot and breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling like he was finally alive.
"Yuncheng? Nothing happened. What's wrong?"
Wu Gui has been paying attention to what's going on in Yuncheng, but he hasn't heard anything about what's going on in Yuncheng recently.
Li Chengdao asked: "Is Long Chen in Yuncheng?"
Wu Gui shook his head and said: "I don't know, I haven't heard of it. I have someone in Yuncheng. If Long Chen is in Yuncheng, I should know."
Just as he was talking, someone knocked on the door, and Li Chengdao immediately hid.
"Come in."
Wu Gui responded, and a man bent down and got in.
After closing the door, the man took out a secret letter and presented it to Wu Gui: "Sir, a letter from Yuncheng."
Wu Gui answered and the man immediately left the room.
Opening the secret letter, it read: Long Chen and Shi Jingxiang have arrived in Yuncheng without any troops.
"Sure enough, we arrived in Yuncheng."
Li Chengdao suddenly spoke from behind, making Wu Gui tremble in fright.
Wu Gui is also an ordinary person and did not become a half-ghost. This was to protect his identity.
Of course, Gui Fei gave Wu Gui the skills to practice secretly and improve his cultivation to protect himself.
Wu Gui's cultivation level was far inferior to that of Li Chengdao, so when Li Chengdao suddenly appeared behind him, Wu Gui didn't feel it at all.
"I'm here to report the information I just received to the Holy Son."
Wu Gui took the secret letter and immediately opened the door and walked to the backyard.
When he walked into the backyard, Li Chengdao was already standing next to the ghost tire.
"Reporting to the Holy Son, Long Chen and Shi Jingxiang have arrived in Yuncheng."
Wu Gui cursed Li Chengdao in his heart for grabbing the credit.
Obviously, Li Chengdao has already reported the matter.
Guitai nodded slightly and said: "I understand, tomorrow is the last day, you must recruit again."
"If there are not enough people, then take away the young women and children in the city and accompany them with the army."
Anyway, after taking it back, 30,000 people will eat it as meat and vegetables.
The blood of women and children tastes better, so it’s okay to take women and children back.
Wu Gui knew very well what Gui Fei meant and replied: "I understand, the Holy Son, don't worry."
Long Chen appeared in Yuncheng, and Wu Gui also wanted to leave as soon as possible.
If Long Chen discovers him, Wu Gui dares to make sure that he will die without a burial place.
"Go ahead."
Guite said something, and Wu Gui immediately retreated.
Xiaowei Mansion.
After a busy day, Li Guishou dragged his tired body back to the house and took off his armor. The clothes underneath were soaked with sweat.
The servant poured a large bowl of tea, and Li Guishou finished it in one go.
"Ha, the weather heats up really fast."
After Li Guishou drank the water, he still felt thirsty.
"Sir, a letter from Yuncheng."
His subordinate came over with a reed pipe, and Li Guishou took it.
It is a well-known fact that Xiaowei's Mansion and Donna have always been in separate contact.
The generals throughout Xixia's homeland have a separate communication mechanism in order to control military power.
After opening the reed pipe, Li Guishou read the letter, his face suddenly became solemn, and he immediately got up and entered the study.
Taking out his pen and ink, Li Guishou hurriedly wrote two sentences and ordered: "Send to Yuncheng immediately."
The men took the secret message, tied it to Fei Ying, and immediately sent it to Yuncheng.
After sending the letter away, Li Guishou sat in his study, lost in thought.
Donna's letter was very simple, asking Li Gui if there had been anything unusual in Shouyang City recently.
This simple sentence made Li Guishou feel that something was fishy.
Yangcheng is recruiting troops on a large scale, and as the commander-in-chief, it is impossible for Donna not to know about it.
Donna asked this, which means that the prefect Wu Gui may have faked the order.
But why did Wu Gui do this?
Li Guishou couldn't understand.
"grown ups."
The voice of his general came from outside the door.
