Chapter 1241: Entering the city

The long queue stretched from the city gate to the woods in the distance.

Although Xiao Yu has a token, it is of no use because entering here is not as convenient as in the mountains and it is more difficult to escape.

Moreover, the man they killed was also a patrol soldier and knew many ghosts. If he was recognized, he would be exposed immediately.

"Which village is it from?"

As the carriage approached the city gate, it was stopped. A thin ghost holding a weapon began to approach the carriage, as if preparing to conduct an inspection.

"Master Bing, we are from a village thirty miles away. These are our villagers. We hope it will be convenient for us."

An old man who was with the woman in white jumped out of the car and nodded and bowed.

"Thirty miles away, are you from Jie Village?"

The thin man turned around and asked as he spoke.

"Yes, people from Jie Village, don't we want to fight? We are here to hide. Please make it easier."

After the old man finished speaking, he turned over his hand and took out a soul stone and held it against the other party.

Bribery in person was a taboo in the military camp, but the thin man didn't feel nervous at all and just shook his head.

"There are too many ghosts in the city now to allow so many carriages to enter, and the general has clearly stated that they must be checked one by one to prevent anyone from sneaking into the city."

The old man naturally understood what the other party meant when he said this, that is, he thought there were too few soul stones.

They are all ordinary ghosts. Most of the villages are old, weak, sick and disabled, and there are only a dozen young souls. Hunting soul beasts is not easy. Taking out one of them already makes him feel distressed, so he is not willing to take out the second one!

As the man spoke, he raised the curtain on the carriage with his spear.

The first carriage was mostly pulling some cargo, which was completely invisible. The other party took one look at it and put it down, and then walked away like the second carriage.

There were three carriages in a row, either carrying some cargo or carrying some old people and children.

Gradually, the emaciated soldier came to Xiao Yu's carriage, but before he checked it, he suddenly turned his head to the rear.

"Who is that woman?"

The curtain of the carriage door at the rear was opened, and the woman in white stuck her head out from inside, as if observing the surrounding situation.

Seeing the woman in white, the old man who felt sorry for the soul stone at first gritted his teeth.

"Master Bing, these are two soul stones. It would be convenient for you to let us enter the city. It will be difficult to fight immediately. If we delay the time, I can't afford it."

The old man forced the two soul stones into the hands of the ghost soldiers and said with a flattering look on his face.

"What are you doing? After the inspection, hurry up and leave. I didn't see there was such a long queue behind me."

Under the tower, an older man shouted loudly.

Hearing the urging from the other side, the thin man looked towards the woman in white again, but the woman disappeared.

"Old guy, take it out earlier, why bother with this, hurry up and leave."

The thin man waved his hand, and several carriages immediately headed toward the city.

Xiao Yu and the others were sitting in the car, not daring to express their anger, for fear that the ghost soldier just came to check, and if they were discovered by the other party, they would inevitably be hunted down.

"Creak... creak."

The carriage wheels pressed against the wooden planks on the moat, making a creaking sound, but this sound was instantly drowned out by the crowd coming from behind.

The city is trapped, isolated and helpless. There are no other cities around it to support it, and there is a moat more than ten meters wide around it.

Once surrounded, only ghosts above the Ghost King can fly out, while other ghosts are like caged birds, so it is called a trapped city.

Because of the special geographical location of the trapped city, the city was built extremely tall, and the houses inside were all made of black stones, which looked extremely solid.

There is a wide street in the city, about twenty meters wide, which may have been used for marching.

Because once a war breaks out in a place like this, a last-ditch battle is necessary, so troops must be mobilized very quickly. If there is any delay, the besieged city will fall into a situation that will never be restored.

There are a variety of shops on both sides of the street, no big difference from other cities.

In the past, this kind of city would have been relatively empty, because every time you entered the city you would have to pay a relatively high fee, and the ghosts from the surrounding villages would not be willing to come here.

But whenever a war breaks out, this place becomes the only place of refuge, so it looks very lively today.

As soon as the carriage entered the trapped city, it was stopped by two soldiers.

It is said that there are too many ghosts in the city and carriages cannot enter. They have unified management of the place, but they have to pay a certain fee.

Now that we have entered the city, what does this expense mean?

So Xiao Yu and the woman in white walked directly and started looking for a place to stay.

Xiao Yu and others got off the carriage and looked around. They didn't have a map of the trapped city, so they had to explore the terrain clearly before taking action.

"Qinglong, the two masters, each in the southeast and northwest, we will investigate one side and gather at the entrance of this incense and candle shop in two hours.

You should know what exactly we want to investigate, right?"

Xiao Yu called Qinglong and the two monks to his side and whispered to them.

"Of course I know. Isn't it just to explore where the barracks, arsenal, and animal stables are located?"

Qinglong pursed his lips, looking like you looked down on me.

"Yes, in addition to the barracks, arsenal, and animal stables, we also need to inquire about the more important people and where they live. If possible, we will visit them at night."

Xiao Yu and the others stood shoulder to shoulder and whispered for a while, then separated and set off.

"Hey, why are you going? I took you for a ride and didn't even say a word of thanks?"

Seeing Xiao Yu and the others preparing to leave, the woman in white muttered unhappily.

"Beauty, don't miss me, I will come back later."

Qinglong walked a dozen steps, and when he heard the voice of the woman in white, he turned around again and blew her a kiss from a distance.

Instead of that human skin mask, this blowing kiss will definitely capture the hearts of many women.

But now his wretched face, coupled with his extremely unbeatable actions just now, will make anyone feel sick when they see him.

"Just go away and die. If you dare to molest me again, I'll skin you."

The woman in white looked at Qinglong fiercely and waved her fist.

"Beauty, don't be acquainted with him. We have some private matters now and need to deal with them. I have 100,000 ghost coins here. You can find a better inn.

If you are serious, come here and wait for us in three hours. If you have other things to do, this little money will be used as your travel expenses to take us to the trapped city."

Xiao Yu held up his hands to the woman in white and strode forward, regardless of the confused expression on her face.

"One hundred thousand ghost coins, how can he have so much money?

Are they not just patrolling soldiers, but a group of robbing bandits?"

The woman in white clothes said to herself, then looked around, and put one hundred thousand ghost coins directly into her Horcrux.
