The black-bearded old man was not a fool. He knew that there was no room for recovery at this point, so when he felt Xiao Yu approaching, he turned around and slapped him away.
Xiao Yu did not dodge, but also stretched out his hand to grab the opponent.
The cultivation realms of the black-bearded old man and Xiao Yu were too different, so his attacks did not pose the slightest threat to Xiao Yu.
Only a few slender fingers were seen penetrating the black ghost mist and directly grabbing the black-bearded old man's clothes.
"You can't escape in front of me. If you obey me, maybe I can spare your life."
The black-bearded old man was caught by Xiao Yu, and like a chicken, he instantly lost all combat capabilities.
"Tell me, what is this broken piece of wood..."
Xiao Yu pointed at the wood on the ground and snorted with some displeasure, which frightened the old man with black beard and jumped up.
"This is a tree without roots. It can grow anything wherever it falls!
Moreover, you can grow your own medicinal seeds on this kind of wood, which can mature quickly, making it a rare wood treasure."
The black-bearded old man quickly explained the functions of the piece of wood to Xiao Yu.
Two hours later, Xiao Yu, the village chief of Jie Village and the female ghost in white walked out of the pharmacy.
But in the trapped city, there is no longer the ghost of the ghost medicine master.
The head of Jie Village followed Xiao Yu, trembling with fear all the way.
He never dreamed that his old friend wanted to kill Xiao Yu, but was killed by Xiao Yu in the end. All this was too dramatic.
But Xiao Yu knew in his heart that this incident had nothing to do with the village chief of Jie Village. The black-bearded old man was entirely responsible for it.
"You guys go back first, I'll go out for a walk by myself."
Xiao Yu turned around and said to the female ghost in white, then walked along an alley.
There are two other monks in Qinglong. They all inquired about the information about Hell and Yinsi from different places, and finally learned that Yinsi and Hell were fighting Jiehe.
However, both sides only made tentative attacks, and there was no large-scale close combat.
In the evening, Xiao Yu and others sat together again and took stock again.
"That's what happened. Let Xiaobao sneak into their military camp first, get an official position, and gain their trust. After we have fully investigated all the forces stationed here, we will choose to defeat them one by one."
After much deliberation, Xiao Yu and the others still believed that taking action rashly was too risky. If the trapped city was guarded by a ghost commander, eight of their missions would be ruined, so they couldn't be careless in the slightest.
"I agree. Let Xiaobao gain their trust first, and then get some information from other generals."
Qinglong did not disagree with Xiao Yu this time, but agreed very much.
"Amitabha, I have no objection either."
A few people roughly reached a consensus, and Xiao Yu called Xiaobao out that night and asked him to find a place to stay outside overnight to avoid being discovered.
Of course, Xiao Yu's action plan was also passed to the Ninth General through some spies.
General Ninth also agreed that Xiao Yu and the others would lie dormant for a while until everything was ready, and they would not be too late to march.
In this way, time passed day by day. Xiaobao had joined the besieged city army for ten days, but not much useful information had been sent back during these ten days.
"Brother, you have such strong cultivation at such a young age, and your future is boundless."
Opposite Xiaobao, a man in black held a wine bottle in his hand and said with a smile on his face.
"Brother Lu, this is just a small fuss. Please take care of me in the future."
Xiaobao was a little drowsy after drinking at this time. From time to time, he picked up the jar and toasted to the other party.
"Hey, what are you caring about? Although we are all ghost generals, our strength is far different from yours. If you, brother, become successful in the future, don't forget the buddy who drank today."
A ghost stood up unsteadily and kept waving the jar in his hand, as if it would fall down at any time.
Xiaobao also stood up. Although he was not tall, his drinking capacity was astonishing.
"Hey, brother, please don't hurt me. I regret joining the military camp!
Do you know, I heard that there are more than a dozen ghost kings in the Yin Division's team this time, and there are rumors that there are ghost commanders participating in the battle!
You think, if the Ghost King and the Ghost Commander come over, will we still have a way to survive?"
Xiaobao seemed to be talking to himself. After finishing speaking, he picked up the wine jar and started drinking heavily.
"Hey... little brother, don't be discouraged. They have a ghost king, and we also have a ghost king. They have a ghost commander, and we also have a ghost commander. Are we afraid of a bird?
You can rest assured, the geographical location of the trapped city is so important, it must be impregnable, and it will not be easy to defeat, so you should be at ease."
A ghost general put his arm around Xiaobao's shoulders and said, smelling of alcohol.
"real or fake?
Why didn't I see Gui Shuai? If this is true, that would be great. We will have a lot of time to drink and have fun together in the future."
Xiaobao pretended to be happy and his face was full of excitement.
"Of course it is true, and there is more than one ghost commander trapped in the city. Don't be fooled by the superficial phenomena."
Several ghosts were nesting together, constantly pushing cups and changing cups. After a while, everyone fell asleep.
After everyone fell asleep, Xiaobao suddenly sat up from behind the table, but he did not leave directly, but sat there in a daze.
"Sure enough, there is a ghost commander. I don't know where he is. It seems he needs to get in touch with some high-level ghost kings!"
Xiaobao joins the military camp as a ghost general, and the brothers next to him are naturally all ghost generals.
Ordinary ghost generals have no idea about such important things!
To get more information, Xiaobao has to break through the ghost generals and reach the level of ghost kings. Only then can he have a chance to talk to those ghost kings!
The next morning, Xiao Yu received Xiaobao's information.
Xiao Yu did not stop Xiaobao from exposing the fact that he was the Ghost King.
In the past few days, more and more ghosts have come to trap the city, not only from the surrounding villages, but also from more merchants and experienced ghosts.
At the same time, some yellow-haired Westerners also appeared, which made the city suddenly tense.
"Xiao Yu, did you hear that? There was another fighting at the border this morning. I heard that 30,000 Yin souls died this time. I don't know what the Yin division's casualties were!"
As soon as Xiao Yu came back from the street in the evening, he was stopped by Qinglong and started chattering a lot.
"It has spread throughout the city. Even if I am deaf, I am afraid everyone will know about it!
Don't talk about it all day long, just practice with peace of mind and wait for Xiaobao's reply. When the time comes, we will naturally take action."
That night, Xiao Yu sent intelligence to General Ninth, asking him to launch a bigger war as much as possible to attract the attention of the high-level officials trapped in the city.
The other party did not disappoint him. Three days later, the underworld crossed the river boundary and began to march towards hell on a large scale.
The trapped city also immediately provided support. Nearly 100,000 troops set off from the trapped city and marched toward the border in a mighty manner.
That night, Xiao Yu sat alone in his room, holding a piece of intelligence in his hand, which told them to capture the trapped city quickly, lest it take too long and other cities in hell would send troops to reinforce.
"Xiaobao, why hasn't your information come yet?"
General Ninth has urged him several times, but Xiao Yu has always suppressed him. This is a matter of life and death. Once it fails, it will be a disaster, so you must act carefully.
