Chapter 378 The Return of the People and the Ghost Stone Fire!
Chapter 378 The return of the people and the fire of the ghost stone!
After the kings and envoys of various countries understood the whole story of the ghost disaster in Guanling and made up their mind, they did not choose to leave. Instead, they stayed in Guanling City for a few days to see if the ghosts would really kill them as Xiyunbo said.
The people of Guanling City were returned intact.
The next day, the sun sets, night falls, October is in the sky, and the world becomes a world of monsters and ghosts!
The lights in Guanling City were brightly lit, as bright as day, and there were people standing on the city walls.
With Yao Yun as the center, two guest kings, Uncle Mo and Uncle Shan Yuan, accompanied him on one side. Envoys from various countries and people of the Youxi clan gathered around, stretching their necks to look at the dark night outside the city, and the power of their minds continued to search outside.
The movement in the distance seems to be waiting for something!
Tonight is the day when Xi Yunbo and [Yin Bing Yin General] agreed to redeem the people of Guanling City.
The envoys from various countries and the monarchs wanted to see them even at the risk of danger. Their expressions were both expectant and worried, and they were even more nervous than the victim, Yao Yun.
Yao Yun smiled and said: "You don't need to be nervous, the time is coming, the ghosts will arrive soon!"
Uncle Mo forced out a smile: "Uncle Xiyun is so calm!"
They are all Gu's subordinates. Of course Gu has determination, Yao Yun secretly said with a faint smile on his face.
"The army of ghosts is coming!"
Suddenly, a dark wind sprang up, and a sinister ghostly aura came towards us from the distant night. The foreign envoys, all members of the Youxi clan, were all highly cultivated people, and they immediately noticed the movement ahead.
On the outskirts of Guanling City, black dragon ghost flags undulated in the ghost clouds, from far to near, and then a large wave of ghost soldiers and ghost generals walked out of the black mist, armored and sharp, solemn and peaceful, without any clutter, and ordinary
The chaotic army of ghosts forms a sharp contrast!
These are truly well-trained elites, definitely not comparable to the rabble that harasses surrounding countries!
Just by looking at it, the kings and envoys of various countries knew that [Black Jade Qilin] had not lost unjustly. Such a well-trained army of ghosts with orders and prohibitions was unheard of and unseen!
Not long after, the cries and screams of joy from the human race came from the outskirts of Guanling City!
The people of Guanling City who were kidnapped!
Although it was still dark ahead, everyone's faces showed joy. The ghost actually released the people as promised.
Uncle Mo smacked his lips: "Uncle Xiyun, really... I really sent it back, the ghost is so easy to talk to!"
Yao Yun: "It's not that ghosts are easy to talk to. It's because Xishi's name is easy to talk to. It's the ghost stone that's easy to talk to. Gu Ke spent a full five hundred ghost stones. If converted into gold, that's a full twenty-five thousand taels of gold!"
Uncle Mo, Uncle Shan Yuan, the envoys from various countries, and the elders of the Youxi clan beside them were all speechless. Uncle Xiyun was really willing to spend twenty-five thousand taels. To be fair, if the matter was put to them, they would definitely not be willing to spend twenty-five thousand taels.
Five thousand taels of gold were used to redeem tens of thousands of people.
In this world, human life is not valuable, gold is valuable!
Master Jimo, who was hiding in the corner, felt a little hot after listening to Yao Yun's words. Many of the people in Guanling City were members of the Youxi clan, and many of them were his loyal ministers. However, he abandoned the people that night and saved them today.
It was not him who returned to the people, but Yao Yun.
Thinking that Yao Yun spent tens of thousands of taels of gold without blinking an eye in order to save the people, Mr. Jimo couldn't help but secretly feel guilty!
Plop, plop!
The ghost soldiers and generals arrived at the gate of the city in uniform steps. Only then did everyone see the full picture of the ghost army. Unlike everyone's imagination of tens of thousands of people and the elite division [Yin Bing Yin General] coming in person, this ghost army was not the same.
Powerful, with only a few breaths of the Ghost King.
This is not an elite division [Yin Bing Yin General], but an army of ordinary ghosts? Can an army of ordinary ghosts also enforce orders and prohibitions?
This is too incredible. Is this an army of ghosts?
The hearts of everyone watching on the city wall surged with panic. No wonder Guanling City was completely defeated in the first battle. No need to see [Yin Bing Yin General], just this ordinary ghost can prove everything.
Immediately, the smiles on everyone's faces condensed, and a haze hung over everyone's heads, lingering!
Yao Yun looked at everyone's expressions and immediately laughed secretly in his heart. He never thought that this could scare everyone. It seemed that he was really a terror maker!
Yao Yun shook his head and said to Cang Man beside him: "Cang Man, go negotiate with the Ghost King below the city and escort the people in the city back to the city safely!"
"Here!" Cangman Baoquan accepted the order.
"Listen, ghost king below the city, I am Cang Man, the general of the Xi Kingdom. I have been ordered by my king to welcome back the people. Everything goes well. I, the Xi Kingdom, will definitely give you the five hundred ghost stones!"
"Okay, we always abide by our promises, just bring the people into the city!"
The negotiation between the two parties was not as thrilling as everyone on the city wall imagined, but was simple, peaceful, and friendly, just like a transaction in the market, with one hand paying the money and the other hand delivering the goods, a harmonious atmosphere!
This scene shocked everyone, and they were able to deal with ghosts like this!
"Uncle Xiyun, are ghosts so easy to deal with?" Uncle Mo asked in surprise.
Yao Yun was sweating in his heart. Of course ghosts are not so easy to deal with. Is it no wonder that Gu wants to tell you that they are Gu's most loyal lackeys?
After thinking for a while, Yao Yun quipped: "Although ghosts have weird personalities and are violent and untamable, their ideas are also simple. As long as you find the right key, it is not difficult to deal with them."
Everyone nodded thoughtfully, looking like they were being taught.
After Yao Yun finished speaking, he couldn't help but feel guilty and coughed twice: "The common people have entered the city, so go down alone to greet them!"
"Guanling City~We will meet Guanling City!"
"Wow, wow, we can actually come back alive, aren't we just dreaming!"
"It's Uncle Xiyun. We have Young Master Xi who spent countless money to redeem us from the hands of ghosts!"
"Great, fortunately we have a young master, woo woo woo~"
...
Yao Yun flashed and came to the city gate. He stood upright like a green pine. Looking at the excited people, Yao Yun couldn't help but feel guilty. He was the driving force behind the whole thing, and he was the culprit!
Although politics does not distinguish between right and wrong, only looking at interests, as the king of Xi State, what he did was not wrong at all, and it was a just act to safeguard the interests of Xi State, but personally, he felt ashamed of these people.
He made countless people suffer from running around, and some even died in this catastrophe.
"It's the young master! The young master has come to greet us in person!"
"Greetings to the Young Master (Prince Xi), woo woo woo"
There were only countless "plop" sounds heard, and countless people in Guanling City knelt on the ground, crying with gratitude.
Yao Yun's upright body trembled suddenly, and he said loudly from the bottom of his heart:
"I'm so sorry to you all!"
The people were so moved that they were speechless. It was obviously Mr. Jimo who caused the great disaster. What does it have to do with the young master (the king)?
"Young Master (King)!"
Yao Yun felt very uncomfortable. It seemed that he was not a mature king after all. Even if he won a great victory and achieved his goal, he would feel inexplicably depressed at this time.
"I will lead you home alone!"
...
This scene fell in the eyes of everyone. Not only did they praise Yao Yun, he loved the people like a son. He was worthy of being a benevolent and virtuous woman, and had the style of his ancestors!
Mr. Jimo originally planned to jump out at this time and let the army of ghosts discover that he was not dead and disrupt the matter. However, when he saw the people crying in tears, he was so ashamed that he left in despair.
The kings and envoys of various countries watched the people return to the city one by one. Cangman handed over the last ghost stone to the ghost king, and everyone's minds immediately began to become active.
The ghost stone is really a good thing!
For a time, the kings and envoys of various countries began to plan to acquire the Ghost Stone.
