The military prince who greeted the Linqiong Ghost King said respectfully amidst the sound of horse hooves, "The State Shepherd has already set up a banquet in the south tower to await all the strange people."
Linqiong Ghost King asked, "Where is Ghost Princess?"
The military commander responded, "Gui Ji is at the west gate."
Then he added, "The demons are coming fiercely, and there are people stationed at all the city walls. The governor of the state is guarding the south gate of Mianzhu, the captain Dong Fu of Qingyi is guarding the north gate of Mianzhu, and the chief Sima Zhao Wei is guarding the east gate of Mianzhu."
When Yu Xian heard this, he felt very happy.
He and Linqiong Ghost King entered from the east gate, which was the territory guarded by Zhao Wei.
If he met Liu Yan and Dong Fu, I'm afraid it wouldn't be so easy to fish in troubled waters.
Linqiong Ghost King ignored the state pastor's banquet and went directly to Ximen with Yu Xian.
Although Mianzhu City is temporarily the administrative center of Yizhou, the area covered by the city is not large, only a few miles in radius.
This place was originally a territory of the Cancong Kingdom. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the population multiplied and gradually prospered.
Later, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty established Mianzhu County here, which was subordinate to Guanghan County.
Unfortunately, Mianzhu is located on the edge of the Chengdu Plain. Talents and resources are constantly being attracted to nearby large cities. Over the years, the situation has been neither better nor worse.
Liu Yan stationed here because it was very close to the Shu and Qianwei counties that had rebelled before, so it was easy to intimidate.
Secondly, it was because of actual interests. Mianzhu was high in the northwest and low in the southeast. If we invaded Shu County from Mianzhu, Jianwei County was a large plain. If we attacked Mianzhu from Shu County and Jianwei County, we would be trapped in the mountainous terrain.
This has a huge military advantage in the cold weapon era.
Of course, there is the most important point.
That was when Liu Yan was most successful in the Yizhou Army's attack on Hanzhong. Seeing that there was hope for Shangluo, he finally couldn't restrain his excitement and trembling hands. He had people cut down big trees and built more than a thousand chariots in Mianzhu.
Who would have thought that as soon as the luxurious emperor's guard of honor was built, Zhang Lu turned his back and completely blocked Liu Yan's way north.
After the dream of going to Luo was shattered, the emperor's honor guard of more than a thousand carriages in Mianzhu had become Liu Zhoumu's last thought.
Linqiong Ghost King walked very fast, and soon he had arrived at the west gate of Mianzhu.
Just as he was about to board the city gate, he heard a gloomy voice asking from above, "Why are you here? Where are the White Mountain Ghost King and the others? Why didn't they come together?"
Linqiong Ghost King kept walking and said slowly, "I'm here to see Wu Yan."
The voice paused and then said calmly, "The three of them are already dead."
Within a few words, Linqiong Ghost King had already arrived at the city gate. Then, she asked in slight surprise, "Are you all here?"
Someone sighed and replied, "Han Jia is gone."
Only then did the Linqiong Ghost King take a closer look, his eyes scanning over the Bashan Ghost King, the Fujie Ghost King, the Hechi Ghost King and the Ailao Ghost King in sequence.
The remaining people crowded around were disciples of various witch and ghost sects.
They all heard the questions and answers from both sides, and the atmosphere instantly became solemn.
Baishan, Qingying, Canling, Hanjia.
In just a few days, four of the ten ghost kings in Sichuan died.
If the people present were not all practitioners with firm minds, they would have panicked and acted violently.
At this time, someone asked in a deep voice, "How did Baishan and the others die?"
Linqiong Ghost King replied, "It was a demon called Pheasant Taoist. Bai Shan and the other three were killed without even having a chance to ask for help."
Seemingly seeing that there were no outsiders on the tower, Linqiong Ghost King said and took off the paper money covering Yu Xian's face.
Yu Xian heard the sound of "Hey" and opened his eyes to look for the sound, but it was the Ghost King of Bashan who was winking at him.
Yu Xian had long been disappointed with these unreasonable brothers and sisters. He glanced at them and ignored them.
The person who asked the question before said flatly, "It's impossible. That Pheasant Taoist has been near Mianzhu these days."
Linqiong Ghost King had never seen Taoist Pheasant with his own eyes, and his previous judgments were based on one-sided words he heard from Yu Xian.
After hearing this, he immediately asked calmly, "Why do you think the person here is Taoist Pheasant?"
Another person answered, "Han Jia was killed by Taoist Pheasant. Gui Ji was the first to notice and rushed to rescue him. Unfortunately, not only could he not rush to save Han Jia, but after a fight, Gui Ji was seriously injured and almost died."
Died on the spot."
Linqiong Ghost King nodded and glanced at Yu Xian.
Only then did someone pay attention to Yu Xian.
"Who is this?"
Without waiting for Linqiong Ghost King to answer, Bashan Ghost King looked at Yu Xian awkwardly and said with a smile, "This person has nothing to do with you. It is a personal grudge that my sister entrusted Linqiong to settle. I know this matter clearly, and this person
Just leave it to me."
Yu Xian sneered, ignored Bashan Ghost King's words, and continued to do his best to suppress the disease in his body.
The Linqiong Ghost King was not in a hurry to hand over Yu to the Bashan Ghost King. She said slowly, "Although I have never seen the Pheasant Taoist with my own eyes, he has dealt with the demon. Since he is convinced that he killed Baishan
It’s Taoist Pheasant, so maybe it’s always involved.”
The Ghost King of Linqiong said to the Ghost King of Bashan, "Don't rush to kill this man, he may have some use."
Bashan Ghost King laughed dryly and muttered uncomfortably, "I didn't mean to do that in the first place."
Linqiong Ghost King heard this and ignored the matter.
She looked at the remaining ghost kings again and said in a strong tone, "We can't just sit back and wait for death. Who is in charge now?"
Linqiong Ghost King looked at one person and asked, "Hechi?"
The Ghost King of Hechi is a pale-faced scholar dressed up.
When he heard Linqiong Ghost King's question, he rolled his eyes and seemed to be in a daze without saying a word.
The Linqiong Ghost King raised his eyebrows again and looked at the other Ghost King, "Is this you, Fu Jie?"
The Fujie Ghost King looked very friendly, smiling casually and waving his hands.
Linqiong Ghost King glanced at a dark-faced man and said in a somewhat contemptuous tone, "Ailao? Ha."
The black-faced man looked a little ugly and said angrily, "What do you mean?"
Linqiong Ghost King didn't even ask the second question, and looked at the fat and greasy Bashan Ghost King.
Bashan Ghost King actually shrank his head to avoid humiliating himself.
Before Linqiong Ghost King could speak, he heard a lazy and indifferent voice coming from the tower behind him, "I'm just injured, not dead yet!"
Everyone immediately looked for the sound.
But he saw Gui Ji Wu Yan, wearing a loose black robe and a white jade crown, slowly appearing on the second floor of the tower.
Wu Yan lowered his eyes, half smiling, "Xiao Linqiong?"
The Linqiong Ghost King was originally trying to get the command with great ferocity, but now he looked up at Wu Yan and said nothing.
The four ghost kings lowered their heads and snickered, their eyes exchanged rapidly.
Wu Yan was condescending and naturally saw Yu Xian on the city.
She chuckled and said lazily, "Isn't this the disobedient little fish?"
