Liaozhai Great Sage

After being drunk, Hua Gu's expression changed, she didn't know how to refute.

By night.

The thieves and bandits in the county celebrated their achievements.

But outside the county seat, there was a scholar with a few ghost soldiers, and ghost messengers wandered cautiously outside the city.

"Master Chenghuang, this county has been taken over by bandits. Li Liangjin and the old Heishan demon rebelled. You should go to Jinling City to sue the saints for such a big event. Why is your lord still not leaving?" There are scruples in the heart of the county.

This is not an ordinary bandit rebellion. There are countless ghosts and ghosts hiding in it. Even ghosts and gods will run away when they encounter it.

The scholar Chenghuang said: "The thieves took the city because the yamen guards are not good, and the ghosts took the city because I, the local city god, have failed in my duty. If I go back to Jinling City like this, what face do I have to meet the sage in the world? And the sage also sent Yin soldiers before." I was notified that there might be a military disaster in Yangzhou, and I was reminded of this beforehand, which made me appear even more incompetent."

"The thieves are powerful, and the ghosts and gods are powerful. How can we resist them with our meager morals? This is not the crime of the city god." Yin Bing said again.

"That being said, if you don't do anything, it's not dereliction of duty, but inaction. What's the use of ghosts and gods if they don't do anything? And the people in a county are suffering so much now. How can I bear it? It is powerless to recover, and I also want to spread the news of the rebels here to Jinling City as soon as possible." The scholar Chenghuang said.

"Didn't you already send someone to deliver the message?"

Scholar Chenghuang shook his head and said: "The news from ghosts and gods is not convincing enough, it will only increase the annoyance of the saints in the world, if you can send a living person to Jinling City to meet the Minister of the Ministry of War, it will be more convincing, and can make the court believe here. There was a rebellion."

"Master Chenghuang is really considerate, but there are big monsters entrenched in the county, what can we do to send a living person to Jinling City?" The Yin soldier next to him frowned again.

The scholar City God also thought hard, and circled around the county.

He didn't dare to set foot in the county seat, as soon as he set foot there, he would be noticed by the evil spirits inside, and he would be buried here at that time.

After turning around, the scholar Chenghuang suddenly let out a light gasp, and saw a floating corpse beside the moat.

"Bring that corpse here, I can feel that there is still life in him."

The two ghost messengers responded and dragged the floating corpse ashore.

Scholar Chenghuang checked it out, and said with some joy: "This man is so fateful, half of his neck was chopped off, and he was soaked in water for several hours, yet he is still alive, and his soul has not left."

"My lord, this man is the sergeant who guards the city named Mao Wu. When the bandits entered the city, he fought bravely to kill the enemy. Unfortunately, he was exhausted and was arrested. Although he is angry now, he is already dead." The Yin soldier also checked After a while, he opened his mouth and said.

Scholar Chenghuang said: "It doesn't matter, as long as there is still life and the soul has not left the body, it is fine. If the soul leaves the body and becomes a wicked ghost, I will not have such high morals to revive the dead."

With that said, he walked to the side of the corpse, squatted down, supported the corpse's head, and closed the wound on the neck.

Then he took a breath and reached out to touch it.

But he saw that the original hideous opening was closed together by the scholar Chenghuang, and there was no wound, only a red line on his neck.

Scholar Chenghuang turned over the corpse and patted his back, only to see that the corpse opened its mouth to spit out a big mouthful of river water, and pressed the abdomen again, and the corpse that had lost its breath gradually began to breathe again .

After a while, the defender named Mao Wu woke up faintly.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a man with the appearance of a scholar standing in front of him, looking at him with a smile on his face, beside him stood a number of gloomy-looking soldiers, and some servants in government uniforms.

"He hasn't fully recovered yet, you all should help him to Jinling City together, the speed must be fast, don't waste time." Scholar Chenghuang said.

"Yes." Yin soldiers on the left and right, ghost messengers responded.

Mao Wu, who was not yet fully awake, became dazed again at this time, but felt that there were many people around him supporting him, some were supporting his arms, some were supporting his body, and some were lifting his feet. The body became lighter, as if floating in mid-air.

"Hoohoo~!"

The whistling wind sounded beside his ears, and Mao Wu felt as if he was running forward continuously, unable to stop at all.

In the end, he didn't know how long he had been running, but by the time he could stop, he had regained his sobriety.

But when he opened his eyes, he saw a tall city in front of him, with three large characters written on it: Jinling City.

"What? I arrived at Jinling City, am I already dead?" Mao Wu was shocked. He touched his neck and then his heart, and found that his body was warm, and his pulse and heartbeat were not Just not dead.

"Of course someone will arrange for you to go after you go to Jinling City. Don't try to escape, otherwise you will never let me go lightly." A voice suddenly sounded next to your ear.

Mao Wu was shocked, but when he looked left and right, he found that there was no one at all.

When he calmed down a little bit, he knew that he was helped by ghosts and gods. It was ghosts and gods who saved his life. He still vaguely remembered that he was cut off by a very powerful bandit leader and fell into the moat. , now not only came back to life, but suddenly came to Jinling City, the ghosts and gods must have arranged.

Mao Wu first thanked the four directions, front, back, left, and right, then knelt down and kowtowed a few times in the direction of the county seat, and then hurriedly headed towards Jinling City.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt footsteps following him along the way, and it never stopped.

Chapter 397 Drumming

"Has Li Liangjin rebelled?"

In the lobby of the mansion, Li Xiuyuan sat on the main seat holding a piece of letter paper and frowned. Li Linfu was waiting next to him. Below him were five ghost kings and ghosts and gods from all directions.

"My sage, it was Li Liangjin who took the lead in the rebellion, but he has four great chiefs under his command. The Lord City God said that those four chiefs are all unusual, and among them Shihu was the first to break into the county." A Yin soldier clasped his fists. Salute, said respectfully.

"It's the Black Mountain old demon, and he actually rebelled with Li Liangjin?" The son-mother ghost king exclaimed.

Li Linfu narrowed his eyes and said: "My lord, Shi Hu is an extraordinary monster. With him here, it is not as simple as a simple rebellion."

"That's right, it's really not easy to have a big monster involved in it, and since Song Shou City God said that the four chiefs are not ordinary, I'm afraid they are all inhumans, maybe they were transformed by a big monster, and their morals are not weak. How many tigers are there, this is no longer a matter of pure ghosts and gods, this matter needs to be known to Fu Tianchou, otherwise it will not be a problem to capture half of Yangzhou in a short time with their abilities." Li Xiuyuan said.

At the same time, he was startled secretly, no wonder the gods and Buddhas in the sky helped him before, so they already knew that this military disaster was not easy.

But relying on the army of the imperial court cannot be put down, and ghosts and gods are needed to help.

Li Linfu said: "I am afraid that Fu Tianchou will not believe the news from the ghosts and gods. The news of the rebellion must be confirmed to be true before it can be reported. If it is half false, it is a crime of deceiving the emperor. The crime is not small."

Indeed, officials would not report any incidents of rebellion if they were not very certain. Not only that, but officials would even conceal it if there was a small-scale rebellion.

Why?

There is rebellion in the local area, isn't the local parental officer responsible?

So this also caused a strange phenomenon, that is, after the court knew the news of the rebellion, the rebels often became popular, even if the court sent troops to quell the chaos, the price paid was very high.

"Relying on the one-sided words of ghosts and gods is indeed not enough to convince Fu Tianchou. He is an upright official, and he will not be confused about big things. I can persuade him about other small things, but I can't convince him about such a big thing."

Li Xiuyuan shook his head slightly and said, "It's best to bring a civil servant or official from the place where the rebellion happened, even a yamen servant. With witnesses, Fu Tianchou will have to believe it."

"That's true." Li Linfu also nodded.

Li Xiuyuan sighed and said: "In the final analysis, my reputation is too low. If I have an official on me, I can report it to the imperial court in person. Even if the imperial court is corrupt, it will not ignore the appearance of rebels." Well, no matter how corrupt the court is, it will definitely not be like this."

Li Linfu suddenly whispered: "Master, have you forgotten that you have already started to govern Yangzhou? The list of magistrates and county magistrates in Yangzhou has been reported. Why don't ghosts and gods dream and let them report the rebellion to the court?"

"It's reasonable, but to entrust the officials with a dream must be a ghost with good morals, gossip ghost king, you can handle this matter."

After being reminded by this, he was a little stunned immediately, and immediately gave an order.
