In the next few days, General Timu asked for leave from King Beidi and did not go to the palace again on the grounds of attending his sister's funeral.

Although he lost the battle, he was still an important military commander in the court.

King Beidi killed his sister, and he witnessed it with his own eyes. He felt somewhat guilty, so he allowed him to take leave and rewarded him with a large amount of gold and silver so that he could bury his sister safely.

Not only that, he also generously exempted him from the punishment he should have received for losing the battle, and promoted him to an official position. He was promoted from general to general, and his salary was tripled.

He thought that as a king, being able to do this was the most benevolent thing, but he didn't know that Timu, who had lost his family, wanted to cut him into pieces every day.

Tiemu did not refuse the reward given to him by King Beidi. He told Chu Zhao that the money was obtained in exchange for his sister's life, and he would use it all to smoothen relationships, manage various joints, and strive to win over more helpers. .

Chu Zhao gave him an idea and asked him to take advantage of his sister's funeral to hold a running banquet at home for three days, send invitations to most of the people in the city, and take this opportunity to have secret talks with people he thought he could win over, and then let those people People secretly develop goals they believe are reliable.

Several young sons of officials were also attracted by King Beidi and were summoned to the palace, where they lived a life that was worse than death every day.

When they heard that Timu had brought back the missing sixth prince and planned to overthrow the tyranny of King Beidi, everyone hit it off and began to work actively for this matter in secret.

The people Tiemu brought back from Yanyunguan were all his confidants. Chu Zhao and A Ao moved into his house as soon as they entered the city. In addition, he deliberately concealed it, so the Beidi King did not know the existence of Chu Zhao and A Ao for the time being.

In addition, Timu secretly sent his confidants back to Yanyunguan to deliver messages to the soldiers in the Beidi army who were listening to his orders, so that they could be prepared and at his disposal at any time.

There was a funeral at home, and relatives came and went. Chu Zhao and the others put on Beidi clothes and covered their headscarves. When someone asked, they lied and claimed to be relatives of Tiemu's family.

Due to the atrocities committed by King Beidi, most local teenage boys and girls wore face coverings when going out, so no one doubted their identities.

Taking advantage of this convenience, Chu Zhao and the others sneaked into the city again, contacted the informant at Tianjimen, and learned that Xu Hui and the others were disguising themselves as a caravan and coming to the royal city, and they would arrive in a day or two.

Chu Zhao felt confident, so he stayed at Tiemu's house with peace of mind and waited for the opportunity.

As more and more people joined Timu's camp, some common people also heard the news through their relatives and took the initiative to come to seek refuge. They asked for nothing else but to be able to stab King Beidi when they killed him. Apply a few cuts to comfort the spirits of your loved ones in heaven.

They didn't dare to come during the day, so they came in the dead of night, causing the Timu family to be full of people every night, like a hundred ghosts walking at night.

Chu Zhao found it funny and told Tie Hammer about this statement. Unexpectedly, he really saw a ghost that night.

That ghost was still an old acquaintance of hers, the black and white Wu Chang whom she hadn't seen for a long time.

"Nvjun, Nvjun..."

When Chu Zhao heard this title in his daze, he opened his eyes and saw two ghost figures, one black and one white, wearing pointed hats standing in front of his bed.

"Hey, didn't you say you would never see me again? Why did you suddenly show up again?" Chu Zhao asked curiously.

Bai Wuchang was also very happy to see her again. When he was happy, his stammering became more serious: "I, I, I, we are, are, here to collect the souls, I know, I know the female, the female monarch is here, here, here , I came here to meet you."

"Collect souls?" Chu Zhao tried his best to ignore his stuttering and asked patiently, "Are the souls on the grassland also under your control?"

"That's right, of course." Bai Wuchang said, "Pu, all the souls in the world will return to our land and be under the control of the underworld."

"Oh." Chu Zhao nodded, "Did you just happen to stop by to see me?"

"Yeah, yeah, it's not." Bai Wuchang gestured, "I, we still have something to say to Nu, Nu Jun..."

"Uh..." Chu Zhao was really upset by what he heard, so he interrupted him rudely and turned to look at Hei Wuchang, "Why don't you tell me!"

We haven't seen each other for a long time. Hei Wuchang is colder than before. He clasped his hands on his chest and snorted, "Yan Jun asked us to bring you a message to kill King Beidi quickly."

"Why?" Chu Zhao raised his eyebrows and said, "He hasn't returned Xiao Chi to me yet, but he still has the nerve to order me around?"

"Because killing King Beidi is one of your tasks." Hei Wuchang said, "King Beidi has committed too many murders. In addition, there are frequent wars in the world. Many people die every day, causing the underworld to be overrun with ghosts. There is nowhere to set foot in the Hall of Yama."

"Yes, yes, yes..." Bai Wuchang suddenly frowned when he mentioned this, pointed at his pale face and said, "Nv, Nvjun, look, I work all day, overtime, work overtime to collect my soul, even sleep, sleep It’s not good, it’s dark, the dark circles are all coming out..."

"Hahahaha..." Chu Zhao knew that he shouldn't laugh at this time, but he couldn't help but laugh out loud. He imitated his tone and said, "It's true, it's true, you, you, you, your dark circles are almost black. Black, black, black, black and impermanent.”

"..." Bai Wuchang was teased by her and was about to cry, "Nv, Nvjun, what we said is true, really, you, you don't know how crowded the underworld is now, so... All the ghosts and servants are busy, busy, busy, busy, Tuan, Tuan Zhuan, Meng, Meng Po’s soup is almost boiling, and it can’t be cooked anymore.”

"Hahahaha..." Chu Zhao laughed again, suddenly thought of something, and tried to ask him, "Is your Yan Jun sending you to rush me because he feels sorry for Po Meng?"

"Ah?" Bai Wuchang widened his clear eyes, "Nv, Nvjun, you, you, you, how do you know, know?"

"I guessed it," Chu Zhao said, "Mother Meng won't suffer, endure, endure, and get dark circles under her eyes, right?"

"Yes." Bai Wuchang nodded fiercely and shook the pointed hat off his head, "Meng, Mrs. Meng is doing well recently. She is so haggard. It makes our Lord Yan feel very sad."

"Okay, shut up!" Hei Wuchang picked up the hat, put it back on his head angrily, pressed it hard, and said disgustedly, "Why do you talk so much nonsense?"

Bai Wuchang pouted, very innocently: "Well, that's not because, because you, you ignored me, I, I was so depressed."

"..." Hei Wuchang pulled off his hat and put it into a ball into his mouth, and said with a cold face, "Anyway, you just need to move quickly. There are more wars elsewhere waiting for you to calm down. If it continues to be delayed, , the underworld is about to burst."

Chu Zhao was speechless, and he followed his example and said with a cold face: "It's not that I can't hurry up, but the premise is that you must return Xiao Chi to me first."

Hei Wuchang glanced at her and opened his mouth. Just when Chu Zhao thought he was going to tell her Xiao Chi's information, he only uttered six words coldly.

"The secret cannot be leaked."

Chu Zhao almost died of anger, and said bitterly: "Okay, then I will be passive and slow down my work, and I will take my time with your Yan Jun. I will make his beloved Po Meng into an old woman Meng, and make her dark circles darker than yours." ."

"..." Hei Wuchang's face darkened a little more, and there was nothing he could do to her.

Bai Wuchang was anxious. When Hei Wuchang wasn't paying attention, he pulled off the hat in his mouth and quickly reported to Chu Zhao: "Xiao Chi is back, he is by your side."
