Chapter 334

"Of course there is!"

Huang Xiaoer was obviously refreshed: "As far as I know, there are five military barracks and government offices in Qinshuiguan. The headquarters of the Chinese Army's headquarters is in the center. The four military offices of the front army, left army, right army and rear army are divided into yamen. Everyone in the four directions now has a master!"

Qi Jingzhi was surprised: "So many?"

"The grass-headed god urges the corpse energy to spread all over the mountains and wild fields. No matter how powerful it is, its momentum is comparable to that of the great monks in the third realm, or even worse. Such a monster can only stay outside the city. How can the five demons entrenched in the city be so tyrannical and extravagant?"

Huang Xiaoer immediately shook his head: "Master Xiaowei is wrong! After all, this Forbidden Water Pass was built by the military lord of Qi State. It contains many unique principles of the human race. The more corpses raised by nature live in it, the more likely it will be. The more uncomfortable I feel.”

"Most of the corpse ghosts occupying the city now are related to the Northern Expansion Army and even the Hengye Marquis. They are not naturally wild. They are interested in expanding their territory outside the city. However, they are young and have little knowledge, so they are no match for the grass-headed god. Such a ruthless character is just trapped in the city and barely surviving."

Qi Jingzhi was slightly startled, but he did not expect to get such an answer. The figure of the headless red-armored general in the underworld flashed in his mind.

"So, that general is not Marquis Hengye, but the manifestation of the humane legal principles condensed in Forbidden Water Pass?"

"However, the Water Forbidden General has no head on his neck, and is also parasitized by the white-bone monster tree and thousands of insect corpses. His situation is very worrying..."

Thinking of this, Qi Jingzhi believed most of what Huang Xiaoer said.

He looked at the corpse demon in front of him and knew that although he wore a human body and spoke human language, his body was probably just like its kin, some kind of grotesque insect.

However, it is not difficult to see from his previous words, actions, and decisions that Huang Xiaoer has obviously been affected by the principles of humane law. He is completely different from his cowardly and ignorant kin, and is also different from the bloodthirsty and cruel people like Wild Gouzi. There is a huge gap between generations.

"Well, as long as no innocent humans are harmed, this business can be done..."

Huang Xiaoer was a little embarrassed by the sight, and without waiting for the young man to ask questions, he quickly took the initiative and said: "With your master's methods, there is absolutely no opponent in the Forbidden Water Pass. It's just that there seems to be something weird in the rear army's Dutong Mansion entrenched in the south city. Sir, please don't If you covet the valuables and valuables in it, don’t provoke them if you can.”

"Ok?"

Qi Jingzhi immediately showed doubts on his face: "If our army wants to enter the Forbidden Water Pass, it will naturally have to go through the nearest South City Gate. The first thing it has to face is the corpse of the Houjun Dutong Mansion. How can we do this without provoke?"

As for the so-called treasures that Huang Xiaoer said, he didn't take it to heart.

After all, more than ten years have passed, and the food and fodder are probably no longer available, and most of the soldiers, armor, and weapons are no longer usable. What is left is nothing more than gold, silver, and copper coins as military pay and rewards.

Nowadays, no one in the Zuowu Army knows that Colonel Yulin is a wealthy man.

Huang Xiaoer chuckled and was about to explain, but was interrupted by a sudden rumble of horse hooves.

Qi Jingzhi followed the sound and saw a large group of cavalry with bright armor rushing out of the miasmatic white mist a little further to the east. The sound of horse hooves rumbled northward.

"Thank you, Zuowu Army, for opening the way!"

"The first achievement in seizing the city depends on my Yongchang Zuojun!"

Amidst the waves of shouts and laughter, I saw that the cavalry was impressively more than a thousand riders, and it was flying the banner of the Yongchang Left Army. The leading general was tall and tall, wearing a white mourning robe over his armor. Even the hundreds of soldiers who closely surrounded him were also dressed in plain clothes.

They rushed like a whirlwind into the wilderness where the wildfire was about to die out, scrambling to flatten the ashes and scatter the remaining smoke with their horse hooves, showing their majesty.

Qi Jingzhi raised his eyebrows at the sight: "The Cao Tou Shen is such a hard nut for our army to chew on, and they jump out to pinch the soft persimmon? Not only does Shouguang Hou know the reality of Forbidden Water Pass, but he is also really kind to his soldiers. …”

At this time, Li Shenxian, who was on the side, could not care about guarding against Huang Xiaoer. He ran forward and said urgently: "Sir! This Yongchang border army is so shameless! If they rush into the city and occupy all the important places, we Didn’t these dozens of brothers die in vain?”

"Please give the order, sir, to lead us to catch up!"

Li Shenxian, the Bazhou tiger, was a veteran in the army. He had heard and seen many dirty things in the battle formations. Seeing that the Yongchang border troops were trying to steal the credit from his side, he actually laughed and ridiculed loudly. Seriously. Furious.

The surrounding Zuowu soldiers were also excited and cursed: "Please give me an order, let's fight with those shameless scumbags!"

Hearing this, Qi Jingzhi showed no joy or anger on his face. He just stretched out his hand to press down. The noise and curses around him immediately subsided.

He turned to look at Huang Xiaoer next to him: "Is there really something weird?"

The young man with a medium build and lively eyes nodded without hesitation: "In my opinion, those things in the south of the city can't compete with the other places on the surface, but they are very nourishing."

"They managed the baggage during their lifetime, and kept a lot of good things in the yamen. After their death, they were even more greedy, and they took the city gate tax seriously without mercy!"

When it came to the word city gate tax, Huang Xiaoer was clearly gnashing his teeth.Qi Jingzhi thought: "Humanity and legal principles are good, but once they slip into the direction of tyranny and oppression, even corpses will suffer the consequences..."

"But when it comes to his familiarity with the ghouls in Forbidden Water, I'm afraid even Shouguang Hou can't compare to Huang Xiaoer."

Thinking of this, the young man turned his head and looked around: "Hey? Where did Ban Nu go?"

Almost as soon as Qi Jingzhi finished speaking, the sound of treading water came from the miasmaous white mist behind.

Not long after, a strange beast with black and white tiger stripes came out of the mist, with a Zuowu flag hanging above its head. Its mouth was stuffed with ghosts and monsters, chewing them as it ran, making a crunching sound and juice overflowing.

Behind its butt were followed seven cheerful teenagers with spokes, all of them holding the food in their mouths and returning home with a full load, and enjoying the food equally.

"Huh? You are so happy!"

Qi Jingzhi's eyes were as bright as lightning, and he ignored the seven young men with car spokes. He just stared at Bannu: "Didn't you say that Zuowu is a benevolent beast in ancient times, and the beast will not eat unless it kills itself? Or is it between you and Zuowu? In my eyes, these ghosts are not living creatures at all?"

"Also, aren't you always afraid of water?"

Seeing that his master's eyes were very unkind, Bannu's originally cheerful expression suddenly froze, and his movements became hesitant.

Seeing this, Li Shenxian quickly interjected: "Thanks to Bannu and the Jiahu team for taking care of us when we crossed the river this time, otherwise the brothers would have suffered a lot."

Qi Jingzhi's face brightened slightly, he sat astride Bannu's back, and loudly ordered to the soldiers around him: "It doesn't matter which guard or battalion, everyone with horses will follow me! The rest will be at the command of Captain Wei!"

Because Colonel Habayashi and Captain Dafeng were brothers, the two guards of Zuowu had always been close to each other, and something like this had happened more than once on their way north.

Therefore, as soon as the young man gave the order, there was a thunderous response on the river beach. The soldiers who had already crossed the river got on their horses without hesitation and gathered towards the Zuowu flags flying up into the sky.

Within a short time, a cavalry force of about 300 people, composed of soldiers from the second guard and the fourth battalion, was formed, closely following Captain Habayashi as he galloped north.

"That Nao Shizi's 'Ghost King' doesn't keep his filial piety at home, but he wants to come to seek bad luck on our Zuowu army. He's really getting tired of living!"

Li Shenxian was a horse's head behind his captain, with trembling flesh on his face and a ferocious smile: "How about... I'm going to give him a hard blow and send his mother and son to reunite down there? Your Excellency, I'm going to shoot you in the right eye. I guarantee you won't." Damn his left eye at all!"

"What are you talking about!"

Qi Jingzhi turned around and glared at this unruly subordinate, and said angrily: "Since ancient times, the dead have always been the most important. The old lady of the Wang family was a strange woman with a brave character and a sense of reason. We should have the utmost respect in our hearts, and we will shoot her anyway." The son of a murderer?"

"Wang Dutong is also admirable for taking the lead in the expedition this time. There is also the Yongchang Left Army under his command. They are all Paoze brothers who are marching with us to the north. They should live in harmony with each other!"

Although Qi Jingzhi said this, the corners of his mouth turned up unconsciously.

He suddenly raised his fist and shouted again: "Brothers, listen up! We are not here to gain credit this time, but to cheer for Wang Dutong's Yongchang Left Army! If people want to advance into the city, let them go Come in, let others occupy whatever space they want, and there must be no conflicts!"

Qi Jingzhi's words were all prompted by the "Crying Crane Technique", and the sound spread across the wilderness for a while. Not only did his three hundred cavalry hear it clearly, but even the Yongchang left army running in front heard it faintly.

The three hundred cavalrymen of Zuowu Army immediately started a commotion. Everyone looked at each other, but there was no dissatisfaction on their faces. Instead, they all looked at each other with some secret excitement and expectation.

Li Shenxian was so surprised that he opened his mouth wide: "Sir, it's not enough for you to kill the Ghost Head King, and you don't even plan to keep the entire Yongchang Left Army?"

Qi Jingzhi hesitated when he heard the words, and then said angrily: "What are you talking about? Which sentence or word I just said did you not hear clearly?"

Li Shenxian immediately shut his mouth.

He only asked this question because he heard it so clearly, not to mention that he had just seen it for real, and the captain was clearly smiling!

Nowadays, no one in the Zuowu Army knows that Colonel Qi of the Yulin Guards has always only followed rules but not kindness, and often shows off his bad face to others.

It's just that a bad face is a bad face, and Colonel Qi won't get angry easily, but once he becomes amiable, someone will definitely be in bad luck, and if any unlucky guy is rewarded by Colonel Qi, Bright smile...

Li Shenxian's face trembled: "Those killers in the Yongchang Left Army want to take credit for their success. They just want to make a fortune in silence, but they want to make provocations regardless of life and death."

"Well, if they can make the captain smile, they can be considered to have died a worthy death."
