Emperor's Red Makeup: The Duke is too black

Chapter 180 The Rumored Nine Ghosts
Thousands of miles away, there is a small border town of Dayan, a border town!

The three women hurried along the road, thinking that they were about to reach their destination, but they never thought that in a forest outside the border town, they witnessed a series of wonderful games in the middle of the game...
It was night, the silent night sky with few moon stars, against the strange tranquility above the earth.

Although the border town is the frontier of Dayan, due to Dayan's superior geographical location, the climate has always been the most comfortable.

In the shallow grass, there are unknown insects chirping softly, and in the woods not far away, there is a faint rustling sound.

"Princess be careful, there is an abnormality ahead." Lu Yi's calm and calm voice recalled in this silent night, she and Zi Yi also clenched the swords in their hands at this time, and they protected Taba Yu one after the other.

Seeing the dignified expressions of the two, Ta Bayu knew that something bad was about to happen, so she couldn't help but also clenched the dagger in her sleeve.

She doesn't know martial arts, but if she encounters any accident, she will never let anyone bully her.

The three of them slowed down while carefully observing the situation ahead.

Suddenly, there were small and broken sounds in the woods ahead.

They held their breath at the same time, someone was coming, and there was more than one!
"This time, I don't believe that Xue Yingchen is still on the hook. Qiaoer has already sent news that he will go to our place tonight to carry out a siege. Hmph, I want to see what he is capable of, how dare he count him as big Even my ability can’t escape the net I personally laid.” A fat man who took the lead squatted not far in front of the three of Tabayu, and the people behind him also hid around him one after another, as if they were waiting for something.

Vaguely, Ta Bayu heard Xue Yingchen's name, and couldn't help feeling nervous.

Are they going to deal with Xue Yingchen?

Who are these people who want to deal with him?
As long as she thought of how dangerous his situation was, she couldn't help but start to worry.

Noticing the strangeness of Tabayu, Lu Yi hurriedly moved closer to her ear, and persuaded her in a soft voice: "Princess, don't worry, these people are skilled in martial arts, and Zi Yi and I are not their opponents. Once we fight, we have to wait until His Majesty arranges it." It may take some time for the dark guards to arrive, let's wait and see what they are going to do."

"En." Tabayu nodded, but she had already thought about it in her heart. If these people really wanted to harm him in a while, she would not sit idly by anyway.

Zi Yi and Lu Yi looked at each other, knowing that she didn't listen to what she said, but Marquis Ying Wu is not an idiot, so he shouldn't be fooled.

These people are the masters of the rivers and lakes from the big powers, each of them has a deep-seated unique skill, and because of their bad temper, they are either wanted by the government or hunted down by the people of the rivers and lakes. The village where robbers and murderers make a living is called Jiugui Village.

Nine ghosts, named after nine of them.

These nine people are the bosses of this village. They are not only strong in martial arts, but also vicious in nature, and they are also good at hidden weapons and poisons. It is only because everyone looks ordinary, even to the point of being ugly, that they are called ghosts by people, so they also This is how the Nine Ghosts Village was established.

This stockade happened to be near the border town, and because of this, the people in the border town had been oppressed and persecuted by them all the time.

Recently, Jin Kingdom seems to have calmed down. These nine people, known as the Nine Ghosts, continued to come to the border towns to harm the people, and even attacked the soldiers led by Xue Yingchen, which aroused Xue Yingchen's murderous intent.

Xue Yingchen besieged them three times, now out of nine ghosts, only six ghosts remain.

But the six who survived Xue Yingchen's siege must be clear to everyone how difficult they are to deal with.

Naturally, they couldn't stand Xue Yingchen's repeated attacks. If they knew that they would encounter such a difficult opponent, they would never agree to that person. The gold and beauties that he promised to give them have not yet been delivered. They have lost three brothers.

So this time, no matter what, they wanted to kill Xue Yingchen, the great enemy.

"Fat ghost, do you think Xue Yingchen will really pass through this forest tonight?" A man with red spots all over his face asked in a low voice.

The one called Fat Ghost was the eldest of the Nine Ghosts. He was not very tall, but his weight was astonishing.

"Of course, Qiaoer's news will not be wrong." The fat ghost said in a deep voice.

This time, Ta Bayu heard clearly that there should be a person named Qiao Er beside Xue Yingchen as their internal agent, that's why they ambushed here in advance.

What should I do, what if he really comes?
She frowned her pretty eyebrows, tightly clutching the sheath of the dagger in her hand.

After all, she has experienced too little, if only the emperor's brother was here.

brush brush --

In the woods, human footsteps sounded again. The footsteps were very rhythmic, and they should be specially trained people.

The few people hiding in front of the three of Tabayu held their breath at the same time, their eyes were like wild wolves on the grassland, staring at the prey in their eyes.

And Ta Bayu didn't dare to make any noise at this time, because as long as she moved, it might cause Xue Yingchen more trouble.

She doesn't know martial arts, and she doesn't know what his plan is, so she can't go out easily and ruin his plan.

On this point, Ta Ba Yu, like Ta Ba Rui, is more thoughtful. After all, she is not as impulsive as ordinary women.

But all of this had to be based on the premise that Xue Yingchen was not injured.

The person who came was wearing night clothes, so he couldn't see his face clearly, but the fat ghost could feel the aura of the dozen or so people behind him. , Xue Yingchen must be right.

He raised his hand lightly, and all the people behind him disappeared. Their eyes were fixed on a place with a faint light in the woods, as if they were waiting for something.

"Master Hou, if we pass this way, we will definitely be able to pass through the woods and enter the back of Jiugui Village." A person said softly, although the voice was deliberately lowered, it still reached the ears of Fat Gui and the others.

It really was Xue Yingchen!

Surprise appeared in the eyes of several people.

It seems that they will be able to get rid of Xue Yingchen, the great enemy, tonight.

The person who took the lead in front gave an "um" and didn't say anything else, but just beckoned the people behind to go faster.

This forest is not very big, but it is very strange. People in the border city never dare to walk through this forest at night, because this forest has a more eerie and weird name than itself.

Ghost Forest!

The reason why it is called the ghost forest is because there are already many healthy people who passed through this forest at night and either died inexplicably in the forest, or died of illness when they returned home, and their whole bodies rotted to death.

Therefore, the horror of this ghost forest is comparable to that of Jiuguizhai.

"what--"

"Damn, what is this? Ah—"

"No, this—ah—"

One after another ear-piercing screams pierced the night sky, carrying a trace of unspeakable shrillness and gloom.

The fat ghost stood up suddenly, "Successful, send a signal immediately."

The red-spotted man behind him took out a cylindrical thing from his sleeve, folded it with fire, and the thing flew into the sky with a sharp sound.

More and more people began to surround the forest, and Tabayu and Luyi were also surrounded.

"Go and have a look." The fat ghost beckoned several people to cover their mouths and noses with the wet towels they carried with them, and then walked towards the faint light.

Ta Bayu wanted to follow, but was stopped by Lu Yi, "Princess, it's dangerous over there, let's see the situation first."

"But—" Ta Bayu hesitated, those people were so bad, and the people on Xue Yingchen's side screamed so miserable, they must have encountered some accident.

"Marquis Yingwu is so talented that he won't be fooled." Seeing her hesitating, Zi Yi comforted her softly, "Princess, you are a golden branch and jade leaf. What if you are caught by those villains? What will Marquis Yingwu do then? Confess to His Majesty?"

Ta Bayu's eyes were deep, yes, she came to find him, if something happened to her, maybe the emperor's brother would take his anger out on her.

At this moment, she hated her incomparably for not being able to martial arts, and at critical moments, she would always be someone else's burden.

Suddenly there was a more miserable scream from the dark side, and this scream seemed to be the fat ghost from before.

"Do you really think that I will come to this deadly place without any confidence?" Xue Yingchen stared at the fat ghost's ugly face, and said word by word.

The fat ghost looked down at the dagger on his waist, which was obviously poisonous.

"Why, how is it possible?" He stretched out his hand, as if he couldn't believe it was true.

How can it be? !
How could Xue Yingchen know his plan?
Moreover, he is not afraid of the corpse poison in this dead place.

Over the years, people in Nine Ghost Village have killed countless people, and even some perverted people will bring back the people they killed, discard their corpses in a big pit in this forest, and use some unique medicinal materials to detoxify them. It melts and quenches the corpse poison.

And the fat ghost's plan is to lure Xue Yingchen here, let him be poisoned by the corpse and die.

The wet towels they brought earlier were soaked with antidote, so they dared to approach, and it was fortunate that Lu Yi stopped Tabayu, otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Don't move, or don't blame me for being ruthless under the sword." Qing Xiao compared the sword to the neck of the man with red spots on his face, and said coldly: "You are that perverted spotted ghost, it's fine for you to be ugly, He actually went to make good people like you, what a heinous fellow."

For this red-spotted man, Qing Xiao has a lot of resentment, because several brothers he brought were killed by this spotted ghost, so he wanted to kill this guy to avenge his brothers in his dreams.

"Huh, you can kill or cut whatever you want, just hurry up." The spotted ghost obviously didn't think much about why he and others fell for it. Looking at the big pit full of corpse poison and weird and terrifying human bones, he couldn't help but start Doubt the ability of poisonous ghosts.

The poisonous ghost was the maker of this corpse poison, but unfortunately, he died in the hands of Xue Yingchen three days ago.

"It's Qiaoer." A thin man behind the fat ghost suddenly said, his voice was high-pitched, like a woman's.
