Evil Dao Ghost Confucian Demon Monk

Chapter 20

The people that Old Man Hai brought to the top of the city were all the elites of the Pirates.A large group of people who are used to stealing and stealing have all changed their minds today. They did not act to steal gold, silver and treasures, but to save Shangguan's ugly benefactor.

For such a major event as saving lives, even if it is hastily prepared, Robbery can do it well.

The person who stole the door walked through the streets and alleys, and he had some skills in inquiring about the news.Old man Hai and his party had inquired clearly earlier that there was an opportunity to take advantage of the city defense tonight.

"There is one named Zhang Xiaoliu in my Pirate Gate, and he is on the tower right now." Without waiting for Shangguan Chouchou to ask, Old Man Hai started talking to him.

It turned out that it was the destroying mountain army who came back from the north to hang the little general on the tower.

The Zhongyong Public Destroyer Army and other elite soldiers will be on duty for three days, so it stands to reason that there will be no mistakes.Helplessly, several people in the Destroying Mountain Army came back from the north together with Young Master Ke. They were Young Master Ke's playmates when he was young.This time, they finally left the frontier and returned to Jinxiu City. Everyone wanted to stay in Wenrou Township for a while. How could they have such leisure to guard a dying general.

A group of people agreed to go to the painting boat on the Jinxiu River for a few days, and the boat lady in the painting boat was really charming and heart-warming.The drudgery of guarding people was naturally pushed to the prefect's yamen in Jinxiu City.

The adults of the Jinxiu City Government Office had no choice but to accept this job because they considered the various forces behind the Mountain Destroyer Army.

But the officials of the government office would not go in person, so they arranged the matter to the acting office of Beicheng.

The petty officials of Beicheng's acting yamen couldn't refuse, and nodded their heads to agree, but they wouldn't go in person, and pushed the matter to the managers in the workshop.

The stewards are standing soldiers under the jurisdiction of the Beicheng acting yamen, who specialize in controlling the problems of common people occupying places and selling vegetables in the major vegetable markets in the Beicheng, as well as the problem of blocking the streets in the major streets.

The stewards are not among the officials, nor are they included in the list of servants. They have little power and little salary. They are just a group of temporary servants and assistants.

Mr. Zhongyong's order was repeatedly pushed by his subordinates, and it was pushed to the steward. This was unexpected by Mr. Zhongyong, but it was also what the rescuer Hai Laotou and others could only wish for.This may be a deliberate opening by the heavens to give Shangguan Chouchou a chance to rescue the little general.

Because of the lax control of the stewards, a man named Zhang Xiaoliu among the robbers has long been infiltrated into the stewards team.As soon as the news of the shift change came out, Old Man Hai knew it immediately.

The hawkers at the Beicheng Vegetable Market felt a little different this afternoon. The stewards who usually ate Nakayao disappeared like flies in winter today.

All the stewards in the yamen were sent to the city tower in the afternoon.These stewards, who usually can only show off their might in the Beicheng vegetable market, put on the military uniform of the Destroyer Army for the first time, and everyone happily patrolled back and forth with their stomachs full, and there was an unconscious look on their faces. Qi, although it is fake, but it also let them experience the feeling of a military master.

It's a pity that these stewards are used to idleness, and after half a day, they all become listless.

The stewards are usually good at blackmailing the people, but they don't care much about guarding the sinners.At this time, it was time to go home and sleep with the mother-in-law in their arms, but they stayed here to do this bird's errand, and everyone felt a little sleepy.

Zhang Xiaoliu, who was mixed in with the steward, later spread the news that not all the destroying army had left, but at night it was impossible to tell who was the real destroying army.

Old Man Hai's eyes were sharp, and the lights on the tower were brightly lit. After a quick scan, he could already see that all the patrolling soldiers on the tower were limp and drowsy.

Old man Hai was used to thieves, so he immediately called a group of people to check out the spots first.

Under the signal of old man Hai's gaze, a group of people quickly left the team of old man Hai. They were all ugly, and they were placed in the crowd, and no one would take a second look at them.

They have a title called 'Little Lock', and they are good at stealing skills with their kits.To put it bluntly, it is to steal money bags from people, and the techniques are exquisite: exploring, opening, picking, and pinching, and the characteristic is that it is as light as the wind.Generally, it is not easy to borrow tools. At most, you can clamp small blades or sharp coins on your fingers.

They can be so confident because they have the identity badges of the Mountain Destroyer Army on their bodies, which is precisely the item that the Mountain Destroyer Army will not give to others.

As early as when the destroying mountain army and the guards were changing shifts, the group that received the news first had already started to act.

Li Pi, who Shangguan Chouchou saw at Pirate Gate, was scooping up peanuts in the pan with his hands, was the leader of this gang.Under the guidance of the old drunkard, Li Pi first put his idea on the identity card.

The group of mountain destroyers who took off their military uniforms and were going to play on the Jinxiu River did not know that their actions had already been watched by a group of thieves.They were giggling and swaggering on the road, but they were just a few inconspicuous people, and the moment they passed by them, the tokens in their arms ran to another group of people without anyone noticing.

The little locks moved lightly, but they did not deliberately hide their whereabouts. There were many torches on the top of the city, and several people came at the same time, which immediately attracted the attention of the inspectors on the top of the city. What are you doing?"

Li Pi took out the name tag, and saw a gold-threaded jade carving on it, engraved with the appearance of a mountain-opening great ape ferociously tearing up a mountain, emitting a frightening light under the reflection of the fire, which is the unique symbol of the mountain-destroying army. The ape destroys the mountain".

The steward who asked the question immediately changed his expression, and said gently: "The military master below is the army that destroys mountains."

Li Pi, who had been practicing in front of the frying pan for a few days, also seemed to be a little angry at this time, and scolded: "You are wearing the military uniform of the destroying mountain army, and you don't know your own logo. Never seen you."

The steward shrank back in fright, but reacted immediately, and hurriedly explained: "Master Zhang, I am on duty for Brother Zhang in the Destroying Mountain Army. They have something important to do today, and we will invite the army after the details. Master's colleagues told you, the younger one will come down first to meet you."

After a while, the steward ran out of the door with a few people. When he saw Li Pi and the others, he immediately greeted them with a smile on his face, and said flatteringly: "I was determined to enter the army of destroying mountains since I was a child. Unfortunately, in my previous life The accumulated blessings are so poor that there is no chance, and it is also a small blessing to be able to lead the way for several military masters this time."

There was a nimble steward in the city who immediately thought of reporting to the Mountain Destroying Army on duty, but was stopped by another person walking towards him.

The name of this person is Zhang Xiaoliu, and he is always joking and out of shape. He likes bragging and farting the most. When collecting tips from street vendors, he never rushes forward, and he even laughed at him.

Zhang Xiaoliu said to the guard: "All the military men know, only those people are allowed to go up by themselves, and others are not allowed to enter, otherwise the military will handle things."

The steward had no choice but to say angrily: "Xiao Liu, I really can't see that you are still ahead this time. Did the military master give you any rewards?"

"No fart at all." Zhang Xiaoliu spread his hands and said, "I also thought that the military masters would give rewards to run so fast, but I didn't expect that group of military masters were all iron cocks, and they ran away for nothing."

Hearing Zhang Xiaoliu's words, the steward felt better, and even comforted Zhang Xiaoliu with nice words, but when he was comforting, the steward was so gloating.

But Zhang Xiaoliu was not in the mood to say anything more, he took a cautious look outside, and told the steward to wait on the road with him, not allowing other stewards to pass.

Outside the city, the old man Hai saw that Li Pi and the others had already gone up, so he uttered a shout, took a few people with him, and went out in person. He also entered the city gate quietly without any sound.

Shangguan Chouchou looked around, there were only a few supporters left, and he didn't know what old man Hai was going to do.

In the city gate, Old Man Hai was already dressed as a butler, and the people around him were also dressed as officers and soldiers.

Old man Hai shouted to Li Pi on the top of the wall: "General Li, wait a minute."

Li Pi and the steward turned their heads at the same time, Li Pi saluted immediately, cupped his fists and said, "Ninth Steward, why are you here?"

"Grandpa Guo is busy with military affairs, but before going to bed, he suddenly remembered that the destroying army finally came back, and asked you to do this errand. He was very sorry. He immediately asked the little one to bring good wine to comfort the soldiers, but he didn't know General Li. Also here." Old Man Hai said.

Li Pi cupped his hands and said: "I have a military job that needs to be discussed with the generals of the Destroying Mountain Army."

Old man Hai said: "Since it's military affairs, I won't ask any more questions. General Li, let's have a few cups of wine before discussing matters."

"Military affairs are important, and it won't be too late to drink after we finish our work." Li Pi cupped his hands again to express his gratitude, glanced at the steward who was still smiling charmingly, and shouted: "I still don't want to help Steward Jiu carry it up."

These stewards had seen the third butler in charge of miscellaneous goods in the Duke's Mansion before, but they didn't know that the Duke's Mansion was so rich that there was actually a Ninth Steward, and hurriedly took a few people and trot down to carry the wine.

As soon as he lifted it, the smell of the wine was so strong that he immediately aroused the glutton in his stomach, swallowed his saliva, and cursed inwardly: "You son of a bitch, you knew it wasn't for us, and you asked me to do coolies." But the steward With a respectful expression on his face, he and the other person carefully carried the altar of good wine on their shoulders.

Old Man Hai walked aside and said with a contemptuous smile, "You are the steward of Beicheng."

The steward trembled all over when he heard it, almost smashed the wine jar, and was about to explain in a panic.But old man Hai stopped him and said: "I understand that those soldiers must have asked you to come up to take over the duties. I won't say more. Hold up the wine."

Old man Hai, the Ninth Steward, also showed his aura, walking up with his hands behind his back and his head held high.And the few "officers and soldiers" brought in are naturally guards.

When they came upstairs, "General Li" naturally let the "Nine Butlers" advance, a little humility, and enough drama to make all the stewards believe it was true.

Until Zhang Xiaoliu, who was blocking the way, winked at Old Man Hai, the few people seemed to rush to the room of the destroying mountain army in a hurry.

Opening the door, several sergeants hurriedly raised their heads from the gaming table, looking at Old Man Hai and the others in surprise.After seeing clearly that it was the officer in the uniform of the Destroyer Army, his eyes relaxed, but there was still a questioning in his eyes.

The old man Hai ordered and said to the steward: "Go down, you did a good job tonight, I will tell the higher-ups and give you a good review."

If the steward can get a good review, the year-end reward will be a certainty, and he didn't ask who the "above" that old man Hai mentioned was, the steward immediately squeezed out a flattering smile on his face and said: "I The two are the managers of Team C and Team D under Beicheng's acting yamen, thank you Mr. Guo for your kind words."

Old Man Hai gave a huff with a tense expression.The two hurriedly withdrew respectfully.

Seeing the guard's demeanor, several soldiers of the destroying mountain army already believed that Old Man Hai was also a member of the yamen.

Old man Hai pointed to the wine jar, and said to the officers and men: "Master Fu Yin of my family knows that all the officers and men have worked hard to guard the border, and finally went back to Jinxiu City, and they still have to take care of this drudgery, so I ordered you to send me a jar of good wine. , comfort everyone."

Old man Hai immediately changed from nine housekeepers to Fu Yin's subordinates, but this did not arouse suspicion.Seeing what he said, all the officers and soldiers were relieved of their doubts for a while, and some of them said bluntly: "This prefect of Jinxiu City is really up to the mark."

The soldier at the head was not polite either, he laughed and said: "Mr. Zhang and the others are all out to play because they are the companions of the young master, and they made the old men come to be angry. Since it is Mr. Fuyin's Good intentions, let's open your stomachs and drink." As he spoke, he opened the jar, picked up the tea bowl beside him, poured a bowl first, raised his hands horizontally, and was about to drink it, but his eyes suddenly showed a bit of vigilance, and he looked at Old Man Hai politely. Said: "The old man came to give me wine so late, it should be a bowl in return!"
