I have a book of ghosts and gods

Chapter 317 Show Merit, Disappear (Seeking Subscription Monthly Pass)

After the Chu army retreated, in Wu County, all kinds of ghost howls and fighting sounds continued for three days and three nights before gradually subsiding.

The people of Wu County, who had survived a hundred deaths, had to be appeased by the government's soldiers, and their doors were closed for the past few days.

In the sound of shouting and killing ghosts, trembling.

Until then, there was a little peace.

Those who are daring have already opened the door and went out to inquire.

In the middle of the night, I finally saw an official, walking through the streets and alleys beating gongs, loudly declaring that the disaster was over.

The first thing that sounded was not cheers, but bursts of crying from depression to outburst.

This catastrophe was unbearable for the people of Wu County.

Although the Chu rebels never entered the city.

But the hundreds of thousands of monsters in the city have caused great harm to the people.

The yamen of various departments in Wu County have already tried their best to stop the rebels.

The evil disaster in the city can only be quelled by Su Jingsi's own strength.

The rebels retreated, the evil disaster was over, but the casualties were countless.

The whole city was shrouded in a thick atmosphere of grief.

The official residence of the prefect.

"My lord, the servant has done what you ordered."

In a wing room, an old servant bowed and said.

The room was dark, except for a dim yellow candle jumping in front of the window.

The simple furnishings in the room can be faintly seen.

It's really not like the residence of a prefect of a state.

Before Fan Zhen buried the first case, he held a pen in his hand, his eyes were deep and gloomy.

Hearing this, he came back to his senses and looked up from the case: "Oh? So fast?"

The old servant laughed and said: "Lieutenant Jiang returned to Sujing Division, and cast a cloud of five colors, covering the entire Sujing Division, and countless demons were trapped in it, unable to get out."

"Even the mother of the hundred sons and ghosts was trapped in it and was easily taken down."

"Lieutenant Jiang has [-] Yin soldiers and ghost soldiers under his command. Those monsters can't escape, they can't escape, and they are just lambs to be slaughtered."

"Thousands of demons and ghosts either died under the demon-slaying sword, or were torn apart by ghost soldiers and eaten."

"My lord, the person you sent to wait for an opportunity to help has no chance to make a move."

"Five-Color Smoke..."

Fan Zhen was slightly lost in thought.

He remembered the time when the Yanshan Goddess flooded the city.

Yes, as it should be.

Where is there any hidden fairy?
It is obviously a "big fairy" placed in front of people, but no one recognizes it.

Fan Zhen shook his head, showing a slight self-mockery.

"My lord, this captain Jiang is really a god-man, and at such a young age, according to this old servant, those arrogances in the holy land of the immortal sect can't be compared with him at all."

Fan Zhen frowned slightly upon hearing this.

After thinking about it for a while, he narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "When you quickly hold my warrant and strictly guard the city, the officials and gentry who are with me at the top of the city must not talk about the Yin soldiers and ghost soldiers. Don't blame me for being cruel and cruel."

"Yes, sir."

The old servant was taken aback for a moment, first agreed to the promise, and then said puzzledly: "Master, Jiang Xiaowei guarded Wu County and saved the lives of millions of people. This achievement is comparable to the great achievement of protecting the country and expanding the land. .”

Fan Zhen shook his head: "I'm not trying to hide his credit, but...you pass the order yourself."

The old servant hesitated: "Then..."

The old servant has been with him for many years, and Fan Zhen understands him very well. Seeing his expression, he said: "You just said that Captain Jiang invited the seniors of the master's school, the first rank to be the most holy, and kill the ferocious beasts."

"It is also expected that the enemy will be the first to lead Yuan Qianshan's Bafu army back early, and fight a bloody battle with Chu Ni's army, and finally force the rebels back."

Hearing this, the old servant stopped asking any more questions, turned around and left in a hurry.

Fan Zhen turned his head, looked out the window at the clear night sky, and sighed deeply.

Then he lowered his head, with determination in his eyes, picked up his pen and continued writing.

"... Feeling the wind and clouds, born from astrology, embroidered clothes Lang Su Yao school Wei Jiang Junzhou, civil and military posture, with economic weapons..."

"Self-madness creates disaster, Ou Yu is not at peace, Yun Zhongzhen establishes himself, Ziyi bravely accomplishes the task..."

"Smart and strong, he is a forerunner, retrieving Wu's land is like picking up relics, cutting down the ferocity and viciousness, the merits are saved in the community, and the people are born..."

"I only hope that Your Majesty will grace the country's scholars and reward them for their merits..."

But when it was time for tea, Fan Zhen wrote a long essay on meritorious service.

Drying the ink, pondering for a moment, then said in a low voice to the void in front of the window: "Where is the Catcher of the Wind?"

A breeze caressed gently, but no one was seen or heard.

However, Fan Zhen had already put the written form in his hand and a memorial to the King of Chu's rebellion into the envelope, and said, "Send this written form and memorial to Yujing quickly, and present it to the Golden Palace."

The breeze blew, and the two letters on the case were blown up, and they disappeared into nothingness in an instant.

Fan Zhen was not surprised either.

He got up from the case, walked outside the room, and stood with his hands behind his back, with a heavy worry on his face.

It is no small matter to seal the Yin God.

Now he can only try his best to cover it up.

If the existence of that Emperor Guan was not enough to deter many people, he even wanted to completely erase the existence of Jiang Zhou.

Although the siege of Wujun was lifted, Chu Ni's rebellion was unstoppable.

Most of Nanzhou has fallen.

In a short time, the southern border of Daji might fall into the hands of Chu Ni.

With the importance of Wu Jun, it must be taken from the land.

I only hope that the imperial reinforcements will arrive as soon as possible to stop the rebel army from expanding northward.

……

After the chaos stopped, Jiang Zhou managed to get rid of the enthusiasm of Su Jingsi and other people in the yamen, and dragged his tired body back to Jiangzhai.
"Son!"

The people in his family have already received the letter from the government and greeted him at the door early.

Looking at these familiar faces, Jiang Zhou couldn't help but rejoice.

Fortunately, it's all there.

"You're back."

Chu Huaibi stood in front of the door, smiling like a flower.

Jiang Zhou was in a trance for a moment.

Immediately he laughed.

Really exhausted physically and mentally.

He squeezed the tiger's mouth and regained his spirit.

Facing the daughter of the King of Chu, her expression remained unchanged.

Laugh with other people.

"Son!"

"I heard from the people in the government that this time, you are the son who saved Wu County!"

"That's right! We all know that, if you hadn't displayed your supernatural power, young master, I'm afraid the people in the county would not be able to survive!"

"That's all right now, Wu County is full of people, who doesn't appreciate your son's kindness?"

Entering the house, everyone surrounded Jiang Zhou with the joy of surviving a catastrophe, and the excitement of seeing someone right.

Especially Ji Xuan, Tie Dan and other figures in the world, they are extremely grateful for their original choice.

Jiang Zhou dealt with it patiently.

Looking at the crowd, he thought of Wang Chongguang who was pierced by thousands of arrows and hanged under the city.

Can't help but sigh.

Looking left and right, he was a little puzzled: "Where is Master Shenxiu?"

Nong Qiaoer scrambled and said, "My lord, if it wasn't for Master Shenxiu, we would all have been killed by the demon this time, but he himself was also seriously injured, and was later taken away by a beggar who claimed to be an elder of the sect."

"There's still more!"

"My lord! So the peach tree you planted under the small building in the backyard is a fairy tree! Fortunately, the fairy has appeared, otherwise I will be killed by the demon again!"

Listening to her crisp voice, Jiang Zhou told what happened when he was not around.

It took a long time before I roughly understood it.

Then he dismissed the excited people who left a little later.

Chu Huaibi was left behind.

Jiang Zhou stared at her for a long time. He wanted to ask something, but he didn't know what to say.

Just one question: "You already knew?"

"I know... I don't know..."

Chu Huaibi's smiling face was long gone, replaced by tears all over her face: "I don't know, I really didn't know it would be like this..."

"He is not my father!"

Chu Huaibi's legs softened, she sat on the ground, covered her face and began to cry.

In the past few days, she has seen the turmoil in Wu County.

Although she was protected by everyone, she was not harmed at all, and she did not see the tragedy in the city with her own eyes.

But the cries of the people continued to reach her ears.

Every moment, it was like thousands of poisonous insects biting her heart.

Looking at Chu Huaibi who was crying bitterly, Jiang Zhou sighed inwardly, called out, and called Yue Ya'er and Nong Qiaoer back.

Then he said to her: "Take a good rest first, in a few days, I will send someone to take you back to the fief."

After he finished speaking, he turned and left.

He really didn't know what to say.

Daughter of King Chu...

In the past, this status was high and high, which made people admire and respect him at a distance.
But at this time, especially in Wu County, this identity is a disaster.

Although he didn't think that Chu Huaibi could play any role in the Chu king's rebellion.

However, even so, she is still the daughter of King Chu.

There is no denying this.

Along the way, I saw the tragic scenes in the counties of Nanzhou, and now I saw the mess in Wu County.

Even if he knew that Chu Huaibi was innocent, he couldn't face her as if he had done nothing.

It was his limit not to vent his anger on her.

Back in the small building, Jiang Zhou called out the Ghosts and Gods Catalog...
