Imperial City Investigative Department

Seeing that the voice didn't stop here, he said again: "You have to go to Shuangxi Village, there is still more than half a day to go, I blocked the way, it will be difficult for you to clean up, don't dare to use force, use Using too much force will only cause more rocks to fall, which is very troublesome."

"It's as if you won't come out. If you block the road, I'll wait here. I don't believe you won't come out in your lifetime!" Wu Chen shouted into the air, but he obviously lacked strength.

"It's late at night, it's time for you to rest. Stop, I'll let my people come back, and tomorrow... we'll fight again."

"The living can go back, but the ghosts have to stay. What's the use of keeping them? They have their place to go. If you agree, I will let my people stop. If you don't agree, you will block the road and see if I Can clean up.”

Wu Chen knew that he should fall to the ground at this time, but this was the critical moment. He believed that Xing Yun and the others could kill all the remaining people, but it would take some time, but he did not know more about the ghosts. A good idea, the more people are sent away, the harder it will be for him to persist. If a deal can be reached and only the ghosts are left, he may be able to deal with it before falling to the ground in one go.

"Okay! You tell your people to stop, and I'll tell my people to withdraw." The voice sounded very helpless.

"We have agreed, just for this one chance, if I see the ghost retreating among the crowd, no one will leave!" Wu Chen said this through gritted teeth, his hands already clenched into fists.

But in the eyes of others, Wu Chen was excited by this scene.

The voice first sighed, and then said: "If you are willing to serve me..."

"Get out!" Wu Chen yelled, but he could only say one word.

"Oh, there will always be a hurdle you can't pass. We'll talk about it then. If you ask your people to stop, those hungry ghosts will be left to you."

……

In the middle of the night, a row of ghostly figures walked obediently along the path beside the mountain wall.

Wu Chen watched them walk out for a while. He had no way of confirming whether they were all people. He could only bet that the other party thought he had a way to identify them. As long as the remaining ones were ghosts, Wu Chen was confident that they would all be sent away before they fell to the ground.

As for whether they will go and come back?Wu Chen didn't think so. The opponent suffered heavy losses in this battle, and he didn't know that he had this problem. If he knew, he wouldn't come out to negotiate.

Wu Chen felt that those people had gone far enough, so he looked at the remaining hungry ghosts and asked, "Do you have a way to go back on your own?"

A hungry ghost shook its skull with few hairs and said:

"There is no way. He trained us to be hungry ghosts. We like to eat human flesh and blood. We are still hungry no matter how much we eat. If he could have left us long ago, how could he continue to endure it?"

Only then did Wu Chen realize that it was this 'hungry' and not that 'evil'.

Wu Chen shook his head and said, "Then come closer and I will see you off."

Several hungry ghosts gathered together and did not move.

Wu Chen knew that they were afraid that they would be punished after reaching the speed of light, so he said:

"I really don't know what will happen to you after you return, but you can always get over it if you endure it. No matter what, it is better than surviving such a dark day."

Several hungry ghosts discussed it and floated in front of Wu Chen. Wu Chen asked again: "Do you know who caused you to be like this? Are you from Shuangxi Village?"

"No, we were deceived into coming here. At that time, we were told that there were coolie jobs along the river, and they were given more money than elsewhere. So we came here, but we were brought here and imprisoned in an underground dungeon, where we were starving. When they are about to starve to death, they will throw some food down and we will fight for it..."

"You were all deceived at the same time?"

"Absolutely, but we are not from Yongshan County, and we didn't say we would come here when we first announced it. If we had known we were coming here, we would never have come."

"So you don't know who is in the hands of Shuangxi Village?"

Several hungry ghosts shook their heads.Wu Chen sighed and said, "In the next life, there will be less suffering."

Wu Chen took out the wine flask. There were still a few drops in it. He sprinkled it casually. Several hungry ghosts wailed and then turned into black smoke. The beam flashed and Wu Chen fell down.

……

Xing Yun and Gu You had seen Wu Chen like this, and with Xu Da's explanation, they were not in a hurry. However, the boss and others had never seen him before, and they were so anxious that they almost threw away the torch. Xu Da had to persuade these few people to be quiet. Come down.

The next step was to clean up the battlefield. A lot of people had just been killed by the three of them. They had to throw them off the cliff to make room. Yu Shian had already arrived with five hundred soldiers.

……

When Wu Chen opened his eyes, the sky was already bright. Many of the people's eyes were red from the exertion, and they were all staring at Wu Chen. Only the big head and the five hundred soldiers were sleeping soundly.

"I finally woke up. If you don't wake up, the boss will throw me off the cliff." Xu Da said with a sigh of relief.

"Why?" Wu Chen sat up and looked at the boss and asked.

"Xu Da said that the Lord will wake up in a moment, and he stopped us from touching the Lord..."

"If I can move, what are you going to do? Carry me back to Kyoto for treatment?" Wu Chen asked with a smile.

The boss didn't know what to say and looked at the other brothers anxiously.

"You remember, if I fall in danger, you should save me. If it's like this and I fall, you should do whatever you want. Sooner or later I will wake up on my own."

The boss and others nodded.

Xing Yun yawned and asked, "When will you hit the road?"

Wu Chen looked at Yu Shi'an who looked haggard and said, "Don't worry, you can catch up on your sleep first. Since they are waiting, let them wait a little longer. We can't let them wait for work."

Yu Shi'an breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm really worried that if I'm in such a hurry, I'll be exhausted and delay things by the time we get to Shuangxi Village."

"Don't worry, rest easy. When you need to make a fire, cook. If you want to sleep, you may sleep. You may not be in a hurry today."

Wu Chen said and stood up.

Gu You immediately stood up and asked in a low voice: "Do you want to go take a look first?"

Wu Chen didn't hide anything and said, "How can we succeed if we don't know ourselves and the enemy?"

"I'll go with you!" Gu You said firmly.

Xu Da and Xing Yun also stood up.

Wu Chen snorted and said, "I'll be there by myself in a blink of an eye, and I'll be back in a blink of an eye. If you follow me, I still have to wait for you. It's very troublesome! Besides, I'm going to investigate. Investigation, do you understand? Go quietly and shoot. No!"

"What the hell!" ? It’s unnecessary to worry!”

Gu You frowned and asked, "You won't do it yourself and come back after you're done, right? Then, what's the use of us following?" (End of Chapter)
