Villager of Destiny

Chapter 167 Li Bowen?
Is there really something wrong with him?

Take a gamble?
I hesitated a little.

Now in this situation, I seem to have no other choice, unless I kill all the ghosts here who have turned into humans in my hallucination, and then kill the yellow-skinned mouse and the king Cao...

The other ghosts and yellow-skinned mice are not difficult, but I have no idea about King Cao.

Although he gave me the feeling that he was not as dangerous as I expected.

And since they landed here, Zhang Mingyu and Lin Qingxue have disappeared. I'm not sure if they are safe now, and the change in the face of the wedding dress woman just now seems to indicate a point.

That yellow-skinned mouse might have seen Lin Qingxue already.

Thinking of this, I put down the Earth Immortal Sword.

I decided to take a gamble.

Of course.

Even if I lose the bet, I have the absolute confidence to get out unscathed.

Seeing me put down the fairy sword, Captain Li seemed to be relieved, and with a wave of his hand, the soldiers arrested me.

"Take it out!"

After finishing speaking, Captain Li looked at King Cao.

"General, I'll go down and strictly examine him and find out his background!"

"Thank you Captain Li." Cao Wang nodded slightly.

Upon seeing this, Captain Li greeted the soldiers and walked out of the palace with me. When I got close to the middle-aged man with the mustache, I could clearly see the satisfaction on his face.

He seemed to think he had won.

I was taken all the way outside the palace by those soldiers until I arrived at the stone room I passed by when I first came here. Lieutenant Li asked them to tie me up and then let them leave the stone room.

Only the two of us were left in the stone room.

"Tell me, what do you want to do?" I just looked at him.

After a moment of silence, he looked at me and said, "Have you seen it?"

"See what?" I asked knowingly.

"What I saw before..." Li Xiaowei thought for a moment and said, "It's all the means of that Huang Xian."

"So, what is the purpose of you leading me here from Yinbing Valley?" I looked at him and asked again.

I don't care about other things, because I know in my heart that what I care about the most is his real purpose of getting me here from Yinbing Valley.

This is one of the reasons why I choose to trust him.

Seeing me asking this question, he took a deep breath and said, "Kill King Cao!"

"What?"

I froze for a moment.

He said seriously: "I want to ask you to kill King Cao for me!"

I couldn't help but fell silent, and I was a little confused.

He put in so much effort just to ask me to do such a thing?

"Isn't King Cao your general?" I asked.

He said with a bit of pain on his face: "We have been dead for hundreds of years, but Cao Wang still doesn't believe this, and Huang Xian even deceived Cao Wang with the help of immortality."

"If it goes on like this, many brothers who follow King Cao will end up with their souls scattered."

"We're running out of time."

I was even more confused.

"What do you mean?"

He continued: "King Cao now regards this place as his palace, and with the Huang Xian's troubles, he even thinks that he has returned from the dead and can ascend to the throne of immortality."

"What we did in that valley was ordered by King Cao, and the purpose was to arrest innocent people."

"Then the Yellow Immortal will take his flesh and soul to refine the elixir for King Cao."

"I can't just watch Cao Wang make mistakes again and again."

"King Cao served the country and the people during his lifetime, but now that he is dead, how can he do harm to the common people?"

"I can only……"

"Do that outrageous thing!"

These words made me feel confused, and I just felt a little outrageous.

But one thing I understand is that all of this is the work of that yellow fairy, that is, that yellow mouse. As for the purpose of that yellow mouse, I don't know.

And this Lieutenant Li, that is, the ghost, although he has become a ghost, but with self-awareness, he seems to be different from ordinary ghosts.

So he couldn't stand what Cao Wang and the yellow-skinned mouse did.

I was speechless for a while.

I was also a little puzzled.

I asked: "Then how are you sure that I can kill that Cao Wang?"

Li Xiaowei's eyes were a little more awe-inspiring: "A tall man came here before."

"It was he who told me that if one day, a group of three people, two men and one woman, come here, they can help me."

"When you were approaching the valley, I had already noticed your presence."

"so……"

Senior?

My eyelids twitched.

Could it be Li Bowen again?

"Is that person surnamed Li?" I asked.

Captain Li shook his head: "I don't know."

"Then is he wearing the same clothes as my two companions?"

Lieutenant Li nodded.

"Middle-aged?"

He nodded again.

In all likelihood it was Li Bowen!
I didn't know what to say for a while.

But after confirming that I have a relationship with Li Bowen, I feel a little more at ease.

After thinking for a while, I asked, "Then how do you want me to kill?"

Li Xiaowei thought for a while and said: "What you see now is an illusion created by the magic of Huang Xian. Even if you see King Cao, it is not the real King Cao."

"The real King Cao is still in that coffin?" I asked.

Captain Li nodded slightly.

Only then did I understand why the yellow-skinned mouse would pretend to be Zhang Mingyu to stop me when Lieutenant Li wanted to bring me close to the coffin.

Captain Li continued: "If you want to kill King Cao, you have to kill that Huang Xian first."

"And to kill that Yellow Immortal, one must find his hiding place."

I frowned and asked, "You mean, that mustache isn't that yellow mouse?"

Captain Li shook his head and said, "Yes and no."

"What do you mean?" I was a little confused.

Li Xiaowei explained: "That Huang Xian is very good at disguising, every time he appears, it will not be his real body, even I can't be sure where his real body is."

"So powerful?" I was a little surprised.

Captain Li nodded and said: "And you are able to communicate with me now because of..."

Before Xiaowei Li finished speaking, the scene in front of me changed again.

In front of me, Li Xiaowei's appearance suddenly changed into that ghostly appearance, my scalp felt numb in an instant, and I couldn't help but backed up a few steps, until I realized it, I frowned and looked at him.

Hallucinations go away?
The ghost that Colonel Li turned into nodded slightly, and after making another sound that I couldn't understand, he turned and left the stone room.

At the same time, several Yin soldiers guarded the stone room.

Watching Lieutenant Li leave, I fell into deep thought.

His unfinished half-sentence, if I guessed correctly, should be telling me that all of this was caused by that yellow rat.

But it also gave me a bit of a headache.

If the person Captain Li said was Li Bowen, then Li Bowen deliberately dug such a hole for me to come here, what was he doing?
It can't just be for me to kill a Cao Wang, right?
