Meet the Gentleman

Chapter 312 General Wu
Black fog was rolling in the first city.

There was an extremely cold atmosphere in the air, as if the underworld had descended.

To the north, which is the place of the underworld ghosts, countless ghosts appear; to the south, the evil spirits are madly devouring the ghosts, and seem to have become even more powerful.

"But has it been clarified?"

A cold voice sounded from the northern city wall.

A burly figure wearing black armor with only a pair of cold eyes slowly descended from the sky. Although his body was completely covered by the armor, everyone could feel a terrifying bloody aura.

It's like a blazing fire burning on your body.

"Greetings, General."

At this time, on the city wall, whether it was soldiers or scholars, they all saluted respectfully.

The burly figure neither nodded nor returned the greeting, but just stared coldly at the Yellow Springs Ghost Land, staring at the souls emerging from the darkness.

"Replying to the General, it has not been clarified yet."

A general in armor knelt on one knee and said.

The burly figure still looked coldly at the Yellow Springs Ghost Land, then looked towards the east of the city, and his eyes fell on several literati.

When those scholars were looked at by those cold eyes, they trembled all over.

"You don't know?"

The burly figure stared at the scholars and the aura emanating from his body pressed down on them like a mountain.

"General, we don't know." The scholars couldn't bear it anymore, so they lowered their heads, feeling a little humiliated.

"Humph!"

The tall figure snorted coldly.

"Hmph, what use are you?" the burly figure said coldly, and then walked towards the east of the city. He took a step forward and covered a distance of several miles, and disappeared on the city wall in the blink of an eye.

When the burly figure completely disappeared.

The expressions of those scholars turned somewhat gloomy.

"Don't think that just because the righteous leader died in battle, you, a mere warrior, can become the palace commander?" A scholar snorted coldly, his face full of disdain, "Don't be so wishful thinking."

"Although it is just a small pavilion, it is not appropriate for a mere warrior to take power..." another scholar said in a deep voice, "It is indeed a villain who has succeeded. He thinks that if the righteous leader dies in battle, he can become the commander of the palace?"

The general in armor heard the words of the scholars and his face turned pale, but he couldn't get angry...

I had to grit my teeth and bear it.

Moreover, we cannot tell the general, and it will be useless even if we tell him.

In this Zhou world, warriors are always inferior to scholars. Even someone as strong as Sword Saint Chu Bai has to bow his head in front of the Temple, let alone a mere military general.

A warrior's general.

A very literary person.

There are three cities in the Wanli Changting, namely the First City, the East City and the West City, and the Ghost-Suppressing Hall is set up to command the whole situation. The so-called Hall Commander is the master of the Ghost-Suppressing Hall, that is, the Lord of Great Righteousness.

Under the palace commander, there are three generals, one in charge of each of the three cities.

Under the three generals, there were ten generals, with three generals guarding the East City and the West City, and four generals in the First City to assist the generals in guarding the Wanli Changting.

In addition to the ten generals, the Ghost-Suppressing Hall also has the Chief Secretary, Sima, Gongcao, Canjun, Cangcao, Bingcao, etc.

The three generals are all great sages.

The ten generals are all great scholars.

The general guarding the first city was the leader of the three generals, in charge of the overall situation when the palace commander was away. As for those scholars who were only at the level of civil officials, they were dissatisfied because the general guarding the first city was actually a warrior...

This warrior's surname was Wu, his given name was Gong, and his courtesy name was Zhenyue.

Among warriors, the warrior corresponds to the scholar, the martial master corresponds to the scholar master, the military general corresponds to the literary prime minister, the Marquis of Wu corresponds to the Duke of Wen (the great leader), and the King of Wu corresponds to the King of Wen (the great sage).

Wu Zhenyue is a rare and top-notch martial arts king in the Zhou world.

The reason why a mere warrior was able to surpass the other two great sages and become the leader of the three generals of the Ghost Suppression Hall was because the Righteous Lord promoted him against all odds. And when the Righteous Lord was away, he also pointed out that the Warrior General would be in charge of the overall situation...

This caused many scholars to be dissatisfied, and some even pretended to obey but secretly disobeyed. Just like just now, those scholars had already guessed what caused the ghosts to appear, but they did not mention it.

Moreover, some scholars have already guessed it, but they just didn't say it.

……

In the east of the city, ghost fog is rolling.

One after another, the souls of the dead emerged from the darkness, and the number was so large that Zuo Shaozai was shocked.

Among the Hundred Flowers, he had seen the saint playing the sacred song "Soul Summoning" many times, but never once did it cause such a terrifying celestial phenomenon. He was shocked and confused.

Moreover, he had clearly sealed off the heaven and earth, but the sound of the piano still managed to get out.

How is this going?

At that time, he just thought that it was spread out, and he didn't know that "The Conjuring" attracted countless dead souls in the First City, and even evil spirits came out from the ghost fog.

Ok?
After a while, Zuo Shaozai saw a ghost breaking out from the darkness, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

While playing in Baihua Valley, some dead souls emerged from the darkness.

But no soul can escape the darkness.

As he saw the ghosts breaking free, he immediately realized that something was wrong. Could it be that, as the canonization said, playing the piano in the ghost land of the underworld would cause unknown things to happen?

At this moment, a burly figure appeared silently behind Zuo Shaozai.

It was General Wushang.

In the dark armor that emitted a faint glow, a pair of eyes looked at Feng Qingyan coldly, making it impossible to see his expression. But at this moment, he just looked at him motionlessly, without making a sound or emitting any breath.

Zuo Shaozai didn't feel it because his attention was on Feng Qingyan.

Huh?
At this time, Zuo Shaozai vaguely felt that there seemed to be something behind him.

His heart sank slightly, and the spirit in his palace began to circulate wildly. He suddenly turned around and rushed towards the existence behind him. However, when he saw the burly figure in black armor, he immediately stopped attacking, frowned, and bowed slightly.

But, no sound was made.

The burly figure did not return the greeting, but stared coldly at Feng Qingyan and said, "Why are you playing the sacred song "Soul Summoning"? Do you know what kind of disaster the sacred song "Soul Summoning" has brought to the First City?"

When Zuo Shaozai heard the first sentence, he didn't even bother to answer.

But when he heard the second sentence, his brows suddenly furrowed, and he asked in confusion: "What happened?"

"What's the matter?"

The burly figure snorted coldly and said, "Stop immediately!"

"No!"

Zuo Shaozai said.

"This is an order!"

The burly figure said coldly without even looking at Zuo Shaozai.

Although some of the scholars in Wanli Changting looked down on martial arts, martial arts also looked down on them, and even Zuo Shaozai was not in his eyes.

"Order?"

Zuo Shaozai frowned and said, "General, can you order the canonization?"

"How dare I, a mere warrior, order the canonization of a saint?" The burly figure was silent for a moment, then said coldly, "But I am the general of the Wanli Changting Ghost Suppression Palace. When the palace commander is away, I can take charge of all the affairs of the Wanli Changting..."

"General Wu, do you know why the canonization song "Soul Summoning" was played?"

Zuo Shaozai smiled and did not pay too much attention to General Wu's words.

"I don't need to know."

The burly figure said.
