Chapter 124: Suffering from the Plague
The mayor of Wanzihe Town is named Pusi. At the age of thirty-seven, he received the hereditary position of mayor from his father. He and his family have great power in the town. It is said that they can cover the sky with one hand.
Not an exaggeration.
At this time, he was carefully preparing a banquet to entertain a guest he could not afford to offend.
The guest was stoic, sitting at the table, his eyes scanning the surroundings. Seeing his eyes felt as uncomfortable as being stung by a wasp.
"Sir, I wonder if today's meal is delicious?" Pusi tried to ask with a smile, looking like a bitch.
In the eyes of the plague ghosts, isn't the little mayor of Pusi just a bitch?
"I heard that there is a cooking technique that is widely circulated in Beiting City, but I have never had the chance to try it. Pushi, do you have any cooks here who have learned how to cook?" The skin of the plagued ghost was dark, and there were purple-gray secrets tattooed around his eyes.
, there were still a few drops of wine on his delicate three-chased beard. As soon as he opened his mouth, Pusi's heart trembled.
Pusi hurriedly bowed even lower: "Sir, you know, I rarely go to Beiting City. People from the Duhu Mansion have been investigating me."
"It's boring. There is nothing interesting in this 30,000-mile Western Region." The plague-stricken ghost finally returned his gaze to Pushi, "Let's talk about Wanzihe Town, how are the preparations for this year's annual festival going?
?”
"Sir, Beigui, this year Beiting was plundered by the Chakhtuo army, and our Wanzihe town was also affected," Pusi's voice became smaller and smaller. "This year's annual donation... has only raised half of it.
"
After hearing this, the plague ghost showed a sinister smile on his face: "Half? It's the end of the year, and you said you only raised half? Pusi, don't forget how you got the position of mayor!"
"Lord, the plague-stricken ghost! Most of the wealth in the town has been plundered by Chaktuo's army." Pushi did not dare to look directly at the plague-stricken ghost, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "You are the prince of Chaktuo.
If Ketuo takes it, doesn’t it mean that you have taken it?”
The corners of the plagued ghost's mouth rose slightly, and he no longer paid attention to Pushi, but continued to eat on his own.
In the entire hall, there was only the sound of the plague-stricken ghosts eating meat and drinking wine. Pusi was kneeling on the ground, shaking all over, with cold sweat dripping down his chin and falling on the floor.
For Pusi, this meal was simply a torment. He was waiting for the next step of being attacked by the plague ghost, but he couldn't wait. If he didn't wait, he would have to kneel down.
"When you were busy fawning over my two brothers, didn't you think that I would come again this year?" The plagued ghost seemed to be full. He picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth. He looked very graceful and didn't look at all.
It turns out that he came from a barbaric country like Chakhtu.
"No! Absolutely not! I am only loyal to you. Originally, I had prepared most of the annual contributions, but your two brothers forcibly confiscated them when they crossed the border. I tried to stop them but to no avail," Pushi Man
His face was frightened and he didn't dare to raise his head.
"My two brothers have failed more than succeeded, and have become the butt of jokes in the story of the Empty City Strategy! Huh, what a good opportunity they have wasted. Today, Beiting City has almost been turned into an iron barrel.
All the spies who came in were thrown into disgrace, and they still had the nerve to take away my annual tribute!" The plagued ghost became more and more angry as he spoke, and raised his hand to overturn the wine table.
Pushi silently wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. After hearing the words of the plagued ghost, he knew that he had finally passed the disaster.
"Get up and tell me what's going on with that puff of smoke in Hexi!" The plague-stricken ghost asked while adjusting his clothes.
Pu Si hurriedly got up, then nodded and introduced: "Hexi Burst Smoke is a group of horse thieves with hundreds of people. They set up the hilltop two years ago to rob caravans. Last autumn, they were chased for plundering the food and grass of the border army.
Killed, disappeared for more than half a year, and finally appeared in Huilongpo, Beiting on the third day!"
"I remember that a market has just been formed here in Huilongpo. Many caravans from the Western Regions will rest there. The burst of smoke came to rob the caravans there." The plagued ghost walked in the hall, his face disappeared.
Smile, "I was thinking of fattening up and then swallowing it in one gulp, but I didn't expect that they would beat me to it!"
Pushi didn't say anything anymore, because he knew that the plagued ghost didn't like to be disturbed when he was thinking about things.
It is taboo for Yi Yi Yan to cross the line. If they had just bowed to Gui Yun Pirates and cut flags as soon as they entered Beiting, then Gui Yun Thieves would sit down and chat with Yi Yi Yan, and maybe they would even make a mark.
The sphere of influence was handed over to Bui Yan, but instead of paying homage to the mountain and cutting flags, Bui Yan directly started doing business in Beiting. This was Chi Guoguo's provocation.
"It stands to reason that a puff of smoke can pull up a team of a hundred people. You shouldn't be a person who doesn't understand the rules. After receiving a burst of smoke from him, do you really think that a team of a hundred people can really fight against me, the Ghost Cloud Thief?" The plagued ghost slowly spat out.
After taking a breath, "Pushi, what do you think?"
Pusi immediately replied: "The turmoil in Beiting City has just ended, and the Beiting Army is also in the rest stage after the war, so now is a good time for us Ghost Cloud Pirates to make a lot of money!"
"Beiting is said to have 100,000 soldiers and 50,000 soldiers. Every time we go in and out of Beiting, we need to be careful and plan carefully. Even if Beiting has no time to be distracted this time, we can't be careless."
Like a gangster but more like a counselor, "Call the ghost slave over here, I have something to tell you!"
The ghost slaves are a team of dead warriors trained by ghost cloud thieves. They have had their mouths and tongues cut off since they were young, fed with secret medicine, and trained inhumanely with cruel competition rules. The ghost slaves have no internal energy, and some are just cruel.
With their extreme physical strength, by analogy, they can be regarded as yellow scarf warriors who have no subjective consciousness and only obey the command of their master.
"Yes, respected Lord Suffering from the Plague, I will bring the ghost slave right away," Pushi bowed deeply and then exited the hall.
The plague ghost rubbed his temples, which was his unique movement when he was thinking.
As one of the nine leaders of the Oniyun Pirates, his strength is only ranked at the bottom. It has to be said that a puff of smoke is very attractive to him. If he can get there before the other eight leaders arrive,
If a burst of smoke is defeated and controlled, his reputation and strength will be greatly improved, and at least he can be on par with the "three big ghosts"!
"A team of one hundred horse bandits, who dare to plunder military supplies, must defeat their courage with the force of thunder, and then use force to intimidate them." A plan gradually formed in the mind of the plagued ghost, "We must find a
The guide who is very familiar with the terrain of Huilongpo took advantage of the burst of smoke to rob the merchants and launched the attack when he was in high spirits!"
But where to find such a guide?
It's too difficult... This is something that can only happen but cannot be sought. Let's think of a more practical way...
Should we let the ghost slaves lead the team to kill them head-on?
This is not impossible. The plague ghost can definitely defeat Fu Fuyan head-on, but he can't take him by surprise. This gives Fu Fuyan time to react and escape, so what's the point of being included? He is a pure horse bandit, and his mobility is better than his own.
The team is even stronger.
