A few days later, a fast horse entered from the south gate of Kyoto and went straight to the palace.
"Yangzhou Prefecture is in danger. Night ghosts are attacking the city. Xiang Ji's rebels have occupied half of Yangzhou Prefecture!"
The war situation in Yangzhou Prefecture spread to Kyoto.
I thought that with Xu Qing and the Northern Border Army, they would be enough to hold a stalemate with Xiang Ji's Tiger Roar Army.
Unexpectedly, the appearance of Night Ghost broke the balance of the battle between the two sides.
Countless night ghosts took advantage of the darkness to swarm into the city and devour the people.
Five cities in Yangzhou Prefecture were slaughtered, leaving only corpses.
Xu Qing led the northern border army to retreat until in front of Yangzhou City.
Just against the night ghosts, more than 10,000 people from the Northern Border Army and the Yangzhou garrison died.
In the Chengming Hall, many ministers were discussing in a hurry.
"Your Majesty, Xu Qing retreated without a fight, causing hundreds of thousands of people in Yangzhou Prefecture to be killed by night ghosts. Please forgive him."
"I agree. The night ghosts are cruel, but the Northern Territory Army was supposed to protect the people, but instead they allowed them to be massacred..."
Jiang Qing snorted coldly and said, "Master Yang, you have never been to Yangzhou Mansion. How do you know that Xu Qing did not protect the people?"
"Besides, the people were massacred by the night ghosts. Shouldn't we swing our swords at the night ghosts? Instead, we should attack Xu Qing and the Northern Army who are fighting against Xiang Ji's rebels?"
Yang Qixiu was originally a censor, not a high official, but an experienced minister.
After studying for a lifetime, I have recognized the dead truth.
"The people were massacred by night ghosts because Xu Qing and the Northern Army's guards were improper. Does Mr. Jiang still want to turn the facts upside down?"
Jiang Qing ignored the other party and said to Xiao Yuande: "Your Majesty, I think that the night ghost attack on the city may be caused by Xiang Ji. Previously, Yu Zhi, the deputy governor of Zuodu, reported two strange mountains in the city. After investigation by the Procuratorate, it was discovered that it was Xiang Ji’s secret experimental site where he used the source of night ghosts to transform creatures into night ghosts.”
"Xiang Ji colluded with the night ghosts and betrayed the human race. Please issue an edict and inform the world. It is related to the safety of the human race. We should unite with Jianghu clans to kill Xiang Ji."
Xiao Yuande looked at Jiang Qing with satisfaction.
What an emperor needs is ministers who can solve problems, not ministers who are conciliatory and accept death.
Twenty years ago, Fan Wenzheng only recognized the laws of Dachu, and even after Xiao Yuande ascended the throne, he refused to give in.
So he spent twenty years wasted in the prison of Dali Temple.
Now Yang Qixiu is much worse than Fan Wenzheng.
Fan Wenzheng purged the court according to the laws of Chu.
What do you think, Yang Qixiu?
Punish Xu Qing and the Northern Border Army, and you will stop Xiang Ji's rebels?
"Jiang Aiqing is right. Immediately draw up an edict and tell the world about Xiang Ji's actions."
Jiang Qing continued: "Your Majesty, Yangzhou Mansion has encountered a great disaster. Both the Northern Border Army and the Yangzhou garrison have suffered losses. Your Majesty, please send troops to Yangzhou Mansion for support."
When Xiao Yuande heard this, he said: "Xu Qing has full authority to handle matters in Yangzhou Prefecture."
"An Moshan of West Mo Prefecture colluded with the Jianghu Sect and established himself as king. I have ordered King Qingcheng to take charge of all matters in West Mo Prefecture. The Ministry of War will prepare grain, grass and weapons to support West Mo Prefecture."
"My dear friends, I believe you have heard the rumors of the thousand-year catastrophe. The night ghost was born, and various visions have verified this. The disaster of Da Chu is not only the rebellious ministers and traitors such as Xiang Ji, but also the night ghost who attempts to occupy the human world. ghost."
"Starting today, the Ghost Hunting Pavilion will be established to kill night ghosts and protect the world."
Xiao Yuande glanced at the eunuch beside him.
The eunuch understood and said, "Xuan Yun Ange comes to the palace."
Who is Yun Ange?
No one has heard of this name, and no one knows the identity of the other party.
I saw a young man in white walking into Chengming Hall.
The young man raised his head slightly, with a smile on his face. He looked approachable, but deep in his eyes there was arrogance and disdain that was difficult to conceal.
Walking up to Chengming Hall, Yun Ange just bowed slightly towards Xiao Yuande.
"I have met His Majesty."
Immediately, someone yelled angrily: "How dare you not kneel down when you see His Majesty. You are contemptuous of Your Majesty!"
Yun Ange smiled faintly and looked at the other party.
The next moment, the man groaned, backed away, and fell on the main hall.
Everyone looked at this arrogant young man in white in horror.
Arrogance and unruliness were written on the young man's face.
Just as the palace guards were about to take action, a pressure suddenly enveloped the hall.
"Opening the Ninth Grade Monument?"
"Where does this boy come from?"
Han Yang, Jiang Qing and others all looked at Yun Ange in surprise.
At such an age, he is already in the realm of the ninth level of the Monument. Such a talent can be described as a monster.
Only Yun Ange said lightly: "The Ghost Hunting Pavilion was established to protect the human world and is not under the jurisdiction of the Great Chu Dynasty. We will not take into account the laws of the Great Chu. As long as anyone colludes with the night ghosts, we would rather kill them by mistake. Don’t let it go.”
"The appearance of the Ghost Hunting Pavilion in front of the world today is just to announce that the safety of the world will be protected by someone. With the Ghost Hunting Pavilion here, aliens will never be allowed to invade."
Yun Ange's eyes passed over the people in Chengming Hall, with contempt, disdain, and some sneers.
"My lords, you don't have to regard me as a colleague. I won't put your lords in my eyes either."
Then, Yun Ange looked at Xiao Yuande who was sitting on the dragon throne and said, "Your Majesty, what you just said was very rash. Please forgive me."
Yun Ange changed the subject and continued: "However, these are also the intentions of the master."
"The Ghost Hunting Pavilion is doing its job. Anyone who obstructs it will be shot without mercy."
Xiao Yuande looked at the arrogant Yun Ange and started talking nonsense.
There was no emotion or joy on his face. He looked at Yun Ange and said calmly: "I hope the Ghost Hunting Pavilion will protect the people of Li in this world!"
"Of course." Yun Ange smiled confidently, "The Ghost Hunting Pavilion is not a waste like His Majesty's."
When the ministers heard this, they all dared to get angry and dare not speak.
He was still lying on the ground, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.
A ghost hunting pavilion appeared out of thin air, adding a few more doubts to the world.
...
A few days later, news from Kyoto reached Qiang City.
"Ghost Hunting Pavilion." Yu Zhi said nonchalantly, "I hope they can pacify the night ghosts."
Qiu Ruoruo received Qiu Jinfeng's letter and said: "I don't think this Ghost Hunting Pavilion is a good thing. Even if the Ghost Hunting Pavilion is to kill night ghosts, that Yun Ange dares to take action in Chengming Palace. It is too outrageous to act like this in front of His Majesty."
Yu Zhi nodded in agreement and said, "Indeed. This person named Yun Ange is a bit arrogant. It's just a word, it's not offensive, and it's not a formality. It's true that he hurts people like this."
Suddenly, Yu Zhi said again: "At a young age, I have the cultivation level of the ninth level of the Monument. Did you start practicing from your mother's womb?"
Yun Ange is only around thirty.
For those who have been able to become a ninth-level expert in Da Chu for thousands of years, those who are extremely talented also need more than fifty years of hard training.
Such as Cang Farewell, Li Haomiao, etc.
Another example is Jian Chi, Cang Huo and others, it took them longer.
To be able to become a strong man of the ninth level before turning 100 years old is already enough talent.
Qiu Ruoruo smiled and said: "If Brother Xiaoyu and Brother Ye reach Yun Ange's age, they will definitely become strong men in the ninth rank of the Open Monument."
"You are quite confident in us." Yu Zhi smiled bitterly.
Anmo Mountain occupied half of the territory of West Mo Prefecture, but Mofeng City could not be attacked for a long time, which also allowed Anmo Mountain to temporarily stop the conquest and recharge its batteries.
Li Qingru also temporarily returned to Qiang City.
While Yu Zhi, Qiu Ruoruo and others were chatting, Li Qingru came over.
"After the war a thousand years ago, all the masters and powerful men in the world exhausted their life sources because of the war. Many people secluded themselves in the world, leaving behind inheritances to prepare for the future a thousand years later."
"The powerful masters of the past established an organization. The inheritance has not been cut off for thousands of years. The people who came out of it are much stronger than the practitioners in the world."
"After Haomiao became a master, he sensed the breath of these hidden powerhouses. Being able to become a master with worldly resources and insights made them find Haomiao specially. Therefore, Haomiao also learned all this."
Yu Zhi thought for a while and asked: "My uncle told me before that he has been following a rule. These rules were set by those people, right?"
"Yes. The rule is that a strong master cannot take action easily or kill wantonly." Li Qingru replied.
She once asked Li Haomiao to kill Xiang Ji and others.
Li Haomiao told Li Qingru this rule.
Yu Zhi asked: "The Ghost Hunting Pavilion is an organization established by those powerful masters thousands of years ago?"
"Maybe." Li Qingru didn't know either. "Even Hao Miao doesn't know their situation very well."
Yu Zhi glanced at Lianyun Mountain in the distance and said: "No matter what, it is a good thing as long as someone stands up to resist the night ghosts. I'm afraid that Xiao Yuande and Xiang Yu will fight against each other and destroy the foundation of the human race first. It’s gone.”
At this time, the internal fighting among the human race is adding fuel to the fire.
Xiang Ji has become the guardian of Gutian Tower. This status destined Xiang Ji to side with the human race.
Yu Zhi was not afraid of Xiang Ji, even though he was already a master of Zhengdao and the guardian of Gutian Tower.
Not long after Yun Ange of the Ghost Hunting Pavilion appeared, people from the Ghost Hunting Pavilion appeared all over the world.
Most of them were traveling in groups of three or two, wearing similar white clothes with a strange pattern embroidered on their chests.
The people in the Ghost Hunting Pavilion have special tracking techniques for detecting the whereabouts of night ghosts, and they have different methods of dealing with night ghosts.
In just a few days, all the night ghost strongholds in Dachu were wiped out.
The bodies of the hunted night ghosts were burned in public, which attracted applause from the people.
The reputation of the Ghost Hunting Pavilion spread vigorously in the hearts of the people. These ghost hunters in white were considered by the people of Dachu to be the saviors of the human race.
At this time, a piece of news reached Qiang City and also reached Yu Zhi's ears.
The little monk Wuhua was hunted down by the people from the Ghost Hunting Pavilion.
At first, Yu Zhi smiled and didn't believe it.
There is nothing to do in the Ghost Hunting Pavilion, so what are you doing chasing a little bald donkey?
He is not a night ghost, and he doesn't have any money on him.
Apart from being a little tender, it has no merits!
But after Qiu Ruoruo confirmed again and again, Yu Zhi had to believe that these idle ghost hunters were really hunting down the little monk Wuhua.
After Yu Zhi learned about it, he rushed towards a place called Ruyi Town alone.
On this trip, Yu Zhi didn’t take anyone with him.
Lianyun Mountain and Qiang City must be guarded, and the men and horses of Wei Wuji and Beidou Camp cannot move.
If Wei Wuji and Beidou Camp were not there, Yu Zhi would not be able to leave Qiang City at ease.
After all, Li Qingru, Qiu Ruoruo, and Yu Lan are all here.
Wuhua is Yu Zhi's friend.
Yu Zhi couldn't ignore it.
However, why do these ghost hunters hunt down the little monk Wuhua?
