However, according to the strength of Emperor Song City, it is still unable to compete with Wushu City, and it is necessary to find helpers.
I soon learned that the Lord of Yin Yang City had been oppressed by the Green Faced Ghost King before, so I quickly thought of an idea.
If I could persuade the Yin Yang Dharma King to send out troops to join me in the crusade against the City of Fusi, wouldn't the probability of victory be greatly increased?
At the same time, if the plan succeeds, it will also be a step towards my goal of uniting the major ghost towns in the underworld.
After making up my mind, I quickly selected a captain named Zheng Che from the ghost army and asked him to go on a mission to Yin Yang City as a representative of Song Emperor City.
However, after Zheng Che left, he stayed for three days, but there was still no reply.
A faint uneasiness arose in my heart. Could it be that something unexpected happened to him on the way?
"probably not,"
The Xudu Ghost General said: "Song Emperor City is only three hundred miles away from Yin Yang City, and Zheng Che is visiting as our envoy from Song Emperor City. There shouldn't be any wild ghosts who dare to attack him."
I asked in confusion: "Even so, why didn't he come back for three days?"
"After all, you also said that Song Emperor City is only a hundred miles away from Yin Yang City. A round trip will take at most two days."
"But it has been three days and three nights now, and Zheng Che seems to have disappeared. There is no news. Isn't this unreasonable?"
"Well..."
Under my questioning, the weak-belly ghost general was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to answer.
At this moment, a ghost soldier suddenly ran in from outside the door and came to me. The ghost soldier knelt down with a pop, his face full of panic.
"Sir, the guards outside the city have just discovered Captain Zheng Che's soul. He, he is dead!"
"What?"
I stood up suddenly, looked at the empty-belly ghost and said sternly: "Bring his soul over here!"
Soon, a soul body was carried over by several ghost soldiers.
Judging from the clothes, these were exactly the clothes Zheng Che wore before leaving, but the soul inside the clothes was too broken to be identified.
After a ghost dies, it usually turns into yin energy and dissipates, but although Zheng Che is dead, his soul has not dissipated, which makes me very puzzled.
At this moment, the weak-belly ghost general suddenly stepped forward and took off a piece of black gauze from Zheng Che's chest.
"This is...Guhunsha!"
I couldn't help but ask: "What is Guhunsha?"
The Xudu Ghost General explained: "The soul-retaining gauze is similar to a bandage from the outside world. It is mainly used for injured ghost soldiers to stabilize their damaged souls."
"but,"
The empty-belly ghost general glanced at Zheng Che's broken soul and said, "Zheng Che's soul has been broken into such a state. Even using the soul-fixing gauze will not help. The other party obviously did this deliberately to destroy his soul." Send the body back."
I quickly asked: "Then you can probably tell where this soul-retaining gauze comes from?"
The empty-belly ghost held the piece of soul-retaining gauze in the palm of his hand. After looking at it carefully for a while, his expression became more solemn.
"The soul-enhancing yarn is generally made of Yin silkworms. Although Yin silkworms exist in the thirty-two ghost cities, the colors of the silk spun out by Yin silkworms in different ghost towns are different."
"Judging from the gray-white color of this Soul-Guarding Yarn, it seems to come from Yin-Yang City!"
Yin Yang City?
My pupils suddenly tightened: "Did people from Yin Yang City kill Zheng Che?"
If the two countries are at war without killing the envoys, even in the ghost city, they cannot kill the representatives sent by the other party to negotiate at will, right?
What's more, there seems to be no conflict between Emperor Song City and Yin Yang City. Why would the other party murder the representatives I sent?
"The Lord of Yin Yang City has always been low-key and cautious, and will not easily conflict with other ghost cities. Now that he suddenly kills our representative, there must be something fishy."
The weak-belly ghost general said in a deep voice.
Regardless of whether there is something fishy or not, the representative I sent died tragically like this, and we must not let it go like this!
If I can't give an explanation to the dead Zheng Che, how will the ghost people in this city treat me?
However, although I am very annoyed, I also know that I cannot directly send troops to attack Yin Yang City because of this.
After all, my overall goal is to unite the major ghost cities to fight against the God of Death. If we start a war with Yin Yang City now, it will be impossible to unite with Yin Cao again in the future.
What's more, the Void Belly Ghost General also said that the Yin Yang Dharma King was cautious and would not kill Zheng Che without any reason. There must be some real reason behind it.
It seems that I can only investigate and find out the truth by going to Yin Yang City in person.
"Brother Xudu, let's go to Yin Yang City together, shall we?"
After pondering for a moment, I spoke directly to the Void Belly Ghost General.
"no problem!"
The Void Belly Ghost General said directly: "It is our duty to seek justice for Zheng Che. We cannot let him die inexplicably like this!"
"good,"
I nodded: "Then let's set off immediately!"
Here in Emperor Song City, the remnants of the Yellow Emperor's Yin Shuai have been wiped out. I don't have to worry about anything. I just arranged for a few captains to be promoted by myself to temporarily manage the affairs of the city.
After that, the Xudugui and I embarked on the journey to Yin Yang City.
There is a distance of more than 300 miles between Emperor Song City and Yin Yang City, and there are various ghosts and ghosts in the middle that appear from time to time.
However, as soon as the Void Belly Ghost and I appeared, those ghosts and ghosts retreated one after another, and no one dared to come close.
After all, one of us is a corpse demon, and the other is a ghost general. Our auras are extremely powerful. Naturally, those lonely ghosts dare not approach us.
After about half a day's journey, a ghost town finally appeared in our sights.
"Brother Corpse Demon, Yin Yang City is ahead."
The weak-belly ghost pointed to the city gate not far away and said to me.
From a distance, the scale of Yin Yang City is indeed small, but there is an endless stream of ghost people coming and going, and it looks a bit prosperous.
You need a ghost citizen certificate to enter and exit Yin Yang City. Fortunately, the ghosts with empty stomachs were prepared in advance, so the two of us successfully passed the ghost soldiers' interrogation and entered Yin Yang City.
In Yin Yang City, there are lights and colorful decorations everywhere, white happy characters are pasted on many buildings, and white lanterns are hung, which looks quite strange.
However, those ghost people have long been accustomed to it, and they are all delighted and look very happy.
"Is there any big shot in Yin Yang City getting married?"
Looking at the happy words posted everywhere, I asked in a low voice.
"I don't know. How about we find an inn and get some news?"
The weak-belly ghost general suggested to me.
Whether it's the Yang world or the underworld, this kind of roadside tavern is always the best choice for gathering information. I nodded in agreement, and then walked into a roadside tavern with many ghost generals.
The inn was already full of guests, all of whom seemed to be discussing the happy events in Yin Yang City.
The Void Belly Ghost and I found a place to sit against the wall and began to listen to the conversations of the guests around us.
