Chapter 710: A Chance Encounter

After a day's journey, Song Jianqiu took the Huoyun Ghost Mother and three women to a city.

When she arrived in the city, she dismissed the three women, but as for the Huoyun Ghost Mother, she said that she was unwilling to leave anything, and she had to repay her for saving her life twice and follow her as a maid.

After a stalemate for a while, she thought about it, the strength of the Fire Cloud Ghost Mother is still very good, if Yelian Temple has her joining, her strength will definitely increase greatly, since the latter insists on following, then she should not be too hypocritical.

After figuring it out, she agreed, but the maid or something was forgotten, and letting the busy work in front and behind the Huoyun Ghost Mother take care of her, it was obviously a bit overkill, and besides, she already had the maid Dewdrop, which was enough, so it was okay for the Huoyun Ghost Mother to follow.

However, having said that, the Fire Cloud Ghost Mother still regarded herself as a maid, and after staying in the inn, she began to take care of her.

Seeing this, Song Jianqiu also knew that it was useless to say anything now, so he could only talk about it later, just like Zhu Xinnuo, didn't it change gradually?

When the two entered the city, it was already approaching evening, and after staying in the inn, they washed up a little and delayed, and it was already dark outside.

Pushing open the window, you can see the busy street outside, walking some strange pedestrians, swordsmen with swords, scholars dressed as scholars, men in suits, and women in dresses.

The combination of ancient and modern, blending and converging in the city of the underworld, has formed the current scene.

Maybe one day, there will be a completely modern city in the underworld! After all, this kind of thing is not difficult for people in the underworld.

Standing in front of the window and looking at it for a while, he suddenly heard movement behind him, turned his head to look, and saw that the Fire Cloud Ghost Mother, or rather, Hongyu, walked out of the bathroom, already after taking a bath.

"Ruby, do you know about the recent war in the north?"

Along the way, although Song Jianqiu got a lot of news, most of it was outdated, and now there is still some distance from Nancheng, even if she goes outside to investigate, I am afraid that the news she gets is also outdated, it is better to ask Hongyu, she is the same as Xiaoyaoxian, I hope to wander around, maybe the news I get is still relatively new.

"Know a little." Hongyu sat down on the edge of the bed and said, "However, that was half a month ago. ”

Hearing this, Song Jianqiu was also a little disappointed, but this was also expected, so it quickly calmed down.

"Although the war in the north has won and lost each other, on the whole, it is still the ghost king of Yindu and the ghost king of Nansi who have the upper hand, temporarily resisting the ghost king of Zao in the Beichuan Mountain area."

For this news, Song Jianqiu was a little expected, after all, the Ghost King of the Zangwang was facing the combined army of the Ghost King of the Yin Capital and the Ghost King of Nansi, and the number of troops alone was more than the former, and it was also expected that he could resist it.

It's just that she didn't expect that even the combined forces of the two ghost kings would only resist the Earth Legion of the Ghost King of Zao, instead of directly defeating the Earth Legion, which was a bit unexpected.

Is the alliance of the two ghost kings too weak? Or has the Earth Legion of the Zao Ghost King become stronger?

In fact, think about it, when I was at the gate of the underworld, there was a three-line melee, and there were three ghost king coalition troops on the ground, jointly besieging the earth legion, and they could still resist it, so now there is one less ghost king, and only two ghost king alliance troops can be resisted by the earth army, which can be expected.

The two ghost kings are missing the Biquan ghost king, and the Zao ghost king is missing, what is missing? Missing the Ten Palaces of Yama? Or is it missing Xu Fu?

Song Jianqiu lowered her head and pondered, and Hongyu also sat quietly and didn't say a word.

The latter is a person who doesn't like to talk, and I'm afraid it's even worse than Han Chengyu in this regard, especially since she has always been alone, if no one speaks, I'm afraid she can not say a word for several days.

The two of them sat quietly in the room like this, until Song Jianqiu suddenly came back to his senses and saw Hongyu sitting expressionlessly, without any thoughts because he was in a daze, so he said, "Let's go out for a walk, shall we?" ”

Hearing this, Hongyu hesitated for a moment, as if she wanted to refuse, but then she thought of something, so she spoke, "Okay." ”

Hongyu herself said that she is used to being alone, so Song Jianqiu is ready to correct her habit, even if she can't completely correct it, she can't make her seem too withdrawn, people always have to communicate with others, otherwise after a long time, her personality will become more and more withdrawn.

After deciding on it, the two went out and went out into the street.

Neither of them had any purpose, so they walked casually on the street, and after a while, they came to a square.

There is no green area here, so the whole square, only some sculptures and other things to decorate, many small stalls and vendors do business here, selling some spinning tops, kites, windmills and other things, it looks more like a small market.

Song Jianqiu was bored, bought a small puppet, and was about to go shopping with Hongyu elsewhere, when he suddenly stopped, and looked at the middle-aged man who was standing opposite, also because he saw her, and stopped his steps.

"This world is really small!" Zhuge Xiuwen, or the ghost king of Nansi, showed a smile on his face after seeing Song Jianqiu, and then his eyes fell on the fire cloud ghost mother on the side; That is, Hongyu, but I can't guess it, the two of them are together.

But thinking about it, when she was at the gate of the underworld, the Huoyun Ghost Mother seemed to be with Song Jianqiu and Xiaoyaoxian, and now it is not difficult to understand that she continues to walk together.

Hongyu, like Song Jianqiu, also showed an unexpected expression on her face when she saw the ghost king of Nansi, especially when the other party was dressed at this time, there was no momentum on her body, she was dressed ordinarily, she looked like an ordinary middle-aged person, and she was even more surprised in her heart.

"It seems that the war over there is not tight, otherwise you wouldn't be able to dress up like this and run out and wander around." Song Jianqiu said.

"Haha, it's okay!" Nansi Ghost King smiled: "The overall situation is okay, but you can't take it lightly, after all, the Zangwang Ghost King is the most mysterious and difficult to guess among the four ghost kings, maybe the other party is secretly thinking about some counterattack plan!" ”

Song Jianqiu looked at it and saw that there was a teahouse tavern on the opposite side of the square, so he said, "Let's go sit in the teahouse?" I happened to have something to look for you. ”

"Okay." The Nansi Ghost King did not refuse, so the three of them walked towards the teahouse opposite and found a small box on the third floor, so that no one would disturb the three of them.

After sitting down, Dr. Tea quickly brought the tea up, and the Nansi Ghost King volunteered to make tea, Song Jianqiu and Hongyu did not refuse, but felt that it was a rare thing to be able to drink the tea made by the Nansi Ghost King, one of the four ghost kings.

After the tea was brewed and tasted, Song Jianqiu put down the teacup and asked, "How is the situation?" ”

What he said outside before was naturally a joke, after all, just from the outdated news he learned from Hongyu, he could know that the war in the north was definitely not as easy and simple as it seemed.

"It's stressful."

The Nansi Ghost King sighed and said, "We have all studied each other before, and the Ghost King of Southern Tibet is naturally the same, but now that we really start to do it, we find that our understanding of the Ghost King of Zao is not completely wrong, but there are also many inaccuracies. ”

"However, I don't know if this aspect was hidden by the Zao Ghost King before, or it was caused after that Xu Fu appeared, but no matter what, the current Zao Ghost King is very difficult to deal with, and the Earth Legion under his control has become more difficult, with only the strength of me and the old man Yin, it is difficult to distinguish the victory from him with him, so I can only stalemate."

"It's not going to last long, is it?" Song Jianqiu said.

"Definitely."

The Nansi Ghost King nodded and said, "We all know that there will definitely not be a stalemate for long, and sooner or later one side will launch a more fierce offensive. In the eyes of outsiders, maybe I have a greater advantage with the old man Yin, and the possibility of launching a fierce offensive is higher, but in fact, my own family knows about my own affairs, and I think that most of the people are more likely to launch a counterattack on the side of the Zao Ghost King......"

“…… No, it should be that he will definitely launch an offensive, and when the time comes, I'm afraid that with only me and Old Man Yin's army, we won't be able to resist the Earth Legion. ”

After finishing speaking, the Nansi Ghost King couldn't help but sigh again.

A dignified ghost king, in the eyes of everyone, is a top-notch existence, and the legions under his control are almost invincible, but here, when he talks about the war in the north, he sighs one after another, you can imagine how pessimistic he is about the outcome of this war.

"Isn't there anyone to help?" Song Jianqiu asked, what she said was naturally those family sects.

"Yes, but there's also on the other side." Nansi Ghost King said.

When Song Jianqiu heard this, he frowned slightly, but he also knew that this was a normal thing.

In this world, there is black and white, there is justice and evil, and some people feel that the underworld cannot be ruled by the ghost king of Zao, so they join the ghost king of Nansi and the ghost king of the underworld.

Some people also felt that now was a good opportunity to defect to the strong and gain power and status, so they went to Zao and Oni to join him.

If she hadn't seen Xu Fu, maybe Song Jianqiu would have felt that it was hard to say which side was right and which side was wrong, but after seeing Xu Fu, she knew that it was right to resist the Ghost King of Zao, because behind him was Xu Fu, and once Xu Fu occupied the entire underworld, it would be an absolute disaster for everyone.

This can be seen from the fact that he can unscrupulously use ordinary people as materials and absorb them into Horcruxes.

Xu Fu's ambition is definitely even greater than what he shows now.

"Perhaps, you can ask Sister Su for help?" Song Jianqiu remembered the Biquan Ghost King, who should be able to help.

"Well, I thought so too, so I've already gone to please." Nansi Ghost King said.

"I also have a small number of troops here, maybe I can seconded them to you." Song Jianqiu is naturally talking about the Feixia Army.

"I think it's better for you to keep it." The face of the Nansi Ghost King became serious, and he said, "I have received some news, it is said that some people plan to raise troops from the south and make peace with the Ghost King of Zao. The temple is in the south, so I think you better be careful. ”

Hearing this, Song Jianqiu's heart suddenly became vigilant, if this was the case, then the Feixia Army really couldn't leave Yelian Temple.
