Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Assassin and the Chief
The two women were coming this way, and Ghost Cry didn't know it, maybe he had already guessed it, but he didn't want to think about it.
Now, he is being received by the Miaozhou City Assassin in the inner hall of the state government.
It's not easy to see this assassin, before he came to the state office, there are still two streets away, and the ghost crying was stopped halfway, and his dress made the group of dignitaries nervous.
Then, there was another fight. Ghost Cry didn't want to cause a fight, but helplessly, no one knew his brand, and no one believed him when he said his identity.
So, only to fight.
After beating dozens of people, things got bigger, and the ghost cried and took out the sign, but still no one knew him, but no one dared to underestimate his brand anymore.
So, the brand was sent to Thorn Shi.
The surname of the Thorn is Wu, so it is also called the Wu Thorn History. Wu Tingshi doesn't know this brand, he is a man who doesn't eat fireworks in the world, likes to write poems and paintings, and also likes to dance swords, he is quite upright, and he doesn't accept bribes much, but he has a big problem, he doesn't like to deal with government affairs.
It is precisely because of this that he is not a good official.
So, when he got this brand, he was stunned, because he didn't know it either.
Fortunately, he has a good subordinate, also surnamed Wu, who is his own family, and the current position of chief official is called Wu chief official. The ability to deal with debts is okay, and he is conscientious on weekdays, but the sneaky acceptance of bribes is quite serious, but it is not a problem, as long as it is not discovered.
Chief Wu didn't recognize the sign either, but he remembered where he seemed to have seen it. So, after a while, I rummaged through the cabinets and found a booklet, and I saw the same pattern as this brand inside.
Then, both men were startled and looked at each other.
"Oh my God!" Wu Tingshi exclaimed: "Come on, let's go out to meet the Shushan immortals." ”
The two hurriedly welcomed Ghost Cry in, and then, both of them frowned slightly.
The reason for frowning is that the ghost cry does not conform to the image of the immortals in Shushan in his heart, according to his imagination, the immortals who come down from Shushan should be dressed in white and fluttering, holding a long sword and standing proudly in the world. But the ghost cry is dressed as an ordinary swordsman, and the horse he is leading is tall, but it is too thin.
However, he didn't doubt the identity of Ghost Cry, this brand and Ghost Cry's skills have already explained the problem.
And the other frowned, because the ghost cried with a cold face, and it looked very difficult to deal with, especially the pair of eyes that were revealed after taking off the hat, which made people dare not look directly. When he saw it, his heart was empty.
"I don't know if the immortal chief came to ask for advice. ”
After serving tea and snacks, Wu Chang was waiting on the side, but Wu Tingshi couldn't hold his breath and hurriedly asked.
"It's not very good here, so I'll take a look. Ghost Cry slurred: "I came to see you to understand the surrounding situation." ”
"It's not just bad. Wu Tingshi patted his legs and shouted: "It's just not good, last year and this year's winter, it was too cold, many people were frozen to death, and some of the corpses were corpsed before they had time to be collected, and, in the past, at this time, I would go out of the city to travel around, but now I don't dare to go out." It's the plague again, it's the zombies and monsters that popped up out of nowhere, it's too scary......"
Wu Thorn Shi chattered, but the ghost cried but did not interrupt, these are all very useful news.
"Where there are zombies, where are demons and monsters, you name clearly. ”
As soon as the ghost cried these words, the eyes of Wu Tingshi and Wu Chang Yi lit up at the same time. Listening to the meaning of his words, it seems that he wants to kill demons.
"That's a lot. Wu Tingshi hurriedly said: "There are everywhere outside the city, and there are some in the city." ”
This sentence made the ghost cry frown.
Wu Chang said secretly in his heart that his top boss was no different from an immortal in his usual life, he never asked about money, he only cared about whether he could go out to visit friends, discuss poetry, and visit the great rivers and mountains together.
As for the difficulties in the family, whether there was enough food, and what great things had happened in the city, he did not ask anything.
So the ghost cried and asked him, and he could only be vague, and he didn't know what it was.
Therefore, Chief Wu hurriedly interjected: "The further south you go, the more you have." When a woodcutter passed through Wang Zhipo in the southern suburbs, he saw a large group of zombies and was almost stupid. ”
"Wang Zhipo in the southern suburbs?" the ghost cried and nodded, remembering the place name. Then he continued to ask, "Is there anything else?"
"Of course. Wu Chang continued: "There are water monsters raging on a big river next to Wujia Village in the east, and strange things happened to Jian'er Peak in the west, and many wild beasts escaped from the mountain, and as for the north, it seems that something terrible has happened in Zhangbei County, and many people have fled from there. ”
Speaking of this, Chief Wu couldn't help but be worried: "Now, Miao Zhoucheng is simply embattled, we are trapped in this city and can't move, we must have at least a dozen people to go out of the city, otherwise we don't know how to die." Now that food prices have risen so much that many people can't afford to eat. ”
"It's okay over there in Zhangbei County. Ghost Cry mentioned it in passing, and then asked, "What about the city? Doesn't it mean that there are monsters in the city?"
"The youkai in the castle are fine. Wu Chang said: "Although these monsters eat people, they are also restrained, and in terms of the degree of harm, they are not as good as those bandits." ”
"There are bandits in the city too?" Ghost Cry's brows furrowed more and more, and he was glared at by Ghost Cry, Wu Chang's heart was weak, his legs and stomach trembled, and he hurriedly said: "I didn't run in, this... Well...... this."
At this, he sweated profusely on his forehead.
Ghost Cry looked at him deeply, and had already guessed in his heart how these bandits had come to be.
coincided with the great chaos, and the soldiers did not go out to the streets to maintain order, and those gangsters in the streets and alleys became bold, and some hungry and cold people who were forced to join in, the so-called bandits naturally appeared.
"I don't care about any of this, just tell me what monsters are causing trouble. ”
"Actually, I can't say for sure. Chief Wu scratched his ears and cheeks: "It's a monster crime that is difficult to detect, but some traces are too obvious, and we know that it was a monster who committed the crime." ”
The ghost cried and didn't embarrass him, stood up and said, "So, that's it." ”
Wu Tingshi and Wu Chang hurriedly got up to see each other, and Ghost Cry walked to the door with them, and suddenly stopped and asked, "By the way, how to get to the City God Temple?"
Wu Tingshi and Wu Chang looked at each other, and then Wu Chang said: "It's too remote there, I'll find someone to send the immortal chief there!"
After tossing for a while, the two sent away the ghost crying, and they were relieved and faintly looked forward to it.
Hopefully, this immortal who came down from Shu Mountain really has the ability as the legend.
