Chapter 771: Listening to Ah Yu
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Jiangsai City was nominally under the Great Chang. Located behind a hundred miles of desert, it bordered the land of the West Wind Kingdom.
This place was originally intended as a border fortress. It had once been established as a governor-general’s residence who ruled this place all year round.
Later on, the Protectorate General of Jiangsai colluded with the bandits, causing resentment among the people. There was small-scale unrest in Jiangsai.
“Later on, there were more horse bandits here than the commoners. The officials were either reduced to horse bandits or killed by the horse bandits. The good and bad mixed together.” Wang Wulang told everyone the news he had gone out to inquire about in a low voice. “Now, the people in Jiangsai City are basically all untrustworthy.”
The girl only told them a place where they could hear some news of doubtful origins and they left the inn. Wang Wulang paired his sword and a few hard steamed buns to pry open some people’s mouths. When they returned, everyone gathered together and roughly figured out the situation.
Ah Yu: “That Little Sister mentioned someone. She said that it was an official who came some time ago and was hung on the city gate.”
“Oh, Jiangsai City isn’t very big, but there are eight city gates. Other than the one we came from, 1 went to take a look. The other seven city gates are all decorated with human heads, and some are relatively fresh. It’s said that the bodies were originally strung up in an intact manner, but after a long time, some of their lower bodies fell off, and some were used as shooting targets by others.”
At this point, Wang Wulang stopped talking, afraid that All Yu would feel disgusted.
Ah Yu couldn’t care less about whether it was disgusting or not. She only asked, “Did you see Uncle Ah Shu?”
It took Wang Wulang a long time to remember that Ah Yu addressed King Xiaoyao as Uncle Ah Shu.
He shook his head. “1 didn’t see him. He’s a prince after all. It’s impossible for him to be so lousy, right? You suspect that the official who was hung up was him? That’s unlikely.”
Beside him, Chi Gou also said, “King Xiaoyao is a very shrewd person. In the past, there were rumors of the Three Ghost Kings of Wanning City. King Xiaoyao was one of them.”
“The Three Ghost Kings?” All Yu had never heard of such a rumor and was a little curious. “Which three ghosts are they?”
“I know, I know. They’re talking about the King of Hell, which is King Xiaoyao. The other is the Midnight Soul-Reaper King, a formidable general skilled in night raids. He guards the Hometown Pass as a permanent official, and people say the Hometown Pass he guards leads straight to the underworld’s Hometown Platform. If enemies want to pass through, they’ll end up in heli. There’s also someone known as the Little Ghost King, 1 don’t know his name, but 1 only know he’s young and bloodthirsty. Those who offended him are all dead.”
At the mention of the last one, Wang Wulang chuckled. “He’s probably just there to make up the numbers. What can a brat do?”
Chi Tu, Chi Ding, and Chi Gou all pretended to look at the sky.
“I’ve indeed never heard of it before, but in that case, Uncle Ah Shu definitely won’t be among them. I just don’t know who the dead official is. He’s my colleague after all. 1 have to go and take a look.”
Everyone was actually more worried that Jiangsai was a mixed place. It was not a good place to study peacefully.
However, Ah Yu said, “Don’t worry. Grandma, the Empress Dowager, and the others are not worried that the few of us came over. This means that they all trust me very much. You must also have some confidence in me. i’ll protect you well.”
[Don’t worry, kid. I’ll buy you all the buffs to stack on yourself. As long as you don’t die in one strike and turn to ashes, you can still be saved.]
Ah Yu was sometimes impulsive, but she would not implicate others, so she naturally would not act rashly.
“All Yu, what should we do now?” As soon as he saw his sister, Wang Wulang seemed to have a backbone and subconsciously listened to her.
Didn’t they see how he and Chi Gou had walked in that damned catacomb for a few months without walking out? Even finding that catacomb took them more than two months.
In the end, not only did Ah Yu and the others arrive in a day, but they also brought them out.
She even took away a precious Heavenly Mystic Bow.
Wang Wulang felt that the cavern that contained green grass was not ordinary. Perhaps they would have to go back there in the future.
While he was thinking, Ah Yu had already arranged tasks for everyone. Then, she clapped her hands. “Let’s go.”
“Where are we going?” Wang Wulang had yet to hear the plan.
Ah Yu pulled the string of the Heavenly Mystic Bow in her hand. “Let’s look for the City Lord first before opening a meat bun shop.”
Wang Wulang”???”
