Twilight Boundary Chapter 519

Chapter 519 One Hundred Thousand Hungry Ghosts

“Good guy, I didn't even plan to go in, but you smelled me?”

Hu Ma didn't expect that as soon as he came over and walked around, the kid came over. He smiled, took out a piece of blood food from his sleeve, handed it to the lame kid, and said: "Tell him ”

“Be prepared early, the food robbers are coming soon!”

After giving instructions to the lame kid, Hu Ma took long strides, comforted Xiao Hongtang who rolled her eyes on her shoulder, and then walked over the mountains and ridges again.

On the other hand, Yang Gong, the lame kid, stared blankly at the piece of blood food he was holding in his hand. He was completely stunned. He stuffed it into his mouth in one bite, then trembled with happiness and returned to the village happily. .

I felt satisfied for a moment. When I walked past Yang Gong, I didn't even say hello, but Yang Gong stretched out his hand and picked him up. He raised his hand to teach this guy a lesson.

But when he raised his nose, he was suddenly a little surprised: "Blood food?"

"Where did you steal it from? I haven't smelled the smell of blood food for a long time..."

The lame kid was lifted in the air, still beaming with joy, and said: "Master Hu is lucky, Master Hu will make a fortune..."

“Another person raised the flags in their hands and used the name of the Truth Cult to attack the Red Lantern Society's troops. This caused a whole mess.”

In Mingzhou Fucheng, in the government office, some people were sitting together for discussion. However, the hall did not look dignified and solemn, but it looked like a restaurant. The tables were filled with wine and meat, and everyone was eating and munching. Even if it makes me choke, I still force it into my mouth.

"Huh?"

Before, some people would have doubted that the Red Lantern Club would not have the guts, but now, in the full house, no one answered. The fateful general even sneered: "I have long seen that this Red Lantern Queen has no guts at all. shallow."

Hearing this, Yang Gong realized that he was from a poor background and knew the importance of grabbing food. He suddenly looked solemn and took the little kid to discuss important matters with Lao Taishan.

“My brother came here to deliver a letter to me?”

When those nearby heard this, they were all startled. They all stood up and said, "What should we do? Please tell me, General."

“I found the origin of that banner...”

I couldn't see anyone around, but I was even more surprised: "Then why don't you come into the village to come to me for a drink?"

Even the person who came in to report the news first took a look at the meat on the table, swallowed his saliva, and seemed to have forgotten the next words.

“It's just a small case god. The temple has just been built, but look at the incense foundation, it's no worse than a whole palace..."

“She is pretending to be a ghost and showing her weakness, so don't underestimate her!”

Yang Gong was suddenly surprised: "My brother Huma is here?"

The lame kid thought for a moment, then reacted and shouted: "Master Hu said, the food robbers are here, the food robbers are here..."

General Tianming, who was sitting in the middle, picked up a pig's leg on the case and threw it to him. The messenger quickly took it, took a hissing bite, and stuffed it into his arms. Then he said: It's us The seventh altar envoy. "

After hearing this, the people present here stopped even eating wine and meat, and all raised their heads, looking a little shocked. Someone said: "The Qitan envoy is very capable, how can he be harmed so easily?" Is it the red light society that takes action and the thief calls to catch the thief? "

"This man was preaching and asking questions in the Hegouzi Village on the west side. In just half a day, he and his seven congregants were killed with such brutal methods that he didn't even get a message back. ”

General Tianming also remained silent for a long time, but suddenly waved his hand and said, "Just wait, let me go in to ask for an idea, and then I will speak."

With that said, he actually got up and went straight to the inner house, but left behind a house full of people, looking at each other with strange expressions. They paused for a while, but continued to chew without paying attention.

General Tianming went straight into the inner house and came to the upper room door that had been let out by the family members of the government officials. He straightened his clothes, then kowtowed respectfully and said, "Madam..."

Before he could finish speaking, a soft word rang through the door in the inner hall: "Since I promised you, we are husband and wife, why do you need to do this false courtesy again?"

"yes."

General Destiny replied respectfully, stood up, and was about to open the door, but the person inside said: "Just say it outside, I don't like the smell of your body. When will the smell of blood on your body dissipate, we can meet again." !”

General Tianming said: "Yes."

Then he took a step back and said, "I just want to ask, how long do we have to wait when we come to Mingzhou?"

The person in the inner hall said: "As I said before, we came here to meet someone, but now the person we are waiting for has not shown up yet, so we can only wait."

"yes."

The destined general responded, but whispered: "But my 20,000 troops and horses can no longer hold on. They are waiting for us to transport the grain and grass back. Now we can eat big fish and meat here, but I'm afraid there won't be enough food for people there…”

The people in the inner hall fell silent, and after a while they said, "If you can't wait even these few days, how can you possibly achieve anything big?"

General Tianming was speechless, but he did not leave either. The people in the inner hall were silent for a while, then sighed softly and said: "That's all, blood food can't help you, but you can collect food first to go back and alleviate the hunger over there."

"But you also remember, as long as it can alleviate the hunger and panic there, don't bring the Guanzhou style to Mingzhou. There is Laoyin Mountain here, and Zhenshanfu Lord is a kind god, and he has great supernatural powers. , I can't tolerate your behavior.”

General Tianming breathed a sigh of relief and whispered: "I know, thank you very much."

After saying that, he immediately turned around and came out, as if he couldn't control himself if he stayed for a moment longer. When he was far away from the inner hall and before he entered the lobby, several confidants hurriedly wiped their mouths and greeted them. It's out.

They all asked in a low voice: "General, what did the... lady inside say?"

“Heh, let's wait.”

The destiny general sneered and said: "I said it so well at the beginning, but in the end I opened my mouth and kept silent, just waiting. They promised me that batch of blood food a long time ago. It is in the warehouse, but I have to wait for a red light. Will hand it over."

“The food on the ground is within reach, but we are forced to look at it here..."

Hearing this, the protector beside him had a look of worry on his face and said: "General, we can wait here. We have good food and drink, and living there for a hundred years is not enough, but over there at home..."

“Yes, I know.”

The destiny general sighed lowly and said: "It's not that I don't understand. They want to use my hand to force an unknown person to come out, but we have tens of thousands of people waiting for food, so where is the time?" Are you thinking of playing with them in such a small way?"

“Fortunately, she has nodded now, so let's prepare to raise food first!”

“Can you finally raise food?”

Hearing what he said, the two guardians beside him were overjoyed. They rubbed their fists together and seemed to be about to leave immediately.

"oops…"

But at this moment, there was a low cry of panic next to them. The three people turned their heads and looked at the same time, and saw a man with a small hat on his head and an arrogant look falling out from behind a clump of flowers. It was this Mingzhou government office. The little tax collector here has been waiting on them.

Maybe I was eavesdropping just now, but I was frightened by their words.

When General Tianming saw him, he just sneered: "If I had known that you were hiding there just now, since you heard it, you wouldn't have had to repeat it, right?"

The tax collector's face turned pale with fright, and he hurriedly said: "General, I'll forgive you. Everything else is fine, but this area of Mingzhou hasn't collected food for twenty years. I'm going to collect food suddenly. I'm afraid..."

“That's your business.”

General Tianming sneered and said solemnly: "I want not a single grain of the one hundred thousand dans of grain and grass left behind. Give it to me in full."

"Don't be aggrieved. I already know exactly how much rice, grain, livestock, cattle and sheep are in your fields, warehouses, and people's homes. I just want you to raise a hundred thousand dans. What does that mean? event?"

“If you feel that your own manpower is too small and difficult to recruit, that's okay. The manpower I brought is still enough. From tomorrow on, I will follow you to the countryside..."

These words made the little tax collector tremble with fear, and he hurriedly ran back to report it. All the officials in the government office were so frightened that they stumbled over after hearing this: "This... I have been careful about this." Waiting, I'm afraid something like this will happen..."

“In the end, they couldn't help it?”

"Now that our Mingzhou has not strictly collected taxes for twenty years, and with the good weather, it has become so stable. Now that we have to collect these 100,000 dans of grain, doesn't it mean that we have to collect all the arrears for the past twenty years? "

“Miss, the man from the Truth Cult has a huge appetite. You asked him to take only part of it for emergency use, but I'm afraid his appetite won't be full...”

In the inner hall vacated by the government office, there were also people who whispered to persuade the Tianming General after he retreated: "If you accidentally go too far, I'm afraid..."

“I know they are greedy people. Hey, what kind of good thing can they be if they can eat all the people in a city?”

The young lady's voice sounded faintly: "The Meng family said he was some kind of destiny general, but in my eyes, it is better to say he is a personal demon general."

"It's just that since the Meng family and the adults in the family think that he has a good destiny and can attract the attention of noble people, and there are tens of thousands of people waiting for him, then if he succeeds in a big event, he will not stick to trivial matters, so what does it matter how much you tolerate him?"

"This time, he will definitely take advantage of this opportunity to collect grain like crazy, but it doesn't matter. I have already listened to the adults and recite the soul-inducing spell every day, but my cousin still hasn't even shown his face. But they didn't even send anyone to say hello.”

“Since this cousin is so arrogant, what if I put some pressure on him?”

“If even this step can't force him to show up, then if tens of thousands of hungry ghosts from the Truth Sect really want to knock on the door and come to Mingzhou, I would like to see that he still has some toughness..."
