Chapter 538 The Current Situation of Xiangwu

Weizhou, Xiangwu Prefecture.

This important town of the Tang army that used to guard against the Xixia army is now crowded with fleeing people.

The vast majority of the refugees were the Xixia people who crossed the entire Helan Mountains and chose to surrender!

the reason is simple.

Nowadays, the lands of the two states of Xixia have turned into ghosts.

Countless hungry ghosts wreaked havoc, devouring blood and food, leaving nothing but bones wherever they passed.

The Zhenxiangwu Mansion naturally bore the brunt and became the first line of defense against the sneaky eastward advance.

Those hungry ghosts and evil spirits in Xixia, after repeatedly attacking the Tang army's defense lines to no avail, turned to target the millions of people in the remaining states of Xixia. However, the situation in Xiangwu Prefecture is still not optimistic.

"When will reinforcements from North Korea and China arrive?"

Zhong Shidao whispered, his face, which had not rested for several days, was full of exhaustion.

"It should be soon."

Compared to Zhongshi Dao, Xin Qiji's expression was much calmer.

He sighed softly: "There are indeed ghosts and evil things in this world. Fortunately, the warriors can still restrain themselves a little bit, otherwise this world will really become a ghost."

Hearing this, Zhongshi Dao deeply believed in it.

Even so, Xiangwu Mansion, as the front line in facing the sneaky, still made Zhong Shidao and Xin Qiji feel even more pressured.

Even if the blood energy gathered by the soldiers can restrain the sneaks, there are so many sneaks that they can perform some kind of evil technique.

Confusing the minds of mortals is just one of them, and it also has combat power that even innate warriors can hardly resist!

To fight against these evil spirits, it often takes thousands of soldiers to form a military formation to barely be able to contend with a dozen evil spirits.

Although Xiangwu Prefecture was stationed with a total of 120,000 troops from the Liaodong Frontier Army and the Western Army, it was still powerless to resist the sneaky northward advance.

"You and I can only hold on and wait for the imperial court to send reinforcements." Zhong Shidao looked troubled as he spoke.

"By the way, I have ordered people to summon the northwest martial arts sects and ask them to send martial arts masters to help."

oh?

When Master Zhong heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned.

As we all know, the northwest martial arts sect has always kept a distance from military affairs and treated them as if they were incompetent.

Can Xin Qiji really succeed in doing this?

Xin Qiji, who saw what Zhong Shidao was thinking, just smiled faintly.

joke.

Is he really as kind as he seems?

Now that ghosts and evil are raging, how can we allow warriors to stay aloof and watch?

Could it be that his Liaodong Governor's sword was weak?

Just as the two were talking, they suddenly heard a rapid pace.

"Report! Commander Xin, General Zhong, someone is approaching Xiangwu City in a sneaky way!"

Hearing this, their expressions changed slightly.

Didn't expect Sneak to move so fast? !

Looking outside Xiangwu Mansion, countless Xixia people and soldiers who had not yet entered the city were wailing.

Facing the terrifying hungry ghost, just looking at it makes one feel heartbroken.

After a burst of ghostly cries and howls, only the sound of chewing and tearing was left, and hundreds of living people instantly turned into skeletons.

As for these hungry ghosts who had temporarily satisfied their appetites, they continued to march towards Xiangwu City.

The Ghost King has an order, vowing to break through the human city as soon as possible. When we reach the Central Plains, there will be countless flesh and blood to enjoy!

"Fire the arrow!"

Before these hungry ghosts reached the city wall, a general's order sounded.

Whoosh!

Arrows stained with the warrior's blood fell like raindrops!

Zizzi!

The hungry ghost who was shot through the body by the arrow screamed repeatedly, and bursts of black smoke came out of his body.

Not only that!

After this period of exploration, Tang Jun also discovered the key points of these evil ghosts.

Fear of fire, fear of killing soldiers.

In a moment.

The dozen or so hungry ghosts who had been arrogant and causing trouble before turned into smoke and dispersed, and only one escaped by chance.

But before it could run far, a sword shadow fell from the sky and nailed it to the ground, leaving the opponent screaming and his soul flying away.

Lin Chen frowned slightly as he looked at the hungry ghost he killed casually.

Unexpectedly, the Party Hungry Ghosts that spread from Xixia were actually spreading into Li Tang territory.

these days.

He, Li Qiushui, Tong Piaoyun and others rushed around several times to investigate the situation.

During this period, I got a lot of news.

For example, this sudden ghost disaster was actually caused by Li Zunxu, the leader of the Xixia Kingdom.

It's a pity that the other party wanted to borrow the power of the hungry ghost, but he didn't know that he was seeking the skin of a tiger and ended up in a tragic death.

This person even released countless hungry ghosts to sweep the world, which can be said to be a serious crime.

However, now is not the time to denounce Li Zunxu. The top priority is to quickly find a way to deal with it.

According to the news, all these hungry ghosts were released by a ghost king.

If we can kill the ghost king, maybe this ghost trouble can be quelled.

Although, Lin Chen had already discovered the hiding place of the Ghost King.

Moreover, compared to the old Black Mountain demon that Lin Chen had seen in Liaozhai Underworld, the ghost king was really not that big of a deal.

However, there are no less than 40,000 hungry ghosts gathered around the other party, and the entire surrounding area is so full of ghosts that anyone who comes close may die suddenly.

Faced with such a strong ghost spirit, he had no choice but to stop the idea of ​​beheading and chose to leave Xixia with Li Qiushui and Tong Piaoyun, and return to Li Tang first before making any further calculations.

What I didn't expect was.

As soon as they arrived outside Xiangwu Mansion, they saw sporadic ghosts and evil things.

It seems so.

The ghost king was not satisfied with devouring millions of Xixia people, but also coveted the people of Li and Tang.

Seeing this, Lin Chen and the other two did not hide their bodies, but turned into streams of light and flew into the city under the astonished gaze of the soldiers on the wall of Xiangwu Prefecture, and went straight to the government office.

As for Xin Qiji and Zhong Shidao, who had received the news and were planning to come to the top of the city for inspection, they just bumped into Lin Chen.

Xin Qiji had met Lin Chen once in the capital, so the two were naturally familiar with each other.

"But General Lin Chenjia?" Xin Qiji asked subconsciously.

Lin Chen nodded and smiled: "Mr. Jiaxuan, I haven't seen you for a long time. Are you still well?"

"A bucket of rice a day, how is it not good?"

Xin Qiji laughed and joked as a greeting.

"Oh?" Zhong Shidao was also happy to hear this: "It turned out that it was General Yulin in person. I wonder if the two Huaiyang guards have also arrived?"

He learned that the court ordered General Yulin Lin Chenjia to lead the two Huaiyang guards who were temporarily resting in Sichuan and Shu to rush to the northwest.

Lin Chen's expression froze when he heard this.

Fortunately, it was the ghost mask that covered him, so he was not exposed and embarrassed.

Only after asking indirectly did I know that Li Zhao really regarded himself as a firefighter, and he would let himself take on any problem!

Lin Chen, who thought that he would teach this little girl a lesson after returning, nodded calmly.

"The two guards of Huaiyang have not arrived yet, but I have made a major discovery!"

"Oh?"

Xin Qiji and Zhong Shidao looked at each other at the same time, with surprise on their faces.

Lin Chen did not keep them in suspense, and immediately told them about the ghost king.

"So, as long as we work together to kill the ghost king, it is possible to let the hungry ghosts leave the world?" Xin Qiji said with a gleam in his eyes.
