The heavy city gate closed behind him.

The horn of desolation sounded again.

The Marquis who greeted Linqiong Ghost King respectfully said amidst the sound of horses' hooves, "Zhou Mu has already set up a banquet in the south tower, waiting for all the strange people."

Linqiong Ghost King asked, "Where is Gui Ji?"

The military marquis replied, "Ghost Ji is at Ximen."

Then he said, "The monsters are coming fiercely, and there are people sitting in the city. The governor of the state is guarding the south gate of Mianzhu, the captain of Qingyi Dong Fu is guarding the north gate of Mianzhu, and Sima Zhao Wei is guarding the east gate of Mianzhu."

When Yu Xian heard the words, he felt quite fortunate.

He and Linqiong Ghost King entered from the east gate, which is the territory guarded by Zhao Wei.

If he meets Liu Yan and Dong Fu, it may not be so easy to fish in troubled waters.

Linqiong Ghost King ignored the state shepherd's banquet, and took Yu Xian to Ximen directly.

Although Mianzhu City is temporarily the administrative center of Yizhou, the area covered by the city is not large, only a few miles in radius.

It was originally a territory of the Cancong Kingdom. During the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, the population multiplied and gradually prospered.

Later Han Gaozu set up Mianzhu County here, which was under Guanghan County.

It's a pity that Mianzhu is located on the edge of the Chengdu Plain. Talents and resources are constantly being attracted by the nearby big cities.

Liu Yan stationed here, firstly because it was very close to Shu County and Qianwei County, which had rebelled before, so it was easy to deter.

The second is because of practical interests. Mianzhu is high in the northwest and low in the southeast. From Mianzhu, intervening in Shu County and Qianwei County is a flat plain. If you attack Mianzhu from Shu County and Qianwei County, you will be trapped by the mountainous terrain.

This has a huge military advantage in the era of cold weapons.

Of course, there is the most important point.

That was when Liu Yan was most successful in the Yizhou army's attack on Hanzhong. Seeing that there was hope for Shangluo, he finally couldn't hold back his excited heart and trembling hands.

Who would have thought that just after the luxurious guard of honor for the Son of Heaven was built, Zhang Lu turned his back on it, completely blocking Liu Yan's way to go north.

After the Shangluo dream was broken, Mianzhu, the emperor's guard of honor with more than a thousand carriages, had become Liu Zhoumu's last thought.

Linqiong Ghost King walked very fast, and in a short time, he had already arrived at the west gate of Mianzhu.

Just as he was about to board the city gate, he heard a gloomy voice asking from above, "Why are you here? What about Baishan Ghost King and the others, why didn't they come together?"

Linqiong Ghost King kept walking, and said slowly, "I'm here to see Wu Yan."

The voice paused, then said calmly, "The three of them are already dead."

Within a few words, Linqiong Ghost King had already arrived at the city gate, and then she asked in a little surprise, "Are you all there?"

Someone sighed and replied, "Han Jia is gone."

Linqiong Ghost King took a closer look, his eyes swept across Bashan Ghost King, Fujie Ghost King, Hechi Ghost King and Ailao Ghost King in turn.

The rest of the crowd crowding around were all disciples of various witch and ghost sects.

They all heard the questions and answers from both sides, and the atmosphere suddenly became dignified.

Baishan, Qingling, Canling, Hanjia.

In just a few days, four of the ten ghost kings in central Sichuan died.

If it weren't for the fact that all the people present were practitioners with firm minds, they would have panicked and acted violently.

At this time, someone asked in a deep voice, "How did Baishan and the others die?"

Linqiong Ghost King replied, "It's a monster called Yeji Daoren. The three of Baishan and the others were killed before they even had a chance to ask for help."

Seeing that there were no outsiders on the tower, Linqiong Ghost King said, and removed the paper money covering Yu Xian's face.

Yu Xian heard "Hey", opened his eyes to look for the sound, but it was Bashan Ghost King winking.

Yu Xian had long since lost heart to this unnatural brother and sister, took a look and ignored them.

The person who asked the question before said decisively, "Impossible, that Taoist pheasant has been near Mianzhu these days."

Linqiong Ghost King has never seen Daoist Yeji with his own eyes, so his previous judgments were all based on what he heard from Yu Xian.

Hearing this, he immediately asked calmly, "How do you know that you are Taoist Yeji?"

Another person continued, "Han Jia was killed by the pheasant Taoist. Gui Ji was the first to notice and rushed to rescue Han Jia, but unfortunately not only failed to save Han Jia, after a lot of fighting, Gui Ji was seriously injured and almost died. Die on the spot."

Linqiong Ghost King nodded and glanced at Yu Xian.

Only then did someone pay attention to Yu Xian.

"Who is this?"

Before Linqiong Ghost King could answer, Bashan Ghost King looked at Yu Xian awkwardly and said with a smile, "This person has nothing to do with you, but a personal grievance that my sister entrusted Linqiong to settle. Just leave it to me."

Yu Xian sneered, ignored Bashan Ghost King's words, and continued to suppress the disease with all his strength.

Linqiong Ghost King was in no hurry to hand over Yu Xian to Bashan Ghost King, she said slowly, "Although I have never seen Taoist Pheasant with my own eyes, this person has dealt with that demon before. Since he has decided to kill Baishan It's Daoist Yeji, maybe there is always something involved."

Linqiong Ghost King said to Bashan Ghost King, "This person is not in a hurry to kill, maybe there is still a use for him."

Bashan Ghost King gave a dry laugh, and muttered uncomfortably, "I didn't mean that at all."

Linqiong Ghost King heard this and ignored it.

She looked at the few remaining ghost kings again, and said forcefully, "We can't sit still, who is in charge now?"

Linqiong Ghost King looked at one person and asked, "Hechi?"

Hechi Ghost King was dressed as a pale scholar.

Hearing Linqiong Ghost King's questioning, he rolled his eyes, his mind wandering, and he didn't say a word.

Linqiong Ghost King raised his eyebrows again, and looked at the other Ghost King, "Is that you in Fu Jie?"

The ghost king of Fujie looked very kind, and smiled casually and waved his hands.

Linqiong Ghost King glanced at a black-faced man, and said in a contemptuous tone, "Ailao? Huh."

The black-faced man's face was a bit ugly, and he said angrily, "What do you mean?"

Linqiong Ghost King didn't ask the second sentence at all, and looked at the fat and greasy Bashan Ghost King.

The Bashan ghost king directly shrank his head to avoid humiliating himself.

Before Linqiong Ghost King could speak, he heard a lazy and indifferent voice from the tower behind him, "I'm just injured, not dead yet!"

Everyone immediately looked for the sound.

However, Gui Ji Wuyan was wearing a loose black robe and a white jade crown, slowly appearing on the observation deck on the second floor of the tower.

Wu Yan's eyes lowered, with a half-smile, "Little Linqiong?"

Linqiong Ghost King originally wanted to gain the command power aggressively, but now he raised his head and stared at Wu Yan for a while, and fell silent.

The four ghost kings lowered their heads and snickered, their eyes quickly exchanged.

Wu Yan was condescending, so she naturally saw Yu Xian in the city.

She chuckled and said lazily, "Isn't this the disobedient little fish?"
