Not long after the screams began, Hu Gui walked over with a smile on his face, "I only killed one, and I will take care of the rest. Although these beasts kill without hesitation, they are all cowards."
Wandong hummed and asked, "What did you tell me?"
Hu Gui looked serious and said, "The total number of ghost forbidden troops is about two thousand. They were all carefully selected by Xue Dongfeng from his army, and then underwent rigorous training. They are very brave."
"There are only two thousand people?" Wan Dong frowned slightly, but he soon felt relieved. What the Ghost Imperial Army does are all shameful things. There are too many people and the target is too big to hide. On the contrary, only with a small number of capable people can they truly come and go without a trace.
In addition, most of the Ghost Imperial Army targets ordinary civilians, so there is no need for many troops!
Hu Gui nodded and said, "That's right! Xue Dongfeng only has a total of 200,000 troops under his command, and the two thousand people he carefully selected must not only be outstanding, but also ensure absolute loyalty to him, and they must also not It’s not easy to arouse others’ suspicion.”
"Where are these two thousand ghost imperial troops stationed?"
"They are stationed in a mountain on the western outskirts of Shenlei City. I have obtained the route map and their defense plans from the leaders!"
Hu Gui was very careful and considerate in his work, saving Wan Dong a lot of trouble.
"Okay! I want these two thousand people to be wiped out before dark!"
Hu Gui seemed to be eager for this. As soon as Wandong finished speaking, he puffed up his chest and said in his voice full of excitement, "Don't worry, City Lord, I will go and kill these bastards!"
Wandong shook his head and said, "Don't go, just let Wei Tong go."
"Why?" Hu Gui was a little disappointed. Suppressing the Phantom Forbidden Army was not only a meritorious service, but also a great deed to accumulate virtue! No matter where you go, as long as you say that the Ghost Imperial Army was wiped out by you, you will immediately win everyone's respect and even gratitude!
Hu Gui has been a servant for so many years. Wherever he goes, there are people who are either afraid of him, hate him, or despise him. It seems that no one has expressed respect and gratitude to him. Hu Gui really wanted to change his past image by destroying the Phantom Forbidden Army.
Wan Dong smiled and said, "I won't let you go because I have more important things to do for you! Although Xue Dongfeng is dead, the 200,000 troops under his command cannot be left without someone to command them. I want Go and take back Xue Dongfeng's military power and control the 200,000 troops! Haha... Hu Gui, do you have the courage?"
Hu Gui's heart was really beating. Xue Dongfeng has controlled the 200,000-strong city-protecting army of Shenlei City for at least more than ten years. I dare not say that the entire army is managed by him monolithically, but many of them have received favors from Xue Dongfeng, and they are very important to him. There will never be any loyal ones. It would be very dangerous for Hu Gui to go deep into the camp of these 200,000 troops and receive them. As long as one is not careful, I am afraid he will be chopped into meat paste.
"Lord City Lord, why don't you take action yourself? With your methods, it's easy to do it without any effort!" Hu Gui looked up at Wandong and said sincerely.
Wandong chuckled lightly and said, "I can go in person, but in this case, you will lose an excellent opportunity."
Wandong didn't say clearly what the opportunity was, and there was no need to say it. With Hu Gui's mind, he could figure it out. His expression suddenly became excited, and the worry and fear that originally showed on his face disappeared without a trace in an instant.
"Don't worry, City Lord, Hu Gui will never let you down! Just wait for my good news!"
Seeing that Hu Gui showed his courage, Wan Dong smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay! Those Xue Dongfeng's guards, please let them go with you. Just say, I will give them a chance to atone for their sins."
"Yes! Thank you, Lord City Lord!"
After hearing what Wandong said, Hu Gui's confidence became even stronger. With these experts accompanying us, even if something unexpected happens, we can still fight our way out of the military camp without risking our lives. Wandong said he was giving them a chance to atone, but in fact he was trying to get them to protect Hu Gui. Hu Gui also figured out this thought and was very moved.
Hu Gui and Wei Tong each led their troops and galloped away in two directions. In just one night, the situation in the entire Divine Thunder City has undergone earth-shaking changes!
In the evening, Hu Gui and Wei Tong returned to the city lord's mansion at the same time, as if they had agreed. Seeing the smiles on their faces, Wandong knew that both of them should have done well in their errands.
"Lord City Lord, these are the lieutenants and generals of the city defense army. I have brought them all!" After saying that, Hu Gui glared angrily at the men in armor following him and said nothing. He scolded him rudely, "Are you stupid? Why don't you kneel down when you see the Lord of the City?"
I don't know what kind of methods Hu Gui used, but these people looked at him with a bit of fear. Upon hearing this, they all knelt down and praised him in unison.
Wan Dong waved his hand, exempting them from the etiquette, looked at Hu Gui, and asked with a smile, "How many people have been killed?"
Hu Gui licked his lips and said, "Kill three to five hundred!"
"Haha... Hu Gui, you are so cruel!" Although Wandong knew that it would be impossible for Hu Gui to go without killing people, he never expected that this boy would kill three to five hundred people in one kill.
Hu Gui snorted and said, "They are all stubborn bastards! I have told them that Xue Dongfeng is the mastermind behind the Ghost Forbidden Army. His hands are stained with the blood of innocent people. Following him is tantamount to siding with the tiger. But Those people were still stubborn and even shouted that they wanted to kill the city lord to avenge the traitor Xue Dongfeng! I was angry and killed them all, leaving no one alive! "
Wandong originally had no intention of blaming Hu Gui. He nodded and turned his attention to the lieutenants and generals. He said in a deep voice, "What about you, what do you think?"
"Lord City Lord, we are soldiers, and it is our duty to obey orders! Since you are the Lord of Divine Thunder City, we should obey your orders and think of nothing else!" One of the men dressed as a general said, He straightened his body and said loudly.
The others responded one after another!
Wandong nodded, very satisfied!
"Okay! After you go back, restrain the soldiers under your command and practice diligently. When General Ma Yunliangma comes back, you will be under his command for the time being. Get down!"
"Yes!" Several generals responded in unison, turned and retreated.
Wan Dong glanced at Hu Gui and said with a smile, "Hu Gui, you did a great job on this matter! Look, how about I let you replace Xue Dongfeng and be the commander-in-chief of Divine Thunder City?"
"Commander!?" As soon as Wandong finished speaking, Hu Gui's eyes suddenly flashed with an extremely excited light, and even his body began to tremble slightly.
From a small commander, to suddenly being promoted to the rank of general soldier, this is simply the perfect interpretation of rising to the top in one step! It would be weird if Hu Gui wasn't excited.
However, Hu Gui's excitement did not last long and he quickly calmed down. After frowning and pondering for a moment, Hu Gui shook his head and said, "Mr. City Lord, thank you for your trust and love. It's okay for me to just run errands and do some trivial things for you, but I really can't take on the role of commander-in-chief." Come on. General Ma Yunliangma is the real suitable candidate for the commander-in-chief!"
"Do you really think so?" Wan Dong looked at Hu Gui seriously and asked.
Hu Gui nodded heavily, without any hesitation in his expression.
"Okay! The fact that you think so proves that you are indeed a talented person!"
When Wandong said this, Hu Gui was excited for a while, and then broke into a cold sweat. Daqing Wandong asked him to be the commander-in-chief, the whole thing was a test for him. If he had just spoken so brazenly and shamelessly agreed to be the commander-in-chief, would he still have been praised like Wandong
At this time Wandong has set his sights on Wei Tong.
Before Wan Dong could ask, Wei Tong immediately replied, "Report to the city lord, two thousand ghost forbidden troops, one or more, all were killed in the mountains of the western suburbs!"
"Well! What are the casualties of our army?" Wandong asked.
"Dozens of people were injured, but not a single one died!"
"What?" Wandong was slightly surprised.
An army of ten thousand surrounded and suppressed two thousand Ghost Forbidden Army. No matter how elite the Ghost Forbidden Army was, it would only be destroyed. Wan Dong was not surprised at all. However, the army led by Wei Tong could only be injured but not killed. This is Wandong was a little surprised.
Seeing Wandong's eyes full of questions, Wei Tong scratched his head and said, "When we were interrogating the leaders of the Ghost Imperial Army, we found Xue Dongfeng's tokens from them. Then I They also found the uniforms of the Ghost Forbidden Army in their homes, and then sent people to pretend to be them, and led the Ghost Forbidden Army out of the station in batches. Finally, they gathered all the troops and annihilated them, but after a lot of effort, the casualties were reduced! reduced to a minimum.”
"So that's it! Hahaha... Wei Tong, you can do it!" Wan Dong gave Wei Tong a thumbs up without hesitation.
Previously, he had focused all his attention on Hu Gui, but not too much on Wei Tong, almost burying his talent. With Wei Tong's brain, if he were given some training by Luo Xiao, I'm afraid his future achievements might not be as good as Hu Gui's.
Hearing Wandong praise Wei Tong, Hu Gui also laughed, patted Wei Tong on the shoulder and said, "Old Wei has always been my good partner and my strategist. I have always received his guidance!"
Wandong nodded and said, "You two have made great achievements today, and I will definitely reward you heavily!"
"Thank you, City Lord!" Hu Gui and Wei Tong immediately bowed to express their thanks.
Wan Dong hummed and said, "There is only one thing left now. I want you to make the relationship between Xue Dongfeng and the Ghost Forbidden Army, as well as the fact that Xue Dongfeng murdered the Lord of Chu City, all known to the public. So that everyone can Knowing Xue Dongfeng’s ugly face! In addition, cut off Xue Dongfeng’s head and send it to Lord Chu’s tomb to pay homage to Lord Chu!”
"Yes!" Wandong's words touched the hearts of Hu Gui and Wei Tong, and they both responded in unison! (To be continued)
