Chapter 47 47. Light Cavalry Shows Off Their Strength
Ghost servants are afraid of fire.
Tonight, it is rainy.
Ghost servants know how to use rainy days to attack, which is a sign of wisdom.
Song Cheng thought of the previous "flower branch" who actually had a favorable impression, and he had a further judgment on the "wisdom of ghost servants": ghost servants can inherit some of the wisdom and memory of the dead.
Da Da Da Da
Horse hooves trample the spring rain.
On the dark street, water splashed between bricks and tiles.
A few red lanterns only illuminated the hurried shadows of horses and the puddles that were crushed like red and silver.
A group of people wore straw hats and raincoats.
The raindrops flew down, splashed and bounced on the dragon beard grass, and then were washed into mist by the speed of the horses.
Everyone held the reins, looked ahead sharply, and galloped in the county town in the night rain, heading north at a high speed.
Before reaching the north gate, they could hear the chaos in the distance.
As they got closer, they saw that the city gate had been knocked open, and ghost servants were pouring in from outside, fighting with the county soldiers inside.
In the dark night, except for the weak illumination of some lanterns, it was impossible to see who was who, especially since the ghost servants were human-skinned ghosts, it was even more difficult to distinguish.
The group could not help but stop.
In the distance,
three or four Jin Realm masters of the government were fighting.
However, the ghost servants were fearless, and the Jin Realm masters, although powerful, were also flesh and blood. If they were hit by swords, they would not only be injured but also their strength would drop greatly. This was far inferior to the automatic protection of the "Form Realm Peak" Gangqi.
Therefore, the Jin Realm masters of the government were all extremely careful.
And many of the other county soldiers and county warriors had already died.
It was extremely rare that they could still be brave and not retreat even though they could not see the number of ghost servants clearly.
Of course, even if they fought to the death, the defeat was already decided. Now they were just relying on the belief that "I can't retreat, there is no place to retreat, and my family is behind me".
In the wind and rain in the distance, there were strange roars, screams, roars, sword sounds, and some angry questions and answers.
"Why hasn't the support come yet?!"
"I really can't stand it!"
"Why are these ghosts so fierce tonight?"
And a rather calm voice suppressed these doubts, and the voice shouted: "Reinforcements are coming soon! I got the news! Soon, soon!!"
In the dark night, nothing can be distinguished, but at least it is enough for everyone to hear this reassuring voice.
The dark lights and chaos made An Chenyu frown.
However, Song Cheng cleared the situation at a glance.
As usual, this group of ghost servants is still mainly composed of ghost servants with a combat power of more than ten, but in addition to three high-level combat powers of more than thirty, there is actually one more than forty.
Fortunately, the upper and lower limits of the ghost servants are the same, otherwise the city gate here would have been broken long ago.
The man who was yelling at this time, saying that there were reinforcements, was an acquaintance.
It was the county lieutenant who came to Ruyi Chamber of Commerce to investigate that day.
Song Cheng also heard many people whisper that the county lieutenant and the county magistrate were all confused officials.
But now it seems that no matter whether they are confused or not, at least they can still be used if something really happens.
In a flash, Song Cheng completed the general analysis. He glanced at Ding Kui and others and said, "Protect the president well, I will go alone."
However, during the battle of the East City Gate, Song Cheng's image in the hearts of Ding Kui and other guards has completely changed, from "Song Brother", "Puppet Son-in-law", etc. to "Real Son-in-law".
No one thought that "An Chenyu married Song Cheng just because Song Cheng liked women, or An Chenyu wanted to find a puppet", because the courage and strength of "one person guarding the city gate" just now had shocked them.
From now on, they only have the same respect as for the eldest lady.
This is exactly what Song Cheng needs.
He wants to transform Ruyi Chamber of Commerce into a "home suitable for him to live in for a long time", not "he has to bow his head, imitate a character called Crooked Mouth Dragon King in his previous life to admit his weakness, and then be a pig to eat the tiger, obviously he has power, but he is not willing to show it at all, and then blame others for not recognizing Taishan".
He wants to live.
Ding Kui and the guards hurriedly said: "Don't worry, we will protect the eldest lady!"
Song Cheng nodded, unsheathed the scimitar, shook off the raindrops, raised his legs, and flew into the air from the horse's back. After landing, he swept forward like a gust of wind, shouting: "Reinforcements are coming!"
The four words exploded in the night, like thunder igniting the hearts of the county soldiers who were struggling to resist.
The county lieutenant was also shocked and turned back in shock.
But he saw a figure rushing into the group of ghost servants like a whirlwind of lightning.
Song Cheng's knife was as sharp as a willow, and the knife flashed as his arms stretched out.
Every move was completely in the scope of "Fu Liu Jin".
As soon as he entered the group of ghost servants, two ghost servants with skins were cut into two pieces, making a sharp sound and then dissipated.
The county lieutenant vaguely recognized that this was the Fu Liu Jin of Ruyi Chamber of Commerce, but he couldn't guess who it was for a while.
The situation was urgent, so he didn't ask more questions, but just shouted at the top of his voice: "Reinforcements are coming! Force these ghosts out of the city!"
Song Cheng shuttled around, and the knife flashed.
With one slash, a ghost servant with a combat power of more than 30 was picked up.
With one stab, the ghost servant with a combat power of more than 40 was pierced.
The official Jin realm master who was struggling to support it before suddenly felt less pressure, and came back to help other county soldiers.
In this way, within the time of an incense stick, all the ghost servants were killed, and the gate of the North City was closed again.
Song Cheng's arms were numb, and he looked at the thin knife again.
As expected of a knife made by a master of the royal family, it seems to be OK, and there is no crack.
You know, although those ghost servants are ghosts with human skin, they are all as strong as copper skin and iron bones.
In the distance, the county lieutenant called for defense while walking forward quickly, with rain mixed with black hair sticking to his face.
"Thank you!"
The county lieutenant clasped his fists, first thanked, and then said, "Who is it from Ruyi Chamber of Commerce?"
Song Cheng smiled and said, "Ouyang County Lieutenant, we meet again."
The fat county lieutenant was stunned, leaned over and squinted for a long time, but it was dark and rainy, and he couldn't see who it was.
He wiped his face awkwardly.
Damn, it's too embarrassing.
However, Ouyang County Lieutenant's reaction was still very fast. He immediately smiled and said, "Yes, I hit it off with you last time, and it's a blessing to see you again today. When the sky is clear and the city is empty, I will definitely come to thank you!"
Song Cheng: ? ? ?
What do you mean?
Brother? We hit it off at first sight?
Ouyang Pang County Lieutenant clasped his fists again and hurried away.
He couldn't say he didn't recognize who this expert was, could he?
Who doesn't want to save face in the underworld?
If someone comes to help you turn the tide and says "nice to meet again", but you don't know who the other person is, this won't do, it will offend people.
The thought flashed through his mind, and was immediately overshadowed by the affairs in front of him.
Ouyang Pang County Lieutenant quickly arranged personnel to guard the city, and then took a Jin Realm expert and four Li Realm warriors to the West Gate.
The West Gate is where the county magistrate guards.
Ouyang Pang County Lieutenant actually guessed that the reinforcements from the West Gate failed to come, and most likely they encountered the same fierce attack. Now that this side is stable, he naturally has to go to support it.
As for the South Gate, there are many martial arts halls and small gangs in the South City, plus the county soldiers and county braves who assist in defense, it should be the most stable.
Song Cheng also dragged his tired body back.
The guards of Ruyi Chamber of Commerce have turned into licking dogs.
"Son-in-law, it's fierce."
"Son-in-law, why is your Fuliu Jin so good?"
"Son-in-law, your Jin method, I'm afraid it can be compared with Mr. Wang of our Chamber of Commerce."
Mr. Wang?
Song Cheng was stunned.
The guards talked to themselves, but An Chenyu said: "It's Uncle Wang who is in the old house in Fucheng, and the father of the Wang brothers. He, like you, has read "Jue Jin". Now he is practicing hard in his old house in Fucheng, and he should be perfect."
Song Cheng nodded and waved his hand and said: "Brother Ding, don't talk nonsense, I'm just a rookie, and I'm still far behind Mr. Wang."
As soon as the words came out, several guards felt that the son-in-law was still the same as before, very easy-going, and they were ready to have a good impression in their hearts.
An Chenyu turned over and dismounted, approached Song Cheng, pulled his hand, looked at him, and said, "Are you still going to Xicheng?"
Song Cheng said, "Yes."
"Then you have to listen to me." An Chenyu said softly, "After you go, don't rush to act. You have killed enough tonight.
And you are already tired, I am afraid you will fail.
Our role is to add an extra layer of protection. If the West City Gate is really about to collapse completely, then we will take action.
In the meantime, you will at least have time to rest for a while.
If the situation is not good after taking action, we should not hold on, but escape and wait until we have recovered our strength."
Song Cheng nodded.
He had to admit that Sister An was really good at making arrangements and handling situations. She would always think of the next related event and propose her own way of handling it when an event was over and others were still immersed in it.
She had a very active mind.
The group calmed down a little and rode west again.
As a result, Xicheng was indeed in chaos.
However, the county soldiers and the county magistrate who was guarding the city were not pushovers. They withstood waves of ghost servants charging the city.
Under the old tree in the rain, An Chenyu looked at all this and said, "Let's go around the south city and then go back. We can make it tonight."
The group did not show up either. They made a detour and turned around. When they returned to the east city, the rain had stopped. The gray sky indicated that dawn was likely to come.
When they returned to Ruyi Chamber of Commerce, there was already some smoke in the dining hall.
An Chenyu took off her straw raincoat, and her hair was a mess. She casually pushed it aside and let it fall on her shoulders, which was very much like an ink beauty.
"Xiao Song, have breakfast before going to bed."
She smiled.
Song Cheng suddenly remembered the scene of "having breakfast with friends after staying up all night in the Internet cafe" before he traveled through time. A touch of warmth emerged in his heart, so he smiled and responded, "Okay, let's eat together."
