Chapter 69 Tips
"Mom, what is this?"

The skinny man, who looked like a monkey, was lying on the ground, squinting his eyes and looking into the distance. Behind him, a hemp rope was tied to a dead tree, and a horse was tied to the end of the rope.

The horse was grinding its hooves in place, as if trying to find something to eat. However, after circling twice, it found nothing and could only gnaw on the bark of the dead tree in silence.

This man is King Kang's scout and one of the hardest-working people in Xuzhou City.

Everyone else can drink and have fun in the city, and even the soldiers standing on the city walls have good wine and meat for three meals. Only this group of scouts have nothing to do and need to go out for a run, take a look at the general situation in Xuzhou, and then go back to report to King Kang.

What good life can you have if you run away from Xuzhou now? At best, you can bring some rice cakes and some salted meat, and drink this water. But in addition to food for people, you have to prepare a lot of food for horses, otherwise the ponies will starve to death in this wasteland of Xuzhou.

On weekdays, you have to be careful of the troublemakers on the street to avoid being harmed by them.

The surroundings of Xuzhou are all barren, and there is nothing new or beautiful to be seen. This job is really boring.

The man thought that this mission was the same as the previous one, and he would just ride his pony around Xuzhou and then go back, but he didn't expect to see such a weird scene:
A large group of people were walking south, and with every step they took a layer of wheat grew behind them.

You can tell with your little toes that these people must have treasures that are as high as the sky!

If only one person took the treasure away, the man would most likely ride on his horse, stab the person to death with a knife, snatch the treasure, and then head all the way to Qingzhou or Youzhou, never returning to Xuzhou.

But now there are so many people around, and the man feels that if he rushes over on his horse, both he and his horse will become a dish in someone else's pot, and go into their stomachs along with the wheat.

After staring at it for a while, the man felt that he had to report the matter to King Kang, so he walked carefully to the dead tree, untied the reins of the horse, jumped on the horse, and ran towards Xuzhou city while whipping the horse.

He ran following the sun from the middle of the mountain all the way to the foot of the mountain, and finally arrived outside the city wall of Xuzhou.

Seeing that it was getting dark, he didn't care about anything else and shouted directly at the city gate:
"I am King Kang's scout! Open the door quickly! I have something important to report!"

After shouting three times in a row, the soldiers sleeping on the city wall were finally woken up.

"Damn you! Can't you come back tomorrow morning?"

The soldiers used the firelight to see clearly the people coming from below, and found that they were indeed scouts, so they opened the city gate while cursing.

After entering the city, he did not stop but rode his horse directly towards the palace.

Fortunately, when he arrived at the palace, the dinner was just over and King Kang had not yet taken his concubines to rest, otherwise the scout's information would not reach King Kang's ears until tomorrow morning.

Of course, the scout was exhausted, covered in dust, and had been outside the city with a bad smell. He had no right to enter the banquet and tell King Kang about this matter in person.

After entering the palace gate, several neat and tidy people came towards us. They were all the retainers of King Kang. Their noses were higher than their eyes. They lowered their heads and looked at the scouts, asking:
"You said you have important information, so tell me now. If it doesn't help King Kang fight for the throne, you'll be beaten!"

The scout felt aggrieved, but he dared not disobey these people who looked down on him, so he had to tell the guests everything he had just seen.

After hearing the scout's words, the retainers looked at each other and were speechless for a moment.

"I guarantee with my life that what I said is true!" The scout was worried that they would think he was lying, so he patted his chest and said. But the leading guest just waved his hand and said, "You go down and rest first, and let the accountant prepare some wine, meat and money for you."

The scout was overjoyed and left satisfied after receiving the reward.

After there were no other outsiders, the guests looked a little strange:
"It sounds a bit like a lie to me. How could there be such a powerful treasure in the world?"

"I don't think so. The scout has no knowledge or skills, but his eyes and ears are good, so what he sees should not be wrong. Who knows, Xuzhou is too desolate, and maybe God has really sent down some rare treasures."

"Let's report this matter to King Kang first." The retainers whispered to each other and finally sent a capable person who was favored by King Kang to report the matter.

The person who was entrusted with the important task was an old man. He was the head of the family before the master came. After the master came, he semi-retired. Unexpectedly, he was pulled out again today.

The old man entered the banquet hall, and the banquet was stopped not long after.

King Kang summoned all the remaining guests into the main hall to discuss the matter.

The guests dared not be negligent and rushed into the main hall. They found that mats had already been laid out there, so they took their seats. Those with status and ability sat in the front, those who were just filling in the numbers sat in the middle, and the youngest sat in the back.

There are the most middlemen, gathering in groups.

Seeing that almost everyone had arrived, the fat and big-eared King Kang spoke with a gloomy face:
"Master hasn't come back yet?"

No one answered.

"Where has that poor bookworm been fooling around now?"

King Kang cursed.

At this point, the old man next to him suddenly took a step forward and half bowed: "King Kang, I'm afraid the master has met with an accident."

"Ah?" King Kang stared at the old man, confused.

"Those villains came from the direction where the master went. If the master was still alive, he would definitely go up and grab the treasure if he saw it. But now there is no treasure, and no master. All we can see is a group of villains walking this way. This is definitely not right."

Upon hearing this, King Kang frowned slightly.

This does make sense.

But that scholar is quite capable, to be able to kill him? I'm afraid he needs some skills to do so.

A bunch of flat-headed flies? How can we deal with the master?

"Maybe he was ambushed. Although the master is a congenital one, he is still a mortal. He cannot keep an eye on all directions and be invulnerable to swords and guns. If a rogue citizen tries to please him first and then stabs the master's head with a knife, even the master will surely die." The old man explained.

"This is weird." King Kang cursed, "Forget it, take out his brocade bag first, and let me see what's in it."

After saying this, the counselor who was holding the brocade bag immediately stepped forward, took out the blue brocade bag among the three brocade bags, and opened it at King Kang's signal.

He opened the blue brocade bag, and inside was a thick folded paper. He spread it out and read out the contents:

"It's nice to see you, sir. You may encounter three kinds of troubles while I'm away. The first is natural disasters, which you don't need to worry about. They are all under my control and will not affect Xuzhou City. The second is ghost disasters. Because there are too many deaths in Xuzhou City and the resentment is too heavy, it is easy to raise ghost soldiers from the mortal world. If this is the case, please send someone to my house and ask my butler to get the meat tiger talisman to resolve it.

“If it’s the third option, it’s the least likely, but also the most troublesome.

"The people of Xuzhou are hungry and resentful. If a few brainless people come out and shout a few words, they can gather some militia.

"Don't underestimate them. If they really succeed, the harm they will cause will be greater than the previous two combined!
"If you find any signs, please send out your heavy cavalry to strangle him!"
