You have mastered the art of thunder and you tell me that it is in a strange world?

Chapter 77: Meat Tiger Talisman

Old Sun narrowed his eyes and looked at the tiger talisman in the man's hand.

Although his Taoist skills were not very high, he could still feel the evil spirit brought by the tiger talisman made of meat.

The second green brocade bag explained that this meat tiger talisman could lead the ghost army. Even if the holder was not very capable, the ghost army would not be able to resist the tiger talisman.

According to the master's original plan, this thing would be a surprise weapon to be used in the final battle against King Shou.

By then, with tens of thousands of ghost soldiers charging, ordinary mortal armies will be unable to resist at all. The master will then personally perform a ceremony to behead King Shou, and in this way, Qingzhou can be taken directly into his possession.

By then, we will have people, ghosts, and logistics.

Until this point, King Kang finally had the capital to fight for the world!

Who knew that something would go so wrong that we would have to use the ghost army in advance.

Concentrating his thoughts and staring at his confidant who was half-kneeling below, Old Sun said, "Your name is Chen Niu, right?"

"It is the little one."

"Take this meat tiger talisman and go to Niujin Mountain near Luoshan. There is a backup plan left by the master. Go and transfer those ghost soldiers over."

"Little understands."

Chen Niu nodded immediately.

Niujin Mountain is not too far from Xuzhou City. It only takes half a day to get there by riding a fast horse.

Just as Chen Niu was about to leave to deal with these matters, there was suddenly some noise of commotion outside the city.

Old Sun frowned, listened attentively for two seconds, and suddenly sighed.

Chen Niu's face was full of doubts:

"Mr. Sun?"

"Sure enough, the cavalry retreated." Old Sun rubbed his forehead and said, "I'm afraid I'll have to go and comfort King Kang later."

……

The soldiers defending Xuzhou were relaxing on the city wall. A few new recruits were standing on the outermost circle and yawning, while the veteran brothers inside had their own entertainment activities.

Some veterans cut whole pieces of roast beef with knives and ate and drank shochu while others simply ate horse meat sashimi, chewing and swallowing with big mouthfuls, with blood and flesh sticking to the corners of their mouths.

Beef is cut from old oxen that are no longer needed for farming, and horse meat is cut from horses that can neither run fast nor for long.

This can only be done in Xuzhou city.

Most of the resources in the entire Xuzhou are concentrated in Xuzhou City, which means that the "wealth" owned by the residents in the city is even much greater than when Xuzhou was not yet deserted.

Can eat a bowl of rice, and even pour a bowl of rice.

rich?

It was more like traveling merchants from the entire state transported all the goods to Xuzhou city, and then dumped their trucks down there.

This is not abundance, this is too much stuff.

The new recruits who were standing guard were bored. One of them with good eyesight was stretching lazily when he suddenly noticed clouds of gray smoke rising on the horizon not far away.

When I looked over carefully, my face turned green.

"The Iron Cavalry is back!"

He shouted loudly, and many soldiers on the city wall came over.

Most of the soldiers were just watching the fun. In their impression, the Iron Cavalry were very powerful, and it was hard to stop more than 20 of them at a time. Moreover, they were fighting ordinary people, so whether it was a waste of talent or a sledgehammer, these two words did not feel out of place when applied to them.

However, when they actually saw the appearance of the iron cavalry, the faces of the soldiers guarding the pass turned green like the first recruit.

Looking up from the bottom of the wall, it was all green, as if there were rows of iron trees wearing armor.

The reason why these soldiers looked unhappy was very simple.

All of these returning cavalrymen had lost their armor and weapons, and only half of them were left!
The accompanying team behind them is in full condition, and now they are protecting the master of the iron cavalry, looking quite majestic.

The soldiers guarding the city watched the cavalry reach the gate, but because this scene was so rare, they even forgot to open the city gate, until the leading cavalry shouted loudly: "Don't open the door for me!" Four soldiers hurriedly walked to the grinding wheel for opening the door and pushed up the extended wooden handle.

The gate of Xuzhou city creaked open, and a group of cavalry entered the city in a panic.

As they walked on the street, the target-shooting performers and opera singers nearby also saw these old men who had previously been so glorious. They all stared with their eyes wide open, and some were so stunned that they stopped what they were doing involuntarily.

The whole street was silent, and the beaten cavalrymen looked unhappy.

But even so, they had to return to Prince Kang's mansion to report.

The cavalrymen could already imagine King Kang's stormy rage.

……

"You retreat." The cavalrymen took off their armor, their faces covered in blood and their eyes filled with disbelief.

King Kang, who was holding Meiji in his arms, was not angry. He just waved his hand and asked Meiji to leave. He seemed to be disturbed and waved his hand:

"After we go back, each of you will choose a concubine and send her to the kitchen to make fresh peach meat. Let's go."

After hearing this, many cavalrymen's faces changed slightly, but they just lowered their heads and responded.

This can actually be considered a form of punishment. The cavalry are precious and are fed with good rice and meat. If they are beaten hard with a board and their bones are injured, it would be a huge loss.

Sometimes when they committed less serious crimes, King Kang would not punish them physically, but would let them kill a concubine and make peach meat. There were some beautiful concubines that they liked, but they had to send them away. To some extent, this did play a certain restraining role.

However, they returned with a crushing defeat and it was a good thing that they did not lose their heads. Now they are just thankful that they did not issue a military order, otherwise their lives would definitely be lost.

They hurriedly retreated from the hall, and King Kang was the only one left in the hall.

King Kang's face suddenly turned gloomy.

There was even a hint of fear between his eyebrows.

Behind him, Elder Sun walked out slowly, bowed, and then said:

"King Kang, it seems that it is just as Master said. The people who rebelled this time are not ordinary people. I am afraid there is a person behind the scenes who is pushing them."

"Pushing hands? What pushing hands?"

"It could be the Prince of Shou, or it could be those lowly sects, or of course... it could be the current emperor."

"That kid is only fourteen years old this year, he can only push his butt!" King Kang cursed fiercely, but his face was not very good: "Old Sun, what do you think we should do now?"

"Send out all the remaining cavalry. We cannot give these bandits room to grow. Just ride on them and trample them to death." said Old Taoist Sun.

But after hearing what Elder Sun said, King Kang immediately shook his head:

"No, no! Elder Sun, you said before that it's possible that Prince Shou was behind this. What if he used a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain? After I send out all the cavalry, what if he uses his own troops to attack Xuzhou City? He has more soldiers than I do! I haven't been able to raise any ghosts here yet. Without the cavalry guarding me, it will be dangerous!"

Old Sun opened his mouth slightly, but ultimately swallowed all the words back into his stomach.

The Iron Cavalry were moving very fast, and there was no sign of any swordsmen hiding near Xuzhou City. If all the Iron Cavalry were dispatched, they would take a walk around the village and come back, which would take only one or two days at most. Even if that place was really the work of Prince Shou, it would be impossible for Prince Shou to launch a surprise attack at this time.

Unrealistic.

But Old Sun could see that King Kang was afraid.

Old Sun has been with King Kang since he was a child. At that time, King Kang was fat, had no opinion and a weak temper. He was bullied by his brothers and sisters. When he encountered something, he liked to lock himself up and let capable servants guard outside the door. He would not dare to stick his head out until the trouble outside was over. He was as cautious as a turtle.

Everyone says he is a vassal king, but he is indeed not much better than ordinary people.

But it is precisely because of this that Mr. Sun followed him.

Easy to control.

"Master Sun, quickly take out the second magic bag from the master. I want to see what the master will do."

King Kang was obviously confused, but Elder Sun just said calmly:

"King Kang, I have seen the second secret of the master."

"Ah?" King Kang was obviously confused.

But Mr. Sun smiled:

"Don't worry, it won't be long before you have another large army under your command. By then, you will have a chance to conquer the world!"

King Kang's mind was frozen, but seeing that Old Man Sun looked serious, he nodded in agreement.

There should be no problem.

……

Xuzhou city is extremely bustling, but there are some corners where few people go.

In a small shop on the edge of the city, several figures gathered together and whispered:
"There's no movement from the large cavalry force?"

"No movement. That fat pig is too timid to let the main force go out."

"What a pity. I thought it was a godsend opportunity."

"It's not a big problem." A tall figure spoke slowly in a hoarse voice: "The God-given opportunity has arrived."

He looked into the distance, towards the south of Xuzhou.

That was exactly the direction the defeated cavalry was heading back in!
