Ruins of the past

In the hall after Ning Chigong left, the two generals sat silently without speaking.

Chu Qiguang looked at them, recalling the scene just now in his mind.

‘The pretender who takes both black and white? ’

‘Haha, black and white take it all. ’

‘Also disguising means that he is disguising... his strength? identity? ’

Chu Qiguang carefully considered the handwriting he saw on Ning Chigong, and thought to himself: 'Strength also has five touches... This Ning Chigong has a secret. I don’t know if the Shuzhou Demon Division knows his secrets. ’

After all, seeing strength through tentacles is Chu Qiguang's unique ability. He believes that he is not the only one in the world who hides strength.

Chu Qiguang turned his head and looked at the writings floating on the bodies of the two general banners, which were:

‘Brainless general flag. ’

‘The general flag of displeasure. ’

Chu Qiguang shook his head and said, "Gather all the people in the fort and I want to do a population count."

"Find the accountant as well, I want to check the money and food."

Following Chu Qiguang's two words, the two commander-in-chiefs looked at each other, then agreed and walked out.

After arriving at the school grounds, the 'brainless general flag' said: "This Mr. Chu... doesn't give you face."

The 'Unhappy Chief Banner' sneered: "Let him investigate, but let's see what he can find out. There is no order from Master Ning in this castle. Who dares to cooperate with him?"

An hour later, Chu Qiguang dived into the archives in the fort. There were case records of the Ba family over the years, and even a few martial arts secret books of the Demon Suppressing Division.

His subordinate Zhang Jitian went to count the population, while Chen Gang was responsible for checking the money and food.

The entire Tumen Fort seemed to be lively in the next day or two.

…

Chen Gang looked at the empty granary and said angrily: "Where is the food?"

The warehouse guard lowered his head and said, "We haven't seen the grain that was taken down from above in two years."

Chen Gang was surprised: "Then what do you eat? What are you growing in the fields outside?"

The warehouse guard replied: "With such a small amount of land... there is no way to grow enough food to eat. On weekdays, Ning Baihu collects food from the rich and powerful people in Ba Mansion."

Chen Gang asked again: "What about the food collected?"

The warehouse guard said: "I finished eating a few days ago, and I asked the new Chu Baihu to think of a way, otherwise all the brothers in the fort will starve to death."

…

Zhang Jitian looked at the group of old, weak, sick and disabled people gathered on the school grounds, including children under twelve years old and gray-haired old men.

Zhang Jitian said speechlessly: "Are they all here?"

The 'Unhappy General Banner' nodded, curled his lips and said: "The conditions in the fort are difficult. The young and strong people can walk or escape. Now these are the only ones left."

Zhang Jitian frowned and said, "Where are those young men I just saw? Why didn't they come over?"

The 'Unhappy Chief Banner' rolled his eyes and said, "That's a servant of Mr. Ning's family. He spent his own money to raise him. He only comes to the castle to help on weekdays."

…

The soldiers watched the newly arrived Baihu doing their work with the mentality of watching a good show.

Ning Chigong has been a local overlord for too long. Even if he returns to his hometown and claims to be ill, he can still secretly control Tumen Fort's money, food and elites.

In this way, everyone in the fort was obviously not optimistic about Chu Qiguang's actions.

But the next day, an even more shocking news spread throughout Ba Mansion.

Someone found a large number of demon corpses on the official road, and the blood stained the entire official road red. It was suspected that a very serious demon dyeing incident had broken out.

As soon as this incident broke out, the entire Ba family was in a state of uproar, with undercurrents surging, and it was unknown how many demons and ghosts in the darkness were disturbed.

…

"Where's Babel's body too?"

Deputy Baihu Ning Chi listened to the report of his subordinates and said angrily: "What are these monsters doing? Performing rituals on official roads? Are they full of shit?"

In his opinion, the fact that King Huntian and the others encountered such serious demonic contamination must be the result of the rituals of the Tribulation Sect.

The subordinate in front of him was dark-skinned, tall and strong, but standing in front of Ning Chi Gong, he was like a quail with his head shrunken.

Ning Chigong then asked: "Where are King Huntian and Jiji Ghost? Are there their bodies?"

The subordinate said: "I'm still looking, but I haven't found it yet."

Ning Chigong asked in a deep voice: "What about the remaining monsters?"

"Five good guys have been sent to chase him."

"Five?" Ning Chigong said with a gloomy look: "Do you know how many mountains there are in Ba Mansion? Do you know what will happen if the escaped monsters leak the secret?"

The subordinate said: "It's not like there were no rumors in the past. I don't think my superiors paid much attention to it."

"Then there were hundreds of fucking monsters lying on the official road before!?" Ning Chigong pressed his palm on the desk and saw the thick desk made of solid wood shatter into pieces.

"Now the whole Ba family knows that these monsters have encountered Moran. The Taoist priests in the Taoist temple are exorcising the demons there. In a few days, this matter will reach Song Baoyi's ears."

"Do you think they are all vegetarians? Once the relationship between these monsters and the Jie Cult is found out, all of us will be implicated."

"Spread out all the people and we must find King Huntian."

But at this moment, exclamations, noises, and collisions came continuously.

Just when Ning Chigong turned to look over, the door was kicked open.

A young man wearing a short coat and holding a piece of grass in his mouth slowly walked in, followed by a large number of fallen warriors.

The men next to Ning Chigong wanted to take action, but were stopped by Ning Chigong with a wave of his hand.

The young man holding a grass root in his mouth had a round face and an ordinary appearance. He seemed to disappear as soon as he blended into the crowd.

He smiled shyly at this moment: "Master Ning, I didn't want to come over originally, but now things have gone too far. My uncle told me that you are the best in the whole Ba family, so I can come to you if I have anything to do."

Ning Chigong frowned and said slowly: "Don't worry, I will find the remaining monsters and they won't affect your affairs there."

The young man shook his head. His round face, which looked ordinary, was exuding a deep chill at the moment: "I went to their monster cave early this morning to search, and everything was gone. We wanted it." The goods' were also destroyed."

"This group of monsters is obviously led by someone, but they want to cut off contact with us. This is a bit abnormal."

After hearing what the other party said, Ning Chigong frowned slightly and thought to himself: 'You actually know where King Huntian's lair is? It seems that the connection between these crazy people from the Jie Cult and those monsters is deeper than I thought. ’

The young man continued: "I am not very familiar with Ba Mansion, so I would like to ask Mr. Ning to help me and give me some manpower to find those monsters."

Ning Chigong smiled and said: "Gao Yi, you are here as a guest in Ba Mansion. How can you be busy with things here? My people will find those escaped monsters. Just wait here for news." ”

The young man known as Tall Wing spit out the grass roots in his mouth.

As his energy and blood circulated, a thin layer of blood suddenly appeared in his eyes: "Uncle said that you regard the ten counties of Ba Mansion as your own one-third of an acre, and you are not willing to let anyone interfere. Now it seems It’s really good.”

Seeing Ning Chigong's face darken, Gao Yi smiled and turned to leave. When he walked out of the door, he suddenly turned around and said, "By the way, I heard that a new Baihu has arrived, and there has been a lot of noise these past two days... I'm going to push you down, do you want me to help you deal with him, I'm very powerful."

After hearing this, Ning Chigong said coldly: "Gao Yi, if you want to go crazy, don't go crazy here. If you dare to mess around in Ba's house, I will chop off your claws."

"Hiss, it's so scary." Gao Yi chuckled, and his body shape changed, and it penetrated the ground like a ball of mud and disappeared.

Looking at the disappearing Gao Yi, Ning Chigong said quietly in his heart: 'Jie Sect's "Shadowless Tribulation"... Is Gao Yi taken a fancy to by the Jie Sect's senior officials? Did you put this kind of Taoist magic on him? ’

Ning Chigong knew that the Celestial Master Sect could use the talismans made by those who have entered the Taoism to allow those who have not yet entered the Taoism to master extraordinary powers, such as invisibility talismans and demon-conquering talismans.

The powerful disciples of the Tribulation Sect can refine monsters and then give extraordinary power to others.

Asked the subordinates on the side: "Did Chu Qiguang do anything good again?"

"No... no."

"If you don't know, just go and ask."

After a while, Ning Chigong listened to the report from his subordinates... Tumen Fort's two general flags, 10 small flags, and the personnel in the accounting room and warehouse were all forcibly replaced.

He took a deep breath and said, "Young man with a yellow mouth... you are causing trouble for me at this juncture."
