The beloved baby has a space

Chapter 741 Listen to Ayu's Words

Jiangsai City is nominally under the jurisdiction of Dachang, but after a hundred miles of desert, it borders the territory of Xifeng Kingdom.

This place was originally intended to be a border fortress, and a protectorate was once established here to govern the area year-round.

Later, the Protector-General of Jiangsai colluded with bandits, causing widespread public resentment and small-scale disturbances to occur throughout Jiangsai.

"Later on, there were more bandits than civilians here. Officials either became bandits or were killed by them. Good and bad were all mixed together." Wang Wulang whispered the good news he had gathered. "Now, you can't trust anyone in Jiangsai City."

The girl only told them where they could hear half-truths and half-lies, and then left the inn. Wang Wulang used his sword and a few hard steamed buns to pry open some people's mouths. When they returned, they pieced together the gist of the story.

Ayu: "That young lady also mentioned someone, saying that an official who came some time ago was hung on the city gate."

“Oh, Jiangsai City isn’t very big, but it has eight city gates. I went to check the one we came from, and the other seven gates were all hung with human heads, some of which were quite fresh. They said they were hung with whole bodies, but over time, some of them had their lower bodies fall off, and some were used as targets by others to shoot off.”

At this point, Wang Wulang stopped talking, afraid that Ayu would feel disgusted if she heard it.

Ayu, however, didn't care about feeling nauseous at all, and just asked, "Have you seen Uncle Ashu?"

It took Wang Wulang a long time to realize that when Ayu called Xiaoyao Wang, she was actually calling him Uncle Ashu.

He shook his head: "I didn't see him. He's a prince, after all. He can't be that incompetent, right? You suspect that the official who was hung up was him? That's unlikely."

Red Dog chimed in, "The Carefree King is a very shrewd man. There used to be a rumor in Wanning City about the Three Ghost Kings, and the Carefree King was one of them."

"The Three Ghost Kings?" Ayu had never heard of such a rumor before, and was rather curious. "Which three ghosts are they?"

"I know, I know. They're talking about the King of Death, also known as the Carefree King. Another one is the Midnight Soul-Hooking King, a war god general skilled in night raids on enemy camps. He guards the Wangxiang Pass year-round, and people say that the Wangxiang Pass he guards leads directly to the Wangxiang Terrace in the underworld. If any enemy tries to pass through, they'll all go to hell. There's also someone called the Little Ghost King, whose name I don't know. I only know that he's young, but he's bloodthirsty, and anyone who offends him dies."

When the last one was mentioned, Wang Wulang chuckled and said, "This one is probably just there to make up the numbers. What can a little kid do?"

Xie Zhen, who had been silent all along, said, "That's not entirely true. I've also heard some rumors about the Three Ghost Kings. People say that it's easy to avoid the King of Hell, but difficult to deal with the little ghosts. That's where the name 'Little Ghost King' comes from. Perhaps, this is the most difficult of the Three Ghost Kings to deal with."

Red Hare, Red Ding, and Red Dog all pretended to look up at the sky.

“I haven’t heard of that before, but if that’s the case, Uncle Shu definitely isn’t among them. I just don’t know who that deceased official was. He was my colleague after all, so I have to go and see.”

Everyone was actually quite worried, as Jiangsai was a mixed bag and not a safe place for studying abroad. But Ayu said, "Don't worry, Grandma and the Empress Dowager are both willing to let us come, which means they trust me a lot. You should also have some faith in me. I will protect you."

Don't worry, honey, I've bought you all the buffs I can stack up. As long as it's not an instant kill, you can be brought back to life.

Ayu sometimes acts impulsively, but she won't implicate others, so she naturally won't act rashly.

"Ayu, what should we do now?" Upon seeing his younger sister, Wang Wulang felt as if he had found a pillar of support and instinctively listened to her.

Didn't you see him and Akainu wandering in that damned underground tomb for months without getting out? It even took them more than two months to find the tomb itself.

As a result, Ayu and her friends arrived in just one day, and Ayu even took them all out with her.

They also managed to retrieve a precious Xuan Tian Bow.

Wang Wulang always felt that the lush green grass place was special, and that they might have to go back there someday.

While he was pondering, Ayu had already arranged what everyone needed to do, and then clapped her hands: "Let's go then."

"Where to?" Wang Wulang hadn't heard the plan yet.

Ayu held the Heavenly Profound Bow in her hand: "First, find the city lord, then open a human meat bun shop."

Wang Wulang:? ? ?

I'm so sorry, I've had too much work, working through the night for over half a month, and I feel like I'm about to collapse.

This story has reached a fairly core part; once this part is finished, it will be the ending. I don't want to rush through it; I want to finish it properly, so I haven't been padding or writing hastily just to meet deadlines or meet attendance requirements. (The folder containing key information is missing, and I've forgotten where I placed several foreshadowing elements. I'll have to find time to go back and find them. If there are any omissions, please comment to remind me; I'll read them all.)

I can't guarantee a stable update schedule right now, but it should be completed within the next month or two, around 150 million words.

I didn't mean to be so verbose, but I'm not good at being concise, so please forgive me.
