Chapter 58: Relieve the National Sorrow (Please Ask for Everything!)



Kong Hanan opened the passage according to Gu Qiang's position.

If you say that it wasn't Mr. Gu who caused the trouble, Kong Hanan would never believe it even if he was beaten to death!

Look at what you are capable of. Are you going to pay the underworld a salary in the future?

Without enough merit, how could I have the energy to print paper money for the dead?

After briefly understanding what happened, Kong Hanan felt depressed.

Why did you have to break the seal of King Wen of Former Shu?

And you just happened to fall into the treasure room, and I stepped into the burial pit. How the hell is this reasonable?

After kicking Gu Qiang and asking him to hurry up with the trial, Kong Hanan turned around and glanced at the battlefield.

The City of the Dead is overloaded; the number of enemies is too great.

According to a rough estimate by the chief of the Li Geng tribe, there are probably more than 200,000 ghosts.

The demonic wind of the Li Geng demon clan could only provide protection, and some inexperienced little demons were even injured.

All the people from the underworld have been sent out, and their families have also joined the battle.

The cow and horse monsters were all fat and strong from eating so much that they burped and could no longer make any sound.

Even though Ye Qisi was the strongest in the realm of earth-walking Yaksha evil ghosts, he was only in the realm of evil ghosts. At this moment, he was exhausted and lay on the ground. He coughed hard for a long time before he could spit out a few sparks.

Li Wujiu threw down the ghosts in bundles, and Kong Han reduced their sentences in exchange for the laborers from the City of the Dead to join the war.

But they were all ghosts after all, and Kong Hanan was worried. Since those who had not been tried could only help to detain and deal with prisoners of war.

Yan Changan's crying and laughing distracted a large number of ghosts, but there were still many evil ghosts attacking the City of the Dead.

Although the souls in the sky were not very strong, and some were still devouring and dissipating on their own, and the three ghost kings wiped them out, there were simply too many enemies.

They did not scatter, but attacked the defense line formed by the Li Geng demon tribe like crazy.

Kong Hanan used to think that ten constables and a hundred underlings were a lot, and he was very satisfied.

Now, he deeply hated his own lack of strength.

If he is powerful enough and has enough positions in the underworld under his command, the injured Li Geng demons can be treated by him.

These ghosts are just numerous but of poor quality, and they don't seem to have committed many sins. Whether the underworld kills or captures them, it doesn't bring him much merit.

Bai Wuchang was busy fighting and there was no one to command him. The national ghosts relied on instinct to fight and suffered a lot of losses.

Kong Hanan was heartbroken. He urgently needed a commander-type talent.

Wait, Commander!

Kong Hanan ignored the chaos on the battlefield and grabbed a random person. He said, "Bring out the imprisoned Xu Tong!"

Xu Tong was brought in soon.

Kong Hanan had originally intended to slowly deal with this man and wear out his patience, just like playing games in his previous life.

After capturing an enemy general, detain him and wait until his loyalty drops to zero. You can then recruit him even if he is a sworn brother of the enemy monarch.

But at this moment, Kong Hanan couldn't care less.

"Xu Tong, surrender or not!"

Xu Tong sneered and said, "No surrender!"

He is not stupid. The underworld city of the dead is in danger. Why should he surrender?

Kong Hanan said bluntly: "If I hand over your body to the Great Qi court, will your Xu family still exist?"

As if this wasn't enough, Kong Hanan emphasized, "I don't know who Xu Meng is to you, but he's now a lieutenant of a county. If His Majesty knew you were involved with the Witch God Temple..."

Before he could finish his words, Xu Tong's expression changed drastically.

Xu Meng was the son of his second brother and his nephew.

In the war between Qi and Shu, Xu Tong followed the Former Shu Kingdom, while Xu Meng's branch defected to the Great Qi.

After the fall of Shu Kingdom, he became a stray dog, but the Xu family still retained most of its strength.

These are just common tricks used by the aristocratic families and local powerful people. The emperor of Da Qi probably knows this too.

From ancient times to the present, everyone has been playing this way.

But the bad thing was that he believed the lies of the Lord of Yinfeng Mountain and got involved with the Witch God Temple.

The Temple of the Witch God is a heresy to the Taoist tradition.

If Kong Hanan really sent his body up, regardless of what the Emperor of Da Qi would say, those crazy people in Daotong would definitely raze his house to the ground.

Xu Tong's momentum waned, and he no longer had the same toughness as before. He murmured in a low voice, "I... I'm already dead."

"Oh, death? Do you think that turning you into a ghost will be useful in the underworld, in the hands of the underworld that controls souls?"

Kong Hanan was reluctant to do such a thing as threatening the other party's family, but at this moment, he took the risk.

At this critical moment, the family fortune he had accumulated with great difficulty was about to be lost. How could he have any patience?

Xu Tong was completely depressed.

He discovered that the young man in front of him was even more evil than the evil spirits in the sky.

Xu Tong sighed: "I am willing to surrender, but I have a request."

Kong Hanan frowned.

Do you still have the capital to make demands?

But since the other party had softened, Kong Hanan still remained patient and was willing to listen.

Xu Tong also knew that he had gone too far. As a prisoner, the life and death of his family was in the hands of the other party, so he should not have said too much, but he still spoke seriously.

"I am a defeated general who lost my country. Although I have been on the battlefield for many years, I don't think I can bear the responsibilities of a commander. If Your Excellency has the opportunity to allow me to switch to civilian work in the future, I will be satisfied."

Kong Hanan's brows relaxed.

This wasn't actually a requirement, but instead reminded Kong Hanan of his job-hunting experience right after graduation in his previous life.

For some positions, when you go for an interview, the unscrupulous boss will ask you to work as a salesperson first, under the pretext of letting you get familiar with the company and gain some experience.

Perhaps a small number of students successfully changed jobs, but more people wasted their time and energy and did not get what they wanted after the probation period.
