Chapter 38: If you are not educated, you should read more
The male ghost stared at Chen Chunxing's face, and suddenly his whole body shook violently, as if he woke up from the shocking scene in front of him, and then he forced a very awkward smile.
"I didn't expect that you, young lady, have such an extraordinary identity..."
Chen Chunxing waved his hand indifferently. "Alright, you don't have to try to get close to me. This area is not under my jurisdiction. Tell me, what happened?"
"Yes, yes, I followed you quietly just now on the orders of Manager Luo..." The male ghost wiped his forehead, feeling so aggrieved. He had just escaped death not long ago, but he lost his life in the end!
This man was the driver who was almost stabbed in the kidney by Shen Mingqiu earlier.
Luo Jinzhi sent him to keep an eye on things, with the original intention that if the old man was alright, she would find a way to interfere and make sure to keep the eldest daughter of the Shen family in this wasteland.
But who would have thought that he clearly saw the water truck enter the village with his own eyes, but no one came out.
Just as he was hesitating, he suddenly saw a group of people on horseback holding bows rushing out of the village. The driver realized that something was wrong and thought that the eldest daughter of the Shen family might have been in trouble, so he immediately retreated quietly.
But as soon as he turned around, he was ripped open. After the driver died and turned into a wronged ghost, he saw clearly the person who attacked him from behind.
"He's dark, thin, and quite tall. His features aren't ugly, and he's not too old. But he has an untidy beard, and he doesn't look very sophisticated."
After listening to the driver's story, Chen Chunxing clenched his teeth.
"Based on your description, we can catch a lot of them in our team."
The male ghost chuckled and tried to recall, "Oh, right, I heard someone calling him the Deputy City Lord... He even smelled of alcohol, so he must be a heavy drinker!"
City lord?
A gleam of light flashed in Chen Chunxing's eyes.
"Miss, have you guessed where they came from?" Although the male ghost was extremely unlucky, he was used to reading people's expressions and couldn't help asking.
Even if I die, I want to be a clear-headed ghost!
"Apart from Chiling, what other cities could this damn place have besides Qingyang Town?"
"You mean... they came from Chiling... hiss..."
Chen Chunxing sneered and glanced at the male ghost.
"Don't think too well of others, and don't think too badly of others."
The North has never been a good place.
On the left, the Southern Jin State was eyeing it covetously; on the right, it was constantly harassed by foreign tribes; and the surrounding areas were also divided among the princes.
The situation is much more complicated than the world she lived in before.
"As long as Chiling Pass remains intact, the people of Southern Jin can't break in, and the foreign tribes won't dare act so blatantly. As for King Bei Xiao, there's no need for him to oppose the imperial court. Excluding those, the only thing left is—Liuren City."
Chen Chunxing's expression was calm, but the male ghost's heart was beating fast when he heard it.
Even he didn't know much about the forces in the north. The Shen family was just a peasant family, far away from the capital. How did the eldest daughter of the Shen family know all this?
"Liuren City..."
The male ghost muttered a few words, a look of confusion on his face.
"It's a place where good and bad people mix together. A few self-proclaimed righteous thieves recruited some small thieves and tried to leave their names in history. It's a pity that their intentions were good, but human nature is evil."
Chen Chunxing kindly explained, and seeing that the male ghost seemed to understand but didn't, he smiled and said, "Are you wondering why I'm telling you this?"
The male ghost looked at her cautiously, "I am indeed a little curious... You and I... don't really have a good relationship..."
Chen Chunxing replied calmly as he walked, "I'm not a very kind person, and you're a complete bastard. I should have watched you being consumed by resentment, transformed into a demon, and then beaten to death by Lord Wuchang."
Those who die accidentally are called wrongfully dead ghosts. They hold resentment in their hearts and are most likely to lose their minds and turn into evil spirits.
She glanced at the male ghost who was following closely beside her, with his head down and his expression unclear.
"But considering that you only harbor malicious intent and have never succeeded in harming anyone..."
Having said that, Chen Chunxing smacked his lips, as if he was also very impressed by his luck. After a moment of hesitation, he continued.
"I'll give you one more chance. Let's see if you want to repay your karma in the mortal world before reincarnating, or if you'd rather have a grand and exciting life just to satisfy your inner peace."
"Delightful? No, no, no, I'm not delighted at all!" The male ghost's already pale face was so frightened that it seemed to turn into a shadow. He shook his head like a rattle, "Please show me the way, young lady!"
Although the eldest daughter of the Shen family looked indifferent and had no intention of threatening him, he was still frightened and broke out in a non-existent sweat!
My soul is scattered...
It's already unfair enough to die, and now you have to pay for it with your next life. There's really no way to seek justice!
"Then you will come with me." Chen Chunxing achieved his goal and stopped delaying. He changed from walking at a constant speed to leaping in an instant.
Since Liuren City has left some tricks here, small things will become big things.
She didn't like this kind of plot that was beyond her control.
"Miss, you have lived in Lin'an for a long time, how come you are so familiar with the northern border? I have never heard of Liuren City in Beijing..." The male ghost floated behind and muttered.
Chen Chunxing stopped when he was about to run to the village entrance, and quickly climbed up a big tree nearby, completely covering himself in the dense tree canopy.
Listening to the faint sounds of fighting coming from the front, she said something indifferently.
"If you're uneducated, you should read more. Teahouses are a good place to do that."
Curiosity is the primary driving force.
The more novel and unbelievable something is, the more it will arouse people's interest and bring a steady stream of business to teahouses and restaurants.
Therefore, Chen Chunxing listened to no less than ten stories about the northern border while in Lin'an City.
Of course, it's not just about the North.
Her understanding of Xia Yuan, Nanjin, and even the entire continent came from books or what other people said.
The information obtained is naturally a mixture of true and false.
Fortunately, Shen Chunxing was born with a pair of eyes that can see, so he doesn't have to worry about being deceived by the world.
"Did you see that man? Get on top of him, then ride to Lord Wei and surrender. Remember to shout loudly all the way..."
"Yuzhou is short of land, and the northern border is short of people. Fortunately, we have been blessed by heaven and have a wise ruler! I have heard that those who surrender to the imperial court can be allocated dozens of acres of wasteland in the northern border. If they cultivate it diligently, their taxes will be reduced. I would like to ask, is this true?"
The male ghost looked in the direction of Chen Chunxing's finger, and became even more frightened.
I'd only heard of ghosts and underworld spirits in storybooks before... but I'd never heard of anyone encouraging a ghost to possess them! Is there really no taboo against this kind of thing?
"So I'm really going, huh? If Lord Wuchang finds out about this, you'll have to explain it to me, young lady..."
The male ghost looked back every few steps. Seeing Shen Chunxing's increasingly impatient gaze, he gritted his teeth and suddenly jumped into a person's body.
That was specially selected for him by Chen Chunxing.
Those who have done all kinds of evil and have weak minds.
ahead.
Zhao Si was stabbed several times, blood gushing from his arms. He was exhausted from running away and was screaming in his heart, "God is going to kill me..."
Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves was heard behind the sound.
"Make way, make way. It's irresponsible to step on someone and kill them... Then you, don't move. I'll take you to surrender! No, I'll escort you back!"
Zhao Si suddenly became energetic.
Run faster.
He is tired, not stupid! This is too much!
