This was a little comfort to Nie Xiaoqian. At least she found a beauty with extraordinary beauty, not some vulgar girl. If Chen Mo abandoned her and found an ordinary girl, it would be a huge blow to Nie Xiaoqian. Wouldn't it mean that she was not even as good as an ordinary girl?
Another thing that made Nie Xiaoqian satisfied was that Chen Mo did not hide anything and chose to be frank. Otherwise, even Nie Xiaoqian would feel uncomfortable facing a guy who told lies all the time every day.
"Xin Shisinian greets my sister!" Xin Shisinian was very tactful and took the initiative to greet her.
"Sister, please stand up. We have both been harmed by him, so we can be said to be in the same boat. We must help each other in the future!" Nie Xiaoqian said while glaring at Chen Mo fiercely.
Anyway, at least the two women did not fight with each other, which made Chen Mo feel proud: Look, this is my Chen Mo’s woman, not only is she extremely beautiful, but she is also very sensible!
"Ahem, ladies, it's getting late. Do you think we should go to bed?" Chen Mo said maliciously.
Are you going to sleep together?
Thinking of this, Nie Xiaoqian and Xin Shisiniang blushed immediately. They looked at each other, turned around and ran away separately.
Want to run away? How can you let the seafood that is in your mouth run away?
Chen Mo immediately triggered the Flying Thunder God Mark on them, and the two girls who had run a distance away suddenly appeared in front of Chen Mo, and were then hugged into his arms:
"Well……"
Chen Mo and the other two stayed in the room for three full days before they went out. Ordinary people would have been unable to walk long ago, but fortunately they were not ordinary people.
Chen Mo looked full of vigor and vitality, while the two women were rosy-cheeked and radiant. Among them, Nie Xiaoqian's ghost body had already acquired some characteristics of a living person, such as body temperature, because she was constantly nourished by Chen Mo.
In addition, the strength of the two girls has also increased a lot compared to three days ago, all thanks to Chen Mo's continuous contribution.
There are very few female hooligans in this world, but there are many male hooligans, some of whom are extremely bold and perverted. Although Chen Mo is not afraid, in order not to be affected by such trivial matters, Chen Mo still disguised the two women before taking them out shopping.
After a little inquiry, they found out what happened in Xu's mansion. After the on-site investigation by the coroner and the constables, they could basically conclude that everyone in Xu's mansion was dead, and the government office also made this matter public.
Although the Xu Mansion was gone, its properties were still there. As a result, with the collusion between local officials and businessmen, the county magistrate got the money and other local wealthy businessmen got the properties of the Xu Mansion. The Xu Mansion, which was once famous in Guangping County, disappeared completely.
Three days had passed, and there were very few people in the city talking about the Xu Mansion incident, which made Chen Mo sigh: It's true that people forget about you when you're gone!
On the contrary, the incense offerings at the City God Temple increased a lot, because the black flames that burned the Xu family's body that day were seen by many people, and the people could not tell whether it was caused by humans or ghosts. In order to gain peace of mind, they all went to the City God Temple to pray and burn incense. Naturally, the incense offerings at the City God Temple increased.
Hearing people talking about the City God Temple, Chen Mo remembered that he seemed to have seen the City God that day, and he said he would go find him. Since today is worse than tomorrow, then today will be the day!
Thinking of this, Chen Mo immediately took the two girls to the City God Temple. As soon as they approached the City God Temple, Nie Xiaoqian and Xin Shisinian frowned slightly. Chen Mo asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
"This is the City God's domain, and it's filled with divine power, which repels the ghost power and demon power in our bodies, so it's a bit uncomfortable!" Xin Shisinian explained. She had been here several times and had some experience.
Chen Mo nodded in understanding, then held Nie Xiaoqian with one hand and Xin Shisinian with the other, and the Nine Yang internal force in his body directly covered the surface of their bodies. Sure enough, the discomfort that the two women had felt before disappeared, which could be seen from their relaxed brows.
At this moment, the City God in the City God Temple also felt the arrival of the three people, and immediately turned into golden light and flew in front of the three people. Thinking of the many people around, the City God directly transformed into an ordinary middle-aged appearance, looking no different from an ordinary mortal.
The City God of Guangping County first looked at Chen Mo with a complicated look, and then said, "I wonder why the three of you are looking for me?"
Chen Mo saw people passing by from time to time and said with a smile: "There are too many people here, let's go talk somewhere else!"
After saying that, Chen Mo activated the Witness Technique: [Heaven’s Control]
People and objects within a certain range can be transferred to a specific different space. As long as the opponent's strength does not exceed that of the caster to a certain extent, or his understanding and application of space are sufficient, he will not be able to break free. It is semi-compulsory!
Seeing the drastic changes in the surrounding scenery and the disconnection from the City God's domain, the City God of Guangping County felt extremely heavy in his heart: Is this not an illusion? It seems that I have entered a different space. Could it be some secret realm?
"What do you want to do, sir?" the City God of Guangping County asked cautiously.
Chen Mo said bluntly: "I want you to work for me!"
"Ah? Are you a noble lord in the underworld?" The City God of Guangping County was a little surprised. Working for him? Are you a noble lord in the underworld?
In fact, a prince from the underworld had contacted him a few months ago and wanted to recruit him, but he hesitated and did not respond.
"I will go to the underworld, but not now. You don't need to worry about so much. You just need to tell me whether you are willing to work for me!" Chen Mo said without any doubt.
The Guangping County City God's expression changed when he heard this: "So what if you agree? So what if you disagree?"
"If you agree, you will live. If you disagree, you will die!" Chen Mo said expressionlessly.
"Ever since I took office as the City God of Guangping County, I have been fulfilling my duties conscientiously and governing the yin and yang worlds. I really don't want to get involved in the fight between you. Can I remain neutral?" The City God of Guangping County said with a wry smile.
He knew that he would have to take sides sooner or later, but he didn't expect someone to force him so soon. If he hadn't felt that he was no match for the other party, he would have gone berserk long ago.
Chen Mo shook his head: "There is no such thing as neutrality. Either be loyal to me or die!"
Seeing that there was no way out, the City God of Guangping County could only say, "What can I get? If the other princes of the underworld knew that I had joined forces with someone else, I'm afraid they would not let me go, and the world of the living would also be affected!"
Since I have no choice but to seek refuge, I will naturally try to gain some benefits as much as possible. Otherwise, it would be too inhumane to make myself work for free!
“I will leave an avatar in Guangping County. If a powerful underworld being appears who you cannot deal with, you can ask my avatar for help.
Of course, if you follow me, I will not treat you unfairly, so I’ll give you this!” As he spoke, Chen Mo threw a copper seal to the City God of Guangping County.
The City God of Guangping County took it subconsciously, and after a closer look he was immediately shocked: "This... is this the seal of the City God of Guobei County?"
Yes, this is the seal that Chen Mo obtained when he killed the City God of Guobei County. Its function is equivalent to the official seal of an official and it is a symbol of status. At the same time, with this City God seal, he can collect the faith of Guobei County.
The reason why some mountain spirits and monsters in the world of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio can pretend to be mountain gods is because they have obtained identity symbols similar to the seals of the City God, and can collect faith and use the power of faith.
There is a man for every job, and the appearance of an ownerless City God's seal means that a City God has fallen. Or even more than one City God has fallen, because some City Gods may detonate their seals before they die, thinking that they don't want to be obtained by the enemy!
This is also the reason why the princes of the underworld only try to win over these city gods instead of killing them and snatching the city gods' seals. They are afraid that if they force them into a corner, they will self-destruct the seals, resulting in a waste of effort.
Chen Mo nodded and admitted: "Yes, this is the seal of the City God of Guobei County. To be honest, Guobei County is now under my control.
As long as you serve me well, it is possible for me to grant you more City God Seals in the future!"
Hearing this, the City God of Guangping County was excited: If this is true, then my strength will definitely increase extremely quickly, and it will not be impossible for me to become the most powerful person in both the Yin and Yang worlds in the future!
Of course, the prerequisite is to work for Chen Mo!
"Okay, I promise you, as long as you can help me stop those strong men, I will ensure the balance of yin and yang in Guobei County and Guangping County, and there will be no chaos!" The City God of Guangping County agreed.
Chapter 185: Break the city, destroy the family, and burn down the City God Temple! How many positions should we change tonight?
"It is normal for the weak to admire the strong, isn't it?" Chen Mo said seriously.
Xin Shisinian felt that this made sense, but she also felt like something was wrong.
Half a month passed in a flash. Seeing Xin Shisinian distributing porridge as usual, Chen Mo shook his head and said, "It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish!
It’s not enough to just give them relief, they have to find ways to earn money to support their families every day!”
Xin Shisinian smiled bitterly and said, "I know this, but if they can't even afford food and clothing, how can they have the energy to work? Moreover, some jobs are not paid daily, so how can they survive during this period of time when they don't get paid? I can only help them if I can!"
As for the work-for-relief policy? That was the government's business. If they wanted to do it, they would have to have so much money. They couldn't just turn stones into gold with a trick, right? Would that be fair to the merchants?
"Nowadays, there are more and more rebel armies in various parts of Daqian, causing many people to be displaced. If we want to completely solve the problem of refugees, we can only put down the chaos in the world as soon as possible!" Xiaoqian on the side also expressed her opinion.
Xin Shisinian sighed and said, "What we can think of, others can naturally think of as well, but this kind of thing is not so easy to solve."
Chen Mo was about to say something when he suddenly noticed something unusual and quietly activated his [Reincarnation Eye]. The next moment, he frowned and reminded, "Okay, stop talking. Hurry up and notify the rebels. The rebels are coming."
Upon hearing this, Xin Shisinian and Xiaoqian's faces changed. Without any doubt, they spread the news immediately. For a moment, the people who were originally queuing up for porridge became panicked and ran towards the city. No matter how the soldiers at the city gate tried to stop them, it was of no avail.
We need an entrance fee? Are you kidding me? With this money, would we need to get relief porridge outside the city? We are almost dead now, why would we care about you, the soldiers guarding the city?
Not long after, the magistrate of Guangping County, who had received the news, hurriedly led his men here. Looking at the refugees pouring in, the magistrate looked extremely unhappy: "Which bastard spread the rumor that the rebels were coming? What was his intention in causing these refugees to rush into the city?"
At this moment, a soldier came down from the city wall and reported in a hurry: "Report, sir, a large group of people appeared a few miles ahead. Judging from their clothes, they look like the rebels!"
"What? Quick, climb onto the city wall, and notify the gate guards to close the city gate!" After giving the order, the county magistrate led everyone to climb the city wall. Looking into the distance, they saw a large group of people. Moreover, their clothes were completely different from the Daqian standard military uniforms. It was basically certain that they were the rebels.
I originally thought someone was spreading rumors, but I didn’t expect it to be true?
After realizing the seriousness of the matter, the county magistrate immediately ordered people to prepare things to defend the city. In fact, he had anticipated this day as early as when he heard about the uprisings rising up in various parts of Daqian, so on the one hand he sent people to secretly prepare things to defend the city, and on the other hand he made a huge amount of money. His purpose was to make preparations for both situations: if he could defend the city, he would do so. If he couldn't, he could flee to other places with his money and cronies and still live a comfortable life.
Soon after the last refugee entered the city, the rebels actually arrived at the gates of the city, and the two sides were about 300 meters apart, staring at each other from a distance.
The county magistrate shouted from the city wall: "I am the county magistrate of Guangping County. How dare you, the villains, invade Guangping? Why don't you surrender? Perhaps I can write to His Majesty and give you a position!"
The leader of this rebel army was named Li Liang. Hearing this, he sneered, "Want to surrender? If it were a few decades ago, I might have considered it. But now that Daqian is on the verge of collapse, you actually want me to be buried with you? You really have a good plan!"
Listen to me, no matter what you have planned, I will take over Guangping County today!"
The magistrate of Guangping County's face changed slightly. He had wanted to offer amnesty, or lure the other party into the city and kill them, but he didn't expect the other party to remain unmoved. In that case, he could only fight with real swords and guns. He didn't believe that these regular troops in his city with complete armor and weapons would be defeated by the mob outside the city.
As the saying goes, if you don't agree, there's no need to talk too much. The two sides started fighting after a disagreement, and a brutal siege began.
After a while, seeing that the siege was not going well, Li Liang asked hurriedly, "Did the brothers succeed in getting in?"
His deputy beside him said quickly upon hearing this: "There is not a single refugee outside the city. I think they have successfully sneaked into the city!"
"Okay, send the signal quickly. I'm going to attack them from inside and outside and catch them off guard!" Li Liang said with shining eyes.
Upon hearing this, the deputy quickly made arrangements.
After a while, a firework shot up into the sky. The magistrate of Guangping County was slightly stunned when he saw it. "Could it be that this group of rabble has run out of tricks? They actually set off fireworks in broad daylight. Are they planning to use fireworks to attack the city?"
But soon, his face changed drastically as if he had thought of something: "Quick, send someone back to check, be careful of the enemy's internal and external cooperation!"
He thought of the refugees who had entered the city before.
Unfortunately, he was still a step too slow. Before the people around him could walk down the city wall, fierce shouts and screams were heard from the city gate. Hearing the noise, he felt a chill in his heart. He leaned over to take a look at the city gate and saw that some of the refugees who had entered the city before were beginning to attack the city gate.
"I knew it, I knew we shouldn't let these refugees into the city!" He had anticipated this move a long time ago, and that's why he isolated the refugees outside the city. However, he didn't expect such a change to happen. It can only be said that man proposes, God disposes, and it's too late to say anything now.
As soon as the people in the city heard that the rebels were coming, they hid in their homes with their doors and windows closed. Only Chen Mo and the other two stood on a tall building watching the battle at the city gate.
Xin Shisiniang blamed herself a little and said, "I didn't expect that they were the rebels' accomplices. If I had known, I would not have informed them. I didn't expect that this would harm Guangping County."
“You don’t have to blame yourself. Looking at their expressions, you can tell that they must have been prepared in advance, so even without your warning, they would have found other ways to sneak into the city.
As for the harm to Guangping County? It's not the last moment, so it's not the time to make a conclusion!" Chen Mo comforted.
Nie Xiaoqian on the side also said: "Yes, after all, people's hearts are hard to predict, who can predict the ending at the beginning?
You are just being kind-hearted. Others judge by deeds, not by heart, but we judge by heart, not deeds!"
Although she was comforted by the two men, Xin Shisinian still felt a little self-blame, thinking that it was her fault that led to the deaths of so many people.
How can I put it? Actually, neither side is wrong. It’s just that they have different positions.
My eyes returned to the battlefield again, and I saw that the guards at the city gate were killed by the refugees by surprise. Although they had no weapons, they had a lot of people, and their main purpose was to open the city gate. So even though there were still some guards resisting and killing the enemy, the city gate was eventually opened little by little.
Seeing the city gate slowly opening, the defenders in the city were extremely anxious, but Li Liang outside the city's eyes lit up and shouted: "The city gate is open, follow me and kill, charge!"
After saying this, he led his team towards the city gate under the protection of his trusted men. Upon hearing this, the other rebel soldiers hurriedly followed.
It is true that the regular army's combat effectiveness is stronger than that of the rebels, but their numbers are indeed not advantageous. After all, under normal circumstances, the counties and prefectures do not have so many standing soldiers. In addition, in recent years, officials at all levels in Daqian have secretly dismissed a lot of soldiers in order to get more empty salaries. Therefore, the problem of insufficient numbers was exposed in this battle. In just a moment, the rebels rushed into the city with unstoppable force.
"Quick, stop them!" The county magistrate ordered the soldiers guarding the city to stop the rebels, while returning to the county government office with his confidants. He knew that the city was really going to be lost, so he planned to escape quietly with the money he had collected over the years.
In fact, it was not just him. Some other wealthy families in the city were also quietly transferring their assets. Only some of them wanted to find another way to join the rebels.
