Chapter 87 Protection (Six more, please subscribe!!)
Looking up at the gloomy sky, Zitong tightened the cloak on her body, walked out of the woods, and walked towards the distant city.

Ningzhou City, the largest city in Ningzhou, is located in the north of the center of Ningzhou, only one city away from the border of Yuezhou.

Although it is inland and has no coast, its prosperity is not as good as the famous coastal cities, but in Daqi, Ningzhou City is also one of the rare cities with a large population and extremely prosperous.

The resident population alone is as many as 10,000+, and Dan'an City, which has only tens of thousands of people, is completely incomparable.

Zitong hadn't entered Ningzhou City yet, just standing on the gate tower, she was surprised by the prosperity of Ningzhou City.

Zitong has never been to the cities of various states before, because the gate guards in these cities are very strict, and the pair of wolf ears on Zitong's head cannot be covered, so he can only avoid it from a distance.

So this is the first time Zitong has come to Ningzhou City.

As for why Zitong was not investigated this time, it was because she had a special warrant from the Gu family, so she didn't need to conduct a detailed search.

With the entire Ningzhou under the control of the Gu family, Zitong doesn't need to do anything, as long as the pass is shown, the city gate guards will let it go, and they don't even care whether Zitong is a man or a woman, or what it looks like under the bamboo hat .

"The power of the Gu family is really terrifying..."

After easily passing through the door, Zitong once again sighed at the power of the Gu family.

Normally, even if it is a warrant issued by the Gu family, the guard should take a look at Zitong's face to see if it is a wanted criminal on the list.

Zitong was also prepared to have her face checked, but she didn't expect that as soon as she took out the pass, the guards sent her in respectfully as if they had seen a high-ranking official, without even asking a question.

He didn't even ask her what she was doing in Ningzhou City.

This is a treatment Zi Tong has never enjoyed before.

After sighing in his heart for a while, Zitong stopped thinking about it, retracted his thoughts and wait-and-see gaze, looked around and walked towards the west of the city.

The west side of Ningzhou City is where gangs gather and where people from all over the world go. There is a branch of the world-renowned intelligence organization and the wealthiest force in Daqi, the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce.

The Kyushu Chamber of Commerce, an alliance composed of merchants, sells everything in the Chamber of Commerce, weapons, exercises, herbs...even rare treasures that are only circulated in the rivers and lakes can be bought from here.

Intelligence is naturally one of them.

And now Zitong is going to the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce to buy information related to the Gu family.

What surprised Zitong was that before she could reach the door of the chamber of commerce, a plant vine suddenly wrapped around her ankle, causing Zitong to stop.

"Ok?"

Looking down at the vines wrapped around her feet, Zitong frowned slightly.

She looked into the distance along the vines, and finally in the dark alley between two houses not far away, she saw a strange man with a sackcloth on his body and hair like seaweed.

"...Shan Teng."

"Yo, good day, newcomer."

The man named Shanto cracked an extremely exaggerated smile, which was absolutely impossible for a human being.

He raised his head, looked at Zi Tong in the distance and greeted her.

And the word 'Xialiu' engraved in his pupils is particularly eye-catching.

This person was turned into a ghost by Gu Chen and arranged into one of the twelve ghost months, the sixth of the last string, Shan Teng.

Zitong met Shantou once after becoming a ghost, and didn't communicate much after that, but she didn't expect to see Shantou here.

Seeing Shantou's exaggerated performance, Zitong sighed. She lowered the bamboo hat on her head and walked into the dark alley into the shadows, asking Shantou:

"What are you doing here? Why are you stopping me?"

"Young master asked me to keep an eye on you and to report the situation to him at any time, so I came here. As for stopping you... of course it is to protect you."

Shantou grinned.

Shanto possesses the vampire technique of manipulating plants, and at the same time can initially control some birds and other animals.

When the bronze mirror on Zitong's body exceeds the communication distance, Zitong needs to report the situation to Shantou, and then Shantou releases a carrier pigeon to report the situation to Gu Chen who is still in Dan'an City.

That's why Shantou is here.

"Where is Iron Bull?"

Zi Tong asked again.

Tie Niu, the fifth last chord of the Twelve Ghost Moons, a huge ghost with very powerful power, should have been an inseparable partner with Shantou, but there is no Tie Niu here.

Shanto replied: "Let him stay in the mountains. His size can't enter human cities."

"Is he all right by himself?"

Unlike other ghosts, Tie Niu's IQ was not very good after he became a ghost. If it weren't for the fact that his strength was so much stronger than Shanteng, Tie Niu might be the sixth one.

That's why Shanto usually works with Tie Niu as Tie Niu's external brain.

But now that the 'external brain' has gone to Ningzhou City by himself, Zitong is a little worried about the situation of that stupid big guy.

"Don't worry, he was ordered by the young master not to go out of the mountain, and he is probably still sleeping soundly in the house, no problem."

"Okay..." Zitong stopped asking, and turned to the business: "What did you mean by protecting me?"

"Hey hey, well, it's interesting to say it, you come with me first."

Shantou didn't answer directly, he gave a chuckle, stood up with his waist bent, like an old man in his seventies and eighties, and moved slowly towards the depths of the dark alley.

When walking, there was a rustling sound under Shanteng's feet, and the purple pupils narrowed slightly, looking at Shanteng whose feet were covered by the rags on his body.

The last time I met Shantou, Zitong was "fortunate" to see the whole appearance of Shantou. The body hidden by his clothes is no longer human. His body and bones are all closer to plants. It's like a tree person.

Similarly, his feet were no longer feet, they were a bunch of wriggling vines, driving him to exercise.

Just seeing each other once, Zitong could never forget the scene that made her sane, and Gu Chen couldn't bear it either, so every time Twelve Ghost Moons were held in a meeting, Shanto would wear something on his body to cover his body. His body is tightly covered.

Shaking her body, Zi Tong forced herself to forget about the unpleasant scene, and walked in behind Shan Teng.

After walking a certain distance and passing through a deserted alley, Zi Tong followed Shan Teng to an underground place.

It was near the waterway of Ningzhou City, and there was an abandoned waterway. Judging from the straw mats around the waterway, it should have been the place where beggars and refugees lived, but now there is no one there.

Smelling the bloody smell remaining in the waterway, Zitong couldn't help frowning.

"You...you put the beggar here..."

"Don't worry, they're fine, I made some tricks to let them go."

Shantou knew what Zitong was worried about, so he explained casually, and then saw Zitong's surprised look, Shantou grinned and said:

"What, thought I'd 'solve' them?"

"I was worried, so why didn't you do it?"

Zitong asked bluntly.

Shanto replied with a smile: "Because I was also a beggar before."

He just said this sentence, and then he didn't explain again, but Zitong understood everything, and didn't ask a word after that, silently following behind Shantou.

There was no words all the way, and the two of them hadn't walked for a long time in the abandoned waterway, Shantou stopped, pointed to a dark corner not far away, and said:
"We have arrived."

"...so what exactly are you going to do?"

There is no need to look at what is in the corner, just by smelling the extremely thick smell of blood mixed with the smell of plants and sweat in the air, Zitong knows that there is someone there.

A man who has been tortured by blood vines and is now hanging himself with plants.

The miserable purple pupil of that person was unwilling to see him, she just wondered what Shanto meant by doing so.

Seeing Zitong's serious face, Shantou restrained his smile a little, and said a little boringly:

"You are really boring, can't you see, this guy... is the deacon of the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce."

As Shantou said, he controlled the vine to light up the torch above the corner, reflecting the appearance of the unlucky man.

Judging from the man's clothes, this is indeed the deacon of the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce.

Hearing what Shanto said, Zitong's eyebrows frowned even tighter. She stared at Shantou with wide eyes and asked:
"Why did you arrest the deacon of the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce?! Didn't the young master say that we won't cause trouble!"

"Don't get excited, I didn't find him, he found me. The Kyushu Chamber of Commerce is indeed the most well-informed force. Not long after I entered the city, they came to the door to arrest me, but the result... hehe. "

Shanto said lightly, the information contained in the words surprised Zi Tong.

She asked in disbelief:

"Catch you as soon as you enter the city? Don't they already know our existence?!"

"Don't think about it, they don't know the existence of 'ghosts', and they don't know about the son, but it's because of this that this matter is interesting, isn't it?"

Shanto approached the semi-conscious Chamber of Commerce deacon, lifted the deacon's jaw with a vine, and continued:
"This guy doesn't know much, but according to him, the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce has a method of distinguishing inhumans. When I approached the Chamber of Commerce, they used this method to find me, and then they found me... So, Are you saying I'm protecting you?"

Shantou laughed, Zitong remained silent and did not speak.

Shanteng is not a human being. Even if Zitong could barely be called a human before this, she is definitely not human now, so if Zitong steps into the territory of the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce, she will also be discovered by the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce, and then found .

At that time, without the blood ghost technique as convenient as Shantou, if she wants to solve the crisis, she may have to use more drastic methods.

Once things get serious, it will definitely bring trouble to the young master.

In this way, Shantou is indeed protecting Zitong.

Protect her from being scolded and punished by the young master.
