I become a god in another world

Chapter 372 Preparing to travel
Chapter 372

The strength of Zhao Fusheng herself is unknown, but it is known that she has at least one ghost arm, two rare disaster-level door gods, and a terrifying ghost car.

Ding Datong had initially estimated that the level was above disaster level, but now he vaguely felt that he had underestimated Zhao Fusheng's strength. The Ghost Cart could mark him and leave him without any power to resist, so the existence of the Ghost Cart was at least at disaster level.

——According to this calculation, Zhao Fusheng, like Kuai Manzhou, is a terrifying ghost rider who controls at least two disaster-level evil spirits.

Putting aside the strength of Kuai Manzhou and Meng Po, Wu Shaochun is a ghost rider who can control evil spirits of the disaster level. He has the same strength as Ding Datong, and his condition is more stable than Ding Datong. He can talk and laugh freely, and is not affected by the evil spirits at all. In this respect, he is much better than Ding Datong.

The strength of the twin brothers is unknown, can they dare to get close to the evil spirit?

This kind of courage is much greater than that of ordinary people.

Liu Yizhen had a strange ghost coffin with great power, and he dared to carry evil spirits on his back.

He can live with extremely evil creatures day and night and is not afraid of evil spirits. Just based on his courage and the ghost coffin, Ding Datong dare not underestimate him.

As a result, Zhang Chuanshi, who had not taken any action but only talked a lot, seemed somewhat unfathomable in the eyes of the people in Changping County...

……

After a long time, Ding Datong finally received all the messages.

He sighed:
"Our trip will focus on Zhao Fusheng. We will do whatever she says..." When he said this, he felt a little ashamed and unwilling.

After all, the two of them have different identities and statuses. He is the real lord of a county, while Zhao Fusheng was just an unknown person before.

But Te Datong was the general of a county after all, so this unwilling thought only flashed through his mind and was quickly suppressed by him.

He knew clearly that although Zhao Fusheng was only a county magistrate at this time, if the ghost fetus case was successfully sent to the imperial capital under her suppression, her strength would sooner or later be noticed by the people in the imperial capital.

At that time, Zhang Chuanshi said that she should be canonized as a Jin general. Ding Datong thought that the old man was crazy. But now it seems that with the court currently short of manpower, she might really be canonized as a Jin general.

When the time comes, the two of them will switch positions, and he will still be a subordinate - now he is just adapting to his identity in advance.

What's more, the strong are respected by ghost riders, so it is not shameful for him to bow his head.

As soon as Ding Datong finished speaking, the others all nodded as if it was natural.

"That's natural."

"..." Although he had adjusted his mentality, Ding Datong was still unhappy when he saw these former subordinates immediately change their attitudes, "Humph!"

He snorted softly:
"Forget it. Lord Zhao said that he will leave for the Imperial Capital early tomorrow morning. If there is nothing else, let's go our separate ways."

Everyone nodded and stood up one by one.

Zhong Yao and the other two had been away from Changping County for a long time. Although they did not suffer much during their stay in Wan'an County, and Zhong Yao even managed to subdue the evil spirit, the fear and anxiety during this period had been extremely tiring, and they now felt a little sleepy.

The three brothers left one after another, and Wang Xu, Jiang Ying and others also left one by one.

Tao Lifang walked last. Before leaving, he looked back at Ding Datong.

Ding Datong dismissed the people, but he did not leave. Instead, he sat slumped in the hall. When Tao Lifang turned around to look at him, he seemed to sense Tao Lifang's gaze and turned his head away as well.

The former superiors and subordinates looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

Ding Datong has been in Changping County for two years - in other words, he has been controlling ghosts for quite some time.

On the surface, his condition seems stable, but no one knows what's going on inside.

This time he agreed to transport the ghost fetus. Given the dangerous situation of the ghost fetus, Ding Datong could be said to be risking his life.

Why did he work so hard?
Tao Lifang didn't believe he was doing it for fame or fortune.

For people like them, fame and fortune are not worth mentioning when it comes to life and death. Ding Datong probably wanted to exchange the merit of delivering the ghost fetus for the brand of a golden general to stabilize the ghost in his body.

This idea coincides with Tao Lifang's.

Now that there is a person who can perform ghost seal right in front of them, the two are naturally tempted.

……

The people from Changping County gradually dispersed, and on the other side, Zhao Fusheng also simply washed up and prepared to rest.

Before going to bed, Kuai Manzhou appeared in her room at some point and sat on the roof beam.

This child was always elusive, so Zhao Fusheng pretended not to see her. He shook off the quilt, sat on the bed, and told the child:

"Help me put out the candle later."

The child slowly descended from the roof beam, a ghost rope hanging below her, she was hanging in the air like a swing:

"Fusheng, they are talking, mentioning you, me, and Meng Po--"

The little girl swung her bare feet back and forth and mentioned the private meeting in Changping County.

Zhao Fusheng smiled and showed no surprise.

They had just arrived, so it would be strange if the people in Changping County did not inquire about them privately.

She crawled into the bed, leaving only her head outside:
"Let them talk. Go to bed early. We have to travel early tomorrow morning."

"Oh." The child responded obediently.

She stretched out her hand and a black silk thread swayed in the air and rolled towards the candlelight.

The burning candle was immediately extinguished, and the child's figure disappeared in the room.

After a long time, the figure of the child swinging on the swing reappeared in the air. She kicked her legs and flew high up. When she pounced on the bed, she slowly fell down.

When it fell, it turned into a hazy phantom of a child, gently lying on Zhao Fusheng's quilt, and whispered:
"Fusheng, I can't sleep."

In the darkness, Zhao Fusheng's eyelashes moved. She paused as she was about to lift her hand from the quilt and pretend to be asleep.

The child closed his eyes and gently put his arms around her.

I don’t know how much time had passed, but the breathing of the child who had been shouting that he couldn’t sleep began to become longer and longer.

……

After a night, when Zhao Fusheng woke up, Kuai Manzhou was no longer in the room.

It was just daybreak and the people of Changping County had already prepared hot water for her to wash.

Upon learning that she had woken up, Ding Datong, who had not slept all night, quickly rushed to her room. When Zhao Fusheng finished washing up and came out of the room, Ding Datong had been waiting outside for a while.

Zhao Fusheng had sensed his arrival, but he didn't point it out. He just glanced at him before stepping out of the door:
"What about the rest?"

Ding Datong said:

"The other lords from Wan'an County who came with you have already gotten up. They are waiting in the hall now, but they are afraid of disturbing you."

Liu Yizhen and others had indeed gotten up two quarters of an hour ago, but were still waiting outside.

Last night, Ding Datong had learned from the three Zhong Yao brothers that these people were able to control evil spirits and had extraordinary powers. However, they were all convinced by Zhao Fusheng at this moment, which showed that she had a very high prestige in the hearts of the people in Wan'an County.

Thinking of this, Ding Datong became even more respectful.

"Last night, I learned that several adults were coming. Changping County was not well prepared, so I prepared some side dishes. I don't know if they are to your taste. Now-"

Zhao Fusheng smiled and said:
"Master Ding, there is no need to be so particular. We will not be staying in Changping County for long, so there is no need to go to such great lengths."

Ding Datong also laughed:
"Lord Zhao is right. I will have to trouble you all in Wan'an County for this trip to the imperial capital. You don't have to be so polite. Just call me Old Ding, just like Lord Feng in the prefecture." Zhao Fusheng looked at him with a smile.

Last night, Kuai Manzhou mentioned that the people of Changping County had held a small private meeting after the ghost fetus was subdued, and had assessed the strength of the people in Wan'an County. This was the reason why Ding Datong was being polite today.

Although this person looks careless, he is not a brainless person.

The specific mention of the address given to him by Feng Guangchong of the provincial governor was to imply that Zhao Fusheng's trip to Beijing was also a path to promotion.

These were not big deals. Zhao Fusheng understood his hint and didn't say much to him. He just nodded.

Ding Datong secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"The ship is ready, but——"

Zhao Fusheng asked:

"Just what?"

Ding Datong hesitated for a moment, but he saw Zhao Fusheng staring at him from the corner of his eye, as if waiting for his answer, so he quickly said:

"There's just one thing—"

"Is there a problem?" Zhao Fusheng raised his eyebrows.

"No, no." Ding Datong waved his hand and then said:

"There is just one thing I need to discuss with Lord Zhao first."

After saying this, he rubbed his hands twice and forced a stiff smile on his face:
"We were originally planning to bring along the ghost fetus this time, so the people on the trip were mainly from the Demon Suppression Division, supplemented by the ship's cooks, handymen, boatmen, etc., for a total of 46 people."

Zhao Fusheng walked in front and nodded, indicating that he should continue.

"But last night, the Lord suppressed the ghost fetus, and the news spread——"

There are many gossipy people in Changping County, and last night Zhao Fusheng intended to show some of his strength to intimidate the people in Changping County in order to avoid unnecessary trouble on the road later. Therefore, he did not hide from others when suppressing the ghost fetus.

In this way, it was not surprising that the news spread.

"and then?"

"After learning that Lord Zhao had suppressed the ghost fetus, an old friend of mine wanted to ask me for a favor."

Ding Datong said with a little embarrassment:

"He has a younger generation. Something happened at home this time. He wants to go back home, but the journey is long and he is afraid of getting into trouble. So for safety reasons, he wants to go with us."

If it was the earlier mission to transport the ghost fetus, the people from the Demon Suppression Division could hardly protect themselves and naturally would not be able to take care of this trivial matter.

But as soon as the news of the people in Wan'an County suppressing the ghost fetus spread last night, many people came.

The old friend mentioned by Ding Datong is one of them.

"How many people?" Zhao Fusheng asked.

She neither objected nor agreed. Ding Datong analyzed it secretly in his heart, and when he heard her question, he hurriedly answered:
"They are a couple, with two children, relatives from both sides, and a few servants, a total of about ten people."

After saying that, he looked up secretly at Zhao Fusheng nervously.

"If it doesn't work, forget it--" Ding Datong said to himself, then felt that this request was too sudden, and hurriedly said again.

"It's okay. If you can't push it away, you can go with me, but don't cause trouble. If you don't obey and ruin things, I won't care whose face it is."

Ding Datong didn't expect that she would agree, and was immediately overjoyed:
"Don't worry, sir. That won't happen. If that's the case, I will deal with these people without your help."

He said lightly.

While the two were talking, they had already reached the hall.

A large table had been set up in the hall overnight, and it was filled with a variety of breakfast dishes.

Ding Datong said it was just a casual 'side dish', but judging from the wide variety of dishes, Changping County had put a lot of thought into this meal.

When Wu Shaochun and others saw Zhao Fusheng, they all stood up quickly. Zhao Fusheng raised his palm and gestured for everyone to eat, and he sat down next to the child.

After everyone had filled their stomachs, the sky was already slightly brighter.

The carriages for the trip had already been prepared. Because there were so many people, there were seven or eight carriages in total, which were lined up outside the gate of the Demon Suppression Bureau. A long queue of people was parked there, attracting many people nearby to watch - what's more, some peddlers who had gotten up early had already started walking around nearby, tentatively starting to hawk their wares.

During this time, Ding Datong saw Liu Yizhen carrying the ghost coffin on his back, and hurriedly said warmly and flatteringly:

"Liu Lingshi's coffin is quite heavy, why not let Zhong Yao carry it——"

Zhong Yao nodded and took a step forward.

Liu Yizhen stepped aside and refused:

"No need, I'm used to carrying this coffin, no one else can carry it."

Zhong Yao had lived in Wan'an County for some time and knew that Liu Yizhen carried the coffin with him wherever he went. In addition, the coffin was very unusual and was most likely his special item, so it was natural that he would not want to give it to others. Therefore, she did not show any embarrassment when she was rejected.

Everyone got on the bus one by one.

Zhao Fusheng also pulled Kuai Manzhou to get on the car. At this moment, someone suddenly shouted in the distance:

"Selling candied haws——"

This kind of thing is a snack, but Wan'an County had suffered a robbery before, and the peddlers have almost disappeared and are rarely seen. Therefore, it is a rare thing in the eyes of the people in Wan'an County.

But for a large county with a stable life like Changping County, there are many snacks like this.

When Kuai Manzhou heard the call, he turned his head involuntarily before getting on the car.

But she had never eaten this thing. She just took a look at it and climbed back into the car with her short legs.

Such a subtle action did not escape Zhao Fusheng's notice. She was stunned for a moment, then turned around and waved:

"The candied haws seller, come here."

Ding Datong's attention was on her. When he heard her shout, he immediately said loudly:
"Pull over the guy selling candied haws."

The child's eyes immediately sparkled.

Several emissaries from the Demon Suppression Division dragged the hawker who had been selling goods over like wolves and tigers. The hawker was so scared that he turned pale and trembled all over.

Ding Datong was used to reading people's faces. When he saw this scene, he knew that Zhao Fusheng wanted to buy candy for Kuai Manzhou.

He secretly regretted his miscalculation this morning.

In his heart, Kuai Manzhou is no longer a child. She can control a fierce ghost - and it is very likely a double-disaster-level fierce ghost that is rare in the world. Such a person is extraordinary and can get whatever he wants. How can he treat Kuai Manzhou as an ordinary child and think about buying candy for her?

At this moment, Zhao Fusheng's action reminded him, and he quickly said:

"Sir, I'm here to buy—"

Kuai Manzhou was staring at Zhao Fusheng with her sparkling eyes. She was very smart and guessed what Zhao Fusheng was doing, so a smile appeared on her face.

Upon hearing Ding Datong's words, the child's expression turned from sunny to cloudy, and he turned his head and stared at him fiercely:

"Mind your own business!"
