Chapter 172: 113, 114. Ghost Servant wanders like a zombie, tigers and leopards show their prowess, animal skin painting (Major Chapter - Subscription Request)_3

"When I tried to lead the army across the official road, through the wilderness, to reach the county town, those wandering Ghost Servants were attracted over."

Madam Tong said, "If it’s like this in the wild, then will the county town be..."

Her face was full of worry, and she dared not finish her sentence.

Zhao Hua calmly said, "Sister-in-law, it shouldn’t lead to a massacre of the town."

"If this is indeed the pattern of the Ghost Servants, then... the bigger the city, the more Ghost Servants it will attract."

"A smaller county town would inevitably encounter fewer Ghost Servants."

"Moreover, without rationality, the Ghost Servants wouldn’t hide among the crowd as before, so... the danger is actually less."

Ouyang Sha said, "My son-in-law’s analysis is correct."

Zhao Hua scratched his head and said, "I learned it all from Big Brother."

Ouyang Sha wanted to glare at him fiercely but found nothing to glare at... Song Cheng, after all, was a monster, a big monster bringing out a little monster was not surprising.

The atmosphere was somewhat suffocating.

Zhao Hua thought for a moment and suddenly said, "Why don’t I lead the Tiger Leopard Cavalry out of the city to clear the road to the county town?"

Ouyang Sha, who hadn’t glared his eyes before, now really glared them wide, blowing his beard and saying, "You brat, you’ve just reached the Form Realm, what are you showing off for?"

Zhao Hua laughed, "Well... if Father-in-law is worried, why don’t you come along with your son-in-law?"

After speaking, he said seriously, "Great Hall Master Tie is injured, Big Brother needs to train soldiers in the city; now only Father-in-law and I can take the lead."

Ouyang Sha said speechlessly, "You just got married yesterday! Is your bed even warm yet?"

Zhao Hua lowered his head, showing a gentle expression, and said softly, "Chuchu hopes her husband is a hero. At this moment, how could she like someone who refuses responsibility?"

The Ouyang referred to Ouyang Chuchu.

Ouyang Sha knew he was speaking the truth, and now if they were to head out of the city for a cleanup, the best option was pairing the Tiger Leopard Cavalry with experts.

And there were only three who could command the Tiger Leopard Cavalry: Song Cheng, Zhao Hua, and Yuan Shouyu.

Not to mention Song Cheng, Yuan Shouyu was the son of the Great Barbarian King; how could he lead the troops?

So the only one who could act was Zhao Hua.

"Alright, alright! Let’s make a trip." Ouyang Sha slapped his thigh, quite unwilling but with no choice but to agree.

Zhao Hua said, "Thank you, Father-in-law."

...

...

Zhao Hua’s expedition was dangerous because the wilderness outside the city started to become unfamiliar.

Ghost Servants of the Force Realm and Form Realm were everywhere, and their forms no longer confined to human shapes.

Therefore, the Barbarian King’s hostage was no longer suitable to participate.

Before setting out, Song Cheng came to the Tiger and Leopard Camp to practice the Army Formation with Zhao Hua, doing his utmost to help him further control this formidable army, making up for Zhao Hua’s previous inadequacies.

Though the two brothers were merely sworn brothers, by this point, they were as close as real siblings.

Song Cheng taught very earnestly.

He had thoroughly studied all the military books available in the Prefectural City.

If he couldn’t see the rise and fall of "military momentum," perhaps he would be a third-rate armchair general, but with such data combined, his comprehension of "military momentum" became extremely terrifying.

Every casual pointer of his would provoke deep reflection from Zhao Hua, and after comprehending, his eyes would show immense admiration.

In Hua’s eyes, Big Brother was a god.

Being alongside such a big brother, his originally foreseeable life suddenly sparkled with brilliance, becoming dazzling, like a firework shooting into the sky, short-lived... yet radiant.

Finally, the teaching and learning were almost complete.

Song Cheng patted Zhao Hua’s shoulder, saying, "You are going out of the city on my behalf."

Zhao Hua said seriously, "Ghost Servants are cunning. Though some lose their rationality, there are still some who can maintain it... Big Brother must hold the fort in the city; no one else can replace you."

"After I leave, I wish for Chuchu to move to the An Family to stay."

"Big Brother urged me to have children early. Last night... I really gave my best."

"If Sister-in-law wants to stay, then let her stay." Song Cheng laughed, "As for children, what a coincidence."

"Who knows, maybe your Sister-in-law Tong and Chuchu might give birth at the same time."

Zhao Hua laughed, "Then if they indeed give birth at the same time, and both are boys, let them be brothers; if both are girls, they can be sisters."

Song Cheng laughed, "If one is a boy and the other a girl, they can become betrothed as child siblings."

Zhao Hua took a deep breath, saying, "Great! This way, Big Brother and I will be both brothers and in-laws."

After saying that, the two brothers exchanged tea as a sign of respect, then mounted their horses.

Three thousand Tiger Leopards raced like the wind, charging out through the north gate, gradually disappearing in the distance...

Song Cheng watched the army leave with a complicated look, then went to the temporary barracks near the An Residence...

There, two new armies awaited his training.

This time, besides the cavalry, there were also spear and shield soldiers.

...

...

After a bout of busy work, upon returning to the An Family.

Ouyang Chuchu, still a bride yesterday, watched her husband go on an expedition today, and before setting out, he instructed her to stay at the An Family for a while.

So she came over.

Miss An arranged her in the inner residence, right next to her own courtyard, in the one where Lady Zhushan used to live.

...

Song Cheng, although he had adopted a new lifestyle, still remained very disciplined.

Training soldiers, cultivating, using the Ancient Mirror to patrol the Prefectural City to check for any infiltrating Ghost Servants.

Facts proved that after losing rationality, the Ghost Servants could no longer perform "assassinations," which required intelligence.

The initial batch of Ghost Servants that assassinated Lady Zhushan were still humanoid and rational.

Later, the "Invisible Ghost Servant" assassinated Song Cheng entirely due to Su Houzhang controlling from the shadows, but such Ghost Servants were extremely rare.

Later on, during the Ghost Tide, Ghost Servants infiltrated merely because they happened to fly, entering the city from the nearest distance.

Now that the Ghost Servants around the Prefectural City were cleared out, naturally, there were none left.
