In the spring of the 22nd year of Daoguang's reign, the British army invaded Wusongkou, where the Yangtze River flows out to sea.
They wanted to break through Wusong, enter the Yangtze River, and invade mainland China.
Chen Huacheng, the Jiangnan admiral who was stationed in Wusong, escaped from the battle due to the governor of Liangjiang.
As a result, his entire army was wiped out and he died for the country.
Before his death, Chen Huacheng handed a small silver box in his arms to his confidant Li Dequan, asking him to deliver it to Jiangnan Governor Liu Xianjun.
In fact, Li Dequan was a fighter before he joined the army.
He was smart and good at disguise.
After he escaped from Wusong, he found a small inn to stay, and he had already coveted the silver box given to him by Chen Huacheng.
He asked the waiter to help him buy a set of clothes and gave the waiter a few copper coins as a reward.
After buying the clothes, the waiter returned to Li Dequan's guest room and saw Li Dequan wiping the wound on his upper body.
Seeing Li Dequan's back, the waiter was startled: "Sir, why is there a palm print on your back?"
Li Dequan's voice was cold: "It's none of your business, go down."
After watching the waiter leave, Li Dequan closed the door and touched his back.
There is also a story about the origin of the palm print on his back.
It was ten years ago that he encountered a fierce ghost during his last fight and was captured by the ghost in the tomb.
On that occasion, two of his good brothers died in the tomb.
There is a rule in their fighting business: If a ghost scratches his back, he will not be allowed to enter the tomb for ten years.
It was for this reason that he later joined the army.
After changing his clothes, he sat by the bed and took out the silver box given to him by Chen Huacheng.
The silver box is square and has a pattern in the middle.
The decoration is a bit blurry and I can't clearly see what it is.
He slowly opened the silver box and saw that there was only a piece of folded brocade in the silver box.
He took out the brocade and unfolded it to take a look.
Suddenly, a chill ran down his spine and his face instantly turned pale.
There was actually a woman's face on the brocade.
This woman has thick eyebrows, big eyes, a delicate nose and a small mouth.
Strangely, her eyes are moving, and the slightly upturned corners of her mouth have a hint of teasing.
Li Dequan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and thought to himself that he had seen a ghost in broad daylight.
However, he was a tomb robber with a good mentality and courage, so he was not frightened and was ready to burn the brocade with fire.
Burned.
At this time, the woman on the brocade actually spoke: "Master, if you save me, I will give you my life."
Li Dequan couldn't help but was stunned.
He thought to himself, you're a ghost and you're asking me to promise you your life.
He took out the fire certificate and was about to take action.
"Sir, please don't."
The woman on the brocade begged, "Don't kill me.
I have a lot of gold and silver, I guarantee you won't be able to use them all in several lifetimes."
A trace of greed flashed in Li Dequan's eyes, and he was a little moved: "Where are your gold and silver treasures?"
The woman whispered something.
Li Dequan's face was full of excitement after hearing this: "You didn't lie to me."
"How dare I lie to you, sir."
"If you lie to me, I will burn you and your soul will be gone."
As he said that, Li Dequan covered the silver box again.
The moment he closed the box, he didn't notice that a cold look flashed on the face of the woman in the box. smile.
That night, Li Dequan left the inn, prepared a fast horse, and headed directly to Jinling.

After running around all night, he finally arrived at Jinling City.
But as soon as he entered the city, he was blocked by a young Taoist priest.
The young Taoist priest blocked Li Dequan's path and refused to let him go.
Li Dequan had no choice but to curse: "A good dog, if you don't block the way, are you looking for death?"
The young Taoist priest stared at him closely and said, "You've seen a ghost, haven't you?"
Suddenly, Li Dequan shuddered and refused to admit it: "No."
The young Taoist priest stared at him and smiled: "You have a lot of Yin energy, and there is a Yin energy between your eyebrows.
I can guarantee that you will die before tonight."
Li Dequan felt nervous and thought to himself that it was not good.
In his opinion, he had indeed encountered a ghost, and the Taoist priest in front of him didn't look like a charlatan, and he did have some skills.
He cupped his hands and said, "Taoist Master, I have indeed seen a ghost."
The young Taoist priest smiled slightly: "I admit it now."
"I'm really sorry just now."
"It's okay, you're just fascinated by ghosts."
Seeing that the other party was giving him the steps to go down, Li Dequan nodded quickly: "Yes, it's just a ghost.
You are right, Taoist priest."
The young Taoist priest smiled: "You don't need to call me Taoist Priest.
I'm just an ordinary Taoist priest.
My last name is Dongfang and my name is Yu.
You can just call me Dongfang Yu."
Li Dequan laughed and said: "Taoist Master Dongfang, you said I saw a ghost, is there any way to help me deal with that ghost?"
Dongfang Yu nodded slightly and said in a hoarse voice: "Of course there is a way."
"Where is the ghost now?"
"It's on you."
Li Dequan completely believed Dongfang Yu's words and knelt down directly and said: "Taoist Master Dongfang, you must save me."
"I actually said that if there was a way, I would definitely save you, but I'm a little hungry now."
Dongfang Yu said lightly.
"Come on, Taoist Priest, I'll treat you to dinner."
Dongfang Yu pointed to a small stall on the roadside and said, "Just have a bowl of wontons."
After saying that, he walked straight to the wonton stall and sat down.
The owner of the wonton stall was a middle-aged man.
He pointed to Dongfang and said: "Smelly Taoist priest, if you don't have money, get out of here."
Li Dequan took out a few coins from his pocket and threw them to him and said: "Shut your mouth, I'll treat this Taoist priest to eat."
The owner of the wonton stall changed his face instantly: "Okay, sir."
After saying that, he went to eat the wontons.
Dongfang Yu looked around and said to Li Dequan: "Can you show me that box?"
Li Dequan quickly took out the silver box and handed it to Dongfang Yu.
At this time, Dongfang Yu was like a living god in his eyes.
Dongfang Yu slowly opened the box and murmured: "What is your name, Zi Qing?
Zi Qing is Anna's previous name.
It was mentioned in the previous chapter..."
Li Dequan's mouth was half open.
He could not hear the female ghost's voice, but could only hear the conversation between Dongfang Yu and the female ghost.
Dongfang Yu's expression suddenly changed as she spoke: "What do you mean?
Why can't I save you?

You can't stay in the earthly world."
As soon as he finished speaking, the silver box in his hand disappeared and was replaced by a cloud of black energy, which shot directly towards the outside of Jinling City.
Li Dequan was so frightened that he fell off the bench, sat down on the ground, and said with a trembling voice: "This" Dongfang Yu frowned, pulled out the peach wood sword behind him, muttered something, and chased after him.
The black energy jumped very quickly.
After leaving the city, he turned right along the official road and entered a mountain outside the city.
Dongfang Yu sighed: "Nie Zhan is really shameless.
It seems that I can only use the forbidden technique taught to me by my master
