Nightmare Attack

Chapter 1374
Chatting with General Yuwen again, everyone wanted to try to get more useful information, but General Yuwen was very vigilant, so everyone had to give up.

Later, General Yuwen summoned a few government soldiers, and after giving a few words to the leader, he asked the government soldiers to take Jiangcheng and his party to leave to understand the situation in the city, while the remaining few people were left behind.

Looking at the people in Jiangcheng who were gradually walking away, Shao Tong's eyes flicked over the backs of the five people one by one, paused for a while on Jiangcheng, and finally stopped behind the person named Wang Fugui.

"This little brother, what's your name?" Zhang Qizheng smiled and greeted the soldiers who led them. He was the leader of the soldiers who were handed over by General Yuwen.

This person is not tall, but his eyes are piercing, and his brows have the evil spirit that is unique to a warrior on the battlefield. However, he did not dare to neglect the distinguished guests invited by Lord Hou, and immediately replied: " Don't dare to take it, Zhao Yidao, who is temporarily on duty in the mansion, is actually a soldier."

Zhang Qizheng saw that this man's face was rough and he was quite old, so he deliberately inquired about the news, and said with a smile: "So it's Zhao Zhishou, I've heard that Lord Hou manages the army well, today I can see General Yuwen, Zhao Zhishou and other brothers, The soldiers are neat and tidy, and the courage is extraordinary, the rumors are indeed true."

Zhao Bingtou is a rough man, when has he ever been complimented like this, especially when he was a distinguished guest invited by Master Hou, he was a little flattered for a moment, and quickly waved his hands, "Don't dare to be, our brothers are all rough people, we can't compare to General Yuwen, General Yuwen is Lord Hou's favorite general."

"I was lucky enough to come to the Hou's mansion to serve as an servant, thanks to the compassionate kindness of Lord Hou and General Yuwen. Thinking that I am getting older, my body is not as strong as in previous years, and it is not appropriate to do the job of clearing up the rebels, so I put I called Jinfu, let me do some chores within my ability."

Between the lines in Zhao Bing's first words were gratitude to Zhennan Hou and General Yuwen's kindness. Jiang Cheng and the others kept their expressions on their faces, but they heard new information from it: clearing up the rebels.

Perhaps because he felt that he had talked too much, Zhao Bing shut up belatedly, and the group left Hou's mansion quickly and walked to a street that was still popular.

When he came to a tavern, Jiang Cheng took out two pieces of broken silver from his pocket with a smile, then stuffed it into Zhao Bingtou's hand, and said naturally: "It's fate for everyone to get together. Zhao Zhishou took a few brothers along the way." It's hard work, find a place to sit and eat something, you don't need to accompany us, let's just walk around, it's nearby, we won't go far."

Unexpectedly, Zhao Bingtou, who had a good attitude just now, sternly refused, and pushed the money back, "This can't be done, the Hou Mansion has strict rules, and the order of the Hou Ye is the sky of Luo'an City, masters, don't make things difficult for us Running errands."

Perhaps because he felt that his words were too serious, after a while, Zhao Bing put on a smile again and said, "Masters are all honored guests of the Marquis. Now it is no different than before. Strange things happen frequently in Luo'an City, and people are panicked. Once Master Something went wrong with us, even if we have 10 heads, we can't atone for it."

It was originally a polite remark, but it changed in Fatty's ears. The experience during this period made him nervous. He couldn't help but imagine the scene where Zhao Bingtou grew 10 heads, and then inevitably put himself Successfully scared.

Seeing that Zhao Bingtou couldn't accommodate, Li Bai also stood up and smoothed things over, "Zhao Zhishou is dedicated to his duties, I admire you, and I'll trouble you to walk with us."

"I don't know what to do..." Zhao Bing looked around, they were standing at a crossroads now, "I don't know where the masters want to go?"

"Pharmacy store." Li Bai said.

"I want to sit in a teahouse." Zhang Qizheng thumped his waist while mocking himself helplessly, "I'm old and useless, and I'm tired after walking for a while. I'll order a pot of good tea in the teahouse and wait You are all right."

"I want to go to the bookstore in the city to read books. I wonder if there will be any special books in the bookstore in Luo'an City." Yao Shunyu pretended to be serious and eager to learn.

Hearing that these people were going to different places, Zhao Bingtou, the leader, was a little embarrassed. After all, counting himself, there were only 4 soldiers brought out this time. Even if one stared at the other, once the last two returned If they want to separate, it's not enough, and it's too late to go back to the manor to find someone now.

Most importantly, he didn't want to give General Yuwen the impression that he was incompetent.

Jiang Cheng gave Fatty a look, and the latter understood, and shouted loudly, "I'm hungry, I'm going to eat, I've been to the Hou Mansion for so long, let alone food, I didn't even drink my saliva."

Hearing the fat man speak so loudly, Zhao Bingtou was terrified, wishing to cover his mouth, "I said... I said this master, let's keep our voice down, Master Hou is not neglecting everyone, but Hou Ye in recent years Master Hou's old illness has relapsed, coupled with the frequent occurrence of strange incidents in the city, Master Hou is overly worried, and this... makes all the masters feel unwell."

Seeing this, Jiang Cheng stood up and comforted him: "Wang Fugui, I don't think we should make things difficult for the guard Zhao. I think it's good. You just follow me, and the two of us are together, so that the guard Zhao won't be embarrassed."

"Okay, I'll give you this face." The fat man replied.

"Zhou Shou, the two of us don't have any goals, we just want to walk casually on the street." Jiang Cheng looked at Zhao Shou, his face was full of reassurance.

After everyone determined their target, they parted ways at the crossroads. Zhao Dushou was abducted by the mature and prudent Zhang Qizheng. A dull-looking young soldier led Jiang Cheng and Fatty to wander aimlessly in the street.

Jiang Cheng used scraps of silver to buy some random food from street stalls, and ate while walking with the fat man. After noticing that the Fubing was secretly swallowing his saliva, Jiang Cheng gave the rest to the Fubing under the pretext that he couldn't finish it. , After a few times of evasion, the young mansion soldier looked left and right, seeing that no one was paying attention, he accepted it half-heartedly.

The manpower was short, and the government soldiers were too embarrassed to follow too closely. After a few conversations, everyone became acquainted. What's more, he felt that Jiangcheng was really a nice person. He treated people kindly and spoke pleasantly. Sincere enough, is a trustworthy person.

The shopping was almost over, Jiang Cheng and a few people walked in front of an antique shop, Jiang Cheng stood still, and gave the fat man a wink, the fat man immediately understood, and at the same time he clutched his stomach, and yelled.

"Master, what's wrong with you?" The soldiers immediately checked upon seeing the situation, and saw that the fat man's face and facial features were all crowded together, and beads of sweat kept rolling down, obviously from the extreme pain .

"It hurts, my stomach hurts!" Fatty's voice was trembling, "I can't, it must be that the street stalls just now were not clean, and my stomach was ruined by eating. I want to go to the latrine, where... where is there a latrine? Quick, hurry up I come over!"

The soldiers looked up and panicked for a while, "The hut, near here..."

"There is a restaurant there, there must be a hut there." Jiang Cheng pointed, and at a street corner not far away, a plaque of a restaurant was revealed.

Fatty didn't wait for the government soldiers to react, and immediately ran over. The first reaction of the government soldiers was to chase after them, but they stopped suddenly and looked at Jiang Cheng with some embarrassment. Unexpectedly, the latter gave him a reassuring look, and then Pretending to look around, he pointed to the antique shop behind him and said, "Don't worry about me, I don't wander the streets, I'll wait for you in this shop, you go to him quickly, he doesn't know the way."

"it is good."

Watching the government soldiers run away, Jiang Cheng glanced around inadvertently, then walked unhurriedly, and walked into this antique shop. Zhao Dushou's words before were still echoing in his ears. I feel that the strange things happening in the city may be related to this incident, and the weird Spring God Lake, if you have the chance, you must go and see it yourself.

Although the antique shop was open, there were no customers in it. That's right. If something like this happened in the city, it was too late for everyone to escape. How could they be in the mood to buy antiques.

But the business still needs to go on. When the boss saw someone coming, he immediately greeted him. After looking up and down Jiangcheng for a few times, a gleam of surprise appeared in his eyes. What he does in this business is his eyesight. The boss has been in this business for a long time. If you look up and down, you can get a general idea of ​​the origin and financial resources of the customers who enter the door.

In the eyes of the boss, although the young man who came in was dressed in weird clothes and did not look like high-quality fabrics, but these were fur. The young man had a bookish face, and his gestures were confident and generous. Those who have seen the big scene, the corners of their mouths curl up, their eyes are seven points indifferent, three points proud, even if they are not the eldest son of a clan family, at least they are heirs of a wealthy family.

The boss was secretly happy, and became more respectful towards Jiang Cheng, "My lord, what do you want to see?"

This is a very specific question. When this kind of people come to buy something, they usually can’t pick up the item at the first time. If they do, it’s a joke that they don’t have it at home. , This seems too vulgar, and it is not easy to ask for a price later, so I have to mention the fate, saying that this thing is full of spirituality, and it has a fate with the master who entered the door.

Jiang Cheng took small steps, walked back and forth in the shop, his brows were full of disdain, and the boss became more and more attentive, until Jiang Cheng slowly said, "I recently came across something I like, but you don't have it in this shop, why don't you buy it?" In this way, you get a pen and paper, and I will show you a picture, and if you can tell the history, I will give you a lot of rewards."

"Got it."

The boss ran to get the pen and paper, and came back quickly. Jiang Cheng dipped the brush in the ink, and drew pieces of nails on the paper. There were still some lines between the nails. Jiang Cheng drew them one by one, but Before he finished painting, suddenly, the boss's face changed drastically, and then he immediately took two steps back, pointed at the painting, and asked tremblingly, "You... who are you?"

Jiang Cheng held his pen and thought for a moment, "The rich."

"You...you get out! I won't do your business anymore, go away, if you don't go... If you don't go, I will report to the official!" The boss pretended to be very serious, but Jiang Cheng could tell at a glance that he was actually very scared inside, " Let me tell you, right now... the whole city is arresting people like you, you... once you are caught, you will be dead, you go away, I don't want to provoke you, I will pretend that you haven't been here today, I don't know you you."

Jiang Cheng's painting was of course the broken pieces of armor that Gao Yanqing held in his hand. According to their analysis, these pieces of armor should have been torn from a complete armor. Judging by the workmanship of the armor, it is not something that ordinary soldiers can wear. And these fragments are now on Jiang Cheng's body, but he can't take them out for fear of getting burned.

Jiang Cheng pretended to be fearless, and even eagerly approached the boss, "Oh? Then tell me, who am I? What are the things I draw?"

The boss was terrified by Jiang Cheng's actions, especially when he watched Jiang Cheng put his hand into his clothes. It seemed that there were weapons hidden inside. After facing the pressure from Jiang Cheng, the boss almost collapsed to the ground, and finally appointed a general Cried out, "You are the remnants of the previous dynasty, no, no, you are heroes who want to revive the previous dynasty, and I admire you from the bottom of my heart, but I... I can't, I am the owner of an antique shop, I can't carry it on my shoulders. , You can’t lift it with your hands, it’s useless for you to pull me into the gang, and you can’t kill me, people come and go around here, if I die, you can’t escape!”

"That's right, let's continue. What is the dress I drew, and what do the patterns on it say?" Jiang Cheng continued to ask.

"This... this is the armor of General Guo of the previous dynasty. There are such patterns on his armor and on the body of his personal soldiers." The boss said tremblingly: "This...you shouldn't look for such things. Me, if you want to settle accounts, you should just go to Zhennanhou, General Guo was killed by Zhennanhou, and he was awarded the title of Zhennanhou by the emperor after he captured Luo'an City, which is hereditary."

Hearing this, Jiang Cheng showed a strange smile, then took out his hand from the lapel, and stretched it out to the boss who was lying on the ground. Pulled up on the ground.

Jiang Cheng patted the boss on the shoulder, nodded in approval, "Yes, you performed very well, today is not your death day, to tell you the truth, I am from the Zhennan Hou Mansion, and I came here today because someone reported that you This store is suspected of collaborating with bandits."

"No, no, I'm an honest person, but I don't dare to do these things." The boss quickly waved his hands. After the initial shock, the boss also became suspicious of Jiang Cheng's identity, after all, the other party's behavior was too weird.

After noticing the change in the boss's micro-expression, Jiang Cheng took out a piece of cloth from his pocket with a smile and opened it. There was a conspicuous pattern on the cloth. The boss immediately recognized that the pattern was the seal of the Zhennanhou Mansion.

"My lord!" The boss was taken aback for a moment, and then he was about to kneel down facing Jiang Cheng.

"Don't be like this. I'm here for an unannounced visit. Don't ruin our event. Otherwise, once those remnants of the previous dynasty are disturbed, you will die forever." Jiang Cheng supported the boss and did not let him kneel down.

Jiang Cheng found a chair and sat down, raised his chin to the boss, and said arrogantly: "Tell me, how much do you know about Chunshen Lake?"
