Nightmare Attack

"Do you know where the battlefield of this final battle is?" Jiang Cheng sensed a subtle aura from the narration of the treasurer Qian, and related to the recent encounter, Jiang Cheng identified this Zhennan Hou and the former guard general Guo Da. There must be some kind of unknown connection between them, probably not just as simple as the treasure in the lake.

Unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out, Shopkeeper Qian opened his eyes slightly, "Why, don't you know, my lord? The final battle broke out on Chunshen Lake. It was a water battle. It is said that it started in the middle of the night. The place is remote. The people in our city didn’t know about it, but it turned out that before dawn the next day, a group of light riders came, opened the city gate, and welcomed the army into the city. Only then did we know that General Guo was defeated. Later, the gossip became more and more Many, it is rumored that General Guo and his most powerful retinue and personal soldiers were beheaded by Lord Hou on Chunshen Lake, and the blood of that night dyed the lake red."

It was Chunshen Lake again... All the spearheads and clues were pointing here. Before Jiang Cheng could think about it, suddenly, the phone in his pocket vibrated.

Jiang Cheng pretended to glance at it casually. It was a text message from the fat man, telling him to hurry up. After such a long delay, the soldiers sent by the Hou Mansion had become suspicious.

Boss Qian seemed to know this, and there was no point in asking further. Jiang Cheng looked at Shopkeeper Qian with a half-smile, thinking that he must keep his mouth shut, "Treasurer Qian, tell me everything you know. , I'm very happy, but if Master Hou knows that you know so much, what will he think of the old man, do you know?"

Shopkeeper Qian's face was pale, and he looked at Jiang Cheng with terrified eyes, "My lord, don't worry, my lord, God knows this, you know me, and I'll tell you the truth, after today, I plan to close this shop. I went home to farm and never came back.”

"Treasurer Qian, you are a smart person. You can understand some things even if I don't say them. In this troubled world, sometimes a bit of...hehe, it's not a bad thing." Jiang Cheng squinted his eyes, and his tone was half threatening and half persuasive.

"understand!"

"Also, I won't stop you if you want to close the store, but it can't be today or tomorrow."

Shopkeeper Qian immediately understood after thinking about it for a while, "I understand, my lord, I understand. You just came here today, and I will close the shop. It is hard to guarantee that others will not think of it. It is still my lord who is thoughtful."

Regarding Jiang Cheng's "care", Shopkeeper Qian was rather flattered. He immediately turned around, searched inside the counter, then walked back quickly, took out two silver ingots from his cuff, and stuffed them into Jiang Cheng's hands with a smiling face, "My lord I will never forget my kindness, and I hope that my lord...my lord can give this villain a chance to be filial."

Seeing that shopkeeper Qian was so sensible, Jiang Cheng reluctantly accepted it. As soon as the words fell, there was a rush of footsteps outside. The mansion soldier from before came and pushed open the door. Only after the tense expression eased, the fat man chased after the soldiers, "I said, what are you doing running so fast, you can't get lost, and my stomach still hurts."

Shopkeeper Qian immediately recognized the special pattern on Fubing's body, which was the symbol of Zhennan Houfu. Seeing the politeness of the Fubing to Jiangcheng, Shopkeeper Qian was even more certain that this outstanding young man came from the Houfu, and he also There are quite a few positions.

The fat man in Jiangcheng left together with the government soldiers without paying any attention to the money shopkeeper. The fat man complained that his stomach ached and he couldn't walk anymore, so the three of them chose a place to rest and ordered a pot of tea for a leisurely rest.

When the time was almost up, the three of them rushed to meet at the agreed place. Zhang Qizheng, Yao Shunyu, Li Bai, and Zhao Dushou came one after another. Among them, Li Bai was carrying a few small packages in his hand.

At this time, the sky was slowly getting darker. It was originally 2 or 3 o'clock in the afternoon, but it seemed that it had entered the night. After returning to the Hou Mansion, the long-lost feeling of suffocation came again, and the fat man looked around vigilantly. There are only two rows of paper lanterns hanging in the huge Hou's mansion. The lanterns are dark red, shaking slightly in the wind, like dead eyes widening.

Not long after entering the door, they bumped into General Yuwen. The general told them that the rest of the people had already seen Lord Hou, and now that it was getting late, he asked them to stay in the mansion with peace of mind. People came to summon them, and immediately arranged for people to take them to their residences to rest.

The so-called residence is relatively remote, and no one can be seen along the way. After passing through several long corridors, they came to a separate courtyard. Pointing, "Masters, you will live here tonight. After entering the door, walk along the light of the lantern until you reach the end."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Jiangcheng and the others to react, they left in a hurry, and disappeared within a few breaths.

The fat man stretched out his head and glanced at the yard, and immediately shrunk his neck. The faces of the people in Jiangcheng also became strange, because this yard was different from all the places they had passed by before. The lanterns in this yard were White, big white lanterns swaying in the night wind, like pale human faces.

"Don't go in yet, I'll make a call." Jiang Cheng took out his mobile phone, thought for a moment, and chose to call Zhu Jie. After receiving a positive answer, Jiang Cheng and his party walked into the yard.

Under the pale light, everyone walked in fear for a while, and finally found a brightly lit room. The door of the room was open at the moment, and Zhu Jie and Tang Qisheng were standing behind the door waiting for them.

Stepping into the room~www.NovelMTL.com~ The rest of Lu Qin and Shao Tong were also there, and everyone was finally converging. Tang Qisheng closed the door and called everyone to sit down at the table.

"How about it, what clues did you find?" Tang Qisheng asked, his face was not very good-looking, obviously this period of time has not passed smoothly.

"Let's talk about you first. I heard that you met the Marquis of Zhennan." Jiang Cheng calmly pushed the question back. The clues in his hands can be shared. After all, the current situation is not optimistic, but he hopes that the other party will You can also give back to him with the same sincerity.

Fortunately, Tang Qisheng didn't care about it, and nodded slightly, "Shortly after you left, we were called in. This Zhennan Hou is very strange. He met us through a gauze curtain, and his face Wearing a mask, no, half of it to be precise, it only covers his right side of the face."

After a pause, Tang Qisheng lowered his voice: "Also, what confuses us most is that the Marquis of Zhennan, who is said to be a warrior on the battlefield and who made great achievements in breaking the city, is actually an extremely thin man. The clothes sat there, and the whole person couldn't even support the clothes, and almost didn't move, as if the clothes were not a body, but a skeleton frame."
