Chapter 365: A Sudden Change
There is a proverb in the West that says, "Curiosity kills cats." Legend has it that cats have nine lives, which means that they are very difficult to die. However, it is such an animal that seems to be able to "come back to life", but because of curiosity, it repeats the mistakes of the past again and again, and finally it is difficult to escape, which shows how difficult curiosity is sometimes to control.
At this moment, Gongsun Baili and Hao Datong's hearts were full of questions, and they were extremely curious about Zhong Lin, which was a strong desire that drove them to get answers. whereas
Wu Mingtang knew better than anyone else that Zhong Lin was definitely not a demon, so he was also full of curiosity about the "scream" that emanated from Zhong Lin's body that could scare the mid-grade sixth-order phantom beast.
For a while, everyone's eyes in the box fell on Zhong Lin. For him, who is not good at lying, it is simply an ordeal.
"Dut...... Honk...... , ......"
Just when Zhong Lin was at a loss, there was a sudden sound of Chen horn from outside the window. The sound was short and loud from far and near, making people feel uneasy, and everyone's heart seemed to tremble with the sound of the horn, and the nerves tensed unconsciously.
Hao Datong, who heard the sound of the horn, immediately changed his face, got up and left his seat, quickly walked to the window, pushed open the window, supported the window edge with both hands, leaned over and looked out. At the same time, the door of the box was suddenly pushed open.
The person who walked in was in good shape and moved quickly, and he had already walked to Gongsun Baili's side in three steps and two steps. Apparently he was so anxious that he didn't even bother to knock on the door. After he leaned down and whispered a few words in Gongsun Baili's ear, Gongsun Baili's face also changed, becoming even more ugly than Hao Datong's.
"Everyone, I'm really sorry, I suddenly have an urgent matter here, and I need to leave immediately, and there will be a ...... later."
didn't have time to wait for Wu Mingtang and the others to respond, Gongsun Baili had already walked out of the room with the comer. Wu Mingtang hadn't known Gongsun Baili for a day or two, but he had never seen Gongsun Baili move so quickly. What was once a snail instantly turned into a "lightning" ......
"What's the situation? Just leave, I don't understand any politeness! By the way, just now he seems to have said that this meal will be recorded in his account, I don't know if it counts, I won't cheat! Shouldn't I leave a little grandson scoundrel, and run away with another husband and grandson scoundrel......
The nine-tailed fox muttered to himself.
Zhong Lin did breathe a sigh of relief at first, after all, the sudden change had temporarily freed him from the "predicament". However, after seeing the reaction of Hao Datong and Gongsun Baili, he had an ominous premonition.
"Chase, what's that horn?!"
Wu Mingtang frowned and looked at Hao Datong, although he was not particularly clear about the sound of the horn in the army, but he had heard the horn of the assembly, and this time the horn sound seemed to come more quickly and more "terrifying"......
"It's an urgent edict from the Phantom Beast Legion, it seems that this meal can't be eaten, I must leave immediately. Ladies and gentlemen, there will be a ...... later."
Hao Datong hurriedly turned around and bowed his hand to the people in the room to say goodbye, but when his gaze turned to Zhong Lin, he stared for five seconds. These five seconds may not be too long in normal times, and can even be described as a split-second, but it is so long compared to the series of "rushed" actions that preceded it.
People often say that eyes can express rich feelings, eyes can speak, and now the feelings contained in Hao Datong's eyes are very complex, there seems to be a lot to say, there are curious, there are questions, there are puzzles, and even doubts......
However, he only opened his mouth, did not ask after all, and then strode out of the room.
When Hao Datong came to the outside of the restaurant, the twenty or so soldiers of the Phantom Beast Corps who were dining downstairs had already gathered. He beckoned, and everyone followed him in the direction of the sound of the horn......
"Is there an emergency situation in the Phantom Beast Corps?"
Zhong Lin's sense of foreboding became stronger and stronger, and he frowned and looked at Wu Mingtang with an inquiring look.
"I don't know, but there must be something big going on when this kind of emergency edict is issued, but I hope ......."
Wu Mingtang's words came to an abrupt end in the middle of speaking, and his brows furrowed into a big "Chuan" character.
"Father, why don't we go down and see what's going on?"
Wu Shaojie seemed to be unable to sit still.
"Yes, Uncle Wu, let's go. I lost my appetite for the food I just ate, and I don't want to eat this anymore. Let's go and see what's going on, right?"
Zhong Lin said and stood up.
"So what are you waiting for? Les is ...... enough."
The nine-tailed fox couldn't sit still for a long time, so he bounced up from his seat in an instant, pulled Zhong Lin and walked out of the door. She will never miss this kind of excitement.
"What dog, hey, hey, big brother, big sister, wait for me!"
Immediately following Zhong Lin and the nine-tailed fox was Wu Shaojie. Wu Mingtang and Brother Peng Shui, they glanced at each other and walked out of the box.
The atmosphere on the street was unusually depressing, and the people who also felt strange either walked to the side of the street and looked up, or pushed open the windows and leaned out most of their bodies, all looking in the direction from which the horn came.
"What happened?"
Hao Datong and the others, who came out first, had already met with the trumpeter.
"The head of a thousand households!"
The trumpet was played by a warrior of the Phantom Beast Legion. The most obvious position on Hao Datong's chest hung a badge symbolizing his identity and a meritorious medal, and the soldier knew it at a glance, and immediately gave Hao Datong a military salute.
"What the hell is going on, tell me!"
Hao Datong hurriedly returned the military salute and asked eagerly.
"The Warcraft Legion suddenly launched a wave of offensive, General Hong Ming was killed, our defenses were broken through, and now they have driven straight into Wushipu. The other Phantom Beast Corps were too far apart to replenish their defenses, so the Shogun issued an urgent edict to summon nearby Phantom Beast warriors to support. ”
"What are you talking about? Say it again, General Hongming, what's wrong with him?"
"Eh!"
Hao Datong's hand was on the messenger's shoulder, and he didn't realize that he had added force to his hand in a hurry, where could the messenger withstand his grab, and he cried out.
Hao Datong hurriedly took his hand back and asked in a low voice, "General Hongming, ...... he?"
"Hong Ming's thousand household chiefs have been killed......"
The messenger's voice was not loud, but it was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and Hao Datong's whole body trembled......
