Chapter 266: The Pathway
At the same time as the main hall was lively, in an inconspicuous corner of the Flower Mansion, there were three people squatting, and the first one was Xiaohua.
Then, it was the dust in a daze, and Wu Zheng, who was excited to hold half a piece of cake. While eating, Wu Zheng didn't forget to say a few sarcastic words: "You are still the young master of the dignified flower family, just sneaking around?"
Xiaohua probed and saw that no one was coming, so she said to Wu Zheng: "What do you know, Young Master Ben has good intentions." ”
"Yes, life is hard. Wu Zheng pouted, thinking of the hardships he had endured with Xiaohua, he wanted to wipe his tears.
After about half an hour, the three of Xiaohua finally came out of the flower mansion. Of course, it was not a generous walk out of the main entrance, but a jump out of the wall. But in any case, Xiaohua has been reborn.
Wu Zheng's landing action is not very handsome, and there is a point, it seems to have twisted his waist when he climbed over the wall just now. It hurts, and a pair of dog skin plasters should be applied when you turn around, Wu Zheng thought in his heart. :
Xiaohua tidied up her clothes, then straightened her chest and headed out of the city. Luochen followed behind, not saying a word. But it was Wu Zheng again, who opened his mouth and said, "Eh Xiaohua, didn't you say that you were going to eat something delicious, how did you go in that direction?"
Xiaohua smiled faintly, in fact, he deceived Wu Zheng. But he can't be blamed for this, it's really Wu Zheng, this kid, it's too easy to deceive. Xiaohua suppressed the urge to laugh, and said lightly: "Don't worry, this son said to take you to eat delicious food, then he will definitely not break his word." ”
Wu Zheng didn't answer, but muttered in a low voice: "Have you broken your promise?"
In recent days, the temperature in Beiliang has increased significantly, and flies have begun to appear on the streets. Wu Zheng didn't hate this thing very much at first, when he was in the barracks, due to the climate, this thing was a rare thing.
But since Xiaohua told Wu Zheng that the baby of the fly was actually a maggot, Wu Zheng had completely changed. From the very beginning, the habit gradually turned into disgust and disgust.
After Xiaohua and the others left this time, Beiliang changed a lot. Maybe they've been away for so long that it's hard to get used to life all at once.
The confrontation between Bei Liang and Nan Yao continued, and just above that long border, the two countries began to garrison their armies at the same time. As the smell of gunpowder intensifies, war is likely to break out.
No one knows if there will be a war, but the imperial court is confident in it. No one knew why the ministers in the court had such great confidence, but the people were very worried.
Once a war is waged, it will inevitably be this group of people who will be the first to be harmed. When the time comes, taxes will definitely increase, and there may also be large-scale conscription. In this case, the people are panicking.
In this regard, Xiaohua also has his own considerations. First, whether this war is or not, there is actually no risk of extinction of the other Hua family. Although the industry will be affected, as long as you still have most of the property in your hands, you will be invincible.
Second, Xiaohua actually didn't think that Nan Yao had the ability to conquer Bei Liang. Especially in the Northern Liang Country, the most important thing, the place of the throat fortress, will definitely be impregnable.
Thirdly, if Nan Yao attacks, then it will definitely be in the summer. Because Bei Liang is different from Nan Yao, Bei Liang has obvious four seasons all year round. And for most of the southerners who had never seen snow, attacking in winter was definitely tantamount to killing themselves. If Xiaohua is the leader of the southerners, then he will definitely attack in the summer, and the attack will definitely strive for a quick victory.
The reason why Xiaohua is so calm is actually inseparable from his cultural cultivation. Although he is idle all day now, he did not read much when he was a child. It can be seen from the many battles between the north and the south in history that Bei Liang and Nan Yao often fought. has been fighting for so many years, and it is also a matter of winning and losing.
Therefore, it is imperative to go to Wong Tai Sin and ask the question about the ancient pagoda and the key.
Wu Zheng was originally fooled by Xiaohua and said that he was very happy. But when the three of them slowly walked to the city gate, Wu Zheng felt that something was wrong. He hadn't heard of a restaurant outside the city.
So, Wu Zheng asked, "Xiaohua, where are we going to eat?"
The corners of Xiaohua's mouth raised an arc, and then said, "This son will take you out to eat today." ”
Although Wu Zheng was stupid, he had already reacted at this time, and said hesitantly: "You don't want to go back to the academy, right?"
Xiaohua saw that Wu Zheng saw through it, so she simply didn't pretend to do so, and nodded lightly.
When Wu Zheng heard this, he lowered his head in frustration. He didn't cry, and he was unusually quiet at the moment. This surprised Xiaohua, and said in her heart that Wu Zheng wouldn't be really stupid, right?"
"What's the use of complaining, when you complained, you didn't beat your father to the point where you didn't know me. Wu Zheng sighed, looking like an old god was there.
Xiaohua doesn't have to fight with Wu Zheng more, Wu Zheng can be obedient the best, and he will do more to save him. But for some reason, there was suddenly no reason to beat Wu Zheng, and I felt uncomfortable all over.
The journey back to the academy was long, especially when the three of Xiaohua had no means of transportation and could only rely on two legs, the journey was particularly desperate. Every few steps Wu Zheng takes, he has to rub his old waist, snorting and kicking, and often drooping his tongue.
On the other hand, when Mrs. Hua went to look for her son, she found that the person was missing. Not only Xiaohua, but even Luochen and Wu Zheng are not there. Hua Baishi was happy to see this, and comforted on the side: "Madam, you don't have to be angry, our son probably can't be counted on in this life." Of course, even if you have a next life, you can't count on it. If you want me to see it, let's just guard our good daughter-in-law. When the time comes, it's best to have another big fat boy. ”
Madame Hua didn't say anything, only nodded slightly.
It's just that Luoli's heart is gradually unstable. She was also very anxious in her heart, she knew that the three Xiaohua had definitely secretly returned to the academy. And he was probably used as a shield for his parents by Xiaohua and thrown in the flower mansion.
Naturally, this is Luoli's personal thoughts. Xiaohua's actual intention is not to let Luoli get involved again, in order to protect her, it is still arranged in Huafu with peace of mind.
The news of Xiaohua's return has spread far and wide, and it has reached the point where everyone knows it now. At this time, Wong Tai Sin sat firmly on a big stone at the entrance of the academy, and the sky was getting dark, which did not affect him to eat the chicken leg in his hand at all.
Wong Tai Sin eating chicken can always give people a visual impact, and you will feel that it tastes very fragrant and delicious. Especially when Wong Tai Sin showed a satisfied expression, he was extremely ecstatic.
It also happened that at this time, the exhausted Wu Zheng smelled something, only to see his nose immediately stand up, then inhale, and then his eyes lit up.
Good guy, an afterimage flashed in front of Xiaohua's eyes, and Wu Zheng rushed towards the fragrance. This operation made Xiaohua look stupid, he remembered that Wu Zheng was still complaining that he couldn't walk just now.
After Xiaohua turned a corner, the Wenwu Academy finally revealed its true face. Then, after seeing this scene, Xiaohua seemed to recognize a person. The man seemed to be sitting on a big rock, cross-legged, frantically gnawing on something.
And underneath the man, there was also a small dog squatting. Ah no, I read it wrong, it's a Wu Zheng who looks like a puppy. At this time, Wu Zhengzheng was staring at the chicken leg in Wong Tai Sin's hand, and posed as a hungry dog.
Xiaohua felt funny, and was still thinking about whether Wu Zheng would gnaw bones for a while, when Huang Daxian raised his hand and beckoned, "Here." ”
Xiaohua shook her head, and walked over with Luochen.
Huang Taixian seemed to be very happy today, and glanced at a few people as if he was celebrating the New Year, and then said, "Yes, not a single arm or leg is missing." ”
Xiaohua had already dispelled the idea of beating Huang Daxian, but as soon as he heard such annoying words from Huang Daoshi, he finally couldn't hold back and said: "You still have the face to say that you deceived the master to die in the wilderness, and you are still eating and drinking here." ”
"Eh, to be clear, Ben Daxian didn't lie to you, but you have to go by yourself. ”
Xiaohua blinked lightly, he was really powerless against Huang Daxian's practice of beating me to death, which I didn't admit. Xiaohua didn't want to worry too much about this issue, so she went straight to the point and said, "What happened to the ancient tower and the key?"
As soon as Huang Daxian saw Xiaohua talking about business, he was naturally unequivocal, and replied seriously: "It seems that you already know, so let me tell you." ”
However, at this moment, a voice came from behind Xiaohua, "Am I here at the right time?"
Xiaohua was surprised, and she didn't have to look back to know who was coming. It's no one else, who else can there be besides his own daughter-in-law?
"Why are you here?" asked Xiaohua helplessly.
didn't think about it, Luo Li didn't care about Xiaohua at all, and only looked at Wong Tai Sin lightly.
The old man smiled, and then said, "You must have entered the ancient tower, so have you seen any strange creatures?"
"Yes. Wu Zheng scrambled to speak. Just kidding, he didn't know how many times he was hit by those creatures, could he have seen it?
Wong Tai Sin laughed for a moment, and then said, "That creature is not actually a creature of the human world. ”
"Isn't it the human world?" Xiaohua raised an eyebrow, which he didn't expect.
"They came from under the ancient tower. Wong Tai Sin's tone was flat, as if he was telling a little bedtime story.
What is under the tower? The question in Xiaohua's mind is about to be answered.
Sure enough, Wong Tai Sin, who was at the interface, cleared his throat and said the following words.
They come from another world, a world ruled by demons. And under the ancient tower, the road leading to it was sealed.
