Chapter 11: The Return
What Ling Gu wanted to know, only Ling Zhaowen could give him the answer. However, what disappointed him was that Ling Zhaowen returned to the Taiyuan in the afternoon and would not come back until the next Xiu Mu.
After a few days of leisurely days, Meng Yu couldn't bear the loneliness after all, and came to the courtyard to harass Ling Gu, and quickly got acquainted with Ling Gu, and even spent two nights in Ling Gu's courtyard.
Then this morning, Meng Yu ran over in a hurry. Ling Gu raised his eyebrows at the sight of him - he was dressed very casually on weekdays, and his hair was always tied up by a soft branch. But today he actually wore a brand new dress, and his hair was neatly combed, and he immediately became handsome.
"You're going on a blind date?" Ling Gu raised his eyebrows, and Meng Yu has complained a lot of lonely people in the past few days.
"What kind of blind date, did you forget that the boss came back today?" Meng Yu happily exclaimed: "The boss is very handsome, definitely the type you like." β
ββIn the past two days, Ling Gu's preferences have also been gossiped about by this person.
"The premise of 'forgetting' is to know. General Meng, are you sure you sued me? Ling Gu was speechless, but he understood it again - no wonder this morning, the two girls Huang Yu and Lu Zhu hurried back to the Shuai Mansion.
Meng Yuyan thought seriously for a moment, and then immediately gave up thinking: "Anyway, you know now." Okay, let's go. β
"What's the hurry? When Bai Yu comes back, you can just take me to Shuaifu to see him. β
Bai Yu is the name of the commander, although Meng Yu praised him like a god descending to earth. But Ling Gu always maintained a preconceived 'tyrant' setting for Bai Yu, so his attitude was very inactive. Besides, even if he likes men, he doesn't have a good impression of a man who may be his cheap husband.
"Of course, this kind of thing has to be greeted in person to have sincerity!" Ignoring it, three times and five divided by two to help Ling Gu clean up, and then dragged Ling Gu out.
Although it is still morning, Ssangyong Street is already bustling, with people and beasts rubbing shoulders one after another. When Ling Gu and Meng Yu came out of Fulu Street, they were squeezed down by the crowd. Fortunately, there is a Meng Yu next to him, although his mind often roams, but fortunately, he is quite taken care of as a "commander's wife". There is a blind separation of the crowd, and Ling Gu feels a lot better.
Strangely enough, however, almost everyone was crowded into the street to the right of the moat, and the street opposite was rarely crowded except for shops and customers.
"What do you mean?" Ling Gu raised his chin and gestured to the street opposite.
"That's the way the boss will go when they go into town." Meng Yu replied as he squeezed towards the opposite side with Ling Gu.
The two crossed an arched bridge, and when they reached the opposite street, it was much easier in an instant. Probably because there will be soldiers and horses to pass by, there are not many shops on this side of the street, but there are people on the second floor of the shop.
"I'm hungry." Meng Yuxing rushed to the city gate and pulled a few steps, Ling Gu immediately stopped and said.
Meng Yu said strangely: "Didn't Huang Chubby make you spring cakes in the morning?" β
Ling Gu spread his hands: "But I only ate two bites and was pulled away by you." I want to eat crystal shrimp dumplings, from Baiju Lou. β
Covering his face, he said helplessly: "Okay, you wait here and don't run around, I'll buy it for you." β
Ling Gu immediately smiled: "Thank you." β
Ling Gu didn't know when the three armies of the Shuaifu would come back, so he looked left and right to find a place to rest. But there are too few shops on the street here, and the shops that are open at both ends are too far away. Ling Gu was lazy, so he found a nearby person to sit on the stone pier where the signboard cloth banner was placed.
"Little brother." The door of the shop behind the stone pier suddenly opened, and a slightly chubby middle-aged man walked out, carrying a signature cloth banner in his hand. There is also a strong smell of medicinal herbs that spreads out.
The middle-aged man smiled: "Little brother is tired? When I open the store, I will sit in the store. β
Ling Gu stood up when he heard this, and the left side of his face was exposed. Ling Gu pointed to his left cheek with some evil eyes, and said, "Uncle doesn't mind? β
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, then smiled. Then he rolled up his sleeves, revealing his arms. But I saw that there were a lot of scales on his arms.
"Don't mind." After the middle-aged man lowered his sleeves and inserted the signboard banner, the door of the store opened, and it was indeed a medicinal herb shop. He moved a bench out of the house and placed it in front of the door: "Little brother sit, I'll go in and sort out the medicinal materials." β
Ling Gu smiled: "Uncle is open-minded, I was rude just now." β
"I am also very envious of someone like my little brother who dares not to hide it." The middle-aged man smiled and waved his hand, exchanged a few words with Ling Gu, and went into the house again.
Ling Gu watched the middle-aged man enter the door, and when he turned around, he was keenly aware of a line of sight. Ling Gu turned his head to look, only to see a corner of his clothes flashing in the alley next to him. Ling Gu frowned and walked over to take a look, this was a dead alley, and no one was there.
Delusion?
Ling Gu didn't think much about it, and sat back in front of the store, waiting for the shrimp dumplings.
After waiting for a while, the shrimp dumplings did not come, and the commotion of the crowd came.
"Ah, it's coming~"
On the opposite street, the girls all showed their snow-white lotus arms, dressed in heavy makeup, and looked in the direction of the city gate. The handkerchief in his hand waved like a wicker in the wind.
Ling Gu followed the flow of people in the direction of the city gateβhis position here was still far from the city gate, and he could see a rough outline from a distance.
In a moment, Ling Gu heard the horse's hooves in the distance like rolling thunder, and there was a sound of humming against the ground. Immediately after, a black shadow overwhelmed the horizon, and smoke and dust billowed out of Ling Gu's sight.
"Ah~~Lord Commander~~~"
"General Qin~~"
"General Bo~~"
The screams of the girls became higher and higher, and the crowd was mobilized, and more and more people crowded onto the arched bridge, excitedly looking at the three armies, who were still only dark shadows.
"Wow." Ling Gu couldn't help but sigh: "It's so popular." β
"That's nature." The middle-aged shopkeeper came out at some point, stood next to the stone pier, looked at the other end of the city gate, and said: "Only with the commander can there be today's Bermuda City, and only then can there be today's days." The people of the city respected him...... Besides, the commander and the three generals are really in the wind, and the three armies of the Shuaifu are also in good spirits, especially when they wear armed armor, tsk, that has always been the favorite of the girls. β
Ling Gu was speechless - well, the world of appearance and uniform is a big killer.
"By the way, the commander of Bermuda is not a human either." Ling Gu asked casually, "Then why do so many people support him?" β
The middle-aged shopkeeper was silent for a moment before he said, "The commander is not a wild beast, he is a demon cultivator from another world. β
Demon cultivators.
Ling Gu's mind suddenly appeared with the original words of the nameless book - twenty years ago, it was because of the spiritual power riot caused by the demon cultivator's tribulation that it led to the invasion of wild beasts and the dark day.
However, Bai Yu was the one who suppressed the wild beast later, so it shouldn't be the same person.
After a few words, the three armies entering the city gate could already see the shadows, the three shadows of white, black, and red at the head, and the neat phalanx behind them: wearing strong armor and holding contradictions, solemn and solemn.
"It's majestic." Ling Gu sighed, whether it was himself in the present world or the current body, his height did not exceed one hundred and eighteen. This is the great regret of his two lives.
"Smack."
A drop of cold liquid dripped on the back of Ling Gu's hand, Ling Gu was excited, and when he looked down, there was a drop of blood on the back of his hand!
Ling Gu stood up in shock, looked up again, and was stunned by the scene in front of himβthe shopkeeper who had been standing by the stone pier had moved to the place where he had just been sitting; The shopkeeper's face was blue, his eyes were red, his teeth had grown an inch and the corners of his mouth were raised, and his saliva hung down because he couldn't close his mouth.
And on the shopkeeper's neck, there was a large scratch, the scratch broke the flesh, but there was no blood; But there was a hole the size of a thick needle in the middle of the scratch, and black blood was gurgling out. The shopkeeper's hands were clawed, and a lot of black blood was dripping from his fingertips. At the same time, it emits a stench of silt.
Ling Gu was a little stunned, and his first reaction was - zombies.
