Chapter 40: The Mountain Rain is Coming (Part II)

"Quack, quack, quack........." Dozens of jackdaws screamed, flying up from a certain courtyard in the Zhengfang not far from the Daming Palace, circling in the moonlight, refusing to disperse.

"Wang, Wang, Wang........." The barking of dogs came and went, waking up half of the square in an instant. However, whether it was the second ancestor who returned late from climbing the wall, or the husband who patrolled the time to announce the time, they all carried lanterns in a hurry, and no one would take a second look at the mansion where the jackdaw flew.

The mansion was haunted, as many grooms said. It is also said that there are also husbands who have seen ghosts coming and going in groups in the dead of night. A few days later, the husband who saw the ghost hanged himself in his house, his tongue sticking out half a foot long!

Rumors spread with noses and eyes, and there is no way to stop them. Some timid and wealthy sons of the nobles simply moved away with their families, resulting in the gradual increase in the number of uninhabited mansions in the original government office. In the dead of night, it becomes more and more gloomy.

"Alasβ€”" An old Founding Father, who had been woken up by the sound of a barking dog, sighed and rolled over, his eyes wide at the ceiling. For a long time, he didn't blink his eyelids.

He is one of the few people in the community who still doesn't believe in hauntings. I don't believe it, just with the cowardice of Wu Sansi and Wu Chongxun's father and son, they can still become powerful ghosts after death.

The two masters of the martial arts family played tricks, one by one. It can be said that even if the two of them become ghosts, the old founding prince Qin Huaidao also guarantees that he will put them all down within three moves.

Bullshit, foolish is pretty much the same! I'm afraid that until now, the two masters of the martial family, who are known for their ruthlessness, have not understood who they died in. On the night they died, why didn't the Royal Forest Army, the Bad Division, and the Hundred Cavalry Division come to the rescue in time?

As for the "ghosts" that often appear in Wu Sansi's old mansion at the moment, in the eyes of Qin Huaidao, the old founding prince, they are a group of waste snacks. No matter how you toss it, it won't have any effect at all except for making the price of the house in the government fang go all the way down.

However, Qin Huaidao, the founding prince of Licheng County, who has been in charge of the household for several years, is too lazy to stop the nonsense of the "ghosts", let alone to reveal the truth and make it public.

Gou Duan is crazy and confused Qin, among the founding heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, there are only a few who can extend the wealth and nobility until now without any interruption. Among them, those who live relatively nourishingly, and even faintly do not lose to the ancestors when they were alive, are only Duan, Cheng, and Qin.

As the saying goes, there is a nickname that is called the wrong name, and there is a nickname that is not called wrong. The wealth that Hu Guogong, the ancestor of the Qin family, fought for with his life, and the reason why it can be passed on to the present in peace and stability is because of the word "confused". When things happen outside your yard, even if they happen next door, you will turn a blind eye to them.

However, today, Qin Huaidao, the founding prince of Licheng County, wants to hear and not hear, but it is a little difficult. Just as his eyes began to grow astringent again, and he was just about to close them, the dog barked again, more and more intensely.

"Nonsense!" Qin Huaidao looked down at the old wife beside him and the beautiful maid on the bed in the outhouse, took out a velvet earmuff from under the pillow, and covered it on his ear.

This time, he could go to sleep in peace. As for how the dog barks outside, I don't bother to care about it.

"Second brother, next time you bring a few fewer people, make the dog bark like this, be careful to alarm the Baiqi Division!" In fact, as Qin Huaidao guessed, in the old mansion of the late Liang Wang Wu Sansi, a "little ghost" with a black cloth covering his face complained in a low voice.

"It's okay, those cowards of the Hundred Horsemen, they don't have the courage to stare here!" was called the second brother, but he did not cover his face, and the bright earth showed a very delicate, but no longer young face, "Besides, this mansion is still under the name of Princess Anle." Let's come here to pay tribute to my uncle and brother, who can say anything wrong?! ”

"After all, the curfew was violated! You're living in the Decree Workshop, and you'll be fine if you're caught. I, on the other hand, came over the wall. The "little ghost" with his face covered had a very thin voice, but it was extremely uncomfortable to listen to people's ears.

"I told you to move to the square a long time ago, who is to blame if you don't come?!" The delicate face pursed his lips and sneered, disdainful of the masked man's reminder. "Just rent a set, or sell a yard, for you, it's not that you can't afford to spend that money?"

"It's not that I'm reluctant to pay, I'm not willing to be noticed!" The "little ghost" with his face covered craned his neck and whispered, "That one seems to be soft-eared, but he is very careful." If all of us move to the same house, I guess the Hundred Riders will have to send someone to live next door immediately! ”

"If you don't move in, won't the Hundred Riders pay attention to you?" The smile on the delicate face became more and more cold and arrogant, and there was a vague disdain, "It's a note to the left and right, it's better to be upright." ”

"Second brother is right, we live in other houses, and the people of the Baiqi Division will often keep an eye on it." Seeing that the two were arguing, a masked "fat ghost" sat up with a smile, "However, the third brother also makes sense, let's live more scattered, and the one in the palace will sleep more peacefully." If the Hundred Riders want to keep an eye on us, they will have to spend more manpower. ”

"Fourth, when can you not get along with the mud!" The masked little devil and the delicate face looked back at the fat man at the same time, and reprimanded in unison.

"Now, now!" The fat man smiled and arched his hand, as if through the masked scarf, one could see the expression on his face, "I mean, we don't have to argue about this. The second brother likes the extravagance of living in the Zhengfang, although he lives in the Zhengfang. The third brother likes to live in the hustle and bustle of Pingkangfang, even though he lives in Pingkangfang. It's not easy for a few of us brothers to come here, and there is no need to waste time on these trivial things. ”

"Hmmm! Let's get down to business! Qingxiu's face waved his hand and resolutely accepted the fat man's proposal, "Zhang Yongzhao, the new young eunuch of the Ordnance Supervisor, has you heard about the matter of beating Hui'an, the first disciple of the White Horse Temple?" ”

"I heard it, it was a good fight, a good fight!" This time, the "masked little ghost" did not deliberately confront him, but chuckled and stroked his palm, "Second brother, I have long seen that the flower monk Hui'an is not pleasing to the eye." I've been thinking about cleaning him up for the past few days, but he got too close to Princess Anle and didn't let me get a chance. ”

"Isn't it, second brother, although the surname Zhang is the same as Bi Gou, this fight is beautiful." In the corner, another tall and thin man took over the conversation and stomped his feet excitedly: "No matter what's wrong with the princess, she is also the daughter-in-law of our martial family, and the seventh brother's bones are not cold......

"Ahem, ahem......" The fat man lowered his head in confusion and coughed quietly, interrupting the voice of "thin and tall".

"Thin and tall" immediately lowered his head, smiled and waved his hand: "Second brother, I didn't mean you." You deliberately got close to the princess for the sake of our martial arts. I'm ......."

"Say it! I, Wu Yanxiu, am not afraid of crooked shadows! Qingxiu's face smiled, and his face was undisguised, "However, you'd better think clearly, now is the weakest time for our martial artists. If Princess An Le remarries an outsider......"

"Outsider, who to marry? You can't really marry a monk! No matter how distressed the daughter in the palace is, she always needs a face, right? The masked little ghost was shocked, and blurted out questioning words.

The other people present were also shocked, shaking their heads one by one.

"It's impossible, the one in the palace can't control his daughter anymore, and in this kind of thing, he won't be able to come by An Le Hu!"

"Second brother, are you thinking too much?"

"Second brother, if the princess marries you, we will all be happy to see it. But ......"

……

"Of course the princess will not marry a monk, no matter how good-looking the monk is, no matter how sweet his mouth is!" Qingxiu's face waved his hand, interrupting everyone's discussion, "However, the reason why the monk took the initiative to trouble Zhang Yongzhao was because the saint had sent someone to ask Zhang Yongzhao if he had become a relative. And on the day when the saint went to the armory prison to inspect, the princess dressed as a man and followed him all the time! ”

"Ahh

"Quack, quack, quackβ€”" The large flock of crows fell back into the trees in the yard, and chirped hoarsely.

Zhang Yongzhao said that he already had a marriage contract, and after the princess went back, she secretly wept. That's why Hui'an's idiot jumped out to find trouble with Zhang Yongzhao! The voice of the delicate face continued to sound, as cold as the north wind outside the house. Whether he beat Zhang Yongzhao or he was beaten by Zhang Yongzhao and his face bloomed, it doesn't matter to us. But the one in the palace, since he has moved the mind of letting the princess remarry, he is not worried about finding the next suitable candidate. ”

"Damn, the bones of the seventh brother are not cold!"

"Why are you sorry for the princess? How many days have you been killed? The princess is already thinking about finding a new love? ”

"The one in the palace is too sorry for our martial artists."

"He is an emperor, how can he think of anything to be sorry and worthy, as long as it is good for himself!"

Although the origin of that Yongzhao is unknown, he has presented several Zhenguo artifacts one after another. And the princess, after all, has no husband. So, he used it once! ”

……

Angry discussions came and went, each becoming more and more unbearable.

"Everyone, you scold like this, but you can scold the immortal surnamed Zhang, and scold the one in the immortal palace!" In the middle of a group of angry lonely ghosts, the fat man who was called the "fourth brother" looked extremely calm, "I have the strength to scold people, I might as well think about how to deal with this matter." As far as I know, in the pocket of the one in the palace, Zhang Yongzhao is not the only candidate. ”

"The fourth is right!" Qingxiu's face glanced at the fat man gratefully, and suddenly raised his voice and added, "The one in the palace will definitely not let the princess die alone like this when she is young." will not let the princess endure loneliness and raise a monk. Therefore, even if there is no Zhang Yongzhao, there is still Wang Yongzhao and Li Yongzhao......"

"Then it's better to marry the princess directly to the second brother!" The "masked little ghost" who was called the third brother by everyone quickly interrupted. The voice was cold and dry, like a crow grinding its beak with a stone on a winter night, "The second brother marries the princess, and everything is settled!" ”

"I'm afraid that the one in the palace won't!" Someone was in the corner, retorting in a very low voice.

"Kill him who takes a liking to him, and what the princess likes! Naturally, he had no choice! The masked ghost "Third Brother" voice sounded again, with a bone-piercing coldness.

Everyone was stunned, and turned their eyes to Wu Yanxiu, the only unmasked and handsome face, who still holds the title of Duke Huan Guo, expecting him to make a final decision.

And Wu Yanxiu didn't speak for a long time. After hesitating again and again, he finally slowly crossed his hands and bowed down to everyone.

"Quack, quack, quackβ€”" The crows clamoured again in the courtyard, as excited as if they had found a rotting corpse.

The moonlight is like water, shining into every courtyard in Chang'an City, and it is always the same cold.

A flock of crows rose into the air, "hulala" with their wings, covering the moonlight.
