Chapter 235: Black City Black Shop
Liu Mingge escorted the four of them all the way day and night, all the way to the east, and walked for more than ten days before arriving at the boundary of Suizhou.
At this time, Suizhou was already an ownerless city, the Wei army could not control it, and the soldiers and horses sent by the Cui family were also transferred a few months ago, and there were neither defenders nor officials in the city.
Liu Mingge wanted to continue to rest outside the city and leave, but he couldn't stand the three women and a child clamoring to go into the city to buy clothes and food.
The originally gorgeous and glamorous Concubine Gong'e was already black and yellow on her face, her hair was stained with leaves and withered grass, her clothes had already been pasted with a layer of black things, and she had not taken a bath for many days, Huang Chunzhi desperately smeared the spices she carried with her, and the smell was particularly pungent.
Liu Fuan was also attracted by the smell of steamed meat and roast chicken in the city, crying that he was hungry and wanted to eat.
Liu Mingge couldn't resist them, so he had to go into the city to buy clothes and food with them.
Huang Chunzhi and Jin Zhi Yinzhi took all the gold, silver, hairpins and jade pendants on their bodies to sell, changed a bunch of clothes, and bought Liu Fu'an a bunch of flatbreads, roasted chicken, cooked meat, and gnawed on them while walking.
In order to comfort Liu Mingge, the three of them bought him two pots of wine and four roast chickens.
Liu Mingge was naturally unkind, eating and drinking with the roast chicken in his left hand and the wine pot in his right hand, the three women rolled their eyes and begged Liu Mingge to stay in the city inn for one night.
Liu Mingge shook his head while eating, "No, the situation in the city is unknown, it's better to be careful"
After speaking, Liu Mingge subconsciously looked around this small alley, and the three of them all pouted, "There are no soldiers here, what are you afraid of!" Just one night! ”
"I don't care, I want to take a shower!"
"I can't stand it anymore, so I'll stay overnight and leave tomorrow morning! The rooster crows and goes! ”
"I'm going to stay with Chun Niang, Liu Dashenren, and I'll stay overnight, overnight!"
Liu Fu'an called Liu Mingge Liu Dashenren, Liu Mingge smiled, "You are quite good at watching the direction of the wind, okay, according to you, remember not to go out at night!" There's a problem in this city! ”
Five people lived in the hotel, Jin Zhi and Yinzhi lived in one room, Liu Mingge, Huang Chunzhi, and Liu Fu'an pretended to be a family and also asked for a room.
Liu Mingge sat cross-legged on the ground and meditated, squinting and quietly waiting for the four of them to fall asleep.
At the third watch, Liu Mingge quietly jumped down from the window to explore the city, and sure enough, there were five houses that were brightly lit.
Liu Mingge quietly approached the first rooftop to take a look, this mansion is Chen's mansion, the house of Suizhou Taishou in the past, it stands to reason that it has long been abandoned, but at this moment there are four bonfires in the courtyard.
Liu Mingge's outfit of these people felt familiar, and after taking a closer look, it turned out that the people of Zhongyi Hall gathered here to carry weapons.
Liu Mingge went to the second mansion again, and it was the people from Zhongyi Hall who were counting the grain, grass and medicinal materials, and it seemed that they were preparing to use Suizhou as a base. However, the hundreds of people here looked familiar, and Liu Mingge looked closely at the people who were doing business in various parts of the city during the day.
The third house is the Jishan Courtyard opened by Zhongyi Hall, which has taken in a group of orphans, and several leaders are telling these teenage orphans about how to be a faint monarch and traitorous ministers, and so on, and say that the officials and soldiers of Daliang killed their families and made them orphans, etc.
The next step is to let the orphans be grateful to Zhongyitang, kowtow and wipe their tears, etc., and at the end, everyone recites a sentence "Zhongyitang is mighty, save the world!" "They will be given two flatbreads and a piece of meat and a bowl of porridge.
After eating the flatbread and meat, and drinking the porridge, we have to recite again again, "Eat the rice of Zhongyitang, serve the bowl of Zhongyitang, and fight for the people of the world!" Zhongyitang is mighty! ”
The childish face was full of some confusion and unprovoked fanaticism, and the children competed to see whose voice was louder.
willow
Mingge looked at these people carefully, and the people who delivered the cakes and porridge were the people who sold cakes to Huang Chunzhi and them during the day, and among them, several children, Liu Mingge also gave them a few money.
Liu Mingge didn't want to make any extraneous branches, so he quietly went to the fourth house.
This house is unusually quiet, there are no people in the yard, but the ground is full of things, and the smell is very fishy.
When a few people came out to carry things on the ground, Liu Mingge saw clearly that these were some people's thighs and arms.
Seeing a few more people lifting in a few more thighs, Liu Mingge took a long breath and opened the roof tiles to take a look.
At this look, Liu Mingge was shocked, there were several big stoves in it, as well as four boards, dozens of people had a clear division of labor, cutting meat and removing bones, burning fur, stirring sauces, these people actually made the aroma of beef and mutton from human meat.
No wonder they can give their children meat every day, it turns out to be human flesh.
The next scene that shocked Liu Mingge even more appeared, after these people processed these thighs and arms, they actually used these meat mixed with sauce and roasted on the stove to eat on the spot.
Liu Mingge didn't feel nauseous at first, but swallowed his saliva, and then remembered that Liu Fu'an and the three women had eaten the meatloaf they made during the day, Liu Mingge wanted to vomit a little.
Liu Mingge quickly left from the roof, regardless of whether he had alarmed the people in the house.
There was really a problem here, but after Liu Mingge sneaked back to the room, he found that Huang Chunzhi and the others were gone, the door of the next room was also open, and the golden and silver branches were nowhere to be found.
A cold sweat broke out on Liu Mingge's forehead, if Liu Fu'an and the others were made into meat cakes, what kind of face would he have to go to see the emperor and ministers of Daliang again.
The ticket is tied to the sword maniac's nose, is there still a royal law?
However, it is true that there is no royal law in this world, and Liu Mingge knew that the place where the people of Zhongyi Hall killed these passers-by must be the fifth mansion, so he ran without hesitation.
When Liu Mingge arrived, four strong men were walking into the yard carrying sacks one by one.
Liu Mingge jumped down and killed four people with a sword, swinging the rope on the sack and slashing it away.
Untied the sack, but the four of them were unconscious, it turned out that they had been turned over by the medicine, Liu Mingge had to jump into the abandoned mansion next to them with their hands on their shoulders.
Liu Mingge only felt that he had stepped on something, and when he looked at it by the moonlight, it turned out to be a gnawed and shapeless human head, and there was a mutilated torso next to it.
Looking at the gap again, Liu Mingge suddenly understood that the people locked up in this yard were either wolves or dogs, fed with human flesh, and had a ferocious temperament.
Before he had time to think about it, more than a dozen guys with green light had already rushed out with a roar, but fortunately, Liu Mingge's giant sword grew up, and a burst of red mist appeared in the moonlight, and more than a dozen vicious dogs were all cut in two.
The dog barked, and the people from Zhongyitang definitely wanted to come, but at this time, they would definitely not be able to get out with four people. Liu Mingge gagged the four people with rags and tied them to the beams of the house, and could only bet that he could come back before dawn
Liu Mingge scolded, "I have always forced others to choose, and today I was forced to gamble!" ”
Liu Mingge jumped on the wall, there were already hundreds of torches surging there, Liu Mingge ran over with a giant sword, swept away, killed dozens of people, and the rest picked up stones and bricks and threw them at Liu Mingge.
There was a man hiding in the corner and shouting, "Don't get close to him, don't fight with him, smash him!" We still have reinforcements, and the bed crossbow will be brought in later, no matter how high his swordsmanship is, he won't be able to run! ”
Liu Mingge knew that this was the enemy deliberately trying to scare him back, but at this time, he was not allowed to retreat, Liu Mingge swung his sword and cut down a few people before jumping onto the wall and running.
Liu Mingge didn't run far, but hid on a big branch not far away and watched the movement here.
The torches gradually dispersed, and there was a fire in the courtyard where the vicious dog had been slain, and only someone could hear someone shouting, "Pull the dog away, don't waste it, it's also meat!" ”
"The people who died before were also dragged over, and I can't sleep tonight, so I have to finish it overnight!"
Liu Mingge stuck the giant sword on the side of the tree trunk, and quietly sneaked over again, only to see that the people of Zhongyitang continued to dispose of the previous corpse as if nothing had happened, and pulled the grass and wood ash to the ground.
Liu Mingge was about to rescue the four of them to get them out, and he heard a dog barking not far away, and the people of Zhongyi Hall were much faster than the people in the imperial court.
I said that I would change a dozen dogs, but in less than an hour, the dogs were brought in.
Liu Mingge quickly entered the previous Guan Gou Mansion and used two wooden sticks to resist the door from the inside.
Liu Mingge first took Huang Chunzhi and Liu Fu'an to climb over the wall and ran to an abandoned house half a mile to the east with their arms between their arms left and right, and then came back to save Jin Zhi and Yinzhi.
By the time Liu Mingge returned, the door had been opened, and more than a dozen dogs were barking at the beams.
The people of Zhongyi Hall suddenly understood that there was someone in the room.
Liu Mingge had no choice but to jump in from the roof and forcibly save the two of them to run along the roof to the west, at least to lead the people to the west, so that they could not find Huang Chunzhi and Liu Fu'an again.
Liu Mingge ran on the roof with the person in his hands for a while, and finally shook off the chasing people.
But at this time, the golden branch and the silver branch still did not wake up, and were still asleep.
Liu Mingge was a little tired at this time, and took a deep breath, it is not a way to go on like this, the location they are in now, it won't take long for Zhongyi Hall to find it.
At this time, the crow screamed, Liu Mingge suddenly thought that he still had the pill on his body, and he didn't care about the preciousness of the pill at this time, so he took out a pill and broke it in half and fed it to the sisters of the golden branch and the silver branch.
The two sisters woke up and hugged Liu Mingge and cried, it turned out that they were caught and fed drugs when they were awake, and so was Huang Chunzhi.
The reason why I cried was because several of the leaders of Zhongyitang were brutes, so they cried a lot.
Liu Mingge patted them, "In the troubled times, it's best to live!" Survive first! The two of you just climbed over the wall and went to the north, where there is a Taoist temple, and you open a hole in the ground behind the Sanqing statue in the Taoist temple and go in. I'm going to save the little princes! ”
Liu Mingge got up and went to the roof again, and ran to the place where Huang Chunzhi and Liu Fu'an had been placed before, but fortunately, no one was chasing him this time, so he quickly carried the two on his shoulders to find the golden and silver branches.
When Liu Mingge and Jinzhi Yinzhi converged again in the Taoist Temple Cave in the north, Huang Chunzhi finally woke up, and he was also in pain after waking up.
Huang Chunzhi thought differently from the Jinzhi sisters, and immediately wiped her tears and said to Liu Mingge, "If you don't listen to Mr., you have to this point, I don't think their skills are bad, and it will be difficult for Mr. to go out with us!" Why don't you take the little prince away, and come back to avenge us in the future! ”
Liu Mingge shook his head, "It can't be like this, they don't know our identity, they are just here to kill people and rob money!" ”
Next, Liu Mingge told them everything he saw.
"During the day, when people from outside come in, we can go out! In broad daylight, if they are caught doing such inhumane things, there will soon be an army to exterminate them! ”
Liu Mingge asked them not to talk about these things anymore, and after returning to Yuzhang, he would not tell anyone.
Liu Mingge looked at the portrait of Lao Tzu on the stone door of the cave and sighed, "I thought it was just a black shop, but I didn't expect that the whole city was a black shop, no, it's a black city!" This world is really getting more and more bottomless! ”
