Chapter 12 Experimental Skills (II)

Of course, there are no ghosts in this world, and if there are, then someone is also pretending to be a ghost.

There is no doubt that this person who pretends to be a ghost is none other than Xu Kang, who sneaked into the backyard just now in order to test his skills.

And from the frightened expressions of the two carpenters, he knew that he had succeeded.

"Although the skill of stealth is a thief's unique skill, it is too wasteful to really be a thief, not only is it difficult, but once exposed, there is a danger of being beaten, it is better to use it to pretend to be a ghost, even if you accidentally appear, you can be scared."

Thinking of this, he suddenly had a bold idea.

"Lao Tzu wants to go out and make extra money!"

After deciding on it, he ignored the two trembling carpenters, sneaked out of the backyard directly, and went all the way out of the gate, and came to the streets of Luoyang City.

By this time night had completely fallen, and it was pitch black everywhere, and there was no one to be seen in the streets except for the patrolling soldiers who were fading away.

Obviously, because of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Luoyang at this time has entered a state of curfew.

In such a special period, ordinary families closed their doors early, and only some high-ranking families still hung lanterns at the door to guide the direction of the late returnee.

And this is also very convenient for Xu Kang.

It took him nearly an hour to enter the central city from the edge of the outer city, and then he found a house with a lot of lanterns, a very large area, and soldiers guarding the gate.

Looking at the plaque above the gate that read "Great General's Mansion", he nodded with satisfaction.

"Well, within a radius of a few miles, except for the palace, it should be the most generous in his family, the breath of the nouveau riche is coming, if I guess correctly, this should be He Jin's mansion, just his house!"

After selecting the target, Xu Kang, who was in a stealth state, swaggered to the door, and then "bang-bang" a few times in a row.

This shot didn't matter, and it immediately frightened the two soldiers guarding the door.

Glancing at the empty gate, one of the soldiers suddenly said to the other in a trembling voice, "Just ...... Just now...... You...... Have you ever heard someone knock on the door? ”

Of course, the other soldier also heard it, but in order to comfort himself, he could only stiffen his face and forcibly explain: "Don't ...... Don't think about it, someone is probably banging on the door inside! ”

This explanation obviously doesn't work, after all, the doors are opened from the inside, if someone wants to come out, just open the door, how can anyone slap the door inside?

And most importantly, judging from the sound just now, the sound of banging on the door was clearly coming from outside, but now there is no one else at the door except for the two of them, so who is banging on the door?

The more they thought about it, the more frightened they became, and just as they were hesitating whether to escape, they only heard a "squeak", and the door of the General's Mansion opened.

A servant dressed in blue walked out and asked them, "Who was knocking on the door?" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Hearing his question, the two soldiers standing outside the door glanced at each other, but neither answered.

Seeing this scene, the servant who had just come out immediately frowned, and a trace of displeasure flashed on his face.

"Do you know what it's like to make trouble here...... Oops......"

Before he finished speaking, he felt that someone was pushing him next to him, and he was caught off guard, and he suddenly fell to the ground with a "poof".

Before he could react, he heard a "clang", and the vermilion door behind him suddenly closed.

Seeing this scene, the servant was dumbfounded, and the two soldiers no longer hesitated, directly threw the weapon in their hands to the ground, and then turned around and ran.

He shouted at the top of his voice as he ran.

"Ah...... Hell ......"

"Haunted...... The General's Mansion is haunted! ”

The night of the curfew was very quiet, so the shouts of the two were extremely clear, and basically all the servants and maids in the outer courtyard of the General's Mansion heard it.

At this moment, the sound of the copper basin falling to the ground, the sound of things shattering, and the woman's exclamation suddenly became one, which made Xu Kang, the initiator, amazed.

"That's too much of a reaction, isn't it? It's like a scoop of water poured into a pot of boiling oil, tsk...... It's incredible! ”

Although he sighed in his mouth, when he thought that all this was caused by himself, he felt an inexplicable relief and satisfaction in his heart.

"I haven't done anything yet, and I made such a big noise, it seems that I am really different!"

Although he was so happy that he was not carried away by this little achievement, he had already heard the sound of rapid running and the grinding of armor, and it was obvious that a group of armored soldiers had arrived.

Xu Kang knows very well that at this time, he can only be stable and not wave, if he accidentally plays with it, he will become a real dead ghost if he pretends to be a ghost.

Continuing to remain in a state of stealth, he cautiously walked through the outer courtyard, followed a flustered maid through the three arches, and came to the inner courtyard of the General's Mansion.

At this time, the inner courtyard was brightly lit, and with the accompaniment of more than a dozen musicians, a group of graceful girls were singing and dancing in the courtyard, and their clothes were fluttering and luxurious.

On the other side, He Jin, a fat-headed and big-eared general, was watching the dancing of the girls while drinking wine and eating meat under the service of several concubines, which was really unhappy.

When he saw the maid with a panicked look and hurried steps, he immediately frowned, and then threw the wine cup in his hand on the table with a displeased face.

"What kind of system did you panic and say, what happened?"

Seeing that He Jin was angry, the maid was so frightened that she knelt on the ground with a "poof", "The general spares his life, the slave and maid don't mean to offend the general, just because the front yard is ...... Front yard ......"

Hearing her stammering, He Jin became more angry, immediately stood up, pulled out his sword with a "poof", and shouted angrily again.

"Say it quickly, I'll kill you if I don't say it!"

"Ahh

Seeing that He Jin even pulled out his sword, the maid suddenly became more and more frightened, and kowtowed desperately on the ground.

"The general spares his life...... The general spared his life...... The slave did not dare to deceive the general, and the front yard ...... The front yard is haunted! ”

"Haunted? You actually said that the General's Mansion is haunted? ”

Hearing the maid's words, He Jin was stunned at first, and then his face became gloomy, and then he slowly walked towards the maid kneeling on the ground with his sword in his hand.

"How can my Great General's Mansion be haunted? You dare to bewitch the public, if I don't kill you today, I'm afraid I will become the laughing stock of the world! ”

Speaking of this, he ignored the maid who had already knocked his head bleeding, and slowly raised the sword in his hand.

Just as he was about to stab the maid to death with a sword, a hoarse voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"That's right, why is the General's Mansion haunted? Lao Tzu is a fairy who was actually called a ghost by her, if it spreads, wouldn't I want to become the laughing stock of the fairy world? This maid really deserves to be killed, not only should she be killed, but the entire General's Mansion should be killed, right? ......"
