Chapter 44: The Blizzard
Tongues of fire drilled desperately out along the gaps between the wooden walls, turning everything they touched into ashes.
Smoke swirled up from the rooftops, quickly blackening half of the sky, and from a distance, it looked like a dragon writhing in the clouds.
A moment later, under the gaze of everyone, the old inn let out a final 'wail' and completely disappeared into the flames.
"Final...... Finally, he died! β
Xiao Qicai became very excited, it seemed that in this world, only killing people could make him feel happy, but he didn't know that this was a sick psychology.
Such anomalies can occur when people want to achieve a certain goal, but they always fail one after another.
At this time, a nearby cavalryman was puzzled: "What a strange thing, the fire has been burning for more than half an hour, and it is still quiet inside." β
The people trapped in the inn seemed to be beaten with iron, and under such a fierce fire, they couldn't even hear a chirp.
"Then you can go and investigate!" Xiao Qicai suddenly sneered, drew his saber, and spurred at the horseman under the cavalryman.
The horse felt the pain and ran forward as hard as he could, plunging straight into the flames.
"Ahh Yes! β
The cavalry rolled to the ground, covered with flames, which could not be extinguished no matter how much they pounced.
The surrounding cavalry was forced by the pressure of the military department Shangshu, and could only watch their comrades being burned alive without going to help.
Hearing the screams of his subordinates, Xiao Qicai's face was ugly and said, "No wonder Fang Cai didn't move, it turned out that this Zhennan King really ran away." β
"Shangshu, let's hurry up!"
The cavalry just wanted to get out of the place as soon as possible, lest the next tragedy happen to them.
"You have listened carefully, immediately search the surroundings, even if it is over the mountains and mountains, you must find the king of Zhennan."
"Yes!"
At this moment, in the woods not far away, a large number of tiger guards were watching the movements around the inn and observing the cavalry's every move at any time.
"Boss, that military department Shangshu Xiao Wizard, his heart is really poisonous, he treats his subordinates as dogs, let's go now."
"Don't talk nonsense, there is an order in the saint, unless the king of Zhennan is dead, no one is allowed to kill him."
Cai Yi had a piece of grass in his mouth, and he was thinking about how to fight the enemy in order to minimize casualties.
After all, they are still in the military department, and there are so many guards around, I am afraid that they will have to make a big move when dealing with it.
The cold wind in the valley was very rampant, blowing on people's faces like knives, and soon snowflakes fell.
The shopkeeper was shivering from the cold, and said with a white breath: "Er...... The two guest officers, with a little more effort, will soon arrive. β
Now that they have walked more than half of the distance, they will have another stick of incense to see the gate of the cottage.
Chen Ze draped the mink fur over his fiancΓ©e's body and carried her on her back on the rugged mountain road.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the mountain was covered in snow, a world of beauty, but also dangerous.
Because after the temperature plummets, the damage to the body is very great, and when various hallucinations appear in front of people's eyes, it is not far from freezing to death.
"Talk to me for a while." The gold sore medicine really worked, and now Gu Linghuan's face is much better.
"What do you want to hear?" When Chen Ze heard the other party's words, it was as if he had been stimulated, and his steps were faster.
Gu Linghuan cheered up and asked softly, "I want to hear the truth, who are you?" β
The other party's appearance is too charming, and his voice is better than his daughter's family, even if he is wearing men's clothes, he can't feel that he is a man.
Chen Ze replied calmly: "Jian Rou is my name, and Chen Ze is my real name." β
"Hehe......" Gu Lingjun smiled very far-fetched: "To be honest, I have been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and I have never met a liar like you." β
can deceive a person's heart, such a liar is the most powerful, and it is also the most difficult to prevent.
Chen Ze smiled and said: "Let's call it not a family, if we don't enter a family, who made us all lie." β
Hearing the other party's words, Gu Linghuan was relieved: "That's right, I'm not qualified to criticize you, but you are a man after all, and ...... Look at me again. β
"Don't worry, I won't look at you in vain, I'll let you see enough on our wedding night."
Chen Ze has never liked to owe others, since he has seen other people's bodies, let's find a chance to pay it back.
Gu Linghuan blushed and put his head on the other party's shoulder: "If it were me who is ordinary, I would have taught you a lesson." β
Chen Ze laughed and said: "That's not good, after all, you are a master, how can you be violent to your apprentices, and it is not good for your reputation to spread it." β
"I ......" Gu Linghuan was speechless, the relationship between the two is so complicated, they really can't get along like an ordinary couple.
At the same time, the shopkeeper, who had been leading the way in front, suddenly jumped up happily and said, "It's here!" It's here! β
The mountains in the distance are winding, and there seems to be no end in sight, and halfway up the mountain, a very magnificent cottage is in the sight of the three people.
"Liuyun Village, the name is actually very elegant." This is the first time Chen Ze has seen a real cottage, and he has only seen it on TV before.
"Of course, we are big leaders, we have studied before, and we have been admitted to Xiucai, if we were not cornered by corrupt officials and evil officials, how could we end up in such a situation."
The shopkeeper seems to admire his own leader very much, and two of the three sentences are praising this person.
Chen Ze understood that this bandit leader was not from a low background, and it is estimated that he offended someone before he was forced to go to the mountains to fall into the grass.
So as long as you are not a reckless person, you have the need to make friends, one more person, one more force.
Chen Ze is now suffering from having no real power, and he doesn't even have a decent team, once he arrives in Jinling City, won't he be at the mercy of others again.
I think that during the Three Kingdoms period, Dong Zhuo controlled the government and relied on the military power in his hands, and he couldn't stiffen his waist without military power.
If he can win over this bandit under his command, it is equivalent to having an army of several hundred people, and he will have the confidence to do things in the future.
After thinking about it, Chen Ze spoke: "Little second brother, I will ask you a few questions now, if you can answer them, I will give you another ten taels of silver." β
"Guest officer, just ask, I absolutely know everything."
As soon as the shopkeeper heard that there was money to be made, his eyes smiled like crescents, and he could get money by selling a few news, which was a beautiful thing for pies in the sky.
"You two are in charge, what is the relationship with the big boss?"
Chen Ze's first problem is to find out the loopholes in the cottage and use people's hearts to win over.
The shopkeeper thought for a while and replied in a low voice: "We are the big boss, and there is actually a contradiction with the second boss." β
