Chapter 127: Bonfire Fox Singing
Out of scruples, Chongfan finally didn't dare to say the words "pretending to be a ghost" in the back.
Although there are two or three thousand people in his Red Eyebrow army, less than one-tenth of these people really have a certain combat power, and the rest are stronger than the outcasts. Compared with Chen Wu, the Volunteer Battalion and the Taiping Battalion also have 3,000 people, but everyone is equipped with comparable equipment to the officers and soldiers. If you really want to provoke Chen Wu, you can crush his Red Eyebrow Army in minutes.
Wang Huifang also completely calmed down at this time.
What his Good Friends Association is best at is pretending to be a god and playing ghosts, and at this time he was already very sure in his heart, this was a trick that Chen Wu made up in order to raise his value, and he couldn't help but sneer: "General Chen, what do you say about this silk book?" ”
The Red Eyebrow Army and others were forced by the strength of the righteous army and did not dare to say it, but his Good Friends Association did not have such scruples.
The trick was exposed, Wang Huifang thought that Chen Wu would be a little flustered, or he didn't know what to do. As long as he doesn't admit it, Wang Huifang actually can't do anything about him. But unexpectedly, Chen Wu's face seemed to be very surprised, he took the silk book and looked at it carefully, couldn't help but be furious, threw the silk book on the table and said: "The most unbelieving thing in Chen's life is ghosts and gods!" If things are really predestined, what's the point of our efforts? The leader of Chongfan is right, this silk book, I am afraid that it was then stuffed into the belly of the fish, in order to pretend to be a ghost, and his heart can be punished! ”
This play is not sung correctly......
Chen Wu's attitude made Wang Huifang and Chongfan stunned, and they couldn't understand whether Chen Wu was pretending to be a gesture or really thinking so. Moreover, if this "Taiping Xing, Chen Wuwang", if it wasn't your own ghost, could it be that someone else deliberately made it to promote you? Who is so kind?
After looking at each other for a moment, Wang Huifang finally said tentatively: "General Chen." You really didn't arrange this silk book? ”
"Naturally not!"
Chen Wu denied it loudly. Probably because there are still people who doubt it. He immediately said, "Who made this carp?" Just ask! ”
"What General Chen said is good."
Zhou Naichun and Cao Rui nodded in agreement, a good carp, a silk book suddenly appeared in the belly, and the content was like this. Such a strange thing, if you don't find out the truth, it's really hard to swallow.
Wang Huifang also wanted to demolish Chen Wu, so he immediately ordered to go down.
A moment later, a somewhat pale cook was brought up. Maybe I think the food I make is not to everyone's taste. He looked a little nervous about being punished.
"Who are you?"
Wang Huifang looked at him a little familiar inexplicably, and couldn't help but ask.
"Back to the king, the villain's name is Liu Shouhui, and he is the person of the Jiang Xiang master. Because I work in Longshan City Restaurant, I have been helping to take care of the food of our Good Friends Association since I came......"
What's going on?
Everyone in the room couldn't say a word for a long time.
This cook was not arranged by Chen Wu, but from the Good Friends Association's own people!
Although these forces here are not aware that the relationship between the Good Friends Association and the Taiping Righteous Army has actually broken down, and they are only one step away from reaching the same situation, they can probably feel it. The relationship between the two sides is actually not as close as it seemed a few days ago, and now Wang Huifang's actions are even more so.
In this case. There is no reason for the Good Friends Association to raise the hand of the Taiping Army.
Wang Huifang obviously didn't expect this to be the case, he was stunned for a few seconds, and asked, "Do you know what's going on with this fish in the silk book?" ”
"Silk books?"
The cook didn't seem to understand what was happening, and repeated it before replying in a rambling manner. Although it sounds a bit headless and tailless, one thing is certain, this fish is basically completed by the chef from the beginning to the serving, and I didn't see any suspicious people interfering.
As for the food after serving, it is even more impossible, in front of everyone's eyes, no one has that ability.
Now it's a bit of a strange thing.
Either the cook of the Good Friends Association is lying, or the fish belly silk book is really not done by man.
Wang Huifang couldn't help it, but in front of so many people, he couldn't do anything about this cook, so he could only continue to ask: "What about this fish?" Where do the fish come from? ”
The rest of the food and livestock were basically brought by the Righteous Army and the Good Friends Association. Fish is different and can only be purchased locally.
A few minutes later, the man who had helped the cook was also called up, and replied, "Back to the generals, this fish was bought by the villain from the banks of the Red Water River." It is also strange to say that the villain wants to give money after buying the fish, but the old fisherman refuses to accept the money, and mutters something like 'old dragon' and 'destiny'. When the villain left with the fish, he walked more than a dozen steps, and when he looked back, the old fisherman was gone! ”
Saying this, he seemed to have palpitations, he wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, and sighed: "It's also a loss of daylight, otherwise it won't scare people to death." ”
The Hongshui River is a small river near Shouchuan, and the water source of the army is almost all from the Hongshui River, except for a few wells in Shouchuan. However, the Hongshui River does have the legend of the River Dragon King, and the history must be at least a hundred years. At the east end of Shouchuan Village, there is an old Dragon King Temple, which is said to be quite effective, and the incense is constantly burning on weekdays.
At this moment, the heads of more than a dozen forces were a little unable to sit still.
Just a fish-belly silk book is enough, but after following this silk book, even the dragon king of the Hongshui River was found out. There were a few people who were more superstitious on weekdays, and the eyes that looked at Chen Wu suddenly felt a little wrong.
"You two are lying!"
Wang Huifang wanted to take the opportunity to embarrass Chen Wu, but he didn't expect this to be the situation, so he couldn't help but scold loudly.
"The villain will never dare!"
"The Lord will be angry! What Liu Shouhui said is true, every sentence is true! If there is half a nonsense, the Maitreya Buddha will send down the world-destroying thunder and blast the villain's five thunders to the top! ”
The two of them kowtowed and swore repeatedly, no matter how they looked at it, it didn't look like they were lying.
This made Wang Huifang angry and angry.
What Maitreya Buddha is, it is simply the set of rags handed down from the Smelling Fragrance Sect. He himself sent someone to brag about it, how can he not know the truth or falsehood? But after all, this Maitreya Buddha is the foundation of his own religion, and the other party swore with Maitreya Buddha, and Wang Huifang really didn't dare not admit it. He could only snort coldly and sent the two of them away for the time being. In my heart, I made up my mind to pay attention, and when I go back, I must take down the two of them and interrogate them well.
However, a wonderful drama will not end lightly.
Just when the two of them went down and the atmosphere in the house was extremely strange, someone outside hurried over, it was Chen Wu's personal soldiers: "General, there has been a strange noise in the Dragon King Temple since nightfall...... Many of the rebel brothers were a little uneasy. ”
Dragon King Temple!
The matter of the silk book was not over, and then this appeared, which immediately stirred the nerves of the leaders in the house. Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and finally looked at Chen Wu in disbelief.
"This is really a coincidence...... Chen Wu reluctantly made a calm look, and said, "Why don't we go over and have a look together?" ”
Everyone had no objection to Chen Wu's suggestion, so they each set up guards, and there were one or two hundred people who came to the Dragon King Temple at the east end of Shouchuan Village.
Because it was getting late, the soldiers of the Taiping Righteous Army who stayed here overnight were already preparing to rest. Who would have thought that there was a strange sound suddenly coming from this Dragon King Temple, and some people had the courage to go in, saying that they saw the Dragon King statue move. Everyone suddenly didn't dare to rest, and ran away one after another.
In front of the empty Dragon King Temple, only two large bonfires were left, which crackled from time to time.
However, the crowd stood there for a moment, and nothing happened except for the faint sound of a fox in the distance.
Blown by the cool breeze outside, the leaders of the group lost some of their alcohol and calmed down a lot. Seeing that there was nothing unusual, Zhou Naichun, Cao Rui and others also breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, if there were any ghosts and gods here, then they really didn't know how to face Chen Wu next.
"What's the noise?"
Chen Wu stood with his hands in his hands, his face dissatisfied, and asked the guard: "I don't rest at night, who is this rumor that is spreading nonsense and disturbing the hearts of our army?" ”
The guards also looked a little embarrassed, and said, "I was obviously ...... before"
As he was talking, a fluctuating sound suddenly sounded near the Dragon King Temple again. Before anyone present could react, the cry of the fox, which had only been faintly heard before, suddenly became much clearer, as if it had suddenly come closer for several miles. Listen carefully, that voice is like the three words "Chen Wuwang"!
The strange sound of the fox continued three times in a row, and finally drifted away, and there was no trace of it.
The faces of all the leaders of the forces present, including the guards they brought, changed. Looking back at Chen Wu, under the darkness of the night, the flickering light of the bonfire shone on him, suddenly giving people a mysterious majesty. Think about the scene when the Taiping Righteous Army started, invincible and invincible all the way, like God's blessing.
The former Taizu and the founding emperor of the Qianyuan Empire are all the same.
Could it be that the person in front of you is really there?
In the face of this successive anomalies, Mo said that others, even Wang Huifang, who was the best at pretending to be a ghost, couldn't help muttering in his heart.
"Although it's a little weird, Chen still doesn't believe it, there are ghosts and gods in this world." After a moment of silence, Chen Wu slowly spoke: "Pass on my order, tonight's affairs, all departments of the righteous army are not allowed to talk about it, and those who violate the military law will be dealt with." Please also do not make rash arguments, so as not to disturb the morale of the army - after all, the battle of Wu'an is just around the corner. ”
"Yes, yes, what General Tiangong said is very true!"
Although Wang Huifang didn't know why Chen Wu restrained his subordinates from keeping silent, this was undoubtedly a good thing. What he is most afraid of is that Chen Wu will use the topic to play, and everyone in the army will know about it, and then use this to control the power of the entire coalition army. Now Chen Wu took the initiative to ask everyone not to mention it, so naturally it would be the best.
Zhou Naichun and other leaders of Haoqiang and horse bandits, seeing Chen Wu's request, didn't care what they thought in their hearts, they also agreed one after another.
However, the story of the fish-bellied silk book and the bonfire fox chirping was not suppressed with the ban as they expected, but because of the large number of witnesses and the strange and bizarre things, it spread explosively overnight. (To be continued......)
