Chapter 589: Enter the city to see Aunt Mei
"Then I won't stay longer, if I leave early, I can finish the matter sooner, if I delay any longer, I'm afraid there will be other moths. "Seeing that it had been arranged, I immediately said goodbye to Zhang Hao.
"Well, then I won't keep you longer, Yu Wei is after the matter is done, you must come to my Haw Par Villa again, and then I will definitely treat you as a guest of honor and treat you well." "Zhang Hao is also a sensible person, knowing that I was in a hurry, so he didn't keep me longer, and sent us out of the gate of the villa, so he promised me.
"It's a bit of a distance, and if we choose to take the road route, it's a bit dangerous. I recommend taking the waterway, which is relatively safe and faster if no one pays attention here. After the three of us walked out of the villa, Xiao Si took us to a small pier not far from the villa and explained to me.
"Listen to you, go as safe as you want. After I pulled the peony on the boat, I said to the little four who were rowing the boat.
Xiao Si doesn't look very old, but he is very calm, he doesn't like to talk much, except for the necessary reminders, he basically has little communication with us during the journey of the River Styx.
It was only after almost a day of sailing that I heard a loud shout of slaughter, and I immediately understood that this should be the center of the war.
"After you go ashore, you can walk a few kilometers to the left from here, so that you can reach the territory of King Qin Guang, and I can't accompany the two of you to continue to move forward, I hope you two will understand!" After Xiao Si rocked the boat to the shore, he said to me a little embarrassed after we got on the boat.
"Where, little fourth brother, we are already very grateful that you can send us here, and when I finish my business, I will definitely go back to you for a drink, so don't say goodbye." "I don't take his words to heart at all, I have never met him, it is very good that he can send me off, and I will walk with Peony on my own for the rest of the way.
"According to what Xiao Si said, let's just walk towards this river. After parting with the fourth brother, I paused and said to Peony, and after finishing speaking, I took her hand and walked carefully to the left.
A few kilometers doesn't sound far, but it's actually quite far, and I walked for about two or three hours along the way, and finally saw a city, which must be the territory of King Qin Guang that Xiao Si said.
What came into my sight was a large area of ghosts slowly walking towards the city under the guidance of some soldiers in armor, and I looked closely to see that some were civilians, others were scarred Yin soldiers.
Even if these people are ghosts, the picture created is also very shocking, and this is what the mourning field describes all over the country!
"Alas, brother, are you a soldier of the Ghost King or the Hades King?" Peony and I slowly advanced with the procession into the city, and called out to a Yin soldier in front of me, and asked casually.
"How the fuck do I know? Originally, I was going to ask my children to burn some money for me to live, but before the dream could be trusted, he was arrested by a group of people, asked me to join the army to fight, and sent me a look of guilt, so I rushed into battle in a daze, and before I could do anything, I immediately stepped on the trap and made myself the ghost I am now, who do you say I recruited to provoke whom?"
"Uh...... I hope you will ask for more blessings, brother!" I saw him limping with a cane, and I knew that this brother was really unlucky to come home, and I must have been unable to inquire about him anymore, so I stopped asking.
Walking into the city, I took the peony to inquire around the city, and finally inquired about my grandfather's mansion, but what surprised me was that the door was closed in broad daylight, and it turned out that the door had been blocked by refugees.
When these ghost refugees saw that Peony and I were dressed brightly, they judged that I was rich, and immediately rushed to beg me.
"The main gate shouldn't be able to enter, let's go to the back door!" In such a crowded situation, I really didn't dare to call the door, in case these people took advantage of the situation to rush in and make trouble, it would be troublesome, so I whispered a reminder of Peony, and took her to the back door.
"Aunt Mei, Aunt Mei!" After some effort, we finally found the back door of the house, which was in a small alley, and seeing that there were no refugees here, we went up and knocked on it, and lowered our voices and shouted twice.
After shouting, I saw a little maid open the crack in the door and look at us, and then I was immediately pleasantly surprised, and said excitedly: "It turned out to be the young master, come in quickly!"
"Nothing has happened in the mansion lately, has it?" After entering, the little maid locked the door and led us into the backyard, and I hurriedly asked her.
Because I listened to what Zhang Hao said, once the war was first affected, it was the eunuch's house, and I was worried that those grass robbers would come to harass me, and the house here was given to my grandfather, but I didn't expect it to become a conspicuous existence, and it also added a lot of danger.
"Madame told us not to come out as much as possible, even the things needed for daily life in the mansion have to be secretly found to find a trustworthy shop, this time is really scary, our door is knocked every three or five times, some are officers and soldiers, some are refugees, if it weren't for our lord's foresight, in the house to raise dozens of families, or there would have been a big incident. ”
As soon as the little maid saw me coming back, it was like opening up the conversation box and talking to me a lot, but I was not impatient, and it also gave me a better understanding of the situation.
"Madame didn't hurt anything, did she?" and then I asked about Aunt Mei's condition.
"Madame is fine, waiting for the master to return to the house every day, but the old man followed the Hades King to fight the rebels outside, and I don't know when he will come back, but the young master is back, which must make Madame very happy." "The little girl is quite good at talking, and I feel very comfortable talking about it.
"Hurry up and take me to see Aunt Mei!" Hearing her answer, I immediately instructed her, hoping that Aunt Mei could know Grandpa's whereabouts, as long as she found Grandpa, then Hades would also be able to find her.
"Yu Wei, salute Aunt Mei!" The little maid took us away for a while, and finally came to Aunt Mei's room, and shouted very respectfully towards the door.
"Ah, Yu Wei, why did you come back suddenly?" I shouted for a while, and after the door opened, I saw Aunt Mei walking out surrounded by a few maids, and asked in surprise when she saw that it was me.
