Chapter 73: Birthmarks
Wu Chen followed the instructions of the two errand disciples and successfully entered the dark market, and there was indeed no shortage of high-quality weapons here. Wu Chen wanted to leave quickly, so he didn't pick and choose, so he bought a long knife from a simple stall, and bought an antique scabbard by the way.
He asked the owner of the shop for directions, and when he left the dark market, he could go to the nearest market to hire a horse-drawn carriage, and then head north.
This knife is very similar to the scimitar he used when he led his army to kill the enemy on the battlefield, and it can give him familiar sensations and strength. Wu Chen weighed the knife and didn't pay much attention to the road, but he felt that a huge object suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking the light in front of him.
"Boom!"
He strode more violently, slamming into a tall man with a muffled thud.
Wu Chen subconsciously raised his head, this tall man was more than a foot wider than himself, and he was also a head taller, and he stood in front of him like a hill.
Wu Chen looked at this, and the person next to Dahan said, "Childe, it turns out that you are here." ”
Wu Chen followed the voice and looked at it, isn't this a disciple of Ying Tianfu? It was the one who answered him in Chen Cang and was the first to jump out in the rain to ask questions. Although he was wrapped in a robe like a zongzi at that time, Wu Chen still recognized his face.
He was standing to the left of the tall man, looking at Wu Chen and smiling meaningfully.
"Brother Tai is good, Brother Tai is also coming to the dark market to buy things?" Wu Chen said casually with the knife on his back.
Shopping?
The tall man snorted through his nostrils, ignoring it, as if he was standing here to stand in the way.
The disciple who greeted Wu Chen had a smile on his face, but his tone was not friendly: "We are here to find you." The lord of the mansion has an order, and he specially invites the son to return to the house. ”
"Going home?" Wu Chen was surprised.
Didn't I just come out?
"Is there something wrong?" Wu Chen asked again.
"I don't know, but the master of the Dao Mansion ordered you to go back. ”
Wu Chen looked at the imposing appearance of this group of people, and had a sense of uneasiness in his heart. What is the opportunity not to say anything, and now that you are gone, and then called back?
Besides, looking at the attitude of this group of people, I'm afraid it's not as simple as calling it back, it should be caught back.
Wu Chen was alert in his heart, looking for a way to escape for himself, but he was not familiar with this place, so he could only change his words: "The identity of the mansion master is noble, what do I have to talk about with the mansion master, brother, don't joke, I still have something to do and go first!"
He finished speaking quickly, staggered away from the tall man, and just took two steps, only to hear a sound from behind, and he was dragged back by the collar.
The tall man dragged Wu Chen back like a chicken, and the other disciple beside him smiled at the corner of his mouth: "I don't dare to joke about the order of the lord of the mansion, and I will ask the prince to go." ”
The disciple who talked a lot just now also came up and persuaded him: "It's a good thing that the lord of the mansion has summoned you, this is worthy of you." ”
Wu Chen smiled at him, thank you for this affordability!
"Then please lead the way. Wu Chenpi smiled and said with a smile.
Even if there was no such man as tall as a bear, just the five Ying Tianfu disciples who had built the foundation behind him, Wu Chen would not be able to escape smoothly.
Acting vainly in front of this tall and strong man, Wu Chen was afraid that he would pounce on him and crush himself into a meatloaf. Walking with these six people, Wu Chen said in his heart, this strong man is like a bear, could it be the bear demon?
It's scary to think about.
Entering the Ying Tianfu Guangming Peak again, this time the mansion master summoned faster than the last two times.
Wu Chen walked into the palace of the mansion lord Han Qing and bowed to the mansion lord on the high seat: "Meet the mansion master." ”
He said this sentence three times in just two days......
The attendants in the hall had already been emptied by the mansion master Han Qing, and the hall was silent for a long time, only the two of them, only to hear the mansion master Han Qing say: "Wu Chen?"
Wu Chen made up his mind and thought about it, but in the end he was speechless.
Han Qing got up, and Wu Chen looked at the old woman who was walking towards him, and felt a little apprehensive in his heart. How could her apricot eyes reveal such a chilling air?
"Your name is Wu Chen, you follow your adoptive father's surname, and your adoptive father is also surnamed Wu?" Han Qing walked up to Wu Chen's side, pacing back and forth.
"Yes, the lord of the mansion has a good memory. ”
Han Qing ignored Wu Chen's sarcasm and continued to ask, "What about your biological father?"
"I don't know who my biological parents were, but I have been living with my adoptive father. ”
"You originally served in the Frontier Pioneer Army, but you were selected to enter the Dust Breeze Road, what crime did you commit?" Han Qing looked at Wu Chen with a pair of sharp eyes, and changed the topic to ask.
"Confidential. ”
"Confidential?" Han Qing raised his voice and sneered: "The dust road involves the Alpha clan, you can just shirk it with a secret, and the matter of the border military camp is also a secret? If you have a secret in my Ying Tianfu, I will make your whole person a secret in this world." ”
Her voice was deliberately slow, but it was even more terrifying. This is a threat from Chiguoguo, if I don't say you'll kill me?
"Escape!"
Han Qing wanted to threaten again, but he didn't expect Wu Chen to answer immediately. He thought to himself, what if I say you?
"Why did you run away?" asked Han Qing with his eyes pricked up.
"I'm afraid of death!" Wu Chen spread his hands, can't you see this: "The mansion master said that he wanted to kill me, and I immediately confessed, because I was afraid of death." ”
Hmph, Han Qing smiled contemptuously, this kid will also play tricks. Since he was perfunctory, Han Qing didn't plan to argue with him about these uselessness: "Why did you join the army?"
The old woman seemed to be interested in what happened when she was young, and asked her surname and her adoptive father, which may be strange......
However, I can't tell her about the murder of my father and the robbery of my adoptive father, so I will rely on making it up.
"My family was poor, so I went to the conscription, and there was food and drink in the barracks. Wu Chen replied.
"Where are you from, and why did you join the Frontier Army?"
"I'm from Xiluo Village. ”
"Xiluo Village?" Han Qing looked at it again, isn't that a village on the southeast border, there are no people anymore over the years: "Xiluo Village is not close to the border army, and there are also conscripts?"
Wu Chen saw that the woman asked carefully, so he could only continue: "At that time, when I was young, I followed two older brothers, I went wherever they went, how can I know so much." ”
Han Qing stared at Wu Chen's eyes, unable to see that he had the intention of lying. Wu Chen didn't tell all lies, when the whole island was slaughtered, Wu Chen was not yet sixteen years old.
After he came out of the island, he met two begging children who were older than him, and several of them begged along the road together, and it was also a coincidence that he encountered conscription.
"Who is your adoptive father?" Han Qing walked around, still going around to his adoptive father.
"Honest man, he is very hardworking, and the whole village can't compare to him when he does farm work. Wu Chen continued.
"He's still in the village?"
Wu Chen shook his head: "I have been out of the village for many years, and it is said that the village has been attacked by foreign races, and my adoptive father has long been missing. ”
Han Qing's eyes seemed to be misty, and he didn't seem to have much patience to continue to circle with him, and asked directly, "Is there anything on the soles of your adoptive father's feet?"
Something on the soles of your feet?
"It's calloused, it's thick. Wu Chen said.
"Don't be presumptuous!" Han Qing stared: "I'll ask about birthmarks!"
"Birthmark?" The topic turned so quickly, and the question was really careful, Wu Chen shook his head and made a reminiscence and said, "No." ”
"You've thought about it, are you sure?" asked Han Qing.
"I saw my father washing his feet, and the soles of his feet were scars from farm work, and I don't know what birthmark the lord was talking about, so I'm sure it's not. Wu Chen said, but he sweated in his heart.
Han Qing turned around and turned back again, looking extremely uneasy in her heart, and then she said decisively: "A red birthmark, born with it, in the middle of the foot, is there it?"
Han Qing kept staring at Wu Chen's eyes, not giving him a chance to lie.
Wu Chen heard it, and he hid his emotions and replied decisively: "No, that's no." The soles of my father's feet, except for calluses and scars, have no red birthmarks. ”
Han Qing's eyes showed disappointment, and his tense face finally relaxed, hey...... She let out a long sigh.
Wu Chen hurriedly controlled his thoughts, for fear that the sweat in his hair would flow out of his forehead and be seen by her.
He said that his adoptive father did not have a birthmark on the soles of his feet, which was true.
However, he did have a red birthmark on the sole of his foot.
