Chapter 123 [Cloth Scroll]
Xu Jingtang came back with a black face. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Behind him was a group of Feather Forest Guard soldiers who were obviously scarred, and after the battle, the entire local officers and soldiers of the city were awakened, and at this moment the streets were noisy, but the battle had stopped.
Xu Jingtang's face was cold, and his mood seemed to be extremely bad, he simply dismissed the frightened dignitaries, and then went straight to the courtyard where he stayed, leaving only a black and gray figure.
There are Yulin guard soldiers explaining this battle, talking about the evil cultivator who came to kill here, and has been beheaded by Commander Xu, the matter is over, don't worry about Yunyun.
But discerning people know that there must be a secret in this, if it is really as the soldier said, the evil cultivator has been ambushed, it should be a credit, but how can Xu Jingtang have half a good face?
"Let's go too. Yuan said.
The four of them climbed into the carriage and did not trouble the Yulinwei soldiers, but still drove from Sanzang to Xu Jingtang's courtyard, and there was a Yulinwei emblem on the carriage, but they did not encounter interrogation along the way. Yo You and Sanzang were obviously still immersed in the scenery they had witnessed before and could not be completely pulled out, and the worry on Xie Caiwei's face had already climbed up the branches of her eyebrows.
Yuan came to look at the quiet girl and suddenly smiled: "What's the matter, what do you want?"
"Nope. Xie Caiwei shook her head, bit her pink lip and suddenly turned her head to look at him and said, "I just think this world is so chaotic." ”
Yuan Lai nodded with deep feeling and sighed, compared to the undisturbed and clean small building in Xie Caiwei's home and the quiet and silent book world in which she was always immersed, the Great Apocalypse in this reality is of course chaotic, there are battles, there are battles, there are those on the bright side, and there are also hidden on the dark side of the world.
All this made the original simple little nerd feel a little uncomfortable, or rather hesitant.
Yuan Lai subconsciously felt that at this moment, he should take out a cigarette from his clothes and look at her with vicissitudes of life, and then use that not charming voice to talk about life, ideals, and the future with this girl.
It's better if there's wine, and it's the perfect environment to seduce a girl from a good family.
Of course, this can only be imagined, like a meteor flashing in his mind and then disappearing into the darkness of the night.
"When we get back, let's talk, alone. He said suddenly, smiling amusefully.
"What?" Yo-Yo poked her little head over and looked at him curiously.
Yuan Lai patted her head awkwardly and said, "Go and help Sanzang see the way, it's not that you don't know, he's a bit of a road idiot!"
......
......
When Xu Jingtang returned to the mansion, he really showed a look of defeat, he didn't lose a battle with Han Baohu, although he didn't expect the other party to find out his own details, and understand the weakness of his own begonia, he didn't know where to take a pure Dao fruit containing pear flower spirit avenue, so that he suffered some dark losses, but Han Baohu, who couldn't really completely let go of his strength, could only let him suffer some minor injuries even so.
When Xu Jingtang pierced the pear blossom with a shot, he was shocked to find that Han Baohu had quickly retreated, and his last action was to slap the miserable and inhuman Zheng Shibai to destroy the soul, and then threw the soulless body over, and then led a group of northwest soldiers into the mountain, and then Xu Jingtang knew that it was useless even if he continued to chase.
He couldn't keep Han Baohu, his five hundred forest cavalry in the mountains couldn't show his true power at all, and Zheng Shibai was dead, and this imperial mission could also be said to have failed.
"My lord......" The adjutant surnamed Liu quietly came to his side and shouted.
Xu Jingtang glanced up at him and said, "Did you find anything?"
"......No," he shook his head and continued, "General Zheng has completely returned, and we haven't spared every trace of his clothes, skin, and flesh, but unfortunately nothing has been found. ”
Xu Jingtang had expected it, but he still couldn't hide his disappointment, he sighed: "Zheng Shibai has an important position in the Northwest Army, he has been following Shentu Wojia all these years, and he has a deep understanding of the entire Northwest Army. As for what he got or didn't get, I don't know, but His Majesty ordered me to wait to come and pick him up, after all, it was to get what he brought back or the news he had in mind, but now we haven't seen anything, and the person is also dead. ”
At this point, his sadness deepened.
Adjutant Liu, who was standing next to him, hurriedly said, "My lord, we have done our best." ”
Xu Jingtang shook his head, didn't say anything, and said: "Send the order to go down and search the burned yard well, don't even let go of the grass and ashes, and see if you can find something, if you still find nothing...... Then forget it, return to Beijing as soon as possible and be punished. ”
Xu Jingtang smiled bitterly, his heart heavy.
"Then, my lord, General Zheng's body ......"
"Find a place to bury it, keep it secret, he ...... He was already a dead man, and he was also deducted from the hat of an evil cultivator when he was dying, and his family was not able to benefit from this name, but he also managed to send his family out of the northwest, and now the best result is that His Majesty is kind to secretly let his family live better, but how good can it be?"
Xu Jingtang smiled bitterly and shook his head.
However, he didn't know at all that Han Baohu and the others at this time were also pale.
"No?!Nothing?!" Han Baohu gritted his teeth and looked at the tall and thin man in front of him, his eyes were really like fierce tigers, and it seemed that he was going to kill him in the next moment.
The tall and thin man said bitterly: "It's really not, we have been tightly controlling Zheng Shibai since we found it, and when we found an opportunity outside the city, we searched every inch of him, and that thing really couldn't be found." ”
Han Baohu's face was gloomy, staring at the Northwest sergeants who were neatly lined up in front of him, he suddenly gritted his teeth and said: "All of us, we will all go back at dawn, go back to Bacheng, and then search that garden carefully!"
"The Eight Formations can be lost! The details of the army can also be known by the imperial court, but the key must be found!"
"Yes!"
......
......
After the four of them drove back to the mansion, they each went back to their rooms to rest, Yuan Lai also carefully returned to his room, and after entering the room, he waited quietly for a while, and only sat down by the candlestick when he saw that there was nothing abnormal.
A brocade bag appeared in the candlelight, it was tightly sealed, and there was Zheng Shibai's bloody handprint on it, Yuan Lai carefully untied it, and then poured out two rolled silk cloths and a small black stone from it.
"It's ......"
He picked up the small stone and looked at it, but he didn't feel anything unusual, he unfolded the two pieces of silk again, smoothed them, and looked at them carefully, and he was really taken aback at this time.
