Chapter 41: Don't Count (4K, Ask for Pink Tickets)

"Huaixuan, look over there!"

Deacon Lei rode a horse and ran up from behind, pointing to the night sky east of the capital for Zhou Huaixuan to see.

Rockets flew up and down in the sky, marking trails in the night sky, like fireworks.

Zhou Huaixuan had already seen it, although he felt strange, but his purpose now was to hurry home and discuss important things with Old Man Zhou.

"Leave it alone, let's go." Zhou Huaixuan whipped his horsewhip fiercely and ran towards the west gate of the capital.

"Open the door!" When the group came to the west gate, they immediately called the door.

The people who watched the city gate came out, and when they saw the seal letter of the Divine General's Mansion, they didn't say a word, and immediately let them go.

The group rode horses and galloped into the city and headed for the Divine General's Mansion.

On the night of August 15 in the second year of Zhaoli, the gate of the capital city of Daxia was destined to be very unpeaceful.

The defenders of the West Gate were woken up by the people of the Divine General's Mansion and let them go.

The defenders of the East Gate had no such luck.

The defenders guarding the east gate were killed directly at the city gate, and it was not known who had entered the city.

……

August 15 is the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The people of the capital of Daxia have the custom of eating crabs, drinking osmanthus wine, and admiring the moon.

Sheng Siyan took Ah Bao and Feng's family, Old Man Zhou, and a large family in the second room of the Zhou family to enjoy the moon and watch osmanthus in Guiyuan at night, of course, eating crabs and drinking osmanthus wine.

Ah Bao sat in Old Man Zhou's arms all night, babbling and dragging his great-grandfather's beard from time to time to speak, although no one could understand what he said, he still enjoyed it.

For Old Man Zhou. Although the most painful eldest son Zhou Chengzong and grandson Zhou Huaixuan are not around, with Ah Bao, he can also relieve his worries a little.

Everyone understands Mr. Zhou's thoughts, and it is not easy to persuade them, just idle about the shortcomings of parents.

None of the people in the third room came.

Because the third room of the third room and Wu San's grandmother have passed away, the people of the third room want to give them filial piety, and they will not come out during the festival.

The news of Wednesday's death only came out this morning.

And Jiang Siniang's search for Zhou Huaili in the capital also spread throughout the capital at night.

The second room of the Zhou family has been sandwiched between the big room and the third room for so many years. Only now is it a sigh of relief.

However, they are still very embarrassed that Grandma Wu San and Master Zhou passed away so early.

Hence this Mid-Autumn Festival family feast. In the end, it ended hastily.

After sending away the people in the second room of the Zhou family, Sheng Siyan persuaded Feng: "Mother, go to bed early." I'll just watch and clean up here. ”

Feng Shi felt very tired all day today, and he didn't know why. It's just lazy. Can't keep up the spirits.

She just didn't have the energy to do anything else. He nodded, got up and said, "Then I'll go back first." Don't be tired, just let the next person watch and clean up here. ”

Sheng Siyan said: "It's okay. Here I am. Watching Feng take his subordinates away.

Old Man Zhou walked over with Ah Bao, who was already asleep, and said, "Siyan, listen to your mother's words, and go back to rest." What's the problem if you can't put these things away? ”

Sheng Siyan hurriedly stretched out his hand to take Ah Bao over, and said, "Grandfather, are you tired too?" Po made a fuss all night, and you weren't angry......"

"He's still young, why am I angry?" Old Man Zhou, "Xuan'er didn't make a fuss when she was a child, but I was angry." ”

Sheng Siyan sneered, hugged Ah Bao and patted him, "Grandfather, you are used to Ah Bao." In the future, if he is disobedient, I will leave him alone and leave it to you. ”

Old Man Zhou laughed and looked up at the full moon as white as a mirror, "I will be satisfied if I can live for another ten years." ”

"Of course you'll live a long life." Sheng Siyan smiled, "I can see that your body and bones will be fine if you live for another fifty years." ”

"Fifty more years? Then I'm not going to be an old goblin. Old Man Zhou smiled and waved his hand, "You go back." It's windy and remote, and it's not good for you to stay here as a woman. ”

Sheng Siyan was extremely moved, and responded softly, "Then grandfather will come with us." "I just didn't care, and handed over the mess of the cups and plates here to the next person to clean up.

Old Man Zhou thought about it and nodded, "It's okay, let's go back." Saying that, together with Zhou Da Steward and Zhou Xianbai, he sent Sheng Siyan and Ah Bao back to Qingyuan Hall.

Mother Fan followed them with a group of maids.

When he was about to arrive at Qingyuan Hall, Old Man Zhou said to Sheng Siyan: "Huaixuan is not at home, and it is not easy for you to enter the palace." When Huai Xuan comes back, you and he will hand the fold into the palace and say hello to the saint. ”

Sheng Siyan nodded, "Listen to my father, the saint has been sick for a while, and I don't know what the illness is, my father's hair is gray." ”

"Sheng Qi's illness is indeed rare." Old Man Zhou smiled, "You have a chance to help take a look." I've heard that you're also very good at medicine. ”

Sheng Siyan blushed and said curtly, "...... I have a few hands and three-legged cat skills, and I will laugh and be generous. ”

Old Man Zhou raised his head and laughed, "Your chess skills are excellent, I don't know which one is more outstanding than your medical skills?" ”

Sheng Siyan only felt cold sweat trickling down his forehead, and he couldn't say a word.

Zhou Xianbai and Zhou Da couldn't help but turn around, holding back a smile and shrugging their shoulders.

The group walked to the door of Qingyuan Hall and stood still, Sheng Siyan saluted Old Man Zhou, and went in with Ah Bao in his arms.

Old Man Zhou took Zhou Steward back to his yard.

Zhou Xianbai went back to the outer courtyard.

The lights in the inner and outer courtyards of the Divine General's Mansion gradually dimmed, and only the two lanterns on the gate emitted a gentle light, illuminating a vacant space at the door, and there was a black-on-background gilded red door plaque with three big characters written "Divine General's Mansion".

Although it was still early, Sheng Siyan was already sleepy, and after she went to the bathroom to wash, she took Ah Bao to sleep together.

After Zhou Huaixuan left, Sheng Siyan took Ah Bao to bed and slept with her.

In the middle of the night, Ah Bao suddenly let out a sharp and high-pitched cry, which woke Sheng Siyan up at once.

She was so frightened that she sat up and hugged Po in her arms. Gently patted and coaxed: "Little rabbit is good!" Open the door......"

In the past, as long as he recited this children's song, Po would listen intently and slowly fall asleep.

I can't sleep today, just like that night, those "blood-sucking monsters" attacked the outer courtyard of the Divine General's Mansion.

Sheng Siyan's heart moved, and he got up from the bed with Ah Bao in his arms and walked around the house.

Po's crying gradually subsided, but it didn't stop completely.

He hugged Sheng Siyan's neck tightly and sobbed constantly.

Sheng Siyan was very pitiful and leaned his fat head on his shoulder. Stick your own face to his forehead. Calm his restless feelings.

It didn't take long for a hurried voice from outside the door to hear Barley: "...... Grandma, I have an urgent matter to see! ”

Sheng Siyan was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at the clock leak in the room.

It's already sub-hour.

"It's so late. What's the matter? Sheng Siyan's heart tightened. I'll come out now. ”

She put on a blue robe. Walked out with Po in his arms.

Zhou Xianbai's expression was very solemn.

"Grandma." He bowed, "Our people have reported that there is an abnormality in the East City Gate." Someone climbed over the wall to enter the mansion of Wu Guogong. ”

"Oh?" Sheng Siyan frowned. "Over the wall, over the wall, what are you doing in such a hurry?"

"But the people who climbed over the wall and went in were not like ordinary people." Zhou Xianbai hesitated and said, "According to our people's reports, those people are a bit like the 'vampire monsters' who broke through the Divine General's Mansion at the beginning. ”

Sheng Siyan was stunned, "Then they are breaking into the Wu Guogong Mansion at night?" "Did she think wrong?

Zhou Xianbai shook his head, "Obviously not." For soon after they entered, they came out of the corner gate of the Duke of Wu's mansion and went to the east gate. ”

"East Gate? Is that the East Mountain? Sheng Siyan looked in the direction of the east, "It doesn't seem to be peaceful." ”

"It's not peaceful. If I'm not mistaken, there are fireworks and murderous ......," Zhou Xianbai said softly.

Sheng Siyan sighed, looked at the full moon in the sky, and said, "I don't know when Huaixuan will come back." He's not at home, and his heart is empty......"

As soon as she finished speaking, the curtain of the outhouse opened, and a tall, slender man walked in.

"The eldest son!"

"Huaixuan!"

"Daddy!!"

Zhou Xianbai, Sheng Siyan and Ah Bao shouted together.

The smile on Zhou Huaixuan's lips flashed, he stretched out his hand and hugged Ah Bao from Sheng Siyan's hand, "It's so late, why haven't you slept yet?" ”

When Ah Bao heard this, he quickly closed his eyes, lay on Zhou Huaixuan's shoulder, and fell asleep.

Sheng Siyan's long-lost reunion was ruined by Bao's kid, she smiled and said: "Obviously, he didn't sleep in the middle of the night and woke me up again, but now he pretends to be fine." ”

Zhou Huaixuan smiled and looked at Zhou Xianbai: "It's so late, is there something urgent?" ”

Zhou Xianbai nodded hurriedly and said what he had just said again.

Sheng Siyan also said: "It's really weird these days. We sent people from the Divine General's Mansion to patrol the vicinity of the mansions in order to keep track of their movements, and I think some of the mansions are indeed a little suspicious. After a pause, he said, "Especially the Duke of Wu Guofu." ”

"So it's them?" Zhou Huaixuan's expression gradually became solemn, and he put Ah Bao back into Sheng Siyan's arms, "There must be something in Dongshan, I'll go and take a look." ”

Zhou Xianbai hurriedly said: "Eldest son, take me with you!" ”

Zhou Huaixuan shook his head, "You are still guarding at home, I brought the fallen people over." Just take them with you. ”

Ah Bao didn't pretend to be asleep at this time, looked up at Zhou Huaixuan from Sheng Siyan's arms, nodded vigorously, and couldn't wait to let Zhou Huaixuan take him with him!

Sheng Siyan saw Bao's thoughts, shook his head and said, "This is not good. You can play your little prestige at home, who cares about you when you go out? You give me a good life and stay honest, and then go out when I grow up and learn my skills. ”

Ah Bao had no choice but to watch Zhou Huaixuan's back disappear at the gate of the courtyard.

Sheng Siyan was very worried, but he didn't stop Zhou Huaixuan.

She carried Ah Bao back to the room and silently went to the incense burner in the east room to put a stick of incense.

……

Zhou Huaixuan took the fallen people out of the Divine General's Mansion, and this time, they did not ride horses.

With their skills, they can go out of the city to Dongshan, and they will be faster without riding horses.

They unfolded their unique methods of depravity, disappeared from the city like ghosts, and when they reappeared, they had already come to the foot of the eastern mountain outside the city.

Dongshan's situation tonight is very strange.

This Shandong province faces the sea and is full of cliffs.

From time to time, whistling rockets are released from the top of the mountain, like colorful fireworks blooming.

From time to time, there was a fire bursting out from the middle of the mountainside, like a large furnace wrapped in iron sheets, and you could not see what was going on inside, only the occasional sparks splashing out.

The western slopes were staggering, and it seemed that many wild beasts were shuttling and coming.

"Huaixuan, what the hell is going on?"

Zhou Huaixuan waved his hand, and they all entered the mountain road and ambushed in the bushes.

As soon as they hid, the group rushed down from the hill again.

Zhou Huaixuan waved his right arm, and a long rope flew out silently, quietly leashing those who rushed down from the mountain.

The man flew through the air, and before he could shout, he had already fallen into Zhou Huaixuan's hands.

Deacon Ray immediately stepped forward and gaged the man's mouth.

When the person who rushed down from the mountain ran away, Zhou Huaixuan took out the cloth in the man's mouth and asked in a deep voice, "What's going on on the mountain?" ”

The man began to grit his teeth and not speak, and even planned to bite his tongue and kill himself.

But with Deacon Ray here, where is his turn to control his own life and death?!

Deacon Lei didn't speak, but pulled out a wild goat that he had just caught from behind him, and slapped it with an expressionless palm in front of the man, turning the wild goat's head into meat puree.

Being slapped into meat like this is not the kind of death that bites your tongue and kills yourself......

The man was so frightened that he immediately abandoned his mortal heart, quickly knelt down, and no longer dared to seek death, and said tremblingly: "Don't kill me, strong man!" ”

Zhou Huaixuan asked lightly: "If you tell the truth, I won't kill you." - What's going on on the mountain? ”

The man closed his eyes and said like a bamboo tube pouring beans: "Someone attacked the villa tonight, everyone was caught off guard, just now the commander went up, saying that the troops are still not enough, let us go down the mountain and move the rescue troops." ”

"Where is the lodge? Who attacked the lodge? ”

"The villa is on the mountainside over there. The people who attacked our villa had three leaders, wearing three strange masks, and they looked like ghosts......"

"What?!" Zhou Huaixuan's face froze, and he grabbed the man's clothes, "What did you say?" What mask? What kind of mask does it look like?! ”

"That's it...... It's all painted on the face...... It's scary. ”

"What color mask?!"

"One red, one yellow, and one purple." The man hurriedly said, "These three masks really scared my father to death!" The pattern is exactly the same, but the color is different. ”

Zhou Huaixuan's expression changed greatly, he took a few steps back, and his steps staggered.

Deacon Lei slapped the man in the face and reprimanded, "Scared dad to death?!" Who's your father! ”

The man said with a sad face: "The little one is wrong, he is wrong, you are the father, you are the father!" ”

"Phew! I don't have a son like you! Deacon Ray took a bite out of him.

Zhou Huaixuan shook the long whip in his hand and whipped it on the man's head!

The man screamed and rolled to the ground, howling, "...... You said you wouldn't kill me! You lie! He twitched twice on the ground, and then he died.

"I never speak to the enemy!" Zhou Huaixuan said coldly, turned around and flew towards the place where the fire was shining on the mountainside!
