Volume 1 Ancestral Hall Chapter 39
"Let's go, let's go!" A person who picks up a heavy object walks through the crowd, staggering, and everyone is afraid of being smashed, so he is far away.
At a table in the far corner, a young man took a sip of the tea on the table, looking at the endless flow of people.
"Humph!" The young man glanced at the corner of his mouth, leaving only half a cup of tea on the table.
"Keep up!" Around the corner, a few people followed.
In a sparsely populated alley, the young man turned the corner and walked into the alley, and after a while, several men followed him, and before he had gone far, he found that the alley was a dead end.
"What's going on? How is this a dead end, people? ”
"Are you looking for me?" Suddenly, words came from behind him, and several people suddenly stood on their hairs, slowly turned around, and looked at the young man who appeared behind him at some point and said.
"How is that possible? We've ......."
"Do you think you're hiding well?" The young man said
"Shall I tell you, I have known since the day you followed me, I just want to know what you want to do? But after waiting for so many days, you are still just secretly observing, and you have not done anything, and I don't have enough time, so I ......"
The young man smiled.
But this smile seemed to several people like the smile of a demon when he did something cruel.
He took a light step and put his hands together.
"How? How many can you talk about it? Who sent you? ”
Several people were slightly panicked, and after looking at each other a few times, they said, "Brothers, don't be afraid, he is only one person, on!" ”
Several men drew a dagger from their waists and rushed towards the young man.
Seeing them rushing towards him, the young man shook his head slightly, "Why bother?"
The young man's footsteps moved, as if everything around him had slowed down.
Fast! Permit! Vicious!
In an instant, several people were incapacitated,
"Stained stains! Look, I'll just say it, and let me do it yourself."
He walked up to one of them and looked at him, "Now you can talk about it, who sent you?"
When he met his eyes, those people looked a little panicked, but they still didn't let go, which made him wonder, who trained it?
"Okay, I don't have much patience, if you don't say it" took the dagger from the hands of several people, looked at it carefully, and said, "This dagger is quite sharp, I don't know what it feels like to cut on my body"
Hearing his words, I obviously felt a slight tremor in the bodies of several people.
"You know what? There is a kind of criminal law called Ling Chi's punishment, which is to use a knife to cut a person's body one by one, and the person who is scratched will not die immediately, and the general endurance may be about five or six knives or seven or eight knives to die, but do you know? There are some people who bear it, it's really terrifying, they still haven't died after eight or ninety cuts, and the bones have come out."
As he spoke, he slashed the knife on the face of a man, who looked at the dagger in front of him, only a few centimeters away from his face, and sweat fell down his cheeks drop by drop, and his whole body trembled even more.
"I can't stand it, General Yunchao sent us!" The man said, and after saying that, the whole person breathed a long sigh of relief and relaxed.
The young man asked, "Who is General Yunchao?" Why did he send you to spy on me? ”
"General Yun Chao is one of the right-hand men of the Great Commander of Long Fei, this time he suddenly ordered a few of us to supervise you, we just obeyed orders, and we don't know why he wants to supervise you, we really don't know anything, you have a lot of spare us!"
"I'll ask you a question, and if I answer it satisfactorily, I'll probably let you go."
"Okay, okay, excuse me, as long as we know, we will know everything, and we will say everything," a few people nodded wildly
"Do you know where the remaining soldiers and horses of the Burning Cloud in the last battle with the Nameless Army are, and what generals are there?"
Hearing his question, several people were stunned at first, not understanding why he asked this question, but thinking that their lives were in the hands of others, they said, "The last battle with the Nameless Army was true, but we did not participate in that war, and a lot of information is hearsay"
The young man said, "It's okay, just tell me everything you know."
"Okay," the men said
"As far as we know, this battle was very tragic, both armies suffered countless casualties, and on our side, we directly lost many generals, even the general of the unified army, General Lieyun died in this battle, and there were only a few generals in the retreating army."
"And General Yunchao has a younger brother, Lingchao, who is one of the cadres under the command of Gale Wind, and one of the pioneers of this battle, and there is another general left, called Cheng Xiao."
“……”
On the street, the young man frowned slightly, thinking about what to do next.
He heard from those people that General Yun Chao had recently invited several generals to his mansion as guests, including Ling Chao, which was a good opportunity for him to start, but the problem was that the general's mansion must be heavily guarded during this time period, and besides, those generals were not vulgar, how could he get in? No matter how to escape after solving the person, it's not that he's afraid of death, it's just that this person is just one of the targets.
I saw that in front of a wall, many people gathered together, and when I stepped forward, I saw that it was General Yunchao's Mansion recruiting people, and the corners of his mouth moved, and slowly retreated.
General Yundae's Mansion!
Located in the southwest street of Bashu one of the most magnificent generals' mansions, after a while, the young people came to a rather imposing mansion, the vermilion lacquer gate hung above the plaque of "Yunda General's Mansion",
On both sides of the gate, there are two majestic lions, and they are guarded by fully armed soldiers. walked straight in, about two hundred steps away, and saw the Ink Shadow Pavilion.
A low and wide building, the gate is closed, there is a small field in front, and all kinds of weapons and some stone locks and stone piers are placed around it, presumably it is the martial arts hall. It's the time for a lunch break, so there aren't too many people. The increasingly intense heat wave at noon invaded wantonly, and the young man standing under the scorching sun became slightly uneasy.
He is Mu Lin, since he entered the mansion, all kinds of scenes have made people feel grotesque and dignified. At this moment, the oppressive aura exuded by the burning of dazzling hard iron and steel seemed to have fallen into a predicament like an ambush on all sides. Bypassing the martial arts hall, the scenery has changed suddenly. Behind is a pond, which divides the General's Mansion into two distinct areas, and the garden courtyard looming behind the green trees is the Houfu, and a wooden arch bridge collapses over the pond to become the only way to the backyard. Under the sun,
The surface of the pond reflects the light of broken gold, and the purple water lilies are blooming in the water, and against the reflection of the green trees, it looks more delicate and soft, refreshing and chic. Close your eyes and listen, there is the sound of flowing water slowly into your ears, presumably the pool is the living water drawn from the Yong'an Canal, which is more refreshing. The disturbing heat seems to have dissipated in all directions, and the mood has returned to a clear and clear calm. The pond is surrounded by green trees, colorful summer flowers, frogs and cicadas are lively and funny, making people forget that they are in the General's Mansion at this time, and forget the tense atmosphere before, but it is like entering a fairyland on earth.
But this was only the scene of noon and morning, and in the afternoon, the atmosphere of the entire General's Mansion changed again.
From a few people before, to these dozens of people who are busy back and forth now,
The subordinates shuttled back and forth in the mansion, looking very busy, too, their own generals feasted other generals, and the row must be large, otherwise how could they highlight their status as generals?
Thinking of this, these of them will be complacent as subordinates, although they are just subordinates, but they are also considered to be people in the general's service, and it is also a very dignified thing to say it, which makes them themselves feel superior.
They hung some paintings in each corridor and pruned the flowers around them, and even the usually solemn martial arts arena became lively.
"Hey, who are you, what do you want to do all the time standing there?" A voice sounded, interrupting Mu Lin's thoughts.
"Oh, I am, I saw a notice outside that the General's Mansion was recruiting people, so I thought I'd give it a try, maybe I'll be lucky and I'll be selected in one go," Mu Lin said
"Haha, there are a lot of people in our general's mansion who want to come, and you may not be able to enter the threshold if you change the usually, but you are lucky today, the general's mansion has always been only soldiers, and there are not many people, but our soldiers only know how to fight and charge into battle, but when it comes to doing these things, we rough men can't do it, so we temporarily recruited some people to help, so there is a shortage of people at present, and you are also lucky" The man didn't say anything after saying for a while, just asked Mu Lin to pack up the weapons in the martial arts field.
When he came to the martial arts arena, looking at the blades on the knife and gun racks, the cold light was shining, Mu Lin couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart, he was still thinking about how to get a weapon at that time, but now it's okay, don't worry about this matter directly.
"Hey!" A voice came, and Mu Lin turned to look at the person who came and said
"Do you have something to do with me?"
The man handed the flower basket in his hand to Mu Lin and said, "Send this flower basket to the young lady's courtyard."
Mu Lin scratched his head and asked, "May I ask where is Miss's yard?" ”
The man was suddenly surprised, "Don't you even know where Miss's yard is?"
"Yes, I only came to the General's Mansion today, and I am not familiar with many places," Mu Lin said
"It's okay, I'll show you the way, if I wasn't busy, I wouldn't let you go, you just follow that road and go all the way, and then pass by a gazebo to get there"
"Okay"
Follow the pebble sheep intestine path all the way to the flowers and willows, but see the pavilions and pavilions around, the wild geese swept up a clear blue in front of them, the willows along the coast are still around, and the willows hang down in the clear water to reflect the clear shadow.
In the middle of the lake stands a pavilion, and the green tiles are flying. Look again, not far away of the rockery strange stone level, paved with the rich flowers of the red carpet corridor runs through the entire pavilion, the pavilion is almost covered with carved lattice windows, elegant and exquisite.
This must be the young lady's courtyard!
