Chapter 15: A Strange Town
After Xie Changyu finished fighting, he took the brocade and cleaned his hands, and he didn't even bother to give the other party a look.
"The former county lord is also the concubine born to your aunt who can chew her tongue? Xie Ling'er, if you want to die, my sister will buy you a knife, you can solve it yourself, don't implicate the people of our side clan. ”
"I'll kill you!"
Xie Ling'er was angry, and slapped at Xie Changyu's arrogant and beautiful face.
"I can't help myself. ”
The slap was thrown into the air and was firmly grasped by Wen Jingliang: "Ling'er, calm down." ”
Xie Changyu's good-looking brows frowned slightly, but Wen Jingliang helped her unexpectedly.
"Xie Changyu, the capital is not Wuzhou, Ling'er has a saying that is right, they are all top nobles over there, and people can crush you to death with one finger, you can do it yourself. ”
Do you still need to remind you about this? Xie Changyu smiled in his heart, who else can understand those nobles in the capital better than her.
"Thank you, brother-in-law, for the reminder. Xie Changyu wanted to get rid of the bored couple as soon as possible.
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.
Wen Jingliang choked in his throat, and was cut off by Xie Changyu, for some reason, when he heard Xie Changyu's words, at that moment, he felt more uncomfortable than inserting a knife.
"Sister, the way to the capital is far away, you must be careful on this road. ”
Xie Ling'er had a smile in her eyes, Xie Changyu, do you think I will give up? You made me a joke in Wuzhou, and I will pay for it with your life.
"If you say that you will change your face, Xie Ling'er, you are singing!" Xie Changyu snorted, turned his head and was about to get on the horse: "Don't worry about my business, go back to the Wen family and slowly become your young grandmother." ”
On the side, Chen Jun saw Xie Ling'er's face as if he had eaten, and he held back a smile.
Xie Changyu saw the purple hem of his clothes in a daze, and paused to glance at Chen Jun's side.
Inexplicably, I felt that this person was familiar.
Blindfolded his head and thought, isn't this Wen Jingliang's good brother Chen Jun! I used to always follow Wen Jingliang and taunt Xie Changyu.
But no substantial damage was done.
"Little waste, next month, this son will go to school in the capital Guozijian, and then I will come to your Xie Mansion to sit and sit when I am free, don't be in the capital with the momentum of walking sideways in Wuzhou~"
Chen Jun laughed, his front teeth were white, and he was like a merry man.
Xie Changyu rolled his eyes before leaving.
"It seems that the heads of the descendants of several indigenous families in Wuzhou are not very normal!"
It is worth pondering that the families in the Jiangnan area are interested in letting their descendants enter the court as officials, and if they want to let them go a few decades ago, these pretentious indigenous families are unwilling.
In a few years' time, what will become of the world in this world?
......
The road was bumpy, and before I knew it, it was dark.
"Big brothers, do we still have to hurry at night?" the magpie opened the curtain and asked the guards sent by the main family.
"Girl, there's a town ahead of us, let's just get there and stay there. ”
"Oh, thank you, big brother guard. ”
The magpie grew up in Wuzhou, and the first time he went out was a twenty-day trip from the south to the north, and his head was floating all the way.
"Miss, there is a town in front, your face is not very good, when you get to the inn, the slave will ask the doctor to come and take a look for the eldest lady. ”
The magpie thought to herself that she hadn't seen the eldest lady get motion sickness before, why did she think that the young lady had changed a lot recently, and she couldn't say the specifics.
"No, this carriage is too narrow and not breathable, but when the curtain is opened, the wind is too strong, and it really blows people's headaches. When we arrive in the rich city tomorrow, we will buy a carriage at our own expense. ”
Xie Changyu's face turned pale, and his words fell, he closed his eyes tightly and leaned on the mahogany beam.
When we arrived in the town, the sky was thundering, and the rain was coming, and even the air dropped a few degrees.
"Click!"
"Miss, the wheels are stuck on the rotten road. ”
Xie Changyu waved his hand: "It's okay, I'll just come down and take a walk." ”
As soon as she landed, the sullenness in her heart dissipated a lot, and the magpie followed closely behind Xie Changyu, her body trembling.
"Miss, what kind of town is this, why is there no one. ”
"Silly girl!" Xie Changyu said and flicked the magpie's forehead: "Do you think that all places are Wuzhou? There is no night market in the town, and there are no guards guarding the city, under normal circumstances, there will be no pedestrians on the street when the child is not over." ”
"It's just that this place looks gloomy, eldest lady, slaves and maids have been afraid of ghosts since childhood. ”
"I'm here, I'm not afraid. ”
What is so terrible about ghosts? What is more terrible than ghosts is the human heart.
A few people were lucky, looking for the ancient street all the way to find an inn.
"Miss, the lights are still on. Magpie excitedly.
"Knock knock!"
"Knock knock!"
The guard who took the lead in knocking on the door wondered: "The lights are bright inside, why is no one opening the door?"
"Wait. ”
Xie Changyu's words fell for a while, and a short figure appeared on the clear yellow paper window, and an old voice came from the paper window: "Who?"
The guards are a little angry, and if they come to knock on the door at night, what can they do if they don't stay in the store!
"Stay!"
"Who?"
"Stay!"
"Who?"
"Shopkeeper, we're here to stay at the hotel,"
"Who?"
“......”
Xie Changyu raised his eyes: "Old woman, we are guests of the hotel, the heavy rain is coming, you can open the door and let us in." ”
"Instigation~"
The old wooden door creaked heavily.
A few guards were dumbfounded, just like that?
Magpie: Worthy of the eldest lady!
The door only opened a slit, and a crumpled face peeked out of the narrow gap. The old woman held a candlestick in her hand: "Come in!"
The old lady was very anxious and cautious, and when Xie Changyu and the others entered the inn, she hurriedly closed the door, and then put on a long piece of wood, and then stuffed the broken wood chips into the gap in the gatehouse.
Xie Changyu looked around at the environment of the inn and found that this inn was a little darker except for the dim lighting, and the horizontal layout was no different from that of an ordinary inn.
"You young men, at night, still wander around the town, if you meet the ghosts of the Ghost Army, it will be over. ”
"The Shadow Army?"
One of the guards smiled and said, "Old woman, how can the Ghost Ming Army appear here?"
The old lady opened a pair of cloudy eyes and said, "A few of you are from other places, and you don't know what happened in our Fenglai Town." ”
Xie Changyu's eyes were complicated, the army she destroyed three years ago was talked about by a strange old woman, and it was really a little terrifying.
"Old woman, we are from Wuzhou, passing through this town, can you tell me about this...... Is it about Fenglai Town?" Xie Changyu asked.
"In our town, at night, the ghosts of the Phantom Army will come out to arrest people, and everyone who encounters the Phantom Army will die on the streets!"
"You guys, rest in the store for the night, hurry up tomorrow, if you are met by the Phantom Army, how can you survive?"
