Chapter 244: Longmen Town is suspicious
After listening to Xiao Yangzi's description, Liu Shi nodded in surprise.
"Yes, our family really didn't misunderstand him, with such a resolute means to convince people's hearts, courage and wisdom are indispensable!"
Hearing that Chen Xiangbei refused to accept the gift, Liu Shi's eyes shone even more.
"This little Chen Zi is really clever, he knows which money can be greedy and what money can't be wanted...
is a eunuch who is greedy, but if he is hungry, he will only take his own life.
Therefore, how to be greedy, whether to be greedy, and how much to be greedy are issues that need to be considered by a qualified eunuch.
Especially in a place like Dongchang, a slight wrong step can be a catastrophe.
On the other hand, after Chen Xiangbei received the token to leave the palace, he chose a big black horse in the Dongchang stable and went out of the Shenwu Gate all the way.
After leaving the palace, he hurried his horse and headed towards the outskirts of the northern part of the capital.
It took about an hour to gallop all the way, and he arrived at his destination.
Compared with the bustling and noisy Jingshi area, the suburbs are sparsely populated and the streets are dilapidated and depressed, but the overall plan is still neat and orderly.
Chen Xiangbei grabbed the reins, and Xiao Yangzi's file information came to his mind.
Soon he came to a small suburban town, and an old torii archway appeared in front of him.
There are three large mottled and faded characters on it.
Longmen Town.
"Phew!"
Chen Xiang rode in, but as soon as he stepped through the archway, he noticed that something was wrong.
This Longmen town is really surprisingly deserted.
It was clear that it was broad daylight, but both the long streets and alleys were empty, and the shops on both sides were closed.
Even the signboard is crumbling, like an uninhabited ghost town.
Chen Xiangbei's heart sank slightly, and he inexplicably felt a chill from the bottom of his heart.
After a slight adjustment, Chen Xiangbei continued to go deeper into the town, his heart was tense at every thought, and his hand quietly touched the dragon slayer on his waist.
Sure enough.
At the same time as he rode his horse deeper, a group of burly and strong men suddenly emerged from an alley.
Everybody has a guy in their hand.
There were maces, there were long knives, and there were leather whips, and their faces were full of alertness, all on the look, and they were all on guard against the uninvited guest who suddenly broke into the town.
"Who's coming? The town is not open to outsiders, so please return along the road! ”
This line of heavily armed men shouted loudly to Chen Xiangbei from a long distance, and his tone was very tough, and there seemed to be no room for maneuver.
Chen Xiangbei's hand tightened, retracted the reins, and the big black horse paced in place a few times.
"Everyone, I'm here to look for someone, please let me go!"
"Looking for whom?"
A strong man led by him walked out of the crowd, and he dragged a big knife in front of Chen Xiangbei, acting a little nervous.
The color is extraordinary, plus the dragon slaying on Chen Xiangbei's waist.
In their eyes, this uninvited guest was anything but ordinary.
"I'm looking for the Pan family in Longmen Town, she has a son who is looking for a job in the palace, his name is Yang Yongxin!"
Chen Xiangbei directly expressed his intention, and at the same time gently pressed the handle of the dragon slayer with his right hand, observing the strong man's reaction.
The strong man pondered for a moment, frowned and glanced back at the people behind him: "Do you know where the person this master is looking for?" ”
Everyone shook their heads.
At the same time, a young man in the crowd suddenly spoke: "I seem to have a little impression, but she has long since moved out of the town, and now she is settling down by the Qinghe River ten miles to the south!" ”
"Thank you!"
Chen Xiangbei replied suspiciously, and then glanced at the young man who was speaking, his expression did not change much, not like he was talking about it.
"Phew!"
Chen kicked his legs to the north, and left the town on his horse, following the direction pointed by the young man.
It wasn't until one person and one horse left the archway that the people blocking the long street breathed a sigh of relief.
Although they were not cultivators, they could clearly feel the fluctuations in the aura on Chen Xiangbei's body.
If it weren't for the young man just now who opened his mouth to show the way, I am afraid that they alone would not have been able to stop this uninvited guest.
Thinking of this, the strong man at the head looked back at the young man who was pointing the way.
"Do you really know the whereabouts of the Pan family? If that guy runs away empty, he'll be in trouble to come back to us and settle accounts! ”
The young man pondered for a moment and said, "What I just said is the truth, but... ”
"Just what?"
"Nothing... Anyway, the guy was looking for someone right there. ”
The young man hesitated, prevaricated, and then fell silent.
I hope this uninvited guest will leave quickly, if he can't stand it, she won't be able to live.
After Chen Xiangbei left Longmen Town, the sense of foreboding in his body suddenly thinned a lot.
It was like a dark cloud and haze shrouded in the sky, and suddenly dispersed.
"Definitely quirky!"
Chen Xiangbei looked back at the town with a blurred outline, his mind was moving, and his eyes were exquisite.
"Huh? How so? ”
Chen Xiangbei's heart trembled violently, and at the moment of driving Linglong's True Eye, he saw that the entire Longmen Town was enveloped in a turbid gas.
It was like a large pool of billowing black smoke, deep and weird, exuding an aura of resentment and resentment.
At a fixed glance, above the town, there was an extremely ugly toad, more than ten zhang higher, like a hilly mountain crushing down.
In all directions of this toad, there are countless splendid gold edges, like a splendid ribbon fluttering in the wind, and it seems to be a dancing hand spreading.
It just so happened that one of them was connected to Longmen Town.
Huhuhuhu-
As if sensing that someone was secretly observing, the toad's eyelids trembled slightly, as if it meant to open its eyes.
The turbid air that enveloped the town was also billowing and churning at the same time, and the place where Chen Xiangbei was was stirring up a gloomy wind.
Chen Xiangbei was shocked, and hurriedly put away Linglong's true eyes and rode away.
In this Longmen Town, why did such monsters suddenly appear?
Thinking of the heavily armed guy blocking the road again, Chen Xiangbei seemed to have a vein in his heart.
However, this time out of the palace, his purpose was to investigate Xiao Yangzi's background, and other things had nothing to do with him.
Besides, he didn't know the origin of this toad at all, and if he went to touch the bottom like a stunned green, he was afraid of causing big trouble.
Horse's hooves tossed all the way, and Chen Xiangbei finally came to the place that the young man was pointing to.
A clear but bottomless river comes into view, and on the banks are rows of dilapidated thatched huts.
No one could believe that such a dilapidated scene would appear on the outskirts of the capital.
In this Great Zhou Dynasty, not only the disparity between the rich and the poor, but also the withering of people's livelihood was extremely serious.
Chen led the horse north, passed through the huts, and after questioning several local residents, finally got information about Pan and her address.
A short walk down the shore, under an ancient banyan tree is the home of the Pan family.
