Chapter 16: The Shadow Army

"Oh, old woman, why are you talking so much!"

A gray-haired old man walked over with a sneaky step, and said with kind eyebrows: "A few guest officers, this night is dark, and the old man will arrange a guest room for you and rest first." ”

The guard who took the lead was puzzled: "Eh, shopkeeper, what happened to the ghost of the Ghost Ming Army that this old woman said just now?"

I don't know what the reason is, as soon as this person's words fell, the lamp in the old woman's hand suddenly went out, and a yin wind blew in through the leaky paper window, seeping people panicked.

"Big ...... Big...... Miss" magpie was frightened, and felt more and more strange about this town: "Why don't the slaves and maids carry the carriage out, and we continue on our way?"

Bring it out?

Xie Changyu shook his head and smiled lightly: "I have the strength to lift the carriage out of the mud pit, why don't I have the strength to kill ghosts? Besides, where are there ghosts in this world? If there are, Miss Ben just lives here, but she wants to see this ghost army...... The ghosts are amazing!"

"Excuse me~" The old man waved his hand and said: "Don't listen to my old woman's nonsense, she, after hearing the news that the kid in the family died on the battlefield three years ago, her head is not very normal, she is suspicious all day long, where are there any ghosts, Fenglai Town has always been clean and peaceful......"

"Everyone, please come with the old man, it just so happens that we have three more rooms here. ”

Is this really the case? Xie Changyu glanced at the old woman whose teeth were chattering, and felt a little strange.

The guards relaxed when they heard this.

"Alas!

"That's it, I said that the Youming Army has been wiped out for three years, and if there are ghosts, you would have gone to the capital to settle accounts with the county lord in front of you, and there is a fart to wander around Fenglai Town, where birds don't!"

"Also, the county lord did too much evil back then, although the Youming Army was under the jurisdiction of the king of Chengxi, but how many victories did he win for my Great Yan Dynasty in the frontier, this has no merit and hard work~ If you say that you will be buried alive, you will be buried alive!"

"So, the county lord also deserves it, this Xie Mansion can't tolerate the county lord, the royal family can't tolerate the county lord, the ministers can't tolerate the county lord, even God can't see it, and a thunderbolt chopped the county lord to death. ”

"Shhhhh

"Uncle," Xie Changyu turned his head silently, and the guards who were discussing the county lord in front of the emperor were startled and stopped talking.

She caught a glimpse of the expressions of several guards, the corners of her mouth curved slightly, and then asked, "Uncle, I'm afraid that there are only three rooms left." You see, there are seven or eight of us here, and we have five rooms. ”

"This ......" The old man looked down at the second floor, and said in a low voice: "Don't tell the girl, a few days ago, a team of military masters came to our town, and the official who took the lead looked very big, and he had been staying for a few days. The rooms above were occupied by the military masters. ”

"We have an inn here in Fenglai Town, a few generals will go down, and there are still three rooms left in the corners on both sides of the second floor. ”

Xie Changyu nodded: "Okay, I'll live with the magpie." ”

A few people went upstairs, the wooden ladder was in disrepair, and the people who stepped on it squeaked and squeaked, and there was a sense of shaking.

A few guards were in the north corner, and Xie Changyu and Magpie chose the corner room on the south side.

The old man carried a kerosene lamp and led the way for Xie Changyu.

"Two girls, the second room in the south corner is the official, the old man seems to be plain and beautiful, the temperament is outstanding, although he did not show up, but he must not be a young person, the two girls and the official are neighbors, you can rest assured. ”

Xie Changyu bowed his head: "Thank you." ”

Dressed in white and with a brilliant temperament, Xie Changyu was the first to think of his rival in his previous life!

She hates wearing white clothes the most! Women like Cui Zhiyue are all the best white lotus! Men are just like that person, they are all hypocrites!

......

On the third watch, Xie Changyu woke up from his dream.

She put on her coat and got up and looked out the window...... See pouring rain, lightning and thunder.

The kerosene in the room burned out and it was dark in all directions, and she leaned against the window, sounding the rain of four months ago...... It was heavier than this rain, and the thunder and lightning were more intense.

After standing for about three incense sticks, a fine cold sweat broke out on Xie Changyu's forehead. She suddenly discovered that since she was reborn, whenever there was thunder and rain, she would dream of her past life.

I didn't dare to close my eyes all night.

Suddenly, a melodious flute sounded in the night......

Ethereal nothingness, like a lullaby in a storm, she closed her eyes and dreamed back to the flowery Shengjing.

"Hey, little scholar, can't you hear the lord of this county calling you?"

"County Lord, what do you command?"

"The lord of this county asks you, did you plant the locust tree in the garden?"

"Yes. The county lord, you have been in poor health recently, and the slave heard that the locust tree town house means auspicious, so he planted one in the house. ”

"Who is rare? Don't be so pretended! Someone came and cut down the locust tree in the garden, and the lord of this county looked at it with annoyance. ”

"Since the lord of the county decided that the slave was unkind, he cut down the locust tree. ”

"County Lord, the scholar is gone, he is so arrogant, you don't ......"

"Do you want to do a lot of things?" "Wait, the locust tree is there for now...... It's not too late to cut it when the county lord doesn't want this scholar. ”

......

Early the next morning, Xie Changyu was woken up by a sound outside the door.

The magpie carried the toiletry into the door, and when he got closer, he saw Xie Changyu sitting on the bed, his eyes were blue, and he obviously hadn't slept well all night.

"Miss, is it the slave who is not honest in sleeping and disturbs you?"

Xie Changyu waved his hand: "No, what are you doing outside? Why is it so noisy." ”

"Oh~ Just now, the slave maid fetched water, and I saw a lot of military masters, all of them standing tall and tall, and they were carrying a knife in their hands, and it seemed that they were going out to run errands. ”

"This kind of scene, the slave maid has never seen in Wuzhou...... Those military masters are not ordinary troops at first glance, and they are much more serious than those soldiers in Wuzhou...... There are also a few military masters who are handsome!"

"Miss, the slave maid water is ready, let's wash it for you first, the guards from Xie Fu are already urging it. ”

Xie Changyu closed his eyes and hummed softly.

Her sixth sense has always been accurate.

This Fenglai Town reveals a crooked atmosphere inside and out, one will be the ghost of the Ghost Ming Army, and the other will be an unknown army.

Since you have come, wouldn't it be a waste not to probe the contents of the search?

The lobby of the inn.

A black-clad guard with a curtain on his head was speaking to the plain-clothed officials standing on the side.

"Master, the hour has come, why don't you set off yet? ”

"Xuanyi, tell me to go down, repair today, and set off tomorrow. ”

"This ...... Master, the army has been repairing for three days, and it rained heavily last night, lest the mountain road be hit by a mudslide, if it is a few days late, will the road to Fengshan be blocked?"

"No, it won't. Commanded to go down. ”

"Yes. ”

Xuanyi thought that the master was like a god, and there must be a reason for him to do so.
