Chapter 226: Serendipity
The soldier known as Brother Zhang was Zhang Junjie, the son of the general judgment who was broken by Du Yu in the 'Mingyue Tower' that day.
Originally, he was determined to gain fame, but because of this change, he changed his will, and secretly tore up the list and joined the army despite the opposition of his family. If you want to earn a reputation with your own ability, you will not only be able to glorify your ancestors at that time, but you may also be able to get a different look from Du Yu. It's just that since he joined the army, every day has been boring training, and he has long suffocated this son. Today, I finally have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and naturally I want to show it.
Zhang Junjie coughed lightly and said, "Then you follow me! Let's go in and search together!" Seeing that everyone nodded and followed, he cautiously pushed open the door that was also stained with filth.
With a screeching sound, the door was slowly pushed open to reveal the true face inside.
Although it was not yet completely dark, it was no longer clear from inside. There are crooked buildings everywhere, looking like hideous beasts trying to choose people to devour, and the stench that comes from the nose makes everyone cover their noses involuntarily.
Zhang Junjie frowned, resisted the desire to turn around and run away, pulled out his waist knife and put it across his chest, gritted his teeth and stepped in. When the rest of the people saw that he had gone in, they had no choice but to follow him.
The inside of the door was a little darker than the outside of the door, and there was still a glimmer of light in the distance outside the door, but the light inside the door was all blocked by a big tree, and the light could not penetrate at all. It's like the legendary hell of Abi, so dark that there is no light in sight.
Someone took out the fire fold and blew it gently, and a small flame rose with it, illuminating the square inch in front of him.
"Ahh
The man with the fire fold suddenly let out a scream, startling everyone.
One person said dissatisfiedly: "Brother Zhu, if you are also the son of a head catcher, you can't be calm." Look at Brother Zhang. ”
The person known as Brother Zhu looked at everyone's dissatisfied eyes and stammered, "Death, dead corpse!"
When the others heard that it was a dead body, they couldn't help but take a few steps back.
On the other hand, the other snorted disapprovingly, and said, "What is there to be afraid of the corpse, is it possible that it will jump up and bite you? After speaking, he walked to Brother Zhu's side and looked at the place where the other party was pointing.
"Bell!"
The waist knife in the hand of the man squatting in front of the corpse fell to the ground, and I saw that his face was full of horror, his hands were tightly covered around his neck, and his eyes were staring at somewhere in the darkness as if he wanted to say something, but unfortunately he fell to the ground without saying a word, and there was no sound.
Several soldiers who had only joined the army for a short time were stunned, looking at their companions who were still alive a moment ago, they turned into a stiff corpse in a blink of an eye, which was unacceptable to anyone, not to mention that these few sons and brothers who were originally pampered in Liangzhou City. I panicked for a while, and I didn't know what to do.
At this moment, a terrible cat cry suddenly sounded above the heads of several people.
Several people shivered in unison, Zhang Junjie woke up, suddenly pushed the person in front of him, and shouted: "Run!" I don't know if it was because of fear or because his voice was too high, his voice had changed his tone, his voice was shrill and strange, but no one laughed at him at the moment, and he rushed to run out of the door.
The soldier who was the first to snatch out of the door suddenly flew out of the air, landing just on top of a pile of filth, and his face was covered with yellow and white things. The rest were no better, either tripped over the same or tripped by their fallen companions. For a while, the side of the small gate fell to the ground. Fortunately, several people had a very strong desire to survive, and they didn't care about the filth on their bodies, so they hurriedly got up and ran out desperately, this time it was very smooth, and they soon ran out of the dark alley.
Only the fire fold remained, still shining in the darkness.
After a while, a door opened gently, and a small body carefully poked its head out from behind the door, and saw that it was really empty, so it waved behind him, and then ran out of the door and quickly ran to the entrance of the alley, carefully probing his brain.
A tall figure then flashed out of the gate, and it was the same figure that had fled into the dark alley before.
The little beggar led him through the alley and turned left and right, and after a while he stopped, pointed to the eaves that were not far away, and said, "That is the back door of the palace." Are you sure you want to go in?"
The tall figure gratefully arched his hand and said, "Thank you little brother for rescuing me and taking the risk to lead the way for me, Jiang Tianxiao is grateful." ”
The little beggar was stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "You are Jiang Tianxiao?"
Jiang Tianxiao's heart froze, his hand involuntarily pressed on the hilt of the sword, but he said calmly: "Little brother, don't you know me?"
The little beggar sniffed and said, "I don't know! It's just that a few days ago, there were notices everywhere in the city to arrest you, and I listened to those people when I wanted to eat." ”
"I see. Jiang Tianxiao breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably, reached out and took out a silver ingot from his arms and said, "Liangzhou is very dangerous now, so don't stay here." Take this one and buy some clothes and dry food, and then leave with your younger siblings. ”
The little beggar did not take the silver, but looked at him with a serious face and said, "I didn't help you for this ingot of silver." If you look down on me so much, then we friends don't do it. After saying that, he turned around and left.
Jiang Tianxiao suddenly looked helpless, he didn't know why, although the child in front of him was only a teenager, he always gave him a strange feeling of seeing through the world, so he had to speak: "Little brother regards money as dung Jiang admires! It's my mistake, how about I make amends to you here?"
The little beggar turned around in surprise, walked back quickly, and said, "This is like words!"
Jiang Tianxiao was stunned when he saw this, and said hesitantly: "This is?"
"Aren't you going to give me the silver?" said the little beggar with a sly smile, his dirty little hand shaking.
Jiang Tianxiao took out the silver and put it in the palm of his hand, and said strangely: "Little brother is really not an ordinary person. ”
The little beggar smiled, weighed the silver ingot in his hand, and said, "You all regard me as a friend, so the statement is naturally different." A gift from a friend, I can naturally accept it calmly. But I will not take your money for nothing, but I have something to give you. After speaking, he took out something from his arms and handed it over, "This is what I picked up on the road that day, I think Brother Jiang should recognize it." ”
"I recognize?" Jiang Tianxiao took it suspiciously, leaned in front of him to take a closer look, looked up again, and his face was already ecstatic, and said hurriedly: "Where is the owner of this thing now?
The little beggar sighed, shook his head, and said, "I don't know where that sister is now." That day, I went to the mountains to collect medicine, and I happened to see that sister fighting with someone. Later, my sister was outnumbered and taken away by those people, and I only picked it up in the same place. I once heard her call herself Jiang Chuqing, and said that Jiang Tianxiao was her eldest brother. ”
Jiang Tianxiao clenched the jade pendant in his hand tightly, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes, and said, "I wonder if the little brother has ever seen who the other party is?"
The little beggar thought for a moment and said, "Because I was worried about being discovered by them, I was far away. I vaguely heard my sister calling 'Brother Han', and I don't know about the rest. ”
"It must be Han Qian!" Jiang Tianxiao gritted his teeth and said, "When I finish dealing with this matter, I will definitely go to the Iron Sword Gate to ask for advice." ”
"Brother Jiang!"
Jiang Tianxiao suddenly came back to his senses and said, "What's wrong?"
The little beggar pointed ahead.
Jiang Tianxiao only glanced at it, then picked up the little beggar and quickly flashed behind a big tree.
It turned out that the back door of the palace at this time suddenly opened, and several sneaky figures walked out from inside, one of whom was still carrying a large cloth bag, and he didn't know what it contained.
The little beggar leaned into Jiang Tianxiao's ear and whispered: "These are all subordinates of the palace, and the one on the far left often steals things from the palace to sell, and goes to the gambling house to gamble for money when they exchange money." The one next to him was Liu Laoer, who was in charge of buying vegetables, and often deducted the money from the vegetable vendors, and then put the money into his own pocket. The one that carries the bag...... Hmmm!"
Jiang Tianxiao suddenly covered his mouth, it turned out that there was another person coming out of the back door at this time, it was the unfathomable Fan steward of martial arts, Jiang Tianxiao was still on an errand in the mansion, he fought with him, so he recognized it.
It's just that at this moment, Steward Fan's face was pale, and he seemed to think that the person in front of him was walking slowly, and reprimanded something in a low voice.
The men seemed to be terrified of him, and immediately nodded in agreement, and then they escorted the man with the cloth bag in the middle and walked away quickly.
Steward Fan looked around vigilantly, and when he saw that no one was nearby, he turned around and entered the door.
Jiang Tianxiao whispered: "Let's go up and see, do you know if there is any other way?"
The little beggar also wanted to see what those people were doing, so he nodded immediately and took Jiang Tianxiao into the alley next to him.
It didn't take long for the two to catch up with the first few people.
The little beggar looked at the place they had entered, and his expression was a little strange.
Jiang Tianxiao noticed his abnormality and asked, "What's wrong?"
The little beggar pointed to a certain place and muttered, "There is no one here for a long time, what are they doing here?"
Jiang Tianxiao found that next to this exquisite building, there was a gold-lettered signboard with the words 'Forget Worries Building'. Suddenly, the little beggar had run out, and he hurriedly stepped up to follow, and as soon as Fang entered the door, he was pulled in by a thin arm.
"They're upstairs!" said the little beggar in a low voice, "I'll go up and see if anything is wrong, and then come up and save me." ”
Jiang Tianxiao grabbed him and said, "You wait for me here, I'll go up and have a look." ”
The little beggar tilted his head and thought for a while, "It's okay, if there's anything wrong, you can call me." ”
Jiang Tianxiao nodded, jumped to the second floor on tiptoe, grabbed the railing and borrowed his strength, and easily climbed to the third floor. Then he looked for the only room with a light. When he got closer, he lifted his breath again, put his toes on the pillars, and leaned down, looking through the crack in the door.
There are several people in the room at this moment, and in the center is a woman with a light veil, whose graceful figure should be a beauty, and sitting under her is a young man with a full face, who is bowing his head and playing with a small golden snake in his hand. And the subordinates of the palace before were bowing down and standing not far from the two.
