Chapter 41: The General's Mansion in the Alley

Hours passed.

The castle that looks like a black beast is close at hand.

The black, rugged walls of steel stood on the vast plains, and a meandering river ran through the vast city.

The boy sat on horseback and stared at the magnificent black city from afar. He had imagined the grandeur of Cangyun City, and it wasn't until he saw it with his own eyes that he knew that a city could be so magnificent.

He couldn't help but sigh.

"It's a huge city. ”

Then, he muttered in a low voice, "Chang'an City is nothing more than that!"

"Haha!"

The old man burst out laughing.

"Little guy, when you arrive in Chang'an City, you will know what the real number one city in the world is!"

Wei Shisan suddenly came to his senses, and it turned out that the old man was laughing at him. His delicate face flushed, and his gaze swept back and forth on the ground, not knowing what to say back and forth to the old man.

"Chang'an, I'll go!"

After a while, Wei 13 said this.

The old man glanced at the young man, turned his head in silence, and galloped towards Cangyun City.

Wei 13 followed the old man closely, and the two of them kicked up a puff of dust. Under the gaze of many pedestrians, the old man took out a waist card and signaled the general guarding the city to take a look, and then immediately withdrew the waist card and broke into Cangyun City with Wei Shisan.

Before the general defending the city could react, he saw the two people break into Cangyun City, and just wanted to wave his hand to signal the soldiers to stop the two people, his arm froze in the air, and he recalled the words on the waist card just now - Yan.

He suddenly felt that the old man on horseback just now was familiar, and finally he figured out who the old man was, and he looked in the direction where the old man and the boy had disappeared.

"It seems that Great Wei is not going to be peaceful recently!" The general defending the city slowly retracted his gaze and sighed in a low voice.

"Head, who was that person just now?" the soldier on the side leaned over and asked in a low voice.

The general defending the city did not speak, and waved his hand to signal the soldiers to continue to defend this ancient city that had endured hundreds of years of wind and rain in their positions.

......

After entering the city, Wei 13 was no longer like the country boy who had never seen the world. Although he was still shocked by the prosperity of Cangyun City, he kept a calm expression and followed closely behind the old man.

The old man took his horse to the post station in Cangyun City, and walked on foot through the wide streets. At this time, this Great Wei God General Yan Shu was like an ordinary old man. In the eyes of others, Wei 13 should be the grandson of the old man.

Yan Shu seemed to be very familiar with Cangyun City, and took Wei Shisan around the streets and alleys. Wei 13 once thought that the old man was wandering around.

Until Wei Shisan's legs became numb, he propped his arms on his legs and found that the old man next to him had stopped.

He looked up in confusion and found them in an open alley. The alleys are silent, like a wasteland away from the crowds.

His gaze fell on a mansion at the end of the alley, and there was no plaque on the door of the mansion. It looks ordinary, and even the red door has been peeled off in many places, and there is a thin layer of moss growing on the steps in front of the mansion. There were no imaginary guards in front of the house, and there were no red lanterns hanging to symbolize prosperity.

It looks like an old mansion that has fallen into disrepair and has been uninhabited for a long time.

"Could this be the General's Mansion?" he was a little incredulous, and there was no trace of consternation in his voice.

In his imagination, the general's mansion must be extremely luxurious, and even the steps in front of the mansion will be made of precious materials. This world-famous figure must be in an endless stream of mansions, and it does seem that there are few people now.

"The general likes to be quiet and doesn't like to be disturbed, even Emperor Wei rarely sends people to find the general, and ordinary people have a rare opportunity to enter this mansion. The old man seemed to see through the doubts in Wei Shisan's heart, and explained.

"Oh. ”

The old Great Wei God lowered his head and carefully adjusted his clothes. After half a pillar of incense, he nodded in satisfaction, and then walked towards the mansion at the end of the alley.

Wei 13 did the same and straightened his clothes. Raising his head, the old man had already walked far away, and he hurriedly trotted to catch up.

Bang Bang!

The old man shook the knocker on the door, making two slight noises.

Crunch!

A gap broke out in the closed door, and an old face full of ravines appeared in Wei Shisan's eyes, and Wei Shisan was startled by his faint gaze.

"Huang Lao!"

Yan Shu bowed slightly towards the old man in the crack in the door.

"Hello Grandpa Huang!"

Wei 13 followed behind Yan Shu, bending over and grinning. The Great Wei God who can let the old senior god in front of him call Huang Lao, his identity and status can be imagined, and it is always right to be respectful. Even if you don't talk about this identity, just the old man's age should be called grandpa.

"Hmm. The old man's ravine-lined face was unwavering, as if he was used to seeing things in the world, and just nodded at them.

Thundered!

The door slowly opened with a loud sound.

After the old man with a hunched body welcomed the two of them into the mansion, he closed the door tightly again. Then he took an old man and a young man and walked towards the courtyard.

The courtyard is very ordinary, with some ordinary flowers and plants. Wei Shisan felt that even these ordinary flowers and plants might have been taken care of by the old man who led the way. For there was not a single servant in the whole courtyard except the old man.

Wei Shisan couldn't help but look at the old man a few more times.

The courtyard is very small compared to the Yan Mansion, and even compared to the City Lord's Mansion of Fuhua City, it is more than a star and a half, and it is similar to the courtyard of an ordinary family.

There are only five or six houses in the courtyard. The stars held the largest room in the middle like a moon, and Wei Shisan felt a little strange at a glance, but he couldn't tell what was strange.

Wei Shisan's heart was slightly furious, as if there were several pairs of eyes staring at him behind him, he couldn't help but turn his head to look around, there was only the footsteps of the three of them in the quiet courtyard, and there were no other figures.

"General!"

Huang Lao took Wei 13 and the two people to stop outside the largest room in the middle and shouted respectfully. His stiff back was straight at the moment, which made Wei Shisan slightly surprised that this old man seemed to be a different person at this moment.

A moment later, a tepid voice came from the room, as if the owner of the voice had already expected Wei Shisan and them to come.

"Come in. ”

This voice sounded very ordinary, and there was nothing out of the ordinary, but Wei 13 knew that the owner of this voice was the eighteenth general, who was known to everyone in the world.

Huang Lao stood aside, got out of the way, and motioned for Wei Shisan and them to enter the house.

Yan Shu took Wei 13 and stepped into the door.
