Chapter 393: The Old Man (4) Thanks to the book friend for the reward of "Have you seen me in a maid costume"!
On this rainy night, the Night Guard Office was busy.
A bronze coffin salvaged from the Xuan River was pulled by a carriage and escorted here by the night guard and placed in the main hall.
Fei Qingquan, the prison star envoy who had already slept, hurriedly got up after hearing the news and went to the main hall to check.
The main hall is empty and solemn, and the rows of oil lamps on the wooden shelves burn faintly.
A rusty bronze coffin was placed in the main hall, exuding a mysterious and unknown luster in the firelight.
All the outsiders had been cleared out of the main hall, and only Fei Qingquan, the star watcher, was in it.
The Star Warden hunched over an oil lamp in one hand and an ancient scroll in the other.
Sometimes he carefully observed the patterned runes on the bronze coffin, and sometimes he looked intently at the ancient scrolls.
After a long time, he straightened up and let out a long sigh:
"Why did you come to Yangcheng...... Why is it happening at this time...... Hey, are the peaceful days in Yangcheng finally coming to an end?"
Suddenly, the bronze coffin suddenly trembled, and the sound it made in this quiet hall was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day.
"Smack!"
The scroll in his hand fell to the ground, and he shuddered, took a few steps back, and stared nervously at the bronze coffin.
The fire on the wick of the oil lamp crackled, and the Star Supervisor did not dare to move, and a layer of sweat oozed from his forehead.
After a while, the bronze coffin was still silent, and there was no movement.
"I'm about to wake up...... When will the people up there arrive? Hurry up and get this thing away......! Disaster is coming!"
A burst of footsteps gradually came.
The Guardian came back to his senses, hurriedly picked up the scrolls on the ground, and the whole person returned to the majestic appearance of the day.
The Comer is a Night Watchman:
"My lord, there is news in Taiping Town that has been delivered by flying pigeons. ”
The Star Warden nodded, and he took the note and read it quickly.
As expected, the entire Taiping Town has been destroyed, and only more than 100 people have been rescued by Jiang Yuan.
He opened his mouth and commanded:
"Let Zhou Cunjian announce the news tomorrow, and send someone to quickly open the road to the Acropolis. ”
"Yes, my lord......," said the Night Watchman, "the Lord and the Lord Captain have arrived, and they are waiting for you in the hall with the Lord Captain. ”
The Star Warden waved at the Night Watchman:
"I see. ”
The Night Watch respectfully stepped back and left.
In the empty hall, only the Star Supervisor and the bronze coffin remained.
His expression resurfaced with tiredness:
"This matter must be reported in the morning, whether it is a change in the sacrificial ground...... Bronze coffin...... It's still the guy named Jiang Yuan...... By the way, Jiang Yuan asked me to pay attention to the foreign objects in the Xuan River, it can't be this ......"
Thinking of this, Fei Qingquan was shocked:
"Who is that Jiang Yuan? A child from Taiping Town, he studied hard and suddenly became stronger...... Who would believe it?! In this eventful season, he suddenly came to Yangcheng, is it a blessing or a curse?"
......................................................................................................................................................................................
After Jiang Yuan left the valley, he stayed in Pengcheng for a while.
Revisiting the old place, full of emotion. It's a pity that Pengcheng is still Pengcheng, but things are not people.
Jiang Yuan then left Pengcheng and returned to the Acropolis.
In the Acropolis, Jiang Yuan refound Yu Ling:
"Is it decided?"
At Yu Ling's house, her father Yu Sheng stood aside, he had already told her about Yu Ling's origin, and his identity had finally changed from "biological father" to "adoptive father".
At this time, Yu Sheng also vaguely knew that his daughter might be about to leave him, which made him inevitably sigh and cry.
Yu Ling boldly looked at Jiang Yuan and pleaded:
"Please help me!"
Jiang Yuan smiled:
"Willing to believe me?"
Yu Ling hesitated for a moment and said:
"I don't know why Childe helped me for no reason, but I also know that if Childe is so powerful that if he wants to harm me, then I can't resist. ”
Jiang Yuan opened his mouth and said:
"I won't hurt you, and I'll help you become stronger. Let's start with the Snake Clan, then see what you're capable of, I'll teach you a few more things, and then I'll take you to a mine......"
Speaking of this, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but pause.
Because of Yu Ling's friendship, she didn't plan to snatch the artifact that belonged to her, but hoped that she could rely on the artifact to be able to contact the curse, be recognized by the Naruto clan, and live a better life.
Now that his strength is already very strong, he is no longer so eager for artifacts.
I don't know if I have a delusion, but the process of history seems to be changing because of my own intervention, but the result is getting closer and closer to the original direction, and it seems that it is going to get back on track.
Jiang Yuan shook his head, he will always change, and he will never do useless work.
So he began to try to awaken the demonic power in Yu Ling's body, and then he would take Yu Ling to the mine in Jinhui Mountain.
Relying on your own flight speed, it doesn't take much time to do all this.
.......................................................................................................................................................................................
In the middle of the city, inside the inn.
Sun Xiaohe sat by the window, staring at the rain dripping along the eaves outside the window, her face suddenly rose anxiously, as if she was waiting for someone.
The door to the inn suddenly opened, and a man stepped in quickly, then hurriedly closed the door.
Sun Xiaohe hurriedly turned around and looked at the man in front of him, his eyes were full of friendship:
"Brother Lu......"
The man wears a square scarf and a long robe, he has a long figure, a handsome face, and is full of gentleness and elegance. It's not someone else, it's Lu Junsheng.
At this time, Lu Junsheng was full of nervousness:
"Little lotus...... Your grandfather ......."
Sun Xiaohe sneered, and she said:
"My grandfather went out and was with the group of people in Taiping Town. ”
Lu Junsheng was relieved when he heard that Sun Xiaohe's grandfather was not there.
He stepped in front of Sun Xiaohe, his eyes full of tenderness:
"Little Lotus ......"
Sun Xiaohe smiled:
"You're so afraid to see my grandfather? You're going to meet sooner or later, anyway. You said you were going to ...... this time. Jiang Gongzi got everything ready for us......"
Speaking of this, Sun Xiaohe's face was already extremely red.
Hearing the words "Gongzi Jiang", Lu Junsheng frowned, and he said:
"We don't know that Jiang Gongzi, and we are not related to him! Why is he arranging a marriage for us? This person must have a plan! Xiaohe, let's ignore him!"
When Sun Xiaohe heard this, he hurriedly said nervously:
"Jiang Gongzi is very powerful, and the big people in the city listen to him, you must not rush against him!"
鲁俊生正色 says:
"I, Lu Junsheng, read the book of sages and sages, and know the truth that might cannot be yielded! If that Jiang Gongzi really has a bad plan, even if Junsheng is beheaded and bleeding, he will not give in to him!"
Sun Xiaohe's eyes are full of helplessness and love, this is what she likes most about Lu Junsheng:
"Brother Lu, don't say that. You don't know that the Fengqi Restaurant where I work was washed away by the river yesterday, and the guys and the owner of the shop were washed into the river...... If it weren't for Gongzi Jiang settling me here, then I would probably be ...... and grandfather, who was also rescued by Jiang Gongzi from Taiping Town. So Jiang Gongzi is my benefactor. ”
Lu Junsheng grabbed Sun Xiaohe's hand and held it firmly in front of his chest:
"We have a clear grudge...... Don't talk about it, Xiaohe, I'll get ready. When the rain is over, the sky is clear, and you will officially propose to your grandfather. ”
Sun Xiaohe nodded, and then snuggled into Lu Junsheng's arms.
The two snuggled up to each other, and time seemed to freeze.
......
At this moment, the voice of the innkeeper and people talking came from outside the room:
"Guest, please! It's a coincidence that you're here, there happens to be a room left in our small shop! Don't you know that the people who suffered in Taiping Town are all living in our shop, so that's why you ...... Hello guest officer, you are familiar with each other, and you have patronized it before? My God! Isn't this Yan Zhutou? Why haven't you seen you for a few years, and you have grown old like this?"
An old voice rang out:
"When a person is about to die, he wants to go to the place where he once stayed. I've been in Yangcheng for a few years, and it's better for me to die here than in the broken place of the River Temple. ”
The innkeeper hurriedly said:
"Look at what you said, the little one looks at Yan Zhutou's steady steps, and then listens to your voice full of energy, I know that you can definitely live a long life! I have been taken care of by you, it is rare for you to come again, and the small shop is full of brilliance! Although you eat well and live here, the small ones do not take a penny!"
Yan Zhutou laughed and said:
"I can't do without you, maybe I'll have to rely on you to help me collect the body in two days. Don't worry, I won't die in your shop. I've been helping others collect corpses for so many years, but in the end, ...... Huh, the lack of moon gods is glowing...... I thought it was going to be buried with me, but I didn't expect it to recognize the Lord at this time...... The fate of my Yan clan has finally changed!Who is it?Who is that person?!"
After saying that, there was a rapid sound of thumping footsteps, as if someone was running quickly.
Immediately after, the door to the room was kicked open.
Sun Xiaohe exclaimed, and he was behind Lu Junsheng.
Lu Junsheng firmly protected Sun Xiaohe behind him, and asked angrily at the old man at the door of the room:
"What do you want to do, man, why do you trespass into other people's rooms!"
The old man at the door of the room had a snow-white beard, his hair was crooked to the side, he was wearing old but neat clothes, and a wine gourd was tied around his waist.
The old man's gaze quickly focused on Lu Junsheng, and then laughed:
"Boy, you don't have to know how to ask, just be ready to call me Master obediently!"
After finishing speaking, the old man rushed towards Lu Junsheng, and his body speed was not at all like that of the old man in the twilight.
Lu Junsheng was stunned, and was grabbed by the old man, quickly grabbed like an eagle carrying a chicken, and quickly left out of the room.
Knowing that Lu Junsheng was forcibly taken away by the old man, Sun Xiaohe reacted, she hurriedly screamed to save people, and chased after her.
However, at this time, where was the old man and Lu Junsheng in the inn, only the innkeeper who was overthrown to the ground chattered.
Sun Xiaohe ran helplessly to the street to look for it, she was frightened and angry, this old madman who ran from nowhere dared to take away her lover!
This matter must be reported to the official! I must also tell my grandfather! If my grandfather can talk to Jiang Gongzi, there will definitely be a way!
Thinking of her grandfather, Sun Xiaohe hurriedly ran towards the other end of the street, she knew where her grandfather was.
Grandpa couldn't change his nature of pretending to be a ghost, so he finally came back alive from Taiping Town, so he stayed with the survivors of Tianping Town all day.
Sun Xiaohe struggled to run towards the place where his grandfather was, as long as his grandfather could mobilize everyone to help, he would definitely be able to find the old madman and rescue his eldest brother Lu.
