Gongliang sat on the back of the black mammoth Dorjee with Mi Gu in his arms, and looked around, the crisscrossing streets, as well as the ancient buildings that were the same as the Jiangnan water towns in the previous life, were full of ancient flavors. Unlike the previous life, most of them are made of reinforced concrete, which makes people hurt when they look at it.

Suddenly, I felt something, and when I looked up, I saw Wu Liang, Xin Yuefeng, and Gongyan looking down from the window.

Wu Liang beckoned and invited him upstairs.

Gongliang looked left and right, and did not go immediately, but first rode the black mammoth Dorjee to the front inn, and then took Mi Gu and Yuan Rolling to the restaurant.

When he got upstairs, Gongliang bowed his hand and said politely: "I don't want to meet you again, it's really a blessing." ”

Wu Liang, Gong Yan, Xin Yuefeng and others responded, and after a few polite words, they invited him to take a seat, and asked the guys to add dishes and chopsticks, and drank wine together.

After drinking a few cups, Xin Yuefeng said curiously: "Gongliang, I heard that the night after I left, the county guard in Yunzhong disappeared, do you know the details?"

Gongliang naturally knew that it was still his own hand.

But how could he say such a thing, he quickly shook his head and said, "I don't know." I originally wanted to stay in Yunzhong County for a few more days, but when I got up in the morning, I heard that something had happened to the county guard in Yunzhong, and a large number of people rushed to the county guard's mansion. I was afraid that something would happen, so I hurried out of the city, and I didn't know what happened next. ”

"I guess that's what happened. Gong Yan said in a low voice.

"What do you say?" Xin Yuefeng asked.

"Ahem..."

Wu Liang coughed and said to everyone in a barely audible voice: "It's not easy to talk here, let's talk in another place." ”

Gongliang and the others glanced at each other, and they knew it in their hearts. It is a good thing to take the secret treasure in the clouds, but if it spreads, it will be a curse. At that moment, they asked the store to cook another table of wine and food to go with them.

Gongyan is a local noble family, with countless fields, continuous houses, and vast courtyards, and only a small lake in the backyard that introduces living water is 100 acres large.

There are all kinds of lotus flowers planted in the lake, but unfortunately it is now winter, the weather has become cold, the lotus flowers have withered, and only some broken stems are left standing in the lake.

Gongyan took Wuliang, Xin Yuefeng, and Gongliang to the pavilion built in the middle of the lake.

If it is summer, the lotus flowers on the edge of the lake pavilion are in full bloom, which is also pleasing to the eye. It's a pity that now it's all stump and leaves, and it looks like a big mess. Fortunately, on the edge of the lake, there are still some autumn chrysanthemums, safflowers, and green aquatic plants that have not yet withered, which are also quite impressive.

The group came to the Huxin Pavilion and sat down, and the shopkeeper who came back with them with the wine and food Ji Ji, with the help of Gongyan's domestic servants, put the wine and food on the table in the pavilion one by one.

After they were ready, Gongyan drove away all the servants who were waiting.

They can't leak a single thing, and if people listen to it, it will be a heinous disaster.

As the host, Gong Yan persuaded everyone to drink and drink, and then continued on the unfinished topic in the restaurant: "Do you remember that I went to get the secret treasure in the clouds and was blocked in the cave by the guards of the county in the clouds?"

"Naturally, I remember, but what does that have to do with the disappearance of the county guard in the clouds?" Xin Yuefeng asked with wide eyes.

Wu Liang was ashamed and said: "I want to say sorry to you for this. I checked it afterwards and found out that it was the entourage I brought that day who inadvertently said that he knew about it with his wife, and his wife's brother happened to be working in the county government, so it leaked out. Then the man was killed, and I disposed of the entourage. Now no one else should know about this matter except for the county guard in the clouds and a staff member who specially advises him. ”

"Exactly. ”

Gongyan slapped his face and said, "Just like what Brother Wuliang said, no one else knows the real situation except for us. But others don't know! When outsiders saw that he had sent troops to surround Hualong Gorge, they probably thought that he had obtained the secret treasure in the clouds, so they took him captive and forced him to ask about the secret treasure. ”

Such an analysis makes sense. Xin Yuefeng nodded in agreement.

Gongliang raised his eyebrows, feeling that these people's brains are too smart, and it is really convincing that they can associate these irrelevant things together.

"This matter has nothing to do with us, so don't mention it again in the future, so as not to be known, get into trouble, and affect your family. Wu Liang reminded.

Gongyan and Xin Yuefeng knew that the secret matter in the clouds was not trivial, so they hurriedly diverted the topic and frequently persuaded them to drink and eat.

After three rounds of drinking, Wu Liang asked Gongliang: "Last time you said you were going to the imperial capital, I don't know how to move forward?"

"Nature takes a straight line and walks along where the sun rises. Gongliang replied.

Wu Liang shook his head and said, "You came from the Great Wilderness, and you don't know the situation of my Great Xia. If you take a straight line, after Genosu is Onozawa, and after Onozawa is Cangwu County. In the past, it would have been nothing to go down this path. It's just that in the spring and autumn of this year, heavy rains continued in the land of Cangwu, floods broke out, floods engulfed the counties, and even the county town of Cangwu was flooded three times.

The people of Cangwu County were drowned countless because of this, floating corpses were everywhere, and some thieves took the opportunity to make trouble and captured the county seat, and even Cangwu County almost missed.

Fortunately, the imperial court reinforcements arrived in time to hold the Cangwu county city. ”

Wu Liang said this, paused, and then whispered again: "Cangwu is the hometown of the ghost country, the place where the corpses of the two negative gods are buried, and the people of the county worship ghosts and gods, and there are many strange things in the county. After this incident, Cangwu is even more mysterious, no matter day or night, it is eerie and weird, especially at night, it is even more weird.

It is said that every night, a ghost howl is heard from outside the wilderness, and the sound of the howling ghost is terrifying to hear from the suburbs to the city.

It is rumored that some people have witnessed ghosts eating people in the county, and some people have witnessed the nocturnal movement of hundreds of ghosts, and some people have witnessed the two armies fighting and fighting in the dark night, but when they go back during the day, there is no trace. Legend has it that the place has long been unhuman and has been reduced to a ghost realm. Even the elite soldiers and fierce generals sent by the imperial court to Cangwu County to garrison them did not dare to travel at night. ”

"Really?"

Xin Yuefeng has always been bold, but when he heard it at this time, he couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

"What am I lying to you about?" said Wu Liang with a glare.

"Needless to say, what Brother Liang said is true, I have a brother who is in charge in Cangwu County, and he returned with his wife and children a while ago, and he would wake up several times every night, and he died within a few days of returning. The doctor said that he was frightened. Gong Yan said gloomily. It seems that the brother and he still have a good relationship, otherwise he would not have such a look.

In this regard, Gongliang is not afraid.

Don't say that he is bold, just say that he has the Eye Beast Soul and the Fire Protection, and the ghost and ghost spirit will be destroyed as much as possible, and maybe he can take this opportunity to make the beast soul advance.

"In that case, Gongliang, you'd better not go straight. Xin Yuefeng kindly persuaded.

Wu Liang nodded: "What I said is, although I don't know if it's really that weird, I don't need to touch that brow." I suggest that you bypass Cangwu, turn around the poor stone and the emperor hill, or take the waterway, enter the Onozawa from the water under the Hualong Gorge, and then pass through the Razor, and then go to Yuwu, since Yuwu and then pass through the land of the two counties, you will go to the imperial capital Dragon City, although the speed is slower than you take a straight walk, but it is safe. ”

In fact, the safety he said was not absolute, because in the Zedi, there are fierce water beasts such as dragons, pythons, turtles, etc., if they are not careful, they will die here.

However, speaking of which, its danger level is indeed much better than that of Cangwu County, which has been reduced to a ghost domain.

Gongliang thanked Wu Liang for his kindness, but how to do it was his own business.

After eating, Gongyan, as the landlord, naturally let Gongliang live at home. As a local nobleman, if you let people know that you let a friend stay in the inn, you will be laughed at for a long time.

It was difficult to resist the hospitality, so Gongliang had to go to the inn to get the black mammoth Dorjee and stay in Gongyan's house.
