Chapter 55: The Great Manor

I know that I have been cheated, but I can't track it down further because of time, this feeling is really not wonderful. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After leaving Zhao Zhong and a few people to stay in Huiyang, Zuo Chengwen took the one hundred and ten people, plus Qu Mingde, who canceled his plan to leave Jiangzhou because of his curiosity, and rushed to Pengcheng together.

Of course, there is another important reason why Qu Mingde dares to do this.

That is, from Zuo Chengwen's body, he could see that the Tiannan Dart Bureau did not seem to care as much about his victory in the "Beidou Sword Sutra" as expected.

"It's a pity for Lao Chen. Thinking of this, Qu Mingde sighed secretly in his heart.

Because the estimation of the situation at that time was not optimistic, the two sides did not arrive, and now they don't know where Lao Chen has gone. No matter how much Qu Mingde sighed in his heart, he didn't know where to look for him.

This time, the situation is different from when I came a few days ago.

At that time, Qu Mingde and Zuo Chengwen were intercepted all the way. Now, there were hundreds of people and horses, and there was not even a ghost except for the birds that were startled by the sound of their horses' hooves.

After a night's work, they returned to the small restaurant.

However, after Zuo Chengwen glanced at the wine flag waving in the wind in the morning light, he passed by without hesitation.

Seeing his appearance, the rest of the people certainly did not stop, so there was a rumbling sound of horses' hooves that disappeared into the ears of the hotel guests.

"What is going on, I haven't heard so many horses galloping in my life. ”

Although the time is early, the hall of the small restaurant is not deserted. At this time, an old man who seemed to be in good spirits said to a middle-aged man beside him.

"I don't know what's going on, it's been a little uneasy lately on the waterways, and it seems like there's a big storm brewing. The middle-aged man listened to the old man's words, and hurriedly bowed over and said, "Third uncle, seeing that things are not quite right now, I think that after this business is over, let's go home and stay first." ”

"Well, yes, yes, little stone, you've learned this way. Something wasn't quite right, we were going to go back and avoid the limelight, check on the situation and then come out and walk around. The old man said.

The middle-aged man felt very embarrassed to be called by this old man in public, the name of Xiaoshi, and he praised himself as a child. But the other party was an elder, and he couldn't say anything, so he had to smile.

......

"Brother Zuo, let's run over like this, I'm afraid this horse can't stand it. Qu Mingde said to Zuo Chengwen.

"Brother Qu, don't worry, I know it in my heart. This time, I didn't want to run to Pengcheng. ”

"Where are you going?"

"Ha, that's the Zhuangzi where my father usually stays, and it's only forty or fifty miles away from here. Everyone was in a hurry, and soon arrived. Zuo Chengwen said.

Hearing this, Qu Mingde stopped speaking.

Sure enough, as Zuo Chengwen said, in less than an hour, they broke away from the official road. After a while, a huge manor appeared in front of Qu Mingde and the others.

"What person!" Qu Mingde and the others, under the leadership of Zuo Chengwen, had just approached the manor, when they saw a person suddenly flash out on the side and asked at them.

Just didn't wait for Zuo Chengwen to answer, this person saw his appearance clearly. Therefore, he hurriedly confessed: "The subordinates are clumsy, and they have not seen the face of the eldest prince clearly, so please punish the son." ”

"It doesn't matter. Zuo Chengwen stood tall on the horse and asked the man, "Is my father in the manor?"

"The lord has been waiting for the eldest prince to come back. The man said, bowed down again and said, "Where the duty lies, the subordinates retire." ”

"Go ahead. ”

As soon as Zuo Chengwen's words fell, the man swooped and jumped into the forest on the side. Qu Mingde searched carefully, but he really couldn't find any trace of the other party.

"That's a good skill!" Qu Mingde thought to himself.

Zuo Chengwen noticed Qu Mingde's eyes and said to him: "This is a guard who has been trained since childhood, but I am afraid that there will be some problems." ”

Qu Mingde nodded, did not speak, but secretly slandered himself in his heart.

This so-called guard should be an elite scout, right? Well, it could also be an assassin hiding in a dark corner. This kind of concealment kung fu, if you really want to assassinate, it is amazing.

Thinking of the assassins, Qu Mingde remembered one more thing, that is, when they re-walked the Huiyang Road, there was no corpse in sight on the official road, and there was nothing on the side that looked like a grave. I don't know who helped the people who blocked the road to clean up the bones, and where the people who collected the bodies moved them.

This is a digression after all, so Qu Mingde just shook his head and threw this matter aside.

What he really cares about at the moment is actually Zuo Chengwen's father, Zuo Jianzhang, who is known as the overlord of Jiangzhou in the rivers and lakes.

How to face the Jiangzhou overlord is a very realistic problem.

Zuo Chengwen had already said loudly: "Brother Qu, please get off the horse and follow me to see my father." ”

"As it should be. Qu Mingde said, dismounting as he said.

At this time, naturally, someone came and led his horse aside. Those 100 people who followed Zuo Chengwen all the way from Huiyang, naturally some people led them to other places.

"Brother Qu doesn't need to be nervous, my father is actually a very good person to get along with. Zuo Chengwen saw that Qu Mingde was looking left and right, and seemed to be not very peaceful, so he comforted him.

"Hehe, let Brother Zuo smile. However, Ling Zun is known as the overlord and has been famous in Jiangzhou for many years, and I can't help but be nervous when a nobody like me comes to visit. Qu Mingde said.

"Alas, Brother Qu will know when you see it in a while, come with me. With that, Zuo Chengwen walked in front and personally led the way for Qu Mingde.

Qu Mingde followed him, still not stopping himself from looking left and right, and his face showed a slightly strange expression.

The reason why this is the case is not actually like his words, but really because he is uneasy about why he wants to meet a famous overlord in Jiangzhou. It is because Qu Mingde, with his extremely limited knowledge, faintly sees that this manor seems to be set up to deal with the battle - not the kind of battle in which the people of the rivers and lakes come and go, but an offensive and defensive battle in which the army presses the border and the two armies face each other.

For this kind of large-scale offensive and defensive battle in the era of cold weapons, what a solid defensive building should look like, Qu Mingde unfortunately happened to have some research.

With such a manor, there is no need to doubt the overlord of Jiangzhou.
