372 Rumors abound
After traveling on the sea for three days, Bai Xiaosheng and his entourage disembarked at Songjiang Mansion, but to the surprise of the group, as soon as they got off the boat, they saw a large group of soldiers guarding the port, and a sturdy old man stood not far away, watching them.
"Grandpa Huang......" Mu Feng exclaimed, Huang Hai, Bai Xiaosheng, and Dugu Invincible glanced at each other, secretly wondering, how did Huang Tiancheng know that he and the others were coming?
With doubts in their hearts, the three of them saw this old-timer one by one. Huang Tiancheng was also quite bold, with a wave of his hand, the army contracted, and escorted everyone to the mansion where he was.
It's strange that Huang Tiancheng's mansion at this time is not his home, but the place of the mansion.
The guards here are extremely tight, and the soldiers of the brigade are constantly patrolling back and forth, and as soon as a few people enter, they feel the atmosphere is calm. This made the group even more strange, what the hell is going on? Could it be that something happened to Songjiang?
In the back hall of the yafu, there was a general, and when he saw Huang Tiancheng coming in, he immediately bowed and saluted, saying, "Huang Hu has seen the general!"
Huang Tiancheng nodded, sat on the main seat, waved his hand, and said, "Everyone, please take a seat." ”
Huang Hu sat down with a solemn expression and a murderous aura on his face. Bai Xiaosheng glanced at each other and sat down. Huang Tiancheng said: "Several, you have been walking in the sea for three days, I don't know how it has changed recently, Huang Hu, you can tell everyone about the rumors of the past two days." ”
"Yes!" Huang Hu clenched his fists and said loudly: "Several, since three days ago, a rumor suddenly came from the north, saying that the Jin Kingdom had left a big treasure outside the Guan, and the treasure not only contained the wealth of the rich country, but also many martial arts classics. And the clues about the treasure are hidden in the nine-curved stone beads. "Speaking of which. He paused and looked at Mu Feng. said: "Miss Mu, please mourn." ”
Mu Feng was stunned for a moment, then his face changed greatly, and he said with a pale face: "Uncle Huang, what do you mean by this?"
Huang Hu sighed and said, "The eldest brother of the Mu family is dead! The source of this rumor is the Mu family, and the Mu family has been wiped out. According to the news, the news that you brought Shizhu to the south has spread all over the rivers and lakes. This is also the reason why the old general blocked the dock and waited for a few people from the dock. ”
"Impossible!" Mu Feng shook his body. Huang Yao on the side immediately supported her, and couldn't help but say, "Uncle Huang, could it be that the news is wrong?"
Huang Hu shook his head, his face full of pity. Mu Feng couldn't bear it anymore, he was angry, his face turned red, but he fainted.
"Come on!" Huang Hu immediately shouted, and two soldiers came in and helped Mu Feng down. Huang Yao was not at ease, and followed along.
Huang Hai said in a deep voice: "General Huang, has this rumor spread all over the rivers and lakes in three days?"
Huang Hu nodded and said, "Yes! There is fraud in it." It's inevitable. But we can't find out who is behind it. ”
Huang Tiancheng took out the stone beads that Mu Feng gave him, and carefully played with them. Suddenly, he said, "Do you have any clues?"
Huang Hai shook his head and said, "I've also seen this stone bead." Although there are nine curves inside, there is no clue about the treasure. ”
Huang Tiancheng nodded. With a flip of his hand, he put away the stone beads, and said, "A few people are tired all the way, so take a good rest, and talk about it tomorrow." ”
Several people glanced at each other, and said at the same time: "There is General Lao!"
Under Huang Tiancheng's arrangement, several people stayed in the mansion, they first ate some food, and then went back to their rooms to rest. In the room, Bai Xiaosheng sat quietly on the bed, thinking about what happened recently and calculating the possible situation.
As soon as a few people went to the sea, rumors about stone beads flew all over the sky, there was no fraud in this, who believed it?
"So, that stone bead may just be a bait......" Bai Xiaosheng frowned secretly, but he couldn't figure out the key for a while, after all, he didn't know much, and it was too unrealistic to want to string everything together out of thin air.
In the middle of the night, there was a sound in the palace, and Bai Xiaosheng heard the sound of weapons clashing, and then there was a shout. He didn't move, just listened, and the sound soon died down, and he calmed down again.
Early in the morning of the second day, Bai Xiaosheng was invited to breakfast, and when he arrived at the hall, he found that there were three more people present - three innate masters.
"Haha......" Huang Tiancheng smiled, pointed to the extra three people and introduced them to everyone: "Several, let me introduce you to you, these three are people from our military system, they are not famous in the rivers and lakes, and there are not many people who know about them, but they are very famous in the army." The one on the left is the chief instructor of our Songjiang area, Wu Langqing; the one in the middle is the person who was photographed above, Lin Xiang, the head of the Jingzhong Praetorian Guard; the one on the right is very famous, and he is known as Moyunshou......"
"Camel ......"
Dugu Invincible's eyes narrowed, and then Huang Tiancheng's words spit out two words.
Huang Tiancheng smiled slightly and said, "Yes, it is the Moyun hand camel." Speaking of which, he is a little famous in the rivers and lakes, but compared with Dugu's invincible nephew, he is much worse. ”
"Really?" Dugu was invincible, staring straight at the Moyun Hand Camel.
The camel smiled at him, turned his head sideways, and the other two also glanced at him, and then stopped watching, which made Dugu Invincible's body cold and terrifying.
When Huang Hai saw it, he immediately pulled Dugu Invincible and said with a smile: "In the Yellow Sea, it is really an honor to be able to meet the three of them." I'll give you a drink......" he did first and gestured slightly.
With his interruption, the atmosphere also turned back, and Huang Tiancheng smiled and said: "Okay, everyone, hurry up and eat, and when we finish eating, we will go on the road." ”
The imperial court touched three congenital masters at one time, plus Huang Tiancheng, a veteran, which shows the importance attached to this matter. Bai Xiaosheng was eating, his eyes swept over several people one by one, and he thought to himself.
Will this time things go smoothly?
He didn't know the bottom in his heart, he always felt that things would not be so simple, since the rumors had risen, it was impossible to suppress them at all, and there were already a lot of people rushing to the gate now.
What exactly are those people going to do?
Could it be that they have the audacity to leave all these people out of the gate?
Or do they want to sow discord between the imperial court and the grassland peoples outside the Guan?
"Wait, maybe, they just want to draw everyone's attention to the outside of the gate......" Bai Xiaosheng thought of this possibility, but he himself was not quite sure.
After breakfast, the group turned back to the wharf, boarded the boat from the wharf, and went straight to Tianjin Port.
On the boat, everyone naturally had nothing to do, so they stayed separately when they were free, and when they were talking, they gathered together to talk about martial arts. It's a bit boring, but it's not slow.
About four days later, the group disembarked from Tianjin. However, another rumor made the Yellow Sea change color.
Two days ago, the Penglai faction and the Huanghai Gang reached a reconciliation, and the two factions decided to renegotiate their sphere of influence and form an alliance to run Shandong together, calm down the chaos in Shandong, and return everyone a stable environment.
This is a declaration shared by the two factions, and it is a good thing for those who do not know why, after all, Shandong is in chaos, and the people who live there are not having a good time. However, the Yellow Sea was like being struck by lightning.
He is the leader of the Yellow Sea Gang, why is it so serious, he doesn't believe it at all?
Among them, there must be a problem.
Hearing this common declaration, several people around Huang Hai were a little dumbfounded, Huang Tiancheng frowned, and said, "Nephew Huang Xian, are you going back?"
Huang Hai's face was pale, he didn't want to believe that this was true, judging from the conversations of the people around him, this would definitely not be fake. Damn! Secretly scolding, Huang Hai barely squeezed out a smile, and said: "The old general is strict, the affairs of the Huanghai Gang are not in a hurry." ”
Bai Xiaosheng smiled silently, and Huang Tiancheng didn't say anything more.
If the matter is a foregone conclusion, what can Huang Hai do when he goes back? Is he looking for death? Therefore, his choice is very clear. This time, he is obviously hugging Huang Tiancheng's thigh, as long as it is done, even if he loses the Huanghai Gang, he will still have a chance to make a comeback. But if you go back alone, it's hard to say anything.
Everyone understands the trade-offs very well! This Yellow Sea also has the courage to make a decision almost instantly.
After passing through Tianjin and entering the northern parallel, Huang Tiancheng and Bai Xiaosheng separated. Huang Tiancheng wants to lead the army, although Bai Xiaosheng and the others are meritorious, they are not from the imperial court, so naturally they can't follow, if they want to see it, they have to walk over on their own. Of course, it's okay if they don't go.
It's just that this time, several people want to see it.
"This old man Huang has reservations about us. Bai Xiaosheng sighed.
Huang Hai and Dugu Invincible didn't answer, but Wang Wudao: "Why did the seniors say that?"
"The secret of the stone beads. Bai Xiaosheng said: "The stone bead is about the treasure, but where is the treasure? Can it be summed up in one sentence? The old man came here to transfer troops, obviously he already knew the approximate location of the treasure, but we didn't know. Speaking of this, he looked at Huang Hai and said, "Huang Gang Leader, are you really not going back to Yantai?"
Huang Hai shook his head with an ugly face, Bai Xiaosheng was bored, and then he didn't say more, and the group walked north in some silence. (To be continued......)
