Chapter 1399 The Dead Wife
“It seems right, they are all drowned ghosts...”
Yao and Shun Yu recalled the lotus pond they saw last night, and the lush lotus flowers were all These are some deceptions, but they are actually faces with disheveled hair.
“So General Guo and the others were not killed by Zhennan Hou in a head-on battle with weapons, but they all died from drowning.” Li Bai’s breathing quickened, “It’s... it’s that ship!”
"That's right." Jiang Cheng thought Another picture appeared, "Do you still remember what Zhu Jie and Tang Qisheng said? They saw countless figures behind the door on the ship. The figures were wailing for help and trying desperately to open the door in front of them, but the ship... was not Stop sinking.”
A guess gradually formed in Jiang Cheng's mind: Zhennan Marquis used some method to trap General Guo and the others in the cabin, and then took advantage of the night to scuttle the big ship and send everyone in. The cold bottom of the lake.
But in the next second, this guess was overturned, because one thing didn't make sense. These people were all disciples who could break armor with their bare hands. How could a mere door stop them?
This is not the place to talk. Seeing that their goal has been achieved, the four of them plan to evacuate, but they must clean up the mess here before leaving.
First started to bury the previous coffin, and then several people returned to General Guo's tomb, but before they could do anything, Jiang Cheng suddenly stopped everyone.
Due to the excavation of the coffin, there was some excavated soil nearby. But at this moment, Jiang Cheng was staring at a spot on the soil. The fat man followed Jiang Cheng’s line of sight and saw that the soil was all messy. Shoe prints.
But the next second, the fat man's expression changed, because among the messy shoe prints, there were also some very strange marks. These marks were only one-third the size of ordinary people's shoe prints. They looked like... Left behind by someone who walked on tiptoes.
This unusual moment made everyone's hearts sink to the bottom. The two cemeteries were not far from each other. Within such a short distance, there was something secretly lurking behind them. Thinking of that scene, Fatty couldn't help but I shivered.
The strange footprints are crooked and extend all the way into the grass.
A few people from Jiangcheng pulled up grass that was as tall as one person and followed him. After walking a short distance, another tombstone suddenly appeared in front of them. The size of the tombstone was no less than that of General Guo.
After pulling out the tombstone this time, the vague name on it surprised Jiang Cheng and others. The tomb of his deceased wife... This is actually the tomb of Mrs. Zhennan Hou!
Although they knew early on that this place was a ghost house, no one expected that Zhennan Hou would actually bury his wife and these former soldiers together.
The coffin was dug out, and after it was opened, there was no body or wooden figure inside. There was only a bright red wedding dress lying quietly at the bottom of the coffin, and a pair of very delicate embroidered shoes at the end of the coffin.
What made everyone's scalp numb was that the embroidered shoes were still stained with fresh soil.
Li Bai mustered up the courage and took out a cloth bag stained red with blood from the coffin. The cloth bag was placed on the cuff of the wedding dress. In the coffin of Zhennan Hou's deceased wife, there was also a cloth bag. Bag of Soul Order.
Li Bai spread his hand and poured out the command arrows. As before, there were only 17 arrows in it, and the missing one was the sinking arrow.
Now the situation is gradually becoming clearer, but the doubts brought to everyone have not been alleviated at all. Judging from the layout here, Zhennanhou's wife also died in the huge sunken ship that night on Chunshen Lake, but why did she Will die? And he also died with these former soldiers?
Shouldn’t they be mortal enemies?
The harvest this time is not small, but as soon as everyone felt like they were clearing the clouds, the next second, they were involved in another whirlpool, and countless fragmentary clues were pieced together in their minds. It's difficult to keep a cool head in such a depressing environment, but this is very beneficial to Jiang Cheng. He is used to Thinking under high pressure, after just ten seconds, Jiang Cheng looked at Yao and Shunyu, "You read a lot of books in the bookstore, but there is no introduction to the life of Zhennan Hou in them, right?"
" No, there are only some superficial words of praise, and the only record is that he defeated the former General Guo. The dynasty captured Luo'an City. "Yao Shunyu expressed his opinion after recalling: "He seemed to be a person who appeared out of thin air, and the first half of his life was blank."
"Because he was a surrendered general from the previous dynasty! "Jiang Cheng's face gradually darkened, "With such an important status, naturally I don't dare to show off my merits in a big way. And I think he is very familiar with General Guo, and is even a general under General Guo. When the dynasty besieged Luo'an City for a long time and could not capture it, it was he who tricked General Guo and his men into killing him, and then he was able to open the city and dedicate it to the city. It was with the lives of these people that we gained wealth and glory in the rest of our lives.”
The fat man was stunned for a while, as if he was listening to a book from heaven. But after thinking about it carefully, he found out that what the doctor said did make sense. Otherwise, how could the extraordinary feats of seizing the city be mentioned in the book, and beheading generals on the battlefield? Everyone has their own fate in seizing the flag, and there is no need to curse the soldiers of the previous dynasty in such an insidious way that damages their morality.
No wonder those drowned ghosts were so resentful. Even at the bottom of Spring God Lake, dozens of miles away, they would not let go of the Marquis of Zhennan. The backstabbing from the brothers was the most difficult to let go.
At this moment, the dark cloud above their heads has gradually floated over everyone's heads, and there is no point in spending any more time. After simply burying Zhennan Hou's deceased wife, the group left quickly.
Before leaving, the fat man grabbed a few handfuls of dirt and put them in his pocket, saying that he was prepared. If something evil happened at night, he might be able to survive by swallowing a mouthful of grave dirt.
A few people walked very carefully, fearing that they would get lost in this deserted grassland by encountering ghosts beating the wall, but fortunately this did not happen. The pair of clay embroidered shoes just now were left to them. Psychological shadow.
Standing by the wall, everyone felt a chill behind them at the same time. They subconsciously looked behind them. At this moment, the dark clouds had completely enveloped the backyard. A gust of wind roared past, instantly suppressing the grass that was half a person tall. Dozens or hundreds of The dilapidated tombstones were exposed at the same time, like skewed and cold corpses standing in the grass. The scene was extremely weird.
The four of them almost fled here. They didn't dare to go through the door, and they couldn't go through the door. They climbed over the wall. Even after jumping over, the fat man's heart was still pounding. Jump.
Not long after leaving, before everyone could take a breath, Jiang Cheng's cell phone suddenly rang. He picked it up and saw that it was Mr. Zhang calling.
"Where are you? Why didn't you reply to the message and the phone was turned off?"
Mr. Zhang's tone gave Jiang Cheng a bad feeling. (End of chapter)
