Chapter 1424 Moving the Coffin
After leaving the inn, Fatty Jiangcheng came to a stall along the street. There was a stove set up here. The firewood was burning brightly under the stove, crackling, and wearing a melon skin hat. When the vendor saw someone coming, he immediately opened the stove lid, and the aroma of roasted sweet potatoes burst out.
“Boy, here are the fragrant roasted sweet potatoes, freshly baked.” The elderly vendor smiled with him, grinning, revealing his charred teeth.
The fat man swallowed his saliva greedily, staring at the sweet potatoes inside, "Bring me 10! Pick the big one!"
"Okay!"
Holding the wrapped roasted sweet potatoes, the two of them found a seat nearby and squatted on the ground to eat. Jiang Cheng originally leaned against the wall to eat, but was persuaded by the fat man to squat down together. The fat man's mouth was full of "Doctor, you" Listen to me, you have to squat down to eat roasted sweet potatoes, preferably under the corner, so that you can enjoy the taste."
After Jiang Cheng tried it reluctantly, he found that it seemed to be really there. The truth is, the same half-cut sweet potato seems to taste better.
Hitting Jiang Cheng with his elbow, the fat man was about to say something to him, but before the words came out of his mouth, two familiar figures suddenly appeared in the corner of the street not far away.
When he saw these two people, Fatty suddenly stood up because it was none other than Lu Qin Shaotong, who had almost killed him before.
The fat man didn’t expect that these two people actually dared to come.
And it seemed that the two of them were very relaxed.
At the same time they were discovered by Fatty, Lu Qin and the others walked out. Shaotong, who was one step slower than Lu Qin, still had the same careless expression, which made Fatty grit his teeth.
“Don’t be impulsive, let’s see what they are going to do.” Jiang Cheng put away the sweet potatoes and stood next to the fat man and said.
Shao Tong is heartless. In such a situation, he actually asked Fatty Jiang Cheng for sweet potatoes with a smile, "Let's get to know each other. I might be able to help you someday. I'll eat one of you, Master Dao." Isn't the sweet potato too much?"
Jiang Cheng was not angry, pretending to be concerned and asked: "Where did you two go last night? We were worried about you and thought you were captured by those things. ”
"We went to a very far place yesterday to look for clues. We encountered some troubles on the way, so we didn't rush back. When we returned to Hou's Mansion after dark, the gate of the mansion was closed. The road to Hou's Mansion was not easy to walk at night, so we went We've been dealing with it outside all night." Lu Qin explained in detail, obviously having made preparations in advance, but Fatty Jiangcheng didn't believe a single punctuation mark in these words.
Shaotong was in a good mood after taking the sweet potato and couldn't help but squint his eyes: "But luckily we didn't go back last night, otherwise how could we have seen that thing by chance."
Hearing that Jiang Cheng came Interested, "What did you see?"
"Although we didn't enter the Hou's Mansion last night, we didn't dare to leave the Hou's Mansion. It was too far, so we found an empty house not far from the Hou Mansion. We could just see the main gate of the Hou Mansion from near the house. "
"The two of us alternated the vigil, but it turned out that it was just late at night. After that, I was called up, and Shao Tong and I found that the door of the Hou Mansion was actually opened. "Lu Qin's expression became serious, "And it's the main entrance."
"Open the main gate at night?"
"Yes, we saw it with our own eyes." Lu Qin emphasized, "After the main gate opened, a group of people came out. There was a horse team in front to lead the way, but the horse team made little noise. The horses' hooves should have been wrapped in soft cloth. Also, none of these people had torches, but only the front and last four. People are carrying lanterns, white paper lanterns. "
It is definitely taboo to carry a white lantern to open a road at night. There is a saying that white lanterns are also called dark lanterns, and judging from the actions of the Hou Mansion, this is absolutely taboo. Hiding unknown secrets, the entire Hou Mansion is like a huge mystery, but this mystery is being torn apart bit by bit.
"What else did you see?" the fat man asked in a low voice.
At this time, even the unruly Shaotong calmed down and glanced at the fat man with a subtle look, "We knew that this team must have something to say, so we immediately left the house and slowly approached. These people Finally, a coffin was brought out from the Marquis' Mansion. It was a large coffin and was placed on a carriage. The coffin was covered with thick hemp ropes. "
"After the coffin was shipped out, these people didn't stop for a moment. They went directly in one direction. They moved very quickly, and we confirmed that direction today. It is the direction of Chunshen Lake, which is dozens of miles west from here. , it can’t be wrong,” Shaotong said firmly.
At night, the Marquis Mansion, the cavalry, the underworld lanterns opening the way, the coffin wrapped with hemp rope, and the direction of Spring God Lake, all connected together, are destined to be definitely not a simple journey. .
The coffin needs to be tied with hemp rope, which proves that there must be something very dangerous inside. The most important thing now is to find out what exactly they transported from the Hou Mansion.
Jiang Cheng probably has a few guesses. First, the coffin was dug out from the backyard of the Yin Mansion, which is the tomb of General Guo or his wife. This is also consistent with the so-called spirit transfer ability tonight.
Second... Jiang Cheng frowned. He suspected that the person in the coffin was a living person, but this living person was very dangerous. He made it clear that he suspected that the person in the coffin might be the Marquis of Zhennan.
But since this method of escorting is needed, it proves that Zhennanhou's situation is worse than they expected, and he should be on the verge of being completely eroded.
They will think of the story Zhennan Hou told them, about General Guo and other disciples who were sealed in the cabin by him and the whole army was annihilated. People are shocked.
General Guo and the others also set out for Spring God Lake before they were about to be completely eroded, with the purpose of finding the so-called Bliss Tower to survive.
Looking back now, the Hou Mansion delivered a heavy coffin tied up with hemp rope late at night, so it should be possible to explain that the coffin was said to be the Marquis of Zhennan.
Seeing Jiang Cheng's hesitation, Shaotong suddenly smiled, "You have thought of it too, right? We also suspect that the Marquis of Zhennan is inside the coffin. If it is really him, then how can we go to Chunshen Lake next? Just be careful.”
But after hearing these words, Jiang Cheng's expression changed slightly, "How did you know we were going to Spring God Lake?" It was obvious that Lu Qin Shaotong had not been in contact with anyone from the Hou Mansion, and these people had just received the news not long ago. General Yuwen.
Aware of Jiang Cheng's vigilance, Lu Qin quickly explained: "Before we came to find you, we went back to the Hou Mansion. Our original intention was to explore the truth, but the hands and feet of the people in the Hou Mansion were very clean. No traces were left, and we were almost discovered while searching for clues. It was General Yuwen. He told us that tonight's mission was to move the spirit of the first lady. "(End of Chapter)
