Chapter 1464 Departure
“That’s one of your people, I remember her name is Lu Qin.”
“Why did she appear there? Did you return to the mourning hall again after you left last night? ?”
Faced with General Yuwen’s aggressiveness, Jiang Cheng acted very calmly, "General, you misunderstood. Although Lu Qin came to the house with us, she is not one of ours, and we are not familiar with each other."
"That's right. , We are all here at the invitation of the Marquis," Yao Shunyu said at the right time.
"We were all busy stealing hydrangeas last night. How could we have time to go back to the mourning hall."
Everyone expressed support for Jiang Cheng. After all, General Yuwen's posture was obviously to use the topic.
Seeing that this plan was not working, General Yuwen changed the topic, "That's all, everyone is dead, so I won't pursue this matter anymore. Our Houfu will pay her share of the reward, thanks to the hard work of the masters. "Bring this money to her family."
"General," Jiang Cheng pretended to be polite.
General Yuwen waved his hand, and his eyes became subtle, "Masters, how did you complete the mission last night? That hydrangea"
The fat man was very discerning and took out the hydrangea hidden in the package, passed it through Jiang Cheng's hand and handed it to General Yuwen.
At this time, the hydrangea has been mended by Fatty, and there are no flaws at all. Fatty’s needlework skills have been revealed to everyone.
General Yuwen held the hydrangea and looked it up and down carefully, then handed it to the soldier beside him, smiled and nodded to the people in Jiangcheng, "Very good, with this hydrangea, I believe that the Marquis is ill." It will get better soon. Thanks to all the masters.” The human touch is just right.
The corners of General Yuwen's mouth turned up, seemingly very satisfied with them, "The Marquis is not feeling well and it is inconvenient to see you. I will convey some words on your behalf. The Marquis hopes that you will go to Chunshen Lake today to find out the truth about the ghost building. .”
Everyone took a breath after hearing the words and secretly said that they have finally arrived. Li Bai asked: "When will we set off?"
"The sooner the better. Food and water bags have been prepared for the masters? They can be ready at any time." Let’s go.”
< br>He thought for a moment and verified: "General, Spring God Lake is dozens of miles away from here. The mountain road is rugged and difficult to navigate. Even if we set out now, I am afraid it will be difficult to arrive before dark."
General Yuwen said with relief: "This point Masters, please rest assured that we have made arrangements. You will encounter a village on the way to Chunshen Lake. You can rest for a while in that village. When you are fully prepared, it will not be too late to go to Chunshen Lake to investigate. .”
"Village?"
"Yes, it is a fishing village, not far from Chunshen Lake. No one is more familiar with Chunshen Lake than them. You can ask them all questions." General Yuwen said lightly explain.
Hearing that he was going to stay in a deserted village for the night, the fat man panicked subconsciously. This brought back some bad memories for him, "What is the name of this village?"
"Daotou Village "
The moment these three words were spoken, a gust of wind blew in the open space. The wind blew through the gaps between the branches and leaves, making a sharp sound like a ghost crying.
"Daotou Village"
General Yuwen ignored everyone's different expressions, reached out and took out a piece of paper and a dark wooden sign from his arms.
“This paper marks the route to Daotou Village. As for how to find Chunshen Lake, the villagers there will tell you.”
“You want this wooden sign? Keep it carefully. This represents your identity. We are on the wooden sign. The villagers will know your background after seeing the mark of the Hou Mansion, and they will not dare to be disrespectful to you."
General Yuwen handed the two things to Jiang Cheng, and then the sound of horse hooves was heard not far away. Before everyone could recover, several horses were fetched by servants.
General Yuwen stroked the brown horse leading the team, "It's a long journey, so I'd like to ask all the masters to ride there so that they can have some energy left."
Seeing that there were only 8 horses, they only had 8 left. People, Tang Qisheng asked hurriedly: "General, are there only 8 of us going? The mountain road is rugged and there is no one familiar with the terrain to guide us. We are afraid."
Before he finished speaking, Interrupted by General Yuwen, he smiled and said: "Master, you are worrying too much. This is all arranged by the Marquis. There will be no mistakes. The Daotou Village is easy to find."
That's it. , it was inconvenient for everyone to say more, so the group of people gathered their things and led the horses away. After walking far away, Jiang Cheng turned around and saw General Yuwen and others still standing there, motionless, watching them go away with stiff expressions.
The leader took them all the way to the gate of Hou Mansion. At this moment, the gate of Hou Mansion was open, and outside the door was the stone street.
Seeing this, Jiang Cheng's eyes couldn't help but change, and he asked in a low voice to the soldier leading the way: "This is the main entrance of the Hou Mansion, are we sure we want to go out from here?"
The soldier leading the way didn't look back, and nodded. He lowered his head and replied in a loud voice: " Yes, this is all the arrangement of General Yuwen."
Only a few dozen meters away from the Hou Mansion, I heard a strange sound. I turned my head and saw that the door of the Hou Mansion was gradually closing behind me. "Bang. "After a sound, the last crack disappeared.
Tang Qisheng's face darkened, "If you don't go through the side door, you have to attack through the front door. This means we are certain that we will not die well."
The fat man also felt strange, and looked at Jiang Cheng out of habit, who explained : "In ancient times, if a general went on an expedition and learned that the trip was extremely dangerous, he would arrange for someone to drag a coffin behind his horse's tail and open the main door of the mansion to leave. This meant that the cauldron would sink the boat. If he failed to win and return triumphant, he would be buried in the coffin and return home."
"As time went by, everyone began to avoid such customs, and going out at the front door had the meaning of being gone forever."
The fat man was stunned for a while after hearing this, thinking about the people in the Hou Mansion. But they are all bad and smoking. No wonder General Guo and his wife want to kill them all. They really should be killed. None of them are good.
According to the map, the group quickly left the lively market and came to a rural dirt road. The road became more and more rugged. The nearby vegetation grew amazingly, and even if there were people hiding in it, they could not be seen at all.
Tang Qizheng has a lot of knowledge about horses. During his free time on the road, he commented that the horses under their crotches did not look tall and powerful. This was because these horses were not good at explosive power. They were good at endurance and obedience. Sex is good.
It was very peaceful along the way. The road became more and more remote, and in the end there was almost no road. Yao, Shun, and Yu in Jiangcheng checked the map many times and found that there was no problem. It was indeed this direction.
Unknowingly, moisture appeared in the nearby mountains and forests, and then a blank mist rose from all directions and enveloped them.
There was a rustling sound in the mist, as if something was approaching quickly. (End of this chapter)
