Chapter 7 How many legs does a chicken have?
"I can help you!"
When Shangguan Xia crossed the blockade of the bloody battlefield and arrived outside Tanzhou City, she saw a man in black sitting on a stone. He didn't seem surprised to see her arrival, as if he was waiting for her here.
"Who are you?"
"It doesn't matter who I am, you just need to know that I'm here to help you and avenge my useless brother."
Shangguan Xia calmly asked her men to disperse and surround the person in front of her. Although this person did not show any signs of cultivation, alarm bells rang in her heart, and her intuition told her that this person was not a good person.
"Ahem!"
"Elder Shangguan, there is no need to be so wary of me. The enemy of my enemy is my friend, right?"
Shangguan Xia suddenly thought of many enemies in his mind, and then said with a sneer, "It turns out that you are someone who was forced into desperation by the Jiang family. You are not qualified to cooperate with me."
The man in black sneered, took off his mask, and came behind Shangguan Xia. Before Shangguan Xia could react, his life gate had been controlled.
"You...who are you?"
"Shura, Cang Di Bei!"
Shangguan Xia looked at this Shura man and frowned, Shura man? That's it.
She also received news that Shura's people secretly attacked the Jiang family and were blamed. In this case, Shangguan Xia smiled and said, "We can cooperate. I wonder what your organization can provide."
"What to provide? No, no, no? I changed my mind. We are not cooperating, but superiors and subordinates."
Cang Dibei held the spell in one hand, and the sound of Xuanxuan demons penetrated his ears. Several Haoyue Sect monks with good cultivation beside Shangguan Xia roared in pain, and then their pupils turned white, and Beicang Dibei took control.
"you you……"
Shangguan Xiaqi's body trembled. He was so violent that he got away, but after he got away, he faced Cang Dibei whose strength was unknown, and he didn't know how to deal with it. He gritted his teeth and said, "What on earth do you want to do?"
"Um?"
Cang Dibei smiled and replied: "Of course it's the same as what you want to do, capture Gu Yinglian, and then wait for the Jiang family to fall into the trap and wash away the failure caused by my incompetent brother."
Gu Yinglian, who? Shangguan Xia was a little confused. Her plan was to capture Jiang Yinxi, bring him to Chen Fan and kill him, so that Chen Fan would stop being distracted by such trivial matters.
"I'm afraid Gu Yinglian is not qualified. The Jiang family will not take risks easily for a woman."
Cang Dibei glanced at Shangguan Xia and shook his head. He didn't even know that country people were country people.
Through the secret hidden in Chang'an, Shura learned that Gu Yinglian of the Jiang family was pregnant. Gu Yinglian may not be important, but after she has the flesh and blood of the Jiang family in her body, it is very important.
Originally, there was no need for him to come in person to deal with a small Tanzhou native, but whoever made his ancestors practice in seclusion went crazy and said that the Jiang family must be removed, she would come in person.
So he was sent to set up a trap to lure the Jiang family to the location where Shura was planning, and then his ancestor Cang Kong slapped the Jiang family to death.
I don’t know why the Jiang family offended the ancestor. Although his incompetent brother was valued by the ancestor, he didn’t want to mobilize so many people. It can only be said that the Jiang family is extremely talented in committing suicide.
"Gu Yinglian is pregnant with Jiang family flesh and blood. Do you think she is qualified?"
"Also, don't look at me like that, I'm afraid... I'll kill you accidentally."
Shangguan Xia suppressed the anger in her heart, damn Shura, he will die when Chen Fan frees his hand, but now she must pretend to cooperate with Shura.
"So you want us to help you go to Jiang's house to capture Gu Yinglian?"
"It's not stupid, but it doesn't need to be so troublesome!"
As Cang Dibei said, he had already started to leave. Although the cultivation of the monks he controlled was not bad, they were still not as useful as the Shura people. Unfortunately, all the Shura members alive in Tanzhou were living in the dungeons rather than dead.
In the night, Shangguan Xia followed Cang Di Bei and looked at the buildings around him that were getting plainer and plainer. He had some doubts. This was not a cry to Jiang Mansion. Where was he going? Tanzhou Shura Branch? Hasn't it been uprooted?
Are you up?
"arrive!"
Shangguan Xia's doubts in his heart have not been resolved. In the small courtyard with lights in front of him, a middle-aged mortal couple is busy preparing dinner. What's the use of these two people who may die if they blow their breath.
"Do it now?"
"Be patient and don't be impatient."
Cang Dibei turned around and walked into the house opposite the small courtyard. After walking in, Shangguan Xia frowned. She smelled a slight smell of blood, which became stronger as she walked up. She knew that she saw a family of four.
The corpse was lying in a small room on the second floor. It was obviously the work of Cang Dibei.
"Get rid of this body so that it won't be discovered by the little catcher across the door."
The monk who rolled his eyes silently destroyed the corpse without any trace of traces, his face expressionless.
Tomorrow is the fifteenth day, and thousands of lights are gathered together. No matter how ruthless Gu Yinglian is, he will definitely look back at home, not to mention that he has to tell his mother's family about pregnancy.
As long as he waits for Gu Yinglian to show up, he can arrest people.
…
As a new head catcher, Gu Bai was not convinced when he learned that his position as head catcher was actually secretly helped by the Jiang family. Even with the laughter during the Spring Festival, everyone put down their work and enjoyed life.
.
He didn't relax either. Except for the first day of the new year, he continued to patrol every day and deal with trivial matters. Occasionally, he would take a break and say sweet words to the shopkeeper at the inn.
"Gu Baotou, you don't have to come to Dianmao tomorrow, our brothers will take your place."
Gu Bai wanted to say something else when he heard: "Captain Gu, please take pity on us. During the festival, the patrol salary is several times the usual, and we can only eat enough, but the whole family is not hungry. You can't just watch."
We watch other people laughing and laughing on the street."
"Moreover, with this salary, I can vent my fire after the Lantern Festival and let the first fire of the day burn brightly."
Gu Bai quickly agreed to prevent these old bachelors from starting to talk crazy about him.
On the way home, Gu Bai first went to the inn to see if anyone was making trouble, and by the way, he had a meal of noodles cooked by the shopkeeper himself. After eating, Gu Bai sighed, when could he take the shopkeeper's food home, and then give it to him?
She eats.
"I'm leaving first. If anything happens, I'll notify the police. I said hello to them."
The shopkeeper smiled without saying a word and watched Gu Bai leave.
The waiter said abruptly: "Shopkeeper, if you like her, come in. I'll help you apply sweat medicine directly, and cook the raw rice for you. From now on, there will be someone in charge of our inn."
"As I said, we are now opening an inn, not a black shop."
The shopkeeper sighed, "Thieves and officials, what are these?"
When Gu Bai arrived in the alley of his home, he put one foot in front of the house and suddenly turned around to look behind him. He vaguely felt a sense of malicious prying eyes, and he seemed to have a vague smell of blood.
.
"Xiao Bai, you came back just in time. The old hens we just killed today are going to make soup for Ying Lian tomorrow. There are two extra big chicken legs. Xiao Bai, eat them while they are hot."
Is it the bloody smell of chicken killing? Gu Bai shook his head, took the big bowl handed over by his mother, looked at the chicken legs inside, slightly lost in thought, and sighed secretly, there were two complete chicken legs lying in the bowl.
It's flowing with oil.
"Xiao Bai, tomorrow is the Lantern Festival. Go to Jiang's house and ask Ying Lian and her husband to come over for a meal."
"You bitch, you don't even look at our place. This is not trying to make trouble for others." Father Gu frowned and spoke. After speaking, he looked at the chicken legs in Gu Bai's bowl and the old woman without legs in the pot on the fire.
chicken.
"Today I will give this soup to Gu Bai. I will buy another one tomorrow, make soup with it, and give it to Ying Lian."
"..."
Late at night, Gu Bai tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. All he could think about was whether his sister would come home for a reunion dinner. As for Jiang Yinxi, he automatically filtered it.
At this time, lying on the bed and looking at the moon by the window, Gu Bai felt the sense of peeping again. He sat up and looked across, and in a trance he seemed to see a woman's figure fleeting away.
Where did the young women from the house opposite come from, not two old men and two children? Gu Bai quickly got up and went downstairs, only to find that the lights downstairs were brightly lit. Father Gu was holding a basin, painting Baijiang layer by layer, pasting paper, and...
Keep the floor spotless.
"Can't sleep?"
"I……"
"Then come with me to clean the inside and outside of the house and put on new window paper."
While working until midnight, Gu Bai suddenly remembered what he was doing downstairs and asked, "Dad, are the young couple across from our house back?"
Father Gu thought for a while, one was in the army and the other had returned to his parents' home. It would be almost the same if he came back today.
"Yes!"
"Gu Bai, go to bed first and leave the rest to dad."
"Dad, why did you do this?"
