Chapter 68: Lie and hollow out
Everyone looked at each other for a long time, but they didn't say anything.
In the lobby of the inn, there was a sudden calm for a moment.
After about several breaths, Xuanyuan Lingling suddenly coughed lightly, instantly breaking the strange atmosphere at the scene.
But when Xuanyuan Lingling suddenly opened his red lips slightly, he immediately said in a calm tone: "The Dahu Empire has sent heavy troops to siege Fenglang City this time. In fact, this is just a cover. Their ultimate goal is to seize the divine weapons from the sky."
Xie Ao nodded quickly, then Xuanyuan Lingling said, "What the Huguo Master said is true. At that time, when he saw the commander of the Dalu Empire enter the city, everyone in our city was in danger, and he thought that this time he would be alive.
But what puzzled everyone was that after the Dahu enemy entered the city, it did not slaughter the creatures and hurt us people in the city.
The commander of the Dakan enemy army just asked us, the people in the city to cook and wash clothes for them. Secondly, we did not let us, the people in the city leave the city. As for other aspects, we did not make much trouble for us."
Speaking of this, Xie Ao paused for a while, then picked up a cup from the wine table and poured a mouthful of wine into his mouth.
Xie Ao took a deep breath and continued, "When the little brother was delivering food to them, he accidentally heard them discussing the coming of the divine weapon in the big tent. Only then did I learn that their attack on Fenglang City was actually aimed at the divine weapon."
Everyone opened their eyes wide, stared at Xie Ao, and listened silently, his speech in a very singular way.
Xuanyuan Lingling nodded aside and suddenly interrupted, "After the Dahu enemy obtained the magical weapon, he retreated to the northwest desert without hesitation?"
Xie Ao nodded seriously and said, "We have been locked in the city and are not allowed to enter and exit. Until today, the strange phenomenon has appeared today. Most of the troops of the Dalu Empire have been drawn out of the city.
Our people in the city used several jars of fine wine to get drunk with the guards of the central army's tent. Only then did they find out from one of the guards that the day was unhappy. It was actually a sign before the birth of the divine weapon. Later, the enemy army of Dahu took the divine weapon and retreated straight to the desert area of the northwest."
Xuanyuan Lingling listened to Xie Ao's words quietly and pondered for a moment. She suddenly changed the subject and said, "Does the shopkeeper Xie know where the souls of the Meng family army died in battle are placed at this moment?"
Xie Ao scratched the back of his head and thought for a while. He immediately said to Xuanyuan Lingling. "I heard... it seems that he was buried under a dead tree three miles west of the city by the enemy of Dalu."
"Well, thank you, the shopkeeper. We are so much trouble here. Don't be surprised and say goodbye."
Xuanyuan Lingling suddenly clasped his fists to everyone and said goodbye, and was about to turn around and leave.
The five heroes of Feng Lang each punched Xuanyuan Lingling and said, "The Protecting the Country Mage, walked slowly."
"It's late at night and it's cold. Why don't the Master of the Guardian take a break in the shop? I'll give you warm wine to the generals." Xie Ao hurriedly said.
"You are polite to buyer Xie. I have important things to do. When the army enters the city tomorrow morning, I will come to buyer Xie to ask for a cup of hot wine and drink."
Xuanyuan Lingling smiled slightly, declined Xie Ao's kindness, and then took a step towards the inn door.
"Goodbye to everyone."
The female generals clasped their fists to the six people in the hall and immediately followed Xuanyuan Lingling.
Xie Ao watched Xuanyuan Lingling and his group leave, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
Feng Lang and the five heroes sat back on their seats one after another. Seeing that there was not much left on the table, one of them took out a bag of money from his arms and shouted to Xie Ao: "Shopkeeper Xie. Come and fill in some more wine and food for me."
Xie Ao saw the purse on the table at a glance, and was immediately amused. He then smiled and said, "Okay, I'll prepare wine and food for everyone now."
...
Xuanyuan Lingling and his party came out of the inn gate, and the female generals lit the torches in their hands again.
Xuanyuan Lingling took the lead and strode towards the west gate.
"General, where are we going?"
A female general behind Xuanyuan Lingling couldn't help asking.
"Western city." Xuanyuan Lingling replied
...
Hechi Ancient Town, Liyuan Village.
A ray of sunshine in the early morning shines through the gap between the windows in front of the bed in the boudoir house.
On the bed, a beautiful girl in a goose yellow underwear was still sleeping.
Outside the boudoir house separated by a wall, a few birds were playing and chasing on the branches of an old pear tree.
The crisp chirping of birds came one after another, and the chirping and noisy chirping early in the morning made the morning very lively.
...
Just as a few birds were playing happily.
Suddenly, a bird covered with golden feathers fluttered its wings and soared.
The birds on the pear tree suddenly saw the little yellow bird, and were all shocked, and they were trembling as if they were facing a great enemy.
The lively chase game just now ended in an instant, and the birds fled in all directions.
The little yellow bird looked for a branch as thick as a finger on the pear tree, grabbed it firmly on the branch with both claws, and glanced at the bird that was fleeing around with disdain.
I immediately turned my eyes to the wooden windows of the boudoir, shaking my head from time to time and showing my cuteness.
...
"Hey... my sister is really stuck in bed. The sun is almost on the butt, why haven't she got up yet?"
The little yellow bird sang softly for a few times, and suddenly said.
"Who? Who is talking outside?"
A middle-aged man rushed out of the hut in the backyard.
He stood at the gate, looked around outside for a while, scratched his head, and then said to himself with a puzzled face: "I've really seen a ghost this morning. I heard someone talking just now, why can't I see anyone in the blink of an eye?"
"Sifan's father, where is he dead now? The firewood in the stove is almost extinguished."
The middle-aged man was confused, and suddenly the complaints of a middle-aged woman came from inside the house.
"Oh! Are you really old? Then you start to have auditory hallucinations?"
The middle-aged man shook his head with a wry smile, then turned around and walked into the house.
While shaking his head gently, he muttered from time to time, saying, "No, I'm not old yet. There was obviously someone outside the house just now."
Inside the house, a middle-aged woman was cutting a few vegetables on the cutting board.
The middle-aged woman looked up suddenly and saw the middle-aged man walking in slowly. She immediately said angrily: "Look at yourself, what kind of work are you doing? The fire in the stove is almost extinguished. Do you still eat breakfast?
I quickly added some firewood to the stove. Didn’t I see that I was busy?"
Seeing that the middle-aged man was still stunned, the middle-aged woman picked up a piece of vegetable on the chopping board and smashed it at the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man nodded in a hurry, kicked down his body, stuffed a few pieces of chopped dry wood into the stove pit, and then picked up a somewhat old bamboo tube beside him, put one end to his mouth, and the other end was slowly blown against the flame chips under the wood several times, and the flame chips instantly ignited the wood.
"Madam, the fire is ignited."
The middle-aged man wiped the sweat beads on his forehead, took a deep breath, and then placed the bamboo tube in his hand on the ground.
"Why haven't this lazy girl Sifan got up yet?"
The middle-aged woman poured the cut vegetables into a wooden basin and complained to the middle-aged man while washing the cut vegetables.
The middle-aged man suddenly stood up, patted the dust on his body, and then made a face at the middle-aged woman, smiling and said, "Madam, why don't I go and wake up this lazy girl?"
The middle-aged woman glared at the middle-aged man, and then said unhappily: "Sifan is growing up now. Is it appropriate for your father to knock on her door early in the morning?"
After hearing the middle-aged woman's words, the middle-aged man woke up and shook his head quickly. He said, "My wife is right."
"Stop talking, what did you do just now?" The middle-aged woman poured the washed vegetables into the pot and stir-fryed them.
The middle-aged man said softly, "Madam, are you surprised that this morning?
I clearly heard a girl talking outside our house, but when I ran out to see it, there was no one outside."
When the middle-aged woman heard this, she gave the middle-aged man a blank look and then scolded the middle-aged man: "I'm so unreasonable. Where did the girl's voice come from early in the morning? Why didn't I hear it?"
"Is it possible that there is something wrong with my ear?" The middle-aged man took out his ears, looking puzzled, and murmured to himself: "No, I'm not confused yet, right?"
"The room was so boring early in the morning. I'll go out for some breathing. You can make your own breakfast."
The middle-aged woman threw the shovel into the pot suddenly, and without even looking at the middle-aged man, she walked outside.
"Madam, hey..."
The middle-aged man sighed, then shook his head, threw a piece of wood into the stove pit, got up and picked up the spatula in the pot, and stir-fry the vegetables.
