Chapter 288 The Strange Man in Black

Wang Ergou is very happy today, and even feels a little elated.

No matter who you change to, you will feel that it is a big profit to exchange two books that are not worth a few copper coins for two baskets of vegetables.

Today it was rare to earn some more copper coins, so Wang Ergou cheerfully sold a small pot of wine and cut a piece of meat.

The mother-in-law and children at home have not eaten meat for several days, and it is time to improve their lives today.

Wang Ergou walked towards the village, smiling and greeting everyone he met along the way.

When saying hello, he did not forget to raise the small pot of wine and a piece of meat in his hand high.

Seeing the envious looks on other people's faces, Wang Ergou was extremely proud.

It's not just the New Year or the festival, and no one in the ordinary family is willing to eat meat and drink alcohol.

Today he has wine and meat, so of course he has to show it off.

Showing off all the way, Wang Ergou soon came to the front of the house, and before he entered the yard, he shouted loudly: "Honey, come out and see what I bought?"

Wang Ergou laughed and walked into the yard, but he didn't see his wife coming out of the house.

He was a little puzzled, and walked into the house while calling his wife.

After entering the house, Wang Ergou first saw his wife curled up on the ground with the child in her arms.

His wife seemed to have been greatly frightened, and she seemed very mentally abnormal at this time.

Just when he was surprised and wanted to go over to check the situation, suddenly a man in black appeared and grabbed his collar!

"If you don't want to die, don't shout!"

Facing the mighty power of the man in black, Wang Ergou was so frightened that he trembled, not daring to make a single move.

The man in black took the jug and meat from Wang Ergou's hand with his other hand and put them on the table beside him, then pushed Wang Ergou towards his wife and children.

"I ask you to answer, if you say a wrong word, you will die!"

Wang Ergou hugged his wife and child, nodded desperately, not daring to resist.

The man in black asked, "Did you get a book?"

Wang Ergou asked tremblingly, "What book?"

The man in black said: "A strange book made of special material, impenetrable by fire and water!"

Wang Ergou shook his head and said, "I don't know, I really don't know!"

The man in black took a step forward, pressed Wang Ergou with an astonishing momentum, and said in a deep voice, "I've asked, that book is in your hands!"

"But I searched all over your house and couldn't find it. Did you bring it with you?"

Wang Ergou couldn't help thinking of those two scripts when he heard the words.

None of the three members of their family could read or write, so naturally there would be no such things as books at home.

If it is necessary to say that he has books in his hand, then there are only those two story books.

One storybook tells the story of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and the other storybook contains a few messy pictures, which he can't understand.

The man in black saw Wang Ergou remembering something, squatted down and asked, "Have you remembered?"

Wang Ergou nodded vigorously, and then said: "I have two scripts, today..."

Soon, Wang Ergou told the man in black what he had encountered in Shendu today.

The man in black was furious when he heard that Wang Ergou had given away the world's most wonderful books to others for two baskets of vegetables.

"Who is that person? What's his name? What does he look like?"

Wang Ergou replied: "I don't know him, it's the first time I met him today, but I know what he looks like."

The man in black took a deep look at Wang Ergou, pulled out the long sword from his waist and stuck it on the ground, then turned and went out.

The three members of Wang Ergou's family looked at the sword that was so close and shining with a cold light, and they didn't dare to move at all.

After a while, the man in black came back, but this time he had the Four Treasures of the Study in his hand.

"Tell me what that person looks like!"

……

Yangzhou City.

Since Xu Jingye's army withdrew from Yangzhou City, the people of Yangzhou breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as there is no large army in the city, naturally there will be no war, so they will naturally be safe.

As for whether they are willing to belong to Datang or Dazhou in their hearts.

It doesn't matter at all.

Although there was no war in Yangzhou City during this period, the continuous heavy rain some time ago, coupled with the sudden increase of nearly 200,000 troops, inevitably affected the environment of Yangzhou City.

After the army withdrew, most of Yangzhou City was in a mess.

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling are like two ordinary people, mixing in the crowd, helping the villagers rebuild Yangzhou City.

The two seem to have inexhaustible strength, and they do what others do.

Others are resting, they are still working.

And I don't eat more than others.

More importantly, they are willing to help others. No matter who has difficulties and asks, they will definitely lend a helping hand.

It was also because of this that in just a few days their reputation spread around, and they became good men praised by everyone.

While working, Kou Zhong smiled and said to Xu Ziling: "Do you know what my biggest discovery is during these few days of work?"

Xu Ziling asked curiously after hearing the words: "What discovery?"

Kou Zhong pointed to a man not far away, and said, "This guy has a bulging waist, he should have a lot of money."

Xu Ziling couldn't laugh or cry.

Do you think this is your biggest discovery?

Let you go back to basics, but don't let you do your old job!

Kou Zhong chuckled, and said, "It was quite itchy at first, but after thinking about it, forget it, it's too bad."

Xu Ziling said helplessly: "You still know how much you want, how much money do you want now, and you are still thinking about other people's purses?"

The two talked and laughed, but they didn't really take this matter to heart.

"People who don't know see you and think you are some kind of parent worker."

When Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were working hard, a voice suddenly rang in their ears.

When the two raised their heads, they saw Ruan Ruan in purple clothes standing aside, looking at them with strange eyes.

It has to be said that Ruan Ruan has never seen such an image of a celestial being.

Dressed in shabby cloth.

He was holding his trouser legs, his hands and legs were covered with mud, and his face was also black.

These seem to be two countrymen, and there is no way to connect them with Ssangyong.

As soon as Kou Zhong saw Ruan Ruan, he was overjoyed immediately, and quickly asked: "Did your master know that Ziling is back, and specially asked you to invite Ziling as a guest?"

Speaking of which, Kou Zhong winked at Xu Ziling.

Xu Ziling completely ignored Kou Zhong, and asked Ruan Ruan, "Did you come to find us on purpose?"

Ruan Ruan nodded and said, "I'm leaving, so I came to see you."

Xu Ziling heard the words and asked, "You won?"

They have been busy in Yangzhou city for the past few days, and have not paid attention to the war between the two sides.

So I don't know how the battle went.

Ruan Ruan replied: "It's not over yet, but I have other things to do."

"You may not know that my senior sister has already personally conquered and went to Chang'an City."

"If it wasn't for Yuan Tiangang's sudden appearance, Li Tang would have been wiped out long ago."

Yuan Tiangang?
Hearing this slightly unfamiliar name, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling looked at each other in blank dismay.

Seeing the confused faces of the two, Ruan Ruan explained: "Yuan Tiangang is a character who appeared after your journey to the west."

"He is the Imperial Teacher of the Tang Dynasty, the supervisor of the Huntian Overwatch Council, and the most mysterious commander of bad people in the Tang Dynasty."

"All in all, he is a very powerful person, a strange man."

Hearing Ruan Ruan's explanation, Kou Zhong nodded lightly and said, "It's not surprising that there have been one or two strange people in the years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty."

Ruan Ruan continued: "Now this person has set up a large formation, causing the entire Chang'an City to disappear. My senior sister is confronting him, and I am going to help her now."

Both Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were a little surprised.

A large formation that can make the entire city of Chang'an disappear?

The methods of this strange man and stranger are so strange to this extent?
"Go and see?"

Kou Zhong suddenly became interested.

Such a large formation must be very magical, you must go to see it.

Xu Ziling thought for a while and said, "Go and see!"

The reconstruction of Yangzhou City cannot be completed overnight.

It is not too late for them to go to see the strange formation first, and then come back and continue to help the villagers rebuild Yangzhou City.

Seeing that Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were going north, Ruan Ruan immediately asked, "Why don't we go together?"

Facing Ruan Ruan's invitation, Kou Zhong asked curiously, "Why are you so enthusiastic about us?"

Ruan Ruan gave Kou Zhong a white look, and said, "You can go on the road alone."

After speaking, Ruan Ruan turned her gaze to Xu Ziling.

Kou Zhong: "..."

After a long time, he is just a foil!

……

Drunk Xianju.

Lu Yan welcomed a very special guest today.

Min Er.

It's not like Lu Yan didn't see allergies before.

The reason why Min'er is a very special guest is because Min'er also brought a purple suit with her when she came.

"Mr. Lu, His Majesty has an order to invite you to Chang'an City."

"This is the official uniform and accessories that His Majesty prepared for you."

Lu Yan glanced at the official uniform and various accessories that showed his status, then turned his head to look at Min'er.

"Wu Zhao, what does this mean?"

Min'er replied: "Your Majesty will launch a general attack on Chang'an City in three days to end this war, so I want to invite Mr. Lu to watch the battle."

"When the city of Chang'an is broken and the Li family is destroyed, His Majesty hopes that Mr. Lu can wear this robe to congratulate."

Lu Yan laughed when he heard this.

It has to be said that Wu Zhao is really confident.

But since Wu Zhao kindly invited him, he had no reason to refuse.

So he said to Min'er: "I see, when are we leaving?"

Min'er replied: "Everything depends on the arrangement of the master."

Lu Yan nodded and said, "I'll go back and get ready, and then I'll go."

Min'er was waiting in the lobby, while Lu Yan went to the backyard.

Xie Zhuoyan has been practicing for the past few days, he was worried and left like this, he had to make some arrangements.

Inspired by Yuan Tiangang, he has been researching about formations recently.

Although I haven't figured out a very powerful formation.

But at least some results.

Immediately, Lu Yan arranged the things he had researched in the past few days in the backyard.

After he was fully prepared, he taught Xie Zhuoyan how to manipulate the formation, and then left with peace of mind.

There were only Lu Yan and Min'er on this road, so they traveled very fast.

Under normal circumstances, you can arrive in Chang'an City before tomorrow afternoon.

On the way to Chang'an City, Lu Yan had been observing Min'er.

Min'er looked only thirteen or fourteen years old, and her appearance was still very immature, but her face was very cold.

He looks like a little adult, mature, stable, and capable.

A very contradictory feeling.

Min'er turned her head to look at Lu Yan, and asked, "Why does Mr. Lu keep staring at me?"

"If Mr. Lu likes me, he can ask His Majesty, and His Majesty will definitely not refuse."

"When Mr. Lu accepts me as his concubine, he can not only watch, but also do other things."

When Lu Yan heard what Min'er said, he couldn't understand it and was shocked at the same time.

It seems that Min'er is not only mature on the outside, but also very mature on the inside, more mature than he imagined!

"You misunderstood, I'm not interested in children."

Lu Yan first explained his preferences, he really didn't want to be regarded as a pervert.

Min'er asked, "Then why does Mr. Lu keep staring at me?"

Lu Yan replied, "Because you don't look like a thirteen or fourteen-year-old kid, you're too mature."

Min'er smiled faintly and said, "No matter who is in my position, they will become very mature."

"Because immature people have been eliminated."

What Min'er said was very relaxed and casual, but Lu Yan could hear the extremely cruel and bloody meaning from it.

If a person wants to stay by Wu Zhao's side and gain Wu Zhao's trust and reuse, it is indeed not an easy task.

It must be very difficult for Min'er to be able to do this at the age of thirteen or fourteen.

While the two were talking, a man in black walked up to him.

The man in black had a long sword on his waist, his face was covered with a black scarf, and his exposed eyes were extremely sharp, as if there was a sword shining in them.

Lu Yan looked at the man in black and looked him up and down.

At the same time, the man in black was also looking at Lu Yan. Facing Lu Yan's scrutinizing gaze, although he felt a little uncomfortable, he didn't want to cause trouble.

After passing by the man in black, Lu Yan looked back at the man in black again, with a strange look on his face.

Seeing that Lu Yan was very curious about the man in black, Min'er asked, "Do you need me to help you investigate him?"

In fact, it wasn't just Lu Yan who was curious about the man in black, Min'er was also very curious about the man in black.

She will send an order to Shendu to ask Shendu to investigate the origin of the man in black as soon as possible.

Lu Yan shook his head when he heard the words, and said, "There is no need to investigate, I know his origin, he used to be a disciple of Chunyang Palace."

Min'er was a little surprised, and couldn't help but glance back at the man in black.

Lu Yan explained: "I have learned some sword techniques of Chunyang Palace, so I am familiar with the sword intent born from the sword techniques of Chunyang Palace."

"The sword intent on this man in black is very strange. It was born out of the Pure Yang Palace, and it contains new changes."

"Presumably he used to be a disciple of Chunyang Palace, but later he left Chunyang Palace and went to other places to study, that's why he developed the strange sword intent he has today."

Hearing Lu Yan's explanation, Min'er asked thoughtfully, "Then what is the change in his sword intent?"

Lu Yan smiled and said, "It's kind of like Dongying, but that's about it."

Here, Lu Yan and Min'er were talking and heading towards Chang'an City.

The face of the man in black on the other side became more and more gloomy.

He has excellent hearing and can clearly hear other people's conversations from a long distance.

At this time, there was not much noise on the avenue, so he could clearly hear the conversation between Lu Yan and Min'er.

He really didn't expect that Lu Yan could see so many things after he just had a face-to-face meeting with Lu Yan!
And every point is extremely accurate!

"Who is this? How can it be so scary?"

The man in black couldn't help but look back at Lu Yan who had gone away.

Then he saw Lu Yan raised his hand and was waving at him.

The pupils of the man in black suddenly shrank!
"He actually knew I was eavesdropping!"

"Mr. Lu? Who the hell is he!"

At this moment, the man in black was extremely terrified, and even had the urge to turn around and leave.

This is the first time since he became a celestial being, fear has appeared in his heart!

"Find the "Secret of Longevity" and leave here immediately, the farther you go, the better!"

The man in black has made a decision, he wants to leave Shendu as soon as possible and stay away from Lu Yan!

……

In Lu Yan's perception, the man in black was walking towards the capital of God.

After the man in black went out of the range where he could mobilize the power of heaven and earth, he lost his perception of the man in black.

"It seems that I have said everything just now, but I just don't know who this person is."

"Maybe Yu Rui will know his identity, and when I see Yu Rui again, I can ask her."

Just when Lu Yan thought of Yu Rui, Yu Rui was following her seniors on the way to Chang'an City.

Now that the danger in Yangzhou has been lifted, Xu Jingye's army and Qiu Shenji's army are confronting each other, and there is no movement for the time being.

After they heard what happened in Chang'an City, they had the same idea as Ssangyong, and wanted to see Yuan Tiangang's formation.

Chunyang Palace is also famous for its formations.

But even their master Chun Yangzi may not have the ability to cover up the huge Chang'an city.

But Yuan Tiangang did it.

Doesn't this mean that Yuan Tiangang is far better than their Chunyang Palace in terms of formation?

"Second Senior Brother, have you met Yuan Tiangang?"

Yu Rui looked at her second senior brother, Li Wangsheng, and asked curiously.

Li Wangsheng shook his head and said: "I haven't met Yuan Tiangang, but I have heard of his name before. He is a genius that even the master will praise."

Hearing Li Wangsheng's answer, Yu Rui asked again: "Is he better than Master?"

Li Wangsheng replied: "In terms of martial arts, Yuan Tiangang is not very good, but in terms of thaumaturgy, he is second to none, and Master is no exception."

Hearing this, Yu Rui sighed and said: "The world is in chaos, these old monsters can't help but jump out."

As he spoke, Yu Rui thought of Lu Yan again.

If Yuan Tiangang is an old monster, then Lu Yan should be considered a young monster or a middle-aged monster.

I don't know how Lu Yan would feel after hearing Yuan Tiangang's name.

Maybe like them, they also want to go to Chang'an City to join in the fun?
