I have a weird dynasty

Chapter 319: Encounter at Ming Mansion (July Monthly Ticket 7 plus more)

In the second half of the night, Sang Que woke up Qiao Ling and Xia Chan. Xia Chan still wanted to sleep, so Sang Que stuffed her into the painting so that she could get enough sleep. The three horses were also temporarily put into the painting, and Sang Que carried Xuan Yu and Qiao Ling into the sedan chair to continue their journey.

From the direction they were going, it would be difficult to avoid Tangyuan County by riding horses. It would be more efficient and safer to travel at night using a sedan chair.

The five ghosts were carrying the sedan at lightning speed, but they encountered evil spirits on the way and all of them died at the hands of the red umbrella ghost leading the way.

It would have taken a whole day to reach Tangyuan County by horseback, but the sedan only took two hours, and they successfully went around the back of Tangyuan County.

Near Tangyuan County, Sangque heard the crying of many babies. She was very sensitive to this. Even from a distance, she could still feel that there were many babies who had died tragically in Tangyuan County.

Liu Tianyou once told her that on the night of the ghost disaster in Wangshan City, he and Hua Qianmian met a dwarf with clown paint on his face. He was surrounded by a group of infant spirits who liked to torture and kill children.

Maybe the one guarding Tangyuan County right now is the clown from the ghost theater troupe.

Thinking of this, Sang Que thought of Hua Qianmian. Liu Tianyou said that he lost consciousness first. At that time, Hua Qianmian already showed signs of losing control. No one could say whether he could survive.

The sky began to turn white, and the sedan chair entered the woods at the foot of Cuiyun Mountain. Sangque urged the Red Umbrella Ghost to speed up their journey, so that they could get out of Cuiyun Mountain before the sun came out.

The Ming Mansion has sunk into the hidden world, but in this world where ghosts and monsters are rampant, some things simply cannot be measured by common sense, and it is not surprising if any strange things happen.

At this moment, the sedan chair suddenly stopped, and Sang Que and Qiao Ling were almost thrown out.

After he was seated firmly again, Sang Que lifted the curtain of the sedan chair.

There was a hazy white fog outside, the sky and the earth were gray, and the scattered ashes fell silently like snow. Everywhere you looked, the sky and the earth were desolate, without any signs of life, except for spider webs under the fallen trees, hiding some tiny insects.

Qiao Ling was surprised and asked, "How did we suddenly enter the hidden world?"

Sang Que walked out of the sedan chair, looked around, and saw a fork in the road. He walked up the fork and saw the Ming Mansion, which he had not seen for a long time, right in front of him.

The house was surrounded by white ghost-bell flowers, swaying in the wind.

Qiao Ling followed closely and covered his mouth and nose, "Let's find a place to hide first. We can't stay in the hidden fog for too long."

Sang Que grabbed Qiao Ling who was about to enter Ming Mansion and said, "No, I can take you out."

She had a psychological trauma about the Ming Mansion. Even though she knew that the God of Destruction was no longer there and Ming Wanxi and Huilan might be inside, she didn't want to go in.

Sang Que pulled Qiao Ling back and was about to open a door to go out, but the tightly closed door of the Ming Mansion made a sound and opened by itself. Sang Que retreated faster and almost pulled Qiao Ling down.

But the door did not welcome Sang Que to come in. Instead, two people rushed out from inside and the door was then closed tightly.

The two men were covered with red water plants. When they raised their heads, their eyes met with the mulberry bird in the distance. Both of them showed a look of surprise.

"Sang Er!"

"Qin Liu!"

There was a piece missing from Qin Ze's head, with water plants surging inside, looking weird. The person he was supporting had blood flowing from his abdomen, with half of his intestines hanging out. He was seriously injured and had already fallen into a coma.

Sang Que hurriedly opened a door and asked Qin Ze to take the man and leave the hidden world with her first.

After I went out, it was just dawn outside. The green woods and the morning glow made me feel at ease.

Qiao Ling took a deep look at the door that Sang Que had opened. Without asking anything, she asked Qin Ze to quickly lay him down on the ground. Qiao Ling first looked at Qin Ze's head for a while, and seeing that Qin Ze's eyes were clear and there was no sign of him fainting, she ignored him. "Mulan, give me Xia Chan."

Sangque took the painting and released the summer cicada. He always felt that what Qiao Ling said was the same as "give me the bandage".

As soon as Xia Chan came out, Qiao Ling directed her to help with the stitching. She hadn't even finished eating the radish in her hand.

Qin Ze saw Qiao Ling's posture and knew that she was a professional. He didn't dare to disturb her and sat down against a tree to catch his breath.

"Is your head... okay?" Sang Que walked over and asked.

Qin Ze raised his hand and touched it. "It's okay. You will recover in a few days. I didn't expect you to be alive. Captain He will be very happy to see you."

"Where is he now?"

"It's in Dongyang County."

Sang Que was delighted, it seemed that they were not far away, so she asked Qin Ze again, "Why did you come out of Ming Mansion?"

Qin Ze frowned, feeling a little sad. He still treated Sang Que as his own and did not hide anything from her.

"Lao Shi, Qian Er and I were ordered to investigate the whereabouts of the Qianshou Army's food and grass. We fell into the trap set by the puppeteer of the Ghost Opera Troupe. There was no food and grass in the Black Mountain Village. Instead, the three of us were surrounded. Lao Shi... Lao Shi risked his life to protect Qian Er and me from escaping. I originally thought we couldn't escape."

"But Heishan Village was a bit strange. I saw an old woman standing next to a well in a family's yard. She looked at me and jumped into the well. I clearly remember that there was no well in the yard. The people behind us were chasing us closely and we were surrounded in front of us. I gritted my teeth and jumped into the well with the injured Qian Er."

"When I was in the water at the bottom of the well, I saw a woman dressed in white and a woman in a wedding dress. They pointed me in a direction and then disappeared. I swam a few dozen meters away and when I came up, I saw another wellhead and another yard. Then we came out of the yard and saw you."

Sang Que nodded. Because of the curse, the well in Shouhou's house in Heishan Village and the well in Ming Mansion were indeed connected in a sense. This could not be explained by science.

Ming Wanxi and Huilan still live in the Ming Mansion. It was their secret assistance that helped Qin Ze escape this time.

"Is there anyone else in Heishan Village?" Sangque asked.

Qin Ze shook his head. "It has been abandoned for a long time. It's really strange. There are wheel tracks on the road in the village, but where did the food and grass go?"

Sangque thought for a moment and said, "Have you ever seen an old locust tree?"

Qin Ze nodded.

"That old locust tree is a little special. Occasionally, there will be twists and turns around the tree that lead to the hidden world. The food and grass you are looking for is likely to be in the hidden world."

Qin Ze was stunned. "This is going to be difficult. If we were in the Hidden Realm, it would be difficult to move the food and grass with the Five Ghosts Moving Technique. Dongyang County is currently short of food and grass."

"I came from Sanchahe Pass. The garrison there has plenty of food and grass. Dongyang County is even closer to the route for transporting food and grass to Jinzhou. How could there be a shortage of food?"

Qin Ze sighed helplessly, "Don't you know who Captain He is? At this time, no place accepts civilians other than young and middle-aged people, including the Qianshou Army. The old, weak, women and children can only flee on their own or leave it to fate. Captain He took in all the old, weak, women and children who fled from several surrounding counties. Originally, the food and grass were enough to last until the reinforcements arrived next month, but now I'm afraid it will only last another three to five days before it reaches its limit."

Qiao Ling chuckled from behind, "That's something he would do."

Sangque stood up and looked to the east. "I'll help you transport the food!"

See you tomorrow~
