Go Home

Chapter 177: County

The two were very close, Lu Zhui unconsciously hid behind him and ordered: "Stand up straight before talking."

Xiao Lan replied: "I can't stand straight because my back hurts."

Seeing the slightly nasty smile on the face of the person in front of him, Lu Chai took a deep breath and suddenly flicked his feet and kicked.

"Hey!" Xiao Lan hurriedly avoided, and said in shock, "You murdered your relatives--"

"What am I murdering?" Lu Chai stood up and patted his sleeves.

Xiao Lan answered, "Murder relatives and friends."

"I just murdered you, how?" Lu Chai punched him in the chest, "Let's go, the wind and snow stopped, let's go to the county government."

"In what capacity?" Xiao Lan asked.

"Let's check it out first." Lu Chase took Dacloak and handed it to him, and curiously said, "By the way, I have never asked before, what is your position in the Da Chu army for a year?"

Xiao Lan said, "Guess."

"The military ranks from high to low, and there are more than ten ranks. How do I guess?" Lu Zhui said, "Little instructor?"

Xiao Lan smiled and shook his head: "It's not as good as this. I have no officials and no job. I haven't entered my name, and I don't even have a penny of payment."

"Bai is fighting the court?" Lu Chai circled him twice, suspiciously, "What's the reason?"

Xiao Lan sighed sadly: "The official career is not going well-hiss, I said, don't kick people."

Lu Zhui said, "Yeah." You said.

"The idler has the advantage of the idler." Xiao Lan said, "The ranks in the army are strict. If you really have one and a half positions, you have to report it to each other in the first place. Sometimes there are things that the military orders do not. The quasi-national law is not allowed, but it happens to be beneficial to the Chu army. It is up to me to do it, and the court can't control it."

"Since it is beneficial to the Chu army, why are the military orders and the national laws not allowed?" Lu Zhui continued to ask.

"The battlefield situation changes every day, and no one can list all the countermeasures in advance." Xiao Lan smiled again and lowered his voice. "And marching in war is sometimes more wicked than anyone else. This kind of thing can never make General He Zhengda. Bright led the army to do it, after all, there are other small countries watching, eh?"

"So you are the one responsible for wickedness?" Lu Chai put his hands on his shoulders, "Yes, Brother Xiao, promising."

"So in the northwest, you follow me, it's much more interesting than following General He." Xiao Lan adjusted his collar, "Let's go, go out."

The snow on the street has stopped, but it is still empty and uninhabited. Xiao Lan jumped onto the roof, looked around and pointed out: "Is there a county government there?"

Lu Chai nodded, holding his hand and flying forward, taking the snow-filled roof as a flat road, only a few leaps and moved, and he landed firmly on the long street in front of the county office. Two stone lions were lying prone on the ground in front of the vermilion gate, most of their bodies were covered by the wind and snow, with only one pair of eyes exposed.

Xiao Lan nodded: "Growth with light work."

Lu Zhui was funny: "Listen to your elder's tone, do you want to give me some rewards?"

"Okay." Xiao Lan said readily, "I will give you this evening."

Lu Zhui originally thought he could only give him a reward at night, but before he could say anything, his mind became active first, and those dreams that couldn't be described in detail flooded into his mind. Finally, he choked all the words back. Angrily jumped to the roof.

Xiao Lan followed closely, glanced at the expressions of the people around him, and changed the subject: "Since there is no official business, this Liu Zhixian should not be in the front office."

Lu Chai nodded and went to the backyard with him.

The Northwest is sparsely populated, and the Changfeng City is the same. Although the city is not small, there are not many people. On weekdays, there are not too many government officials to maintain order. Therefore, there are very few people in the county government. One of the reasons to do whatever you want.

The local official here is named Liu Yun. He was originally a clerk in the Northwest Army. He was later transferred to this Changfeng City to serve as the county magistrate. It has been more than ten years after careful calculation. On weekdays, he was diligent in guarding one of the cities, with neither great achievements nor great deeds. He was an ordinary little official to mediate disputes in courts. I thought that this would be the case for the rest of my life. Whoever thought it would be right, there would suddenly be ghosts in the city. At the beginning, he also thought about organizing a team to pull out the monster behind the chaos, but unexpectedly, the opponent was so fierce and evil. After several fights, not only did he hurt most of the servants, but the master is still alive and dead. . The invisible barrier is like a giant net falling from the sky, completely isolating Changfeng City from the outside world. He doesn't know what the other party's ultimate goal is, or how to resist it. He can only organize the young and middle-aged in the city to guard. In that Changfeng Inn, in the vast wind and snow, I have to survive every sunrise and sunset.

At this moment, he was sighing in the study, with a map in front of him, and a cup of thick tea on his hand. I don't know how long it was left, the heat was gone.

Lu Chai stood outside the window for about a cup of tea, and he sighed a dozen times after hearing less talk. Holding a cinnabar pen in his hand, Liu Yun drew a circle around the neighboring city of Changfeng City, but wiped it off one by one. The sadness under his eyes became deeper, he rubbed his face indiscriminately with his hand, and painted red everywhere. , Looks funny.

There were footsteps outside, and Xiao Lan took Lu Chai's waist and hid with him into the shelter. The gap was extremely narrow, and the two could only stand face to face, and their bodies were close to each other, not moving anything.

Lu Zhui looked at him and squeezed here to do something, why not go to the roof?

Xiao Lan made a silent gesture, pulled in the cloak that was exposed, and took the opportunity to hold the person tighter.

Lu Zhui: "..."

Then don't go to the roof.

Also become.

The visitor was a middle-aged woman, her face flushed with cold, and she was wearing a thick floral jacket and a headscarf to protect her from the cold, which is a common simple dress in this area. When she pushed the door in, she saw Liu Yun's face with cinnabar, first he was happy, then he sighed: "Master is still worried about the haunted thing? How can I make myself look like a slicked cat."

"Don't mention it." Liu Yun wiped his face with his sleeve. "I plan to organize a team to go to Guyangdu and ask Master Li to deploy some people."

"Gu Yangdu? That's far away from here." Madam Liu worried, "But Master...the evil spirits have said that no one is allowed to leave the city, and those who leave the city are dead."

Lu Zhui frowned slightly. He had guessed this before, but he didn't expect that the other party would brazenly tell the magistrate that those who left the city were dead.

"You die if you leave the city, and you die slowly if you don't leave the city. The people in this city are almost finished." Liu Yun shook his head. "I can't wait. I want to say what I want to say. Tomorrow morning, I will go to Changfeng Inn. Find Zhang in charge."

"Tomorrow's business, let's talk about it tomorrow." Seeing that he couldn't help him, Mrs. Liu put the bowl in her hand on the table, "I have stewed some pig's feet, you can eat it with peace of mind, and make up for your health."

Liu Yun frowned: "I am not—"

"You can eat it!" Madam Liu interrupted him, her voice raised a bit, "The officials can't eat meat? These three or two mouthfuls of trotter soup, if you don't eat it, you won't be able to feed a few more people, so let me go. nonsense!"

When the wife was fierce, Master Liu persuaded him and ate half of the bowl by himself, then gave the rest to her, and said with a smile: "The lady also eat, come, I'll feed you."

Listening to the conversation between the two in the room, Xiao Lan looked down at Lu Zhui-it sounds like Liu Zhixian is still alive, at least not in collusion with the evil spirit, why go first?

Lu Chai shook his head and chuckled softly, "I'm eating pig's feet. What are you going in now? Wait a second."

Xiao Lan said, "But we are here to discuss business matters."

When discussing business matters, you can't disturb other couples. This moment of warm solitude, no matter how bitter days are, there must be some sweetness. Lu Zhui still stood and refused to move, Xiao Lan didn't say any more, but pulled the big cloak up and covered him more tightly.

After a while, Mrs. Liu packed up the bowls and chopsticks and went out of the study. Liu Yun moved his muscles and bones, and the whole body was warm and comfortable, and he felt better. He just turned around and saw the map full of red circles, and soon he frowned again, lamenting constantly.

"Master Liu." Lu Chai said behind him.

Liu Yun was taken aback, turned around and said in a panic, "Who are you?"

"Don't be afraid of adults, we are here to help catch ghosts." Lu Chai explained.

"Catch ghosts?" Liu Yun picked up the broad knife on the table, still staring at him.

Young Master Mingyu's face and name are very useful in Wangcheng, but in this small northwestern town full of wind and sand, obviously few people can recognize it, so he turned his head to look at Xiao Lan and come here.

"My name is Xiao in Xia. This trip is to go back to the Northwest Chu Army Camp." Xiao Lan clasped his fists. "I was passing by Changfeng City. I heard that it was haunted here, so I wanted to meet an adult and see what happened. Maybe I can help. ."

"Northwestern Chu Army, are you a member of General He?" Liu Yun asked.

Xiao Lan nodded: "Exactly."

Liu Yun asked again: "Which position do you have?"

Lu Zhui rubbed his chin. Look at you. He didn't get a part-time job. It was embarrassing to say that others didn't believe him.

Xiao Lan said, "Old General Yang Qingfeng is my master."

Liu Yun still had some doubts. Lu Chai had to speak: "My lord, you are poor and haunted in this city. If we don't really want to help, why bother to catch this muddy water?"

"Who said that one is poor and the other is white." Liu Yun said coldly, "If you are in a group with that evil spirit, do you want to take the opportunity to capture all the people in this city?"

Lu Chai shook his head: "My lord, this is wrong. If I want to capture all the people in this Great Wind City, I don't need to devise anything at all."

Liu Yun asked: "What do you mean?"

Lu Chai pressed his palm against the bluestone inkstone on the table, and when he left, there was only a pile of gravel dust left.

...

Lu Chai patted the scum on his hands: "In just one night, I can tie the men, women and children in this city clean, why bother to come to this study in vain... Master Liu is bulging, trying to spit at me?"

Liu Yun's throat rolled.

"Then do you want to help? If we don't, we can leave." Lu Chai reminded him.

Liu Yun said, "If you really aren't bad guys, then you won't be able to get out of this fear."

"No." Lu Zhui shook his finger. "Your master can't leave. We want to leave but it's easy. Like the Xiao Daxia next to me, he can break into the enemy camp alone and kill Yelvxing. , And forced him to send Feisha Red Floodlight with both hands. How can a few evil spirits be stopped?"

Xiao Lan glanced at him. When did I have such great achievements?

Lu Zhui's expression was calm, bluffing, just blow it out, just stand up.
