Chapter 27: One hundred and sixty-six human heads as a gift(1/2)
Chapter 27 Gift, one hundred and sixty-six heads
The starry night is dim,
It's snowing heavily!
The heavy snow in the sky seems to have covered the city with a layer of silver.
The white snow all over the ground exudes a faint luster under the moonlight.
In the silent night, there was suddenly a faint sound of footsteps.
In the darkness, Lin Mang walked step by step dragging a knife.
His left hand pulled a bunch of heads, dragging an endless trail of blood in the snow.
The faces on the man's head were already livid from the cold, and looked pale and grim.
His eyes were filled with endless fear.
"who?!"
The county soldiers patrolling the city wall noticed the figure in the distance and let out a loud shout.
Immediately afterwards, there was the sound of a powerful crossbow being loaded.
"The Hundred Households of Jinyiwei, Lin Mang!"
The plain voice seemed particularly cold in this icy and snowy environment.
Lin Mang's face was grim as he took out the token from his arms and threw it up.
The county soldier on the city wall took the order, confirmed it was correct, turned around quickly and said: "Quick, open the door!"
Although he was wondering why Xiaoqida from Baihusuo appeared outside the city at night, this kind of thing was obviously not something he should ask more about.
Although Jinyiwei is not their direct superior, no one in this city dares to easily provoke this Lord Xiaoqi.
The heavy city gate slowly opened.
A county soldier hurriedly walked over from one side, but as soon as he took two steps, his pupils suddenly shrank, and a trace of horror flashed in his eyes.
My heart seemed to be tightly grasped by someone.
My breath seems to have frozen at this moment!
Head!
Densely packed heads!
The ferocious-looking human heads were strung on the rope so casually, and many of the faces were worn beyond recognition.
Lin Mang tilted his head slightly, Gu Jing Wubo's eyes contained no emotion, and his voice was terrifyingly cold: "Is something wrong?"
"No, no...no!"
The county soldier couldn't help but shiver. Although he was wearing thick cotton clothes, he felt extremely cold all over his body at this moment.
Several county soldiers walked over behind him, with a hint of flattering smile on their faces.
They secretly cursed in their hearts that Wang Hu was so quick to flatter someone.
only,
Soon, the smiles on their faces froze and they could no longer say a word.
Lin Mang dragged the person's head and slowly walked toward the city, his figure gradually moving away.
After dozens of breaths passed, the last human head disappeared from everyone's eyes.
One person murmured: "One hundred and sixty-six..."
He even saw the head of the third master of the Tiandao Club in it.
The innate strong man who is famous for his sword skills!
At this moment, three figures walked out of the darkness again.
The burning flames on the torches illuminated the miserable faces.
One was lame, another was missing an arm, and the last one was blind in one eye and missing an ear.
But the imperial attire worn by the three of them was extremely conspicuous under the firelight.
On the backs of the three of them, there was a frozen corpse.
Wang Dasheng grinned at the county soldiers, carried the body on his back, and limped into the city.
Finally came back alive.
quiet……
Deadly quiet!
"Tonight... I'm afraid something is going to happen!" the county soldier murmured.
"Boss, what...what does this adult want to do?"
The county soldier holding a sword on his waist looked at the street in the distance and said quietly: "I'm afraid things are going to change."
…
Zhou family.
The Zhou family is very lively tonight.
The mansion was decorated with lanterns and colorful lanterns, and bright red lanterns were hung all over the place, creating a festive atmosphere.
Because just today, the old man of the Zhou family married a beautiful concubine.
Logically speaking, just marrying a concubine is far from such a big deal.
What's more, this is already the third concubine of Mr. Zhou's family.
But the Zhou family was particularly enthusiastic about this matter. They changed from their normal situation and took care of things in a big way.
Although the Zhou family is now being suppressed many times by the Jin Yiwei, all the prominent figures in the city still come.
Guests kept coming to the door of the mansion.
As long as the Zhou family does not fall, they will still be the uncrowned king in this city.
…
In the Zhou family ancestral temple,
Zhou Shijin turned the prayer beads, looked out the window and said with a smile: "It's really lively tonight."
Zhou Yuan nodded and said puzzledly: "Chief, I don't quite understand why those people were invited."
"Haha!" Zhou Shijin smiled and seemed to be in a good mood.
"Recently, all parties in the city are staring at our Zhou family. Which one of them doesn't want to see our Zhou family's jokes?"
"But don't they have to come obediently now?"
"The sky in Yuanjiang City cannot be overturned!"
Zhou Shijin put down the tea cup in his hand, stood up and said, "Let's go, follow me out to meet the guests."
"This old man really refuses to accept old age."
The two of them walked out of the ancestral temple and came to the courtyard outside.
At this moment, the courtyard was filled with banquets and guests.
Seeing Zhou Shijin walking out, everyone raised their hands and said, "I've met Clan Chief Zhou, Clan Chief Zhou, congratulations."
"Congratulations!"
Some people stood up and congratulated each other.
Zhou Shijin's face was full of joy and he said with a smile: "We are happy together! We are happy together!"
Outside the door, a doorman shouted loudly: "General Banner of the Imperial Guard, Master Tao is here! Presenting a pair of jade horses!"
Hearing this, everyone in the courtyard looked outside the door in surprise and confusion.
When did the Zhou family get in touch with the Jin Yiwei people?
They had heard everything that happened in the city during this period.
Everyone knew that Lin Xiaoqi from the Baihu Office was checking the Zhou family, so why did he get connected with a general manager in the blink of an eye?
Some people originally planned to terminate cooperation with the Zhou family, but after seeing this, they temporarily gave up their thoughts and decided to wait and see for the time being.
Zhou Shijin hurriedly greeted him, cupped his hands and said, "Welcome Mr. Tao Qi. If Mr. Tao Qi comes, my Zhou family will be very prosperous."
Tao Ning smiled and said, "Clan Chief Zhou is overly praised."
Zhou Shijin said quickly: "Come, Mr. Tao Qi, take your seat."
"Yeah." Tao Ning nodded slightly and walked to the chairperson's seat.
There is no simple person who can sit in this position. They are all well-known figures in the city.
