Chapter 235: Black City Black Shop
Liu Mingge protected the four of them, traveling day and night, all the way to the east, and it took more than ten days to reach the border of Suizhou.
At this time, Suizhou was already an ownerless city and could not be controlled by the Wei army. The soldiers and horses sent by the Cui family had been transferred away a few months ago. There were no defenders or officials in the city. From outside the city, it was seen that the people were living and working in peace and contentment.
There are stalls selling things everywhere, especially those selling roasted meat and chicken which are very fragrant.
Liu Mingge originally wanted to rest outside the city and then leave, but he couldn't stand the three women and a child who wanted to go into the city to buy clothes and food.
The originally gorgeous and glamorous Concubine Gong'e had black spots on her face, her hair was stained with leaves and dead grass, and her clothes were already covered with a layer of black stuff. In addition, she hadn't taken a bath for many days. Huang Chunzhi tried her best to carry her with her.
Apply some spices, and the smell is particularly pungent.
Liu Fu'an was also attracted by the smell of steamed meat and roasted chicken in the city, and cried out that he was hungry and wanted to eat.
Liu Mingge couldn't resist them, so he had to go to the city with them to buy clothes and food.
Huang Chunzhi and Jinzhi Yinzhi sold off all their gold, silver, hairpins and jade pendants, changed a bunch of clothes, and bought a bunch of flatbreads, roasted chicken, and cooked meat for Liu Fu'an to eat while walking.
In order to comfort Liu Mingge, the three of them bought him two bottles of wine and four roast chickens.
Of course, Liu Mingge was not polite. He started eating and drinking with the roast chicken in his left hand and the wine bottle in his right hand. The three women rolled their eyes and begged Liu Mingge to stay and spend the night in an inn in the city.
Liu Mingge shook his head as he ate, "No, no, the situation in the city is unclear, so it's better to be careful."
After speaking, Liu Mingge subconsciously looked around the alley, and the three of them pouted and shouted, "There are no soldiers here, so what are you afraid of! Just one night!"
"I don't care, I want to take a shower!"
"I can't bear it anymore. I'll just stay one night and leave tomorrow morning! Leave as soon as the rooster crows!"
"I want to stay with Chun Niang, Master Liu, for one night, one night!"
Liu Fu'an called Liu Mingge Liu Dashen, and Liu Mingge chuckled, "You are quite good at looking at the direction of the wind. Good, good, good. According to you, remember not to go out at night! There is a problem in this city!"
Five people stayed in the hotel, Jinzhi Yinzhi took a room, Liu Mingge, Huang Chunzhi and Liu Fuan pretended to be a family and also asked for a room.
Liu Mingge sat cross-legged on the ground and meditated, squinting his eyes and quietly waiting for the four of them to fall asleep.
At the third watch, Liu Mingge quietly jumped out of the window and explored the city. As expected, five houses were brightly lit.
Liu Mingge quietly approached the first roof to take a look. This house was the Chen Mansion, the former residence of the Suizhou prefect. It should have been abandoned long ago, but at this moment, there were four bonfires set up in the yard.
The costumes of these people looked familiar to Liu Mingge, and after taking a closer look, it turned out that people from Zhongyi Hall were gathering here to carry weapons.
Liu Mingge went to the second house. People from Zhongyi Hall were counting grain, grass and medicinal materials. It seemed that they were preparing to use Suizhou as a base. However, the hundreds of people here looked familiar. Liu Mingge took a closer look and saw that he was there during the day.
People doing business all over the city.
The third house, Jishanyuan run by Zhongyi Hall, took in a group of orphans. Several leaders were telling these teenage orphans about the evil king who was in power and the traitorous ministers who were in chaos, etc. They also said that Daliang officers and soldiers had killed them.
Their families made them orphans and so on.
Next, the orphans were asked to express their gratitude to the Zhongyi Hall, kowtow and wipe their tears, etc. At the end, each person said "The Zhongyi Hall is mighty and saves the world!" and they would be given two large cakes, a piece of meat and a bowl.
Porridge.
After finishing the flatbread and meat, and finishing the porridge, we have to recite again, "Eat Zhongyi Hall's rice, hold Zhongyi Hall's bowl, and fight for the people of the world! Zhongyi Hall is mighty!"
The childish faces were full of confusion and unwarranted enthusiasm, and the children were competing to see who had the loudest voice.
willow
Mingge took a closer look at these people. The people who delivered cakes and porridge were the same people who sold cakes to Huang Chunzhi and others during the day. There were several children among them, and Liu Mingge gave them some money.
Liu Mingge didn't want to cause trouble, so he quietly went to the fourth house.
This house was exceptionally quiet. There were no people in the yard, but the ground was filled with something, and the smell was very strong.
When several people came out to lift things on the ground, Liu Mingge saw clearly that they were some people's thighs and arms.
Seeing how several people were carrying in a few more thighs, Liu Mingge took a long breath and lifted up the tiles on the roof to take a look.
Liu Mingge was shocked when he saw it. There were several large stoves and four chopping boards inside. Dozens of people had a clear division of labor, cutting meat and deboning, burning fur, and stirring sauces. These people actually turned human meat into beef.
The aroma of mutton.
No wonder they can feed their children meat every day. It turns out it’s human flesh.
The next scene that shocked Liu Mingge even more occurred. After these people processed the thighs and arms, they mixed the meat with sauce and roasted it on the stove and ate it on the spot.
Liu Mingge didn't feel sick at first, but swallowed his saliva. When he thought about Liu Fu'an and the three women eating the meat cakes they made during the day, Liu Mingge felt like vomiting.
Liu Mingge quickly left from the roof, regardless of whether he disturbed the people in the house.
Sure enough, there was something wrong here. After Liu Mingge sneaked back into the room, he found that Huang Chunzhi and the others were missing. The door of the room next to them was also open, and the golden branches and silver branches were also missing.
Cold sweat broke out on Liu Mingge's forehead. If Liu Fu'an and the others were made into meat pies, how could he have the face to meet the emperor and ministers of Daliang again?
The kidnapping was done right under Jian Kuang's nose, is there any way for the king to do anything?
However, the world has indeed lost its law for a long time. Liu Mingge knew that the place where the Zhongyi Hall people killed these passers-by must be the fifth house, so he ran there without hesitation.
When Liu Mingge arrived, four strong men were walking toward the yard carrying sacks one by one.
Liu Mingge jumped down and stabbed four people to death with his sword, then chopped off the ropes on the sack with his sword.
After untying the sacks, the four of them were unconscious. It turned out that they had been poisoned by the drug, so Liu Mingge had no choice but to carry them on his shoulders and jump into the abandoned house next to them.
Liu Mingge only felt that he had stepped on something under his feet. When he saw it through the moonlight, he found that it was a shapeless human head that had been chewed on, with a mutilated torso next to it.
Looking at the gap again, Liu Mingge immediately understood that the people in this yard were either wolves or dogs, fed on human flesh, and had ferocious temperaments.
Before he had time to think about it, a dozen guys with green light had already rushed out howling. Fortunately, Liu Mingge's giant sword grew, and a burst of red mist appeared under the moonlight, and all the dozen vicious dogs were chopped into pieces.
Two cuts.
The dog barked, and the people from Zhongyi Hall were definitely coming, but they would definitely not be able to get out with four people at this time. Liu Mingge gagged the four people with rags and tied them to the beams. He could only bet that he could survive at dawn
came back before
Liu Mingge cursed, "I have always forced others to choose, but today I am forced to take a gamble!"
Liu Mingge jumped up to the wall, where hundreds of torches were already surging. Liu Mingge ran over with his giant sword, sweeping across and killing dozens of people. The rest picked up stones and bricks and threw them at Liu Mingge.
There was a man hiding in the corner shouting, "Don't get close to him, don't fight with him, hit him! We still have reinforcements, and the crossbow will be brought in later, no matter how good his swordsmanship is, he won't be able to run away!"
Liu Mingge knew that the enemy was deliberately trying to scare him away, but at this time he could not allow him to retreat. Liu Mingge chopped down a few more people with his sword, then jumped up the wall and ran away.
Liu Mingge did not run far away, but hid on a large branch not far away and stared at the movement here.
The torches gradually dispersed, and there was fire in the yard where the evil dog was killed. Someone shouted, "Take the dog away, don't waste it, this is meat!"
"The people who died earlier will also be dragged over. I can't sleep tonight, so I have to finish it all night!"
Liu Mingge stuck the giant sword sideways on the tree trunk and sneaked over quietly. The people in Zhongyi Hall continued to deal with the previous corpses as if nothing had happened, pulling out plant ash and smearing it on the ground.
Liu Mingge was about to untie the four people and rescue them when he heard a dog barking not far away. The people in Zhongyi Hall were doing things much faster than the people in the court.
It was said earlier that a dozen dogs would be brought in, but within an hour, the dogs were brought.
Liu Mingge quickly entered the previous Guan Dog House and blocked the door from the inside with two wooden sticks.
Liu Mingge first carried Huang Chunzhi and Liu Fu'an under their arms, one on each side, over the wall and ran to an abandoned house half a mile to the east, and then came back to rescue Jinzhiyinzhi.
When Liu Mingge came back, the door had been opened, and more than a dozen dogs were barking at the beams.
The people in Zhongyi Hall suddenly realized that there was someone in the room.
Liu Mingge had no choice but to jump in from the broken tiles on the roof, forcefully rescue the two of them and run westward along the roof, at least to lure them westward and prevent them from finding Huang Chunzhi and Liu Fu'an again.
Liu Mingge ran for a while on the roof with the man in his hands, and finally got rid of the pursuer.
But at this time, Jinzhi Yinzhi still didn't wake up, and was still asleep.
Liu Mingge was a little tired at this time and took a deep breath. It was not an option to continue like this. It wouldn't take long for Zhongyi Hall to find their current location.
At this time, the crow started to cry loudly, and Liu Mingge suddenly remembered that he still had the elixir on him. At this time, he did not care about the preciousness of the elixir, so he took one, broke it in half, and fed it to the Jinzhi and Yinzhi sisters.
When the two sisters woke up, they hugged Liu Mingge and cried. It turned out that they were captured and drugged while they were awake, and so was Huang Chunzhi.
The reason why I cried was because the leaders of Zhongyi Hall were beasts, so they cried loudly.
Liu Mingge patted them, "In troubled times, it is best to live! Survive first! You two just climbed over the wall to the north. There is a Taoist temple there. You open the hole behind the Sanqing statue in the Taoist temple and go in. I will save the young prince.
they!"
Liu Mingge got up and went up to the roof again, running to the place where Huang Chunzhi and Liu Fu'an were previously placed. Fortunately, no one was chasing him this time, so he quickly carried the two of them on his shoulders to find the golden branches and silver branches.
When Liu Mingge and Jinzhi Yinzhi met again in the Taoist cave in the north, Huang Chunzhi finally woke up, and she was in pain after waking up.
After all, Huang Chunzhi thought differently from Sister Jinzhi. She immediately wiped her tears and said to Liu Mingge, "That's why we got to this point if we didn't listen to Mr.'s words. I think their skills are not bad. I'm afraid it will be difficult for Mr. to take us out."
! Why don't you, sir, take the young prince away and come back to avenge us in the future!"
Liu Mingge shook his head, "You can't do this. They don't know our identities. They just want to kill people and steal wealth!"
Then Liu Mingge told them everything he saw.
"In the daytime, if people from outside come in, we can go out! If they are found doing such inhumane things in broad daylight, the army will soon come to destroy them!"
Liu Mingge asked them not to talk about these things anymore. After returning to Yuzhang, he would not tell anyone.
Chapter completed!
