Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 506 Nocturnal Swimming (4200)

God damn "Three smiles show mercy"...

Wu Liang seriously suspected that Prince Chamu was also a time traveler, and he had seen Zhou Xingxing's version of "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance". If not, this guy might have picked up the wrong script.

But think carefully.

The identities, methods, and purposes he and Prince Chamu used to enter Zhen's Mansion, as well as their encounters after entering Zhen's Mansion, do have a lot of similarities with "Tang Bohu Spotting Autumn Fragrance", but it's hard to say whether Zhen Mi is Qiuxiang .

"How can she show me three smiles?"

Wu Liang rolled his eyes and said.

"The first time was when we received the food relief, the second time was when we were taken in as servants by Zhen Yan, and the third time, of course, was when we called you into the study alone just now."

Prince Chamu listed it for Wu Liang with his fingers, and then said in a very puzzled way, "But I still can't figure out why the young lady just fell in love with you. If you only look at it from the outside, you don't look like that There are not many outstanding points, and it is not eye-catching in the crowd."

"The first two times you saw her laugh at me?"

Wu Liang ignored what Prince Chamu said later, and asked with a frown.

The third time he did see Zhen Mi smiling, but in order to avoid unnecessary attention and trouble in the first two times, he didn't pay much attention to Zhen Mi, so he didn't know that Zhen Mi smiled at him at that time .

"That's still fake. I can see it clearly. At that time, my heart was full of joy, but in the end she was smiling at you."

Prince Chamu suddenly cried in mourning, beating his chest and stomping his feet.

"in this case……"

Wu Liang is now more and more sure that it was Zhen Mi's intention for him and Prince Chamu to enter Zhen's mansion, and since then, he has attracted Zhen Mi's attention and become her target.

In addition, he became more and more suspicious that Zhen Mi had the same "yin and yang eyes" as Prince Chamu.

If not, Zhen Mi would not be able to immediately see the distinctive features of Wu Liang after such a short contact, let alone react in time, please enter the urn.

escape?
or stay?
this is a problem.

However, what Wu Liang is thinking about now is not how to escape. Zhen Mi's series of abnormal actions and words have successfully aroused Wu Liang's curiosity. I still want to find out more about Zhen Mi's real purpose, and I always feel that there is a huge secret hidden in it, and Zhen Mi is actively presenting it to him in her own unique way.

……

So back to the residence in the backyard.

The common bunks in the house were already full of servants. When the head servants brought Wu Liang and Prince Chamu to settle in the residence, these servants were working outside or following the master's errands. Now it was almost dinner time, and they I finally got a short-term relief, and I can come back and lie down for a while or sit for a while to rest my feet.

The head servant first gave a brief introduction to Wu Liang and Prince Chamu.

These domestic servants were not very interested in the two of them. They greeted them perfunctorily and then continued to do their own things. Wu Liang was so happy. Anyway, he was just a passerby. Leaving immediately, there is indeed no need to interact with the servants here.

It's best to be like this now, as long as everyone gets along with each other, you don't interfere with me, and I ignore you, so as to save a lot of unnecessary troubles in interpersonal communication.

As for the environment.

Prince Chamu, who has been pampered since childhood, may feel a little bit dissatisfied.

But Wu Liang didn't feel anything. In the past year, he led the Huren army to travel north and south. He had never seen any kind of harsh environment, and had never slept in any place. The smell of sweat condensed, and there must be people snoring when sleeping at night, but no matter how you say it, it is still a place that can shelter from the wind and rain, and it will pass after a bit of patience.

The result was beyond Wu Liang's expectation.

Prince Chamu's ability to adapt is much stronger than he imagined. As long as he lay on the bed and closed his eyes to meditate, this guy has already mixed with those servants, and even started to call him brothers.

"Brother Yutian, is what you said true? Are there really sandstorms in the Western Regions that can eat people without spitting out their bones?"

"Not only people, but also camels were involved in the sandstorm, and no one was alive or dead. I once had a friend who was accidentally involved in the sandstorm. After the sandstorm subsided, his family After searching in the desert for three months, I still haven't found the body, only the clothes that have been torn to pieces!"

"Brother Yutian, I heard that there are not only hot winds but also evil spirits in the desert. Is it true?"

"Nature is also true, and there are all kinds of evil spirits. Some evil spirits will turn into beauties to lure you, and drag you into the quicksand, and you will never be reborn forever; Tall, the closer you get to him, the smaller he becomes. When you meet him, you won’t run, or if you don’t run, you will be frightened to death. Some evil spirits will turn into a city. When you see the city, you think This city is not far away, as long as you reach the city, you will have fresh water and food, but in fact, you will never be able to reach this city. If you insist on going, you will only go deeper and deeper into the desert, and eventually die of starvation, thirst or exhaustion in the desert. In the desert, become a member of those evil spirits."

"It's really scary. The Western Regions are really not a place for people to stay. Those who dare to go there are all desperadoes."

"It's better for us in the Central Plains. Even if there is a war going on outside, it's better than going to the Western Regions. Especially when we work as domestic servants in the Zhen family, at least we don't have to worry about eating and drinking, and sometimes we can spare a little money to eat and drink."

"Brother Yutian, it's really not easy for you to survive in that kind of place..."

"..."

The images of many Chamu princes are more in the style of the Western Regions, and they are more convincing when talking about the affairs of the Western Regions, and the servants are also a little curious, so they gather around him one by one. Some questions or admiration.

However, what Prince Chamu said is not all nonsense. Although some phenomena in it have been concretized into ghosts, they are actually strange phenomena that only exist in the desert. It is rare for people living in the Central Plains to see them in their lifetime back.

Wu Liang knew that Prince Chamu had a social overwhelm, so it was not surprising that he could mingle with these servants.

And this is not necessarily a bad thing, as long as Prince Chamu can grasp the propriety, maybe he can learn some news from these servants that Yang Wanli can't get from outsiders.

Therefore, Wu Liang did not stop him, but turned over and continued to rest with his eyes closed.

So when it was time for dinner, the help chef directly carried the vat and cauldron full of soup cakes into the backyard, and the iron pot was knocked "clang, clang, clang", and the "symposium" came to an abrupt end.

Just the time Wu Liang turned over, the room was empty, and some people even left their straw sandals beside the bunk and ran out barefoot.

When Wu Liang walked out the door.

Prince Chamu was already happily returning with two big pottery bowls, which contained hot porridge, which was just right, neither thick nor runny.

"Brother Liu Neng, I'll snatch a bowl back for you. Next time you can order it neatly. This group of people are like hungry wolves. If you don't snatch it, you might not be able to eat it."

Prince Chamu smiled quite complacently while handing a big pottery bowl to Wu Liang.

After speaking, he actually took out four corn cakes from his pocket, stuffed two of them into Wu Liang's hands, and said, "There are still these cakes, thanks to my quick eyesight and quick hands, and the help of a few brothers I just met here, otherwise There is not one left in the time to turn around."

"I'll just lie down for a while, you already have brothers?"

Wu Liang immediately looked at Prince Chamu with admiration. This guy's social arrogance used to be quite annoying, but when he came to this kind of place, he didn't get used to it at all. He was like a fish in water, okay?
Wu Liang even suspected that if this guy was asked to stay here for a month, he would become the boss of these servants.

"Hey, they think that I am well-informed and have traveled in the Western Regions. They expect that I have extraordinary abilities and will be reused by the head of the family in time, so they take the initiative to make friends with me."

Prince Chamu laughed, but then he dragged Wu Liang to an empty corner of the yard and squatted down. While sucking the hot porridge in the bowl, he used this as a cover to lower his voice and said, "I just talked with these family members. When the servant was talking, I heard them talking about Zhen Mi... They said that when Zhen Mi was young, she had a problem with nocturnal wandering. She would walk out of the room and wander in the yard, and when she asked her the next day, she couldn't remember anything. That's why, before Zhen Mi was ten years old, except for the maid who served in the room, there was nothing in her room. A brass lock should be added on the outside of the door so that she cannot open it from the inside, lest something go wrong when she comes out of her sleep. However, they also said that Zhen Mi's nocturnal sickness seems to have recovered in recent years, so she has already recovered. There is no need for a maid to attend the bed, and the copper lock outside the door has also been removed, and it has been a long time since they heard any movement from Zhen Mi's room when they were watching the night."

"Nocturnal sickness?"

Wu Liang also took a sip of the hot porridge.

This disease also occurs in later generations, and there are many people who are more serious than Zhen Mi. As far as he knows, this kind of disease does happen to children, and generally the symptoms can gradually disappear with age.

Therefore, Zhen Mi's night tour and falling ill can be considered to be in line with Wu Liang's cognition.

However, he still had reservations about this conclusion, after all, she was Zhen Mi, and she had already had many legends of Zhen Mi when she was young.

"Anything else?"

Wu Liang asked again.

"Oh, by the way, they also said that Zhen Mi is a hard-fated person. Actually, it can't be regarded as what they said. I heard that it was said by an old man who is proficient in physiognomy. The old man was invited to come to the house to look for the children of the Zhen family. , but he looked around and no one commented, he just pointed to Zhen Mi and said: 'This woman is so precious'."

Prince Chamu went on to say, "Later, rumors spread in the mansion that Zhen Mi's fate was hard. Some even said that Zhen Mi's father and eldest brother died early because their mortal bodies could not bear the noble spirit of Zhen Mi. Since then, there has been a saying that Zhen Mi's fate is hard to restrain, saying that no one in the world can hinder her, and she is the only one who hinders others."

"Anything else?"

Wu Liang frowned slightly. Yang Wanli hadn't inquired about this news before, and he didn't doubt Yang Wanli's ability to inquire about the news. In other words, this kind of rumor might not have spread to the Zhen family, and it was the Zhen family who were chewing each other's tongues?

This possibility is not impossible.

There are four older sisters above Zhen Mi, and his elder brother should also be married, so he must have several sisters-in-law, and Zhen Mi's status in the Zhen family is detached, so it is not impossible to suffer from the jealousy of these people, so some people gossip .

But at the same time.

Wu Liang couldn't help thinking of Zhen Mi's two husbands in history.

The first one was Yuan Shao's son Yuan Xi. The Battle of Guandu broke out within a few years of his marriage, and then he was displaced. Finally, he was killed by Gongsun Kang, the prefect of Liaodong at a young age, and his head was dedicated to Cao Cao.

The second is Cao Cao's son, Cao Pi. After fighting for so long before, he died only six years after becoming emperor at the age of 39.

Plus Zhen Mi's father and elder brother who died early...

Wu Liang actually began to wonder if Zhen Mi's life was really hard, otherwise the situation of these people would be too coincidental, right?
Thinking of these things, Wu Liang said to Prince Chamu: "Next, you don't have to make too much effort to inquire. You just need to knock on the sidelines. If you hear any useful information, tell me in time."

"Don't worry, brother Liu Neng, I'm smart."

Prince Chamu patted his chest and smiled contentedly.

……

After dinner, I went back to lie down for a while, and before I knew it, it was Haishi.

"Get up, it's time for us to go watch the night!"

The head servant came over on time and patted Wu Liang and Prince Chamu, and brought three other people, a total of six people wrapped up their clothes, lit two torches and left the house.

Although the night in late autumn has not yet frozen, the temperature is already low enough.

The six shivered and leaned together, patrolling the Zhen residence along the route they had traveled during the day.

Because of the cold, everyone always walked very fast, and they all just wanted to go back and drink a bowl of hot water after the inspection as soon as possible, and then lie down in the bed that has not yet dissipated the residual heat to warm their bodies.

In such a short time, they had already inspected most of Zhen's residence, and then came to the small courtyard where Zhen Mi lived.

"This wild bird, which has suffered a thousand knives, was only cleaned by Liu Neng a few hours ago, and somehow it fell into the puddle again."

Not long after entering the courtyard, the head servant pointed to the bird droppings on the stone table and cursed, "Liu Neng, I will leave you a torch, you can clean up the year here first, and the rest of you will continue to patrol with me, so After we finish patrolling, you will finish cleaning, and we will not suffer from the cold when we go back together."

"promise."

Wu Liang nodded.

"Hurry up, we'll be back in the blink of an eye, don't blame us for not waiting for you."

After saying this, the head servant took Prince Chamu and the others out of the yard to inspect other places.

Wu Liang looked at the pool of bird droppings, but there was no one in his hand, so he picked up a few fallen leaves from the ground, and got some water in a jar under the eaves to wash.

Just at this time.

"hou ren xi——yi~~~"

Suddenly, an ethereal and melodious female voice came from a room not far away.

"?!"

Wu Liang was startled by the sudden sound.

Although this crooning is not unpleasant, it can even be called pleasing to the ear, and the tone is very beautiful, but at this moment, under the circumstances, such a voice suddenly appeared, it is exactly the same as the soundtrack of horror movies in later generations. It is impossible for the heart to be without fluctuations.
