The remnant king and poisonous concubine: this palace has a system

Chapter 563 Extra Story: First Encounter 1
When Chu Huang first came to the barren city of Baisha Town, it was the spring of March, and the warm sunlight fell on the road through the swaying leaves. The horse, holding a sword, walked easily on the road into the city. There were a few woodcutters and pedestrians around. They stopped to rest in the tea shed by the roadside.

"Young man, let's have a cup of tea. It's still far away to enter the city." An old man was sitting outside the tea shed, watching Chu Huang pass by alone, and greeted him warmly, "Here is tea, wine, and flowers. Cake, only a pretty girl is missing."

Listening to his teasing words, the people around laughed loudly, and the sound of clinking cups and bowls was very different from the life in the military camp. Chu Huang felt that it would be okay to drink a cup of tea and take a break, so he tied the horse. Into the tea shed.

"Come and sit, come and sit..." The old man who shouted just now was very enthusiastic, and quickly asked his companions to give up the seat to Chu Huang, "Young man, you look like you are from another place, are you here for business?"

The deserted city is small and remote, but it grows a lot of local products, so many merchants from outside often bring their goods and bring out the special products of the deserted city. A little curious.

"Well, no." Chu Huang replied very flatly. The proprietress of the tea shed poured him a cup of tea and served him a plate of flower cakes. Chu Huang didn't eat it, but poured a cup of water from his own kettle Come and drink.

"Young man, although this tea is not a famous tea, it is also a local camellia in our deserted city. Are you so disrespectful?" With a sword, could it be a swordsman who wants to come here to suppress bandits?"

After the old man finished speaking, he himself burst out laughing, obviously thinking that it was impossible, "The bandits outside the deserted city are brutal and vicious, you cannot deal with it alone, it is best not to have this idea, play in the deserted city for two days, hurry up Let's go back."

It was a kind reminder, but Chu Huang didn't respond, but just ate a piece of flower cake silently. The suppression of bandits is a military operation, and secrets cannot be revealed casually.

Chu Huang sat here for a while, and then continued on the road. The deserted city is ahead, and if you ride a horse, you can reach it in the evening.

When Chu Huang arrived in the deserted city, the setting sun was still hanging in the sky, and the bright wine flags covered the eyes of passers-by. The kite-flying children beside him had packed up their things and were ready to go home. He led the horse, found an inn, had dinner, and drank After drinking two cups, he came out to inquire about the bandits.

In the evening, the town was still filled with the scent of cosmetics. Chu Huang was walking along the river bank. Many businesses had already lit up the hexagonal lanterns at the entrances, and props were also placed on the stage. , and girls playing along the river, Baisha Town in the barren city of Baisha Town looks very peaceful, with no sign of bandit invasion at all.

Chu Huang boarded a small boat at the ferry. The old boatman supported the boat and sang songs, and led Chu Huang past the stage by the river. A singer on the stage was singing affectionately. In the stands, many spectators gathered.

Regarding this, Chu Huang just smiled, and took the opportunity to ask: "Boatman, has anything happened in Baisha Town recently?"

"It's okay, what's the matter?" The boatman hummed a song, smiling happily, and didn't take Chu Huang's words to heart.

Looking at the brightly lit surroundings, coupled with the lingering singing, it was indeed difficult for Chu Huang to connect this small town with the bandits outside the city. If the bandits didn't come to disturb the small town, then they would do nothing outside the city. What happened?
The boat swayed and came under the stone bridge, and at that moment when she raised her eyes, a woman in a water-green dress stepped up gracefully, lowered her head slightly and smiled at Chu Huang, the hairpin on her head was not inserted securely, from The bun slid down and fell into Chu Huang's hands.

The woman covered her mouth nervously, as if she was frightened, but after a while, she slightly raised the corners of her lips, and smiled at Chu Huang again. Chu Huang looked at her mouth opening and closing as if she was saying something to him, but what she said was very strange. Quietly, Chu Huang couldn't hear what she said clearly at a distance, but judging by the shape of her mouth, she definitely wasn't saying sorry or sorry.

The boat passed under the bridge, and when it reached the other side, the woman was no longer on the bridge, and the golden bird hairpin was stained with a faint smell of powder. Chu Huang thought about it, and put the golden bird hairpin in his sleeve Here, there is always a feeling that sooner or later we will meet again.

"That girl just now looks really good-looking, young man, you should jump up and return the hairpin to her, maybe you can find out which family she is from." Worry unnecessarily.

Chu Huang just laughed, stopped at the ferry, went ashore, and went back to the inn.

Bai Ze inquired about good news and came to discuss with him about attacking the cottage. Chu Huang stared at the defense map of the cottage brought back by Bai Ze, always feeling that something was wrong.

He agreed with Bai Ze to observe for a few days before making a decision. He read the art of war for a while and then took a rest.

In the next few days, Chu Huang wandered around Baisha Town, mainly to observe the state of the people in the town. Although Baisha Town is not a particularly big town, nor is it particularly prosperous, all the people here live and work in peace and contentment, and live a very happy life. happiness.

He was surprised that such a happy scene did not help his investigation at all, and even hindered him, because no one here seemed to care about the gang of bandits outside the city.

On the third day, he was standing at the south of the stone bridge, and there was an old man dipping fruit in the river, so he asked, "Old man, don't people here worry about bandits coming into the city from outside?"

"How come, those bandits have been dealt with long ago. A while ago, some officers and soldiers and a girl came and arrested them all. Where are there any bandits?" The old man stood up, arched his back, and said slowly Dragging a basket of fruit into the water again, "Young man, you are from other places, right? A few years ago, many swordsmen came to suppress bandits, trying to earn the reward from the court, but unfortunately they failed. It was a coincidence that you came. There is no need to die in vain."

Chu Huang pursed his lips and did not speak. He noticed that someone was watching him, so he thanked the old man, pretended to go back to the inn, and walked into a remote alley on the way.

The person following him suddenly revealed his figure and stopped him back and forth. Chu Huang looked back and forth, and someone shot a few darts at him from the roof. Chu Huang dodged to dodge, but a figure suddenly appeared in front of him. His eyes were wide open, and the girl in front of him chuckled and inserted a dagger into his abdomen.

"We meet again."

Feeling dizzy in front of his eyes, the figure in front of him overlapped with another person's face, Chu Huang felt as if he had seen her somewhere before, but he didn't have any impression.

People around took the opportunity to rush up, and in the shadow of swords and swords, he saw the woman laughing and jumping onto the roof, disappearing in front of his eyes.
