Nightmare Attack

"No one is there?" The fat man leaned against the crack of the door and looked inside. Because the doors and windows were closed, the room was relatively dark, and he could only see some vague outlines. "This shopkeeper Qian ran really fast.

After missing it, the two were about to leave when a man hurriedly ran up behind them. The man had a rag on his shoulder and a cloth bag in his hand. Without even looking at Jiang Cheng and the two of them, he raised his hand and knocked on the door of the antique shop. Door.

There was a loud knock on the door, but there was still no sound inside. The fat man kindly told him: "Brother, please stop knocking, shopkeeper Qian is not here."

"Not here?" The man dressed like a clerk scratched his greasy hair and blinked with confusion, "No, I just saw shopkeeper Qian. He ordered a large amount of food from our shopkeeper. He said After I finished it, I sent it to him, but why...why did he disappear in the blink of an eye? "

"Eat?"

"That's right." The clerk opened the bag naturally and showed it to Fatty Jiangcheng. The bag was filled with food, including steamed buns, grilled naan, and a large piece of sticky cake wrapped in lotus leaves. It must be a normal meal. He didn't need so much, and besides, there were only staple foods and no vegetables here. Jiang Cheng thought that shopkeeper Qian had prepared these for the road. He planned to run away and leave Luo'an City.

Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng smiled and motioned to the clerk to leave the things behind. "Shopkeeper Qian is out for the time being, and I'm here to see him. You put the things here with me, and I'll hand them over to him for you when he comes back."

"You?" The man was a little doubtful, "Who are you?"

"I'm a friend of Shopkeeper Qian. Shopkeeper Qian invited me here."

Most of the waiters in the waiting room have learned how to recognize people. The waiter looked up and down in Jiangcheng. Although the other person was dressed strangely, his light and airy demeanor was as good as that of the young masters from the big clans in the city. In this way There is absolutely no reason for people to lie to such a small person like him.

"Then please leave it to this young man." The waiter said very politely to Jiang Cheng, then handed a large bag of food to the fat man and told him: "Remember, don't put the food on the ground. Shopkeeper Qian is a decent man."

The fat man realized after taking the food. It seemed that the other party regarded him as the doctor's follower. The doctor was the son of a wealthy family, and he was the lackey around him. However, the fat man could not find any reason to be dissatisfied. After all, he was indeed like this. I came here holding the doctor's lap all the way.

After watching the guy go away, Jiang Cheng took Fatty around and finally came to the back door of the antique shop. Behind it was an inconspicuous alley, separated by a dilapidated wall. Jiang Cheng saw no one around. He jumped up, grabbed the edge of the wall with his hands, and climbed in a few times.

The fat man was carrying a large bag of food, and his movements were no more sluggish than Jiang Cheng's. After landing, he looked around. There was a yard inside, which was not big, but the layout was messy. The back door was ajar and unlocked. Jiang Cheng and the fat man sneaked in quietly, and there was After walking a few steps, I saw a sneaky figure hiding behind the main door, deliberately lowering his body, sticking his butt out, and looking out through the gap.

Who else could it be if he wasn't Shopkeeper Qian?

Jiang Cheng thought it was funny, so he quietly walked up behind Shopkeeper Qian, stretched out his hand and gently patted Shopkeeper Qian on the shoulder, which frightened Shopkeeper Qian so much that he jumped up on the spot.

"Shopkeeper Qian, are you checking to see if we're leaving?" Jiang Cheng asked with his signature expression, a smile on his face but not a smile on his face.

Seeing Jiang Cheng suddenly appear in front of him, Shopkeeper Qian's fleshy face was all tangled up, but even so, he still had the courage to cheer himself up, "You...how did you get in?"

"Let me tell you, if you dare to mess around, I will... I will call someone!" Shopkeeper Qian leaned against the door, his whole body shivering, a big cold sweat dripping down his forehead, you can imagine the feeling in his heart Nervously, "There are officers and soldiers on the street outside!"

"You scream, even if your throat is broken, no one will pay attention to you!"

The fat man twitched his mouth and suddenly said this. In an instant, shopkeeper Qian looked at the fat man with something wrong. It seemed that this person was more terrifying than Jiang Cheng.

But Jiang Cheng heard something hidden in Shopkeeper Qian’s words. The information he instilled in Shopkeeper Qian was that they came from the Hou Mansion, and Zhennan Hou Mansion was the sky of Luo’an City. To use the army to scare the people of Zhennan Hou Mansion, right? Overestimating your capabilities?

Seeing that the leader Jiang Cheng hesitated, shopkeeper Qian, who was originally very frightened, seemed to have grasped the opponent's handle and threatened fiercely: "How is it? You know you are afraid, right? You remnants of the previous dynasty, we don't offend the river, you go your own way. Yang Guandao, I am crossing my single-plank bridge. No one is allowed to mention the past. I will treat it as if it never happened. "

Fatty was confused by these words. He didn't understand how the shopkeeper Qian could suddenly involve them with the remnants of the previous dynasty, "What are you talking about?"

"Am I talking nonsense?" Shopkeeper Qian sneered and stared at Jiang Cheng's face, "You came to my place a few days ago to trick me and use your identity as the Marquis Mansion, didn't you just want to find out what happened near Chunshen Lake? , so as to deduce the time of the next low tide, haha, you are afraid that you still don’t know, you have been targeted by the people of the Hou Mansion for a long time, and as soon as you left, the people of the Hou Mansion came to the door, although they I didn’t clearly identify myself, but I can recognize the sign on the waist of the leading man. It’s a white jade sign that can open the gate of Luo’an City at night. Who else is there in the entire Luo’an City besides the big shots in the Hou Mansion? Qualified to hold?”

Jiang Cheng probably understood the ins and outs of the matter, nodded calmly, and straightened his body pretending to have no hesitation: "Since Shopkeeper Qian has seen through it all, there is no need for us to hide it, we are the martyrs of the former dynasty. ”

"I don't care who you are. I'll pretend I haven't heard what you said today. You go away quickly. I tell you, I can't offend the Zhennan Hou Mansion, and I don't want to offend you. Can't I leave? I just want to be honest. Really do my business.”

Jiang Cheng suddenly smiled and looked at Shopkeeper Qian with a thoughtful look, "Shopkeeper Qian, you are a smart man. You didn't talk nonsense with the people in the Hou Mansion, did you?"

"No, don't worry, I, Mr. Qian, have a surprisingly strict mouth." Shopkeeper Qian seemed to feel that he had the right to speak in this negotiation, and he became more and more confident.

The fat man recalled the story that shopkeeper Qian told Jiang Cheng. Even when Jiang Cheng narrated the key points later, he told it for a full 20 minutes. This man had a bad mouth.

Shopkeeper Qian’s antique shop was very messy. It seemed that all the valuable things had been put away, leaving only a bunch of shocking rags. Shopkeeper Qian also had a large package thrown next to him, which should be needed on the road. luggage.

"Why don't you leave yet?" Shopkeeper Qian said aggressively.

Jiang Cheng looked at him and suddenly smiled, "I'm not busy, Shopkeeper Qian. Before I leave, I want to borrow something from you. I wonder... is it convenient?"
