After the Fairy Disappeared Chapter 59

  Chapter 59 My Son Has No Regrets

  Even if there are oil shops, wine shops, and charcoal shops in this city, the buildings are all wooden structures. It is a big project to burn down a city with only this manpower.

  After everyone else had left, He Lingchuan turned his back on the carbine, turned back to Zhong Zhai, and jumped lightly into an empty room.

  The room is not small, with two beds, one large and one small, two stools, and a dressing table.

  After Sun Guoshi cast the command arrow, He Lingchuan took advantage of the time he gathered his companions to walk around the official building and check around.

  He Lingchuan didn't find any useful clues at the time, but after everyone discussed it for a while, he suddenly wanted to take a look again.

  Each set of official buildings is small in size and simple in function. It is a place where you can eat, live and sleep. Then this room should be the bedroom of Zhong Shengguang and his wife.

  The bedding on the big bed is clean, the quilts are neatly folded, and there is a treasured sword hanging on the wall beside the bed.

  Hanging the murderous soldier above the bedside of himself and his wife, probably only a fierce man in charge of the army can do it, and the small bed next to it—

   It should be their daughter Zhong Wugui.

  Because the small bed is only three feet long, an adult cannot lie on it even with his legs curled up. There are small wooden horses and wooden soldiers wielding wooden swords on the bedside. Opposite them is a somewhat fierce-looking cloth tiger.

  No, it is a cloth leopard, made in the image of a sand leopard, with the round spots of a sand leopard.

   Once these three are placed there, it will be a story.

  He picked it up and saw a few small characters embroidered on the leopard's belly:

  My son has no regrets.

   At the foot of the bed, there is a small doll stuffed.

  He Lingchuan walked to the side of the big bed, a set of gouache and a bronze mirror were neatly placed on the dressing table.

  He picked it up and checked it, and found that there was a comb inserted on the back of the bronze mirror, which turned out to be a suit.

This is? His eyes lit up, he picked up the comb, looked at the light, and murmured: "So it's here."

   This is a simple wooden comb with simple form and single function, only a small light blue flower is painted on the comb head.

   This pigment is obtained from a fine powder of shellfish, which can be tuned to blue like the sky.

   Just by this flower decoration, He Lingchuan can be sure that this is the owner's token that was taken away by Sand Leopard when Panlong City was broken in the past!

   It was also it that made the He family and the Da Sima Mansion form a bridge.

   It's just that half of the comb hasn't been burned yet.

"Zhong Shengguang's wife passed away shortly after giving birth, so he really kept this comb as a souvenir." He Lingchuan looked at the crib and said to himself, "No, Zhong Wugui has not yet come into the world at this time, Zhong Shengguang doesn't know that his wife will A boy and a girl, but a crib has been prepared."

   Otherwise, Commander Zhong wouldn't have put a few boy's toys next to the child's bed, as if he had cut them himself.

   "This is probably the happiest time in his life." There is hope for an official career, and his beautiful wife is about to give birth.

  He opened the secret compartment of the dressing table. There were several pieces of jewelry inside, all made of ordinary materials, but He Lingchuan glanced at one of them and froze.

   This is a necklace with a crescent-shaped pendant.

   It looked so familiar, He Lingchuan subconsciously pulled out the necklace around his neck.

   It's basically the same thing! It's just that one is in the illusion and the other is in reality, even the appearance has changed.

   That is to say, before his daughter was born, Zhong Shengguang was the owner of this sacred bone necklace.

  He Lingchuan realized something, carefully put the comb back in place, and exited the room.

  He had just walked out of the official building when he saw someone standing outside.

   Hair peach.

  He Lingchuan was taken aback, and couldn't help cursing: "Don't even say a word, are you scared?"

   "Young Master, I'll go with you, I'll do all the work." Mao Tao accompanied her with a smile, "It seems that someone is always spying on me, trying to take advantage of my order."

   "Even if there is, it is not human." He Lingchuan did not refuse. He also has that feeling of thorns on his back, and it is indeed safer for two people to walk together. Mao Tao pointed out, "I remember there was a big restaurant there."

  He Lingchuan turned his head and glanced at Zhong Zhai: "This is too close, leave it to the city's ordnance. Let's go far away."

  Both of them knew how to do some kung fu, so they ran fast all the way.

  Two quarters of an hour later, the road became narrower and narrower, the buildings on the roadside became sparser, and large commercial warehouses, post stations, and even grain drying fields appeared.

  This kind of place is far away from any city gate. Even if the city's ordnance can still be obtained, it will not have the effect of igniting the whole area once it is sent out.

   This depends on human hands.

  The two turned into a brewery, found a cart to unload the goods, loaded more than a dozen jars of old wine, and dismantled two pleasing logs to make torches, and then took the wine out.

  Walk all the way and burn all the way, pouring wine on wood, quilts, thatch or other combustibles.

   In this way, after traveling for several miles and then looking back, I saw the flames soaring into the sky.

   Mao Tao pointed to the west: "There is black smoke rising to the sky, it seems that the national teacher is also working hard."

  He Lingchuan just glanced at it, then continued to work: "It seems that there is not the point."

   Mao Taoqi said: "The important point? What is the important point?"

"We decided to burn the whole city only because we couldn't find the key point to break the game, so we could only rely on this kind of stupid work. Otherwise, one firebolt would be enough." He Lingchuan had a clear mind, "On the other hand, burning other places It's useless, this illusion can only be dispelled if it is burned to the point.”

   Mao Tao shook his hand, sighed: "How long will it take?" He was tired because He Lingchuan asked him to act as a donkey pulling the cart.

   Even if it is a real donkey, pulling a cart full of wine jars for ten miles will be exhausting.

   Burning a city, he felt numb just thinking about it.

"You should be happy." He Lingchuan said gloomyly, "The breaking point is not in the area we are in charge of. It is a blessing from your previous life. Think about Tao Bo's end, the consequences of the illusion breaking, can you afford it? "

   Tao Bo's final end was not much friendlier than the team, with no bones left. Mao Tao shuddered: "Then let's go to join the National Teacher as soon as possible."

  He Lingchuan chuckled: "Thanks to you, it didn't finish so quickly."

  Because Mao Tao came to him, the entire northern part of Panlong City hadn't been burned yet. "You can tell me now, what exactly did you come to see me for?"

  Mao Tao was stunned: "I, I'm just afraid."

  He Lingchuan was too lazy to tell him: "Go back to the north."

"No, I said! I just haven't thought about it." Mao Tao wiped his sweat with a towel, "Just now the national teacher read Tao Bo's handwriting, he didn't know, in fact, I lived in Tongcheng in Baling Kingdom before following Boss Situ For twelve years, I also went to school, until my stepfather was killed in business..."

   "Stop, get to the point!"

   "...Balingwen, I can understand a little bit."

  He Lingchuan stopped: "What is the national teacher hiding?"

  He knew that this old man was hiding private goods!
