Chapter 1399: Deceased Wife

"It seems right, they are all drowned ghosts..."

Yao, Shun, and Yu recalled the lotus pond they saw last night. The lush lotus flowers were just a camouflage, but they were actually faces with disheveled hair.

"So General Guo and the others were not killed by Zhennan Hou in a head-on battle with weapons, but they all died from drowning." Li Bai breathed rapidly, "It's... it's that ship!"

"That's right." Another picture appeared in Jiang Cheng's mind, "Do you still remember what Zhu Jie and Tang Qisheng said? They saw countless figures behind the door on that ship. The figures were wailing for help and desperately trying to open the door in front of them. , and the ship...is sinking."

A guess gradually formed in Jiang Cheng's mind: Zhennan Marquis used some method to trap General Guo and the others in the cabin, and then took advantage of the night to scuttle the big ship and send everyone in. The cold bottom of the lake.

But in the next second, this guess was overturned, because one thing didn't make sense. These people were all disciples who could break armor with their bare hands. How could a mere door stop them?

This is not the place to talk. Seeing that their goal has been achieved, the four of them plan to evacuate, but they must clean up the mess here before leaving.

They started to bury the previous coffin first, and then several people returned to General Guo's tomb. But before they could do anything, Jiang Cheng suddenly stopped everyone.

Because of the excavation of the coffin, there was some excavated soil nearby, but at this moment Jiang Cheng was staring at a spot on the soil. The fat man followed Jiang Cheng's line of sight and saw that the soil was full of messy shoe prints.

But the next second, the fat man's expression changed, because among the messy shoe prints, there were also some very strange marks. These marks were only one-third the size of ordinary people's shoe prints. They looked like... Left behind by someone who walked on tiptoes.

This unusual moment made everyone's hearts sink to the bottom. The two cemeteries were not far from each other. Within such a short distance, there was something secretly lurking behind them. Thinking of that scene, Fatty couldn't help but shudder.

Weird footprints stretched crookedly into the grass.

A few people from Jiangcheng pulled up grass that was as tall as one man and followed him. After walking a short distance, another tombstone suddenly appeared in front of them. The size of the tombstone was no less than that of General Guo.

After pulling out the tombstone this time, the vague name on it surprised Jiang Cheng and others. The tomb of his deceased wife... This was actually the tomb of Mrs. Zhennan Hou!

Although they knew early on that this place was a ghost house, no one expected that the Marquis of Zhennan would actually bury his wife and these former soldiers together.

After the coffin was dug out and opened, there was no corpse or wooden figure inside. There was only a bright red wedding dress lying quietly at the bottom of the coffin, and a pair of very delicate embroidered shoes at the end of the coffin.

What made everyone's scalp numb was that the embroidered shoes were still stained with fresh mud.

Li Bai mustered up the courage and took out a cloth bag stained red with blood from the coffin. The cloth bag was placed on the cuff of the wedding dress. In the coffin of Zhennan Hou's deceased wife, there was also a bag of soul-warning orders.

Li Bai spread his hands and poured out the command arrows. As before, there were only 17 arrows in it, and the missing one was the sinking water command.

Now the situation is gradually becoming clearer, but the doubts brought to everyone have not been alleviated at all. Judging from the layout here, Zhennanhou's wife also died in the huge sunken ship that night on Chunshen Lake, but why did she Will die? And he also died with these former soldiers?

Shouldn't they be mortal enemies?

The harvest this time was not small, but just as everyone had a feeling of clearing away the clouds, the next second, they were involved in another whirlpool. Countless fragmentary clues were pieced together in their minds. In this depressing environment, It is difficult to keep a cool head under the pressure, but this is very beneficial to Jiang Cheng. He is used to thinking under high pressure. After just ten seconds, Jiang Cheng looked at Yao and Shunyu, "You read a lot of books in the bookstore. The above is about town. There is no introduction to Nanhou’s life, right?”

"No, there are only some superficial words of praise, and the only record is that he defeated the former General Guo and captured Luo'an City for the dynasty." Yao and Shunyu expressed their opinions after recalling: "He seemed to appear out of thin air. For people, the first half of their lives is blank.”

"Because he was a surrendered general from the previous dynasty!" Jiang Cheng's face gradually darkened, "With such an important status, naturally he dare not show off his merits in a big way, and I think he is very familiar with General Guo, and is even a general under General Guo. , when the dynasty besieged Luo'an City for a long time and could not attack it, it was he who tricked and killed General Guo and others, and then he was able to open the door and dedicate the city. It was also with the lives of these people that he gained wealth and glory for the rest of his life. "

The fat man was stunned for a while, as if he was listening to a book from heaven. But after thinking about it carefully, he found that what the doctor said did make sense. Otherwise, how could the extraordinary feats of seizing the city be mentioned in the book, and beheading generals on the battlefield? Everyone has their own fate in seizing the flag, and there is no need to curse the soldiers of the previous dynasty in such an insidious way that damages their morality.

No wonder those drowned ghosts were so resentful. Even at the bottom of Spring God Lake, which was dozens of miles away, they would not let go of the Marquis of Zhennan. The backstabbing from the brothers was the most difficult to let go of.

At this moment, the dark cloud above their heads had gradually floated over everyone's heads, and there was no point in spending any more time. After simply burying Zhennan Hou's deceased wife, the group left quickly.

Before leaving, the fat man grabbed a few handfuls of dirt and put them in his pocket, saying that he was prepared. If something evil happened at night, he might be able to survive by swallowing a mouthful of grave dirt.

The few people walked very carefully, fearing that they would get lost in the wasteland, but fortunately, this did not happen. The pair of clay embroidered shoes just now left a psychological shadow on them.

Standing by the wall, everyone felt a chill on their backs at the same time, and subconsciously looked behind them. At this moment, the dark cloud had completely covered the backyard. A gust of cold wind whistled past, instantly pressing down the half-man-high weeds. Dozens or hundreds of dilapidated tombstones were exposed at the same time, like a crooked and cold corpse standing in the weeds. The scene was so weird that it could not be described.

The four people almost fled from here. They did not dare to go through the door, nor could they go through the door. They climbed over the wall. Even after jumping over, the fat man's heart was still beating "bang bang bang".

Not long after leaving, before everyone could catch their breath, Jiang Cheng's mobile phone suddenly rang. He picked it up and saw that it was Mr. Zhang who called.

"Where are you? Why don't you reply to the message? The phone is also turned off?"

Mr. Zhang's tone gave Jiang Cheng a bad premonition.
