Chapter 428 Creepy
Chen Huazheng and Zhou Ying were both frightened by Princess Lejia. It was true that people could not be talked to in broad daylight.
Before the two of them could say anything, Princess Lejia came to the table and sat down, poured herself a cup of tea and drank it all in one gulp.
Zhou Ying was about to speak when Princess Lejia poured herself another cup of tea, and she tilted her head back and gulped it down.
Shen Huazheng: …
How thirsty is this?
Chen Huazheng and Zhou Ying exchanged glances, wondering what was wrong with Princess Lejia.
Zhou Ying spoke first: "Aning, what's wrong with you?"
Chen Huazheng also said: "Yes, you just said that you heard some scary news, what is it?"
They all knew that Princess Lejia usually inquired about some gossip, and the more explosive the news, the more interested she was.
Perhaps because she is well-informed, many things that seem incredible to others are no longer surprising to Princess Lejia.
I don’t know what kind of news she got this time that made her so excited.
Princess Lejia put down the cup and said, "I just chatted with Yunruo downstairs, and then I planned to come to see you. I met the postmaster on the way, and he told us not to go out at night."
She paused, then continued:
"I noticed that he looked a little strange, so I asked him a few questions. Guess what happened?"
Zhou Ying: "What's wrong? Is there any danger nearby?"
Chen Huazheng also looked at Princess Lejia, her heart full of doubts.
Although this place is outside the city, it is an inn after all, so there shouldn't be any danger.
But looking at Princess Lejia's appearance, it didn't seem like a trivial matter.
Chen Huazheng urged, "Aning, stop keeping us in suspense and tell us now."
Princess Lejia: "We just arrived at the post station. When we were packing up, someone broke in from outside and tried to attack a soldier, but was eventually subdued."
Zhou Ying was confused: "You mean, someone broke into the post station and tried to attack the Northwest Army soldiers?"
Who on earth is so courageous?
Not only did he break into the post station, but he also wanted to attack the Northwest Army soldiers?
Shen Huazheng: "Who is he and what is his motive?"
Princess Lejia took another sip of tea and said, "I don't know yet. Vice General Yun is investigating. The postmaster said that the nearby town has been uneasy recently. Not only do people disappear from time to time, but some people who are fine on weekdays suddenly go crazy for no reason. They also attack others."
Hearing this, Shen Huazheng and Zhou Ying frowned.
What the postmaster meant was that the man who suddenly broke into the post station and attacked the soldiers was very similar to the crazy behavior of the people in the town.
Moreover, there were no signs before the townspeople went crazy.
Not only that, but people go missing from time to time.
This does sound a bit scary.
No wonder the postmaster told them not to go out at night.
Princess Lejia: "I even went to see that person, and he looked very strange. His face was dark and gloomy. He didn't look like a normal person, as if he had lost his soul. He couldn't even speak a complete sentence."
On the one hand, I feel that this incident is a bit scary, but on the other hand, I feel that this may be good material and may appear in the next storybook.
Princess Lejia went to see General Xie again and met the man who was captured by the Northwest Army.
When she saw that person, Princess Lejia was shocked.
The man looked very young, but he couldn't even stand steadily and was swaying from side to side.
His eye sockets were sunken and there was a deep blue mark under his eyes.
The moment she saw him, Princess Lejia immediately thought of what the old man meant by "a black forehead", which was the complexion of a dying person.
According to the soldier who was attacked and other people present, the man was very strong and it took three people to subdue him.
But if that was a dying man, how could he suddenly have such great strength that it would take three people to subdue him.
You have to know that the Northwest Army soldiers who traveled with them had all fought on the battlefield.
It took three people to subdue the person who broke into the post station.
It's really unbelievable.
Moreover, according to the postmaster, those people in the nearby town who went crazy for no reason should also be very strong.
Do those missing people have anything to do with this matter?
After hearing what Princess Lejia said, Shen Huazheng and Zhou Ying were silent.
The whole thing is so weird that it makes people shudder just by listening to it.
Princess Lejia took a sip of tea, picked up a piece of tangerine cake and took a bite.
At times like this, she has to eat some sweets to calm her nerves.
The tangerine cake is refreshing, sweet and fragrant, and is more flexible and chewy than the banana tangerine.
After chewing it, I feel the whole body is sweet.
After eating the tangerine cake, Princess Lejia seemed to have thought of something.
She looked at Chen Huazheng: "Zhengzheng, remember to close the door tightly when you go to bed at night."
Before it got dark, someone dared to break into the post station.
Who knows if someone will come at night?
If he is that kind of person during the day, it will be quite troublesome.
Zhou Ying also said: "That's right. Although Qingzhi Qingtang is guarding you and there are other guards, you still have to be careful."
She and Aning both have martial arts skills, only Zheng'er doesn't know any martial arts.
If someone breaks in at night, the consequences will be disastrous.
Fortunately, they are only staying here for one night and will leave early tomorrow morning.
Princess Lejia thought about it and still felt a little worried.
"Zheng Zheng, I'd better stay with you tonight. I'm worried about you living alone."
Before Chen Huazheng could react, Zhou Ying also said, "Zheng'er, I'll come with you too. I'll have someone to take care of me when the time comes."
Shen Huazheng: …
Is it too crowded?
Didn't you say you would have a good rest tonight?
"Don't worry, Qingzhi Qingtang is with me all the time. The others are not far away."
Under Shen Huazheng's insistence, Princess Lejia and Zhou Ying finally gave up the idea of living in the same house with her.
"Then remember to lock the door. If anything happens, come out and find us immediately."
Shen Huazheng nodded, and then said "hmm" softly, but her brows did not relax.
For some reason, she had a strong feeling that this matter was not that simple.
Princess Lejia was worried that Shen Huazheng was too scared, so she quickly changed the subject.
"Zheng Zheng, what are we going to eat tonight?"
Chen Huazheng laughed in silence: "Aning, you're overdoing it too quickly."
He was just talking about such a horrible thing seriously, and suddenly he asked what we were going to eat tonight.
Princess Lejia: "What's so fast about this? Eating is the most important thing. Besides, it's time for dinner now."
Zhou Ying couldn't help laughing, and the atmosphere in the room was no longer as solemn as before.
Chen Huazheng thought for a moment and said, "Why not have dried beans and bacon stewed with rice today, and some seaweed egg drop soup."
Princess Lejia's eyes lit up and she ordered rice stewed with dried beans and bacon.
It sounds delicious!!
Then have the seaweed egg drop soup, it's absolutely amazing!!
Princess Lejia: "Zhengzheng, I'll listen to you about what you want to eat."
Zheng Zheng arranges what I eat every day. Is there anything happier in the world than this?
Shen Huazheng and the other two walked out of the room and headed towards the kitchen.
During this period of time, they would have lunch on the road and dinner at the post station.
Lunch would be better, and for dinner, they would just order some noodles at the post station, with some sauce and various pickled meats.
Fortunately, Shen Huazheng and his group brought a lot of sauces, so they could eat them in different ways for each meal, which could barely be considered delicious.
But when it comes down to it, it's naturally not as sophisticated as cooking by yourself.
Fortunately, I can arrive at the post station early today, so I have more time. Of course, I have to have a good meal to replenish my energy.
As soon as Shen Huazheng and the other two came downstairs, they found that in addition to the soldiers in the post station, there were also people from the Northwest Army standing guard.
General Xie, Xie Yanqing, Yun Gan, Yun Ruo and others were all downstairs at this time.
Seeing Shen Huazheng and the other two, General Xie and his group walked towards them.
General Xie: "Sir Shen, Miss Zhou, the princess has already told you about that matter."
Zhou Ying: "Thank you, General. We already know about that."
Chen Huazheng: "Xie General, have you figured out the identity of that person?"
General Xie said sternly, "It's good that you know this. The man's identity has been found out. He is the owner of a tavern in the town, named Wang Zhao..."
According to the information they obtained, Wang Zhaoping was kind to others and had never had an argument with anyone.
Not to mention fighting with others.
Such a person would suddenly break into the post station and attack strangers.
Moreover, Wang Zhao is not a martial artist.
But when he went crazy, it took three Northwest Army soldiers to subdue him.
