Chapter 193 The Disappearing General
Xuan Gou Chen and Qin Guan were a little panicked at first, but then they thought, Feng Tianning was not worried, so what did they have to be afraid of?
Her abilities are obvious to everyone, so she must have figured out how to deal with it.
Until they entered Xuancheng, the soldiers guarding the city did not react at all, as if they could not see anyone at all.
The Northern Mang general swallowed his saliva and murmured in disbelief:
"I heard that several immortals came to the palace. Could they be them?"
"Is this the legendary magic?"
Feng Tianning had no idea how much shock they had brought to an ordinary person, and had already sneaked into General Xuancheng's mansion.
"Tianning, this isn't right?"
Xuan Gou Chen frowned and looked at the house in front of him.
It stands to reason that a mere general defending a city could not possibly have such a large mansion.
Even if he built it through corruption and illegal means, there should be people coming and going outside the house, and it shouldn't be so quiet like it is now.
They looked at each other, climbed over the wall and entered the yard.
Qin Guan looked up at the sky and found that the sun was hanging directly above their heads.
"It's already noon, so there should be smoke from cooking."
"But……"
Before he finished the second half of his sentence, Feng Tianning and Xuan Gou Chen realized that something was wrong.
The entire general's mansion was dead silent, without even the sound of people talking.
They walked slowly inside, looking around vigilantly, but after walking around several times, they couldn't find a single living person.
"Could it be that this general knew that our purpose was to attack Xuancheng, so he ran away with his family in advance?" Xuan Gou Chen said with some doubt.
Feng Tianning shook her head. She was also a little confused.
She had just checked and found that there were no secret passages or dark rooms in the entire general's mansion.
If they really fled with their entire family, the noise would be too loud, and the people of Xuancheng would definitely know about it.
"Let's leave here first." Feng Tianning said with a frown.
There is nothing worth seeing in the general's mansion.
They climbed over the wall again and left the mansion, but did not go far. Instead, they sat at a tea stall not far from the door.
"Waiter... no, waiter, serve the food!"
Qin Guan waved his hand and looked at the increasing number of dishes on the table with satisfaction.
Xuan Gou Chen blinked, approached him quietly and said:
"Do you have money?"
The smile on Qin Guan's face suddenly froze. How could he have forgotten about this?
On weekdays, the young master of the Qin family would just swipe his card when he went out. He forgot that there were no POS machines in ancient times, and his eight-digit bank card was just a card here.
Qin Guan's face wrinkled into a ball. He had wanted to buy something to get some information, but he didn't expect that he had no money.
Feng Tianning looked at the table of dishes in front of him helplessly, and said helplessly:
"You've ordered everything, eat it, I have a plan."
Upon hearing this, Xuan Gou Chen and Qin Guan had no doubts and started eating with big mouthfuls.
After eating and drinking, Feng Tianning took out a gold hairpin from his arms and placed it on the table, then called the waiter over.
"Is this enough to pay for the meal?"
The waiter was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly picked up the hairpin and bit it a few times, and the doubt on his face turned into a flattering smile.
"That's enough. That's enough."
"This hairpin of yours is enough to buy out our shop."
Feng Tianning chuckled:
"In that case, I will ask you for some information, and this hairpin will be yours."
A trace of greed flashed across the waiter's face, and he nodded hurriedly:
"A villain will tell you everything he knows, and he will say it without reservation!"
"Who is the general defending Xuancheng?"
"It's General Chen. He's a great hero of our Xuancheng."
"With him here, the barbarians in Northern Mang never dare to invade."
Xuan Gou Chen couldn't help but twitch his lips. It was not that Beimang didn't dare to invade, it was obvious that General Chen was also from Beimang.
"So where are they now?"
The waiter was stunned for a moment, and asked with some doubt:
"Dear guests, the one in front of you on the right is General Chen's residence. They live here."
Feng Tianning frowned and said:
"They have been here all the time and never come out?"
The waiter nodded and shook his head:
“They still go out for daily shopping, but they never leave Xuancheng.”
As he spoke, he seemed to see something, his eyes lit up a little, and he waved his hands and shouted loudly:
"Uncle Chen!"
Feng Tianning and the others looked in the direction he was looking, only to find that he was looking at the gate of the Chen Mansion, but there was no one in front of the gate.
Qin Guan looked at the waiter in confusion, then looked at the Chen Mansion.
"Who are you greeting?"
The waiter smiled and said:
"It's Uncle Chen, the steward of the Chen Mansion. He has been taking care of our business for many years, and we have become familiar with each other."
Qin Guan was even more confused:
"Where is he?"
The waiter looked at him strangely and said:
"It's right at the gate of the Chen Mansion."
"Look, he's waving at me."
Xuan Gou Chen turned around and asked the people drinking tea at another table:
"Have you seen where Uncle Chen is?"
The people at that table pointed to the gate of Chen Mansion in confusion and said:
"Isn't it right there?"
Feng Tianning and the other two didn't say anything. They all saw the solemnity on each other's faces.
Why can everyone here see the so-called Uncle Chen, but these three can't?
Feng Tianning looked around, but didn't see any small words.
Could it be an evil spirit?
She shook her head to deny her thoughts.
Not to mention that this is the Fangcun Realm, there can't be any evil spirits.
They sat here for a long time, then went into Chen's house and took a walk around, but they didn't sense any evil spirits.
Xuancheng was like an ordinary city. Except for General Chen's family, there was nothing wrong.
"The General is coming!"
"The General is coming!"
The waiter suddenly shouted loudly, threw away the things in his hands with a bang, and knelt on the ground.
The tea drinkers who were just drinking tea and the passers-by walking on the street seemed to have seen this "general" and hurriedly knelt down, leaving a path four or five people wide.
Except for the three of them who were sitting, almost all the other people knelt down.
"Is that General Chen?"
"Where is he?"
Qin Guan pulled the waiter anxiously, but he pressed his head to the ground as if he was dead, not moving at all.
"Let's wait and see." Feng Tianning said coldly.
Qin Guan and Xuan Gou Chen also stopped what they were doing and looked at the road ahead with vigilance.
Soon, several wheel tracks and horse hoof prints appeared in front of them.
They looked at each other and realized that this was probably the "General Chen".
The horseshoe prints stopped in front of Feng Tianning, then disappeared, replaced by several footprints.
It was as if... the person on the horse got off and walked straight towards her.
Feng Tianning felt a cold breath coming from above his head, but when he looked up there was nothing.
