Chapter 195 Token
No wonder she always felt that the scene in front of her looked familiar. It was the same as before with the waiter.
First there was the sound of horse hooves, and then the people knelt down together, saying that General Chen had returned.
Then a row of footprints appeared in front of her, and she guessed that they might be left by the so-called "General Chen".
I didn't expect that the scene just now would be repeated here, even the footprints on the ground were exactly the same.
Feng Tianning looked back and found that they were in the market just now. There were small vendors selling goods in the back, but now it has become the general's mansion.
Even the waiter I had just met was kneeling timidly in the teahouse, not daring to look up.
The only difference is...
Feng Tianning's gaze fell on General Chen's face.
A city defense general who looks nothing special. If it weren't for this identity, he would probably never be noticed by them in his entire life.
They didn't see General Chen before entering the door, but now they saw him clearly.
At first, only the people of Xuancheng could see it, but now they can too. Does that mean they have been "assimilated" into the same people as these people?
Feng Tianning took a quick glance and realized that there were no small words above his head either.
"Who are you? Why don't you kneel before me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the people who were kneeling suddenly raised their heads and looked at them with wide eyes, as if they wanted to poke a hole in the three of them.
Their lips moved slightly, as if they were saying something, but no sound came out.
Feng Tianning spent a long time trying to figure out what was going on before he realized that they were mechanically repeating General Chen's previous question.
The people around seemed to be controlled by something. They just stared at them and kept repeating this sentence.
"Tianning...this isn't right."
Feng Tianning frowned and quietly sent his luck and spiritual power towards him.
But the spiritual power suddenly dissipated the moment it approached General Chen, and not even the dust on his clothes was lifted off.
Feng Tianning blinked, and suddenly some speculations became apparent in his mind.
They didn't speak and the scene became silent.
Qin Guan quietly approached Feng Tianning and said:
"Grandma, my spiritual power seems to have no effect on him."
He had just tried to attack General Chen, not to really kill him, but to see if he was an evil spirit.
But unexpectedly, his spiritual power seemed to be ineffective against General Chen.
Feng Tianning nodded, thought for a moment, and took out a token.
This was exactly what the Northern Mang general gave her before entering the city.
It is said that they can use this token to command General Chen and ask him to cooperate with their advance.
As expected, General Chen's face changed the moment he saw the token. He snatched the token from Feng Tianning's hand with a dark face.
After examining it carefully for a long time, his expression became somewhat serious.
"Who are you?"
Feng Tianning glanced at him coldly:
"The owner of the token."
She deliberately lied just to verify her guess.
General Chen was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then his face became more respectful:
"In that case, please follow me, gentlemen."
As soon as these words were spoken, the people who had been looking at them with wide eyes suddenly smiled unexpectedly.
They looked like they were carved from the same mold, even the curve of their mouths was exactly the same.
He looked at the three of them with respect.
Qin Guan felt his scalp tingling under the gaze of these people, and he couldn't help but shiver.
They followed General Chen into the general's mansion and isolated themselves from the smiling people outside.
It wasn't until they reached the study that General Chen clenched his fist and placed it on his chest.
"Sir, I, General Chen Xuan, await your orders."
Feng Tianning raised her eyebrows. She had just imagined countless possible actions of General Chen, but she didn't expect it to be like this.
"What do you mean?" She pretended to be stupid.
General Chen smiled:
"Before I left, His Majesty once said that if I could retire one day, I would send someone to Xuancheng with this token."
"Then I can go home and reunite with my family."
"What else? What else did your Majesty say?"
General Chen was stunned for a moment, and his back, which had just straightened up, bent down again.
"His Majesty said that seeing this token is like seeing the Holy Emperor himself. I dare not neglect it."
After saying this, there was a hint of hope in his eyes:
"Are you gentlemen here to take me home?"
Looking at his "sincere" look, Feng Tianning couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Facing General Chen's puzzled look, Feng Tianning did not answer his question, but continued to ask:
"I heard from that soldier just now that you defeated the Northern Mang general and even retrieved his head?"
General Chen's forehead was covered with a few drops of cold sweat, and he hurriedly explained:
“No…it’s not.”
"That general harbored ulterior motives and wanted to betray Northern Mang. Your Majesty sent me a letter via carrier pigeon, asking me to eliminate him through war."
"Your Majesty is aware of all these matters. I dare not make decisions on my own, let alone harm my colleagues."
"So you are innocent?" Feng Tianning raised his eyebrows.
General Chen nodded hurriedly, his waist bent a little more.
Feng Tianning looked at him steadily, and after a long while he finally laughed:
"I was wrong."
"I almost wronged a loyal minister."
General Chen immediately said respectfully:
"I dare not. It is already an injustice for you gentlemen to come all the way to a remote place like Xuancheng."
"How dare I let you worry about my affairs again."
As he said this, he handed the servant outside in and said:
"Go down and entertain these gentlemen well. Don't neglect them in the slightest!"
The servant shuddered a little and quickly replied "yes".
"My Lords, since you have come to my place, you should allow me to show my hospitality."
"Just stay here for a few days and I'll take care of everything."
Xuan Gou Chen wanted to say something, but was stopped by Feng Tianning with a look.
"In that case, excuse me for disturbing you."
Feng Tianning nodded and followed the servant out first.
Seeing them walk away, the flattery in General Chen's eyes faded away, replaced by coldness.
He picked up the handkerchief on the table, wiped his hands, and said casually:
"Kill him."
"The soldier who was shouting at me all over the city to take the head of the Northern Mang general."
The leaves outside the window shook for a moment, and soon a scream was heard in the military camp.
The soldier sighed as he looked at the soldier whose head had been cut off.
"He must have violated the general's taboo again."
"Yes, everyone who offends the general will be killed in this way."
…
On the other side, Feng Tianning and others who followed the servant back to their residence still didn't know what had happened.
Qin Guan asked curiously:
"Grandma, how credible do you think General Chen's words are?"
Feng Tianning sneered, with a hint of coldness in his eyes:
"There's not a single word of truth in it."
