Tang Jianqiu, who was equally puzzled as him, said: "I don't know, but there is a fortress to the east.
The structure of the place is a bit strange. Normally, the house is designed to face north and south, but now he has it the other way around. It really doesn't fit with the garden design. It's better to open a house and ask. "
This was the answer he could give so far. After hearing this, A Fei readily agreed:
"It's easy! Sir, how can I bother you to do this kind of thing yourself? Just leave it to the younger one!"
Ah Fei jumped off his horse enthusiastically, and then came to the house nearest to him and knocked gently on the door knocker.
He was about to open his mouth to say something but heard the person inside spoke first:
"I...we have acted in accordance with the local government regulations and listened carefully to the instructions. We did not go out in the middle of the night, and even did something inappropriate. I hope you will be aware of it!"
After hearing this, Ah Fei was stunned for a moment and couldn't answer the question for a moment, so that he didn't know how to deal with it.
Tang Jianqiu naturally saw his difficulty and was not embarrassed. He stepped on the stirrups and walked slowly forward, and then said patiently:
"Master, it's like this. We are travelers, not government officials. We only came to this deep mountain because we missed Sutou, and we hope to use your place to rest for a night."
However, the person inside did not come out, nor did he mean to open the door. Instead, he said a harsh word:
"Oh, I said you are very verbose! I have made it so clear. I advise you to leave this place. People in the government have clearly stipulated that you are not allowed to go out privately at night. Sir, you still have to go where you are. Bar!"
Even though the other party had already confirmed his words, Tang Jianqiu still wanted to fight for it, "I don't ask for food from the host, just asking for a room is enough to express my gratitude for the kindness."
The people inside were dubious, and then opened a crack slightly.
He was about to stick his head out to take a look, but when he saw the official uniform Tang Jianqiu was wearing, he closed the courtyard door without hesitation.
Tang Jianqiu: "..."
It was the first time that the envoy of Fusi Town in Tangtang North Town was rejected. This sudden scene made A Fei almost laugh out loud, but he still held it in as much as possible.
One of the Jinyi guards started to curse when he saw this.
"This old man is so unreasonable! He keeps saying that people in the government are not allowed to go out without permission. I think they are all lies! If this is true, how can you be afraid of Mr. Tang?
In my opinion, that old man did it on purpose. Why did he use the officers and soldiers to prevaricate him? Grandpa got excited and just broke in! "
Hearing this, Tang Jianqiu refused: "No, we are not the bullies in this village, nor are we the gangsters in the village. If we really do this, how will we be different from them? Let them go."
This is not because Tang Jianqiu has the kindness of a woman, but because he does not want to rely on his status to bully the people.
The local people were already particularly sensitive to the position of Jinyiwei, especially when they saw a regent like Tang Jianqiu. He did not want to make Jinyiwei's reputation too bad.
"Jianqiu, why don't you give me a try?"
Su Jing got off the carriage. At first, he thought that Tang Jianqiu was too serious, and because he was a military attache and made the people unhappy, he made such remarks.
"Brother Su, please."
Tang Jianqiu stood aside. Seeing this, Su Jing stepped forward and patted the door. His tone was relatively modest: "Old man, did I scare you just now?
That is one of my brothers, and he is a very good person. I may have said something wrong just now, so I apologize for any offence! I wonder if it would be convenient for the host to open the door to meet me? "
The response was still endless silence, which made it impossible for Su Jing, Tang Jianqiu and others to deal with each other.
The two looked at each other, neither of them able to explain;
They keep saying that this was announced by the local government. With their official positions, they can completely crush the local government. Why are they afraid?
This is the first special event they have ever encountered, and it has never been seen before.
All the officers and soldiers were even more furious when they saw this, including the Jin Yiwei.
They thought that the people in this place were too arrogant, so they simply demolished the place! It’s really impossible to teach them a lesson!
Just when they were about to do so, they were stopped by Tang Jianqiu.
"Since the old man doesn't want to open the door for us, he can't force it. We can just go and settle elsewhere."
Since Tang Jianqiu said so, they had no choice but to obey. Su Jing didn't have any objections and asked the officers and soldiers to take advantage of the situation.
At first he didn't care, but as time went by it changed.
He stared at the castle again and again, feeling more and more familiar, and suddenly he remembered something.
Why does this castle look like the rumors? Could it be that this is the Xihe Fort that officials in the DPRK and China call it?
In order to confirm his suspicion, Su Jing walked towards the strange fortress. After some inspection, he could basically conclude that this was the Xihe Fort mentioned by the people in the court!
"Weird!"
Su Jing couldn't help but marvel after hearing this. Not only was the structure of the fortress facing south and north, but the structure of his wall was even better. It was not like what he usually saw. It was really weird.
"Brother Su, what did you find?"
Seeing that Su Jing was in such a mood, Tang Jianqiu couldn't help but ask. Seeing this, Su Jing calmly explained:
"Master Tang, please see, is this house different from Peking and even other places? It is said that his design is beyond common sense and does not look like it is for people to live in."
"Indeed, I also noticed that this house is very strange, and it always has such a structure?"
Tang Jianqiu was very puzzled. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation in all his years as a royal guard. This was really unheard of and unheard of.
Not to mention local officials, even local people pay great attention to Feng Shui. Only good Feng Shui can lead to prosperity. There are three reasons for this;
First, religious belief, and this is one of the most important reasons.
Secondly, if the environment of the residence or burial place is not conducive to the growth and development of life, it will lead to many ominous things happening.
Finally, the influence of geographical environment on human behavior. All of the above are enough to illustrate the importance of Feng Shui to the people and local officials, but this person did not follow common sense.
However, A Fei's focus was rather strange. He swallowed his saliva first, his face was full of fear and helplessness, and he was sweating profusely. He said slightly nervously:
"Master Su, do you mean this is a haunted house?"
Su Jing shook his head and said, "Not really."
"Then... I dare to ask, why is Mr. Su worried?"
"It is said that there are various mechanisms inside this castle. If you enter rashly, I'm afraid..."
Su Jingshen knew how dangerous it was inside. If someone who didn't have the foresight accidentally stepped on the mechanism, all his brothers would be buried with him!
"I think there are people out there who are playing tricks. This kind of array is just to cover up. Maybe you have some shady deal."
Ah Fei muttered quietly to the side, dragging out all the unhappiness and complaints in his heart.
Jinyiwei Qianhu heard A Fei's words but expressed disbelief. He thought A Fei had thought too much;
"Do you think everyone is as timid as you think? If that's the case, I'm afraid it will cause chaos in the world!"
"But we can't completely deny it!"
Ah Fei was not willing to show weakness, and both sides did not argue, both thinking that what he said made sense.
Tang Jianqiu, however, remained neutral. He knew that even if the argument continued, there would be no result, so he said:
"Okay, the truth will be known as soon as we go, why bother arguing here? We are all brothers."
After hearing this, the quarrel between the two came to an end, and A Fei always believed in his intuition, and he believed that he would not be wrong.
"It seems that I have to find out the truth personally." Even though he knew that he would face unknown dangers once he entered, Tang Jianqiu insisted on doing so. After all, he had no better idea at the moment.
Now that we're already here, we can't just wait outside, right?
"Jianqiu, you should think about it carefully." Su Jing thought that this was too risky, and it would be a very risky bet.
However, Tang Jianqiu was like a stubborn donkey, refusing to turn back no matter what. He believed that since it had been decided, there was no need to turn back.
"I have made up my mind to go. There is no need for my brothers to follow. I will send a signal if it is safe."
"This... sir, or else..."
They hoped that Tang Jianqiu could think about it. After all, the matter was so important that it was better to give it more consideration.
However, Tang Jianqiu had a stern look on his face and looked as if he was ready to die. His handsome face was filled with the belief that he would never admit defeat.
"Brother Su, it seems that this is indeed full of various mechanisms as rumored. If that's the case, then I'll break the news!"
With that said, Tang Jianqiu planned to venture inside but was stopped by Su Jing. He had seen the scene clearly just now, so how could he watch him take risks?
"Absolutely not! Jianqiu, the risk is too great. We still need to figure out what's strange."
Su Jing was also considering safety. What if something big happened?
Tang Jianqiu was not afraid in the face of danger, but kept a normal mind and said without changing his expression: "Brother Su, I said I must break this eye today!"
Tang Jianqiu clearly remembered that Su Jing returned successfully after this mission in his previous life. Unfortunately, he suffered heavy casualties and ended up with a tragic victory!
What's more, Su Jing was seriously injured at that time. In this life, no matter what, he would never let such a thing happen!
Su Jing knew Tang Jianqiu's nature well and could not stop him, so he could only let him go.
"Always proceed with caution."
"Yes." Tang Jianqiu responded simply,
"In that case, how about we explore the way for Master Tang first? Sir, just follow me."
The officers and soldiers under Su Jing wanted to make a splash. After these days, they already knew the relationship between Tang Jianqiu and Su Jing.
Furthermore, he was a little frustrated after being an officer and soldier for so many years, and he had no place to vent his worries. It would be a good thing if he could take this opportunity to get the attention of the two adults.
Tang Jianqiu nodded. He thought this was a good idea, so he agreed, "It's okay. To be on the safe side, it's better to send a few fewer people. Be careful!"
"clear!"
