C446 Bad People

After staying at the foot of the mountain and entering Pu Jiang County, Zhang Jingxuan felt that this place was really a bit strange.

It was only because passers-by often paid attention to him. There were even some girls who covered their mouths and smiled as they passed by.

Cult Master Zhang was still thinking about why the people here had such a habit. When they saw handsome men, they were all so frivolous.

After a while, he laughed involuntarily.

It turned out that he, who was covered in dust, hadn't washed up properly for many days. Now, he should be dirty like a little mud monkey. No wonder he was so eye-catching.

After finding an inn, he threw away the silver without saying anything, and a waiter booked a room for him. After he had fetched the bath water and washed up, he changed into the new clothes that Lee Huanqing had prepared for him earlier. His entire person instantly looked like a brand new person.

This time, when he went out and walked on the road, there were indeed not that many people who looked at him. As for those who occasionally looked at him, Zhang Jingxuan could only thicken his skin and tell himself that no matter where he went, he would always be so bright. Sigh, it was very helpless.

Walking leisurely to Zheng Mansion Town in Pu River, he saw a huge memorial arch in the distance. The words "Jiangnan's First Home" were written on it.

Although the memorial arch had been there for more than two hundred years, it was still clean and tidy. However, the scouring of time had left behind layers of marks on it. It was like an old man with the same majesty, yet it was difficult to conceal his age.

At the town entrance, by the side of a small stream, there were a few mischievous children squatting on the ground and playing marbles. Zhang Jingxuan could not help but stop his footsteps when he saw this scene.

He also had a special marbles on him, the one Faang Zhuliu gave him back then.

He was a grandmaster among marbles!

It was a pity that these guys were a little too young. Three of them were six or seven years old, and two were eight or nine years old. Only one was slightly older and looked to be only eleven or twelve years old. That fellow seemed to be much more powerful than the other children. As he played, he even sang a song in his mouth, "The food is in the bag and the horse is in the head. Elder sister marries behind the door."

Why did elder sister marry to the back of the door? Zhang Jingxuan expressed that he didn't understand. But it was a pity that he could not play marbles with these children. Even if he won, he would not be able to avoid being defeated. Once he lost, it would be too...

Sigh, it was inevitable for experts to be so lonely!

While sighing with emotion, the older child also noticed Zhang Jingxuan. He raised his head and the singing in his mouth stopped.

The two of them looked at each other. Zhang Jingxuan only felt that the way the child looked at him was somewhat strange.

The boy was not tall and looked a little thin. His eyes were dark and shiny. However, the way he looked at people somehow reminded him of Sun Shanglou. When he did not sing, his lips were tightly pursed. It seemed to have some depth that did not match his age.

He glanced at Zhang Jingxuan, then lowered his head and continued hitting his marbles.

At this moment, there was suddenly a sound of drums and drums in the town. Zhang Jingxuan stood there and asked the children, "Huh? What a coincidence, is it someone who is holding a happy occasion?"

The children were too lazy to even raise their heads, and this immediately made Zhang Jingxuan suffer a huge blow. In the end, it was still the older boy who raised his head and said lazily, "Are you a foreigner? You can't even hear mourning music?"

Zhang Jingxuan's face turned red when he heard that. Fortunately, he had been exposed to the wind and sun recently, so he might not be able to tell. When he listened carefully, he realized that it was indeed not very festive.

"Oh, over at my hometown, this sad music is really different from what you guys have here. Misunderstanding, misunderstanding. Little brothers, who was the one who died in the Zheng family?"

" I know the answer, but I still have to ask. You bunch of bad guys, you actually have the guts to come and find out during the day. " The boy looked at him, his eyes slightly narrowed, and his tone became unfriendly.

When they heard the word "bad people," the other children also raised their heads. Being stared at by a few pairs of sparkling eyes full of hostility at the same time, Zhang Jingxuan naturally found it hard to feel at ease.

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding. Why am I a bad person? I came to visit and study in the name of the Zhengyi Sect. I really am not a bad person. " For the first time, Zhang Jingxuan felt that his words were so weak. Furthermore, he felt defeated. Could someone like me really be a bad person?

The children saw him deny it, but there was no evidence. They simply ignored him. At that moment, the funeral procession that was blowing and blowing had arrived nearby. Zhang Jingxuan turned his head and looked. Someone was carrying two black coffins over. The first one who was carrying the flag of filial piety was also two seven or eight years old children. It seemed like both of the dead were in their prime. Could it be that there was a plague? Why did two of them die at the same time?

After taking another look, Zhang Jingxuan suddenly turned around and turned his head back.

Because he saw someone he knew.

Among the few people in the funeral procession, Zhang Jingxuan recognized one of them.

That white-faced, beardless, and vigorous man was either the general under Lee Hongji, Li Chaozhi, or someone else.

It was just that looking at his expression of grief and indignation, it seemed to be more refined and composed than before.

Zhang Jingxuan's heart raced. It seemed like Lee Yuming really had some kind of relationship with Lee Hongji. He didn't know if this trip to Zhengyi Sect would be a trap. Fortunately, Li Guo didn't seem to see him just now.

"Brother, you still say that you are not a bad person? If you are not a bad person, why are you so sneaky? You don't look old, so why do you have to do bad things instead of being a good person? "

Zhang Jingxuan, who was deep in thought, realized that the boy had his eyes on him again. The boy was young, but he was really old when he spoke!

"What do you know? Play with your marbles. I was the overlord of marbles back then. No matter where I go, I will be chased by people asking for autographs. I am just afraid that people will recognize me. You bunch of little kids, if it wasn't for me, I would still have things to do. I can really give you a few pointers. Next time." After saying that, he turned around and left, completely ignoring the booing that came from behind him.

It seemed like it was not convenient to inquire about the secrets of Zhengyi Sect during the day. Zhang Jingxuan found a random restaurant to have a good meal, then returned to the inn to rest and reorganize, and only waited for the operation at night.

At the beginning of the night, Zhang Jingxuan tidied up neatly and neatly, then left the inn and casually strolled around. After making sure that no one was following him, he leisurely headed towards the Zheng Mansion.

This time, he didn't take the main road. In a quiet forest, other than his long robe, he revealed his night clothes and covered his face with a black cloth.

This was the first time Zhang Jingxuan had dressed like this. He felt his heart pounding. So it was so exciting just to be a bad person on the surface?

He laughed self-deprecatingly. This was the first time he was wearing a precious night dress! He could be considered to be really careful.

Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, Zhang Jingxuan spread out his body and headed towards the Zheng Mansion. In the darkness, it was almost impossible to see his figure clearly.

In the blink of an eye, he arrived at the edge of the Zhen Mansion. After walking for a short distance, Zhang Jingxuan discovered one thing: he was not an loner.

There were many people in front of him. There were already several night pedestrians who wanted to explore Zheng Mansion Town at night. Zhang Jingxuan carefully hid his figure and followed behind them, wanting to see what these people wanted to do.

The child's words during the day were still in his ears. It seemed that what they said about bad people was not baseless.

However, who were these people? Why did they pay a visit to Zheng Mansion Town at night?

Although these nocturnal people were wary of Zhang Jingxuan's miscellaneous studies, they were still unable to notice that there was an additional tail behind him.
