EBE Chapter 519 Granny Ma
Chapter 519 Granny Ma
Jinglan said: "Since you are not enemies, we will not hide it from you. The three of us are not his enemies either. We are here to seek help from General Xuan."
"What help?"
"It's to save people, many, many people. But this matter is too important, so we can only tell General Xuan in person. Please forgive me."
"Then how can I believe whether what you said is true or not?"
Jinglan took out the visiting card that she had written long ago and said, "This is the visiting card we wrote to General Xuan. It is absolutely not pretentious. Besides, General Xuan's martial arts are so high that we don't have the ability to harm him."
The old woman nodded and said, "That's true." Without asking Jinglan for permission, she took the visiting card from her hand, opened it and read it.
As he looked at her, he said, "'Old acquaintances from the same dormitory'? He was originally from Lixuan Island and only came to Jinyang City two years ago. How come he has old acquaintances like you? Could it be that you are also from Lixuan Island?"
Jinglan said, "We are certainly not from Lixuan Island. You can see that I am in disguise, and you should also understand that we cannot show our true identities. But we will tell General Xuan our true identities in person." Pointing at Chu Xiaomu, she said, "My second brother is indeed a good friend of General Xuan who has known each other for a long time."
The old woman looked at Chu Xiaomu doubtfully for a few times and found that his eyes were clear and he did not look like a bad person who liked to hurt people. The woman dressed as a man had eyes as clear as autumn water and was not a cunning person; and the little girl in the yellow dress was even more beautiful and had nothing to do with the bad person.
He said, "General Xuan is very careful in his actions. It is indeed difficult for you outsiders to find him. If you attract the attention of the Golden Sword Sect, you may end up in jail."
When the three heard this, they knew that she was definitely not sent by the Golden Sword Sect, and they were very happy.
Chu Xiaomu asked: "Old man, so you and General Xuan are also very good friends?"
The old woman glared at him and said unhappily, "Don't call me old lady anymore!"
The three of them thought so too. She was originally a young girl, but somehow she turned into an old woman in an instant. But everyone loves beauty and everyone wants to be young. Of course, calling her an old woman would make her unhappy.
The old woman continued, "At night, you...you can call me 'Grandma Ma'..."
The three of them looked at each other and thought, what's the difference between this and calling you old man?
Chu Xiaomu asked again: "Grandma Ma, where should we go to find General Xuan?"
Granny Ma became alert again and said, "You...you don't have to ask me anymore. I...I will never tell you even if I die!"
The three of them looked at each other again, thinking that this person was a young and beautiful woman at one moment and an old and frail woman at another moment. No matter what, it would be difficult to force her. And she said that Xuanying's residence was very hidden and difficult to find. What should they do?
Chu Xiaomu also became a little angry and said, "You sneaked into the guest house to assassinate me. If I hadn't heard the noise, I would have been stabbed to death in bed by now. If you don't tell us where Xuanying lives, I won't let you go!"
Granny Ma suddenly became very excited and said, "You...you all are bad people, evil people! He is the only one in the world...he is the only one who is good to me...let me go!"
Fortunately, Chu Xiaomu's room was at the innermost side of the guesthouse, and although the four people were talking loudly, it did not attract the attention of the innkeepers or other guests staying in the hotel.
As Granny Ma spoke, she climbed toward the window. However, she was so weak that she fell down and fainted before she could stand up completely.
The three of them lit the candles, carefully carried her to the bed, covered her with a quilt and let her have a good night's rest.
Jinglan and Xiaoying also knew that it was very inconvenient for Chu Xiaomu to be alone in a room with them, so they did not leave. They each sat on a chair, with their hands on the edge of the table and endured the night.
The candlelight flickered and then dimmed. Chu Xiaomu picked it up again and again. Suddenly, he heard the clear sound of a gong "clang clang clang" coming from the street far away outside the guesthouse. It was the sound of the time in Jinyang City. It was now the next day's noon hour.
Jinglan walked over and looked at Granny Ma.
Chu Xiaomu asked quickly: "How is it?"
Jinglan shook her head and said, "She hasn't woken up yet."
Chu Xiaomu said: "If it doesn't work, I'll go to the spiritual realm."
Jinglan immediately said, "Brother Xiaomu, you absolutely can't do that!" Her tone was extremely stern.
Chu Xiaomu asked: "Why?"
"Just listen to me. You can't use the spirit-questioning technique in Jinyang City!" Jinglan had a mask on her face, but Chu Xiaomu could imagine that her expression must be extremely serious and would not tolerate any questioning.
Chu Xiaomu wanted to ask more, but there was a thumping sound coming up the stairs outside the house. Someone was walking in this direction. There was also the sound of metal armor rubbing against each other. It was obvious that the people coming were soldiers from Jinyang City.
I heard one person say, "Are the two people you're talking about living in the inner rooms?"
Another person said, "Reply... Reply to General, I... I dare not deceive you. I felt strange when they asked for a room yesterday. Two grown men actually asked for one room each... I kindly reminded them, but the shorter man was so aggressive and domineering. It's really unreasonable..." It was the voice of the waiter of the Phnom Penh Inn.
The man said, "Really? Why didn't you report it to the police earlier? Why did you have to wait until we investigated it?"
The shop assistant said, "No... It's not that I didn't report it to the police. It's true that I was too busy yesterday. I wanted to report it to the police as soon as the sun rose..."
The man said, "If we arrest them and ruin your master's business, will you curse us behind their backs?"
The shop assistant said, "How dare they scold your general? These people are not good people at first glance. If the general arrests them, it will be perfect... That kid actually dared to yell at me, it's really outrageous!"
The man said: "That's good..."
Chu Xiaomu and the other two couldn't help but worry. From what these people said, they asked everyone they met on the street where General Xuan lived yesterday. It seems that they not only attracted the attention of this strange Granny Ma, but also the soldiers of Jinyang City. These people were obviously coming for Chu Xiaomu and Xiaoying.
The "junye" mentioned by the shop assistant is a soldier from Jinyang City, and is likely a member of the Golden Sword Sect. I haven't found Xuanying yet, but I've been targeted by these people as soon as I arrived. It's really a headache.
Xiaoying couldn't help but lean towards Chu Xiaomu and asked in a low voice: "Brother Xiaomu, what should we do now?"
