Chapter 429 Rumors are not credible
Chapter 429 Rumors are not credible
Qin Hanmo and Ni Nainai rode in the carriage for two days before finally arriving in Ling County. However, unexpectedly, although their carriage had not yet entered the city, various rumors about them had already spread throughout Ling County like a tide.
There are rumors that...
A huge, brightly colored orange cat was driving a dilapidated carriage, galloping towards Ling County. This orange cat had sharp eyes, bared fangs and claws, and wanted to eat people;
Some people also claimed to have seen a mysterious carriage without a driver. It was drifting alone on the road. Without the guidance of a driver, it was still able to move accurately towards Ling County. It was a ghost carriage, leading the way to a disaster in Ling County.
Some even went so far as to portray Qin Hanmo and Ni Nainai as evil people, saying that they possessed evil magic and would definitely bring disaster to Ling County.
Some even said with certainty that the accomplice of the legendary ghost bride was hidden in the carriage, and once it entered Ling County, it would cause a bloody storm and bring disaster to this originally peaceful and harmonious county.
During this period, Ling County was in a state of panic! The streets and alleys, and every household were filled with tension and anxiety. All kinds of bizarre rumors spread like a plague, and people's hearts were filled with fear and doubt.
Fortunately, the government did not sit idly by. In the face of this chaotic situation, the government gave the people the following explanation:
The god was obviously very wise and specially sent immortals to the earth to save Ling County and help everyone get rid of the evil spirits.
In this way, some people may still be so frightened that they dare not go out today, but on the next day they suddenly feel enlightened, as if all their fears have disappeared.
The other part was always in a state of anxiety, living in a trance, not knowing what to do. The whole Ling County spent every day in such a strange atmosphere.
Only the officials in the county government were waiting day and night for the arrival of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to bring the evil ghost bride to justice.
However, to everyone's surprise, what they received after such a long wait was not the news that the prince would come to Ling County in person, but a letter informing everyone that the prince would not come.
What was even more surprising was that the letter did not mention who would replace the prince to come to Ling County to handle affairs. This sudden change made Lord Li, the county magistrate, fall into deep worry.
Lord Li knew very well that the person coming this time must be a powerful person, but he had no idea which court official it could be.
If he accidentally offended this mysterious big shot, he would probably lose his position.
Therefore, the county government strengthened the security patrols under the pretext of protecting the lives of the people. Whether it was a sunny day or a dark and windy night, patrol teams could always be seen rushing by in the streets and alleys.
Although the patrol members had suffered a lot of losses because of the ghost bride, they still mustered up the courage to stick to their posts. After all, there were only two options for these patrol members:
One is that she was kidnapped by the horrible ghost bride, tortured and died;
The second is that they lost their lives because of their poor performance and angered their superiors.
They would rather choose the lesser of two evils and continue patrolling in the face of unknown dangers. If Guan Rong dies, his family can get some compensation...
……
Just as their carriage arrived at the gate of Ling County, the extremely conspicuous carriage was recognized by the soldiers guarding the gate at a glance. The soldiers looked at each other and realized that what was supposed to come had already arrived.
"Hurry up and inform the adults that the mysterious carriage has arrived." The captain guarding the gate said to the younger brother beside him.
"Captain, you must be careful." The soldier said worriedly.
"It's okay. There's nothing to be afraid of in broad daylight." The captain was nervous inside, but he said calmly.
……
At this time, the carriage had stopped at the gate. The gatekeeper saw that the carriage was unmanned and boldly stepped forward and said, "Get off and check."
Ni Naina and Qin Hanmo in the car were unaware of the rumors about them. After looking at each other, they got out of the car to be inspected.
This time, Ni Naina was dressed in a gorgeous purple dress, shining with a mysterious and charming light. She wore a veil as thin as a cicada's wing, revealing only a pair of smart and deep eyes.
In his arms was a chubby orange cat, which was curled up lazily, its furry body rising and falling slightly with its breathing. It was extremely cute.
Ni Naina stroked its fur gently, her movements soft and elegant, and her whole body exuded a noble and kind temperament, just like a wealthy lady.
Looking at Qin Hanmo standing aside, he skillfully put a small tuft of carefully trimmed black beard at the corner of his mouth, which added a bit of maturity and stability.
He was wearing a black long gown that perfectly showed off his slender and tall figure. In his hand was a white folding fan with an exquisite landscape painting on it, with clouds and mist lingering between the mountains and rivers, creating a profound artistic conception.
When the two stood side by side, their outfits complemented each other, it was a match made in heaven.
Ni Nainai's purple clothes and Qin Hanmo's black gown form a sharp contrast, but they are harmonious and unified;
The big orange cat in her arms and the landscape painting folding fan in his hand complement each other, full of fun and poetry. Such a perfect couple...
