"Cheng, you're back!"
When Sun Cheng changed his clothes and followed Zhu Dachang to the Bliss, Second Great Uncle smiled.
He no longer addressed Sun Cheng as 'Sun Clan's brat' anymore. Instead, he treated Sun Cheng as his own nephew, and his attitude became much more intimate.
"Second Granduncle, you were looking for me?"
Sun Cheng asked as he placed the jar of sweet potato yaki beside him.
Second Great Uncle was about to speak when he suddenly saw Zhu Dachang standing at the side. He could not help but frown.
"Zhu Dachang, send this jar of wine to the cellar. Remember, don't drink it secretly!"
Although Zhu Dachang was straightforward, it did not mean that he was stupid.
When he saw that his second uncle wanted to send him away, he immediately refused.
"Second Granduncle, you can give me wine anytime. Why do you have to give it to me now? I think you just want to send me away and not let me know about those soldiers!”
Seeing that his voice was getting louder and louder, Second Granduncle's expression changed slightly.
He glared at Zhu Dachang and was about to reprimand him.
Sun Cheng interrupted and took the initiative to help ease the atmosphere."Second Granduncle, the more you don't want him to know about Brother Zhu's personality, the more he'll feel like a cat scratching his heart. Who knows, he might do something to find out the truth.”
"It's said that it's better to be isolated than blocked. Second Uncle, why don't you let Big Brother Zhu stay too? It was not a bad thing to see, listen, and think more!”
Second Great Uncle thought for a moment, his gaze constantly shifting between Sun Cheng and Zhu Dachang.
After a while, he sighed and glared at Zhu Dachang." You're already so old, yet you're still so impatient." If you had half of Cheng's brain, I would be able to leave in peace!”
Sun Cheng did not expect that after he transmigrated, he would become the child of another family that other parents talked about.
He revealed an awkward but polite smile and remained silent.
Zhu Dachang was shameless. He was not angry even after being reprimanded by Second Granduncle.
"Second Granduncle, I think Cheng is right. Don't you know my temper? The more you don't tell me, the more I can't help but investigate!”
"See what you can do!"
Second Great Uncle was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, but he still listened to Sun Cheng's persuasion.
He could only pinch his nose and snort coldly,""Alright, alright, then stay and listen!”
After saying that, he looked at Sun Cheng again.
"Cheng, I heard that you went out to stock up a few days ago and weren't in town. So I'll tell you briefly!”
Sun Cheng nodded and waited patiently for his second granduncle's explanation.
After all, Second Granduncle was the most respected person in the town. He had connections with the mayor and other influential people in the town.
The information he had obtained was far from what Uncle Yang could compare to.
"The soldiers in the town are said to be from Guizhou Prefecture. It was said that they had come to Shangxiang Town to choose a good piece of land for a big shot to be buried!”
"After hearing this news, I was also very puzzled.”
"When I was young, I often wandered around Fukang County. I went around Shangxiang Town for a hundred miles, but there weren't many good places with good feng shui nearby.”
"Because of curiosity, the mayor said that the soldiers encountered something dirty and asked me to help take a look, so I followed them.”
"In the end, when they arrived, the mayor had just mentioned it to the leader, and he was chased out in a rage.”
"I was curious at that time, so I took a few glances. Those soldiers might have encountered some demon!”
Sun Cheng listened to him seriously, and his guess was basically confirmed.
This group of soldiers that suddenly appeared in Shangxiang Town should have appeared almost a month ago.
The two Puppet Sect disciples that Sun Heng had met in the Lost Ox Valley were the subordinates of Tabler.
They had come to Shangxiang Town to choose a burial ground for Tybel.
Sun Cheng actually didn't want to get involved in this matter. Not to mention the Silver-Armored Corpse that the other party had plotted against, it would take at least decades to refine.
After the other party left, he wanted to quietly get rid of the corpses buried in the corpse raising ground. Wouldn't it be easy? Why did he have to fight to the death with the other party?
Secondly, Sun Cheng didn't really want to have anything to do with the Manchu royal family.
For cultivators, getting involved in too much would affect their cultivation, not to mention being involved in an incident related to the royal family.
Therefore, after thinking about it, he vaguely reminded Second Uncle,"Second Granduncle, I went to stock up a few days ago and heard some news.”
Second Great Uncle was old but not old at heart. He also had the heart to gossip.
"Cheng, what news did you hear?" he urged.”
Zhu Dachang also pricked up his ears. He loved to hear such legendary gossip.
"I heard that one of Emperor Xianfeng's younger brothers, Tai Baylor, was kicked to Guizhou Prefecture because he offended the Empress Dowager. There was news that Tai Baylor was in critical condition and people were looking for him everywhere.”
"Do you think that choosing this Fengshui treasure land has something to do with him?”
Second Great Uncle suddenly understood, but he frowned slightly and shook his head to deny Sun Cheng's guess.""That doesn't make sense. By right, Prince Tai is a relative of the royal family. Even if he was banished, he would probably be sent back to the capital for burial after his death.”
Sun Cheng naturally knew that this was the result of the efforts of the Puppet Sect's eldest senior brother.
"Perhaps the Empress Dowager's anger hasn't subsided after being worried for so many years by Tabelle's family!"”
" This..." Second Granduncle didn't know what to say.
After all, the Empress Dowager's reputation among the people was no different from that of a demon.
The legend of demons wreaking havoc in the imperial court in the West Mountain had been circulating in the capital since the Qianlong period.
It was only during the Tongzhi period that the news spread throughout the country.
Even though Big Head Yuan had yet to become famous and only had the West Mountain Nine Ruthless, they were still short of a toad.
After hearing Sun Cheng's words and knowing that it was related to the imperial family, Second Granduncle immediately had some misgivings and did not want to care about this matter anymore.
However, he thought about it and said,"The one who killed those soldiers should be that raccoon in the Forest of Confusion. I've heard of this Cat Demon before, and I've gone to look for it a few times in my early years. However, it had cultivated for many years and eaten dead meat for decades. It had already gained intelligence and was very cunning. It would run away if it felt that something was wrong. It was very difficult to catch it!”
Sun Cheng had seen the raccoon dog once before and had almost fallen for its trick. He also felt that he could not let a demonic cat demon wreak havoc.
He nodded immediately." Second Granduncle, why don't the three of us find some time to go to the Forest of Confusion and subdue that Catwoman?"”
"Alright, alright!"
Before Second Granduncle could agree, the young and aggressive Zhu Dachang could not help but clap his hands and cheer.
Second Great Uncle glared at him angrily, but after thinking about it, he nodded and agreed.
"Alright, that raccoon dog has been a spirit for decades. If he allowed it to cause trouble there, who knew how many more people would be robbed in the future. Let's set it for two days. I can take the opportunity to prepare some things.”
"Alright, after you prepare the things, ask Big Brother Zhu to call me!”
