Records of Mysterious Things in the Southern Dynasties

Chapter 191: Team A and New Mission

Fortunately, they ran fast and were not caught, so the four of them escaped the disaster.

After returning to the Chongguang Chuang barracks, Yang Zhong led the three of them to their A team to pay a visit to the team leader and deputy team leader.

"What, we still have a team leader?" Chen Baxian asked in surprise.

"How fresh." Yang Zhong said: "Why can't the A-team have a captain?"

"I thought there was no captain, and deputy captain Zu was the boss." Chen Baxian said with a smile.

"That's about right..." Yang Zhong sighed, pushed open the door of the A-Team's duty room and said, "You'll know once you come in."

~~
As soon as the door opened, the strong smell of alcohol almost pushed Ren Yuan out.

He calmed down and saw that the duty room was in a mess. A little old man with a red nose and a red face was lying drunk on the bed holding a wine jar. Under the bed, there were many empty wine jars lying in all directions.

Deputy Captain Zu Anzu was scolding the old man, "Old Hai, you are so capable. Now you drink not only at night but also in the morning? Are you planning to get drunk from morning to night and drink yourself to death?!"

"Hey, little ancestor, this is wrong... Haven't you heard of 'drunkenness leads to life and dreams of death'? So if people want to live, they have to drink and get drunk. Only when they are drunk can they survive." The old man argued with a big tongue, while looking at the person who came in with drunken eyes:

"Hey, Ah Zhong is here. Come quickly and have a drink with our team leader."

He was so drunk that his eyes could not focus and he did not notice that there were three people behind Yang Zhong.

Zu An, however, looked Ren Yuan and the other two up and down and couldn't help but praise them, "Well, not bad, not bad, they look like decent people."

Then he couldn't help but tell the truth: "Ah, you three are finally here. I've been waiting for you like three cows and horses for so long. Seeing the character of our team leader, all the cows and horses with a little ambition have run away. Only I, a foul-mouthed person who doesn't like anyone, and Yang Zhong, the captured prisoner, can't leave."

"..." Although the three of them knew that Zuan could not tell lies, the truth was damn hard to hear.

"The leader finally gave us some new members? That's great. Come on, let's drink at the welcoming banquet!" Captain Hai suddenly sat up.

“Drink your head, you old man, are you going to die?” Zu An cursed, “Yang Zhong, take away all his wine and money. You are not allowed to buy him any more!”

"Oh." Yang Zhong responded obediently and quickly took away all the wine jars.

Captain Hai was naturally unhappy, mumbling something like "Who is the captain anyway?" and "He's the opposite of Tian Gang."

"How dare you say that? I've been taking care of everything for you these past two years." Zu An angrily said, "I'm such a jerk!"

"Let's go, ignore this old drunkard." He called the four people out and said, "The owner of the building wants us to come over to discuss something."

~~
Coming out of the duty room, Zuan let out a long breath.

"Fuck it, I really owe him."

"Deputy Captain Zu, don't you know how to keep your word? Encourage the captain and ask him to stop drinking." Chen Baxian gave him advice.

"You think I haven't used it? It only lasts for a day or two, and he starts drinking again in a few days." Zuan said depressedly: "The captain is so smart, my promise has limited effect on him."

"Is the price of the six orifices so serious?" Ren Yuan and others said uneasily.

"It's true that our captain is addicted to alcohol. But he became a drunkard many years ago. Although he couldn't live without alcohol at that time, he didn't reach the level of alcoholism like this." Zuan sighed:

"Well, actually he was not like this originally. Back then, he was like an elder brother to us and took good care of us. When I was first exiled here, I was so depressed that I wanted to commit suicide, but he saved me. After that, he lived and ate with me for a whole month, and even invited me to that place to have in-depth and simple heart-to-heart talks... He helped me get out of the dead end." "Ah, has the team suffered a blow?" Ren Yuan asked softly.

"Yes, a fatal blow." Zuan nodded and whispered, "Three years ago, he led the team to carry out a secret mission, but he was the only one who came back from the entire team. After that, the team leader never recovered.

"Don't we still have you?" Chen Baxian said.

"I stayed behind that time." Zuan rolled his eyes at him.

As they were talking, the five people came to the owner's duty room and knocked on the door, and the Fifth Dimension asked them to come in.

~~
The owner of the building is on duty in the room.

Diwuwei looked at Ren Yuan and the other two, who were dressed in ghost swordsman attire and holding the hilts of the imperial swords, and couldn't help but smile like an auntie and said, "Well, very good, it's true that heroes emerge from youth."

"Thank you for your great help, Master. I will serve you wholeheartedly." Chen Baxian was very tactful and expressed his gratitude immediately.

"Ah..." The fifth dimension was stunned, obviously having forgotten something.

"He's referring to the nine-hundred-yuan reward you gave him." Nangong came in from the next room and said.

"Oh, that." The Fifth Dimension smiled and said, "You're welcome. I think your level is too low, so I want to help you improve your strength. Who is your real life?"

"A Yuan helped me take a look and said it was Zhurong, the god of fire." Chen Baxian replied.

"Haha, that's a good deal." The Fifth Dimension said happily, "We have a lot of strange magical powers, but few of them are purely offensive."

"What about you two, A Yuan?" Nangong asked Ren Yuan and A Yao.

"Senior sister, there is nothing. It should be Yinglong on my side." Ren Yuan replied.

"Yinglong, that should be the same as the owner of the building." Nangong nodded.

"Wow, Yuan, you are going to be forgetful too." The fifth dimension looked at him sympathetically.

"The price has no necessary connection with magical powers, it only has to do with one's own habits. It will either magnify your shortcomings or make you go from one extreme to another." Nangong shook his head and said, "The owner of the building is always confused, so he forgets."

"A Yuan's price should not be forgetfulness. As for what it is, you will know after using your magical powers a few times." Nangong said seriously, "Okay, let's start the meeting."

"Okay, everyone, take a seat." The Fifth Dimension nodded obediently. After the five people sat down, he said to Nangong: "You talk, we listen."

Nangong said with a tired look: "This is what happened. Although our company has killed Donghun Hou, the culprit behind the scenes has not been caught yet, so the emperor ordered General Chen to thoroughly investigate the theft of Donghun Hou's tomb and find the culprit as soon as possible!"

"Hasn't it been announced that the organization that robbed Donghunhou's tomb was the 'Ming Gui' organization?" Ren Yuan asked.

"This is what the emperor meant - to put all the blame on the Northern Dynasty spies. Firstly, it will make the court look better, and secondly, it can paralyze the real mastermind behind the scenes." Nangong explained.

"General Chen believes that Xiao Baoyin has accomplices in the court, and their status is not low." The Fifth Dimension said softly.

"Of course. The one who could make officials at all levels in South Xuzhou turn a deaf ear and even close down the Imperial Mausoleum Guards must be a very important person." Zu An sneered and said, "It's a pity that when investigating a big shot, there are many taboos. You dare not investigate this, you can't ask that, you are restricted and it's annoying."

"Zuan." Nangong frowned and said, "Even if it's the truth, you can't just talk nonsense."
