Chapter 38: The Secret of Water Cloud City

Originally, Su Ran thought that he would give them a house in the village, but who knew that Chijin drove the carriage and walked up the mountain.

After passing a quiet bamboo forest path, a house came into view.

Viewed from the side, it is a triple courtyard unique to ancient times, with a large courtyard in front of it, enclosed by a one-person high earthen wall, and a large wooden gate in front.

Such a house, fortunately, is not too bad.

When the sound of a carriage was heard, the wooden door had already opened from the inside, and out came the black water.

Seeing Beitang Jing and Su Ran coming down, they hurriedly saluted respectfully, "Childe, madam." ”

Beitang Jing nodded at him, and then took Su Ran into the house.

After entering the courtyard, Su Ran found that this courtyard was really good.

There is a large willow tree on the left side of the courtyard with a swing under the willow tree, and next to it there is a round stone table and several round stone benches.

On the right, a small garden is circled by a fence, in which all kinds of flowers and plants are planted, and at this time some of the flowers have already bloomed, and the whole yard is full of fragrance.

In the far corner of the small garden, there was a tree that looked like a withered tree, and some of its branches had protruded from the courtyard wall.

"What kind of tree is that?"

"Mrs. Hui, it's a plum tree. Chijin explained.

Plum blossom trees, when it snows in winter, plum blossoms are in full bloom, isn't it beautiful?

In just an instant, Su Ran fell in love with this small courtyard.

"You guys have something to do, you go busy, I'll swing on the swing. ”

Heishui and Chijin next to him wanted to speak a few times and stopped, but Su Ran saw all of them in his eyes, this was obviously something to tell Beitang Jing, but Beitang Jing had been following him, and they didn't dare to say anything.

Therefore, Su Ran was very kind, waved his hand very knowingly, and then went to swing quickly.

But who knows, Beitang Jing did not enter the room, but walked to the stone table and sat down, tapping his fingers on the tabletop.

"Say it. ”

Chijin and Heishui glanced at each other, and they understood what the master meant, and the master was telling them that they should not treat the lady as an outsider.

"Shuiyun City is very strange, Orange Wood and Wei Chi went to investigate by themselves, but accidentally Orange Wood was arrested, but I also learned that in addition to the army sent by the imperial court, Shuiyun City seems to have another army. ”

"Who is the general of the army in Shuiyun City, and who is the city lord of Shuiyun City?"

"The general stationed in the border is the distant nephew of the squire of the military department, named Tan Xue. As for the city lord, because Shuiyun City is the fief of Prince Rong, there is no city lord in Shuiyun City. ”

"Uncle Rong?" Beitang Jing tapped his fingers on the table and stopped.

Su Ran also stopped swinging at this time, "Who is Prince Rong?"

"The eleventh brother of my father. ”

"Oh, you go on. ”

"Hmm. Beitang Jing nodded and motioned for them to continue.

"It's just that Prince Rong seems to have disappeared recently, but the entire Prince's Mansion is locked with news, if it weren't for Wei Chibo going a few times, finding out that something was wrong, and sneaking in to investigate, he would have found out. ”

"Uncle Rong is missing, is there any definite news?"

The two shook their heads, and Heishui said, "This will not be known until Wei Chibo returns." ”

"Then do you know that the bandits who kidnapped me and Beitang Jing are from that mountain?

Su Ranke remembered that there were quite a few soldiers in that gold mine.

"Mrs. Hui, this matter, Wei Chifu has already gone to investigate. ”

"That's right. Su Ran suddenly jumped off the swing as if he thought of something, and looked around vigilantly.
