Chapter Seventy-One: Tracking the Tryst

Half an hour later, at the mouth of the river in the mountain behind the Hangji Temple, in the boundless darkness, a sheepskin raft suddenly appeared, and the people in it were all black, and there were no lanterns, at first glance I thought it was an unpiloted sheepskin raft floating from nowhere.

The sheepskin raft suddenly accelerated, and soon came to the opposite bank, paused, and then the two men disembarked from the raft and landed on the shore, where the raft was pushed into the reeds on the shore and hidden.

A crisp, short whistle sounded, not loud, but quite clear. The two men in black glanced at each other, and quickly walked towards the light not far away.

The light came from a lantern hanging from the carriage not far away, and two men in black walked in front of the carriage, and one of them called softly: "Sister Ding." ”

The person sitting on the wheel of the carriage responded with a smile, it was Ding Lingling, she had arrived as agreed, and had been waiting in place.

"Sister Ding, thank you for your hard work. One of them was dressed in black, and his voice was like a clear spring dingdong, which was very pleasant to the ear. She raised her head under the reflection of the lantern, her face covered in a black scarf, revealing two big eyes that kept turning, flashing with wisdom, who else would it be if it wasn't Gu Zhirong?

Ding Lingling looked at her, couldn't hide the worry in her heart, and couldn't help but say: "Rong'er, I heard that you have been making a lot of prickly heat recently, and even the Imperial Medical Pavilion has been dispatched, how is it now, are you better?"

Gu Zhirong smiled and took off the black scarf that covered his face, and raised his head to let Ding Lingling see: "Sister Ding, take a look, am I disfigured?"

Ding Lingling looked at it seriously for a while, and said with a smile: "It's really stupid to be a sister, and you even forgot that Rong'er originally knew the art of Qihuang." I think this time, I'm afraid that those old horsemen in the Taiyi Pavilion have fallen for you, right?"

Gu Zhirong smiled and covered his face with the black scarf again, shook his head and said: "The strong have their own strong hands, and a mountain is higher than a mountain." I just took advantage of the old eyes of the old men of the Taiyi Pavilion, so I took advantage of the loophole, if they looked at me a few more times, maybe I really wore it. ”

Cai Qing smiled and said: "It's better to hide it, isn't it?" At that time, the slave maid saw that the respected curator of the Imperial Doctor Pavilion Hu Taiyi was also here, and when she saw him with a white beard and that focused look, the slave maid's heart was almost scared to death, and her heart almost jumped out. ”

Gu Zhirong poked her head: "Just your guts, why do you have to follow me out tonight?"

Cai Qing grinned and said, "Anyway, the slave maid thinks that if you follow the young lady, you won't be afraid of anything." ”

Gu Zhirong smiled, thinking of Imperial Doctor Hu's expression when he came to see the doctor, his heart became slightly heavy.

Imperial Physician Hu is the most famous imperial physician today, and has been immersed in medical skills for decades, which would be impossible without some real kung fu. The allergy symptoms that she made with two herbs that looked like prickly heat should have been impossible to hide from the profound medical doctor Hu Taiyi. But she obviously saw that his gray eyebrows were only slightly twisted, and she didn't say anything, and went straight to prescribe medicine. This puzzled her?

Now that you can see it, why don't you expose her?

Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind: Could it be that that Doctor Hu was also a member of the huge organization behind the clear sky, so he secretly helped her?

Seeing that she was deep in thought, Ding Lingling hurriedly pulled her: "You master and servant don't quarrel, get in the car quickly, it will take about an hour to go to Bitan Village." ”

So the master and servant got into the carriage, and the carriage moved forward, but there was no crisp "da-da" sound of the horse's hooves, obviously the horse's four hooves were wrapped in cloth, so there was no sound.

Ding Lingling seemed to be particularly familiar with this area, and approached the shortcut, and half an hour later, Gu Zhirong and the others arrived at Bitan Village.

This is a small village in the north of the city, hidden in a lush locust forest, with about two or three hundred people. It was the middle of the night, and the village was so dark that not a single dog barking could be heard. Gu Zhirong was a little surprised, Ding Lingling said: "This village is different from other places, people here raise birds, but they don't raise dogs. ”

Gu Zhirong listened carefully, and sure enough, he could occasionally hear some small and broken sounds made by some birds that refused to sleep in the middle of the night.

Without a dog warning, it would be much easier for them to do things.

"Sister Ding, this is a girl of mine called Snow Goose, the drawings drawn, you can take a look. Gu Zhirong handed the drawings in his hand to Ding Lingling.

Ding Lingling seemed to be very familiar with this area, and only glanced at the drawings drawn by the snow goose that Gu Zhirong handed him, and drove the carriage three times and two times to the location of the snow goose's cousin's aunt marked in the picture.

Gu Zhirong was very surprised, and smiled gratefully at Ding Lingling, with a faint look of judgment in his eyes.

The third watch has passed, and the fourth watch has not yet arrived. This was the time when Snow Goose had heard from her cousin that Abi had gone out at night.

The three of them crouched quietly behind a broken wall on the left, the night was dim, and there was a huge locust tree in front of them, so that the people outside could not see them, but they could see the situation outside.

The moonlight is cold, and the white glow spreads. Occasionally, one or two insects whispered, but they disappeared silently in an instant, and even the insects must have fallen asleep at this hour, right?

Just when the silence seemed to be unpopular, the door of a house on the opposite side of the broken wall suddenly heard the sound of pulling the bolt, and the three of them were in high spirits, and then the door came with a "squeak", and the door was carefully pushed open. A head poked out and looked left and right for a while, as if to check if there was anyone around. Seeing that the surroundings were so silent that they couldn't even hear the sound of insects, he was relieved and walked out with peace of mind.

It is a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, with small eyes and a flat nose, a slender and tall figure, and a faint slender demeanor can be seen when she walks.

It's Abi.

Today's Abi is no longer the Abi who wore a ring skirt in the past. Under the white moonlight, she wore a gown with a true purple embroidered hundred butterfly pattern brocade face, an apricot yellow pleated skirt, and an ingot bun on her head.

"It seems that this Abi has received other people's money, but he is really developed. Gu Zhirong thought secretly in his heart, and there was a hard sneer on his lips. She hates the betrayer of her the most, and uses her sympathy to take revenge. Today, she wants to let this person who once betrayed her taste the bitter fruits of betrayal.

Abi walked forward quickly, the road didn't look very clear, she didn't hit the lantern, she turned around twice and arrived at the door of a house by the stream, bent her finger and tapped it three times rhythmically.

As if waiting for a long time, the door suddenly opened, and a big hand stretched out, grabbed her, and dragged her in. The moment the door was closed, a man's voice came from inside: "Baby, why did you come here at this time? ”
