Zhou Rong suddenly had a plan in his heart, and hurriedly chased after the carriage, shouting loudly while chasing: "Stop, stop, drop something." ”

The carriage slowed down only slightly at first, then accelerated again.

Zhou Rong couldn't do it, so he had to use his strength to chase after him, and finally caught up, he rushed to the front of the carriage and stretched out his hands to stop the carriage.

The coachman was in a hurry, and shouted, "Where did you come from? ”

Zhou Rong presented a hairpin to both hands, and replied breathlessly: "This is what I just picked up, I think it is very valuable, and I saw it appear in the place where your carriage passed, so I guess it should have been dropped by you." ”

The hairpin, which he had bought today when he passed by a jewellery shop in Nancheng District, was carved with a chic pink lotus flower, which his wife loved, so he bought it, and now it was an excuse to stop the carriage.

The coachman glanced at the hairpin, and was not sure, so he turned his head sideways and whispered to the man sitting in the carriage if the hairpin had been dropped.

After waiting for a while, they heard the man inside reply, "No, let him go away." ”

As soon as Zhou Rong heard it, it was Gong Ling's voice, so he bowed his head to the carriage and planted rice and said, "That should have been dropped by someone else, I'm sorry for the disturbance!"

Immediately stand to the side.

The coachman then whipped his horse and drove on.

Zhou Rong immediately climbed a big tree on the side of the road and stared at the direction of the carriage.

He saw the carriage go about two miles and then go up a mountain road, and then soon disappear into the thick shade of the mountain road.

Zhou Rong immediately chased quickly from another road in the direction of the mountain road.

The mountain road twisted and turned, from one mountain to another, Zhou Rong followed the wheels of the carriage forward, and after following the three mountains, he found that there were suddenly three forks in front of him, but the wheel traces of the carriage were gone.

He was startled, and hurried to look at himself, but saw that all around him were high mountains, and only these three roads could lead to carriages.

Well, the carriage must have gone from one of them, just to avoid attracting attention and sent someone to eliminate the traces left by the wheels of the carriage.

So Zhou Rong squatted down and carefully identified it.

The sun was about to set, and the light was already dim, so he had to keep his eyes open, and at last he noticed that the sand on the leftmost road looked like it had been sprinkled, and he chased it quickly.

After chasing for about half a mile, a small uphill mountain road appeared in front of him, and he immediately stopped.

The carriage on this small mountain road will definitely not be able to get on, so where is the carriage rested?

He searched for a long time at the foot of the mountain road but could not find it, so he decided to follow the path to look for it.

The trail is not wide and very curved, but it is easy to walk because the road and the foliage on both sides of the road have been manicured.

Zhou Rong climbed up along the winding path, the sky was getting darker and darker, but fortunately, there was still a trace of light that could make people see the road clearly, so he kept walking forward with this faint light. After walking for nearly a mile, a unique mountain villa suddenly appeared in front of me, with a high fence outside, and a sign erected at the entrance of the mountain villa, which read "Mid-Levels Plum Garden".

"Mid-levels Plum Garden"? He recited it silently in his heart, and he did not know whose plum garden it was.

He took a few more steps forward, only to find that the plum garden was heavily guarded on all sides, and now because it was dark, the garden was lit up inside and outside.

In order to prevent them from discovering it, Zhou Rong hurriedly hid in the grass on the side of the road, while thinking about the purpose of Gong Ling's visit.

Could it be that the queen Liu is on vacation here? It's just that this is a plum garden, obviously for plum appreciation, what is the queen doing here at this time?

He knew that there was a summer resort in Shuguo, which was in the basin of Wulin Mountain, and if he wanted to go to the summer, vacation or recuperate, the mountain villa on the other side of Wulin Mountain was the best choice for this season.

Zhou Rong couldn't understand it for a while, so he planned to ambush there and observe for a few days.

About a quarter of an hour later, the gate of the plum garden slowly opened, and the palace spirit, accompanied by two palace maids and ten guards, walked out of the door briskly and walked down the mountain.

Behind them, the gate of the plum garden was shut.

Zhou Rong thought about it, and immediately moved slowly along the grass, quietly following Gong Ling and his party.

Gong Ling and his party walked very fast when they went down the mountain, and they didn't say a word, so Zhou Rong followed him far away and didn't get a little bit of breath, however, just as he was about to turn back to the plum garden, he suddenly heard Gong Ling say quietly: "If he makes trouble again, I'm afraid he will have to invite Wen Yatou here." ”

One of the palace maids who followed her immediately nodded.

Gong Ling looked around, and then got into the carriage.

Zhou Rong pondered Gong Ling's words several times, and felt more and more that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure it out for a while, so he had to turn back to the vicinity of the plum garden with a stomach full of questions.

He found a large tree where he could hide and see the inside of the plum garden, and then arranged the branches into a comfortable chair shape, so that he could sit comfortably on it and observe the whole plum garden.

He found that the plum orchard was full of dense plum trees, and only a few roofs could be faintly seen through the light. He stood up, looked wide-eyed, pricked up his ears and listened, and found that no one was moving or talking.

Well, there shouldn't be many people living in it, and it's not children.

Zhou Rong then sat down and closed his eyes to analyze - Gong Ling is the queen's personal female official, so it is very likely that Gong Ling came here at the queen's behest, and the people who live in the plum garden obviously did not really come voluntarily, otherwise they would not make trouble. So, did the people in this offend the queen, or did the queen want to hide it?

If he offended the queen, who would offend the queen? Could it be the crown prince or the second prince of Shuguo? No, the crown prince of Shuguo is the crown prince of the country, the queen's biological son, even if he is willful, it is impossible for the queen to hide him here, not to mention that the prince has grown up and has the support of the emperor, and the queen does not dare to do this at all. But if it is the second prince of Akenofu, it is very likely.

Thinking of this, Zhou Rong suddenly became calm, and really wanted to jump in from the roof immediately to see what was going on, but he was alone at this time, and there was no external response, in case someone found out, he might not even have a chance to escape, so he finally held back and decided to continue to observe for a few days before making a decision.

It's just that Wu Yichang will definitely be flustered and worried if he doesn't see him go back, but with Wu Yichang's character, he won't be completely messed up because of this, so he didn't think about it anymore.
