Hearing that the jailer captain said that the housekeeper was taken away and went south to Hangzhou, the two couldn't help but feel anxious for a while, in order to avoid long nights and dreams, the two tacitly performed supreme light skills and quickly ran to the city gate. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In these days, Li Tianqi and Lu Linlang have been inquiring about Hangzhou, so the general direction is known to both of them, and there is only one official road, which is a stone road three zhang wide, so they will not get lost. Since Suzhou and Hangzhou are connected, it will be much faster to take the land route than the land and water, so the two bought two horses in Suzhou City and galloped to Hangzhou.

Fang out of the Suzhou city gate more than five miles away, the two of them smelled the smell of fire, nitrate and sulfur in the air, several lightning bolts illuminated the sky in an instant, you can see the dark clouds in the distance, is surging, the two couldn't help but spur the horse galloping, the torch in the hand was also blown almost extinguished.

Ran out for several miles, "Boom! There was a loud bang, and suddenly a bolt of lightning fell from the sky, struck a big tree next to the official road, the big tree broke into several sections, fell on the official road, the fire rose to the sky, and the horses of the two were so frightened that they suddenly raised their front hooves, and almost did not throw the two off their backs.

Before the two of them could come to their senses, the two horses turned into the woods next to the official road.

A strange head can be seen floating in the air.

"Look!" Li Tianqi shouted fearlessly, and the horses had already rushed towards the strange head when he shouted, and by the light of the skyrocketing fire, there seemed to be some scattered clothes and a golden mask in the woods.

"Phew! Sigh! Li Tianqi and Lu Linlang tightened the reins, and they finally controlled the frightened horses after repeated tosses.

Li Tianqi, who was running in front, stopped gently, raised the torch in his hand and shone on the scattered clothes on the ground, the clothes were all blue cloaks, but there was a golden mask that might have been hung by the wind, hung on the branches, and swayed with the wind.

"Isn't this the mask of Captain Yang?" Li Tianqi said in surprise.

"Then how did they leave all their clothes here?" Lu Linlang asked, she suddenly raised her eyes to look at Li Tianqi, and said, "Could it be that someone pretended to be them and went in and took the housekeeper away?" ”

"Linlang, you're right. That's exactly what I thought. It seems that the person who came had premeditated, maybe the housekeeper really knew some inside information. Li Tianqi looked at the sky, "Let's go quickly, the heavy rain is about to fall, hurry up and find a place to shelter from the rain." ”

"Okay." Lu Linlang said.

The two twisted the horse's head again, ran back to the official road, and continued to run all the way in the direction of Hangzhou, at this moment it had fallen heavy rain, extinguished the torches, the two had to put the torches in the bag on the horse's back, because there was no torch lighting, the two did not move fast, but very embarrassed.

With another flash of lightning, they finally discovered that there seemed to be a huge courtyard in the woods in front of them, a mile away from the official road. When I got closer, I saw that it was an abandoned village, covered with cobwebs, leaking air everywhere, and the two gates were open inward, and there were thousands of holes. The hall facing the main gate was pitch black.

"Let's rest here for a while." Li Tianqi wiped the rain from his face, and said loudly to Lu Linlang, falling off the horse's back as he spoke.

"Good!" Lu Linlang also turned over and dismounted.

"You go in first." Li Tianqi took the reins she handed over and quickly tied them to a broken log.

Lu Linlang put his hands on his head to block the rain and dodged into the hall.

By the time Li Tianqi came in with the packages of the two, Lu Linlang had already lit a bonfire in the hall.

The hall is full of dust, there are still many traces of snakes, insects, rats and ants, and some people's footprints, presumably passers-by have also stayed here, the tables and chairs in the hall are in tatters, have been demolished a lot, some only have frames, some have left a handrail, should have been used to burn fire.

The place where the offering table was placed was a tattered screen that had fallen down.

Rainwater is still dripping in many places, and it has fallen into disrepair for a long time.

"Fortunately, the package with the clothes was placed in a snakeskin bag and did not get wet, so hurry up and change into dry clothes, otherwise it will be uncomfortable to get sick." Li Tianqi put the package next to the fire and glanced at Lu Linlang, who was soaking wet.

"Here?" Lu Linlang's clothes were soaked all over her body, clinging to her body, she was already very shy, and when she happened to make eye contact with Li Tianqi at this time, her face was even redder.

There is no place to change her clothes, Li Tianqi suddenly noticed this problem, and his eyes fell on the broken screen.

He walked over to the screen and shook his hands slightly, finding that it was still sturdy and would not fall apart. Moved the screen to the corner of the wall, and a few screen pages opened, but it was okay, but there were a lot of cracks and some holes, and he saw that there were a lot of dead grass and fallen leaves on the ground, so he picked them up and plugged those holes.

Lu Linlang looked at him secretly, feeling happy in his heart.

The two took turns changing into dry clothes behind the screen, then stretched out the drenched coats and clothes, and built a fire to dry the clothes.

After getting everything done, Li Tianqi was able to have time to think about what he saw and heard today, whether the golden mask he saw in the forest was the same as Yang Duwei and his gang that he met after coming out of Wanhuaxiang Mansion today?

Lu Linlang saw that Li Tianqi was thinking about something, so he didn't bother him, and occasionally used a piece of residual wood to pull the red-hot charcoal, and the fire suddenly became bigger.

"Linlang, I understand." Li Tianqi suddenly spoke, breaking the silence in the room.

"Brother Apocalypse, what did you think of?" Lu Linlang looked at him expectantly.

"I think this morning, after you were taken away by the masked woman, I came out of the mansion, and I saw a group of people pretending to be Yang Duwei and the three of them, that is, the colleagues of Nahuo Duwei, they must have put on the blue cloak and the gold and silver mask for some purpose, and they sneaked into the mansion and took away the housekeeper of the ten thousand families, and after they succeeded, they came here, and took off those disguised clothes for some reason."

"Yang Duwei three?" Lu Linlang had no impression of them.

Li Tianqi looked at Lu Linlang and said, "Well, Yang Duwei and they are all wearing gold and silver masks, but I have never seen their true faces, and the blue cloak is also their outfit. Unlike Huo Duwei, Huo Duwei is basically dressed in a red robe. Yang Duwei wears a wind character waist card, while Huo Duwei wears a fire character waist card, I think they must belong to the same organization. ”

"Hmm. Hearing you say that, I think they all seem to have their own goals. After listening to Li Tianqi's description, Lu Linlang had some outlines.

"Yes, I'm also deducing this, they don't seem to communicate, maybe it's just sweeping the snow in front of the door and ignoring the frost on the tiles of others."

"Hmm. Not to mention their differences, why did the disguised people throw away these disguised clothes and masks here? Lu Linlang was more interested in the clothes he had just seen.

"I think maybe they don't need to use these things anymore in the next step, either they have achieved their goal and kill people, or they take people to a safe place." Of course, Li Tianqi is not a god, and he is only speculating at the moment.

"Well, that makes sense. But no matter how safe the place is, it's not enough to kill people and kill people, right? Lu Linlang suddenly smiled mischievously.

"Linlang, you are right, there are many stories that you have heard in the story, and only the mouth of the dead is the strictest." Li Tianqi agreed.

"But why don't they do it in Suzhou? It's more straightforward, and it also saves the risk of running around, but it will come to arrest people in disguise. ”

"Maybe I'm afraid of causing too much unnecessary trouble. After all, Mrs. Wan is also a leading figure in Suzhou, who knows what will be involved? I think those people think it's always right to be safe. Li Tianqi speculated.

"But Brother Apocalypse, how did you come to the inference that someone is disguised?" Lu Linlang couldn't figure it out, it wasn't surprising that she had been taken away by the masked woman this morning when she was waiting for Li Tianqi to come out of Wanfu.

"Why is someone in disguise? I think this can be deduced from the words of the Suzhou jailer, because I saw that it was morning when Yang Duwei and his group entered Wanjia, if it was the same group, why did they go to the jailer in the evening to inquire about the whereabouts of the housekeeper? Shouldn't they know better where the housekeeper has gone? From this point, it can be judged that the characters who appeared in the morning and night are not the same group. So I thought about it for a while, and judged that someone was disguised. ”

"Well, that makes sense." Lu Linlang nodded.

"But what I still don't understand is, what does the butler know? How did people go to so much effort to kidnap him? Li Tianqi took a deep breath and exhaled heavily.

Lu Linlang already felt much more organized at this time, and she said: "Brother Tianqi, if this is the case, on the premise of assuming that Wanhuaxiang's disappearance was planned by someone, does it mean that the person who caused Wanhuaxiang's disappearance and the person who kidnapped the housekeeper were not the same group?" Or maybe Wan Huaxiang deliberately did it, in order to cover up something we don't know, she hid herself, but before she could completely remove the traces, leaving the housekeeper as an insider, she was caught by a hostile person and quietly took the housekeeper away. ”

"It's all possible. Hey, that's a headache. It's annoying to go around and around. Li Tianqi shook his head.

"Hmm."

"Linlang, you should also feel troubled and melancholy these days, and so am I......"

"Yes, especially when I am alone at night, the feeling of longing always comes quietly, and I miss my master very much. I wonder where she is now? Is she okay? Alas......" Lu Linlang said, tears were already rolling in his eyes.

"You and I should have enjoyed the protection of our parents, but we have been exhausted for several months, and now we have to travel thousands of miles to find our relatives, find our parents, our relatives, it's really fate...... Li Tianqi sighed.

Lu Linlang's eyes were filled with tears, and she sobbed softly for a while.

Li Tianqi didn't know what he said wrong, and when he saw Lu Linlang like this, he didn't know what to do.

Lu Linlang's thin shoulders shrugged slightly, Li Tianqi couldn't bear her to go down like this, and finally mustered up the courage to ask, "Linlang, what's wrong with you?" ”

"I think of my parents." Lu Linlang's nose fluttered, and she snorted, and she wiped her tears with her sleeve.

Li Tianqi had never heard Lu Linlang mention her parents, and it must have been the words that he had just touched that stirred her mind. But she didn't take the initiative to mention it before, and he didn't want to ask her, but now he took this opportunity to ask clearly, so he could get to know her.

"I've only heard you mention your master before, but you haven't mentioned your parents, where have they gone?" Li Tianqi asked cautiously.

"I don't know. My master doesn't know either. I was abandoned on the mountain road in Miaojiang to collect medicine since I was a child, and my master raised me, so I regard my master as my parents. ”

"I see. I'm sorry. It's a sad thing to remind you. Li Tianqi felt sad for a while, it turned out that Linlang was worse than herself, she at least had a mother, she hadn't even seen her parents since she was a child.

He raised his head suddenly and said to Lu Linlang: "Linlang, please believe Brother Apocalypse, I have learned everything, and I will definitely help you find your parents." ”

His words were firm and confident.

"Hmm." Lu Linlang gritted his teeth and nodded vigorously. Her face was like rain hitting pear blossoms, but it revealed a sense of inner perseverance.

The hearts of the two were closer......
