36. Dead City

Yu Feijue's injuries have improved a lot after a night's rest, and Chen Youwei has already arranged for someone to go to the county to ask for a doctor, and at this time he has prepared an extra carriage, which will be taken care of by Bu Xianyin. On the other hand, I don't know why, although the meeting the night before seemed to be very indifferent to Liu Fanghua, Aunt Qin had already gotten into her carriage.

Su Qing stood in front of Gu Yuan's carriage, and at such a moment, he suddenly hesitated.

Last night, all kinds of things flashed in my mind like a dream, and I had no time to be alone before, but at this time I was inexplicably entangled.

Suddenly, a force took her along.

Su Qing came back to his senses in surprise, and found that he had entered the carriage, and when he turned around, he saw a flawless white dress.

Xun Yuelou sat on the other side of the carriage very indifferently, casually put her on the soft collapse beside her, and naturally said to the people in the car: "Let's go." ”

The temperature in the carriage suddenly sank inexplicably at this moment.

Su Qing has known Xun Yuelou for a long time, and he knows him quite well, but these understandings only exist under the premise that his subordinates are hugging each other, and he has never seen him act alone.

Now when he saw his natural behavior, there was an uproar in his heart.

- Who let him come up?

Su Qing was afraid that Gu Yuan would be unhappy, so he kicked him out of the car directly.

However, Gu Yuan raised her feet, and after all, she did not make the move she imagined, but Shi Shiran changed her posture and lightly instructed the people waiting outside: "Go." ”

Su Qing glanced at his face, which looked very natural, but he couldn't bear the deep darkness that had settled under his eyes.

She sat between the two of them with bated breath, the carriage was not very spacey, but it made her cautious and extremely tired.

was in a daze, Xun Yuelou suddenly stretched out a hand and probed in front of her forehead, which frightened her, and suddenly turned to one side and avoided it: "What to do!" ”

Xun Yuelou withdrew her empty hand and said, "I see that your face is wrong, but you are sick?" ”

Su Qing was so angry by his concerned and sincere tone that the corners of his mouth twitched.

If it weren't for the fact that Daffodils were doing her own thing, would she be guilty of being like this now!

When the words fell, he could feel that another line of sight suddenly fell on him, Su Qing could only reply angrily, and his voice happened to make Gu Yuan hear it clearly: "I'm not sick, I'm very good." ”

At this time, since he had already opened the conversation box and thought about it, she casually asked Su Mo's whereabouts: "Where did the little brother who accompanied you go just now, why didn't you see him?" ”

Xun Yuelou said: "He stepped forward to the first carriage." ”

When Su Qing heard this, he was slightly stunned.

The first carriage in front of him, wasn't it the Chen Mansion Yin Xin sent someone to prepare for Yu Feijue? Now in addition to the flower butterfly in the car, there is also a step envy sound.

Obviously, Su Mo didn't get into the carriage casually, but made a choice after consideration.

He wanted to see another face in the world that was exactly the same as him.

Su Qing said "um", his feelings were quite complicated, and he didn't ask anything more.

In the silence, something suddenly flew in, covering her vision heavily.

Su Qing reached out and pulled it off his head, only to find that it was a velvet blanket.

Gu Yuan's voice was neither light nor heavy: "Cover it." ”

After saying that, he closed his eyes again.

The velvet blanket felt very comfortable in his hand, much better than anything Su Qing had ever seen before. It was always on Gu Yuan's lap before, and he walked all the way like this, and he didn't have to think about it to know that it should be a valuable treasure.

And now, there was an empty piece above Gu Yuan's legs.

The velvet blanket still has his shallow temperature, and the touch is even more strange.

In this way, I stretched out my hand and spread it, and it was warmly covered on my legs, and it was very comfortable.

Gu Yuan didn't open his eyes, as if he was closing his eyes to recuperate, but his words were said to Xun Yuelou: "Young Master Xun is going to go to Gushu City with us on the way?" ”

Xun Yuelou's gaze kept falling on the velvet blanket, and when she heard this, she raised her head and said, "Yes." ”

Gu Yuan nodded and hooked the corners of his mouth: "Then, please also ask Young Master Xun to follow my rules." ”

Xun Yuelou was a little puzzled and asked, "What rules?" ”

Gu Yuan opened his eyes and looked at him quietly: "Follow everything I said. ”

Xun Yuelou pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "As long as it doesn't affect Ah Qing, it's fine." ”

Su Qing was dumbfounded by his positionless behavior, and couldn't help but look at him with disdain. As soon as she looked up, she saw Gu Yuan's words and looked at her, her posture suddenly became more and more straight, and she subconsciously blurted out: "A qiΔ“ is looking at the old man's horse!" ”

The corners of Gu Yuan's lips pursed in satisfaction.

All the way to Tuzhou County, almost all of them were uninhabited.

The streets were surrounded by closed doors and windows, and the bleak wind swept up a thick layer of dust, which would have almost been mistaken for a dead city if it weren't for the old paving on both sides.

Su Qing lifted the curtain and looked out, and suddenly lost any reverie about this originally extremely rich place.

Looking into the distance, he accidentally touched the gap in the window lattice of the house beside the road, and ignored the eyes looking out for a moment, and the people in the house slammed the window shut. She was suddenly startled, and when she looked closely, she saw that even the curtains in the room had been completely closed.

She touched her chin suspiciously.

Are outsiders so scary? Why do they all look like hell?

The convoy stopped at the gate of Chen's mansion, and Su Qing saw the golden plaque as soon as he got out of the car, recalling the barren scene he saw along the way, and his impression of this lord dropped sharply to the extreme. You must know that Tuzhou County is now deserted, and every family is depressed and sluggish, but the door of this magnificent mansion is a dusty appearance. If you just look at this faΓ§ade, you almost have the illusion that you are in the east of the rich and prosperous city of the capital.

At this time, thinking back to Chen Youwei's belly full of fat, I am afraid that this person as an official did not think about the life and death of the people at all, but immersed himself in his own greedy pleasure.

It's no wonder that even those officials who collect taxes can be so arrogant.

The jade scarlet jue had been carefully carried in.

Chen Youwei had obviously asked someone to arrange it in advance, and at this time, he ordered someone to send the doctor who was waiting in the mansion to treat the wound, and he waited for Gu Yuan to get out of the car with a humble and respectful face.

His gaze turned from Su Qing, he had seen that she could actually accompany the regent in the same car, although he didn't know the specific identity, he had already included her in the ranks of flattering in his heart, and his attitude towards her seemed very respectful.

Su Qing grew up in the market since he was a child, and he took Su Mo to run around, I don't know how many sins he has suffered because of this kind of corrupt official. looked at Chen Youwei at this time. didn't have a good face, and as soon as he turned around, he followed the group to take care of Yu Feijue without saying a word, leaving the person standing in place with an embarrassed face.

Gu Yuan happened to see this situation when he got out of the car, glanced up at the dazzling plaque, and praised it without saltiness: "Lord Chen's mansion is magnificent. ”

As soon as the words fell, Chen Youwei was in a cold sweat all over his body, and his back was suddenly soaked again. He hurriedly smiled and said, "It's all because I bought some extra properties a few years ago and made a little money, which made Master Gu smile." ”

Gu Yuan said: "Lord Chen should know that Tuzhou's disaster relief funds have been in short supply. ”

"The subordinates and the lower officials are willing to share the worries and solve problems for the imperial court......" When Chen Youwei said this, he already knew that the ill-gotten gains he had secretly accumulated were probably going to be confiscated, and his heart suddenly felt a pain in his heart.

This is clearly from the mouth of the regent of the court.

And before that, there were countless official eunuchs who were wiped out because of Gu Yuan's words.

Chen Youwei knows very well that if he is a little careless in his behavior, I am afraid that he will have to be beheaded all over the house. At this moment, he didn't even dare to have the idea of secretly leaving some private money. Now it can only be regarded as a ruined fortune and a disaster, no matter what, it is better than a black yarn and a head on the ground.

He walked bitterly behind Gu Yuan towards the mansion, his mind full of scenes of white flowers and silver waving to him.

Suddenly, someone in the distance rushed towards him, and before he could get close, he had already been kicked out by Lin Ying next to him.

However, the man fell to the ground and fell on his back, but he did not forget to cry out in fear: "Oh no, my lord! The corpse of the green warbler has been found! It's right next to the Surabaya River, and there's still, still, there's ......."

"What is there! Find it, find it, and call for anything! I'll deal with this later, don't you see that you're entertaining distinguished guests! Chen Youwei saw the appearance of the person who came, and almost jumped up directly from the ground, and suddenly raised his voice and shouted, I just hope that this idiot can retreat with interest.

However, the man was obviously in a state of despair, and did not hear what he was saying at all, and in the blink of an eye he had crawled to him, grabbed his trouser leg, and trembled like a sieve: "Big, big, sir, send someone to take a look!" There are so many corpses, corpses! In addition to the green warblers, there are also seven or eight corpses, and it feels like they have all been dead for several days! ”

Seeing that this person was acquainted with Chen Youwei, Lin Ying did not kick him away again this time, but frowned after hearing the content of his words.

Chen Youwei was obviously taken aback by what he said, his chubby face suddenly turned white, and he said in panic: "Seven or eight? How can there be so many? ”

The man stammered, "These are the ones who have washed up on the shore at the moment, and new corpses are appearing one after another." Already, there have been quite a few people who have come to claim it, some of whom have recognized it as abandoned in a mass grave a few months ago, and there are also many people who look at their clothes, like, like a few girls who have been lost for time and disappeared. ”

Lin Ying was stunned when he heard this, leaned over to Gu Yuan's side, and said in a low voice: "Master, the place we tracked last night seems to be the upper reaches of the Surabaya River......"

Gu Yuan's eyelashes drooped slightly, he glanced at Chen Youwei, and said, "Lord Chen, check carefully." ”

Chen Youwei was on the verge of collapse at this time frightened by this terrifying and terrifying thing, and such a cold tone suddenly fell, making the strings of his reason suddenly tighten and then suddenly break completely, and he fell to the ground as soon as his feet were soft, and his mouth muttered almost unconsciously: "Check ...... Xia Guan will definitely ...... Check ...... well."

The appearance of losing his soul is very embarrassing, how can he still look like a half-point court official.

Gu Yuan glanced at him with disdain, unwilling to stay longer, and only ordered: "Lin Ying, you are optimistic about him." ”

Lin Ying understood, nodded in response, stretched out his hand and dragged Chen Youwei out.

The entire Chen Mansion occupies a huge piece of land, and at a cursory glance, I am afraid that even Gu Yuan's Regent Mansion may wish to let it go. The group walked for a long time before entering the courtyard prepared earlier, and after Yu Feijue was carried in, the doctor quickly followed in, and after a while, a few maids hurriedly walked out with a few basins of blood and water.

When Su Qing walked over, he saw this situation, and he was a little shocked, and couldn't help asking, "How is his injury?" ”

The doctor replied, "The injury is indeed serious, but this boy is fine. ”

Su Qing frowned: "It's important to say that it's okay, does it matter?" ”

The doctor glanced at her and said with emotion: "If it was put on an ordinary person, such an injury would have died three or four times." But this son's mind is extremely firm, and he can still live until now when he is seriously injured, which is enough to show that he can't die lightly. ”

Su Qing was dumbfounded.

This flower butterfly is really not an ordinary person in a way.

After sending the doctor away, she walked to the bedside and looked at the pale-faced man in front of her, and couldn't help but tease: "Yu Gongzi, you didn't treat your wounds well at that time, and you had to rush back, just to stop us halfway when we just left Huaizhou?" ”

Under the hideous and dazzling half of Jade Scarlet's face, the corners of her lips were slightly hooked, and her whole face looked more and more terrifying. At this time, he said "That's right" in a very thin voice, but looking at Su Qing, he seemed to be smiling but not smiling: "If I can't stop you, I might as well die at the hands of those people at that time." ”

As the words fell, he suddenly coughed violently.

Su Qing's heart jumped, and he hurriedly stepped forward and patted his back twice to calm his breath, the hesitant look in his eyes flashed slightly, and finally said, "Is it worth it for a woman." ”

Yu Feijue's body shook suddenly when her words fell, and the cough suddenly seemed to be stuck in her throat, leaving only a dull hum.

He looked up at Su Qing, and there seemed to be thousands of whirling storms in his eyes.

raised his hand and grabbed her arm, his pale face was a little distorted by the touch, he gritted his teeth and said one by one: "There are some things that you will never understand." ”

Su Qing felt a layer of pity in his hideous look for some reason. However, the strength on her arm was so heavy, and there were a few faint rubbing of her bones, and she couldn't help but snort under the pain.

At this moment, there was a figure in front of her, her heart jumped suddenly, and in a flash, she subconsciously blurted out: "Xun Yuelou, stop!" ”

However, it was still a step too late.

Although Xun Yuelou's strength suddenly converged, a palm had already slapped Yu Feijue's shoulder, causing him to crash into the wall behind the bed heavily. The wound that had just been bandaged suddenly oozed a piece of blood again, and a cold sweat instantly broke out between the pale face, and the lips were extremely pale.

"I'm sorry."

Xun Yuelou's ethereal eyes flickered slightly, but there was a look on his face that was the same as usual, and he couldn't see the slightest regret.

Su Qing had to call the people who had just quit and asked them to call back the doctor who had just gone out again.

Yu Feijue's gaze fell on the two of them for a long time, and there were still blood stains on the corners of her mouth, but in the end, she laughed dullly: "Woman, I know that your origin is not simple." Even if he deliberately stayed by Gu Yuan's side before, where did this little white face come from? ”

The identity of the city lord of Gushu City cannot be described as a "little white face", but under this explicit humiliation, Xun Yuelou did not have any other expression except for frowning.

"He's the guy you're looking for." Su Qing sighed helplessly, seeing the vibration in Yu Xuanjue's eyes, he stretched out his hand and pressed the body he wanted to stand up casually, glanced at him lightly, and said, "However, Xun Yuelou is not easy to communicate." And what you want to know, I'm afraid he doesn't know about it. Your first priority now is to take care of your injuries, and other things will be discussed when you get to Gushu City. ”

After speaking, regardless of whether Yu Feijue understood it or not, he pulled up Xunyue Tower and walked out.

In this way, he dragged the daffodils all the way out of the yard, and Su Qing stopped on the corridor, twisted his eyebrows and said angrily: "Xunyue Tower!" Do you know that you almost killed him just now! ”

Xun Yuelou replied very frankly: "I know." ”

Su Qing frowned: "If you do this again, I think it is necessary for you to go back to Gushu City as soon as possible." ”

Xun Yuelou's gaze fell on her reddish wrist and said, "He almost hurt you just now." ”

is obviously a waveless look and tone, and the words fall into my ears, and I don't know why I have an inexplicable sense of grievance.

Su Qing took a deep breath, stared at his eyes seriously, and said, "Xun Yuelou, this is not your Gushu City, you shouldn't take it for granted to do something, understand?" ”

Xun Yuelou looked at her without saying a word, her expression was pale.

Su Qing was speechless for a while.

In fact, she has always been very clear that the people she said are sophisticated, and the men in front of her have never thought about it, and they are never ready to understand it deeply.

Since the first time I met Xun Yuelou, many things and many things have been destined, and the two of them are very different.

She has lived in the market since she was a child, and she has become very accustomed to maintaining relationships with everyone, and everything needs to be weighed carefully and avoid mistakes at all times. Everything she wants needs to be obtained by her own efforts, and the person she wants to protect can only carefully arrange his future fate in his own way. Because she knows very well that there are many things that she alone is not enough.

And he is the young master of Gushu City, who has grown up in the support of many loyal subordinates since he was a child. He can face the world without controversy, and he can do whatever he wants without having to think about what others think. It's just because he has never felt the feeling of being at a loss when he is adrift, and it is impossible to comprehend it after all.

After all, Xun Yuelou couldn't understand what she was thinking, nor could she understand what she wanted; And she will never be able to do everything as he does, just keep her heart.

In the heart of this lofty and quiet daffodil, there may be only two kinds of things - what he thinks, and what he doesn't want.

However, in her Su Qing's heart, what needs to be considered is the chaos and complexity that every layman must experience in the dust of the world.

After all, she is mortal in this world

Su Qing's eyelashes drooped slightly, and he sighed lightly with some tiredness: "That's it, this time you stopped in time, so I'll let you go for the time being." But now you have to make a rule, unless I call your name in the future, you are absolutely not allowed to make any more indiscriminate moves, you know? ”

The corners of Xun Yuelou's mouth hooked and said, "Okay." ”

With such a look, Su Qing couldn't help but rub his temples with a headache.

Just now it can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune, if Yu Feijue finally came out of the ghost gate, but was slapped to death by the daffodil because she inadvertently pinched her hand, this account may not be counted on whose head......

The wind blew slightly, and when she looked up, she happened to see Bu Xianyin walking through a flower garden, followed by his familiar figure, and couldn't help but be a little surprised in her heart.

I didn't see Ah Mo in the jade scarlet room just now, and I was still wondering where he went, but I didn't expect that he would follow Bu Xianyin all the time after getting off the carriage? It seems that these two people get along quite well.

Bu Xianyin also saw the two people in the corridor from afar, and after a pause, he suddenly turned around and walked towards them, and said with a slight smile when he got closer: "Now you need to go out, do you want to go and see it together?" ”

Su Qing was confused: "What are you looking at?" ”

The corners of Bu Xianyin's lips raised slightly, revealing an increasingly warm and warm smile: "Very interesting thing." ”

When the words fell, Su Mo, who was beside him, suddenly looked up.

Seeing the swaying look in his eyes, Su Qing's heart suddenly frozeβ€”not to mention what kind of place he was going to now, it would never be a good thing as Bu Xianyin said.

She looked at Bu Xianyin's appearance, and inevitably looked a little vigilant.

Bu Xianyin was a little annoyed by her vigilant appearance, looked back at Su Mo, and said clearly: "Yes, you know." After a pause, he laughed again, and said meaningfully: "The lady returned to the house early last night, aren't you interested in knowing, after I secretly followed up with Lin Ying, what did I encounter?" ”

After he said this, Su Qing was inevitably a little itchy, and after hesitating, he finally couldn't resist his curiosity, and said, "Let's go and have a look." ”
