Chapter 184: Empty House
"Why did I praise the man twice, you're not happy?"
Slowly out of the city gate, the convoy also increased its speed, but Xiaobai was a little unhappy, Lin Yu drove over and walked side by side with him.
"It's a little unhappy, that person just looks ordinary, not as good as you say." Seeing that the lover who was in her heart took the initiative to talk, Xiaobai's face also eased a lot. "Isn't it just attracting people's attention on the roof of the carriage?"
"You see that people are still one level worse after all, should I look at a person more because of his handsome appearance?" Lin Yu sighed, "That young man is handsome and uninhibited, and he is not a thing in the pool after all, and among the people I have seen, there are few men who can compare with him." ”
"That's weird, when did you learn physiognomy?" Xiaobai was indeed a little curious, "Haven't you always been quite cautious?" A judgment based on those few glances alone? ”
"I would have known a little, but then I watched a lot with your sister, and I can always tell the difference." Lin Yu has a mother who knows a little bit about physiognomy, "Some people are very hidden, and I can't see it at my level." But it's different like this, as long as you take a little look at the magnanimity and divine light, you will know that this person is capable. But there are some disadvantages about this kind of person? ”
"What's wrong?" Before Xiaobai could speak, Nangong Liu asked curiously. "I think that he behaves in a way, not such a twisted person, and he has a good impression of that person."
"Too smart, but too sharp and leaky, don't you know that God is jealous of talents, and it can't last long after all." Lin Yu sighed, "But he is still young, and there are some things that are not calm, and it is not too much to worry about." ”
"You seem to be talking about how old you are." Ouyang Liu couldn't help but smile when he heard what she said, "It's just that the edge is leaking, and he doesn't do our business, he's just a passerby." ”
"This person is about the same age as my sister, he doesn't look bad, and he seems to have some ability." Xiaobai has been thinking about this in his heart these days, and he can't help but say..." I don't know if Lu Dao is married? ”
"Your sister?" Ouyang Liu said to Xiao Bai Qi, "If I'm not mistaken, Bai Daxia is only your only child, right?" ”
Xiaobai realized that he almost missed his mouth, and hurriedly remedied, "It's a distant cousin, only twenty-two or three years old, because her ex-husband married a bride, and now she is separated and lives alone at home." When I was in the capital, I had to take care of her. She is alone, and there is no one at home who is the master of her, so she is worried that her marriage will be hindered. ”
"That's true." Ouyang Liu thought about it and made a suggestion, "I don't know if she likes people in the rivers and lakes?" There are more than 20 children in the rivers and lakes who do not marry wives. I also really know a few good ones, who have good looks and family backgrounds, and their character is not bad, and they also have skills. ”
This proposal made Xiaobai shift his attention to the Jianghu people at once, and the scope was much wider. If you want to say that the yang and yin are more powerful than the polytechnics of later generations, there are many older young men among the heroes, and there are indeed a few good ones. Jianghu people don't particularly attach importance to those reputations, and Yin Susu's situation doesn't have much impact.
Xiaobai himself is half a Jianghu person, and his personality is likable, not to mention that he has friends all over the world after studying all the way. There are several people he knows who are different in age, and they are not bad at what they do.
He thought there, Ouyang Liu also followed the hot lot, the old and the young not only thought of a lot of candidates in the afternoon, but also discussed the few people to visit along the way. Lin Yu couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it, although some of them chose it really well, but it also depends on what people think about Yin Susu, right?
Because of the speed of time, the speed of their horse team was much slower than that of Tang Jie and the others. It was not until evening that they arrived at a town not very far from Cangzhou, and they were expected to arrive at the next county seat at noon tomorrow.
In this kind of place, there is no stronghold under the jurisdiction of Yin Susu, so I found an inn to stay. However, the inn in the town, no matter how good it is, is limited, but everyone is not so picky, and the daily necessities are also sufficient, so there are inappropriate ones, and they are replaced.
Nangong Liu is still adventurous at this age, and he can't stay still, so after settling down, he said that he would go out for a walk first and then come back for dinner. Lin Yu and Xiaobai didn't have that enthusiasm, both of them stayed in the inn, the food in the inn was quite average, but there were newly killed sheep today. Lin Yu paid for half of the fan, and he was staring at the people under his command to do it carefully. Her hometown pays attention to eating cooked sheep in June, and now in July, it is not bad to eat mutton, and she personally likes to eat mutton.
Lin Yu smiled at Xiaobai while directing people to light the fire. "After talking about it all afternoon, do you really plan to help Sister Su Su introduce a Jianghu person?"
"What's wrong with the Jianghu people?" Half of the Jianghu Xiaobai classmates were a little unhappy, "Jianghu people are righteous and affectionate, and they are much stronger than those hypocritical eunuchs." You said that Lu Pingzhi's little white face is just a belly of hypocrisy, and it makes people sick when they think about it. ”
"Except for the wind and rain, there are no people in the rivers and lakes, otherwise I wouldn't-" Lin Yu paused, a little embarrassed to say and walked around. "Sister Su Su's temperament, you don't know the way, you have a success in your heart. Regarding remarriage, I guess she has some plans, and we are afraid that we will have to worry about it in vain. To put it mildly, if she has someone in her heart at this time, as long as she wants to hide it from us, we will definitely not know the way. ”
"And what if she doesn't care about this for a while?" Bai Feiruo thought for a while and said, "I thought about it, let's not talk about it, just visit friends and inquire carefully." ”
"That'll do fine." Lin Yu nodded, "It's just that you have to tell the seniors of Xia Nangong not to talk nonsense." ”
"Don't worry, this kind of thing will naturally not be publicized before it is done, he has been mixed with the rivers and lakes for so many years, and he always knows this thing." Bai Feiruo said while watching people stew mutton, "He has really participated in several major events in the rivers and lakes, if he is really a person who has not succeeded, the trees on the grave will be tall at this time." ”
"That's true." Lin Yu also felt the same way, and couldn't help nodding. The old man is shrewd, he never shows up when he shouldn't appear, he pops up when he should help, he usually can't stop talking, and he won't say more than what he shouldn't say.
The two talked and laughed, watching that the mutton was also stewed and a few dishes were fried, but Nangong Liu had not come back.
"It's really not early, where did Nangong's seniors go?" The hot milky mutton soup was very tempting, and after an afternoon of riding, Lin Yu was also hungry.
"This town is so big, where can you go? I'm afraid I've wandered far away and haven't come back yet. Xiaobai was also hungry, "Forget it, let's not wait for him, let's eat first, just leave him a leg of mutton." ”
Lin Yu didn't wait for Nangong Liu, but it wasn't a big deal, at most, it would only take half an hour at most, and Nangong Liu would come back in time. But someone else was in a hurry, and the person who was supposed to wait for him here never appeared.
"Childe, what do you think is going on? That Miss Jiang is too much, the daughter of a businessman dares to let go of the child's pigeons. After looking for two or three hours, the little guy who followed him was also a little anxious, "Don't talk about the inn that I said earlier, there are no people in so many inns, let's find an inn to live in first." ”
The boy's expression at this moment was not as lazy and uninhibited as before, but gradually became serious, "I don't think she may have released my pigeons." ”
"What do you mean by that? Let's also inquired, the Miss Jiang family doesn't like her son very much, but likes a reckless person. "The little guy is sure that the young lady of the Jiang family is dissatisfied with her son-in-law and deliberately conceals her traces, and she didn't even come to Cangzhou at all.
The Zhang family's brain is really good, and he sorted out the context of this matter almost immediately, and said in a very orderly manner, "Although she is dissatisfied with the plan to marry, she is not a fool, she waited in Pingcheng for four days before, which shows that she herself may be resistant to this matter, but she will not take into account the overall situation." It's easy to ruin the marriage between the two, but it's stupid to ruin the marriage between the two. ”
Zhang Gongzi paused, and then said, "Even if she has seen me, she still doesn't want to marry me, just use some means to let her sisters marry me, there is no need to do such a thing." After all, the Jiang family is on the territory of our Zhang family, and if you offend our Zhang family, no matter how you look at it, the first beauty in martial arts who is not bad will not do such a thing. ”
"Childe, are you saying that she did not deliberately conceal her whereabouts and let Childe's pigeons go?" The little guy is not stupid, and he reacted immediately. "And this is, something unexpected?"
"I guess so." Zhang Gongzi's expression was a lot more solemn, let's go to our Zhang family's stronghold in Cangzhou to explore and see if there is something to know about the road over there. ”
"Okay, really, I originally came out for pure fun, but now I can't be idle." The little guy was a little dissatisfied.
"Don't talk nonsense, the more I think about it, the more I have a bad premonition, let's hurry to the stronghold." Zhang Gongzi didn't get on the roof of the carriage at this time, but turned over and got on the horse, "Be more careful, don't ask someone to follow you." ”
"Don't worry, Childe, the person who can escape Hachi's ears hasn't appeared yet." That little guy actually has good kung fu, and he has a good natural ear, which can distinguish all sounds within a hundred meters.
Zhang Gongzi was indeed quite confident in Xiaoba's hearing, so he nodded, grabbed the horse's belly, and rushed towards the family stronghold.
The result naturally surprised him, the clean empty house, everything in the house, but there were no human corpses, not even bloodstains. If he didn't know the inside story, he would definitely think that this was just an empty house. But he received a letter from here seven days ago, which means that there must have been someone here ten days ago.
"Childe, why do I think it's so infiltrating, what's going on?" Hachi looked at the empty room and couldn't help but shudder.
Looking at this somewhat strange scene, the handsome and uninhibited young man was also stunned, but quickly reacted. "It's not good, let's hurry up and take a look at the Chen family's place."
The Chen family also has a stronghold here, so as to keep secret information back and forth, and the two families have a close relationship, and Zhang Gongzi also knows the address of this place.
"Well, I really don't want to be in a place like this at all." Xiaobai stroked the goosebumps on his arm and said, "It's summer, but I feel cold on my body." ”
Then, again, they saw an empty mansion.
