Chapter Seventy-Six: The Tombstone Room
There were only three of them in the huge room, and she couldn't care about the others, she only felt that her heart was beating fast, as if it was beating a drum, and it was about to shatter something, her ears were buzzing, and she almost couldn't hear anything, but she still held on to her will, for fear of missing something.

Obviously, Xiufei's nerves were so tense that she didn't know how to react.
Wuqi secretly gritted his teeth, he really couldn't, so he had to explain by himself, and his respectful voice was no different from that of other palace maids, "Your Majesty, Concubine Xiu only has you in her heart, and she even shouts your name in her sleep, how can she be with others!" ”
She told Cang Zhengqi very clearly that Concubine Xiu was a normal woman who only loved her own man, and if she didn't want to, it would be impossible for her to have a weird relationship with any woman.
Wuqi's words attracted Cang Zhengqi's attention, he looked at this palace maid who couldn't see her face with great interest, encountering such a thing is not only heavy, but also quite bold and brainy, yes, it's not an ordinary person, right?
With a sense of comparison in his heart, he turned to look at the sluggish Concubine Xiu, who looked like she couldn't figure out the situation. Such a stark contrast made Cang Zhenglu have a new understanding of Concubine Xiu.
seems to have suddenly opened up, which also makes Cang Zhengzhen have a good impression of Concubine Xiu.
Such a stupid and simple woman turned out to be not pretending.
He walked over to the frightened rabbit-like woman and lifted her slender chin so that her panicked face was fully visible to him. It's really pitiful.
"She's telling the truth?" At this time, her tone was much softer.
His attitude of such a big change not only did not make Concubine Xiu relaxed, but even more frightened, she was afraid that this was the calm before the rainstorm, in the deep water, only by holding the driftwood could she avoid the disaster, Cang Zhenglu was her driftwood, so she hugged it without hesitation, and grasped the key point of Wuqi's words in her mind, and naturally took over the conversation, "The concubine only has His Majesty in her heart!" ”
So don't punish us!
Cang Zhengqi couldn't help but put his palm on her head, the soft touch reminded him of the same dog training many years ago, but the fact is that he is such a weak and sensitive person. While taming the pleasure, there is a little more pity inadvertently.
He hugged Concubine Xiu, his movements were much gentler than before, and he didn't even need to throw it when he reached the bed.
Feeling that Concubine Xiu had an uncomfortable and stiff reaction after leaning on the soft bed, a smile flashed in his eyes, and the next moment he regained his coldness, glancing at the third person who was still in the room, and his tone was impatient, "You don't want to get out of here!" ”
Wuqi obviously didn't expect Cang Zhengqi to let them go so easily, and after reacting, he hurriedly stood up, because he was in too much hurry and his steps were unsteady, which was really a bit of a roll. Even if she almost fell, she didn't forget to say a few words of thanks, Your Majesty.
It's the first time I've been so embarrassed.
When the door closed, Wuqi's humility was replaced by disgust, and she snorted disdainfully as she listened to the man's panting and the woman's scream.
Seeing that several palace maids were pointing at her in the corridor, she lowered her head, and if her hair did not cover her face, the palace maids could see the fierce look on her face.
Concubine Xiu was teased by Concubine Xiu several times, she was so tired that she couldn't do it, and she fell into a deep sleep, and Concubine Cang was still in good spirits, staring at Concubine Xiu's sleeping face while beginning to ponder Wuqi.
If she is really a palace maid, servility and temperament are deep in the bones, but Wuqi does not. So, is she really a palace maid?
When it is ugly, the watchman will sound the gong, and the calm and deep voice will spread throughout the streets and alleys.
Xie Xiaoshuai pieced together the words of the watchman in his mind, made a handover with his consciousness, and his eyelids opened like a window when he received the command. At that moment, the nerves in his whole body were also awakened.
The movements of getting out of bed are coherent and fluent, worthy of the vitality of young people.
He'd been dressed before, so he would be ready to go, and before he did, of course, wake up someone who was in his room.
Wrapped in the quilt, she only exposed her two arms and head, and she didn't even make a sound of breathing, she seemed to be very asleep, Xie Xiaoshuai pursed her lips and walked to the side, wanting to wake her up.
A cold breath suddenly hit his arm, and his fingers wrapped softly around him, without a trace of reality, as if it was not a human hand.
Xie Xiaoshuai shook his head, this is obviously Hesheng's hand.
He Sheng opened his eyes without warning, looking straight at Xiao Shuai, in the room with only a faint moonlight, his dark pupils seemed to glow with blue.
Xie Xiaoshuai couldn't help but shudder, "You...... Get up, get up. ”
He Sheng blinked, was silent for a moment, and while letting go of Xie Xiaoshuai's hand, his facial features softened, still the same as Xie Xiaoshuai's impression.
She got up and stretched, walked to open the door without even tidying up the quilt, walked a few steps and turned around, "Don't leave yet?" ”
Xie Xiaoshuai shook his head and threw out the strange feeling just now.
Zhao Heqiao and the others had already prepared, and had been waiting for a long time before Xie Xiaoshuai and He Sheng arrived at the door of the inn.
When He Sheng saw Zhao Heqiao's mouth open, he laughed heartlessly, "Sister Qiao is really fast." ”
Zhao Heqiao was accustomed to her enthusiasm, and after taking a close look, she said, "I'm relatively light sleeper." ”
In fact, she couldn't sleep at all, and it has been like this all these days.
She looked at He Sheng, "Let's go, can you lead the way?" She guessed that He Sheng had done more preparation than they did, especially the road in the past, which should also be unusual.
He Sheng blinked tacitly, indicating that he knew me.
Xie Xiaoshuai rubbed his eyes to refresh himself, "Sister Qiao, I'll carry you." ”
When He Sheng heard this, he raised his eyebrows and looked at him.
"What to see, I have the best light work, and I can go faster with Sister Buckwheat."
Zhao Heqiao did not deny this sentence, she explained to He Sheng: "I don't really know much martial arts, just a simple self-defense technique, so when there is an action, Xiaoshuai takes me with me." ”
In that case, why do you have to force yourself to do this kind of cornice-walking thing?
He Sheng didn't say anything.
Zhao Heqiao said: "I am indeed forcing myself, just be willful, but I will never do anything to drag down my companions." ”
She wanted to face the danger herself, to experience the road that Zexin had walked, and maybe one day she would lose her life, and she would be able to see him soon.
Xie Xiaoshuai frowned, always feeling that after knowing the news of the boss's death, Sister Qiao was a little weird.
"Sister Buck, don't worry, I will protect you!"
Zhao Heqiao pulled her lips and wanted to put it with a smile.
"That's good," He Sheng suddenly patted Zhao Heqiao's shoulder, "People with force may not be powerful, Sister Qiao is so smart, she will definitely be able to do what even a master can't do!" ”
Zhao Heqiao's body shook for a moment, and then smiled, "Thank you." ”
"Hey, you're pushing too hard!" Xie Xiaoshuai roared.
"Okay, don't be verbose, I know a shortcut, come with me." He Sheng moved under the palm of his hand, suddenly grabbed Zhao Heqiao's waist, raised his foot, and flew away.
Seeing that they both reached the roof of the other house, a companion sighed: "What a handsome skill, that kid is about the same age as the little handsome man, you have met a strong opponent." ”
At this moment, He Sheng had already coiled her hair, and they didn't know that she was a woman, so they should think she was a teenager.
Xie Xiaoshuai took a deep breath, if he usually shouted a few words, but after the embarrassing crying a few hours ago, his swollen heart had shrunk into a solid one, "Skill has nothing to do with age, talent is important, the most important thing is the hard work of the day after tomorrow, I will double it, one day I will be stronger than her, stronger than more powerful people." ”
He glared at his legs, picked up his internal strength, and chased forward.
Yo, this kid's thinking has improved!
Several of the companions looked at each other teasingly, said nothing, and then followed.
He Sheng took Zhao Heqiao to jump on the roof of the house a few times, suddenly stopped, and looked back at Xie Xiaoshuai and them.
Xie Xiaoshuai said: "Why don't you leave?" ”
He Sheng smiled slyly, "You can see clearly." ”
As soon as the words fell, she took Zhao Heqiao's hand and jumped into an alley, running into the gap between the two rows of old houses.
Xie Xiaoshuai and a few people hurriedly followed, only to see that they turned a corner and disappeared, and when they were hesitating, a hand stretched out next to them and pulled Xie Xiaoshuai into a crack, and several people behind him saw it at a glance, and they also squeezed in sideways.
The gap they were in was only about two feet wide, and Xie Xiaoshuai was just able to walk sideways in it, but the other sturdy men walked a little hard.
Zhao Heqiao was the first to be pushed forward by He Sheng before, so he walked in the front, and he didn't need someone to lead the way with such a directional road.
She felt a little interesting, "Hesheng, this kind of shortcut is quite special. ”
He Sheng was relaxed behind her, "Probably you don't usually notice that when people build houses in the city, there is always a time when they move and demolish them, the houses are adjacent, and it is impossible to be separated by only one wall forever, the distance and space between the walls have been imperceptibly changed, and some have even become a road, just like what we are walking now, of course, this is not a common thing." ”
There was a fork in the road ahead, and Zhao Heqiao was about to speak, but He Sheng had already reminded: "On the right." ”
Zhao Heqiao nodded, and asked as if unintentionally: "How did you find this road?" ”
He Sheng said: "I like to wander around and find some new and strange things, I know a lot, and you will slowly know about it later." ”
From her answer, it seemed that the route that was inadvertently probed was exactly in line with their goal, but Zhao Heqiao felt that this Hesheng already knew what they were going to do here, and even the route was deliberately arranged.
Xie Xiaoshuai muttered, "Talking about yourself is like a treasure." ”
He Sheng chuckled, "There is no treasure, but maybe I can lead you to find the treasure?" ”
Xie Xiaoshuai snorted, obviously not believing it.
Zhao Heqiao pondered what He Sheng said, but she didn't believe it.
She leaned against the wall and secretly made grinding movements.
The degree of damage to the wall is not smooth, and the dampness of the stone and sand is not heavy, apparently it is believed.
Definitely not by chance.
She was willing to believe that He Sheng had come to help them on purpose, but because of what to help them. That's what she cared about.
There was a cold wind coming from the front, and Zhao Heqiao judged that he was about to get to the exit, so he quickened his pace.
Through the open ground where the exit can be emptied, Zhao Heqiao lifted his feet away from the crack in the wall.
Thanks to the candles in the nearby houses, I can barely see the surroundings.
She observed that there was an old red-brown wall all around, and several large and thick trees nestled against the wall, and under the trees there were stone benches and stone tables, and there was a pebble-paved path on the ground, one leading to the arch, which was too indistinct, but it must have been a similar structure.
There is also a hint of sandalwood in the air.
Can't be wrong.
"This is a temple?" Zhao Heqiao's questioning tone was affirmative.
He Sheng took his fan and patted the dust on his body, "Yes, the tombstone room of Prince Hao is in the forest next to this temple. ”
She handed the fan to Zhao Heqiao, "Sister Qiao, give it." ”
Zhao Heqiao didn't answer, she patted her sleeve and wiped her face, and said: "That's fine, this line is not over, there will always be a lot of dust, why bother to do it many times." ”
He Sheng smiled and nodded, and put away the fan.
The temple is a place of fresh wind, and after the monks fall asleep, the Italian way of prevention is very shallow, so as long as they move lightly, they can't disturb them.
So they just walked straight to the front yard, opened the door and walked out.
When they came to the tombstone room of Prince Hao, several people lit the fire core strip in their hands.
Zhao Heqiao bowed a few times first.
He Sheng understood it and bowed a few times.
Xie Xiaoshuai looked around, expressing puzzlement.
He Sheng said: "What we are doing now is a bit indecent after all", she thought about the wording, and did not use the word 'immoral' to describe it, "and...... No matter what's in it, it's always good to say goodbye. ”
Xie Xiaoshuai listened to her strange tone, and thought to himself that if there is anything inside, he can be scared away by you.
Of course, he did a prostration-like posture with six other people.
There were nine of them, Zhao Heqiao and He Sheng looked thin and weak, and Xie Xiaoshuai knew that He Sheng was also a woman, so he took the initiative to pull a few other big men to do hands-on things.
They first lifted the stone cover of the grave, and after moving a large distance, they prepared to dig up the earth with a short shovel in the baggage.
The shovel was also improved, the handle was hollow and the thickness was just right, and they pulled out two sections from it, and then took out the iron and drilled it into the hole where the handle was connected, so that it could be fixed.
He Sheng was interested, "Who made this thing of you, it's pretty good!" ”
Zhao Heqiao didn't want to be distracted by the few people who did it, so he helped them answer: "We have a guy named Li Fat, not to mention the craftsmanship, but also novel ideas, and often invent tools that can be easily carried on long trips." ”
He Sheng turned around, "Is the craftsmanship good?" Then I'm going to eat his food. ”
Zhao Heqiao looked at her for a while and said, "There will be a chance." ”
Although Hesheng is nonsensical in doing things and speaking, Zhao Heqiao feels that what she says has never meant to be a joke, but just depends on how people understand it.
The feeling in her heart told her that the connection between He Sheng and them would be long.
Just when He Sheng was joking while watching Xiao Shuai and them busy, Zhao Heqiao looked intently at the tombstone room.
This place is really cleaned as the intelligence says, and there are no fine weeds growing from the stones, and ...... She touched the corners and places, and there was less dust.
Zhao Heqiao asked Hesheng: "Hesheng, do you know when the last time it rained here?" ”
He Sheng thought for a moment, "Although the Qing Ming Kingdom has abundant rain all year round, after all, it is the April season, and there are only three or four rains a month," she raised her hand to sense the wind current, "The direction of the wind comes from the northeast, and there will be rain coming after one or two, so the last rain should be at least seven or eight days ago." ”
"Thank you." Zhao Heqiao nodded, there was approval in her eyes, Hesheng is not only smart, but also far-sighted about things, at her age, it is really not simple.
She walked to the dirt around the tombstone room, crouched down and illuminated it with a fire core strip, and scratched her fingers into the dirt, roughly comparing a range, and had the answer in her heart.
After the rain, the tombstone room in the woods will definitely be stained with a lot of mud, especially like the cracks and corners, so under normal circumstances, the person who cleans diligently can be appropriate, and the stone slab of the tombstone room will also leave yellow marks of soil. The cleaners came once every six days, and it was only two or three days before the rain, but the slate was too clean.
In particular, the humidity and hardness of the soil around the tombstone chamber are very uneven.
He Sheng walked up to Zhao Heqiao, "Sister Qiao, what did you find?" ”
"There's something in the tombstone room, it's definitely not a corpse." Zhao Heqiao told Hesheng about his thoughts.
He Sheng nodded, indicating that he agreed with Zhao Heqiao's point of view.
At this time, Xie Xiaoshuai and the others dug up the soil.
"Sister Buckwheat, it's okay."
Zhao Heqiao and Hesheng heard this, and walked to the grave at the same time. (To be continued.)
