255 Lingshan Night Walk

The capitals of the past dynasties have been the most heavily guarded and the most turbulent dangerous places with the most turbulent undercurrents, and it is not easy for Shen Yan'er, a group of outsiders with a mission, to get involved too deeply. After hearing the news that Director Peicheng had entered Beijing, Xiaoqing couldn't help but panic and hurriedly asked Shen Yan'er: "Then are we going to Peicheng?" Why don't you go to Beijing instead? ”

"It's too early to go to Beijing. Besides, the rabbit we are waiting for is not the director, but Fei Yue. She will definitely go to Peicheng to inquire about the news, so we are still waiting for her to show up in Peicheng. Shen Yan'er quickly made a decision, and her expression was calm and calm.

Sitting across the carriage, Baoyin and Jinghao both looked at her with dark and deep eyes. The two rarely spoke along the way, and the atmosphere in the carriage was always with a sense of urgency.

Xiaoqing quickly adapted to it, and pulled Shen Yan'er to make a long story short, as if she regarded the other two as transparent people. And Shen Yan'er always subconsciously and secretly observed the faces of the two people. Baoyin is unfathomable, and people can't see any mystery. Jing Hao seemed to have something to say to Shen Yan'er, and always looked at her with a look of wanting to say something.

"And how long are we going to wait?" Xiaoqing asked again. According to the plan, they still have half a day to arrive in Peicheng.

Shen Yan'er said: "Fei Yue and the others are guilty of serious crimes, and they have to hide and hide all the way, I'm afraid it will take ten days and half a month longer than us to get out." Let's settle down in Peicheng first, keep an eye on the movements of the Governor's Mansion, and we will definitely wait for them to appear. ”

Before leaving the customs, Shen Yan'er had already made a plan. They entered Peicheng as geisha and temporarily lived in a large restaurant to make a living. The beautiful Jing Hao and Bao Yin are good at singing and dancing. And Xiaoqing, who has been in the rivers and lakes since childhood, is proficient in sword juggling, and the restaurant owner can't wait to leave them behind as soon as he sees them, and Shen Yan'er quickly finds a place to stay.

Xiao Hei, the only man in the group, acted as a bodyguard, and Shen Yan'er inexplicably became the boss lady. The people of the three sects and the nine streams in the restaurant are mixed, and the news circulates very quickly, and Shen Yan'er can immediately know if there is any wind and grass inside and outside the city.

On the evening three days after entering Peicheng, after the hotel closed in the evening, Shen Yan'er was pulled into the corner by Xiaoqing as soon as she wanted to go back to her room to rest, whispering in a low voice.

"Yan'er. I heard a strange thing today. It seems to be haunted on the spiritual mountain outside the city, and some people say that wild ghosts are seen walking in the cemetery. Why don't we go up the hill tonight? ”

"Haunted?" Shen Yan'er's heart tightened. It's not that she's afraid, it's just that Xiaoqing's words made the figure of a corpse pop up in her mind. Peicheng, like Jiyang Prefecture, was the first border city to bear the brunt of the war between the two countries. Even if a corpse suddenly appeared, it would not be strange.

Shen Yan'er: The restaurant in the city where they are currently taking refuge is doing business during the day. A serious restaurant that closes at night. In terms of time. It is true that they can go out of the city to Lingshan before the gates are closed, but as geisha, they are. What reason should I go out of the city?

Just as Shen Yan'er frowned and pondered, Xiaoqing smiled slyly and said, "Don't think about it, how can an ordinary woman stay outside the city all night?" Whatever the reason, it is full of loopholes, and it is safest for us to sneak out without knowing it. But ...... "that's the point." "We can't leave all at once, we must leave someone in the restaurant to help cover up, otherwise we will definitely be recognized by the people in the restaurant."

Hearing this, Shen Yan'er understood Xiaoqing's intentions and asked tentatively, "What do you mean, persuading Baoyin to stay?" ”

Unexpectedly, Xiaoqing shook her head, hooked the corners of her mouth to reveal a smile that she was playing with some bad idea, and said, "Wrong, it is to persuade Jing Hao to stay." ”

Bao Yin and Jing Hao are both eyeliners who are ordered by Phoenix Ke to monitor their actions, although they have not seen anything abnormal so far, but they always feel uneasy when they act together, in addition to worrying about external enemies, they must always be on guard against internal ghosts, so naturally they can find a way to get one less and one less. And between Baoyin and Jinghao, it is undoubtedly that Baoyin is more threatening, so she should be left aside when acting, but Xiaoqing's thoughts are diametrically opposed to Shen Yan'er's, which makes Shen Yan'er a little unpredictable.

"Baoyin's suspicion is so serious, I definitely won't agree, it's better for us to offer to let Jinghao stay from the beginning." Without waiting for Shen Yan'er to ask, Xiaoqing said it herself. It does sound reasonable, Shen Yan'er nodded in agreement.

"What about Blackie?" Shen Yan'er asked again.

"Blackie must stay." Xiaoqing replied without thinking about it, "He is a man, he lives with the people in the restaurant, and he is easy to be found once he disappears." ”

This is true. In the past few days, Shen Yan'er and the other four women have lived in the same room, and they can cover up if they stay quiet, but Xiao Hei lives with the guy in the restaurant, and it is really difficult to get out. Xiao Hei couldn't go along, and the difficulty of the task doubled instantly, but Xiao Qing was right, Xiao Hei did not have the conditions to go with them this time.

"Don't worry, I'll protect you." Seeing Shen Yan'er's uneasiness, Xiaoqing took her hand and smiled. It's not that I don't believe Xiaoqing, but I don't believe in myself, and I'm worried that I will affect her in a dangerous moment of life and death.

Shen Yan'er lowered her head, and a slight sense of inferiority infected. Suppressing this sour feeling, she told herself again: "You can't rely on Xiao Hei anymore, you must let yourself grow up quickly, at least have the ability to protect yourself." ”

Thinking of this, Shen Yan'er nodded to Xiaoqing. "Just do as you say, let's go out of the city tonight to check it out." In this way, Shen Yan'er, who was distracted, forgot to think carefully about the real reason why Xiaoqing chose to walk with Baoyin.

It wasn't until "that incident" happened that it dawned on her.

In the evening of the same day, Shen Yan'er, Xiaoqing, and Baoyin sneaked to a secluded place at the foot of the city wall. With the help of Xiaoqing's ability to fight tunnels comparable to that of a mole, it only took less than half an hour for the three of them to get out of the ground.

It takes at least an hour to walk from the city to Lingshan, and it is already midnight when you arrive at Lingshan.

Under the moonlit night, the three of them hurriedly walked briskly against the cold wind that became more and more cold at night. Peicheng belongs to the desert land, the vegetation on the Ling Mountain is still sparse, and there are still bare loess slopes everywhere. Without vegetation to cover them, the three of them saw hundreds of tombstones standing in the cemetery from afar.

Some of the old ones have been weathered, and the edges have become smooth arcs, and some have been slightly skewed by the wind and sand over the years, which looks particularly strange. "Woo woo", the whistling wind is densely arranged, and the cemetery with countless graves is even more terrifying. Shen Yan'er, who was already terrified, was so frightened that she didn't even dare to breathe too loudly. (To be continued.) )
