Tianlou grabbed the horse and looked to the left, "I heard that there is a beautiful secluded house in this mountain, and there is a large pear blossom forest in the house. ”

Ji Yuluo looked at Tianlou, and Huo Di found that the place he was pointing to was the northeast, and the Lotus Garden was there.

The Lotus Garden does have a large pear blossom forest, but the lotus pond in the garden is more poetic. Therefore, the moonlit night was named Lotus Garden, not Pear Blossom Garden.

"It's cooler in the mountains, and the pear blossoms there may not have withered yet!" Tianlou turned the horse's head, "I'm free to take you there to enjoy the flowers!" ”

These words made Ji Yuluo vaguely feel that Tianlou knew the moonlit night. "Wow!"

Three hours later, the two came to the cemetery of Empress Chaolong.

In the lonely cemetery, spring insects chirp, and trees gently sway in the wind. A white moon hangs on the top of the mountain, covering the majestic cemetery with a layer of mist-colored light veil.

The leading Tianlou did not stop at the cemetery. Instead, turn onto a dirt path that widens to the west.

After a dense woods, come to a small village. There are about a dozen households.

Tianlou took out two low-key brocade robes from his baggage, kept the smoke-blue one for himself, and threw the eggplant-colored one to Ji Yuluo.

After the two of them put on the guard's clothes, Tianlou saw that there was a family with oil lamps still lit in a slightly higher terrain, so he walked towards that house.

knocked on the door of the courtyard and saluted: "Old man! We got lost here. I want to spend the night. ”

The old man looked at Tianlou and Ji Yuluo, who were holding the horse, and led them into the courtyard with a smile, and said: "The humble house is shabby, and the guest officer is not disgusted." ”

After a few kind words, Tianlou took out some broken silver from his sleeve and handed it to the old man, "Old man! It's a little meaning, please laugh at it! ”

The old man was shocked by the generosity of the comer, excused himself, and happily accepted it.

Come to the main house. The old man turned around to call the old lady to get up, but was stopped by Tianlou. There is no extra time, and the sky tower goes straight to the topic, "Old man! We want to go to Ewha Temple, but I don't know if we can go here? ”

The old man naturally glanced at the window. That direction is Beiming Mountain. "In the past, it was a shortcut to Ewhasa Temple. But after that landslide five years ago, there was no way out. If you want to go, you can go. It's just that you have to pass through the woods where there is no road, and the forests are so big that it's easy to get lost. ”

At the mention of the landslide in Beiming Mountain, Tianlou frowned, as if curiously asked, "Why did this Beiming Mountain have a landslide for no reason?" ”

"Who can say this! Speaking of which, although the part of the road side of Benming Mountain is empty from the middle to the bottom, the mountain is firm...... However, I can't say it either! At the beginning of the conversation, the old man became interested and continued: "In the first half month of the landslide, there seemed to be a lot of people on that road at night. It's a long way from there, and I can't see it very clearly. ”

"Someone has been there at night!" Tianlou deliberately glanced at Ji Yuluo,

She was looking at him in astonishment, and the strange Cheng dù was just as surprised as he had been when he had heard about it earlier.

"Yes! I have a higher ground here, and when I get up at night, I faintly see a bright fire moving, so it's strange, and I come down for a few nights. Someone should have been. The old man said, "Two years ago, a young man also came to ask me. ”

"Boy!" Ji Yuluo repeated blankly. Then he looked thoughtfully at the skyscraper. She had a hunch that the boy in the old man's mouth was Tianlou.

"Look at me, patronizing and talking to you, I forgot to boil water!" The old man turned to the door. There was a simple stove under the eaves, and the fire was extinguished, but on the stove there was a kettle blackened by the smoke of firewood.

Tianlou said to the old man in time: "Old man! We have urgent business, and since there is no road here, then we will take our leave. ”

"Why are you leaving?" The old man turned around in surprise.

"Isn't there an emergency? I have to go back the way I came! Tianlou said with a smile.

"Oooh!" Seeing that Tianlou had made up his mind, the old man no longer kept them, sent them out of the courtyard gate, pointed in the direction of Beiming Mountain, and said, "Follow this trail, which is the way out of the village." ”

Tianlou hugged his fists, "Thank you, old man!" ”

On the way out of the village, the two were silent. Until he got out of the village, Tianlou grabbed the horse, looked at the white moon hanging on the top of Beiming Mountain, and said, "Luo'er! After listening to the old man's words just now, don't you think that the collapse of the mountain in Beiming Mountain five years ago is different? ”

Thinking like this in her heart, Ji Yuluo said: "Are you saying that the landslide is man-made?" ”

Tianlou closed his eyelids to indicate that this was exactly what he meant, and then said: "After five years of secret investigation, as the old man just said, half of the middle and lower parts of the mountain on the side of the road in Beiming Mountain are empty, but the mountain is solid. If there were no major internal tremors, there would never have been a major collapse. ”

"I want to think about it!" Ji Yuluo looked at Beiming Mountain from afar and fell into painful memories.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she glanced at the peasant man and the peasant woman in front of the bed, and when she opened her eyes, there seemed to be a dull roar from the ground in her ears, but this roar was too closely connected with the loud noise that followed and the snow and sand that followed, so she always thought it was the sound of collapse.

"You're right! I remembered that there was a relatively small dull sound a second before the rumble and the sand and gravel came in my ears. The sound seemed to explode inside the mountain. ”

Tianlou's eyes were scorching, staring at Ji Yuluo with his eyebrows and eyes full of fear and pain.

She was a fake princess, and he never imagined that she had experienced an unprecedented landslide, but judging by her pained expression, she was undoubtedly a survivor of the catastrophe. And this topic suddenly reminded him of the masked man who escaped under his eyelids - Ji Yuluo's master.

At that time, the thing thrown out of the man's hand was like a small explosive in the mountains, more like the artillery used on the battlefield. If that man is the mastermind of the bombing. That Ji Yuluo is very likely to be saved by him.

The man saved her and taught her martial arts with ulterior motives, so she worshipped him and willingly obeyed him. There was a matter of her obeying orders to enter the palace, but she didn't know that the person who saved her was the mastermind of the mountain bombing.

The bombing of the mountain is to get rid of the only remaining princess of the royal family. That man had the ability to organize the bombing of the mountain, then the rest of the royal family followed...... Blood pear flower tissue ......

A series of events were connected in series, and Tianlou preliminarily concluded that the mysterious man who had been tracking down was the same person as the mastermind of the bombing.

Tonight was his last chance, and he had never been so eager to know who the mysterious man was. It's just that he didn't dare to think that Ji Yuluo would say who the man was, he only hoped that she could tell the situation at that time. At the very least, give him some useful information.

"Luo'er! The landslide at Beiming Mountain was clearly deliberate. Don't you want to catch the murderer? ”

From the Tianlou to the arsenal to check the whereabouts of saltpeter and sulfur, as well as the many rumors she heard about the death of royal personnel, Ji Yuluo recalled, "This landslide is aimed at the royal family? ”
