Zhao Shujiang pursed his lips and said, "The master is broad-minded and unwilling to take grace. If it wasn't for the master's rescue, where would Mingtong come from today? ”

Liu Yun shook his head, no longer entangled with Zhao Shujiang about this issue, but asked He Jingbian: "How is the line you are chasing?" ”

He Jingbian said in a deep voice: "Tell the master, the subordinates are incompetent, and the line of pursuit will be broken when it reaches Gusu." The only thing that is certain of the subordinates is that the daughter of the princess of Nanshan Country did appear in Gusu back then. The subordinates also visited an elderly craftsman, who said that he and his master had taken over a strange business back then. ”

"Oh?" Liu Yun couldn't help but perk up, so he asked, "Let's talk about it carefully." ”

He Jingbian said: "This craftsman said that the business that his master took back then was to dig an ice cellar for a family and build a house in the cellar. It is said that this business is nothing, but according to the craftsman's recollection, this ice cellar was dug very deep, and this family lived in an extremely remote area, and they took a few masters and apprentices to walk in a carriage for two days before they arrived, at first they thought it was a household in the mountains, but the remuneration given by this family was very rich, but it was much richer than ordinary households, and they were usually very generous, and once they also rewarded their master with a gold ingot, which was very rich. The craftsman had talked privately with his master, and they all said that he had never heard of such a luxurious family in the mountains outside Gusu City, which made him feel very strange. ”

Liu Yun asked, "Where does this family live?" ”

He Jing said: "Back to the master, if you talk about the second weirdness of this matter, it is here." Three months before taking over the business, the craftsman's brothers and their master somehow fell ill with blindness, and within three months they were all blind. They invited a number of doctors to come and see them, but they couldn't get a good treatment. At that time, they thought that they would never be able to be craftsmen again for this life. Whoever wants to have such a coincidence. Just when they were almost desperate, this single job fell from the sky, and the reward was extremely high, which could ensure food and clothing for the rest of their lives. Therefore, the master and apprentice were very grateful to this family, and they dug this ice cellar for more than half a year before it was completed, during which the family was not in a hurry, and sent people to work with them. ”

Hear this. Liu Yun's long eyebrows frowned. Said: "Since you have blindness, you don't know where your master's house is." It's just that this coincidence really makes people have to think about it. Just before taking the deal. The master and apprentice were suddenly all blind, how could there be such a clever thing in the world? ”

He Jing said: "Master, there is a third strangeness in this matter. ”

Liu Yun said in a deep voice: "Say." ”

He Jing said: "The third strange thing is that in the years after completing this business. The blindness of the master and apprentice has been cured one after another, and now the craftsman is deaf and clear-sighted. There are no eye diseases. ”

Liu Yun raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "There is still this matter?" ”

Zhao Shujiang couldn't help but widen a pair of copper bell-like eyes, and interjected: "It's really strange." ”

Liu Yun pondered for a moment and said slowly: "As far as I know. Located in the middle of the sea, Nanshan is rich in all kinds of exotic flowers and plants, many of which can be used as medicine. The secret medicine of Nanshan Country is also strange and world-famous. It is said that I know that the secret medicine is colorless and tasteless, and it is often difficult for people to guard against it. At that time, the first emperor personally conquered the Nanshan Kingdom. It was only when the masters of Chinese medicine in that country passed away one after another, and there was no successor, that he won in one fell swoop. If the blindness of the master and apprentice was not man-made, no one would believe it. I'm afraid that this is indispensable to the role of the secret medicine of Nanshan. ”

He Jingbian's eyes were already shining at this time, and he said, "The master is high-minded." The subordinates also thought that the ice cellar dug by the craftsman was probably commissioned by the people of Nanshan. If this is the case, it shows that the line pursued by the master is correct, and the secret of Nanshan Country is ...... I'm afraid that it will be near Gusu left. ”

Liu Yun nodded, his slender fingers lightly pressed on the table, and he didn't speak for a long time.

He Jing raised his eyes to look at Liu Yun, and suddenly remembered the figure of the girl he had just seen.

Although Fang Cai only glanced at it in a hurry, the girl's delicate and round chin, snow-white skin and red lips, as well as the cold eyes hidden behind the light veil, all made He Jingbian feel an inexplicable sense of familiarity, and also reminded him of a person:

The fourth girl of the Hou Mansion of Pingnan.

On the night of the Shangyuan Festival four years ago, in the courtyard of the little prince of the Wenguo Mansion, He Jingbian had a relationship with Miss Fu Si, and he had an impression of the appearance of this Miss Fu.

And the light gauze girl I saw today, although her face has grown a lot, the indifference between her eyebrows has not changed. I heard that Miss Fu lived in her grandfather's house in Gusu Mansion. He Jingbian felt that the girl he met today was probably the fourth girl Fu.

At this moment, he was hesitating whether to tell Liu Yun about it.

At this moment, I heard Zhao Shujiang suddenly say: "Master, if his subordinates drive the car, blindfold the craftsman's eyes, and then take the craftsman for a walk, will the craftsman be able to remember the road back then?" ”

Liu Yun was silent when he heard this, and He Jingbian said: "Master, my subordinates also thought about this, and took the craftsman into the carriage, but the craftsman can't remember the road he took back then." ”

Liu Yun stood up, paced back and forth at the table for two steps, and said slowly: "More than forty years have passed since this incident, and this craftsman is too old to remember. Besides, it's unclear whether the rumors are true or not, so I'll just check them out. With that, he let out a long sigh.

He Jingbian and Zhao Shujiang did not talk, but only stood with their hands solemn.

After a while, Liu Yun asked again: "Lao Zhao, what is the progress of the matter you investigated?" ”

Zhao Shujiang crossed his hands and said: "Master Qiqi, the subordinate people have followed that person, and that person lives in a small inn in Changlu Lane, and he goes to the restaurant all day long, asking people everywhere for news, and his subordinates have not asked anyone to move him." ”

Liu Yun nodded and said, "Very good, continue to stare at him." After that, he glanced at Zhao Shujiang with a smile and said approvingly: "Lao Zhao is much more stable now." ”

When Zhao Shujiang heard this, he opened his mouth and laughed, scratched his scalp again, and said embarrassedly: "The master has won the prize." The subordinates also learned from the master. ”

Liu Yun nodded, raised his head and looked at the distant mountains outside the courtyard wall, and suddenly felt a little excited in his heart, so he said to He Jingbian: "I heard that this Lingyan Temple has an excellent view, Lao He and I went out for a walk." With that, he walked to the outside, and He Jingbian followed silently.

Go out from the courtyard and go to the left, there is a white stone path that slopes upward, as thin as a sheep's intestine, like a line of jade marks, inlaid among the new green trees in the mountain.

Liu Yun didn't know the direction, so he just walked up the path, enjoying the scenery in the temple. (To be continued)
