On the second day, on a sunny day, the chill in Luoyang a few days ago subsided a lot.

Yue and Chen Qiuniang had breakfast and walked around Luoyang City a few times. Chen Qiuniang asked, "Have those people contacted you?" ”

"Last night, I went out of the city to the woods without permission, but I waited until dawn, and no one contacted me." month answered.

Chen Qiuniang secretly didn't know if what she said was true or not, but she didn't debunk it, she only said "oh", and then said: "According to my inference, they must be in Luoyang City, presumably the time is not ripe now, if they are ripe, they will definitely contact us." ”

"Hmm." Tsukiya nodded.

The two went to the market again, looked at some old buildings, and walked around the Luoyang Palace, which was regarded as a visit to Luoyang City in the early Song Dynasty. Until noon, there was nothing unusual, and there didn't even seem to be anyone following the two. The two found a restaurant, ordered some light dishes, and dealt with it. And while eating, there were people carrying baskets of melons and fruits to peddle pears.

Yue asked the man to leave, and the girl didn't like to eat pears. But the man said, "Your son loves to eat." ”

The two of them suddenly changed their faces, and Chen Qiuniang shouted in a deep voice: "Presumptuous." If you dare to touch him, you will not inquire who he is. ”

The woman who was selling melons and fruits was startled, and hurriedly cried and said, "This is what an uncle asked me to come up to talk to you and the two of you, and it's none of my business." Noble man, you see, this, this is the reward. As she spoke, the woman showed a gold leaf.

Chen Qiuniang frowned, took the gold leaf and looked at it, just as she was about to return it to the woman. But I smelled a familiar scent. She took it and sniffed it again, and when she was sure that it was a familiar taste, she returned the gold leaf to the woman and let her go. The woman thanked her and left, but Chen Qiuniang could no longer eat.

Yue saw that her brows were tightly knit, so she asked anxiously, "Madam, is there any news?" ”

Chen Qiuniang shook her head and said, "No." Let's go around and wait for the man to contact us. With that, she got up and went down to the restaurant. Wander around. The master and servant wandered around. At the twilight of the near sun, he was suddenly bumped into by a man who was hurrying at the gate of the west gate. When Chen Qiuniang got up from the ground, she found a letter stuffed into her belt, and there was only one line on the letter: Before the city gate was locked. Out of the West Gate.

Master and servant. Take a look around. But they didn't see the brocade-robed man again, so the two had no choice but to do so and go back to the inn. Settle the house money, pack up the baggage, and lead his horse straight out of the west gate of Luoyang. Chen Qiuniang believes that after doing this series of things, Cao Can must be aware of it, and she also has subordinates, hoping that Cao Can can be as powerful as Zhang Ci said, and become the key to turning things around this time.

The two of them went out of the west gate of Luoyang, and the sun had sunk into the undulating mountains. Not long after leaving the West Gate, I saw an old woman in ragged clothes blocking the road and asking, "Dare to ask, but is it the mother of the Zhang family?" ”

"Who are you?" Chen Qiuniang looked at the old woman, and her clothes were too much like a village woman.

"I am the old woman in the village in front of me. Are you the mother of the Zhang family? The old woman spoke the authentic Luoyang dialect (the Mandarin of the early Song Dynasty was based on the Luoyang dialect) and asked stubbornly.

"I am Jiang Danfeng, the mother of the Zhang family." Chen Qiuniang replied loudly, and Yue looked around cautiously, for fear that someone would have a secret arrow.

"Do you have proof?" The old woman asked again.

Chen Qiuniang showed the jade plaque directly, and when the old woman saw it, she immediately took out a piece of paper in her hand and looked at it, and said: "There is a person who asks the old woman to wait here and brings you a word: let you go to Chang'an quickly." ”

"Dare to ask the old woman, who entrusted you?" Chen Qiuniang knew that she couldn't ask anything, but she still had to learn about it.

The old woman shook her head and said, "It's a carriage, the curtain is drawn, and I don't know who it is." However, the words spoken are like the accents of the Qin Chuan generation. ”

"Thank you, old woman, it's getting late, in the wilderness, you should go home quickly." Chen Qiuniang said, rode the horse all the way to the west, and went straight to Chang'an.

From Luoyang to Chang'an, or from Chang'an to Luoyang. In history, there have been countless celebrities, generals, literati and artists. It also left a lot of legends and poems on this dangerous official road. Because it was night and there was no moon, the road was very steep. Chen Qiuniang and Yue walked slowly and found a room to rest in a wild shop.

On the second day, as soon as the sky was bright, the two rushed to Chang'an. But when he arrived at the foot of Mount Hua, he met an old man and gave a hint to let Chen Qiuniang take a detour and go to Qinchuan at a speed. Chen Qiuniang asked: "Uncle, Qinchuan is so big, do you say where to go?" ”

"Let you go to Qinchuan to know." The old man replied.

"Madam, this is literally leading us by the nose." Moon said.

Chen Qiuniang rode forward and said: "The initiative is in the hands of the other party, and we have no other way." ”

"Madam, in this way, I am afraid that it will be difficult for you to let them out of their arrangement before." Moon sighs.

Chen Qiuniang didn't make any comments on this, but only asked: "Are you familiar with Qin Chuan?" ”

"In the past, we were here with Childe. Gongzi himself entered the Qinling Mountains, and he is quite familiar. Moon replied.

"What did he do in the Qinling Mountains?" Chen Qiuniang was very puzzled, in the past few years, she had never heard Zhang Ci mention the Qinling Mountains.

"Madame, do you remember the Stone Forest Formation behind Liuhe Town? Gongzi entered the Qinling Mountains because of the secret industry of the Zhang family in the Qinling Mountains. Moon explained.

Chen Qiuniang nodded suddenly and said, "I see." After saying that, she immediately whipped her horse and galloped her horse.

The autumn wind cuts the face, whirring by, and it is so cold that it is heartwarming. The horse galloped wildly, Chen Qiuniang didn't know how to remember the matter of learning to ride a horse with Dai Yuanqing that day on the bumpy horse, and she was full of emotion in her heart: It turns out that some things always have a great effect in other places, or this is called fate, everything can be the cause of another thing, or it may be the effect of another thing.

However, it was said that the two of them were temporarily diverted to Qinchuan. The ancients often said: 800 miles of Qinchuan, but it is not a place name, referring to the plain of the Guanhan generation in Shaanxi. This plain ensured the grain abundance of the Qin State during the Warring States Period and became one of the reasons why the Qin State became strong. To the south of the Guanhan Plain is to enter the Qinling Mountains. The ancients wrote a poem: Where is the home of the Qinling Mountains, it can be seen that the Qinling Mountains are high and big.

At dusk, the road finally became flat, which meant that it had entered Qinchuan. The two were exhausted, so they dismounted and found a farmer's house to live in. Chen Qiuniang never said a word, she thought of the familiar smell on the gold leaf, she was very puzzled, and there was a faint sense of foreboding. In addition, now that she came to this Qinchuan and was getting closer and closer to the Qinling Mountains, she suddenly remembered that it seemed that she met the wine cellar in the Qinling Mountains in this area that day, and thus her soul penetrated here.

Is there any certainty in the dark? At night, Chen Qiuniang sat in the courtyard of the farmer's house, looking at the mysterious starry sky and the faintly visible mountains, and her heart was very unsteady.

And in this lonely mountain village, suddenly someone flashed from the door of this farmer's house in a very fast figure, and Chen Qiuniang also jumped out and ran towards the person, the dagger in her sleeve was clenched. (To be continued......)
