An Lan didn't explain, was silent for a while, and asked rhetorically, "Why are you so familiar with that place?" ”

Tang Zheng was looking for a comfortable place to lean, tilted his head to the side, and thought about it for a while before saying: "When I left Chang'an again, when I settled in Hegu, I fell ill and spent all the money on my body, so I went to the casino to find a miscellaneous errand and met a few people in Luoyan Valley. Later, I offended the people in the casino and had nowhere to go, so I ran to Luoyan Valley and mixed up for two years. When he said this, he glanced at An Lan, and then explained, "I didn't become a thief, I just ran errands, and after the matter of the casino faded, I left Luoyan Valley." ”

An Lan didn't ask much, and after nodding slightly, she spoke: "Someone wants to be unfavorable to my husband, I don't know if Luoyan Valley was used by him." ”

Tang Zheng didn't ask too much, and when he heard An Lan say this, he hugged his arm and said: "Frankly speaking, that prince was born like a thief, and he was there alone yesterday, but the people in that valley generally only take money and will not hurt people's lives." ”

"Last night, I asked the guards to go to Luoyan Lake to check, and saw that there were blood stains there, and I also found Mr.'s sachet at the mouth of the valley." An Lan took out the sachet as she spoke, and handed it to Tang Zheng.

Tang Zheng took a look at it, raised his eyes in surprise, but hesitated for a moment before saying: "When I left, there were about eighty families in the valley, nearly four hundred large and small, and there were more than 100 young and strong men. Over the years, those men have more or less wielded knives and guns. There are those who are naturally timid, but people also run on the mountains every day. Chop wood and burn charcoal to make a living. They don't have anything else, but brute force is never lacking, what use can you use if you bring such a few people over? No matter how powerful you are, you can't deal with dozens of them alone! ”

An Lan was silent, Tang Zheng scratched the back of his head, and asked again, "Did you report to the official?" This matter has to be handled by the government! You don't know, the government has long wanted to clean up that place, and the Xue family also wants to occupy that place, so ......"

"The Xue family?" An Lan was puzzled. Suddenly, he spoke. "The Xue family wants to occupy the Wild Goose Valley? Why? ”

"Oh, I also heard from the car dealership, it seems that it is because there is a place in Luoyan Valley that produces incense every year, which is quite valuable. In fact, it's not just the Xue family. Hegu is in the line of spices. They all stared at it, but because the people in the valley didn't let go, no one could reach in. ”

"So there is such a thing." An Lan had a realization on her face. whispered.

Tang Zheng looked at her: "Do you really want to go over?" ”

An Lan looked at him and said, "After you take me into the valley, go back, it's none of your business." ”

Tang Zheng frowned suddenly: "I'm not worried about myself, I'm worried about you!" ”

"I know."

Tang Zheng waved his hand a little helplessly: "Ah, forget it, I'll take you in, if something really happens, I'll find a way to take you out." ”

At this time, it was still early, and the car was still very dark, although the two of them could basically see each other's facial features clearly, but they couldn't see each other's expressions and the love in their eyes, An Lan was silent for a long time, until the carriage was about to go to Luoyan Valley, she said in a low voice: "Xiaohui's matter, I made an unforgivable mistake by ignorance back then, and now it won't be like this anymore, you take me in and leave, or, you get off now." ”

Tang Zheng was stunned for a moment, slowly sat up straight, and scolded: "I'm cāo!" ”

An Lan sat there a little indifferently, without any intention of changing her mind.

"An Lan, Lao Tzu told you!" Tang Zheng wiped his face and glared at her, "It doesn't matter if you believe it or not, I didn't blame you at all for Xiaohui's business." ”

An Lan lowered her eyes, and her voice was a little sluggish: "I know." ”

Otherwise, he would not have entrusted him to the kind-hearted tooth woman back then, and he would not have avenged Xiaohui and would have come back to her immediately.

"You know a!" Tang Zheng scolded again, "I know that you are great now, you are confident, and you feel that it is the same with me or not, but you really don't want to make a big deal, there are some things, you really can't do without me!" ”

An Lan said: "I don't think so. ”

Tang Zheng snorted, ignored her, and had no intention of getting out of the car.

An Lan finally didn't say anything to stop the carriage, but after a long time, she whispered: "Thank you!" ”

Tang Zheng pretended not to hear, still ignored her, leaned there motionlessly, and simply closed his eyes.

……

When the sun came out, they also happened to arrive in Luoyan Valley, Tang Zheng opened his eyes, sat up, lifted the curtain and looked out, and said: "Let the carriage go directly inside, remember to the right when you reach the fork in the road, and see a place with grass on the road to go around, it is a pit, if the horse steps into it, it will be wasted." ”

The attendant of the car squinted his eyes and looked into the valley, frowning, although the sun came out at this time, but the sun had not yet fully shone into the valley, and when he looked up, he saw that the fog in front of him was thick, the road was narrow and narrow, and there were hidden pits!

After a long journey, the carriage could not go any further, and several times the horse almost let the horse step into the pit.

"Get out of the car, you can only walk when you get here, and it's not far anyway." Tang Zheng got out of the car first, at this time the expression on his face was a little solemn, he knew that there had always been people in the valley who were guarding at the mouth of the valley, and today there was such an eye-catching carriage, followed by several guards who were so stylish, why did those who were guarding disappear?

"What's wrong?" Seeing him stop, An Lan asked, "Did you notice something wrong?" ”

Tang Zheng nodded: "Anyway, be careful, I suspect that something should happen in the valley, you follow." ”

An Lan is not surprised that something will happen in the valley, since Mr. has already entered, of course something will happen inside, and the only thing she is worried about is whether what happens is beneficial to Mr. or not to Mr.

After a while, they walked into the village in the valley, but to their surprise, this place was even quieter than the hall of the Mongol Mansion last night, not to mention the human voices, not even the sound of birds, and the whole village seemed to have disappeared.

"Could it be that Chengdu went up the mountain?" Tang Zheng pushed open the door of the fourth house, looked at the empty house, and whispered in confusion.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he saw a gray-haired old man come out of a hut and said slowly, "The women and children have gone up the mountain, and the rest are over there. As he spoke, he pointed westward.

Tang Zheng was puzzled: "Women and children? Why did they go up the mountain? ”

The old man sat down on the stool at the door, glanced at him, and said with some disdain: "It's not because you're here, go and go, it's all waiting for you there." ”

Tang Zheng wanted to ask something, but An Lan shook his head at him, and then walked west. (To be continued......)
