248. 245: Seeking
Tang Li didn't come back as soon as they went out, and there was no information, Nangong Heng sent people to search in the middle of the night, but there was no news after searching the entire capital, there was a restaurant that saw the portrait and said that a few people had come here to eat during the day, and then left, but it is likely that he knows Cao Zhengyang, maybe go to Cao Zhengyang's place to play.
And Cao Zhengyang was drunk in a flower building, and in the middle of the night, when he was ecstasy, he was picked up from the bed, took out the portrait and asked for a long time, he didn't know what was going on, he couldn't remember seeing Tang Li during the day, he only remembered that this was the woman who Liang Cheng had done to him, but why did he suddenly come to interrogate him, he didn't know.
The shopkeeper said that Cao Zhengyang knew, but Cao Zhengyang said that he didn't know, Baili Wuyang stood there looking at Cao Zhengyang who was shirtless, and he didn't know why he felt uncomfortable, and kicked him back to the bed and left with someone.
After dawn, Baili Wuyang had not rested all night, he arrived at the city gate, asked a few guards who were on duty at the city gate yesterday, and two said that Tang Li and they seemed to have gone out of the city, but they didn't know where they went.
"Go back." Baili Wuyang glanced at the direction of the ghost house, and then ordered the group of guards who followed behind him to go back, and the group of guards respectfully answered "yes" and then turned to leave, Baili Wuyang is now a friend of the emperor, and they don't need to ask some boring itinerary to provoke.
Tang Li, you really don't let people worry, Baili Wuyang sighed slightly in her heart, did she not let herself worry, or was she too careful?
Baili Wuyang rode out of the city gate on horseback and rushed towards the direction of the ghost house, Tang Li could only go there if he went out of the city, just as his figure left the city gate, another slightly hurried figure appeared at the city gate, with a trace of fatigue on his thin face, but his eyes were so sharp that he couldn't see a trace of relaxation.
Nangong was by no means surprised that the capital had recovered so quickly, and the guards guarding the city let him in after interrogating him a few words.
At this time, the capital was lively and prosperous, and the bustling flow of people drowned Nangong by the end, he seemed to be a little accustomed to the deserted life by the river, and he also liked the desolation of the capital when he came last time, and suddenly saw so many people, his face was even worse, and the cold breath in the crowd made the people who passed by him a little curious to take a few more looks.
Nangong Jue went to the inn in the alley, the inn full of corpses and blood at that time was actually reopened at this time, maybe the new shopkeeper didn't know about it, many people returned to the capital after the situation stabilized, Nangong Jue walked into the inn, the inn was clean, and only a few people were eating.
"Guest, what do you want to eat?" Xiao Er saw Nangong Jue coming in, and hurriedly asked diligently.
Nangong didn't pay attention to Xiao Er, but looked around the inn, wanting to see if there would be any trace of that woman, he was no different from looking for a needle in a haystack, but he only had this way.
"Guest?" The shopkeeper saw that Nangong Jue Bird was not a bird, and shouted again a little depressed.
"I don't eat it." Nangong Jue's simple words made Xiao Er's happy face immediately turn cold, he glanced at Nangong Jue, he looked very handsome, or a poor ghost?
There is no Tang Li downstairs, will it be upstairs? Nangong Jue raised his feet and walked upstairs, and Xiao Er, who just wanted to walk away to greet other guests, saw Nangong Jue's movements, and immediately stopped again, and returned to a smile: "Is the guest officer going to stay in the hotel?" ”
"Don't stop." Nangong Jue felt that this shopkeeper was really annoying, there were so many questions, wouldn't he say that he wanted to eat and live in the hotel?
"Hey, what are you going up if you don't live in the store?" Xiao Er also felt that this person was a little sick, so he said angrily.
If the shopkeeper knew what Nangong Jue had done here, let alone go to the second floor, it was estimated that Nangong Jue would not say a word when he walked to the roof, the problem was that he really didn't know, not only he didn't know, but the shopkeeper didn't know, so the shopkeeper didn't stop the shopkeeper's behavior.
"Don't eat, don't live in the store, hurry up and get out, don't get in the way of our business!" The shopkeeper shouted arrogantly at Nangong Jue, and several other people who were eating were also attracted to the attention, and they all watched the show.
In this world, being poor is being bullied, and everyone wants to see what this poor and sour man will be bullied into, which can be regarded as a kind of psychological trouble, because Nangong is definitely better looking than them, in fact, men who are good-looking will also be jealous.
The shopkeeper didn't say anything when he saw Nangong, he just looked at himself coldly, and there were other people who were also watching the show here, and he was a little bolder: "What do you see, what are you doing when you come in without money?" ”
Nangong didn't have so much time to talk nonsense with Xiao Er, and he didn't want to do it at this time and cause unnecessary trouble, so he directly pulled Xiao Erwang next to him, and then strode upstairs.
"I said you are a real person!" The shopkeeper saw that Nangong definitely didn't take him seriously at all, so many guest officers looked so embarrassed, although he was just a shopkeeper, but even if he was a beggar, he had a bit of dignity, right? He angrily followed Nangong Jue upstairs, but Nangong Jue turned around and kicked him down.
The people who watched the show laughed, and the shopkeeper hurriedly ran over to ask what was going on, the shopkeeper got up from the ground, his bones were almost broken, and he pointed to Nangong Jue, who continued to walk upstairs: "This person doesn't eat and doesn't live in the store, but he has to go upstairs, what if he disturbs the rest of the guest officers?" ”
The shopkeeper has seen more people than the young shopkeeper, and he has encountered many things, looking at Nangong Jue's kick just now, if he is ruthless, Xiao Er may have to be scrapped, and he has seen a lot of people doing business outside, most of them are to find people, there is no need to block more, if he can't find it, he will naturally leave, and the shopkeeper doesn't want to go up and take a kick, so he said to Xiao Er: "Forget it, get up and go to serve food." ”
"But-" The shopkeeper himself was kicked in vain, a little unconvinced.
"But what's that, go and serve!" The shopkeeper interrupted Xiao Er's words angrily, is this Xiao Er a blind man? The man who just went up was not a master to be messed with at first glance, but the poor were terrible, what if he didn't want to make a fuss? Do you still want to do business?
The shopkeeper glanced at the second floor angrily, Nangong Jue's figure was gone, and he wanted to say that he couldn't go up and steal something? As a result, the shopkeeper glared at him, and he had no choice but to shut up.
About half an hour later, Nangong Jue came down, and the shopkeeper watched angrily and disgustedly as Nangong Jue's figure walked out of the inn and disappeared from sight, today is really unlucky!
There was almost no pause along the way, Baili Wuyang was anxious at this time, he was very worried that something would happen to Tang Li, so he would be sorry for Nangong Jue, and he would be sorry for himself, he should have come out with her if he knew it.
On the other side, Tang Li and the four people had already climbed the cliff and entered the ghost house hungry, and the maids in the ghost house knew Tang Li and them, and knew that they were friends of Baili Wuyang, so they also arranged a sumptuous meal to entertain them, Tang Li originally wanted to return to the river bank last night, but was stopped by Amu.
"If you really want to go, wait until you return to the capital and then plan it, it's too dangerous to go like this." Amu said.
Tang Li didn't know whether to complain or be grateful to Amu, she knew that Amu was just worried about her safety, but it was only a little bit, just a little bit to determine whether that person was Nangong Jue, plus the last time they met in the capital, they had already passed by twice, Tang Li was really unwilling.
"Sister, let's eat first to fill your stomach." Hua Yuying didn't know much about the relationship between Tang Li and Nangong Jue, but she could see that Tang Li was very unhappy, and she sandwiched a large piece of chicken to Tang Li.
Tang Li picked up the dishes and chopsticks and reluctantly showed a smile: "Okay." ”
After eating, they were going to rush back to the capital, and I don't know if Baili Wuyang and Nangong Heng would think that something had happened to these people, the maid of the ghost house prepared horses for a few people, one Tang Li, one Hua Yuying, and one Amu, as for Aliu, Tang Li asked her to be with Amu.
"Miss, I'd better go with Yuying." Ah Liu saw Amu's embarrassment and took the initiative to say.
Tang Li shook his head again and again: "How can this work, Amu riding skills are the best here, Yuying and I are both very poor in riding, what if I fall?" ”
Hua Yuying heard it, no, is she very good at riding? She opened her mouth and wanted to defend herself, but Tang Li covered her mouth: "Oh Yuying, didn't you rinse your mouth today?" It tastes! ”
Have it? Hua Yuying closed her mouth nervously, she really didn't rinse her mouth today, she was so tired last night, she didn't want to move at all after climbing to the ghost house, and after sleeping in the room for a while, she got up to eat directly.
"Come on." This time, Amu was not as awkward as Aliu, and he seemed to realize that he was too pedantic, so after getting on the horse, he stretched out his hand to Aliu and bowed his head and said.
Ah Liu looked up at Ah Mu who was smiling slightly, that handsome face was so good-looking, she nervously tugged at her sleeves, Tang Li couldn't stand it anymore, and walked over and pushed Ah Liu: "Go up!" ”
"Okay......" Ah Liu reacted at this time, and hurriedly reached out to grab Amu's hand, Amu dragged her up a little harder, just sitting in his arms, Tang Li looked at the two with a smile, what a match!
"Sister, let's go." After Hua Yuying got on the horse, she covered her mouth and said vaguely, as if she was afraid that her tone would be smelled, Tang Li looked at Hua Yuying guiltily, girl, I'm sorry.
Tang Li also turned over and got on the horse, she exhaled deeply, thinking of the man she met last night, she couldn't calm down in her heart, was it really him? I can't go wrong, I must find a way to go there again after returning to the capital, but I can't be so reckless.
This recklessness almost hurt everyone, Tang Li pinched his arm with some annoyance, and he must not make a decision after drinking next time.
The road from the ghost house to the capital, Zeng Jintang Li was very confused, how could there be such a complicated road? It was difficult to distinguish the direction of the trees and mountains everywhere she passed, but after this time she came and went back and forth several times, she was really familiar with this road a little too much, several people shuttled through the woods, it was almost evening at this time, and the afterglow of the setting sun spilled into the woods, breaking into a little light among the branches.
"Let's come down and rest." Tang Li felt that his legs were a little numb, so he said.
Amu Aliu they have no opinion, and the surrounding woods are dense, while the sky is not completely dark, it is also a good choice to hunt some prey to eat, after choosing a relatively empty land and stopping, Tang Li dismounted and stretched, and then asked everyone: "Do you want to go hunting pheasants?" There should be something here. ”
"Wow!" Hua Yuying was the first to agree.
"You wait here for me, I'll call back." Amu tied up the horses and said to Tang Li.
