271. 268: Passing through a haunted house
Nangong Jue walked in the woods for a while, it was already dark, Lu Mengyao followed behind and trembled, after all, this was not the back mountain she was familiar with, what if there were monsters here? She bit her lower lip and glanced at Nangong Jue, and her heart settled down a little, she believed that Nangong Jue would protect her.
"There's a road here?" Lu Mengyao saw that there seemed to be a path in the grass leading to it, and she said to Nangong Jue.
Nangong Jue also found out, he looked up, this road seems to be able to climb to it, and, since there is a road, it means that someone has walked here, and I don't know what place it is.
"Go up." Nangong Absolute Lu Mengyao said, Lu Mengyao nodded, and then walked in front of Nangong Jue, walking to the top, the road was very steep, she had to keep pulling the vines next to her before she dared to go up, for fear of falling.
Nangong Jue followed unhurriedly behind, without any pressure, Lu Mengyao glanced back, and her admiration for Nangong Jue increased a few points, and sure enough, the man who was calm was the most handsome.
The more he walked up, out of the shroud of the woods, the line of sight became much clearer, the moonlight was very bright, and the road above seemed to be easier to walk, Lu Mengyao quickened her pace.
"This is ......" When she got to it, Lu Mengyao was a little dazed, surrounded by large black woods, and in a slightly empty place, there was a gloomy-looking mansion with "ghost house" written on it, and the two words were still a little shining.
Nangong Jue, who came up later, also saw the ghost house.
It seems that there is only one mansion in this area.
"It looks so weird out there." Lu Mengyao leaned closer to Nangong Jue and said with some horror.
"Hmm." Nangong Jue didn't feel any danger, on the contrary, he felt that this place was somewhat familiar, he glanced down, how could he be so familiar with the environment here? Have you been here before?
"No," searched the entire courtyard, the guards all came out, Ah Liu and Ah Mu also looked around the back of the courtyard from the courtyard, and did not see anyone, Ah Liu couldn't bear to say this answer.
Nangong Heng's face is not much better, his relatives in this world are Nangong Jue and Nangong Ze, Nangong Ze is no longer a brother to him, so Nangong Jue, the imperial brother, is particularly precious.
"No......" Tang Li muttered, the joy when she came had disappeared, only the disappointment in her eyes remained, she looked at the bamboo house, why did she think that Nangong had never been here? There was his aura here, and Tang Li really didn't want to believe the results of the search.
Lu Jiang had already sat down in the courtyard at this time, continued to drink, and after seeing Tang Li and them finished searching, he asked without a word, "How is it?" Is there someone you're looking for? β
Baili Wuyang's hair was gradually turning white at this time, a trace of consternation flashed in Lu Jiang's eyes, but he quickly calmed down, there are many strange things in the world, it is possible that someone's hair will turn white at night, but the caution in Lu Jiang's heart has never been put down, this white-haired man is definitely not easy to mess with.
"You said that only you and your daughter live here, why is there any sign that all three rooms are occupied?" Baili Wuyang asked, he had already discovered this problem, the room full of medicine, covered with quilts, was obviously inhabited.
"I live in two rooms, sometimes I'm getting medicine, I don't bother to go back to my room to sleep, so I set up a bed there, if you don't believe me, just wait here, and see when you can wait for the person you are looking for, I'm going to sleep." Lu Jiang got up and left these words, then walked back to his room slowly and closed the door.
came here in a hurry, but what she got was such a result, Tang Li's full of anticipation and joy turned into thin needles, and it hurt in her heart, she sat in the position where Lu Jiang had sat just now, her eyes were a little dull and looked at a vacant land in a daze, and they didn't know how to comfort Tang Li.
Among this group of people, the person who had the greatest expectations for Nangong Jue was Tang Li, and all she did was to hope that she could find Nangong Jue soon, but now she was so disappointed that she sat there motionless like a stone, completely motionless.
"Miss......" Ah Liu sighed and sat down beside Tang Li, she didn't know how to comfort Tang Li.
The night breeze was quiet, a group of people were crowded in the narrow courtyard, Nangong Heng lowered his head and couldn't see clearly, Amu and Hua Yuying both looked at Tang Li worriedly, and Shuo Feng was also guarding the gate of the courtyard, so as not to have an accident.
Baili Wuyang looked at Tang Li, who was lost and depressed, with a faint bitterness in his heart, he himself was disappointed, he originally chose to believe Tang Li, if he could find Nangong Jue, he could also sober up and return Tang Li to Nangong Jue, but now he is ......
"Let's go." In the end, it was Tang Li who broke the silence, her voice was a little hoarse, low, and it sounded like a pang in the heart.
"Let's go, he's not here." Tang Li lowered his head, a wry smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, and said, "I'm sorry, my impulse caused you to run in vain." β
also had to hide from Yang Fang in the capital, and came here so secretly and riskily, but the result was only to completely break the illusion in her heart, Tang Li's eyes were so dry that she didn't even have the strength to cry.
I lasted so long so that one day when he came back, he could proudly tell him that he didn't let him down, Nangong Jue is such a proud and calm person, always scolding her, the princess of Qinglan Kingdom, for not having the appearance of a princess, Tang Li hopes that he can be brave and calm like him, so that he can be worthy of him.
But now Tang Li wants to cry very much, without Nangong Jue behind her, she can only hold on when she encounters danger, she doesn't even have a chance to be vulnerable, she doesn't dare to let Baili Wuyang and them see any loss and despair in her, because she knows very well that now everyone regards her as the backbone, she can't panic.
"Let's wait." Nangong Heng said.
"Wait for someone who won't come back, can you wait?" Tang Li got up, her shoulders drooped, step by step through Baili Wuyang and Amu, through Nangong Heng and Shuofeng, through the group of guards, she looked at the bright moon in the sky, it was so beautiful, did Nangong never see it?
Baili Wuyang was the first to follow, all his thoughts of going to arrest Lu Jiang and asking him everything he wanted to do were dispersed after Tang Li finished speaking, she may be in a bad mood now.
"Ghost ...... House? After Lu Mengyao approached the ghost house, she looked at the plaque and said: "This name is really infiltrating, why is it called a ghost house, and the fairy house is also good!" β
There was a faint yellow light from the door of the ghost house, it was very bright, Lu Mengyao was a little depressed, didn't close the door at night?
"Don't go in." Nangong Jue grabbed Lu Mengyao, who was about to go in.
"Let's go and ask if we can spend the night?" Lu Mengyao's thinking is also jumping, just now I said that this place is terrifying, and now I have to ask if I can spend the night, Nangong Jue is a little helpless, looking from the door, although the inside is bright, no matter how you look at it, you can't see the inside clearly, normal people know that there are ghosts.
"You're going to spend the night in a place like this?" Nangong Jue raised his eyebrows and asked.
Lu Mengyao was stunned for a moment, she seemed to be thinking about something, and then she retreated behind Nangong Jue with an embarrassed face: "Forget it, let's go quickly." β
It's eerie here, what if you go in and there's a pervert inside?
"Well," Nangong replied, he roughly estimated the direction of the capital, and walked towards a forest not far away, Lu Mengyao trotted to follow, looking back at the ghost house from time to time, for fear that someone would chase him out.
Nangong Jue also glanced back at the ghost house, this place is so familiar, he has thought about staying to figure out what is going on, but he just feels that this place is familiar, if his enemy lives here, or this place is very dangerous, he has encountered danger here before, so he feels familiar, so he is not asking for trouble to go in rashly?
After walking for a while, they arrived in the woods, and a path in the woods stretched deep into the woods, Nangong Jue and Lu Mengyao were going to go along that road, if Nangong had not miscalculated the direction, the direction of the capital was to that side.
"Ah Jue, what did you say to my father in the courtyard after I entered the room that day?" Walking and walking, there is no danger, Lu Mengyao became bold, and felt bored, so he asked Nangong Jue next to him.
Nangong said: "It's nothing. β
"Tell me, I'd love to know." Lu Mengyao has a bit of a coquettish taste, she knows that Lu Jiang must have mentioned revenge to Nangong Jue, but in fact, Lu Mengyao doesn't know much about the enemy, and she doesn't tell her much about the enemy's current situation since she was a child, although Lu Jiang has been secretly investigating.
"I want to take good care of you." Nangong Jue said casually.
"......" Lu Mengyao is a little embarrassed, that's for sure! After walking for a while, she asked again, "Nothing else?" β
Nangong Jue glanced at her, a pair of cold eyes were very conspicuous in the dim woods, Lu Mengyao could even see the depths of those eyes, but she couldn't see what was in the depths, she retracted her gaze a little panicked, and muttered: "If you don't say it, you won't say it." β
"Didn't Uncle Lu tell you?" Nangong Jue had some doubts in his heart.
"No, he never told me that." Lu Mengyao replied, Lu Jiang counted revenge as his own responsibility, and he didn't want Lu Mengyao to be involved, in the final analysis, Lu Jiang can be said to be a good father.
Nangong Jue let out an "oh" and didn't speak again, and Lu Mengyao didn't say anything more, anyway, Nangong Jue didn't intend to tell her sΓΉ, and it was in vain to ask if she asked.
"Zhang Youhan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, as long as you can kill him, I will naturally tell you everything I have investigated about you, of course, if you recover your memory before this, you can refuse me, but I only have one request, it can be regarded as you repaying me for saving my life."
"What's the matter?"
"Treat Meng Yao well."
