Chapter 103: The Truth of Ghost Valley
If Ghost Valley is mysterious enough, then Gu Rulan's place is like a hidden corner of Ghost Valley.
Luo Huai's terrain just now, looking up at the depth of the ravine, there is no way to go up except for the cave in the high place just now.
And here is like the back of the Ghost Valley, there is not only a stream, but even some flowers are planted.
That's the orchid.
Luo Huai stepped forward at this time, Gu Rulan thought that Luo Huai was going to pick flowers, so she wanted to reprimand him, but Luo Huai just looked at the orchid and nodded.
"This is Jianlan, the flower has a fragrance, and the flower should not bloom in another month."
"I didn't expect you to know orchids." This made Gu Rulan unexpected. It is true that it is Jianlan that is blooming now, and the other batch of Chunlan has already been thanked.
"Hey, I don't have any hobbies, I just know a lot." Speaking of which, some knowledge was not deliberately done by Luo Huai, but he just happened to see it when he was flipping through ancient books or books.
However, seeing that there are orchids planted here, combined with the name of Gu Rulan, Luo Huai can't help but nod. Indeed, this Nizi is like an orchid in the valley, and it is the most beautiful scenery.
"Are you the only one living here?" Luo Huai asked.
"It used to be with my father and mother." Gu Rulan replied, and went to open the door of the cabin.
Naturally, the door is not locked, and if you want to come to this "paradise" general place, the people in the valley still don't know, and how can there be other outsiders.
Luo Huai also immediately followed up, wanting to see the environment where Gu Rulan lived. Of course, it's purely out of curiosity.
There was nothing to put in this place, but it was more like a place where a reclusive master lived. And Luo Huai's eyes were locked on the shelf over there all of a sudden.
In addition to some books that were obviously sealed by the year, there were even bamboo slips and cloth.
This bamboo slip and cloth on it should really be called an ancient book, you must know that when there is paper, it is already the time of Da Chu, and before that, bamboo slips and cloth were used to record words.
"Can I take a look at those?" Luo Huai rubbed his hands at this time, pointed to the books and looked at Gu Rulan with some expectation.
And Gu Rulan saw Luo Huai's eyes so enthusiastic for the first time. It's not the same as the Luo Huai she saw......
You must know that the Luo Huai she has seen in the past few days is a little mouthful and a little funny, but she does have a set of ways to deal with problems. On top of that, this guy is somewhat......
However, no matter which side of Luo Huai is, there is no such serious and enthusiastic side.
"You can watch it if you like."
When Luo Huai heard this, he immediately found a small rattan chair, and seemed to be ready to look carefully. Even Luo Huai was quite cautious when he took the book.
Gu Rulan was naturally curious, and at the same time had an indescribable feeling in her heart: this guy read this book, but he left her aside.
This kind of mood, Gu Rulan felt strange. In the end, she could only attribute it to that she was going to ignore Luo Huai first, but he took the lead.
Well, it must be like that.
The back room is exactly where Gu Rulan stays. At this time, Gu Rulan entered the house, but she wanted to change into the clothes of an ugly woman.
However, he suddenly remembered that Luo Huai was still outside, and subconsciously was a little cautious.
At this time, looking at herself in the bronze mirror and becoming an ugly woman again, Gu Rulan came out again, but she saw that Luo Huai was turning the book very quickly, and in her opinion, he was looking at it very casually.
Gu Rulan coughed lightly at this time, and seeing that Luo Huai didn't react, she stretched out her hand and shook it in front of his eyes. Only then did Luo Huai react.
And seeing that Gu Rulan had become an ugly woman again, Luo Huai couldn't help frowning.
"I said Rulan, there is no one else here, why do you need to become this ugly woman?" Luo Huai has only been around for a while, and he misses Gu Rulan a little bit just now.
"Wait for you to show up like an ugly woman, it's better to prepare in advance." Gu Rulan pointed to the book in Luo Huai's hand at this time. "Why, I saw you just put the two books back after reading them for a while, is this book not good?"
Gu Rulan subconsciously felt that Luo Huai was pretending to be in front of her.
However, Luo Huai replied with a smile: "Of course I put it back after reading it, it is indeed a good book." ”
Gu Rulan frowned at this time, this kid didn't pretend to be like some ......
"I just changed my clothes, and you finished reading two books with the ugly woman's makeup?"
Luo Huai was stunned when he heard this, and dared to doubt his own efficiency as a future daughter-in-law.
Luo Huai laughed and handed back the two books he had just put back to Gu Rulan.
"Just ask. Your husband and I answered each other like a stream. ”
This guy took advantage of me again...... Gu Rulan muttered in her heart, but she didn't believe it, she directly opened one of the books and asked.
"What is this "Returning to the East"?"
"The book you are holding in your hand is a monk's travelogue to the Western Tianzhu Kingdom, which is quite interesting. This article was written when he was about to leave his homeland at that time. This monk has some talent. ”
Luo Huai explained what this was about at this time, and then memorized the article word for word.
Gu Rulan was a little incredulous when she heard it, she thought that Luo Huai had read this book before. picked up another book to test him, but Luo Huai still answered the questions fluently, and at the same time, he also analyzed Gu Rulan. It's just that Gu Rulan has never seen it, and after listening to Luo Huai's explanation, she understands it.
In other words, this guy not only read these two books in a short time, but really read them through.
In fact, this "game" Fang Ji also tested Luo Huai, wanting to see if he was really so smart. Afterwards, Fang Ji could only conclude: "The physique of people really cannot be generalized......"
At this time, Gu Rulan didn't expect Luo Huai to be so powerful, originally she found out the information, this Luo Huai is indeed a famous ghost in Los Angeles, but she didn't expect this memory to be so good.
"My memory is good, but there are many bad things." Luo Huai couldn't help but shake his head.
That's right, his memory can't be described simply as a double-edged sword. It stands to reason that most people are more likely to forget some disgusting things or some unhappy things. But Luo Huai remembers them all.
To put it mildly, Luo Huai can remember the shape he pulls out every time he gets on the tuba...... Thinking of this, Luo Huai only felt that his stomach was churning a little, but he also had a skill, that is, he would divert his attention. At this time, as long as you think of the recent happy events, you can ignore these disgusting things for a while.
And the recent happy thing is naturally yesterday with Gu Rulan......
When Luo Huai thought of this, he looked at Gu Rulan, who has now become an ugly woman: "So, no matter how long it takes, I shouldn't forget you, and what happened yesterday......"
"You still mention ......" Gu Rulan was a little angry when she heard this yesterday, she didn't think about it anymore, but this Luo Huai mentioned that shameful thing again.
"I can't forget it if I don't mention it. So I'm serious. Luo Huai raised his right hand at this time, as if he was going to swear.
"I only said that I would give you a chance, but I didn't say that I agreed......" Gu Rulan is naturally quite calm in this matter. And. You only caught the sick woman, I heard you say that there are two fine works. ”
"There is one more that should be among the four masters." Luo Huai replied.
"Four masters? Four eminent monks?! Gu Rulan was naturally stunned when she heard this, she obviously didn't expect that the matter would be related to the four "eating, drinking, and gambling".
"But these four have been in the Ghost Valley for more than ten years...... Although I have also taken a boat down the valley a few times, the possibility of fine work should be very low. ”
Luo Huai wanted to laugh when he heard it. What he said just now can be regarded as a favor for the master of "quitting gambling". The gambling master was quite happy to talk to him, and Luo Huai was reluctant.
That's right, in fact, this fine work is not one of the four masters, but four masters.
What Luo Huai just said to the gambling cessation master actually gave him a choice.
This "eating, drinking, and gambling with women", it seems that the master of quitting gambling is ranked last, and he is even responsible for entertainment, which is simply the smallest one. But Luo Huai noticed that the other three masters were sometimes looking at the faces of the gambling masters.
In other words, this gambling master is the head of the three of them, and as for the three of them not speaking, it may be because they are afraid of saying too many mistakes.
And Luo Huai's meaning is also very clear, let the gambling master hand over a dead person, that is, when the messenger is made,
Luo Huai seems to be helping the master of gambling, but in fact, it is also for himself. After all, he Luo has learned some of Brother Fang's temperament, that is, he does not make a loss-making transaction.
Luo Huai knew that these four people must be the emperor's people. And these four people have been in the valley for so long, they have little time to go down the valley, and their understanding of Luo Huai may be very one-sided, and it is impossible to know Luo Huai's real motives.
And what is Luo Huai's identity. His father is Luo Hai in the royalists, and these four people are the emperor's people, so it is impossible not to know.
So Luo Huai is now disguising himself like this, he can pretend to be "his own person" and find out information from this gambling master.
However, this gambling master is going to hand over one of the three "Eat and Drink Female Tickets", and Luo Huai feels that his "friendship" with these three monks is quite short-lived.
At least these thirty monks, Luo Huai, felt that they could not be allowed to live to bring the news to the emperor......
Thinking of this, Luo Huai showed a smile: "One of these four masters should have been rebelled, and the other three masters may not know it." In fact, the suspicion of the four masters is not unfounded. Although this sick woman knows how to use poison, it is clear that she is not the one who will help you get the supplies from the valley. And as far as I know, there are only four masters who can contact materials for a long time. After all, most of the others took turns, and the errands of the four masters were done almost every day. ”
Gu Rulan couldn't deny it when she heard this, it is true that almost every day the four masters are the ones who take the supplies, and if they secretly take the medicine, it is also the most likely among the four masters.
At this time, Luo Huai flipped up a bamboo slip, looked at it, and replied lightly: "You might as well hand over these two fine works to me, I think you should still have things to deal with." ”
Seeing Luo Huai's attention on this bamboo slip, she said what she thought in her heart, but it made Gu Rulan feel a little strange.
"How do you know?"
"I think you should be the last descendant of the people of this Ghost Valley, and this Hades seems to me to be more like a person sent from outside to take care of it." Luo Huai continued to answer. "I already have a general idea of how Ghost Valley works. This ghost valley is not really isolated from the world, but most of the descendants of the first group of valley people have already descended the mountain. In other words, this Ghost Valley is where they operate, and they divide the Ghost Valley with those who remain in the valley. And Hades must have been sent by those people outside the Valley of Ghosts, I'm right. ”
Gu Rulan was not surprised when she heard it, it was fake, she really didn't expect Luo Huai to even know this.
"So where did the people from this Ghost Valley actually come from, combined with the situation of this Great Wei. The only thing I can think of is Gangnam. In other words, the descendants of this ghost valley are not simple, and now it is estimated that they are the four major families in Jiangnan. ”
Luo Huai's guess is quite bold, of course, it is a guess. Luo Huai is also somewhat grounded. Combined with the time when the four great families were in power, these four great families are not the kind of inheritance for a long time, but more like they suddenly came out after a period of time.
And the time when the four great families backstabbed Wu Yueguo was also quite delicate, during that time, Luo Huai thought about it carefully, the situation that the four great families could control the Great Wei was also quite strange, in other words, the four great families were almost backstabbed during the time when the Great Wei was preparing to enter Wu Yueguo in a big way.
This is a secret in Great Wei, but these four families are like foreseeing in advance. In other words, they should have someone in Great Wei. And the backstabbing of the four major families to the surrender of the Wu Yue royal family to Wei Ting naturally helped them preserve their vitality.
If there was a real fight at that time, these four great families would naturally be implicated, and the backstabbing of Wu Yueguo would completely minimize their losses. So much so that today's four great families in the south of the Yangtze River are already the existence that the Great Wei court is afraid of.
In fact, because of the civil strife in the Great Wei Dynasty, these four great families were able to develop and grow in the past ten years.
After all, when Emperor Wen was the first emperor, these four great families were actually thorns in their feet at most, and the fiefdom of the three princes was in Jiangnan at that time. At that time, the four great families obviously had no chance to raise their heads.
And the chaos of Dawei, a March turmoil, is directly one of the two and the other, which is embarrassing.
So to sum up, Luo Huai boldly assumed that the four great families in the south of the Yangtze River were the descendants of this ghost valley. As for Gu Rulan, it is the force that stays behind.
Then in fact, the collusion of the three princes seems to be Ghost Valley, but it is actually likely to be the four great families. This information, Luo Huai knew that it was useless, so he was very anxious. After all, this news has to be known to Brother Fang.
However, Luo Huai believed in Brother Fang's ability, and he believed that even if he didn't have a relationship directly through Ghost Valley, this Brother Fang could do well.
And it's better......
Luo Huai looked at Gu Rulan with a complicated face at this time, but sighed lightly: "I think the four great families don't want to divide the Gu family with you now, right?" There's no reason why you, as the valley owner, can't feel it. ”
Luo Huai knows this method too well, and these four great families are nothing more than repeating the old trick: overhead.
This wants to use the means of overthrowing the Wuyue royal family to elevate Gu Rulan, so the current situation of Gu Rulan is not optimistic.
"So here, you have to answer me a question." Luo Huai looked at Gu Rulan's good-looking and smart eyes at this time: "Who are you Gu Yu?" ”
