Chapter 51: The Uninvited Guest (I)
Regarding Mo Chen's answer, Mo Qinglan didn't notice anything wrong with him. Although Shadowless Valley has the information of all the people in the world, it is inevitable that there will be omissions. For example, Mo Chen didn't know the murderer of her predecessor, and for Qin Qian, who didn't know whether it was herself or the body of someone else like her, looking for it in the vast sea of people was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
It's just that I didn't touch any of his nerves, and the performance was too strange......
Since Qin Qian has no clues at all, and the Qin Qian on Snake Island also has no information, and he is wanted everywhere, the important thing at the moment is to leave Yeyang Country first. Now the closest to them is Li Shengguo, as long as they go out of the border.
But what made Mo Qinglan's heart a little disappointed was that Mo Qinglan didn't hear the sour taste in Mo Chen's mouth at all. Coupled with the silence of Mo Chen, the journey is even more boring and dull.
This stalemate was finally broken two days later by the guards who were defending the city.
"It's not good to let a woman show up in public." Ink Dust smiled at the guards who stretched out their hands to stop them from entering the city.
Mo Qinglan stood next to Mo Chen and didn't say a word, through the veil she saw that the guard was holding a wanted warrant in his hand, and the portrait of the head on it was not who else could she be!
"My emperor has an order, from now on, all women entering the city must be checked regardless of their identity. Hurry up and take that gauze hat off. The guard urged impatiently.
"It's not that I don't let this eldest brother check, it's just that my lady is seriously ill and can't see the light and wind, let alone look at others, otherwise that person will have the same strange disease as my mother. Not long ago, the old man in the family could not bear this torture and left. Mo Chen sighed and said, as he spoke, he stretched out his hand to Mo Qinglan's waist and secretly pinched it vigorously, Mo Qinglan was in pain for a while and wanted to avoid Mo Chen's hand, and the whole person couldn't help leaning towards Mo Chen.
"This ...... What kind of strange disease is this? It's unheard of. Guard Armor asked, looking at the sickly appearance of the woman under the veil hat who couldn't even stand steadily, and his face was filled with hesitation.
Mo Qinglan was speechless, although she knew that Mo Chen lied in order not to let the guards see her true face, even if she called her lady, she put her hand on her waist, and she endured it. Pinch her! What a fuss!
"The hairy foot doctor in the village couldn't diagnose it, and I came to the city to treat my mother's illness. Please also make it convenient, thank you for it. Mo Chen said, secretly stuffing a money bag into the guard armor as he spoke.
The heavy feeling from his hand made the last trace of hesitation in Guard Armor's heart disappear, he waved the wanted notice in his hand, and hummed:
"Take care of your lady, don't infect others. Hurry up and get into town. ”
"Thank you, thank you." Mo Chen thanked him, breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, looked at Mo Qinglan who was shadowy under the wind gauze hat, and felt that the stiff body in his arms was gradually relaxing, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:
"Lady, don't be afraid, when you enter the city to find the best doctor for your husband, you will definitely be cured."
As soon as the words came out, the body in his arms stiffened again.
Mo Qinglan's face under the wind gauze hat was dark, and Rao is she could feel that Mo Chen was manipulating her after realizing it!
After the two of them entered the city without danger, Mo Qinglan didn't want to say more than half a word, but Mo Chen, who was in an inexplicable mood, began to talk more again.
As night fell, because of the presence of a major wanted criminal, the defense here was tighter, and everyone turned off the lights early to rest.
Just after the city gate was locked, the sound of horses' hooves was heard in the distance, and the huge black cloak covered the horsemen tightly. He stopped his horse and raised a token in his mighty hand, and the lights on the wall lit up the words on the token in a dark and cold light.
"This inn looks inconspicuous but it's quite clean, Qinglan, you have a good eye."
"Tonight's meal doesn't seem to be to your taste, I haven't eaten much when I see you, are you hungry?"
"When you get out of the customs tomorrow, it will be within the scope of Li Shengguo, what are you going to do next?"
"During the day, I pretended that you were sick, but this is just a stopgap measure, if you don't pretend to be like us, we will be exposed."
"Qinglan, when are you going to talk to me......"
"Qinglan, Qinglan, Qinglan, ......"
Mo Qinglan felt that she was going crazy, and after two or three days in a row, she felt a little sleepy. I wanted to sleep after eating and recovering my strength, but I didn't expect the sound of ink dust in my ears.
"Shut up." Mo Qinglan said coldly, his eyes slightly wide to show impatience.
Mo Chen obediently closed his mouth, but the smile on his face was as well-behaved as he was.
Mo Qinglan glanced at it, and felt that his breath just now was too heavy, and he couldn't help but ease his face, although that relief was no different from his gloomy face before.
"I'll go to the Netherworld Forest after I get out. It's been three years, but she had an accident there, and I wanted to go and see if I could find any clues, or maybe I could remember something when I revisited the old place. And it's a safe place for me now. ”
Mo Qinglan said.
In fact, Mo Qinglan has other plans besides this, but now that she is in a predicament, even she can't be sure whether her ideas are feasible.
If she didn't have a plan that she was completely sure of, she wouldn't tell Mochen.
The long journey will inevitably experience a lot of life and death dangers, and she thinks more about whether to go alone on the way to the border pass, or let Mochen continue to follow her in danger.
"You don't know anything, where do you start?" Mochen had clearly taken an interest in the topic.
"I forgot to tell you that I had some fragmentary memories of her when I was in Baipo Town." Mo Qinglan pointed to her head, she didn't say Mo Qinglan, because shouting her name and talking about a dead person made her a little awkward.
"What is it?" Mo Chen's pupils suddenly constricted, and the smile on his face faded a little.
Mo Qinglan looked at the candlelight on the table and didn't notice the obvious change in ink dust.
"When she died, I saw a hand, very white and long, very much like a woman's hand, with a ruby ring on her middle finger." Mo Qinglan paused, and then said:
"The fact that a person with such a pair of beautiful hands is wearing such expensive ornaments shows that the murderer's family is rich and cannot be robbed, and it can be ruled out that she was robbed and killed by robbers. And she came out with Mingyuezhu, I always felt that her death was related to Mingyuezhu. By the way, she had read a letter before leaving the palace, and the person she wanted to see was the person on the letter. It's just that I can't see what is written in the letter. ”
"What else do you see?" Mo Chen hurriedly asked, his eyes looking at Mo Qinglan tightly.
"I saw her and Chu ......" Mo Qinglan had just opened her mouth, when suddenly the candlelight suddenly dimmed, her eyebrows sank, she grabbed Mo Chen's shoulders and quickly retreated to the wall, her eyes looked coldly at the open window.
