Chapter 47: Departure for Jiazhou
After Lu Jian returned to the Lu Mansion, he went back to his house to pack his things.
The location of the task that Shen Ci gave her was in Jiazhou, some distance from Jingzhou, and it was about a day and a night round trip.
She went this time to help Shen Ci get an antique treasure.
Originally, Shen Ci and the original owner of the antique had already discussed paying the money with one hand and delivering the goods with the other, and Shen Ci's subordinates also took the silver to get the treasure.
But since that subordinate went to the owner of the antiques in Jiazhou, there has been no news, and then he sent several people to inquire about the situation, but there was no news, as if the world had evaporated.
Then he learned that everyone in the village where the owner of the antique was located had died overnight! Miserable death!
It's very bizarre and weird.
The local government was so frightened that the entire village was sealed.
A woodcutter said that when he was passing through the village, he heard a very strange cry coming from inside, and a black shadow dangling from inside, and he was so frightened that his soul was almost gone, and finally he had a serious illness and could not get out of bed for ten days.
As for Shen Ci's subordinates, their whereabouts are still unknown, and Lu Jian feels that nine times out of ten they are killed.
Shen Ci thought that this matter must not be man-made, and that antique was very important to him, and he had to get it back, so he found Lu Jian to help.
Lu Jian also felt that this matter was definitely not simple, and if he could kill the entire village overnight, his cultivation must not be low.
Of course, she is not sure that it must be an evil cult at the moment, but according to the information provided by Shen Ci, it is not far from ten.
To be on the safe side, she brought a lot of things this time, as well as a lot of all kinds of charms that could be used.
There's no way, she can't compare to the modern times, there are all kinds of magic weapons that can be carried around and are very powerful.
Although the heavenly urn is powerful, she can't use it at will, and if it is spread out, then she will not have a good time in the future.
The so-called husband is not guilty, she is guilty, she is famous in modern times, her family is powerful, naturally no one dares to hit her attention.
After packing up, Lu Jian went out with her stuffed cloth bag on her side.
Before leaving, she asked Mingzhi to wait for Lu Heng to tell him that she had gone far away and would come back in a few days, so that Father Lu didn't have to worry.
Shen Ci's carriage stopped not far from Lu Mansion and waited for her, there were two coachmen sitting outside the carriage, Lu Jian took a look, the coachman was sturdy and looked like a Lian family.
After Lu Jian got into the carriage, he saw Shen Ci sitting in it, the inside of the carriage was very spacious, like a small RV, very luxurious.
Lu Jian couldn't help but be a little curious, what kind of treasure was that antique, so that Boss Shen could pick it up in person.
The carriage began to move in the direction of Jiazhou, and it took a long time before leaving Jingzhou.
On the way, Shen Ci said two sentences to Lu Jian from time to time, and Lu Jian also replied simply.
When I arrived in Jizhou, it was already the middle of the afternoon, and the sky was just a little dark.
Because it was more dangerous to travel in the dark, it was easy to run into mountain bandits, so they found an inn in Zhuzhou to pay attention.
The coachman parked the carriage in front of an inn called Yunfu.
The four of them got out of the car and walked in
Shen Ci walked in the front, walking elegantly with long legs, and a pair of good-looking peach blossom eyes often smiled, attracting the attention of many people around him.
After the four of them entered the inn, the shopkeeper saw that the guests led by the shopkeeper were gorgeously dressed and the accessories on their bodies were expensive, so they hurriedly greeted them.
"This guest, are you ....." The shopkeeper suddenly paused before he finished speaking, and a look of surprise appeared on his face: "Boss! How did you get here?"
"What, you're not welcome?" Shen Ci asked with a smile.
"How is it possible, the little one is afraid that he will not be well prepared and neglect you," the shopkeeper said very respectfully.
Unexpectedly, this Yunfu Inn was actually opened by Shen Ci, his industry must be more than these, proper diamond king Lao Wu, Lu Jian said secretly in his heart.
"Prepare four rooms, meals, you watch and prepare"
"Yes"
After receiving the order, the shopkeeper immediately sent someone to prepare.
Several people followed the shopkeeper to a private room, and after Shen Ci and Lu Jian walked in, the two coachmen stayed outside.
In less than a moment, the shopkeeper walked in with delicious dishes.
Lu Jian wasn't very hungry originally, but he was also a little hungry after smelling the fragrance.
"Miss Lu's hometown is in Zhuzhou," Shen Ci said.
"Hmm" Lu Jian snorted as she ate, she didn't feel strange at all that Shen Ci knew that her hometown was in Zhuzhou, it was easy to find out.
Shen Ci saw that Lu Jian was eating, so he didn't talk.
After eating, they went back to their guest rooms to rest, and the next day before dawn, several people began to hurry, and finally arrived near the village of Jiazhou at noon the next day.
When they arrived at the entrance of the village, Lu Jian and Shen Ci got out of the carriage, and the two coachmen did not follow them, but parked the carriage not far away and guarded it.
These two coachmen are ordinary people, if there is really evil inside, and they also follow, then if there is danger at that time, Lu Jian will have to be distracted to protect them, so simply let the two of them wait outside.
The danger inside was unknown now after all, but Lu Jian didn't see the slightest nervous look on Shen Ci's face.
Completely trusting her to solve it, it is absolutely impossible, since Shen Ci dares to come, it means that he must be prepared.
The two walked into the village, and there was a stone tablet on the side of the road at the entrance of the village, on which was engraved Huangyang Village.
is the name of the village.
