Lu Yuanmei fell into a memory, his eyes became a little blurred, Sun Xian drank tea quietly, Lu Yuanmei suddenly shot his knife-like gaze at him, Sun Xianmei also looked at her lightly, and then she asked softly what she said just now: "What's the matter?" ”

"About that young pianist Guiyue," Lu Yuanmei said slowly, "He killed Lord Shang Shucen of the Ministry of Rites, but later the emperor helped him cheat to death and let other prisoners go to the execution instead of him, and he was simply exiled by the assassination, regardless of whether Guiyue should be stabbed to death or not, but as a historian, shouldn't he write his own book without hiding his flaws?" My father has always adhered to this way, but the emperor ...... my father for his own selfish desires."

Sun Xian raised his eyebrows and asked, "Because of this?" ”

Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment, "In your opinion, this is just a trivial matter, right?" ”

Sun Xian shook his head, "No, but you don't have to do such a thing for this, did the second prince promise you that if you help him spy on me, when he becomes the emperor, he will let your father return to the Hanlin Academy to compile history books?" ”

Lu Yuan frowned and looked at him without answering, but Sun Xian Lin could already tell from her expression that he was right, he sighed and said, "How old a girl are you, does your father agree with you doing this?" What's the deal with that red mole on your forehead? ”

"That's not the case," Lu Yuanmei suddenly covered his face, as if he was suppressing great pain, Sun Xian looked at her, and said in his heart Although Lu Shichang's demotion may indeed affect her, there is no need to take risks to follow him at night, what else is she difficult to hide?

However, Lu Yuanmei didn't plan to continue, Sun Xian knew that she had good light skills, probably the level when Cijing had not yet fused with Linglong Bone, and it was also considered a medium level in the rivers and lakes, so she could barely keep up with his footsteps.

Sun Xian Lin called the shopkeeper to settle the account, and was about to leave, Lu Yuanmei suddenly stopped him, Sun Xian Lin turned his head and said, "You go back, I will no longer pursue the matter of you following me." ”

"I said this is a dead city where you can't get out once you come in, it's not to intimidate you, it's true." Lu Yuanmei stood at the table, this sentence made everyone in the store raise their heads and look at her, a few of them were also from other places, but when they heard her words, they didn't take it seriously, but laughed.

Sun Xian was also skeptical, and said: "No matter what, I'm here to find someone, and I won't leave if I don't find someone." ”

"The person you're looking for may have died here." Lu Yuan's eyebrows suddenly hooked the corners of his mouth, revealing a strange smile, Sun Xian Lin ignored her and walked straight out.

He took out the portrait of Cijing and asked the people on the street, but those people shook their heads and said they hadn't seen it, Sun Xian Lin thought that Cijing would always go to the guest house last night, so it was better to go to the inn and ask, he found an inn, but this inn looked very dilapidated, as soon as he stepped in, there was a burst of bloody gas, he covered his mouth and nose, retreated, and asked a passing pedestrian: "What happened to this inn?" ”

The man glanced at him, saw that he was dressed well, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and said: "There was a disturbance here yesterday, and a lot of people died, this business must not be able to continue, the shopkeeper didn't even bother to pack up the roll and cover to run, but he was caught in the official mansion, it is estimated that alas, it is difficult to come out——"

Sun Xian's heart jumped and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

"Where did Childe come from?"

"The capital." Sun Xian Lin did not hide it.

The man shook his head and said, "You don't know that we have an old man-eating monster here, because the people who know and want to get the news out are already dead." ”

Sun Xian frowned, is this really a dead city that can only enter but not exit as Lu Yuanmei said?

"In short, you should be ready to take root here, and don't try to challenge the old monster, otherwise you will be eaten and there will be no scum left."

The man shook his head and left, although Sun Xian was not so easily frightened, he was still startled by a layer of cold sweat, he turned his head, looked at the portrait in his hand, and continued to walk forward.

Walking to the next inn, it happened to be where Cijing and Guiyue stayed last night, but the two had already left, only to see Xiao Er leaning lazily against the door, and there was no one in the store, Sun Xian walked over, sent the portrait to him, and asked, "May I ask if the second brother has seen this girl?" ”

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up when he saw the portrait, and he said, "Yes, she lived here last night, and she was with a young man, but she was disguised when they first came, and she didn't change her appearance when they left this morning." ”

It turned out that they had changed their faces yesterday, no wonder they had just asked passers-by that they had never seen them.

"And where have they gone now?"

"They said they were going out of town, but I thought it was hanging." Xiao Er pouted and shook his head, and Sun Xian asked "How long have they been gone?" ”

"Soon, less than an hour."

As soon as Xiao Er's words fell, Sun Xian Lin hurriedly thanked him and turned around and left, the shopkeeper looked at his back as he left quickly, and sighed heavily, why have so many people rushed to die recently, alas.

Sun Xian Lin walked all the way along the street, and continued to inquire, but all the way to the county office, there was a drum at the door of the county office, Sun Xian Lin stood at the door for a while, and was about to go in, two long knives immediately appeared in front of him, Sun Xian Lin said: "I want to see your county master." ”

The two yacha looked at each other and asked, "Who are you?" ”

"I'm coming for my fiancée."

"Something to drum on."

Sun Xian Lin walked to the drum, picked up two drumsticks, and struck the drum twice with internal force, the two officials were almost unbearable, Sun Xian Lin stopped, and asked: "After beating the drum, what about the county order?" ”

The yacha also understood that this person was not good, one of them slipped away quickly, and the other was about to run, and was dragged by Sun Xian Lin by the back collar, Sun Xian Lin asked coldly: "I heard the people say that there is an old monster in your county government, and no one who has come to Shanghua County has ever left, is it true?" ”

"Yes, yes, ah no!" The silver needle in Sun Xian's hand came out of the throat of the yacha, and the yacha did not dare to move, and said: "We are just doing things according to the orders of the county master!" We are innocent! Childe spares his life! Spare your life! ”

Yacha screamed, but he didn't care about it in his heart, he had been here to beg a lot of people in the past two months, but in the end he was disposed of by the old monster, and the person in front of him couldn't be a corpse tomorrow, maybe there was no corpse.

After a while, another official crawled over and said, "Gong, Gongzi, my lord is invited!" ”

Sun Xian Lin let go of his hand, the two Yacha glanced at each other, and the Yacha who had just been restrained by Sun Xian Xiao smiled understandingly, Sun Xian Lin followed them to the backyard, this huge county ya, but there are only these two yacha, this alone is already very weird, and this county ya, there is indeed a very strong, uncomfortable smell.

Sun Xian touched his nose, and Yacha said, "Childe, please." ”

It was a very ordinary door, Sun Xian Lin glanced back at them, the two looked at him tremblingly, Sun Xian squinted, flicked his sleeves and shook off the door, the two door panels fell to the ground with a bang, and the two yacha hearts jumped, and they turned around and ran away in unison.

Sun Xian walked into the door, the area in the room was not small, but it was very dark, and the smell was extremely unpleasant, like the rancid smell of a corpse, but mixed with this extremely strange fragrance, the combination of the two smells was simply torture for the nose, Sun Xian was a little nauseated no matter how good his concentration was, he turned around, the two doors that he had broken just now were actually closed again, and the room suddenly fell into a darkness, and the smell became stronger and stronger.

Suddenly there was a sound of laughter above his head, Sun Xian Xiao did not look up, the source of the sound was not overhead, it seemed that some special device was used to transfer the sound, he settled down, and clenched the sword on his side.

However, the laughter spread from the top of his head to the left, and then from the left side to the back, and he circled back and forth, left and right, but there was no one in sight.

Sun Xian stood still, suddenly there was a slight fluctuation in the air, he drew his sword out of the sheath, the silver sword body slashed, and a white line was drawn in the dim room, he felt a huge force, the simple sword is a good sword, if it is a random scrap copper and rotten iron, I am afraid that it will be broken by the force just now.

Sun Xian felt a storm in his heart, this person hiding in the shadows was trying his skills, and the moment he took it just now made him feel that he might not be able to beat this person.

Lu Yuanmei said that the old demon of Tianshan is here, so the old monster that people say is undoubtedly the old demon of Tianshan.

Although his martial arts have improved greatly in the past few years, he is still not sure about the old demon of the Heavenly Mountain.

The sword in Sun Xian's hand tightened again, and there was an extremely ugly voice in the air that seemed to be a man, not a man, a woman, and a woman: "Hehehehe, what a tender flesh." ”

The sound was like a cold snake slowly sliding into Sun Xian Lone's collar, arousing goosebumps on his back, Sun San Lone did not speak, trying to stabilize his breathing, he couldn't tell where the person was based on the sound, so he could only -

He suddenly retreated to the door, and a sword slashed the door, and a strong white light shone into the room, but it was only the one at the door, and in this room, there seemed to be only a small space at the door, but when he entered just now, this room was obviously not small.

Sun Xian looked around, there was nothing in this room, not even a place for Tibetans, he raised his head, slammed into a pair of eyes, and was shocked, but before he could react, the eyes had disappeared.

Sun Xian's heart almost jumped out of his chest, this feeling of uncertain future, shrouded by the shadow of death, has not been over for a long time, a layer of cold sweat rose in his hand, the hand holding the hilt of the sword was loose and tight, staring at the room, a gust of wind suddenly blew behind him, the courtyard door slammed shut, he turned around, and saw a woman in white standing in front of him, with black hair up to her ankles, without any decoration, standing there barefoot.

Sun Xian Lin didn't dare to relax, but as soon as the woman spoke, Sun Xian Lin was as if someone had poured a bucket of ice water on her head in the middle of winter, and it was cold from her head to every toe.

That voice was the voice he had just heard in the room, which seemed to be a man, not a man, but a woman!
