Chapter Seventy-Two: A Hidden Mystery
Chen Guang tidied up his clothes and took out a silk scarf to wipe the sweat from his forehead to make himself look less embarrassed. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info then shouted, "Fat man." ”
The fat man was walking on the road with his own people without recruiting anyone and not provoking anyone, and he stopped suddenly, and when he saw that it was Chen Guang, the fat man hurriedly trotted over, nodded his head, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin." ”
Since the last time Fu Xiang Ji opened, the boat capsized in the gutter, and the fat man acted more carefully, once he couldn't be 100% sure that he could move, he simply didn't want to. Although there is a lot less oil and water in this way, it is also a lot less troublesome.
Moreover, he has been worried about His Royal Highness the King of Jin's "Autumn Reckoning", but after waiting for a long time, there is no news, so he put this matter behind him, and now when he sees Chen Guang, he suddenly feels a chrysanthemum tight.
Chen Guang didn't know what the fat man was thinking, his mind was full of Zhou Zhiruo now.
"Do you know Zhou Zhiruo, the daughter of the Ministry of Rites?" Chen Guang actually didn't know how to ask, he originally wanted to be a foreshadowing, but before he could speak, even he couldn't wait, so he simply got straight to the point.
Generally speaking, this kind of aristocratic girl rarely shows up, and it is difficult for people who are not on the same level to get to know each other, but I don't know if this fat man usually mixes up, or if Zhou Zhiruo likes to go outside to play if he has nothing to do, I didn't expect Chen Guang to mention this, the fat man really knows Zhou Zhiruo, which makes Chen Guang ecstatic.
"I know, oh yes, I remembered, wasn't she accepted by His Royal Highness King Jin." The fat man smiled and said, after such a long time, Zhou Zhiruo's matter of throwing hydrangeas has long been known in the capital, and it is naturally impossible for the fat man not to know this news.
Chen Guang didn't have the heart to tell him this, and said, "Didn't I have a little conflict with her this morning, so she ran out, and I didn't find it after looking around." Have you seen her? ”
After all, the fat man takes people around all day long, and the probability of him meeting Zhou Zhiruo is very high.
Originally, I just asked with hope, but I didn't expect the fat man to be really face-saving.
"Huh? His Royal Highness the King of Jin is making a contradiction, I said why is Miss Zhou walking on the street early in the morning. ”
"Where did she go?" Chen Guang's eyes widened and he asked in a hurried tone.
The fat man didn't expect Chen Guang to have such a big reaction, but think about it, who is not in a hurry when his daughter-in-law is gone? Besides, such a beautiful daughter-in-law, I don't know how many people have ideas, how to do it if they don't protect it well.
After thinking about it for a while, the fat man seemed to remember, and said: "There was no one on the street at that time, and I just came out, and I saw Miss Zhou walking through this intersection, and then it seemed that a carriage was coming, and she got in the car, and then she ......."
"Where did you go?" Chen Guang interrupted him and asked.
"It seems to be a brown shed carriage on the south side of the city, jujube red horses." The fat man said.
After he finished speaking, he looked up and found that Chen Guang had disappeared, and he asked in surprise, "What about His Royal Highness King Jin?" ”
The little brother next to him all looked confused. To be honest, I feel that in the blink of an eye, His Royal Highness King Jin will have no shadow, okay?
"Forget it, let's go, go west." The fat man didn't think much about it, and continued to do his own business conscientiously.
Besides, Chen Guang, when I heard that Zhou Zhiruo was picked up by the carriage, I suddenly felt a little bad, whose carriage? Where to go?
It's like going out and seeing your goddess being picked up by a luxury car.
In order to save time, Chen Guang directly turned on Ling Bo's microstep and disappeared in front of the fat man. Although the use of Ling Bo Weibu consumes a lot of physical strength, but now Chen Guang can't care about it so much at all, he just wants to find Zhou Zhiruo as soon as possible.
From this intersection to the south of the city, there is a row of courtyards on both sides, and unlike the city of Liren in the southwest, it is a residential area, and it is full of various courtyards, connected by alleys.
Chen Guang walked all the way there, and when he met people, he asked if he had seen a brown carriage pulled by jujube red, and after asking a few people, he also got some news. He came to a slightly remote place.
Why is it so remote? Legend has it that there was a temple here in the previous dynasty, and when the Great Qian Dynasty was established, the monks in this temple went on a hunger strike to resist the Qian Dynasty, and then starved to death. The war also destroyed the temple, which is full of ruins and ruins, and I haven't seen anyone make a fuss about it for more than two years. That's why it's overgrown with grass and a variety of unknown trees, making it feel very desolate. This is very peculiar, there is such a forest in the capital.
Although it's a pity, because so many people died, they were still monks, and no one wanted to touch this bad luck.
How could Zhou Zhiruo come to such a place? Who brought her here? An ominous premonition suddenly flashed in Chen Guang's heart.
I hope that the person who pointed the way said was wrong, and Zhou Zhiruo would definitely not come to such a place.
However, while he was babbling to himself, he discovered that among the weeds, there were rut marks.
At the outermost part of the field was a random patch of weeds, which, though it was only spring, were half a man's height, and the kind of thing grew when the wind wore it.
It was here that Chen Guang found the rut marks, and the bad feeling in his heart became stronger and stronger, he didn't care about the occasional thorns in the weeds, and hurriedly ran in, his clothes were cut several times by the barbs, and he looked a little embarrassed.
There seemed to be a few strange screams not far away, and I don't know what kind of animal came out, and there was a wind blowing in it, with the fragrance of some micro plants. If it weren't for the fact that many people had died here, it would have been cleaned up and built into a small yard, and even the greenery would have been saved, and it would still be such a quiet place.
About ten zhang away, Chen Guang saw the most unwanted things, jujube red horses, carriages.
A group of jujube red horses, grazing with their heads down, seemed to sense someone approaching, they stopped eating and raised their heads. Chen Guang hurriedly stopped, he was afraid that the horse would make a bark and startle the snake.
Okay, now the carriage has been found, but where is Zhou Zhiruo?
In order not to startle the snake, Chen Guang did not approach the carriage, but searched the surroundings with the carriage as the center more than ten zhang away from the carriage.
Although there is a lot of vegetation here, there is no hiding place, so if there is no special place, Chen Guang cannot find the existence of people. Since the carriage is here, it naturally means that someone is there.
What about people?
In a carriage? It shouldn't be possible, if you were in a carriage, you just went straight out of town, why bother choosing such a wonderful place.
Yes, this place is wonderful, so wonderful that Chen Guang didn't even know there was another such place before. First of all, it's in the city, can it do bad things according to general logic, in this kind of place? Of course, the more remote the better. Secondly, because so many people have died here, no one around here wants to leave, and even if someone is doing something here, no one will find out.
Soon after, Chen Guang discovered that under the shade of several large trees, there was a temple with only two walls left, and the clay sculptures inside could be faintly seen. This is a very significant discovery, and if there are people here, it is most likely to be in this temple.
Chen Guang entered the temple. The inside of the temple is very messy, and the main hall is full of ruins and broken walls, which seem to have been burned by fire, and there are still black marks in many places. It seems to be Guanyin here, and although there is only one base left for the statue, Chen Guang saw a hand on the ground holding a lotus finger. It should have been very imposing before, after all, it belonged to the royal temple. Chen Ang did not build a new capital when he accepted the Chan Order, so everything here is basically the same as in the previous dynasty.
The foundations of other buildings can be seen next to it, and the patterns on the surface of the stones scattered on the ground are still clearly visible, and the carvings are exquisitely carved and the craftsmanship is exquisite.
Where is it? Chen Guang walked almost crouching, and everything around him couldn't escape his eyes, including a snakeskin curled up in the corner of the wall a foot in front of him on his left when he walked twelve steps.
The hard work paid off, and finally behind the huge statue pedestal, Chen Guang discovered the anomaly.
The dust on this offering table was uneven and there were traces of smearing.
Chen Guang was in good spirits.
There are also strips of rotten cloth hanging on the table, which is enough to form a visual blind spot.
Chen Guang moved away from the table, and sure enough, he found a hole, which seemed to have a little glimmer of light.
He was in high spirits and went into the hole, and he found that it was actually a well-built stone staircase, which should be a dungeon.
After walking more than a dozen feet, he turned a corner, the light was a little brighter, he saw that there was a bend in front of him, and when he was about to leave, he heard a voice from inside.
The person who spoke seemed to be very excited, and his voice was a little hysterical, but Chen Guang couldn't hear it outside before, but now it was very clear.
Who's this?
Immediately afterwards, the voice seemed to be quieter, it was another person speaking, Chen Guang couldn't hear it clearly, he couldn't help but get closer, but unfortunately he still couldn't hear clearly.
He came closer, and finally heard the voice of a woman. He could distinguish this woman's voice at once, it was Zhou Zhiruo.
Although he didn't talk to Zhou Zhiruo much, Zhou Zhiruo's voice had been deeply engraved into his mind.
Zhou Zhiruo, sure enough, it was Zhou Zhiruo. Finally found Zhou Zhiruo, Chen Guang had a feeling of tears.
After hearing Zhou Zhiruo's voice, he seemed to have forgotten where he was now, and rushed out directly.
He saw that not far in front of him was a pool, about a foot high. Zhou Zhiruo's half body was soaked in water, and the water emitted a stench.
"Zhiruo!" When Chen Guang saw Zhou Zhiruo, he screamed happily, and then he felt pushed by someone behind him, and fell into the pool.
