Chapter 365: Entering the City ......
In the middle of the night, Yue Shao'an and Mrs. Long rode slowly side by side, and Mrs. Long, who was anxious in her heart, also relaxed after the scene just now, although there was no danger in the matter, but it still made her afraid for a while, if Yue Shaoan didn't come today, then she estimated that she would be more than lucky.
After the two of them walked for a while, Yue Shaoan suddenly asked, "Sister Long, did you leak your whereabouts before today?" ”
Mrs. Long looked at Yue Shao'an and understood why he asked this, because Li Gang came too quickly, and when she fought with the mysterious person, in the end, the two of them read the words and prepared to go out, which was not too long, and there were so many officers and soldiers gathered outside.
It seems that Li Gang should have known his whereabouts before this, thinking of this, Mrs. Long nodded lightly and said: "I didn't think so much before, I thought that after so many years, no one would pay attention to my existence, but when I went out a few days ago, I seemed to see an acquaintance, at first, because I didn't see it that day, I couldn't remember who it was, tonight I was about to go out to investigate, but I found that there was a woman in black in Xiaofeng's room, when she saw me, Without saying a word, I turned around and left, and when I was chasing her, you happened to appear, so I couldn't catch up. ”
Yue Shao'an pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes, in this way, the acquaintance you met should be Li Gang." By the way, Sister Long, you said you saw a woman dressed in black? ”
"Yes!" Mrs. Long looked at Yue Shao'an suspiciously: "What clues do you have?" ”
"So, the woman who used to be by my side wasn't you?"
"What's around?" Lady Long asked in surprise.
"It was when I was in Hangzhou that I was assassinated with the lord of Dali, and I was ...... in Xuancheng"
Without waiting for Yue Shao'an to finish speaking, Mrs. Long shook her head and said, "Since you left last time, I have never taken half a step out of Hangzhou City, so naturally it won't be me!" ”
"Yes, yes!" Yue Shaoan patted his head: "I should have thought of it a long time ago, if it was Sister Long, there was no need to be so hidden, and I didn't even say a word." ”
Saying that, Yue Shaoan looked at Mrs. Long, she was also dressed in black now, but her bee waist and hips, Yue Shaoan was already very familiar, and he could see that it was her at a glance, and that woman felt very familiar, but she seemed to be a complete stranger, he couldn't remember where he had seen it.
In the end, Yue Shaoan really couldn't figure it out, so he shook his head and didn't think about it anymore, this matter had been bothering him for a long time, and he didn't have a clue for half a year, let alone when there were so many things tonight.
"Could the woman in black you are talking about be the same person I saw today?" Lady Long asked suddenly.
"Quite possibly!" Yue Shaoan nodded lightly: "If it is the same person, then she has no malicious intentions, but is helping Sister Long." ”
"Oh?" Mrs. Long was a little puzzled: "How do you say this?" ”
"Sister Long, you must know that the reason why I appeared in your courtyard today is because she led me there." Yue Shaoan said thoughtfully: "It seems that she got the news in advance and took me to help you." ”
"Then why didn't she show up and say it clearly?" Madame Long stared ahead, as if she was asking Yue Shao'an and seemed to be talking to herself.
"I don't know." Yue Shao'an smiled bitterly, this question had been in his mind for so long, and he had been trying to find the answer, but the answer seemed to be getting farther and farther away: "Okay, let's go back first!" It's still important to look for Xiaofeng......"
Putting aside the thoughts in his mind, Yue Shao'an shook the reins and sped up his speed a little, Madam Long followed closely behind, and the two of them rushed straight towards the Emperor's Mansion......
……
……
In the Emperor's Mansion, most people had fallen asleep, only Gao Chong and Hong Meng accompanied Yue Shao'an and Mrs. Long in the study, after Yue Shao'an came back, he found Gao Chong over, and asked him to go overnight to find someone who knew geography to inquire where the so-called "Shicheng" was.
However, more than half an hour has passed, and there is still no clue, Yue Shaoan is already a little impatient, and his fingers tap on the table and say, "Gao Chong, go and see, have they found out?" ”
"Yes!" Gao Chong nodded and walked out of the study, and after asking for a while in the next room, he came back: "Mr. Yue, they said they wanted to see you and explain the situation to you in person." ”
Yue Shaoan nodded: "Just let them send a representative over." ”
After going out again just now, after a while, a person over half a hundred years old walked in, and the person was about to salute when he saw Yue Shaoan, Yue Shaoan waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite, old man, how is the inquiry?" ”
"Return to the Emperor!" The old man pinched his gray beard and said with some embarrassment: "The situation is like this, we have checked the documents of the previous dynasty and the cities that have recently been renamed due to the war, and even some villages, but we have not found a ...... called Shicheng."
Yue Shao'an looked a little disappointed: "Isn't there one?" ”
"......No," the old man shook his head, his face a little bitter.
Madame Long bit her lip tightly, and her face became paler and paler as the two spoke.
Yue Shao'an hadn't completely given up, he thought for a while and said, "Maybe there is a city with a similar name?" ”
"This has to be true!" The old man looked up.
"Speak quickly, old gentleman!" Yue Shaoan stood up from his chair.
"Emperor, do you still need to ask me about this?" The old man asked with a little surprise.
"I rely on ......" Yue Shao'an was in a hurry, and almost went berserk with a bunch of foul language, but fortunately, he held back in time and changed his words: "You are an expert, don't ask who you ask?" ”
"Emperor, isn't there a city called Song Shicheng?" The old man coughed: "If the old man remembers correctly, that city is your fiefdom!" ”
"Ahem......" This time it was Yue Shao'an's turn to cough, his face changed, and he said with righteousness: "Old gentleman, you can't talk nonsense, I'm not a vassal king, there will be a back cover, that city is just because it has just been warned, and the emperor has given me a little more power for the sake of the people." ”
"The villain lost his words, the emperor forgives me......" The old man put on a panicked expression.
Yue Shao'an didn't waste his tongue on this question, but asked directly: "However, that city is called Xuancheng, Song Shicheng, and it is just the name given by the people, so it should not be accurate, right?" ”
"No, no!" The old man shook his head and said: "Emperor, you must know that among the people, they only know Song Shicheng and do not know Xuancheng, so in fact, the name of that city is now Song Shicheng......
Yue Shaoan nodded in surprise, he turned his head, looked at Mrs. Long and said, "Sister Long, what do you think?" ”
Madam Long looked a little excited: "What this gentleman said should be right, enter the city, enter the city...... It should be Song Shicheng. ”
