Everything was put in order, twilight was approaching, and the faint moon was on the treetop branches, like the appearance of a shy girl's house, and she was ashamed to refuse to spread the light all over the land.

Sheng Changning originally wanted to resign from the farewell banquet that Zhang Li held for her, she had never liked to participate in that kind of banquet, but Lixia always felt that something was wrong, and hinted a lot to her around the bend.

Seeing the little girl sighing, Sheng Changning's expression moved slightly, and she said, "Then let's go." ”

When Lixia heard this, he was really overjoyed, "Princess, if you can go to the banquet, you will give Zhang City Lord enough face, and he will be very happy!" ”

Seeing her such a presumptuous appearance, the female official Mo on the side wanted to say two words about Lixia, but when she saw that the princess's eyebrows were also dyed with two points of joy, she had to swallow the words back into her stomach.

Changed into a modest and decent clothes, Bai Lu was skillful, and she used to pull her hair, but now she didn't know where to go.

Then she came to Lixia, and the little girl couldn't hold back her lively temperament, like a little sparrow, chirping in her ear.

Sheng Changning listened to her quietly and quietly tell her about the interesting things he had seen in Xunyang City these days, Sheng Changning did not interrupt her, but only listened while raising his eyes to look at himself in the mirror.

After looking at it for a while, she stretched out her hand again and pulled off the bead hairpin on her bun and replaced it with the red luan wooden hairpin that Shen Yue gave her.

"I don't know why, anyway, those missing girls haven't come back, but the people in Xunyang City are patriarchal, and they don't care much about these missing female dolls......"

Li Xia was talking about the strange things in Xunyang City, and after catching a glimpse of Sheng Changning's behavior from the mirror, she hurriedly said: "Princess, why don't you take off all the pearl hairpins, wearing them like this is really not very eye-catching......

Sheng Changning shook her head, there were two hairpins pinned to her bun, and the wooden hairpins were on top of the beads, like a red and green pair, which looked very weird.

"And then you say, those kids were found later?"

Sheng Changning was quite interested in these stories in Lixia's words, and seeing that Lixia was no longer speechless, he asked again and asked her to continue.

"The girls have not been found."

Seeing Sheng Changning like this, Lixia had to tighten her hairpin for her, and hearing her ask like this, Lixia immediately regained his interest, and hurriedly continued: "It's just that the children have been lost, and naturally the people in the city are panicking, for fear that the rest of the children will disappear like them. ”

"Daoist?"

Sheng Changning frowned slightly, although she now had a mixed attitude towards ghosts and gods, she still did not change her opinion on these rivers and lakes.

Nonsense, swagger and deception.

If Zhang Li really thought that there was a demon at work, so he invited a Taoist priest to take a look, those children were destined to not be found and could not come back.

At the mention of this, Lixia's expression added two points of excitement: "Yes! This Taoist priest had traveled from the south, and many people had heard of his great name. Sure enough, he only lived in Xunyang City for a few days, and no children disappeared. ”

"Hongu thinks it's ridiculous."

Sheng Changning raised his eyes and said, "Why don't you say that in the days he lived, the murderer who just took away the child stopped?" ”

Hearing this, Lixia was choked for a while, and after a long pause, she said, "Slave maid...... I don't know how, but the people in the city have said that it was the Taoist priest who was so profound that he subdued those demons, so that their children were spared......"

Sheng Changning sneered slightly, "In this way, isn't that Taoist priest quite famous in Xunyang City." ”

"The princess is smart."

Lixia hurriedly said: "That Taoist priest has indeed won the hearts of Xunyang City because of this matter, and he is also full of praise for the city lord Zhang, when the slave maid went to see the city lord this morning, the city lord also mentioned this person to the slave maid......

"He's still in Xunyang City?" Sheng Changning asked with a twisted eyebrow.

Seeing that Lixia nodded hurriedly, Sheng Changning couldn't help but contemplate again.

This man came from the south, and the land south of the Yangtze River is far better than here, but he chose to stay in this barren land in the north, which really makes people wonder what his purpose is......

"Princess ......"

Outside, there was the voice of Lady Mo Official, the footsteps came from far and near, the curtain was opened, and the person who came was Lady Mo Officer, "The banquet hosted by the city is about to start, are you ready?" ”

Sheng Changning answered her, and when she got up, Lixia hurriedly put on a shawl for her, "It's windy and cold at night, don't catch a cold." ”

After living in this city for a few days, Zhang Li was used to treating Sheng Changning with great courtesy, and he could take care of everything in every detail, and now even if Sheng Changning was about to leave, he still adhered to his previous style.

The soft sedan chair that came out of the city lord's mansion had been waiting outside the courtyard for a long time, and Lixia helped Sheng Changning to get on the soft sedan chair.

Before leaving, Sheng Changning suddenly remembered something, lifted the curtain in the sedan chair, and asked Lixia, "Where did Bai Lu go?" Why haven't you seen her all this time? ”

Lixia hurriedly put up the curtain for her, and she was also a little puzzled, "The slave doesn't know, I haven't seen Sister Bailu just now, oh yes!" Earlier, she said that she was going to the kitchenette to see the food used for the night, but she never came back......"

Sheng Changning bowed slightly, she pondered for a while and said, "Go and tell the left guards to find Bai Lu." ”

In this Xunyang City, there are Zuo Nan and their children in the courtyard to take care of them, Sheng Changning is not afraid that something will happen to Bai Lu, but he is ......

Lowering the curtain, Sheng Changning raised her hand and rubbed her fingertips between her eyebrows, why did she always feel that something was wrong......

Lixia, who was outside the sedan chair, listened to this command, hurriedly responded, pulled the maid next to him, and told him carefully, and then went with Sheng Changning's sedan chair.

Xunyang City is not big, the city lord's mansion stands in the north of the city, and the small courtyard of Sheng Changning is a south and a north far away.

But the sedan chair man carrying the sedan chair outside had a strong foot, and after a while, Sheng Changning arrived in front of the city lord's mansion.

The bright moon that had been shy to look at before had climbed to the middle of the sky, unabashedly shining the light around the earth, and the moonlight tonight was particularly moving, sprinkled with a warm and moist silver light like a fine silver ribbon.

Sheng Changning withdrew her gaze from the sedan chair drivers who were far away, and soon someone came forward, and a beautiful voice like a yellow bird called her.

"Princess ......"
