Chapter 654: Dreams
Blind? Xingsheng and the crowd still looked dazed.
The director also said: "This ...... I am afraid that it is not enough to make fireworks just by feeling it. The implication is that even if he doesn't recognize this person, this person will never be a prosperous person.
What's the difference between saying this and not saying it? The Praetorian guard rolled her eyes and continued to stare at the girl who had pointed out that she was blind.
He was still looking forward to what Master Qiao would say next.
However, the girl did not give him any expectations, and was silent, and said "oh", and did not continue to ask, but walked to the chair on the side of the hall and sat down.
"Master Qiao, aren't you going to continue asking?"
It was probably the girl who looked so good at talking that the Praetorian guards became emboldened and asked directly.
When the girl heard this, she spread her hands and said, "I have nothing to ask now, do you have it?" ”
Of course he didn't? The Praetorian guard shook his head.
The girl smiled at him and said in a kind tone: "Then go down and wash up, it's strange that there is so much blood on your body." ”
The forbidden guards let out a blank "oh" and turned their heads and walked out of the side hall. The oncoming cold wind hit him with a chill, and he suddenly came back to his senses and seemed to be a little wrong.
As for what was wrong, he realized when he saw the female officer walking this way: this corpse is still there! Master Qiao didn't continue to ask and sent him out, didn't he want to continue asking?
The "corpse" that is always taken over by himself "with his own hands", the first thing, I don't see a reason that always makes people worry about it.
Seeing that the female official sent by His Majesty had entered the side hall, he simply lifted his feet, turned back, and followed back to the side hall.
When the girl saw the female official come in, she smiled and saluted each other, and then told the "Lao Zheng" thing that she heard from Xingsheng and the three of them, and finally pointed out that the person who was hidden in the fireworks was a blind man.
After listening to it very carefully, the female officer nodded before she nodded, indicating that she knew, and then said: "The national sacrifice ceremony is almost over, Lord Qiao will go to the side hall with me to change into clean clothes, and go back later!" ”
Although there are a lot of things in the imperial city treasury, there are still some items that will not be prepared, such as the official robes of court officials.
In this case, it would be too high-profile for her to leave the imperial city in full view of everyone in a bloody official robe. Naturally, I could only wait for the hundred officials to leave before leaving.
When the girl heard this, she immediately thanked the female officer, and then raised her feet and followed her out of the side hall and left.
It wasn't until the back of the girl who left could no longer be seen that the forbidden army guards withdrew their gaze: So, Master Qiao really left without looking back, and this case is like this today?
What else could it be? I don't even know who the corpse is, so naturally I need to further verify the identity of the corpse and find that Lao Zheng, and advance it through the news from the mouth of the "witness" or "suspect".
The phrase "it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice" is also used here in Dali Temple to investigate the case.
……
……
With the end of the national sacrifice ceremony, the hundred officials knelt down on the mountain again and shouted long live.
"Master Qiao hasn't come back!" Xu Hexiu couldn't help but probe around, and whispered to Zhen Shiyuan.
"I'm watching!" Zhen Shiyuan rolled his eyelids, didn't look at him, and only looked at Zhang Xie who was standing on a high platform not far away, "Zhang Tianshi is here, she is not here, I always feel weird." ”
Xu Hexiu's heart jumped when he listened, and he instinctively blurted out, "Isn't it possible that the palace maid who came to invite people before is also pretending to be like Zhou Shilin?" ”
mentioned Zhou Shilin, so he instinctively glanced at Zhou Shilin, and the mentioned Zhou Shilin stayed there decently, but his eyes also rolled to look this way.
In a glance, as if he understood something, Xu Hexiu hurriedly turned his head to Zhen Shiyuan and said, "Zhou Shilin doesn't know, and he is looking for her everywhere." Without waiting for Zhen Shiyuan to speak, Xu Hexiu couldn't help but say again, "I'll tell Xie Zhi soon, Master Qiao is gone." ”
It didn't appear at the national sacrifice ceremony presided over by Xie Zhi, although Lord Qiao was not the kind of woman who took her husband as the sky, but looking at Lord Qiao's reaction before coming, it was obvious that he was looking forward to the sacrifice ceremony that Xie Zhi was going to preside, but now the person was gone, the more Xu Hexiu thought about it, the more frightened he became, and after His Majesty said "Get up", he hurriedly stood up and was about to rush forward.
Just took a step, and the person was pulled by Zhen Shiyuan on the side, and in the face of Xu Hexiu's puzzled gaze, Zhen Shiyuan raised his chin with the appearance of "coming over", and said: "That Zhang Tianshi didn't even look at the sacrificial ceremony here, and now as soon as the sacrificial ceremony is over, the person turns his head and leaves, it can be seen that he knows better than us where the girl surnamed Qiao is." ”
As he spoke, Zhang Jie's back turned around the corner of the hall and disappeared in front of everyone.
"Let's go!" After saying this, Zhen Shiyuan stretched out his hand and pushed Xu Hexiu's arm, shrunk his neck, looked at the bleak sky when he was just over, yawned, and said, "I watch the sky at night, with her, something must have happened in the palace today, left and right...... We'll find out sooner or later, so let's go back and catch up on sleep sooner! ”
In the previous affairs of His Royal Highness, he thought that His Majesty was protected by the True Dragon Son of Heaven, and in the end he stopped her. Just when he was feeling the strength of the Son of Heaven, the reality gave him a big slap.
Facts have proved that there are some people in this world who can't be suppressed by the qi of the true dragon and the son of heaven.
From a certain point of view, it was not without reason that everyone in Jinling was "afraid" of her and "hid" from her.
Moreover, according to his "years" of experience, the cases she is involved in are often the higher the status of the person she comes into contact with, the more troublesome the case will be.
This time, it happened in the Imperial City, by Your Majesty's side!
That's really ...... It's exciting to think about.
When Zhen Shiyuan thought about this, he couldn't help but feel a little weak: this is none of his business, and it is not that he is biased to bring her in, she came in with her ability, and he Dali Temple does not do such bribery and suppression, everything is based on ability.
As for cases that are led by ability, of course, it is also called speaking by ability.
……
……
Of course, His Majesty will not be a "hero", and the female official took her to take a nap There is a small couch in the side hall for her to make up for sleep. After changing into a palace skirt, Qiao Ran lay down on the couch.
After the female officer saw her lying down and resting, she walked to the incense burner on the side and lit the incense to help her sleep.
When she came, Lady Xue specially mentioned that Master Qiao was tired from a busy night, and if she needed a rest, she should arrange it properly, and it should be best to meet all needs.
This sleep incense is naturally the best, and His Majesty also likes it!
Your Majesty will like it, and so will Lord Qiao! The female officer thought so.
The room was warm, and the incense in the incense burner was faintly burning.
It was really a good thing to sleep, and the girl's breathing soon turned shallow and regular.
The female officer stayed in the room for a while, and when she saw that the girl did not make any more noise, she turned around and silently withdrew.
The matter mentioned by Master Qiao just now about Xingsheng and that "Lao Zheng" and the multiple corpses that are suspected of being blind has to be reported back, and there are forbidden guards guarding and patrolling outside, and it is extremely safe here.
The door was gently closed, and even though it had been deliberately lightened, there was still a slight crashing sound.
At this time, the female official was no longer in the hall, and naturally the mature girl who couldn't see the regular breathing and slept suddenly jumped her eyelids, although she didn't open her eyes, but her eyeballs were moving rapidly, as if she was trapped in some nightmare.
……
……
Lucid dreaming.
When he saw the official roads around him with smoke and dust, and the horses occasionally galloping away, this was Qiao Ran's first feeling.
This was not the first time she had had a lucid dream, but it was the first time she had felt it to this extent.
Is it that this body is particularly prone to lucid dreaming? Qiao Ran couldn't help laughing at herself, just looking at everything around her, but she felt a little strange.
This lucid dream was different from the previous few times, in the past she could clearly feel the world being magnified in her eyes, and the low perspective of "herself".
It belongs to the "original owner" of the body, and some images are engraved in the mind in swaddling clothes.
But this time is different, this time, everything around is not magnified, and the perspective is normal, not so low, as if it is ...... It was as if she was in the middle of it.
If it weren't for the clear affirmation that she should have taken a nap in the side hall, she would have wondered if she had really been dragged to this place.
Of course, this is impossible, it is impossible for people to run from the side hall of the imperial city to the official road with smoke and dust in an instant.
Moreover, Qiao Ran looked down at his feet, and at the feet of the official road was a green weed, and there were even many unknown wildflowers blooming on it.
The colorful and vibrant appearance is very good-looking, Qiao Ran squatted down, picked a wildflower and played with it in his hand.
The realism of the tentacles made her feel a little emotional: it was really like the real thing.
But it's a pity that this kind of vitality will not appear in the entire Dachu at the moment, because it is the middle of winter in Dachu now, not when the vegetation is abundant.
Qiao Ran raised her foot curiously, and walked forward while playing with the wildflowers in her hand.
After walking a few steps, a few horses passed by her, and the smoke from the horses' hooves hit her, splashing her head and face. Qiao Ran choked on the smoke and coughed violently.
Just as he was coughing, the few horses passing by suddenly stopped, and they seemed to glance at this side in the smoke and dust, Qiao Ran didn't notice it, but the few horses that passed by before suddenly turned their horses' heads and ran towards this side again.
With the previous experience of being splashed on his face, Qiao Ran hurriedly stepped aside, wanting to get out of the way of those people.
It's just that when some people are coming for you, it's useless for you to dodge.
The horsemen came to a halt before her.
Everyone was already approaching, and Qiao Ran had to look up at them.
Probably because he clearly knew that he was dreaming lucidly, and he was much more courageous than usual, Qiao Ran looked at the riders in front of him unabashedly.
They all look like young people who are no more than twenty or thirty years old, with thin and vigorous bodies, and they look like they are practicing their families. Of course, it is not only because of the shape of the family that they are practicing the family, but also because of the robes on these people, although it is not clear which one they belong to, but judging from the style of clothing and the waist knives that everyone is wearing, it seems that they are the guards in which house they can speak.
Just thinking like this, I saw the young man in his twenties and thirties at the head speak: "Are you a citizen of the city? It's not a smooth road, how did you come here alone? ”
Qiao Ran was stunned: What kind of people in the city, the road is not smooth?
But before she could react, a rope was tied to the person's waist, and then the whole person took off into the air, and before she could exclaim, the whole person was thrown on the horse's back.
"It's your luck to meet us and others patrolling out of the city," said the person who spoke up before, making his own decision, "It just so happens that I'm going back to the city to resume my life, so you can go with us!" ”
Saying this, before she could react, the horse's buttocks under her body were smacked, the horse was in pain, and hurriedly took Qiao Ran to run wildly, Qiao Ran, who was tied to the horse's back, was dizzy for a while, but she forgot to even say anything to resist.
By the time the horseback had slowed down, there were already a lot of people around. Qiao Ran tilted her head to look at the group of people, there were hawkers carrying burdens, farmers carrying hoes, and even families returning from going out, all kinds of people.
Qiao Ran looked at the group of ordinary people, who were walking towards the herbal tea stall on the side of the road at this time.
The guy with the teapot shuttles through the tea stall, serving tea and snacks for people, and looks happy.
Qiao Ran looked at it seriously on the back of the horse, and even forgot about the uncomfortable lying on the horse's back for a while.
This group of people, who seemed to be tired of walking and resting, drank tea at this time, ate snacks and began to chat.
"I'm finally going home," they said as they looked at the old and young family who had returned from a long trip, and they sighed, "It's not easy to go out on business, I thought I could make a lot of money, but I didn't think about making a lot of hard money, and in the future, I won't do such a loss-making business again!" ”
"Ben don't go out and run around," shouted the farmer with his hoe aside, "what better place to do than our town?" ”
Zhennan City? Qiao Ran frowned slightly: She hasn't seen the Great Chucheng County yet, and the southern city of this town is not very clear.
But the name of this city sounds a bit domineering.
"You mean the treasure of Zhennan Palace!" The farmer said, and the old family who returned from going out laughed, "It's all a shadowless thing, if there is really a treasure, will this Zhennan Wangfu go back more and more?" It's hard to say whether the king of Nanwang in this town can keep it or not! ”
King of Zhennan! Qiao Ran's heart jumped, and the unforgettable memory made her quickly remember the king of Zhennan who had disappeared, and even the princess of Zhennan had already returned to her parents' house...... This town is the king of the south...... I really can't keep it.
Of course, this is just the King of Zhennan in reality, and the King of Zhennan in this dream doesn't know what the situation is, Qiao Ran thought.
Just as she was thinking about it, the rope that bound her suddenly loosened, and she fell from the smooth back of the horse to the ground without support.
"Go home!" The guards drew the ropes, and said to the girl who was grinning in pain on the ground, and stretched out his hand, pointing to the city not far ahead, "Just enter the city." ”
On the city gate not far ahead, the word "Zhennan" is written impressively.
