Chapter 35: Guardian of the Hall of Stars

In the early morning of the second day, the carriage and horse honor guard of the Dongzhao royal family went out of the city in a mighty way, and went to the Chonglin Mountain Bamo paddock, when just out of the Shangling City Gate, Zuo Chen called Su Yan who was riding in front, and Su Yan dismounted and Zuo Chen came to the side.

"General, there is news about the people and things you asked me to investigate."

"Tell me, how?"

Zuo Chen whispered to Su Yan the results of his investigation.

After Su Yan heard this, he said in his heart: Sure enough, his guess was not wrong.

He immediately got on the horse, turned the horse's head, turned around and ordered: "Zuo Chen, you go and talk to Shaoyang, I have something important to go back to the city immediately, and then I will speed up to the paddock as soon as possible!" Then he hurried away with a whip of the dust.

Ruoyao was in a fog, very quiet, she didn't know where she was, vaguely she saw that there seemed to be a figure not far in front of her, and after a while, the fog gradually dissipated, and the back became clearer and clearer.

"Wei ...... Wei Hanging? ”

I saw the red black blood flowing down Wei Xuan's arm to the arrow bow, and then fell to the ground drop by drop along the bowstring, and said in a familiar voice that no longer had a trace of warmth: "I will take them to the purgatory ......where they should go" Then Wei Xuan reached out and pulled out the last arrow in the quiver behind his back.

Ruoyao tried to stop him but found that he couldn't move at all, he walked farther and farther, and kept repeating in his mouth: "I don't have time...... Running out of time......"

"Wei hang...... Wei Han! Ruoyao opened her eyes suddenly, gasping for breath, and gradually regained consciousness before realizing that it was a dream of her own.

She looked back at the empty room, she was already lying in the inn where she had settled before, as if she was lost and as if she had already thought of it, she sighed secretly: "He is still gone......"

Then there was a knock on the door, "Girl, are you awake?" It was a woman's voice.

Ruoyao answered and let her in.

A slightly chubby middle-aged woman came in with a basin of steaming water, Ruoyao had seen this person when she entered the store, and she should be the proprietress of this inn.

"Girl, you're awake, come and wipe your face!" The proprietress said enthusiastically.

"How long have I been asleep?"

"It's been a day and two nights, and the boy brought you back the night before, just saying that you are sick, let us take care of you."

Hearing Childe, Ruoyao asked eagerly, "What about Childe?" ”

"He set you up, and gave us some silver taels to take care of you, and then went out, and I wonder why he has to go out so late, there must be something important." The hostess waved her hand.

"And where did he go?"

"No, just look at him in a hurry, oh yes, and asked us to buy a horse, I guess it's out of town, right?"

Out of town?! Ruoyao pressed her sore neck and put on her shoes and was about to go out, staggering and almost falling on the threshold.

The proprietress hurriedly stepped forward to support her, "Hey, girl, you just woke up, it's not good to move around, where are you going?" Although this woman is not related to her, it is strange and pitiful to see her alone, not to mention that she also accepted the child's silver.

Ruoyao didn't care about her body at this time, and her heart was in chaos, only one voice shouted: "I can't watch you fall into the darkness like this, I can't ......"

As soon as she walked out of the door, she saw that the shopkeeper was leading a person through the main hall of the inn towards her, Ruoyao stopped, she recognized it as Su Yan.

"Miss Ruoyao."

"General Su, long time no see." Ruoyao was very polite, although she didn't know what Su Yan was looking for, but she had already thought about it in her heart.

Then Su Yan and Ruoyao sat in a quiet private room on the second floor of the inn.

After sending away the shopkeeper, Su Yan Zhengse said: "That year in Nancang Kingdom, I was in a hurry with the army, and I didn't have time to thank you for your treatment. ”

Ruoyao shook her head: "During the war, I entered the camp as a medical woman, and it was my duty to save the dead and help the wounded, not to mention that Dongzhao was my Nancang reinforcement, so you don't have to say thank you." ”

"Dare to ask Miss Ruoyao why she came to Dongzhao this time?" Su Yan poured a cup of tea for Ruoyao as he spoke.

Ruoyao was silent, picked up the teacup and took a sip, she naturally couldn't tell others about Wei Hang's matter at will, but since Su Yan took the initiative to find herself, she must have already known something, so there was no need for her to make up a reason rashly.

Sure enough, Su Yan saw that Ruoyao was silent, and asked straight to the point: "You came here at this time for the man who appeared in Dongzhao with you, right?" ”

Ruoyao nodded.

"The few people who died in the West Dome in recent days were his hands." Su Yan is not questioning, but stating.

This time, Ruoyao was a little surprised, and looked at Su Yan who was sitting opposite with a little vigilance.

Su Yan had already received the news that several soldiers of the West Dome had died at the hands of unknown people, and these dead people were Mu Ting's old department, and he was also keenly aware that they were the people who went to Nancang at the same time. Coupled with the time when Zuo Chen came to tell him that he had found out that Ruoyao came to Dongzhao early this morning, and a man who was traveling with her with a little strange behavior, Su Yan had a rough guess.

"Then he's ......"

"He's Wei Han."

"Wei Han? The guardian of the Hall of Stars? Su Yan was surprised, he thought that the man's identity must be extraordinary, but he didn't expect that it would be the person who guarded the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion in the Liangyi Temple of the Southern Cangguo.

Ruoyao got up and went to the table and bowed to Su Yan.

Seeing this, Su Yan hurriedly stopped her: "Miss Ruoyao, what are you doing?" ”

"Ruoyao has something she wants to ask General Su Yan for help."

"If there is any difficulty, you should open your mouth, don't make this big gift."

"Please help me save the guard!" Ruoyao's words were full of pleading and helplessness.

"If you can help, I won't refuse, but please tell me everything in detail."

"You're right, those people were indeed killed by Wei Xuan, he was in order to kill all the people who led the army of the West Dome, originally the first thing he wanted to find was Mu Ting, the commander of the West Dome, but he didn't want Mu Ting to disappear a few months ago, so he turned to the people under Mu Ting's command one by one."

"Then you came to Dongzhao ......," Su Yan slowly had an ominous premonition in his heart.

"His next target is Mu Ting's daughter, Mu Yunyi, the princess of An and Princess who also led the troops to fight at that time, I heard that Princess An and Princess are now in Dongzhao, so he also came here, waiting for an opportunity to do something, and I followed him here to stop him."

Ruoyao's words confirmed the thoughts that Su Yan didn't dare to say in his heart, "So where did he appear?" ”

"He knocked me unconscious two days ago, and then left, and I heard from the innkeeper that he must have been out of town overnight."

Two days ago...... Out of town......

"Bang!" Su Yan's clenched fist slammed into the table, "Oh no! ”
