Back at King Li's Mansion, Chu Lifeng fainted again, Jiang Yuchen guarded Chu Lifeng all night in order to keep his duty, and Gong Lingxi also stayed with Jiang Yuchen and stayed in King Li's Mansion for one night.

Xiaoyu had already been sent back to the mansion by her.

Regarding the fact that Gong Lingxi did not return at night, Gong Zhiqian almost went directly to the Li Wangfu to ask for someone, but fortunately he was stopped by Shu Fang.

With such a good herb as Fire Tongue Grass, Jiang Yuchen did not delay for a moment to give Chu Lifeng medicine.

As long as there is Fire Tongue Grass, Chu Lifeng's cold poison can be eliminated from the root.

Following.

Gong Lingxi was woken up by a hurried knock on the door, she was very busy this night, she just sat on the chair and took a nap, but she didn't think it was already dawn.

Wuying opened the door angrily, and when he saw the people from the yamen standing outside, he said in an unhappy tone: "What a bold man, what kind of place should you be here?" ”

Chu Lifeng, who was lying on the bed, immediately opened his eyes, "What's wrong?" ”

Jiang Yuchen said softly: "Lord Wang doesn't have to worry, it's just some trivial things." ”

After that, he glanced at Gong Lingxi, "Lingxi, we should go back." ”

After instructing Chu Lifeng a few words, Chu Lifeng's tense heartstrings loosened a little, and he watched them leave.

Gong Lingxi got up and walked beside Jiang Yuchen.

Tonight's events had nothing to do with her, and she didn't want to stay in King Li's Mansion, but Jiang Yuchen wanted her to stay, so she did so.

The head catcher standing at the gate was still talking to Wuying, and when he saw Gong Lingxi's eyes lit up, he immediately stepped forward, "Miss Gong, you finally came out!" ”

Gong Lingxi frowned slightly, looked at Liu Zhutou, and said coldly: "What's wrong?" ”

In the face of Gong Lingxi's indifferent attitude, Liu Zhutou was not annoyed, every time he saw Gong Lingxi, she was like this, probably by nature.

"Miss Gong, go to the outskirts of the city to take a look, now the matter is getting bigger and bigger, dozens of people have died, and I don't want to bother you, but if you don't solve this matter personally, I'm afraid there is really no way." Liu Zhutou sighed and said, his face full of sorrow, as if Gong Lingxi was going to cry directly if he didn't agree to him.

Gong Lingxi nodded, and said as he walked, "What the hell is going on?" Why are there dead people on the outskirts of the city? ”

Jiang Yuchen walked beside her.

Seeing that Gong Lingxi rarely took the initiative to pay attention to this matter, he didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.

Liu Zhutou sighed again and said eloquently, "Since you and Jiang Gongzi last went there, nothing has happened there for several days, but in the past few days, somehow, not only at night, but even the people who pass by there during the day have had accidents. That road was the only way for that village to reach the imperial city, and many merchants' carriages also passed there. ”

"This incident has been going on for three days, and many people have disappeared in these three days, and no one has been seen alive or dead, and I am afraid that they have been murdered. In order to prevent more people from being victimized, we have now closed that road. ”

"According to the local villagers, this is a phenomenon of gathering spirits, because there are many dead people, and those resentful spirits all gather together to do all kinds of evil, and fresh blood is needed to alleviate their grievances."

What Liu Zhutou said was terrifying, and even he himself was a little scared when he heard it.

Seeing Gong Lingxi's disapproving look, he exclaimed: "Miss Gong is really extraordinary, other women will feel scared when they hear this kind of strange thing." ”

"Liu Zhutou, take us to that road." Gong Lingxi commanded, glancing at Jiang Yuchen, Jiang Yuchen did not object to her approach at all.

Liu Zhutou was taken aback again, and persuaded: "Miss Gong, you better understand the situation first, that road is very dangerous, and even we officials don't dare to go in." ”

Thinking of the word "catch fast", Gong Lingxi thought of the waste that Youmu Lin had bullied Xiaoyu before, and his face turned a little colder.

"What else can you yamen do?" She spoke coldly, with displeasure in her tone.

Liu Zhutou was silent, scratching his head in embarrassment, not daring to offend the noble person in front of him at all.

However, Gong Lingxi's affirmative words will not be comfortable for anyone to listen to, this matter was originally caused by her, their yamen is only responsible for catching sinners, if it involves ghosts or something, it is not within their scope.

The three of them soon arrived at the outskirts of the city, and the road that Liu Zhutou said was walked by, and the hundred-year-old tree that he saw when he came with Jiang Yuchen was next to that road.

The scene today is very different from that day, the road is bleak and desolate, it seems to have no life at all, even the grass has withered, only the old tree is still standing tall.

"This is it." Liu Zhutou opened his mouth and said, glancing at the distance, "Miss Gong, we are here to close the road, and the businessmen passing by need to open the road as soon as possible, and the road closure will cause them to take a detour, which will take a lot of time and financial resources, in short, the sooner this matter is resolved, the better." ”

He glanced at Jiang Yuchen, and there was no matter of mentioning the reward, a big family like Gong Lingxi would not care about this outside of his body.

Gong Lingxi and Jiang Yuchen took a few steps forward, Gong Lingxi stopped, glanced at Liu Zhutou, who was hesitant behind him, and said loudly: "You go back, I'll be with Jiang Gongzi." ”

"Then," Liu Zhutou paused, as if he was a little uneasy, "you guys are careful!" ”

Gong Lingxi replied slightly, her face expressionless.

She really didn't care about these things, but the villagers insisted that this matter was caused by her, and I am afraid that it was all controlled by the mastermind behind the scenes.

Since this matter is aimed at her, it doesn't hurt for her to come and take a look.

She wanted to see who she was going to be with when she first came to this world.

The previous Nangong Lingxi was just a fool, and the only people who didn't like her were the daughters in the imperial city.

And the person who has created two major events now is definitely not because of Nangong Lingxi before.

"Jiang Gongzi, you haven't slept all night, so it's better to wait here." Gong Lingxi suddenly said in a voice, and his tone softened a little.

Jiang Yuchen smiled and said, "I'm a man, how can I be embarrassed to let you go on an adventure as a woman and sit here and enjoy it yourself?" ”

Gong Lingxi pursed her lips, "Then you can follow." ”

This road is still the same as before, it is no different, Gong Lingxi and Jiang Yuchen walked to the end of the closed road, and there were no accidents.

The phenomenon of gathering spirits in the mouths of the villagers did not appear, but was calm and abnormal.

Gong Lingxi frowned slightly.

"Maybe they'll recognize you." Jiang Yuchen reminded slowly.

Naturally, the two of them didn't believe in those strange rumors, and they must have spread them as false rumors.

"No, I recognize you." Gong Ling looked at Jiang Yuchen fiercely.
