Chapter 108: What's the Matter?
Three days later, the two siblings, Hei Kui and Hei Yao, came to Cang Wunian's mansion, and what Cang Wunian and An Ruyue didn't expect was that Gu Wentian actually asked An Ruyue to go with him.
"Young master, if everything is ready, let's go. Hei Kui respectfully hugged his fists.
Cang Wunian's face condensed slightly: "You two go outside and wait first, I still have some things to explain to the steward." ”
Hei Kui and Hei Yao glanced at each other, and they both felt a little strange. On weekdays, Gu asked the world what orders he had issued, and Cang Wunian almost never explained to the people in the house, so it can be said that he would leave neatly. Why do you look at the young master's expression today, but it seems that he will become a benevolent person if he does not succeed.
Even if they were puzzled, the two of them did not dare to disobey Cang Wunian's intentions, and respectfully retreated outside the mansion.
At the moment when Hei Kui and Hei Yao disappeared from his sight, Cang Wunian immediately entered his mana secret room, and An Ruyue, Jing Congyi, and Hua Chengcheng were also summoned.
"Ruyue and I need to leave for a few days, and everything that will be painted in these days will be handed over to you. In the secret room, Cang Wunian said to Jing Congyi with a serious face.
"The subordinates obeyed. Jing Congyi replied respectfully.
"Brother Wunian, where are you going?" As soon as he heard that Cang Wunian was leaving, Hua Chengcheng couldn't help but ask worriedly.
"I don't know where I'm going yet, but I'll be sure to get back soon. Cang Wunian smiled faintly, but there was no smile in his eyes.
An Ruyue on the side opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't say a word. It's just that with a complicated expression, he looked back and forth on the painting Allure and Cang Wunian.
"In the meantime, I'll find a way to contact you, and if I can't return within three days, you'll activate the mechanism in this secret room. This secret room is in touch with me, and I can bring you to me as soon as possible. Cang Wunian told Jing Congyi again.
After explaining the only thing he was worried about at the moment, Cang Wunian and An Ruyue left the suburban mansion.
The carriage traveled all the way west, and after about half a day, Cang Wunian and his party came to a small village located around the imperial capital.
In a farmhouse that doesn't seem to be anything special, Gu Wentian leisurely sipps tea. Seeing the arrival of Cang Wunian and An Ruyue, he put down the teacup and smiled: "Nian'er and Elder Ruyue came quite in time. ”
"The father-in-law has an order, and the child should obey it, I don't know what the father-in-law needs the child and Ruyue to do this time?"
"Go down first. Gu Wentian waved his hand at Hei Kui and Hei Yao, motioning for the two of them to step back.
After Hei Kui and Hei Yao left, Gu Wentian said leisurely: "Nian'er, have you heard that there have been some strange movements in Panxi Town recently?"
Cang Wunian's heart jumped, but his face was unshocked: "I've heard that it is said that the people in that town seem to be infected with the plague. ”
"Yes, but my father has heard that it doesn't seem to be an ordinary plague. This time, my father plans to take you over to see what is so special that you may find something special. Gu Wentian's expression was as usual, but it brought a feeling that Cang Wunian and An Ruyue had something to say.
A bad premonition surged into the hearts of Cang Wunian and the others at the same time, and intuitively, they guessed that Gu Wentian's purpose of taking him in and controlling them fifteen years ago was about to be revealed.
Panxi Town is nearly a thousand miles away from where they are now staying, but Gu Wentian waved his hands in his sleeve robe and sealed it, and within a cup of tea, he brought Cang Wunian and An Ruyue to Panxi Town.
The moment his feet stepped on the boundary of Panxi Town, Cang Wunian's heart couldn't help but begin to turbulent. He naturally knew that Gu Wentian was somewhat capable, but he didn't expect that he still underestimated him, this distance of thousands of miles, if it was a normal carriage and horse, it would take half a month. But Gu Wentian took two people with him on his own, and it only took less than a cup of tea to arrive.
A gust of wind blew, and An Ruyue couldn't help but shiver. This town is located on the border between Wansang and Kosi countries, and it stands to reason that it should be very crowded and lively on weekdays.
But now standing at the entrance of the town, what comes into view is a desolate and dilapidated scene, and a chilling death air is faintly revealed in the gloomy sky.
"Where are all the people in this town?" asked Cang Wunian in a low voice, frowning.
"Since it is infected with the plague, it should be a dead escape, and the rest are probably closed. An Ruyue muttered in a low voice.
"Elder Ruyue is very smart, but according to this investigation, since the people in this town were infected with that strange plague, they have been closed during the day, but they are very active at night. Let's find a place to settle down first, and then come out after sunset to find out some clues. Gu Wentian proposed.
Hearing this, An Ruyue subconsciously glanced at Cang Wunian, and both of them saw a trace of worry and doubt in each other's eyes. However, they did not speak very tacitly, and they acquiesced in Gu Wentian's proposal. In fact, since the two of them had followed Gu Wentian to this place with a strange atmosphere everywhere, it was natural that everything would follow each other's intentions, so as to figure out what tricks Gu Wentian wanted to play.
"But it is up to the Father-in-law to decide. Cang Wunian's eyelashes drooped slightly, covering up the vigilance and coldness in his eyes.
......
At sunset, he slashed the Luo Zongnai.
"In the past few days, has there been any news from that girl in Allure?" In the courtyard of Suiyun Yuan, Aunt Hui asked Luo Fan with a little worry.
"What's the matter? You were the one who decided to let her go alone, and now you regret it?" Luo Fan raised an eyebrow, the corners of his mouth raised lightly, showing his undisguised banter.
"Hey......" Aunt Hui sighed deeply, and then smiled bitterly: "Luo Fan's predecessors don't know, that girl in Allure has been brought up by me since she was a child. I've been treating her as my own for more than ten years, and I can't know her temperament better. Ever since we left the palace that day, this girl has been looking like she has been in a state of desperation, and if she hadn't been given her wish, I fear she would have done something out of the ordinary. ”
"Hahahaha......" Luo Fan suddenly burst out laughing, laughing so much that Aunt Hui was confused.
"Senior Luo Fan, what are you laughing at?" Aunt Hui was a little furious by his laughter, and couldn't help but ask.
"How old is Xiao Si Ming this year?" Luo Fan laughed, but suddenly asked a question that was not related to what he had talked about before.
Aunt Hui was slightly stunned, although she didn't know what to do, she still replied truthfully: "Three hundred and sixty-eight years old." ”
"Have you ever been married?" Luo Fan raised his eyebrows, pondered for a moment, and then asked.
"No, I didn't. Aunt Hui shook her head gently.
"Have you ever had a crush?" Luo Fan asked again.
"No, I didn't. Aunt Hui still shook her head.
"Hey......" Luo Fan sighed, staring at Aunt Hui's face with sympathetic eyes, until she looked at Aunt Hui a little uncomfortable, and then said leisurely: "It stands to reason that you are not too young, and your appearance is not bad, why do you know nothing about this relationship between men and women?"
Aunt Hui looked embarrassed when she heard this, and replied with some resentment: "The younger generation has been learning medical skills with the great doctor of the clan since he was a child, and he is determined to cure diseases and save people, how can he have the spare time to fall in love with a man." ”
"No wonder, no wonder......" Luo Fan put his hand behind him, paced slowly a few steps, shook his head and sighed.
"What's the wonder?" asked Aunt Hui with a puzzled expression.
"No wonder you let that little girl go out alone. Luo Fan turned his head and glanced at Aunt Hui angrily.
"What does it have to do with letting her go out alone and whether I get married or not?" Aunt Hui was really confused.
Luo Fan pouted helplessly: "You should know who Allure likes." ”
"Naturally, it's that Gu Wunian. At the mention of this name, Aunt Hui's heart was quite conflicted.
"Since you are wary of him in your heart, but you let Allure look for him, you must not only understand that you can't control that girl's heart, but also have a little heart to explore the identity of Gu Wunian. It's just that if you do this, don't you worry that such a beautiful yellow flower girl is a sheep in the mouth of a tiger?" Luo Fan teased with a light smile.
"I believe that Allure is a woman who understands measure. Aunt Hui's face froze, but she said very firmly and confidently.
"If you don't say that you haven't experienced the love affair between men and women! Now it's our little Allure who took the initiative to send it to the door, but the other party used a little trickery, how could the little lamb who had fallen in love be the opponent of the deep-minded Gu Wunian. Luo Fan said with a serious face.
"Won't you...... Although I don't like that kid, I can also see that he should not be a disciple who does not know how to be polite and honest. Hui Gu shook her head and denied Luo Fan's statement.
"If you are a disciple, even if you are not the opponent of the other party, you must have a way to notify us when you encounter a crisis. I'm afraid that the other party has ulterior motives, so that the girl will fall into the mud step by step, and willingly ...... with him" Luo Fan deliberately lengthened his tone and looked at Aunt Hui with a serious matter.
After hearing these words, Aunt Hui's face suddenly became ugly. The reason why she agreed to let Hua Chengcheng go out alone was not only because she knew that it was unrealistic to keep that girl by her side, but also because she had a little heart to figure out who Gu Wunian was.
But now Luo Fan said her biggest worry, if the painting is hurt because of this, what should it be.
"No, I'll go and bring the painting back!" "The more Hui Gu thought about it, the more frightened she became, so she prepared to leave the Luo Sect to find the painting back in the city.
"Come on, what's the use of being anxious now!" Luo Fan stopped Aunt Hui's footsteps with words, and said helplessly: "Although I also have some doubts about that Gu Wunian, but for some reason, he gives me a feeling that I can be trusted, at least he shouldn't do anything to hurt Allure." As for how the two of them will develop in the future, it is also their own creation. ”
