Chapter 160: The Journey Is Blocked
The Gyeongju Lyu murder case was hastily closed because the suspect Li Xun had died. Huji was also acquitted.
Although Luo Feng felt that the case was not as simple as it appeared, Li Xun was dead, and it would be difficult to investigate it thoroughly. He was also in a hurry to return to Beijing to assist Lord Mu, so they continued to rush to the capital after bidding farewell to Bai Xianling.
It's not peaceful in the capital these days. In autumn, the wind is strong, and the east and west markets are on fire one after another. Although the fire was not large, only a few shops were burned, but the people were panicked, but fortunately there were no casualties.
Luo Feng and the others arrived at the boundary of Jingzhou. An Shouqin wants to invite everyone to the restaurant for dinner. Luo Feng regretted a little that he agreed to go with him. With such a walk, I don't know when I will be able to reach the capital.
Gu Xiaodong and the others were very happy. An Shouqin's chosen places to eat are all luxury restaurants. The food is superb, and the wine is excellent.
Only Luo Feng was sad and ate silently. An Shouqin persuaded Luo Feng for some reason, saying that the case had been handled so far, and it was the best ending.
Luo Feng only nodded with a wry smile. He was worried about the safety of Master Mu and the capital, but it was inconvenient for him to say it and ruin everyone's interest.
Luo Feng urged everyone to hurry after the meal. An Shouqin said that it was getting late, so it was better to stay in Jingzhou for a night and get up early tomorrow to hurry.
Luo Feng saw that everyone agreed with An Shouqin's idea, so he stopped making a sound.
Qi Yan saw Luo Feng sullen in the guest room, so she asked him what the reason was. Luo Feng said nothing? I just want to return to Beijing as soon as possible.
At night, Luo Feng slept very unsteadily. In his sleep, he dreamed that Master Mu was killed by Han Zixin. When he woke up, he broke out in a cold sweat.
Qi Yan wiped the sweat on Luo Feng's face, and poured him a glass of water on the ground.
After Luo Feng drank the water, he said apologetically to Qi Yan, "I'm sorry that you can't sleep well!" ”
"Don't think about it so much, okay?" Qi Yan lay in Luo Feng's arms and said quietly.
"Good! Go to sleep! Luo Feng hugged Qi Yan and closed his eyelids, but how could he sleep?
After getting up early in the morning, Luo Feng felt dizzy and uncomfortable.
Gu Xiaodong and the others rode on the horse with full spirit. However, the day was very gloomy, and the cloud corners were very low.
"Looks like it's going to rain!" An Shouqin got off the horse and went to buy clothes and hats to distribute to everyone.
Luo Feng and others galloped on horseback on the official road. Dark clouds gathered in the sky, a violent wind rose, and then raindrops the size of beans crackled and fell. Luo Feng and the others hurriedly put on their robes and hats.
After a flash of lightning and thunder, a heavy rain poured down. Everyone came to a small town in the rain.
When they saw a tea shed on the side of the road, they went over and tied their horses, then took off their coats and sat down in the tea shed and asked for a pot of hot tea to drink.
"What the hell!" An Shouqin felt very uncomfortable getting wet all over.
After Luo Feng drank two cups of hot tea, his sleepiness came up. He rested with his chin and eyes closed.
Qi Yan took out a cloak from the package she was carrying and draped it on Luo Feng's body.
"Sister-in-law! I'm cold too! Gu Xiaodong deliberately rubbed his hands.
"Drink hot tea!" Qi Yan poured Gu Xiaodong another cup of tea and put it in front of him.
"The rain won't stop for a while. Boss! Where is the nearest inn? An Shouqin felt that this body was becoming more and more uncomfortable, when had he ever suffered such a thing as before?
"There's a Fulai Inn not far ahead!" The owner of the tea shop walked over and pointed to the red building on the second floor that could be faintly seen in the rain.
Qi Yan woke up Luo Feng with a shout, and then followed An Shouqin to ride a horse and rush to the front of the Red Mansion.
After everyone entered the inn, An Shouqin instructed the store to boil water for a bath.
Luo Feng took a hot bath, and his body gradually warmed up. When he came downstairs in clean clothes, Gu Xiaodong was sitting at the dining table and tapping the dishes with chopsticks.
"We can't make it!" Gu Xiaodong saw Luo Feng coming over.
"Why?" Luo Feng lifted his robe and sat opposite Gu Xiaodong and looked at him.
"They said that the official road ahead was blocked by falling rocks and trees!" Gu Xiaodong put down his chopsticks and poured a cup of tea for Luo Feng.
At this time, the guy came over and asked Luo Feng what kind of food he needed? Luo Feng asked him if such a thing had ever happened in the official road of Jingzhou?
The fellow shook his head and said, "Never!" ”
Luo Feng was silent when he heard this. He suspected that someone had done it on purpose from the beginning of the unusual Gyeongju murder. Now the official road in Jingzhou has been suddenly blocked, which makes Luo Feng even more convinced that it is caused by man. But he never said anything without evidence, so Gu Xiaodong saw that Luo Feng was just frowning and not speaking, so he couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean by asking?" ”
Luo Feng ignored Gu Xiaodong, and just ordered some wine and food. Qi Yan changed into a blue dress and walked over with a fuchsia jacket.
"Sister-in-law is so beautiful!" Gu Xiaodong praised sincerely.
"When did you learn to say something like that?" Luo Feng saw that Qi Yan blushed a little, so he pulled her to sit beside him.
"People have to grow up, right?" Gu Xiaodong poured Qi Yan a cup of tea, and then grinned at Luo Feng.
"Why don't you marry that beautiful Qingxue!" Luo Feng teased Gu Xiaodong with his words.
"Can't marry! You'd better spare me! Gu Xiaodong's head shook like a rattle.
"You're washing fast!" Before the people on duty arrived, the voice came first. When Luo Feng and the three of them looked, he was dressed in a gorgeous costume and walked over with Nie Yang. The cat was the last to come down from the upstairs room.
The meal is ready. Luo Feng asked the guy if he had heard any news in the capital recently.
The guy quietly told Luo Feng that some things happened in the capital one after another, and everyone said that the prince's auxiliary government was not good?
Luo Feng couldn't even eat anymore when he heard this. An Shouqin said that he would hurry up tomorrow. Gu Xiaodong told An Shouqin about the blocking of the road by mountains and rocks.
"How could it be so coincidental?" An Shouqin's words made everyone silent.
"I suspect someone deliberately created the incident!" Nie Yang said his opinion directly.
"No, it won't! No one should know that we are going to Beijing! Besides, how did they know it was going to rain tonight? Gu Xiaodong didn't believe Nie Yang's words.
"Even if it doesn't rain, the road will be blocked! Maybe it was this rain that saved us from the catastrophe? Luo Feng agreed with Nie Yang's idea.
"When the rain stops, let's go see if it's over!" Gu Xiaodong picked up the wine jug, poured a glass of wine, and drank it.
"You're not going to make a fuss, are you!" An Shouqin didn't believe that the rolling down of the mountain was man-made. Is it so important that Luo Feng and the others can't return to the capital?
"I'm afraid the rain won't stop tonight! Since we can't go to Luzhou, why don't we go to Pizhou? Qi Yan's words made Luo Feng's tightly knit brows stretch.
"Come on! Eat a piece of meat! Luo Feng sandwiched a piece of sauce meat for Qi Yan.
Qi Yan saw Luo Feng pick up the chopsticks, and she smiled knowingly, "You eat more!" ”
This meal, everyone had a great time. Luo Feng's face also showed a smile that he hadn't seen for a long time.
"Is that road in Pizhou necessarily smooth?" Nie Yang silently calculated in his heart.
