CHAPTER XXIV
Three days had passed since the chaos of the state banquet on that day and when they set out on their way to the tomb.
Su Chun and Li Bingwen sat in the same sedan chair, the sedan curtain swayed, revealing the brilliant spring colors along the way from time to time.
Su Chun glanced at Li Bingwen, who was calmly flipping through the book, and suddenly pulled his sleeve,
"So what the hell happened to Shangling? I said in the palace that the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics, so I didn't ask, but I forgot about it along the way...... Looking at the harmony outside, I remembered - what is going on here? ”
Li Bingwen closed the book and pondered for a moment
"It is said that there are frequent visions, such as the ants on the wall expelling the evil dragon totem, the fish in the lake circling into a whirlpool and disrupting the waterway, etc., it is bizarre, but the most important thing is that the young and middle-aged people in Shangling frequently disappear, originally only one or two, but then three or four, and then more and more recently, which made Shangling people panic."
Su Chun touched his chin and thought for a moment, afraid that General Lin, who was driving outside the sedan car, would hear it, so he simply leaned into Li Bingwen's ear and lowered his voice,
"It could be a spirit, or someone might be doing it."
Between the lips, the warm breath swirled into Li Bingwen's ears, his body moved slightly, and he didn't seem to be very adaptable, Su Chun didn't care about this, and after a while, Li Bingwen nodded with a red ear
"You're right, but if it's a spirit, I'm no match for it, are you sure?"
Su Chun snorted and raised his neck
"Of course! Put your heart in your belly! But ......"
Su Chun was stunned, she couldn't say that she felt that the Queen Mother had a purpose in sending him, so she had to be euphemistic
"I always think that this thing is probably a ghost pretending to be a god."
Li Bingwen was noncommittal.
A low "arrived" from outside the sedan interrupted the communication between them, and the sedan curtain was opened by General Lin.
Chunguang traced his sword eyebrows, sword sideburns, eagle eyes and nose, as if he had made a painting with vibrant ink that did not lose the beautiful spring scenery on his side.
Li Bingwen took Su Chun out of the sedan chair, and Honeysuckle and Que Mei immediately followed behind Su Chun.
In front of them was an ordinary-looking house with no grand decoration. On the plaque at the door of the house, there are two big characters that do not match it-"Bai Family"
"This is the mansion of the assassin here?" Su Chun asked Li Bingwen, "It looks like a frugal Qing official." ”
Li Bingwen hummed and nodded, but did not open his mouth to agree.
"However, you came out of the White Arowana suit this time, can you get in?"
Su Chun looked at the frugal but strict guard, and opened his mouth a little uneasily
Li Bingwen couldn't help but smile after hearing this
"How could it not, although others don't know, but Bai Thorn himself should always know."
As he spoke, he had already taken a step, and walked slowly to the door, asking the guard
"You have worked hard, I don't know if Bai Thorn Shi has told you, I am the son of the Xu family who was invited to come, and he asked me to come over to help about the vision."
The guard looked at him and shook his head
"I'm sorry, Bai Thorn Shi hasn't been home recently, I think it's because the affairs in the mansion haven't been finished yet, you want to find him, why don't you go to the mansion to have a look?"
Li Bingwen did not leave in a hurry, but chatted curiously
"Huh? Although I heard that Bai Thorn Shi was diligent, why was he so tired that he refused to go home? There have been more disappearances in recent days? ”
The guard sighed
"Isn't it? Isn't this a few lost, who doesn't worry! The assassin is even worse, he has been treating the people like a son, and if there is such a big mess, he is about to be born in the palace, if it weren't for the state banquet in the palace a few days ago, he felt that he could save a cumbersome set and report the matter directly, otherwise he would definitely stay there. ”
Li Bingwen nodded approvingly.
Thinking that this is true, at that time, Bai Thorn Shi learned that he had solved it himself, and he didn't even have time to express his surprise, so he immediately rushed back in a hurry, and it seemed that he was very sincere.
Li Bingwen smiled and thanked him, then turned around and walked to the government office in the distance.
Su Chun was with him, Honeysuckle Bird Plum followed behind her, and General Lin stayed at the end, as if he was looking at the protection of the whole situation, and it seemed that he was watching every step of the way.
Honeysuckle was very uncomfortable, and couldn't help but look back after walking a few steps, Honeysuckle's eyes were already fierce, so one side of his eyes seemed to be glaring at him fiercely, General Lin's eyebrows frowned slightly, but fortunately, Que Mei smiled apologetically and immediately pulled Honeysuckle back, she whispered
"Be careful! That's a hussar general! Frontier Yama! I heard that he was only sixteen years old when he first entered the battlefield, but he beheaded two masters of the enemy in a row."
Qimei still didn't seem to be at ease, and lowered her voice lower and softer, for fear that he would hear it
"You accidentally offended him, and you don't know how he beheaded him!"
Honeysuckle was confused, but subconsciously touched his neck, oh oh twice.
After walking for a while, Su Chun and Li Bingwen finally came to the door of the mansion, and they informed the official messenger of their intentions, and the official messenger bowed his head, and after a while, he invited Bai Thorn Shi out.
It was a man who was not confused about his age, wearing an official uniform, with slightly yellow sideburns, and a tough face with more or less years of carving, compared to the simple and delicate combination of facial features, there was a mature feeling that had gone through the vicissitudes of time, and it looked serious.
When he saw Li Bingwen, he subconsciously wanted to salute, but Li Bingwen grabbed his hand first and bowed.
"I've seen the history of white thorns, and Xu was invited to come."
Bai Thorn Shi was stunned, immediately understood what he meant, and immediately followed his words
"That's good, it's hard to run around on the road, and into the backyard, rest and listen to the ins and outs of what I say, so that you can understand something."
Li Bingwen bowed his head, and Bai Thorn Shi took the lead to lead them, and rushed into the official mansion in great strides.
