If the other party really killed so many people in a row because of some related incidents of Luo Yihan, then could it be this or these people who designed to frame Lin Yunyin back then?

Zhen Bei saw what Nangong He was thinking, and nodded: "It's not that there is no such possibility!" However, what is certain is that the incident two years ago is obviously different from the murders in front of us! ”

When Lin Yunyin died, the relics in the house were not stolen, and in the recent case, the valuables of the deceased were all taken away, and the other party was obviously looking for something!

After two years, whether Lin Yunyin's death is really related to these cases remains to be further confirmed, however, no matter what, if there is a trace of possibility, Zhenbei does not want to let it go.

Because of Qin Wuchen's maneuvering, Zhenbei and her master took leave, and it didn't take much effort

On the day of departure, before it was full of light, Zhenbei carried a burden full of a change of clothes, said goodbye to peony, and came to the gate of the college.

A carriage had already stopped at the door, and Zhenbei lifted the curtain and climbed in.

"Why are you there?" Seeing the scene in the car, Zhen Bei was surprised.

Nangong He snorted coldly: "Why, can't this king go together?" ”

Zhen Bei half-jokingly said, "I didn't say that either. It's just that if the murderer hears that His Royal Highness Nine is coming, he is so frightened that he hides, how can we set up a bureau to invite you into the urn? ”

Her words are not necessarily a joke, Nangong He's martial arts are difficult to find opponents in the world, this is already a well-known thing in the world.

Once the murderer learned that Nangong He was personally in charge and decided to stop for the time being, then they went to Baihualou this time, even if they ran in vain!

Qin Wuchen glanced at the two of them, and said with a smile for Nangong He: "Brother Gu, don't worry. His Royal Highness the Ninth went this time, as a guard, and would not alarm the other party! ”

Zhenbei looked at someone who was leaning on the wall of the carriage at will, still unable to cover her temperament, and pouted, how could there be such a subordinate in this world?

Besides, this person's appearance is too eye-catching!

After thinking about it, Zhenbei took out a wooden box from her baggage, and took out a crumpled thing from it: "Come, bring this." I bought this a few days ago for ten taels of silver, and after I bring it, my father will not recognize you!" ”

As she spoke, she leaned over to him and pressed it against his face.

Nangong He's face was full of resistance, and he was just about to raise his hand to refuse, when a faint fragrance came from Zhen Bei's body.

Her fingertips were soft and smooth, slightly cool, and inadvertently touched his cheek, arousing a string of numb shocks.

Nangong He's body stiffened and sat there obediently, letting her toss in her face.

On the side, Qin Wuchen was dumbfounded, looking at the almost strange scene in front of him.

Finally, the face was obediently glued to Nangong He's face, Zhen Bei looked at it with satisfaction, this middle-aged man with a sallow face and pockmarks, and said with a smile: "This is more like a guard!" ”

Nangong He took the bronze mirror handed over by Qin Wuchen, and took a look, he felt a little loveless, and the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably, whether he had torn off this skin.

It takes about five days to drive a horse-drawn carriage from Fengyang City to Chengyang City.

Four days have passed since the last crime, in order to rush to Baihualou to prepare for the layout before the murderer commits the next crime, they did not take the official road, but planned to take a shortcut and directly climb over the mountain between the two cities, which can save nearly half of the journey.

Before twilight fell, they were lucky enough to discover a small village hidden halfway up the mountain.

There are about a dozen families living in the village, most of whom are hunters who make a living.

Zhenbei knocked on the door of the house at the head of the village, and after a long time, an old woman's voice came from the other side of the door: "Who?" ”

"Mother-in-law, we are passers-by passing through here, it is getting late, can you let me wait for the night?" Zhenbei said as slowly as she could.

The door opened a crack, and the people inside did not answer immediately, but cautiously observed the visitors from the other side of the door.

"Mother-in-law, let them in! It's already dark, if you're being targeted by that thing...... Don't you often say that saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter? A childish boy said eloquently.

Maybe it was because they found that Zhenbei didn't look like a wicked person, or maybe they were persuaded by the child, and the door creaked open.

An old woman with white hair and a girl about six or seven years old, with double buns on her head, appeared in front of Zhenbei and the others.

The mother-in-law and the girl were both thin-faced, dressed in coarse cloth clothes, and must have lived in great poverty.

Zhenbei looked around quietly, but found that although the yard was small, it was very neatly tied.

A large pile of firewood is neatly placed against the south wall, and next to the west wall is a chicken shed made of wood, in which two chickens, a male and a female, sleep.

At the same time, the mother-in-law had already looked at them, and saw that they were all gorgeously dressed and imposing, and vaguely guessed that the other party should be the descendants of a large family.

She said lightly, "Please come in!" The house is dirty, don't dislike it! Oh, go clean up your dad and your mom's house, and let the guests rest their feet! ”

The girl was looking at the visitor with her big shining eyes, without the slightest timidity or restraint of the children of the mountains, and when she heard her mother-in-law's words, she answered cheerfully and walked towards the house to the west.

The mother-in-law asked them to lead the horses to the plane tree in the courtyard, carefully bolted the door, and led the men to the east side of the house.

The house is very clean, and the furnishings inside are very simple, with a pot and a stove and an earthen kang against the north wall.

There is a wooden table and several futons in front of the kang kang, and behind the door there is a large tank for storing water and a wooden rack for placing dishes and chopsticks.

Zhenbei brought enough dry food and meat with them, and asked her mother-in-law to help them cook warm.

Unexpectedly, when Zhenbei invited her mother-in-law and the girl named Nuo'er to enjoy together, Nangong He, who was known for her pickiness and arrogance, did not refuse.

Xu saw that Zhenbei and them were kind to others, not as arrogant as other noble sons, and her mother-in-law and Nan'er gradually relaxed and chatted with them.

It turned out that in the past few days, there were relatives who were handling happy events, and the father and mother of the child went to the bottom of the mountain to help, and only the two grandparents and grandchildren were left in the family.

"I can't complain that the sky is still light, so you close the gate, there should be wild beasts in the mountains at night, it is best to be careful!" Qin Wuchen said.

"Not really! Although the mountain is large, there are no tigers, bears and other beasts, and we occasionally meet a few jackals, and we don't pay attention to them, just because of that—" She was talking energetically, but her mother-in-law interrupted her conversation.

"Oh, don't talk nonsense! Go and see if the water is already boiling? Make a pot of camellia for your guests to drink! ”

Nuer stuck out her tongue at Zhenbei and did as she could.

The three of Zhen Bei secretly exchanged glances, and they were all a little puzzled in their hearts.

It's just that since the master is evasive about it, they can't take the liberty of asking questions.

After drinking some tea, the groom spread some hay in front of the stove, and Zhenbei and they were led to the west wing.

Although the bedding on the couch has faded, it is very clean.

Two futons were also laid on the straw mats on the ground.

"Brother Gu, these bedding and sheets were just washed by me a few days ago, and they are very clean!" Er said proudly.

"Thank you!" Zhenbei stroked her fluffy little head and said.

"Please rest early, and let's go back to sleep!" The mother-in-law led her back to the east wing.

There were only three people left in the room: Zhenbei, Nangong He and Qin Wuchen.

Qin Wuchen glanced at the couch, took the lead in sitting on the straw mat, and smiled at Zhen Bei: "Brother Gu, the two of us will sleep here tonight!" ”

Zhen Bei smiled: "Okay." ”

saw Nangong He walk straight to another straw mat and sit cross-legged.

Zhen Bei and Qin Wuchen looked at him in surprise, and the two looked at each other.

After a while, Qin Wuchen pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, and pointed to the couch: "Since that's the case, Brother Gu will sleep there!" ”

Zhen Bei was lying on the couch, staring at the black hole roof with her eyes open, thinking that she would soon be able to see the Baihualou that her mother had mentioned countless times when she was a child, and stepping on the place where her mother had stayed for more than ten years, her mood was surging and it was difficult to sleep.

She had countless times in her previous life and wanted to go to see the place where her mother grew up, but when she mentioned this to Su Shitao, she was scolded by him!

Yes, how can an official family descend from the eldest lady, the future Mrs. Su, go to that kind of fireworks place? She could only dismiss the thought.

The sound of Qin Wuchen's even breathing came from the darkness, and after Nangong He's strength was deep, his breath was inaudible, and he didn't know if he had fallen asleep.

Suddenly, there was some small sound in the yard, and the handsome horse tied to the tree slashed the ground a few times, and then there was a muffled sound, as if something had fallen to the ground, and a few chirps and hums followed.

Zhenbei hurriedly sat up, she lay on the window next to the couch, looking out through the gap in the window.

In the hazy moonlight, a black shadow flashed in front of the window, and "he" looked around, limping towards the chicken shed.

The chicken was frightened and let out a few low "clucking" warning sounds, and the black shadow was about to pounce on the chicken coop when a sharp child's voice came from the side room.

"Don't touch my chickens!"

With this roar, the door of the east wing was slammed open.

A dwarf shadow rushed out.

"Come back!" The mother-in-law's panicked voice rang out.

The black shadow was frightened by the sudden situation, and then came back to its senses and stretched out its long claws, rushing towards the minor.

"Be careful!" Zhen Bei hurriedly exclaimed, this series of things happened in the blink of an eye, and it was too late for her to save people at this time.

She went out hunting with her father since she was a child, and she was much more courageous than ordinary children, and she saw that the flower chicken couple who were playmates were about to die in the mouth of that thing, and she didn't want to come out to save them.

I never thought that the black thing in front of me, its speed, strength and vigor were obviously not comparable to the fox rabbit in the mountains!

Before she could react, the sharp claws of the thing had already struck her throat, and the long, pointed nails in the moonlight shone sharply and sharply, and in her constricted pupils, infinitely dilated!
