Chapter 404: The Beginning

The third son rubbed his swollen and sore head.

"Decanting soup." At this time, a bowl of warm decoction was handed over.

Xiao Shulun took it in a daze, thinking that the little guy in the General's Mansion was there, until he saw the slender hands handing the medicine.

"Jingchuan?" The third son blinked.

"What's wrong?" Gao Jingchuan asked.

"Why are you here?"

"You're drunk." Gao Jingchuan said.

"You've been guarding me, huh?"

Lord Shen nodded.

The third son scratched the back of his head, quite embarrassed: "I didn't lose my temper after drinking, right?" ”

"It's fine." Gao Jingchuan said.

"What do you mean it's okay?" The third son couldn't cry or laugh.

"No gaffes." Gao Jingchuan said.

Xiao Shulun breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good." ”

Gao Jingchuan hung his head.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Shulun asked.

"Just now, I saw Miss Zhao." Gao Jingchuan paused and said, "She knows that you are going to Langzhou." ”

"I told my brother...... My brother probably told my mother. ”

"Miss Zhao said that I want to go to Langzhou with you."

"Together?" Xiao Shulun's head shook like a rattle, "What is the matter with her!" ”

Gao Jingchuan looked at Xiao Shulun: "There are some things, it's better to explain them clearly." ”

The third prince was wronged: "I have made it clear to him, but she just doesn't listen." ”

"I look at her, she's very determined." Gao Jingchuan said, "On the trip to Langzhou, I think she will definitely go." ”

Xiao Shulun rubbed his head, his already hungover head hurt even more now.

"Why don't I ask Miss Shen for help?" Xiao Shulun looked at Gao Jingchuan tentatively.

"Looking for Miss Shen?"

"Hmm." Xiao Shulun said, "Tell Zhao Qingyi that I like Miss Shen and make her die." ”

Gao Jingchuan: "In that case, wouldn't it affect Miss Shen?" ”

"That's right......" Xiao Shulun scratched his head, "It's good to attract a love rival for Miss Shen for no reason, I'm sorry for her ......"

Gao Jingchuan sighed.

"Then what do you say?" Xiao Shulun said, "I know that this Zhao girl is so persevering." ”

"Let's go first." Gao Jingchuan said.

"Go first?"

"Yes, talk to the shadow guard, go first." Gao Jingchuan said.

"What do you mean...... Leave Miss Zhao behind? Xiao Shulun nodded and said, "Her physical strength is limited, it is impossible to rush overnight, and when she arrives in Langzhou, we will probably have solved the case, and when the time comes, we will come back quickly!" I just missed it with her. ”

Gao Jingchuan nodded.

"Before waiting for Langzhou this time, Miss Zhao has suffered enough, maybe she won't chase me anymore." Xiao Shulun clapped his hands and was empowered, "That's it!" ”

"Let's go!" The third prince said and stood up.

Gao Jingchuan sighed softly: "Drink the decanting soup first and rest for a while." ”

"Where's the Shadow Guard?"

"I'll go and say it." Gao Jingchuan said.

"Okay." Xiao Shulun said, "When you finish talking to the third year of junior high school, we will set off." ”

"Hmm."

…………

Gao Jingchuan and Xiao Shulun left Luojing in the middle of the night.

When Miss Zhao's carriage arrived at the gate of Dali Temple early in the morning, she was told by the yacha that Lord Shaoqing and Lord Xiao had left.

"How long?" Zhao Qingyi hurriedly asked.

"It's been almost two hours." Yacha said.

"Let's chase after it!" Zhao Qingyi got into the carriage and hurriedly said to the coachman.

"Miss Zhao, are you going to chase Lord Xiao?" Yacha looked at Zhao Qingyi's carriage, shook his head, and said, "Lord Xiao is riding a fast horse, you can't catch up." ”

Zhao Qingyi clenched the handkerchief in his hand: "If you don't try it, how do you know?" ”

"It's a vain try." "No matter how fast the carriage is, it can't be faster than a thousand miles, right?" I forgot to say, our Lord Xiao and Shaoqing are all first-class good horses. ”

Zhao Qingyi tightened his lower lip.

"Miss Zhao, I didn't say it, Langzhou is far away, and the road is difficult to walk, so you better go home."

"I don't." Zhao Qingyi didn't think about it and refused directly.

"Let's go." She said to the groom, "If you don't give it a try, how do you know?" ”

Yacha looked at Zhao Qingyi's carriage, sighed long, shook his head, and said, "Lord Shaoqing, I can only help here...... Miss Zhao, this is iron-hearted. ”

…………

…………

At this time, Gao Jingchuan and Xiao Shulun had already walked out of Luojing.

"Another road, will it pass through Yecheng?" Xiao Shulun asked Gao Jingchuan beside him.

The two of them were on horses, and the conversation was mixed with the wind.

"Yes." Gao Jingchuan said.

"But it's a long way, isn't it?"

Shaoqing said succinctly: "Yes." ”

"When we go, we won't be in Yecheng, but when we come back, let's go from Yecheng. My little cousin's hometown is Yecheng. Xiao Shulun said, "When we came back, we played in Yecheng for a few days. I want to see my little cousin's old house. ”

"Okay." Gao Jingchuan bowed.

The horses are gone.

The two did not delay for a moment, hurried up, and rushed overnight, and soon arrived at the boundary of Langzhou.

…………

…………

After several days of continuous travel, both of them saw blue and black now.

"Let's find an inn to rest tonight." Lu Chujian looked at the darkening sky and said, "We will set off tomorrow morning, and we will be able to reach Langzhou in half a day." ”

"Listen to you." Xiao Shulun said, "Before entering Langzhou, we really need to recuperate and recuperate. ”

The two of them said as they walked into a small town.

The town is under the jurisdiction of Langzhou, but it is still some distance from Langzhou.

"Guest officer, please inside! Inside please! When the shopkeeper saw the customer coming to the door, he greeted him with a smile inside.

"I want two good guest rooms." Xiao Shulun said, handing the reins in his hand to the shopkeeper, "By the way, feed the horses and ask for the best concentrate feed." ”

"No problem, no problem." The shopkeeper smiled and invited the two into the inn.

"Guest, what do you want to eat? Is it eaten here, or in the room? ”

"Bring it to the room." Xiao Shulun pointed at Gao Jingchuan and said, "Take it to his room." ”

"Okay, okay!"

…………

…………

Xiao Shulun and Gao Jingchuan walked into the guest room.

"It's pretty clean." Xiao Shulun looked around, touched the tabletop, and said to Gao Jingchuan, "Tonight, you can rest well." ”

Gao Jingchuan looked at his dark circles and smiled: "You too." ”

In the past few days, I have been sleeping in the open air, but the third son of the General's Mansion has suffered.

Gao Jingchuan is different, he has been an official in Dali Temple, this kind of overnight rush is commonplace, but in the final analysis, the third prince has seen little.

Xiao Shulun didn't care, waved his hand, and said, "When I moved the rescue soldiers before, I was much more tired than this. ”

At that time, I was in a hurry all night and all night, and I didn't feel anything.

Gao Jingchuan opened his mouth, wanted to say something, and finally sighed: "I'm sorry for you." ”

"What do you say?" Xiao Shulun said, "Don't treat me as a delicate and delicate son, okay?" If you count it like this, you are still a precious Shen prince. ”

Gao Jingchuan was amused by him.

At this time, it happened that the shopkeeper cut off the meal.

"Guest officer, you use it slowly." The shopkeeper put the dishes on the table and got up to say goodbye.

"Wait a minute." Gao Jingchuan called out to him.

Then Xiao Shulun understood, and took out a piece of broken silver from his cuff.

"What are you doing here, officer?" The shopkeeper's eyes were fixed on the broken silver, and his eyes were glued to it.

"A few questions for you." Gao Jingchuan said.

Xiao Shulun smiled and put the silver in front of the shopkeeper.

"Guest officer, you are really polite, you ask, you ask, as long as I know, I will tell you."

"Langzhou, are you familiar with it?" Gao Jingchuan asked,

"Langzhou, ah......" said the shopkeeper, "our boss sometimes goes to Langzhou to buy some spices for the kitchen, and I have followed him." ”

"Then have you ever been in Langzhou, have you heard of the former dynasty altar?"

"The abandoned altar of the previous dynasty?" The shopkeeper blinked, grabbed the back of his head and tried to think about it.

"I seem to have heard of it, but not in Langzhou, but in our inn."

"Oh?" Gao Jingchuan looked at him and encouraged him to continue.

The shopkeeper looked at the silver that was close at hand, racking his brains and trying to remember.

"Yes, just last month, it's been about ten days now...... shopkeeper said, "A few dart masters came to our inn, and then I listened to what they said." At that time, I was far away, and when I got closer, they didn't talk about it. ”

"Where are they?"

Ma once said that she was adopted by the dart board.

That dart game has a close relationship with the cult altar.

"I don't know exactly where it is." Dian Xiaoer said, "But they must be from Langzhou, and the accent can't be wrong." ”

Gao Jingchuan nodded slightly.

"Anything else? It is related to the Langzhou dart master, or the news of the former dynasty. ”

"I'll think about it......" The shopkeeper's eyes kept looking at the piece of silver on the table.

However, after thinking about it for a long time, he was so anxious that his face turned red, and he couldn't think of anything.

"If you can't think of it, forget it." Xiao Shulun handed over the silver.

"Give it to me?" The shopkeeper was a little surprised.

He thought that he could not imagine that the guest would not give him the silver.

"Let's go, then." Xiao Shulun said.

"Thank you, officer! Thank you, guest! The shopkeeper happily accepted the money and hurriedly retreated.

Walking to the door, he stopped.

"Guest officer, I think of one more thing, it has nothing to do with the dart master, and it has nothing to do with the teaching world...... shopkeeper said.

Gao Jingchuan looked at him.

"Earlier, someone asked me about Langzhou. The man was also extremely generous, he didn't ask me what the altar was, he just asked me if I knew those strange things in Langzhou. That person is ...... with this guest officer" The shopkeeper pointed at Xiao Shulun and said, "That person laughs like the guest officer, you are very similar." ”

"Laughing, similar to me?" Xiao Shulun pointed to his nose.

"Yes." The shopkeeper said, "Especially the action of giving money, it's too similar." ”

Third Son: "......"

"He asked you about Langzhou, how did you answer?"

"After all, we are a little far away from Langzhou, and I don't know much about anything." "However, there is one thing in Langzhou that is very famous and the most eccentric. ”

Gao Jingchuan asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Basically, the things in Langzhou can be spread here, and it must not be a trivial matter.

"It is said that there is a businessman surnamed Jia, a family of thirty-seven, who disappeared overnight."

"Overnight?" Xiao Shulun asked.

The shopkeeper nodded: "Yes, the night of the disappearance, it was still the birthday of the merchant master, many people went to eat the flowing water banquet, and after everyone went home, the next day, the people of the Jia family were gone." ”

"So bizarre?" Xiao Shulun didn't believe it very much, and felt that the exaggerated colors were heavier.

"It's so bizarre! At that time, the government also searched up and down, and there was no one alive or dead! Later, the Jia family became a ghost house, and no one dared to approach it at will. ”

After listening to this, Gao Jingchuan asked the shopkeeper again: "That person, what is your reaction after listening to you tell this story?" ”

"Him?" The shopkeeper thought for a while and said, "He smiled, as if he said something interesting?" and so on, and then gave me a piece of broken silver. ”

Xiao Shulun and Gao Jingchuan glanced at each other, and felt that this guest was not simple.

"Guest officer, then I'm leaving." The shopkeeper didn't have anything to do with himself here, and with the silver in his hand, he left Lezizi.

…………

…………

Xiao Shulun and Gao Jingchuan rested at the inn for a night, and the next day, the two recuperated and rushed to Langzhou together.

"Where do we go first?" Xiao Shulun was riding on the horse, although he asked so on his lips, he obviously had an answer in his eyes.

"Haunted House." Gao Jingchuan said.

The third prince smiled: "It's exactly what I want!" ”

The two clamped the horse's belly, cut off the dust all the way, and at noon, rushed to the outside of Langzhou City.

Walking into Langzhou, Xiao Shulun and Gao Jingchuan stopped an ordinary passer-by and asked directly: "Excuse me, where is the Jia family?" ”

"You, what do you ask that ghost house to do?" Passers-by were taken aback.

"We're writing books." Xiao Shulun said from the goodness, "I am collecting folk ghost stories. ”

The passers-by didn't understand what it meant to collect stories.

"You're the son of a rich family, aren't you?" Passers-by looked them up and down.

Although the two of them were dressed very civilianly, they couldn't hide their momentum.

"Do you know where the Jia family is?" Xiao Shulun asked again.

Passers-by pointed to the east: "It's in the east of the city." The east of the city is the one. ”

"Thank you."

Xiao Shulun and Gao Jingchuan led the horses and walked to the east of the city.

According to what the passer-by said, the two walked to the east of the city, continued to walk forward, and sure enough, they saw the Jia family.

The surrounding houses are lined up, only the Jia family is alone there, and there is not a single family around, like an island isolated by the sea.

"This Jia family is not very simple."

Xiao Shulun looked at the rusty iron gate of the Jia family not far away.

; "Hmm." Gao Jingchuan nodded, staring at the house closest to the Jia family.

Xingyuan Dart Bureau.

Ma was adopted by this dart game.

Now this dart game is next to Jia's house, and it doesn't look like a coincidence.

"What's next?" Xiao Shulun looked at Gao Jingchuan.

Gao Jingchuan said: "According to the itinerary, they will go to Langzhou tonight in the third year of junior high school, let's investigate the situation first." ”
