Chapter 84: Forced to stay

Even though King Ling was by her side now, she couldn't help but think wildly, always feeling that something was silently peeking at them in some corner of this inn.

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he slowly lay on the table, listening to the sound of King Ling's steady and powerful breathing, before he felt a trace of relief.

Before I knew it, I fell asleep, and I slept soundly, and I didn't wake up until the light was bright.

Both arms were already lying on their stomachs, and their necks were stiff and a little painful.

She bared her teeth and stretched her stiff body, and she didn't see a shadow of it, and suddenly remembered that she was keeping vigil at the moment, but she slept so deadly.

Hurriedly got up to look at King Ling, and saw that the man had already gotten up, not only got up, but was also sitting upright on the edge of the bed reading a book, just facing her direction.

The blue baby subconsciously touched his face, this time it was embarrassing, and I don't know when His Highness woke up, and how long has it been for her?

"Man is wrong......

"Woke up?" Jin Lingluo looked up, his face was as usual, and there was no sign of anger.

Blue Baby didn't know if this was the calm before the storm, so he nodded first.

Jin Lingluo put down the book and walked over, and said, "Go wash first." ”

Blue Baby did as he was told, and quickly ran to the backyard to fetch water, and then saw that Feng Wei was also there.

"You just got up too?" Blue Baby's voice suddenly became a little excited.

It turned out that she didn't get up late alone, and Feng Wei was with her, so it would be good.

Feng Wei seemed to see through her thoughts, and replied with disgust: "I haven't seen anyone do Xia Rao, and he even got up later than the master." ”

This is Chi Guoguo's contempt, Lan Baobao was ashamed and annoyed, and glared at the other party fiercely, "Why are you blocking the well if you have nothing to do, don't block me from fetching water." ”

"Did you bring it up?" Feng Wei looked at her with a smile.

The arrogance on the blue baby's body was immediately extinguished, and she really couldn't lift it.

Feng Wei showed a "I know" expression and took the initiative to help her get a bucket of water.

"Thank you, brother." Baby Blue thanked him gratefully.

Feng Wei waved his hand, "Excuse me, I was talking to the boss just now, and it was a coincidence that I met you." ”

"It's okay, thank you too." Blue baby rinses his mouth and face directly with cool water.

Feng Wei stood next to him and didn't leave, and after the blue baby finished washing, he asked, "What did you talk about with the boss?" ”

Feng Wei motioned for her to walk.

"It's nothing, I just asked about the situation in Zhangcheng."

"How's it going, is there a problem here?" Blue Baby asked.

Feng Wei nodded, the two of them had already arrived in the lobby, and King Ling was sitting at one of the tables waiting for them.

"Madame and Son-in-law also came out." Boss Xing walked out of the counter, and the expression on his face was obviously much more enthusiastic than yesterday.

It seems that after a night's mission, the boss has gradually regained his hospitality for guests.

However, his "madam" directly made the blue baby freeze in place, and Feng Wei pursed his lips and forced a smile to walk to the side silently.

Boss Xing still didn't notice that the atmosphere was wrong, looked at them and asked, "Do you want to have breakfast?" ”

Blue Baby glanced at King Ling quietly, seeing that he was still that cold appearance, and he couldn't be sure if he was angry or not.

"Boss, you misunderstood, in fact, I ......"

As a result, before she finished speaking, King Ling had already gotten up and walked out, Feng Wei hurriedly greeted Lan Baobao, "Let's go, I'm going to talk about business today." ”

Blue Baby could only hold back his words, smiled apologetically at the boss, and went out with him.

It was only at this time that Boss Xing realized that the atmosphere of these three people was not quite right.

The white city finally regained its vitality, and the shops on both sides of the long street opened their doors in twos and threes, although it was not dense, at least it no longer looked like an empty ghost town.

There are also people walking through the market, not much, and you can see up to a dozen people as far as the eye can see.

"Feng, uncle, have you noticed that most of the people in the city are old and weak, women and children, and you rarely see young and strong men." There was a long street, and the blue baby couldn't help but sigh in a low voice.

Feng Wei raised his eyebrows, peeked at King Ling who was walking in front, and took the opportunity to lean into Lan Baobao's ear and teased: "Madame calls me uncle, it's a seniority." ”

Lan Baobao slapped the other party's shoulder in annoyance, gritted his teeth and replied: "Good son, pay attention to your words, your heart will come out of your mouth." ”

Feng Wei suddenly showed a face full of horror.

Blue Baby couldn't help but roll her eyes, this guy is really good at acting.

Jin Lingluo stopped in front of a restaurant, turned his head to look at the two people behind him, and found that they were entangled again, and his eyes became a little dangerous for a while.

"Ahem!"

He coughed lightly, and Feng Wei, who was about to make a few more jokes, took the lead in reacting, distanced himself from the blue baby without a trace, and chased after His Highness in two steps.

Looking up at the restaurant, he said, "Do you want to have breakfast first?" ”

Jin Lingluo didn't say anything, raised his feet and walked inside.

This is the only restaurant they have seen on the main street that is open for business, the scale is not bad, the decoration is passable, the environment is clean and tidy, but there is not even a table of customers in the lobby on the first floor

There seemed to be only one shopkeeper and one guy in the restaurant, and Feng Wei asked them for a private room on the second floor, and ordered food and wine.

Blue Baby was depressed to find that the people in this Zhangcheng had problems with their eyes and brain circuits, and everyone who saw her had to call "madam", didn't they see that she was not combing her hair in a bun.

It's also a little strange, there are obviously two men around her, but everyone naturally sees her and King Ling as a couple, is it a matter of aura? Or are the two of them husband and wife?

Uncle and girl, this is their common love for Zhangcheng Rao.

Lan Baobao was depressed and apprehensive, and the aura on King Ling's body was obviously different from before, so he should be angry.

Blue Baby wanted to explain to the guy, but was quietly pulled by Feng Wei, and then the guy was sent out.

Lan Baobao was a little angry in his heart, and took the opportunity to pour tea next to Feng Wei and said dissatisfiedly: "Why don't you let me explain?" Don't you see that His Highness's face is dark? ”

Feng Wei said unhurriedly: "If everyone wants to explain, can you explain it clearly?" Misunderstanding saves trouble, and Your Highness doesn't have anything to do. ”

"I don't have a backache when I speak, if I am held accountable by His Royal Highness in the future, I will be unlucky." Blue Baby felt that Feng Wei was watching a play.

Feng Wei laughed, his eyes unconsciously slipped to King Ling's side, and coldly bumped into a pair of scrutinizing and cold eyes, and immediately straightened his back, and turned sideways to the side to distance himself from the blue baby.

His reaction was too obvious, and the blue baby also found King Ling's gaze, and he didn't dare to face it squarely, and walked over with his head down to pour a cup of tea for the other party.

There were not many customers in the restaurant, so the dishes were served quickly.

These few were used to eating at the same table with them, and although the blue baby felt weak, he still sat down very consciously.

"How's it going?" Jin Lingluo asked suddenly.

Blue Baby looked strangely at the two people next to him.

Feng Wei put down his chopsticks and replied: "On the eve of four years, Fengshan did collapse once, and many people died at that time. The imperial court allocated funds to help the people affected by the disaster, and ordered the rebuilding of Xifeng Mountain. ”

"This king also knows about this." Jin Lingluo nodded.

Feng Wei continued: "It is rumored outside that the decline of Zhangcheng is related to the collapse of Xifeng Mountain, but in fact, it is all misinformation. ”

"Xifeng Mountain was rebuilt once that year, and although the products in the mountain are not as good as before, they can at least support a lot of traders, and it has little impact on Zhangcheng."

Blue Baby asked curiously, "What is the real reason for the decline of Zhangcheng?" And all we saw along the way, all we saw were old and weak, women and children, such a big city, but so sparsely populated, really strange. ”

Feng Wei nodded and explained: "In fact, the real decline of Zhangcheng began two years ago, when Xifeng Mountain collapsed again, and two officials were buried in the mountain, and more than two or three hundred people were killed and injured. ”

"Since then, there have been rumors in Zhangcheng that the mountain god of Xifeng Mountain is angry, and one of the rumors that the people of Zhangcheng are most convinced is that the mountain god is angry and wants to take the spirit of a hundred young adults as punishment."

Blue Baby's eyes widened, listening intently to the developments that followed.

Feng Wei stopped for a glass of wine before continuing: "As soon as the rumors came out, in half a month, more than 30 young people in the city were lost. In the end, these bodies were all found in Xifeng Mountain, and they were all hung upside down on tree branches and bled to death. ”

According to Boss Xing's description, he had witnessed the tragic condition of the corpse at that time, and it was hung in the sun for many days, and the skin and flesh were dry. Many people were frightened, and from then on, the people of Zhangcheng believed in the existence of the mountain god, and all the young and middle-aged people in the family quickly moved out of Zhangcheng. ”

"In less than half a year, most of the city was empty, and since then, Zhangcheng has slowly decayed." When Feng Wei reached the last sentence, his tone was full of emotion.

After listening to this, the blue baby felt a chill down her spine, she didn't believe in the nonsense of the mountain gods, but she was afraid that the people of Zhangcheng were being used.

But I don't know what the people behind it are trying to use those more than 30 lives to guide public opinion and force away so many people.

Moreover, there are still some young adults left in this city, "After the bodies of the more than 30 Rao were found, are there still young adults killed in the city?" ”

Feng Wei looked at Lan Baobao and shook his head, "No, isn't Boss Xing just alive?" It's just that the matter of the mountain god has taken root in the hearts of those people, and no one wants to risk coming back. There are also many people who believe that it is precisely when those who have demanded too much in Xifeng Mountain are gone, and the mountain god will stop being angry. ”

"Superstition kills people." Blue Baby shook his head speechlessly.

"Later, you go to the yamen, don't reveal your identity." Jin Lingluo finally opened his mouth, and just gave Feng Wei an order.

"My subordinates understand." Feng Wei responded, hurriedly ate a few bites of food, and then said goodbye and left.

Lan Baobao suddenly felt that the air in the room was so quiet that it made people panic, but His Royal Highness King Ling still sat calmly, as if he had no intention of leaving.

"Your Highness, what are we going to do next?" Blue Baby asked boldly.

Jin Lingluo raised his eyes to look at her, slowly drank a glass of wine, and said lightly: "Xifeng Mountain." ”

From the city to Xifeng Mountain, it takes half a day to travel back and forth.

In order to save time and avoid complications, after leaving the restaurant, they found a shop that rented out carriages and horses.

Blue Babies didn't know how to ride horses and wanted to rent a carriage, but when the shopkeeper heard that they were going to Xifeng Mountain, he persuaded them to give up with a fearful face.

Later, when the persuasion was useless, he recommended horses.

Because of the collapse of Xifeng Mountain twice, the surrounding roads have been damaged to varying degrees, and there is no stable road within five miles of the foot of the mountain.

Riding a horse can barely pass, but a carriage is absolutely impassable.

It's just that the blue baby doesn't know how to ride a horse, thinking that he should go back to the inn first and wait, so as not to drag down the order.

But before she could get her thoughts out of her mouth, King Ling had already ordered her to get on the horse.

Blue Baby never dared to disobey King Ling's orders, so she could only climb up awkwardly, and King Ling then sat up.
