Chapter 85: Two Actions
She was startled, felt the man approaching, and immediately leaned forward, trembling and said, "Temple, palace...... I'm still, I'm still ......."
Before he finished speaking, the man directly grabbed the reins and urged the horse under him.
Baby Blue gasped and shut up.
This should be the second time she has ridden a horse, and the last time she was on the back of a horse and was led by Feng Wei, she didn't dare to open her eyes to see it all the way.
And this time she was riding the same horse with King Ling, although she didn't have to worry about safety anymore, but for her, King Ling was the most dangerous existence.
The man almost enclosed her in his arms, and as the horse jolted, the two of them inevitably rubbed together.
Blue Baby tried to straighten his back and try to avoid physical contact between the two Rao.
Fortunately, even when she changes into women's clothes, she will wrap her breasts, otherwise her identity will be easily exposed with this level of contact.
An hour later, they finally arrived at the foot of Xifeng Mountain.
Then came the most difficult five-mile road, and sure enough, as the horse dealer said, the ground was not flat, it was simply potholes.
There's a dirt bag here, a dirt pit there, and those luxuriant weeds still obscure the sight of many feet, and you may step on the air and trip over any of them.
Jin Lingluo observed, then turned over and dismounted, raised his hand and said to Lan Baobao, "Go in." ”
The blue baby looked at the hand in front of him for a moment, and quickly held it gently in the man's urging eyes.
As soon as Jin Lingluo's arm was a little harder, the blue baby felt a sense of weightlessness in his body, and jumped off the horse lightly.
As soon as her feet hit the ground, the man let go, and after tying up his horse, he walked into the knee-high grass with the hem of his coat
Lan Baobao held his hand, felt that his whole arm was a little numb, and when he saw that His Highness had walked a little far, he quickly shook his hand and lifted his skirt and walked in.
She followed Jin Lingluo all the way, walking the road he had walked, although she still couldn't avoid a deep foot and a shallow foot, but at least she didn't bump into it.
Five miles of road, the two walked for half an hour to reach the real foot of the mountain.
The blue baby looked up, because it had experienced two landslides, this was originally very magnificent and majestic Xifeng Mountain, but now it has become a pile of rolling hills.
The environment on the mountain is also chaotic, like a barren mountain with no people.
"Do you want to go up the mountain?" Blue Baby asked.
Jin Lingluo observed for a moment below, there were no more paths on the mountain that had been trampled out, and the mountains were full of half-human-high weeds and chaotic and lush trees.
"No, just take a look around."
After finishing speaking, Jin Lingluo walked along the foot of the mountain to the left.
Blue Baby is hesitant to start in the other direction, which will also save time.
"Keep up." Jin Lingluo suddenly threw two words.
The blue baby no longer hesitated and hurried after him.
The road at the foot of the mountain was not easy to walk, and they walked all the way, as if they were gradually going up.
Lan Baobao didn't know what King Ling wanted to come here to find, so he asked twice, but the other party didn't answer, so he simply shut his mouth and dutifully followed behind His Highness.
She watched whatever he saw, she stopped when he stopped, and she followed when he turned around, and so on several times, and King Ling's attention ran to her.
"Look for the tree." Jin Lingluo looked at her for a moment and said.
Blue Baby nodded sluggishly, and it wasn't until the other party turned around again that she suddenly came to her senses.
Looking for a tree, what kind of tree are you looking for?
She remembered it after a little recollection, when Feng Wei was in the restaurant before, the more than 30 men were hung upside down on a tree and dried up, and then turned into human dry children after being exposed to the scorching sun.
If all this was man-made, and more than thirty people were killed in that cruel way in a short period of time, it would certainly not be done by one person.
And they will not choose to commit murder in the mountains, because it is inconvenient, and the corpses are not easy to be found, which is contrary to their original intention of doing these things.
Therefore, the tree they are looking for now should be the tree where the corpse hung back then.
Then three conditions must be met, one is in a more conspicuous place at the foot of the mountain, the second is that the branches must be strong and strong enough, and the third must be a place with dense trees, otherwise there are more than 30 people, and one tree is not enough at all.
Of course, if there is a century-old tree here, then the third point can be ignored.
Searching the neighborhood according to his own speculation, Baby Blue found some trees that looked very sturdy, but did not meet the third requirement.
After finding it, she suddenly found that King Ling was gone.
She was obviously following the other party just now, but she disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Lan Baobao was a little panicked, and he opened his mouth to shout "Your Highness", but after thinking about it, he changed his words: "Uncle, uncle? Where are you? Uncle ......"
As soon as he screamed a few times, there was a movement in the bushes not far away, and before the blue baby had time to be afraid, Jin Lingluo calmly leaned out half of his body from it.
"Here."
Blue Baby suddenly relieved himself and couldn't wait to run to his side. When the probe looked inside, he realized that there was a narrow path.
"Inside?"
Jin Lingluo nodded at her, and said as he walked inside: "Or the murder scene of the year." ”
The blue baby's heart tightened, and a slight chill appeared in his heart.
The trail is not long, with some half-human-high slopes on both sides, plus lush trees and weeds stacked on top of each other, so it is difficult to notice it when outside.
They walked a dozen paces forward, and then they saw a spacious area, and there was a forest in it, quite dense.
Blue Baby looked at it and felt that it should be the most suitable place for those people to commit crimes.
There was a landslide here just two years ago, and there shouldn't have been as many weeds around the trail as it is now.
So at that time, if someone came over, they should easily be able to cross the half-human-high mound and see the forest in front of them.
Probably in his heart, the blue baby looked at the forest in front of him and felt both gloomy and hideous.
She unconsciously approached Jin Lingluo and hid tightly behind him.
"Stay still." Jin Lingluo glanced back at her, explained and walked towards the woods.
The blue baby stared at his figure closely, for fear that the other party would disappear if he staggered away.
Fortunately, the forest was not big, Jin Lingluo turned around in it, and the blue baby saw that he seemed to be dragging something from a certain branch, and finally walked back to her.
"Let's go back."
Blue Baby nodded, not daring to ask more.
The two of them returned the same way, and just after passing through the low-lying and uneven section of the road, when they were about to go to the official road, Lan Baobao suddenly felt Jin Lingluo's arm tighten, and she leaned directly into the other party's arms.
She thought it was a tremor on the road, and quickly wanted to move forward, but was re-encircled in her arms by Jin Lingluo.
"Don't move, there's someone behind." The man whispered warning in her ear.
Blue Baby's heart tightened, and he asked, "Is it an assassin?" ”
Jin Lingluo continued to drive the horse forward at the previous speed, his face was also calm and calm, and he whispered in the woman's ear: "I'm not sure, I don't sound like an ordinary person." ”
Only then did the blue baby notice that there seemed to be a team of men and horses behind them, and the sound of horses' hooves was neat and powerful, as if they had been trained.
The most important thing is that she still remembers the owner of the tea shed, and now no one comes to Zhangcheng anymore, and they did not see anyone on the road yesterday.
Thinking about it like this, she became even more convinced that the people behind her were coming for them.
When they were on the road yesterday, they were almost discovered, but fortunately, Feng Wei reacted quickly and avoided their tracking.
But these assassins are like dogskin plasters, and sooner or later they will still come after them.
The sound of horses' hooves behind them grew closer and closer, until the blue baby could feel the vibration from the ground, and in the blink of an eye, a figure had passed them.
There were about seven or eight people, riding horses side by side in twos and twos, carrying with them a puff of dust.
Because of his nervousness, the blue baby forgot to cover it, and was immediately blinded by the dust.
Rubbing her aching eyes, she saw through her hazy vision that the group of centaurs had suddenly stopped and turned to them.
Jin Lingluo hugged her arm tighter and tightened the ground, only to see the leader ride back to them on horseback and circle around them, as if speculating about their identities.
The more the blue baby rubbed his eyes, the redder he became, and he left a few tears.
The leader stopped the horse and stared at the blue baby again, as if to ask what was the matter with her?
Jin Lingluo arched his hand to the person who came: "The insider was naughty, led the horse and ran out alone, and after I caught up with him, he scolded a few words, and then cried, a few brothers are not strange." ”
After listening to Jin Lingluo's explanation, the hand that Lan Baobao wanted to put down immediately rubbed his eyes vigorously, forcing himself to squeeze out a few more tears, and the other hand did not forget to beat the male rao's chest and splash.
Jin Lingluo held her hand and lowered his head to coax people.
Those people looked at them a few more times, and the leader explained: "Don't blame the two, we are not bad people, but there have been no outsiders entering Zhangcheng for a long time, so we will be extra vigilant." ”
Jin Lingluo raised his head and replied: "It's okay, we also came to this road unintentionally, so let's go back and say goodbye." ”
Then he turned the horse's head and went in the opposite direction.
Blue Baby lay in his arms, trying to listen to the movement behind him, until he was sure that the people were not following, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, he realized that he was still in King Ling's arms, his face was blushing, and he hurriedly sat up straight.
I unconsciously remembered what happened just now, although I knew that it was acting in a hurry, but His Royal Highness's "insider" still shocked her heart.
No, I can't think about it anymore, it's all acting.
The blue baby cleared his throat silently and asked in a low voice, "Why don't we take advantage of the situation and go into the city?" Wouldn't it be easier for them to suspect if they walked away like this? ”
Jin Lingluo glanced at the back of her head, turned the horse's head and walked onto a road, explaining, "Although those people are dressed in civilian clothes, they are not ordinary people. Even when they enter the city, they will be suspicious, otherwise why do you think the Assassins know our whereabouts every time? ”
Blue Baby was shocked, "You are one of those people who are likely to be from the government just now, and there are likely to be assassins in the government?" If this is the case, wouldn't there be problems with the entire Kuiqian area? ”
That's terrible, if there is a problem with Kui Qian, I'm afraid the dock will not be clean.
They are walking on a thin sheet of ice, and they are in danger of falling into the river at any moment.
"It's just speculation at the moment." Jin Lingluo stopped speaking after answering this sentence.
He rode a horse and took her to shuttle on various roads, and I don't know how long she walked, the blue baby was hungry and hungry, and her buttocks hurt, and she thought that the other party was lost.
She was soon slapped in the face, and when they passed through a forest, they were greeted by the gates of Zhangcheng.
It's late afternoon, and it's time for dinner, and the city is really the same as last night, and it's hard to see a few people on the streets.
Fortunately, the Guiyuan Inn where they stayed was no longer as closed as last night, and two lanterns hung on the door had been lit, as if waiting for the return of the guest.
The blue baby looked at the lantern and felt a hint of warmth.
