A moment later, Zhou Xuanqing and Liu Yanshu were sitting in a carriage and arrived at the foot of Luoming Mountain leisurely.

Zhou Xuanqing lifted the curtain of the car, and what entered his nose was a scent of wildflowers, accompanied by the cool and slightly humid earthy atmosphere under the mountain.

She jumped out of the carriage and greeted Liu Yanshu: "Master Hou, come down and take a look, this mountain looks much more beautiful in the day than at night!"

Mo Huaigu and Lu Shiyi dismounted one after another, looked around each other, and saw a light mist lingering on the mountain, and the trees were lush and green, and they were also in a good mood.

Liu Yanshu didn't know what he was rubbing, and only jumped out of the carriage after a while. Swing sleeves:

"It's coming. ”

They were about to walk on the mountain road, but they heard the sound of neat footsteps behind them, so they looked back.

A team of soldiers in official uniforms is coming this way, and they also know the leader of the leader, who is the leader they met in Yihong Courtyard last time.

Just now, some villagers from the yamen came to the government to report to the official, saying that their two children were lost. Originally, this kind of thing was common in the locality, and the case was registered by the master book, and then the soldiers were empty and then investigated one by one. Just waiting for the family to develop the case can be as short as two or three days, as long as two or three months, and in the end, most of them will not be resolved. No matter how sad the family is, another one will come over a year later.

But the two children lost today are different, they are boys and girls who are wanted by the imperial court, and the eight characters of pure yang and pure yin are a little troublesome to find. Cai Tongzhi didn't have time to report to Governor Yang's mansion, so he sent the leader over to investigate the case.

The leader looked at it from a distance, and he felt that the group of people in front of him were a little familiar. When he approached with his troops, he found that it was Hou Ye and others. The heart was unlucky, and he immediately stood solemnly, and shouted with his hand: "The little one has seen the Hou Ye, but I don't know that the Hou Ye is playing in Luoming Mountain, and I hope to atone for the little sin of disturbance." ”

Some groveling is too much flattery. Zhou Xuanqing raised his eyebrows and did not speak.

Liu Yanshu asked, "What happened, what are you doing here?"

As soon as the leader said the case reported by Fang Cai, he saw that Liu Yanshu's expression was a little elusive.

"Boys and girls? What kind of monastic saying is this? Ben Hou is not in the capital, they really want to play one out and one out!"

Zhou Xuanqing seemed to be careless on the side, but he actually heard about it. A look of horror flashed in his eyes, and he quickly calmed down. She tugged at the hem of Liu Yanshu's clothes, and the latter turned back a little gloomily.

"What, you're okay too?"

Zhou Xuanqing motioned for him to step up a few steps before he said in a low voice: "Master Hou, I hear that my father and mother are unwilling to hand over the child, could it be that this is a false report, they deliberately hid the child? ”

She was kind-hearted, and the province finally found the child, but she had to endure the pain of separation.

Liu Yanshu glanced at her deeply, his tense face suddenly relaxed, and he replied with a smile: "It is also possible that you have analyzed, if this king helps with this, you will owe me again." ”

Zhou Xuanqing opened his mouth and smiled helplessly.

Liu Yanshu hooked his finger towards the leader, and the latter bent his body and came upside down.

"Master Hou, what do you command?"

"Da Zhenren wants to choose a waiter, but Ben Hou doesn't know at all. Ben Hou has other plans for this matter, so you can go back first. ”

The leader was first surprised and then embarrassed. The one in front of him is the Hou Ye, but that big real person is not an ordinary person!

"The little one will go back and report it first, so as not to disturb the Hou Ye. ”

Seeing that their group of people left, but in the end, there was still a pair of villagers dressed up, they stood in place and didn't know what to do, staring at Liu Yanshu without saying anything.

They are the father and mother who reported the case, and they followed the soldiers all the way, but they didn't find any traces, and the soldiers who investigated the case said they would leave. They saw clearly that the leader was very obedient to this noble man.

Zhou Xuanqing also saw them, walked over and asked, "The two of you are good, but you are the official?"

The two men were relieved to see that she was kind. The woman's nervous face eased a little and said, "It turned out to be a female crown." Today we took our children up the hill and played among the trees behind the gazebo, and after a while we were gone. It's all my fault, woo woo woo ......"

As she spoke, the woman's eyes turned red again and her nose soured, and she couldn't help but sob.

Zhou Xuanqing sighed, and Liu Yanshu, who came up behind her, pressed lightly on her shoulder.

She turned her head to meet the other person's eyes, and instantly understood what the other person was thinking.

Liu Yanshu's voice was low, his eyes crossed the faces of the two, and he observed them for a while and asked, "There are no officers and soldiers here, you might as well tell the truth." Did you really lose the child, or did you hide it?"

The man's surprised and confused expression didn't seem to be fake, he stared down at the woman, and asked, "You said that you didn't want the child to go to the capital, could it be that you deliberately -"

The woman was extremely aggrieved, and her sad cry was even worse: "You are hard-hearted, I naturally can't bear to have children as a mother, but how can I be so smart that I can hide my two children? I told the officers and soldiers that there are bandits on this mountain, and maybe they came down the mountain to arrest them!"

Hearing the woman mention the mountain bandits, Zhou Xuanqing frowned, and faintly felt puzzled: It doesn't make sense! Even if the group of mountain bandits wants to kidnap people for extortion, they should choose someone who is rich and powerful, right?

"Master Hou, anyway, we are going up the mountain, so it is better to help them check whether the child was really kidnapped by the mountain bandits. Mo Huaigu said, his two hands were a little nowhere to put them, so he simply carried them behind his back. As soon as the spotted cat left, he still didn't get used to it, and he always felt that there was something fluffy missing in his arms.

Zhou Xuanqing was pondering, his eyes mixed with confusion.

Liu Yanshu looked at it and groaned slightly, before he said, "In that case, the two of you will follow us up the mountain." ”

~

In the divine view on the top of the mountain, the peacock spirit Tang Sanfeng had a soft and handsome face, and his face was very stiff. He was brought back from the Yang family by the demon monarch for unknown reasons last night, and he already felt very embarrassed. And at this moment, the group of mountain bandits stupidly sent him a pair of virgins and boys.

"I heard that this kind of child was originally to be dedicated to the great real people in the capital, we look strange and pitiful, why don't we let the mountain god bless it, and be taken in and raised by the cottage, it is better than pulling it to the place in the capital that eats people and does not spit out bones. ”

The mother-in-law of the mountain bandit leader has never been able to give birth to children, so she overhears the conversation between the husband and wife and simply abducts the two children. The leader stood in the temple and looked at the stone statue of the mountain god with anticipation.

Tang Sanfeng wanted to scold people very much: These mountain bandits can't change their-eating nature! Where did their inexplicable sympathy come from? Who gave the cheekiness to say that such a person as abducting children was so righteous and awe-inspiring? He still had to tell him about this.

It's a pity that he pretends to be a mountain god, and the gods don't curse.

Tang Sanfeng of the stone statue has a kind eyebrow and kind eyes. He silently swallowed the expletives he was about to utter and rolled his eyes out of sight.

Seeing that the mountain god did not answer, several mountain bandits thought that they had acquiesced, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed, and then happily picked up the child and left.

Seeing that there was no one, Tang Sanfeng broke away from the stone statue. He looked up at the spider on the beam and said, "Demon Monarch, since you came back to the present, you haven't made a sound. Why, before autumn is gone, you are going to hibernate?"

The beams were empty and there was no response. Just when Tang Sanfeng thought that the Demon Monarch was out of breath, a spider fell down a white spider silk.

The dark eyes looked at Tang Sanfeng deadly, and the latter gasped in fright.

"Demon Monarch, what are you doing when you turn back to your original form?"
