There are four days left before the Midyear Festival, which is the famous Shi Gu Festival in Beijing, also known as the "Ghost Festival".

"Zeng Province was shocked to sleep and smell the rain, I don't know how to get lost for the flowers to bloom", Liluo held the poem, quite a little worried, but Zimi and Huaihua were busy preparing for the Midyear Festival lanterns, according to the convention, on the day of the Midyear Festival, the women of the whole Beijing Division will go out to put river lanterns and pray for their families and themselves.

I don't know why, remembering that Huangpu Changjian said "catching ghosts on Halloween" yesterday, she has been secretly thinking about this matter in her heart, who released the news, what deal she is going to do, and will it be her father.

It's a pity that Jiang Bing has been busy with official business outside these days, and she has no time to go home, Dali Temple is heavily guarded, unlike Quzhou in the past, and she is not easy to inquire.

Unconsciously, Liluo remembered what Shen Xitong told her about the Tanshan zombies last time, "Halloween" In case of a large number of zombies in Jingshi, will Daddy's plan be abandoned, Liluo suddenly felt a palpitation in her heart, "Cherry, go and call Yuzhu, let's clean up and go to Shen Mansion." ”

When Huaihua heard this, she didn't ask much, and hurriedly asked someone to prepare the carriage, and Cherry took a coat for Liluo, and went out with her.

It was raining lightly in Jingshi, the road was wet, and the pedestrians were in a hurry, as if they were all in a hurry to go home.

Liluo sat in the carriage and wanted to open the curtain to breathe, but saw a man wearing a mask riding a horse speeding past the street, Yuzhu seemed to be in a daze after seeing it, and stared until the man disappeared from the street.

"Is that the man we saw last time in the Purple Qi East Pavilion?" Seeing that Yuzhu's expression was a little strange, Liluo asked softly.

Coming back to his senses, Yuzhu was slightly embarrassed, "It seems to be, I'm not sure either." ”

"This man rode a horse with great strength and order, and rode through the market without disturbing the people, presumably for the official son," Riro continued to whisper, "why did he wear a mask?" ”

"He should also be a subordinate of the Third Highness Jing Yu." Yuzhu was suddenly silent for a while and then replied, "After seeing him in the Purple Qi Donglai Pavilion last time, I asked someone in private, and it is said that only the Third Highness's subordinates have a masked forbidden army, and they specialize in arresting people who have broken the law, known as the cold-faced Yama. ”

"Cold-faced Yama?" Liluo was shocked in his heart, secretly thinking that he only knew that the third prince Jingyu was very interested in the affairs of the rivers and lakes, but he didn't know that it was their group who wore masks, and thought to himself, last time in the Purple Qi Donglai Pavilion, I also sent Brother Huang Ying to follow the man with a mask, and I wouldn't let him know his identity.

Liluo secretly worried about himself again, who is this cold-faced Yama His Highness, no matter who it is, it seems that he needs to stay as far away from this person as possible in the future.

Shen Mansion was not far away, and Liluo arrived soon, and the doorman who guarded the door saw that it was Miss Biao, so he hurriedly went in to pass the word.

Shen Xitong was picking up lanterns in her small courtyard at this time, as well as jewelry to prepare for the Midyear Festival, her parents were not there, and Shen Muzhou was in the barracks again, she had successfully persuaded Shen Chuling to let her go out to put river lanterns on the day of the Midyear Festival, just let the soldiers at home follow.

Seeing Shen Xitong busy in his own courtyard, and with a little bit of the delicacy of his daughter's family, Liluo felt a little envious and emotional, should she be like her, a carefree boudoir lady.

Shen Xitong asked the maid Azi to bring the horseshoe cake that Liluo likes to eat, "Liluo, do you have time tomorrow, accompany me to the Yuexi Pavilion, okay?" ”

Shen Xitong began to pester Liluo to accompany her to the Yuexi Pavilion, it is said that the clothes of the Yuexi Pavilion are dazzling, and the fabrics, styles, and colors are the first in the world, and they are quite popular among the nobles in Beijing.

"Why don't you let Sister Shiyu accompany you?" Liluo asked with a smile, thinking in her heart how to get Shen Xitong to take her to see the place where she had seen zombies last time.

"Hmph, this person is heavy on sex and light on friends, tomorrow Lin Chongyi will give a lecture in Huainan Pavilion, she wants to go and listen." Shen Xitong was a little indignant after speaking.

"Lin Chongyi, the first talent of Beijing, it is said that this talent is first-class, the article is very well written, and the person is good-looking, I just went to Liuxian Tower when I first arrived in Beijing, and this person is actually ranked fourth in the list of beautiful men in Beijing, so I also want to hear it." Liluo deliberately amplified her voice.

"What's so good-looking, this person has a stinky temper and a black face, and he is not comparable to my eldest brother at all." Shen Xitong's eyes were about to roll to the sky.

"Oh, you've seen him before, he's not a beautiful man?" Rilo teased with a smile.

Shen Xitong twitched his face, a little unimpressed, "I've only met a few times, this person actually humiliated me in front of other students in Fangcao Pavilion, anyway, I don't like him." ”

Liluo knew that Shen Xitong had wanted to save face since she was a child, and knew that this Lin Dacai had hit her head, "It's okay not to go, but you accompany me to a place today." ”

"Where?" Shen Xitong asked.

"Tan Shan." Liluo took a bite of the horseshoe cake in her mouth, and said softly, "I want to go to Tanshan to see my grandmother, I haven't been back to Jingshi for a while, I especially miss my grandmother, and last time you said that you saw zombies in Tanshan, I was worried about my grandmother's safety, and I wanted to go and see it in person." ”

Hearing the pleading meaning in Liluo's tone, Shen Xitong had no choice but to say, "Okay, okay, I'll go with you, but you have to go to the Yuexi Pavilion with me tomorrow, and you are not allowed to see that Lin Chongyi." Shen Xitong threatened fiercely.

Riluo nodded, "Don't worry." ”

The two sat in a carriage together, and the big girls sat in a carriage behind, Hu Fei was worried about the situation last time, so he went out with more than a dozen soldiers this time.

Tan Shan was about two hours away from Shen Mansion, Shen Xitong fell asleep not long after he was in the carriage, and he kept leaning on Liluo's shoulder, but Liluo was worried about the matter of the Yuan Festival in his heart, the blue underworld flower was so powerful, I don't know if that national teacher Lang Qingfeng can develop an antidote.

When the carriage arrived at Tan Mountain, Liluo suddenly understood why her grandmother liked to come here, there are many ancient trees here, it is very quiet, and the road up the mountain is not steep, it is indeed suitable for the elderly.

However, when I arrived at the monastery, the monk inside said that my grandmother was meditating in retreat, and it was inconvenient to come out now, so she had to wait for a few hours.

Liluo and Xitong had to wait in the courtyard, waiting for no one around, Liluo wanted Shen Xitong to take her to the place where zombies appeared, but Shen Xitong flatly refused, "Jiang Liluo, I know you are bold, but," Shen Xitong paused slightly, "I'm timid, and I don't want to meet zombies again, please let me go." ”

"What if the zombies come out and threaten my grandmother's safety, and I didn't rush to go, I brought a lot of things." Liluo tried to convince Shen Xitong.

"What did you bring, dog blood or rune paper." Shen Xitong almost rolled her eyes, in her eyes, Jiang Liluo was weaker than her.

"No, I brought a fire fold and lamp oil." Riloku replied with some confidence.

"You still want to burn it, they will burn us before it is burned,"

"Shh," Seeing that Shen Xitong's voice was a little loud, Liluo hurriedly motioned her to make a lower voice, "Sister Xitong, don't worry, I have already checked the topography of Tan Mountain when I came, where the sun is sheltered from the shade, the sun is sufficient, and the trees are luxuriant, it is a rare feng shui treasure land, and there are thousands of years of ancient temples here, it is absolutely impossible to have zombies, I suspect that someone is pretending." Shen Xitong's eyes slowly enlarged after hearing the words, she knew since she was a child that Jiang Liluo was smarter and more studious than her.

Seeing that Shen Xitong didn't speak, Liluo continued to preach, "Grandmother is obsessed with Buddhism, and she will never leave until she has a new Zen study, so we have to find a way to lure the zombies out and bring them to justice." ”

Seeing that Liluo had moved his grandmother out, Shen Xitong didn't have anything to say, "Then I only have one request, bring him with me." She pointed to Hu Fei, who was watching into the distance.

"Guard Hu is the key to the plan, that's for sure." Riro nodded in agreement.

The first step of the plan is to lure the snake out of the hole, on the road behind Tan Mountain, a girl in blue and a girl in red are walking on the road arm in arm, it is Jiang Liluo and Shen Xitong, they don't have any maids and guards around them, they look like girls who ran away from home from a big family.

"Liluo, is this really okay?" Shen Xitong asked quietly, and Liluo began to doubt his judgment as he walked, "Could it be that their goal is not to arrest people, we don't seem to be able to catch them so well." She thought to herself.

The first step of the plan failed.

In the second step of using food, Hu Fei didn't know where to catch two chickens, he coated them with thick honey, roasted them on the fire, and then pretended to go to the river to catch fish.

Liluo and Xitong hid and a few maids and guards hid behind the haystack, staring at the two chickens, roasting them slowly over low heat, the fragrance of the chickens drifted farther and farther, and Shen Xitong couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

Half an hour passed, and there was still no half figure on the back mountain, Shen Xitong began to move a little impatiently, but Liluo stared at the two chickens tightly, not daring to relax in the slightest.

She thought that if she had been hiding in the mountains for so long, she would not be able to resist the smell of roast chicken.

"What are you doing here?" Liluo and Xitong heard a low male voice behind them at the same time, and they both screamed and jumped up in fright, and the reactions of several people behind them were similar.

Liluo turned his head to see that a man was wearing a dark black Guangling robe, wearing a long sword, standing there with his waist straight, his eyes were dark, his eyes were alienated, and the decorations on his body seemed to be inconspicuous but were actually very noble.

Xitong was the first to react, "Brother Jingyu, why are you here?" ”

The third prince Jingyu, Liluo immediately reacted, and looked around, several men dressed in black and wearing masks were distributed around.

"The little girl greets His Royal Highness the King of Jin", Liluo immediately saluted on the side, tried to lower her head as much as possible, and her heart was instantly mixed, and the person she didn't want to meet was met on this occasion.

"No need to be polite," Jing Yu replied, "Xitong, you two girls are very dangerous outside like this, hurry back." "Although Jing Yu and the Shen family don't have much contact, they can be regarded as acquaintances since childhood.

"Oh," Xitong replied, ready to pull Jiang Liluo back to the temple quickly, she didn't agree to come out to catch zombies.

Liluo is more like a mouse seeing a cat, eager to put oil on the soles of his feet and hurry away.

Just as the two of them turned to say goodbye, "Wait", Jing Yu suddenly shouted, "What's your name." ”

After Liluo realized that Jing Yu was staring at her, "Little girl Jiang Liluo." She did her best to make herself appear sensible, gentle and timid.

"Yes." Seeing that Jing Yu didn't ask anything, Riluo planned to turn around and leave gracefully.

"What you are looking for is very likely to have left Tanshan, and I will personally check where you went." Jing Yu suddenly said to Jiang Liluo's back, and Liluo's back instantly stiffened.
