Chapter 315: True and False, False and True
Chen Shixiong spoke, and the group began a slow journey.
I didn't go far, and a few vendors wearing hats came down along the road, and after seeing such a huge group of people, I suddenly came to my senses.
"This old gentleman, would you like to buy some food?" Someone stepped forward and opened his mouth warmly.
Chen Shixiong waved his hand, and his subordinates paid the money and bought a lot of water and cakes and distributed them.
The vendors made money and smiled for a while, and someone enthusiastically said, "Old gentleman, climbing the mountain so late?" It's not a good mountain road. ”
"May I ask my old friend, how long does it take to climb from here to Lingyin Temple?" Chen Shixiong asked in a deep voice.
The vendor thought for a moment and replied enthusiastically, "Like these young and strong young men, four hours is about the same, and if you are old, it will take you five or six hours." ”
Chen Shixiong frowned and didn't say anything.
Another vendor said again: "But if you walk up for about ten minutes, there should be a sedan chair driver who has not returned home, and you can hire them to carry you up, and you can be leisurely." ”
"Sedan chair driver?" Chen Shixiong repeated it in a low voice, and then opened his mouth to thank him.
The group of vendors was about to leave, but Chen Shixiong stopped the vendors again and said in a deep voice: "May I ask if my old friend has heard of Monk Huizhi?" ”
Seeing Chen Shixiong's inquiry, Zhao Siqing did not panic.
Only a few people know what she says, and even if these vendors don't know, she doesn't care.
Zhao Siqing felt that this was a means for Chen Shixiong to test her, and if she was flustered, Chen Shixiong would think that what she said was false.
Sure enough, after Chen Shixiong opened his mouth to ask, his eyes jumped over the vendors and fell on Zhao Siqing.
The vendor hesitated for a moment and said, "There are very few people who know about him, and we don't know if this person exists, but we do hear that someone has seen him. ”
After getting the answer, the group continued up the mountain.
It was already winter, and it was even colder on the mountain, and after walking for nearly ten minutes or so, I saw two sedan chairs on a slower hillside.
It is said to be a sedan chair, but in fact it is just two relatively spacious chairs, which are connected by strong wooden poles to become a simple sedan chair.
Chen Shixiong stopped, stared at Zhao Siqing and Chen Xingyan for a while, and said to his subordinates in a deep voice: "\b Along, you leave half of the people with the two of them, Dr. Zhao's mind is very heavy, I am afraid that there are other plans on the road, you all keep an eye on people for me!" ”
"Yes."
After the words fell, Chen Shixiong looked at Zhao Siqing and said, "Doctor Zhao, the old man is waiting for you in Lingyin Temple." ”
"Please." Zhao Siqing spoke softly.
Immediately, Chen Shixiong got on the sedan chair and hired two more sedan chair drivers to carry the sedan chair together, which was much faster than Zhao Siqing and his party.
After Chen Shixiong left, Zhao Siqing breathed a sigh of relief and began to think about the next step.
The mountain trail is long and difficult.
At first, Chen Shixiong's men were still closely guarding Zhao Siqing and Chen Xingyan respectively, but after more than an hour, they gradually relaxed a lot, some people walked in front, and some people walked behind, which gave Zhao Siqing and Chen Xingyan a chance to speak.
Chen Xingyan walked beside Zhao Siqing and asked softly, "Is what you said true?" ”
Zhao Siqing turned his head to look at her, his eyes were clear and bright in the night: "True and false, false and true, before the end, who can say for sure." ”
Chen Xingyan looked at her with complicated eyes, and said softly after a while: "I'm sorry, I bothered you." ”
If she hadn't asked her to find Lu Minmin, Zhao Siqing would not have fallen to this point.
But she couldn't figure it out, how could Lu Minmin betray her?
