Chapter 179: No Way to Enter the City
I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival (__)
Two thousand soldiers. It took five days to finally remove the huge stones that lay across the outermost part of the Moon Temple. No matter how busy Shangguan Yu is, he will come here every day, not only to personally supervise the work, but also to do it himself, if it weren't for Zhao Li and others desperately persuading, he might have spent the night here. However, this is the case, his whole person is also losing weight at the speed of his eyes, the edges and corners of his face are becoming more and more distinct, his eyes are full of red bloodshots, and he looks like he has not slept for days and nights.
Every time he came here, except for asking about the progress of the search, most of the time he didn't say a word, and when he occasionally rested, he raised his eyes to look at the ruins in front of him, and his eyes showed a look of determination.
Henghua only watched from afar, neither persuaded nor reprimanded later. Just waiting for him to come out of this cage when he will come out.
On the sixth day, the soldiers' progress had moved to the entrance of the temple, but when they removed the boulder at the entrance of the main hall and dug out the body of Bai Su from the huge chasm inside the door. At that moment, Shangguan Yu's whole person seemed to be drained of his soul, and his expression was so blank that the viewer's heart was cold.
He once pinned all his hopes on Bai Su, and he always thought that with a person like Bai Su, he would definitely be able to escape inside. Mo Lao also said that there is indeed a secret passage in the temple, but the specific location and where it leads, except for the city lord, no one knows. So in the past few days, Shangguan Yu has been holding hope in his heart, but now, what he sees is the corpse of the person he has pinned the most hopes on
Bai Su is dead, Tang Lu'er ...... What will happen?
Suddenly, he didn't dare to search any further, he couldn't believe it, he couldn't imagine seeing her corpse the next moment.
"Lord Wang, Senior Tang, please come over." Bai Jing walked over from the side and whispered a word next to him.
Shangguan Yu came back to his senses, his eyes took his eyes off Bai Su's corpse with difficulty, and he asked blankly after a long time, "What's the matter?"
"I don't know. Just ask the prince to come over. When Bai Jing came over, Zhaocai grabbed her, and she hugged it too. It's just that after Zhaocai looked at Shangguan Yu, he jumped over from Bai Jing's arms, climbed on top of him, looked at the crowded ruins in front of him with some anxiety and confusion, and then turned his head to Shangguan Yu and meowed twice. It hadn't seen Tang Lu'er for several days, and it seemed to be out of animal intuition, it was very restless these days, and it didn't even sleep much, as long as it saw familiar people, it followed it.
At this moment, seeing this cat, it is like seeing Tang Lu'er. Shangguan Yu carefully held Zhaocai in his hand, as if holding hope, her cat is still there, and she will definitely come back to find her cat.
"Haven't you found it yet?" Don't skip words. In the past few days, Mrs. Tang has smoked less incense, and a lot of medicine has been used for a certain period of time. It doesn't work anymore.
"Uncle don't worry, I haven't found it now, which is good news, perhaps, she has already escaped from the secret passage." Shangguan Yu looked at Mrs. Tang sitting on the recliner and whispered a word of comfort, and at the same time persuaded herself.
Mrs. Tang raised her eyelids and glanced at him, and suddenly scolded: "It's not a climatic thing, things haven't happened yet, so you make yourself look like this ghost, who will show it, why don't you go back and clean up quickly, and then come to see me"
"Uncle Shi......" Shangguan Yu was stunned.
"Go ahead, have more confidence in the girl, she won't leave me as an old woman, and besides, I don't have much time left, she knows better than you in her heart." Mrs. Tang beckoned to Zhaocai as she spoke, and Zhaocai had already slipped from Shangguan Yu's arms, and after seeing Mrs. Tang beckoning it, it rushed there, twisted its buttocks, jumped on Mrs. Tang, and then meowed with a little relief.
"This little guy is the most spiritual, if the girl really had a case, it wouldn't be like this." Mrs. Tang gently followed Zhaocai and said again.
After Shangguan Yu went out, Master Henghua came out of the back room and saluted Mrs. Tang and said, "Thank you, senior."
Mrs. Tang squinted at him and snorted coldly: "Right now, if the girl really has a case, don't expect me to have a good face." After all, I only have a month left, so I have nothing to worry about. β
Henghua was silent for a while, bowed again, and then turned around, but Mrs. Tang continued in the back: "I don't care what you do, but don't beat the girl's idea, although I am old, but the Tang Sect is still there." Also, I was originally an unreasonable person, if the girl really died, then our beam would be settled. β
"Juniors understand." Henghua turned around and said respectfully, and then gently retreated.
After the room returned to tranquility, Mrs. Tang gently touched Zhaocai's soft body and sighed: "That unfilial thing, my old life is really not enough for her to toss."
In the afternoon of the same day, a little girl with a dirty face entered Baiyue City with an old farmer selling charcoal, only to see that the girl jumped off the charcoal cart, and looked left and right in a daze, and the old farmer said to her: "Girl, I heard that there was a big incident in the main city of Baiyue a few days ago, and many people died, and the brother you are looking for is probably no longer there." Moreover, there are a lot of officers and soldiers surrounding it now, and they will not let people in easily, or you should go to the government office first to inquire, or look for acquaintances outside, and see if there is any way. β
"Thank you, uncle." Tang Lu'er touched his body as he spoke, and finally took out a pearl and handed it to the old farmer, "Uncle, now I only have this on me, you can take it, you can sell it for money." β
"Yo, girl. How can this make me just take a ride and take it back quickly. Although the old farmer didn't know the goods, when he looked at the size of the beads, he knew that it was a good thing, so he hurriedly wrapped Tang Lu'er's hand and said, "You are single now, don't show your wealth casually, be careful of causing trouble." Although the uncle has the heart to help you, the uncle really has no ability. β
Tang Lu'er had no choice but to put away the pearl, bowed to him gratefully, and said, "I know that uncle is a good person, and I will definitely repay you in the future."
When she escaped from the secret passage of the Moon Temple that day, she did not think that the secret passage actually led to a mountain forest, and if she hadn't met this old farmer who was chopping wood and burning charcoal, she was afraid that she would have died in that mountain forest. However, she still made up a lie to the old peasant, saying that she was going to the main city of Baiyue to find her brother, but unfortunately she encountered robbers on the way, but fortunately she desperately fled into the mountains to escape and so on. Before, she was in the secret passage, because she was afraid that she would attract attention and cause trouble after going out, so she removed the wedding dress outside in advance, as well as the pearls and jewels on her hair, so the clothes and hair on her body were very messy, so the old peasant was not suspicious, took her in for a few days, and let her go into the city with her.
After bidding farewell to the old peasant, Tang Lu'er inquired all the way to the square of the main city of Baiyue, but was blocked by the officers and soldiers guarding there.
"You let me in, I really know the people in Baiyue City, and I also know your Prince Anyuan, I beg you, I really have something urgent to go in. Either you find someone to go in and report to me, just say that Tang Lu'er is looking for King An Yuan, or you can say that it is Bai Wei, you can find the girl in the white mirror, or find Elder Mo, or find Mrs. Tang, or. Or you go to the Plum Hall and find someone to come out, please, let me in"
No one paid attention to her words, and a little girl in a coarse cloth dress with a charcoal ash on her face said these words, and anyone thought that she was whimsical and had an abnormal brain, who would believe it. After a leader was entangled by her for a long time, he drank her a sentence a little impatiently: "What do you know King Anyuan, I still know the emperor, what do you see, if you don't leave, I'll put you in prison, I'm busy now, don't make trouble, go quickly."
"I-" Tang Lu'er stood there anxious and helpless, she had to go in, grandma didn't have much time left. However, looking at this soldier with a deep martial law, she deeply felt the inconvenience caused by her identity and status for the first time, and it was difficult for her to move an inch without those false identities. The main city was in front, and my grandmother was inside, but she couldn't get in, and thousands of officers and soldiers watched, unless she could grow wings and fly in
After being driven away, Tang Lu'er wandered around the square in a daze, what to do, no one believed her.
"Hey, you're not the oneβ" Just crouched down in a corner facing the main city, a pair of riding booted feet suddenly appeared in front of her.
Tang Lu'er raised her eyes in confusion, was dazed for a moment, and then was stunned, that person turned out to be Lu Shanzi.
"It's really you" Lu Shanzi was stunned for a moment, then squatted down in front of her, looked at her and said, "What's the matter with you?" Aren't you Bai Wei? Why, could it be that he was an imposter and was kicked out. β
Tang Lu'er gave him a blank look, but suddenly paused, and then grabbed his clothes and said, "Can you take me in?"
"Go in? Where to go? Lu Shanzi was puzzled for a while.
"There." Tang Lu'er pointed towards the main city.
"You're really kicked out?" Lu Shanzi looked at her even more in surprise, and then showed a little sympathy in his eyes, "I said, I was quite suspicious of you that day, forget it, you can be regarded as helping us, in this way, since you have been kicked out, don't think about it, just mess with us in the future." I'll tell you, we're not just horse thieves, sometimes we come in and do some small business or something. β
"Can you take me in?" Tang Lu'er was impatient with him talking so much, and when she asked again, her tone became even worse.
"Don't look up to me so much, what is my identity, are you asking me to hit the muzzle of the gun" Lu Shanzi shook off her hand and said, "Besides, what are you doing in like this, I'm not afraid of being kicked out again"
"Didn't you still take me up to that tower before, why can't you do it now?" Tang Lu'er grabbed his clothes again and said, "I wasn't kicked out, in short, this matter is hard to explain, you help me, and I won't forget your kindness when the time comes." β
"At this time and that time, how can it be compared with now, you look at those people, all of them are like Yamas, now this matter is strict, if you can't get it right, you will be directly given the Fa-rectification on the spot." Lu Shanzi glanced at her as he spoke, "In order to prevent the believers here from making trouble, the atmosphere is tense as if there is going to be a war, unless you can fly, no one can do it." β
"Flying ......" Tang Lu'er was slightly stunned, then stood up and said, "I know how to get in, you come to help me"
