Chapter 173: Honored guests of Liwan Village
In front of a roadside bun shop in Liwan Village, an ochre-red carriage came to a steady stop.
The coachman in the carriage dismounted and came to the bun shop.
"Objectively, the buns are sold out today, please come back tomorrow." Seeing the visitor, the owner of the bun shop who was packing up said to the carriage driver with a smile.
The coachman said with a warm face, "Boss, ask you for directions, is there a high rock pond in this pear bay?" ”
The steamed bun boss's eyes fell curiously towards the carriage.
The curtains in the car were opened, revealing Ling Yunyi's heroic and calm face.
The owner of the bun shop glanced at the man in the carriage, then pointed ahead, "Cross the intersection ahead and go to the right dirt road, and follow the road along the waterfront until you see a very high rock." ”
The coachman thanked him and immediately got on his horse and hurried away.
The carriage followed the water's edge and soon arrived at the place pointed out by the owner of the bun shop.
Ling Yunyi got out of the carriage, the coachman guarded the carriage, and Ling Yunyi walked alone towards the thatched hut in front of the high mountain cliff.
The door of the thatched hut was open, and Ling Yunyi didn't go in directly, but stood in front of the thatched hut and asked the door, "Is there anyone in the house?" ”
The woman sitting on the chair in the room was startled, and slowly turned her head, and at the door, a man dressed in black came slowly, and under the sun, the copper-skinned face appeared familiarly.
"Lingyun Wing!?" Lu Mei looked at Ling Yunyi from outside in surprise, "You can really find it." ”
"It seems that you still have a little conscience and haven't forgotten me." Ling Yunyi had a smile in his tone.
Lu Mei frowned slightly and said, "It's an old man, how can you not see it when you come." ”
Ling Yunyi slowly approached Lu Mei, sat down on the chair, and smiled, "We haven't seen each other for a long time, don't you miss me too?" ”
At this point, Lu Mei did not answer whether she really missed it, but only pursed her lips and smiled vaguely.
When Lu Mei poured tea for Ling Yunyi, Ling Yunyi's eyes kept staring at her. The woman's face is still so charming, and the trance years have not left traces of the task on her face.
Ling Yunyi watched Lu Mei put the teacup in front of him, and said lightly, "What is the purpose of your coming here?" ”
In Ling Yunyi's heart, he didn't seem to believe that the woman in front of him was really here to see him.
Lumei paused slightly, and then said with a smile: "Could it be that I can't come to see you?" ”
Ling Yunyi looked at Lu Mei and said seriously, "You, I don't know yet, I don't have a purpose, you will come from Mongolia?" ”
Lu Mei hesitated a little, but then smiled at the corner of her mouth, raised her hand and said, "Drink tea." ”
————————————
When Liu Piaoyi arrived at Liwan Village, Su Qingshan was followed by him.
Yes, it was Su Qingshan who was with Liu Piao, and it was Su Qingshan who sent the letter from the dart this morning. What I saw on the street was also Su Qingshan.
She went out of her way to hang out, just to get out.
Ling Xinan suddenly appeared, and Liu Piaoyi had no choice but to send him away, and after a few light words, he said that he was going home. Ling Xinan couldn't afford to be cheeky and stay and say a few more words, so she had to watch her go.
But Ling Xinan kept in her head what Liu Piaoyi was patrolling in the crowd on the street at that time, curious about her thoughts, and felt that something was going on, so she quietly followed.
To Ling Xinan's surprise, Liu Piaoyi did not go home, but let Chunlin go back by herself. Then the woman went out of the city alone, such a strange appearance, Ling Xinan was really surprised, thinking that something must be wrong, so he followed from afar.
After leaving the city gate, Su Qingshan waited in the woods, Liu Piaoyi and Su Qingshan met, and the two whispered something to each other.
Ling Xinan couldn't hear it clearly from a distance, but Liu Piaoyi's mysterious behavior made him very curious, so he continued to follow.
At the entrance of the village, Liu Piaoyi was fascinated by a group of girls kicking shuttlecocks, and the three girls kicked the shuttlecock and had a good time, not even looking at strangers. The three girls are light, and the colorful shuttlecocks rise and fall, but none of them fall, and they are very skilled.
Ling Xinan was still far away, not approaching her, and didn't want to go and ask for clarification.
His eyes kept falling on Liu Piaoyi's body, and he saw that she was looking at the girls who kicked the shuttlecock very seriously.
Liu Piaoyi felt that these girls should be practicing acting, like those who run the rivers and lakes to perform their arts, the shuttlecock is indeed very good, without a certain foundation training, how can they kick such tricks.
The villagers gathered around the girls were so happy to see it, even if it was just an exercise, it was like a feast for the eyes of the villagers.
Just as Liu Piaoji was looking at the girls, he suddenly saw the villagers' expressions panicked, and they all stepped aside, looking in one direction with an uneasy expression.
At this time, Su Qingshan, who was beside him, pulled a handful of willow memories and took her to the villagers.
Only then did Liu Piaoyi find that a group of people had come to the avenue at the entrance of the village, and several of them were conspicuously dressed in brocade clothes. The brocade guards guarded the people in front of them, and Liu Piaoyi could see at a glance that it was the emperor, and there was ...... Brief repair.
The emperor was just wearing a gorgeous dress, and Jian Xiu did not wear the iconic brocade guard uniform, but a civilian dress. There was also a eunuch Zhou An, who was dressed in civilian clothes, who was next to the emperor.
Seeing Jian Xiu and seeing the emperor, Liu Piaomei held his breath and immediately turned his face to the side, lowered his head and blended in with the villagers, afraid of being discovered.
The cold wind blew the simple cloak and hunted and flew away. He was intent on protecting the emperor's safety, but he just glanced at the villagers, and the group passed by the intersection.
Liu Piaomei breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately he was not discovered.
What did the emperor do in this Liwan Village? Liu Piaoyi was very curious, and said to Su Qingshan, "Let's go and have a look." ”
Su Qingshan coughed lightly and said seriously: "Are you sure to go now?" ”
Liu Piao glanced at Su Qingshan, and had already followed the back of Jinyiwei. Su Qingshan had no choice but to go with him.
After following the Jinyiwei's team for a long time, they saw the emperor and Jian Xiu enter a garden, a large flower garden surrounded by wooden railings. The guards stayed outside the garden and did not enter, but they guarded the gate to the death.
Liu Piaoyi and Su Qingshan hid behind a mountain rock where they could hide, and observed for a while.
Inside a wooden house in a flower garden.
When the emperor, Jian Xiu, and Zhou An appeared in front of the village woman and Bai Lan, the village woman looked suspicious and looked at the three of them, "What are you here for?" But come and buy flowers? ”
The Emperor glanced at the woman who was cautiously questioning, but then kept his gaze on Bai Lan.
Zhou An glanced at Bai Lan and smiled, "Does the girl still recognize me?" ”
Jian Xiu looked at the mother and daughter, her eyes were like a deep abyss, and she couldn't see her emotions.
The village woman was a little frightened, obviously the identity of the visitor was not ordinary, when Zhou An asked, she replied on behalf of Bai Lan, "I know, the guest officer came to the flower garden a few days ago to sit for a while. ”
Zhou An and Bai Lan looked at each other before smiling and saying to the village woman, "The woman has good eyesight, and the master here today is here to taste the soup made by Miss Bai Lan." ”
The emperor kept staring at Bai Lan, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Miss Bai Lan is willing?" Can you let me try it below? ”
Jian Xiu paid attention to Bai Lan's expression, saw that her face was a little helpless, and said lightly: "Okay, the guest official came to visit on purpose, Bai Lan is a hospitality, everyone sit down for a while, Bai Lan will do it." ”
Bai Lan glanced at Jian Xiu after speaking, and was taken aback by his cold momentum, and walked into the back kitchen from the three of him with some forced composure.
When a villager saw a nobleman with an obvious identity, Jian Xiu's reaction to Bai Lan was normal.
Outside the flower garden, Liu Piaoyi watched for a while, Su Qingshan asked her that she should leave, Liu Piaoyi listened to his words and walked in the other direction with him.
Su Qingshan purposefully and directionally took Liu Piaoyi to the direction of the pond.
Liu Piaoyi's expression was a little calm, and he hurriedly followed behind Su Qingshan, for today's purpose, he frowned and looked at Su Qingshan who was walking one step ahead, and Liu Piaoyi called him.
Su Qingshan turned around, "What's the matter, Miss Liu?" ”
"Are you sure?" Liu Piao's face was full of suspicion, and he was a little uneasy in his heart.
Su Qingshan said calmly, "Miss Liu, don't worry, this news is accurate, Ling Yunyi came to Liwan today to meet the person who has dealings with him and fornicates with other countries." If Miss Liu wants to bring down Ling Yunyi, this evidence must be in hand. ”
Liu Piao thought for a moment and ordered Su Qingshan to continue walking.
There are clearly several footprints of different sizes on the shore path along the pond. Looking at the footprints, Su Qingshan's face was very sure, and he whispered to Liu Piao, "It's just ahead." ”
Liu Piaoyi was a little apprehensive in his heart, nervousness was inevitable, he had never been in a sober state, and he was still so bold, he was not afraid that the other party was the secretary of the military department.
Before I got to the gate of the courtyard, I heard a terrible scream coming from the courtyard. The voices rang out one after another, and they were very poignant. Liu Piao's heart tightened, she was bold and didn't care about anything, walked a few steps quickly, and when she walked to the gate of the courtyard and looked inside, she was stunned!
How...... How so!
In the courtyard, there was a striking red, the color of blood.
Su Qingshan ran in front of her quickly, blocking Liu Piaoyi with her body, as if she was afraid that someone would hurt her.
Liu Piaoyi pushed Su Qingshan away with his hand and glanced at this place in surprise.
She saw a woman hanging upside down from a tree, blood gushing out of her mouth, staining a large patch of masonry below. Her hands clutched wildly in the air, and a miserable wail emanated from her blood-stained lips.
There was no movement other than the woman hanging from the tree.
Liu Piao's eyes were a little red, and despite all this, he ran to the bottom of the tree and immediately called Su Qingshan, "Save people." ”
"Yes, yes, yes." Su Qingshan's face was also a little trance-like, there was a complicated look in his eyes, and after looking around, he immediately jumped onto the tree and untied the rope that bound the woman.
Liu Piaoyi stretched out his hands to catch the woman, and fell to the ground together. The woman kept vomiting blood in her mouth, unable to speak, and dying.
Liu Piaoyi, who had not lost his mind and was not frightened to the point of losing his mind, immediately yelled at Su Qingshan, "Look for it, the murderer must still be nearby." ”
Su Qingshan suddenly came back to his senses, immediately rushed into the house to inspect it, and then ran away again, probably around the house to find it.
"Sister, sister, what's wrong with you?" Liu Piaoyi whispered to the woman she was holding in her arms, flustered and at a loss?
"Ah...... Kill! Suddenly, a scream of fear and fear came from behind Liu Piaomei.
