Chapter 142: The soldiers are divided into two ways
Xiang Lu decided to find out the location of the mountain in the painting, so Xiang Lu found Wen Jun and said, "Madam, I'm afraid the place where the landscape in the painting is located will be entrusted to you." ”
Wen Jun said: "Where am I going to find it?" ”
Xiang Lu smiled and said: "Mrs. Wu said that his husband never goes far away, you just need to search Taiyuan Mansion." ”
"Taiyuan Mansion is not small!" Wen Jun thought to herself: Damn Sima Xianglu, let me do such a chore.
When Princess Taiping heard this, she thought: So Wenjun has to be outside for a month, and it is not convenient for herself.
So, the princess said solemnly: "Wenjun, for the sake of the queen of heaven, how dare you refuse?" ”
Wen Jun looked at Princess Taiping and knew that she didn't have any good intentions, but she could only say, "Wen Jun obeys." ”
The relationship between Xiang Lu and Wen Jun is getting weaker and weaker, and there is a tendency to quarrel.
At night, Xiang Lu wanted to go to Wenjun's room, but was stopped by Princess Taiping and said, "Childe, you haven't thanked me yet?" Why don't you accompany me to enjoy the flowers and the moon! ”
Xiang Lu had to obey the order and accompanied Princess Taiping in the garden for one night.
Wen Jun lay on the bed, waited for Xiang Lu to come, and said, "Bastard! Are you really tired of my body, men are really not a good thing. With that, he threw the pillow against the door, made a "clang" sound, and then lay down again, rolled over to his side, and fell asleep with a huff.
The next day, Wen Jun set off with black eyes and the officers and soldiers, and Xiang Lu saw her off in the back, Wen Jun pouted angrily, ignored him and headed west.
Xiang Lu thought to herself: Wenjun is naturally fun-loving, and now she can not only travel in the mountains and rivers, but also solve cases and make meritorious contributions, which is quite suitable for her. I have to act, I have to disguise myself and infiltrate the people. Staying in the mansion is not conducive to solving the case, and second, it will be threatened by Princess Taiping.
So, Xiang Lu secretly changed into civilian clothes and infiltrated the people, constantly looking for information related to demon fire.
Princess Taiping knew that Wenjun had left, so she hurriedly came to find Xiang Lu, and after looking for a long time, Xiang Lu had no shadow at all, so angry that Taiping pushed Xiang Lu's book to the ground, and said: "Sima Xianglu, you wait for this princess." ”
Xiang Lu decided to explore the village by the lake, so he went to the first village; Lake Village.
Xiang Lu approached the lake, and found that the strong pungent smell of that day had almost disappeared, Xiang Lu Xiang looked carefully in the lake, and found that there were some black things floating on the lake. Xiang Lu picked up a puddle of water with his hand and found that there were indeed a lot of impurities in the water. Xiang Lu thought to himself: What are the impurities in the water? Whether it has something to do with demon fire.
"Don't go near that lake, there are youkai in the lake!" An old man's voice came from behind.
Xiang Lu turned his head and got up and said, "Old man, why do you say this?" The world is peaceful, how can there be any monsters? ”
"People say that the demon queen is in charge, attracting monsters to guard the four directions for her."
"Old man, this is disrespectful, don't say it casually!"
"I said that since the reign of Empress Wu, this lake has somehow happened, there are always demon fires appearing, so that everyone does not dare to go to the lake to fish, a few days ago, people were burned to death!"
Xiang Lu saw that the old man looked angry, and he also knew that he might have lived here for generations, and now such a strange thing happened, and he was very unhappy in his heart.
"Old man, can you tell me in detail about the process of the appearance of the demon fire!"
"Then you have to ask Wang Ergou in the west of the village, he once saw the whole process of the spread of the demon fire when he went up the mountain to collect firewood."
I thanked the old man to Lu and went to find Wang Ergou to find out the beginning and end of the demon fire.
When Xiang Lu arrived at the west of the village, he saw a lazy man sleeping on his back in the courtyard, snoring loudly.
Xiang Lu looked at him and knew that he must be Wang Ergou, so he entered the broken courtyard, stood in front of him, and said, "Wang Ergou, wake up!" ”
Wang Ergou slept soundly and did not respond.
Xiang Lu kicked him awake, and Wang Ergou said angrily: "What is that bastard doing? ”
Xiang Lu stretched out his hand and took out a piece of silver, and said, "Send money." ”
Wang Ergou looked at it, his eyes straightened, and he said: "Good kick, good kick, please kick a few more times!"
Seeing that Wang Ergou had received the money, he began to ask Lu.
