Chapter 57: It's Cold

Murong Ke picked up the scimitar, walked to Xing Tian's side, and showed the mark to Xing Tian.

"Senior, you are well-informed, do you know what this mark means?"

Xing Tian stretched out his hand and groped for the mark, and said slowly: "The largest metallurgical industry in my Great Xia Kingdom is all government-run and government-run, and the iron tools that come out of the government-run smelter have a unified mark, that is, the year name.

At the same time, private ironmaking in the territory of the Great Xia Kingdom was also widespread, but it was small in scale and scattered. So, based on this mark alone, I can't tell where it came from. ”

"It seems that we can only spread it out and check it one place at a time." Su Yu sighed.

If you check one by one, it is not impossible to find it, but the amount of work is too large. And since they were able to secretly provide weapons to Xiyi, they themselves must be extremely secretive.

Murong Ke and Su Yu also felt a little tricky.

What's even more tricky is that even if he expended a lot of energy to find evidence of Wang Zhen's treason and collaboration with the enemy, it would still be difficult to bring him to justice without the support of Emperor Xia Xian. The three thousand unjust souls of Zephyr City are still not appeased.

At this time, Ye Lan'er shouted violently.

"I remember!"

"What do you remember?" Su Yu asked with a frown.

"I know where I've seen this mark!"

Everyone looked at Ye Lan'er in disbelief.

Ye Lan'er said with some excitement: "Su Yu! Do you remember that time when I was kidnapped by Steward Cui of the Prince's Mansion? ”

Su Yu nodded.

"Before that, I went to the Forgotten Immortal Tower. There's a guy on the Forgotten Immortal Tower, and that, ahem, is a bad guy...... So I took his purse and folding fan. There is such a mark on his folding fan! ”

Murong Ke didn't expect such a coincidence: "Are you sure?" ”

"Sure, sure, and sure! The fan is now in the confinement room of the palace, the courtyard where I live. You can send someone to fetch it now, tell Cuihuan, let her find it, and you'll find it! ”

Su Yu immediately sent out a secret guard and ordered to go down.

Murong Ke then asked, "Then can you remember the appearance of the owner of the folding fan?" ”

Ye Lan'er smiled: "Not only do I remember his appearance, but I also know his name and official position!"

Cabinet Attendant Bachelor Meng Gui! ”

That day, Ye Lan'er made fun of this person's name in her heart, saying that his mother gave birth to him when she dreamed of a turtle. This simple and ridiculous little association actually helped Ye Lan'er remember the name of this key person.

"Cabinet Attendant Bachelor Meng Gui?" Murong Ke repeated, and this person's information quickly flashed in his mind.

Thirty-five years old, a fourth-grade civil official, not reused, and inconspicuous in Beijing. But! He and Wang Zhen are fellow villagers, both from Jiangxi!

Murong Ke was a little excited, and he looked at Ye Lan'er with burning eyes.

Ye Lan'er had a praising expression on her face.

However, I heard Murong Ke ask, "Are you stealing again?" ”

Ye Lan'er touched her nose: "I'm doing it for the heavens......"

Feeling Murong Ke's awe-inspiring gaze, Ye Lan'er felt that she had returned to Ye Feng's side.

"That...... It's so boring, I'll go out for a walk, hehe......" Ye Lan'er grinned and was about to leave, and then remembered that the old emperor wanted his own life, and immediately stopped his steps.

Su Yu grimaced: "Cowardly? Don't worry, the saint said to reward him for the prince's shock, and the prince has saved your life. ”

"Really?!" Ye Lan'er's face was full of surprise.

"That's still fake."

Ye Lan'er looked at Murong Ke with bright eyes, and suddenly thought of a question: "Then, what about Lin Xun, how is he?" ”

Murong Ke didn't answer her, but stood up and walked straight out.

Ye Lan'er looked at Su Yu, and Su Yu spread her hands and said that she didn't know.

Ye Lan'er had no choice but to lift the hem of her clothes and walked out a little awkwardly behind Murong Ke.

Out of the big tent, Ye Lan'er didn't dare to speak loudly, so she had to grab Murong Ke's sleeve, almost sticking to his body, and asked in a low voice: "Is there anything wrong with Lin Xun, why don't you say it." ”

"If you ask me, do I have to say it?" Murong Ke replied awkwardly and continued to walk forward.

Ye Lan'er was worried about Lin Xun in her heart, and opened her arms to block in front of Murong Ke.

"If you don't tell me, you won't be allowed to leave!"

Murong Ke didn't blink his eyelids, reached out and grabbed Ye Lan'er's belt, stepped a little, and flew up with her in the air.

Ye Lan'er resisted the urge to scream, and was led by Murong Ke all the way to the dense forest more than a mile away from the camp.

With no one around, Ye Lan'er could finally speak: "Can you talk now?" He won't be executed by the emperor, will he? Didn't you ask the emperor to let him go? ”

"Why did I ask the emperor to release him?"

"Don't you all beg the emperor to let me go, why can't you beg one more to let him go!"

"You're not like him."

"How is it different? Oh yes, I'm useful to you. But Lin Xun's martial arts are so good, they must also be of great use, if you don't save him, you will regret it! ”

Murong Ke choked.

It turned out that she had always thought like this.

Something that he had been excited to almost boil out slowly sank.

He loosened Ye Lan'er's belt and turned to walk back.

"Hey! How did you go? Ye Lan'er shouted behind her.

"Hey, you're waiting for me!" Ye Lan'er carried her clothes, trotted briskly and continued to stop in front of Murong Ke.

She walked backwards, and she didn't stop: "What happened to Lin Xun?" ”

"How's it going?"

"How's it going?"

Murong Ke sighed: "I can't die." ”

"Really?"

Murong Ke nodded.

"Lord Wang, you are amazing!" Ye Lan'er cheered and jumped and hugged Murong Ke.

Murong Ke didn't expect Ye Lan'er to have such a bold move, and in addition to being surprised, he lost his balance for a while.

He staggered forward two steps, and then stepped into the air, and the whole person and Ye Lan'er fell down sharply.

Ye Lan'er felt like she had been suddenly thrown into a falling roller coaster, and her heart was in her throat.

They had been falling for a long time, and if it weren't for Murong Ke's urgency to pull out the sword he was wearing and stab into the stone wall to resist the sliding force, it was estimated that they would all fall into flesh.

The two fell to the ground, and it turned out that they had fallen into a gourd-shaped hole in the earth.

The entrance is very small, but the space inside is very large.

Not far from where they fell was a waterhole, which was dark and dark, and I don't know how deep it was.

In the process of falling, Murong Ke consciously used her body to protect Ye Lan'er, so she was now lying on her chest, her hair scattered.

Murong Ke straightened up and straightened Ye Lan'er.

"Ye Lan'er! Ye Lan'er! Murong Ke patted her face.

Ye Lan'er's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes.

She looked up at the sky, then at the cave, "Oh my God, we've fallen into the pit?" This is too bad, isn't it? ”

"My God, the entrance of the cave is so high, Lord Wang, with your light skills, carrying me, can you fly out?"

"No, the hole is too small, even if you can fly out, you can't get out!"

"How did we fall in! Hey, come to think of it, it's all because of me! Woe to me! Idiot! Ye Lan'er slapped her head.

At this time, Ye Lan'er suddenly found that from beginning to end, she hadn't heard Murong Ke say a word.

She looked at the stunned Murong Ke and felt that it was very unusual.

Since the crossing, I have never seen Murong Ke have such a sluggish expression.

"Lord Wang, what's wrong with you?"

"What are you looking at?"

Murong Ke heard Ye Lan'er's question, narrowed his gaze, and swallowed lightly.

Ye Lan'er lowered her head and saw that her belt had all spread out at some point, and the placket was open, revealing a large area of skin. My A CUP is a little out of breath, and I want to breathe.

It turned out that Murong Ke was staring at himself just now?

Depend on! Stinky man!

Ye Lan'er glared at Murong Ke fiercely, and quickly sorted out her clothes.

The light in the cave was very dim, and they couldn't see each other's expressions clearly, so Murong Ke stood up under this protective light and walked along the four walls of the cave to check.

A sanctimonious pervert!

Ye Lan'er looked at Murong Ke's back as he left, and rolled her eyes viciously.

The cavern looks old, like part of a large underground cavern. As Murong Ke walked, he found a narrow passage leading to something else.

The passage was hidden behind a stone, and it was very narrow. An adult can barely move forward on his knees.

The passage was pitch black, and he didn't know where it led, but Murong Ke could feel the faint air flow at the entrance of the cave with bated breath.

The stone walls are covered with slippery moss, and there are a few fruit trees in the slightly thicker soil. Other than that, the cavern was empty.

There is no place to climb to the top of the cave.

Either climb out, or you can only wait for Su Yu and them to come and find themselves.

Murong Ke sighed.

With what happened just now, to be honest, he didn't want to be alone with Ye Lan'er at all.

"Ahh

A scream.

Then Murong Ke heard the sound of water, and then saw the splash in the pool, Ye Lan'er was struggling desperately.

Murong Ke's heart tightened, he kicked hard under his feet, jumped over the waterhole and flew over, grabbed Ye Lan'er's hand, and pulled her out of the waterhole.

Ye Lan'er was soaked and trembling and lay on the ground.

"There's something in the water! There's something in the water! She looked at Murong Ke in horror.

Murong Ke helped her up: "What is it?" Did you see it clearly? ”

"Nope! But there was a hand that grabbed my feet and dragged me down! One hand, really! The more Ye Lan'er thought about it, the more frightened she became, and she didn't dare to look at the waterhole at all.

The waterhole in the cave was only three or four zhang in size, and it was calm and waveless at this time, as if it was silently protesting against Ye Lan'er's slander.

Murong Ke saw that Ye Lan'er was trembling violently, took her hand and walked to the side away from the waterhole and helped her sit down.

The cave is damp, and almost all sides are cold and hard rocks, and the cold is very heavy.

Ye Lan'er, who was soaking wet, felt the cold and biting, and couldn't help her teeth chatter.

Fortunately, Murong Ke was by her side, snuggling up to him, feeling a little warm.

Murong Ke looked at the calm Hantan, and reached out to stroke Ye Lan'er's back: "I'm here." ”

Hearing these three simple words, Ye Lan'er's flustered heart magically calmed down.

"When can we get out?"

"It's coming. Wait. ”

"Okay......" Ye Lan'er felt Murong Ke's wide and warm palm caressing her back, warm, reassuring, and fell asleep in a daze.

Murong Ke put her body down and rested his head on his lap, waiting for her to recover.

But after a while, not only did Ye Lan'er show no signs of improvement, but she actually began to babble, and her face became ugly.

Murong Ke stretched out his hand and touched her forehead, it was scary.

In fact, Ye Lan'er had already launched a high fever. She was in pain all over, and she began to twist her body uncomfortably, she seemed to be awake, and she didn't seem to be awake, climbing Murong Ke's legs, and kept drilling into his arms.

"It's cold." She said.
