For Lang Zhong's proposal, Yuan Xiaotian was originally a little resistant and afraid, but now the old housekeeper and Lang Zhong have pinned their hopes on him, which makes Yuan Xiaotian feel in a dilemma, Yuan Xiaotian looked at Liu Changqing, who was lying unconscious on the hospital bed, thinking about Liu Gongzi's many times of care and standing up for him in the past, Yuan Xiaotian finally had to grit his teeth and agree to Lang Zhong's request.

Before leaving, Lang Zhong explained two more sentences to Yuan Xiaotian alone, saying that if he really wanted to go to Baqiao, it would be best to bring a little rhino horn powder, which might come in handy at a critical moment.

Although Yuan Xiaotian couldn't understand Lang Zhong's intentions, since Lang Zhong could say this, he must have his reasons.

In the afternoon of the same day, the old housekeeper prepared dry food and lanterns for Yuan Xiaotian, thinking that Yuan Xiaotian might be able to use them on the Baqiao at night, and Yuan Xiaotian himself brought some freshly ground rhino horn powder and put him in his chest pocket.

When Yuan Xiaotian rode a horse to Baqiao, it was already the time of the first shift, not to mention people on the Baqiao at this time, not even half a ghost, the most worrying thing is that there is no moon tonight, except for the sparkling water with a slight reflection, it can be said that the five fingers are not visible in other places.

Yuan Xiaotian tied the horse to the stone pillar of the Baqiao, and he walked to the center of the Baqiao with a lantern, Yuan Xiaotian didn't know how long he had been standing on the Baqiao, he only felt creepy, and his stomach was rumbling, so Yuan Xiaotian wanted to take out the dry food prepared by the old housekeeper for him to fill his hunger first, and he didn't want to just when he put down his burden and was about to get the steamed buns, a strange wind blew down the lantern in his hand, the lantern was still burning, but after a while, it was completely extinguished by the bashui and washed away. Yuan Xiaotian saw that the lantern was nowhere to be found, so he thought about lighting the candle in the bag, after he groped left and right, he remembered that when he came out in the afternoon, because the old housekeeper gave him a lot of dry food, so he put the candle aside first, and when he tied the package, the candle was not put back at all, Yuan Xiaotian thought of this, and his whole body couldn't stop shivering, at this time, there were some unknown bird calls from far and near, so that Yuan Xiaotian raised his heart to his throat, he touched the fire fold on his chest, This thing is still there, Yuan Xiaotian thought to himself, he has been standing on the bridge for so long tonight, and he hasn't found anything weird, it's better to go back today, and wait until tomorrow night to take a look, Yuan Xiaotian took out the fire fold and prepared to walk towards the place where the horse was bolted, I didn't want when Yuan Xiaotian walked to the end of the bridge, he found that on the path leading to the long pavilion, there was an extra path paved with cobblestones, Yuan Xiaotian was very sure that he didn't find such a road when he came.

Yuan Xiaotian actually knew very well in his heart that if he followed this path, he might be able to find a way to rescue Liu Gongzi, but in the same way, he might also put himself in danger, and after a painful choice, Yuan Xiaotian still gritted his teeth and rushed forward.

Yuan Xiaotian didn't know how long he had been walking, and he came to a reed swing, and at this time it was already the third watch, the sky was still moonless, the wind blew the reeds and swayed, Yuan Xiaotian wrapped himself in a robe, although it was not a cold winter wax moon, but Yuan Xiaotian felt a biting cold, just when Yuan Xiaotian didn't know where to go, in the reeds not far ahead, there was a faint red light.
