Yun Liang stood in front of a door on the second floor and knocked lightly, "Young Master, have you rested?" ”

A lazy-sounding voice came from inside the room, "What's the matter?" ”

"Young Master, His Royal Highness the King of Linchuan and Her Royal Highness the Princess are here."

There was silence for a moment, then there was a crackling sound, and then the door was opened.

After the door opened, a handsome man appeared, he leaned lazily on the door frame, looking at Su Qingmo behind Yun Liang with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

After a sight that could not be ignored floated over, Pei Lin noticed the person behind Su Qingmo, and hurriedly straightened up, "Under Pei Lin, I have seen the prince." ”

Mu Yuanjing said softly, "No need to be polite. ”

Pei Lin introduced Su Qingmo and Mu Yuanjing into the room, and several other people waited outside.

He placed two cups of hot tea in front of the two of them.

Su Qingmo picked up the teacup and took a sip before introducing Mu Yuanjing: "Lord Wang, this is my cousin, Pei Lin." ”

Pei Lin said: "I don't know why the prince and the princess came to Qingshui Town late at night?" ”

"Looking for you."

Pei Lin didn't know what Mu Yuanjing meant, and was about to ask, when he heard Su Qingmo say: "The prince and I happened to be out today, and I happened to receive your letter, so the prince decided to take me to find you." ”

Pei Lin raised his eyebrows slightly, but did not make a sound.

Su Qingmo then asked, "You said in your letter that you are looking for me urgently, what is the matter?" ”

Pei Lin didn't say anything specific, but asked first: "Have there been strange things around you recently?" ”

Su Qingmo thought about it carefully and shook his head.

Mu Yuanjing said on the side at this time: "When the princess is by the king's side, the king will always see something. ”

Pei Lin asked Su Qingmo with his eyes.

Su Qingmo admitted: "The prince knows about you and me, and the prince also knows about the affairs of the Su family, cousin, I will talk to you directly today." The prince is the person I want to entrust for life, and I believe in him. ”

Mu Yuanjing's left hand, which was hidden under the table, moved, and slowly moved, holding Su Qingmo's right hand.

Su Qingmo's words made Pei Lin's eyes glow with a real smile, "If the master hears what you say, I don't know how happy he will be." ”

After speaking, Pei Lin took out a string of bright white bracelets from his arms and put them in front of Su Qingmo, "Put it on." ”

Su Qingmo picked up the bracelet, "What is this?" ”

Pei Lin said directly: "The master has never told you that after you pass the time, your physique will change, and evil things will be forced to show up when you get close." ”

Su Qingmo didn't think this matter was serious, "Wouldn't it be better to save yourself the trouble of searching." ”

Because of the people next to him, Pei Lin controlled the fingers that wanted to play Su Qingmo's forehead, "There is no impact in a short period of time, if you still don't suppress it after a year, you will attract more and more filth, and the final outcome is that resentment gathers and dies unexpectedly." ”

After Pei Lin finished speaking, Su Qingmo finally realized the seriousness of the matter, "Then this bracelet is..."

"It was given to you by the master, and I was going to give it to you as a gift, but it was delayed, so I asked me to send it to you."

Su Qingmo put the bracelet on, with a smile in his eyebrows, "Thank you for me when I go back." ”

Pei Lin glanced at her, "Who said I was going back?" The master asked me to stay with you until the end of next year. ”

Mu Yuanjing, who had never said anything, asked, "Why?" ”

Pei Lin hesitated for a long time, and decided to tell the truth, "The master has calculated that Qingmo will encounter a catastrophe of life and death next year." ”

And nine deaths, he didn't dare to say this.

Mu Yuanjing saw the solemnity implied in his face, and made a decision immediately, "This king will arrange it, and after a day of rest, you will go back with this king." ”

After sending the bracelet out, Pei Lin pretended to be sleepy, Mu Yuanjing said goodbye in time, Pei Lin sent the two away, and lay on the bed in a daze for a long time before falling asleep, Mu Yuanjing and Su Qingmo also rested after returning to the room.

On the second day, when Su Qingmo opened his eyes, he saw that there were three people in the room besides her and Mu Yuanjing.

Three ghosts, to be exact.

Su Qingmo was a little surprised, "Why do you dare to come out during the day?" ”

An Lan smiled, "It's only for a while, it's okay." ”

"Is something wrong?"

An Lan glanced at the boy who was controlled by Ning Xi, "He left the Soul Jade last night. ”

Mu Yuanjing's eyes sharpened, "Where did you go?" ”

An Lan's shoulders shrunk, she was still a little afraid of Mu Yuanjing, so Ning Xi stepped forward and said, "We followed after he left last night and found that he went to a family in the town. ”

Mu Yuanjing looked at the boy, "What did you do?" ”

The boy was still dazed, he shook his head, "I didn't do anything, I just felt familiar with that family, so I wanted to go and see it." ”

Mu Yuanjing then asked what he had always wanted to ask, "The people who disappeared in the broken temple, do you know where they have gone?" ”

The boy then shook his head.

"If you don't tell the truth, no one will help you anymore."

Now the boy panicked, and he said a little eagerly: "I really don't know, there is a statue of a ghost in that temple, and I don't dare to enter it on weekdays." ”

Mu Yuanjing's eyebrows furrowed slightly, "How did you get on Wei Xu's body before?" ”

Wei Xu didn't know who the boy was, but he remembered the people who had been on the body recently.

"That brother picked up a small nuclear carving pendant outside before entering the temple, and the nuclear carving pendant was mine, and I was attached to it to enter the temple."

After the boy finished speaking, Mu Yuanjing did not continue to ask, but said to Ning Xi and An Lan beside the boy: "Do you remember where that family lives?" ”

Ning Xi nodded, "Yes." ”

Mu Yuanjing looked at Su Qingmo, and Su Qingmo understood: "Can you guide us at night?" ”

This is not a difficult matter, Ning Xi and An Lan easily agreed.

Although it was not yet noon, it was not good for the three people who had become soul bodies to stay outside for too long, so after explaining the matter, the three of them disappeared in place and floated into the soul jade.

There was nothing to do during the day, Mu Yuanjing took Su Qingmo to the street for a stroll, looked at the juggling on the street, and the time flickered into the evening.

Su Qingmo called out An Lan and Ning Xi, in order not to cause alarm, she was held in Mu Yuanjing's arms, Mu Yuanjing ran light exercises, and rushed to a house in the west of Qingshui Town under the leadership of the two.

During the day, Pei Lin knew about this, and then he followed behind.

On the way, Wei Xu asked Pei Lindao: "You and the princess studied under one person?" ”

Pei Lin replied in the affirmative, "Naturally." ”

Wei Xu continued to ask, "Who is more powerful, the princess or you?" ”

Pei Lin didn't say anything more, and Wei Xu asked casually, since the other party didn't answer, he didn't ask anymore.

Several people crossed several streets to a dark alley, and Ning Xi pointed to the innermost of the four families in the dark alley, "This is this." ”

Su Qingmo nodded, "You guys go back." ”

An Lan nodded at Su Qingmo, and then returned to the soul jade in Su Qingmo's bag with Ning Xi.

With Pei Lin here, he naturally didn't need Su Qingmo to make a move.

He walked silently at his feet, stood in front of the dark gate, pinched his hand between his forehead, and then closed his eyes and stood still.

Su Qingmo explained in a low voice: "My cousin opened his eyes to heaven, and he was looking to see if there were any unclean things in that family's house. ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Pei Lin walked over, and he shook his head at a few people, "There's nothing strange about it, it's very clean inside." ”

Mu Yuanjing gestured to Wei Xu with his eyes, only to see Wei Xu turn over and enter the courtyard lightly, since he was waiting with bated breath, but after a while, Wei Xu turned out again.

Mu Yuanjing looked at him, "How is it?" ”

Wei Xu whispered: "There are four families, two husband and wife, and a pair of children who look the same age as that child." ”

Mu Yuanjing had no choice but to say, "Go back and discuss." ”

A few people returned to the inn as they came, and when they entered the room, Su Qingmo got down from Mu Yuanjing's body, poured hot tea and sent it to the hands of the three men.

Wei Xu was a little flattered, "Thank you, princess." ”

Pei Lin took a sip of tea and said for Su Qingmo: "Are you sure that child has a relationship with that family?" ”

When Pei Lin asked, Su Qingmo was also a little vague, but thinking of the boy's behavior, she affirmed: "It must be related, otherwise how would he feel familiar, and how would he recognize the way." ”

Her words were not unreasonable, and Pei Lin silently agreed.

At this time, Mu Yuanjing instructed Wei Xu: "Tomorrow you will find a way to lure the children of that family out of the door." ”

Su Qingmo looked at him, "What can the prince do?" ”

"Even if the child is young, there are some things that adults can't remember but the child may not be able to forget, so let's start with the child."

Su Qingmo understood what he meant, "The prince wants to contact the children first and see if he can get some clues from them?" ”

The group discussed the time of the tea again, and after finally making a plan, they returned to their respective rooms to rest.

Because there were many things that needed to be deployed, several people got up early the next day, and Wei Xu arranged for someone to take away the children's parents according to Mu Yuanjing's plan, and then led the two children to the street.

At this time, it was Su Qingmo's turn to appear, she first walked on the street, and then pretended to inadvertently knock down the two children, in order to apologize, she bought snacks and gave them to the two.

The children were attracted by the food, Su Qingmo half-squatted in front of the two, and slowly led the topic and asked, "Can you tell my sister what your name is?" ”

The two children glanced at each other, and under Su Qingmo's soft eyes, the boy took the lead in replying, "My name is Amu." ”

When the girl saw her brother answering, she hurriedly answered, "My name is Xiaohua." ”

Su Qingmo lowered his voice and chatted with them, feeling that it was almost over, so he asked, "Are there only two of you children at home?" ”

Amu, who was originally eating, glanced at Su Qingmo with some caution and did not make a sound.

There were two cute buds on the head of the small flower on the side, and just as he was about to speak, his brother covered his mouth, and a wooden pendant slipped out of the placket of his clothes during the struggle.

Su Qingmo's eyes moved, and she quietly pointed to the wooden pendant around Xiaohua's neck, "This pendant is so beautiful." ”

Xiaohua proudly puffed up her little chest, "This is what Daddy made for me and my brother." ”

Su Qingmo looked at Amu, "Do you have it too?" ”

The vigilance in Amu's eyes had not disappeared, but under Su Qingmo's gaze, he still slowly pulled out a wooden pendant that was the same as Xiaohua's neck from the placket.

Su Qingmo looked at it carefully and determined that the wooden pendant around the necks of the two was the same as the nuclear carved wooden pendant that Wei Xu picked up outside the temple.

She still remembered that when Wei Xu handed over the nuclear carved wooden pendant to herself, she saw the blood stains remaining on it.

"The wooden pendant is so beautiful, can I buy a few from your father?"

Without waiting for Amu to speak, Xiaohua hurriedly shook her head, "Sister, no, Daddy only made three." ”

Su Qingmo's heart beat wildly, and he was about to ask, when he heard a woman's voice behind him, "Amu, Xiaohua, why did you run out?" ”

As the woman's words landed, Su Qingmo clearly felt that Amu and Xiaohua's bodies stiffened for a moment.

She stood up and turned to look at the person behind her.

There was a woman standing not far away, she was dressed in a dark blue cloth dress, her hair was neatly pulled up, seeing Su Qingmo looking over, the corner of the woman's mouth pursed a smile, and she said a little uneasily: "Girl, if my children collide with your place, I am here to make amends to you." ”

The smile on her lips was soft, making her look like she was very easy to get along with.

Su Qingmo shook his head, "No." ”

Amu and Xiaohua next to him stopped eating, and Amu picked up Xiaohua and explained: "Mother, just now my sister and I accidentally bumped into my sister." ”

As soon as her brother's words fell, Xiaohua nodded very obediently, "Sister didn't blame us, and invited us to eat delicious food." ”

The woman secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, she looked at the appearance of the woman not far away, and felt that she was not an ordinary person, and if she was offended, she didn't know what trouble she would cause.

She beckoned to the brothers and sisters, and when the brothers and sisters came to their side, she looked at Su Qingmo and thanked them: "Thank you, girl, the child is naughty, I will take them home and stop disturbing the girl." ”

After the woman finished speaking, she left with her brother and sister.

After the woman left her sight, Su Qingmo turned around and walked back to the inn not far away.

Mu Yuanjing and Pei Lin were waiting in the inn, and after seeing Su Qingmo come in, Wei Xu couldn't wait to ask, "Did the princess ask for clues?" ”

Su Qingmo sat on the chair and then answered Wei Xu.

"Don't look at the young age of the children, but they are not small, and the clues are not easy to inquire."

Wei Xu was a little deflated.

Su Qingmo changed his words and said: "Although there is no clue, I have confirmed one thing. The boy in the temple is indeed a child of that family. ”

Pei Lin was curious: "How can my cousin be sure?" ”

Su Qingmo looked at Wei Xu, "Do you remember giving me a wooden pendant before?" ”

Mu Yuanjing's gaze turned to Wei Xu, Wei Xu only felt his back tighten, and forced himself to calm down: "The princess said that the wooden pendant that her subordinates picked up in the broken temple?" ”

Su Qingmo nodded, "That's right, that wooden pendant is a boy's thing, and it is through the wooden pendant that he can successfully get on your body and follow you into the broken temple." ”

Mu Yuanjing retracted his gaze and asked softly, "Could it be that there is something wrong with Mu Shen'er?" ”

Su Qingmo looked at him, "I saw the same wooden pendant on those two children just now, the little girl said that it was made by their father, and the number of wooden pendants was originally three. ”

Several people understood the meaning of Su Qingmo's words, that is, the boy in the broken temple was indeed the child of that family.

Now that we know where the boy came from, I have a clue about the rest.

Mu Yuanjing instructed Wei Xu: "Send someone to investigate the situation of that family as soon as possible." ”

Wei Xu was ordered to leave, and as soon as he stepped out of the threshold with his front foot, Mu Yuanjing ordered again: "Let the hidden guard bring Fang Mubei here." ”

Wei Xu retracted his feet outside the threshold and said to Mu Yuanjing: "Your subordinates obey orders." ”

After Wei Xu left, Su Qingmo was a little puzzled, "Why did the prince call Fang Yanzuo?" ”

"We can't see anything about the boy's bones, but if we hand it over to Fang Mubei, we may be able to find some clues."
