Chapter 191: See the Old Man Again
The content of the letter is clearly about Chongling Mountain.
Chongling Mountain is covered with snow all year round, and it is only in June and August that the snow melts and reveals the forest landscape below. However, this year is a bit unusual, since last month, the snow and ice at the top of the mountain have begun to melt rapidly, and in just half a month, it has melted to the mountainside, and there are many signs of early melting.
Without the nourishment of ice and snow, those purple lotuses that had been found so hard to find melted and died before they could bloom, and such an unexpected dissolution made those dark guards have no time to collect the dead branches and leaves left behind, and it was obvious that this team's mission had failed.
This letter was the last one sent back by the Dark Guard, and it was scribbled, and the situation should have reached a very urgent moment.
"Purple lotus, is that the kind of flower that can cure your blood poison?"
Su Xinyan pulled out the explanation of this word from his distant memory and asked with some surprise.
She had also heard Gu Fengjin mention it before, and the secret guards she had sent had found three purple lotuses, but because those three had not yet bloomed and had no value in medicine, she sent someone to wait on Chongling Mountain, only waiting for them to bloom and then take them back, but she didn't expect such a change to happen.
Gu Fengjin looked at the letter and muttered for a long time before saying, "Now that the situation is urgent, Xiao Su quickly go and simply sort out a few clothes, and we will set off for Chongling Mountain in the afternoon." ”
Obviously, he doesn't value his heirs as much as he did before.
Su Xinyan saw his current state of mind, and without saying much, he turned around and went back to the previous bedroom, packed a few clothes prepared by the maid into the baggage, and hurried out again.
Without much delay, everyone set off that afternoon.
General Xiao Pei rode in front, and Su Xinyan sat in the carriage behind for two hours, and then he was a little envious of the other party.
But thinking about it, although she wanted to be heroic, but when she thought of her horse skills, she silently retracted the carriage.
The carriage has a lot of space, and there are all kinds of things, at this time, Gu Fengjin was leaning on the warm couch obliquely, and stretched out his hand to beckon her, but his eyes were still looking at the books in his hand.
Su Xinyan shrank into his arms, trying to keep her eyes elsewhere, for some reason, when she got along with Gu Fengjin now, she always couldn't help but think of the previous scene and this person's performance yesterday.
In order to cover up the sudden feeling of anxiety in her heart, she forced herself to ignore the environment in which the two of them were getting along now, and looked straight at the scenery outside the window.
There was some silence in the carriage, and Su Xinyan moved a little embarrassed after a while, and then said in a low voice, "You might as well explain the situation in Chongling Mountain in detail, so that I can be a little prepared." ”
Gu Fengjin put down the book in his hand, raised his eyes, and said slowly, "Do you know why the third brother sold me this news as a favor?" ”
Seeing Su Xinyan shaking his head, he continued, "Because even his forces can't reach that place. ”
As he spoke, he sat up and answered in detail for Su Xinyan, "Chongling Mountain is located in the southwest, and that was once the power of my mother's clan, and it was also the location of the Dark Night Pavilion Altar. Our trip this time we stayed in the courtyard of the Shen family, the lord of the Dark Night Pavilion, who had moved their family to the foot of Chongling Mountain for the convenience of care. ”
Gu Fengjin told Su Xinyan as much as possible the details, hoping to dispel her strangeness to that place.
"The Shen family?"
Su Xinyan felt that this surname was somewhat familiar, but he forgot where he had heard it.
