Chapter 17 Handan Search

Without the carriage, they couldn't rely on Ji Liren to take Sui Ge with light skills all the way, after all, it would take a lot of physical strength to do this for a long time, so Sui Ge suggested that they go to a nearby town to ask for two horses, and by the way, wait for Yin Dongsheng's letter first.

In ancient times, communication was very underdeveloped, which once made Sui Ge very distressed. After all, such an errand as investigating a case is time-sensitive, and once important information is missed, it has a great impact on the case. Therefore, she and Yin Dongsheng found a lot of pigeons to do a lot of tests earlier, and finally selected three as their special pigeons for solving the case in Zhengzhou Mansion. These pigeons are also relatively good, and soon became familiar with Yin Dongsheng and Sui Ge, and can also understand the marks made by Sui Ge - an ordinary red rope, but Sui Ge will tie a more complex knot as a sign. It takes some time to find the song, but in this era, it is already a relatively advanced means of communication.

Finally, Ji Liren and Suige finally found a small town at the foot of the mountain after turning over a mountain, the town is called Wutong Town, which is medium-sized, and there are a little more bustling people in the town, so it is not lively.

"I'm afraid we've hit market day." Sui Ge frowned and avoided the bustling people on the road. What she doesn't like the most is that there are too many people, and they are disturbed, and it is too noisy.

Ji Liren didn't say a word, hugged the waist of the beauty, and jumped to the second floor of the teahouse on the side, which happened to fall in the stands of the private room, and there happened to be no one in this private room.

"You don't like a lot of people?" Ji Liren took off the hat on his head. Because he needed to walk most of the time, for fear of being recognized by others, he listened to Tao Ziyi's words and put on a hat.

And when she goes out with the song, she usually shows people in men's clothes, and ordinary people only think that she is a handsome son when they see her, and there are fewer unnecessary incidents than the amazing appearance of women's clothes.

Sui Ge didn't answer Ji Liren's words, but asked, "Why don't you wear a human skin/mask?" ”

She has always been amazed by Ji Liren's human skin/mask, which is very finely made, indistinguishable from the skin of a real person, and can fit people's facial expressions. The mask that Tao Ziyi pretended to be a peasant woman last time was also the same realistic, but Tao Ziyi was not as natural as Ji Liren, fortunately, the people who saw Tao Ziyi pretending to be a peasant woman that day were all mediocre people, and it was not easy to be detected if they were not carefully observed.

Ji Liren explained to Sui Ge: "Hot. "Wearing a human skin/mask is actually a hot thing, especially on a summer day. If he wasn't forced to do so, he wouldn't have put it on easily.

Ji Liren got up and walked to the door of the box, and called Xiao Er outside.

Xiao Er responded: "Come on!" Hey......" As soon as he came up, he looked at the two people in the private room in surprise, and he didn't know where these two people came from. But this little two is also clever, "Do the two guest officers want to book this private room?" ”

Ji Liren nodded, gave Xiao Er some silver, and instructed him to bring some noodles and refreshments and sent him away.

Sui Ge just tied the red rope on the sorghum outside the private room, which was not very conspicuous compared to the colorful market outside. Ji Liren walked over, looked at the lively bazaar in front of him, and asked again: "You don't like a lot of people?" ”

Sui Song walked to a recliner in the stands, lay down comfortably, closed his eyes, and said, "I don't like it." Noisy. ”

Ji Liren looked at the crowd downstairs, and then looked at Sui Ge, who was lying comfortably, walked back to the back room, picked up the hat on the table and put it on, and said, "Then you stay here and eat first, and I'll go to the post station to buy two horses and come back." ”

Just as she was about to jump out of the market, the woman on the chaise longue said lazily, "Don't buy two, I don't know how to ride horses." ”

Ji Liren looked at her speechlessly, and only shook his head for a while, and his figure disappeared in a flash.

After a while, Xiao Er served the hot dishes one by one, and according to Sui Ge's instructions, he brewed a pot of sweet chrysanthemum tea again and prepared a few pieces of osmanthus cake. Sui Ge touched his pocket and smiled playfully. Before leaving, she secretly took Yin Dongsheng's money bag, and it was estimated that he would be angry when he found out.

Halfway through lunch, a pigeon cooed into the back room and landed on the dining table. Sui Ge petted its head dotingly, picked some noodles and fed it in a small bowl, and the pigeon "cooed" a few more times and ate happily. Untie the little note tied to the pigeon's feet with the song, and finally read it to the best of his ability. The words of the ancients are really hard to recognize.

Mr. Yin said he would investigate the cottage, but fortunately it was still under his jurisdiction, albeit in the middle of nowhere. King Yu suffered a big loss because of his recklessness, Yin Dongsheng really joined him, and now he is being summoned by Dali Temple for investigation. At the end of the letter, Yin Dongsheng also added angrily: I know that you took my money bag, and I will revenge you when you come back!

Smile with the song, smile like a flower.

When Ji Liren came back, he happened to see this scene, standing outside, looking at the woman reading the letter in the house, he couldn't help but be a little stupid.

Sui Ge turned his head to see him standing like a stone Buddha, and asked strangely, "What are you doing with the pestle?" ”

Ji Liren came back to his senses, took off his hat, and asked, "Why are you so happy?" ”

Sui Ge handed the letter to Ji Liren. After Ji Liren took it, he read it carefully. During this period, Sui Ge thoughtfully helped Ji Liren prepare meals. After getting along in the past few days, the two have a surprisingly tacit understanding.

Sui Ge is actually a person who is at ease with what happens.,In the past, I occasionally partnered with unfamiliar people when I went on missions.,Everyone is for the sake of profit.,So I don't feel anything unaccustomed.。 Ji Liren is different, the first time he has been in close contact with a woman, and he washes and sleeps together, which is a challenge for him, a big challenge. It is more difficult to wash in the wilderness, and you can only wash by the stream. Ji Liren is a rough person, and it is common for the army to go to war for a few days without washing, but he is very particular about singing songs, and he is also very shameful about the behavior of the sergeant: "If you don't take a bath for a day, I will die." Therefore, Ji Liren has been looking forward to finding a more regular hotel, at least so that she can take a hot bath. But because of this, their trip was much longer than when they were just investigating with Linfeng.

Ji Liren looked at it and his expression became solemn, "They didn't find the box in the abandoned temple where Chen Da died." ”

Sui Song cut a piece of osmanthus cake, not feeling cramped at all, "Do you believe in your dead brother?" ”

Every time he talked about this topic, Ji Liren felt a heavy heart, but he almost didn't hesitate and blurted out: "Believe." ”

Sui Ge stuffed the osmanthus cake into his mouth, felt the sweetness of the fragrance, and only after swallowing it did he say slowly: "If I believe it, I should know where the box is." ”

Ji Liren looked at Sui Ge and began to understand a little why the people in the Zhengzhou Mansion admired her so much. He began to be a little jealous of Yin Dongsheng, and he found such a capable helper.

He raised his head with the song, his eyes were bright, and he smiled: "General Ji, Luoyang and Handan City, where are they closer?" ”

Ji Liren said without thinking: "Of course it's Handan." ”

"Is the general interested in breaking into the haunted mansion with me?"

"Haunted house?"

After a while, Ji Li remembered that Chen Dana's home was in Handan City.

Sui Ge didn't say anything more, and after urging Ji Liren to eat faster, he asked him to repair a letter back to Yin Dongsheng, let the pigeon fly away, loaded some tea, prepared dry food, and the two rode together, and quickly went to Handan City.

King Yu cared so much about the wooden box, and Sui Ge was really curious about what it contained.

After riding a horse for nearly a day, the two only rested for a few hours, and finally arrived outside Handan City at the end of the day. In order not to reveal their identities, they parked their horses at the post station not far from the city gate, and the two walked to the city wall on foot.

"It's so late, the gates are closed." Sui Ge muttered as he looked up at the city wall. The wall was built so high that even if you had to climb it, it would be hard not to alarm the guards. But if you don't climb into the walls, how do you get in?

Just when he hesitated with the song, Ji Liren was already holding her, tiptoe on the stone pile on the side, and with the help of some protruding stones on the outer wall, he jumped up to the city tower after a while. Sui Ge didn't know that Ji Liren's martial arts were so high at first, and now she admired the kung fu of the ancients even more.

"Can you teach me?" It's rare for the eyes of the song to be so bright, like a little starlight in them.

Ji Liren laughed deeply and said, "Okay." ”

Not far away, there was the footsteps of the guards guarding the city, Ji Liren didn't dare to stop, so he flew to the city with the beautiful woman in his arms, and stopped in a relatively dark alley.

The two walked along the deep alley for a while, and finally walked out of the street. There is no curfew in some large towns, and the night market only starts at the beginning of the year and ends around the time of the ugly, and the streets near the Green House and the Red House are usually the most lively.

Ji Liren saw from a distance that the street in the distance was still full of lights, and there were shouts of hawkers selling wine and food everywhere, and the girls in the Qinglou were all flirting with the scholars on the ground on the second floor in the stands, which could be described as very lively.

"How do we find Chen Da's house?" Ji Liren only knew that Chen Da's family was in Handan, but he had never had time to come to which one it was, so now he has no direction.

Sui Ge looked at the commotion in front of her, frowning, she really didn't like to be noisy, but now there was nothing she could do. So she pointed to a small wine stall in front of her and said, "Let's go, let's drink." ”

After the two of them sat down, Xiao Er hurriedly greeted him. With a smile on his face, he said homely to Xiao Er: "This night market in Handan is really lively." ”

The little two wiped the table and replied with a smile: "Childe must be a foreigner, and the most famous thing in our Handan City is our night market." Among the night markets in the East Market and the West Market, it is the most lively in our East Market. Childe must try our jujube wine, it is fragrant and sweet, and the taste is very good! ”

Sui Ge also replied with a smile: "Then come two pots, and serve a few side dishes by the way." With that, she handed a few pieces of broken silver to Xiao Er, and whispered, "Don't let your shopkeeper know." ”

After Xiao Ermei thanked him with a smile, he carefully put away the silver and took the wine neatly.

Ji Liren knew what Sui Ge must have planned, so he didn't say anything, so he sat quietly without glancing at those beautiful Qinglou sisters.

Sui Ge looked at Ji Liren with smiling eyes and asked, "If you want to relax tonight, I have no opinion." ”

Ji Liren glanced at Sui Ge and said, "I've never been close to women. ”

Sui Song became interested and asked curiously, "Then how do you usually solve it?" "Sui Ge has seen a lot of men who think with their lower bodies in modern times, and they have also encountered some eccentric demons in ancient times, and she is rare to see a man who is as clean as jade.

Ji Liren was so frightened by her abrupt remark that he choked on the tea, coughed violently, and the heat on his cheeks was red all the way to the pinna.

At this moment, Xiao Er came over with two pots of cold wine, which could be regarded as saving Ji Liren.

"Guest officer, your wine is here, please use it slowly."

Sui Ge smiled and said, "Thank you." After a pause, she pretended to be interested and asked: "Little second brother, I heard some time ago that there is a family in your city that has gone to the water, and the family has gone to the water, so scared that I didn't dare to come here at first, is this true?" ”

When the little two heard this, they also gossiped, and opened the conversation: "There is indeed such a thing!" No, this is the house in the back street in the west, it is said that their family was eating that night, who knew that the water was gone, the fire was so big, it burned so much that the whole house was covered by fire, and the family of eleven did not have time to leave. I heard that the two elders of their family were still crushed to death by the wooden beams that were pressed down. The little second sighed and continued: "This matter even shocked the prefect, it is said that the sons of the two elders are still guarding the frontier, which is really pitiful. ”

Ji Liren's face was very heavy.

Sui Ge glanced at him, thanked Xiao Er with a smile and let him go.
