"Lord Xia, I don't know what those people have in common?"

"Master Li said that those who got sick were all from the same village."

When Su Muge heard this, his brows furrowed. "People from the same place?"

"Well, now that the water in that village has receded, do you want to go and see it?"

Su Muge was silent, now that the patient's condition had not yet been determined, she was a little uneasy to leave like this.

"The county magistrate of Zhou County was swept away by the flood in that village." Seeing that Su Muge was silent, Xiahou Mo said quietly.

"What?" Su Muge looked up in surprise.

"Since Lord Su is not going, then stay and cooperate with the second prince, come to the east, and prepare the horse."

"Yes."

If you can find information related to the disease in the village, this trip is not impossible.

"Xiaguan will go with Lord Xia."

The corners of Xiahou Mo's lips raised slightly, and he strode out.

……

On the other side, Xiahou Kun asked Master Li to retreat.

Only Xiahou Kun and one of his cronies were left in the house.

Xiahou Kun leaned back in his chair, his eyes shining with a cold dark color. "Han Yu, why does this hall think that this Su Lun is a little weird?"

"I don't know if the second prince thinks Master Su is weird?" A small official who has been out for a few years and can't be ranked in Beijing at all, as a close confidant of the second prince who is a popular prince in the current dynasty, Han Yu really hasn't paid attention to Su Lun.

Xiahou Kun shook his head, Su Lun was released many years ago, how could he pay attention to such a person.

Xiahou Kun waved his hand, obviously not planning to continue this topic.

"I finally got my father to promise me to come here, but who knew that I would kill a roadblock halfway!"

Han Yu also felt that King Jin appeared at this time, which was really a bit of a hindrance.

"My father has already asked him to come for disaster relief, why did he promise to let me come again? You say, didn't my father know something? With that, Xiahou Kun straightened his back and sat up.

He did it very secretly, how did his father know about it?

"Your Highness doesn't have to mess with yourself first, it's best for us to stand still now."

Xiahou Kun nodded. "You're right, let people secretly look at Xiahou Mo, the main hall can't let him do bad things!"

"Yes."

……

The muddy road washed by the rain was extremely difficult to walk, and Su Muge, who was sitting on horseback, felt the horse's hooves slip several times, if she hadn't practiced riding in the past, she would have fallen to the ground by this time.

Zuoqiu and Zuo Wei explored the road ahead, and according to the people of Zhou County, this Dawang Village was the closest village to the county seat of Zhou County.

The trail was littered with vegetation, trees, and even corpses that had begun to decay.

"My lord, there is Dawang Village in front of you."

Su Muge raised his eyes and could see some brick wreckage in the distance.

"Hmm." Xiahou Molema, walking in front of Su Muge.

Zuoqiu stepped forward and swept away the yellow mud on a boulder, and the words "Dawang Village" could be clearly seen.

In addition to the houses made of blue bricks, only the remains of some tiles remain.

Su Muge turned over and dismounted and walked in the village that had become ruins.

This village is not large, and it takes at most a quarter of an hour to walk from the head of the village to the end of the village, and now most of the mud houses have been washed away, and the whole village is even more visible at a glance.

"My lord, when my subordinates found out that the people in this village would go up to the mountain behind them every day, and they would go down the mountain all day, and they would come down late at night, but when I asked them what they were going to do, no one could answer." Zuoqiu pointed to the big mountain road behind the village.

"Check it out."

They tied their horses to the village and walked towards the back hills.

As soon as he entered the back mountain, Su Muge obviously felt that there was something different here, and the vegetation on the mountain did not have too many traces of being invaded by the water, that is to say, the water could not flood the mountain.

The further he walked in, the more strange Su Muge felt, and he always felt that something was not quite right, but he couldn't say it for a while.

"This is already a deep mountain, what are those villagers doing in the deep mountains every day?" Su Muge frowned and said, even if there are hunters in the village who go hunting in the mountains, it won't be so many people on the mountains every day, right?

Xiahou Mo stood still and glanced around. "There's no living thing here."

There are no living beings!

Yes, she said how this mountain is so strange, there is not even a bird when you walk in all the way, such a large mountain, it has not been affected by the water, how can there not be even a bird.

"Boom"

"Boom"

The sound of swaying branches was heard in their ears, and several people stopped vigilantly to look around.

"My lord, someone's coming!" Zuoqiu and Zuo Wei were guarding Xiahou Mo's side.

The shade of the trees on the ground was mottled, and suddenly, the shadow under Su Muge's feet dimmed, and a ghostly black figure swooped towards her.

Su Muge looked stunned, turned around to avoid it, and in the next second, a big hand appeared on her waist and lifted her up.

"Bang!"

More than a dozen men in black appeared and surrounded them.

Xiahou Mo let go of Su Muge and let her stand behind him.

"Trespassers, die!"

The man in black didn't talk too much nonsense, and came up to fight directly.

Several black-clothed people rushed towards Su Muge and Xiahou Mo.

Xiahou Mo's eyebrows and eyes were dark, and as soon as he punched out, he smashed the face of a man in black, and at that moment, Su Muge felt that his brain was broken!

Su Muge looked at Xiahou Mo standing in front of him, his tall figure looked like a shield, which could block all the fighting attacks.

Su Muge clenched the dagger in his hand and stopped the black-clothed man who sneaked up on Xiahou Mo's back.

"Let's go!" Xiahou Mo said in a deep voice, reaching out to hold her waist and fly up the tree.

Through the layers of branches, Su Muge found that these black-clothed people were coming from the direction of their left.

Obviously, Xiahou Mo also found this problem, and thought of one thing with her.

Xiahou Mo took Su Muge to shuttle between the trees, all the way to the depths of the forest.

Seeing this, the man in black hurriedly caught up, but their light skills were far inferior to Xiahou Mo, but in less than half an hour, the person was lost.

A bloodthirsty fierceness flashed in the eyes of the man in black.

"Go separately and find it, and you must get people back!"

"Yes."

On the other side of the mountain forest, Xiahou Mo stopped, lowered his eyes and looked at Su Muge, who was stuck to him.

Su Muge hugged Xiahou Mo's neck tightly with both hands, his legs wrapped around his waist, and his head was still buried in someone's neck socket, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't have a bit of manhood!

"Master Su seems to be very frightened." The hoarse voice made Su Muge come back to his senses, raised his head from Xiahou Mo's neck socket, and looked at him in a daze.

After meeting those deep black eyes, Su Muge let out a low breath and let go of Xiahou Mo in a panic to stand aside.

What a shame to throw home!

I think she is not afraid of heaven and earth, why is she afraid of heights!

She would never admit how scared Xia Houmo was when she flew with her over a tall tree!

This wicked man actually makes fun of her, it's really ungraceful!

Su Muge snorted, clenched his sleeves and did not speak.

Seeing that she was angry and puffed up, but she didn't dare to come out, Xiahou Mo hooked his lips slightly, he suddenly wanted to reach out and poke the puffing cheek, it should feel good.

After taking several deep breaths, Su Muge felt that his emotions had calmed down a lot, and he observed the situation around him to distract himself.

As soon as she turned around, she saw a very hidden cave.

She stepped forward and ripped all the plants outside the cave open, revealing a hole about half a meter in diameter.

Su Muge squatted down and observed the environment around the cave, and only then did he stand up and say: "This cave has been in and out for a long time, and the plants that cover the cave do not grow very yearly, but are deliberately covered. ”

"That's right." After Xiahou Mo left the contact signal, he walked straight towards the entrance of the cave.

Su Muge glared at him secretly and obediently followed.

At first, it was so dark that they could barely see anything, but when the two of them pushed open the simple wooden door, their eyes suddenly lit up.

"How does this look like a tunnel?"

Xiahou Mo reached out and touched the mud on both sides of the tunnel, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it. "It's old mud, not new dug."

Su Muge found that there were a lot of messy footprints in the tunnel, and it seemed that there were often people walking around here.

The two of them walked all the way down, as if they could not walk at all, and occasionally saw a small clearing open at the edge of the tunnel, and the ground was covered with planks and straw, which seemed to be a place to rest.

After walking for about two quarters of an hour, Xiahou Mo suddenly stopped.

Su Muge was so distracted that he almost hit him in the back.

"Why don't you leave, did you find something?"

Xiahou Mo pinched the mud on the ground and looked at it. "The mud here is newer than when I came in, but it's been around for a while."

Su Muge looked at him with a puzzled face.

Xiahou Mo threw away the mud and clapped his hands. "There may be a long way to go."

"Lord Xia doesn't want to know where this tunnel leads?"

"There are some things that don't need to be done by the official himself."

Su Muge choked, and when she turned around, she suddenly kicked something on her foot, she looked down and saw that it was a red porcelain bottle, and she bent down to pick up the porcelain bottle, Su Muge subconsciously put it and sniffed it.

Her nose is very sensitive to drugs, so she can tell that something is wrong when she smells it.

"What's that?"

"I picked it up on the ground, and the bottle smelled a little weird."

"Let me see."

Su Muge looked at the hand stretched out in front of him and was a little surprised, but still handed him the porcelain bottle.

Xiahou Mo took the porcelain vase and put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it. "Plain grass?"

"Suxin Herb ......" This is one of the most commonly sold medicinal herbs to Chu in Nanban, which has the effect of nourishing yin and nourishing the lungs.

"Lord Xia also understands medicinal herbs?"

Xiahou Mo returned the porcelain vase to her, and said indifferently: "There will be some, let's go." ”

"Hmm."

There was a cold wind blowing in the long corridor, which was ventilated, proving that the other end had been opened.

Su Muge walked behind Xiahou Mo, always feeling that someone was looking at them, but when he turned around, there was nothing behind him except for the endless corridor.

"Those men in black won't be waiting at the entrance of the cave, will they?"

"If they knew we were here, they'd just chase us in."

A figure slowly walked out of the shadows as they walked away......
