After the four brothers changed into the clothes of the dead man and stood up pretending to be guards with swords and swords, Lu Ying took Chen Yong and a few brocade guards into the cave with a swagger.

The cave twists and turns, and it really responds to the sentence "eighteen bends of the mountain road".

However, on both sides of the cave are lit with white wax as thick as a child's arm, which shines as if it were daytime, so that you can see the road clearly.

On this part of the road, several people walked with bated breath, after all, they didn't know if there was a mechanism here.

All the way down, it went quite smoothly.

As soon as they breathed a sigh of relief, they saw the world in front of them suddenly open up.

However, a dark river blocked the way.

The dark river glowed faintly green under the light of white wax, and a thin layer of hot steam was bubbling.

Lu Ying stood by the river and waved his hand to stop everyone.

Listening to the clear sound of knocking from inside, Lu Ying frowned the two long black eyebrows, so it seems that this dark river is the only passage to the inside.

Although there is no hidden weapon, such a river is enough to worry about.

This river is only afraid of being poisonous, and if it swims over, it is estimated that people will die in the river before they can cross it.

Chen Yong turned his sword hilt upside down and stretched it into the water, and there were several silver ornaments on the hilt, and when he pulled it out, he saw that the silver ornaments had been dyed black.

He turned his head to look at Lu Ying with a somewhat ugly expression.

Lu Ying pondered, the river is not narrow, and she can't jump over, so she can only take a boat.

But when I looked around, there was not a single boat around, and when the people who wanted to come here came in, they hid the boat.

Therefore, killing the guards outside will not have much effect. Without a boat, it is difficult to fly.

Chen Yong was also secretly anxious, leaned closer to Lu Ying's side, and whispered, "My lord, can't we get by?" ”

Can't get by?

Lu Ying couldn't help it.

It's too late to get a small boat right now, and there's nothing to borrow from here.

But if they just retreat like this, the people in the cave will find out that there is something wrong, and once they strengthen their precautions, it will be difficult for them to enter.

He didn't want his brothers to put their lives in danger, so he could only retreat first and then make plans for now.

He made a gesture and retreated to the hole.

The four brothers dressed in dead man's clothes greeted them, and Lu Ying commanded in a deep voice, "You four find a way to blend in, don't show your feet, and we'll come back tomorrow night." ”

"Yes, sir." The four brocade guards bowed down, and Lu Ying took Chen Yong and they carried the four corpses away.

Back at home, the east has already appeared fish belly white.

Lu Ying first climbed over the wall, entered her room, and quietly lay on the bed with her eyes closed.

He racked his brains to think about how to cross the poisonous river, and even if he closed his eyes, his mind was very chaotic, and he didn't feel sleepy at all.

Finally staying up until dawn, he turned over, freshened up first, and then came to the yard to breathe.

Cai Wei happened to get up, and was carrying a wooden basin to scoop water into the stove room to wash her face, and when she saw Lu Ying standing in the yard, she couldn't help but wonder: "You got up early today?" ”

"It's fine." Lu Ying smiled, with a hint of tiredness in her voice.

Cai Wei glanced back at his face, "You didn't sleep well last night, and your eyes are blue." ”

"Well, I didn't sleep well." Lu Ying replied honestly, indeed, I went out for a night last night, and it didn't go well, how could I sleep well?

Cai Wei shook her head and said with a smile, "No matter what happens, sleep is the greatest." If you don't sleep well, you'll get old. ”

Lu Ying was in a heavy mood, but when she heard her words, she couldn't help laughing, "What am I afraid of as a man?" ”

"Why aren't men afraid of getting old? I'm not looking down on you when you're old. Cai Wei looked up at him seriously, half joking and half determined.

Hearing this, Lu Ying's heart jumped, is this a confession to him?

He has always been stalking, and he has never heard Cai Wei say such a thing, and the excitement in his heart can be imagined.

"Yes, I'll sleep well in the future." Lu Ying felt that her heart was much more relaxed, and she assured with a smile.

"Hey, that's right." Cai Wei turned around with a smile and took a wooden basin to scoop water.

Lu Ying stared at her back a little uneasy, should she wipe her face after washing her face? She'll be angry then, right?

Thinking of this, he hurriedly flew into the bathroom, entered the room from the small door, and stuffed the bottles and cans in his pocket into the small luodian on the bedside table.

Hearing Caiwei's footsteps, he quickly turned back again.

Standing in the bathroom, he quietly observed Cai Wei through the crack in the door.

I saw that she really went to pull open the little luodian, picked out a small snow-white bottle, pulled the stopper and poured it into the palm of her hand, but she didn't pour out anything.

She couldn't help frowning, and the long willow eyebrows frowned into two "ones", "Hey, strange, why is there not a drop left?" ”

A layer of fine sweat oozed from the tip of Lu Ying's nose, the water here was drunk dry by a brother last night, how could there be any left?

He thought that Cai Wei would be furious, after all, she is very precious on weekdays, and she will wipe them on her face when she gets up in the morning and washes them, but Lu Ying knows how much Cai Wei cares about her appearance.

Unexpectedly, Cai Wei couldn't remember clearly, so she just muttered, "It's running out so soon?" I've got to match it this time. ”

After speaking, she put down the small bottle, and took out a small dark pink porcelain bottle, smeared a little snow-white balm from it, stretched out her ring finger and dipped it on her forehead and chin, and slowly patted it evenly.

Lu Ying only felt that a big stone in her heart was finally put down, fortunately she didn't find it, and fortunately he didn't let those brothers eat this thing last night.

But when he thought that they were eating the balm of Cai Wei, he couldn't help but laugh. If Cai Wei knows about this in the future, I don't know how to laugh at their group of big fools.

Lu Ying slowly retreated to her room, and she didn't have the heart to eat breakfast, just stood there and looked out the window in a daze, worrying about how to cross the poisonous river.

After wiping her face, Cai Wei tied her hair back together, and went to the stove room for breakfast. Widow Mu didn't see Lu Ying, so she came to knock on the door in person, and Lu Ying had to go out.

After breakfast for a while, the Li family's carriage stopped at the gate.

Cai Wei and Lu Ying got into the car, and the two went to the Death Pavilion.

On the way, Lu Ying really couldn't figure out how to cross the dark river, so she simply told Cai Wei this, this girl has a lot of ideas, and she may be able to help.

It's just that he didn't tell the truth, but knocked on the side, "Weiwei, you said that if the river in our village is sprinkled with poison, and you can't wash clothes and feed livestock, what should you do?" ”

"Isn't that easy? Sprinkle some quicklime. Cai Wei blurted out without thinking.

"Quicklime?" Lu Ying was stunned, can this thing detoxify?

"Quicklime purifies water." Cai Wei turned her bright eyes, afraid that Lu Ying would not understand the chemical reaction between quicklime and water, so she said something simple.

"I see." Lu Ying let out a long breath, who knew that it was so simple, causing him to toss all night.

It would be nice to know and ask earlier.

Seeing that he was silent, Cai Wei was very curious, "Why did you suddenly ask about this?" Could it be that the water in our village is really poisonous? ”

She saw Dakui's daughter-in-law washing her clothes there yesterday.

"Oh, no, I just asked casually." Lu Ying hurriedly laughed and interrupted, not daring to tell her own affairs, after all, the murder and arson were still not known to a girl's family.

Although this matter is between the crown prince and King Cheng, subconsciously he doesn't want Cai Wei to get involved.

Cai Wei was silent, but she thought to herself: What is wrong with you casually? I'm going to ask this.
