Not only that, judging from the injuries of the people who came, I am afraid that the problem is far from being as simple as Li Qingxiang said in the letter. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info more importantly, according to the date on the letter, it was only fifty miles, but the person who came walked for five days, which is definitely a problem.
"Going that far? Are you alone? Shall I go with you? Or...... Do you bring Gu Wei with you? If you don't let Ruyu go with you, having an assistant by your side will always make people feel more at ease......" Liu Kai looked at Xiao Yifei in confusion, and did not hesitate to completely reject his plan. The person lying unconscious on the bed was seriously injured, and it was conceivable that he must have been ambushed on the road, so he couldn't let Xiao Yifei leave with confidence.
Such as jade? Gu Wei? If the two of them were here, they should indeed have gone with them. However, he could already guess that there must be many dangers along the way, and he didn't know if someone had already set a trap on the road, and in any case, he couldn't drag them into the water together.
Xiao Yifei frowned: "Don't worry, it's unlikely that it is the Longtan Tiger's Den there." I'm just worried about whether Master Li is getting into trouble. You should know very well that Master Li has been the prime minister of peace for five years, and he is also a person who has seen strong winds and waves. Perhaps, there are just some mysteries that I need to solve. ”
"Haven't you heard of those rumors on the rivers and lakes?" Liu Kai glanced at Xiao Yifei, of course he knew very well that he would not be able to stop Xiao Yifei's actions no matter what, but he still had a little bit of undying intentions, and continued: "It is rumored outside that Xishan, that is, the place where the former prime minister lived in seclusion, has become the Valley of Death, where mysterious characters haunt. I've heard that a lot of strange things have been going on there lately. Others say that it has been turned into a slaughterhouse, where dozens of people have died. Maybe...... It's scary to think about, it used to be the only way to get in and out of the capital, but now many people have begun to take a detour. Didn't you say that there have been fewer merchants coming from the east lately? Maybe...... Let's wait for him to wake up and ask what happened. ”
The more he said this, of course, the more he could arouse Xiao Yifei's curiosity. From here, it was only a whole day of horseback riding, which was a pleasure for him who was already bored to the point of panic. So without waiting for Liu Kai to be verbose again, he ordered the housekeeper to prepare the horse and hurried to Xishan.
The problem is definitely more serious than you think. Xiao Yifei was thinking about this problem all the way. But what trouble will the former prime minister cause? In fact, he hadn't had a few contacts with the former prime minister, he only knew that he was definitely a peaceful prime minister, who was very good at pleasing the emperor and taking care of his subordinates. With such a character, he naturally failed to make any achievements, nor did he offend anyone. Right now, who would poison him or his family? Especially after three years of hiatus?
At dusk, we were only halfway there. Xiao Yifei knew very well that even if he rushed over at this moment, the Li family would probably fall asleep. This is an official road, and there are many small towns along the way. But there is almost only one decent inn in every town. Xiao Yifei looked at the sky, picked the nearest inn and walked in.
Although it was nearly dusk, the inn was bustling with activity, and there were only two empty upper rooms left. Xiao Yifei is very strange, at this time, it stands to reason that the business of the inn will not be too good, after all, the people who come and go are small businessmen, and they are not very willing to spend a lot of money on the road. What is the reason for this?
It wasn't until he enjoyed his dinner in the midst of the crowd that Xiao Yifei realized that these people were going to pass through Xishan and then go to Luoyang. And a series of recent events in Xishan have already frightened them. Since it was almost dusk, they simply stayed here and continued their journey early tomorrow morning.
"Don't say we're cowardly, what happened is really scary." A black-faced man shouted loudly, and while saying this, a frightened expression flashed in his eyes: "To tell you, it was ten days ago, a cousin of mine told me, he was also passing by the Li family compound in Xishan at night, and saw a person driving a car, walking and suddenly falling off for some reason, rolling to the ground like a watermelon, but I didn't see who did it." At that time, my cousin was so frightened that he crawled back to find the nearest house to him, so that he could go and stay for one night, and the next day he moved to the inn, and had a serious illness, and it took several days to recover. We were just a few days apart when I met him at the inn, about ten miles away. He repeatedly warned me that no matter what, I should not walk down that road at night, let alone near the Li family's mansion in Xishan. ”
"Nonsense, I'm afraid he scared himself and was dazzled, right? Even if it's ...... Ghost, do you have to see a shadow too? But then again, there's no peace at all in Xishan. A man in his forties spoke, with a hint of disdain on his face, "I'm from over there, and I don't look out of the ordinary." In broad daylight, I saw four people in the uniforms of the officials patrolling there, presumably the county government had sent a catcher to investigate. ”
Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and his expression became very serious: "I heard that there is another big event in the Li family's mansion, this is absolutely true. I heard that five groups of people had been sent out to ask for help, but not a single rescue soldier came. The previous murders also had no results. If no one comes to help again, I'm afraid that the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion will have to go crazy. Just before, I heard that all the living creatures raised in the compound were killed. The two people who quit their jobs from there disappeared inexplicably halfway through, and the people who left from Li's house were found on the edge of the cliff in the West Mountain......"
"Are you telling the truth?" The middle-aged man's words aroused everyone's interest, and many people turned their heads to listen to him.
Xiao Yifei listened calmly to the words of these people, there was no doubt that what these people said was exaggerated, and he snorted coldly unconsciously.
The middle-aged man glared at Xiao Yifei dissatisfiedly, and said coldly: "Young man, I will hold up a big one in front of you." Actually, if I hadn't heard it with my own ears, I wouldn't have believed it. But after walking for a long time at night, you will always encounter ghosts. More than one person saw it, and all of them thought that no one could kill people invisibly except ghosts. The most pitiful at the moment is even the people in the Li family's compound. It was a prime minister for a while, but now people are in a state of panic, facing an invisible enemy every day...... It's also a shame that someone has seen a big scene, otherwise, he would have to be scared crazy. I don't know who can save the current situation. ”
