58 Strange Tales (Revision)

Putting aside the chaos of Jingci Temple, Duan Rubian was dragging his tired body towards the mountains and forests at the moment.

The lower the temperature in the mountains at night, Duan Rubian put the cotton clothes that Lu Fu gave her in the thatched hut, only wearing a single coat at the moment, her face was white from the cold, and she had broken her foot when she just came out of the wall, and now she was swollen because of her long run.

Duan Rubian simply sat down, touched his shoulders, bit his lower lip and secretly cheered up in his heart, the autumn wind was blowing, catering to the weird night, but it was very bluffing.

Duan Rubian lowered his head, rubbed his swollen ankles, and said in an indifferent voice, "It's all here, won't Your Excellency show up?"

The breeze blew, rolling up a pile of fallen leaves, and in the blink of an eye, there was already a figure standing in front of him, dressed in black brocade robe, with long hair hanging down his shoulders, like satin, Duan Rufang smiled softly, and there was a touch of calculation between his eyebrows

"Sure enough, it's your ......"

Yeluji smiled at the corner of his mouth, and his voice was a little incredible, "You guessed it was me?"

"Your Excellency remember to hide your own things when you steal other people's funeral goods next time, this time I will help you, and next time my eyes will not be so good" As he spoke, Duan Rubian took out a piece of jade pendant, raised his hand and threw it over.

Ye Luji raised his hand to catch it, looked at the tattoo case, and smiled lightly, "Thank you Miss Duan San"

“...... Don't pretend to be polite, I really want to know, have you found what you're looking for?" Duan Rubian interrupted coldly, his eyes swept sharply towards Yelu Ji.

A cold light flashed in Yeluji's eyes, and his voice was low, "Miss Duan San knows what I'm looking for?"

Duan Rubian looked away and returned to his previous cold appearance, "Just ask, if you don't want to say it, it doesn't matter......"

"Nope"

Yelu Ji replied, staring at Duan Rufang and smiling, with a hint of threat, "Miss Duan San, can you say it now?"

Duan Rubian raised the corners of his eyebrows lightly, and did not make a half-fearful appearance of his threat, which made Yelu extremely helpless, yes, this woman has extremely high martial arts at a young age, and she is not easily intimidated by others.

"If you want me to say it's not impossible......" Duan Rufang said slowly, "I'm in trouble now, I'm not familiar with the road in the mountains, since you come here to dig a grave, you must be familiar with the path here, you just take me to a cave or something, I'll tell you"

It's also a little delicate, this appearance is in line with her age, Yelu thought secretly.

Half an hour later, the two found a cave, barely able to deal with the night, Yeluji gathered some firewood and came back, it had just rained, the firewood was damp, it was difficult to ignite, and the two of them were busy for a long time before setting up a fire.

It was a little warmer, and Duan Rufang's face recovered.

"You have an injury to your foot, just stay here, I'll go out and find something to eat" Yelu Ji got up and said, Duan Rubian rubbed his shoulders and nodded slightly.

When Yelu Ji came back, Duan Rubian was rubbing the mashed herbs on the wound, which seemed to be painful, and her usual cold expression became a little distorted.

Yelu stepped forward, threw the dead rabbit in his hand aside, and said, "Didn't you stay well?"

Duan Rubian smiled weakly, "It's twisted and it's not broken, I'm hungry, you roast the rabbit."

It seemed that he had never seen such a reckless woman, and Yeluji didn't want to care about her anymore, so he put the rabbit on the fire and roasted it.

Smelling the wafting fragrance, Duan Rubian swallowed his saliva, Yeluji tore off his hind legs and handed them to Duan Rubian, looking at her obviously greedy but pretending not to eat and feeling helpless.

Duan Rubian hadn't eaten for a day, and he was already hungry, so he ate immediately, and after half a pillar of incense, only bones were left in his hind legs.

Yelu Ji took advantage of Duan Rufang's eating effort to mention the previous matter leisurely: "Why do you know what I'm looking for?"

Duan Rubian paused, he wanted to sell it for a while, but when he thought about it, it was inappropriate, so he had to put down the food in his hand and tell the story

"Actually, it's not, it's all very good to speculate, I found your jade pendant by the cemetery, which shows that you were at the scene when the gravedigger dug the grave, even if you didn't dig it, it must have been dug by others, folklore, Duan Linxiu led the troops to attack a dynasty when he collected the jade seal of that dynasty, some people say, the jade seal is very ghostly, only those who unify the world can get the jade seal, although it is only a legend, there are still people who have been looking for it in recent years"

"A few years ago, someone had such news, Duan Linxiu's younger brother Duan Xue died, and he buried many precious beads, but the most precious thing was the heirloom jade seal that Duan Linxiu plundered that year, this rumor set off a lot of turmoil for a while, many people wanted to open the coffin to find the jade seal, but unfortunately Duan Linxiu sent heavy troops to guard Duan Xue, they didn't have time to start at all, this rumor has not been confirmed to be true or false, until now. ”

Yelu asked with great interest, "Then Miss Yisan, is this true or false?"

"Half-truths" Duan Rubian replied quietly, "There is indeed a jade seal, I once heard people mention this in the mansion, Duan Linxiu did bring back a jade seal back then, and he found it privately and did not hand it over to the emperor, but it was not the heirloom jade seal of the mysterious dynasty."

"Think back to the time when Duan Lin Xiu attacked the city, most of them were at noon, but when the monarch had hanged himself in the court, his son took over the army, and he wanted to fight his way out of the siege but was swept under the horse and died on the spot, and the so-called jade seal was hidden in his arms."

Duan Rubian paused, and continued, "Don't you think it's strange? The army is pressing, he only leads a few troops to break through the encirclement, I'm afraid it's wishful thinking, in this case, how can he be stupid enough to put the jade seal on his body, let's assume that if it was not the real prince who broke out of the encirclement, but someone else, then the real heirloom jade seal would have already sunk into the sea with the truth, but this is just speculation, and it can't be asserted, but Duan Lin Xiu didn't pass on the jade seal of the country is certain, even if you dig Duan Xue's tomb, it's useless."

Yelu was extremely silent, half-jokingly and half-seriously, "I'm really strange, how can Miss Duan San, a deep boudoir woman, know so much wild history?"

Duan Rubian raised his lips slightly, "I'm afraid that the prince doesn't know that I have lived in Qin Mansion since I was a child, such a remote place, there are countless people of three religions and nine streams, and occasionally I go to the teahouse and hear the tea guests talking about the old things, what is it to understand this?"

"Heh, according to the third lady, I'm afraid I'm going to go to Licheng more" Yeluji was still skeptical of her words, and he said it a little coldly.

Duan Rubian ate the food in his hand, wishful thinking in his heart, and his face was silent, "Hey, I'm telling you such big news, shouldn't you also know how to help me with something?"

Yelu raised his eyebrows, originally he was still thinking about how this woman confided the truth so happily, but he still asked for something, Duan Ru's eyes were a little bright, and he thought about it.
