Chapter 51: Encounter with Liu Mengli
As long as he passed through the woods in front of him, he arrived at the gate of Qizhou City, Shangguan Qingqing stopped his horses outside the forest, tried to tidy up his salute for a while, and the sun shone through the treetops with a chill on the dirt slope under his feet.
A thick layer of dead leaves was spread in the forest in front, and there were a few new graves in between, and the soul-attracting flags planted on the graves were floating in the cold wind, and the withered grass was cold and smoky, cold and desolate!
Raising his eyes, Lin Yunmo led the horse from the forest all the way to step on the broken leaves, his black hair was tied high and put on a dark gold crown, a blue dark pattern brocade robe, a snow blue cloak, and a beast face pattern jade pendant tied around his waist, although his cold face was slightly haggard, but the noble spirit around his body should not be desecrated.
Shangguan Qingqing hurriedly dismounted, walked to Lin Yunmo's approach, and asked in surprise, "Master, has your poison been cured?"
"Resolved, the handover with the North Underworld is over?" Lin Yunmo asked solemnly.
Shangguan Qingqing got up and said: "After the handover, the generals appointed by the imperial court to defend the city will take office in the next few days, and two of them have to be defended, Li Tai of Jincheng and Liu Jun of Luancheng have a lot to do with the second prince!"
Lin Yunmo nodded, and said in a deep voice: "For the time being, keep these two people first, and when I come back, I will solve it personally, you go back to Chishui to inform the Zhijun, and keep an eye on the second prince's mansion to see if there are any suspicious idlers coming in and out... After a moment's pause, he asked, "Tell me where she went?"
Knowing that he was definitely going to ask Qianshan Dusk, Shangguan Qingqing calmed down and said, "At that time, my subordinates saw Xiao Du and the man riding in the southeast direction, if the subordinates' estimates are good, they should have gone to the Yanfu Country!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yunmo had already flown on his horse and clenched the reins, "Smoke Floating Country?" he said to himself coldly: "Is it the White Fox Country mentioned in the Foreign Chronicles?"
Shangguan Qingqing snorted, and quickly clarified his thoughts: "Master, how did you solve the poison on your body?"
"The father-in-law said that the man who was with Du'er got the antidote, but Du'er didn't come back, I can't abandon her, I must find her back!" Lin Yunmo said, then shook the reins, and the horse ran towards the side of the road.
Shangguan Qingqing stood in place for a long time, faintly uneasy, but he couldn't help but lead the horse towards the gate of Qizhou.
The border is desolate and cold, almost a hundred miles away from people, there are clumps of dead grass covered under the snow, until the sky is completely dark, Lin Yunmo found a simple inn, the open space in front of the inn is set up high bamboo poles, and a string of red lanterns with Fuyuan Inn written on the top is hung.
The shopkeeper ran out to help lead the horse to the backyard, Lin Yunmo raised his legs and walked towards the inn, although the inn was a little simple, but the business was still very prosperous, and the noise broke the silence of the cold night.
When he was about to walk to the door, he saw a drunken woman with an old face, pushed out by the little two in the inn, the woman staggered, sighed, fell to the cold hard ground, she burped, got up from the ground, and cursed indistinctly: "I, I will never see you again, senior brother..."
Lin Yunmo frowned, glanced at the woman with disgust, originally didn't intend to pay attention to her, but just as he was kicking in and out of the door, he heard the woman shouting clearly in his ear, "Lin Shuo..."
He stopped and glanced at the woman, called the shopkeeper over, and pointed at the woman, when the junior heard that it was the woman, he couldn't help but show disdain, "Guest officer, this ugly woman owes us a lot of money for drinks, so let's leave her alone!"
Lin Yunmo took out a silver ingot from his bosom, threw it on the counter, and asked coldly: Are these enough?"
The shopkeeper immediately smiled, hurriedly ran out to help the old woman up, and respectfully hugged Lin Yunmo's table.
The woman was already thinly dressed, and she was frozen outside for a long time, and most of the wine woke up, she looked at Lin Yunmo in a daze, and teased: "Why do you want to save me?
Lin Yunmo took a sip of wine and was about to swallow it, when he heard this, he almost squirted out, and he said coldly: "I'm sorry, I have a woman!
"Who did I just call?" the woman reached for the flask and poured herself another glass.
"Lin Shuo!" Lin Yunmo asked expressionlessly, "Who are you, and do you have a relationship with him?"
The woman smiled stupidly, her eyebrows flashed, and she said heartily: "He is my senior brother, I am his junior sister, that's all... Little white face, what about you?"
Lin Yunmo glanced at her, the corners of his mouth hooked up a touch of coldness, the hall of the inn was noisy, and the noisy people had a headache, he got up and walked to the guest room on the second floor, "Hey!" The woman shouted repeatedly: "My name is Liu Mengli, I, where do I live?"
"Where do you live and what does it matter to me?" Lin Yunmo turned his head and said coldly.
Liu Mengli's eyes suddenly became clear and thorough, and she pouted and smiled: "It's stingy, but I was your woman's life-saving benefactor, and it has nothing to do with you?
"What did you just say!" Lin Yunmo stopped suddenly, and immediately walked back to Liu Mengli's side, stared at her coldly, and asked eagerly: "What you just said, yes, is it Qianshan Dusk?"
Seeing his anxious expression, Liu Mengli knew that he had made the right bet, and rolled his eyes: "Is this time related to you?"
"All your expenses are on me, right?" Lin Yunmo anxiously wanted to know about Qianshan Dusk.
Liu Mengli walked back to the table unhurriedly, and asked Xiao Er to serve the hot dishes again, seeing Lin Yunmo's anxious appearance, she smiled softly: "Come and sit." I'll talk to you slowly!"
Liu Mengli slowly and concisely told Lin Yunmo about the things when Qianshan was in Qizhou.
Lin Yunmo's face changed color when he heard this, and when he learned that his antidote had to be sacrificed to the thorn tree by the blood of a thousand mountains, tears flashed in his eyes, and he desperately suppressed his emotions, and said in a trembling voice: "This fool, why don't you take your life seriously so much!"
Liu Mengli took all Lin Yunmo's gaffes in her eyes, knowing that Lin Yunmo really cared about Qianshan Twilight in her heart, she was a little relieved, as long as she was not as alone as her.
"In that case, if she doesn't give up her life to save you, how can you live?" Liu Mengli sighed.
"She's in the Smoke Floating Country now, isn't she? I'm going to go now!" Lin Yunmo stood up eagerly.
Liu Mengli grabbed him, "It's dark and cold this night, let's go together tomorrow morning! With my apprentice here, Qianya will probably not be in danger of life!"
Lin Yunmo calmed down a little, he turned around and bowed respectfully to Liu Mengli, and said, "Thank you, Granny Liu saved Du'er, I am grateful!"
Hearing someone call her "mother-in-law" again, her face immediately fell: "Why are you the same as your woman, am I old?"
Lin Yunmo shook his head according to her words, and said reluctantly: "Then what does Dusk call you, I will be like her, right?"
Liu Mengli sneered: "Your woman calls me Sister Mengli!"
