Chapter Seventy-Two: The Halfway Killer
The spring day in Chishui is extremely lively, the boudoir women who have been dormant all winter can't wait to change into colorful Luo skirts, the sellers who carry the burden, the women who comb their hair in the streets and alleys, and the hawkers who push wheelbarrows to deliver goods, and the people come and go endlessly.
The Chishui River is slightly scaled in the bright sunshine, rippling and rippling, the river water is crystal clear, you can see the red pebbles of different sizes at the bottom of the river at a glance, and the riverside is crawling with dew-stained beautiful spring flowers.
The wedding date is approaching, and Shangguan Qingqing, who is the concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion, wants to pick up his share of the burden, and there are a lot of miscellaneous things in the house, and he has not returned to Shu Lanxuan for three days.
After half a day of stealing today, I returned to Shu Lanxuan, and suddenly remembered the ancient book I read a few days ago, and the place where it was placed seemed to be unsafe, so I planned to find a safe place again. However, he found everything he could, but in the end he found nothing, and the ancient book disappeared at some point.
Standing in the room, he was so anxious that his back was cold sweat Cen Cen, unless he allowed it, otherwise those subordinates would not dare to enter this house casually, no, there is another one who can come in casually, Shangguan Ruwan!
He hurriedly walked towards Jinhuayuan, Shangguan Ruwan was swinging freely in the garden, the laughter like silver bells was crisp and pleasant, when she saw Shangguan Qingqing, she was stunned for a long time, and said in disbelief: "Big brother, you are still the first time to come to Jinhuayuan!"
Shangguan Qingqing didn't have the time to talk to her, and asked anxiously: "Ruwan, the ancient book with the white fox pattern in the eldest brother's house is missing, did you take it?"
"I took it!" Shangguan Ruwan said sincerely, "Today, Aunt Kang, who is good friends with her mother, came, and when Ruwan heard them talk about what fox fairies came, she remembered the white fox in the eldest brother's booklet, so she showed it to them." ”
"That ancient book is very important to the eldest brother, you can take it quickly!" Shangguan Qingqing was so anxious that he was sweating.
Shangguan Ruwan didn't move, she sat on the swing, knowing that she was in trouble, she looked at Shangguan Qing cautiously and stammered: "Already, it has been taken away by Aunt Kang!"
"Where did Aunt Kang come from?" Shangguan Qingqing's face was instantly covered with a layer of anger, and he scolded angrily!
It was the first time for Shangguan Ruwan to see Shangguan Qingqing with such a big fire, she was shocked and scared, and couldn't help crying loudly, and the cry led out the side room of the right phase in the house, which was also Ruwan's mother.
Li Yiran was a cowardly and timid woman, seeing Shangguan Qingqing standing in one place with an angry face, she hurriedly bowed down and saluted first, "Ruwan said that my ancient book was taken away by Aunt Kang, what Aunt Kang?
"Back to the eldest prince, Kang Zizhu is the cook in the second prince's mansion, and today I came to reminisce about the old days when I had nothing to do, and I was very curious when I saw the booklet of the eldest prince, so I took it!" Li Yiran said resignedly.
Shangguan Qingqing's heart sank suddenly, he was really afraid of anything, he had a dark face, hating his carelessness, this moment's negligence was very likely to bring ruin to Qianshan Dusk, but now it is impossible for the ancient book to come back, so he has to think of other countermeasures!
He stomped his foot fiercely, and shouted angrily at Shangguan Ruwan: "From now on, if you dare to enter Shu Lanxuan without permission, I will punish you severely!" After speaking, he angrily brushed his sleeves away. Shangguan Ruwan pouted, her little face was wrinkled, and she rubbed the corners of her clothes at a loss.
Shangguan Qingqing returned to Shu Lanxuan, a little anxious, although the common people of Jinchuan Kingdom have always respected and believed in the gods, and they dare not easily blaspheme demons, but it is one thing to worship, and it is another thing to stand in front of them.
Duan Zhijun has also been away from Chishui for many days, and there is no news at all, and there is no one to discuss.
The only dry road leading from Jincheng to Chishui is extremely potholed, extremely difficult to walk, the wheels roll by, the dust is flying all over the sky, and the gray sky makes people feel oppressive and dreary.
Qianshan Twilight, who was in the carriage, was shaken and dizzy, and she lay weakly at the window, looking at the heroic Lin Yunmo on horseback.
The leg injury is recovering well, and I can walk slowly for a while without holding things, even if the wheelchair is made, I don't need it.
"I'm going to ride a horse too!" she said, pointing to the good horse.
Lin Yunmo saw her smiling like a flower, how could he bear to refuse, raised his eyebrows and said, "Wait!"
When the carriage stopped, Lin Yunmo carried Qianshan Twilight to the horse, and he also grabbed the reins and turned over with his strength.
The breeze is blowing, and the fog is hazy in the distance, and there are eagles soaring between the mountains and mountains, and the air is filled with the softness of spring.
"Are you better?" Lin Yunmo whispered in her ear.
"It's more comfortable on horseback than the painful bumps in the carriage!" Qianshan Twilight smiled, and there seemed to be a faint disdain that swept towards her, intentionally or unintentionally, and for a moment a cold chill crossed the depths of her eyes.
In fact, when it comes to what she overheard yesterday, she can guess a little bit, she was going to investigate to the end, but she was stopped by Lin Yunmo without thinking about it, she has the intention of snooping, she must have bad intentions, instead of catching the painless inquiry, it is better to pretend that nothing happened, she will always be unable to bear to expose what she wants.
From a distance, I saw a disguise on the bamboo pole on the side of the road, the word "tea" on it was particularly eye-catching in the bright sunshine, and under the bamboo pole was a simple tea shed, and an old man with gray hair, bent waist, and skinny was busy boiling tea.
In the tea shed, a burly young man sat wearing a hat, drinking tea leisurely, as if he had unintentionally swept Lin Yunmo's team, the look in his eyes was unrecognizable, and he was covered with a cold bloody atmosphere.
Lin Yunmo got closer and closer, the lingering murderous aura lingered around this person, his heart was vigilant, and he raised his eyes to signal Duan Zhijun, Duan Zhijun has always been extremely sensitive to this kind of thing, he slowed down and looked at the people in the shed gloomily.
"It feels weird!" said Chiyama Twilight softly.
Lin Yunmo's arm around her waist tightened a little more, and said vaguely: "It looks like he's waiting for us!"
As soon as the words fell, the young man in the tea shed quickly flashed out, and without saying a word, he took out his treasure knife and slashed towards Qianshan Dusk in Lin Yunmo's arms, the knife was fierce and fierce.
Duan Zhijun burst into tears, raised the long sword in his hand, and separated the sword, the young man was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Duan Zhijun to be so agile.
He smiled coldly, the long knife in his hand was as fast as lightning, and he was instantly entangled with Duan Zhijun.
Lin Yunmo's deep eyes flashed with sharp edges, and he held the reins tightly, his face extremely gloomy.
"You won't be here to kill me, will you?" Qianshan Twilight was a little embarrassed, this man was clearly a killer, and she racked her brains and didn't remember who she had offended.
"That's right this time! Aren't you here to kill me anyway?" Lin Yunmo couldn't help but laugh.
"It seems that General Duan's kung fu is slightly better!" Liu Mengli lifted the curtain of the carriage and sighed leisurely.
Between the swords and swords, the figures of the two were like flying swallows, light and sharp, flashing and moving, and it was difficult to distinguish between high and low for a while.
