Chapter 112: The Abandoned House
Ning Ruoxue smiled bitterly and shook her head: "I can't be the general's wife with such an identity, it's enough to be by his side, and my parents have the right to let me die, so why worry about me, a daughter who is not angry." ”
Qi Yuan hugged her shoulder, "Sister-in-law's words are bad, sons are the hearts and minds of their parents, Xiangye and Mrs. must have forgiven you a long time ago, why bother punishing yourself like this." ”
"That's right, last time I handed over your plum blossom hairpin to your father, he was in tears, although he didn't say it, but this palace can also see that he has already forgiven you in his heart. ”
Ning Ruoxue's nose was sour, and she threw herself into Qi Yuan's arms and cried bitterly.
She was born in Gaomen, she was originally able to be the princess and then the queen, but once the prince was abolished, she had already secretly promised, for him, abandoned the family parents, and now she has to meet a lover, which was originally the most joyful thing, but her parents and relatives couldn't send her out of the cabinet when she got married, and she couldn't cry herself.
My parents forgave me, but how could I forget it like this.
She wiped away her tears.
"Thank you for the kindness of the eldest princess, I have nothing to bring to my parents, the eldest princess has a safe journey, I will retire first. ”
She covered her face and ran out, and Qi Chun immediately hurriedly retreated.
Shacheng in southern Xinjiang is the most remote northwest of southern Xinjiang, and when Chang Shan arrived here with secret guards, it was already dark.
He wore a regular costume and led everyone to blend into the crowd, searching, and the traces traced along the way disappeared in front of the quaint mansion in front of him.
"Let's find a place to stay first, and then come back late at night. ”
This is clearly not a good time to investigate.
Shacheng is not prosperous, the street vendors are still shouting, he motioned to one of them to buy some apples to pack, along the way in order to find the Hou Ye, it is common to eat and sleep open.
An inn in front of him fell into view.
It's not big, it's not too small, and when I look at it from the horse, the shopkeeper is dozing.
There were a few people eating in the lobby.
He immediately turned over and dismounted, and Xiao Er, who greeted the guests in front of the door, came forward with a smile.
He took a silver ingot, from his bosom, and threw it, "Feed our horses, and find us five more upper rooms, and bring us supper to the room." ”
The shopkeeper took the money, and immediately flattered the group upstairs, and the five rooms were naturally next to each other.
Three people live in one room, and finding an inn is just a cover-up, and they have another task tonight.
Half an hour later, a meal that was not sumptuous was delivered.
Chang Shan and the other shopkeepers laid out the meals, and took out a silver ingot from his arms and slapped it on the table.
Xiao Er was dazzled by the silver ingot, and his eyes immediately stuck to it.
"I'll ask you something, and this is yours. ”
He grabbed the silver and threw it into the air, and caught it accurately, causing the shopkeeper's eyes to follow up and down.
"Although the guest officer asked, the little one must know everything. ”
Because of the excitement, the voice was very rapid, and the Adam's apple was rolling up and down.
"I fell in love with the quaint house behind your inn and wanted to buy it, but I don't know who this owner is?"
Xiao Er was stunned for a moment, obviously not understanding why he would ask this house.
But then he immediately replied: "The guest officer is talking about the house behind our inn, what is so good about that house, it is uninhabited all year round, it is still haunted, and it has been abandoned for many years." ”
He had a sincere face, as if he really wanted to do something for others.
Chang Shan suddenly became excited and didn't want to say any more.
Xiao Er looked at the silver and flattered him: "The guest officer ......"
"I'll give you the money. ”
"Thank you, thank you. ”
Xiao Er grabbed the silver and thanked him a thousand times.
When the child was sleeping, everyone slept soundly, pushed open the window, the street was empty, Chang Shan lifted the quilt, took out a mask from his arms to put on, and then quickly went out and jumped on the roof, dexterous as if it was a monkey.
In less than half a cup of tea, a few people followed one after another to the roof.
From the roof of the inn to the mansion, he only had to walk through the rooftops in front of him, which was one of the reasons why he chose this inn.
If someone finds you, you can quickly get out and return to the inn.
However, in the backyard of the inn at this time, the shopkeeper was drinking tea, and the shopkeeper came in respectfully from the outside and put the piece of silver in his sleeve on the table, "They asked the little one about the house, and the little one said that the house had been abandoned for many years and was still haunted, but I guess they wouldn't just give up." ”
The shopkeeper took a sip of the teacup, "You take the silver, these people are watching." ”
"Yes. ”
When they stood on the courtyard wall of the house, the bright moon was in the sky, and the whole house was dead silent, and there was not even a single patrol, let alone any lights.
If it weren't for the shopkeeper lying, there would be a trap in front of him.
He looked hesitantly for a while, and when the wind was calm, he finally jumped off the courtyard wall, leaving two people to answer, and the rest followed him down.
An hour later, not even the rice jar in the kitchen had been spared in the whole house, and there was not a single living creature to be seen, except for the squeaking rats and a few wild cats wandering here.
Tsuneyama jumped onto the courtyard wall and looked down at the door he had seen at dusk.
He stared at the door and looked left and right, but saw nothing.
The secret guard behind him stepped forward: "There is not even a person here, could it be that the Hou Ye left a mark all the way and was discovered, and deliberately left a mark here......"
"No, this symbol cannot be imitated, each one is different, but each one has a unique meaning, and no one in the world can grasp the meaning. ”
He is full of confidence, because this mark contains the art of war, and it is also the tacit understanding between the master and servant for more than ten years.
Chang Shan is 100% sure that this mark was left by Yasukuni Hou, but this is obviously an empty house.
"Keep looking, maybe there's a secret passage or something, don't miss any of them. ”
The Dark Guards simply scattered and searched for each other.
On a tree on the edge of the inn, the shopkeeper stood on the branch of the tree and crossed his arms to look at the secret guard who flew and jumped down, and jumped off the tree with satisfaction.
The morning light was faint, the warm sun sprinkled cold on his face, Han Rui sat in the carriage with a thick coat, the Qi brothers and sisters saw off with red eyes, Ning Ruoxue stood quietly on the side in a snow-white fox fur, and the peony was still dressed in bright red clothes.
"If there is news, the concubine will send it to the princess. ”
"Okay, if it goes well, I will come to Bashu again next month, and I can expect to see you and say goodbye. ”
She lowered the curtain of the carriage, and the wheels began to roll, and Aoyama accompanied the Secret Guard and the Praetorian Guards who had accompanied her when she came.
The carriage was getting farther and farther away from Bashu City, under the warm sun, the rouge opened the curtain, Han Ruiyi was excited, she fell asleep when she came, she had nightmares, and she was full of melancholy when she left.
Suddenly the sound of horses' hooves sounded behind him, from far and near.
Rouge poked her head out to look, turned her head in surprise and asked, "Guess who, princess?"
