There was a rustling sound outside the door, as if someone was going to come in and check.

Ling Xin hurriedly turned over, "Send me some tea." ”

There was a laziness in the voice that had just gotten up, and immediately the footsteps of someone went away, and soon, the door was pushed open, and the maidservant brought a pot of warm tea, and carefully cleaned up the broken porcelain pieces on the ground.

The person on the bed had already drunk tea and was snoring.

The maidservant glanced inside after tidying up, and immediately hurried away.

In the small inn in Shacheng, Chang Shan climbed into the room through the window again, and suddenly someone knocked on the door.

"Who?"

He shouted cautiously.

"The guest officer, it's the small one, the little one is here to deliver food to the guest officer. ”

"No need, we'll go down and eat later. ”

"Okay, the little one is on the first floor for the guests. ”

Chang Shan ordered the remaining two secret guards, and the three of them wiped their faces and tidied up, pushed open the door and walked out.

They sat in the hall on the first floor, and Xiao Er brought the food neatly, fragrant braised beef, and white fat steamed buns.

Then the people in the other rooms came down one after another.

"How many of the guests look like they're walking darts?"

The shopkeeper came over with a kind smile on his face and accosted him.

Chang Shan took a bite of the steamed bun and swallowed it, "The shopkeeper is really good eyesight, a few of our brothers are just eating with a mouthful, and I found that this is a good place, I want to settle here, but the house I look at seems to be no one, I don't know if the shopkeeper has any way to help contact the owner of the house, the price is easy to discuss." ”

Chang Shan is burly, he has followed Ling Xin since he was a child, and he has a bit of momentum, when he talks like this, he looks like a son in the capital, with a bit of elegance, which is impossible to ignore.

"The guest officer is really a good eye, this mansion was built by a wealthy merchant in our Shacheng back then, but unfortunately the house has been haunted since it was built, and there were one after another dead people in the rich merchant, and then the rich merchant left with the rest of his family, and has not been seen since. ”

"Is it? The shopkeeper is still here to open his doors and do business, so close is he not afraid of affecting the business?"

The shopkeeper obviously didn't expect him to ask like this, but he immediately thought of a way to deal with it: "I'm a person who buries my neck in loess, if I can have other livelihoods, can I still guard here, there are no two guests in this inn all year round, there is no way." ”

He let out a long sigh.

Chang Shan didn't answer, everyone finished eating, Chang Shan simply took a few people out of the inn and went around the sand city, taking advantage of no one's attention, then turned to the gate of the house, a few people rummaged through almost every inch of the gate, every brick was knocked, and there was no mechanism.

But the mark disappeared here, could it be that the Hou Ye was in retreat here?

He climbed over the wall, and the house in front of him looked deserted during the day, and the weeds in the yard showed that the owner of the yard had not been here for a long time.

He was a little discouraged.

"Search the whole city, be sure to find traces. ”

Breakfast was still delivered to the room, Liu Rumei did not appear, Ling Xin finished eating a bowl of noodles, wrapped up the white fat meat buns and put them aside, and waited for the maid to come in and collect the dishes and chopsticks, he tiptoed to the door, there was no footstep, he didn't scream, the two maids would not come in, he thought about the possibility of Liu Rumei suddenly appearing.

After another cup of tea, everything was quiet, Ling Xin boldly took the few white fat meat buns, and then entered the door.

Everything in front of me was clear in the daytime.

The top of the hot spring pool is covered with transparent glazed tiles, and the sun shines down, and the water surface is calm.

However, there was a wall on the other side, and there was no trace of the old woman, so he could not bypass the hot spring pool, and looked around for a while, but did not see a human figure.

"I've brought you something to eat. ”

Ling Xin shouted tentatively, and soon, the sound of the chain dragging on the ground came, and before he could react, the bun in his hand was snatched away by the other party.

The old woman who appeared opposite out of thin air, she looked dirtier than yesterday, and the clothes on her body could no longer be seen in their original colors.

She couldn't wait to send the meat buns to her mouth, and in less than a stick of incense, all four meat buns entered her belly, and she burped, but her eyes were even sharper.

"Do you have something to ask me?"

The old woman was very direct.

Ling Xin didn't want to waste time, the two maidservants at the door walked silently, with a strong breath, I am afraid that they are not opponents at all, not to mention those around Liu Rumei, all of them are strong in martial arts, and if they act rashly, they will only startle the snake.

"I've been poisoned, I wonder if the old-timers have a way?"

"What does it matter to me that you get poisoned?"

The other party glanced at him impatiently, and immediately withdrew his gaze, Ling Xin found that a black cat had come out of her arms, a pair of eyes glowing green in this day, and the cat seemed to be afraid that it immediately got into the old woman's clothes.

"The meat buns just now are very delicious, I am the Yasukuni Hou of Dazhao, as long as the old-timers are willing to detoxify me and leave here, the delicacies of the mountains and seas are not a problem, as long as I can get them all in the world, I will serve them to the old-timers." ”

"It's tempting to hear. ”

The old woman approached him, and the black cat got out of her arms and looked at Ling Xin curiously.

She rudely pulled the clothes around Ling Xin's neck, and her expression relaxed, "Tonight, you come here to find me." ”

She left such a sentence and immediately disappeared in front of her.

Ling Xin stared at the opposite wall for a long time, unable to figure out where she had come from.

On the carriage back to Beijing, Han Rui has always been silent, until now, in fact, her heart is also very chaotic, Ling Xin is not crooked, he succeeded, and he really began to pay attention to him.

Qi Yuan came back from a distance, carrying a pheasant and a rabbit in her hand, and she put them down.

"I'm going to take care of these two things, and the princess doesn't want to go together. ”

Han Rui got out of the carriage, Rouge helped her to follow behind Qi Yuan, and Qingshan followed behind with someone far away.

At the end of the trail is a small stream that winds its way.

In winter, the trees in front of me are bare and grayish-white, except for a few pine trees that are still green.

Qi Yuan disposed of the wild thing, grabbed a handful of pine needles, and planned to go back to the fire.

A pigeon suddenly landed on a nearby tree.

Han Rui's eyes lit up, and she immediately pointed at the pigeon, Qi Yuan's hands were fast, and she grabbed the pigeon in her hand with a beautiful turning motion.

The pigeon has a small note tied to its leg.

Han Rui excitedly took down the note.

Rouge asked anxiously on the side, "Princess, is something wrong?"

Han Rui handed her the note.

"So there's already news of the Hou Ye?"

"Hmm. ”

Han Rui's face showed a smile that she hadn't seen for a long time.

"At present, it seems that this is the case, and the people of Peony have found Shacheng. ”

"Sand City?"

Qi Yuan repeated with a solemn expression.
