Chapter 84 International Students
The next morning, the fire had been extinguished.
Fortunately, the Lu Family Bookstore has its own courtyard and is close to a small river.
After the fire, Wuhoupu in the city immediately mobilized the nearby residents to use the river water to fight the fire, and after a night of fighting, the fire finally did not spread to other places.
This Wuhou shop is the fire brigade officially organized by Shangyuan City, such a large city, if there is no fire prevention mechanism, once a fire occurs, the consequences are unimaginable.
After the fire was extinguished, the Lu family bookstore was almost burned to the ground, with black smoke curling and messing everywhere.
Taemin, the county guard, who had rushed to hear the news, stood alone in front of the ruins, looking lonely and sluggish.
"My lord," Huo Anu, whose face was covered with black and gray stains, sat down next to Xu Zun tiredly, and said stupidly, "This fire seems to have been specially put for us?" ”
"How?" Xu Zun also had messy hair and was extremely embarrassed, but his face was still cool, "Do you still say that I am a soldier?" ”
Huo Anu shook his head slightly, his eyes looked at the ruins in the distance, and his eyes were also a little dazed.
"Why? Why? ”
Looking at Zhao Yu again, it is no longer enough to describe him with the word "embarrassed", but I saw that his hair was bursting, his face was scorched, his clothes were torn, and he was full of holes, as if he was a cannonball.
If it weren't for the physical and mental exhaustion and soreness, I'm afraid Xu Zun and Huo Anu would have to laugh out loud.
"Someone is following, we don't check, Fire Maiden ......" Zhao Yu complained, "You master is out of standard!" ”
Unexpectedly, Huo Anu did not get angry for the first time, but nodded pertinently and said:
"This can only show one problem, either the people who follow us are too high-skilled and even I don't notice; Either that, or they've been waiting for us here for a long time! ”
"Burn stupid, look......" Zhao Yu stretched out his finger, "These are obviously two problems!" ”
"I don't understand," Huo Anu looked at Xu Zun, "You came to the bookstore on a temporary basis tonight, how could the person who lit the fire know that we were coming?" ”
"I'm thinking about this too," Xu Zun nodded, "It should be, whether we come here or not, they're ready to burn this place down!"
"Perhaps, we just happened to arrive, and they had to do it early."
"Who? Who is it? Fire Anu clenched his fists, "Why are they burning this place?" Afraid that we will find Lu Xiaofeng's family? Or are you afraid that we will find the daughter of the Hou Mansion? ”
"Hey......" Huo Anu said this, and Zhao Yu was also worried, "Lord Xu, this place has been burned, can you still find the daughter of the Hou Mansion?"
"Don't forget, you have made a military order with Hou Ye, if you can't find it, you can ...... Tsk......"
As soon as Zhao Yu spoke, smoke even came out of his mouth, and Xu Zun almost couldn't hold back when he saw it, so he quickly covered his mouth and smiled.
"Yes, my lord," said Huo Anu, "the clue is broken, what are we going to do?" ”
Who knows, after asking, the two found that Xu Zun was staring at Taemin County Shou in the distance in a daze, as if he was thinking about something.
"What's wrong?" Huo Anu was curious, "You don't think that there is a problem with this county guard, do you?" ”
"No, I just think it's a little weird," Xu Zun said as he stared at Taemin, "I specifically mentioned Lu Xiaofeng to him yesterday, and now that the bookstore is on fire, according to the normal reaction, shouldn't he come over and question me urgently?" ”
"Oh?" Huo Anu also looked at Taemin in the distance and asked, "What do you mean by quick eyebrows?" ”
"It's just a rush to be in vain," Xu Zun explained, "and the dialect can also be understood as being anxious." ”
"Oh, you said you were in a hurry, wouldn't it be over?" Huo Anu whispered, "You have to speak a tongue with a foreigner with me, cut ......"
"Wait, foreigner?" Xu Zun turned to look at Huo Anu and seemed to think of something.
"My lord, don't you be so surprised, okay?" Huo Anu was looked at a little embarrassed.
"Yes," while Zhao Yu was thinking about the previous topic, "This county guard is indeed a little wrong!" ”
But seeing that Taemin was still looking at the ruins in a daze, he didn't mean to come over and ask Xu Zun and the others.
"Anu," while Xu Zun was on the topic, and said to Huo Anu, "You're not right, our clues are not broken.
"It's because there's a fire here that it shows even more that I'm right!
"Miss Lu's disappearance is indeed not simple!"
"Yes...... Really? "Huo Anu's brain is no longer enough," You mean, the mysterious disappearance of Lu Xiaofeng's family has a lot to do with the disappearance of the daughter of the Hou Mansion?" ”
"Yes!" Xu Zun nodded, "This fire, someone wants to cover up the traces, and they don't want us to find out anything!" ”
"Since it has been burned, doesn't that mean that the clue is still broken?" Huo Anu spread out his hands, "I seem to be right, right?" ”
"This clue is broken, we can go and check another one," Xu Zun said with a glint in his eyes, "Anu, you go back and take a shower and dress up now, you will have an important task today!" ”
"Huh?" Fire Aonu's eyes widened, "What task?" ”
Xu Zun glanced at Taimin in the distance again and said two words: "Go to school!" ”
……
Qinglan Academy is located in the Qinglan Temple of Shangyuan City.
Since its establishment, no man has ever entered.
However, Huo Anu is different, not only a woman, but also a foreign woman. She came to Qinglan Academy to study, which naturally attracted the special attention of the Taoist aunts in the museum.
Huo Anu is a native of the Western Regions, and although the Western Regions belong to Daxuan, they cannot be regarded as of the same lineage.
Therefore, Huo Anu is an authentic international student!
Previously, Xu Zun had already written a letter of recommendation to Huo Anu, in which he bluntly stated that Huo Anu's identity was the assistant of Xu Zun in Tangzhou.
I came to Qinglan Academy this time so that I could learn poetry and etiquette so that I could work in the future.
Don't look at this Qinglan Academy is quite mysterious to men, but it is not harsh on women who are studying, as long as it is a woman with a certain status and financial resources, they will welcome it.
After all, in such a feudal background, there are not many people in the family who really want women to study.
What's more, the college only holds classes twice a week, and they also hope that more women will come to study.
However, Huo Anu had just arrived, so naturally it was impossible for him to become an official student so quickly. can only be arranged to observe in the school, and can only be turned into a regular after the expiration date.
Of course, Huo Anu came with a mission, and it was enough to be able to attend a lecture once.
Seeing that Anu was allowed to enter the academy, Xu Zun breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Zhao Yu couldn't understand it at all:
"My lord, isn't it a little too late to go inside to look for clues now? Besides......" He looked at the Dao Gu at the gate of the academy and said worriedly, "People and Miss Lu are a family, what can be boring inside?"
"You don't think Miss Lu will be hidden in the academy, do you?"
Seeing that Xu Zun also looked at the academy and didn't speak, Zhao Yu continued to express his concern: "Moreover, don't you know Huo Wangwang's frizzy personality and fiery temper?"
"If this guy makes trouble inside, he's going to get you in big trouble......
"Hmph," Xu Zun smiled faintly, "I sent her in, and I didn't let her be a good baby!" Let's go......"
"Let's go?" Zhao Yu hurriedly asked, "Where are we going?" ”
"Yamen," Xu Zun said, "Let's see if the corpse of the monk-robed woman has made progress......
