At the same time, Wanguan City.

The night was dark and the wind was bitter.

The steep mountain road was rugged and difficult to navigate, and the Jinyi guard who opened the road in front kept shouting: "Watch your step, slow down." ”

Lu Xingyue rode his horse in the middle, and the road ahead was long and there was no end in sight, although his face was expressionless, but he was already anxious inside.

It's been a few days, and I don't know how Lan Sui is at home.

The weather has been getting colder and colder these days, although Wanguancheng is in the south, it is also so cold that it makes people's hearts cold, the yang is in the north, I don't know what the cold is like, will Lan Sui be uncomfortable?

Lu Xingyue was thinking wildly, and the horse had already turned a corner.

The prisoner cart behind made a "bang, bang, bang" chain sound in the bump.

This time he came to Wanguancheng to privately investigate the matter of selling officials, Wanguancheng officials are complicit, fish and flesh the people, and disregard people's lives, and the evil things they have done over the years can be collected to fit a few baskets, if someone doesn't desperately spread the news, I'm afraid that the people of Yangdu are still in the dark.

Emperor Hui'an was furious and sent Jinyi Wei to investigate secretly, and after finding out, he didn't let go of any of them, and he caught them all.

Lu Xingyue and his entourage are extremely efficient, and now everyone has been caught, just waiting to be escorted back to the edict prison and tortured severely, and there will be nothing for him to do if he recruits the same party, and the rest will be decided by Emperor Hui'an.

"Damn, it's so cold, what kind of work have you been doing these days, I have to eat and sleep with him for three days and three nights when I go back!"

"Don't dream, it's still three days and three nights, and there are a lot of things to do after I go back."

"Alas, I really envy those who have wives, what is more comfortable in this cold day than a hot kang head for wives and children?"

"Who has a lady? Aren't we all a bunch of old bachelors? ”

"Why not? Our adults are like beautiful flowers, I'm afraid that we will return to our hearts like arrows at this time, right? ”

The brocade guards immediately burst into laughter.

Lu Xingyue came back to his senses, and a shallow smile appeared on the corner of his lips, "It's good to know, hurry up." ”

"Oooo

"Oops—why am I so sour?"

"My lord, you can be more restrained and take care of the mood of the single brothers!"

The crowd laughed again.

The long night is boring, Jinyiwei is also a person, not iron, and will be sleepy and tired, at this time make some harmless jokes, everyone refreshes themselves, and the province accidentally falls down.

There is a mountain wall on one side of the mountain road, and a bottomless cliff on the other side, and if you fall down, you will really be gone.

"Bell, bell, bell—"

After a while, they went out of the hill and came to a relatively spacious ground, but suddenly a bell rang at the bend in front of them.

Hearing the bell in the middle of the night, no matter how brave the person is, he can't help but be in a trance.

The brocade guard who opened the road slowed down, and someone shouted: "Who pretends to be a ghost in the middle of the night?" ”

Lu Xingyue squinted, but saw several carriages driving out of the corner, and the driver was also startled when he saw them, and hurriedly said, "You guys...... Are you going to rob? ”

Lu Xingyue: "......"

It's no wonder that people are afraid, they are wearing dark clothes, carrying knives, and their faces are blown by the wind so that they have no expression at all, and they really don't look like good people at first glance.

"Who's going to rob?" The Jinyi Wei led by him smiled, "What are you running around without sleep in the middle of the night?" ”

Lu Xingyue looked at it a few times, there were bells hanging on the carriage opposite, and the sound just now was indeed made by them.

The coachman said with a bitter face: "We are afraid of this bell when we hear it, but there is no way, the mountain road here is narrow, if you don't get a bell, the person on the opposite side can't see it, what if you hit it?" ”

Saying this, Jin Yiwei turned his head and glanced at Lu Xingyue, Lu Xingyue bowed, "Let them pass." ”

"Yes!"

Jin Yiwei raised his hand and gestured, and the people behind him followed to the side.

The person in the carriage on the opposite side poked his head out, it was a young boy, he smiled and arched his hand, "Thank you." ”

However, just as the two sides passed by, the ground suddenly shook.

"What's going on?"

The steed first sensed the danger, and kicked its hooves restlessly, screaming one after another.

Lu Xingyue stretched out his hand and stroked the horse's head, trying to calm it down, but it was useless, and the ground shook more and more.

His complexion changed suddenly, "It's not good, it's the earth dragon that turned over!" Dismount! Run to a spacious place! ”

The scene instantly became chaotic.

Almost at the moment when Lu Xingyue's words fell, the mountains on both sides emitted a heavy roar, and then the ground shook the mountains, people turned on their backs, and cracks spread from under their feet.

The rocks kept rolling down, masking the wails of the people.

The horses went wild, completely uncontrolled, fleeing in all directions, and some people were trampled on by the horses, and watched the boulders fall and blood splashed everywhere.

"Run, run—"

Terrible screams pierced the night sky.

Lu Xingyue had just come out of danger when he suddenly heard the cry of a child.

He looked at it fixedly, and saw a little boy under the carriage who was pressed and couldn't move, and the rocks behind him were already approaching.

"Big brother......" The little boy looked at Lu Xingyue in shock, as if he had fallen from the sky.

Lu Xingyue didn't care about speaking, and the rocks fell and smashed on the carriage with a "bang", and the carriage that looked sturdy was instantly torn apart.

The splash of wood smashed on Lu Xingyue's back, and he snorted and protected the little boy in front of him.

The little boy's eyes turned red instantly, but he didn't cry, and bit his lower lip to look at him.

Lu Xingyue swallowed the fishy sweetness in his throat and said in a low voice: "Go!" ”

The two hurriedly ran out, but just now it was only the first wave of tremors, and soon the ground under their feet cracked, and Lu Xingyue held the little boy in his arms and dodged in embarrassment.

However, the road on both sides was blocked, and they had to go ahead.

There was another loud bang, and Lu Xingyue raised his eyes in astonishment, only to see the boulder coming overhead.

"Don't-"

Shen Lansui sat up suddenly, her heart was beating fast, she almost didn't take a breath, she grabbed her collar and breathed heavily, her back was soaked with cold sweat, and it was cold.

She swallowed violently, raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead, and muttered, "It's a dream......"

Guanchun and Xiangxia were alarmed, and they came in one after another and asked, "What's wrong with Madame?" ”

Shen Lansui shook his head and said in a dumb voice: "I had a nightmare." ”

Xiangxia poured her a glass of warm water and handed it over, "Madame is frightened, it's just a nightmare, dreams are all reversed, maybe something good is going to happen." ”

"That's it, don't think too much, madam, it's not dawn yet, will you sleep for a while?"

Guanchun said in a low voice: "The slave is going to light the incense for you?" ”

Shen Lansui hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Okay." ”

I slept until the third pole of the sun, although I didn't have nightmares anymore, but Shen Lansui was always uncomfortable with his dizzy head.

When I wrote this outline, I didn't expect to encounter a real-world earthquake, and I hope everyone is safe!
