Chapter Sixty-Nine: It's All in Chenliu

Han Yue and Huan Yi went out of Jingzhou, all the way non-stop, day and night, and the horses were so tired that they changed three times. Finally returned to Huainan, the Miao room outside the city. Mengzi and Yuzi have been back for many days, and they are naturally very happy to see him. The whole room was also much more lively at once.

After changing and washing, Han Huan and the others walked into the hall after a long absence. At this time, the two had recovered to Lhotse and uncle.

In the charcoal pond in the center of the hall, a large pot of charcoal fire had already been lit, and the huge room was also roasted warmly.

Lhotse had long half-damp hair and wore a pale white thin cotton gown with a scarlet tunic that he hadn't worn for a long time, loosely tied with a white strap. He walked to the charcoal pond and sat down on the ground, stretched out his slender and white hands, and warmed his hands while greeting his uncle who had just entered the house.

The uncle was always dressed neatly. Seeing that Lhotse beckoned him to sit down, he also walked to the charcoal pond and sat down cross-legged next to Lhotse.

The gully had already put skewers of beef and mutton on the charcoal stove in the middle, and flipped them from time to time to prevent the meat from being burned. After a while, the smell of meat mixed with the smell of charcoal smoke soon filled the air, and the grease drippeds hissed on the fire.

Mengzi hugged the two big altars and twisted in with her daughter Hong. Seeing that the two of them were already there, he also walked to the side of the charcoal pond, poured wine for the three of them and himself, and said coquettishly as he poured: "Second master, you are finally back." I'm going to have a good drink today. You're not here, and I and I don't even feel tasteless when we eat. ”

Lhotse picked up the wine bowl, looked at it for a while, put it under his nose and sniffed it, nodded to confirm that it was good wine. Seeing this, Mengzi said, "Don't worry, it must be good wine." We bought it for you in Huainan City. ”

Luo Zi smiled slightly, picked up the bowl and raised it to the three of them, then raised his head and drank the wine in the bowl in one go, meaning to do it first as respect. The uncle also changed his usual appearance of sitting on the floor, sitting cross-legged on the floor, and he also took a wine glass and gave a bowl in return. He held up a large bowl with one hand and a meat signature with the other, drank it all, and after drinking, he wiped the meat stick in his hand into his mouth, and a string of meat fell into his mouth cleanly. Yumeko knelt on the floor, took the bowl with both hands, looked at the three of them, smiled and took a sip, in his opinion, several people can be together better than anything else.

After a while, the three bowls of wine went down, and at this time, Lhotse seemed to feel hot on his body, shook off the long shirt draped outside, and ripped off the neckline of the middle coat, revealing a white neck and half of his shoulders.

Mengzi refilled the wine for Lhotse and asked, "What did you gain from going to the south this time?"

The uncle took a piece of mutton, put it in his mouth, and said, "This is a long story. First of all, how are you doing?"

Yumeko said, "Don't mention it, there's nothing." ”

"Nothing, won't you just be looking around again? The uncle said half-jokingly.

"No, I'm not Miko, when did you see me playful. Yumeko argued.

"Let's go to Dian Wei's hometown to stay and check the bamboo slips. As a result, after I went, don't say anything wordless bamboo slips, even the bamboo is gone. Yumeko continued.

"Oh, what do you mean by that?"

"What Mengzi meant, when we got there to inquire, we found out that his village had long been gone. Gully explained.

"No, what can you say about this?" the uncle looked at the gully suspiciously.

"It's gone, it's gone. It is said that one day a few decades ago, suddenly that village was slaughtered overnight. Yumeko continued

"Tu Village, have you been to see it yourself?" the uncle was surprised.

"Go, I've gone to see it with the gully, it's really a ruin, it does look like it has been abandoned for many years. Not to mention human figures in the village, even ghosts can be seen. It is said that the situation was terrible, and countless people died, and they all became unjust spirits and floated in the village all day long. So no one dares to live there so far. Yumeko described it vividly.

"So unfortunate?" Luo Zi turned the wine glass in his hand, as if he was interested in this matter, "When did you slaughter the village?"

"I inquired with the old people in the nearby village and told me that it was more than 60 years ago. Gully said.

"More than sixty years ago?" Lhotse turned his head to look at his uncle.

"If it was sixty years ago, it should have been before and after Cao Huanchan gave up the throne. I remember that in the second year of the Western Jin Dynasty, the second year of Cao Huanchan, he was named the king of Chen Liu. Uncle Lang said.

"It's all in Chenliu, what a coincidence. Lhotse's eyebrows raised.

"By the way, Liu Xie, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, was also named King Chen Liuwang by Cao Pi. ”

"It's all King Chen Liu, it's a coincidence. Lhotse's eyebrows raised again.

The conversation between Luozi and his uncle also aroused the curiosity of Mengzi and Yuzi. They said, "That's a coincidence." But why did he seal King Chen Liu, but he wanted to slaughter the city in his own fiefdom?

"Who did the slaughter of the village, did you say it?" the uncle continued to ask.

"It was said that it was slaughtered in the middle of the night, and not a single living mouth was left, and even the village was burned. It is said that the fire burned night after day, and no one in the nearby village dared to go to autumn, and watched the fire in the sky. By the time the fire was extinguished, the entire village, along with the surrounding crops, was in ruins. Gully said.

"It's ruthless. The slaughter was so thorough. The uncle sighed.

"Did you find anything suspicious from the village?" asked Lhotse again.

"We went three times and didn't find anything suspicious, except for the ruins and garbage. But I always felt that there was something strange there, but I couldn't put it into words. Gully muttered.

"He's suspicious. I felt uncomfortable. Yumeko glanced at the gully.

"This time, you Chen Liu will not go in vain, and when Miko comes back, we may have to go to Chen Liu again. Lhotse said.

"That's right, why hasn't this Miko come back yet? I won't go anywhere to play again. Yumeko asked sharply.

"Didn't he send a message?" said Luozi's brow furrowed slightly. Several people looked at each other and shook their heads, indicating no.

"Nothing will happen, shall we go and answer it?" asked the child.

"How? I don't know where he is now. Besides, he jumps up and down, who can find it. Yumeko said.

"Where did you let him go?" asked the uncle.

"Langya. Lhotse burst out two cold words. smashed the other three into a daze.

"You let Miko go to Langya? You must know that we are not qualified to go to Langya at all. Only the head of the seven sons can return to Shandong Langya, and they have to be ordered. If you don't go, you actually let Miko go to Langya alone. It's simply ... Yumeko jumped up first, blurting out a barrage of questions. The uncle glared at him, and didn't dare to say the last half of the sentence "This is simply sending death".

Lhotse stood up and walked back and forth in the house with his hands behind his back. The other three were silent. According to the rules, except for the initial entry into the Seven Sons, they had to be trained in the Langya Palace for three months, and then they could not go back, unless they were transported back to the Langya Tombs after their death. Letting Miko go to Langya this time is indeed a violation of the rules. I don't know what Lhotse's purpose is.
