"Old man, hurry to Hongze Lake!"

As soon as the words came out, Chu Xunyu regretted it, isn't this nonsense, he is an ordinary man, he is fast, where can he go fast? Hurriedly changed his words and said: "Old man, dock nearby, we have to get off the boat." ”

"Ah, officer, in such a hurry?" the old boatman looked puzzled.

"Yes, there is an emergency, quickly dock!"

The old boatman had no choice but to row to the shore. At this time, Mu Yuan pushed out of the water, took a splash all the way, and returned to the boat, taking off the red stripes, a good "white strip in the waves". Mu Yuan wiped his body dry, put on his clothes, took out the jade pendant he had just found, looked at it for a long time, couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of splash foam, and complained: "Hu Xiaolin is really vulgar, it's just vulgar!"

"Huh, how do you say that?" Chu Xunyu looked at him in surprise.

"Take a closer look. Mu Yuan handed over the jade pendant in his hand, "Originally, there were so many ornaments hanging on the body, clanging and clanging, just like the nouveau riche, and I was not tired, but now I am taking a closer look, it turns out that it is still a fake, fake, and a real layman." ”

When Chu Xunyu heard this, he couldn't help but glance at him, but what he said was reasonable, this thing is indeed a fake, Hu Xiaolin's kid is still hanging so much on his waist, he is really a layman.

As he spoke, the boat had already docked, and the three of them jumped off the bow of the boat, threw a silver ingot to the old man, settled the ship's account, and immediately went ashore to find the farmer. There are a lot of farmhouses on this shore, a pastoral scenery, and there must be no shortage of horse breeding, after all, Wangchen is just recovering from a serious illness, and it is not good to move to control the sky. Sure enough, under one of the eaves, it was easy to find the horses, and the three of them immediately ran over, knocked on the door vigorously, and shouted, "Open the door, open the door." ”

A middle-aged man walked out of the house with his wife, and when he saw the three of them, he felt that the instrument was extraordinary, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly asked, "Three little brothers, what's the matter?"

"Buy your horses, three. ”

"This ......" the man looked hesitant, as if he was a little reluctant.

Chu Xunyu raised his hand impatiently, took out a big ingot, shook it, and asked directly, "Do you want to sell it?"

"Sell, sell. When the man saw that the person who came was so generous, it seemed that he expected it to be good, he must be the son of a big family, and he was so excited that he even stammered when he spoke.

"Okay, quickly put on the saddle and prepare the horse!" Taking advantage of the opportunity for the farmer to go out and set up the horse, Chu Xunyu took out a green pill, which was fragrant, and with a force of two fingers, he crushed the pill and gave it to Mu Yuan and Wangchen, only the size of a sesame seed, this is not Chu Xunyu's stinginess, this medicine has too much effect, and when the time comes, it is estimated that he will lose his strength and die on the spot.

The saddle was set, and the three of them came to the horse's mouth, rubbed the medicine into the horse's mouth with their fingers, and suddenly, the three mortal horses were like divine power from heaven, panting, and they were about to come out of the reins in a vague way. Everyone immediately turned over their horses, clamped the horse's belly, rode their horses, and galloped out, leaving only the stunned peasant couple who were watching on the spot.

"Hey, hey, the head of the house, it's a loss, it's a big loss, this horse is cheap!" said the peasant woman with a reluctant face.

"Yes, yes, but when did our horses become like this?" the man looked surprised, watching the backs of the three people in the distance slowly disappear......

"I said, why are you so generous now?" Mu Yuan's face was full of incomprehensible expressions, because seeing Chu Xunyu's few shots, they were all very generous.

"Nothing. Chu Xunyu didn't care, and explained while galloping, "When I went home this time, I added a lot of mortal property, gold and silver, and packed a big bag. ”

"Hey, hey, okay, okay. As soon as he heard this, Mu Yuan was overjoyed, and it seemed that the food on the road had fallen.

"I don't take you to flowers, you figure it out yourself. Chu Xunyu didn't even look at him, he knew what this kid was thinking, and immediately poured a basin of cold water.

The three of them were like arrows full of arrows, galloping all the way on the country road, leaving behind a long string of dust, and the pedestrians who saw it were greatly surprised, only to feel that three figures flashed, and they couldn't help but sigh what kind of noble horse this was, and the speed was so extraordinary.

However, after more than an hour, the three of them rushed to Hongze Lake, and they saw the lake from a distance, and they all suppressed the speed of their horses, but what was surprising was that there was a busy scene here, and there seemed to be no abnormal movement. It is really strange that there are groups of ducks playing in the water on the lake, farmers holding boats to fish, and pedestrians passing by on the shore of the lake, bartering without any abnormal movement.

Looking at it stupidly like this, trying to find out the problem is tantamount to a fool's dream, the three of them all turned over and dismounted, led the horses, walked slowly, and before they knew it, they came to a farmhouse tea shop. It is said to be a tea shop, that is, a few tables and a curtain, and it is called a tea shop. As soon as the three of them walked over, the boss immediately greeted them, opened his mouth and asked, "Guest officer, make a cup of tea and drink Hazi?"

"Nonsense, why don't you drink tea. Chu Xunyu didn't care about Hu Xiaolin's affairs because he was so concerned about it, and he replied casually in a strange language.

However, as soon as this question was answered, it was strange to Wangchen, who grabbed Mu Yuan and asked in a low voice: "What language do these two people speak?" ”

"Oh, this, it's the Huaiyang dialect of Jiangnan, and it hasn't come out of the Huaiyang realm yet. Mu Yuan replied with a smile.

Wangchen shook his head helplessly, and asked aloud to the boss: "Boss, do you know how to speak official language?"

"Of course I will, you command, guest officer!" the boss smiled and quickly waved his hand to wipe the table.

"Oh, it's good to be able to speak, and we're good at talking. Wangchen nodded and took the lead and sat down.

After a while, the boss held three tea bowls, came to the front, put them on the table, and said with a smile: "Three of you taste, the fragrance is light and elegant." ”

Since ancient times, if you want to inquire about things, the best place is the Qinglou Chu Pavilion, among the teahouses and wine shops, why? Because there is a large flow of people here, so Mu Yuan picked up the tea bowl, tasted it slightly, and immediately waved his hand and threw over a number of copper plates, exclaiming: "Yes, reward." "Don't say it, although Mu Yuan is a Buddhist cultivator, but for some reason, Master Hui Tan has never let him be ordained, nor does he wear monk clothes, with half short hair, plus a long robe, but he is also born with a good face.

This shot rewarded, the happy boss smiled, thinking that these people must be from the king of Jinling, and the shot is called a generous. But when Chu Xunyu saw it, his brows suddenly wrinkled, and he secretly said carelessly, and picked up a bargain for Mu Yuan again, why? Because this kid has always been very picky, saving some money to buy snacks to eat, this time to reward, he will inevitably turn around and cry poor, and ask for money from himself, this is called one point out, two points in.

Looking at Mu Yuan's triumphant smile, Chu Xunyu asked helplessly: "Boss, let me ask you, have there been any changes by Hongze Lake in the past few days?"

"Abnormal movement?" the boss was a little surprised, "What does the guest mean when he says abnormal movement......"

"Anything, Zhang's family, Li Jiaxiao, which family's things are stolen, or where someone dies, or where the light shines, it's okay. ”

"This ......" the boss hesitated for a while, and then asked cautiously, "It shouldn't be, but well, I heard that not far away, Lao Li Tou and his daughter-in-law went to the ancestral grave in other places, and as a result, they were infected with yin qi, and they were about to ask a Taoist priest to exorcise ghosts, is this counted?"

"Well, the great god of jumping?" Chu Xunyu said strangely: "The method of exorcism is a bit interesting." ”

"Hehe, guest officer, you use it slowly, I'll go back to work first. ”

"Go, go. ”

After the people left, Chu Xunyu lowered his head and said: "It's a little interesting, this family wants to do it, it seems that we have to go and see it." ”

"Helpless!" Mu Yuan sighed, isn't it, there is a quiet color here, there is no movement, only the strange thing is that this Dharma is not good, if you want to see it, you can't do it.

After a while, the tea in the cup was tasteless, so he put down the tea bowl in his hand, asked Lao Li Tou where his house was, and walked out of the tea house, led the three horses again, and walked slowly by the lake, while looking at the lake scenery, while thinking about things.

As he was walking, Chu Xunyu remembered and hurriedly asked, "Mu Yuan, did you go back and ask Master Hui Tan?" Why did he send you out?"

"This ......" Mu Yuan hesitated for a while, "I can't say this well, I went to ask, but the master pushed back and made a lot of excuses, but one thing I heard was that he seemed to have received some rumors, and knew that I was staying in Jiangnan, and it was very likely to be dangerous, so he quietly sent me out to work and stay away from Jiangnan." ”

These words are also logical, explaining the story of why Master Hui Tan actually appeared in the kitchen next door so magically, and Wangchen said again: "Also, that woman in black, transformed into my appearance and blended into the wedding banquet of the Medicine King's Mansion, what is she going to do? If our previous guess was correct, it was aimed at the eight of you, then, Gongsun Yan and Mu Yuan were both present that day, which one was she going to harm?"

"This ......" Chu Xunyu and Mu Yuan both hesitated, and no one could say well.

Wangchen suddenly exclaimed: "Could it be that this woman wants to kill two birds with one stone and assassinate the two of you at the same time?"

"What?" Chu Xunyu was shocked, "It's very possible, but how can she be so conceited and kill these two in full view of everyone?"

"It's not easy. Mu Yuan pulled a gradually withering willow branch in his hand, "Didn't you mention that the woman had a 'autumn cicada around the branches', mixed in directly, and went down to the wine silently, and we were finished." ”

"It's even more unlikely. Of course, Chu Xunyu denied it, "You think this winding autumn cicada is a rock sugar gourd on the street, you can eat it at any time, the preparation process is extremely complicated as far as I know, and the materials required are extremely luxurious, in such a short time, she can't match it well, and more importantly, if she really poisons it, the whole house will have already laid down, and you won't live until now." ”

"Then what is she going to do?" Mu Yuan sighed, unable to think of it.

As the three of them were talking, they had already walked to the vicinity of the courtyard of the old Li head, and they could see a group of people gathered around from afar, crowded at the gate to watch the excitement, Chu Xunyu and the others tied up the horses and squeezed in. Finally picked up the crowd and squeezed to the front row, and when he looked at it, Chu Xunyu was so surprised that he almost bit his tongue, why? Because the big thing in the yard that jumped up and down was none other than Hu Xiaolin......
