61. The Book of the Lan Girl (2)

Elder Wu and the others examined the corpses to see if there were any living mouths, but they found nothing.

Qin Chuan told him about the relationship between Mu Chao and Mu Changfeng's father and daughter, raised the letter in his hand, and sighed: "Steward Mu died tragically because he sent the letter of his young lady to me!"

Wu, Deng, and Wang all knew about Mu Qinglan and Qin Chuan's affair, and the three of them glanced at each other, and Elder Wu said: "Helper, since Miss Mu sent this Mu housekeeper to send you a letter, my subordinates thought that Mu Changfeng would definitely take precautions." ”

Qin Chuan was stunned, and the three elders of Zhilu Dao all wanted to know the content of Lu Dao's letter, so they opened the letter at the moment. But I saw a few lines of hairpins written on a plain note, and the writing was elegant and delicate, which was indeed Mu Qinglan's handwriting. Strangely, when it is unfolded and read, there are only three verses:

"Life and death are broad, and Zicheng said. Hold the hand of the son, and grow old with the son. ”

"Every day, I don't see you, drink the water of the Yangtze River!"

"The peacock flies southeast, wandering for five miles. ”

Wu, Deng, and Wang Sanlao peeked at it, and there was no information from Mu Changfeng and the others, so they couldn't help but sigh at the same time, feeling very disappointed, and then their faces showed a look of disappointment: "Miss Mu must have missed the helper and couldn't help it, so she wrote these three poems to express her longing." ”

The three elders originally hoped that the letter could mention the clues of Mu Changfeng and others, but they didn't expect it to be just an affectionate confession of a young couple in love, and seeing the smile on the corner of the helper's mouth, with a tender and sweet face, he quietly gestured to Qunhao and made everyone retreat.

Qin Chuan suddenly said: "Let's find the ground and bury these corpses! Although the Wasp Gang is an enemy of us, everything is closed to death, so don't let the white bones be exposed!"

Qin Chuan bowed a few times in front of Mu Chao's grave, and then led the crowd to leave.

Returning to the helm, Qin Chuan sat down in the study, carefully reading the three lines of poetry written on the plain note, and all that flashed in his mind was the beautiful face of a young girl, with a smile on his face. That's naturally Mu Qinglan.

Thinking of the lingering feelings in Mu Qinglan's three sentences, the meaning of lovesickness, I couldn't help but lose my soul, and sat alone in a trance for a long time, and my chest became more and more upside down and difficult to help myself.

I don't know how much time passed, and suddenly I heard my footsteps light, and a person came to the outside of the study and gently knocked on the door.

Qin Chuan was shocked to realize that the sky was already dark, and he was slightly stunned, and responded: "Is it Yumei?" Come in!"

Yi Wanyu pushed the door and walked into the study, reached out and picked up the fire knife, flint and paper media from the tray of the candlestick, lit the fire, lit the candle, and said softly: "Brother Chuan, didn't bother you, right?" Qin Chuan shook his head, looked at her pretty face listlessly, and slowly handed her the letter paper.

Yi Wanyu grinned and said, "What did Sister Mu give me about the love letter you gave you at this time?"

Qin Chuan saw her smile like a flower. He looked very happy, and his heart moved, and he took her slender hand and opened the letter in front of her. said: "Sister Lan has a letter. Although I didn't say anything, I was relieved to know that she was doing well. After a slight pause, he hesitated: "Sister Yu." You, you're not going to be upset, are you?"

Yi Wanyu glanced at him and snuggled up to him softly. smiled and said, "Why am I so stingy in your heart?"

Qin Chuan smiled dumbly and said, "I thought you would be jealous!" Yi Wanyu snorted and pouted: "Even if you are jealous, it should be Sister Lan! Your people are by my side, within reach, but Sister Lan She told you, 'I live at the head of the Yangtze River, you live at the end of the Yangtze River', and she is almost lovesick." Brother Chuan, stop thinking nonsense!"

Qin Chuan stretched out his arms to hug her delicate body and sighed: "If Sister Lan is also here, I don't know how good it would be!"

The two sat next to each other on their desks, their ears grinding, and they were silent for a while. After a while, I suddenly heard the sound of footsteps outside the door, but it was two maidservants who came to deliver food with food boxes. The two looked at each other and smiled, and then slowly separated.

Yi Wanyu smiled lightly at Qin Chuan and said, "Zhilu Dao, you can't get enough of it, I arranged for the two of her to deliver dinner, don't you mind if I accompany you?"

Qin Chuan was already grunting with hunger at this time, and he reluctantly smiled: "With a beautiful woman as a companion, I can't ask for it!"

When the two maidservants set up the wine and food and left, Qin Chuan was already hungry and buried himself in eating and drinking.

He was eating happily, and when he looked up, he caught a glimpse of Yi Wanyu holding the letter paper, frowning slightly, and her pretty face showed admiration.

Qin Chuan had been reading this letter for a long time, so naturally there would be nothing strange about it, but when he saw Yi Wanyu looking like this, he drank half a bowl of chicken soup in one go, put down the soup bowl, and asked, "What's wrong, what did you find?"

Yi Wanyu shook her head, suddenly the corners of her mouth crooked, handed the letter to Qin Chuan, and said, "Brother Chuan, take a look at these three poems!"

The first of these three poems comes from the "Book of Songs" in the Spring and Autumn Period, the second sentence is the word "Fortune Operator" by Li Zhiyi of the Song Dynasty, and the third sentence is "The Peacock Flying Southeast" in the Southern Dynasty. The three lines of poetry are not difficult to understand, and they are all about the love of men and women, there is no doubt about it.

Qin Chuan naturally understood the meaning of the poem, but after Yi Wanyu said this, he thought about it carefully, his eyes lit up, and he suddenly realized: "The matter of my engagement with Yumei and Lanmei has already spread in the rivers and lakes, and Senior Mu and others know about it. Lan Mei is with his father, if she wants to communicate with me under her father's nose, her father will naturally be extremely sad. But if she writes a few love words, Qianren will give them to me, but Senior Mu will not be able to refuse. Well, most of the things that Mu Chao sent the letter were acquiesced by Mu seniors, and after the Hanzhong Twin Bees heard the news later, they were afraid that Mu Chao would reveal their secrets, so they moved to kill!"

Seeing him look like this, Yi Wanyu said with a smile: "Brother Chuan, this sister Lan of yours is not only extremely beautiful, but also extremely smart. I guess Mu Changfeng decided to read this letter, and even Sister Lan wrote it in front of her father, and it was directly handed over to someone Mu Changfeng trusted to send it to you. ”

Qin Chuan nodded and said, "If that's the case, then these three verses of poetry don't seem to be nothing, but in fact, most of them have other mysteries!"

Yi Wanyu stretched out a white and tender little finger against her right cheek, looking at Qin Chuan with a smile instead of a smile, her eyes showed a naughty and charming smile, but she didn't answer him.

Qin Chuan knew that she had guessed the clue, and his heart was hot, so he read the three lines of poetry again, and said curtly: "'Death and life are broad, and Zicheng said. Hold the hand of the son, and grow old with the son. This poem mostly says that she knows the rumors that I am going to marry her, and is willing to end up with me. 'Thinking about you every day and not seeing you, drinking the water of the Yangtze River together'. In fact, Lan Mei's original meaning should be the first two sentences: 'I live at the head of the Yangtze River, and you live at the end of the Yangtze River'. With that, he reached out and scratched his scalp.

Yi Wanyu saw that Qin Chuan's face was blank, and chuckled: "The Yangtze River that your sister Lan is talking about here should naturally be the Yellow River. This 'head of the river and tail of the river' or something, naturally it is 'the head of the river tail'. Brother Chuan, if Luoyang, where we are now, is Jiangtou, then where do you say Lan Mei is very likely?"

Qin Chuan was taken aback and blurted out, "Could it be Zhengzhou?"

Yi Wanyu shook her head and chuckled, "'The peacock flies southeast. Five miles and one wandering. 'Alas, I really admire Sister Lan, under her father's nose, she can have such a quick wit and come up with this wonderful method of communication!"

Qin Chuan sat down slowly and sighed: "It turns out that the last sentence is the most important thing. She's telling me that she's ...... southeast of Luoyang right now," Huo Di stood up, put his hands behind his back, and walked around the study.

Yi Wanyu chuckled. shook his head again and again, and said, "Brother Chuan, if you walk around like this again, I will be dizzy." I can't stand it anymore. Qin Chuan smiled, but still didn't stop.

Yi Wanyu suddenly stretched out her white and tender slender hand again, beckoned to Qin Chuan, and said, "That's it." Let's write the name of a place on the table, and see if we can guess the result?"

Qin Chuan had a general idea at this time, but he didn't dare to be sure after all. Hearing Yi Wanyu say this, she immediately stood up and said happily: "Okay!" Yi Wanyu waved her hand and said, "Don't move yet, and come back when I finish writing." Don't peek at it!" Qin Chuan nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Okay, I won't look at it." Write it. ”

Yi Wanyu took out a wolf pen from the pen holder and waved it on the rice paper. When she finished, she turned the paper over and left it on the bookcase.

Qin Chuan approached with a smile, took the pen, spread out another piece of paper, and waved it away.

Yi Wanyu watched from the sidelines, and when she was on the side, she couldn't stop laughing, laughing so hard that she couldn't straighten her waist.

Qin Chuan hurriedly opened the letter she had written, and when he saw it, he couldn't help laughing.

It turned out that what the two of them wrote was exactly the same, and it was the three words "Shaolin Temple"!

It is necessary to know that the southeast direction of Luoyang is Dengfeng County and Shaomu Mountain, and the two of them have traveled back and forth to the places they passed through many times. And where Mu Changfeng's father and daughter are very likely to go, there is only Shaolin Temple in Dengfeng County.

Qin and Yi laughed for a while, their eyes met, not only surprised because of their hearts, but also unspeakably happy after guessing the problem.

Yi Wanyu stretched out her hand and gently held Qin Chuan's palm, let out a long breath, and said, "I've always felt that something was wrong these days, but I haven't figured it out. At first, I thought I was too worried about Sister Sang's safety, but now I realize that this is what happened!"

Qin Chuan's heart moved, and said: "Are you saying that we were about to go to Shaolin Temple to meet the abbot of Lingdu that day, but because Deputy Gang Leader Qiu and Brother Yuan reported that there were clues in Luoyang at the same time, we hurried back, so we missed the trip to Shaolin Temple in vain!"

Yi Wanyu said slowly: "It should be that someone is unwilling to let us go to Shaolin Temple, so they deliberately did it!"

As soon as she said this, Qin Chuan was taken aback, and lost his voice: "I see, otherwise, why would the Hanzhong Double Bee and the Sky Cloud, who have not been heard from all the time, suddenly appear in the Luoyang area? That is the plan to divert the tiger from the mountain!"

Yi Wanyu frowned slightly, and said: "Brother Chuan, if it is really as you and I expected, I am afraid that the senior monks of Shaolin Temple will be very bad!"

The more Qin Chuan listened, the more shocked he became, and said: "Won't it?" The master of Shaolin Temple is like a cloud, and you have seen the kung fu of the abbot of Lingdu that day, so you may not be under Mu Changfeng!"

Yi Wanyu shook her head and sighed: "Silly brother, there is a way that 'a gentleman can be bullied', and the abbot of Lingdu is a great monk, naturally a humble gentleman, but where is the opponent of a treacherous villain!" After a pause, he sighed: "Mu Changfeng is really worthy of being a generation of heroes, and he knows that the most dangerous place is the safest." He was poisoned by the Tang Gate, and it was said that he should find a barren mountain far away from the Central Plains to recuperate, but he didn't expect him to do the opposite, hiding in the Shaolin Temple, the core of the Central Plains martial arts. Wonderful, wonderful!"

Qin Chuan remembered what Mu Qinglan said about the abbot of Lingdu who had saved Mu Changfeng in the past, and sighed: "I hope that Senior Mu will not hurt the Shaolin monks, and the grace will be avenged, but it will make the world laugh!"

I turned around and wanted to get out. Yi Wanyu hurriedly grabbed his hand and asked, "Where are you going?" Qin Chuan said: "I want to tell Qiu Dalun, Zhao Jin, and Elder Wu about this matter, so that the Beggar Gang and the Baixi Gang can deal with it as soon as possible and try to go to the aid of Shaolin Temple." ”

Yi Wanyu said: "Brother Chuan, Shicai is just a guess between the two of us, and it may not be correct. Besides, even if the guess is correct, Shaolin Temple is only a foregone conclusion if it falls into the hands of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, so many days have passed, Mu Changfeng is killing or killing those great monks, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to change. ”

Qin Chuan was stunned, couldn't help but be worried, frowned, and said: "No wonder the rivers and lakes have rarely heard the movements of the Shaolin faction recently, it turns out that ......" sighed, and said: "I only hope that Senior Mu can show mercy!" Yi Wanyu clenched his hand and said with a smile: "Brother Chuan, don't worry, I dare to assure you that the senior monks of Shaolin Temple are safe and sound this time." ”

Qin Chuan looked at her face in a daze and asked, "What is it for?"

Yi Wanyu smiled and said: "First, because Shaolin Lingdu abbot Yu Mu Changfeng has the grace to save his life, no matter how vicious Mu Changfeng is, he will not openly take revenge and do things that make the world's heroes cold; Fourth, ......" suddenly stopped talking and stopped talking.

Qin Chuan was listening attentively, and suddenly saw her pretty face raised slightly, looking sideways at herself, smiling, like a rose suddenly blooming under the candlelight, delicate and moving. He wanted to ask further, but when he saw that she was beautiful and blew like an orchid, he was stunned for a while.

Yi Wanyu smiled, stretched out her hand and gently pinched his nose, and said, "Brother Chuan, is this the fourth reason, it's up to you to tell me, right?" Qin Chuan came back to his senses at this time, and after a moment of contemplation, he nodded and said, "Yes, the fourth is that there is Lan Mei by her father's side! (To be continued......)
