Chapter 54 (2/2)
Three li of peach blossom, Yang Zijin sneezes for no reason.
After Liansheng's drive these days, it's almost the end of the day. Yang Zijin asks ah Xian to publicize in the busy market like last time. It's a very busy day!
The annual imperial examination will be held next month. In recent days, students have arrived in the imperial city. For a while, the price of the Imperial City Inn has doubled several times, and the poor students can only sleep in the streets.
Yang Zijin sees the situation and sympathizes with her. She thinks that when she took the college entrance examination, she had her family to accompany her and only reviewed. The pressure is still so great!
So she arranged the empty room for the students to live in.
The students are very grateful.
After a bumpy journey, shuoling and Moli finally reached the frontier fortress. They dressed up and went on.
On the way, they met a caravan and pretended to ask for directions.
The big brother Luo river led by the caravan looked up and down at shuoling and Mo Li, and asked Mo Li, who was more friendly, ”how can you come to the frontier fortress?”
”This eldest brother, we have a relative who came here in his early years. A few days ago, he received a letter from him saying that he was critically ill and wanted to see both of us before he died.” Said Molly.
As soon as Luohe heard that he admired them very much, he kindly reminded them, ”the two little brothers are really affectionate, but they know that there is no peace outside the Great Wall recently.”
”Not calm?” Molly pretends to be surprised!
I saw Luohe continue to say, ”it seems that the two little brothers don't know. Now there are often people outside the Great Wall who are missing for no reason, and they don't know where to go.”
”None of the missing people have been found?” Mo Li is surprised.
”Those who live without seeing people and those who die without seeing corpses make people panic! Even our caravans have to walk at night with trepidation, and report the number of people in a short period of time. ” Said Luo He also helplessly shook his head.
Then he said, ”it's said that the wizard used witchcraft to summon the soul. These people lost their soul and were attracted by their own soul at night. They said that the wizard used human blood to refine the elixir for longevity!”
”There are grounds for these rumors.” Shuoling, who had not spoken, asked at this time.
Luohe said with a smile, ”it's just that it's said that no one has ever seen it, but these people are missing at night. It's better for the two little brothers to go to the frontier with us. Just don't leave the team alone at night.”
Don't look at his marquis.
”So it is.” Shuoling said.
As the night grew darker, the caravan had been walking for a day, and it found an empty place to stop and rest.
Luohe took out his dry food and water bottle and went to them.
After seeing shuoling, Luohe finally handed the dry food to those who thought it was easy to talk. ”Our caravans all take this as their food. There is nothing else good. I hope you two don't dislike it!”
”Why! The caravan that follows in childe already enough trouble you Mo Li hears Luo he say so, busy saying.
I saw Luohe said with a smile, ”what trouble is not troublesome, but it's just a matter of raising your hand. Little brother doesn't need to remember it, and don't call me childe. It's strange to hear it. It's not suitable for such a rude person as me. It's called anluohe.”
”It turns out that it's brother Luo. My brother's surname is mo. I'm separated by a single word.” Mo Li also introduced himself.
Luohe looked at the men of the caravan, and then said, ”brother Mo, hurry to eat. I'll go to see the big guy again.”
”Brother Luo is busy first. Don't take care of us.” Don't be too busy responding.
After waiting for Luohe to leave, Mo Li hands shuoling a cake. ”Hou ye, first eat some and fill your stomach.”
Shuoling took the cake and thought about it. The man who called himself Luohe said that most of them disappeared at night. Then he could take the opportunity to lure those people out.
Thinking of this, shuoling tells Mo Li.
Mo Li naturally won't let shuoling take the risk, so he whispered to shuoling, ”Hou ye, let the little one do the bait.”
”I have my own opinion about it.” Shuoling said.
Listen to his Marquis, Mo Li will not argue any more. He knows their temperament.
While the caravan was sleeping, shuoling quietly left the caravan and went far enough away from the caravan. For three days in a row, let alone people, he didn't see a ghost.
But since these people are missing in the evening, shuoling thinks it may be those people who are deliberately trying.
Sure enough, on the fourth night, shuoling just sat cross legged in a place where there was no one around, and heard the rustling sound behind him.
He immediately became alert. He felt a puff of smoke blowing at him. He quickly blocked his breath and fainted. He decided to go into his nest to find out.
At this time, he heard someone say, ”I thought it was the bait under the government! I've been spying for days. ”
”Don't say it. Hurry up and drag the man away, because he has delayed us a lot.” I heard another man say.
They carried him for a long time, or rather around.
Shuoling found that they carried him into a village.
They sent shuoling to the wizard.
Zhan you, the wizard, looked at shuoling, who was lying on the ground, and couldn't help but rejoice. ”It seems that this man's physique is very good. If you succeed, you two can make contributions.”
”It's a pleasure for the little ones to serve the Wizards.” They said in unison.
