Chapter 48 (1/2)
”Master Xia, I don't know what those people have in common?”
”Mr. Li said that those who got sick all came from the same village.”
Su Muge's eyebrows set when she heard it. ”From the same place?”
”Well, the flood in that village has subsided. Would you like to have a look?”
Su Muge is silent. Now the patient's condition is still uncertain. It's not safe to leave her like this.
”The county magistrate of Zhou county was washed away by the flood in that village.” Look at Su Muge's silence, and xiahoumo's secluded way.
”What?” Su Muge looks up in surprise.
”Since Mr. Su doesn't go, he will stay and cooperate with the second prince. He is facing the East and preparing his horse.”
”Yes.”
If you can find information about the disease in the village, you can't go this time.
”I'll go with Lord Xia.”
Xia houmo's lips are slightly raised, and he strides out.
……
On the other side, Xia houkun asked Mr. Li to leave.
There was only Xia houkun and one of his confidants left in the room.
Xia Hou Kun is leaning on the back of the chair, her eyes are dark and cold. ”Han Yu, how does this hall feel that Su Lun is a little strange?”
”I don't know if the second prince thinks that Lord Su is weird there?” A small official who has been out for several years and can't rank in Beijing at all. As a confidant of the second prince, Han Yu hasn't really noticed Su Lun.
Xia houkun shakes his head. Su Lun was released many years ago. How could he pay attention to such a person.
Xia Hou Kun waved, obviously not going to continue this topic.
”It's not easy to let my father promise me to come here. Who knows that he killed a blocker halfway!”
Han Yu also thought that it was a bit of a hindrance for the king of Jin to appear at this time.
”Father Ming has asked him to come to the disaster relief. Why did he promise me to come again? What do you think Father knows? ” In a word, Xia Hou Kun straightened his back and sat up.
He did it very secretly. How did the father know about it?
”Your Highness, you don't have to be disorderly. It's the best policy for us to keep still.”
Xia Hou Kun nodded. ”You're right. Let people watch xiahoumo secretly. This hall can't let him do anything bad!”
”Yes.”
……
It's very difficult to walk on the muddy road after being washed by the rain. Su Muge, sitting on the horse's back, felt the horse's feet slipping several times. If she hadn't practiced riding in the past, she would have fallen to the ground.
Zuoqiu and Zuowei are exploring the road in front of them. According to people in Zhouxian County, Dawang village is the closest one to Zhouxian county.
All the way, there are vegetation, trees and even bodies that have begun to rot after being washed away by the flood.
”My Lord, Dawang village is ahead.”
Su Muge looked up and saw the remains of some bricks and tiles.
”Well.” Xia Hou, molema, walks in front of Su Muge.
Zuoqiu immediately before, sweep away the yellow mud on a big stone, and you can clearly see the three words ”Dawang village”.
Apart from the houses built of blue bricks, the rest of the village is only the remains of some tiles.
Su Muge turns over and gets off his horse and walks in the ruined village.
This village is not big. It takes at most a quarter of an hour to walk from the head of the village to the end of the village. Now most of the mud houses have been washed down. The whole village is even more impressive.
”My Lord, my subordinates have found that the people in this village go up the mountain behind every day. They go down the mountain after a long day. But when they are asked what they are going to do, no one can answer them.” Zuoqiu refers to the mountain road behind the village.
”Go and have a look.”
They tied up their horses in the village and went back to the mountain.
As soon as entering Houshan mountain, Su Muge obviously felt that there were some differences. The vegetation on the mountain had not been damaged by the flood, that is to say, the flood could not reach the mountain.
The more you go in, the more strange Su Muge feels. He always feels that something is not right, but he can't say it for a while.
”It's already a deep mountain. What do those villagers do in it every day?” Su Muge said, even if there are hunters in the village who go hunting in the mountain, they won't have so many people on the mountain every day, right?
Xiahoumo stood still and glanced around. ”There are no creatures here.”
There's no life!
Yes, she said that the mountain is so strange. There are no birds in it all the way. It's such a big mountain. It's not affected by the flood. How can it be that there are no birds.
”Susu”
”Shua”
the sound of swaying branches came from the ear. Several people were alert to stop and look around.
”My Lord, someone is coming!” Zuoqiu and Zuowei protect xiahoumo.
The shade of the trees on the ground is mottled. Suddenly, the shadow at Su Muge's foot is dark, and a ghostly black figure swoops towards her.Su Muge looks stunned. She wants to avoid it. Next second, she has another big hand on her waist and lifts her whole body.
”Bang!”
Ten people in black appeared and surrounded them.
Xia houmo let go of Su Muge and let her stand behind her.
”Trespasser, die!”
People in black don't have too much nonsense. Come up and fight directly.
