Jiaohua

Chapter 1136

Just now on the way, Pan Xiangzhang pointed to the mountains over there, and said that it was the South Wubei, also known as Guitian Mountain.

Xia Zhaoyi had long wanted to take a look at the Nanwupi, but this time, as soon as she entered Hengxiang Mansion, she was entangled in various affairs and couldn't get away.

The connection with Nanwubei is due to the manpower recruited by Wang Fengnian, Kang Jian, and Xu Yinjun in the past six months.

Since February of this year, they have harvested batch after batch, and the South Wubei is their top priority.

The most recent discovery was a body in night clothes and Li Gan official boots washed down from the mountain by spring rain in Nanwupi.

There is also a coffin near the corpse, and there is a silver cup in the front style on the corpse.

Xia Zhaoyi originally wanted to go to Nanwupi as soon as the soldiers from the three states were gone, but "those people" were more anxious than her.

Shen Lie brought people here, and in the distance, he saw a clear shadow under the moon, the beauty was alone, and she was stopping to look south.

Hearing the movement, Xia Zhaoyi turned his head to look, thinking he was wrong.Shen Lie got off his horse, a dark purple shirt outlined his tall and tall figure in the dim light, as the steps approached, Xia Zhaoyi could clearly see his eyebrows and eyes, it was really him.

The night wind blew away the broken hair on her forehead, and also messed up his high ponytail, and the fragrance of his exclusive smile was also brought by the night wind.

Dai Yu and the others had already dismounted, but they didn't come over and watched them from afar.

Xia Zhaoyi saw his own mount, Ziyang, and smiled: "You came to find me on purpose."

"Why are you standing here and not going back?" Shen Lie looked down at her hand.

She was carrying a bundle in one hand and a small oil ball lamp in the other.She wrapped the water ribbon on the small oil ball lamp around her fingers and shortened it to the shortest to prevent the small ball lamp from being blown by the wind.

Shen Lie's eyes were sharp, and his black eyes froze, and he took her left hand.

The skin on the back of the hand was worn away, and a lot of blood oozes out, but it has already solidified.

"Are you injured?" Shen Lie said.

Xia Zhaoyi lowered her head. This injury was caused by her foot suddenly hanging in the air. She used her strength to step on the stone wall and was scratched when she jumped out and hid herself on the bed.

Since the other party's door was wide open waiting for her to enter, she would naturally not be polite, but she would not let down her vigilance either. This was her fastest response.

Compared to any mechanism that would kill her, she has only worn off such a thin layer of skin in the midst of danger, and she has already earned blood.

From the back of his hand, Xia Zhaoyi looked at Shen Lie's long fingers with well-defined phalanges.

Her hands were indeed cold, and it became more and more obvious that his hands were very hot.

Xia Zhaoyi smiled faintly, and picked up the bag in the other hand: "Look, what is this?"

The strong wind blows out the shape inside the baggage, which is a human head.

Shen Lie glanced at her and continued to care about her injury: "How did you get hurt?"

"There are a lot of organs inside. I accidentally rubbed a layer of skin. I found this human head in that house."

Seeing her bright eyes flickering, obsessed with sharing, Shen Lie had no choice but to cooperate, and the black eyes looked back at the head: "It's neither a skeleton nor a burden stained with blood. Is this a clay sculpture?"

Xia Zhaoyi smiled: "I just love talking to smart people."

"What else was found in that house?"

"It's a long story, let's talk as we go."

The reins on Ziyang and Longying had been untied by Dai Yu and the others. After getting on the horse, Xia Zhaoyi asked Shen Lie, but he still remembered that someone wrote to Yuanhe Zongmen, telling her not to go to Zhenzhou or Hengxiang .

Shen Lie nodded and said he remembered.

Xia Zhaoyi said: "The man's surname is Chen."

"Dongping Academy, Chen Youjian's older sister, Mrs. Chen?"

Xia Zhaoyi smiled and said: "I was thinking, there are quite a few 'those people', but so many people live in secluded mountains and are independent from the world, or they entered the world and entered the world, growing up in a crowded neighborhood. From today's perspective, they are the latter, and this Chen family is one of them."

Shen Lie said: "Since Guo Guan was able to join the Dongping Academy, it can be seen that his talent and learning background is not shallow, and he must be a student of an institution of higher learning."

"Da Yin is hidden in the city. Tomorrow I will have people call all the township heads of Hengxiang into the city and ask them one by one. Is there such a strange family as the Chen family?"

Shen Lie looked at her and said seriously: "Ali, you have a lot of work to do, you can leave it to me."

Xia Zhaoyi thought of something, paused, and said, "Shen Lie, are you... going to see Shen Fan?"

The interrogation in the yamen is unknown today, but Xia Zhaoyi is very sure that it will continue tomorrow.

She suddenly mentioned Shen Yan, Shen Lie's handsome face was slightly dark, and his eyes were looking forward.

Xia Zhaoyi kept looking at him, opened his mouth, and stopped talking.

The moon sometimes disappears, and the deep eyes are very calm, light and distant.

That silent and cold, slightly rebellious and withdrawn boy became more and more mature. Those calmness and calmness were carved into his bones and turned into the breath of his body, making him look frosty regardless of summer night or cold winter.

This feeling made Xia Zhaoyi's eyebrows close slightly.

It is clear that there are more and more followers around him, but he seems to be standing alone in the world, proud and lonely, not close to the warmth of the world.

It's not that there is no warmth, nor is it that he deliberately resisted, but... that he couldn't get warm.

"Go," Shen Lie said suddenly, "we will see you eventually, but," he looked back at her sideways, his bright black eyes smiled lightly, "you can still leave what you just said to me, compared to you, I have a lot of free time. Ali, I can share it with you."

Xia Zhaoyi bent his lips and smiled softly: "Then, good."

Back at the Chen Family Ancestral Hall, the water is being pumped out slowly.

As soon as Zhan Ning saw them coming back, he immediately ran up to report the situation.

Xia Zhaoyi went to the steps and looked down at the yellow water below.

A soldier made a lantern that followed the water. As the water level dropped a little bit, the space below was illuminated more and more by the lantern.

"Do you want to go down?" Shen Lie asked.

Xia Zhaoyi shook his head: "There must be many traps, and in such a deep and sealed cave, if encountering traps, it is difficult to use escape techniques."

"Then, General, why are you still digging?" Li Guohao who was right behind them couldn't help asking.

Xia Zhaoyi said: "Water has no shape but has ten thousand shapes. If you don't dig it, how will you know its size?"

"If you know the size, what should you do? Go in?"

Xia Zhaoyi smiled and looked at him: "Send you in."

"No, no, the little ones don't dare, the little ones don't dare!"

"Then shut up." Janning said.

"Ali, do you want to set acupuncture points?" Shen Lie asked.

"If it's too deep, it's uncertain," Xia Zhaoyi squatted down, looking thoughtfully at the sinking lantern, "and I guess, this place should be used more as an exit than an entrance. The people inside If you want to come out, you have to drain the water first. And if there is too much water stored, if you release the water here, the downstream will suffer. So, they released it little by little, quietly."

Shen Lie squatted down next to her, looking at the lantern below: "This water can be divided into two situations, one is for the water gate to open the valve to divert water to block the road, and the other is for river water and ground water to seep out naturally, like a well. After the water is pumped out, you can try to release the water upstream."
