The princess changed her widow's life by fortune-telling

Chapter 69 If you don't leave, you will be the one calling for help
Early the next morning, Pei Qingge took Guiqing, Zuo Ci and Zhong Qi out of the house.

The carriage was too slow, and she was dressed as a man, so she rode directly on the horse.

After three days of rushing on the road, I arrived in Pengcheng in the evening of the third day.

Pei Qingge chose the largest inn in the area, and while eating, he asked Xiao Er, "Brother Xiao Er, is there any interesting place on Liuxia Mountain?"

"Liuxia Mountain?" Xiaoer's face changed when he heard the name, and he looked around, then bent down and said in a low voice, "Are you from other places?"

Pei Qingge nodded, "Yes, my brothers and I have traveled to mountains and rivers, and we just arrived in Pengcheng today. I heard that there is Liuxia Mountain outside the city. The name of this mountain seems to have some beautiful scenery, so I plan to go and have a look."

"Hey, I advise you, don't go to Liuxia Mountain." Xiao Er said, his voice became mysterious, "That mountain is haunted."

"Haunted?" Pei Qingge smiled, "Don't scare us, what kind of ghost is there?"

"Guest officer, I'm not lying to you. Go out and ask us Pengcheng people, who doesn't know that Pengcheng is haunted?" Xiao Er said this with great confidence.

Zuo Ci took out a piece of broken silver, handed it to Xiao Er, and made room for the bench, "Come on, tell us about it."

Xiao Er put away the broken silver and sat down happily, "If you ask me, you are asking the right person. I have worked in this inn for many years, and I have heard a lot about ghosts."

"Let's just talk about that one. One winter, the cold wind was howling and the snow was flying heavily. The snow was so big..."

"Get straight to the point." Zhong Qi interrupted him.

Xiaoer sipped his mouth and gave Zhong Qi a blank look, but after all he had received the money, he could only be obedient, "The deputy commander of Pengcheng Bingmasi was in the barracks outside the city, and suddenly a man came and said that the commander had something urgent to call him. Go back to the city, let him go back to the city immediately, without delay."

"After the man delivered the letter, he left first. The deputy commander got on his horse and chased after him."

"He watched the man go straight to Liuxia Mountain from a distance, returning to the city from the barracks outside the city. Liuxia Mountain was the shortest way. He thought that there must be something urgent, and besides, there were people walking with him, so he was not so afraid. So we entered Liuxia Mountain together."

"It was all right when I went up the mountain, but when I got to the top of the mountain, when he looked down the mountain, it was covered with snow and there was no one."

"Later, the deputy commander said that he was in a hurry to go back to the city, so he didn't think too much about it. After thinking about it, the snow was so heavy on the mountain, and he didn't see a single horseshoe mark all the way. It was such an evil thing. I didn’t notice it at the time.”

"When he went down the mountain to the middle of the mountain, there happened to be a tree with a crooked neck. From a long distance, he saw a man preparing to hang himself. When he approached, he saw the man kicking his legs."

"Saving someone's life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. How could he refuse to save him? He ran under the tree and put his hands on the man's waist. Then he suddenly realized that there was nothing on the snow except his footprints. Flat and flat, without a single mark."

"This man hanged himself all the way, and tied the rope. How could he not have any footprints?"

"He broke out in a cold sweat from fright at that time, and no one could save him, so he got on his horse and went straight down the mountain."

"When I returned to the city, the commander said that he had never been sent to find him. According to his memory, he drew the face of the messenger. Guess what?"

"After asking a lot of people, there was an elderly person who said that he was the bodyguard next to the previous commander, and that the previous commander and his bodyguard had died in battle long ago!"

"Really?" Zuo Ci was skeptical, "Leaving the barracks without authorization is a felony, so it's not the case that the deputy commander left the barracks without authorization and made up a story to exonerate himself, right?"

"Guest officer, can I lie to you?" Xiao Er stared, "The deputy commander was so scared that he fell ill for several days, then resigned, and now lives in the north of the city. Everyone knows about this, but if you don't believe it, Just go and inquire about his family, and ask him personally. And he wasn’t the only one who saw a ghost on Liuxia Mountain, there was another time..."

"What are you talking about? Don't work anymore?" Seeing that Xiaoer had been at this table for a long time, the shopkeeper couldn't help but patted the cabinet.

Xiao Er hurriedly stood up, "I'll tell you when I have time later!"

"Can this be true?" Zuo Ci looked at Pei Qingge.

"Go and see tomorrow, don't you know?" Pei Qingge said as he picked up his chopsticks, "But if that person is really in Liuxia Mountain, I don't want others to disturb him, spread rumors of ghosts, and create illusions for people who go up the mountain , is also very easy."

After breakfast the next day, the four of them went out despite Xiaoer's strong dissuasion.

At the foot of the mountain, Pei Qingge got off his horse and tied the horse to a tree, "I can't ride a horse anymore."

Zuo Ci looked up the mountain, "This mountain road is not bad, we should be able to ride for a while."

Pei Qingge shook his head, "There is indeed a problem with this mountain. Horses are easy to panic. If they run away, it will be troublesome." She took out two talismans and handed them to Zuo Ci and Zhong Qi respectively, "Put them away, don't worry about them on the way Don't worry about what you see or hear." After speaking, she looked at Gui Qing, "Go ahead."

Gui Qing nodded and opened the way ahead.

The vegetation on the mountain is lush, and this Luoxia Mountain looks like there are few people. There should be a road, but now there is only a narrow road left, and Guiqing will use his sword to cut off the branches blocking the road from time to time. and tall grass.

When he was almost on the mountainside, Zuo Ci suddenly stopped, and Zhi Leng listened to him before asking, "Is someone calling for help?"

Zhong Qi turned his head and glanced at him, and he heard it too, but didn't Pei Qingge say, don't care about what you see or hear?

"Go." Pei Qingge looked at him, "If you don't leave, you will be the one calling for help."

Zuo Ci also reacted, shrank his neck in fright, and hurried forward.

After walking for about an hour, Gui Qing stopped. There was a three-way road ahead, so he turned his head and asked Pei Qingge.

Pei Qingge narrowed his eyes slightly, and pointed to the one on the right.

Gui Qing nodded and continued to move forward.

Zuo Ci had already started to breathe a little, and he couldn't help but say, "Wang...cousin, you have a small body and good physical strength, I almost can't move."

"You are too weak, go back and take care of yourself." Pei Qingge looked at his back and paused before asking, "I heard you said you were injured before, where did you get injured?"

"Shoulder." Zuoci said and paused, "There is an arrow that can't be pulled out. The imperial doctor said that if you pull it out, you might die on the spot. Fortunately, it's the left shoulder, which doesn't prevent me from using the sword with my right hand. My life is terrible. Very, a little further down, I died on the spot, but I didn't meet... you, cousin."

"Why didn't you say it earlier?" Pei Qingge frowned, "I'll help you take a look when I get back."

"That's right!" Zuo Ci's eyes lit up, "How could I forget this, I'm lucky to have a 'cousin' like you."

Just as he was speaking, Guiqing's footsteps also stopped. He looked ahead, and his hand holding the sword tightened slightly.
