The old man was buried in the tomb.

The government office.

"Your Majesty, I have searched everywhere, but there is no secret passage!"

"No?"

Wu Linyue took a bite of the sour fruit, and a trace of confusion flashed in her phoenix eyes.

According to the investigation, the Dihua people have never been to Nan'an, and it can even be boldly speculated that the Dihua people have never left the Jieshan.

There is only one exit here, Jieshan, so the Dihua people can only stay in Dihuazhou...

Wu Linyue rubbed her forehead, and her mind was actually unable to turn around.

After a few days, there was still no clue, which made her anxious.

She thought she was quite good at playing tricks and being despicable, but she couldn't beat Situ Kong in playing hide-and-seek with him in the mountains.

"How can this little man hide so well..."

Wu Linyue ate the flesh and spit out the core, looking a little annoyed.

Don't let me find you, or I'll keep you from getting out of bed for the rest of your life!

Wu Linyue made a vicious plan in her heart.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

At this time, the governor ran in from outside, panting heavily.

"Did you get anything?"

Seeing the governor's look, Wu Linyue's eyes flashed with anticipation.

"Your Majesty, after the interrogation of these criminals, they admitted that they were not from Dihua..."

"That's not what I'm asking you!"

Wu Linyue frowned.

"Your Majesty, there are... some clues."

The governor wiped the sweat from his forehead, "These criminals said that when they stayed in Dihuazhou, they saw some Dihua people throwing fruits and vegetables into the water every one or two days. These Dihua people said they were worshiping the river god."

"Throwing fruits and vegetables into the water to worship the river god..."

Wu Linyue felt a little strange, "Have you ever heard that the Dihua people have this tradition?"

"Your Majesty, since I followed your order to stay in Dihuazhou until now, I have often tried to deepen communication with the local Dihua people, but I haven't heard of it yet. "This tradition is not passed,"

"I only know that they have a few traditions. One is marriage. Men do not marry outsiders, women do not marry outsiders, and they do not intermarry with outsiders. Another custom is the harvest festival. Apart from this, I have not heard of other traditions. Perhaps there is this river god tradition..."

"However, the people of Dihua are generous and frugal by nature. This kind of waste of fruits and vegetables has never happened before, so I think it is a bit suspicious..."

After listening to the words of the governor, Wu Linyue put his palm on the table, and his index finger kept knocking on the table, making a "da da da" sound.

After thinking for a moment, the sound of knocking on the table stopped.

"Let's go to the riverside."

Wu Linyue stood up, walked out of the government office with his hands behind his back, and the dog slaves and others followed closely.

When they came to the broad and turbulent river, Wu Linyue stopped and couldn't help looking at the square not far away.

In a trance, she seemed to see Situ Kong singing for his people with a beautiful voice and acting as a matchmaker for his people.

Although the people were not there, the atmosphere of laughter and joy remained here.

"Plop!"

Wu Linyue threw a bunch of fruits into the water, and the fruits went down the river with the turbulent river, and soon disappeared from everyone's sight.

Seeing this, Wu Linyue's mouth curled up slightly.

"Dog slave, do you still remember that when we came here, it was the day of the harvest meeting of the Dihua people."

"Remember, Your Majesty, there was laughter and joy here that day, the emperor and the people were having fun together, and many ducks were put in the water for the adult women in Dihuazhou to compete for. Oh, and many fruits were also thrown down for the Dihua people below to fish for..."

After the dog slave finished speaking, he seemed to think of something and looked at the downstream of the river in astonishment.

This turbulent river looks very scary, but it is not a big deal for the Dihua people who are good at swimming.

"Your Majesty, you mean, the emperor's husband is just..."

"Hehe."

Seeing the dog slave's reaction, Wu Linyue smiled with satisfaction.

She glanced at the governor beside her, "Governor, go swim."

"Ah? Your Majesty, this..."

The governor looked very embarrassed. This turbulent river was too difficult for her, a landlubber.

It's really annoying.

"Why? Can't swim?"

"Your Majesty, you know I'm from Chang'an and I can't swim."

"You've been in Dihua Prefecture for so long, and you still can't swim?"

"Your Majesty, the water is so turbulent that I get scared every time I see it..."

"You're such a loser. A six-year-old child in Dihua can catch fish in the water, and you, an adult, are worse than a child."

Wu Linyue looked at the governor with disdain, and the governor was too embarrassed to speak.

"Dog slave, can you do it?"

"Sure!"

Compared to the governor's shyness, the dog slave was much more free and easy.

"You... forget it, I'll swim with you."

"Your Majesty, this won't do, your body is worth a million gold..."

"Stop talking nonsense, I asked you to swim but you said you can't swim, so I have to do it myself? Besides, when I was at war with Wei, I dared to sneak into the enemy city alone and was safe and sound. What can this small river do to me?"

The governor stopped talking and stood aside awkwardly.

"Let's go, dog slave!"

"Yes!"

With a splash, the two jumped into the turbulent river without fear, carrying only two daggers, and no other weapons.

"Xiao Zhao, do you think Wu Linyue will find this place?"

At a small dam, Situ Kong was holding a fishing rod. When he said the three words Wu Linyue, he subconsciously shrank his head, looked around, and said nervously.

He had subconsciously reacted to fear of this woman, as if she was a demon who would appear in his dreams to mess things up, making him unable to forget her even when he slept.

"Hehe, Lord Situ Kong, don't worry. Let alone whether they can find the way, it's useless even if they find the way..."

"The way out has been blocked and it's hard to find. The only way to come in now is by water, which they can't even think of... Just think that your majesty's soldiers and guards are all from Chang'an, and they are not good at swimming. If they take the water, they will probably drown, not to mention your majesty's worth of body, so he won't take the risk."

Xiao Zhao spoke up to analyze and comfort, which made Situ Kong feel a little relieved.

"Yes, these idiots can't swim, so Wu Linyue is even less likely to take such a big risk."

Situ Kong patted his heart, but his eyelids kept jumping.

Since he knew that Wu Linyue came to Dihua, Situ Kong has been unable to sleep and eat these days. He began to be superstitious and did all kinds of things, hoping that Wu Linyue would give up and leave.

I don’t know if it is useful, but Situ Kong has found spiritual sustenance.

"Hey, it's hooked!"

Situ Kong felt the shaking of the fishing rod and became a little excited.

He almost pulled himself down with one pull.

"Xiao Zhao, this is a big fish. Look, I caught a big fish and let everyone see it."

Situ Kong said proudly and began to pull the fishing line hard.

"Wow, it's so big! Look!"

Situ Kong was very excited. The moment he caught the fish, he forgot his worries about Wu Linyue.

You can forget all your worries. This may be the happiest moment of fishing.

However, when the "big fish" floated to the surface of the water, Situ Kong's smile froze instantly.

The moment he caught a fish, he could forget his worries, but what if the fish he caught was his worries?

"Ahhhh, Wu Linyue!"

"Kong'er, long time no see~"

The head of the fish he caught looked exactly like the devil in his dream, and she was still grinning...
