Chapter 419: Crying in the middle of the night
Pu Yangxuan didn't seem to care too much, and nodded to the post officer, "I know, you go down and prepare dinner." ”
Seeing their expressions, the post officer shouted a little anxiously: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu, the lower officials are by no means alarmist, please Your Royal Highness the King of Chu and the princes must be very careful!" ”
Pu Yangxuan was a little impatient, took the teacup handed by Xue Jinyi, and lowered his head to drink water.
Ma Zhong said: "Okay, what we know, there is no need to repeat it." ”
Seeing this, the post officer shrank his neck and hung his head, not daring to say anything more.
After the post officer retreated, several people exchanged glances, and some people sneered: "Just a ghost and a god, you look at the scare of those post officials and post men, no wonder you can only nest in this remote place to do some small errands." ”
"No, people with a little courage have already been promoted."
Everyone laughed and laughed, and degraded the post official to nothingness, and only then did they discuss the right thing, and it was still the time when the night stopped, and they must strengthen their vigilance and so on.
And after supper, they went back to their houses to rest.
Xue Jinyi stood by the window of the second-story building, looking at the movement of the courtyard downstairs through the gap in the window.
"It's ......so quiet," she saw a figure walking straight towards the gate of the inn, and in the braziers on both sides of the road, the beating fire light shone on the man's body, and on the edge of the vast and silent desert, it was mysterious and treacherous.
Pu Yangxuan stood behind her, and naturally saw the figure, "It's Shen Qingmo." ”
"This guy is mysterious, what kind of calculation is he having?"
"If you see him swaggering out of the main entrance, everyone who sees him will think that he is just wandering around."
At this time, the post officer appeared and stopped Shen Qingmo, the two didn't know what to say, Shen Qingmo waved to the post officer and walked out of the gate, because there was a fence and a watchtower blocking it, so Xue Jinyi They also saw what he did after he went out, but they didn't go far.
After looking at it for a while, Xue Jinyi said, "It's not like going to the ruins of the West Night Ancient City." ”
"It can't just be a casual after-dinner stroll, right?" Pu Yangxuan raised his eyebrows.
Xue Jinyi shook her head, "I don't think he's such an idle person." ”
While speaking, the figure at the gate flickered, and Shen Qingmo came back, and he walked into Puyang's room under the peep of two pairs of eyes.
Xue Jinyi closed the window, looked back at Pu Yangxuan, and said with a smile: "It seems that someone is more nervous than us." ”
Puyang was writing a letter at the table, and every once in a while he had to record what was happening in the team and ask someone to send it back to his father. Hearing a soft knock on the door, he looked up at the gentle young man who had walked into the room.
"What does Boss Shen think?"
"Foolproof."
"That's good." Puyang Yu breathed a sigh of relief, "The legend of the ancient city of the West Night is really strange, I'm afraid that someone will take advantage of it, but I'm afraid that the King of Chu has three long and two short, and the first one will suspect me and frame it for King Feng's mansion." ”
Shen Qingmo said: "My son is decent, fair, and evil, and those young people are just seeking their own death." ”
"That's what I said, but it's a pity that how can the things in the court be explained clearly?" Puyang smiled bitterly and looked at Shen Qingmo meaningfully, "Isn't Boss Shen unintentional to do things for King Feng's Mansion now, and now ......?"
"The little one just wants to feel that he can talk to the young man, and the little one doesn't want to have an accident with the team." Shen Qingmo said indifferently.
Puyang looked at his face as smooth as a pearl, stunned, and always felt that something was strange, but he couldn't say it. He silently pressed this strange feeling, "It's not too early, Boss Shen should rest early." ”
"Yes." Shen Qingmo owed his body and withdrew from Puyang's room.
"Eh, Boss Shen came out of my son's room so late......"
He was just about to leave when he heard a female voice behind him, and when he looked back, it turned out to be the maid beside Princess Chu.
Her words attracted the attention of those around her.
"It's just a deal." He replied lightly: "If you can make some fame in the prosperous Gyeongju, plus the business in the capital, why don't I worry about making a lot of money?" ”
Qinglan said: "Then I wish Boss Shen what he wants to do." ”
"Thank you." Shen Qingmo nodded and left unhurriedly.
Qinglan didn't rush to move, because she saw Ah Qiu coming from the direction of the stove, holding a teapot in her hand.
"Ah Qiu, what delicious food did you go to the stove?" She asked.
Ah Qiu replied coldly: "Get some tea for Gongzi, so as not to be thirsty in the middle of the night." ”
"Yes," Qinglan said with a smile: "My son has been chatting with Boss Shen for a while, it's time to be thirsty, so I won't bother you." ”
With that, she walked briskly towards the stove.
Ah Qiu looked inexplicable, just now he saw Qinglan stop Shen Qingmo from talking, and now he is stopping himself, what the hell are you doing? She entered Puyang's room with questions, and told her son what she had just done.
Puyang said: "Probably to find out what Shen Qingmo and I are planning, right?" We didn't do anything bad, so we didn't need to be nervous. ”
"Yes." Ah Qiu poured water for him, not taking it to heart.
When Puyang rolled up the written letter and stuffed it into a bamboo tube the thickness of his thumb, his heart suddenly "chuckled".
Is the reason why Qinglan came to them to speak, is it really that simple?
Could it be that Pu Yangxuan thought that he would take advantage of the legend of the ancient city of the West Night to kill people in the middle of the night in order to become the leader of the peace team? So you sent Qinglan to investigate?
Puyang was a little flustered, although Shen Qingmo said "foolproof", but there were also "hundreds of secrets".
He pushed away the water handed by Ah Qiu and commanded in a low voice: "Tonight, you don't have to be on my side to guard the King of Chu." ”
The night is getting deeper, and there is a lonely moon in the sky, and the bleak moonlight shines on the calm desert, and the gold turns to frost white, adding a bit of bleakness and coldness. The inn was also quiet, with the sparkling fires flickering, and the guards on duty at night were like sculptures on the ground, standing still.
At this moment, in the desert, where there was no wind and sand, there was a faint sound.
The guards frowned, staring intently at the desert.
The sound seemed to come from the depths of the desert, whimpering and continuous.
At some point, the clouds that drifted over obscured the little half moon, the sky darkened, and the whimpering sound became louder, as if countless people were crying in the desert, telling of the resentment that had accumulated for thousands of years, and making the listeners feel a chill to the bone.
The desert was still calm, there was no wind, not a grain of sand raised by the wind.
In such a strange scene, the guards continued to pay full attention to the movements around them.
Coldly, a black behemoth appeared on the smooth and lifeless desert, and flew towards the post station like a ghostly attachment to the desert.
The guards perked up, and no one could see clearly how this "monster" appeared in the desert.
