Although Mo Lingtian really admired and liked Shen Wei very much, he was not a master who would be carried away by beauty.

Seeing that Shen Wei didn't let Honglian retreat, he already knew that Shen Wei didn't plan to say anything else to him, even if it was, it was better to be more direct, so he opened his mouth and directly said one thing that he had been doubting in his heart these days.

Shen Wei's expression was still calm, but the red lotus who was standing on the side was startled by Mo Lingtian's words.

Although she is Shen Wei's personal maid, Honglian is actually not a person from Bishui Zhai. But as Shen Wei's personal maid, she knows a little about Shen Wei's identity, and she also knows the existence of this Bishui Zhai...... But I didn't expect that my own young lady was actually related to the Qinglian Sect!

A little confused for a while, her subordinates secretly clenched their clothes, but she didn't speak. Whether it is the Qinglian Sect or Bishui Zhai, what Shen Wei does is the enemy of the Nanqing Imperial Court...... Even so, it's not much of a difference.

After Mo Lingtian finished speaking, he stared at Shen Wei tightly. Shen Wei's expression was still calm, but she picked up the teacup in front of her, lifted the veil, and took a sip lightly, before she pursed her lips and smiled and asked, "What do you think, Young Master Mo?" ”

This smile, although she couldn't see her face clearly, showed it through her eyes. It's like a peony in full bloom, which makes everything in this room lose its brilliance, and it is directly into people's hearts and minds, which makes people deeply intoxicated!

"I think? I may ...... You should have killed that Shi Yuan first! ”

But Mo Lingtian is not a fuel-efficient lamp, if it were an ordinary man, he would have been fascinated by Shen Wei's eyes, but he didn't. also picked up the teacup and took a sip, smiled coldly, and spoke......

Outside Jinling City, along the shore of the vast Mingyang Lake, after walking four or five miles to the west, there will be a cliff to cut off the road. Standing on the top of the cliff, you can see a village in the far reaches of the lake, opposite a small island in the lake.

This island is called Yelian Island, and the village is called Yelian Village. Everyone in Jinling City knows that there is such a village. But although this village is outside Jinling City, it is inconvenient to walk. Either you need to take the waterway, or you need to bypass Mingyang Lake, walk dozens of miles along the official road, and then go around a long mountain road to get there.

There are not many families in the village, only seven or eight, and they have always relied on boating and fishing in Mingyang Lake for a living. Because it is extremely inconvenient to enter the city, and there are not many people, this Jinling prefect's yamen has never been managed. Therefore, it can also be called a paradise.

Who would have thought that there would be such a peach source on the edge of Jinling City, where there are "Huangquan Road" and "Yama Palace"?

But in this paradise, at the beginning of this year, I encountered an incident that completely changed the fate of seven or eight families on this island!

The people in Jinling City who rowed boats and carried passengers on this Mingyang Lake knew it. The people in Yelian Village, who could usually be seen, did not appear again this year. It's only from time to time that someone can see the curling green smoke rising from the village from the cliff in the west, which makes people know that there are still people in this village......

At the beginning of this year, this matter was also discussed in a small area in the city, and some people speculated that something happened to the people in the village.

Until someone, whether intentionally or unintentionally, saw people in Yelian Village rowing boats and transporting things to Yelian Island. Only then did it be inferred that the people in this village might be helping the Guo family in Jinling City, because Yelian Island belonged to the Guo family...... So, the matter began to die down like this.

It wasn't until a few days ago that there were rumors that Yelian Island was haunted, and this Yelian Island was so close that this matter was brought up again.

But the theory of haunting was originally a rumor in the market, and the people who said it were all imaginary, each saying their own thing. There were brave people who tried to check it out, but were chased back. So, this matter is closed again......

If it weren't for Liu Ruyan's involvement today, she fell into the lake and wet her clothes, there would be nowhere to go on Yelian Island, and it would be inconvenient for Liu Ruyan to stay alone. Brother Shi is afraid that he has not had the opportunity to come to this village yet, and he has no chance to know the strangeness of this village!

Seeing the group of "dumb boatmen" on the shore who couldn't speak, Brother Shi began to have doubts in his heart. asked Qiao Cannon, but there was no result, so he put on his own soaked clothes and walked towards the village.

Liu Ruyan and Gao Xiaowu naturally had doubts in their hearts. Seeing Shi Yuan walking towards the village, he hurriedly followed.

The village is not far away, and although there are only seven or eight families in the village, they all live close to each other. Brother Shi didn't speak all the way, and after coming to the village, he found out that this is Yelian Village, which is clearly the grain and grass camp of the Dingnan Army on this island!

Mountains of grain were piled up on both sides of the village, and they were guarded by many soldiers. And there was not a single villager in the village, to be exact, not a woman, a child or an elderly person...... Because, there is also the group of mute boatmen who were on the shore just now!

The seven or eight thatched houses in the village became temporary military camps at this time. There are dozens of stoves, all of which are making dry food at this time.

It's no wonder that every time I came before, whether it was a meal or not, I could see the green smoke rising from the village, it turned out to be ...... It's actually preparing dry food for the Dingnan army on the island! Brother Shi's doubts were finally solved.

But in his heart, he did not become relaxed, and as he walked through the village, his heart became even more dull.

If it were just doves occupying the magpie's nest, the people of the village would have been driven away. But when he saw those "dumb boatmen" on the shore, he felt that things were not so simple! Those people...... Most likely, it's one of the villagers!

Are all the men in a village dumb? It's not possible! But Qiao Cannon has already admitted that they are dumb, that is to say, these people are very likely to have been manipulated!

The more Brother Shi thought about it, the more frightened he became, and for a while, he even forgot about the wet clothes on his body at this time......

And these soldiers in this village also look different from the group of mud-legged Dingnan troops on the island. Although they were not wearing armor and wearing cloth clothes, they were all busy with their own business. is to see such a beautiful willow like a flower, although some people will take a look at it, but no one dares to stare at it......

"Brother Shi, I'll let you find a good place to go, you hurry up and dry the clothes on your body with Miss Liu!"

Seeing Shi Yuan looking around with a calm face, Qiao Cannon opened his mouth to "remind" him.
