After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 524 The Hunt From Fiction to Reality

After an unknown amount of time, He Lingchuan suddenly felt something and opened his eyes.

Sure enough, Nightmare came back silently, and was floating around beside him, not sure if he was staring at him.

He Lingchuan never wanted to take this thing lightly.He said calmly, "Have you found a clue?"

"See for yourself."

After saying that, the nightmare turned into a puff of smoke. After the mist slowly dissipated, a picture emerged in the middle.

First the blue sky, then the distant mountains, as clear as a slide.

The picture changed again, a wide road with several carriages in front.

At this time, a female voice joined in:

"Kang'er, don't poke your head out, be careful that someone hits you!" Then the view was drawn into a carriage, and a young woman in plain clothes sat across from her.

He Lingchuan knew that what Mengmao showed him was a scene from Wu Kai's grandson's memory, maybe it was what he saw during the day.

The so-called day sees, night dreams.

The woman said again: "No noise is allowed! As long as you go to the place, grandpa will buy you delicious food."

place?Where?
The mountain in the background of the picture just now seems to be in the north of the city, but it is not true north from the perspective.

As soon as the screen changed, everyone got out of the car.

At this time, it was evening, the sun had set but night had not yet come, the surroundings were wasteland, the weeds were lush by the roadside, and the reeds were taller than adults.He Lingchuan heard the sound of water.

The groom walked in front holding the lantern, and the mother and son followed behind.

After walking a dozen or so steps, an old man with half-black hair and drooping eyes greeted us in front of him.

Wu Kai!

This is the target of the officers and soldiers of Bancheng.After Zhong Sunmou was killed, he immediately ordered someone to take his grandson out of the city, and escaped from the capture of Fu Shanyue and Cen Boqing successively.

He himself escaped while Lu Dutong was besieging the Cen Mansion, and his family reunited at the wilderness ferry.

Wu Kai held his grandson in his arms and said a few words of comfort.

The four of them actually came to a ferry.

Baisha has a lot of water, there are lakes, swamps and rivers.This is the middle part of the river bend, the wind is light, twenty or thirty fishing boats are moored here, and there is light in the cabin.

Fishermen live and eat on board.

The young man Zhuang went to the side of the boat to ask, and after only asking two boats, he found a boat owner who was willing to carry passengers.

Silver is a good thing.

As soon as the picture reaches here, it turns back to gray fog.

"It's gone, I only found so much." Meng Meng expressed helplessness, "The child's head is empty, and there is not much to put in it."

It is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.

He Lingchuan pointed to the Juluo branch: "Okay, let's go in."

Gray smoke circled around the house twice, full of displeasure.

But the thin arms couldn't hold back the thighs, so it had to go in reluctantly in the end.

Strictly speaking, the Juluo branch is not a place for it to live in, but a fast passage to and from the ancient city of Panlong and reality.

"Either let me go, or find me a place to live. Hurry up! Otherwise, I won't be able to return to reality and I won't be able to help you." Meng Meng disappeared after finishing speaking.

He Lingchuan immediately went to knock on Fu Shanyue's door.

Just knocked once, and the guard at the door stopped him: "Wait for us to pass in..."

"What's the matter?" The breeze flashed by, and Fu Shanyue jumped out by himself, still wearing the usual clothes in the afternoon, with meticulous hair.

This guy didn't rest either.

"I found out Wu Kai's whereabouts." He Lingchuan didn't go around in circles, and cut straight to the point, "After dark, he boarded a boat at the river bend outside the city."

"Why do you..." Fu Shan was startled, but then said, "Reliable?"

"It's like seeing it in person."

"Then what are you waiting for, let's go!" He knew that He Lingchuan had two brushes.

"Slow down!" He Lingchuan stretched out his arms to block him, "You can't go, otherwise what will Cen Boqing do if he takes the opportunity to escape?"

If Fushan was farther away from the city, and Cen Boqing gathered to break through like last time, who would dare to really step forward to stop it?

Can they count on Lu Dutong, or Tian County Magistrate?
Before he was convicted, Cen Boqing was still the superior of Lingxu City.

As soon as he reminded him, Fu Shanyue quickly calmed down: "Okay, I'll keep an eye on him. I entrust you with the task of recovering Wu Kai. Be sure—"

He said word for word: "Be sure to bring him back!"

He Lingchuan nodded.

Now he and Fu Shanyue are on the same line. If Wu Kai cannot be captured and convicted, Cen Boqing and even Da Sinong will surely fight back afterwards.

Without further ado, He Lingchuan went out in the middle of the night.Fu Shanyue sent him dozens of soldiers and horses to follow, and an escort surnamed Lu followed.

The so-called escort is actually a tour guide.There are tourist attractions everywhere in Baisha, and there are many wealthy customers, so the business of escort tour guides has been born. From board and lodging, carriages, and sightseeing, the escorts can meet all the requirements of the guests anyway.

This person surnamed Lu was found by Tian County magistrate for the prince during the day, saying that he knew the entire county well.

He also knew where the river bend was, so Fu Shanyue ordered him to follow He Lingchuan.

The hooves of dozens of horses are rumbling, galloping on the deserted streets, disturbing people's dreams in the middle of the night.

There is only one big river in the north of the city, which winds along the mountain and the terrain on both sides is gentle.

But if the ferry is very close to the dock, the only place is Xiahewan.

"The target is already on board, where will it go?"

Lu Buyou said: "Then it's natural to go down the river, it's less labor-intensive, and the boat can go faster."

"Will you go upstream and go upstream?"

"The upper reaches are all wild forests, and there are only people living up to a hundred miles. It's tiring to walk there." Lu Banyou shook his head, "The ferry boats there basically walk along the water. There has been no wind these few nights, so they can't go fast."

He Lingchuan worried: "Will you go ashore halfway?"

"That's possible, but it's safe and trouble-free to go along the river, and it's not easy to be intercepted." Lu escorted a grin, "Usually they also transport some private goods along the river...uh!"

He has the habit of bragging when he meets customers, and he doesn't think about it, but when he said it, he remembered that the master in front of him was not an ordinary person!

What nonsense did he say about smuggling in front of the special envoy of the prince?

He Lingchuan didn't move his eyebrows, too lazy to argue with him.Escort Lu hurriedly said: "Do you need to charter a boat, Mr. Special Envoy? I have a way to find the fastest and best boat!"

"Need not."

Thanks to his familiarity, he took the shortest way out of the city.The situation in Yeluzi is not as smooth as the official road, and it is inevitable to walk at night, but Lu escort can remember every ditch and every hurdle ahead, so that everyone can keep moving fast in the dark.

He is so proficient in business that even He Lingchuan boasted: "You lead the way well."

Escort Lu suddenly smiled.

The prince's special envoy praised him, and he will be stable for the rest of his life.

At the end of the desolate wild road, there is Xiahe Bend.

In the early years of Baishayu, both fishing and passenger traffic used to go here, but after the repair of the upper river bay, the transportation capacity was transferred there, and the ferry of the lower river bay was deserted, and only passenger traffic went here.

When He Lingchuan arrived with his group, the night was already dark, and only two fishing lights were still lit.

The guard asked him: "My lord, how many ships shall we divide into?"

He Lingchuan ignored it, and instead asked Lu escort: "What kind of river is this?"

"Liu River." Lu Banyou smiled, "Someone panned for gold in the river in the early years, so everyone named it that."

The night was dark and the opposite bank could not be seen, and the river bend was still flowing, and everyone could only hear the waves crashing on the shore occasionally.

Wu Kai's family had already boarded the boat in the evening, and they were going down the river again, many steps ahead of them, is there still time to catch up?
More than one person has this question.

But He Lingchuan obviously didn't intend to explain it to them. He just grabbed a token in the shape of a black cloud from his bosom and handed it to the following servants: "You come."

The plaque began to glow when held in the hand of the servant, with gold in the red, shining brightly.

Except when he was marching in Panlong City, it was the first time that He Lingchuan had seen such abundant energy.Undoubtedly, this is one of Fu Shanyue's status symbols as the future monarch.

Immediately afterwards, the waiter squatted down, pressed the sign into the river and stirred it, and at the same time gave a low voice:
"Liu River Water Spirit, hurry up and see you!"

Others suddenly realized that He Lingchuan had this idea.But he used Fu Shanyue's token to summon the water spirit, which was not as troublesome as Sun Fuping, the national teacher of the Yuan Kingdom, and the magistrate of Kuzhu County, who required various methods to summon the local mountain and water spirit.

Probably because this is a demon country, the mountains and rivers are more diligent than those in other countries, and they dare not slack off?
After the servant stood up, the water waves that had been stirred up just now not only didn't stop, but became more and more choppy.

The originally quiet Xiahe Bend unexpectedly has a wonderful scene of no wind and waves.

The fishing boats resting in the bay were inevitably affected, and the sleeping fishermen were all awakened by the shaking, and they got up one after another to check.

Soon some boat people shouted:

"Shui Ling, Shui Ling is here!"

The fishing fire was turned on again, so He Lingchuan saw thirteen or four figures rapidly approaching the shore under the surface of the water illuminated by the light. The longest figure was less than two feet long, and the shortest was only six feet long. Not on the number.

But as fast as a torpedo.

The body shape is also... pretty similar.

Before he had time to think about it, he heard a splash, and splashes exploded from the surface of the river at the ferry. These figures actually jumped out, twirled in mid-air, and entered the water again.

It can even press water.

Of course, everyone also saw the true face of Shui Ling:

Round head and wine bottle nose, silver gray body streamlined.

Isn't this the finless porpoise?
The leading finless porpoise is half the size of the others, and its skin is gray and blue.As soon as it poked its head out of the water, a soft female voice sounded in the hearts of everyone: "The Liuhe Aquarium is willing to serve the prince!"

"I'm the special envoy of the prince." He Lingchuan couldn't help reaching out to touch its long nose, slipperyly, "The felon is on the run by boat, and he's going down the river from here. Help me find it."

"Please tell me, the special envoy of the prince, how many criminals are there, what are their characteristics, and what ship are they on?"

He Lingchuan pointed to the boat at the lower river bay: "Two men and a woman, plus a seven-year-old boy. The boat was hired from here. The light on the boat was beige, with the word Liu written on it, and there was a big gap on the left side of the boat. The top of the boat was patched with blue and white rags."

This is the picture in the memory of Wu Kai's grandson. The child looked at the hull of the ship curiously, and He Lingchuan noticed it.

He had already explained the most important features of the hull, and Shui Ling nodded: "Let's do it now. I have a lot of people in the river, so I guess it won't be difficult to find."
