diseased bone

The whole body gradually calmed down, Chu Shao heard Xiao Hui yell in time, and finally broke the embarrassing situation: "Master, we are out of the torrent."

Zhou Lanmu immediately let go of him, and sat down opposite him, apologetic and alienated in his tone: "Sorry, I'm sorry, General."

Chu Shao waved his hand, indicating that it's okay, but just as he was about to speak, a foul smell rose from his throat.He had to get out of the cabin, go to the stern, and vomited into the river.

The moonlight was blurred, and the wind around him was very cool. Chu Shao vomited into the river water for a while, and then gradually he was able to see his own reflection clearly in the river water.He suddenly remembered that it seemed like this happened when he won the first prize in civil and military affairs in Zhongyang many years ago.

At that time, he was at the age of spring breeze, standing on the prow of a three-story cruise ship around Zhongyang City, wearing red silk on his body, and he was just a handsome young man, who attracted big girls and young wives to throw heads and faces at him along the way. flower.

At that time, there was another person standing next to him, and he really thought that he could spend his life like this.

But that person's bones are not cold, why can he chat and laugh with others here?

Chu Shao closed his eyes fiercely, in a rare trance.

Suddenly, there was a small and rapid sound in the air, from far to near, Chu Shao just came back to his senses, but found that it was too late - the sound passed in front of him, and rushed straight into the cabin.

Chu Shao's complexion changed, and just as he was about to rush into the cabin, Zhou Lanmu bowed out first, holding his white fur hand warmer with an arrow stuck in it.

He threw the hand warmer into the river with regret on his face, and said very unhappy: "If I had known that I would hold the pancakes out to warm my hands, at least I would not use it to block arrows. The arrows are poisonous. Now my hands It’s a pity that the warmth is gone.”

Chu Shao didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You can think about it..."

The second arrow came through the air and went straight to Zhou Lanmu again.Chu Shao's face turned cold, he drew his sword out of its sheath, and took a false step on the boat, so that he could intercept the arrow in the air.

Not knowing where the boat went, Xiao Huifang at the bow was a little scared, but he also knew that this was not his concern, so he just rowed his boat sullenly.

It is flat here, the boat is running smoothly, surrounded by shadowy mountains, the sky is dark, the light of the moon is very weak, the wind blows from the gaps in the mountains, it seems to be mixed with a few chuckles.

After the chuckle, there was silence. After a while, the sound of the piano came from the wind. The sound fluctuated loudly and sometimes softly. After hearing it clearly, Zhou Lanmu was obviously taken aback, and then turned to look at Chu Shao.

Chu Shao also looked at him, and after a long time said in a low voice: "This is "Cherishing Life" written by the former Tai... waste prince."

""Xisheng", "Qingyuan" and "Youth Wine", the three music scores of the Crown Prince Chengyang are famous all over the world. I don't know why." Zhou Lanmu sighed, took off the jade flute around his waist, sat down cross-legged suddenly, and Playing the zither in the wind.

"Cherish Life" is the most complicated piece among the three pieces. The tune changes complicatedly and consumes a lot of breath. Waiting for Zhou Lanmu to play it, the breath is still a little unstable.

He put down his flute and sighed softly: "This is not someone sent by Wei Shuqing. The parrot Weixiu won't have such good internal strength in close combat. It seems that besides Wei Shuqing, there are others who want to fight." my life..."

Chu Shao frowned and said: "Before I left, I wanted to send a few people from the army to accompany me. The eldest son said that there are so many people, so it is better to travel lightly. But now, it seems that it is safer to bring a few people."

Zhou Lanmu rested his chin and said in thought, "Yuan Jia is right - it just so happens that I have a friend in Shichuan. We went to look for him when we arrived. He is good at martial arts and can barely protect us."

Chu Shao asked curiously: "The martial arts are good, how about me? Is it your friend in the world?"

Zhou Lanmu glanced at him with a smile: "You will know then."

Because of the detour, it took the two of them five full days to reach the River of Death, and they finally got off the boat when the morning light was twilight.

Because he was traveling secretly to investigate, Qi Lang didn't know that he would be meeting the local prosecutor, but when Chu Shaofu got off the boat, he was surprised to find someone waiting on the shore: "Greetings to General Xiao Chu and Young Master."

Zhou Lanmu did not refuse, he waved his hands and said in a good mood: "There is no need to be too polite."

Chu Shao approached him, wondering: "Where is this guy from?"

"Yuan Jia has been in the western region for many years, but have you heard of a world-renowned organization in the western region called Lange?" Zhou Lanmu answered without any defense as he boarded the carriage prepared by the visitor with Chu Shao.

Chu Shao thought for a while: "Lange does a lot of good deeds in the western region, and has a very good reputation. Of course I have heard of it."

He was stunned: "The name and surname of the owner of the Lane Pavilion is still unknown to outsiders, but people in the Jianghu often call him 'Mr. Lan', could it be..."

Zhou Lanmu nodded and said with a smile: "I came to Zongzhou when I was young, because my mother was the previous owner of Lan Pavilion."

Chu Shao stared at him, greatly surprised in his heart, but only said: "The fourth young master is hiding everything."

Zhou Lanmu said: "It's hidden where it is. If you ask me, I'll tell you. If you had asked earlier, you would have known."

Chu Shao didn't answer, but was faintly shocked in his heart.Lange is rooted in the Western Territory, and it is a highly prestigious rivers and lakes organization in the entire Great India. It includes businessmen, politicians, doctors, and civilians.Zhou Lanmu holds such a large Jianghu organization in Zongzhou, what is his intention?

He thought about it carefully, and since he came to Zhongyang, this person has always been lying to him and Qi Lang, except for the suspicious points that Fang Ziyu told him in the case of Jin Mingjing, he didn't seem to reveal anything else .

But no matter what, it is still necessary to find an opportunity to continue to test him.

There was only a man and a woman who came to meet him. Zhou Lanmu sat down in the carriage, gave a casual "hmm", and then asked: "The Chunlai Inn case has a wide-reaching impact. I asked Gengsi to tell you about the investigation. Now What's the matter?"

"No progress, I don't know who snatched it up..." The accompanying woman replied quickly, but then paused, "Since I received a letter from Gengsi girl, I have been to the Chunlai Inn to investigate many times, but nothing happened. It has not been found out, the motive of the murderer, the reason for committing the crime, nothing is known."

The man also said: "Everyone is waiting for your son at the inn. For the sake of convenience, the inn we chose is opposite the Chunlai Inn. Recently, we closed down the Chunlai Inn in a low-key manner and dismissed the quacks nearby to prevent the situation from further expanding. "

"Well, you did a great job." Zhou Lanmu praised.

The pier is not too far from the inn. For safety reasons, the inn seems to be locked up. When a few people walked in, there were only two shop owners and shop assistants on the first floor, and they didn't dare to say hello to them.

The man who came to respond led Zhou Lanmu and Chu Shao to go up the wooden stairs on the left. The stairs were a bit old and made a creaking sound when they stepped on them. When they stepped on the last flight of stairs, Chu Shao suddenly heard "Zheng " a sound.

Zhou Lanmu looked back at Chu Shao, obviously hearing that voice as well.Chu Shao slowly put his hand on the sword, frowning tightly, but Zhou Lanmu reached out to hold his hand, smiled at him, shook his head, and then continued to walk into the room.

The man stopped at the door of a room on the second floor. He seemed to be surprised why the door was not opened. He pushed hard twice, and the door was closed tightly, as if it was locked from the inside.

"This……"

Zhou Lanmu suddenly turned around and approached Chu Shao's ear. Chu Shao couldn't guard against it, so he stopped stiffly, and heard him whispering in his ear: "Yuan Jia, you said that if you open the door later and see a room full of corpses, what should you do?" what to do?"
