Dream Hall

After finally dragging his body away from the side room, Lin Mu felt better, but he was still weak.

Fortunately, when Lin Mu was about to be unable to walk, he ran into Qiudi who just came to look for her.

Qiudi supported Lin Mu with a nervous expression: "Ah Mu? How are you?"

Lin Mu shook his head weakly: "Come on, let's get out, the smell here is very strange."

Qiudi didn't say much, and left Zuiyoulou with Lin Mu on her back.

As soon as he left Zuiyoulou, Lin Mu felt much better.

Qiu Di still carried the person on his back, and walked towards the inn under the sky that was about to turn dark.

Lin Mu asked, "Is that waiter a tasker?"

Qiu Di replied: "Yes, he said he can't leave Zui You Lou, someone will come and take him to a special place to rest after work."

"It's strange, why they all have a fixed range of action, but we seem to be able to act at will." Lin Mu expressed his thoughts.

But Qiu Di said: "Not necessarily, we can't act at will."

Lin Mu understood what Qiudi meant. They really can't act at will, such as Zuiyoulou, which is related to everyone, but the two of them can't stay for long.

Qiudi shared another discovery of her own: "There is also a make-up artist who is also a tasker. The waiter found out when he delivered the meals to the corners at noon."

Lin Mu gave a "hmm", indicating that he knew.

"...that person seems to know me today."

Qiudi frowned slightly: "That man?"

"Well, I was about to ask his name, but he ran away as soon as he saw my face." Lin Mu honestly told Qiudi everything.

Qiudi asked about the young man's appearance, and Lin Mu tried his best to describe it from memory.

It was precisely because she was lying on Qiudi's back that she couldn't see Qiudi's sinking face.

When returning to the inn, Qiu Di found that Lin Mu had fallen asleep lying on her back.

He gently put the person on the bed, lit the candle, fetched a basin of warm water, and wiped Lin Mu's hands and face carefully.While wiping her neck, Qiu Di frowned.

Lin Mu's collarbone was worn red, which shows how uncomfortable the coarse linen clothes are.

Qiu Di hugged the man in his arms, and then took off the sackcloth on Lin Mu's body.

Lin Mu frowned after feeling the coolness, and then leaned against Qiudi who was emitting warmth.

Qiudi stuffed him into the quilt with no expression on her face, and then tidied up the room with red ears.

……

Lin Mu was woken up by the sunlight shining through the crack of the window.

She rubbed her eyes, then sat up on the bed.

This was the first time she slept so soundly in a dream, which made her wonder if it was the smell of Zuiyoulou.

Then she looked down: "..."

Fortunately, there was no one in the room, so she quickly put on the sackcloth on the bed.

As soon as he changed his clothes, the door was pushed open. Lin Mu hurriedly turned his head and saw Qiu Di came in with a bowl of porridge and some side dishes.

Lin Mu sat at the table and ate the porridge obediently.

Then she picked up a small dish with chopsticks, and just after taking two bites, she realized something was wrong.After finishing the mouthful of food with some effort, he quickly took a mouthful of porridge.

Then asked: "Adi, what did you do?"

Qiu Di sat opposite her and watched her drink the porridge, and said, "How is it?"

Lin Mu quickly showed a smile: "Not bad, it's delicious."

Even though he said so, Lin Mu still didn't eat much food.

……

The two decided to take a look at the warlord's mansion today.They entered a shop as usual.Lin Mu followed Qiu Di, honestly being a maid.

This is a jewelry store, the clerk saw Qiu Di's extravagance, so he hurried over to greet her.

"Miss, are you here to pick out jewelry? The store has recently received a new batch of jewelry. The styles are quite good, and they match your temperament very well."

Qiudi glanced at the clerk, and said, "Let me take a look."

The clerk immediately went to pick up the jewelry happily.

The three chatted while looking at the jewelry, Qiudi picked up one of the most expensive looking bracelets, the clerk's eyes lit up, Qiudi smiled: "Yesterday I went to Zuiyoulou to watch a play, and I don't think it's too bad Sample."

The clerk immediately interjected: "Yesterday was the youngest actor who sang the opera. He's not mature enough, so he's naturally not outstanding enough. But if you ask me, the best in Zuiyoulou is of course Lin Xin. After all, his singing is amazing. She also looks like a celestial being. It's a pity that she is going to get married."

Qiu Di said "Oh?" "Lin Xu?"

The clerk explained: "It's the popular corner of Zuiyoulou. Miss, you should have heard of it, right?"

Qiu Di picked up a pair of butterfly earrings again: "I heard it a little bit."

The clerk said more: "I want to tell you one thing, the lady definitely doesn't know."

Qiudi smiled and motioned the clerk to continue.

The clerk lowered his voice: "...Actually, General Zhang and Lin Xu didn't meet in Zuiyoulou."

Looking at Qiudi's surprised eyes, the clerk only felt that the sale was hopeful, and he was even more elated when he said it.

"One time when Lin Xu returned to his hometown, a fight broke out in the place he was passing by. What do you think is a coincidence?

General Zhang was there, and Lin Xu's groom left him and ran away. General Zhang saw such a peerless beauty in the chaos, and brought her back to the camp.The two get along day and night, tsk tsk, it's really..." The clerk covered his mouth and smiled.

Lin Mu felt a little unbelievable.

Why do these people react like this when they know that two men are going to get married?

Qiu Di answered: "So later on, they decided to live forever?"

The clerk frowned: "Exactly, we can be so stable here because of General Zhang."

It is indeed quite stable.

Lin Mu looked around.

Finally, after listening to the clerk's various compliments to General Zhang, the two arrived at the address of Zhang's residence.

Lin Mu turned his head and talked to Qiudi: "I have discovered that the essence of human beings is a gossip machine, no matter where they are or which dynasty they are in."

Qiu Di smiled at her.The Zhang Mansion is actually very easy to find, after all, it is very grand, so it didn't take long for the two of them to find it.

Lin Mu stepped forward and knocked on the door.

The man who answered the door looked like a servant, and he asked, "Who are you?"

Lin Mu backed down obediently, and Qiudi put on airs and came forward. The two of them seemed to have no sense of incompatibility with this place. Qiudi glanced at the servant and said, "We're here to visit the general."

The servant frowned, looking reluctant to report.

Lin Mu saw the tension in his eyes, and squinted his eyes slightly. When the servant turned around, he stopped shouting: "Wait."

The servant turned around again and looked at Lin Mu impatiently: "What else is there?"

Lin Mu leaned over and confirmed in a low voice: "...a tasker?"

The servant froze, then immediately walked out the door: "Teammates? How do you know I'm here?"

Lin Mu was a little speechless, which eyes of this man could see that they knew he was here: "Fate, fate."

The servant briefly introduced himself: "My name is Wang Xi, and I am a servant in this general's mansion."

Lin Mu explained their purpose to him: "We want to go in and look for clues, can you help?"

Wang Di was a little nervous, but he quickly agreed: "No problem, I'll take you in, but be smart and don't stay too long."

So Lin Mu and Qiu Di followed Wang Di into the General's Mansion.

It was only after entering the General's Mansion that Lin Mu knew why Wang Xi agreed so quickly, because there were not many servants in the General's Mansion, at least not so many that they could be seen everywhere.

Wang Xi brought Lin Mu and Qiudi to a place, and said to them: "I came here yesterday, but I found that I was blocked by an invisible thing, and I couldn't go anywhere else. Seeing that you can come and go freely, you should be able to go anywhere. Don’t go too far, leave early.”

Lin Mu nodded, then turned around and followed Qiudi.

The two looked at a lot of places, but there was nothing strange about it. The blue bricks and green tiles looked quite clean, but at the same time, it could be seen that there was no popularity. The General's Mansion was very large, but there were not many servants, and it was very quiet. , indicating that this general does not have a wife or anything, and even his family members may not live together.

Qiu Di said: "Let's go."

Lin Mu nodded, they stayed a little too long.

After finding Wang Yu, seeing the two of them coming out, Wang Xi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, you two came out in time, the general will be back soon."

Lin Mu asked casually, "What kind of person is General Zhang?"

Wang Xi frowned and thought for a while: "I look quite normal, not moody, but I don't like to laugh too much, and I go back to the house after eating, and I don't know what to do."

Lin Mu nodded to indicate that he knew.

Qiudi still walked with Lin Muhu inside.It's not too late now, so the two decided to go to a restaurant for a meal.

After Qiu Di finished ordering, Lin Mu supported his head and told her what he had observed: "People here say that the general and Lin Xu have a very good relationship, and they are going to get married soon. According to this statement, then Both sides should be quite lively, not to mention Zuiyoulou, it must be lively, with singing and dancing every day... But, look at the General's Mansion. It's not popular at all, it doesn't look like it's about to welcome a new owner. "

Qiudi added tea to the cup in front of Lin Mu.

Then said: "It is indeed worth thinking about, what kind of person is that general should also ask again."

Lin Mu took a sip of tea, then stuck out his tongue, and said softly, "It's so hard to drink."

Qiu Di smiled.

If you want to inquire about the affairs of a place, the people you are looking for are, first of all, people with low social status, because those powerful and powerful people always look down on people with low social status, and don’t bother to pretend in front of such people, so Generally, such a person can know many things.Second, that is to find an old man who has lived in this place for a long time.Needless to say, the old man has a lot of experience and naturally knows a lot, after all, he has lived a long time.

and so.

They found an old man lying on the ground begging.

Both.

Qiudi squatted down, took out a coin from her bag, and put it in the broken porcelain bowl in front of the old man.

The old man looked up at Qiudi in surprise.

Qiu Di smiled and said, "Old man, please have a bowl of noodles."

The old man's cloudy eyes were full of scrutiny.Finally got up with a limp.

The three sat in front of a noodle stall.

I ordered two bowls of noodles for the old man.
