and travel

The sunrise time on the mountain is early, at three o'clock in the morning, half of the sky is already glowing.

Luo Chuan was still asleep when Jiang Daoyang woke up, with a quiet side face and slightly pursed lips.He tentatively stroked Luo Chuan's face, and rubbed his red lips with his thumb.Being interrupted in his dream, Luo Chuan slowly opened his eyes with trembling eyelashes, and the familiar Jiang Daoyang in front of him was looking at him with a smile.

"What time is it?" Luo Chuan's voice was a little hoarse because Xu just woke up.

Jiang Daoyang took the clothes he handed over with a smile: "Three quarters."

The clothes Jiang Daoyang put on Luo Chuan's body last night, the temperature in this mountain is low at night, and it is most likely to catch a cold.Jiang Daoyang himself was not in the way, but Luo Chuan was poisoned, and the poison would slowly deprive people of their five senses, destroy their bodily functions and weaken their physique.Luo Chuan was only in the early stages of poisoning, and taking good care of his body could slow down the spread of the poison.

The sky at Maoshi was beautiful, with half of the face red and half white.

At this time, in the second head's room, the floor was full of torn clothes and broken cups.Li Shaoyi, who had been tortured all night, lay on the bed panting heavily: "Li Miansheng, I hate you so much."

Li Miansheng, who was behind him, backed out after hearing the words, but went in again fiercely: "You don't deserve to talk about this word with me. It should always be me who should hate it. Young Master Li, we still have a lot of time, let's enjoy it!"

Crackling—the sound of water hitting plantains kept ringing for a while.

Li Shaoyi tightly grasped the bed sheet, his fingers were pale, and the scars on his back were soaked with sweat.

I still remember when Li Miansheng asked him for the first time.Holding a carving knife in his hand, Li Miansheng carved his name stroke by stroke on his back.At that time Li Miansheng whispered in his ear: "Li Shaoyi, you can't escape."

The people behind were still moving non-stop, once and again, each time with ruthlessness.Until Li Shaoyi rolled his eyes and passed out at the summit.

Let's talk about Luo Chuan over there, after waking up, he regained his composure and sneaked out of the room again.Luo Chuan wandered around the village alone, looking around for suspicious places.

Yesterday, I got the exact location of Jiang Buran's bedroom from Xiao Yi, so Luo Chuan walked straight in that direction.

The house that Jiang Buluan lives in is not small. It looks the same as the surrounding houses, and it is also dilapidated.Luo Chuanfei got on the roof and lifted a few tiles, leaving a space the size of a palm.From here, you can have a panoramic view of everything in the room, and there is no one else in the room.After thinking for a while, Luo Chuan lifted a few more tiles, got up and jumped down.At this moment, Jiang Buluan pushed the door open and came in, so Luo Chuan had no choice but to sneak behind the door.

Jiang Buluan seemed to be drinking, and fell on the bed drunkenly and stopped moving.

Luo Chuan didn't turn around anymore, he has always acted cautiously and was unwilling to take risks.He went out through the window and returned to the place where he was held.

Jiang Daoyang was still sitting where he was, in exactly the same posture as Luochuan left.

"Have you found anything?"

Luo Chuan shook his head and sat down next to him.

Someone came outside the door, and he was holding breakfast for two people in his hand.

Li Shaoyi put two bowls of something that didn't look delicious on the ground, and was about to leave with the plates.He was pale, dressed in a white robe, and his black hair was tied loosely behind him.The blue mark on the forehead is still obvious, and there are some indescribable marks on the neck.

Seeing that Li Shaoyi was about to leave, Luo Chuan seemed to remember something, and shouted towards the back: "Li Shangshu."

Hearing this, Li Shaoyi paused, and said with a wry smile: "My lord is joking, I am not some Li Shangshu."

"Young master of the Li family, isn't it?"

When Jing Heting ascended the throne, he had the help of the Li family, so the Li family was very prominent in the court.Both the father and son of the Li family entered the court as officials, and both were ministers of the six books.When Luo Chuan was prime minister, he often communicated with the Li family, and even saw Li Shaoyi often.It's just that Luo Chuan didn't recognize him wearing a veil yesterday.

Li Shaoyi turned around and was taken aback for a moment before realizing who the person in front of him was.

"Prime Minister."

In my impression, Prime Minister Luo has a dead face, he treats people coldly and ruthlessly, and he is serious.And the person in front of him was still unsmiling, but his beautiful eyes were bright and cheerful.As a result, the facial features have eased a lot. The same face gives people two completely different feelings.No wonder I didn't recognize it.

"What's the matter, prime minister, why are you here?"

Luo Chuan: "Look for someone, I hope Li Shangshu can do a little favor."

Li Shaoyi cupped his hands and said, "Prime Minister, please tell me."

At this moment, there is still an hour and a half before noon. According to the plan, the Thirteenth Party will wait at the foot of the mountain, if they have not gone down the mountain by noon.Shisan had no choice but to send the prepared silver taels to redeem the two of them.At that point, going up the mountain again won't be so easy.

"Where are the kidnapped women kept?"

Li Miansheng often followed the second leader, and knew a thing or two about these things: "The kidnapped woman is locked up in the back mountain, and the prime minister can just discuss who he wants to find."

The women and men in Qinghu Mountain are locked separately, and the women are locked on another mountain.The mountain is next to the official road, so transportation is very convenient.

"Can you...?" Before Luo Chuan could finish speaking, he was interrupted.

Jiang Daoyang asked at the right time: "Do you remember someone named Xinghua? There is a mole between her eyebrows, and she looks okay."

Speaking of which, Li Shaoyi really remembered such a person.Not long after he was taken away two years ago, he had indeed seen such a woman on the mountain.

"Remember, Jiang Buluan treated her a little differently. He took her away alone, and I never saw this person again after that."

Hearing this, Luo Chuan felt that he had a good idea.

Li Shaoyi himself was still under the control of others, so it was inconvenient to stay longer, so he bid farewell.Li Shaoyi turned around and retreated after taking a few steps.He seemed to suddenly think of something: "I hope that Prime Minister Luo will say hello to my parents when he returns to Beijing."

"Wait." Luo Chuan stopped him: "Don't you know? The Li family was destroyed a few months ago. It was all done by one person. It seems to be revenge for something."

Luo Chuan visited the Li family once after the accident.Inside and out, there were dried blood. Father Li's neck was cut off, and several bones were broken.And the fate of the others was not much better, and the death of all of them was very miserable.The pupils are dilated, and the eyes are wide open, as if they are afraid of something.

Li Shaoyi didn't hear a word of what Luo Chuan was saying behind him.His hands were clenched into fists, his nails were pinching his palms, and fine sweat oozes from his forehead.Trying to contain what was about to explode in my heart: "The prime minister is leaving."

"By the way, there is a secret room in Jiang Buran's room."

After saying this, Li Shaoyi turned and left, staggering.There were no tears in his eyes, and his lips were pale again.

Watching him leave, Jiang Daoyang patted Luo Chuan on the shoulder and asked, "Lord Luo, are we going now?"

"Um"

......

I went to Jiang Buluan's yard again.

Jiang Buluan in the room looked at the two people who suddenly appeared in front of him in shock: "You?"

Before he finished speaking, Luo Chuan held his sword against his throat: "Be quiet."

Luo Chuan's sword approached little by little, blood oozing from his neck.

"Where is the chamber of secrets?"

"What secret room? I don't have one here."

Luo Chuan: "No?"

With a sharp slash of his sword, Jiang Buluan's neck was cut.The wound was very shallow and did not hurt the main artery, but Jiang Buluan felt the pain was severe.

There was no need to die for that woman, Jiang Buluan thought so and led them to open the secret room.

I saw that he touched the table lightly, turned the armrest of the chair, and stepped on a piece of wood on the left.The two rows of bookshelves opened facing each other, and the dark place in the middle seemed to be a secret passage.

The secret way was found, Jiang Daoyang looked at Jiang Buluan, smiled, and sprinkled a kind of medicinal powder on him.

There was something mixed in the powder, Jiang Buluandang covered his throat and fell down staring.With a bang, his head hit the table.

The servant outside heard the sound, knocked on the door and asked, "Master, are you all right?"

Luo Chuan pinched the shrinking Zhiqiao, but was held down by Jiang Daoyang.

Just look, Jiang Daoyang took out a silver needle, put it into his throat, turned it a few times, and then spoke in Jiang Buluan's voice: "It's okay, you watch outside, don't let anyone come in."

Luo Chuan understood that this is a voice-changing method, which is easy to learn but also harmful to the body.

"How did you do this?"

Jiang Daoyang put away the silver needle, bloodshot on the needle, took the water from Luo Chuan to moisten his throat, and then said: "I have been living in the rivers and lakes all year round, and I learned some tricks to save my life at critical moments."

"Um"

The secret path is still there, and the darkness stretches forward, as if entering an endless abyss.

Luo Chuan walked ahead, entered the secret passage, and went all the way down.The terrain is sloping, the surroundings are dark, and there are gusts of cold wind blowing, which makes people shudder.

Jiang Daoyang climbed onto Luo Chuan's shoulder, whispering that he was afraid.Luo Chuan patted the back of his hand resting on his shoulder reassuringly, and let him half hug him in his arms.

After walking for a while, enter the secret room.This is a cave, surrounded by mountain rocks, the air is humid and mixed with some blood.
