He said harmoniously: "You can follow me into the mansion before we talk."
The man did not move and remained silent.
Li Luo raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise: "Is it inconvenient to enter the house?"
"Well, it's not easy for a third person to hear what the common people say, and it's not easy for a third person to see the common people meeting the prince." The man responded in a low voice.
Li Luo was very surprised, but seeing that the man's appearance was not pretentious, he pondered for a moment and replied calmly: "Okay, then find a secluded place." After that, he went to a dark place under the shade of a tree.
.
There was originally a stone altar here, three feet high, with some flowers and plants growing in spring and summer. By this season, the flowers and plants have long since dried up, making it unobstructed and unable to hide anyone. Moreover, the view is wide, and if anyone comes close, they will not be able to escape the eyes of two living people.
When the man saw Li Luo acting freely and freely, although he was a highly skilled man and bold, his eyes showed a slight respect. He immediately followed him, looked around and made sure that no one was paying attention.
My name is Daoyuan, my father is Ren Yuanshan, and he has a close relationship with the prince. The prince's appearance is what my father told the common people a few years ago."
Li Luo nodded and replied harmoniously: "Yes, your father and I do have a close relationship. Is he okay?"
"It's been more than half a year since my father passed away."
Li Luo was startled, breathed out in shock, and replied in a deep voice: "Is it related to me?"
Ren Zhong glanced at Li Luo, lowered his eyes and replied: "It is inconvenient for ordinary people to speak nonsense about the matter between the prince and my father. However, what my father has done for half his life is difficult to be seen in a dignified society and is detrimental to his moral character. According to what my father said, doing things for the prince is atonement."
Already."
"Thank you for your kindness." Li Luocheng bowed and said, "I may not have time to go to express my condolences in person right now, but I will definitely have time in the future. I will not sit idly by and ignore Senior Ren because of my death. Is there anything I can do?
It doesn’t matter if you say it or not.”
"The Cao Min came this time not to tell the prince the news of my father's death, but because my father had three instructions to tell the prince face to face."
"What words?"
"First, although the prince's guess that day was not correct, it was not far off."
Li Luo's face changed slightly and he hummed. Although he had expected it, he was still a little uneasy after hearing it with his own ears.
"Secondly, my father ordered the common people to take the prince to a place."
"where?"
"Zhangzhou."
"Zhangzhou, Nanfu? What's the reason?"
"Zhangzhou is located in a remote area and has always been known for its poor mountains and harsh waters. Few people have paid attention to it. However, a big incident has happened in Zhangzhou recently. An ancient tomb from the previous dynasty was discovered in Hancang Prefecture in Zhangzhou. It is said to be hundreds of years old.
As soon as the news spread, many thieves from all walks of life were attracted to the tomb. My father also went there once. It was this time that my father fell into the trap. When he was rescued, he was poisoned and was in a coma for a month.
After a while, the common people tried all their methods and could only watch my father pass away. Before he died, my father regained consciousness and woke up for less than half a cup of tea, leaving only these three sentences. "
Li Luo remained silent, as if he was discerning something, or just feeling sorry for Ren Yuanshan, a loyal martyr who sacrificed his life for the sake of his promise to Li Luo back then.
"What's another sentence?"
"Never let them know."
"Them? Who are they?"
Ren Zhong shook his head solemnly and said, "I don't know."
"Did your father bring back any tokens from the ancient tomb?"
"No, my father is quite famous in this industry. There were thirteen people who went to the grave together that day. Except for my father, the other twelve people all escaped unharmed. Only my father was poisoned and fell into a coma. I guess...
"Ren Zhong suddenly pursed his lips and said nothing, a stern look appeared on his originally evil face.
"Is it poisoned by someone in the same industry?"
"There is a possibility that Cao Min was not in Zhangzhou on the day of the incident. When he arrived, my father was already unconscious. Cao Min carefully considered the people who followed my father to the grave. These people were all my father's associates who lived and died together over the years.
, everyone has a chance to take action."
Li Luo was stunned for a moment and said in confusion: "Since we live and die together, we shouldn't easily kill people behind our backs, right?"
"My lord, I don't know. People in this industry often deal with dead people. They have a lot of dead energy but little vitality. They do shady things. They put profit first in everything. There are not many people who are loyal. There are some who can save someone easily, but
Those who kill people and steal goods will become more treacherous, and once they fall to the ground, even the living will turn into ghosts."
Li Luo took a breath of cold air. It turned out that walking across a mountain was like walking across a mountain. Compared with walking in broad daylight, these heretical ways were much more mysterious.
"My father told me not to delay. After the common people hurriedly buried my father's remains, they rushed to Zhuocheng and disguised themselves all the way. Only then did they see the prince."
"Very urgent?"
Ren Zhong pondered for a long time and did not dare to answer easily. After a while, he slowly said: "The grass people don't know how urgent this matter is, but since childhood, even in the early years, my father was rounded up by green forest masters, and the grass people's younger brother was captured without knowing where he was.
When I disappeared, I never saw my father as solemn and anxious as he was then."
Li Luo fell into deep thought. The news came too suddenly, which caught Li Luo off guard. Nowadays, he is surrounded by right and wrong, and it is really not easy to ignore it.
"If I can't go, can you send someone to accompany Mr. Ren?"
"No." Ren Zhong flatly refused and replied apologetically, "My father's will, if not for the prince's personal visit, no one would know about it."
"Then do you know what my father and I are looking for? In other words, Mr. Ren took me into the ancient tomb, but do you know where to look?"
Ren Zhong replied lonely: "To be honest with you, the common people have not been engaged in this kind of business for several years. My father only wants to wash his hands in a golden basin. The prince's order is the last thing on my father's mind. Previously, my father has strictly ordered the common people not to get involved in it anymore."
Things of the dead, this time, my father was really cornered, otherwise he would not have broken his oath and ordered the common people to take the prince to the tomb. As for after entering the tomb, what my father learned throughout his life has been passed down to the common people. I dare not say that the young man is better than the old man, but my father
Anything that can be found can be found by ordinary people."
Li Luo nodded, pondered for a while, and replied calmly: "This matter is of great significance. Although I am only one person, it is very involved. Let me think about it all night and I will reply to you tomorrow. Is Mr. Ren going to have a place to stay?"
place?"
"Yes." Ren Zhong mentioned the name of an inn and said, "When the people wait for the prince until tomorrow, if the prince does not come, the people will leave Zhuocheng first. If the prince changes his mind in the future, he can go to Qilin, Guojun, Yezhou
Tan's old shop in Pankou came to see me. This ancient coin is a token. If you show the ancient coin, someone will come to find the prince." As he spoke, Ren Zhong took out an ancient coin from his arms, which was stained with rust.
