"Ah!" Chu Ying'er exclaimed. The courtyards around the abandoned building had been clearly inspected by the Sirius Cavalry. Unexpectedly, Li Luo had secretly arranged such a place and hid it from everyone.
Eyes, but think about it, the most incredible places are often the most unexpected.
Chu Ying'er couldn't help but feel angry, and secretly thought that she should be more careful in the future, so that Li Luo wouldn't hide everything.
"Brother Yin is inconvenient to stay in the mansion. There are many people in the mansion and it is inevitable that bad things will happen. The place where Brother Yin lives is right next to you. Even if someone sees you, they may not be able to guess what you are doing."
"But I can't stay with Yin Mohuai forever and let Leng Bing stay in one place. His temper is too difficult. What should the guards do? Let Ni Qing, Ni Bai and the others set up hidden stakes?"
Li Luo shook his head and said: "No, the Sirius Rider has been in and out of Zhuocheng a lot. I'm afraid some people have memorized it by heart. When they see them, they can guess that it is Mu Tianlang, and there is someone else guarding it."
"Oh, is it reliable?"
Li Luo nodded and said softly: "I'll ask Miss Gu Liang to help take care of it."
"Princess?" Chu Ying'er asked in astonishment.
Li Luo scratched his head and said with a smile: "Isn't it not good?"
Chu Ying'er snorted and said angrily: "No, the maids beside the princess have extraordinary martial arts skills, especially that Gan Qi, whose martial arts skills are not inferior to mine, and they all have strange faces. No one will know."
"Hey, that's good." Li Luo seemed a little embarrassed and his face turned slightly red.
Chu Ying'er glanced at Li Luo and saw that they were already married. However, the relationship between Li Luo and Gu Lianglei seemed to be very strange. To say they were treating each other as if they were guests would be too much.
Half a year has passed and I haven't heard of the two of them sleeping together. Could it be that it was just to give Gu Lianglei the status of a princess? If that was the case, it would be unfair to Gu Lianglei.
Li Luo could more or less guess what Chu Ying'er was thinking, and he looked quite embarrassed.
Chu Ying'er pretended not to see it, agreed to the matter, turned around and left, making Li Luo breathe a slight sigh of relief.
Things in the palace were arranged properly, and Li Luo received the imperial edict from the palace. Emperor Wanlong asked a few questions before letting Li Luo make arrangements on his own.
Two days later, Li Luo, Rang Sihanshan and others left Zhuocheng early in the morning, whipped their horses and rushed to Chuyang Prefecture.
The group of people left the city from the east, went south along the Suo River for fifty miles, crossed the river at Qiushan Ferry, and headed east along the way to Chuyang Prefecture.
When we left Zhuocheng, the sky was clear and blue, with a few loose white clouds hanging around. The breeze blew on our face, driving away some of the scorching heat.
It was cloudy and cool, and it seemed like a good day to travel. However, less than an hour after everyone left Zhuocheng, clouds suddenly appeared, and black clouds shot out from nowhere at a speed that could be discerned with the naked eye, blocking the scorching sun.
As soon as the sky darkened, the wind picked up, and there was a slight chill. Li Luo and Zhai Liaoyu looked at each other, and it was difficult to travel. They did not expect that it would rain before they left the Zhuocheng boundary.
Just after noon, the sky became increasingly gloomy. Zhai Liao said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, it seems there is a heavy rain. Find a place to take shelter."
Li Luo nodded and briefly exchanged words with Rangsi Hanshan. Rangsi Hanshan had been in Caohai for a long time, and his ability to observe the sky was not inferior to Li Luo's, so he responded.
The rain came quickly and will probably go away quickly, but it doesn't look like it will be too light.
The group of people hurried a few steps and arrived at Qiushan Ferry before the raindrops fell. There were merchants who had settled here in the past, and people came and went. Over time, a smaller market was formed. The market was built along the river, with groceries, inns, taverns, and gambling houses.
It has everything you need, it’s not deserted, but has a weird kind of chaos.
Most of the taverns and inns at Qiu Shan Ferry are built on the river bank. The scenery is very good, with water on one side and a lively market on the other. If you are not in an emergency, stay here for one night and listen to the sound of water outside the window.
A pot of fine wine and a plate or two of delicious side dishes will make you feel at ease.
As soon as Li Luo and others entered the largest inn at Qiushan Ferry, the rain began to fall. It would be more appropriate to say it was falling, rather than pouring.
The raindrops tinkled on the tiles, almost smashing through the roof.
It got dark outside the house in the blink of an eye, the wind blew loudly, and the willows on the embankment were dancing like crazy demons, sometimes heading north, sometimes south, with branches and leaves flying all over the sky mixed with the rain. Li Luo was secretly shocked, this scene
The rain is really heavy.
There were not many people in the inn, there were ten tables set up in the hall, and including Li Luo and others, only five tables and chairs were occupied.
Li Luo asked for a pot of tea, and the shopkeeper quickly made it and brought it over. He looked at the window curtains from time to time, fearing that the strong wind would blow away the inn.
"It's raining so heavily. I wonder if Zhu Zhi and the others have crossed the river?" Zhai Liaoyu asked worriedly.
"He left Zhuocheng two hours earlier than us. According to his footsteps, he should have crossed the Suoshui River long ago." Li Luo was not too worried. He took a sip of tea and responded harmoniously.
Zhai Liaoyu was relieved when he thought about it, but the rain was so heavy that it would probably be difficult to find the secret message left by Zhu Zhi.
A few people chatted for a while. Such heavy rains in Caohai in midsummer are rare, but not uncommon. Listening to Ruang Sikui's quiet and peaceful description, the violent storms in Caohai are probably worse than the current rain.
More intense.
As the gentle sound reached his ears, Li Luo felt a little yearning for the scene of grass, sea and rain described by Rang Sikui.
There were not many trees in that area, so we had to let the strong winds and thunderstorms rage.
The sound of the wind is not as loud as outside the inn at the moment, but it should be longer and stronger. Not to mention small livestock such as sheep and dogs, even a cow or a horse will be blown into the sky by the wind.
It would be fine if a person lowered his body once he left the tent, but if he stood, even if he had extraordinary martial arts skills, he would still be unable to move in such wind and rain. If he was not careful, he would roll everywhere like a dropped gourd.
At this time in the sea of grass, the color of the sky and the earth is no longer very clear. The dark clouds are heavy in the middle, and it looks like the sky has collapsed, connecting the ground and the sky. The stronger the wind, the more violent the sky and the earth will be.
Everything in between seems as if the world has turned upside down.
As he spoke, a dazzling bolt of lightning pierced the sky and landed on the Suoshui River not far away, like a strange monster realm.
The surrounding area of the market suddenly lit up. Before the thunder could be heard, there was another bolt of lightning, which was a bit brighter than the previous one.
The merchants in the inn all exclaimed, in front of Tianwei, people are as worthless as ants.
Suddenly, someone in the inn screamed: "What is that?"
Li Luo and others looked back and saw a man who looked like a businessman looking at the open space in front of the inn in horror.
The sky was very dark, so it wasn't very clear, but it seemed like a black figure was standing in the empty space in front of the hall, like an evil ghost driven out by thunder.
