Chapter 34
Chapter 34
Mu Fuyu handed over the work at hand, and set off that afternoon.
In the evening when the sun was slanting, the ground that had been irradiated by the sun for a day was sultry like a huge steamer. A black horse galloped along the winding official road, accompanied by a burst of hoofbeats, kicking up dust along the way.
Sunset and moonrise, a round of bright moon hangs high, silver brilliance seems to pour down from the nine heavens, the forest is quiet, horses step on the moonlight, and the breeze blows away the dullness and heat of the day.
The moon is hidden in the east, and a ray of light in the sky is beginning to appear.
Before the ground turned into a big steamer again, Mu Fuyu found a post house to rest, so he traveled day and night and rested during the day.
In the early morning of the eighth day, Mu Fuyu finally arrived at Fengming Terrace, covered in travel and dust.
"To... to?"
It squinted for a while, and the moon above its head had already turned into the sun. Does time pass so fast?
Staring at a pair of beaded eyes, Jiujiu looked up at the tall and thick city wall in the distance, and his heart began to turn sour... After muttering for a while, he pulled himself out of his exclusive pocket, spread his wings and stretched out humanly. Waking up lazy in the morning, one fell off the bumpy horse without paying attention.
baji-a-
The hairy head and the earth came to a zero-distance hug of love. To put it bluntly, a grass brake came.
It was probably because it bounced when it fell, but because Mao Furry was not equipped with springs, it just rolled a few times and rolled into the grass next to it.
In the distance, only a clear hiss was heard.
Mu Fuyu groaned, pulled the reins, sat down on her favorite horse Moyu, and obediently turned around, taking its pony steps da da, da da...
Patting Mo Yu, Mu Fuyu looked at a disheveled bird in the grass: "This is what happens when you don't obey the traffic rules."
Looking up at the sky fifteen degrees, Jiujiu felt a little sadness, it fell... Hey!The host didn't even comfort it, and instead laughed at it for not obeying the traffic rules.
There was a traffic law in ancient times, ah!Chirp——
【Can a native bird stop making itself look like a literary angry bird? 】
[Is dog tail grass delicious? 】
blah blah blah...
He just said that something poked it in his mouth just now, and quickly spat out the dogtail grass in his mouth again, then shook the grass clippings and dust on his body, flapped his wings and flew into the air .
【snort!Anyway, you only have the little emperor in your heart right now?I knew it... You changed your mind when you saw something different, and you changed your love. 】
Mu Fuyu: "." How can you say that he is the same as a heartbroken man?
[Speaking words that people... can understand. 】
[It was originally, once you heard that woman dreamed that the little emperor was not good, you hurriedly came out to look for the little emperor like what? 】
【Did you make up your mind again? 】Mu Fuyu raised his hand to wipe off the sweat from his forehead, with a helpless tone.
It felt like ever since he promised the Queen Mother to go to Fengming Terrace to look for the little emperor, the bird would say a few or five sentences along the way that he was partial to the little emperor.
The tone of the little emperor's sentence was so sour that he could drink lemon tea.
【No, I didn't overdo it.You are just worried about the little emperor... I will not talk about you traveling every day and night in order to meet the little emperor as soon as possible. It rained two days ago and you didn't forget to go... and you traveled day and night...]
The more a certain bird spoke, the more sad it became, the hair on his body was split open, and he said sourly: "Admit it, you just have a new person and forget the old one."
For a moment when Mu Fuyu was speechless, why did he get involved with the newcomer and the old one again, who is he new?Who is it?
This sour lemon bird has been cultivated in just a few days... How many floors does that brain-replenishing skill seem to have improved?
It is undeniable that Mu Fuyu was really worried about the little emperor whose whereabouts were unknown far away at Fengming Terrace. After all, he was a child raised by him for a while, so it is not normal to worry about his safety.
But, where is the exaggeration that the bird said, it is used in different things, empathy, new and old, and he is not a scumbag.
Exhale lightly, or explain it, otherwise this lemon bird can be sour all the way to Fengmingtai, and then it can be sour all the way back to Shengjing.
In the same way, his ears had to suffer all the way back to Shengjing.
【Please, it's summer now, don't I drive at night, don't I drive in broad daylight?Will you suffer from heat stroke?And what you said... I don't drive on rainy days, I don't go to the village or shop, do you want me to sleep in the wilderness? 】
Jiujiu: "..."
It seems to be dripping... oh--
It's summer now, and it's cooler to drive at night, so I forget the basics when I'm so sour. Jiujiu, who stopped in mid-air, seemed to cheer up, and the pair of wings behind him fluttered alluringly, "Why don't you?" I said earlier, I thought you fell in love with the little emperor?"
Mu Fuyu rolled her eyes and said, "You're a bird...know what liking is?"
"I don't know." Shaking his head very bluntly, the bird raised his head arrogantly: "The old saying is good: if you haven't seen a pork, it doesn't mean you haven't seen a pig run. Just because you think about the little emperor every night, put it aside." Who doesn't think too much?"
[I think, if I really fall in love with the little emperor in the future, I will get along with him.You... definitely deserve the greatest credit, the credit is indispensable! 】What Mu Fuyu said is quite meaningful and has something to say.
He kept repeating in his ear every day that he and the little emperor had one or the other, so that sometimes he felt in a daze that he and the little emperor had... so what?
[Don't... baa chirp——]
【The little emperor is not a good person, you don't want to be nice to him... at most, just pretend, don't pretend to be real...】
Mu Fuyu cut off the words of the Lemon Bird who thought too much: "I still have to hurry, I don't have time to chat with you...Can you go?"
【I'm not afraid of Yuyu, you're going on the road alone, the journey is tiring, I want to relieve your stress... let's not talk about the little emperor, I'll sing you a folk song... hey...]
In the blink of an eye, its host had already driven a horse for a certain distance, and the fluttering wings stopped in mid-air for a moment, and hurriedly yelled: "Hey... Yuyu, you left me, ah chirp—"
【You should lose weight. 】
Jiujiu: "..." It ate it by its own ability. If it wants to lose weight, its fluffy hair should be rounded to look good.
【Hey, wait for me... Yuyu, run slowly, I have six legs and two claws, I can't catch up...】
It only took a few words, and the hosts ran under the city wall, and hurriedly flapped their wings to chase after it.
Fengmingtai Wangjianglou Inn;
"Hey! Brother Chen, hasn't the person you're waiting for arrived yet?"
There was no one in the inn early in the morning, the waiter quickly cleaned up the work at hand, and saw that brother Chen who was standing at the door of the inn at dawn was still standing outside, looking at the entrance of the city gate diagonally opposite from time to time.
Suddenly being called out, the statement turned its gaze back: "Not yet, it should have rained the past two days, and there was a delay on the road...it should be here soon."
The waiter in the shop nodded when he heard the words, and seemed to think of something and asked again: "By the way, Brother Chen... Your young master hasn't been found yet? He's been missing for a long time... Do you want to go to the county government to report to an official? This way you may find someone sooner." One o'clock!"
"Thank you for reminding me." Chen replied politely, then turned his gaze back to the gate of the city, suddenly, his expression was startled.
"Breakfast is ready in the back kitchen. Brother Chen might as well eat some first, and you can wait while you eat... Hey? Brother Chen, where are you going?"
The waiter took a look, and saw a tall and mighty black horse from a distance, Brother Chen had already galloped to meet it.The owner of that steed must be the one that Brother Chen has been waiting for for a few days, the waiter thought.
Soon, the clatter of horseshoes stopped at the gate of their inn, and the waiter in the inn had a warm smile on his face. Who knew that when he raised his head, the boss stared, my mother!
Good, good... a noble and beautiful young man!
It wasn't until Brother Chen called him that he regained his composure in a daze.
"Leave my young master's horse down, so I can take care of it."
"Hey, oh! Brother Chen, don't worry, he will take good care of you and will not neglect you in the slightest."
The waiter who came back to his senses nodded hurriedly, stretched out his hand to take the rein and pulled it, but the horse didn't move at all, and even brushed at him, showing a row of teeth... It scared him, it felt very fierce.
Seeing this, Mu Fuyu patted Mo Yu's long horse's head: "Don't be naughty and scare people."
Mo Yu said a few times, "Hey... Hey..." The horse's face was close to rubbing against the owner's cuff and the back of the hand, and the front hoof tapped the ground, as if to say: It doesn't.
"No, no... no, sir, this horse looks... docile and obedient, it didn't scare me, really!" To prove that he was not frightened by the horse, the waiter patted his chest and then straightened up waist.
"Young brother, please wash it, and then feed it some fodder."
"Young master, don't worry! You must choose the tenderest grass tip for it to eat."
Only then did Mu Fuyu say to the statement: "Take me to the place where the young master disappeared."
The statement bowed its head and said, "Yes."
The statement led the way, crossed the streets and alleys, and finally came to a dilapidated mountain temple in Beicheng District.
Mu Fuyu noticed a new wall under the banyan tree in front of the gate of the mountain temple that didn't fit here, so he asked, "Just built it?"
"Well, behind the wall... are all refugees."
After listening to the statement's answer, Mu Fuyu frowned: "Hasn't the court's relief food already been allocated?"
Regarding the Qinghe flood, the little emperor had already arranged various aspects of the aftermath, such as food, medicine and disaster relief funds, which were transported from various states and counties to Qinghe in batches.
It can be said that the little emperor has considered everything that can be done for the people.
"Another batch. The previous batch from Qingyuan has been repatriated back to the hometown. This is from Qinghe. The flood in Qinghe is more serious than Qingyuan... Rest assured, my lord, the government's disaster relief food will be distributed to the people in the disaster area as it is. , We will never allow moths who fill their pockets to touch the life-saving food of the people."
After finishing the statement, he pointed to the lush banyan tree in front of the mountain temple, "That day... the government gave porridge to the victims of the disaster. This mountain temple and even the alley over there were crowded with people."
"We received news that someone secretly sued Qian Baolai, the magistrate of Fengming Terrace, for wanting to embezzle the relief food allocated by the imperial court, and planned to replace the relief food with sand and gravel...The subordinates and the young master Qiao Zhuang dressed up as refugees. Come over and have a look?
Not long after the subordinates and the young master mixed into the crowd of refugees, the victims who received the porridge in front of them started a riot for some reason, and the scene was instantly looted and chaotic... Among them, a group of victims even directly robbed the congee servants. The saber in his hand has a ferocious expression, and he cuts anyone he sees.
Because of the brutal and bloody act of mobilizing the victims, the crowd of victims suddenly erupted, exclaiming, screaming, wailing...people crowded, people stomped...the number of victims at that time...there were so many...for a while, they couldn't be counted at all.
At this time, the subordinate and the young master separated. "
As soon as he got separated, he lost all news of His Majesty.
He had read the statement in the letter before, but at that time he thought that the little emperor had the aura of a male protagonist, so he took it for granted that the little emperor would disappear for a few days at most, and then he would be found back without incident.
So after reading that long secret letter, although my heart was touched, it didn't fluctuate much.However, as time passed day by day, the missing little emperor still couldn't be found, and Mu Fuyu realized that something was wrong?
It stands to reason that the little emperor, who is the leading actor, should not have been missing for so long, and after reading the original book, there is no such plot as the little emperor being assassinated and disappearing?
Comparing it to the original novel, and comparing it to the present, Mu Fuyu can vaguely feel... It seems that since the hero and heroine met in the restaurant for the first time, the hero did not help the heroine, and the plot of the original novel is like a wild horse that has run loose——
—Running to the free and vast sky.
And with this feeling, the moment Xiti little emperor put the Panlong wrist buckle on him, he knew that the plot of the original book had been separated from the little emperor... the scholar, and went their separate ways.
Thinking of the plot of the original novel, which was so collapsed that even the author's own mother might not be able to recognize it, Mu Fuyu sighed besides a headache.
Forget it, don't think about it anymore, the most important thing right now is to find the little emperor.
"Have you found them all?"
"I've searched for it all, I've searched for it within a hundred miles of Fengming Terrace... I've searched back and forth many times, but there is no news of the young master."
Mu Fuyu glanced, and saw that his face was full of sallowness, two conspicuous black circles under his eyes, and two red pimples on his upper lip under his nose, probably because the little emperor couldn't find them and got angry. The shape is also visible to the naked eye and has lost a lot of weight.
"Young master... Hongfu Qitian, nothing will happen." Mu Fuyu patted the shoulder of the statement, and his comforting tone was very firm. After all, he is the leading actor of destiny, and he will definitely not hang up easily. "Accompany I'll walk around."
Mu Fuyu stepped on the open space around the mountain temple and the surrounding streets and alleys, and then walked back to the mountain temple.
It may be because of the disrepair for a long time. From the outside, this mountain temple is very dilapidated. There is not even a place to stand on the inside. There are lush weeds growing wantonly everywhere. Basically, the skylight is opened when you look up. The wall Gray and white cracks reveal rusty beams corroded by rain and insects.
Nearly 20 days have passed since the incident happened, and if there are any clues, there must be no clues.
So turning around in a circle also adds a series of "visit here" footprints to the nearby ground.
"Before you separated from the young master, where did the young master stand? It was the last thing you saw... Where is the young master?"
The statement pointed to the entrance of the mountain temple, which was missing a stone step: "It should be here... But, the subordinates are not sure, there were too many victims at that time, too many... The subordinates and the young master exchanged The two suits of the victims are exactly the same as those of the disaster victims..."
Because he wanted to dress up as a refugee for verification, he naturally had to dress like a refugee. For this reason, he took a few white flour steamed buns and went to the refugee to change into two "vagrant clothes".
how do you know...
Thinking of this, the statement has already buried its head deeply, regretting endlessly.If he knew that His Majesty would not be there, he would stop His Majesty that day no matter what, and how could he put His Majesty in danger?
Mu Fuyu: "." He seems to know how the little emperor got lost?
You don't even need to think about it, once the riots come, the crowd will trample and push, let's not mention that everyone wears the same clothes, is it easy to find or not?There are also a group of assassins pretending to be refugees to make troubles inside... Can anyone find someone?
This pair of masters and servants is also a talent. In order to find evidence, they can turn themselves into refugees and then go to the base camp of the refugees, and even wear the same clothes as the refugees... Sigh!The IQs of these two are sometimes comparable to that stupid bird.
Suddenly cue tweeted: "You complain about it, can you stop me? Who am I?! I'm Saiman—Jijiu, but a high-tech civilization system, he's just a primitive carbon-based man."
【There is a wall between me and the little emperor, ah... There is a sea of Milky Way in between.So dear host, you have to recognize one thing, me!Sai Jiujiu is something he can't afford, Tong! 】
【Understand? 】
Mu Fuyu: "..." He just thought of mentioning something, and this bird blew his hair back to him?
【privacy?Do you understand what privacy is? !Don't intercept my brainwaves again, and next time, I will shield you for a day, superimposing each time. 】
【I don't……】
[I didn't speak in my heart just now. 】
Jiujiu felt guilty for a second, and rightly pointed at the tip of the wing: "Oh! Got it... I didn't mean it, you just mentioned me, well-then, I was distracted to listen, and I didn't care about what you said about me. Stupid."
Mu Fuyu took a look, then glanced away, facing to state the words between the continuation.
Ask: "Where is Wugou?"
The statement shook his head: "There is no news about the young master so far?"
The answer he got was still the same as in the secret letter. After being silent for a while, Mu Fuyu asked again: "Have you confirmed the identity of those assassins pretending to be refugees?"
"I've confirmed all of them. They are all street beggars, without father or mother."
"So they are not professional assassins?" But they came for the little emperor, and even deliberately snatched the knives in the hands of the government officials to kill people and stir up riots among the victims. It would be impossible to say that there was no one behind it?
The statement replied: "Well, after repeated and careful autopsies, it is known that those beggars should have eaten a chronic poison before their death. This chronic poison will be latent in the human body for a period of time. Becomes very moody and irritable, and over time has similar bloodthirsty urges."
But Mu Fuyu suddenly raised his head and glanced at the newly built wall next to the banyan tree, his eyes were cold: "Go back to the inn first."
The author says:
Let’s play a small game in this chapter, shall we——
Little cuties, guess what?Where is the little emperor?
Guess right, be careful with love——
The answer to the mystery will be revealed at nine o'clock in the evening, see you soon——
