From the capital city to the south of the Yangtze River, if you travel day and night, it will take five days at the fastest.
The carriage is a top-quality BMW pull cart, and thick beautiful quilts are laid inside the carriage. It does not take mountain roads, and the official road is flat and not bumpy.
Su Fengnuan lay in the car to recharge his batteries.
Xu Yunchu followed the carriage on horseback, and sent a small group of people to scout the road, while the guards of the two prefectures closely guarded the carriage.
Because Ye Chang's brigade led the way three days ago and cleared away the obstacles in the ambush of the king of Xiangjun, so the official road was very smooth.
Five days later, I came to the border of Jiangnan.
Seeing that it was getting late, Xu Yunchu reined in the horse and said warmly to Su Feng, "We still don't understand the situation in the south of the Yangtze River now, so we shouldn't rush in. Should we find a place to stay first? Order someone to inquire about it." , make another plan?"
Su Fengnuan opened the curtain, glanced outside, and said to him, "Ten miles ahead is Luoxiapo. My master died there. I haven't been there for three or four years. How about it, let's go to Luoxiapo Xiapo settled down."
Xu Yunchu nodded, "Alright." After finishing the sentence, he ordered a small group of people, "Go to Luoxiapo to check, if there is nothing unusual, we will stay in Luoxiapo today."
A small group of people responded and went immediately.
The team moved slowly.
Half an hour later, the team came back after inquiring, and said, "There are a few thatched houses on the small side of Luoxiapo, but they are covered with dust and no one lives there. The whole Luoxiapo is also deserted."
Xu Yunchu heard the words and ordered, "Go and tidy up, and then we will settle down on Luoxia Slope."
The team should be there, and turned back again.
The team walked ten miles and came to Luoxiapo.
Su Fengnuan got out of the carriage and looked at the sunset slope. At this time, the sun was setting and the sunset was covering the entire hillside. Several thatched houses stood on the hillside, as in the past, intact, as if they hadn't been affected by the wind and frost at all. The erosion of rain and snow collapsed.
Su Fengnuan looked at it, and seemed to see his master, lying on the roof of the thatched house, drinking with a wine gourd in his hand.
She blinked, and the illusory image disappeared.
She sighed secretly. She and her senior brother missed their master more than they thought. In the four years since he left, even though his ashes were refined by her own hands, she always felt in her heart that he was alive. .
She approached the thatched cottage. There were all pots and pans inside, but they were all covered with dust.
The guards were sweeping the dust.
She walked around the thatched hut, and then sat down at the stone table in the courtyard, and said to Xu Yunchu, "I've been thinking, who killed Master? Suspected Lin Ke, suspected Fenglai, suspected I have been the prime minister, I have suspected the eldest prince. But in the end, I found that it seems to be neither."
Xu Yunchu said, "Before your master died, you saw him and confessed your last words to you, but you didn't say who killed him. It can be seen that there are very reasons that cannot be said."
Su Fengnuan said, "Yes. The master taught me and my brother that if someone bullies you, you must bully you back. After a long time, no one will dare to bully you. He would rather suffer from being dumb than let us do it for him. Revenge, it can be seen that this person really can't say anything."
Xu Yunchu whispered to her, "Do you suspect that it is the real Yunshan?"
Su Fengnuan pursed her lips, "I can't think of a reason for him to kill Master."
Xu Yunchu stopped talking.
Su Fengnuan looked into the distance and said, "In addition to being a descendant of the previous dynasty, the master was holding the emperor's order from Wangdi Mountain and the iron coupon talisman passed down by the Taizu in his hand. Before he died, he passed it to me. I I feel that the person who killed him was due to these three reasons. One is his identity, and the other two are things in his hands. I really can't think of the rest."
Xu Yunchu said, "It's best to find Master Yunshan first."
Su Fengnuan nodded, stretched his hand into his bosom, took out a letter she had written a long time ago, called a guard, and ordered, "Go to the Jianghu teahouse at the foot of the mountain outside Bali, find the shopkeeper, and hand this letter to he."
The Fuwei should have packed the letter and went immediately.
Su Fengnuan said, "As long as he is in the south of the Yangtze River, it is easy to find out his whereabouts. There will be news soon."
Xu Yunchu glanced at the sky and nodded.
The house guards quickly cleaned the room, lit a fire and cooked, and not long after, there was a strong smoke in Luoxiapo.
After dinner, the mansion guard sent by Su Fengnuan also came back, bringing back a person.
The man was in his forties and had a goatee. When he saw Su Fengnuan, he immediately saluted with joy, "The last time the girl came to Jiangnan, she didn't send me a letter. I have always been depressed. I didn't expect the girl to come to Jiangnan again now." You finally remembered me." After saying that, he suddenly thought of something and quickly changed his words, "No, I made a mistake, it's the Empress."
Su Fengnuan laughed, waved to him, let him take a seat, and said to him, "You should call me a girl! It's the most pleasant to hear you call me a girl. The last time I came to Jiangnan, I was hijacked within a few days, so I couldn't do it." Looking for you. Now that I come to Jiangnan, I will never forget you."
The man sat down with a smile, and said, "I'm most afraid that the girl will forget me. It's best if the girl can't forget me." After finishing speaking, he said to her in a low voice, "If you want to find the whereabouts of the old man, now is the best way to find him. It’s just ten miles away at Qianbi Beach. This old Taoist likes to live where there is water, whether it’s by the clear water lake or the Huangshui River. In short, he spends more time living by the water than in Taoist temples.”
Su Feng warmly said, "Shallow Bi Beach... very close."
The man immediately said, "It's getting late now, girl want to go?"
Su Fengnuan thought for a while, and said, "Who lives in Qianbi Beach?"
The man said, "He only raised a little Taoist priest named Xu Sheng."
Su Fengnuan nodded and said to him, "Don't rush to see him, I will tell you something, mobilize all the hidden stakes in the south of the Yangtze River, and find out the whereabouts of the prime minister's wife, Miss Sun Qingxue, and son Sun Zeyu. Look at them, Is it also in Jiangnan?"
The man blinked his eyes and said, "Girl, you don't need to order this. A few days ago, this subordinate heard about the incident in the capital, and after the Guozhang's mansion conspired, he had nothing to do, and his hands were itchy to investigate."
"Huh?" Su Fengnuan smiled, "This will save trouble, where are they?"
The man immediately said, "Speaking of which, this matter is also new. The three of them, mother and son, left the capital and separated. The prime minister's wife went to the Guishan sect at the junction of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Southern Qi Dynasty. Sun Qingxue is now outside Jiangnan. Concubine Xiao Xian's side is serving as a military advisor, assisting Concubine Xiao Xian to attack Jiangnan, it is very useful. Yesterday, your eldest brother was wounded in the battle with Bei Zhou, it was Sun Qingxue's handwriting. Sun Zeyu, it's nearby. It's in my Jianghu teahouse."
