The night was dark and the moon was bright and the wind was clear. After running around for most of the night, General Qu and the others were already exhausted. They probably were far away from the capital. Chang Zhen was afraid that Ling Yao's health would not be able to bear it, so he offered to propose: "Father, the place where there are sparks in front is probably An inn, we might as well take a rest in front, wait until the sky is a little brighter before going on the road, so that the horses can rest, and we can go faster tomorrow." General Qu nodded silently, expressing his agreement.
"Woo!" The voice of reining in the horse woke up the waiter in the store, and he hurried out to greet the guests.
"Guest officer, are there three of you? It just so happens that there are three vacant rooms on the westernmost side of the corner on the first floor. Although they are not spacious enough, they still have beds and tables. They are simple and clean. You can just stay there and make a living." Xiao Erbian As he spoke, he took the reins of the horses, tied them to the stables, and added some new fodder.
General Qu scanned the surroundings of the inn. The small inn has only two floors, and the stables in the not-so-spacious yard occupy a large area. The kitchen is on the northernmost side, and the doors are closed. It is well-equipped and neatly tidied up. The owner of this inn must be a fastidious master. Most of the rooms had already turned off the lights, only the room at the far end of the second floor still had a faint candlelight. General Qu was puzzled, how could there be light at such a late hour
"Guest officer, please." Xiao Er said respectfully, and brought the three of them to the door of the room. General Qu glanced at his two daughters with tired faces, and said with concern: "It's better for Ling Yao and Chang Zhen to live in the same room. Well, Chang Zhen can also take care of Ling Yao."
Chang Zhen looked at Ling Yao, and said softly, "Why don't you sleep with me? Didn't you like sleeping with me the most before?" For some reason, Chang Zhen felt flustered for no reason. Looking at Ling Yao, Ling Yao would disappear from her eyes.
"I used to be young, but now I'm not a child." Ling Yao said blankly, some things will come as they should, she doesn't want to drag anyone down, Ling Yao walked to the innermost room without turning her head. After returning, he went in and closed the door, and Ling Yao's slightly tired voice came from the room, "I'm tired, so I'll go to bed first, and my sister and father also go to bed early."
Chang Zhen shook her head helplessly, Ling Yao and her became more and more distant.
"Father, my daughter is going to bed first." Chang Zhen said docilely, General Qu waved his hand, telling Chang Zhen to go into the room quickly, and the three of them entered the room one after the other to rest.
In the early morning of the second day, Chang Zhen got up and went out of the room. She saw General Qu downstairs having dinner. She glanced at the door of Ling Yao's room. Ling Yao always likes to sleep in. He probably hasn't woken up yet, so Chang Zhen went downstairs Had breakfast with General Qu, and at the end Chang Zhen didn't forget to ask Xiao Er to pack a few buns for Ling Yao to eat on the way.
"Why hasn't Ling Yao woke up yet?" General Qu glanced at the sky and said to Chang Zhen, "Go and wake her up."
Chang Zhen went upstairs and knocked on Ling Yao's door, but there was no movement inside, Chang Zhen thought for a while and said at the door: "Ling Yao, it's time for us to go, get up quickly." There was still no sound inside, Chang Zhen just When Ling Yao was sleeping late, he knocked on the door a few more times, but there was also no response, Chang Zhen suddenly became more uneasy.
"Ling Yao! Ling Yao! Open the door, we are ready to go." Chang Zhen's eager voice broke the silence of the early morning, even the residents on the second floor could hear the banging on the door, but Ling Yao's room Nothing happened. An ominous thought flashed through Chang Zhen's mind, Chang Zhen looked at General Qu downstairs and said anxiously: "Father, Ling Yao... Ling Yao, she, she..."
General Qu also noticed something was wrong, he quickly got angry at you, and kicked open the door of Ling Yao's room, but the scene in front of him surprised him, Ling Yao's bed was empty, only the quilt was neatly folded on the head of the bed, the room There were no traces of fighting in the room, and the chairs and benches were placed in proper positions. Except that Ling Yao disappeared, everything was as usual.
"Ling Yao is gone! Let's go back and find Ling Yao, father, Ling Yao must have been taken away by that person, and something will happen to Ling Yao!" Chang Zhen no longer had the calmness of the past, and she promised her mother to take care of her. Good Lingyao, she promised her mother that she had already lost Lingyao, and she actually lost Lingyao this time.
"No, I'm not allowed to go." Unexpectedly, General Qu rejected Chang Zhen's request.
"Why dad, Ling Yao suddenly disappeared now, it's very strange, shouldn't we go to her first?" Chang Zhen didn't understand, obviously dad loved Ling Yao very much, why didn't he go to Ling Yao
It's getting late, let's get on the road quickly. General Qu sighed, urging Chang Zhen to pack his luggage. General Miao thought of the candlelight that was still on late last night, maybe there was something wrong with that room, but Ling Yao has disappeared, and the perpetrator must have escaped long ago. .
"Father!" Chang Zhen looked at General Qu in disbelief. Does General Qu care about Ling Yao's life? Seeing something like that, Ling Yao will definitely die!"
A gorgeous palace collapsed, and a woman lay weakly on the ground.
Ling Yao finally woke up, with a slight pain in her head. She opened her eyes, and what she saw was not the inn before falling asleep last night, but a magnificent palace. She looked around carefully, and saw that the hall was resplendent with gold and jade, and several majestic and majestic pillars stood evenly on both sides, and the carved beams and painted pillars were exquisite. That's right, isn't this the hall I visited before? Ling Yao suddenly came to his senses, and recalled the scene of her first visit to this hall in her mind, and she understood everything. Sitting in the middle of the empty hall, she felt helpless and lonely like never before.
