Chapter 48

"Master Xia, I don't know what those people have in common?"

"Mr. Li said that those who got sick all came from the same village."

Su Muge's eyebrows set when she heard it. "From the same place?"

"Well, the flood in that village has subsided. Would you like to have a look?"

Su Muge is silent. Now the patient's condition is still uncertain. It's not safe to leave her like this.

"The county magistrate of Zhou county was washed away by the flood in that village." Look at Su Muge's silence, and xiahoumo's secluded way.

"What?" Su Muge looks up in surprise.

"Since Mr. Su doesn't go, he will stay and cooperate with the second prince. He is facing the East and preparing his horse."

"Yes."

If you can find information about the disease in the village, you can't go this time.

"I'll go with Lord Xia."

Xia houmo's lips are slightly raised, and he strides out.

……

On the other side, Xia houkun asked Mr. Li to leave.

There was only Xia houkun and one of his confidants left in the room.

Xia Hou Kun is leaning on the back of the chair, her eyes are dark and cold. "Han Yu, how does this hall feel that Su Lun is a little strange?"

"I don't know if the second prince thinks that Lord Su is weird there?" A small official who has been out for several years and can't rank in Beijing at all. As a confidant of the second prince, Han Yu hasn't really noticed Su Lun.

Xia houkun shakes his head. Su Lun was released many years ago. How could he pay attention to such a person.

Xia Hou Kun waved, obviously not going to continue this topic.

"It's not easy to let my father promise me to come here. Who knows that he killed a blocker halfway!"

Han Yu also thought that it was a bit of a hindrance for the king of Jin to appear at this time.

"Father Ming has asked him to come to the disaster relief. Why did he promise me to come again? What do you think Father knows? " In a word, Xia Hou Kun straightened his back and sat up.

He did it very secretly. How did the father know about it?

"Your Highness, you don't have to be disorderly. It's the best policy for us to keep still."

Xia Hou Kun nodded. "You're right. Let people watch xiahoumo secretly. This hall can't let him do anything bad!"

"Yes."

……

It's very difficult to walk on the muddy road after being washed by the rain. Su Muge, sitting on the horse's back, felt the horse's feet slipping several times. If she hadn't practiced riding in the past, she would have fallen to the ground.

Zuoqiu and Zuowei are exploring the road in front of them. According to people in Zhouxian County, Dawang village is the closest one to Zhouxian county.

All the way, there are vegetation, trees and even bodies that have begun to rot after being washed away by the flood.

"My Lord, Dawang village is ahead."

Su Muge looked up and saw the remains of some bricks and tiles.

"Well." Xia Hou, molema, walks in front of Su Muge.

Zuoqiu immediately before, sweep away the yellow mud on a big stone, and you can clearly see the three words "Dawang village".

Apart from the houses built of blue bricks, the rest of the village is only the remains of some tiles.

Su Muge turns over and gets off his horse and walks in the ruined village.

This village is not big. It takes at most a quarter of an hour to walk from the head of the village to the end of the village. Now most of the mud houses have been washed down. The whole village is even more impressive.

"My Lord, my subordinates have found that the people in this village go up the mountain behind every day. They go down the mountain after a long day. But when they are asked what they are going to do, no one can answer them." Zuoqiu refers to the mountain road behind the village.

"Go and have a look."

They tied up their horses in the village and went back to the mountain.

As soon as entering Houshan mountain, Su Muge obviously felt that there were some differences. The vegetation on the mountain had not been damaged by the flood, that is to say, the flood could not reach the mountain.

The more you go in, the more strange Su Muge feels. He always feels that something is not right, but he can't say it for a while.

"It's already a deep mountain. What do those villagers do in it every day?" Su Muge said, even if there are hunters in the village who go hunting in the mountain, they won't have so many people on the mountain every day, right?

Xiahoumo stood still and glanced around. "There are no creatures here."

There's no life!

Yes, she said that the mountain is so strange. There are no birds in it all the way. It's such a big mountain. It's not affected by the flood. How can it be that there are no birds.

"Susu"

"Shua"

the sound of swaying branches came from the ear. Several people were alert to stop and look around.

"My Lord, someone is coming!" Zuoqiu and Zuowei protect xiahoumo.

The shade of the trees on the ground is mottled. Suddenly, the shadow at Su Muge's foot is dark, and a ghostly black figure swoops towards her.Su Muge looks stunned. She wants to avoid it. Next second, she has another big hand on her waist and lifts her whole body.

"Bang!"

Ten people in black appeared and surrounded them.

Xia houmo let go of Su Muge and let her stand behind her.

"Trespasser, die!"

People in black don't have too much nonsense. Come up and fight directly.

Several people in black rushed to Su Muge and Xia houmo.

Xia houmo's eyebrows and eyes are dark. When he punches hard, he smashes it on a black face. At that moment, Su Muge thinks his brain is broken!

Su Muge looks at xiahoumo standing in front of him. He looks like a shield and can stop all the fighting attacks.

Su Muge holds the dagger in his hand and blocks the man in black who steals from the back of Xia houmo.

"Go!" Xia houmo said in a deep voice, reaching for her waist and flying to the tree.

Through the branches, Su Muge found that the men in black came from their left direction.

Obviously, Xia houmo also found this problem, and thought of one with her.

Xia houmo takes Su Muge to shuttle among the trees, all the way to the forest.

People in black quickly catch up with each other, but their lightness skills are far inferior to those of Xia houmo. However, within half a quarter of an hour, they lose their lightness skills.

In the eyes of the man in black, there was a fierce and bloodthirsty look.

"Go to find them separately, and get them back!"

"Yes."

At the other end of the mountain forest, Xia houmo stopped, and looked down at the whole person glued to Su Muge.

Su Muge holds xiahoumo's neck tightly, his legs are wrapped around his waist, and his head is still buried in other people's neck, so he has no manliness at all!

"Mr. Su looks scared." The low mute voice let Su Muge return to the spirit to look at him stupidly from Xia houmo's neck socket.

After the deep black eyes, Su Muge let out a low cry and stood aside.

What a shame!

Think that she is not afraid of heaven and earth, how can she be afraid of heights!

She would never admit how scared she was when Xia houmo flew with her in the tall tree! This bad man even made fun of her. How ungrateful!

Su Muge groaned and didn't speak.

Looking at her angry face, he dared not attack it. Xia houmo slightly hooked his lips. Suddenly, he wanted to reach out and poke the angry cheek, which should be good.

After several deep breaths, Su Muge feels that her mood has calmed down a lot, and observes the situation around her to distract her attention.

When she turned around, she saw a very hidden cave.

She went up and pulled all the plants out of the cave. A hole about half a meter in diameter appeared.

Su Muge squatted down to observe the surrounding environment of the cave, and then stood up in a moment and said: "this cave has been accessed for a long time, and the plants covered in the cave grow very year by year, but they are deliberately covered."

"That's right." After Xia houmo left a contact signal, he walked into the cave.

Su Muge secretly stares at him and follows.

At first, the hole was very dark, and almost nothing could be seen. But when they pushed open the simple wooden door, they suddenly saw a light.

"How can it be like a tunnel?"

Xia Hou Mo reached out and touched the mud on both sides of the tunnel, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed. "It's old mud, not new."

Su Muge found a lot of messy footprints in the tunnel. It seems that people often walk here.

They walked down as if they could not get to the end at all. Occasionally, they saw a small open space on the side of the tunnel, covered with boards and straw, which looked like a place for rest.

After about two-quarters of an hour's walk, xiahoumo suddenly stops.

Su Muge was distracted and almost hit his back.

"Why don't you leave? Did you find anything?"

Xia Hou Mo pinched the mud on the ground and looked at it. "The mud here is newer than it was when it came in, but it's been a while."

Su Muge looked at him, puzzled.

Xia houmo threw away the mud and clapped his hands. "It may be a long way to go."

"Xia doesn't want to know where the tunnel leads?"

"There are some things that I don't need to do personally."

Su Muge choked and suddenly kicked something on her feet when she turned around. She looked down and saw that it was a red porcelain bottle. She bent over and picked up the bottle. Su Muge subconsciously put it to smell.

Her nose is very sensitive to medicine, so it doesn't feel right when she smells it.

"What is that?"

"I found it on the ground. There's a smell of medicine in the bottle. It's strange."

"Let me have a look."

Su Muge looked at the hand that stretched out to his eyes and was a little surprised, but he still handed the porcelain bottle to him.Xia houmo took the porcelain bottle and put it on the tip of his nose to smell it. "Plain heart grass?"

"Suxincao......" This is one of the herbs most often sold to the state of Chu. It has the effect of nourishing yin and lungs.

"Xia adult also knows herbs?"

Xia houmo returned the porcelain vase to her, and said indifferently, "yes, let's go."

"Well."

There is a cold wind in the long corridor. It's airy here, which proves that the other end has been opened.

Su Muge walked behind xiahoumo, always feeling that someone was looking at them, but when he looked back, there was nothing behind him except the marginal corridor.

"Those men in black will not wait at the entrance of the cave?"

"If they knew we were here, they would only come in."

A shadow slowly came out of the darkness after they went far away
