Chapter 1157 The Paper Crane Burns
They were still in Subei and had no idea how much commotion Zhou Shiyue's letter caused when it arrived in the capital.
When the carriage was about to reach the Subei camp, it made a clicking sound and seemed to have tripped over something and shook.
Zhou Shiyue was about to support Lu Zhaoling, but she had already leaned out and lifted the car curtain, "Stop the car."
The carriage stopped and the guards around it also stopped.
They also subconsciously became more cautious and alert.
Maybe they all had experience because of what they had encountered during this period of time. Lu Zhaoling suddenly spoke, which must mean something happened.
The carriage behind also stopped, and Yin Changxing and Weng Songzhi lifted the curtain to look in at the same time.
Lu Zhaoling's gaze met theirs, and then the three of them looked in the same direction at the same time.
When the others saw this, they all looked over there.
"That's the direction of Dagui Village."
Zhou Shiyue also looked over there and recognized it.
This place is close to Subei Camp, and the nearest is Dagui Village.
It was said that Dagui Village was somewhat weird before, and there was a soldier named Wang Xiaofu in Daying who went to investigate and had an accident in Dagui Village. Although he has been rescued now, there is no evidence to show that the villagers of Dagui Village were responsible for the accident, but Dagui Village has caused a lot of trouble for Daying.
It was said before that a family moved back to Dagui Village from Zhilin City. There were 20 to 30 people in the family. The old house in the village was not big enough for them, so they wanted to build a new house.
However, there is a mountain near the village that has been allocated to the Subei Camp. Now the Jia family is inciting the villagers to take the mountain back.
The eldest of that family was called Jatan.
It is said that this Jatan also instigated the villagers to take in the victims who had previously come to the camp for help.
At that time, neither General Qiu nor Zhou Shiyue cared about the affairs of Dagui Village.
But now seeing that Lu Zhaoling and his master, disciple and nephew were all looking in the direction of Dagui Village, Zhou Shiyue sighed in his heart.
It seems that they can never escape the things they should deal with, no matter how early or late they do it.
Lu Zhaoling got off the carriage.
She first bent down to look under the wheel, and saw that what had just tripped their carriage was a leather water bag.
This thing is not uncommon here.
The water bag made of leather is very strong and will not leak even if the outside is polished to a shiny finish.
It is said that some villagers think that having such a water bag at home is a valuable household item.
Generally speaking, this thing will not be thrown away easily.
"Princess, let me get it." Qingyu hurried over.
"Take it."
Lu Zhaoling nodded.
Qingyu took the water bag and shook it first. "There should still be half of water in it."
As he said this, he opened the wooden stopper of the water bag, and a pungent smell of alcohol wafted out.
“It’s actually wine.”
It's wine, so it's impossible to just throw it away. So, who dropped it?
"Princess, should we look around nearby?" Qingyu asked Lu Zhaoling for her opinion.
Zhou Shiyue discovered that these blue-clad guards, named by Lu Xiaoer, would now ask her for advice before doing anything.
really-
pretty good.
"Look around and see if there are any signs of dragging. Look in that direction." Lu Zhaoling pointed in the direction of Dagui Village.
In this way, everyone knew it without her having to explain. She should have suspected that the owner of the water bag was dragged into Dagui Village.
"Yes."
"Do you want to go back to the camp first?" Lu Zhaoling turned around and asked Zhou Shiyue.
When Yin Changxing heard her ask this, his brows frowned slightly.
Fortunately, before he could say anything, Zhou Shiyue got off the carriage and came to her side.
"Do you still want to investigate on your own? What are you thinking about?"
"I'll go with you, Qinglin. You guys go to Subei Camp and ask the military advisor what happened in the past few days."
"Yes."
Zhou Shiyue looked at Yin Changxing and Weng Songzhi again.
"Why don't you two go to the camp and rest for a while?"
They were all tired during this period.
"Yes, Master, you and your uncle go to the camp first." Lu Zhaoling also agreed.
Yin Changxing nodded and said, "Be careful and don't enter the village yet."
"I'll take care of it."
This damn kid.
What this means is that you don't listen to his advice.
"Brother, let her go." Weng Songzhi shook his head.
Isn't this child always like this?
Difficulty moving.
Yin Changxing and his companions followed Qinglin to the Subei camp first.
Zhou Shiyue and Lu Zhaoling were waiting here for the results of Qingyu and the others' investigation.
Soon, Qingyu came back.
"Princess, Your Majesty, there are no signs of dragging, but there are footprints. I have carefully examined them and they look very deep, so it is estimated that someone was carrying someone on his back."
"It leads to Dagui Village. After walking for a while, when we approached the entrance of Dagui Village, the footprints became messy."
Lu Zhaoling took a small paper crane, drew a breath from the water bag, and released the small paper crane.
As expected, the little paper crane flew towards Dagui Village.
Seeing this, Zhou Shiyue didn't explain why she didn't just use this trick, and asked Qingyu and the others to investigate first.
He agreed with Lu Zhaoling's approach.
Whenever there is something going on, she will use people first when she can. Otherwise, once it becomes a habit, she will do everything herself, no matter how big or small the matter is.
What are so many people doing then?
Lu Zhaoling thought so too.
Qingyu and the others have found the basic direction, and she just needs to confirm the last step.
And when this trace of breath was drawn out, Lu Zhaoling also casually calculated this person's vitality.
"People are still alive."
They followed the little paper crane to the entrance of Dagui Village.
Although they stopped, the little paper crane still flew towards the village.
However, just as it flew into the village and passed the boundary stone at the entrance of the village, it suddenly seemed to have touched an invisible flame and suddenly began to burn from the head.
"this?"
Qingbao and the others were a little shocked.
This is their young lady’s paper crane!
It actually caught fire?
While they were shocked, the little paper crane was completely burned and turned into little ashes that fell to the ground.
Lu Zhaoling was calm.
She knew that Dagui Village was strange, so she was mentally prepared.
She counted on her fingers and was about to walk towards the village.
Zhou Shiyue held her hand and said, "Wait for a moment, wait for news from Qinglin and the others."
If she went in now, she wouldn't know what had happened in the past few days, and he didn't want her to take the risk.
Lu Zhaoling thought about it and nodded in agreement.
They moved back a little.
Before long, several riders came running towards them.
"Your Highness."
The military advisor actually followed Qinglin and the others.
Zhou Shiyue stretched out his hand and personally helped the military advisor off his horse.
"Your Highness, Miss Lu." The military advisor might have been worried all the way, and now he was relieved when he saw them.
"Luckily you haven't entered the village yet."
Qinglin said, "The military advisor wants to come here in person to explain the situation."
"what happened?"
"Those victims who originally wanted to stay in the big camp couldn't resist the temptation of Dagui Village and followed people into the village," said the military advisor.
