After reporting the situation to the county magistrate, Li Nanke went to the night patrol department next door.
Because they were already familiar with each other, the guards at the door did not stop him, and Li Nanke entered the inner courtyard smoothly.
It's a pity that Leng Xinnan is not here.
He took the two evil sisters Guo Gang and Caiyun Caiyue to track down the monster.
But Meng Xiaotu didn't follow for some unknown reason. She was carrying a wooden basin and it looked like she had just washed her face. Her pretty little face was so tender that it could be broken by a blow.
"just got up?"
Li Nanke looked at the sun shining in the sky with a strange look on his face.
The girl ignored him, entered the house, threw down the tub and started combing her hair. Li Nanke also followed her into the house.
"Sister Leng is not here."
The girl dropped a sentence.
Li Nanke didn't care about the girl's expression at all, and said to himself: "The people from the shadow guard came today, and they seem to be pulling an ice coffin. Do you know what it is?"
"Princess Shanyun."
After a long time, the girl gave her answer.
Li Nanke was confused. "Who is Princess Shanyun?"
"Princess Shanyun is the daughter of Anping Hou Bei Wenliang. In the 23rd year of Tianwu, the entire Bei family was beheaded for being involved in treason. Only Princess Shanyun escaped."
Meng Xiaotu said while combing her shiny black hair in front of the bronze mirror. "Later Bei Wenliang was rehabilitated, but Princess Shanyun could not be found."
Li Nanke frowned: "Could it be Princess Shanyun lying in the ice coffin?"
Meng Xiaotu hummed. "I only found out last night that the Shadow Guards have been secretly looking for Princess Shanyun. Unfortunately, when they found her, she was already lying in an ice coffin and became a corpse, so they escorted her to the capital."
"Oh, that's it." Li Nanke suddenly realized.
Seeing that the girl was dissatisfied with her hair style and had spread it out again, Li Nanke volunteered and stepped forward and said, "Let me do it. I often comb my wife's hair. I guarantee that I will design a hair style that you are satisfied with. If you are not satisfied, you will hit me."
Meng Xiaotu was about to refuse, but after hearing the last sentence, she hesitated.
He was stunned, and the comb in his hand was taken away by the man.
After thinking about it for a while, he gave up and thought to himself: No matter how the other person is dressed, he will be dissatisfied for a while, so he will take this opportunity to beat him up and avenge the previous inspection of his body.
Thinking of this, the girl let out a proud laugh of "Jie Jie Jie".
Li Nanke held his long, silky hair, drew a heart-shaped outline at the roots, and continued to ask: "Why do they stay in Dongqi County to rest?"
"How would I know?"
Perhaps because he had foreseen the tragic situation of Li Nanke being severely beaten, Meng Xiaotu was in a much better mood, and the corners of her beautiful lips were slightly raised. "But maybe it has something to do with that rumor."
"rumor?"
Li Nanke became interested.
Through the bronze mirror, she saw a man piercing a small ball on the top of his head. Meng Xiaotu was a little confused, but didn't think much about it and continued: "It is said that Princess Shanyun was born in this place, and it was also Hongyu. Third watch night.”
"She can't be the only child born in the middle of the night in Hongyu. There's nothing strange about it."
Li Nanke was puzzled.
Meng Xiaotu said: "The whole story is like this. Princess Shanyun was dying after she was born, and she tried many miracle doctors and monks to no avail.
I don’t know which Taoist priest Mrs. Anping listened to, saying that she wanted to find a baby boy to drive away evil spirits.
In desperation, Mrs. Anping used a dead horse as a living horse doctor. She found a baby boy from nowhere to celebrate the wedding.
Who would have thought that with such joy, Princess Shanyun would actually regain her vitality and become extremely healthy.
However, the baby boy mysteriously disappeared. "
Disappear mysteriously?
When Li Nanke heard this, his heart couldn't help but move.
Being accustomed to conspiracy theories, his first thought was that Anping Hou killed the baby boy and lied about his disappearance so as not to delay his daughter.
"Yes, the rumors say that he disappeared anyway."
Meng Xiaotu said. "Later, there was a rumor that came from nowhere, saying that the baby boy who had given Princess Shanyun her blessing was a grave man.
But this grave man is different from the other grave men.
Other grave men can only be resurrected once, but this baby boy can be resurrected indefinitely. When Princess Shanyun comes of age, this baby boy will be waiting for her at the place where she got married.
Moreover, it is said that this baby boy can unlock the secret of Red Rain.
Unfortunately, something happened to the Bei family later, and this rumor fell into disuse. Now it seems like someone still cares. "
After listening to Little Rabbit's story, Li Nanke finally understood why Shadow Guard stayed here.
Apparently there was an order from above to see if Princess Shanyun's baby boy husband could be lured out.
"Is this the big case that He Panjun is talking about?"
Li Nanke thought secretly.
As the eldest lady of the Tianqiong Sect, she suddenly appeared here and got information in advance. It was obvious that she was here for Princess Shanyun, and everyone wanted to grab this sweet potato.
As long as the secret of 'Red Rain' is unlocked, it may not necessarily change the world.
"Do you think these people can protect Princess Shanyun's body?"
Li Nanke asked.
Meng Xiaotu seemed to have heard a big joke. "You are so smart. They are not ordinary shadow guards. Except for Dong Wankun and Nie Ying, two masters from Beizhen Fusi, the others are elite masters with a high reputation. Even if the Sword Immortal Ye Yaoyao comes, they may not be able to snatch them away. Let’s go, besides, how can you rob such a big coffin?”
Li Nanke felt inexplicably uneasy.
But Little Rabbit was right, it was too difficult to snatch the ice coffin under the eyes of so many masters.
Li Nanke tied a bamboo braid on the girl, then turned it inward and adjusted it to create a heart-shaped hairstyle, creating a hairstyle similar to a half-tied love ball. He smiled and said: "How about this hairstyle?"
Meng Xiaotu leaned in front of the bronze mirror and took a closer look, her beautiful eyes sparkling.
She is already cute and pretty, but with this more modern hairstyle, she looks even sweeter and more naughty.
"Okay, you're so smart, I didn't realize that you still have this skill."
"Are you satisfied?"
"Yeah, satisfied, satisfied."
The girl nodded like a peck of rice, with a happy smile on her face.
But gradually, she realized something was wrong. Shouldn't she have been thinking of taking this opportunity to beat up the man?
Now isn’t this a slap in the face?
The girl was confused.
"Oh, by the way, to express my apology, I'll treat you to a big meal again, whatever you want."
Li Nanke suddenly said.
After hearing this, Meng Xiaotu sneered and said, "Do you think I'm the kind of person who can finish off with a big meal?"
…
Half an hour later, Baihe Restaurant.
Looking at the table full of sumptuous delicacies, Meng Xiaotu held her hands in front of her chest, her eyes twinkling with love.
"You are so smart. Seeing how sincere you are, I will be merciful and don't care about it for the time being."
Meng Xiaotu couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks and said vaguely while eating. "But Sister Leng also said that you didn't see it clearly at the time, so it's not a big deal."
"That's natural. The mist was too heavy at the time, and I couldn't even see it even if I wanted to."
Li Nanke looked calm.
By chance, the waiter brought another plate of steamed buns freshly out of the steamer, and thoughtfully cut a knife in the middle.
Li Nanke was stunned for a moment and murmured: "It's so similar."
"What?"
The girl didn't hear clearly and looked at him with doubtful eyes.
Li Nanke immediately smiled. "It's okay. I said these dishes look delicious. Eat more."
"Uh-huh."
The girl moved her cheeks and ate deliciously.
Li Nanke was about to talk about something when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure from the corner of his eye. He turned around and saw a woman sitting on the second floor of the same restaurant diagonally opposite.
The woman is wearing a white shirt and a bamboo hat, and has a slender figure.
The most eye-catching thing was the two twisted long spears she carried on her back.
is her……
Li Nanke's eyes moved.
At this time, a familiar figure appeared on the restaurant floor where he was.
It was actually Shadow Guard Qianhu Nie Ying.
The other person walked straight to a table not far from him and sat down.
"Hey, you eat, why are you standing there in a daze?"
The girl's sweet voice suddenly sounded, and she kicked the man under the table.
Li Nanke came back to his senses, looked at the girl who was chewing the chicken legs, and said with a smile: "You can eat it, I'm not hungry, and I suddenly remembered something."
"What's the matter?"
Meng Xiaotu asked casually.
Li Nanke said seriously: "I have no money."
Meng Xiaotu: "??"
