When Su Shi left Qianqiu Zhiku, the sky had darkened.
Lin Mo drove in front, and Zhang Ao followed behind on horseback. Their eyes were full of warning.
Su Shi was sitting in the carriage, leaning on the seat, humming a song casually without thinking about anything.
His humming voice was very soft, but Lin Mo and Zhang Ao's ears were very sensitive, and this strange song quickly aroused their curiosity.
Because they have never heard a song with this tune.
There is no skill and the tone is flat. However, it is this flat tone that gives people a feeling of loneliness and loneliness.
Su Shi didn't hum for long, because he gradually fell asleep while humming.
Lin Mo and Zhang Ao felt relieved when the carriage arrived at the gate of the General's Mansion.
Lin Mo jumped out of the carriage and was about to wake Su Shi up when Su Shi had already jumped out of the carriage and stretched.
When he saw Su Shi returning home, Menzi immediately came to greet him.
"Second Young Master, someone sent you a letter."
"Someone sent me a letter?" Su Shi's arms that were still stretching suddenly stopped and looked at the door in confusion.
"Is it Miss Chen?"
Menzi said: "There is no signature on the envelope, but the person who sent the letter wants to hand it over to the young master."
As he said this, he took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Su Shi with both hands.
Su Shi took the letter and saw that there was no word on the envelope and the seal was intact. He smiled and said: "Thank you."
Just as Menzi was about to leave, Su Shi asked again, "When was the letter sent?"
"At less than three o'clock today, not long after the young master left home, someone sent this letter."
"Who is the messenger?"
Menzi replied: "It was sent by a letter from the shop."
Su Shi nodded, and when Menzi saw that he no longer asked questions, he stepped back.
Su Shi tore open the letter, took out the thin letter paper inside, and then fell into deep thought.
There are only two lines of writing on the letter paper, one line is the time, and the other line is the location.
It's Xu time tonight.
No. 36, Wuyun Street, Pingningfang.
Lin Mo saw Su Shi looking at the letter in a daze, and was about to step forward when Su Shi suddenly looked up at him and asked, "If we set off at this time, can we make it to Pingningfang in Xu Shi?"
"Master, are you going to Pingningfang at this time?" Lin Mo asked curiously.
Su Shi handed him the letter, and Lin Mo's expression changed after reading it.
"Sir, be careful of fraud."
When Lin Mo took the letter and read it, Zhang Ao also saw the content above. For such an unknown letter, he meant to put it aside and ignore it at all.
Su Shi thought for a while and said with a smile, "Let's go there. Maybe there will be an unexpected surprise."
For Lin Mo and Zhang Ao, they didn't dare to think about unexpected surprises. As long as there were no unexpected surprises, it would be good.
But Su Shi insisted on going, so they had no choice but to accompany Su Shi on this trip.
Before Xu Shi, the carriage Su Shi was riding in had already arrived at Pingningfang. When the carriage passed the arch bridge, Su Shi suddenly thought of Cui Peng.
In his memory, Cui Peng fell into the water and died in an accident on this arch bridge.
Although Pei Xun said in the end that Cui Peng's death was indeed an accident, and Pei Xun had no reason to lie to him, Su Shi always seemed to have a thorn in his heart.
Because Cui Peng's death was too bizarre, the cause of his death was also too coincidental.
As the carriage passed the arch bridge, Su Shi sighed slightly. He committed the mistake Zhou Jin said again and began to doubt everything again.
Lin Mo drove the carriage towards Wuyun Street. At this time, there were no pedestrians on the street. Only patrolling soldiers and watchmen could be seen occasionally.
Wuyun Street is to the west of Pingningfang. It took Lin Mo about two quarters of an hour to turn into Wuyun Street.
The streets of Wuyun Street were neither wide nor long, so Lin Mo quickly found his destination.
Su Shi got off the carriage and looked at the two-story building in front of him.
There was no light and everything was quiet.
Lin Mo and Zhang Ao guarded Su Shi, listening calmly and attentively to what was going on around them.
Su Shi didn't stand in front of the door for long. He walked straight to the door and pushed it gently.
As if knowing that a visitor was coming, the door was not locked. Su Shi opened a gap with a gentle push.
He was about to push the door open when Lin Mo stepped in front of him and pushed the door hard. The door creaked, breaking the tranquility of the night.
But apart from the creaking sound, there was no movement in the whole room.
With the faint moonlight, Su Shi could vaguely see the furnishings in the main hall, but there was no one there.
Su Shi smiled, raised his voice and said, "Su Shi came here as invited, and asked the host to come out to greet the guests."
Even though Su Shi spoke loudly, no one in the room answered.
When he was disappointed, suddenly there was the light of a candle from the second floor. It was obvious that someone had lit an oil lamp.
Su Shi waited again. Even though the oil lamp was on on the second floor, no one spoke. He had to sigh and said, "Since the master doesn't speak, Su Shi has no choice but to be an uninvited guest."
With that said, Su Shi stepped into the room.
Lin Mo and Zhang Ao looked at each other, then nodded slightly. Lin Mo stepped in front of Su Shi, walked quietly to the stairs, and listened to the movement above.
Zhang Ao held the sword hanging at his waist in one hand and searched around with vigilant eyes, not daring to be careless in the slightest.
Lin Mo listened at the top of the stairs for a while, then returned to Su Shi and said softly: "There is someone on the second floor."
Zhang Ao immediately asked in a low voice: "How many people are there?"
"I only heard one person's breathing. It was weak and short of breath, not like Lian Jiazi, and the breath was gentle, not malicious."
Zhang Ao also said: "There is no one below. It seems that the person upstairs is the master who invited the young master."
Su Shi looked at them in amazement. He never thought that these two people could tell whether there was anyone in the room just by their ears. how many people? You can even tell whether the person knows martial arts and whether he has any malicious intentions.
He became even more curious. He really couldn't imagine who would invite him here at this time.
So after hearing Lin Mo and Zhang Ao analyzing that there was no danger in the room, Su Shi immediately walked towards the stairs.
Although Lin Mo was very confident in his judgment, he was still worried about any accidents, so he walked ahead of Su Shi.
The three of them carefully arrived on the second floor. There were three rooms on the second floor, and the light came from the room on the left.
Su Shi stood at the top of the stairs and looked at the light quietly. After a long time, he walked to the door of the room.
At this time, he looked at Lin Mo. Lin Mo nodded slightly, indicating that he was in the room. Su Shi then took a step forward and knocked lightly on the door.
The door to the room was not locked. When Su Shi knocked on the door, the light in the crack of the door flickered in and out.
"It seems that the owner here is a refined man. He stays open at night to treat his friends."
As he spoke, Su Shi pushed lightly with his palm, and the door opened silently. Then his face suddenly felt as if someone had slapped him in the face, and he stared at that person blankly.
After a long time, Su Cai couldn't help but sigh: "So it's you."
