Mysterious Tang Dynasty

Chapter 83 Missing
Old Zou Wang's second grandson is named Li Shen, who is only eighteen or nineteen years old this year. He is good at general affairs, has a cheerful personality, and has a wide range of friends on weekdays. He is well-known in the clan for his popularity.

When he went out to play, it was not uncommon for him to bring a few friends with him.

However, he is not going on a trip now, because his grandfather is seriously ill and may be dying, so he specially went to the scheduled cemetery to do some preparations.At this time, he still brought his friends with him?Is it really okay?Even if it's an act, you have to do it decently, right?

Besides, what happened to his friend?Although it's getting dark now, it's actually not dark yet, it's just that the sun is setting and the sky is getting darker.The area around Qiaoling has a wide field of vision. Except for the mountains, there are tombs, or all kinds of stone tablets, stone carvings and trees. There are not many large-scale buildings in total. At a glance, you can see everything. Missing?It's not pretending to be a housewife.

Li Lijun only felt that this matter was a bit absurd, so he asked Madam Cui: "What's the matter? Didn't Uncle Shen bring enough people when he went out? There are not many people around Qiaoling. Why did his friend disappear when he was fine?"

Mother Cui couldn't explain clearly: "That's what people in Prince Zou's mansion said. The sun is almost setting, and Erlang still refuses to come over. His subordinates are also in a hurry, and they all beg Ding Wulang to send some people out. help find it."

After Li Lijun thought about it, she simply asked her to call someone who could manage affairs in Prince Zou's mansion to come over for questioning.She couldn't believe it anymore. Someone could get lost in Qiaoling for no reason?Regardless of his own safety, Li Shen insisted on staying and looking for someone. It seems that he has a deep friendship with that friend.

The man who came to see Li Lijun in Prince Zou's mansion was a middle-aged man in his forties, who seemed to be a relatively decent steward in Prince Zou's mansion.He also brought along a young man Li Lijun looked familiar with, it was Lin Jiulang's servant she met in the garden of the Sui Palace on the day she returned from Ziwei Tianyu to Xuantang Small World, she remembered it was called Ah Chuan .

As soon as Li Lijun saw Ah Chuan, he guessed a bit: "The one who came to Qiaoling with Uncle Shen is Lin Jiulang from Lin Guogong's mansion?"

The middle-aged manager admitted with a wry smile.Ah Chuan knelt down and said, "Si Niangzi, our family Jiulang has disappeared for some reason, and his life and death are uncertain at the moment. Please, for the sake of the relationship between Princess Dou and our old lady, send a few people to help find Jiulang! It's getting dark, the neighborhood is desolate and uninhabited, and the night is windy and cold. We, Jiulang, are wandering outside alone, and we don't know what dangers we will encounter!"

Li Lijun remembered the young man he met that day, and frowned, "Please tell me clearly, what's going on? Why did your Jiulang disappear in Qiaoling? What danger might he encounter?" It was dark and windy What, can it cause any harm to such a vigorous general boy?

A hammer had no choice but to explain the ins and outs of the matter to her.

When Lin Jiulang first met Li Lijun, he was in a state of feud with others.It was rumored that he hurt the young man of the Wang family, but in fact he was just a scapegoat for the rich and powerful.Originally, there were people in the Wang family who knew that he was innocent, but the other party did not dare to offend the powerful, so they kept silent and watched him be ruined.Lin Jiulang was young and estranged from his old friends, including several cousins ​​of the Wang family.

Lin Jiulang's mother is the daughter of the Hedong Wang family, a young widow and a concubine, and her relationship with her natal family is mediocre.Lin Jiulang fell out with Wang's cousins, and there was almost nothing left of the relationship between relatives.The headquarter of the Lin family was originally in Fanyang, but they only moved to Chang'an in the past two years, and their roots in Beijing are not deep.What's more, adults don't care much about Lin Jiulang's children's quarrels with others.After going back and forth, Lin Jiulang's situation in Chang'an City became more and more sad.Originally, the rich and powerful children who used him as a scapegoat blatantly ostracized him, but now even his parents ignored him, as if it proved that he was indeed of bad character.Don't talk about making friends, he is just walking on the road in an ordinary way, and if he bumps into a son of a wealthy family who has a good deed, he will jump out and step on him a few times.

That is to say, Li Shen, a new friend who has only known him for a few months, believes in his character, has always been with him, and regards him as a close friend.It's just that Li Shen's grandfather is sick, and Lin Jiulang can't disturb them all the time, so he is always in a bad situation.Li Shen gave him an idea to let him travel outside for a while and return home at the end of the year.By that time, the people in Chang'an City would already have new gossip, so naturally they would no longer remember him.

Lin Jiulang didn't want to escape, but his widowed mother insisted that he avoid it, so he had to give in.However, in order to prevent those powerful children who deliberately made trouble with him knowing that he was going to leave Beijing, and secretly troubled him, or blocked the way, or set up traps to deceive people, Li Shen still took the opportunity to come to Qiaoling for a while. Taking this opportunity, he took him out of the city by the way.After all, Li Shen is the grandson of the clan. If he doesn't provoke others, others will not make things difficult for him.

However, Li Shen's trip was intended to create momentum, and he never avoided people when he rode out of Beijing. Many people saw Lin Jiulang in the team, and it was not difficult to guess that he would follow to Fengxian County.

Lin Jiulang was originally a light car and simple follower, and he only brought two followers, one was Ah Chuan, and the other was a skilled guard named Lin Yue.A group of three followed Li Shen's team all the way to Fengxian County.

Li Shen felt that it was still early, so he wanted to take a look at the tomb of the old King Zou in the bridge mausoleum, and pay homage to the two grandmothers on the way.He entered the imperial mausoleum as a son of the clan, Lin Jiulang thought he was an outsider, and it was inconvenient for him to enter the mausoleum together, so he waited for him outside.After waiting for a long time, Lin Jiulang was a little impatient. He felt that the surrounding scenery was good, so he wanted to take a look around on his horse.It happened that there was another cousin of the Lin family who was on duty near the cemetery, so he asked two of his attendants to go over to say hello, and brought the letters and items entrusted by the elders to the cousin along the way.

Neither Lin Yue nor Ah Chuan felt that there was any problem with Lin Jiulang going to enjoy the scenery alone.At that time, the sun was just westward, the sky was still bright, there were no people around, and the field of vision was very wide.And Lin Jiulang is a healthy and vigorous young man who has practiced riding and archery since he was a child. He also brings a sword, bow and arrow by his side, and he rides a good horse.On the boundary of the royal cemetery, it is impossible for any robbers to emerge, who will be against him?
However, Lin Jiulang disappeared as soon as he left.Lin Yue and Ah Chuan were a little anxious when they saw Lin's cousin came back and did not see Lin Jiulang for a long time.When Li Shen and his party came out of the cemetery and learned the news of Lin Jiulang's disappearance, they worried that the sons of the powerful and powerful in Beijing who had a grudge against him sent someone to chase him down.Although the area around Qiaoling has a wide field of vision, it is not uncommon to see various ditches and mud pits. The built empty tombs can also hide people. Dips...that's no joke.If you are less lucky, and meet some snakes, insects and beasts...

Li Shen just considered all kinds of possibilities, but Lin Yue and Ah Chuan were about to break out in sweat just thinking about the dangers that their little master might encounter.Li Shen believed that he had the responsibility to protect Lin Jiulang when he brought Lin Jiulang out of the house, so he decided to take someone to look for him himself, and refused to leave even if it was getting dark.Lin Yue went to his cousin of the Lin family for help.Ah Chuan heard that the fourth lady of the Sui Palace lived in an inn in Fengxian County, and remembering the relationship between the two families, he specially came to borrow someone with the steward of the Zou Palace.

After dark, they couldn't see in the area around Qiaoling, so they had to find them before the sky completely darkened.

Li Lijun has secretly passed the system, commanding the drone to fly into the sky from the rear window, looking down at the ground from the high altitude around the bridge tomb, looking for suspicious figures.However, in order to pass on the results of the drone's search, she decided to make a trip to Qiaoling herself.
