Mysterious Tang Dynasty

Chapter 84
As soon as Li Lijun announced his decision, the people around him had different reactions.

Nanny Cui objected subconsciously: "No! It's so late at night, how can the little lady take the risk to go out..." Before she could finish speaking, Erhong grabbed her and tried her best to wink at her, and she immediately came to her senses.

The little lady has already started cultivating immortality, and she can also use magic spells, so what danger can there be if she goes out at night...

Nanny Cui shut up, and Mrs. Shao hurriedly smoothed things over for her mother-in-law: "If you must go, young lady, then bring more people! Take Erhong with you and let her take you on horseback!"

Erhong nodded quickly.

The steward of Prince Zou's Mansion was stunned: "This... I'm afraid it's inappropriate? Fourth Lady just needs to borrow a few of our guards, and I really don't dare to alarm you."

Li Lijun said: "Lin Jiulang just saved my life not long ago. Even if I don't mention that the old lady of the Lin family and my grandmother are sisters, I can't just stand by and watch Lin Jiulang's affairs just because of saving my life. Don't worry, I will bring enough guards , I won’t hold you back. Instead of talking to me here, you might as well spend your time looking for someone.”

The middle-aged steward thought about it for a while, and didn't say any more.Anyway, it is impossible for the people of the Sui Palace to watch the fourth lady suffer, so there is no need for the people of the Zou Palace to talk.

Although Ah Chuan was surprised, he didn't say anything, but solemnly kowtowed to Li Lijun: "Thank you, Si Niangzi!"

Li Lijun quickly went back to the room to tidy up, then went out and got on the horse.Erhong's riding skills are good, and she can take care of her on horseback. Now she has changed into neat clothes and leads a docile mare to the inn to wait for orders.

Ding Wulang came to persuade him with some anxiety: "This subordinate will try his best to find someone, and there is really no need to work hard for Si Niangzi."

Li Lijun said: "Team Ding is just taking people to search for Lin Jiulang. I will meet Uncle Shen first. The search for people should be based on you. Please be more careful."

Ding Wulang suddenly realized that he quickly agreed and persuaded Li Lijun to take the car.Li Lijun shook her head and pointed to Erhong: "She will take me with her. Riding a horse is faster than taking a car."

Ding Wulang met Erhong a few times along the way, but only now was the closest to her. He saw that she was only fifteen or sixteen years old, but she was born with thick eyebrows and big eyes, tall and fit.After holding Li Lijun on the horse, she also turned over and rode up. The movements were skillful, and she was by no means a novice. He couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Erhong gave him a white look: "What do you think I am doing? It is important to save people, so don't dawdle!"

Ding Wulang blushed, coughed, and hurriedly turned around to join his subordinates.

They quickly took a step ahead, Li Lijun and Erhong were slightly behind, and rode to Qiaoling with seven or eight entourages.Riding a horse was faster than taking a car, but within a quarter of an hour, they arrived at the entrance of the bridge mausoleum.

At this time, half of the sun had set, and only half was still on the horizon, like half a salty egg yolk that was so red.The surrounding sky was quite dark, and the stone monuments, stone statues, and fields were all shrouded in an orange-yellow glow.

Li Lijun remotely controlled the drone in the sky and changed the camera to infrared night vision mode.

Ding Wulang, who arrived one step earlier, had already met with Li Shen, took over the duties of Li Shen's subordinates, and divided into several teams to search for people in various directions.Li Shen learned that Li Lijun was also here, and hurriedly greeted him out of the gate of the cemetery. Seeing Li Lijun being carried by the maid and riding on the horse, he immediately rode over, got off the horse, and personally helped Li Lijun off the ground.

Li Shen spoke with a bit of resentment: "You child, why did you come in person? Even if you are eager to save people, you don't have to take risks yourself. It is enough to let your guards come. You are only this age, and you can't even ride a horse. If you have to be hugged, how can you help?"

Li Lijun had no choice but to explain the reason why Lin Jiulang saved her life again, and then said: "Although I am young, as long as I am here, the guards will not dare to be unsatisfied. As long as Lin Jiulang can be found as soon as possible, the other It's all in the second place. Besides, I still have people with me, so nothing will happen. Don't worry, Uncle Shen, you just go and don't worry about me!"

Li Shen sighed when he heard it: "You child, you are still so caring." Of course, he couldn't really turn around and leave, but he still got Li Lijun's consent, and borrowed most of her entourage.Seeing that it was getting dark, and Lin Jiulang still disappeared, Li Shen was also very worried, and couldn't care less about being polite with his niece.

Li Lijun took the opportunity to ask him: "Which directions did Uncle Shen look for? Have you looked for those stone tablets, stone carvings, stone carvings, and vacant tombs?"

Li Shen sighed: "I've found everything I could. But Qiaoling is so big, with a radius of more than a hundred hectares. With only a few dozen of us, when will we find it? I'm also at a loss."

Li Lijun said: "Although the place here is big, there are not many places where people can hide. Besides, if Lin Jiulang has never been in danger, there is no reason why he can't hear you calling for people so loudly. Could it be that he went to a corner? A remote place, too far away? Has he mentioned where he wants to go to see the scenery? "

"What scenery are you looking at? He's just feeling bored, so he just wandered around." Li Shen hesitated, "I feel a little uneasy. Just now, my subordinates met some of the Pei family's children, and the entourage they brought was quite high-ranking. Zhuang Jianshuo, there are a few barbarians among them. I don’t know if they met Lin Jiulang. Back then, Lin Jiulang had a grudge against Pei’s son, but the other party has always been obsessed with it, as if he wanted to trample him on the soles of his feet..."

Li Lijun remembered what Ah Chuan once said, and he knew it clearly: "Uncle Shen is worried that Lin Jiulang will be killed by the Pei family when he meets people from the Pei family? But this is the imperial tomb, the Pei family How dare you have to let this place see blood?"

Li Shen sighed: "They are all young people in their teens, full of vigor. When their temper comes up, how can they think carefully? I am afraid that they will do something wrong on the spur of the moment, and even if they regret it later, they dare not let others know. It is even more necessary to attack to the death, so as to keep this secret!"

Li Lijun frowned: "It's not that the imperial mausoleum is unguarded. Even if the Pei family has a noble backer, is it more honorable than the people buried in this bridge mausoleum? I don't believe that the officers and soldiers guarding the mausoleum will not see these dudes doing evil. Take action to stop them. The children of the rich and powerful have their own ways to seek the protection of the elders. But if the officers and soldiers guarding the mausoleum fail their duties, they will lose their posts at any time. They can tell which is more important." He asked Li Shen carefully. Where have you been?Officers and soldiers routinely inspect areas outside the route of the cemetery. Have they ever looked for it?
Li Shen didn't know why she insisted on asking this, so he had to tell her.She silently drew a simple map of the Qiaoling area in her heart, excluding the places that had already been found, as well as the places where officers and soldiers patrolled. Suddenly, I found a shadow moving in the pine forest at the border of the western cemetery.

When the drone landed and got closer, she realized that the shadow in the pine forest was not a man, but a horse.The horse wandered restlessly in the forest, and there was a big pit 30 meters away from it. In the pit, there was a small figure, who was moving towards the edge of the pit with some difficulty.

Zooming in on the camera, the figure was indeed the Lin Jiulang she knew.

Li Lijun knew it well, it seemed that Lin Jiulang was injured.She then said to Li Shen: "Uncle Shen, I think since Lin Jiulang didn't go into the cemetery with you, whether he wants to avoid the Pei family or really intends to see the scenery, there is no reason for him to wander around inside the cemetery. Will he Did you go to the surrounding woods? The forest is densely packed, just to hide from people, if outsiders don’t go in, they won’t know what’s inside, right?”

"Forest?" Li Shen looked at the pine forests on the east and west sides, thoughtfully.

He thought Li Lijun's speculation was very reasonable, greeted her, and immediately led them to the direction of the pine forest to the east.
