It has something to do with this dress?

I looked at him in surprise, then turned around and looked at the crimson-red clothes. Perhaps because it was too late now, there was only a faint candlelight flashing in the attic. Looking at the color of the clothes, a little blood was faintly revealed.

I don’t know this clue, but it will be of any help to Zhesheng and the others when they think of the Longxi garrison.

I turned my head and said to Dad Hu, "Old man, I understand. Thank you."

Dad Hu looked at me, and a little doubt appeared in his eyes. He asked, "You asked this so carefully. Is it true that you have to do with them and the garrison in Longxi?"

I smiled and said, "I have nothing to do with them, but - maybe I will leave Longxi next and go there."

"Out of Longxi?"

He was shocked: "You, you are the only ones, are you going there?"

"It's not both of us, and there are many people who follow us to protect us."

Dad Hu looked at me in surprise, then looked back at the Miaoyan who followed Aunt Hu to take care of Hu Liu, and then said, "The old man is right. You and the young man during the day are all so decent, and they are indeed not ordinary people."

At this time, I didn't mind revealing my identity, so I just smiled faintly: "It's just that I rely on the protection of my ancestors. How decent can I be? It's not as good as the decent thing you get in this iron shop, one hammer at a time."

He had never heard of such a saying before, and looked at me in surprise.

After a while, he asked, "When will you leave?"

"It's probably been in these two days."

"Are you these two days?"

He hesitated for a moment and said, "The weather has not been very good these two days."

“The weather is not good?”

I was a little surprised. Although it has been very hot these days, it is already midsummer. Isn’t it normal for the hot weather? Why do you say that the weather is not good?

As if I saw the doubt in my heart, Dad Hu smiled and said, "Didn't you say you want to leave Longxi? The weather there is not good."

"Oh. It'll be very hot."

"If it's just hot, that's fine." He said: "There are all deserts next door, and there is no one in a few hundred miles away. And the weather changes very quickly."

"Have you been there?"

"I haven't been there, but my ancestors went there to do business and encountered many strange things. My great-grandfather told my grandfather, and my grandfather told me, and my father told me again. I heard that the wind over there was like an invisible knife when it blew, which could snatch people. There were countless people who died in the wind every year. When people went later, they could hear the unjust souls crying in the wind!"

"..." I raised my eyebrows when I heard it.

"I'm going to tell you, I was so scared that I couldn't sleep when I was a child."

“…”

"Actually, this is nothing. There is also a ghost town over there!"

"Ghost Town?"

"Yes! In recent years, people who have come in from outside the pass have talked about it. The ghost town is in a very low terrain. Every time this season comes, a lot of water comes out inexplicably, forming a lake. Some people look down from the lake and can see many skeletons. After the water recedes, they can't see it. Tsk tsk..."

I didn't look like it, but just turned around and saw Miaoyan on the side open her eyes wide and showed a look of horror. I couldn't help but sigh.

I'm afraid that most of these things are made up by adults to scare children, stopping children from crying at night, and as for that ghost town - it's probably a mirage. I've seen a lot in books.

Poor my daughter, come over and listen to such a terrible story.

So I smiled and stood up and said, "Okay, I remember all these, I will be careful. It's getting late, and I've disturbed you couple's rest."

Dad Hu saw that I was absent-minded, but he thought about it and said, "Miss, you should be careful on the road."

"I understand." I said, looking back at the crimson-red clothes, and then said, "Although the armor has been stolen, this clothes are also left by your benefactor. The old man keeps them well, don't let people know again, and have evil thoughts."

He hurriedly said, "Yes, since the armor has been lost, this set of clothes cannot be thrown away any more. I will no longer hang them, so I will put them away and press them under the box so that I will never see them."

I smiled and then turned around and said, "It's time for us to go back."

The old couple insisted on sending me and Miaoyan downstairs, then waved goodbye. After Miaoyan and I got on the carriage, we drove in the quiet lane for a while, and then returned to the inn.

Compared to the night where the rest of the small town was already quiet, the station was still brightly lit. When we walked in, we saw the people inside busy upstairs and downstairs. I grabbed a servant: "It's so late, what are you doing?"

The attendant hurriedly saluted us: "Your Highness, Miss Yan. The Emperor ordered you to set off tomorrow morning."

"Tomorrow morning?"

I was stunned for a moment - so fast?

Could it be that Xie Feng has already made a fuss?

I hurriedly took Miaoyan upstairs. Before I could reach Pei Yuanhao's room, I saw the door of Qinghan's room on the other side open. Pei Yuanhao was sitting inside, so we walked over. As soon as we entered the door, we saw Qinghan leaning against the head of the bed, his face was pale and his lips were not bloody. He probably sat up with a force to sit up. Pei Yuanhao was sitting at the round table in the middle of the room, fiddling with a teacup on the table in his hand. Hearing our footsteps, he raised his head to look at us.

Miaoyan and I stepped forward to salute him.

He said, "It's so late, where have you been?"

Miaoyan lowered her head: "Mom took me to the iron shop of Dad Hu."

"..." Pei Yuanhao lowered his eyelids lightly, and then said, "Go back early to rest, you will set off early tomorrow morning. Don't be inactive on the road."

"Yes, I know."

After Miaoyan finished speaking, she didn't look up at others. She turned around and went out obediently. A servant came up to take her back to the room.

I kept watching her walk back to my room before turning back. I looked at Qinghan first. He just nodded slightly at me. Then I put some snacks first, and then said to Pei Yuanhao: "Your Majesty--"

"I know what you are going to ask," he said, "Xie Feng's whereabouts have appeared."

"Where is he?"
