The second grandson of the old King Zou is named Li Shen. He is only 18 or 19 years old this year. He is good at general affairs and has a cheerful personality. He has a wide circle of friends and is well-known in the clan for being popular.

It’s not unusual at all for him to take a few friends with him when he goes out for fun.

However, he is not traveling now. He went to the predetermined cemetery to make some preparations because his grandfather is seriously ill and may be about to die. At this time, he still brings his friends with him? Is it really okay? Even if

It’s just a show, so it should be done decently, right?

Besides, what's going on with his friend? Although it's getting dark now, in fact it's not dark yet, it's just that the sun is setting and the sky is getting darker. The Qiaoling area has a wide view, except for the mountains, it's the tomb, otherwise it's

Various stone monuments, stone carvings and trees, but only a few large-scale buildings. At a glance, you can see everything. Who can make a disappearance in that place? It's not like pretending to be a family.

Li Lijun only felt that this matter was a bit ridiculous, so she asked Aunt Cui: "What's going on? Didn't Uncle Shen bring enough people when he went out? There are not many people in Qiaoling area. Why is his good friend missing?"

Aunt Cui couldn't explain clearly: "That's what the people in Prince Zou's Mansion said. The sun was almost setting, but Erlang still refused to come over. His people were also anxious, and they all begged Ding Wulang to let him send some people out.

Help me find it."

Li Lijun thought for a while, and simply asked her to call someone in charge of things in Prince Zou's mansion to question her. She didn't believe it. How could someone get lost in Qiaoling for no reason? How could Li Shen insist on staying and looking for her regardless of her own safety?

Man, depending on the situation, his friendship with that friend is also very deep.

The person who came to see Li Lijun in Prince Zou's Mansion was a middle-aged man in his forties. He looked like a respectable steward in Prince Zou's Mansion. He also brought along a young man who looked familiar to Li Lijun. It was she who had returned from Ziwei Tianyu.

On the day she arrived at the Little World of Xuantang, she remembered that the servant of Lin Jiulang she met in the garden of the Sui Palace was named A Chui.

As soon as Li Lijun saw Ah Chui, she already guessed: "The person who came to Qiaoling with Uncle Shen is Lin Jiulang from Duke Lin's Mansion?"

The middle-aged steward admitted with a wry smile. Ah Chui knelt down and said: "Fourth lady, our 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, please send a few people to help.

Let's look for Kuro! It's almost dark, the area is desolate and uninhabited, and the wind is cold at night. We, Kuro, are living alone, and we don't know what dangers we will encounter!"

Li Lijun thought of the young man she had met that day and frowned: "Please tell me clearly what is going on? Why did you Jiulang disappear in Qiaoling? What dangers might he encounter?" It was dark and windy.

What kind of harm could it cause to such a strong young general?

Ah Chui had no choice but to explain the whole story to her.

When Lin Jiulang first met Li Lijun, he was in a state of enmity. It was rumored that he hurt the young man of the Wang family, but in fact he was just a scapegoat for the powerful children. Originally, there were people in the Wang family who knew that he was innocent.

However, the other party did not dare to offend the powerful, so he kept silent and watched his reputation be ruined. Lin Jiulang was young and energetic, and he became estranged from his old friends, including several cousins ​​of the Wang family.

Lin Jiulang's mother is the daughter of the Wang family in Hedong. She was widowed at a young age and was born as a concubine. Her relationship with her natal family was mediocre. Lin Jiulang fell out with his cousins ​​from the Wang family, and there was almost no friendship left between relatives. The headquarters of the Lin family

Originally from Fanyang, he moved to Chang'an in the past two years, and his foundation in Beijing is not deep. Besides, Lin Jiulang's children had troubles with others at home, and the adults didn't take it to heart. After this back and forth, Lin Jiulang's situation in Chang'an City

It became even more sad. The rich and powerful children who used to use him as a scapegoat openly ostracized him by calling their friends, but now they even ignored him, as if it confirmed that he was indeed a bad character. Let alone making friends.

, he was just walking on the road, and if he bumped into a rich and powerful kid from an aristocratic family who was up to no good, he would 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 and has always been loyal to him and regards him as a close friend. However, Li Shen’s grandfather is sick and Lin Jiulang cannot disturb him all the time, so the situation is always bad.

Li Shen gave him an idea and asked him to travel abroad for a while and then return home at the end of the year. By then, people in Chang'an would already have new gossip, and naturally they would not remember him anymore.

Lin Jiulang didn't want to escape, but his widowed mother insisted on him avoiding it, so he had to give in. However, in order to prevent the powerful children who deliberately tried to make things difficult for him know that he was leaving Beijing, they would secretly cause trouble for him, or

Blocking the road, or setting up a trap to deceive people, Li Shen still took the opportunity of his own visit to Qiaoling to take him out of the city. After all, Li Shen is the grandson of the clan, and he will not provoke others.

I won't easily get into trouble with him.

However, Li Shen's trip was deliberately to create momentum. When he rode out of Beijing, he did not avoid people. Many people saw Lin Jiulang in the team, and it was not difficult to guess that he would follow him to Fengxian County.

Lin Jiulang was originally a simple servant with a light carriage, and he only brought two followers, one was A Chui, and the other was a highly skilled guard named Lin Yue. The three of them followed Li Shen's team all the way to Fengxian County.

Li Shen thought it was still early, so he wanted to take a look at the tomb of old King Zou in the Qiaoling Mausoleum, and pay homage to his two great-grandmothers along the way. He was a descendant of the clan who entered the imperial mausoleum, and Lin Jiulang considered himself an outsider, so it was not convenient for him to enter with him.

Lin Jiulang was waiting for him outside the cemetery. After waiting for a long time, Lin Jiulang was a little impatient. He felt that the surrounding scenery was good, so he wanted to ride his horse and look around. It happened that there was another cousin of the Lin family who was on duty near the cemetery, so he asked the two

An entourage went over to say hello and took the letters and items entrusted to him by the elders in the family to his cousin.

Neither Lin Yue nor Ah Chui thought there was any problem with Lin Jiulang going to enjoy the scenery alone at that time. At that time, the sun was just west, the sky was still very bright, there were no people around, and the field of view was very broad. Lin Jiulang was in good health.

The young man is a strong and agile young man who has practiced riding and shooting since he was a child. He also carries swords, bows and arrows with him, and rides a good horse. On the grounds of the Royal Cemetery, it is impossible for any robbers to appear. Who will do anything against him?

However, Lin Jiulang disappeared as soon as he left. Lin Yue and A Chui were a little anxious when they saw Lin Jiulang's cousin coming back, but they still didn't see Lin Jiulang. When Li Shen and his party came out of the cemetery, they learned the news of Lin Jiulang's disappearance.

He was worried that the children of the powerful people in the capital who had a grudge against him would send people to catch him up to seek bad luck. Although the Qiaoling area has a wide view, various ditches and mud pits are not uncommon, and empty tombs can also hide people.

Kuro fell into a pit and couldn't shout for help. Waiting for the temperature to drop sharply at night... That's no joke. If your luck is even worse, you will encounter some snakes, insects and beasts...

Li Shen just considered various possibilities, but Lin Yue and A Chui were sweating just by thinking about the dangers that their little master might encounter. Li Shen thought that he had taken Lin Jiulang out of the house.

She had the responsibility to protect him, so she decided to lead people to search for him personally, refusing to leave even if it was almost dark. Lin Yue went to ask his cousin of the Lin family for help. A Chui heard that the fourth lady of the Sui Dynasty was staying in Fengxian County.

After settling in the store, I remembered the close relationship between the two families, so I came to borrow someone with the steward of Prince Zou's Mansion.

After dark, they couldn't see anything in the Qiaoling area, so they had to find the person before it got completely dark.

Li Lijun had secretly used the system to direct the drone to fly into the sky from the back window, looking down at the ground from a high altitude in the Qiaoling area, looking for suspicious figures. However, in order to pass on the results of the drone search, she decided to go to Qiaoling in person.
