MTL - After the Fairy Disappeared-Chapter 524 Hunting from fiction to reality

  Chapter 524 The hunt from fiction to reality

   After an unknown amount of time, He Lingchuan suddenly felt something and opened his eyes.

  Nightmare came back silently, and was floating around him, not sure if he was staring at him.

  He Lingchuan never wanted to take this thing lightly. He said calmly, "Have you found a clue?"

   "See for yourself."

   After saying that, the nightmare turned into a puff of smoke. After the mist slowly dissipated, a picture appeared in the middle.

  First the blue sky, then the distant mountains, as clear as a slide.

  The picture changed again, a wide road with several carriages in front.

  At this time, a female voice joined in:

   "Kang Er, don't poke your head, be careful that someone hits you!" Then the vision was drawn into a carriage, and a young woman in plain clothes was sitting opposite her.

  He Lingchuan knew that what Mengmao showed him was a scene from Wu Kai's grandson's memory, maybe it was what he saw during the day.

  The so-called day sees, night dreams.

  The woman said again: "Don't make noise! ​​As long as you go to the place, grandpa will buy you delicious food."

place? Where?

  The mountain in the background of the picture just now seems to be in the north of the city, but it is not true north from the perspective.

   As soon as the screen changed, everyone got out of the car.

  It was already evening, the sun had set but night had not yet come, the surrounding area was wasteland, the weeds on the side of the road were lush, and the reeds were taller than adults. He Lingchuan heard the sound of water.

  The groom walked in front holding the lantern, and the mother and son followed behind.

  After walking a dozen steps, an old man greeted him in front of him, with half-black hair and drooping eyes.

  Wu Kai!

   This is the target of the officers and soldiers of Bancheng. After Zhongsun Mou was killed, he immediately ordered someone to take his grandson out of the city, and escaped the capture of Fu Shanyue and Cen Boqing successively.

  He himself escaped during the siege of Cen Mansion by Lu Dutong, and his family reunited at the wilderness ferry.

  Wu Kai held his grandson in his arms, and said a few words of comfort.

  The four of them actually came to a ferry.

   Baisha has a lot of water, there are lakes, swamps and rivers. This is the middle part of the river bend, the wind is light, twenty or thirty fishing boats are moored here, and there is light in the cabin.

  The fishermen live and board on board.

  The strong guy went to the side of the boat to ask, and after only asking two boats, he found a boat owner who was willing to carry passengers.

  Silver is a good thing.

  When the screen reaches this point, it turns back to gray mist.

   "It's gone, I only found so much." Meng Meng expressed helplessness, "The child's head is empty, and there is not much to put in it."

  It is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.

  He Lingchuan pointed to the Juluo branch: "Okay, let's go in."

  Grey smoke circled the house twice, full of displeasure.

   But the thin arms couldn't hold back the thighs, so it had to get in in the end.

  Strictly speaking, the Juluo branch is not a place for it to live in, but a fast passage for entering and exiting the ancient city of Panlong and reality.

   "Either let me go, or find me a place to live. Hurry up! Otherwise, I won't be able to return to reality and I won't be able to help you." Nightmare disappeared after finishing speaking.

  He Lingchuan immediately went to knock on Fu Shanyue's door.

   There was a bang, and the guard at the door stopped him: "Wait for us to pass in..."

   "What's the matter?" A breeze passed by, and Fu Shanyue jumped out by himself, still wearing the usual clothes in the afternoon, with meticulous hair.

   This guy didn't take a break either.

   "I found Wu Kai's whereabouts." He Lingchuan didn't go around in circles, and cut straight to the point, "After dark, he boarded a boat at the river bend outside the city."

   "Why are you..." Fu Shanyue was startled, but then said, "Reliable?"

   "It's like seeing it in person."

   "Then what are you waiting for, let's go!" He knew that He Lingchuan had two brushes.

   "Slow!" He Lingchuan stretched out his arms to block him, "You can't go, otherwise, what if Cen Boqing takes the opportunity to escape?"

  If Fushan leaves the city more and more, and Cen Boqing gathers to break through like last time, who would dare to really step forward to stop it?

  Can they count on Lu Dutong, or Tian County Magistrate?

  Before he was convicted, Cen Boqing was still the superior of Lingxu City.

  After he reminded him, Fu Shanyue quickly calmed down: "Okay, I'll keep an eye on him. The task of recovering Wu Kai is entrusted to you. Be sure—"

  He said every word: "Be sure to catch him back!"

  He Lingchuan nodded.

  Now he and Fu Shanyue are on the same line. If Wu Kai cannot be captured and convicted, Cen Boqing and even Da Sinong will surely fight back afterwards.

   Without further ado, He Lingchuan went out in the middle of the night. Fu Shanyue sent him dozens of soldiers and horses to follow, and an **** surnamed Lu followed.

  The so-called **** is actually a tour guide. There are tourist attractions everywhere in Baisha, and there are many wealthy customers, so the business of **** tour guides has been born. From board and lodging, carriages, and sightseeing, the escorts can meet all the requirements of the guests anyway.

   This person surnamed Lu was found by the county magistrate Tian for the prince during the day, and he said that he knew the entire county well.

  He also knew where the river bend was, so Fu Shanyue ordered him to follow He Lingchuan.

  Dozens of horses hooved rumbling, galloping on the deserted streets, disturbing people's dreams in the middle of the night.

  There is only one big river in the north of the city, which winds along the mountain and the terrain on both sides is gentle.

   But if the ferry is very close to the dock, then only Xiahewan is the only way.

   "The target is already on board, where will it go?"

   Lu Buyou said: "Then it will naturally go down the river. It will save effort and the boat will go faster."

   "Will you go upstream and go upstream?"

   "The upper reaches are all wild forests, and there are only people living up to a hundred miles. It's tiring to walk there." Lu Buyou shook his head, "The ferry boats there basically walk along the water. There has been no wind these few nights, so they can't go fast."

  He Lingchuan was worried: "Will you go ashore halfway?"

   "That's possible, but it's safe and easy to go along the water, and it's not easy to be intercepted." Lu escorts grinned, "Usually they also transport some private goods along the water...uh!"

  He has a habit of bragging when he meets customers, and he doesn't think about it, but when he said it, he remembered that the master in front of him was not an ordinary person!

  What nonsense about smuggling did he say in front of the special envoy of the prince?

  He Lingchuan didn't move his eyebrows, too lazy to argue with him. Escort Lu hurriedly said: "Do you need to charter a boat, Mr. Special Envoy? I have a way to find the fastest and best boat!"

"Need not."

  Thanks to his familiarity, he took the shortest way out of the city. The situation in Yeluzi is not as smooth as the official road, and it is inevitable to bump into bumps and bumps when walking at night, but **** Lu can remember every ditch and every hurdle ahead, so that everyone can keep moving fast in the dark.

  He is so proficient in business that even He Lingchuan boasted: "You are a good leader."

  Escort Lu suddenly smiled.

   He was praised by the special envoy of the prince, he will be stable for the rest of his life.

  Wild grass and desolate wild roads come to an end, which is Xiahe Bend.

  In the early years of Baishayu, both fishing and passenger traffic used to go here, but after the repair of the upper bay, the transport capacity was moved there, and the ferry of the lower river bay was deserted, and only passenger traffic went here.

  When He Lingchuan arrived with his group, it was already dark, and only two fishing fires were still lit.

  The guard asked him: "My lord, how many ships shall we divide into?"

  He Lingchuan ignored it, and instead asked Escort Lu: "What kind of river is this?"

   "Liu River." Lu Banyou smiled, "Someone panned for gold in the river in the early years, so everyone named it this."

  The night was dark and the opposite bank could not be seen, and the river bend was still flowing, and everyone could only hear the waves crashing on the shore occasionally.

  Wu Kai's family had already boarded the boat in the evening, and they were going down the river again, many steps ahead of them. Is there still time to catch up?

   More than one person has this question.

   But He Lingchuan obviously didn't intend to explain to them properly, but just grabbed a token in the shape of a black cloud from his arms, and handed it to the following servants: "You come."

  The brand began to glow when held in the hand of the servant, with gold in the red, shining brightly.

   Except when he was marching in Panlong City, it was the first time that He Lingchuan saw such abundant energy. Undoubtedly, this is one of Fu Shanyue's status symbols as the future monarch.

   Immediately afterwards, the waiter squatted down, pressed the sign in the river and stirred it, and at the same time yelled:

   "Liuhe Shuiling, hurry up and see you!"

  The others suddenly realized that He Lingchuan had this idea. But he used Fu Shanyue's token to summon the water spirit, which was not as troublesome as Sun Fuping, the national teacher of the Yuan Kingdom, and the magistrate of Kuzhu County, who required various methods to summon the local mountain and water spirit.

  Probably because this is a demon country, the mountains and rivers are more diligent than those in other countries, and they dare not slack off?

  After the waiter stood up, the water waves that had been stirred up just now not only did not stop, but became more and more choppy.

  The originally quiet Xiahe Bend unexpectedly presented a wonderful scene of no wind and waves.

  The fishing boats resting in the bay were inevitably affected, and the sleeping fishermen were all awakened by the shaking, and they got up one after another to check.

   Soon some boat people shouted:

   "Shui Ling, Shui Ling is here!"

The fishing fire was turned on again, so He Lingchuan saw thirteen or four figures rapidly approaching the shore under the surface of the water illuminated by the light. The longest figure was less than two feet long, and the shortest was only six feet long. Not on the number.

   But as fast as a torpedo.

  The body shape is also... pretty similar.

  Before he had time to think about it, he heard a splash, and splashes exploded from the surface of the river at the ferry. These figures actually jumped out, twirled in mid-air, and entered the water again.

   Can actually press water.

  Of course everyone also saw the true face of Shui Ling:

  Round head, round brain wine bottle nose, silver gray streamlined body.

   Isn’t this the finless porpoise?

   The finless porpoise headed by it is half the size of the others, and its skin is gray and blue. As soon as it poked its head out of the water, a soft female voice sounded in the hearts of everyone: "The Liuhe Aquarium is willing to serve the prince!"

   "I am the special envoy of the prince." He Lingchuan couldn't help reaching out to touch its long nose, and said in a slippery way, "The felon is on the run by boat. Go down the river from here. Help me find it."

   "I would like to ask the special envoy of the prince to show you, how many people are guilty of the crime, what are their characteristics, and what ship are they on?"

He Lingchuan pointed to the boat at the lower river bay: "Two men and a woman, plus a seven-year-old boy. The boat was hired from here. The light on the boat was beige, with the word Liu written on it, and there was a big gap on the left side of the boat. The top of the boat was patched with blue and white rags."

   This is the picture in the memory of Wu Kai's grandson. The child looked at the hull of the ship curiously, and He Lingchuan noticed it.

  He has already explained the most important hull features clearly, Shui Ling nodded: "Let's do it now. I have a lot of people in the river, so I don't think it will be difficult to find it."
