sick!Seedlings?

Shangguan Chen sat on the bed wearing only his underwear, with a shocked expression on his face.Dongfang Yinqi moved lightly, with one hand still ambiguously attached to Shangguan Chen's face.

After Mo Lian looked at it, his face immediately darkened, and he turned his head and told the group of people behind him in a deep voice: "You go out first."

Seeing that his lord was fine, Qin Gu obediently retreated out.Dongfang Yinqi gave his servant a look, and the servant retreated out knowingly and closed the door tightly.

There were only the three of them left in the room, no one spoke, and the whole room suddenly became a little silent, with a sense of depression and a sense of tension.

During the few hours of rest in Xiangfu, Shangguan Chen's strength also recovered a lot.Seeing that the momentum was not right, he quickly got up and got out of bed, moved to Mo Lian and respectfully said "Your Majesty".

Mo Lian pulled Shangguan Chen behind him without saying a word, he looked at Dongfang Yinqi calmly, but the corner of his mouth was raised: "Xiangguo, the assistant minister is not feeling well, I will take him back home first. "

Only then did Dongfang Yinqi stand up, and glanced at Shangguan Chen behind Mo Lian, the emotion in his eyes was unclear: "Master Shangguan is weak, if he is willing, I don't mind letting him stay in the prime minister's mansion for a while. stay."

"No need." After saying that, Shangguan Chen turned to the side and made a gesture of asking, "Your Majesty, please."

After walking out of the room for a few steps, the servant of the Xiangfu chased after him, holding a piece of clothing in his hand: "Master Shangguan, please send your clothes here." Lian saluted respectfully, "Respectfully send off Your Majesty."

Mo Lian flicked his sleeves and left without saying anything.

On the way back home, the carriage was very quiet.

Shangguan Chen just thought that His Majesty was tired and didn't take it to heart, he sat quietly by the side with his eyes closed.

After a long time, the carriage stopped outside Shangguanchen's mansion. Shangguanchen turned around and saluted Mo Lian: "Your Majesty, I'm going back first."

Mo Lian called Shangguan Chen back with a complicated expression: "Dongfang Yin, others..." Wen Run's eyebrows were tangled together, Mo Lian took a deep breath, and asked the question that he had been holding back all the way, "He... didn't say yes What are you doing...too much?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, nothing happened." Shangguan Chen's tone was indifferent, with a firm light shining in his eyes, "I will always stand by Your Majesty's side and do my best to protect this country for Your Majesty."

Feeling inexplicably moved in my heart, Mo Lian couldn't help but leaned forward: "Zi An is serious?"

Shangguan Chen raised his eyes, and there was a moist smile in his clear eyes: "Naturally."

The brows slowly relaxed like ripples, and the hand that was tightly clenched into a fist because of the worry just now finally let go, and finally put on a gentle smile: "Okay, I believe you."

Three days later, Shangguan Chen set off for Dayuan Mountain with a group of officers and soldiers.

Dayuan Mountain is located to the west of the imperial palace. Dayuan Mountain is surrounded by water. On the mountain, there is a village named Xiaoshun Village with green hills and green grass.

Recently, people from Xiaoshun Village have been missing frequently, and the people sent by Xiaoshun Village to look for them have found nothing.The villagers saw that the situation was critical, so they managed to pass the situation here to the officials in Kyoto.

Dozens of boats floated mightily from one side of the river to the other. As soon as the boats docked, many villagers surrounded them.

A carriage slowly drove out of the boat, and Shangguan Chen was sitting in the carriage.Hearing movement outside the carriage, he opened the curtain to look around, only to find that it was the head of Xiaoshun Village who brought the villagers to welcome him.

Shangguan Chen got out of the carriage and walked in front of the villagers.

The villagers gathered together, and there stood a beautiful young woman in the middle. Judging from her appearance, she seemed to be in the prime of life.

An elderly villager bowed to Shangguanchen and introduced to Shangguanchen: "My lord, this is a villager from our Xiaoshun Village."

Before coming here, he knew that the head of Xiaoshun Village was a woman, but Shangguan Chen never expected that the head of the village would be such a gentle young woman.

Village head Li Lianzhi has ruddy skin and quiet eyes, and a coarse linen dress can't hide the woman's demure and jade-like appearance.

"Grassmen pay homage to Lord Shangguan!" Li Lianzhi knelt down neatly, with a leadership demeanor.Seeing the village chief kneel down, the villagers also knelt down, "Greetings, Mr. Shangguan!"

From this point of view, the village head's reputation in the village is not bad.

"Everyone, please stand up." Shangguan Chen said that he was going to help the village chief. Li Lianzhi seemed to be unintentional and prepared, she took a step back and stood up: "Thank you, sir."

She is a woman who knows etiquette, so it seems that he is abrupt, Shangguan Chen smiled slightly and took his hand back.

After lunch, Li Lianzhi explained to Shangguan Chen about the disappearance of the villagers in the lower village and then went back.

The specific situation is like this. In Xiaoshun Village, a total of more than a dozen people have disappeared one after another in the past six months, and all the missing people are men.

Some people say that it is the fox demon who is acting as a monster, and the man keeps disappearing. I am afraid that the fox demon is practicing some method of absorbing yang and nourishing yin, otherwise why is it only the man who disappeared?

Fox demon?

Shangguan Chen's slender fingers tapped rhythmically on the table, and suddenly a smile appeared between his lips and teeth, that smile looked plain but actually contained some suspicion: "Is it a fox demon?"

In the evening, Shangguanchen changed into the coarse clothes of ordinary people and went out.

The sky is still bright with dust, and there are very few villagers active in the village.

Shangguanchen thought to himself that the villagers were worried about the rumors that the fox was a monster, and they were afraid that they would be caught by the fox to warm their bellies when they came out at night.

"It's strange to say, why is such a good-looking girl from our village chief always alone? Why don't you find a good man to marry?"

"It's true, the village head is a flower in our village that everyone recognizes. Why can't the village head have such a good condition? I don't understand."

"Hey, I heard that the earth egg that disappeared two days ago went to the village chief before he disappeared. It seems that he said... to ask for some medicine."

"The village head knows medicine, so it's normal to ask for medicine."

It turns out that the village head is also good at medicine?

The village chief is capable and skilled in medicine, so staying in this filial village can be regarded as a blessing to the villagers.

The backs of the two villagers gradually moved away, and Shangguanchen continued to walk forward.

"Ah..." After a long yawn, Zhen Zhen walked out stretching her waist.He raised his lazy eyelids, his eyes were still a little sleepy: "Master, how are you doing recently, is everything going well?"

"Really?" Shangguan Chen gave Zhenzhen a blank look, "I haven't seen you for so long, I thought you passed away?"

Zhen Zhen smiled with a shy face: "Master, I am so cute, how can I be willing to pass away when the flowers bloom? It's just that recently, other masters who are doing tasks have called me one after another. It's not like I'm busy all of a sudden. Are you coming?"

Shangguan Chen raised his eyebrows: "Stop talking nonsense and talk about business."

Clearing his throat, he said seriously: "Master, your task is to help Mo Lian consolidate the throne, and every time you accomplish something that is beneficial to Mo Lian, you will be rewarded. You should frame Dongfang Yinqi from time to time or just look for opportunities Just click him off, why hasn't there been any substantial progress for so long?"

The truth is, he has been negligent recently, where is the reward for not doing the mission?Wouldn't he have to starve to death in 2085 without a reward?

Shangguan Chen nodded in agreement: "You're right, it's time to do something. Don't worry, I'll start preparing when I return to Kyoto."

Zhenzhen nodded, turned around and left, Shangguanchen quickly stopped him: "True!"

"What else does the master want?"

Shangguan Chen smiled to please her, and a sea of ​​stars and clouds seemed to flash out of her beautiful eyes: "Do you know the inside story about Xiaoshun Village?"

Zhenzhen retracted her neck reflexively, with a look of defense on her face: "Master, don't hurt me. I know I know, but according to the rules, I can't say anything about it."

Hearing this, Shangguanchen felt that there was a way to take a shortcut, and continued to insist: "You don't have to say it, I just ask you to nod or shake your head." Without giving a chance to really respond, Shangguanchen asked directly, "This matter is the village chief's responsibility. Did you do it?"

Zhen Zhen subconsciously shook his head, then he suddenly widened his eyes, pointed at Shangguan Chen's aggrieved face: "Master, you tricked me?! You've said it all, you can't say it!" After finishing speaking, he covered his head and fled at a speed of light.

While running away, Zhenzhen thought sadly.Come on, this month's bonus is about to go to waste again.

Shangguanchen smiled smugly. It has nothing to do with the village chief, so...who could it be?

Could it be that there is something evil?

"Ahem!" After standing in the night for a long time, when the cool wind blew, Shangguan Chen couldn't help coughing when his throat was irritated.

Sweat dripped down his white chin and quickly seeped into the ground, and one of them quickly handed over a cloak: "This, my lord, put it on."

Shangguan Chen raised his head, it was the guard who followed him.

For this trip, Molian sent a team of officers and soldiers to Shangguanchen.Shangguan Chen insisted on not bringing anyone close to him to Xiaoshun Village alone with this team of officers and soldiers. For this reason, Qin Gu had a big fight with him, saying that Shangguan Chen didn't care about his body.

In fact, Shangguan Chen had selfish motives in not bringing anyone close to him.

The strange incident in Xiaoshun Village was a bit strange, even Shangguanchen himself didn't know what to do, he didn't bring them here just because he was afraid that they would get hurt.

Taking the cloak from the guard's hand, Shangguan Chen gave the man a grateful smile: "Thank you, by the way, what's your name?"

"My lord, Ding Chuan, the next official, is the palace guard who is in charge of leading this team of officers and soldiers." Ding Chuan looked up at the sky, with a worried look on his face: "My lord, it's getting late, my next official will take you back. .”

The sky was indeed quite dark, and it was useless to stay by yourself if no one came out to do activities at night. After thinking about it, Shangguan Chen nodded: "Okay."

The next day, before dawn, Shangguan Chen was awakened by the noise in the yard.

An officer and soldier hurried in, followed by the panic-stricken villagers and the village chief: "My lord, someone is missing again!"

"what?!"

Early in the morning, the officers and soldiers also felt that this unlucky incident was not good, with a wrinkled face: "I heard from the villagers that the missing person this time is called Zhang Xiaodao."

Although he thought it was impossible, Shangguan Chen asked casually, "Where was the last place this knife went before it disappeared?"

The villagers all shook their heads after thinking about it, Shangguan Chen's heart sank, and he led a group of officers and soldiers out the door.

The carriage hadn't gone far, and faint shouts came intermittently through the curtain of the carriage not far away: "My lord, my lord..."

Shangguanchen lifted the curtain of the car, and a villager came forward with a huff: "My lord, my lord! The grassroots have something to say!"

"Say."

The villagers looked back, left, and right, a little cautiously, as if they were afraid of being heard by others: "I just guarded the village chief, and there are some things that are hard to say. In fact... Zhang Xiaodao went to one place besides his home before he disappeared."

Shangguan Chen raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Where?"

The villagers covered their mouths with their hands, lowered their voices and followed Shangguan Chen: "The village chief, get the medicine."

Shangguan Chen's brows frowned, and then stretched out again, like a white plum blossom just blooming in winter, dazzlingly beautiful: "Got it, let's go down."

I have never realized that this Shangguan lord looks so good-looking up close. The villagers were so dazed that they forgot to answer.Ding Chuan at the side glanced at him, and disrupted the villagers' thoughts with a low shout: "My lord understands, you can step back."

Realizing that his current behavior was a little out of bounds, the villagers looked away in a panic, and stepped back in response, but there was still a strong layer of nostalgia in their eyes.

Shangguan Chen looked sideways, the person who spoke just now was the guard who handed him the cloak yesterday, and asked casually: "Do you think the village chief is suspicious?"

The guard saluted, with a very respectful expression on his face: "According to my subordinate's humble opinion, it's safer to go and find out if there is any problem in person."

"That's right." Shangguan Chen turned his head slowly, and told the coachman, "Go to the village chief's house."

The author has something to say: I have something to do today, so I have to update today's before the early morning.
