Chapter 273 Stone Nunnery

Su Qing ordered someone to search, and found that Xiao Tuo had gone somewhere.

Asked Xiao Tuo's servant, he said that before Xiao Tuo disappeared, Xia Zian had come to look for him.

Su Qing felt that the matter was a bit serious. Doesn't this mean that Zian and Xiao Tuo disappeared together?

Either something happened, or the two of them wandered off somewhere.

But is it possible?

In order not to alarm Murong Jie, Su Qing sent people to search around the middle of Beijing, and then ordered people to look outside the city, even went to the small courtyard in the suburbs of Beijing, but did not see Zian and Xiao Tuo.

As a last resort, Su Qing had to go to find Chen Liuliu, but Chen Liuliu said that he had never seen Zi'an.

I went to look for Zhuang Zhuang again. Zhuang Zhuang lived in seclusion recently, thanking guests behind closed doors, and Zian never came.

Hearing Su Qing say that Zian and Xiao Tuo were both missing, she also became worried, "Have you searched everything?"

"I searched all over, I searched all day today, but I didn't find the two of them."

Zhuang Zhuang frowned, "Then where can she go if she is not in the epidemic area? She has issued a military order. Also, didn't the prince go to the epidemic area to see it? Did he see Zi'an?"

"I didn't see it. When Rou Yao said that the prince came, Zi'an just left." Su Qing said.

Zhuang Zhuang stood up with a dignified look on his face, "This is difficult. This happened two or three days ago, right? There is no movement from Mr. Liang's side?"

"It happened two or three days ago. Mr. Liang didn't say anything, and he didn't send anyone in."

"That's because someone in the epidemic area must have told him about Zi'an's every word and deed. Su Qing, Zi'an's disappearance at this time is not a good thing, and they will definitely make a big fuss about it."

Su Qing nodded and sighed, "I know, the prince doesn't know about this yet."

"Go and tell the lord right away that I'm going to the epidemic area." Zhuang Zhuang immediately ordered people to prepare the carriage.

"It's useless for you to go to the epidemic area. It's better to go to the palace to find the Empress Dowager, to prepare her mentally, and to say a few words for them." Su Qing said.

Zhuang Zhuang shook his head, "No, it's useless to say anything in the palace now, Zi'an has issued a military order, and counting the days, it will expire in five or six days, the empress dowager has been anxiously waiting for news, if at this time Tell her that Zi'an is missing, she will definitely think that Zi'an has escaped, and if Mr. Liang wants to cause a big incident, he will definitely send someone into the epidemic area to check, and Ben Gong is over there, so I can stop it."

It makes sense for Su Qing to think about it. If Master Liang wants to make a big fuss about Zi'an's escape, he must find a neutral person to go to the epidemic area so that people can see with their own eyes that Xia Zi'an is not in the epidemic area before he can make it public in the morning. .

"Alright, I'll go find the prince first, and I don't know if Xiao Tuo is with Zi'an."

After Su Qing finished speaking, she turned around and left.

Zhuang Zhuang went back to the room to change clothes, Hong Hua said softly: "Princess, don't you not go out these days?"

Zhuang Zhuang said indifferently: "I won't go out, it's not that I can't go out."

Moreover, it may not be possible to see him.

See, so what? It's in the past!

It's been three years, I haven't seen him for three years, but it's more than three years? When he came back three years ago, she didn't see him, but when he left Beijing, she stood on the gate tower and watched him gallop away.

Only seeing a back, a back, can't warm up the three cold years.

After shaking her head, she strode out, there was nothing she couldn't forget, unless she didn't want to.

Su Qing went to find Murong Jie, but Murong Jie was not there, he just got the news that there was something unusual in Shitouan, so he went in person.

Shitou Nunnery is located on the mountain to the north of Shitou Village. The mountain is not high, but there are many rocks, so there is not much vegetation. It is almost impossible to hide here, unless it is in a nunnery.

There are only two nuns in this nunnery, and the incense is not very prosperous on weekdays. In the past, not many people in the stone village went to offer incense, but they all went to the Dragon Mother Temple to the west of the stone village.

Therefore, Shitou Nunnery did not attract much attention. Zi'an also walked to the foot of Shitou Nunnery that day, and saw a nun coming back with firewood on her back. She also asked questions, but she couldn't ask anything. Isolated, ignorant of worldly affairs, if she visits the Buddha, she can enter, if not, let her go.

Zian was not suspicious at the time, because the stone nunnery was too simple to hide so many people from the outside.

Murong Jie brought people outside the stone nunnery, and looked at the terrain here.

The guard stepped forward and said: "My lord, ever since I got the order from my lord to monitor the surroundings of Shitou Village, I have been paying attention to this nunnery, because there is almost no place to hide near here, only this nunnery, just in the middle of last night, my minister When I went out to inspect, I saw someone sneaking in at the back door of the nunnery, there were about seven or eight people."

"Seven or eight people?" Murong Jie pondered for a moment, and the number of people mentioned by Zi'an was almost the same. Among the seven or eight people, there should be two or three people who brought them here.

"Have you gone in to check?" Murong Jie asked.

"Not yet, wait until you report back to the prince." The guard said, "I'm afraid that we will startle the snake."

Murong Jie said: "I won't go in anymore, you go in and look around."

The guard took the order and led people in with his hands.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the guard brought someone out, and said with some disappointment, "My lord, I didn't find anything."

Murong Jie seemed to have known for a long time that he would return in vain, and said: "Order people to closely monitor this stone nunnery, and report any disturbances."

"My lord, but I didn't find it here." The guard seemed puzzled, "It's really strange, since someone went in last night, I have been ordering people to watch, and I didn't see anyone coming out."

Murong Jie rolled his lips and sneered, "You can see the bottom of the stone hut at a glance. If you want to hide so many people, you must be in a secret room. The secret room is located underground. It will take us a lot of effort to find it, and we may not be able to find it. This wild place in the mountains Once there is a secret room in the temple, the bottom must be criss-crossed. If there are zombie patients inside, if we rush in, even if we can catch them all, we will definitely lose seven points. Now you go in and search around, they You know that this place has already attracted attention, and you will move the location.”

The guard suddenly realized, "So it is."

Murong Jie ordered: "After this king leaves, you start to evacuate the troops half an hour ago, so that they will mistakenly think that you have left, and you should move to change positions tonight."

"However, if there are secret rooms and tunnels, they will withdraw from the ground."

Murong Jie glanced at him, "This mountain is nothing more than the four directions of southeast, northwest, and the east is Shitou Village. They will not go this way, because there are people guarding it, and the south is a stream. There is no way to leave, so, only the north and west are left, you send more people and deploy tight defenses, once you find whereabouts, act immediately, it is better to do it in the wild than in the secret room."

The guard took the order, "Yes, I obey!"

Murong Jie gently closed his eyes, smelling the scent blowing in the wind.

There are a few camphor trees in the north here, and the aroma of the camphor trees is strong, so it covers the occasional smell of rotting corpses in the air.

The stench from Shitou Village cannot come here, so it must be coming from around here.

His sense of smell is sharper than others, and he can smell many smells that others cannot smell.

That's why he didn't go into Shitou Nunnery today, but wanted to come over.

He was certain that this stone nunnery was the place where zombie patients were kept.
