Chapter 25 something is wrong

After seven or eight days, the three finally arrived in Yancheng.

Located in the waterstream of Huan, Yancheng is a city with a moderate scale and the characteristics of a typical gentle water town in the south of the Yangtze River. It is rich and prosperous, with canals and horizontal channels. Boats are a very common means of transportation here.

The rudder of Lingyun Gang is located in the western suburbs of Yancheng, across the river from the main body of the city, surrounded by mountains and rivers. The geographical conditions are excellent, and the environment is also extremely beautiful. The rockery is stacked, the shade is deep, the flowers are blooming, and the spring is full of spring. Walking in it is like being in a garden garden. All kinds of crescent doors and tempased doors separate the beautiful scenery, guiding people into another water and moon cave sky. The corridor built above the pool is winding, and the pavilions are graceful, and the water is full of reflections.

The Lingyun Gang is indeed a big gang in the world. The layout of the rudder is so elegant, and the graceful and majestic in the show is magnificent. Su Siman only thinks that it is beautiful and the environment is unspeakable, but Yuan Si Niang sees that the layout here seems to be exquisite and elegant. In fact, there is a hidden mystery, the design is really exquisite, ingenious, the layout is compact, and the light and dark are intertwined. If there is a foreign enemy trying to break in, it is not easy. Even if you are lucky enough to enter the gate, the garden is full of hidden weapons, and I'm afraid that you can only go in and out.

The designer is by no means idle. Yuan Si Niang walked in the garden and couldn't help admiring secretly in her heart.

If someone hadn't led the way, Su Siman doubted that he could not get out of this garden-style courtyard at all. Bixi followed her closely, glanced around from time to time, and opened her mouth slightly.

Because Su Siman said that she was a friend of Gao Yunqing, the leading gangs were quite polite and enthusiastic about her. Yuan Si Niang didn't show her identity, but let Su Siman pick up a bargain and get VIP-like treatment.

Walking through the long corridor with twists and turns, Su Siman greedily looked at the surrounding scenery. Looking at the pool shining with golden waves under her feet in the sunlight, it was even more beautiful. She couldn't help praising sincerely: "It's so beautiful here!"

The gray-robed young man leading the way but smiled and said no words. Obviously, he was also quite proud of this place. When he got to the corner, he made a request with one hand and pointed to the building with only green tiles in the green shade not far away and said, "It's right ahead, please--"

Su Siman was a little nervous at this time and asked, "Brother Gao, are you free to see us now?"

"I'm afraid I'm not free at this time. The master is calling the deputy master, the two leaders and five elders for a meeting. Please ask Miss Su to wait in the room for a moment. When the meeting is over, I will report the visit of the host girl immediately.

"Thank you very much."

As he spoke, he arrived at the courtyard of the green tile and white wall. Su Siman arrived at the door and found that his party entered from the main door, but they arrived at another courtyard.

When he got to the room, the young man made good tea for the three of them and exchanged a few words before leaving.

Su Siman only felt that everything was novel and didn't have time to drink tea. He opened the window and looked out. At this sight, the building was half located on the land, and half hung on the water like a hanging foot building. Su Siman was surprised to find that there was a natural lake downstairs. The lake was green, and the breeze set off sparkling waves. The water in the ponds he had just seen was probably from this. At this time, there was a boat that could accommodate about ten people in the middle of the lake. The man with the bow rowed the oars leisurely. The person who wanted to come to the boat did not want to destroy the gentleness of the lake. There are also many buildings on the other side of the lake, one of which stands abruptly from many buildings, which is particularly eye-catching and magnificent. It is probably the main altar of the Lingyun Gang.

"Miss, you have been working hard for days. You can also take a break." The tourmaline also got up from the chair and came over.

"Looking at the beautiful scenery in front of me, I don't feel tired. I didn't expect this place to be so beautiful. Brother Gao actually left here and settled in that shabby place. It's really a violent thing. Su Siman held his cheek and leaned half of his body out of the window, pointing to the ship with a longing look on his face, "I also want to go boating."

"Miss, be careful! Don't fall into the water. It's quite cold at this time. If you fall into the water, you will definitely catch a cold and get sick. With a worried face, Bixi reached out to pull the lady's shoulder.

"Don't worry, it won't fall." Su Siman remained motionless and turned to the tourmaline with a smile, "Come and have a look. This lake is not an artificial lake. It's so beautiful!"

Bixi nodded and said yes, but he couldn't help pulling Su Siman away from the window lattice.

Compared with Su Siman's excitement and joy, Yuan Si Niang looked very calm. She only sat and drank tea and did not join the fun. Her face was slightly dark and seemed to be thinking about something.

A simple boat appeared on the lake and flew towards the big boat in the middle of the lake.

"What are you thinking about? The scenery outside is good. Why don't you come and have a look?" Su Siman suddenly turned his head and said to Yuan Si Niang.

"Little girl, you are in good spirits." Yuan Siniang shook her head, raised a cup of tea and took a sip of tea.

"Well, why didn't Brother Gao come? We've been waiting for a long time. I'm a little hungry." Su Siman wrapped his clothes, came back from the window happily, sat back in his seat, and picked up a cup and poured a big sip of tea.

As soon as Su Siman's words fell, a little maid with a blue bun and a long and short coat came in.

The little maid bowed and finally bent her knees to Su Siman: "Please come to Wenfang Pavilion for dinner."

"Where is Wen Fangge? Is it far away?"

"It's not far, please come." The little maid's voice is like a crisp bell, which is very beautiful.

"That's good. Let's go." Susman is not polite.

Through the side courtyard and corridor, we arrived at the Wenfang Pavilion in the mouth of the maidservant. This yard is all on the land, a little farther away from the lake, but you can also see the scenery on the lake, which is quite warm. The pavilion was warm and fragrant, and the wind was pleasant. As soon as the three sat down, the little maid stroked her palms three times. Suddenly, a maid with her hand raised on the top and entered with all kinds of dishes. In an instant, the table was already dazzling and the dishes were fragrant.

When eating, there are always maids and dishes, and the service is very thoughtful.

This meal was really enjoyable, which made Su Siman sigh even more. Gao Yunqing let go of this fairy-like day, but his true realm is high!

After dinner, the little maid asked them for advice on whether to stay in Wenfang Pavilion or go back to Xiangjuxie just now. Su Siman thought about it and still went back the same way.

After waiting for a while, Gao Yunqing didn't come. Su Siman couldn't sit still and staed around the room: "Why didn't Brother Gao come yet? Isn't that person not going to report it?"

"Something may have happened in their help." Yuan Si Niang said.

"How can I see it?" Su Siman stopped and looked at Yuan Si Niang with some surprise.

"Didn't you hear that the man just said that Gao was having a meeting with his men?"

"Meeting doesn't mean anything. Maybe it's just a regular meeting or something." Su Siman argued unconvincedly.

"Will the regular meeting take so long? I always feel that something is wrong with this place. There must be something wrong. Yuan Si Niang's tone was very sure.

Su Siman was silent that Yuan Si Niang was an old man, and some things naturally saw more accurately than her. Maybe something really happened. It has been more than three months since the departure of Pingyan City, and it is not surprising that something will happen in mid-March. She couldn't help feeling tight. Is Brother Gao all right? Is Xiaoqiang all right?

The tea was cold, and the maid in the blue shirt pulled a pot of tea in time.

Just as she was about to leave, she was stopped by Susman: "Wait a minute!"

"What do you want to do?" The maid stopped and was respectful.

"I want to ask you about a man named Ding Xiaoqiang, who is your newly accepted apprentice. Is he here today?"

"Ding Xiaoqiang?" The maid raised her eyebrows in surprise and glanced at Su Siman, and then lowered her head again, "I don't know. When the master came back yesterday, he was alone and didn't bring anyone else.

"What? Did he just come back yesterday? Su Siman was shocked and his face couldn't help changing. Normally, it should have arrived a long time ago, but something must have gone wrong in the middle. Where did Xiaoqiang go? Didn't you come back with him?!

"Hmm." The maid nodded and gently closed her sleeves, which seemed to be a little uncomfortable.

"When will their meeting be held?"

"It's hard to say. I dare not talk nonsense."

"Where are they? Is it here?" Su Siman became a little anxious, and many doubts surged up in his heart, and he couldn't figure it out.

The maid stretched out her hand and pointed to the window: "It's on the big boat in the middle of the lake."

"Oh, I see." Su Siman glanced at the boat that was still motionless in the middle of the lake and was a little depressed.

"Do you have any other instructions?"

"No more for the time being."

"The slave left first. If you have something to do, you can call a maidservant.

"Hmm."

Su Siman's heart rose, and his previous excitement was swept away and he sat down in the chair. For a long time, she was refreshed and turned her inquiring eyes to Yuan Si Niang.

"Don't look at me, I don't know." Yuan Si Niang raised her eyebrows and was a little helpless, but she was still very firm. "It seems that we didn't come at the right time, but since we are here, we still need to ask."

"I just feel a little strange. Do you remember that you went to Brother Gao's home in Pingyan City before the Spring Festival? At that time, he had already left for Yancheng. We only arrived today. Naturally, it was because there were too many delays along the way, but how did he arrive..."

"There may have been some accidents on the road."

"Of course I know that there must have been an accident, but I don't know what happened." Su Siman shouted in frustration and was very dissatisfied.

"That's their business. It has nothing to do with me, and I don't care. The purpose of my trip is to inquire about my son's whereabouts from the imprisoned wastes, and I don't worry about other things. Yuan Si Niang looked cold and her eyes were cold.

Su Siman curled his lips, but said nothing more.

Bixi didn't know the reason. Seeing that the master was depressed, he wanted to enlighten and comfort him, but he didn't know where to start. He stopped talking a few times. Finally, he didn't say anything and stood quietly beside Su Siman.

The room is very quiet, and there is no other sound except the sound of Qingyue caused by the occasional wind blowing the bead curtain. Just as time flows quietly and is almost forgotten, a small step is particularly clear.

"My son, it's right here."

"Okay, Ruyue, you go down."

Su Siman looked at the door in surprise and thought it was his hallucination.
