Chapter 201 Not in the South, but in the North
A dreamless night.
When I woke up, it was just dawn
Su Wanning sat up, and all the fatigue on her body was swept away
Even the physical discomfort was alleviated a little.
I opened the window and looked out at the distant horizon, which was obscured by mist, and the shape of the distant mountains could not be revealed.
The morning glow in the distance illuminated the sky, the layers of fog dissipated, and the sun came out.
Before I knew it, a hawking sound was heard on the street.
Su Wanning came back to her senses, put on her clothes and walked out the door.
She plans to go to the bamboo forest again today.
After breakfast, the carriage slowly left the city.
They soon arrived at a place where the carriage could not go. After the carriage was tied up, Yue Shu and the others accompanied Su Wanning in.
Su Wanning did not refute. After all, it was she who went in and caused the accidents.
If she hadn't insisted on going in by herself, would the result have been different?
Then she immediately denied it, saying that if Jin Huan had gone in with her, she would have probably died.
Just as Su Wanning was thinking about this, she stopped and looked at the place where a big rock was supposed to be, but the rock was nowhere to be found.
Su Wanning walked towards the stone and carefully observed the ground.
There were indeed signs of being trampled on in that area.
He pointed to the footprints on the ground and said, "Look, this is where I exchanged a few words with someone I had met once before."
Yue Shu lowered her head and looked at the ground carefully.
“There are indeed traces of people walking by.”
The few of them continued walking forward. About a quarter of an hour later, Su Wanning looked at the surrounding environment. It was indeed as Jinhuan said, there was nothing but bamboo forest.
Su Wanning thought for a moment and said, "I was in a hurry that day, so I must have walked very fast. Let's look further ahead."
After walking for a while, there was a lake at the end of the road.
Su Wanning was stunned. How could this be?
How could it not be found?
It's clearly at the end of the road.
Su Wanning squatted down and looked at the lake. There was already some algae near the shore.
It’s not freshly dug.
Something was wrong, Su Wanning felt like her mind was a mess.
Looking at Xing Jinhua, "Where did you find me?"
"It's right where we just passed, in the bamboo forest on the west side of the road."
Bamboo forest? What else is there besides bamboo forest? Oh, and there is also a tree.
It is a tree that has long since withered.
She told Jinhuan and Yueshu in front of her the scene she remembered.
Yue Shu lowered her head and frowned, muttering, "Bamboo forest, dead trees, bamboo house, empty land."
As if he suddenly thought of something, he raised his head and looked at Jinhuan.
Jinhuan also seemed to remember something, and the two looked at each other.
Su Wanning looked at the two people in front of her, knowing that they must have thought of something. "What do you know? Tell me quickly."
Jin Huan looked at Su Wan Ning and told her everything she knew, "There is indeed a place, but it's not here. It's in the bamboo forest outside the north of the city."
North of the city? Su Wanning was stunned. How could it be the north of the city? The bamboo forest they were in now went south from the south of the city.
But no matter what, I still have to go and take a look.
The carriage drove through the capital city towards the north.
On a tall building somewhere in the city, a man watched the carriage speeding past and turned back to his room.
"Foster father, I've taken the person away. If you have anything, please let the birds convey it to me."
"I understand. You'd better leave quickly. If you don't leave now, you will be discovered by the people of the Dashun Dynasty and you won't be able to leave." The person drinking tea next to him waved to the woman in front of him who was wearing foreign clothes.
After the woman left, the tea drinker sighed, "I shouldn't have made the bet earlier. Now I've lost everything. I guess I need to prepare another big gift."
Su Wanning's carriage soon arrived at the bamboo forest in the north of the city. After getting off the carriage, she walked for about a quarter of an hour.
Standing at the intersection, looking at Zhan Beiwang, his life or death is unknown.
Bamboo house, dead tree, bamboo forest....
The scenes of the past reappeared and tears instantly flowed.
Yue Shu walked over to check and saw a lot of bloodstains in the open space in front.
There was no information in the bamboo house.
After surveying everything nearby, he came to Su Wanning.
"There are indeed signs of a fight in the front, but nothing else was found."
After crying, Su Wanning looked at this place and said, "This is it. It was here that he was killed..."
Yue Shu, Jin Hua and Su Wan Ning had already guessed it when they saw that the place was not right. It should be this place, but it was two quarters of an hour away from the bamboo forest in the south of the city.
Jin Huan found the unconscious Su Wan Ning in the south of the city.
Unless someone drugged Su Wanning during this period, making her forget time for a short time.
I remembered that Su Wanning had said before that she met someone on the way.
"Miss, you said you met someone in the bamboo forest. Who was that person? Did you realize they had poisoned you?"
"Her name is Le An. I was always one step away from her. She didn't have the chance to poison me." Su Wanning shook her head. Although she handed Le An a few pieces of paper during the period, she did not touch any part of Le An's body.
What's more, even if she didn't remember Jinhuan, Su Wanning thought about it and asked the question in her heart.
Jinhua quickly waved her hand, "I only waited for two quarters of an hour before going in to look for the young lady. It was barely the time it took to drink a cup of tea."
Yue Shu's frown deepened after hearing this. "Perhaps you two were poisoned by someone else at the same time."
Jinhuan wanted to refute, but this was the only possibility.
All three of them agreed with this statement, otherwise everything would be impossible to explain.
In the end, the few people spent a whole day searching the bamboo forest but still couldn't find Zhan Beiwang's body.
Seeing that Su Wanning was depressed when she returned, Jinhua looked at Su Wanning and comforted her,
"Miss, Zhan Beiwang is the God of War of the Dashun Dynasty. How could he be killed so easily? I guess he must still be alive now and will come back when he recovers."
Su Wanning also hoped so, but at that time she saw with her own eyes that Zhan Beiwang was pinned down by someone.
Jinhua then added, "Miss, if we were drugged at that time, then the scene we saw must not be real."
"There's blood on the ground." Su Wanning looked out the window.
"He might have been saved by a passing hermit. Otherwise, how could they not find his body now? Even if they killed him and took his body, it would be useless."
A little hope ignited in Su Wanning's heart again. Yes, it was useless for them to have the corpse. Zhan Beiwang must still be alive. Yes, he must still be alive. She must live a good life and wait for Zhan Beiwang to come back.
But at night she still had to take the tranquilizer Bai Ye gave her to barely fall asleep.
The next day, Su Wanning was awakened by the noisy sounds from the street outside. She opened the window and looked outside. The sun had just come out and the morning market on the street had not yet started. Why was it so noisy?
