Ji Xiaolan: Kill Qianlong at the beginning

The two of them came to a thatched cottage, and Du Xiaoyue said, "Brother Li, this is the house the woodcutter was talking about. Let's go."

The two walked in. As soon as Mo Li entered, he was stunned by the scene before him. The yard was full of debris and covered with dust.

The more Du Xiaoyue looked, the more she felt something was wrong. She said, "Brother Li, are we in the wrong place?"

Mo Li knocked on the door with his pipe. No one responded. Du Xiaoyue looked through the crack in the door, but saw no one inside either.

The two of them pushed the door open and walked in.

The room was covered with cobwebs, dust on the table, dust on the stools... everything showed that no one had lived here for a long time.

Du Xiaoyue said, "Strange, it seems no one lives here."

Mo Li noticed that there was a tablet in the middle, which read:

The spirit tablet of Mr. Cao Xueqin.

Du Xiaoyue was shocked when she saw this and said, "Brother Li, Cao Xueqin is dead."

Mo Li sighed and said, "I thought I could recite poems with him and drink a cup with him, but now it's just regret."

Du Xiaoyue said, "If he is dead, who was the woman who delivered the book yesterday?" She was referring to Xiangyun's identity, not her name.

Mo Li said, “Yes.”

Du Xiaoyue said, "Brother Li, I think we should leave. I'm feeling a chill just staying here."

Mo Li asked, "What is the relationship between Xiangyun and Cao Xueqin?"

Du Xiaoyue said: "No matter what his relationship is, why doesn't she live here?"

Mo Li said: "Perhaps, this is exactly the mystery she left for us."

Du Xiaoyue said: "Mystery? What mystery?"

At this time, a Taoist priest walked in and said, "You two, it is not advisable to stay here for long. Come with me." After that, he flicked his sleeves and sucked the two into the space inside his sleeves.

"Brother Li, where is this place? Why is it so dark?"

"Xiaoyue, don't talk."

Du Xiaoyue immediately shut her mouth.

Mo Lixin thought he had arrived at the perfect time. He had anticipated the arrival of soldiers and had made arrangements in advance, finding a Taoist priest who could perform magic to assist him.

The three of them arrived at a safe place. The Taoist priest released the two from his sleeves. Du Xiaoyue asked, "Who are you?"

The Taoist priest said, "My name is Wu Shudu. I'm a friend of Master Mo."

Du Xiaoyue said: "Friend, how come I don't know?"

Mo Li said, "Xiao Yue, there are many things you don't know. Think about why Master Wu wanted to take us away just now."

Du Xiaoyue asked: "Why?"

Mo Li said, "If we don't leave now, we'll be caught by the soldiers."

……

At the same time, Fu Kang'an came into the room and said, "Strange, why is there no one here? You were clearly here just now."

At this time, someone came over and said, "Master Fu, we have searched inside and outside, and there is indeed no one."

Fu Kang'an said, "But someone has clearly been here before."

"I don't know about the little ones. Maybe... maybe they can fly and fly away?" said the soldier.

Fu Kang'an fell into deep thought, and after a long moment, he said, "Now that you mention it, I remember that Mo Li has a friend who knows magic. Mo Li must have known we were lying in ambush and sent that Taoist priest to help. This Mo Li is truly cunning."

The officer said, "Then, Lord Fu, what should we do next?"

Fu Kangan said, "They must not have gone far. Chase them."

However, Fukangan chased for half an hour but did not find Mo Li nearby.
