On her wedding night, she went into exile with her pharmacy arsenal

Chapter 453 Underwater

Liu Da couldn't believe it.

The chief manager, who was the county lord's person, was in charge of the affairs of the county lord's palace, and he just... died?

"What happened? How did you die? Tell me quickly!"

"I don't dare to hide it. Guard Jin personally ordered his subordinates to interrogate the general manager. The general manager couldn't stand it..."

Liu Da felt his head buzzing.

What kind of excitement is this? Guard Jin killed the chief steward?

If you usually stay out of things and watch a show, that's fine, but what should you do now?

Liu Da was depressed for a moment, finally digesting the news, and took a deep breath.

"Where is the golden guard? Let's not talk about anything else. The eldest son has an important errand."

"This... villain doesn't know that the golden guard didn't come back after he left."

Liu Da was so angry that his heart ached: "If you don't know, go find it, quickly! If you delay things, no one will survive!"

The general manager usually keeps things too tight, for fear that others will decentralize power. Now there is neither a general manager nor a gold mountain in the mansion. It is like a piece of loose sand, and all the servants are like headless flies.

Liu Da was a stranger to them. He seemed to agree, but in fact he was not afraid at all.

After more than an hour of tossing, it was completely dark, but there was no news from Jinshan.

Liu Da completely lost his temper, couldn't find the gold mountain, and couldn't deliver the letter. What about his errand?

The subordinates suggested in a low voice: "Brother Liu, why don't we do it ourselves? Guard Jin is a popular figure around the eldest son. If we can't find him, he is fine. When the time comes, push six, two, five, and the responsibility will still be ours."

"Why don't we do it ourselves, so that we can report to the eldest son when we get back? As for the matter in the letter, we can't open it privately, and no one can find it, so we might as well just put the letter here. When he comes back and sees it, that's His business."

Liu Da thought, there was no other way, he couldn't just wait.

"Okay, let's do it like this." Liu Da handed the letter to a second-class housekeeper in the mansion and left in a hurry with his men.

The bright moon has risen and the stars are shining slightly. For some reason, Liu Da feels a little confused and has a bad feeling.

I'm afraid this trip won't go well.

He went out of the city gate with worries and found that the people who were building roads outside the city gate when he came had basically dispersed.

Liu Dasong said in a relaxed tone: It's good if everyone disperses. The eldest son means that it should be done quietly without disturbing others. Just now he was worried that it would be difficult to do anything if there were too many people. Now it seems that the "bad premonition" he had just now was because he was overthinking and he was lucky.

When he met the other men at the water's edge, Liu Da quickly said: "We didn't find the golden guard. Now we can only rely on ourselves. We all need to cheer up."

"Brother Liu, I heard that the stone is not that small. It won't be easy for us to get it out of the water. We have to transport it back to Lincheng. Without their help, this..."

Liu Da was helpless: "Get the water first and hide it in the forest. Then go to the county lord's mansion and ask them to prepare the carriage."

"It's getting late, let's go into the water and look for it first."

"Yes!"

So far, it can only be like this.

Several people put on their water clothes, leaving one person standing guard on the shore while the other five people went into the water.

In the shadow not far away, Huo Changhe had a small cloth bag on his knees, his mouth open, and he was peeling nut shells in his hand.

Yan Ruyu watched the few people entering the water with interest while eating the fragrant nuts.

"Their water suits are no better than ours," Huo Changhe commented. "Their suits don't fit the body at all. They sink even after entering the water, making it difficult to use them."

Yan Ruyu smiled and said nothing: You seemed to be like this before, and I just gave you a new one recently, okay?

Huo Changhe continued: "And they don't have lights that can be used underwater, so I don't know if they can see it."

Yan Ruyu: "..."

Huo Changhe touched the small flashlight in his arms and said happily: "After the things are done in a while, I will take you to catch wild rabbits?"

Yan Ruyu couldn't help laughing: "Okay, listen to the prince and catch a few more, just in time to see Chang Heng and Qin Xiang."

While the two were chatting, Liu Da and the others slowly dived into the water.

This was their first time to go to this lake. They had never been to Yongchang before, so they found out about this location from the servants in the mansion.

I don't know if I can find it successfully.

It was just autumn, but the water was already bone-chillingly cold. Several people gritted their teeth and persisted in the water, searching quickly with their eyes wide open.

There were a lot of aquatic plants growing at the bottom of the water, which affected his vision even more, and Liu Da became increasingly irritable.

What a bad job this is!

When I turned around and was about to leave, I felt my hand touch something, something floating, like a water plant.

He didn't pay much attention to it, nor did he look closely. He waved his hand and was about to swim in another direction when he glanced at it and saw his hand.

He twirled his fingers, it wasn't waterweed, that was... hair?

He slowly turned his head towards the direction where he had just touched the water plants.

Something floating over there spread out like water plants, and between them was a pale and bloodless face.

This face is no stranger, it is the chief steward!

Liu Da was so frightened that he wanted to scream. He opened his mouth and drank several sips of water, almost choking him to death.

He struggled hard for a few times, quickly forced himself to regain his senses, and swam forward with all his strength, not even retaining the energy to suck milk.

He met another person head-on, and he almost screamed again. Only when he got closer did he see clearly that it was his subordinate.

He pointed over there, and his men were startled and choked a few times. The two exchanged glances and quickly headed upstream.

"Wow!" He finally came out of the water.

Yan Ruyu said in a low voice: "Come up here. Looking at his embarrassed appearance, he must have found out."

"I'm pretty lucky," Huo Changhe snorted, "I thought I would have to go into the water a few times to find it."

Yan Ruyu laughed dumbly: "If they finish things here quickly, we can leave quickly and get something. If it takes too much effort, doesn't it make the master Huo Changxian even more stupid?"

Huo Changhe hummed: "It's just as stupid to find a stone."

Liu Da sat down on the shore, gasping for air and looking at the water with lingering fear.

The man rolled to his side, lying down and looking at the water, as if if he wasn't careful, some monster would follow him from the water.

As soon as the thought of fearing something came up, the water surface fluctuated more and more.

Liu Da didn't care whether he was tired or not. He stood up and watched with vigilance.

The man who stayed behind came over: "Brother Liu, what's wrong?"

Liu Da didn't say anything. He pulled out his sword and heard a "crash".

Another person emerged from the water.

His hair stood on end. He took two steps back and took a closer look. He was also one of his men.

"Did you find anything?" Liu Da asked quickly.

"Did you find it? No, the water is too cold. I'm almost freezing. Brother Liu, can you wait for a while before going down?"

The person who went into the water with Liu Da just now asked in a trembling voice: "You really didn't see it?"

"What did you see?" My companion was confused, "I didn't see anything except those water plants and stuff."

Upon hearing the word "water plant", Liu Da's expression changed slightly.

Just at this moment, there was another sound on the water, and the cry pierced the night sky.
