The two of them left the inn and went to the big tree in the north of the town, and sure enough, they saw the begging man that Lin Yuanqing said, it was a middle-aged man in his forties, his clothes were ragged, and the skin below his elbows and knees was leaking out, and he was sitting bored under the big tree and squinting.

Shenyue Haoqing walked over, and asked according to what Lin Yuanqing said, "Are the pigeons fattened?" ”

The beggar opened one eye, looked at Shenyue Haoqing, and replied lazily, "There are no pigeons, but it is quite delicious to call the flower chicken." ”

Shenyue Haoqing replied, "Excuse me, but I have heard of Lin Yuanqing's seniors, and I am looking for the leader of your gang according to the instructions of my seniors." ”

The beggar stood up at this point, "Are you the woman's husband?" ”

Shenyue Haoqing nodded in acknowledgement, and the beggar walked in front and said, "Please come with me." ”

The beggar led them into the alley, and for a while they came to a large house that looked very spacious. The beggar walked straight in without saying hello, and the black eagle glanced at Shenyue Haoqing and walked in front to investigate, and Shenyue Haoqing followed in.

The two men followed the beggar all the way to the innermost part of the house, where several men with lucky bags were sitting and discussing something. When he saw them coming in, he shut down and looked at Shenyue Haoqing and the two of them.

Shenyue Haoqing arched his hand towards them, "In the lower Shenyue Haoqing, under the guidance of Senior Lin, I came to ask you about some things. ”

One of them, an old beggar who looked older and carried eight lucky bags on his back, walked up and tried to give them a dismount first, "Although you are the prince, but our beggar gang has never recognized the name, whether the emperor is in front or the prime minister is behind, we are willing to help you this time just for the sake of friends in the rivers and lakes." ”

Shenyue Haoqing nodded, and did not put on the prince's shelf at all, "The junior understands that the junior is not here this time as the king of Tianyang, but only as the husband of Li Anyue to ask for your help. ”

The people present were a little shocked when they saw Shenyue Haoqing's humble appearance, because in their opinion, no one who was an official would be a good person, but anyone with a little power saw that the common people were either condescending or disdainful, not to mention that they were ninth-rate beggars, so they immediately changed their minds about him and let him sit down.

"The juniors want to ask the seniors if there is any news about Yue'er?" The people in the room are all people from the rivers and lakes, and Shenyue Haoqing doesn't care about those official positions, but calls himself in the way of the rivers and lakes, anyway, everyone here can indeed be called his predecessors.

"After hearing the call of the capital, our side also sent people to pay close attention to the behavior of passers-by, and after discovering Miss Li, they have been keeping an eye on her, but after Miss Li fled on horseback last night, she suddenly lost her news. However, I have been working hard to find my disciples, and I also went to the road outside the city to follow Miss Li's traces. The old beggar spoke first.

"But what did you find?"

"There is no one who found Miss Li." The old beggar shook his head, "But then I found the horse that Miss Li rode away that night, and then observed the situation on both sides of the road, and found traces of being dumped, which should have been caused by Miss Li when she fell off the horse, but Miss Li was not found nearby, so she should have been rescued." ”

"Do you know the whereabouts of this rescuer?"

The old beggar smiled bitterly, "There are so many passers-by, how can they pay attention." ”

Shenyue Haoqing thought about it, but she was too anxious, "Then may I ask the seniors to know which direction she went in last night?" ”

"Don't you still want to chase it? It's been a day, and I don't know who rescued her, I'm afraid I can't catch up, right? ”

Shenyue Haoqing lowered his head and thought for a while, "It's okay, I'll go over and take a look first, maybe ......"

"Well, yes, maybe. Miss Li is heading west, and there are no towns along the way, so if you chase it quickly, you may not be able to catch up. The old beggar didn't believe it in his own heart, but he didn't want to strike him.

Shenyue Haoqing nodded and stood up, "In this case, the junior will leave first, and if there is any news from the capital, please also ask the senior to pass it on on your behalf." ”

"Don't worry, we'll also ask the disciples around to help keep an eye on the movement."

"Then it's going to trouble the seniors." Shenyue Haoqing went out after speaking, Black Eagle looked at everyone, nodded, and went out with him.

When Li Anyue woke up, she found that she was already lying in the tent, remembering that she was still sitting in the carriage, when she slept in the tent, she had no impression at all, and she felt that she had been sleeping for a long time, and she had no strength in her hands and feet, she stretched her waist and stood up a little tired and walked out of the tent.

By this time it was completely dark, and there were about five or six tents around, with a fire lit in the middle. Li Anyue reacted at this time, as if he had never paid attention to how many people there were in this circus troupe, except for the three of Feng Yueyun, the girl and Li Shengcai, and the driver who drove the car, he had almost never seen anyone else, and he thought it was because he had been very sleepy for the past two days, which may be that there are things in the decoction to help him sleep.

Li Anyue sat by the fire, looking at the flickering flames and falling into deep thought. Today should be the tenth day of the eighth month, and it has been three days since she left Tianyang City, I don't know if Shenyue Haoqing is looking for her. Counting it, tomorrow, as long as it is tomorrow, it should be almost in Tianyang City, she can see him, so she has to apologize to him. Li Anyue was a little excited when she thought about it, and the corners of her mouth also hooked a satisfied smile, and she was about to stand up and go to Li Shengcai to ask about tomorrow's journey.

"Sister." As soon as she stood up, she saw the girl standing in the distance of the tent waving to her. After getting along for the past two days, the girl no longer calls her girl, but calls her sister like any other woman.

"Girl, what's wrong?" Li Anyue walked over a little strangely.

"Shhhh The girl made a shushing gesture on the side of her mouth, and then pulled Li Anyue to the far side of the tent, walked for a distance before stopping, and looked back a little uneasily.

"Girl, why did you bring me so far away from the tent, is there anything important to say?" Li Anyue also followed her gaze and looked back, only to see black round tents standing there.

"Sister, don't ask so much, let's go!" The girl didn't explain, so she pushed her away.

Li Anyue was very puzzled, "Let's go?" Where to go? ”

"Aren't you going back to Tianyang City, go back quickly!" The girl kept pushing her forward.

"Isn't it tomorrow, why rush at this time? Besides, it's getting dark now, and even if you want to drive me away, you can at least wait until dawn to get rid of me. ”

When the girl heard that Li Anyue was still in the mood to joke with her, she couldn't help crying anxiously, "Sister, you go quickly, it's too late if you don't leave." ”

"What's too late? How could it be too late? Girl, you have to make things clear to me first. Li Anyue squatted down and asked her after wiping away her tears.

The girl wrung the corners of her clothes and stumbled, hesitating whether to say it, but after looking at the tent not far away, she said it as if she had made up her mind, "Sister, you go quickly, just now in the tent, they thought I was asleep and were discussing, saying that the class master plans to take you to the country of Vaxi to dedicate you to the princes and nobles there as a concubine, if you don't leave, you won't be able to leave!" ”

Li Anyue was shocked in her heart, "How could it be, didn't the class master say that he was back to Tianyang City by the way?" How did you go to Vassi? ”

"That's all the class master lying to you, we didn't go to Tianyang City at all, but have been going to Vaxi Country all the time, the class master originally wanted to trick you to Vaxi Country." The girl couldn't help but bow her head as she spoke, after all, she also played the role of a deceiver in it.

Li Anyue frowned, remembering her abnormal drowsiness in the past two days, and every time she brought the medicine over, the girl always avoided her gaze, and at first thought she was just shy, but now she thinks that she should be scared, "Girl, tell me honestly, did you drug me." ”

The girl nodded silently, but immediately raised her head and looked at Li Anyue, "Sister, I really didn't know that there was a drug in it at the beginning, they just said that it was to help sleep, very little." ”

Li Anyue knew that she was telling the truth, because if the amount of drugs was large, she would not be unable to smell it when she was a child, who had been exposed to various medicinal materials since she was a child, "In this case, why did I sleep for so long?" ”

"Because they also lit the incense for you when you were asleep, so that you won't wake up when the incense is burned, but they didn't put too much, worried that it would be bad for you."

"I've slept almost the whole day, isn't that much?" Li Anyue asked with some reproach. It's a three-point poison, and I'm afraid I'm going to be poisoned to death by drugs these days.

The girl said a little sneeringly, "Sister, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, it's just that I ......"

"You're afraid of that class master?" Li Anyue then asked, she naturally knew that since the girl had let her run away now, she definitely didn't really want to hurt her, and besides, what could she do when she was still so young, "Don't be afraid, I don't blame you, but why do you want to tell me now, aren't you afraid that after I let me go, the class master will blame you?" ”

The girl shook her head vigorously, "I'm not afraid, it's just a big deal, it's just a beating, anyway, I'm often beaten, I'm used to it." ”

"I'm willing to help my sister because my sister is a good person, my sister is the first person to feed me, and I like my sister."
