Chapter 384: All Counted
In the study, the guards waited for a long time and finally got the order they wanted most.
"Lord, obey!"
The guard withdrew from the study with joy, his steps brisk, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders, and he became instantly lighter.
It's a great feeling of relief!
So much so that when he withdrew, he didn't notice the gaze of the man behind him.
Tianfang watched with a complicated expression as the back of the guard disappeared outside the door of the study.
Hearing his joy, he still remembered to gently close the wooden door of the study and move gently, so as not to disturb the people in the room.
Tianfang stood up from the desk and pushed the booklet on the table to the side casually.
As usual, he paced back and forth in the room.
His gaze swept over the letters piled up on several cases, and Tianfang's eyes sank slightly.
One after the other, it means that the matter is urgent.
Tianfang knew that Xilanan's trip could not be delayed, if he hadn't insisted on it, he would have left Suzhou a day earlier.
Things were far trickier than he had imagined.
Originally, the stronghold on the south side of Zealand had been secretly going on, and he had been planning for several years.
It has really been implemented in the past two years, but it seems to be too smooth, which makes people invisibly relax their vigilance.
The person who was in the shadows, the unexpected blow caught people off guard.
Tianfang guessed that the other party's frequent moves seemed to be deliberate.
The choice of Suzhou or the national capital city in the south of Xilan rather than in Suzhou, which is closer to the north, is a bit strange from the starting point.
Unless. It's not for the war in the Northlands, at least so far, the intentions aren't quite the same.
New developments are emerging. With Tianfang's experience in dealing with it, I think it's a little incredible, not to mention the subordinates of Xilanan.
Things have come to this point, and as the leader of this group, what can he do if he doesn't go south to deal with the aftermath?
The other party calculated this from the beginning, and unfortunately, it was all calculated.
This time, two warehouses were set on fire, and the stronghold in West Lannan was concerned. Very important.
The loss is still secondary, if you don't deal with it, the other party may have a back move.
As for what the aftermath will be. There's no way to guess.
Tianfang's expression was a little helpless, he pressed his temples and gently rubbed them a few times, and then sighed.
After walking around the study a few times, he walked to the shelf. There are whole rows and rows of book shelves that look over, and they are full.
Except for books. There are also those cute gadgets that the guards have found from Suzhou City.
Looking at the cute furnishings that occupy a place on the shelf, looking at them, Tianfang's mood will become better.
No one was found, but the room prepared for her was cleaned every day, and as soon as she came, she could stay comfortably.
Even if she only stays in Suzhou City for a short time, these days are comfortable for her.
When we arrived in the Northland, there would be no such comfortable days to live.
Tianfang took the gadgets on the shelf in his hand and played with them for a while. Then he walked to the door, pushed open the wooden door, and walked out, slowly descending the steps.
It was cold. But the moonlight was just right, and it sprinkled a silver glow.
The scenery in the small courtyard is elegant, and Tianfang takes advantage of the dead of night to walk around the yard at will.
Intentionally or unintentionally, his eyes swept over the bright place of the front yard, and Tianfang knew that the group of people had not rested.
The guards who came to the study to ask for instructions were one of them.
This group of people also cared more about the brothers who had fought together than they did in the past.
As soon as the matter of Xilanan came out and the news arrived, they couldn't sit still for a long time, and they were clamoring to go over one by one.
Inside and outside the city of Suzhou, so many people were arranged, but their little junior sister seemed to be missing.
The existing evidence and clues clearly show that she did come to Suzhou City, and should have entered the city.
It's a pity, no matter what he does, Tianfang was surprised to feel as if he was always one step behind, and he didn't find her trace
As he spoke, the guards walked all the way from the outside of the study to the side room where their companions stayed.
Seven or eight companions were sitting or standing, drinking tea or leaning on the back of a chair napping in the room.
At this time of the day, it is the most leisurely time for their group, as long as there are no temporary emergency tasks to do, they are quite comfortable in the small courtyard.
When these men saw him enter the door, they stood up, those who stood straightened, and those who drank tea put down their teacups.
Even those who were napping opened their eyes.
As if what he had just seen was an illusion, every one of the people was looking at him with concern.
With an inquisitive gaze mixed with hope!
The guard didn't want the big guy to wait too long, he didn't sell it, pursed his lips and said directly: "It's done!"
"The Lord has told him to receive those who have come from the capital in the morning, and to continue the search in the city."
He paused in his tone, and continued: "The Lord has planned it, and it will be time for sunset!"
"If there is no news yet, he will leave for the south then."
Hearing this, the guards' expressions suddenly relaxed, and they exchanged glances with each other, and the atmosphere in the room also changed.
Everyone discussed with each other, and after getting the approval of the Lord, the next step was to discuss which people would stay in Suzhou City and search for them with their companions from the national capital.
The rest, of course, will follow the Lord and set off to the south.
As a result of the discussion, it was not surprising that the two guards who had taken the boat with them and had seen the little sister of the Lord stayed behind and continued to stay in the capital.
If someone is found, not only will he be taken over, but according to the plan, he will need to go to the Northland with him, and out of safety, he plans to send an additional person.
In fact, none of them found out what was on their minds, and to be honest, it was much more difficult to find that little junior sister than originally expected.
No one will stab the heavens where they are!
I really don't know how the other party hid, and he didn't reveal the slightest whereabouts.
Right now, the companions of the capital city are about to arrive. It can be regarded as taking over some of the manpower to continue to search in Suzhou City.
As for going to the Northland after finding it, this is a later story, and you have to find someone before you can arrange it.
The people of the Sea Kingdom may not have participated in the war in the Northlands. Their focus was on how to let the little sister of the Lord go to the north smoothly, and then send her away safely after finishing her work.
That's all there is to it and nothing else
On the mountain road, the guard of the Hua family and the guard who followed the Yuwen family both followed behind the young man.
The three horses pulled a little distance up the trail.
The person from the Yuwen family wanted to talk to the person from the Hua family, and he had an idea, and he slowly slowed down a little with a look.
glanced at the other person, and the other party had a tacit understanding. The same was done.
The two of them can be said to be tacit.
In the night, the guards of the Yuwen family glanced at their peers and saw that the young man in front of him was riding a horse and walking well. Not aware.
He moved closer to the other party, lowered his voice as much as he could, and turned to ask the people who were walking with him.
"The eldest lady of your family, why does she like to do something every time she returns to the East Mansion in Suzhou?"
The guards of the Hua family glanced at him when they heard this. The face is extremely ugly.
His lips moved. It seems that he wants to say something to refute it, but for a moment he can't find a reason to refute it.
But he is a subordinate person, and he definitely doesn't want the people of the Yuwen family to question his eldest lady.
What's more, the two have another layer of origin.
Everyone knows that there is no resentment in their hearts!
So he lowered his head and thought about it for a while, Fang raised his head and said sullenly: "We are not very easy to talk about." ”
"Come on!" The guard of the Yuwen family shook his head and sighed, ruthlessly piercing him, "You don't say it." I'm not depressed yet! ”
The young man in front suddenly turned his head and looked at them coldly: "What are you two rubbing?" Hurry up and keep up. ”
His gaze paused on the faces of his guards, and he said in a low voice, "If you don't speak, no one will treat you as dumb." ”
The guards of the Yuwen family shrank their necks and no longer spoke.
After a while, the young man's gaze turned to another person and asked, "The guards who followed her, can they still pass the test?" “
The Hua family guard was stunned for a moment, and quickly nodded: "Very good." ”
The other party's kung fu is better than his!
He is good at equestrianism, so he undertakes the task of tracking, but it is more secure to fight and protect the eldest lady.
Regarding this, the eldest lady also knows, so there is nothing wrong with the arrangement of the beginning of the task, otherwise the two of them will have to change each other.
Of course, good skills also mean that under normal circumstances, if the number of enemies is undecided, it is difficult to say.
Before long, the Hua family's guards felt inappropriate as soon as they spoke.
He actually agreed in front of the three young men of the Yuwen family that his companion's kung fu was not bad, would it make this person change his mind and simply give up the search and not look for it directly?!
In that case, what a good thing to be!
The guard glanced at San Shao with some fear.
Fortunately, the young man didn't say anything more, and his eyes were heavy and he sped up.
It seems that he intends to reach the top of the mountain faster.
This area is close to the top of the mountain, and the temperature is lower and colder than at the bottom of the mountain.
If something happens to the carriage on the way, the cold in the mountains alone will freeze to death!
That troublemaker really picked a good place, the young man gritted his teeth, and said in his heart that if he found her, he would definitely send her back to the Hua family this time.
I guessed that Suzhou was not peaceful, but after living for two days, it was more than expected to cause trouble before we met!
He's got something to do, and he's here to make trouble!
The moon shadow is mottled, and the night breeze outside the window blows through the place, making the branches and leaves rustle, and the courtyard is exceptionally quiet.
By the light, I looked up from the table near the window and looked at the door.
About an hour has passed, presumably the ingots have rested, and no one has bothered Qingyin Pavilion again.
Tonight, I'll probably be able to spend the night in peace, I thought to myself.
Tomorrow morning, I'm going to go on a trip.
This time I went to a place not a pharmacy or a time-honored restaurant, Suzhou City has turned around on both sides, this time I plan to go to the riverside to have a look.
What has happened in the last few days, I have reorganized it in my mind and straightened out the links.
The original plan was to take a boat from the capital city to Suzhou, but I didn't expect an accident to happen halfway.
According to what I had agreed with Senior Brother Hei a long time ago, we should have arrived in Suzhou City by water a few days ago.
I came to Suzhou East House for two days, I didn't think of going to the riverside wharf to see, this time I thought about it, the more I thought about it, the more right I felt, I felt that I should go!
Senior brother knows that I will definitely go to Suzhou, as long as I get out safely.
But he didn't know which way I was going.
I've wandered around the city without finding any clues, and I've squatted at the most important entrances and exits to the eastern part of the city.
If I go to the wharf in the south of Suzhou City, this thought will light up with my eyes, I wonder if my brother's people will stay there?
After dawn, Yuan Bao and Adele listened to my instructions, and they would also help me continue to inquire about the homes of those who had placed the owners of the houses but were not there all the year round in the eastern boundary of the city.
Give yourself and give them a little time, if you still can't find it, there is really nothing you can do.
The arrangements on the other side have not stopped, and I have already set out to go to the Northland to use the medicinal herbs.
The only thought of this in the list of items that made me pause for a moment, and then I looked out the window again, this is it, it's a little tricky!
I stopped at the table and began to sort out the remaining herbs on the table.
I had to make a fire, and I was worried that I would be filling the kitchen with smoke in the middle of the night.
I can cook and make my own dim sum, but I've never been good at making a fire in the kitchen.
Where is it like the experience before the crossing, an open fire can be done at the touch of a button, and the way to light a fire here requires skilled workers.
I think it's even harder to use the stove here than to make a fire in the mountains.
Go out tomorrow, and when you come back, let the ingots do it.
I thought about it, and looked inside the kitchen again, the table looked clean and tidy, and the used dishes had been flushed in the sink.
I pushed the door and walked out, and returned to the Qingyin attic, where Yuan Bao had already gone to sleep, but as I had instructed, a lamp was left for me
Suddenly there were footsteps on the mountain road, and I heard it clearly that it was two people.
The boy suddenly dismounted from his horse, and the two guards behind him did the same.
After a pause, the boy left his horse in place and walked straight through the woods.
The guards didn't have time to react, so they slowed down and hurried to follow.
At this time, how could there be strangers walking on the mountain, right?
The guard of the Hua family was even more nervous, and followed the young man almost in unison.
Not long after, two figures appeared in front of them.
To be precise, one carries a person on his back, and the other follows him.
There was a night fog in the mountains, and it was difficult to see clearly from the distance, but both sides stopped at the same time.
The boy frowned and glanced ahead, silent.
The two sides were at a stalemate for a while.
Stopping on the mountain road, there is no intention of getting closer.
Suddenly, the guard of the Hua family heard a familiar voice, cautiously carrying a tentative female voice. "Who's in front?"
He suddenly stared ahead with wide eyes, and then grabbed another guard beside him and said excitedly: "It's the eldest lady, it's the maid next to the eldest lady!" (To be continued......)
