Chapter 396: Must Be Thorough
The guards listened quietly, silently looking at the sky.
I have been with the master of such a habit as Tianfang for a long time, and my ears and eyes have been touched, adding a calm atmosphere.
Thinking back then, when I was in the special training of the Sea Country Guard Battalion, I was much younger.
Over the years, it can be described as a rebirth. "It is already the fastest way to get to the south of Zealand by boat."
It was expected to go south before, and Tianfang had already weighed the way to travel.
In the end, Tianfang finally decided to choose to take the waterway, and still had to pass through the most dangerous section of water in the deep valley outside Suzhou.
In the eyes of many people, the rugged mountain road takes more time than the overland route to South Zealand, and there is no doubt that the waterway is the quicker way.
Tianfang glanced at him from the corner of his eye, and then said in a calm tone: "If there is new news in Suzhou City, you must send a message to inform me in time, don't delay!" “
The guard thought for a moment, and a pair of eyes were always focused on Tianfang's body, listening to his advice, he immediately responded: "Yes, the subordinates know, please rest assured, Lord." “
The guards immediately made assurances.
Even if it is not said in the sky, it is the duty of a subordinate to inform the latest trends in Suzhou City, including the progress of finding that little junior sister.
There is no need to say much about these things.
What's more, the few of them set off from the capital of Sealand to Suzhou together, and they have been together on the ship for a few days, and there is no news from the little junior sister so far, and this matter also makes the two guards suspenseful.
Anyway, there's always a place to go. How is it possible that the whereabouts are completely hidden and there is no clue to be found?
There is nothing more strange about what the guards said than this! "Wait until someone is found. According to the original plan, escort her directly to the Northland," Tianfang got up, left the desk and walked to the window, his eyes passing over the courtyard.
After a while, he turned his head to the guard and said, "You must be thoughtful." “
Tianfang's tone was a little depressed. The light from the window reflected on his face, and the expression in his eyes was incomprehensible: "If it weren't for something happening to the south, I was going to personally escort her to the north." Until the whole body retreats. “
After speaking, he reached out and pushed his forehead, with a vague tired expression, and the satellite guard followed him. Not for a moment.
Tianfang's eyes looked deep into the courtyard. After a long time, he lowered his voice and muttered, "It seems that it won't work now!" “
There was news coming from the south of Xilan, invisibly urging Tianfang to go south as soon as possible to deal with it.
These things happened to be in the battle situation in the north, and the little junior sister couldn't find her whereabouts, thinking about it carefully, it was inevitable that people would think about it.
It seems to be too coincidental to say, and there are some inexplicable feelings.
This feeling is not only in the sky. The rest of the people did the same.
The guards were surprised to hear this, and their eyes kept staring at Tianfang's body.
They were all speculating about the Lord's true intentions. Since the departure from the capital of the country, I have been trying to figure out the Lord's intentions in private.
At this moment, when they suddenly heard the Lord say the original plan in such a straightforward tone, the guards were still a little stunned.
For a while, he stood in the study and was so stunned that he forgot to answer the words he answered.
He lowered his head, and a thought repeatedly turned in his heart, that little junior sister, luck is inevitably too good.
The Lord really has her in mind!
So much so that even the people below were not at ease, if it weren't for the accident in the south of Sealand, the Lord would have made up his mind to send her to the northland.
Personally escorted - that little junior sister has such a big face!
The guard was in mixed spirits and stood there without saying a word.
Tianfang, who was beside him, sensed the other party's emotions, left the windowsill, walked up to him and said, "I don't want to hide this from you." “
Tianfang glanced at him coldly: "Do you know what I mean?" “
The guards only reacted at this time, and one of the spirits looked at their master, and then whispered: "Your subordinates understand what you mean, and they will do their best to protect that one as they protect the master." “
These words are not reluctant, they are all subordinates who have followed Tianfang for a long time, and they should share his worries. "That's right," Tianfang nodded with satisfaction and looked at him fixedly, "It's good to understand." “
"What I mean, you also have to make it clear to the people from the national capital."
If this group of people is consistent in their words and deeds, they all value this matter, and if there are small words, they must also use the power of heaven to suppress it.
As a subordinate, obeying orders is the first priority.
Tianfang walked to the desk, and when he sat down again, he stretched out his hand and knocked on the table and said, "Be sure to keep an eye on the movements in Suzhou City." ”
After a few words of gossip, the guard prepared to leave the study, and before leaving, Tianfang called him again and said: "The room in the backyard must be cleaned every day, and if someone arrives, they can move in immediately." “
Several guards have seen the furnishings in the room, and they have spent their time participating in them.
The guard agreed, and finally walked out of the study.
It wasn't until he walked into the courtyard that the guard let out a long breath, and just now there was a suppressed tension in his heart, worried that the Lord would change his mind.
In the past, the lord said the same, but this time in Suzhou, there were too many accidents.
There are so many unexpected circumstances that make them subordinates suspicious, and one by one they are worried that the Lord will change their minds.
Fortunately, after careful consideration, the Lord still insisted on the plan to go south tonight and did not change!
The guard stood in the courtyard for a moment, and walked towards the side house in the front yard.
There's a group of companions over there discussing things.
The guard gently pushed the door open and walked slowly inside, and with the sound of his footsteps stepping into the border of the house, a group of people looked at him in unison.
Being watched by so many pairs of eyes at the same time, the guard's throat tightened, and he couldn't help coughing.
Glancing around the table, the guard picked a place to sit down.
He didn't have to wait long for the people around the table to ask him about his previous conversation with the Lord.
Hearing that the dust had settled, Tianfang did not change the original plan. They still chose to set off at sunset today, and they were all relieved.
Everyone's reaction was expected by the guards, and they had the same thoughts as him. I'm afraid that the Lord will change his mind.
Before the arrival of the dark piles in the national capital city, there were still doubts, but now it is completely certain!
The next wine, the people in the room drank a lot more comfortably.
In the conversation, the topic of discussion shifted from the little junior sister to the situation in the north.
The dark pile from the national capital was deeply impressed by the scene of Wang Shi leaving the capital that day, and he had to mention it at this time.
Although the guards of Suzhou City were also near the national capital for a few days. However, it is far from the downtown area.
Before heading north to Suzhou, they were all doing their best to prepare for their departure, and it took a lot of time to set up the boat alone.
They didn't see it with their own eyes. At this time, when I heard my companion mention it, several people's expressions were very focused. "Did the Lord mention that why did the king go around Suzhou City and pass through the city without entering?"
One of them couldn't help but ask. There was a brief silence in the room.
The Suzhou City guard took a sip of his wine glass. Then he said in a calm tone: "The Lord did not talk about the reason, but according to the Lord's speculation, although Wang Shi chose to settle in a place far away from the national capital, he will definitely take action next." "There will definitely be people in the army who will come to Suzhou City." The dark stake from the capital city looked at him intently, and echoed the words, "I have the same opinion as the Lord. "Are the ships ready for the south?" The questioner paused slightly, then continued, "Have you ever confirmed?" “
When it comes to the brothers in the south, everyone has to be concerned. It's another focus right now.
Put yourself in the shoes of those people in the south, but in just half a month. "If you need help, please don't hesitate to ask." “
The guard thought for a while, and said with a somewhat gloomy look in his eyes: "The most helpful thing is that after we leave, the brothers can help find the little sister of the Lord." “
Once again, the conversation turned back to the Lord's primary concern, but not surprisingly.
The few people sitting around the room had a tacit understanding with each other, and nodded in unison in an instant
The sound of intermittent conversation came from the window, and the corners of the mouths of the people pacing in the courtyard moved slightly, looking at the sky, and smiling lightly
The guard, Ah Lai, parked the car where I said.
Yuan Bao and I got off the carriage first, I stood on the street and glanced at the lively Suzhou Street, looked back at Yuan Bao and asked, "The last time I came out, I was almost always looking at the pharmacy on the street. “
I squinted my eyes and said, "Yuanbao, I plan to go to the teahouse in Suzhou City today, which one is the best in the west of the city?" ”
Yuan Bao lowered his head and thought for a while: "Childe, let's go forward and cross an intersection." ”
"There are several teahouses in the west of the city that are doing good business," Yuan Bao said in a changing tone, "but that one is closer to us." ”
"If you don't want to walk too far, it's fine to go there."
He looked at me seriously and said.
"Okay, you lead the way, I'll follow." I nodded immediately, "Wait a minute." ”
I turned and walked to the carriage, and Ah Lai got out of the carriage, ready to find a free place to park the carriage.
"Will you follow us to the teahouse, or will you stay in the carriage and wait for us?"
I glanced at him and asked in a calm tone.
The guard thought for a moment and immediately replied, "I still have to follow Childe." "The Fu steward explained that he was too small, and whenever he went out, he had to follow the son, for your safety."
"But this is the most lively street in Suzhou, no better than going back to eat in the deep alleys," I asked him, "There are so many people here, are you sure you want to follow?" ”
The guard insisted, "Follow along, if you don't mind." ”
"I don't mind, but I'm going to the teahouse later, maybe stay for an hour or two, I'm afraid you'll be bored with you."
I can tell that the guard's personality is completely different from that of ingots.
Cheng Yuan Bao is happy to follow me to the teahouse, listen to the gossip over there, he himself has a lot of words.
As soon as I said the location of the teahouse, Yuan Bao smiled when he heard it.
I look like I'm happy to go!
Ah Lai's personality is more introverted, and it seems that he doesn't like to get involved in these things.
"Childe, don't worry, the guards actually go to the teahouse often." "We were in the teahouse by the stone bridge that day, although he felt bored, didn't he sit quite comfortably all the time?"
Yuan Bao walked up to us and interjected.
They are on the same page, and I have no reason to object to it.
The three of them walked through the crowded street and walked in the direction of the teahouse that Yuan Bao said.
Walking on the streets of Suzhou, a thought came to my mind, as if every time I returned to a place to listen to some news, the teahouse is always the most suitable place.
Past experience tells me that everywhere I go, there are people coming and going in the teahouse, and the topics discussed are always the most and most complicated.
In particular, the section related to current affairs is one of the most popular topics in the teahouse.
I think Suzhou City is a bit of a storm, and I'm afraid I can't hide the people who come and go in the teahouse.
Yuan Bao approached me and said, "Childe, the business of the teahouse we went to has always been very good, if there is no private room, will you think?"
It seems that there was some misunderstanding in between.
Yuan Bao thought that I went out today to pick a more lively place in the west of the city, and I planned to overlook the street scene in the teahouse, so as to observe the people passing by on the street!
It's just that I came out this time, not for my senior brother and his subordinates.
Because I had a hunch that it was so hard to meet before, it seemed that I shouldn't have too much hope.
It's better to do what I want to do first, and the top priority is to find out some news from outside the city, preferably related to Wang Shi.
Calculate their itinerary, no matter what, it should be to the boundary of Suzhou, if they are delayed, what is the situation?
Did the doctors who were invited away in Suzhou City also be taken to Wang Shi's garrison by people from the government?
I can't help but think that.
When I think about it, I feel like I'm stuck in it, and it's a bad feeling.
"It's okay, Yuanbao, you can sit anywhere," I adjusted my mood and glanced at Yuanbao to answer, "It would be best if there was a seat near the window, but it didn't matter whether it was a private room or a lobby, in fact, it would be fine." ”
Walking near the mouth of the alley, I raised my eyes and saw the signboard of the teahouse, I turned my head to the guard Ah Lai who followed and said, "This way, I will go to the teahouse with Yuanbao first." "Ah Lai, you can help me look around here and find something"
Ah Lai was silent, his eyes fixed on me in contemplation, and then he replied in a low voice, "Yes." ”
I went up to the second floor of the teahouse with Yuanbao.
This teahouse is built with a high ceiling, looking higher than the average building, with a wide view and bright light.
The upper half is divided into adjoining private rooms, and the remaining half is the same as the downstairs lobby, where about a dozen square tables are placed.
The teahouse guy who received us said in an embarrassed tone: "Childe, the private rooms are full today." ”
"It's okay, just sit outside, but it's better to pick a table facing the street."
Yuan Bao saw that I didn't speak, so he took the initiative to talk to the guy in the teahouse. (To be continued......)
