Chapter 402: The Aftermath of the Turmoil
Yuan Xiu had seen the chaos on the streets with her own eyes, and her previous experience had left a shadow. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Hearing the news at this moment, it immediately evoked her bad memory!
Ah Rong understood her mood at the moment, and stopped talking halfway.
Still, he thought about it and grabbed a special entry point from the conversation just now.
"Yuan Xiu, you almost had an accident on the street, and the person who rescued you didn't stop to talk to you at that time?"
Ah Rong looked at Yuan Xiu with a puzzled look on his face, and couldn't help but ask.
This fact is highly counterintuitive.
When you think about it, it does make people wonder.
Yuan Xiu was stunned for a moment, then looked at Ah Rong and said, "Yes, I thought it was a little strange at the time. ”
She paused after looking down and pondering, and continued: "The man left in a hurry, and soon disappeared. ”
Ah Rong then asked, "Is there anything else unusual?" ”
Yuan Xiu tilted his head and thought for a while, then looked at him and said, "That's it...... At that time, the streets were very chaotic and crowded. ”
There is nothing too special about Yuan Xiu's narration, but Ah Rong heard something unusual from it.
After a short silence, Yuan Xiu looked at him again and said, "Ah Rong, I still feel messy in my heart. ”
"Although you said that Master Wan went out with him, it would be more appropriate to be on the side, but the situation that day was really scary!"
Yuan Xiu was silent for a moment, and said with a worried expression: "If the chaos in Zhennan today is the same as that day......"
The situation is not optimistic!
Yuan Xiu can even imagine the scene of the street.
Ah Rong comforted her and said, "The news here in the house spreads quickly, and it won't take long for us to know the exact news, Yuan Xiu." ”
The two men stood in the courtyard and glanced at each other.
After a while, Ah Rong looked at Yuan Xiu and asked, "Yuan Xiu, you came here...... Didn't your grandpa say anything? ”
Yuan Xiu looked at him with a wry smile and said, "I'm in a hurry, where do I care so much, I just told my grandfather that I have to come to the small courtyard to have a look." ”
"Others don't know, and my grandfather doesn't know, but Ah Rong, you know."
Yuan Xiu paused, and said with emotion: "The matter of our going to Shun'an Hall is not thanks to Xiaolin's help to see a doctor smoothly. ”
Yuan Xiu gritted his teeth and said to Ah Rong: "If this is the case, I can still sit still, and I can still calm down...... Xiao Lin, he is in vain! ”
Ah Rong glanced at her unexpectedly, and only after a moment did he say in a gentle tone: "Don't worry. ”
He thought about it in his heart, looked at Yuan Xiu and said, "If there is no new news after an hour, and they don't come back, then ...... I'll go to the courtyard where the lady lives and ask! ”
"Would you like to go back to the flower garden and come back in an hour?"
Ah Rong said to Yuan Xiu: "You always have to explain a few words to your grandfather." ”
Ah Rong thought for a moment and added, "If he doesn't like what the old man says, you can also talk to him." ”
"There's no need to hide that Xiao Lin helped."
Ah Rongdu felt aggrieved for Xiaolin, and he couldn't get a response for his kindness.
Recalling the attitude of the gardener that day, Ah Rong was inevitably dissatisfied.
Yuan Xiu lowered his voice and said, "Ah Rong, it's not that I want to hide it, it's that Xiaolin has always asked me to hide it." ”
Ah Rong listened, looked at her after thinking about it and shook his head and said, "Yuan Xiu, this time and that time." ”
"If your grandfather even intervenes to stop you from inquiring about the news, you can just tell him directly!"
What if Ah Rong told him the truth?
Yuan Xiu lowered his head, thought about it carefully, looked at Ah Rong and nodded: "I listen to you, go back now, and I'll come back in an hour." ”
She walked to the gate of the west courtyard, turned her head to look at Ah Rong and said, "If there is news in advance, remember to inform me." ”
She thought for a moment, glanced at the door on the west side, and continued to Ah Rong: "Me is the same, if there is new news coming, I will tell you in time." ”
Ah Rong followed to the gate of the courtyard on the west side, thought for a few seconds, and then looked at the back of Yuan Xiu passing through the forest.
She didn't know how to explain to the gardener after she went back, but she had just received the news and hurriedly ran over, and Ah Rong said in her heart that she would definitely ask with the temper of the gardener.
Maybe you'll even say something you don't like!
Ah Rong hesitated, but finally did not close the door.
Xiao Lin went out with Master Wan and the attendants beside Lady Liu, and the current situation was uncertain, and Ah Rong was actually very nervous in his heart.
It's just that in front of Yuan Xiu, who looked flustered, he didn't show it too much.
...... Outside the attic facing the lake in the backyard, Mo Yan has been standing quietly by the lake.
From time to time, his gaze swept across the sky and looked south.
By this time, the news from the street outside had not yet arrived.
What will the pavilion master do, and what kind of step will it go, Mo Yan is not clear.
However, he knew one thing, as long as the pavilion master made a move, that person would definitely be sent out of Northland Town.
As for the rest, he didn't want to think about it.
As long as she leaves Childe's surroundings, and when the matter in the Northland is over, they will be able to leave Sealand and go where they need to go.
Thinking of this, Mo Yan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and his mood was a little lighter.
There have been a few chaos on the streets of Northland Town in the past few days.
In fact, the war is dragging on, which is definitely not a good thing.
Because...... The forces lurking on all sides are ready to move.
When they find an opportunity, they will wait for the opportunity to act.
However, the chaos in the Northland is definitely the most favorable situation for the Pavilion Master.
Because in this context, it is very easy to hide it and not be known to outsiders.
Especially an inconspicuous craftsman in the house, who went out and disappeared in the chaos, what is so strange!
You must know that when there is chaos on the street, the situation gets out of control.
At that time, pedestrians were too busy to take care of themselves, how could they pay attention to a passerby!
Mo Yan thought about it for a while, and guessed in his heart what he would arrange.
After a night of planning, the manpower everywhere must be in place.
...... About half an hour later, a guard came from across the lake to deliver a message.
The man walked across the curved bridge to the outside of the attic, and when he saw Mo Yan, he told him that the empress was in the imperial study at this moment, and he was anxious to discuss things with him.
Mo Yan was surprised in his heart.
The news had not yet arrived, and he did not know what it would be...... The empress sent someone to find it, what was it for?
He hesitated for a moment, and then went back to the attic.
Childe is asleep right now.
The medicine used these days was violent, and Childe's body was so weak that he slept for most of the day.
Mo Yan glanced through the curtain, and then quietly came down from the upper floor.
"Let's go!"
He whispered to the messenger guard.
When the two of them walked to the bridge, there were still a few guards on duty.
Mo Yan stepped forward and said a few words, nothing more than not to let people come over easily, if there is something to do, go to the imperial study to summon him, etc.
Usually every time he left the attic, Mo Yan had a similar advice, and then he followed the visitor to the empress's imperial study.
Mo Yan followed the guards across the curved bridge, and both of them walked quickly.
...... The chaos on the streets gradually subsided, and Master Wan came out from under a hiding roof.
The previous situation was too frightening, especially when the shop caught fire, and a group of people rushed out as if fleeing.
Master Wan temporarily found a corner to hide.
He hid there, watching the crowds, knowing full well that it was definitely not the time to look for someone.
Thinking about it, Xiao Lin and the attendants around Lady Liu are all in the teahouse, and the chaos on the street shouldn't affect them!
Thinking about this, Master Wan's heart settled down a little.
Fortunately, when I stayed in the craftsman's shop, I let Xiaolin and them go to the teahouse, and no matter how chaotic the streets were, the people in the teahouse would definitely not run outside.
When that period of time passes, the order on the streets is restored, and it will be much safer for Xiaolin and them to come out again!
The most regrettable thing is that what was originally given to the craftsman of the shop is now hopeless.
Now...... Not to mention the shop he went to, even the neighboring ones were unlucky!
Master Wan looked at the extinguished fire on the side of the street, as well as the embers...... The fire started inexplicably.
He still feels scared when he thinks about the situation now.
Burning like that does not rule out the possibility of being set on fire.
The people of the yamen should have thoroughly investigated this matter, but it will be difficult to find out the conclusion in a short time.
Master Wan's mind turned, his eyes swept over the teahouse not far away, and after looking at it for a few seconds, he walked along the long street.
...... The streets are filled with frightened people coming and going.
When Master Wan glanced at them, he could see expressions similar to his own on the faces of those people.
Because of its proximity to the battle, Northland has all kinds of people in the town.
When he first arrived in town, Master Wan didn't have a deep impression in his mind.
At that time, he was poisoned in the pioneer camp in the mountains, and it was Xiao Lin and Chen Xiang who brought him in a carriage.
After arriving at the house, he had the opportunity to go out, saw the crowd coming and going on the street, and knew that there were not only ordinary people from Northland Town, but also people of different races who came and went.
He had also been amazed at the sheer number of aliens walking around the town.
In the chaos of the streets, he hid under the eaves and also saw the faces with different appearances mixed in with the crowd.
For this chaos, Master Wan also has his own guesses.
Walking to the boundary of the teahouse, the distance is actually not far.
But in the previous chaos, even if it was just this distance, it was very difficult to break through the crowd.
...... I searched in the teahouse, and I searched up and down the stairs, but I didn't find the two people.
I didn't see the attendants, nor did I see Kobayashi.
Master Wan was surprised, and came out of the building in an instant, and continued to search along the long street.
Could it be ...... Kobayashi followed his attendants and left the teahouse in the midst of the chaos.
There seems to be no convincing reason...... Shouldn't it be safer to stay in a teahouse?
Master Wan searched all the way, turned the corner and walked to another street.
Not long after, he saw a squire running in a panic among the people walking on the street.
Seeing the man's expression, Master Wan immediately chuckled in his heart, and had a very bad premonition.
...... Earlier than expected, Master Wan and his attendants were almost silent on the way back.
The squire's clothes were torn several times.
According to what he told Master Wan, when the streets were chaotic, Xiao Lin rushed out to go to the shop...... This was speculated by the squire.
Later, as soon as he came out of the teahouse, it was so chaotic outside, and Xiao Lin was pushed by the crowd.
The attendant tried to hold him, but unfortunately he didn't have a chance at all, and he was crowded to the side.
There were still people on the street who were injured.
When the situation calmed down a little, the attendants searched all the neighborhoods, but still couldn't find any trace of Xiaolin.
Master Wan's mood can be imagined.
He was repeatedly thinking about where Xiao Lin would go, if he was pushed and injured, at least he could find his whereabouts.
It's not like now, when a mess comes down, and people are gone!
When I go back to the house, I'm afraid the first person I want to see will be Lady Liu.
Master Wan was in a heavy mood, and the attendants walking beside him were also tense.
They detoured from the long street, through the small alleys of the town, until they reached the north of the town.
At the tea stall opposite the house, there are still many people in the town gathered at this time, all discussing what happened just now.
When Master Wan walked over with the attendant, he heard several loud conversations.
"There was chaos in the town the day before, how did you get it today, why are people running into the streets every day?"
"It's really strange that the guards outside the town don't check carefully? How do you put those suspicious people in? ”
Someone lowered his voice and said, "You say, does the matter in the town have anything to do with the aliens?" ”
"Shhhh
"There is a fire in the town today, I heard that the shops in the south of the town have been burned, who did it, but the people from the yamen have arrested a group of people."
"Can you interrogate the results? It's hard to say! ”
...... Master Wan's footsteps couldn't help but stop, and when he heard those people talking, he was in a trance.
The attendant had already walked some distance to the other side of the street, looked back at Master Wan, and called him.
When the two entered the mansion through the side door, the guards on duty at the door invariably focused their attention on the two of them.
When I went out in the morning, I was still refreshed, and I was embarrassed to come back at this time!
The attendant entered the courtyard, looked at Master Wan, and said in a solemn tone: "Master Wan, you can't go back first, or follow me directly to see Master Liu and tell me what happened." ”
"The missing person also has to be reported to facilitate the follow-up search, what do you see?"
Hearing this, Master Wan looked at the attendant and nodded, "I'll go with you to see Master Liu, just go directly." ”
He hadn't figured out how to tell Ah Rong yet, and he really didn't want to go back to the courtyard at this time!
...... In a daze, I could feel the jolting beneath me.
Subconsciously, I can perceive ...... It seems to be walking on a rugged mountain road.
I would love to open my eyes and look around.
It's a pity that the eyelids are too heavy to open no matter how hard I try.
