Chapter 235: Traces of Disappearance

"Actually, I called you down to discuss the matter. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"Let's see how we go?"

Several people at that table gathered together and bowed their heads to discuss.

The guards of the Sea Kingdom heard the conversation at that table clearly, and their expressions changed immediately.

Although they didn't mention their main concerns in the whole conversation, the meaning of the words was clear!

The guard gestured.

After listening carefully for a while, I realized that the people at the table were discussing some details of the road.

He stood up and looked at his two companions and said, "Let's go back first." ”

The three of them quietly left the inn lobby and walked all the way in the direction of the small building.

From a distance, I saw that the lights upstairs were still on, and the sky was still asleep.

The guard said to the two companions, "I have to go this way, the lord has to talk about it." ”

......" When they were talking just now, they mentioned that the meeting place was still in the center of the town. ”

"It looks like I'll send someone to the restaurant tomorrow to guard it."

The guard walked in the courtyard of the inn, and when he heard this, he slowed down and looked at the other two companions and said, "We have all seen it when we passed through the town at that time, and it is the most lively place in the town, and there are many people passing by below. ”

"Yes, it's true that the restaurant is the place where all kinds of news in this town gather and spread."

Several of them were close in opinion.

His companion looked at him and said, "But I heard them mention the area north of the town, we will save more effort tomorrow, just keep an eye on the movement of that area." ”

"Elsewhere?" The companion asked in a low voice, "Shall we continue the search and do it quietly?" ”

"This ...... You have to ask what the Lord means. ”

...... In fact, when they arrived in the town, they had already prepared, and Tianfang took them to roughly find out the scope of this place, and also knew the situation in the town.

In addition, when they chose a place to live, they deliberately found the most suitable inn in the town to stay.

Because this is the largest inn in town, it is also a place where news gathers.

Now that news has arrived, there is even information about the movement of the Pioneer Battalion...... This time, let Tianfang decide the next arrangement.

"I didn't understand one thing, they sent someone to wait in the restaurant again, which was kind of a smokescreen."

The guard changed his words and said, "But the girl who tracked down is so easy to deceive?" ”

The guard said in a somewhat joking tone: "Maybe people have already seen that they are tired of cats!" ”

The companion shook his head and said: "To be able to track all the way from Suzhou to here, it is a great determination, even if you don't wait for the main owner in the town, you will definitely continue to look for it." ”

"You agree with me, I think they're thinking too simply!"

While speaking, the three of them had already walked to the door of the small courtyard.

The figure dangling behind the bushes should be the nursing home of the inn patrolling at night.

The three of them walked in generously, without deliberately sweeping their eyes towards the trees, and then they walked briskly in the direction of the small building.

Guarding Xindao will see Tianfang later, and he needs to report two important things.

One is to secretly act to recruit the pioneer camp first, and the news that they may be sent out of the city tomorrow.

The second is that the group of people they have been paying attention to have indeed found their little master, and they are planning to set up a pretext to secretly leave the town.

Both of these things are very important and cannot be delayed!

In total, the time until dawn is getting shorter and shorter.

When they met their own master in Xiaolou and discussed the itinerary, it was basically about the same time as they arranged their actions.

...... The cold wind is steep, and the east is gradually brightening.

The lobby of the town inn was lit up almost all night.

At this moment, there were guests coming down from the upper floors one after another, passing by the lobby and casually glancing in.

The guards of the Yuwen family were divided into several routes, some of them quietly went to the north of the town, and some of them rushed to the restaurant in the town to continue the action steps discussed yesterday.

They hurried out before a large number of guests left the inn.

Fortunately, in the place where I passed, except for the strange guests, I didn't see the whereabouts of the people from the Hua family.

...... Tian Fang leaned back in his chair and took a nap.

Opening his eyes at this moment, he motioned to the other two guards in the house: "Follow me to the north of the town!" ”

Of the four guards under him, two of them had already gone out in the middle of the night, and the remaining two guards were planning to follow Tianfang's side to run errands today.

...... Although Miss Hua had only slept for two hours, she was refreshed at this time, and the stuffy feeling of many days was swept away.

She stood by the window and looked out, seeing that the sky was very good, she couldn't help but turn her head to look at the maid standing and waiting in the corner of the room and said, "You accompany me today, I want to go to the town for a walk." ”

"Miss, it's not very convenient, there are everyone outside, I heard that there is a lot of chaos in the town."

The maid looked hesitant and persuaded in a low voice, hoping that her young lady would give up this idea.

"War is about to start in the Northlands."

The latter said disapplausively: "It's all here, and I'm still worried about what is messy." ”

She stared at the maid and said, "If you are really not at ease, you might as well think of a way." ”

Miss Hua Jia's eyes swept over the courtyard in front of her, and suddenly she saw someone walking through the path from one side.

The man happened to pass by the clearing directly opposite her window, and saw that she was dressed in women's clothes, but with a hat on her head.

Speaking of the style of this hat, Miss Hua has also seen it in Suzhou City, and it seems that it is lighter here.

"Come and see the hat she's wearing."

Miss Hua stretched out her hand and motioned for the maid to come forward and come to the window to see the girl walking by.

The maid couldn't help but say, "Ah, it's very similar to what we saw in Suzhou City." ”

The girl who passed by should also be a temporary resident of the inn, and I am afraid that she was planning to go out to the street.

After thinking about it, Miss Hua turned her eyes to the maid and ordered: "You go to the nearby street to see if there is a hat of this style, just buy one and put it on." ”

Cover your face, and you don't have so many scruples when you go out for a walk.

The maid hurriedly nodded and said, "Okay, the slave and maid will go now, you wait here for a while." ”

The maid walked out of the door and bumped into the Hua family guard who came back in a hurry, and the two glanced at each other.

She stepped forward and lowered her voice and asked, "Everything is done?" Miss looks very kind at this moment, you hurry up and say something. ”

The guard nodded in response, didn't say much, knocked on the door and walked in.

The maid walked down the stairs of the inn and glanced in through the lobby.

She paused in her footsteps near the doorway, turned her head in a different direction, and walked towards the other side of the inn.

When the carriage came yesterday, she took a closer look.

Seeing that there seemed to be more shops in the area, the maid decided to go and see if there was a hat that her young lady wanted.

It is said that this is a common style in Suzhou City, and I didn't expect it to be the same in a small town.

In addition to the fact that people of different races are more unscrupulous on the street, it seems that many girls who go out and walk will wear this.

...... In the room upstairs of the inn, the Hua family guard stood on one side with his head bowed.

"It's all done?"

The guard raised his head and glanced at his young lady quickly, then lowered his voice and said, "It's all done." ”

"It didn't take much effort, and I was already out with the carriage before dawn," the guard paused and continued, "I guess it's been a long way by now." ”

Miss Hua returned to the table, stretched out her finger and pointed to the bag on the table, turned her eyes to the window and said, "You go and give the rest of the silver, thank them for their help when the matter is successful." ”

The guard stared at her back with complicated eyes, then withdrew his gaze and said, "Yes, here we go." ”

"By the way, did you alert the others at the inn last night?"

"This ......"

The guard said in a stumbling tone: "There is one." ”

Miss Hua frowned and asked, "What person?" ”

The guard looked at her and explained, "We knocked him out at the inn. ”

"He was the only one on duty at the inn last night, and there weren't many guests living there."

Miss Hua asked again, "Are you sure you didn't alarm the other people?" ”

"Well, pretty sure, no!" The guard said in a very affirmative tone.

"That's good!"

...... The young man at the inn woke up in a daze, lying on the bed in the room at the door, without even taking off his clothes.

He was woken up by the cold, and the charcoal basin in the house was extinguished and not added in time, and the house was cold to the bone.

As soon as the young man moved his hands and feet, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

He was sober for a moment, and suddenly his eyes changed.

I remember last night when he walked near the stairs of the inn and suddenly felt a strong blow on the back of his neck, and then he lost consciousness.

What's the situation? Could it be that the inn was robbed last night?

When he rushed out of the house, there was only a faint light in the east, and it was still early.

The young man looked at everything around him, and he didn't seem to be left with any embarrassment at all.

He remembered that the last place he had taken was near the stairs of the inn, and immediately ran towards it.

However, the whole courtyard, even the entire small building, was quiet, and he was alone.

Looking upstairs, there are a few rooms with lights on, probably for early risers.

It's so weird!

The young man stood stunned for a moment, then pulled his legs and ran to the room in the backyard.

The fire had been extinguished, and it was as cold inside the house as it was outside.

The young man looked on the ground and on the stove, and found that the prepared snack was still on the side of the stove, the handiwork of the guest who was going to cook food for his companions in the middle of the night.

The young man remembers, didn't the man say that he wanted to boil medicine?

I came to him at night, and explained the reason, the guest said that he was taking it to the northland, and by the way, they talked about fetching water last night.

At that time, the well water in the yard was frozen, so we had to use the water that had been fetched before.

The young man had planned to make a further round in the inn and bring him water by the way, but he was knocked unconscious when he walked near the stairs.

But there was no trace left on the ground, could it be that the thief in the night knocked himself unconscious and sent him back to the room at the door?

So, where did the guests who boiled the medicine go?

Looking at the kitchen, there is no trace left, why does the whole thing seem so weird?

The young man stood at the door of the kitchen room, staring upstairs with blank eyes, and couldn't figure out the cause and effect in his mind.

He stood still for a few moments before he reached the door of the inn near the alley.

He could see that the door was concealed, which meant that there had indeed been people in and out of the inn in the middle of the night last night.

...... "Have you seen the man who came with me?" ”

Suddenly a voice sounded behind the young man.

He had been staring at the stove in the kitchen, watching the fire slowly come up, and the sudden sound startled him.

The young man stood up in horror and turned his head to look at the guest behind him.

At this moment, the young man who appeared behind him was tall and his face was indifferent.

At this moment, he stood with his hands in his hands, squinted at the young man, and said in a light tone: "The man who came to the town with me is not in the room, have you seen him?" ”

The young man muttered in his heart, Xiaoling's guy disappeared before dawn, could it be that he went to the street to find food?

He planned to ask the young man who worked at the inn first, maybe someone saw Xiaoling's whereabouts.

"See, ah, haven't seen ......"

The young man didn't know how to answer for a moment, and even he himself didn't have a final answer about the things of the night, so would he answer rashly at this time......

The boy just asked casually, but he didn't expect the person doing the inn to react like this.

He was immediately displeased, took a step closer and lowered his voice: "Have you seen it yet, what is your answer!" ”

The young man met his eyes, couldn't help but take a step back, and stammered: "I only saw it once last night, but I didn't see it later......"

The young man approached him, bowed slightly, and said in an indifferent tone, "Oh, is it? ”

"But why do I think you didn't tell me the truth?!"

...... The young man stared at the young man, his face was still cold, and his tone was a little softer: "You tell the story carefully." ”

"I saw the guest who came with you yesterday, but in the middle of the night he came down from the upper stairs to me and said that he wanted to borrow some food from our kitchen, and he said...... It was also said that it was for you. ”

The young man was slightly stunned, then his eyes were fixed on the young man again and asked, "Did he really say that?" ”

"Well, I borrowed it from us and made something to eat, no, it's still on the stove!"

As soon as the young man finished speaking, the young man had already taken a step closer and approached the stove to see clearly.

There are dim sum on the plate, one by one made very small, and it looks like it is indeed Xiaoling's handiwork.

The boy hadn't forgotten that the guy had shown his skills a few times along the way, and that there were no snacks of the same kind in town, at least not before he.

"Later, what about others?" The boy asked in a deep voice.

"You ask me, I really don't know!"

"I heard you say that he wasn't there just now, and when I think about it, I feel a little wrong!" (To be continued.) )
