I looked at him speechlessly, and the guard Ah Lai also glanced at the ingots fixedly.

Later, I looked away with him, looking a little helpless.

He still didn't understand what I meant, but I knew the guards did.

After thinking about it, I made a silent gesture towards the ingot, and then a thought suddenly popped up in my heart.

I knocked on my forehead and immediately turned behind me to signal the guard Ah Lai, raised my eyebrows and looked at him, "It's better for you to lead the way in front and change positions with Yuanbao." ”

Standing on the lively streets of Suzhou City, as soon as I finished saying that, I immediately made a gesture.

The guards did as they were told, and Yuan Bao had a somewhat inexplicable expression on his face. "Let's go, let's not stop here, the streets are crowded, people come and go." I looked away, lowered my head, and whispered. "Childe, hey, the direction is wrong, why are you still going in the direction of the south gate?"

Yuanbao's footsteps froze, his face changed instantly, and his gaze at me was quite complicated.

He couldn't understand the two of us at all, and he couldn't help but run up to him and ask when he could see the direction we were walking. "Right now it's in Suzhou City," I stopped and looked sideways at Yuanbao, raising my eyes to meet his doubtful gaze, and said in a serious tone. "If we don't keep walking," I paused and continued, "how do you know if the person who is following us is real?" “

My gaze fell on his face, and after frowning and pondering for a moment, I said slowly to the ingot, "And their intentions." Followed us all the way to the vicinity of the South Gate, aren't you curious? "I'm not curious, Childe's safety comes first."

Yuan Bao does not think about it. Answer me categorically.

"But I'm curious, so I just want to keep walking." I pursed my lips at Shang Yuanbao's gaze and said, "It's just that it's in the area of the south gate, and you won't go out of the city gate, so you don't have to worry." ”

"I said that I would cancel the idea of going to the dock for the time being, and I will discuss it later."

Yuan Bao frowned, looking at my face. I realized that if I continued to talk about it, it would be unpleasant.

He wondered if I might be able to drive him back to the castle mansion, and he thought for a moment before lowering his head and deciding not to speak again.

In the afternoon of Suzhou City, it was not yet sunset.

The winter sun shines on the streets. shone on the faces of those bustling passers-by, and the bodies were plated with a faint layer of gold.

Although it looks lively, it is also a scene of peace and stability in the present world. I'm probably the only one who doesn't think so.

I know that the guard Ah Lai who is following me may also have the same thoughts as me.

Quietly walked forward for a moment. I shouted, Ah Lai glanced at him and asked, "The person who is following is still there?" ”

I asked very quietly, and the guard heard it and nodded lightly at me.

I raised my voice a little and asked, "Ah Lai, is there a better blacksmith shop in Suzhou City?" ”

I asked this sentence because I had stayed in the town before coming to Suzhou.

Although I saw that there were also shops that made simple self-defense tools, it was obviously not very to my liking.

I'm thinking, Suzhou City is so big, it must have more resources than a small town. Guarding Alai will also know more about this aspect than Yuanbao.

"Yes, Childe." The guard thought about it carefully and said to me, "After I go to the vicinity of the south gate, I will take you to the blacksmith shop." ”

Yuan Bao blinked behind him, and almost said the words, "Why do you want to go to the blacksmith shop, why don't you go to the mansion and ask the third young master directly".

He simply endured it and silently followed us on.

The footsteps of the three people were getting closer and closer to the area around the South Gate.

When I arrived here, I found that the lively scenes I had seen before were not enough, and this was the most lively place on the street today.

So many people came out of nowhere for no reason, and it wasn't just me who stood on the street corner, but even the guards and ingots frowned.

"It's really strange today, it's not a New Year's holiday, why are there so many people around the South Gate?"

Yuan Bao looked across the street, muttered in a low voice, walked up to me and said in a low voice: "Childe, you have seen it, why don't you go back now!" “

His heart always revolves around the word safety, Yuan Bao is timid, and he is also worried that something will happen, and his third young master will blame him.

I shook my head and asked the guard next to me, "I want to go forward a little further, are you sure, in case there is a situation, can you escort us to retreat?" ”

The reason why I ask this is because my intuition since walking the rivers and lakes tells me once again that it must be unusual, just look at the scene in front of me.

Ask the guard Alai, I know he won't exaggerate.

He would gauge the situation, and if he wasn't sure, he would have refused.

The guard frowned and looked at the streets in front of him, his eyes swept over the buildings on the side of the streets, and after a moment he told me in a positive tone, "Childe, there is no problem in the city. "At the moment, it seems that there are not many people following us." Escort Alai said in a calm tone.

"Besides, the terrain in this area is also good for hiding," he continued, after a pause, "if there is a change, you can find a place to take shelter temporarily." ”

"Okay, then move on." I'll answer right away.

The ingots behind him didn't hold back, and unwillingly stomped on the ground with his feet, but in the end he reluctantly followed.

I glanced at it, a smile crossed my lips, and I immediately retracted my smile.

Wang Shilun should have arrived in Suzhou, there is no news at the moment, how is it possible?

I had my own plan in mind, and I still didn't stop.

Since the front is the most lively center, it means that there is really a change, and it will definitely be in the area of the south gate.

It is also very reasonable to say, because the shortcut to Suzhou outside the city, and the water and land connections are the most convenient in the south.

If the king wants to enter the city or there is new news, this will be a necessary passage.

As I pondered, I saw a carriage with the official mark slowly coming from inside the city gate.

When I entered the city, I disappeared into one of the streets, and I made up my mind. asked the guard Ah Lai, who was also standing beside him and staring, "They should be going in the direction of the Suzhou Mansion, right?" ”

The guard nodded, not denying it.

By the way, what should come will come eventually. But sooner or later, my mood suddenly became extraordinarily calm

The carriage passed by the stone bridge connecting the east and west of Suzhou City, and the man sitting in the carriage lifted the curtain and looked out.

The man was middle-aged, thin, dressed in a dark robe, and carried a chest with him in the carriage.

It's none other than the well-known Dr. Qian in the east of Suzhou.

He didn't look very good. Seeing the familiar scenery of the eastern boundary of the city outside, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The person driving the car is almost a stuffy gourd.

Dr. Qian knew in his heart that the coachman was a member of the government, and he must have been told not to say much.

The other party had to obey the order of the upper peak and remain silent. So when I came back along the way, I was only interested in the clatter of the horses' hooves and the sound of wheels passing along the trail.

I can't hear the other person say a word more.

When the carriage was about to approach Suzhou City, the coachman bypassed the official road and chose another path to enter through the city gate where pedestrians were relatively deserted.

It seems to have deliberately detoured the way. It is not clear what the coachman thinks. Dr. Qian guessed that it was probably instructed by the top.

Dr. Qian glanced out of the car window, then lowered the curtain and closed his eyes, and soon he would arrive at the eastern boundary of Suzhou City.

The street where his house was located was not far away, and he finally came back safely.

When the previous colleagues from Suzhou City were sent back to the city first, Dr. Qian was left alone and could not leave.

He was nervous, not knowing what would await him next.

Even if he is a doctor with a certain reputation in Suzhou City. However, when it comes to contact with people in the government, there are few people who are not nervous!

At this time, it can be regarded as a smooth return to Suzhou. His hanging heart was completely relaxed.

Although from time to time in his mind he still recalls what he had experienced earlier

Thinking about it, Dr. Qian's eyes swept over the medicine box that he had followed for many years.

There is one more thing in it, which is the "consultation fee" given for this outing, which is considered a reward.

But only he knew that the reward was very strange, because he didn't really do anything at all.

"Doctor Qian, it's here."

The coachman who was driving the carriage said a few words, and then stopped the carriage and came down first.

When Dr. Qian also got out of the carriage, the coachman did not say a word, and immediately got back into the carriage and returned the same way.

Dr. Qian stood at the door of his house, carrying the medicine box on his back, and his expression was a little dazed for a moment.

Not long after, there was a shout from the street corner.

"Doctor Qian, are you back?" The little guy who stepped forward hurriedly said, "We are from the Yuwen family, and we have been waiting for you here for a long time." ”

"There is a guest at home who overturned her car during her trip to Beilang Mountain and injured her leg, can you go there and treat her."

After hearing this, Dr. Qian nodded after being stunned for a moment.

He recognized the clothes of the Yuwen family, and the people below were not the first to come back to invite him.

Doctor Qian did not doubt him, and looking at the anxious expressions of these two people, it was about the task that their little master had pressed down, and he did not dare to disobey what was to be done immediately.

He has dealt with the people of the Yuwen family a lot and has become accustomed to the other party's work style.

A few days ago, when I heard that the third young master of the Yuwen family had come back from Xilannan again, Dr. Qian had a premonition in his heart, and he hoped that he would meet someone over there in the next few days.

Now, the premonition came true

Doctor Qian followed the two people of the Yuwen family who were guarding the door and waited for him until now, and finally the people who waited for him to come back approached the gate of the Yuwen family.

As with the impression of the past, the elegant and tranquil courtyard has a relaxing feeling at a glance.

The courtyard of Yuwen's family is extremely large, occupying almost half of the street in the east of Suzhou City.

Dr. Qian knew that the high courtyard wall outside cut off the scene inside, and only when he walked in would he discover the beauty of the house.

As he walked, he subconsciously glanced at the scenery around him.

The number of people under the Yuwen family is very small compared to this house, and there are many large families in the east of the city.

Dr. Qian has lived in the east of the city for many years, so he naturally knows very well in his heart, and when he was taken all the way to the north of the house, he suddenly remembered a question.

So, he took two steps forward, followed the subordinate who brought him and asked, "How is the injury of the son who was injured in hunting in Beilang Mountain?" Are people awake? “

The little girl paused, looked at Dr. Qian and scratched his head apologetically: "It's the little one who didn't tell you clearly, Dr. Qian, I'm sorry, that is not a son, she is a guest of our family, she is a young lady." “

Dr. Qian was taken aback, and subconsciously asked, "But the young lady of the Hua family?" "Yes, yes, that's her," replied the little servant at once, "and when she went to Beilang Mountain, the carriage accidentally overturned, so she was injured in the leg. “

After saying this, the little girl thought for a while and said, "People should be sober, our third young master brought her back." "Doctor Qian, in fact, as soon as the third young master returned to the city, he went to your house to look for you," the little guy stood up and explained the reason to him, "It just so happens that you are not here, and the third young master is not at ease, so let us wait for you to come back at the door." “

Doctor Qian was stunned when he heard what he said, he didn't react at once, his eyes were a little confused in an instant, and after a short while, his face sank and he was silent.

He finally grasped the clue, and at first he misunderstood.

He thought that the guests brought by the little master of the Yuwen family were young men of the same age as him, but he didn't think about it

He really dealt with that Miss Hua family, and he met it two years ago, hey, it's really not a good memory.

This time I went to help her see a doctor, I don't know what the situation will be?

Doctor Qian lowered his head, and the little guy couldn't see his eyes clearly.

Why did the young lady of the Hua family go to Beilang Mountain again, most of them for the little master of this family.

Dr. Qian knew about those rumors, and he had been in and out of Yuwen's house many times, and he heard some of them intentionally or unintentionally.

At this moment, his pace slowed down a little, and he looked preoccupied.

The one who led him to the Magnolia Hall was one of the two servants waiting for him.

The other had already taken a step forward to report to his third young master when they came to Yuwen's side.

Many of the people under the Yuwen family are a little discerning, each performing their own duties, and the division of labor is clear and efficient.

When Dr. Qian bypassed the rockery, crossed the path, and walked to the forest near the Magnolia Hall, the north wind blew the branches and made a sound.

When I looked up, a man came through the opposite path.

Dr. Qian immediately stopped, faced the direction of the visitor, and lowered his head.

The young man approached slowly, and seeing that his face was quite calm, he fixed his mind and said, "Doctor Qian, you have worked hard to make a trip." ”

"Third Young Master, you're polite," he still lowered his head, knowing that the other party would definitely have something to say next. "Doctor Qian, the guest of my house, you also know, is that one."

The young man deliberately avoided the name of Miss Huajia, he knew that even if he didn't say it, the doctor in front of him was a smart person with a sharp reaction, and he must know who he was referring to! (To be continued......)
