Outside the window, the sun began to set in the west.

In the big kitchen, Mama saw that Adele had been silent since she came back.

I saw her busy figure shuttling through the kitchen, carefully sorting out the items on the table.

Seeing her delicate cooking ingredients, she was busy boiling the broth.

Day after day, after Chef Chen left, the large kitchen of Yuwen's family unconsciously achieved Ade's more and more superb cooking skills.

However, compared with her dexterous movements, today's Adele looks sullen from the moment she steps into the door of the big kitchen.

The aroma of the ingredients slowly spreads in the large kitchen, making you feel hungry when you smell it!

Mama looked at Adele a few times, but she still couldn't help but walk over and ask, "Ade, did you have something to do when you went to Qingyin Pavilion?" ”

Hearing Mama's question, Adai temporarily stopped what she was doing, shook her head at her and said, "Mama, when I went to Qingyin Pavilion to clean, my brother and Lin Gongzi were not there. "They went out and haven't come back."

Ah Dai blinked and said, "I met the third young master in the Qingyin Pavilion, but he didn't say anything, just asked a few random questions." ”

"That's someone from the Magnolia Hall who came to you?"

Mama couldn't think of the reason why the little girl was depressed, so she took a closer look at her and roughly guessed and asked.

Looking at Adele's appearance, it is clear that she has something on her mind.

"It's not," Ah Dai raised her head and glanced at Mama, and answered, "Although the people in Yulantang were not very happy when I sent the snacks over, I told them about Lin Gongzi's reminder. ”

"You used his name. Wouldn't the people of Magnolia Hall be unhappy? Mama was stunned, and her heart suddenly tightened.

"You're joking, of course I said I thought about it." Adele said busily. "The original words were told to me by Lin Gongzi."

"I told the people in Yulantang that I was afraid that the decoction prescribed by the doctor would conflict with the meal, so I only made dim sum."

Adele thought for a while and said, "Probably they also think it makes sense, and they don't mean to embarrass me." ”

Adele lowered her head as she spoke.

Mama couldn't figure it out, looked at Adele and asked, "It's not, could it be that you heard the gossip of the people in the yard?" ”

During this time, since the third young master arrived in the east of Suzhou City. The gossip in the house never stopped.

Especially about the Lin Gongzi he brought who lived in Qingyin Pavilion.

There is a lot of discussion underneath, and it will inevitably get into Ade's ears.

Mama knew that Ah Dai and her brother Yuanbao were working in Qingyin Pavilion, and she had a good impression of that Lin Gongzi.

Hence the gossip of the yard heard. Especially if there are some slanderous words, it is possible that Adele is unhappy.

"Mama," Adele hesitated for a moment before saying, "Steward Fu came to me." I just asked about the third young master and the Lin Gongzi of Qingyin Pavilion. ”

"Is there something wrong?" Mama looked at her. Looking at Ade, Adai asked again

Several guards from the Chengdong Mansion took the lead.

Several people got into a carriage and headed for the wharf by the river in the south of Suzhou City.

I went to the dock for the sake of the things that Tianfang was about to go south.

Naturally, the ship's escort to the south of Sealand had already been prepared.

They need to check the configuration of the ship in advance before the sunset is released.

From Suzhou to South Zealand, even if the boat does not stop, it will take a lot of time to go south today.

The distance between them is long, and the matter in the south needs to be dealt with urgently.

Therefore, it is necessary to be careful in preparing before leaving.

When the carriage passed by the door of the east house in Suzhou. Just in time, I met the people of the Yuwen family who came out.

The guide who intercepted Dr. Qian at the door of Qian's house in the east of the city sent Dr. Qian out of the door of Yuwen's house at this time.

The wind outside blew the curtain of the carriage.

One of the guards sitting in the carriage habitually squinted his eyes sideways and looked out of the window. Glancing down the street.

After fixing his gaze for a few seconds, the guard glanced at the people on the street.

After a moment, he retracted his gaze and said to his companion: "Will the Lord change the time of boarding the ship because of the matter of that little junior sister?" “

"The few people locked up in the dungeon can't interrogate any new tricks," the companion continued after a pause in the middle of his sentence, "knowing everything is endless, and even if it is tortured, it will not force more useful questions." ”

To this point, it is already the limit.

Even if a human life is really killed, the truth may not be investigated.

The breakthrough point of this moment is not on the people in the dungeon! "There is no new news from the post station outside the city," his companion replied to him, "and I haven't heard of any trace of the little junior sister appearing, including Wang Shi." “

He sighed softly and said, "It's a good thing that there is no new news for the time being, at least I estimate that there should be no changes in the Lord's southward movement this time!" “

As he spoke, his companion who answered him also saw the middle-aged doctor walking on the corner of the street with a medical kit on his back.

The man walked in a hurry, probably because he was in a hurry and needed to go to the doctor.

Whenever they go out, it is their consciousness as a guard to pay attention to the movements around them at any time, and they will always pay attention to the surrounding situation intentionally or unintentionally.

I've been doing things under the sky for a long time, and I've become more sensitive.

However, the guard's gaze was only a casual glance, and he didn't pay much attention to the passer-by.

The two men have similar opinions.

Except for the medicine box on the person's back, which is a bit eye-catching, his own appearance will not make people particularly concerned, and his temperament looks like a doctor, and there is no abnormality.

The guards around Tianfang have excellent eyesight and know that they can't disguise themselves!

As the carriage moved forward, the scene just now did not attract much attention, and was quickly forgotten by them.

Turning a long street, the guard said in a firm tone: "The brothers who have been planted in the capital city have come to Suzhou City, and we can breathe a sigh of relief, including the Lord." ”

"I don't believe that so many people can still find no trace of that person in Suzhou City."

Suzhou City is not small, but it is not bigger than the national capital. The two are not comparable.

Since the dark piles are easy to use in the national capital, I believe they will have two brushes to find someone.

Before the support arrived, Suzhou City had limited manpower. Now this problem has been solved!

There is no need to worry about manpower, the help is in place! "You and I think we can find it, but there is no definite news for a day, and the heart of the Lord is still uncertain."

"You have to wait for the exact news, and the Lord will be relieved!"

The guard glanced at his companion and said, "Actually, in my opinion, it's just a matter of time. ”

"You think. The one who is going to the Northland, sooner or later, he will run into the people of the king's master. “

At this point, Tianfang once clearly informed all of them in the east mansion of Suzhou.

Because his little sister's plan before setting off from the national capital was definitely not Suzhou. It's just a stopover in between.

The real destination has always been the Northlands, where the two armies face each other. "According to what you say, it seems that the person who is planted on the side of the king will find the trace of that little junior sister faster than the brother from the national capital?"

The companion frowned, his face was gloomy, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes. "I've always felt that way."

The guard replied without hesitation. "I just can't understand why the little junior sister in the Lord is so persistent?" "As soon as the war in the Northland began. Everyone else is too late to dodge, but she has to catch up. “

There was a brief silence in the carriage, and the guards thought without speaking.

The deep reason will not be revealed, and they have no way of knowing.

But there is another key point, which several people know.

That is, Tianfang specially arranged manpower, and after finding his little sister, he needed to escort her to the Northland safely.

It's best to get things done as soon as possible and get out of the way.

The war in the Northland is in chaos. Swords and guns have no eyes, this is the most dangerous place! "That's right. I heard that the boatman who went south this time was found in Suzhou City? “

After a few moments, the guard spoke again, retracting his thoughts and breaking the deadlock.

When several of them left the east house in Suzhou before leaving, they asked by the way, so they knew. "That's right, because it was more dangerous when we followed the Lord through the waters near Suzhou last time," the guard said with palpitations, "The wind and waves met the whirlpool rapids. "This time, I was more cautious and simply found a local boatman who is familiar with the area to take the helm."

This is the meaning of the heavenly release, and the experienced local boatmen are more familiar with the waters than the guards. "Could it be that the Lord plans to let the boatman follow us all the way south?"

Some of them have talked to Tianfang more often, and they know more about what happened than other companions.

The guard shook his head and met the gaze of his companion, and replied calmly: "That's not true, the Lord means that his duty is to help us get through that dangerous situation." "When he is in a safe place, let him come back, he is hard to run, but the reward is also indispensable for him."

The boatmen of Suzhou City were happy to follow them across the dangerous beach, not for the sake of silver!

Sailing on the water and begging for a living in the waves has always been a very risky livelihood.

This time the search was urgent, and the price was quite high, so that the boatman was willing to take the risk to go.

The sound of conversation was intermittent, accompanied by the sound of horses' hooves, all the way to the direction of the South Gate Wharf

Inside the teahouse, my eyes were always fixed on the city gate.

I have a lot of vision, but there are many places to keep an eye on.

Especially in the crowded area around the South Gate, it is not easy to find my target from the crowd.

I looked at the people on the surrounding roads, and I also saw the people sitting at the tea stall near the city gate.

A pair of eyes pay attention to the movement outside the window, the same as me, and the guard Alai, but the ingots are more leisurely than us.

Gradually, my eyes began to focus on one place.

That's right, there is a tea stall not far from the South City Gate.

It looks like a place to sell coarse tea and simple sweets.

Coarse tea is the kind of tea that can only be used to quench thirst that can be seen at those tea stalls on the mountain road of the post station.

The so-called simple dim sum is usually steamed buns or flower rolls, and it only needs to be steamed and not too laborious.

Such tea stalls provide passers-by with a temporary rest, and the price of selling tea and snacks is cheap, and anyone can afford it.

Naturally, guests who stop to consume will not care whether the taste of the tea is sweet or not, and whether the dim sum is delicious.

It's just a break.

I'll notice that the guy at that tea stall is credited to a guest sitting there.

Because that person's outfit is really a little suspicious.

Several waves of people came and went, and he sat there all the time, looking at it as if he was resting.

You must know that the biggest feature of this kind of tea stall is that the guests stay for a short time!

Once the seeds of doubt were planted, the more I looked at the tea stall, the more I couldn't turn away from my sight.

I don't know if it's the experience I have accumulated from walking outside, but I always feel that the figure sitting there drinking tea and not moving much looks a little different from the pedestrians around me!

It also looks different from the rest of the customers who stop at the tea stall.

And I could always sense that there seemed to be someone in the distance staring in the direction we were.

I was about to ask the guard, Ah Lai, when there was a knock on the door of the private room of the teahouse.

The guards reacted faster than I did!

He reached out and pressed his hand, and quickly dodged to the door of the private room.

The knock on the door sounded unhurriedly, followed by a crisp voice: "Childe, the refreshments you asked for are here." ”

We all breathed a sigh of relief, the guard went over and opened the door, and the young man grinned and brought in the refreshments and put them on the table.

Before he exited, he glanced at the window and said, "It's very lively by the south gate today." ”

When the door of the private room closed again, Yuan Bao looked at the guard with a smile and said, "Ah Lai, you were scaring people just now?" ”

The guard pursed his lips and remained silent.

"Ingot Treasure!" I made a gesture, and he immediately shut up.

I glanced at the guard and said, "Be careful at this time." ”

I was disturbed by the guy who had just delivered the snacks, and we were delayed staring at the south gate for a while.

I continued to look out the window at the pedestrians on the street, and after thinking about it, I asked the guard, "I think something is wrong when you said earlier that the people who were following me left. ”

It stands to reason that the guards should feel more accurate than I am.

Since he said that someone was following us, it was absolutely impossible for him to come out of nowhere!

"Childe, what's wrong?" Yuan Bao immediately put down the teacup and asked me at a loss.

"Ah Lai, look for it, are you hiding in the crowd on any other side?"

As soon as the words fell, there was a sudden commotion at the city gate, and my hands were clenched to the window frame, and I suddenly saw a bunch of people suddenly appearing out of nowhere at the south city gate!

My body trembled suddenly, and a trace of uneasiness immediately spread in my heart!

I gasped for air, opened my eyes wide to see what was going on at the gates, and then I saw screams coming from the stone bridge where we had stopped!

A carriage sped down the bridge at breakneck speed, rushing forward regardless of it!

At this time, pedestrians on the street dodged one after another, but some still fell to the ground.

Dangerous!

It all came so suddenly that people didn't have time to react.

The group of people I saw earlier did not scatter and dodge, but came up to meet the carriage!

I could clearly see that those guys were extremely athletic!

When they rushed up, one of them threw himself into a flutter and jumped on horseback.

Fast! Permit! Steady! (To be continued......)
