Chapter 326: Pursuit
Liu Rong's carriage followed the caravan for more than ten miles, then separated from the caravan and drove to another road.
Only then did Liu Rong realize that this caravan was actually a real caravan, and Liu Rong and his party had already asked to go with this caravan because they were on the same road.
Liu Rong's brows couldn't help frowning, but she didn't say anything on her face.
After walking for half a day, the group stopped to rest. Someone asked the two maids who took care of Liu Rong outside, Liu Rong's situation, when they heard that Liu Rong had been very quiet and calm, the person who came didn't say anything more, but when they left, they told the two maids to keep an eye on it carefully.
After a while, the maid got into the carriage and brought some food and water to Liu Rong: "Miss, you have to hurry in a while, so you can make do with some, and when you get to the town, you will be able to eat better." β
Liu Rong nodded lightly and took the food, there was nothing special on her face, but when the maid turned around to leave the carriage, she asked the maid, "Which direction are we going in now?" β
"Where is this going?"
The maid hesitated slightly, but finally shook her head at Liu Rong: "The slave doesn't know where Lu Dao went, the slave and maid were just ordered to come over and take care of the young lady carefully." β
Liu Rong nodded, didn't say anything more, and ate quietly.
The maid glanced at Liu Rong, and walked out of the car after the last moment.
Not long after, the voices of two maids talking came from outside the car, and vaguely, it was one maid who asked the other maid not to talk to her more.
Liu Rong listened to it in her ears, and her face had a faint expression. Just secretly leave some of the food, wrap it up, and hide it.
The maid entered the carriage to pack up her things, and when she saw that Liu Rong had finished eating obediently, she still closed her eyes and rested quietly as before, and couldn't help but move more lightly.
At the gate of the city, the county lord of Yongcheng had already taken Dong Huwei and Yang Shaomin to the gate of the city, but the group had been guarding for a long time, but they still had no clue.
At the beginning, there were still people who wanted to go out of the city, and naturally some people could also be seen taking women out of the city. Although the face is not Liu Rong. But in the end, you can see the human figure.
But after a few hours, the people knew that the gate of the capital was blocked, and no one came to the gate of the city, and the county lord of Yongcheng and his party could only stare at the streets where people came and went. And before this gate was so unattended.
"If it stays like this. There was not a single man who came to the gate. And how to save people. The county lord of Yongcheng was annoyed in his heart: "There is no way to find people now." β
"County Lord, don't be in a hurry." Seeing the county lord of Yongcheng walking around the gate of the city from time to time, Dong Huwei couldn't help but step forward and speak: "After all, this incident just happened. I don't think anyone has the courage to leave the capital so directly, who can not worry that the capital will be tightly guarded and he will be caught by these guards. β
"I'm not in a hurry about this, if it's good in the capital, I'm just worried that the people who came under Zuo Tingxuan's orders are late, and so many people are released, and the people who arrested Liu Rong are let go." The county lord of Yongcheng spoke irritably.
While speaking, his eyes caught a glimpse of Yang Shaomin's plain city gate, and there was no nervous expression on his face, and he couldn't help but show displeasure: "Liu Rong helped you earn so much silver, and now that Liu Rong is gone, don't you feel sad at all?" β
Yang Shaomin, who had been staring at the people outside, couldn't help but stiffen his face when he heard the words of the county lord of Yongcheng, knowing that the county lord was in a bad mood and wanted to implicate himself.
"Isn't it useless to be nervous and worried? Besides, Liu Rong is so smart, she will definitely think of a way to save herself, not to mention that Ji people have their own natural appearance......"
The county lord of Yongcheng was even more unhappy: "What is it called being so smart to save herself, and there are times when people can't do it with manpower, not to mention that she is a weak woman!" β
The Dong guards on the side hurriedly persuaded the county lord of Yongcheng, but the county lord of Yongcheng was not happy to say anything.
"It's okay if Liu Rong finds it, but if Liu Rong can't find it, I will treat it as your fault for not being serious, and I will definitely punish you when the time comes!"
At this time, a shout and reprimand sounded, Yang Shaomin looked up, and saw Shangguan Yu riding a horse and walking over with a team of soldiers.
"How can we talk to others like this, how can we let others bear the punishment for our own mistakes." Shangguan Yu looked at the Yongcheng County Lord and spoke.
The county lord of Yongcheng didn't speak, but was silent for a while, thinking that Liu Rong didn't have any news yet, so he stepped forward quickly and said the current situation to Shangguan Yu: "Brother, what should I do now, if it is delayed like this, if Liu Rong is taken out of the capital, won't we never be able to find Liu Rong?" β
Shangguan Yu's face sank slightly, and he spoke for a while: "This is indeed a problem, it is also a problem that the capital has only been able to enter and not leave, those rebels must have taken precautions, so before coming, I have already discussed with Ting Xuan, he will now send people to various places to investigate, to see if he can find Liu Rong in the capital, if after half a day, there is still no news of Liu Rong in the capital, then the city gate will be reopened, and you must carefully watch the people who go out of the city at that time." β
Dong Escort hurried to be.
The county lord of Yongcheng couldn't help but be unhappy: "Brother, what's the use of this, isn't it still the same as before?" Isn't there anything you can do to change the situation? β
"In case Liu Rong is taken far away, it will be really difficult for us to find Liu Rong again." When the county lord of Yongcheng said this, his eyes couldn't help but turn red.
Shangguan Yu patted the head of the Yongcheng County Lord: "Don't worry, didn't I say before that I and Ting Xuanbing are separated?" I have begged the emperor to let me stay in Beijing until I recover the silver taels from the auction. The words that were not said also contained the meaning of finding Liu Rong and leaving the capital.
The county lord of Yongcheng nodded at Shangguan Yu.
"Next, let all the guards of today come and see me." As he spoke, Shangguan Yu instructed the soldiers behind him: "You go and guard the city gate for the city guards first, I have something to ask them." β
The soldiers behind Shangguan Yu responded together: "Yes." β
After a while, those guards were led to Shangguan Yu by the soldiers, and at this time, Guan Yu also stood in a more inconspicuous place next to the city gate, looking at the guards who were brought over, Shangguan Yu glanced at the Dong guards beside him, and the Dong guards hurriedly asked these guards the questions that Shangguan Yu had ordered before: "After the accident at the Jinfeng Restaurant." By the time Lord Zuo sent people here, do you remember how many people had left the city? β
Several guards looked at each other, and it took a while for one of them to speak first: "My lord, there are too many people coming and going at the city gate, and the little ones can't remember it very clearly, so they can only roughly remember some people." β
After the person who spoke said, he cautiously looked up at Shangguan Yu, and saw that Shangguan Yu was expressionless, and his heart couldn't help but chuckle.
Dong Huwei also looked at Shangguan Yu, and Shangguan Yu just nodded at Dong Huwei. Dong Huwei looked at a few people and continued: "Then I will tell you all the people who have been written down." β
Several people were in awe and awe of Shangguan Yu. Hoping to come out again, they quickly went out of the city gate during this time, and they remembered everything they remembered.
Shangguan Yu's brows furrowed slightly: "You mean that two caravans left the capital during this time?" β
"yes. My lord. In the past, there were also cases of caravans leaving in groups. It's just that the time is a little close today, so I am particularly impressed, it is two caravans leaving Beijing. β
"Hmm. Do you remember the direction the two caravans took? β
"Well, I can't remember that." The guards of the capital looked at Shangguan Yu and said hesitantly.
Shangguan Yu closed his eyes and waved his hand at Dong Guard, who stepped forward to let a few people leave.
It wasn't until the guards were all gone that Dong Huwei walked up to Shangguan Yu: "General, do you suspect that Miss Liu was taken away in the caravan?" β
"Don't rule out this possibility, you will send someone to the Beijing Chamber of Commerce to ask, there is a caravan leaving today, if there is, write down the names of the two caravans, and then go to check carefully." Shangguan Yu opened his eyes for a while and said to Dong Huwei.
Dong Huwei immediately nodded yes, and then turned around to leave, but he couldn't help but turn around after taking a few steps: "General, the county lord has been in front of this city gate, I'm afraid it's not good, she is too worried about Miss Liu, although the woman is dressed as a man, but in the end, many nobles recognize the county lord......"
Shangguan Yu nodded and signaled to Zhilu.
Dong Huwei turned around and left.
Shangguan Yu is still confirming whether Liu Rong is in the capital, and since he has no clue, there is no way to leave the city immediately, so as not to be searched by headless flies.
It's just this toss, it tossed for a long time, the city gate has been lifted with the passage of time, one by one people out of Beijing lined up to leave the capital, and not far from the capital, a person dressed in tatters, the face is like a gangster is a glimpse of a light, then bowed, to see lying on the wheel print is an earring, looking at the workmanship, then know that the road is a delicate thing, the face can't help but be happy. After glancing left and right, he put it in his pocket.
"Hehe, it's really time for me to get rich, and I have today's gambling money." As he spoke, he turned around and went back to the capital.
After Liu Rong separated from the caravan, she was taken all the way south. Before I knew it, I walked another twenty miles, but the road I walked was a deserted road, and it was not until late in the evening that I saw a small mountain village, borrowing from the simple villagers.
As for Liu Rong, she has been on the carriage, which will find someone to borrow, and it is also a carriage with her face covered, and when she enters the farmer's house, Liu Rong is still the same as before, and she does not resist at all, and the two maids see that Liu Rong is still the same as before, so they don't stare at Liu Rong's every move anymore, but they don't allow her to leave their sight.
Liu Rong was walking back and forth in this farmer's house, and the two maids asked, and she said that she was not in good health and had to walk around like this in order to maintain a similar state.
Although the two maids didn't believe it, but Liu Rong was a doctor after all, and after a set of theories, the two maids also believed it, so Liu Rong walked around the farmers within the range of these people's staring, and when they finished walking through the farmer's kitchen, Liu Rong seemed to be tired, and went to the house where they were ready to rest.
The two maids saw that Liu Rong had been doing some inexplicable things, and they had been doing such trivial things about before, but they would get used to it, so they didn't say anything anymore.
In this way, Liu Rong is much easier than before, the only thing that is not smooth is that Liu Rong clichΓ©s from time to time when they will reach their destination, but these people did not reveal a word.
It wasn't until dinner, when Liu Rong was out of courtesy, that she heard the situation of the two people talking about the situation and realized that because they were walking slowly, it would take more than ten days to get to where they went. (To be continued......)
