There was silence outside for a moment, and he immediately responded, but it made Ran Qiunian's heart sink to the bottom: "It's almost Tianxianglou, and it will delay a lot of effort to turn back at this time, why don't you wait for the little boy to go back and buy ink blocks in Huizhai when he goes back?" ”

These words of prevarication completely verified the guess in Ran Qiunian's heart, this person could definitely not be the eldest brother's subordinate, Ran Qiunian was extremely sure.

"Huizhai's best ink blocks are sold every day, and the amount is counted, I went late, and I was bought up by others, how do you let me go back empty-handed? Hurry up and turn around! Do you hear that? ”

While making the last effort, Ran Qiunian was already secretly prepared, and quietly aimed the sleeve arrow on his arm at the coachman across the curtain.

There was no echo from the outside, replaced by a carriage that suddenly accelerated, and he finally revealed his true colors.

Ran Qiunian was caught off guard by the sudden bumpy carriage, and as soon as his arm was crooked, a sharp sleeve arrow flew out from the corner of the carriage wiping the curtain.

She secretly said that it was not good, the capacity of the Hidden Arrow was limited, she only brought three arrows this time, and just now she wasted one in vain, and the remaining two, I don't know how many wrongdoers she will face.

Before the coachman driving outside found out, Ran Qiunian quickly sat upright on the wall of the car, raised his right arm to realign in the fast-moving carriage, gritted his teeth and shot the sleeve arrow at the coachman's neck.

The sound of sharp arrows breaking through the air came, through a thin layer of curtains, and directly into the back of the neck of the coachman who had no time to dodge, and he fell to the ground in pain, rolled to the courtyard wall on the side, and wiped out blood.

Ran Qiunian didn't know if the man was dead, but she couldn't think much about it, and the carriage that had lost control was still moving forward quickly.

Although she can ride a horse, she has never learned to drive a carriage, and at this moment, in order to save her life, Ran Qiunian can only learn and sell now.

But what made Ran Qiunian feel desperate was that the coachman who was knocked out of the carriage by her was not dead, although he was seriously injured, he still breathed hard and released the signal.

The carriage ran out not far away, but it was still surrounded by people who had been ambushed in advance, Ran Qiunian had a pale face and grabbed the reins.

Xiao Yin had been waiting in Tianxiang Building for a long time, if it weren't for Zhang Shulin having already arrived in the private room next to him, he was afraid that he would think that he had remembered the wrong place.

Thinking that with Ran Qiunian's temperament, he would never miss this meeting with Zhang Shulin, Xiao Yin waited patiently for a while, and after drinking a cup of tea, Ran Qiunian's figure still didn't see it.

Seeing that Zhang Shulin had already looked back and forth outside the private room several times, although he had not yet expressed the idea of leaving, Xiao Yin was already one step ahead of him and couldn't sit still.

"Knock knock", there was a knock outside the door, and it was his door that was knocked.

"Come in." Xiao Yin said in a deep voice.

saw that it was the subordinate who was sent by him to prepare a carriage for Ran Qiunian during the day, and the man's face was sweating profusely.

"What's wrong? What about Nian'er? ”

Xiao Yin stood up, but there was no one behind the man, and his face suddenly turned ugly.

"Miss, she's gone."

The man's face was full of remorse, and without waiting for Xiao Yin to ask, he told him everything that had happened to him.

"At the end of Shen Shi, his subordinates were about to pick up the young lady and set off, but they were tripped up by the little grandfather's servants, and when the subordinates got rid of these people, when they went to pick up people at the beginning of the year, the young lady had already been taken away first."

Taken away first? Xiao Yin felt ridiculous and ridiculous.

Ran Qiunian didn't know anyone in Lingzhou City except for a few of them, if he was picked up by a random person, he would be able to make this girl follow defenselessly, then it wouldn't be the Ran Qiunian he knew.

"But someone saw how Nian'er was taken away, and how long has it been gone?"

Xiao Yin asked in a deep voice, and his subordinates nodded hurriedly.

Miss Qingxi saw it, she said that it was the carriage of the inn, and the person claimed that he was sent by the young master to pick up the young lady, so the young lady took off her guard. The carriage also went to Tianxianglou, but for some reason there was no trace halfway, and the subordinates tracked down an alley not far from here, and no one said that they had seen the carriage. ”

Hearing this, how could Xiao Yin be indifferent: "Go to that alley." ”

After speaking, the two of them left Tianxiang Building briskly, and as for Zhang Shulin, who was still waiting in the private room next door, no one could think of him at this time.

"Little grandfather? Why are you here? ”

Xiao Yin hurried to the place with his subordinates, but found that the little grandfather had already led people to the alley one step ahead of them.

"Nian, Xiao Lei is missing, how can I sit idly by? First Brother Qiubai, and now Xiao Lei, no matter what you say this time, I also want to use the token of the Duke of Qi to mobilize people from the official mansion of Lingzhou City to search all over the city. Xiao Lei is ...... after all One more moment of delay is one more point of danger. ”

Seeing that Qi Ruoyun had talked about this, Xiao Yin naturally had no reason to refuse him. In order to get Ran Qiunian back as soon as possible, he could only make this decision.

But seeing Qi Ruoyun sigh again, he said with worried eyes: "Xiao Lei's identity is unknown except for a few of us, she is new to Lingzhou City, who wants to attack her?" And who will do it to her? It's really hard to fathom. ”

Thinking of this, Xiao Yin suddenly had some guesses.

He said to Qi Ruoyun: "In this case, the troops will be divided into two routes, and this place will be left to the little grandfather, and I will take people to search elsewhere." ”

"Do you want to send an advance team of transferred officers and soldiers to search elsewhere with you?"

Qi Ruoyun looked at Xiao Yin thoughtfully: "Brother Xiao, does he already have a doubter?" ”

"It's just speculation, it's inconclusive, and we have to inquire before we can confirm it." Xiao Yin shook his head, but he did not refuse the officers and soldiers assigned by Qi Ruoyun, if his guess was verified, these officers and soldiers would come in handy.

"Then Brother Xiao hurry up, delay a little longer, Xiao Lei's situation will be even more dangerous, and it will be dark today."

Qi Ruoyun urged two sentences, and the two groups of people separated, each looking for the direction they had promised.

Xiao Yin led someone to find the inn where Zhang Shaoxian's caravan stayed, and did not let people go in directly, but walked towards the inn alone, and was suddenly stopped from behind at the door of the store.

"It's you, why are you here?" Zhang Shulin waited all afternoon, but he didn't wait for the news of Ran Qiunian, seeing that Tianxianglou was about to close, he walked back with a heart full of loss, who knew that he saw Xiao Yin at the door of the inn.

For such a person, if he has seen it once, he will not forget it so easily.

Zhang Shulin remembered who this person was at a glance, and hurriedly stepped forward to say hello, as if to inquire about Xiao Lei's news.

Seeing Xiao Yin's calm and waveless expression looking at him, Zhang Shulin didn't think much about it, thinking that this person didn't recognize him, and hurriedly explained: "Last time I was by Xiao Lei's side, I saw you, do you remember me?" ”

"That's exactly what I'm here for." Xiao Yin said.

"Did Xiao Lei ask you to bring me a letter? Why didn't he come to the appointment today, was there something urgent? ”

The loss in Zhang Shulin's eyes was swept away, thinking that maybe Xiao Lei missed the appointment for the future because he suddenly had an urgent matter, and he couldn't care about his own loss, and asked with worry in his eyes.

"He really can't come, because he, like Ran Qiubai, suddenly disappeared."

Xiao Yin looked at Zhang Shulin's eyes and said meaningfully. Sure enough, the next moment he saw Zhang Shulin's face change in disbelief, and there was a bit of weakness and anxiety in the melancholy, which made Xiao Yin's eyes squint more and more.

"I think if she gets out, maybe she will think of coming to you, just come and talk to you, if you have news of Xiao Lei, you must remember to tell me."

After Xiao Yin finished speaking, he was about to leave, but he heard Zhang Shulin grit his teeth and call him again.

"Wait," Zhang Shulin finished speaking, he was entangled for a long time, sank his heart, and said to Xiao Yin, "You wait for me for a while, I, I'll go back and drink saliva and go find someone with you." I am familiar with the topography of Lingzhou City. ”

"We're searching for people in the alley not far away, and after you finish repairing, if you still want to be with us, you can go to the front alley to meet."

Xiao Yin paused slightly on the word trimming, keenly grasped the weakness of heart that flashed in Zhang Shulin's eyes, his expression did not change, and after speaking, he watched Zhang Shulin, who was almost deserted, enter the inn behind him.

"Let the rest of the people guard this inn, and report any changes immediately, and no one can act rashly without my orders."

Xiao Yin commanded in a deep voice, his eyes full of solemnity.

"Cousin, cousin, are you there?"

After Zhang Shulin asked the people outside, he was almost full of inns looking for Zhang Shaoxian, but he pounced in his room.

"Shulin, are you looking for the second shopkeeper? Hasn't he come back yet? ”

A passing caravan guy was attracted by Zhang Shulin's movement, and looked at the empty house, and was also a little surprised.

"Did you see my cousin? Where did he go? ”

Zhang Shulin is a little unable to maintain the image of a good old man who is gentle in the past, and he looks quite anxious, which also makes the guy who is used to seeing his good temper a little surprised.

"What's wrong with you? If there is something urgent, the second shopkeeper went out after noon, perhaps to go to the southern suburbs warehouse to take stock of the goods. Hasn't he made a big deal these days? If you want to find him, you can only wait for ......"

The man's words hit Zhang Shulin's head like a thunderbolt from the sky, he couldn't hear what the people next to him were saying, and there was only one sentence in his mind.

"Going out after noon?"

Zhang Shulin muttered to himself, his face was a little ugly, he couldn't help but connect the two things together, thinking of Ran Qiubai's disappearance, and thinking of Zhang Shaoxian's inexplicable hostility towards Ran Lei, he gritted his teeth, turned around and ran out.

"Alas, where are you going so late?"

The guy shouted inexplicably behind him, but he didn't get any response.

"Young master, that Zhang Shulin ran out of the inn again, do you want to stop him?"

"You continue to guard here, keep an eye on the people coming in and out, Zhang Shulin, I will follow you personally."

After Xiao Yin finished his order, he followed behind Zhang Shulin in a hurry in the night, and followed his footsteps towards the southern suburbs warehouse not far away.
