Chapter 699: Lost
Over the years, after several expansions, Xiangyang now has two inner and outer city walls, the whole city is similar to the irregular "Hui" character, people are accustomed to call the urban area between the inner city wall and the outer city wall as the outer city, and the inner city wall is called the inner city.
The large-scale palace of Chu is like a city in the city, in the center of the inner city to the north, covering a very wide area, because there are still tall city walls around the palace, so people are also accustomed to calling it the palace city, which is the core of the entire Xiangyang.
Nowadays, the whole Xiangyang is planned in a very orderly manner, and the inner city is mainly where the royal palace is located, as well as some other official offices, as well as the residences of civil and military generals, wealthy merchants, celebrities, and great families. There are not exactly houses and streets, but also small lakes, streams, and even some bamboo forests, woods or gardens, and the environment is very good.
In fact, this inner city is the entire Xiangyang in the past, and its scale is so large that it is needless to say.
However, compared to the outer city, it is nothing, and the total area of the entire outer city of Xiangyang is twice as large as that of the inner city. The people are accustomed to comparing the inner city to the area of dignitaries and nobles, and the outer city is the area of the common people, but in fact, Wang Xu did not restrict the people from living in the inner city, and even when someone proposed to divide the city, he rejected it, thinking that this would cause the people to be alienated from the court, and they would lose the love and support of the people in a certain way.
But even so, there are very few people living in the inner city, just because the land price inside is too expensive, and almost all of them have been built in the form of houses, although there are large and small, but it is not something that ordinary people can afford.
With the gradual prosperity of the economy, the people were able to make money according to their abilities and move into the inner city to live. It has become a kind of pursuit in the lives of the people. Whenever I hear about someone who makes a lot of money. When you move to live in the inner city, it becomes an honor to talk about it among the neighbors for a long time.
In fact, although the environment of the outer city cannot catch up with the inner city, it is not bad, at least compared to many large cities in this era, it is very good.
As the capital of the Chu State today, the ministers are for the face of the Chu State. In the layout and involvement of the building, there is no stinginess, the skilled craftsmen involved before and after are countless, and the money and materials consumed are very large, so the outer city is also very good, the layers are clear, prosperous and lively, but the people of Xiangyang always want to find some pursuit in life, so they are divided into those so-called high-ranking officials and nobles and civilian areas.
In fact, what the people don't know is. In their eyes, the king of Chu, as well as his family. Many times, the bustling and lively outer city is preferred.
On this day, Wang Xu had nothing to do, and his interest was relatively high, so he took out his free time and took his family and children to the outer city to go shopping, but after all, he made some simple disguises for a few women, and she looked just ordinary and beautiful women, so that she would not fall into the country.
The thriving market is full of large and small goods!
In the shops and roadside stalls, there are people shouting and selling, and the family is also lively and lively.
"Xiao Xuan'er, where is Yaoyao? Didn't you take her with you just now? Xu Shu walked and walked, and suddenly found that a naughty figure was missing, and asked out loud.
"Yikes! Mother ......"
Before the latter word was spoken, Wang Xuan had already reacted quickly and changed her words: "Auntie, when I watched that golden hairpin just now, I forgot about Yaoyao!" ”
"Forgot!" The women were stunned for a moment.
Zhao Yu was Wang Yao's biological mother, and she was anxious for a moment: "Sister, what's going on?" There are so many people, let's go find them there! ”
"Sister Yu, don't worry, Yaoyao is so small, she shouldn't be able to go far, let's go back!" Cai Yan comforted gently.
"Huh? What about the Holy Lord? Zhu Rong's stunned voice interrupted everyone.
"I didn't see it!" Zhang Ning shook his head.
"Didn't pay attention!" Sun Shangxiang also shook his head.
"He can't lose it, no matter what he does, find Yaoyao first!" Yan Ming said angrily.
"Could it be that the husband took Yaoyao elsewhere!" Diao Chan guessed gently.
"Let's go back and see!" Xu Shu said calmly.
A few people then couldn't care about wandering around, and searched all the way back, but they searched left and again, and they didn't even see a figure.
Zhao Yu was so anxious that he was about to cry: "It's all my fault, why didn't you take care of Yaoyao!" ”
Yan Ming suddenly rolled his eyes: "Alas! Your temperament is more willing to dance than Yaoyao, it's a blessing that you didn't lose it, and you can still see Yaoyao! ”
Diao Chan frowned beautifully, turned her head and scolded Xiao Wang Xuan: "Xuan'er, didn't you let you hold your sister?" Why are you so careless, how can you find it now? ”
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to!" Xiao Xuan'er was about to cry, and the tears the size of beans swirled in those big pure eyes.
"Sister-in-law, don't blame Xuan'er, blame me, I was negligent!" Wang Ying, who had been silent, suddenly said that Wang Xu was only four or five years old when he rescued her on the street and carried her back to the general's mansion, and now she is also a fourteen or five-year-old girl, slim and beautiful.
"Yingying, how can I blame you for this? didn't let you look at Xuan'er. Diao Chan said softly.
Just when everyone was a little impatient, it also attracted the attention of the people next to them, there was a stall not far behind them, the women guarding the stall looked panicked one by one, looked around, and vaguely heard that they seemed to be looking for children, and couldn't help but call out loudly: "A few women, but are you looking for a girl about five or six years old?" ”
"Huh?"
All the women were stunned and looked at each other, Xu Shu hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Have you seen it?" ”
"Isn't it so tall, very delicate and cute, with a small red flower on his head and two small pigtails!" The woman gestured.
Xu Shu hurriedly nodded: "Yes, yes, yes, it's her, have you seen where she went?" ”
The woman smiled kindly and said, "I see, I see!" She seemed to be lost, and she cried and turned around for a long time, and I was about to go up and ask her, but first I found a man, and I didn't know what to whisper to her, so I took her away. ”
"Whew!" The ladies breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.
Cai Yan said: "It seems that the child's father came back to find her." ”
All the women understood and nodded.
Unexpectedly, the woman suddenly interjected in shock: "No, the man is not the father of the female baby." I heard that girl call him uncle! ”
"Uncle?" Xu Shu was stunned. Then he asked urgently: "How tall is that man?" What does it look like? ”
"About eight feet tall. With a turban on his head and a fan in his hand, he was a handsome man who looked to be in his thirties! I didn't hear him say a few words to the little girl, but when the little girl called him uncle, the voice was very loud, and the man also smiled and recognized, and I could see it clearly. The woman recalled.
"This ......," the women looked at each other.
"Could it be that I happened to meet a servant who knew Yaoyao?" Yan Ming frowned and said. It means something, referring to those Wenchen generals who have seen Yaoyao's appearance.
"No, there are only so many people who have seen Yaoyao, how can there be people in their thirties who still like to hold fans?" Xu Shu shook her head.
"Is it possible for a servant's child? Some of them have also seen Yaoyao! Yan Ming followed closely.
She meant that the sons of the older ministers, such as the son of Fu Zhu, who had seen them, and their age was not much different from what the woman said.
"It can't be them, they don't dare to think they're uncles!" Xu Shu denied it again.
"Then Yaoyao was abducted!" Zhao Yu was so anxious that he cried in an instant.
Just when the women were at a loss, another woman's voice came: "Aunt Zhang, what are you talking about here with a few women?" I seem to hear what Yaoyao said? ”
The woman who called Aunt Zhang heard the voice. Immediately said sympathetically: "It's not the girl we saw before, I'll just say that she is lost!" ”
"I know. Just now, there was a man nearby who inquired, saying that it was the girl's father, and after I told him, he threw a string of five baht coins to me, and ran after him to the alley! The woman replied.
"When? What does that guy look like? Xu Shu hurriedly interjected.
"He's a son, and he wears this long sword around his waist, and the scabbard is very beautiful, and it's inlaid with a gem, and it looks quite valuable!"
"It's my husband!" Cai Yan exclaimed.
"Auntie, which direction are they going?" Diao Chan asked anxiously.
"Just go down that alley over there!"
When Xu Shu heard this, she couldn't say much, and said urgently: "Yan Ming, you protect Diao Chan and Cai Yan to go back first, and notify Wanqing immediately!" Let's get over there! ”
"Good!" None of the women objected.
Although Diao Chan and Cai Yan can't wait to go, they also know that they will only do some work to nourish their bodies and rejuvenate their faces, and if there is really a fight, they will be a burden.
"Auntie, thank you!" Xu Shu turned around and said, took out a string of five baht coins from her body, didn't look at it, and threw it directly on Aunt Zhang's stall.
At the same time, Wang Xu, who had already chased into the alley, lifted his internal breath and started a leisurely step, running at a very fast speed.
He is furious now, and his beloved daughter Yaoyao is the meat of his heart.
The most important thing is that he found that every time he chased a section, he would always see some small objects on Yaoyao's body, such as shoes, and that person picked out the alleys with few people to drill, it was obvious that this was not an ordinary accident, it was a competition for him.
Running all the way, I soon came to a garden in the city, where the trees are very luxuriant, and there is a small lake, which is for the people to play in their leisure time, as the capital, when repairing, it still shows enough bearing, these gardens are not uncommon in the city.
He chased here, and immediately saw the handsome man holding a fan, who was holding Yaoyao at this time, standing quietly in the dense forest.
"Woooooooooo......oo Let go of me, let go of me! You're the bad guy! Yaoyao kept struggling in her arms, tears dripping, and even the long and curled eyelashes were covered with water droplets.
Suddenly caught a glimpse of Wang Xu's figure, and immediately shouted here: "Daddy, daddy!" ”
"Yaoyao doesn't cry, stay quiet, Daddy is here!" Wang Xu said lightly, but his eyes were always staring at the handsome man.
"Yes! Yaoyao doesn't cry, Yaoyao has a father, and his father is the most powerful person, and he will defeat this villain! Yaoyao said obediently, although she kept choking, her big eyes were full of fear, but she couldn't hold back and stop crying, she was really the same as her mother Zhao Yu, simple, stubborn, and simple!
Wang Xu didn't pay attention to her, walked forward slowly step by step, and said lightly: "Let my daughter go!" No matter what your purpose is, it is useless for you to tie her up, and if you have anything to fight for me directly, you can only fight for me! ”
