Fifty soldiers, divided into ten groups of five each, began to search the villages along the road they had come from.

It is even more difficult at night, because there are not many people in the village, and if there are many elderly people, most of them go to bed early.

At night, the laborers mobilized the crowd to search for two people, which was suspected of disturbing the people.

However, if they don't collect, Lu Shikang and Wu Shu will feel uneasy.

Therefore, even if it is to disturb the people, it is forced to do so.

I searched until midnight, and then I found half the way.

The soldiers came from time to time to report the situation to Lu Shikang and Wu Shu, and without exception, they brought the news that no one had seen Dr. Kong and Dr. Yu.

Just when Lu Shikang's brows were furrowing more and more, a group of soldiers suddenly returned.

The one at the head said from afar: "There is an old man in the village over there, and he said that there were a few people looking for someone just now. The person they were looking for was described by the other party as being dressed in white and carrying a medicine box in their hands, and it should be them. ”

"Anyone else looking for them?" Wu Shu asked suspiciously.

Who is also looking for them, could it be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has sent soldiers over again?

Or is someone else looking for them?

"Who is looking for someone, did you ask?"

"One woman, two men. The women looked a little thin, and the men said they were more than seven feet tall and a little gentle. Listen to an old man's description like this. ”

"Who could that be?" Wu Shu muttered to himself in confusion.

"Did you ask where the people who were looking for them went?" Lu Shikang asked the soldier at the head.

"They're going all the way south." The soldier replied.

"To the south?" Wu Shu asked suspiciously.

The south is not the direction in which the troops are traveling.

"Yes, they went in the direction of the south." The soldier replied.

"Where did you hear about this?" Lu Shikang asked.

"It's the village to the west." The soldier pointed in the direction of the west.

"Shall we ask?" Wu Shu asked Lu Shikang.

Lu Shikang nodded.

When the two of them and the soldiers went to the old man's house, which they had just asked, they saw that the old man's courtyard door had been closed, and a soldier came up and knocked on the door, and after a while an old man came to open the door.

The old man looked to be in his sixties, and he was about to close the door to sleep just now, and he had been disturbed once, and now he was disturbed again, but instead of showing a look of annoyance, he said calmly, "What else do you have to do?" ”

He recognized a few of the soldiers who had just arrived.

The soldier who knocked on the door said, "Old man, we are returning because we still have something to ask you." ”

"Anything else to ask? What to ask? The old man glanced at Lu Shikang and Wu Shu behind the soldier and asked.

Lu Shikang gave the old man a slight look and said, "May I ask the old man what clothes he still remembers what those people were wearing?" ”

The old man thought for a while and said, "I can't see the color of the clothes clearly, but the girl's clothes are embroidered with plum blossoms." ”

Lu Shikang asked again: "Is one of the two men wearing dark clothes, with a delicate face and very white skin?" ”

The old man nodded and said, "Yes, yes, there is a boy who is wearing dark clothes, and his face looks very delicate." ”

Lu Shikang asked again: "Is there another man who wears light-colored clothes, is about twenty years old, has a square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes?" ”

The old man nodded and said, "Yes, yes, the other one looks like you said." ”

Lu Shikang asked again: "Old man, do you remember where they went?" ”

The old man pointed in the direction of the courtyard gate, that is, to the south, and said, "They went that way, and the girl said that they would find the person they were looking for tonight no matter what." ”

"When did they come to you?"

"That's what it looks like for half an hour."

"Thank you, old man." Lu Shikang said.

Walking out of the old man's house and returning to the north-south village road in the east of the village, Wu Shu asked: "What, Lu Gongzi, do you guess who is looking for Dr. Kong and Dr. Yu?" ”

Lu Shikang said: "No, they are only looking for Dr. Kong alone. ”

"What, find her alone?"

"No, to be exact, I am also looking for two people, but the other person is not Dr. Yu."

Wu Shu was even more puzzled and asked, "Who could that be?" ”

Lu Shikang said: "A former soldier of Zhou Jing. ”

Wu Shu opened his mouth, "What? Is there any basis for Lu Gongzi to say this? ”

How did Zhou Jing's former soldier come into contact with Dr. Kong?

Lu Shikang didn't reply to his words, but said: "They went south, let's go south." ”

Some words are inconvenient to explain to him, because he has already guessed that the people looking for Qingzhi must be Lu Yuanqing, Wu Shan, and Yu Qishu.

And the most likely reason why Qingzhi disappeared was related to Zhou Jing's soldiers that Lu Yuanqing picked up from the battlefield.

On that day, when Wu Shan disguised himself as a bear and went to the woods, he should have ruthlessly driven them away, and then he should have ruthlessly handed over the soldiers rescued by Lu Yuanqing to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to deal with, after all, he was unwilling to go to His Royal Highness the Prince's side at that time, which means that it is impossible for him to submit to the forbidden army.

He had imagined, or maybe he wanted to wait until his injuries healed before going home, and these days, he didn't think about this person.

Unexpectedly, in the end, it still caused Qingzhi to have an accident.

Thinking of her uncertain life and death, his brow furrowed even tighter.

Wu Shu saw that Lu Shikang didn't reply to what he said just now, and thought that maybe he was too worried about Dr. Kong, so he didn't hear his words.

He ordered the soldiers: "Go, four of you will go to the south with me and Lu Gongzi, and leave one of you to go to the north road and wait for the other soldiers to come back and spread the news to them, and take them to the south to find them." ”

So one soldier returned to the north, where the troops were marching, while the other soldiers followed Lu Shikang and Wu Shu to ride south.

In the first village in the south, they did not meet Lu Yuanqing.

When he arrived at the second village, just after turning the corner of the village, Lu Shikang saw several figures standing in the distance, seemingly knocking on someone's door.

Lu Shikang and Wu Shu took the four soldiers to ride towards a few figures, and when they arrived, by the moonlight, they saw the three people standing in front of the door just now, and sure enough, they were Lu Yuanqing, Wu Shan, and Yu Qishu.

As soon as Lu Yuanqing saw Lu Shikang appear, she was so frightened that her legs weakened and hid behind Wu Shan, after all, she knew that she was in a big trouble this time.

Wu Shan had no way out, so he had to face his third son.

"Say, what the hell is going on?" Lu Shikang said with a serious face.

Lu Yuanqing whispered to Wu Shan behind Wu Shan: "Wu Shan, you say." ”

Wu Shan had no choice but to say: "Early this morning, we followed His Royal Highness the Prince's troops two miles behind the troops and rode horses, and the ...... Chen Zhuo together. ”

When talking about Chen Zhuo, his voice changed significantly, and after a pause, he continued:

"In the middle of the afternoon, we saw Dr. Kong and Dr. Yu picking up something under a tree on the side of the road, and then I asked Dr. Kong what they were picking up, and Dr. Kong said that when I passed by here, I saw the tree of Eucommia ulmoides, which is a precious Chinese medicinal material, and the bark is very precious, known as plant gold, but under the tree, there are branches that have been broken by people who are not aware of the goods and are piled on the side of the road, so I want to get some bark from the branches that have been cut off."

Yu Qishu took his words and said: "At that time, we were thinking that we would catch up with the troops with a little bit of eucommia bark, but who would have thought that we just met Wu Shan and Miss Lu. ”

He hadn't seen them before, and he had heard Qingzhi call them that, so he called them like that.

"So, is that kind of Chen Zhuo who took Dr. Kong away?"
