Chapter 446: The Man Is Gone

Early the next morning, Lin Mumu woke up and was stopped by the snow all over the yard.

"It snowed so hard last night?"

"Yes, county master, this is the first time the slave has seen such a big snow, and the figures are almost impossible to see."

Lin Mumu put on her cloak and opened the door, and a cold wind hit her, making her shiver. "How can you start with such a thick layer of snow?"

"Princess, the eldest prince of the Western Chu Kingdom sent someone to spread the word that the snow on the road is too thick, and it is still the case in the city, if you go out of the city, I am afraid that the carriage will not be able to go at all, saying that it will not leave today."

Lin Mumu also felt that today's snow would not be able to leave at all. "Winter in Huicheng has always been like this?"

"Back to the county lord, Huicheng is so cold every winter, but it won't snow so hard every day like last night."

Lin Mumu nodded. "Then let's talk about it when the snow is light." Even if he went out of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, he also walked a distance to reach the Chu State, such a cold sky is in the green and yellow realm, if something happens, it is not that the sky should not be called the earth and the earth.

It was too cold, and Lin Mumu didn't want to go out, so she nested in her house and ate roasted sweet potatoes.

"County Lord, the tenth princess asks to see you."

Lin Mumu was drowsy in the quilt, and there was a maid's announcement outside the door.

Lin Mumu opened her eyes lazily. "What is she doing here? Itchy skin again? ”

Belch......

"Let her in."

"Yes."

The door of the house opened, a cold wind poured in, and Lin Mumu saw Zhao Qingyan, who was holding like a dumpling, walking in.

"Lin Mumu, let's go to the street and have a look." Zhao Qingyan said directly.

Lin Mumu glanced at her. "The princess doesn't itch anymore?"

Zhao Qingyan pouted a little wryly. "It's not itchy anymore." She won't say it's because the medicine she gave is too effective!

"If you don't itch, go back honestly and take it with you, what are you doing here?"

Zhao Qingyan's eyes widened, and she just wanted to get angry when she thought of what Ma Zhaoyi said to her.

Along the way, almost all of them were on the road, and they were too tired to sleep at night, and they were about to hurry up again, and she didn't have time to contact Lin Mumu at all.

Today, she finally didn't have to hurry, so she found time to come to Lin Mumu.

"It's hard to get Huicheng, so you don't want to go outside?"

Lin Mumu looked at the snow outside the window and shook her head. "Whatever you go, it's cold, just go to the princess by herself, I'm not interested."

"I heard that today is the Fish Killing Festival in Huicheng, and there will be all kinds of fish in the fish market that we haven't seen before, so you don't want to go and see it?"

Lin Mumu lay on the soft collapse and turned over lazily. "I don't want to."

Zhao Qingyan choked. "This Huicheng is very different from Xijing, I also heard that there are a lot of medicinal materials that can't be found in Xijing for any amount of money, don't you want to go and see it?"

Lin Mumu raised her eyelids idly. "You can't just say what the hell you want to do? It's not like the tenth princess, you have an impatient and domineering temperament. ”

"You!" Zhao Qingyan was so angry that her face turned red, she really didn't know what to do, if it weren't for her mother's explanation, she wouldn't want to pay attention to her! "This princess also has good intentions to let you see the world, if you don't go to this princess, you will go by yourself, I really don't know the hearts of good people!"

Zhao Qingyan left with a hum after speaking.

When she went out to the yard, a cold wind poured in, making her shiver with cold.

"Princess, it's too cold outside, why don't you go back to the house and rest?" Zhao Qingyan's personal maid Hongyun felt that her face was about to be blown apart by the cold wind, and the winter in Huicheng was too cold.

Zhao Qingyan was also so cold that she couldn't go back to the house and sit with a hand warmer right away, but she just said cruel words to Lin Mumu, if she didn't go, wouldn't she be slapping herself in the face?

"Go back to what!? My princess is going to the city to watch the fish killing festival, if you want to get out, you can get out of your own way, don't get in the way of the princess's eyes here! Zhao Qingyan gathered the cloak on her body, snorted coldly, and walked out of the courtyard quickly.

Lin Mumu stood in front of the window, looking at Zhao Qingyan, who was walking away, her temples jumped violently. "You go and tell the guards to send a few more people to follow that idiot, and don't let her have any accidents."

Stacked up and retreated.

Lin Mumu went back to the bed and lay down, took out the spicy strips made for her by Qiaoqiao and skewered them with chopsticks and roasted them on the charcoal fire, until the spicy strips softened, and a spicy smell that made people drool spread in the room.

Eating the spicy strips moistened with oil, Lin Mumu sighed with great satisfaction, and after a pack of belly, she lay on the bed and fell asleep with heavy eyelids.

"County Lord, something happened."

A cold breath rushed towards him, and Lin Mumu opened his eyes in confusion. "Huh? Dinner time? ”

Stacked eyebrows, his heart skipped. "County Lord, it's the tenth princess who is gone."

"If you don't see it, you don't see it...... What the!? Lin Mumu sat up from the bed.

Didn't you say that the forbidden army should send more men to follow? Can so many people follow and lose people?

Stacked eyebrows. "The people who came to spread the word said that they were not familiar with Huicheng, and there was a lot of snow on the road, and after the tenth princess arrived at the place where the fish killing festival was held, she disappeared all of a sudden, and now the forbidden army has sent more people to find it."

Lin Mumu lifted the quilt and looked at the sky outside, the temperature will be lower after dark, Zhao Qingyan's idiot should not be frozen to death outside. Lagerstroemia

If she just got lost, she could have found a restaurant and let someone go to the post station to spread the word, if no one came to the inn, the idiot was probably in danger.

"How long have people been lost? How far is the place where the fish killing festival is held from the inn? ”

"The people disappeared two hours ago, they have been looking for it, and the Fish Killing Festival is held in the south of the city, half an hour away from the post station."

Lin Mumu's eyebrows sank. "Let the forbidden army go to the city guard of Huicheng, and let the officers and soldiers defending the city cooperate in the search."

"Yes."

Winter nights always come faster than ever, Lin Mumu sat in the house, and just after the hour of a cup of tea, the sky outside darkened.

The door was pushed open from the outside, and a cold wind mixed with snowflakes poured in.

Lin Mumu raised his eyes and saw Nangong Zun enter the house with his neck bent and closed the door with his backhand.

"This damn god, it's going to freeze to death!"

Nangong Zun removed the cloak on his body and went to the stove to roast his hands.

"What is the prince doing here at night?"

Nangong Zun rubbed his face, feeling that his facial expression was not so stiff, before he came to her and sat down.

"I smell a strong spicy incense outside, are you eating?"

Lin Mumu's eyes silently swept over a box behind him, which were all small snacks that Qiaoqiao made for her when she went out, because it was cold, it had not been broken until now, and after eating it all the way, there was not much left.

"No, where did you get the spicy strips here, you must have smelled it wrong."

Nangong Zun rubbed his nose and looked at her suspiciously. "Really? How do I smell a strong spicy strip smell in the air? ”

Lin Mumu picked up the teapot on the side without changing his face and poured himself a cup of hot tea.

"You smell wrong."

Nangong Zun took a deep breath and poured himself a cup of tea. "What's the matter with that stupid shortage, how did you get lost? This looks like you're about to go to Xichu, don't be able to deal with it when the time comes. ”

"I went out to surf and ran away, and there is probably an accident, and I am sending someone to find it."

Nangong Zun frowned and hissed. "Not at this time...... That's kind of dangerous......"

Lin Mumu raised his eyes to look at him. "How?"

"I've also heard about this, that is, here in Huicheng recently, there are always young women missing around the end of every month."

Lin Mumu frowned. "The woman is missing?"

"Yes, I heard that the whereabouts of those missing women are still unknown, in our time, it is difficult to find missing people in a short time, let alone here, if she is really caught, it will be troublesome."

Lin Mumu was silent, Nangong Zun was right, but Zhao Qingyan was a princess, if she disappeared, the problem would be even more complicated.

"Are your people familiar with the environment here, let them help you go out and find it?"

"You have spoken, I can still refuse, Huicheng is very close to Xichu, and my people are more adaptable to the climate here, so I will go and let people follow to find it."

"Well, thank you."

"What do you thank me?"

After Nangong Zun left, Lin Mumu called Cao Xian, the escort leader.

Cao Xian knew that Zhao Qingyan had been sending people to look for him since he lost it, but he had not found any trace of Zhao Qingyan until now.

"Haven't you found it yet?"

"Back to the county lord, I haven't found it yet."

"When was the gate of Huicheng closed?"

"An hour ago."

In other words, if Zhao Qingyan was arrested, it was likely that the people would be transported out of the city during the time they were looking for them, and there was no point in blocking the city gate at this time.

"Where is the city guard of Huicheng, let him come to me."

"Yes."

After the escort leader retreated, Lin Mumu waited in the house until it was dark outside, and then the maid spread the word that the city guard of Huicheng had arrived.

Lin Mumu arrived at the side hall, and as soon as he sat down, he saw a middle-aged man wearing a fox fur walking in, and after entering the house, the attendant behind him immediately stepped forward to take off the fox fur on his body, and then gave the man a hand stove before retreating aside.

"The lower official has seen the county lord."

The man glanced at Lin Mumu, walked up to her unhurriedly, bowed slightly, and saluted.

Lin Mumu's eyelids were raised, and they fell on his thumb, with a black jade wrench on his thumb, which was worth at least a thousand taels from the point of view of fineness, and then looked at the heavy brocade blue robe on his body, the cuffs were also edged with gold threads, and the shoes on his feet were inlaid with dazzling rubies.

Huicheng is an important economic city between the Eastern Jin Dynasty and Western Chu, she knows that there is a lot of fertilizer and water in this place, Hu Ming is also the man, as the city guard of Huicheng It is essential to benefit from it, but like him, who is afraid that no one in the world will know that I am very rich, it is arrogant enough.
