Chapter 304: Tracking
Lin Mumu glanced at the sky outside, it was almost dark, and the city gate would be closed later.
She turned her head to look at Lan Qinzhu, the figure in front of her was already a little flickering, and she shook her head to sober herself up.
"Ah Zhu, it's not too early, why don't you come here today, if you don't have a good time, we'll drink it next time?"
Lan Qinzhu threw down the jar in his hand and yawned. "No, I'm not going back today, I'm going to stay here! If you want to go back, you will go back by yourself, I will not go back! ”
If it weren't for the fact that there was a mastermind behind her who didn't know when he would shoot at her, Lin Mumu didn't care if she was outside the city this night, but now that the enemy was in the dark, she was in the light, and there were not many people who could protect her on this boat, so she didn't want Lan Qinzhu to follow the adventure.
"If you want to drink, I'm tired of this boat, let's go back to the city first, I'll drink with you in another place."
Lan Qinzhu glared at her with misty drunken eyes. "I'll take your word for it? You obviously want to trick me into going back to the city, let me tell you Lin Mumu, I'll spend the night in this painting boat tonight, you want me to go back again, don't come to me to play in the future! ”
Lin Mumu knew her temper, it was useless to persuade anyone if she was really stubborn, there was no way, she could only let Ning Yuan arrange for the painting boat to dock first, and if something went wrong, they could also go ashore and leave in time.
"Okay, okay, I'll give up my life to accompany you today." That being said, when pouring wine for Lan Qinzhu, Lin Mumu quickly turned his back and put a trace of white powder into the wine jar, and then turned around and put the wine jar in front of Lan Qinzhu.
"Come on, let's keep drinking."
Lan Qinzhu grinned.
"Mu Mu, your cooking skills are so good, can you cook another dish for me, I want to eat jealous carp, just the carp in this lake."
Lin Mumu nodded kindly.
"Okay, I'll cook you whatever you want to eat."
"Thank you Mu Mu, it's worth it for me Lan Qinzhu to make a friend like you in my life......"
Lin Mumu staggered up and walked out of the cabin, but after taking a few steps, she felt that her eyelids were so heavy that she couldn't open them.
A pale golden light shone into the room through the window paper, Lin Mumu frowned slightly, and slowly opened his eyes.
She rubbed her brow and sat up and looked around, wasn't this her room?
"Someone." As soon as he opened his mouth, Lin Mumu felt that his throat was uncomfortably dry.
The door opened, and Qiao Qiao walked in with hot water.
"The eldest lady is awake."
Lin Mumu shook his head. "What time is it?"
"Miss Hui, it's the end of the hour." Qiaoqiao twisted the handkerchief and handed it to Lin Mumu.
Lin Mumu took the handkerchief and wiped her face. "When did I come back, Azhu?"
"The eldest lady drank too much yesterday and fell asleep directly on the painting boat, and Miss Lan asked the slaves to send you back after knowing that the eldest lady was asleep."
"Hmm, I actually got drunk before that girl...... "The hangover was uncomfortable, and Lin Mumu felt that her temples were jumping and hurting.
"Who sent Azhu home?"
"When I arrived at the city gate, Miss Lan said that the people from the Lan Mansion were waiting nearby, so I asked the slaves and maids to send the eldest lady back."
As soon as the words fell, Ning Yuan's voice sounded outside the door.
"Miss, the people from the Lan Mansion are here, saying that they want to ask the eldest lady if she has seen Miss Lan."
Hearing this, Lin Mumu woke up entirely.
"Hurry up and ask the people from the Blue Mansion to come in."
"Yes."
Lin Mumu quickly washed up and arrived in the hall, and she saw the person waiting inside, who was the maid waiting beside Mrs. Lan.
When the maid saw Lin Mumu coming, she stepped forward and blessed her body. "Say hello to Lord Lin."
"Don't care about these false courtesies, I heard Ning Yuan say that you are here to ask me about Azhu's whereabouts, why, didn't she go back to the house last night?"
The maid was stunned for a moment when she heard Lin Mumu's question. "Lord Lin...... Did you see my young lady yesterday? ”
Lin Mumu was also stunned. "Yes, I made an appointment with her to go to the lake yesterday a few days ago, and she was having dinner with me yesterday afternoon."
Hearing this, the maid's face showed a touch. "This, how can this be...... Yesterday, Miss was obviously grounded in the yard by her wife, how could she go to the lake with Lord Lin? ”
Lin Mumu's brows furrowed when she heard this. "What the hell is going on, tell me."
The maid sighed softly. "Lord Lin doesn't know, my young lady has been worried that the general told his wife the day before yesterday that he would take someone to Zhanbei Pass to rescue the general, and his wife was furious after hearing this, and ordered someone to confine the young lady in the courtyard, but this morning when the next person went to deliver the meal, he found that the young lady was missing, and the lady was in a hurry to send the slave maid and others out to look for it, and the lady knew that the young lady was friendly with Lord Lin, so she asked the slave and maid to ask Lord Lin if she could see my young lady."
Lin Mumu's lips pursed, she said how Lan Qinzhu looked a little strange yesterday, although she didn't like too many people to follow her in the past, but there were always one or two maids, but there was no one around when she came yesterday, and her drunkenness yesterday was also a little strange, she drank a lot, but when she was a little confused, she secretly took two pills to quit drinking, although she couldn't be as sober as usual immediately, but she would never be so drunk that she fell asleep without knowing it.
Lan Qinzhu is a person who admits death, she is afraid that she has already planned to go to Zhanbeiguan.
"Yesterday she and I had dinner at the painting boat outside the city, and then we separated, she is likely to go to the Zhanbei Pass, you go back to your wife immediately, and ask her to send someone to look for it on the way to the Zhanbei Pass, and see if you can find it."
When the maid heard this, she was so anxious that she stomped her foot. "Miss is really confused, where is that place where she can go to a girl's house, thank you Lord Lin, the slave will go back and tell Madame." 61 Library
"Go ahead."
After the maid left, Lin Mumu's face also showed a hint of urgency.
"Miss, it's all the slaves and maids, if you insist on sending Miss Lan back to the Lan Mansion last night, Miss Lan won't ......" Qiaoqiao said with a self-reproachful face.
"I don't blame you for this, she is determined to leave, there will always be a reason to leave you, you immediately let Ning Yuan look for it along the road to Zhanbeiguan now, forget it, I'll go."
"The slave and maid will go with the eldest lady."
Lin Mumu nodded, and after a simple tidying up, he walked out of the city gate.
Lin Mumu rode on a horse and searched all the way along the official road.
"Ning Yuan, is there any other way besides the official road?" Lin Mumu was worried that Lan Qinzhu was afraid that her family would find her, so she chose to leave on the trail, so it would be impossible for them to find someone on the official road.
"Yes, my subordinates know that there is another trail."
"Okay, I'll continue to look along the official road, you go down the path, and we'll meet in Toyota Town before dark." Toyota Town is the closest town to Xijing, and if Lan Qinzhu walks on this road, he will definitely pass through Toyota Town.
"Yes."
Lin Mumu and Ning Yuanbing split into two ways, and Ning Xiang and Shuangshuang waited at the city gate.
Lin Mumu drove a horse all the way on the official road, this is the only official road leading to Xijing, along the way she met a lot of people of all kinds, seeing that it was a carriage going out, she would come forward to ask, to see if she could get some information about Lan Qinzhu, but unfortunately she didn't ask anything along the way.
On the way, she didn't care about eating and drinking, and Lan Qinzhu was still nowhere to be seen all the way to Toyota Town.
She was separated from Lan Qinzhu at night yesterday, and even if she rode a thousand-mile BMW at night, she needed to rest and replenish food and water at a certain time.
Lin Mumu looked up at the town gate of Toyota Town, and got off the horse with a turnover.
At this time, although the sky is getting dark, this is the place to go to Xijing, so there are still many pedestrians on the street.
Lin Mumu looked around and went to a stall selling baked cakes.
"Boss, bring me two biscuits."
"Okay." The boss neatly wrapped two baked cakes and handed them to her. "Girl, your baked cakes."
Lin Mumu took the baked cake and gave two more copper plates. "Boss, are you selling here all day?"
The boss saw that she gave more money and said with a smile: "Yes, the stall was out before dawn, and there was no one in the town at that time, so there was no way, we just made some hard-earned money from a small business." ”
"Has the boss ever seen this girl?" Lin Mumu took out a portrait from her body, this portrait was a sketch she had drawn for Lan Qinzhu with charcoal before, and the portrait could be said to be extremely similar to a real person.
"Oh, how is this person so real, I've seen it for the first time in decades!" The boss looked at the portrait with a look of surprise.
"This is a folk painter's painting, the boss has seen this girl?"
The boss took a serious look. "Does this girl wear a pair of silver pendants of birds on her ears?"
"Yes." She did see it on Lan Qinzhu's ears last night.
"I've seen it, just this morning, when I was just out of the stall, before dawn, this girl came, I thought that this beautiful girl's family was too dangerous to travel alone at night, so I reminded two sentences, I don't know if she listened, she left after buying the baked cakes."
"She's headed for town?"
"yes, to the town."
"Did the boss see if she left town?"
The boss shook his head. "I didn't pay attention."
"Thank you."
Lin Mumu thanked him and walked to the town.
It was getting dark, and many of the shops were already lighting up the dimly lit streets.
Lin Mumu was thinking about whether to go back to the town gate to wait for Ning Yuan, when a figure quickly ran towards her.
Just as the man passed by Lin Mumu, something fell out of him.
Lin Mumu subconsciously lowered her eyes and saw that it was a bird's earring!
She quickly crouched down, picked up the earrings, and turned to chase the man.
The man glanced back at Lin Mumu, turned around and ran quickly.
"Stop!" It's not good to run on the street, and Lin Mumu can only abandon the horse to chase.
Seeing Lin Mumu chasing after him, the other party ran faster.
Lin Mumu chased all the way to a dead end.
"Damn it!" Looking at the empty dead end, Lin Mumu's brows furrowed.
Just when Lin Mumu was anxious, the man appeared behind her and slipped into a door......
