The atmosphere of the New Year's Festival was completely ruined.

There weren't many people walking on the street.

Even if there is, it is in a hurry, and there is no joy of the New Year at all, but it seems to be hiding from the plague god.

"Didn't you catch the murderer? Why are there still so many officials patrolling? ”

Passers-by asked their companions.

"I heard that someone is missing. I guess I'm looking for the missing person now! ”

Two hours passed. The officials on the street have not yet finished their work. And in addition to the official errands, there is also a team of people who are searching around.

On the surface, these people did not alarm others, but in fact, they had already searched from house to house. It's just that their movements are so agile that no one notices.

There was a horse-drawn carriage parked on the street. The handsome boy who was sitting inside looked at the darkening sky, and his face became more and more ugly.

"Childe, it's not too early, and I still haven't found Miss Chu. Will that person take Miss Chu out of the city? The subordinate said outside.

"Then expand the scope of the search. Now I have to look not only in the city, but also outside the city. When will the person be found, and when will they come back. ”

The noble son, who has always been gentle and elegant, has a cold tone and a majestic expression.

When his subordinates heard him say this, they had to mobilize their men to find someone.

"How long is Childe going to stay here? He's not going to take a fancy to that country girl, is he? The other man stepped forward and asked the man who spoke.

"That's not our business. Childe is measured and doesn't need our interference. ”

"However, if he doesn't return to the capital, things will be in trouble in the capital."

"Let's find someone first! If that Chu girl hadn't been found, the son wouldn't have felt at ease. At this time, if you tell him about leaving, you will only be scolded. ”

On the street, from time to time, officials and messengers asked pedestrians with portraits.

"Have you ever met this person?"

"Nope."

Chu Yuqin walked down from the carriage and looked at the messy street, his eyes full of regret.

"It's such a festival, how did it come to this?"

"Miss Chu."

Suddenly, someone trotted over and compared them in front of her with a portrait.

Chu Yuqin touched his cheeks: "What are you looking at?" ”

The man put the portrait in front of her and said, "Is this you?" You're Miss Chu, right? ”

"It's me. It's quite similar. Chu Yuqin took it and said with a smile.

"Miss Chu is here. Come on! I found Miss Chu. ”

The people who were scattered all over the place just now ran towards here.

Chu Yuqin was taken aback.

These people who ran towards her were not only officials, but also ordinary people. It should be said that they wore the clothes of ordinary people.

"You ...... this"

"Drive!" A horse-drawn carriage was parked not far away.

The man in the carriage jumped down quickly.

"Yuqin."

Chu Yuqin heard the voice, watched the crowd divide into two teams, and greeted the fairy-like son.

"Brother Ling, what's the situation?" Chu Yuqin said.

The people who had been following Ling Shengyi dispersed the crowd. And when they were dispersed, they were given some silver.

Chu Yuqin saw it in his eyes and had a guess in his heart. However, it didn't come out of Ling Shengyi's mouth, and she didn't want to ask.

"I heard you've been captured. We have reported to the authorities, and we are looking for you with the officials. In order to make it easier to find you, I painted your portrait so that more people can find your whereabouts. Hope you won't mind. ”

Ling Shengyi kept looking at Chu Yuqin as he spoke.

She was unharmed, and her expression was calm, not like she was frightened.

So, who took her anyway?

Chu Yulan saw with her own eyes that the man not only knocked her unconscious, but also carried her away. Why is she so relaxed now?

"Brother Ling, I'll tell you about this matter when I go back. You scattered them first. Chu Yuqin said.

Ling Shengyi looked at the subordinates next to him: "Give as much as you want." Call people back! Look no further. ”

"Yes." The subordinates glanced at Chu Yuqin.

When Chu Yuqin looked over, he lowered his head very cowardly.

Chu Yuqin found that the two subordinates who followed Ling Shengyi were raw faces, not servants of their Ling Mansion.

But seeing that these people are agile, the eyes that looked at Ling Shengyi were very awe-inspiring, indicating that they were his people.

Ling Shengyi's identity has always been very mysterious. She had long known that he was no ordinary scholar, so she was curious about his hidden secrets, but she would not dig into them.

"Go home first. Uncle Dashan and Aunt Yu are very worried about you. Steward Zhu, they are also looking for you everywhere. Ling Shengyi said.

"Good. Then I'll go back and tell you what's going on. Don't wait until you have to say it again. Chu Yuqin said.

Chu Yuqin was dressed in red, and he was particularly dazzling in this ice and snow day. Ling Shengyi was dressed in silver, which set off her like a plum in the snow, delicate and moving.

The two walked on the street, like a couple. Many people have seen that the man admires Chu Yuqin's charming appearance, and the woman admires Ling Shengyi like a fairy.

"Yuqin."

Zhu Han and Zhu Qian's brothers happened to come from the opposite side.

Zhu Han trotted over first.

"Are you alright?"

Zhu Han grabbed Chu Yuqin's wrist.

"Are there any injuries?"

The continuous inquiries and the nervous eyes were full of concern for her.

Ling Shengyi looked at Zhu Han's hand.

He quietly grabbed Chu Yuqin's other hand and dragged her away from Zhu Han's side.

"Let's go back first! Auntie, they're still waiting. Every moment of delay, the more they worry. I'll talk about it when I have something to say. ”

Zhu Han's hand fell into the air, and he saw Ling Shengyi grabbing Chu Yuqin's wrist again, his eyes full of displeasure.

However, after all, he was a gentle person, and he didn't want to care about that at this time, so he followed Chu Yuqin away.

Annex. That is, the residence that Chu Yuqin prepared for the servants he bought.

When the 'Thousand Faces Pavilion' opens, she will stay in the city often, and sometimes she can rest here when it is too late. But I usually go back to my place in the countryside.

Chu Dashan and his wife have been resting in the courtyard since last night. When Chu Yuqin disappeared, they were also here waiting for news.

The name of the annex has only two words: Chu House.

Chu Yuqin and the others walked back to the courtyard.

"The eldest lady is back."

When the servant saw her, he excitedly ran in to report to Chu Dashan and the others.

Chu Yuqin was helpless: "It seems that my father and mother are really worried." It was my fault! I should find a way to report that I'm safe. ”

"Daughter......" Yu was the first to run out and hugged her. Are you okay? Are there any injuries? Have you ever been bullied? ”

"Mother, it's okay. Actually, it was a misunderstanding. The man who took me was my guest. It's just that I didn't expect that subordinate to have a problem with his brain. My guest asked him to invite me over, and he was okay and carried me straight over. Am I okay? It's all a misunderstanding. ”

"Really? It's okay. It's just that how did that guest find a man with a sick brain to do things? See, what's going on? It scared us to death. During the Chinese New Year, your father and I almost didn't pass out. When the Yu clan heard Chu Yuqin say this, he complained.
