"This is the map of Yuncheng, which marks the mansions of all dignitaries and nobles, as well as some of the mansions that Xiuyuan said in his letter, and I have also marked them one by one." Lin Le opened the parchment scroll in his hand, pointed and said, "There may be a place where the secret passage communicates, and I have also made another mark." ”

Lin Le is very serious in his work, and the marks on this map are clear and detailed.

Wei Xiuyuan glanced at it, and then said: "I don't know if I don't look at it, this Yuncheng place is so big, it seems that we have been busy in the past few days." You say yes, Lu Li? ”

But after a while, the people next to him didn't respond to him.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but ask again: "Lu Li?" Do you hear me? ”

But the other party still didn't move, and he couldn't help poking his elbow at Lu Li, "What do you want?" ”

Lu Li suddenly came back to his senses, and in the face of Lin Le and Wei Xiuyuan's gaze, he was stunned for a moment, then rubbed his eyebrows, and frowned: "There is always something wrong in my heart, Mr. Lin, is the place you said safe?" Wouldn't it be anyone? ”

"Don't worry, I have been friends with their shopkeeper for many years, and when I came to Yuncheng, the first friend I met was him." Lin Le was full of confidence, "Besides, the person I sent out also has martial arts, and ordinary people can't easily hurt them." ”

Even if the other party said this, Lu Xuan was still worried and had no way to rest assured.

Xiaoman and Xia Wanrou don't know any martial arts, Hongyu and Pearl say that they are maids, but they have grown up in Xia Mansion since they were children, and they are more delicate than ordinary daughters.

The hot spring pool outside the city is still some distance away from Yuncheng, and if the two of them really encounter something, I'm afraid they don't even know how to go back.

Wei Xiuyuan couldn't stand it, so he simply put the sheepskin roll away, he got up and hooked the other party's shoulder, "Lu Li, what's wrong with you today?" ”

"I can't say it, I'm very uneasy, I always feel like something is going to happen." Lu Li said truthfully, always frowning, and his eyes lingered at the door.

Seeing this, Lin Le proposed: "If not, let's go out and have a look now?" ”

Lu Li nodded, "I think so too, Xiuyuan, are you going?" ”

"Go, wait until I'm going to bring the horse over."

Soon, Lin Le took the lead in leading the two out of the city, all the way east, until they arrived at the hot spring pool, there was no trace of the carriage. The uneasiness in Lu Xuan gradually expanded, and Wei Xiuyuan, who had been poor and tricky before, also smiled, and the expression on his face became more and more serious.

Lin Le tightened the reins and got off the horse, and asked the people who came to the hot spring pool to inquire, but learned that Xiao Man and Xia Wanrou had already left.

He immediately looked at Lu Li, "What should I do?" Do we have to notify the government to save people first, or do we go and find them alone? ”

They came in a low-key manner, pretending to be businessmen, just to avoid startling the snake, and not wanting to attract the attention of the yamen, but now that Xiaoman and Xia Wanrou disappeared for no reason, with the strength of the three of them, I am afraid that there is no way to find someone in a short time.

The emperor's order is important, or the person is important.

"Xiuyuan, you go back and inform the government, and Mr. Lin and I will go to find someone first." Lu Li quickly made a judgment, and reassured Wei Xiuyuan before he spoke: "Mr. Fang Cailin has shown you the map, you know the location of the yamen of Yuncheng, and you are still serving in the imperial court, they don't dare to take it lightly." As for Mr. Lin, he is very familiar with the vicinity of Yuncheng, so I will go with him to find someone, and you go back first. ”

"After informing the yamen, you will come with their men to look for it, remember, don't act alone, you know?"

Wei Xiuyuan, who wanted to go with him to find someone, had to suppress the words that came to his mouth, and after answering, he gave a few uneasy instructions, so he turned the horse and hurried towards Yuncheng.

Lin Le, who stayed in place, also got on the horse, "Brother Lu, shall we go to find it separately, or-"

"Aren't you familiar with the shop in this hot spring pool? Find a few guys to help, by the way, find the one who is most familiar with the nearby terrain, I'll follow him to find it, let's go our separate ways, that efficiency is faster. Lu Li took the lead.

Lin Le nodded, and was busy doing what Lu Li said.

Everything is going on in an orderly manner, but Lu Li knows that even if he is careful, those people may already know the purpose of their trip, and they also deliberately provoke Xiaoman and Xia Wanrou to attack, it seems that they are deliberately going against their side.

If he had known that the purpose of Wei Xiuyuan's trip was this, then he would not have brought Xiao Man and Xia Wanrou with him anyway.

And the two children......

Lu Li's eyes widened, his heart chuckled, his hands couldn't even hold the reins, it was obviously a scorching heat, but he still shivered for no reason. A chill ran down the soles of his feet all the way up to his forehead.

Those two children are still in the house, and if those people's purpose is two children, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Just thinking about it, Lu Li quickly turned the horse's body, he turned sideways, and happened to see Lin Le walking out with someone, and the other party obviously saw him too, and waved his arms, "Brother Lu, I've already found someone-"

Without waiting for the other party to finish, Lu Li interrupted loudly: "You go find someone!" I'm going back to Yuncheng! ”

After speaking, he tightened his horse's belly, raised his whip and rushed back towards Yuncheng.

Lin Le, who stayed in place, was a little confused, didn't he say that he should let Wei Xiuyuan go back and inform the government? Why did he go back?

However, he couldn't understand it, and the current matter was urgent, and he couldn't delay. According to Lu Li's previous instructions, he selected two leaders who knew a little about martial arts, plus himself, and took people to find people near the hot spring pool in three ways.

As soon as Lu Li, who rushed back to Yuncheng, entered the city, he met Wei Xiuyuan, who was about to go out of the city with several teams of people to find people.

Wei Xiuyuan was also stunned when he saw him, "Lu Li? Didn't you go and find someone, why did you come back again? ”

"Xiuyuan, how many guards are left in our mansion?" Lu Li didn't have time to tell him what happened.

The other party was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, he said: "According to our previous arrangement, half of the secret guards were left in the mansion, Lu Li, what's wrong with you?" Is there something going on over there? ”

Lu Li nodded, relieved, "I don't have time to tell you this, anyway, Lin Le has already led someone to find someone, you should go quickly, by the way, and these soldiers, send out a team of people to come with me, I want to go back to the mansion to see the children." ”

As soon as he heard the word "child", Wei Xiuyuan immediately raised his heart, he didn't care about asking more, and hurriedly assigned a team of soldiers to follow Lu Li, and then took the rest of the people out of the city to find people.

Wei Xiuyuan was worried about Xia Wanrou and the child in his heart, and for a while, the string in his heart was tight, and the slightest movement could make this string break. He gritted his teeth, and the hand that usually held the pen tightened the reins, and he didn't even feel that he was strangled blood.

So he went all the way to the hot springs, and he ordered the men and horses to find people separately, and then he himself quickly rode his horse to the farthest road.

His group just arrived in Yuncheng yesterday, even if those people discovered their whereabouts, but in such a short period of time, they must not know the purpose of their trip, so they kidnapped Xiaoman and Xia Wanrou, they must have another purpose, and they will never tear up the ticket so soon.

The hot spring pool was built next to the mountain, if it was really done by that group, they would most likely take Xiaoman and Xia Wanrou up the mountain.

As for the carriage......

The little guy in the carriage was a native of Yuncheng and had been under Lin Le for many years, and the coachman was brought by them from Shangjing, so there was no reason for either of them to defect. But if those people are ruthless and kill two people directly, so that it is convenient to kidnap Xiaoman and Xia Wanrou, such a possibility is not impossible.

"Lord Wei!"

Suddenly, there was a call from a soldier in the distance, Wei Xiuyuan didn't dare to delay, and immediately ran over, "What's the matter, is there anything new to discover?" ”

The soldier took Wei Xiuyuan to a lush bush and used his knife to push away the messy grass next to him, "Lord Wei, look! There were traces of the wheels of the carriage being run over, but the marks were very messy, and the marks on the wheels were very shallow, not like carrying people. It was very likely that the two ladies had been taken out of the carriage before this. ”

"Get rid of all these weeds!" Wei Xiuyuan commanded loudly.

"Yes!"

A group of soldiers obeyed the order and took their swords to deal with the weeds.

Soon, the weeds on the ground were cleared, and the marks of the wheels were revealed. Wei Xiuyuan took a photo, and finally saw the most obvious place where the mark changed from deep to shallow, he stopped at this place, looked left and right, and rubbed his temples with a headache.

There were weeds and trees everywhere, and there were no traces on the ground, not even a single footprint, except for the messy and complicated car wheel prints, how the hell did these people take them away?

Just when the maintenance eyes were worried, Lin Le's voice came from a distance, "Xiuyuan!" Is that you? Xiuyuan! ”

Wei Xiuyuan hurriedly followed the sound to find it, and shouted as he ran: "Lin Le, have your people found anything?" ”

"I've found someone! Xiuyuan, come on! ”

As soon as he heard this, the surrounding soldiers all surrounded him, and his maintenance eyes quickened his pace, and his heart was very worried, he clenched the knife in his hand tightly, and ran in the direction of Lin Le.

Fortunately, the terrain is complicated, but there are no plants that are too high, and a group of people found Lin Le and looked at Xiao Man and Xia Wanrou sitting beside him, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing Wei Xiuyuan coming, Xia Wanrou's tears fell uncontrollably, she stood up forcefully, and when she saw this, she hurriedly stepped forward to support her, "What happened, how did you become like this?" Why is it just the two of you? ”

"The coachman disappeared, Mr. Lin's men were killed, and Hongyu and Pearl were taken away in place of me and Xiaoman, and we barely escaped." Xia Wanrou's voice trembled, the tears on her cheeks mixed with dirt, she clenched Wei Xiuyuan's wrist, "Go and save Hongyu and Pearl." ”
