Late at night, Qi Muyuan dragged his tired body and walked on the street, his eyes scanning every corner, looking forward to the next moment, Du Jinning would appear in front of him, joking with him with a smile: "Qi Muyuan, what are you doing here in the middle of the night, sleepwalking?" ”

And yet nothing.

Except for a few barking dogs and a child's cry, the dark night was eerily silent.

Looking at the boss who was walking in front of him with heavy steps, the two subordinates behind him glanced at each other, and they both shook their heads and sighed secretly.

Fortunately, they are busy during this time, and they can take turns to rest. But Lord Qi hasn't closed his eyes since Lord Du really disappeared. In addition to dealing with the search and pursuit of the family assigned by the emperor, he is constantly looking for Lord Du.

If this continues, even those who are beaten with iron will not be able to stand it.

The most terrifying thing is that they have searched almost the entire capital like a carpet, but they have found nothing. I don't know how long this search will continue, whether Lord Qi will suddenly fall.

Suddenly, Qi Muyuan spoke: "Seventeen, have you all visited these districts?" ”

One of the people who followed hurriedly said, "Yes, my lord." According to your orders, let us send one man, and the Royal Guards send two people, form a team of three, take the household registration to the door, call all the masters and servants out one by one, and let the neighbors verify each other, and the houses are also inspected. In the past two days, most of the capital has been checked, and only the mixed place in the southern district has not been checked. ”

seemed to know what Qi Muyuan wanted to say, and without waiting for him to speak, he said again: "Don't worry, my lord, we know that the matter is very important, and we have carefully checked it, and we dare not be negligent." The people who were drawn out to form a search team were all people who had seen Master Du. Everyone has been in this line of work for so long, as long as there is a clue, it will not escape our eyes. ”

Qi Muyuan's slightly opened mouth closed again.

Now is the critical moment for Zhao Yu to attack the family and regain power, as the head of Zhao Yu's secret agency, he has no way to personally look for Du Jinning during the day. Rao was not worried about his subordinates, and he had to let them do it.

He was about to say a few more words to his subordinates, when he saw someone riding a horse running in the distance, and the three of them immediately looked over there, and at the same time entered a state of alert.

There is no curfew in the Great Song Dynasty, but no one will ride a horse on the street without special circumstances.

"Master, it's me." Immediately, there was the sound of watching chess.

Everyone relaxed.

Watching the chess and riding the horse, he walked in front of the three of them, turned over and dismounted, and said to Qi Muyuan: "Young master, the old lady asked the villain to call you back." ”

Qi Muyuan frowned: "Did you say something?" ”

Guan Qi shook his head: "It's a very important thing." ”

Seventeen hurriedly said: "My lord, you go back, here the two of us can patrol." ”

Qi Muyuan pursed his lips and glanced at the two of them, and nodded: "Okay." That's hard work. ”

So saying, he walked to the crossing, untied the rope of the horse tied to the tree, turned over his horse, and galloped away.

Guanqi hurriedly followed.

After a while, the two arrived at the Qi Mansion, Qi Muyuan entered the gate, and was about to go to Qi Bokun's courtyard, when he heard the old man Shen who was guarding the door say, "Young master, the old lady is waiting for you in your courtyard." ”

Qi Muyuan hurriedly turned around and went back to his yard.

When I entered the courtyard gate, I saw Qi Bokun sitting alone in the hall, and his figure was stretched by the candle flame for a long time.

"Grandfather." Qi Muyuan went over and saluted.

Looking at his grandson, who had a scruffy beard, deep-set eyes, bloodshot eyes, and a large loss of weight, Qi Bokun was very distressed.

He motioned for Qi Muyuan to sit down, poured him a cup of tea with his own hands, turned his head and instructed Guan Qi: "Go and ask the kitchen to bring the stewed ginseng soup." ”

"No, grandfather." Qi Muyuan said busily.

He couldn't eat anything.

Qi Bokun waved his hand at Guanqi, signaling him to do as he was told, then turned his head to look at Qi Muyuan, sighed, and persuaded: "Haven't we analyzed it?" Du Jinning must have gone by himself. You also know what kind of person she is. Since she went by herself, she would definitely be able to ensure her safety. ”

He paused: "So, don't worry too much. If you continue like this, your mind and body will collapse. ”

Qi Muyuan stretched out his hand and rubbed his face, his voice became extremely hoarse due to fatigue: "But there is also a certain probability that she was taken away." ”

"What are you doing with her captivity? Now she is a hot potato, and when she is discovered, the whole family will suffer. Qi Bokun said.

Qi Muyuan shook his head: "Grandfather, you said that in order not to be held responsible, it is very likely that her captors will kill her, bury her quietly, and treat it as if nothing happened." ”

Thinking of this possibility, Qi Muyuan's heart ached as if it had been torn apart.

The thought that she might be facing life and death at this time made my heart hurt so much that I couldn't breathe. The sooner we find her, the more she may survive. So I can't sit at home and not move. I can't stay at home either. ”

When Qi Bokun heard this, he couldn't help but sigh when he saw his grandson, who was so emaciated that he might fall down at any time.

When Thirteen was rescued and Du Jinning disappeared, he was worried that Qi Muyuan guessed that Du Jinning was leaving by himself, and did not show extreme worry, and was suspicious when Zhao Yu saw it, he not only did not comfort his grandson, but also told the worst.

didn't expect that caring would be chaotic, he was already very worried if he didn't say that Qi Muyuan; As soon as he said that, Qi Muyuan's painful and crazy performance simply frightened Qi Bokun.

You must know that three days have passed since he came back from the thirteenth, and Qi Muyuan has hardly closed his eyes in these three days.

Not only did he have to complete the task of searching and chasing down the fugitive family assigned by Zhao Yu, but he also had to find time to find Du Jinning. For fear that his subordinates would not do their best, as long as he had time, he would go all over the city to find it by himself.

Qi Bokun was very worried that Du Jinning would not be found, so Qi Muyuan fell first.

He regretted that he had made the situation so serious.

However, he understood that what he thought of, Qi Muyuan would think of; What he didn't expect, Qi Muyuan would still think of. Even if he doesn't say it, Qi Muyuan will still be in this state.

He could only persuade Qi Muyuan bitterly: "You have to believe Du Jinning, she has been able to disguise herself as a man for so many years, and she has also participated in the imperial examination, but no one has found out, it can be seen how cautious and wise she is, can she be easily harmed?" ”

"In addition, the way to deal with the family is what she came up with in advance, and you know how meticulous this plan is. She can lay out such a big game, and she knows the development of the situation like a god, so escaping from the control of the family and you and me is a piece of cake for her. She must be staying in a house in peace now, living in another capacity, and there is no need for you to be like this now. ”
