Chapter 44: It's Impossible
Murong Chu frowned slightly, and his heart was not good. Sure enough, Seventeen clenched his fists and whispered, "Master, the son is gone." ”
"When?" Murong Chu's body stiffened.
"Chen Shiwei." Seventeen replied.
Murong Chu scolded angrily: "Why didn't you report it to me earlier?" ”
"The subordinates are not doing well, please punish the master. When his subordinates arrived, the general was discussing the matter, so it was inconvenient to disturb him. The subordinates immediately sent people to find the traces of the son. Seventeen lowered his head and said carefully.
"In detail." Murong Chu forcibly suppressed the worry and anger in his heart.
After the seventeenth general roughly talked about it, Murong Chu flew on the horse after hearing this, and his legs were forced, and the oolong horse immediately galloped out like a cloud-piercing arrow, and in a moment came to the tea shop that the seventeenth said. The tea shop had been emptied, and there was not a single guest, and it was guarded by the seventeen guards before and after.
Murong Chu dismounted and threw the reins in his hand to the guards at the door, and strode into the tea shop. Mama He, who was sitting next to a tea table wiping her tears, saw Murong Chu come in, knelt in front of him with a "poof", and tears rained down: "General, the son is gone, the slave deserves death, please punish the general." ”
The shopkeeper and the guy of the tea shop also hurriedly knelt on the ground, and the two of them were so frightened by Murong Chu's cold that they didn't even dare to come out.
Murong Chu took a long breath, and said coldly: "Let's talk about how people don't see each other first." ”
Mama He held back her sorrow and said tremblingly: "The son has come to this tea shop to drink tea for the past two days, and the slave and maid are waiting outside the door, and the same is true today." The slave heard Childe say that his stomach hurt outside, so he hurriedly came in and asked Childe what was wrong. Childe said that it was okay, but he just wanted to go to the toilet, so the guy took Childe to the backyard. The slave maid originally wanted to follow, but the son said to let the slave and maid wait in front, and she would come back in a while. ”
"After more than a quarter of an hour, the boy didn't come back, so the slave and maid asked the man to take the slave and maid to the toilet in the backyard, but the son was not in it at all." Mama He wiped her tears and continued, "At that time, the slave maid was frightened, and hurriedly called the shopkeeper to look for it, but there was no one in the backyard. Son...... Childe is gone. ”
"Take me to the backyard." Murong Chu's gaze swept over the shopkeeper and the guy at the tea shop, making the two of them shudder. The man's legs were so weak that he couldn't stand up, but the shopkeeper pulled him, and then he walked to the backyard trembling slightly.
The guy regretted in his heart as he walked, although no one told him who the person was, but Mama He called him "general", and saw him with a murderous aura, could it be the general? If he had known this, let alone give him ten taels of silver, even if he gave him one hundred taels or one thousand taels, he would not help that little boy.
Now, it's useless to regret it, so I can only grit my teeth and say that I don't know anything. The man made up his mind, and his steps were much firmer, although his legs were still weak, but he finally didn't have to drag him with the shopkeeper.
When he arrived in the backyard, Seventeen pointed out the various rooms to Murong Chu and whispered something in his ear. Murong Chu's brows tightened more and more, and as Seventeen looked at the entire courtyard, he turned around from the backyard door to the alley mouth, and then asked the shopkeeper and the guy: "Is this courtyard door usually locked?" ”
"Yes, sometimes locked." The shopkeeper replied tremblingly, "The small shop buys goods, pours swill out, and these chores are all from the back door." ”
"Locked up this morning?" Murong Chu asked.
The shopkeeper elbowed the man's arm and asked him to answer. The man was bold and said, "Today the grain shop is coming to deliver food, and it has not been locked after it has been opened in the morning." ”
Murong Chu looked the guy up and down: "I heard that the son came in the past two days, and you served it?" ”
The man shuddered, hung his head, and said, "Hui big, big, yes, it's the little one who serves." There is only one small guy in the small shop, and the customers who come and come are all small to serve. ”
"Did Childe ask or say anything?" Murong Chu stared at the guy and asked.
"No, no." The man replied, "Childe only praised the tea in the small shop for its deliciousness, and said nothing else." ”
"You took her to the backyard today?" Murong Chu's voice was even colder, so cold that the guy's knees involuntarily weakened, he knelt on the ground, and kowtowed again and again: "Big, adult, the small one just sent the son to the toilet and went back, back to the front to greet the other guests, and the one who was present at the time and the time can be used as a small proof and proof." Beg your lords to spare your life! ”
"Go home." Murong Chu coldly threw down two words, turned around and walked out of the tea shop from the front, rode away on the oolong horse. Seventeen picked up the man from the ground and dragged him to the front and handed him to one of the guards: "Take him back to the house." He also called Mama He to go to the former Taishou Mansion together.
When Mama He returned to the small courtyard, the door of the room where Mo Li had lived was closed, and the guard at the door told her that the general was inside. Mama He hesitated for a moment and slowly knelt outside the door.
Murong Chu sat at the small Eight Immortals table in the room, holding a letter in his hand, and the small silk characters on it were Mo Li's handwriting. The letter he found under his pillow contained only a few words on a single page: farewell, do not seek, do not read, may the general be well.
With just one sentence, Murong Chu's heart hurt very much, he wanted to tear up the letter, but he couldn't bear it after all. I just held it in my hand and looked at it over and over again, and my heart sank and sank. Before the army set out, he saw that Mo Li was ready to leave, he thought that she was afraid of war, and arranged everything for her in Laizhou County.
When Mo Li arrived in front of him in embarrassment after a night of driving, he felt that the blood all over his body was boiling. Although he didn't show it on his face, his heart was extremely warm, and this heartless girl finally had a little heart.
Murong Chu even thought a lot about the future, but now, she fled with only a few words, it seems that she really shouldn't have been so indulgent before.
Seventeen's low voice came from outside the door: "Master, Mu Gongzi is here." ”
Murong Chu folded the letter and put it in his arms, then stood up and said, "Come in." ”
Mu Qingyun pushed the door in, and asked eagerly, "What happened to Xiao Lili?" ”
"It's okay," Murong Chu said with a gloomy face, "She left by herself." ”
"Why? I was here the afternoon before yesterday, she was fine, how can she say that she will leave? Mu Qingyun turned around and closed the door, lowering his voice, "You guys quarreled?" ”
Murong Chu sighed and said, "These two days are either in the military camp or accompanying the King of Jin, I don't have time to come over, how can I quarrel." Besides, we have nothing to quarrel about. ”
"Didn't you send Seventeen to protect her secretly? How did she get there? It's impossible to escape under the noses of the Dark Guard without even noticing! Mu Qingyun said suspiciously.
