380. Chapter 381
In the inn in the wilderness, a crowd of people is bustling around the lobby.
Qu Boyin packed his bags and was about to go to Sun Yao's room, but he caught a glimpse of the situation in the lobby, so he stopped for a moment and looked over:
An old man was lying on a straw mat in the middle of them.
The people around were talking, and although Qu Boyin couldn't hear clearly, he could feel that their affairs were a little serious.
"Even the old man didn't let go, look at the few knife cuts on his neck, most of them were done by deserters. Someone in the crowd said.
"This old man is too, now the war is in chaos, everyone is in danger, and he even came out alone to walk this road," the shopkeeper saw so many people blocked in the lobby, and was a little unhappy, "Hey, I'll give money, and the two of you will come out and find a place for him to bury in the mountains, and disperse." ”
"The head of the house, this old man doesn't seem to have come alone, I remember that he seemed to have driven a carriage and brought a silver-haired girl," the shopkeeper recognized the deceased, "Yes, it's him, the master and servant, an old man and a young man, came from the direction of the Eastern Desert, and I heard that he was going to take the girl to the Central Plains." ”
"He didn't mean anything, but there was a beautiful little girl with silver hair who came with the old man," said another onlooker, "and that girl with big silver hair and big eyes is very ingenious, and I must be the only one who has seen it." ”
"Well, I've seen this girl before," said another shopkeeper, "with silver-white hair, about sixteen or seventeen years old—"
"Sixteen or seven?" I remembered, the little girl made a big deal, and bought food for her coachman, it turned out that this old man was her coachman," the shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief, "Third child, you go and inform the girl to come down to identify the body, if necessary, you are looking for someone to drive them back to the Eastern Desert, and you want to report to the official how to follow them." ”
"The girl is long gone," replied the second, "and earlier this day, when I passed by the door of her house, there was no one inside, and then her carriage was also on the road, and I said that the master and servant had gone together. ”
"I don't think this girl is ordinary," the onlookers said to the shopkeeper, "don't worry about her, what girl is not a girl, how can there be an ordinary girl who came to the Central Plains from the Eastern Desert alone in a broken carriage, anyway, she also gave you a lot of silver, there are people who die unjustly every day, you will pay some silver taels, and a few of us will carry this old man out and bury it." ”
Although Qu Boyin did not speak in the distance, he listened carefully and did not drop a word.
Silver-haired sixteen or seventeen-year-old girls, there are not many in this world, and they happen to be in the country of Ma Si, if nothing else, most of them are Qi Yingli. But if it's really Yingli, then there will inevitably be Chen Yin, but I only heard this group of people mention the old man lying in the hall, and they didn't say that there was a third person with them.
But now that the old man who was with Yingli has died, it must not be Yingli or Chen Yin's doing, so Yingli is probably in danger, or has already been killed.
Thinking of this, Qu Boyin couldn't help but feel nervous.
Chen Yin saved the person he was happy with, and he couldn't let Chen Yin's confidante suffer under his nose.
"Little brother," Qu Boyin shouted from afar, "do you remember which direction the girl's carriage went?"
The crowd turned to look at him, saying only that he was another curious spectator.
"I didn't see it, but if you want to leave by carriage, there is only one way, you have to go south for a few miles, where there is a fork in the road, and then to the right is to go to the Eastern Desert, and to the left is to go to the Central Plains. ”
Qu Boyin knew that fork in the road, and he and Sun Yao came from there. If it weren't for the fact that it was already dark, the two of them wouldn't have stumbled into this inn by mistake.
Now he knows more or less about Chen Yin's whereabouts, although he can't be 100% sure, but Qu Boyin feels that he has to catch up with the carriage to find out, if it is really Yingli, then he can not only ensure her safety, but also save Sun Yao more than half of the effort to find Chen Yin. If not, it won't delay them much.
On the other side, Mo Lin also found Yingli's derivation.
"You said that the four people who kidnapped her have the power to do it?" said Morey, frowning.
"Ah," Mo Lin nodded, "The tallest person is the Hundred Silence Realm. ”
"I knew that the deal you took was not a simple search for someone, otherwise how could someone else pay so many silver taels," Mo Long said, "What type of Yanli are they?"
"It's hard to tell," Mo Lin said while paying attention to their strength, "The person we are looking for is in the carriage, and the other three people are surrounding her, but the strength of those three people is not high, if the eldest brother goes directly there, he can easily take that girl." ”
"Alright," Morey looked in the direction of Morin, "how far is it from here?"
"Three miles away, big brother, you can see them just in the southeast direction," Mo Lin said, "When you arrive, I will inform that girl and let him cooperate with you." ”
"You two are waiting here," said Morey, moving slightly, "I'll go first." ”
