Cai Wei whispered: "Then, isn't he the person who arranged a hotel for us along the way?" ”

“……”

I was silent for a moment, then turned to look at her, "What do you think?" Do you think it's him? ”

"I think?" Cai Wei frowned and thought for a while, then shook her head: "I can't think of it." ”

"If you can't think of it, then think about it."

Hearing me say this, Cai Wei bit her lower lip again, stood beside me and didn't move, gently twisting the wet and cold towel in her hand, after a while, I felt her twist the towel over and over several times, and there were water drips falling to the floor, I raised my head and asked, "How are you thinking?" ”

"I think it's possible, it's not possible," she said. ”

"How?"

"Possibly, it's because he's rich."

"Hmm."

"All the things we arranged for us along the way are good wine and food, good rooms, this kind of cost is not small, how can ordinary people have such spare money?"

"Makes sense," I nodded, "Go ahead." ”

"No way, because, I don't know what he's doing it for."

As she spoke, she looked at me and said with a puzzled face, "Madam, if he is really the one who took care of us along the way, then why didn't he show up to meet Madame?" I think he's okay, smiling like a Maitreya Buddha, not like some kind of traitor. ”

“……”

What was he doing this for? Does Madame know? ”

I was noncommittal about her words, only silent for a moment, and then said, "You're right, where he is possible and impossible. ”

"What the hell—"

"Whether it's him or not depends on what we do next."

“……”

As I spoke, I slowly stood up and walked to the door, pushed open the hidden door, and looked at the brightly lit lobby below, where Boss Wang was still sitting motionless, and the wine and food on the table did not move a single chopstick, as if he was pondering something.

And my mood became heavier and heavier as the night outside.

The next morning, at the hour of the hour.

Lao Zhong got up early in the morning and went to the backyard to prepare his carriage, Cai Wei and I also freshened up early and went downstairs, and saw the door, Boss Wang's carriage was also waiting there, he himself sat at a table in the lobby, was drinking soy milk and eating oil cakes, as soon as he saw us going downstairs, he immediately waved and smiled: "Madam, morning." ”

"Boss Wang, early."

I walked over with Caiwei, only to see that there were still porridge dishes on the table, which had not been touched, and I knew that it was prepared for us at a glance. Boss Wang said with a smile: "Here, I don't know Madame's taste, so I just asked Xiao Er to prepare some." Madame will use some of it. ”

I didn't give him any politeness, sat down like a stream, ate a bowl of porridge, and broke half a steamed bun, and he was full.

Then, our carriage also came over.

The horses rested all day, and at this time they were in good spirits, shaking their heads constantly, and their shiny manes were constantly flying in the morning mist, and they looked particularly energetic. Boss Wang walked to our carriage, looked at the old clock that was driving the carriage, looked at the inside of the carriage, turned back to me and said, "Madam, why don't you find a more comfortable carriage." It's been a bumpy road, and the lady is delicate and expensive, but how can she stand it? ”

I laughed, "Where is there such a delicate one?" Besides, Cai Wei cleaned up the inside very well, and it wasn't too bumpy. ”

Boss Wang still shook his head: "Or, Mrs. will change with the contemptible person?" ”

I hurriedly shook my head: "I can't help it, I can't help it." ”

"But this—"

"Boss Wang, don't be polite, if I'm really difficult, I'll naturally tell you."

He seemed to be a little relieved, but seeing that I insisted like this, it was not good to say anything, so he could only step aside, watch Cai Wei help me into the carriage, and told Lao Zhong a few words, let him drive smoothly on the road, don't bump me, and then walk away. As soon as I got into the car, I moved to the window, lifted the curtains and looked out.

There was no one with him.

And I distinctly remember that last night there was a man behind the carriage at the door.

Cai Wei slowly moved to my side, followed my gaze to Boss Wang's carriage, and whispered, "Madam, what are you looking at?" ”

I didn't speak, but looked back at the inn, and there was no one in it looking like they were coming out.

I slowly lowered the curtains: "It's nothing. ”

Turning my head, I saw that Cai Wei was still blinking at me with big eyes, and I smiled faintly: "Let's get on the road." ”

All the way with Boss Wang, the journey was neither fast nor slow, but it seemed to have recovered to the previous situation.

Every time I go to a post station, he must have instructed the shopkeeper to prepare the wine and food and the room for us, he is worthy of being a big boss for many years, and he is quite generous, and, all the way to the north, closer and closer to the capital, there are more and more post stations, and more and more prosperous, he does not know how many times he has run from south to north, and he is very familiar with this road, and he has arranged for us, which is indeed much more convenient.

Three days later, we arrived in Baoding.

Once after Baoding, it has entered the scope of the capital, this section of the official road people come and go, cars come and go, goods come and go, lively and extraordinary, but walking and walking, the carriage stopped.

Cai Wei asked through the curtain, "Old Zhong, what's wrong?" ”

Lao Zhong said outside: "Ahead, Boss Wang's car also stopped." Everyone stopped. ”

It's all stopped?

Puzzled, I moved to the window and lifted the curtain to look out, and sure enough, on the wide road, the carriages and merchants had all stopped, and there was a long queue.

What's going on?

I frowned slightly, looked out for a while, then Boss Wang also got off his carriage, I don't know if it was because he had been stuffy in the carriage for too long, he was sweaty, holding a handkerchief in his hand and kept wiping, walked a few steps forward, I don't know what he saw, what he heard, and when he came back, his face was full of sadness, and slowly walked to my carriage.

I leaned on the window and asked softly, "Boss Wang, what's going on in front?" ”

"There's a checkpoint ahead of you that checks people passing by."

"Levels? Examine? I frowned and said, "What's going on in the capital?" Are you looking into those Jiangyang thieves? ”

"It's not."

"No, what's that looking for?"

"Those people didn't say anything, but it seems that they are not looking for fugitives, but looking for people."

"Looking for someone?"

My brows furrowed even tighter, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Boss Wang, is it the local government here that set up the checkpoint, or—"

"No, it's not local, it seems, it's someone from the military department."

My heart skipped a beat.

Someone from the military department?!
