Xiao Yilan was still a little worried about Meng Lin, and asked again: "I wonder if Master Hou's subordinates have found the girl who walked with us?"

"Not yet, but Xiao Xiaowang doesn't have to worry, in this Yangxun City, I, Song Wenzheng, still have some power, I believe that I will be able to find that girl in the near future." Xiao Xiaowang may wish to stay in my mansion for two days, and after a good rest, I will send you north back to Benhai City. ”

Xiao Yilan said casually: "That's no need, we don't plan to go back to Benhai City, we want to go south through Yuanzhou." ”

Song Wenzheng's face suddenly became a little strange, he laughed dryly, and asked, "I don't know why Xiao Xiaowang went south?"

Xiao Yilan immediately realized that he was talking too much, so he smiled and said: "My father has been with Wei Guogong in Yunzhou for several months, and my eldest brother has taken over the affairs of Benhai City, and no one can take care of me, so I have nothing to do, and I want to travel around to pass the time." I have long heard that the forests of southern Xinjiang are vast and boundless, and I have grown up by the sea since I was a child, and I have never seen a dense forest stretching for thousands of miles, so I came out with a few guards to see it with my own eyes. ”

"The dog unintentionally killed several of the little prince's guards, Song really didn't want to go, if he let the little prince go south, if something happened, the prince of Chengji would also blame Song for his negligence. It's better for Song to arrange some people to protect Xiao Xiaowangye, and it should be Song to make amends. Song Wenzheng's fat face was still smiling, but the light in his eyes flashed.

Xiao Yilan glanced at Luo Yu quietly, and when he saw that he also frowned slightly, he strengthened his judgment even more, and said with a smile: "Marquis Song is polite, but there is no danger in southern Xinjiang, it is nothing more than some beast miasma, and the more people there are, the more troublesome it is." So there's no need to trouble the prince, I'm ...... Enough of us guys. He almost said that he had three guards waiting outside the city. You always have to leave some hole cards for yourself outside, and he secretly reminds himself in his heart to always keep an eye on it.

Song Wenzheng smiled and took a sip of wine, and then said with a smile: "Little Lord Xiao is reasonable. However, if Xiao Xiao Wang Ye needs the help of Yuanzhou, please also ask Xiao Xiao Wang Ye not to be polite. ”

Xiao Yilan hurriedly said: "That's that." The two sides exchanged a few more pleasantries, but the banquet was not as lively as before, and Xiao Yilan and Luo Yuli Zheng retired after eating.

Xiao Yilan said goodbye to Song Wenzheng with a polite smile, turned around, but his face suddenly became very solemn.

"Song Wenzheng is a little abnormal. He seemed to be very concerned about our trip to southern Xinjiang, and when I talked about southern Xinjiang, his face changed. Xiao Yilan said with a frown.

Luo Yu nodded in agreement: "Yes, it seems abnormal for him to ask the guards to go with us, but I am surprised that he gave up this idea without insisting, there should be some follow-up." Second Young Master, it is not advisable to stay here for a long time, let's leave as soon as possible, and we will leave when we find Miss Meng. ”

"I also plan to do the same, but Miss Meng hasn't been found yet, and I'm worried that Song Wen is grabbing her to blackmail us. Xiao Yilan sighed.

Li Zheng suggested: "Then it's better for us to go out and find it ourselves tonight than to wait here." ”

"I agree, I'll go out tonight, find the three people outside the city first, and then go to Miss Meng together. Luo Yu agreed.

Xiao Yilan looked at Luo Yu and asked worriedly, "Brother Luo, are your injuries okay, is it okay to be alone?"

"Out of the way. Luo Yu nodded.

"It's better for you to go with Brother Luo Li Zheng, and you can also take care of it. If I stay in the Hou Mansion, I don't think they will turn their faces immediately. ”

Li Zheng seemed to be a little surprised, hesitated for a moment, widened his eyes and smiled: "I don't have the skills of Big Brother Luo, if there is a fight outside, won't I still drag my feet?

"No, you can't. Xiao Yilan shook his head decisively, "Meng Lin hasn't been found yet, let's escape, what if Meng Lin falls into their hands?" You two don't worry, I will stay, there is still room for both sides, you go out to find someone, presumably they have no reason to stop you, so you are safer." ”

Li Zheng opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't think of any other way but to agree. After the three of them had made up their minds, they went back to their lodgings to rest.

After sending off Xiao Yilan and the others, Song Wenzheng returned to the main hall and sat on the main seat, tapping his fingers on the table next to him, Song Zhuo knew that his father was thinking, so he stood aside and waited for him to speak.

After a long time, Song Wenzheng sighed and said, "I didn't want to have a conflict with Benhai City, but if this second young master of the Xiao family really ......" He suddenly stopped, and only after a moment did he continue: "That price is also something we can't afford." ”

Song Zhuo asked, "What is my father going to do?" He swiped his finger lightly between his throat, one second he still needed to grovel, and the next second he was going to kill and kill his mouth, this kind of turn made his heart very happy.

Song Wenzheng shook his head and said, "Don't worry, we have to figure out their purpose first." Tell me to go down and find her quickly, not only in the city, but also outside the city. The sooner we find her, we will have enough leverage. ”

"Yes. Song Zhuo replied.

"It's best that they have nothing to do with that incident, then we don't have to do too much, otherwise we ......" Song Wenzheng sighed, but his tone was very firm.

waited until it was completely dark before Xiao Yilan walked out of his residence, and Li Zheng and Luo Yu found an excuse to leave the Gaoqin Marquis' Mansion. Song Wenzheng didn't seem to intend to restrict them, and after a brief inquiry about where they were going, the guards let them out.

As Xiao Yilan expected, Song Wenzheng only had to watch Xiao Yilan firmly, and he was not afraid of what waves others would make. Xiao Yilan deliberately wandered around the Gaoqin Marquis Mansion to show his calmness, but he was always worried about whether Li Zheng and Luo Yu could find Meng Lin.

Originally, Song Wenzheng placed a few maids to serve him, but they were all dismissed by him at this time, but they seemed to be entrusted by Song Wenzheng and still followed from afar, and Xiao Yilan also let them. With a string of tails behind him, he went to a courtyard and looked at the flowers and trees standing by the wall. At this time, it is already spring, and the weather in Wonju is warm and humid, which is suitable for the flowers to bloom. Xiao Yilan saw that Song Wenzheng was rich, and thought that there would be rich flowers such as peonies in the mansion of Marquis Gaoqin, but in front of him, there were white magnolia trees after trees.

Xiao Yilan stood under the porch, there was a vacant lot next to the walkway, and then there was a flower forest. The entire flower forest in the courtyard in front of him was full of magnolias, and although Xiao Yilan was a little far away, he could still smell the faint fragrance coming from the wind. His heart moved, he turned over and jumped off the guardrail under the porch, and walked into the flower forest.

Walking between a piece of white petals, the flowers gently sway with the wind, like a white candle, fresh and elegant, white and clean. In a peaceful and quiet atmosphere, Xiao Yilan took a deep breath, catching the sweet fragrance of flowers in the air, and suddenly there was a slight sound of footsteps behind him. He looked out between the branches and leaves of the flower tree, and saw only that the man was dressed as a maid, but his face was just blocked, and he couldn't see clearly.

Xiao Yilan only said that it was the maid sent by Song Wenzheng who found that she was missing and came up to investigate, and she didn't care, she gently folded a flower and looked at it in front of her. The maid did not speak, but sat on the handrail by the side of the corridor, as if admiring the flower forest.

I only heard a familiar voice passing over with the fragrance of flowers: "Does Childe like this flower?"

Xiao Yilan was surprised and delighted, this was clearly Meng Lin's voice, but there was not much joy of reunion in her tone. Xiao Yilan hurriedly turned around, a shadow leaned under the porch, Meng Lin was really wearing the clothes of a maid, sitting on the edge of the corridor, but she didn't look at Xiao Yilan, only looked at the pieces of magnolia in front of her and was a little distracted.
