Chapter 100: Missing
As soon as Wen Ye's voice fell, he suddenly remembered that Mo Yan had gone to Liangzhou this morning, and it would take several days to see each other again this time, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart: he was really angry, and the two of them missed it as soon as they separated.
Two days later, Mo Yan rushed to Liangzhou day and night, and Mo Yan did not go directly to Mo Houye, but went to Xue Xingyi's big tent.
"General Xue Zheng, how is Master Mo?"
Mo Yan bowed his hand, and did not explain his intention directly, Xue Xingyi saw that he looked tired, and knew that he was coming in a hurry, and he didn't talk nonsense and told the truth directly.
"I only saw Mo Hou Ye in the tent the day before yesterday, and his body was very tough, but he left the camp in a panic this morning, and he hadn't returned yet."
"Thank you."
Mo Yan went out of the big tent and ran to the military tent of Mo Hou Ye, he had to find his father's chief and deputy general to understand the situation first, but neither of them knew what Mo Hou Ye was doing when he left the camp, only that he went to Shuofang Village in Pingkang County alone. @η²Ύε\/Shuge*First update~~ When Mo Yan arrived there with the guards, it was already dark, and Mo Yan could only find Mo Houye's old department again for help.
"Little Marquis."
A swarthy middle-aged man in his forties bowed his hand, it was Team Leader Li who had entered the desert with Mo Yan a few months ago.
"Uncle Li doesn't have to be polite."
Mo Yan strode forward to help him up, the man used to be the deputy general under his father's command, and he couldn't lift a sharp weapon when he injured his tendons in the war, so Mo Hou allowed him to return to his hometown to marry a little lady and live a good life.
Who knew that General Li was not living a good life, and set up a desert team, which specially led people across the desert to and from the border between the two countries, and they charged half of the commission of the dart board, but only accepted small caravans or people in difficulty, which made the people who went back and forth to visit relatives between the two countries very happy, and they were no longer afraid of encountering bandits or the dart board to sit on the ground and raise the price.
"Etiquette still has to be obtained!"
Team Leader Li grinned, he could see that the little marquis really had no regrets in his life when he married a wife and had children.
"Today's wine will definitely be made up for when I go back."
Mo Yan never broke his word, every time he came to Li's house, he would bring a jar of good wine, today I asked Leader Li to bring wine in a hurry, and Mo Yan will definitely make up for him when he finishes his work.
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say!"
Team Leader Li has no other hobby but loves to drink, because when he was young, he didn't let Mo Hou Ye train, and there was a saying in the military camp: General Li and Mo Xiaohou are people who can't be controlled by military law!
The two looked at each other and smiled, and a tacit smile was worth a thousand words.
"Get down to business."
Team Leader Li raised his hand and wiped his face, the little marquis came from the capital to just look at him, something must have happened. Mo Yan suppressed the smile on his face, and did not hide it, and directly asked about the whereabouts of Mo Houye.
"I came today to inquire about my father, do you know where he is?"
Team Leader Li raised his eyes to look at the upper left, and after a while, he thought of something, and hurriedly replied: "I remember, since the last time I went to the desert with the little marquis, I have paid more attention to the movements of the caravan. Mo Hou Ye has been in private with the leader of a Jingping Kingdom caravan a few times recently, and it should be the spies planted by Mo Hou Ye in Jing Ping Kingdom. β
Team Leader Li said very surely, with his understanding of Mo Hou Ye, there is no doubt that the leader is a spy, but Mo Hou Ye has rarely come forward in person in recent years, and this time there must be something very important to say.
"What did they say?"
Mo Yan frowned and was puzzled, Mo Hou Ye had completely changed his personality since his mother's death, he began to be cautious, and sometimes even looked ahead. In the past, when he led troops to fight, Marquis Mo would rush to the front, but then he was timid, hiding in the military camp and rarely responding to the battle in person, it was a pity that he was full of martial arts.
"This is a secret, my people are just secretly protecting Hou Ye, and only then did I see that Hou Ye had met him twice, and there was no way else to know."
Team Leader Li shook his head, he was no longer a close confidant of Master Hou, and he would not know that the spies were military secrets.
Mo Yan's brows furrowed even tighter, this person was afraid that this person was the last person he had seen before his father disappeared, if he was found, it would be easy to do, maybe the two of them would be together.
"Oh, yes! My brother said that after the docking person left, the Hou Ye kept muttering, what a mountain and what Yao, it seems to be a poem......"
Team Leader Li is a big boss, where can he write poetry and songs, and his younger brother was in a panic and didn't remember much.
"If it weren't for the jade mountain, I would meet Yaotai under the moon."

Chapter 100: Missing
Mo Yan's thin lips opened lightly, and he read the poem out slowly, and Team Leader Li was instantly excited, there are too few people in Liangzhou who read books, and he has not heard anyone chant poetry for a long time since he left Hou Ye.
"Does the little marquis know what this means?"
Mo Yan frowned and nodded, not knowing how to explain it to Team Leader Li, this matter has been going on for some years, and I am afraid that he will not remember or know it at all.
"Uncle Li remembers that my mother had a brother?"
Team Leader Li's eyes widened, it turned out to be related to Mrs. Luo, no wonder Hou Ye was so abnormal.
"I remember, his name seems to be Luo Yue...... Yes, it's this name, Hou Ye has been looking for more than 20 years, isn't he finding it now? β
Mo Yan didn't think so, this person has disappeared for more than 20 years, why did he suddenly appear, I am afraid that someone with a heart did it intentionally, but the top priority is to find his father first.
"Tomorrow morning, I will go out of Shuofang Pass to Jingping Kingdom."
"I'll go get ready."
Mo Yan returned to the place where he had found a good place to stay, and ordered the people below to guard this place and wait for him to come back, he hung a silver bell under the eaves after dinner, and after a while, Cheng Ruying appeared in the house and bowed to Mo Yan.
"The Shadow Guard is coming so fast."
Mo Yan put down the tea cup in his hand, his frowning brows stretched slightly, since he knew about Cheng Ruying and the third lady of the Wen family, he always wanted to see him again.
"The little marquis can't go back for the time being, do you want to send a message to the young lady?"
"Looks like you've guessed what you saw today."
Mo Yan nodded, took a sip of tea, and told Cheng Ruying about today's events. If the handwritten letter is to be sent to him by fast horse, he is afraid that it will be too late, and if he uses the carrier pigeon of the "Banshan Pavilion" to bring the secret letter back to Beijing, it will be delivered in less than two days.
"Tell the truth in the letter, I promise not to hide it from her."
Mo Yan thought of the smile on Wen Ye's face unconsciously, and when he thought of her disappointed expression after reading the letter, his heart suddenly felt uncomfortable.
"MeSign requires special character writing, if the little marquis has nothing to do, I will step back."
Cheng Ruying was about to leave after raising her feet after speaking, Mo Yan hurriedly shouted, "Wait." β
Cheng Ruying stopped, and Mo Yan walked over to close the door, looking at him with a little sadness in his eyes.
"Three years ago, when I picked up Miss Wen, she still had a breath, and she said, ......"
Cheng Ruying clenched his fists and turned around, and Mo Yan hesitated again and again but spoke.
"She said, "There is an afterlife to be your wife."
Cheng Ruying's shoulders fell instantly, and all the silent tears slipped down, Mo Yan just paused and continued.
"I think I said it to you, you were behind me at the time, did you hear it?"
"Well, she looked at me and said ......"
Cheng Ruying choked up and replied, wiped away the tears with his backhand, raised his head to prevent the tears in his eyes from falling again, he clenched the scabbard and turned around and bowed his hand slightly, turned around and jumped out of the window.
"It's a pity that a couple of beautiful people."
Mo Yan was infected by his sad emotions, if it was really Ting'er who fell that day, in the face of his lover whose face was ruined and the arrow in his body, he believed that he couldn't bear it like a shadow, and that kind of pain must be unbearable for life.
Early in the morning, Mo Yan and Li led the team to arrive at Shuofang Pass. This time, Team Leader Li only found two helpers, and they were also the people who entered the desert team last time. The two of them don't look very old, one of them is even two years younger than Mo Yan, but they were born and raised in the desert, and they are all too familiar with the desert in front of them.
"Our luck is good, only one caravan has crossed the border to Jingping Kingdom in this half month, and it happens to be today."
Team Leader Li was obviously a little excited, he hadn't crossed the desert since the war broke out a few years ago, not that he didn't want it to be that Marquis Mo didn't allow it, but he didn't expect to enter this yellow sand again to find him.
"So little?"
Mo Yan was surprised, the two countries had ceased war at the beginning of the year, and Jing Pingguo was completely defeated this time, and a county was also ceded to the west of Yinshan, thanks to Wang Xuan'er who came up with a way to extinguish the fire of stone grease with sand.
"Although the war has subsided, after the war, wolves and bandits often appear near the desert, and small caravans dare not enter and exit."
Team Leader Li sighed softly, the lives of the people are often the most affected by the war, so Mo Hou Ye has been guarding here for more than 20 years, and now he is a young and promising General Xue Xiao. (This chapter is not finished!) )
Chapter 100: Missing
and Miss Wang are here, and it is time for him to take a rest.
"Little Marquis, don't worry, today is a big caravan escorted by the dart bureau, I am familiar with the leader of the way, so I can blend in, but I can't bring too many people."
"Just to find out, that's enough."
Mo Yan squinted his eyes and looked behind him, with him following behind, he was a lot more relieved. @η²Ύε\/Shuge*First update~~
The group got on the camel and followed the caravan into the yellow sand, and the caravan traveled through the desert, and soon to the wind season when the sand and dust were flying, and the camels also had difficulty walking, which was one of the reasons why the caravan became smaller.
The midday sun was unusually hot, and the caravan decided to rest in the shade of the dunes for half an hour, and Li led the team to get off the camel and come over.
"Did you find anything?"
Mo Yan asked in a low voice, Team Leader Li frowned, obviously the situation was not good, but this was also something they expected.
"I asked the people in the caravan, and it is true that there are people who look like Hou Ye who have been taken into the desert, but no one has seen him come back."
Mo Yan sat in the shade of the sand dunes, his expression faintly unable to see joy and anger, in fact, his heart was extremely conflicted. He hoped that his father really went to Jingping Kingdom, in this case, Uncle Luo Yue must have news, whether it is true or not, at least it is news. But he was worried that his father would be in danger if he went, he was the supreme commander of the border army, and if his identity was exposed, not only the army but also the people would not be able to spare him.
"Regardless of whether Hou Ye is in Jingping Country or not, if you want to know the truth of the whole thing, you still have to find the leader who connects with Hou Ye first, it seems that this trip to Jingping Country is inevitable."
Team Leader Li analyzed the current situation, Mo Yan nodded in agreement, it is true, it is futile to find no one to speculate anymore.
After the hottest noon, the caravan finished repairing and set off again, and Leader Li took advantage of the time to fill the water bag and drink water, walked over with bated breath, and whispered to Mo Yan.
"Little Hou Ye, there is always someone behind us, is it friend or foe?"
Although Leader Li injured his hand tendons and could only fight the enemy with a dagger and a hidden weapon, he had a keen intuition for many years in the army, and the enemy troops who sneaked up in the dark night never escaped his ears, let alone in this desert where there was nowhere to hide.
"It's here to protect me, the people of the Mid-Levels Pavilion."
