Guest House.

The caravan had already stayed overnight, plus a morning, and if it didn't leave again, it would be a big deal that the goods could not be delivered in time.

Xue Zhi'an was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and when he woke up, he found that there was a letter left in the room, although it was Ye Shuer's note, but the letter said that he would come on time at noon today.

But until now, there was no one to be seen, and the shopkeeper of the inn said that he had not seen her, and the people who inquired about the caravan did not know where she was.

Liu Sandao mobilized the brothers to help find someone, and searched the streets inside and out, but still found no trace.

"Big brother, we can't delay it any longer, this batch of goods is an important thing, if it can't be delivered in time, it will be miserable!" The people of the caravan complained.

The shipment they were carrying was for an old employer, and if they could not deliver it truthfully, they would have lost a lot of money. If you stay here, you will definitely not be able to deliver the goods at the agreed time.

Liu Sandao was also very embarrassed, although he received the silver, but compared to this batch of goods, a dozen taels of silver was just a drop in the bucket for him.

"I know."

"Brother Liu, I can't delay you any longer, you have also helped to find it for an afternoon, this is a matter of no choice, I will leave you first."

He couldn't leave Shu'er alone to go to Fucheng, if something happened to her, he would never forgive himself for the rest of his life.

Liu Sandao saw that since he opened his mouth, he didn't force it, so he called his brothers to load the goods and set off on time.

After Du Yuanbao received the news, he was stupid.

encountered too many things along the way, he was actually very timid, and after hearing that Ye Shu'er was missing, the whole person became suspicious, for fear of being targeted.

"Zhi'an, do you really want to stay?"

Xue Zhi'an nodded, there was no doubt about it.

"Yuanbao, you follow the caravan first, and then we will meet when we arrive at the Fucheng Station."

Du Yuanbao couldn't follow him to suffer together, and if he couldn't get to Fucheng in time, he would naturally not be able to participate in the government exam.

Fortunately, after half a month of the government test, they set off ahead of schedule, although they expected to encounter accidents, but they didn't expect that the swords and swords, bloody rain and bloody wind along the way had exceeded the tolerance range in their hearts.

"Woo woo - Ye Shu'er will be fine, right?" Du Yuanbao was crying so hard that he couldn't stop his tears.

He didn't want to do this, but when he thought about it, if the next time he saw it was Ye Shu'er's corpse, what would he do? What to do with Zhi'an?

Zhi'an must be very sad, very sad. Just as sad as he was, he lost an important companion.

Xue Zhi'an sighed, "Yuanbao, you go with the caravan first. If you stay, I will take care of you."

What he said was the truth, after all, Du Yuanbao was a child, and he had never experienced strong winds and waves, and the news of Ah Feng's death had caused him a great psychological shadow.

Du Yuanbao suddenly stopped crying, he is now like a small oil bottle, no matter where he is, he is disliked.

"Zhi'an, I see. I'll go with Brother Liu and them first, if you have a letter from Shu'er, remember to write to the post station to tell me." He sniffed, and the snot almost came out.

"Okay." Xue Zhi'an said softly.

The caravan continued to hurry, and Du Yuanbao followed the caravan to Fucheng.

Today's world is not peaceful, the southwest is constantly fighting, the border is constantly harassed by Laos, one day does not calm this war, there will never be peace.

Xue Zhi'an went to report to the official as soon as possible, who knew that the county magistrate was actually a careless person, and he was not in the county office.

He wanted to use the power of the government to search, but the government was unwilling to help find someone, and he had no acquaintances here, so he really didn't know how to start.

He inquired along the road and asked the passers-by on the street if they had met a fifteen-year-old girl, who was very good-looking.

However, nothing came of it.

On the second day, the county magistrate finally returned to the county office, and he quickly reported the matter and begged the county government to help find someone. Although the county magistrate didn't want to care about this matter, he heard about the club

Xue Zhi'an was a candidate who rushed to take the exam, and his attitude changed all of a sudden.

If this matter is known to the people above later, or if this kid will have a prosperous day in the future, it will be difficult to say.

So he perfunctorily sent a few pursuers out to find someone.

Xue Zhi'an hadn't slept for a day and a night, he had searched through the entire Anyuan County, but he didn't find any trace of Ye Shu'er, and at this moment he felt that the sky had fallen.

"Xue Gongzi, I've searched here."

The two chasing officers did not rest all day, they were familiar with every street in Anyuan County, and even the Qinlou Chu Pavilion searched all over the place, but they still found nothing.

"If you are not in the city, you are out of the city."

The two looked at each other, this is not a good sign, if the person has already left the city, there is a black mountain cliff twenty miles away from Anyuan County, which is really a gathering place for mountain bandits, if they are caught up the mountain, almost no one can go down the mountain alive.

"What's wrong? The two eldest brothers already have thoughts?"

Wang Hu hesitated for a moment, "Xue Gongzi, if the person is not in the city, I am afraid that he has already left the city."

Out of this Anyuan County, it is not easy to find.

Xue Zhi'an's expression was gloomy, even if he was alone, he had to find someone.

"If, as you said, your daughter-in-law is beautiful, then she has probably been taken captive. It is said that the big boss of the Black Mountain Cliff likes beauties the most, and many people don't dare to go out of the door if they have beautiful girls, why don't you know to be careful?"

"We are not from Anyuan County, we are from other places." Xue Zhi'an's head was sweating, he now regretted why he slept so dead? didn't come out with Shu'er, if it came out together, presumably nothing like this would have happened.

"Master Xue, just give up as I say! On the Black Mountain Cliff, your daughter-in-law must have lost her innocence, do you dare to ask for such a woman?"

"That's it, you still have to go to Fucheng to take the exam, or forget it!"

Wang Hu also told the truth, it is better to have this matter done earlier, there were not a few such things in Anyuan County in the past, but the county master did not have the will to suppress the bandits, and the mountain bandits were too cunning.

Xue Zhi'an saluted to the two pursuers: "Thank you for the kindness of the two eldest brothers, I will not leave all at once, if the county commander is unwilling to send troops to suppress the bandits, then I will find a way myself."

"What can you do? It's simply a fantasy, the bandits of this Black Mountain Cliff have been entrenched here for several years, and they have not been exterminated. You must know that ordinary soldiers have no way at all, unless the imperial court sends troops to suppress the bandits."

"We also hate these mountain bandits, and we can't wait to kill this group of wolf-hearted people, but the sky has no eyes, and Lord Yama won't accept these beasts!"

Xue Zhi'an closed his eyes, there is nothing difficult in the world, only afraid of people with hearts.

Even if he risked his life, he must find out and rescue Shu'er.
