Xie Ruian's whole body froze.

Mr. Qu seemed to be certain that the person was missing.

But the girl was not there, who should she report to?

A moment later.

The guard followed Mr. Qu's instructions and went to the county town to look for someone.

Soon news came that there was indeed no one in the county town. Cookie privately ordered his troops to search every corner of Ling County, but no one was found.

He quickly sent someone back to the fort to report Chu Yu's disappearance to the old house.

How could such a good person disappear?

Wei Ji's face remained calm as he asked Wei Mingze, "Does Zhou know?"

Wei Mingze said, "My nephew went to ask him personally, and he looked like he didn't know. He kept saying that he thought he was just out on duty, so that's why he hasn't come back."

How could a mother not even ask about her son's whereabouts after he disappeared for the entire winter?

Although Cookie didn't come back, the Qu family sent the New Year's Eve dinner over.

Wei Ting did not come back either. The old patriarch and the three elders of the tribe sent people to inquire about the situation, asked the servants to take good care of him, and gave him some New Year gifts.

Chu Yu is a capable subordinate of the new clan leader. He often travels between the fort and Shilin Village. No one would suspect him if he went out.

In addition, his mother Zhou lived in the fortress, so who would have thought that he would leave without saying a word.

Yes, Wei Ji and Ming Jingtang concluded that he left on his own.

The entire Ling County is very safe, and even in winter there are Wei family soldiers patrolling outside.

As for how he left...

Today's Ling County is no longer the fortress it once was, its territory is too vast.

Chu Yu was familiar with the terrain, and as a strategist, he was resourceful, so it was easy for him to avoid the patrolling army.

This is not the fault of the Wei family army, but it is impossible to guard against.

The key point is, where did he go when he left quietly?

It's impossible that he is going to chase Wu Niang and the others.

Wei Ji sighed, "Mr. Chu probably left for some urgent matter. He might have planned to return in the spring, so he lied and left his 'family' at the fort."

Wei Mingze remained silent. It was obvious that the old patriarch's words were just for show.

It’s hard to guess what his real thoughts are.

Wei Ji: "Don't worry about it for now. Let's wait until Wu Niang comes back and focus on the spring sowing first!"

Wei Mingze had no choice but to agree.

The case of Chu Yu's disappearance was left unresolved.
