Chapter 2340 Transfer

That evening, Meng Yunzheng handed the man a note.

He's trying to minimize his chances of seeing Qi Lie now. He figures that once he hands over the note, his buddy will be able to get in touch with Qi Lie.

Over the next few days, Wei Qin rested and recovered at the inn.

Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng continued to stroll around the city as usual. After several days, the people keeping watch on them gradually became anxious.

They followed him to Qingxuan County hoping Meng Yunzheng would lure out Qi Lie's whereabouts. But his schedule remained perfectly normal; he didn't even disappear from their sight at night, let alone go to see anyone.

Could it be that he also couldn't contact Qi Lie, which is why he's been wandering around Qingxuan County for so long?

Just as the people keeping watch couldn't wait any longer, Meng Yunzheng and his companion went to Zhao Xi's room to inquire about Wei Qin's condition. "We have to go. How is her injury recovering? Is she able to continue her journey?"

When Wei Qin heard that she was leaving, her eyes lit up. She could now sit up and take a few steps with difficulty. Although it still hurt a lot, she was recovering quite well under Zhao Xi's treatment.

Therefore, without waiting for Zhao Xi's reply, she said impatiently, "I can continue on my way."

She then asked, "Where are we going? To Dong'an Prefecture?" She already knew that her son was studying and living in Dong'an Prefecture.

To everyone's surprise, Meng Yunzheng shook his head. "No, we're going to Heichang County. We have other matters to attend to in Heichang County and can't return to Dong'an Prefecture for the time being. We originally wanted you to stay in Qingxuan County to recover, but Cheng Wenbao has been secretly looking for people these past few days, and it's too dangerous for you to stay here."

The Cheng family's house was mostly burned down, and the servants in the room where the fire started could not be found. There were also many bloodstains in the alley behind the house. Wei Qin was the prime suspect, so the officials naturally had to look for her.

Cheng Wenbao was worried that Wei Qin might have overheard news about the black market that day and something bad might have happened to her, so he also sent people to look for her.

Judging from the sights of Shu and Yu's outings over the past few days, they saw that the officials had searched several inns.

The innkeepers on their side didn't come. Even if they did, since Shu Yu is the county princess, if she said there was no one in the room and they couldn't search it, they wouldn't dare to force their way in.

Secondly, the people in the black market had been watching them the whole time and hadn't seen Wei Qin appear in the inn, so they never thought they could save a complete stranger under these circumstances.

Thirdly, they didn't want to alert the enemy; if they made too much of a fuss, it would inevitably arouse the suspicion of Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng.

Since we can't even get in to search, why make things worse?

This is also why Wei Qin was able to recuperate quietly.

But once Shu Yu and the others left, Wei Qin was left in the black market territory, where the risk was too high.

Wei Qin was a little disappointed to hear that they couldn't leave the Southwest yet. But she didn't ask any more questions. She had a feeling that her cousin Dazhuang was here and might be related to the man with the beaded necklace, since he was involved in the Song family massacre.

She can't help now and has become a burden, so naturally she'll do whatever they arrange.

Zhao Xi also said that Wei Qin was only traveling a short distance and there was no problem, so the group prepared to leave Qingxuan County.

Getting Wei Qin onto the carriage wouldn't be difficult; Shu Yu and the others already had a box containing clothes and daily necessities. They just needed to rearrange the contents, put them in a bundle, hide Wei Qin inside the box, and then they could easily lift her onto the carriage.

They bought some things in the past two days, so it's not surprising that they have several large and small bags.
