Chapter 587: Unsuccessful



Just thinking about it, Lu Wenjing felt that her saliva was about to "fall down three thousand feet like a waterfall".

While swallowing her saliva, Lu Wenjing raised two fingers and said, "Then I want to eat two."

"Three is fine too!" Su Yujin was very generous.

Lu Wenjing has a big appetite, but when faced with delicious food, her eyes are big and her mouth is small. In the end, she often sighs while looking at the delicious food.

Su Yujin knew her personality very well, but also knew that she liked to eat chicken wings the most, so she calculated how many pairs of honey-grilled chicken wings she could prepare for Lu Wenjing with the seasonings and ingredients she brought.

By the time Su Yujin went to check the ingredients, Lu Wenjing's original enthusiasm disappeared almost in an instant.

His originally straight back suddenly became slightly hunched.

Turning around and looking behind me, all I could see was the vast grassland, the rolling mountains in the distance, and the extremely dark sky.

Lu Wenjing sighed, and after a long time she turned away to look at the road ahead. ——After walking for a few more days, as they were getting closer and closer to Xueyue Mansion, Du Song also brought people back to report.

"Replying to Second Master, I led my men to find the place according to what you said, but it was already empty, without a single person in sight."

Du Song replied, "I originally thought that the man had noticed someone was looking for him, so he fled in a hurry. But after carefully checking the courtyard inside and outside, I found that although the place was not messy, it was covered with a thick layer of dust, and the window paper was very worn. It was obvious that no one had lived there and cleaned it for a long time."

"I asked people nearby and learned that this courtyard had been vacant for a long time. No one had been seen there for a long time. I stayed there for a few more days and found that it was indeed the case. So I ordered a few people to guard there and returned to report to the Second Master first."

"Yeah." He Yanxiu nodded, his brows immediately furrowed.

The great wizard never returned to the house where he lived. Did he escape to some other place?

But he was nowhere to be found in the entire Xijinyun Kingdom.

Did he escape to the deep mountains and forests to hide, or...

He Yanxiu's heart sank and he looked forward.

Seorak Palace is right in front of us.

"We have to travel day and night these days." He Yanxiu said in a low voice.

"Yes." Tuoba Yu also nodded and immediately gave the order.

The group urged their horses to move faster. ——Seorak Palace.

As the New Year approaches, Seorak Prefecture is decorated with lights and is quite lively.

Because the war with Xijinyun Kingdom stopped more than a month ago, and after hearing that the ruler of Xijinyun Kingdom had changed and there would be no more wars in the future, the people became happier and prepared more attentively for the New Year. The entire Xueyue Prefecture seemed more festive than in previous years.

Su Yuruo looked at the festive colors along the way and felt quite happy in her heart, but when she saw the Xueyue Prefecture government office in front of her, the smile on her face suddenly faded a lot.

"Miss." Xiang Qiao saw Su Yunruo stopped and said, "It's getting late. Miss, you should have some lunch. I saw a restaurant in front that seems pretty good. It's very busy. Do you want to go there and have some lunch?"

Is it time for lunch? Su Yunruo hesitated for a while, looked at the sun above her head, and nodded, "I'm not really hungry, but I'm a little worried that I'll be hungry again after lunch, so I'll just eat something simple now."

"Hmm..." Su Yunruo thought for a moment, "Just a bowl of mutton soup and a pancake will be fine."

Hearing Su Yunruo's words, Xiangqiao burst out laughing, "Miss has been eating mutton soup with pancakes for seven or eight days, and she doesn't find it boring at all. Miss really likes the mutton soup here."

"Yes." Su Yunruo nodded with a smile.

It’s not that she particularly likes it, but she just doesn’t know what to eat. The mutton soup and pancakes here are ready-made and very common, so the taste can’t be too bad.

There is soup, meat and staple food. Eating a big bowl of this hot dish makes you feel full and warm all over.

Just as Xiangqiao said, she ate this way for seven or eight days.

It took her seven or eight days to arrive at Seorak Palace.

After counting the horses, they were all handed over to the person in charge of the horses here. She was now waiting for the eliminated horses to be counted over there, and she would be responsible for disposing of them after they were gathered together.

In addition, Su Yunruo also wanted to take a look in the nearby provincial capitals and counties to see if there were any foals of better breeds that could be purchased, and then find some skilled horse trainers.

Su Yunruo had almost completed all of the original plans, and the remaining details were left to the managers under him.

At present, the managers have basically finished their work. They came back after breakfast and said that they could set off back in just two days.

In other words, she couldn't stay here for more than two days.

Su Yunruo pursed her lips, followed Xiang Qiao to the restaurant in front, and turned back to see what was happening at the gate of the government office.

She guessed that Qin Peiyou would definitely stay at the government office in Xueyue Prefecture, so these days, she often passed by the government office deliberately to see if she could see Qin Peiyou going out.

It’s a pity that after these few days, I was unable to achieve my wish.

The remaining two days were probably...

What's even more unfortunate is that Sister Jin, brother-in-law and Miss Lu have all gone to Xijinyun Kingdom and have not returned yet, so she can't see them even if she wants to.

She made a special trip this time, but she would probably return with nothing.

Su Yunruo was distracted and sighing, and didn't pay any attention to what was ahead, so he bumped into someone.

"I'm sorry." Su Yunruo came to her senses immediately, without even bothering to raise her head, and hurriedly apologized.

"I'm sorry." The other party apologized almost at the same time.

After the two finished talking, they were both stunned when they heard each other's voices, and then they looked up quickly and saw a face that was familiar to both of them.

"Ms. Su." Qin Peiyou was overjoyed.

Su Yunruo also found it incredible to meet Qin Peiyou on the street, and was extremely happy, "Too..."

Su Yunruo was about to say something when she quickly stopped. After looking around, she bowed and said, "Mr. Qin."

Although the war between the Great Qin State and the Western Jinyun State has ended, many situations are still unclear and we need to be cautious in everything.

Qin Peiyou's heart and eyes were now filled with Su Yunruo, and he was so happy to meet her that he could not care about many other things. He just smiled and asked, "Miss Su, why are you here now?"

"There was a batch of horses to be delivered. At that time, the war was urgent and we dared not delay them even a little bit. We also did not trust others to deliver them, so we simply delivered them ourselves..."
