There are two reasons for doing this.
First, Su Xiaozhong and Su Yin wanted to say something, and it was not convenient for others to listen.
Second, they will pick up Xu Lanzhi, the plague god, on board later.
Of course, no one else can know about it.
As for Su's mother and Su Baozhu, neither Su Yin nor her daughter were worried.
"Dad, is there any news from my brother?"
They kept on traveling, and it was difficult for Su Yin and his group to find out about Su Xinyang and his brothers. Only with their father did they have some hope.
Su Xiaozhong shook his head with a heavy face, "I deliberately asked my subordinates to collect some boys aged seven or eight, preferably twins. I used the excuse of those dignitaries with fetishes to find them. It should be easy to find them."
After all, there are not many twins, and children aged seven or eight, who meet these characteristics.
"But I couldn't find any information. I offered high prices to buy them along the way. Given how greedy they are, they would definitely sell them out immediately. Unfortunately, I got nothing."
"As a father, I dare not release portraits or the like easily. Baishantang is not a good person. Once they know that those two children are my weak points, I am afraid they will..."
The following words are self-explanatory.
"I have not received any news about the two brothers since I left Linzhou Prefecture." Su Xiaozhong sighed, "If my father had his own power at this time, perhaps this would not happen."
"Dad, I don't blame you. Looking for someone in troubled times is like looking for a needle in a haystack. It's normal that you can't find him."
There was once an emperor who used his power to search for his lost wife, but he never found her in his entire life.
His son and grandson also searched for it, but they never found it.
Finding people in ancient times was much more difficult than it is today.
"After arriving in Shangjing City, I will ask some well-traveled merchants and escort agencies to find the whereabouts of my brothers. Oh, by the way, I also know a young man from a powerful family, maybe I can ask him to look for them as well."
"A descendant of a noble family? Who?"
"Nangong Jingzhi."
Su Xiaozhong was very surprised, "You know him?"
"Dad, you know him too? What will his future be like?" Su Yin became interested and asked curiously.
"He was a talented person, but unfortunately he died young."
"What? Short-lived?"
Su Xiaozhong nodded, "He will die from the plague."
"How is that possible? He was not in Shangjing City. You said there was no plague in Shangjing City. How could he die of the plague? Could he have left the city?" Su Yin felt something was wrong as soon as she finished speaking.
Could it be that he died before coming to the capital, and his fate changed in this life because of her?
"Dad, when did he get the plague?"
Su Xiaozhong pondered for a moment, "I don't remember the exact time, but one thing is certain, it was after I recovered from my illness, which was when the plague broke out in the Shangjing area. As for why he was infected with the plague, I don't know the reason. The reason why I know about him is because people in the court often remember his talents."
"Every time there was a problem with the weapons, the ministers in the court would mention this man. As they talked about him more and more, they became familiar with the name. They also became more curious about this man, and learned a little about him."
Su Yin groaned, "It seems that my friend is surrounded by dangers."
Su Xiaozhong smiled and said, "There are many dirty things like this between noble families. If he can survive, asking him for help is better than asking some escort agencies for help."
Su Yin thought of another thing, "Dad, you became the emperor, so...what were your brothers doing at that time?"
When Su Xiaozhong mentioned this, he looked dejected. "After you and your mother passed away, I was taken away by the powerful and was pushed to the top by them. After I took that position, I asked people to look for the two brothers, but the result was..."
He paused and uttered four words in a heavy tone, "Nothing."
Hearing this, Su Yin's heart skipped a beat.
This is not good news for them.
This means that the two younger brothers most likely died after their father left them.
The atmosphere around the father and daughter grew heavy.
Su Xiaozhong said, "Don't worry, since you and I have both had different opportunities, this life may be different."
"Yeah." Su Yin nodded. "Dad, why are you traveling alone? Where did Daya go? It was too late last night, and I didn't have time to ask you."
"Don't worry. While we're dealing with that matter, we'll send her away first."
Ever since the conversation between the father and daughter in the teahouse that day, when he knew that his daughters were being pursued by a mysterious force, he knew that what he was going to do next was too dangerous. If he didn't handle it well, Daya would also be in trouble, so he sent her away in advance.
"I handed her over to a group of traveling merchants. The escort company that escorted the group has a good relationship with me. Their goal is Shangjing City. Once we get to Shangjing City, we will be able to see her."
"That's good. That girl is a miserable girl."
In fact, there are many girls like Daya, especially in turbulent times when people are hungry.
Su Yin is not a saint and cannot take care of so many people, but if the people around her can be taken care of, she will lend a hand.
Sitting in the carriage, Su's mother and Su Baozhu were listening to their conversation, which was intermittent, and they understood most of it.
They understood a lot of things, but they were also confused by a lot of other things, as if they were listening to a foreign language.
"How's that group doing?"
When mentioning the group of people wearing the Ghost Mask, Su Yin deliberately lowered his voice.
The sound of wheel wheels and horse hooves mixed together, covering up the noise well.
Su Xiaozhong also lowered his voice, showing his teeth to his daughter, and said with a smile, "It's all solved."
"real?"
Su Xiaozhong nodded affirmatively, "Of course. However, their leader ran away. But, we succeeded in one thing. The forces behind Baishan Hall and the Ghost Mask forces will fight to the death."
He deliberately led Guimian and his group to misunderstand that the clue to the treasure map was in the hands of Baishantang.
Su Xiaozhong briefly told Su Yin about the affairs of Baishan Hall and Guimian and his group.
After hearing this, Su Yin praised him and gave him a thumbs up.
"Dad, you're awesome!"
"Awesome?"
Why does it sound like cursing?
Seeing her father's confused look, Su Yin smiled and said, "I'm praising you for being awesome."
Su Xiaozhong laughed, leaned close to his daughter's ear, and said in a low voice: "Your father also got tens of thousands of taels of silver notes and their account books from the Baishan Hall's warehouse."
"Awesome! o(￣▽￣)ｄ" Su Yin's eyes lit up and she gave Su Xiaozhong a thumbs up again.
While the father and daughter were happily talking, Xu Lanzhi was waiting at a bend in the official road.
She looked at the location. There was no one in front or behind, and there was a bend blocking the way. It seemed like a good place. This should be the place she mentioned before.
After waiting here for half an incense stick of time, I finally heard the sound of carriages and horses.
Here we come!
