Chapter 231 A Thousand Miles Journey, Not a Step Away
A quarter of an hour later, in a quiet room of Wantong Escort Agency.
Lu Jingyao was holding a cup of hot tea and sitting opposite Yunlian.
If Wei Changtian were here at this moment, he would probably have already started thinking about whether or not to kill the Son of Heaven.
However, Lu Jingyao didn't know that the weak woman in front of her was actually a fish demon, and she didn't know that her husband was not only dead, but also died because of Wei Changtian.
"Ma'am, here you go."
Qiuyun, who was standing next to him, rummaged through his bag and found a cloak of his own.
"Um."
Lu Jingyao took the cloak and placed it next to Yunlian with a smile.
"Miss Yun, put it on quickly."
"No, that's not necessary."
Yunlian waved her hands hurriedly and gently pushed the cloak back: "Sister Lu, I'm not cold."
"How can you not be cold wearing so little?"
Lu Jingyao said with a smile: "If I tell you to wear it, then wear it. Don't refuse."
“.”
Yunlian lowered her head in embarrassment and did not refuse again.
"Thank you, thank you. I will definitely pay you back for the escort fee and clothes later."
"We'll talk about this later."
After watching Yunlian put on her cloak, Lu Jingyao asked again, "Miss Yun, where are you from?"
"Qingzhou, Yuer Island."
Yunlian hesitated for a moment and added in a low voice: "It's a small island."
"Fish Island?"
Lu Jingyao had naturally never heard of this name, but she didn't care. She nodded and asked, "So what does your husband do in Shuzhou?"
"I don't know either. He hasn't been home for a long time."
As if something had been touched, tears welled up in Yunlian's eyes in an instant: "I, I went all the way from Qingzhou to the capital, and someone said that he went to Shuzhou, so I wanted to go to Shuzhou to look for him."
"Um?"
Lu Jingyao was not stupid and immediately found a lot of doubts in these words.
However, Yunlian didn't look like a villain with ulterior motives, so she didn't ask any further questions, thinking that she would slowly find out on the way to Shuzhou.
"Miss Yun, I am actually going to Shuzhou to look for my husband."
Handing her handkerchief to Yunlian, Lu Jingyao comforted her softly, "I'll beg him when the time comes, maybe he can help you."
"Really?"
When Yunlian heard that Lu Jingyao wanted to help her find a husband, she was so excited that she fell to her knees with a plop.
"Sister Lu, I don't know how I can repay you for your kindness."
"What are you doing? Get up."
Lu Jingyao was startled by the sudden kneeling and hurriedly tried to help Yunlian.
But at this moment, a tear from the latter just fell on the back of her hand.
"ah!"
Lu Jingyao screamed subconsciously and suddenly pulled her arm back.
"Ma'am, what's wrong?"
Qiu Yun, who was standing by, immediately came over and nervously looked in the direction Lu Jingyao was looking.
I saw that a small area on the back of the white hand had turned red, as if it had been burned by something.
"this"
The two girls looked up at Yunlian in astonishment, and the latter of course also noticed it all.
She hastily wiped the tears from her face, bit her fingertips, knelt down and raised her bleeding fingers.
"Yes, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."
"Just smear my blood on it!"
“Really?”
“.”
According to legend, there was a fish monster and a fisherman who fell in love with each other by the Wei River. However, the fish monster could not stay on the shore for long and had to return to the river one day. So before leaving, the fish monster gave the fisherman a wing-shaped knot and kept one for himself. The man and the monster agreed to reunite after ten years.
The fish demon returned to the Wei River and practiced hard every day. After ten years, he finally achieved the great way and was able to stay on the land forever.
Revisiting the old place, the fish monster searched hard for several times and finally found the fisherman's residence.
The fisherman is drying his nets outside the house, with his wife and children standing beside him. His wife has a wing-shaped knot on her skirt.
The fish monster returned to the Weishui River, and the next day, it used its magical power to cause a huge flood.
After the flood, the fish monster found the bodies of several people and buried them in the ground. He took back the knot he had given to the fisherman and hung it on the left side of his clothes, and hung his own knot on the right side of his clothes.
The pair of knots turned into wings and the bird never entered the Wei River again.
"Classic of Mountains and Seas": Yingyu has a fish body and bird wings, and makes the same sound as a mandarin duck. When it appears, there will be a flood in the city.

The way of disaster.
Half an hour later, at Wei Mansion.
"Master Wei, we have found Miss Lu's whereabouts."
In the study, several spies from the Xuanjing Division's Sticking Pole Department bowed and reported: "Miss Lu and Miss Qiuyun are currently at Wantong Escort Agency, preparing to go to Shuzhou."
"Humph! As expected!"
Wei Xianzhi snorted coldly, but his expression finally relaxed.
Although there was indeed no one guarding outside the tunnel, the Wei family guards were not useless. They quickly discovered that Lu Jingyao and Qiu Yun were missing, and reported it to him immediately.
With the Sticking Rod Department in action, how could someone like Lu Jingyao, who had no anti-reconnaissance awareness, hide her whereabouts? As a result, she was quickly discovered.
"Master Wei, according to the guys at Wantong Escort Agency, there is a woman named Yunlian traveling with Miss Lu."
"This girl said she wanted to go to Shuzhou to find her husband, but she didn't have enough money to pay for the escort, so Miss Lu paid for her."
Soon, the spy recounted everything that happened at Wantong Escort Agency.
"Yunlian?"
After listening to this, Wei Xianzhi frowned and thought for a while, and ruled out the possibility that Yunlian was a member of the Liu family.
After all, the Liu family had no reason to know that Lu Jingyao ran away secretly.
Even if they really knew, they would probably just send someone to kidnap the person directly, without going through so many detours.
So it's probably just a coincidence.
“Bang!”
"Bring him back to me immediately!"
Putting the teacup in his hand on the table, Wei Xianzhi's tone was quite cold.
Although he could understand Lu Jingyao's thoughts, he had been in a high position for a long time, so he was very disgusted with this kind of "disobedience of orders".
"yes!"
The spy from the Sticking Pole Department first stepped forward to answer, and then asked, "Sir, do you want to bring Yunlian back with you?"
"Need not."
At this critical juncture, no matter who Yunlian is, Wei Xianzhi will definitely not take the risk of "letting a wolf into the house", so he waved his hand immediately.
"Just bring Lu Jingyao and Qiuyun back."
"I understand!"
Another hour later.
After "failed to escape", Lu Jingyao returned to her room dejectedly, looking at the blocked tunnel entrance in silence.
After Wei Xianzhi's merciless criticism and education, she now knows that she was wrong and her heart is filled with guilt and self-blame.
My father-in-law is right. If anything happens to me, it will bring great trouble to the Wei family.
My husband must be heartbroken. After serious reflection, Lu Jingyao started writing letters to Wei Changtian again.
In addition to self-examination, the letter also included detailed information about Yunlian.
Lu Jingyao just thought this was strange, so she wanted to share it with Wei Changtian.
If Wei Changtian could really see this letter in time, she would have indeed performed a great deed.
It’s a pity that the former is now on his way to Jizhou, and the round trip will cut off communication with the capital for at least ten days.
At this time, Yunlian was already sitting in the carriage of Wantong Escort Agency and heading to Shuzhou.
