Their kung fu is quite good and you can tell at a glance that they are not ordinary people.
She remembered the location where the other two people jumped into the room, returned to the bed, and lay down to rest again.
the next day.
Tao Yuwei and the others went downstairs to have breakfast.
She walked out of the room and before going downstairs, she passed by the door of the room of the two people last night and took a special glance.
And it was this glance that made her meet one of the other party.
The person she met was a middle-aged man with a rough face.
The moment their eyes met, she saw a familiar aura from this person.
This man must have come from the military.
She just glanced at him and walked downstairs.
Xiao Lichen, Qingzhu and others had already chosen a quiet corner downstairs to sit down.
She came to the table and sat down next to Xiao Lichen.
She saw the middle-aged man she had just met walking down the stairs with a young man.
"Do you know them?"
Tao Yuwei leaned closer to Xiao Lichen and asked in a low voice.
“Never seen it!”
Xiao Lichen raised his eyes and glanced at the other two people. They had already sat down at a table not far away.
But he could see that these two men came from military backgrounds.
The two men walked with their chests held high and their heads held high, their steps strong, and their skin dark yellow. For him, who had fought in battles on the border for several years, these characteristics were not unfamiliar to him.
"I saw them rushing back from outside in the middle of the night last night. I even heard the meowing of a cat before they entered the inn."
Tao Yuwei whispered in his ear what had happened to her.
Her breath hit his ear, and a wave of hot, unfamiliar emotion washed over him.
He dodged uncomfortably.
"Ignore them for now. After dinner, we will continue to follow the trail left by the two guards and search for their whereabouts."
Xiao Lichen pursed his lips and told his plan.
"Okay, it's important to find them."
[But I think it's strange that these two people appear here.]
A flash of light suddenly flashed through her mind. Before she could think about it carefully, she saw the waiter brought a plate of steaming buns and placed it in front of her. She didn't think much about it, but ate first.
The meal was simple and quick.
Xiao Lichen and the others finished eating quickly, only Tao Yuwei was still drinking the few mouthfuls of meat porridge left in the bowl.
As expected of someone who has been to the border, his eating speed is unmatched.
By the time she finished her meat porridge, Qingzhu had already paid the bill.
They got on the carriage again and continued heading south along the marked path.
Shortly after they left, the two men quietly fell behind and followed them.
Their carriage finally stopped around noon.
"Master, the mark is broken here." Qingzhu turned around and reported to the carriage while riding on his horse.
Xiao Lichen signaled Qingzhu to lift him off the carriage.
"Take me around."
Qingzhu tightened the reins, jumped off the horse, and carried him out of the carriage with a guard who was driving the horse.
Tao Yuwei woke up from her daze and jumped out of the carriage.
She took the initiative to step forward, pushing Xiao Lichen's wheelchair and walking around.
"Did you notice anything wrong?"
Tao Yuwei looked around at several intersections, seeking Xiao Lichen's opinion.
Xiao Lichen pointed at the forked roads and analyzed them for her.
"Look at this road heading south. There are very few tire tracks on the road. On the other hand, the road heading northwest has more tire tracks."
Those human traffickers carried no less than ten people in each of their vehicles. With so many people on board, the vehicles must have a certain weight. In addition, these vehicles frequently traveled between Beijing and the capital, and as time went by, there were more traces left by the vehicles.
On the contrary, there were not many traces of cars on the road heading south.
"Are you saying that the traffickers took those children to the northwest instead of the south?"
After hearing his analysis, Tao Yuwei felt an inexplicable tingling on her scalp.
Because it reminded her of something.
[Oh my goodness, how could I have forgotten that person?]
This road leads to Lingzhou in the northwest. The Junshan King is the local emperor of Lingzhou. He is a formidable figure, having caused chaos in the Emperor's harem.
[Ouch, which prince's biological father is he? I can't remember it all of a sudden.]
Tao Yuwei patted her head and couldn't remember it for a moment.
Her inner voice reached Xiao Lichen's ears, shocking him and making him lose consciousness for a while.
Where did this little girl get this information?
As your majesty's uncle, Prince Junshan Xiao Long left the palace for his fiefdom in the northwest during the reign of the late emperor and has never returned to the capital.
How could he be involved in the chaos in the palace?
[Forget it, I can't remember it for now. I should find the two guards first.]
Xiao Lichen suppressed the strange expression on his face and said to her, "Judging from where they disappeared, they did indeed change their route halfway along with those people and headed northwest."
"So should we continue chasing? Or should we go back and bring some people to chase again?"
Tao Yuwei asked Xiao Lichen for his opinion.
The eagles who helped her find the whereabouts of the two guards should have heard the news today. She sincerely hoped that Xiao Lichen would agree to go to the northwest.
Perhaps she only needed to walk halfway to get the news brought by the eagles, and based on the information provided, it would be easier for them to find people.
Xiao Lichen thought for a moment and said to Qingzhu, "Send a signal to the people in the capital and ask them to take a group of people to the northwest and leave traces for them along the way."
