Tao Yuwei withdrew her blank gaze and found that saliva had appeared at the corner of her mouth. She quickly wiped it off with the back of her hand.
She lowered her head, picked up the teacup, and was about to drink it when she was stopped by a slender, beautiful hand.
"Your water glass is empty."
His cold voice sounded like a bucket of cold water poured on her face.
[Oh, I was so engrossed in looking at the handsome guy that I forgot to add water.]
[The villain is absolutely stunning. His black, smooth hair is even smoother than that Rejoice promotional photo.]
[Cold white skin with no pores. Ah, some people are born with beautiful looks, I can't envy them.]
In his mind, Xiao Lichen's ears turned red when he heard her praising him.
He sat in a wheelchair, refilled her tea, and waited patiently for Heiyan to return.
Because Tao Yuwei went to bed late last night, after drinking her tea, she actually lay down on the table and fell asleep unknowingly.
Xiao Lichen sat next to him, handling official business quickly and efficiently.
An hour later, they still didn't see Black Flame.
Xiao Lichen called Qingzhu.
"Take two people with you and follow Princess Anle and I out of the city."
Qingzhu's arm was injured last time, but it has recovered.
He quickly went out to prepare the carriage for his journey.
"Wake up, it's time to go." Xiao Lichen's eyes fell on the sleeping person. He called out twice in succession, but failed to wake the person up.
He rolled his wheelchair to Tao Yuwei, raised his hand and patted her shoulder, "Let's go, it's time to leave the city."
Tao Yuwei opened her eyes reluctantly.
She was so sleepy. In the past, she would sleep until she woke up naturally every day.
She stood up and stretched her arms, then walked towards the door.
After taking two steps, she heard the sound of car wheels behind her. She stopped and walked towards Xiao Lichen.
Under his puzzled gaze, I pushed his wheelchair out.
"I can do it myself, no need to trouble you."
He turned his head and looked back inexplicably uncomfortably.
Tao Yuwei wanted to get news about the two guards, Zhang Hu and Liu Tao, as soon as possible, so she quickened her pace.
Qingzhu had already prepared a carriage at the gate of the yamen where Xiao Yuwei worked.
He was leading a gray horse, and two guards stood beside the carriage.
When they saw them come out, they all bowed and saluted.
"No need to be so polite."
Xiao Lichen raised his hand and motioned for them to stand up.
Qingzhu hurried forward and, together with a guard, lifted Xiao Lichen and the wheelchair onto the carriage.
Tao Yuwei got into the car even faster. As soon as she moved, she lifted the curtain and got in.
After they were seated, the carriage immediately headed towards the south gate of the capital.
Along the way, Tao Yuwei sped along according to the special traces left by Liu Tao and the others.
After traveling for most of the day, they were already out of the capital.
"If we keep chasing like this, it will probably be dark by then."
Tao Yuwei filled her stomach in the car with some pastries that Qingzhu had prepared in advance.
Xiao Lichen and the others didn't eat anything. They were determined to find the place where Liu Tao and the others disappeared as soon as possible.
And there is no news about the eagles that helped Tao Yuwei find them.
"If it's getting late, let's find a place to stay for the night."
Xiao Lichen didn't think much of it.
Qingzhu rode in front to lead the way, and according to the marks left behind, he ran several miles in advance to explore.
When they heard the sound of returning horses' hooves again, they knew Qingzhu had returned.
"Master, there is an inn not far ahead. Shall we stay there for the night?"
Riding on a horse, Qingzhu came to the car window and bowed to report.
"Can!"
Xiao Lichen and the others had been hungry for most of the day and needed to eat and rest.
"Those people are traveling much faster than us at night. We'll chase them for another day tomorrow. If there's no news, we'll go back."
Tao Yuwei lifted the car curtain and looked up at the sky, looking for any traces of an eagle above.
"What are you looking at?"
Xiao Lichen didn't understand what she was looking for.
[What else can I see? Of course I'm looking for help. Forget it, it's getting dark now, and those eagles are probably resting. I'll talk about it tomorrow!]
Tao Yuwei put down the curtain in her hand and sat back in the car.
"Nothing much. I hope to get news about the two guards tomorrow."
The carriage traveled for a while and finally arrived at the door of the inn.
The carriage was placed in the backyard and carefully cared for.
Qingzhu asked for four upper rooms, and under the guidance of the waiter, everyone returned to their respective rooms.
After the hot water was brought, Tao Yuwei took a simple hot bath and ate dinner alone in her room.
After entering the room, they did not go downstairs again. In order to be able to find the person tomorrow, they conserved their energy and went to bed early.
midnight.
Tao Yuwei woke up from her sleep and heard a cat meowing outside the window.
She sat up suddenly in alertness.
This is not the sound of a real cat. It is obvious that someone is deliberately imitating the sound of a cat.
The cat's meowing outside the window continued for a while and then finally quieted down.
In the darkness, she quietly came to the window, poked open the window paper with her hand, and looked downstairs.
She saw two dark shadows coming towards the inn.
In response, she quietly stood by the window, patiently watching the movements of the two people.
The two men leaped lightly and rushed directly to the window of one of the rooms on the second floor and entered the inn.
Tao Yuwei guessed that these two people had lived in the inn before.
It’s just that I went out to do something late at night and came back late.
