After hearing this reminder from Yuan Military Advisor, Su Man suddenly understood.
Military Advisor Yuan was right. When it comes to bandits, they are all big and strong with a face full of flesh. At the very least, they have shifty eyes and are insidious and cunning.
And Wei's mother, who was old and had a kind face, might have let her run away.
"I hope Aunt Wei can arrive safely." Su Man said sincerely.
It's not just because of the account book in her hand, but also because she is an extremely kind elder.
As the two were talking, the monkey stumbled in from outside, "Military Advisor, Military Advisor, something bad has happened! The red mushroom is missing!"
"Gone?"
Military Advisor Yuan was a little surprised. Ever since Honggu was imprisoned, she had been very well behaved. Besides, she loved Ao Xi so much that he couldn't drive her away, so how could she leave so suddenly?
Su Man's heart moved, "Just tell me, she never knew when it was."
"It seems that last night, Cui Niang went to look at the red mushrooms. When she locked the door, she somehow managed to lock it. When the brothers went to deliver food this morning, they found that she was gone."
Although Honggu was imprisoned, she had been in Heifeng Village for many years and was familiar with everyone, so the supervision of her was much more relaxed.
As for her sudden escape...
Su Man remembered that she had been to the prison yesterday. It seemed that Honggu must know something.
The monkey was still wondering, "Why is Red Mushroom running away?"
"Forget it. Go back and tell the brothers to keep a close eye on Fang Junye and the others and don't let them escape." Su Man said.
"yes."
After the monkey went down, Military Advisor Yuan looked at Su Man's expression and asked tentatively, "Madam seems to know why Red Mushroom ran away?"
Su Man smiled slightly, "As expected, nothing can be hidden from the military advisor. I guess she ran away because she knew that I was not Xia Luoran."
"clang"
Military Advisor Yuan dropped the tea bowl in his hand. "What did you say?!"
-
"Stop, why are you leaving the city?"
"What's in the bag? Take it out and let's see!"
In the crowd, Wei Ma mingled with some people who were about to leave the city and lined up for inspection.
Her hand unconsciously touched her lower back, where the account book Suman gave her was hidden.
Seeing that the little brother in front of her had his clothes turned upside down, Wei Ma's forehead was covered with a layer of fine beads of sweat.
She was the next one. She had tried her best to avoid crowds these days, but this was the only way to get to the capital. If she avoided this place, she would have to walk for an extra day or two.
Time waits for no one, so she has no choice but to take a risk.
"Move forward!"
The officers and soldiers scolded Wei Ma.
Wei Ma immediately put on a smile and said, "Hey, hey, here I come."
The officer ripped off Wei Ma's bag and asked, "What's in this?"
"To answer your question, it's dry food and clothes."
"Where are you going? What are you doing?"
"Let's go to Weiguang Village ahead to see my daughter. She sent me a letter a few days ago saying she's pregnant. I'm going to take care of her."
Wei Ma babbled, "You don't know, the family my daughter married into is really wicked. My daughter is pregnant and has to serve them. It's really outrageous. Look, they sent me a letter, otherwise I don't want to go at all..."
Seeing that Wei Ma was talking endlessly, the officer beside her said impatiently, "What's there for an old lady to ask? Hurry up and move on. There are so many people here."
"Okay, okay, stop nagging and let's go."
The officers and soldiers stuffed the bag into her arms, and because they thought she was walking too slowly, they pushed her.
In this way, Wei Ma passed another level and got closer to Ao Xi.
At the same time, Ao Xi had already arrived in the capital.
Ao Xi had only seen the prosperity of the capital city when he was a child. When he revisited the place, his mood was no longer the same as before.
Just as Wei Ma said, the only one who can help him now is Marquis Xuanwu.
But his identity was embarrassing, so he did not choose to go directly to the door, but waited until it was dark and windy at night and sneaked into the Xuanwu Marquis Mansion.
He still remembered that when he was young, his mother often took him back to her parents' home. Many years had passed, but that carefree time was still fresh in his memory, so he quickly found the courtyard of Marquis Xuanwu.
Seeing the lights on downstairs, Ao Xi did not rush down, but climbed onto the roof and listened to the movement below.
"My Lord, this is the bird's nest porridge that the young lady sent for you. Please have some before you read."
"Well, let's put it aside for now."
"Yes, then the servant will go down first."
Inside the room, Marquis Xuanwu sat in front of a desk with several files on it. The more he looked at them, the tighter his brows furrowed.
After an unknown amount of time, he felt a little hungry and reached out for the bird's nest porridge on the table.
His eyes were still fixed on the file. He fumbled for it twice but couldn't find it. It was only when someone moved it towards his hand that he was able to reach it.
Xuanwu Hou picked up the wine and took a sip before realizing something was wrong. He looked up suddenly and saw a masked man in night clothes in front of him.
"Who are you!"
The masked man smiled, "Grandfather, long time no see."
After saying that, Ao Xi pulled off the veil.
After more than a decade of separation, Ao Xi's grandfather, once so heroic and extraordinary, now looked older. Xuanwu Hou stared at Ao Xi intently, his eyes shifting so quickly that Ao Xi couldn't grasp his current thoughts.
He wasn't entirely sure what Ao Xi was doing when he showed up without even saying hello. But in his mind, Marquis Xuanwu was a man of integrity, just like his father, loyal to his country and loyal to his father. If the world truly went to chaos, he wouldn't sit idly by.
"You...you are Xier?"
Ao Xi was surprised that Xuanwu Hou recognized him so quickly. He nodded and said, "Grandfather, I'm Fei Xi."
"Xi'er, you, it's really you! I'm not dreaming!"
