The steward looked in the direction of the sound and saw two servants supporting a dancer who was bound all over and whose face was covered with dense, small, bluish-black, swollen lumps.
It was the dancer from Lin Zao's room.
Upon seeing her appearance, everyone was so frightened that they backed away, as if they wanted to avoid her at all costs.
Someone in the crowd whispered, "Judging from her condition, she's probably been poisoned. I wonder if it's contagious?"
Upon hearing this, those present moved even further away.
Looking at the dancer, the butler knew that Wang Lin was definitely up to something. Although he was annoyed that the dancer was more trouble than she was worth, he didn't vent his anger on her.
Unable to bear seeing the dancer any longer, the butler roared, "Disgraceful thing, get out of here!"
The dancer was so frightened that she scrambled out of the courtyard, not even asking anyone to help untie the ropes binding her.
The butler looked at the servants and asked, "Where are the people in the rooms?"
"Reporting to the steward, two people are missing: Young Master Wang Lin and Young Master Wu Yan. Moreover, their luggage is also gone from their rooms."
"Ran away?" The butler's face turned red and then pale with anger.
"Yes, yes, steward." The servant stammered, seeing the steward's unpleasant expression.
"He's run away! Chase after him! He'll be dead or alive!" the butler roared, scaring everyone present into scattering like birds.
"Get out of the city and give chase! They must have already left!"
"yes!"
Huang Xiaohu, standing at the back of the crowd, took a deep breath in fright after watching the butler lead his men away.
"Thank goodness, they didn't arrest me. This brother Wang is too audacious! No! I have to find a chance to leave."
Huang Xiaohu recalled that he had appeared with Wang Lin yesterday and had acted very close to Wang Lin. The steward and the prefect must have seen it.
He had to leave before the steward and the others could react, otherwise, if he got involved with Wang Lin, his life might be over before he even left Luolin Mansion.
Lin Zao had already met up with Yue Wuyan, and the two of them were riding horses towards Ganzhou.
At this moment, Lin Zao had no idea that her actions had indirectly saved Huang Xiaohu's life.
As for the men the steward sent out to hunt down Lin Zao and his group, they naturally returned empty-handed, which infuriated Li Zheng.
After more than a month of rapid progress, the city gates of Ganzhou were finally faintly visible.
"Whoa!"
Lin Zao tightened the reins, stopped the horse, and looked in the direction of the city gate.
A smile unconsciously appeared on her face. Two and a half months, half a month faster than she expected.
She's finally back!
At this moment, Lin Zao wished she could return to the General's Mansion immediately, but thinking of the people around her, she suppressed her eagerness.
Turning to Yue Wuyan, I said, "Brother Yue, let's go into the city first and find an inn to wash up and rest. Then I'll take you to see Xiao Wu. What do you think of this arrangement, Brother Yue?"
During their brief conversation on the way, Lin Zao learned that the man in black was named Yue Wuyan.
Yue Wuyan also knew that her foolish younger brother's name after losing his memory was Xiao Wu.
Yue Wuyan glanced at Lin Zao with unwavering eyes, guessing that Lin Zao was deliberately stalling for time. However, he was also confident that with his skills, it would be impossible for Lin Zao to shake him off.
So the two reached an agreement, and after entering the city gate, Lin Zao led his men directly into an inn.
At that moment, Lin Zao did not notice that not far from the inn, someone was staring in disbelief at her and Yue Wuyan as they walked into the inn.
Tian Bu'er had seen Lin Zao disguised as a man before, and seeing the woman who seemed to be the general's wife leading a man who was just as tall and handsome as his own general into the inn, he was clearly shocked.
Although the man looked somewhat familiar, Tian Bu'er didn't think much of it.
His attention was focused on why the general's wife, having returned to Ganzhou, didn't go back to the general's mansion.
And she even brought other men to the inn?
Could it be?
No, he has to go back and tell the general right away!
