Chapter 344 Why didn’t I go find someone else but came to you?
Since Jiang Yubai was able to travel thousands of miles from Lingnan to the northwest, he would never give up until he got what he wanted.
The carriage that had been parked in the backyard of the inn started moving.
The Xu family's carriage first headed towards the west city gate, but halfway through the journey, the horses changed direction and began to circle aimlessly in the dark county town.
After circling the city three times, two identical carriages came out at the intersection. The three carriages ran side by side, and the order was changed from time to time. From the outside, it was impossible to tell which one came from the inn.
The people who followed the order were a little confused and muttered quietly: "Chief, which car is the Xu family's young lady in? Can you still tell?"
"Did you see clearly?"
The person being questioned had a blank expression on his face: "Young Master Xu is clearly planning to escape from us."
Xu Yu did not bring many people with him.
Few people encounter leucorrhea.
The three cars are mixed up and difficult to tell apart. Who can tell where Sang Zhixia is just by looking with one pair of eyes in the night?
If you don’t pay attention to it at first glance, where will you be able to find it again?
Chief Xie took a deep breath, his face darkening as he gritted his teeth. "Tell the brothers not to let go of any car. Follow them secretly in batches."
"By the way, is Young Master Xu still in the inn?"
"exist."
"The Young Master is personally in charge of the inn. Madam Xu can escape, but Young Master Xu can't. One of them must be under the Young Master's watchful eye!"
Jiang Yubai will definitely not let anyone go!
"What kind of bullshit are you talking about?"
Chief Xie kicked the person who spoke in anger and gritted his teeth: "The young master has ordered that no one should be missed. Do you dare to let one go and try?!"
"Also, spread the word. Madam Xu is the young master's distinguished guest. Everyone, open your eyes and don't offend her!"
The man who was scolded nodded awkwardly and followed the three carriages that were going their separate ways.
In the inn, Jiang Yubai listened to the visitor's report and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Xu Yu didn't leave?"
"Young Master Xu is in the back yard."
Jiang Yubai was puzzled: "At this hour, instead of pretending to be asleep to confuse me, what is he doing alone in the yard? Admiring the moon?"
Chief Xie was in a complicated mood. He considered for a moment before saying, "Young Master Xu asked me to find a few palm-sized pieces of golden nanmu yesterday and also asked for a set of carving knives."
"From the look of it, it looks like he's carving something in the moonlight."
"Carve something?"
Jiang Yubai felt even more curious now, and stood up and said, "Then I have to go and take a look."
All the wives have been sent out in three groups, so why is Xu Yu still sitting there carving?
Is this person not in a hurry at all?
Jiang Yubai stood up to leave, but suddenly stopped and said cryptically, "Are you sure you saw my sister-in-law get on the carriage? Was she definitely in one of those three carriages?"
Chief Xie nodded firmly: "I saw it with my own eyes, there is no mistake."
Jiang Yubai reluctantly felt relieved, but after thinking about it, he waved to Chief Xie to come closer: "Come here, I have something else to tell you..."
In the inn's not very elegant courtyard, Xu Yu sat on a stone bench, raised the things in his hand, and threw them at the person who was walking towards him.
Jiang Yubai didn't have time to say a word before he was covered in sawdust as soon as he reached the place. His face twitched and he looked at what Xu Yu was holding in his hand and couldn't help laughing.
"I was wondering, what are you busy doing here in the middle of the night instead of going to sleep? Are you making something for my sister-in-law?"
The wood chips dispersed, and the object in Xu Yu's hand, which had been polished by the carving knife, had already taken shape.
It is a kitten with curly whiskers and pointed ears standing up.
The small stone table also contained the fruits of Xu Yu's midnight work. Jiang Yubai took a quick look and saw that they were a few finger-sized kittens.
The shape of the kitten is simple and smooth, but even the tip of the curled tail is carved vividly. With just a few strokes, it is extremely lively, and each one has a different posture.
Jiang Yubai was really a little surprised.
"Xu Yu, it's only been a short time, and you're already a cook and a carpenter, and you're so capable now?"
"This little thing you made is pretty good. If..."
"Young prince, are you free?"
Xu Yu traced the lines of the golden nanmu wood to create a kitten's whiskers and taunted, "Why aren't you planning your grand plans for the country in the middle of the night? Instead, you're staring at me making some little toy for my wife."
"It's boring for me to be alone. How can it be as interesting as these little things you made?"
Jiang Yubai sat down casually and raised his hand. Xu Yu gave him a warning look, and Jiang Yubai withdrew his hand in frustration: "Is it really that serious?"
"I'm just taking a look. I'm not going to put it in my sleeve and let you take it away."
Xu Yu: "Don't dirty my things."
"I just want to help you think about what kind of box would be suitable. What if my sister-in-law comes back and doesn't like the box you chose?"
Xu Yu lowered his head and polished without saying a word.
Jiang Yubai said with a grin, "Xu Yu, I really want to talk to my sister-in-law. Why are you always hiding me?"
"Look, I'm being so honest, what are you resisting?"
"I just want some food to feed more people. I don't want you to rise up and attack Kyoto right now. Why are you so stubborn?"
Jiang Yubai became angrier as he spoke: "It's not like I won't pay for the food!"
"How much did Chen Nianhe offer? I'll add 30% to his price and pay him the money before the grain arrives at the warehouse. I guarantee not a penny will be owed. Is that even possible?"
"What on earth is it that you can't do?"
"Xu Yu, are you mute? Are you so worried about your sister-in-law leaving that you can't speak?"
"Xu Yu, you..."
"Jiang Yubai, are you done yet?"
Xu Yu raised his eyelids in annoyance, his eyes filled with the rage of wanting to cut out Jiang Yubai's tongue: "If you want to rebel, that's your business. If you want to die, there's no need to bother with anyone."
These two words would make ordinary people feel terrified just by hearing them, but Jiang Yubai's face didn't waver at all when he heard them. He just held his chin and sighed, "You said it as if I'm the only one who wants to rebel."
"If you are truly so loyal and devoted, why did you go to Shu?"
Jiang Yubai didn't get a response from Xu Yu, so he didn't get anxious. He sighed and said lazily, "The Xu family's troubles, the revenge for my father's murder, if I'm not mistaken, all of this is related to that good prince in the imperial city, right?"
"Do you really think the one sitting on the throne is unaware of the Crown Prince's actions? If you could truly tolerate everything, why would you travel all the way to a place as far away as Shu?"
Jiang Yubai's eyes flashed with amusement as he spoke, "You say you're not rebelling, but what you've done against the Crown Prince is no different from rebelling."
Which loyal minister in any dynasty would dare to put obstacles in the way of the prince?
Xu Yu dared to do so.
Jiang Yubai looked at Xu Yu with a look of regret in his eyes. He was about to say something when Xu Yu rudely interrupted him: "What does it have to do with you?"
Xu Yu impatiently blew the sawdust from his fingertips and said coldly, "That's my business. Don't worry about it, young prince."
"Instead of thinking about my own affairs, I should think about how to hide my tail so that no one will find out. This time, I won't have the chance to fake my death and get away."
"What's the big deal?"
Jiang Yubai uttered a nonchalant sigh and said with emotion, "Rebellion is like putting your head on the edge of a knife. It's a life-threatening business anyway. Those who are afraid of death won't do it."
"Why else would I come to you instead of someone else?"
