"Since this gentleman is willing to compensate, I thank him on behalf of the horse."
Lin Daiyu wanted to remind Shen Ajiao not to accept the jade pendant, fearing it might be a trap, but in the blink of an eye, she saw Shen Ajiao accept the jade pendant directly, hang it on the saddle in front of Shui Rong, and smile, "Thank you."
[Hurry up and go!]
Lin Daiyu: ...
Shen Ajiao smiled as she watched Shui Rong leave.
He turned to Lin Daiyu and said, "We won't stay here tonight."
Lin Daiyu didn't ask any further questions, and watched as Shen Ajiao instructed the guards to go to another place.
That day, the two wandered aimlessly around the city for a long time before checking into an inn as darkness fell.
...
"Your Highness, I saw with my own eyes that they checked into the Fulai Inn."
Shui Rong sipped his tea. "What about the jade pendant?"
"Always."
"Okay, have someone keep a close eye on things. I'll be right there."
...
"Madam, we can't see anything at night. We've tried many different places, isn't that enough?"
"Okay, but isn't this just to be on the safe side? Who knows what Shui Rong'an is up to?" "Come with me, we can't let him keep an eye on us."
【Lin Baobao, I'm only thinking about your father's safety. If Shui Rong has ill intentions, I'm afraid your father might not be dead, but instead be caught red-handed and stabbed to death by him!】
[Then we'll be just a widow and her child...]
Happy!
Lin Daiyu fell silent when she thought of her father's unknown fate, and even urged him to hurry to the next place.
The two hurried as fast as they could, arriving at the place where Lin Ruhai had his accident before dawn. Lin Daiyu looked at the dried bloodstains on the ground, and tears streamed down her face. Looking at the rushing river beside her, her heart ached terribly. Father... Father!
Shen Ajiao frowned. This place was open and spacious, with wide official roads on both sides. There were no extra branches on either side of the official roads, and the surrounding environment could be seen at a glance. Lin Ruhai would definitely think that this was the best resting place.
With so many soldiers and officers, the bandits had nowhere to hide. So what exactly happened?
Shen Ajiao picked up a large rock and threw it into the water with a splash. It sank to the bottom immediately; a person would probably not have survived that.
Was it intentional?
If it's done on purpose, isn't that just asking for trouble?
Even if a perfectly healthy person jumps in, they'll be badly injured, if not killed.
Just then, a group of people rode up on horseback along the official road, shouting, "Where is he? Hurry!"
Shen Ajiao cursed inwardly, "How did Shui Rong find them so quickly?"
It seems Lin Ruhai has caused him trouble, and now he's taking the two of them hostage!
He immediately grabbed Lin Daiyu's hand, who was still weeping by the river, and hurriedly got her into the carriage. "Hurry, someone's coming."
Shen Ajiao couldn't help but wonder to herself, could Lin Ruhai really be blind?
No, if he's blind, are the people around him blind too?
There's only one truth! There's a mole inside!
So Lin Ruhai was betrayed!
Poor thing...
The official road was wide and open on both sides, with nowhere to hide. Seeing the people getting closer and closer, Shen Ajiao gritted her teeth, took Lin Daiyu off the carriage, and walked along the river. Fortunately, this section of the road was at a bend, and the water plants were lush, so they could not be seen.
The remaining guards rode their horses and drove the carriage forward.
The road ahead is difficult and fraught with difficulties. Lin Ruhai, considering how hard I've searched for you, if you really die, could I ask for some gold and silver instead of the condolence gift?
Forget it, you'd better live. If you come back, you can give me more.
Gold and silver mountains are only a continuous source of wealth if one is alive.
There's so much silt along the riverbank!
And those reeds, swaying in the wind, are so beautiful.
She keeps sneezing.
Achoo!
[Waaaaah, Lin Ruhai, if you die, you'll have let me down!]
Achoo!
"Help me! My shoe is stuck!"
...
After a long journey of an hour, Shen Ajiao and Lin Daiyu got lost.
Shen Ajiao glanced at the guard beside her. "Didn't you say you were best at tracking when you came?"
The guard scratched his thigh, which was itchy from the mud stings, and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Madam..."
"Call me Young Master!"
"Young master, you've fallen into the water twice, your shoes have been swept away three times, and you've gotten stuck in the mud five times..."
Forehead……
"Hehe, no need to say anything, go catch a fish."
Waaaaah, is she the only one feeling this way?
Lin Daiyu was so clean and pure, it was almost unbelievable.
? ? ?
What's going on? They're not taking the same route?
Truly, it rises from the mud unsullied...
Even with dirty shoes, she's still so beautiful...
Well, it seems only she feels this way. It's really heartbreaking.
"Big brother, do you think Father is also lost like us?" Lin Daiyu had just taken the opportunity to look around at the surrounding environment. The forest was dense, the road was narrow, and there was a big mountain behind them.
"Possibly."
"Never mind that for now, it's getting dark soon, we should find a place to spend the night."
I'm not afraid of any ferocious beasts, but I am afraid of some insects and snakes.
A wild beast can slash you twice, and an insect or snake can bite you twice; it's impossible to defend against them all.
After a quick tidying up, Shen Ajiao and Lin Daiyu walked in the middle, with guards clearing the way in front and behind them, and soon they emerged from the reeds.
But they went into the mountains...
"You're just your intuition??"
Shen Ajiao wished someone would go up and kick him twice.
The guard chuckled, "Young master, there's a cave ahead. Back when I went hunting in the mountains, I always found it perfectly..."
"roll!"
Shen Ajiao sighed deeply. She had told him to find an exit, preferably somewhere with people, but he had found her a cave instead?
