They followed the route to a fork in the road and didn't know which way the people went.
Shen Mo looked at the road, squatted down, and wiped a drop of blood on the ground...
"Is she hurt?"
The captain of the guard heard his hoarse voice, which was actually a question, and he nodded self-reproachfully.
"Miss Lin stabbed her neck with a hairpin to protect me..."
"Damn it! Hurry up, follow these bloodstains!"
Shen Mo felt like his heart was torn in two. He held his right hand, which was shaking uncontrollably, and quickly followed.
Halfway through the journey, the bloodstains suddenly disappeared.
"Sir, there is no blood in front. Maybe those people found it."
"Where is the next step?"
"Sir, there are no residents ahead, only the moat!"
Did they leave from the river? Shen Mo looked around and saw that the surroundings were empty and there was nothing special.
"Oh, can he fly from the sky? Search for me! Dig three feet deep to find him!"
"yes!"
They searched all night but couldn't find anyone. The city gate was heavily guarded at night, so it was impossible to take anyone away from the city gate.
"Master! We found an abandoned house with an underground passage inside! It seems to lead to the outside of the city!"
Shen Mo's face was as gloomy as his name. It had been so long, what if...
He shook his head. Stay calm, stay calm! There is no such thing as a single event!
"lead the way!"
The tunnel is in the woodshed of the house. There are scattered branches inside, which is consistent with the characteristics of an abandoned house, but if you look closely, you can still see branches that have been trampled.
A few people moved the firewood pile away, and a dark hole suddenly appeared on the ground. They shone a torch inside and found a rope ladder. After testing its strength, it was still usable.
The captain of the guard took the lead and was the first to go down. He was determined to die, not only to find Lin Wanwan, but also to avenge his dead brothers!
The passage becomes wider as you go deeper, and there are many forks in the road. It seems that this tunnel has more than one entrance.
They followed the blood trail for about an incense stick of time before finally seeing the exit.
"Sir, this is a short path outside the city. Go north through the woods for a while and you will reach the official road."
"It seems they have someone to pick them up, and they have been planning this for a long time."
Shen Mo could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. He punched the tree, and the back of his hand was immediately covered in blood.
The chief guard was also very uncomfortable when he saw this, and said, “Master Shen, there is a post station one mile ahead on the official road, but there are not many horses there. Should we go there?”
Shen Mo thought about it and nodded in agreement, "Let's split up into two groups and see where they went."
He took a team of people and followed the captain of the guard to the post station, and the rest of the team searched along the path.
They ran all the way to the post station. There was only a waiter dozing off inside. Shen Mo walked up and woke him up.
"Hey, ladies and gentlemen, do you want to eat or take a rest?"
Shen Mo took out a piece of silver from his sleeve and placed it on the table. "Little brother, I want to ask you something. Did you see a group of people passing by just now?"
The clerk immediately took the silver with a smile on his face and replied with a smile: "It's just a coincidence. I just went out to pee and happened to meet a group of people heading west."
“How many people are there?”
"Let me think about it. There were probably more than a dozen people on horseback, and a carriage. I was really scared to see so many people suddenly appear in the middle of the night."
Shen Mo nodded and threw him another piece of silver. "How many horses are there in the store?"
"There are eight more. Hehe, sir. They are all excellent horses. How many do you want?"
"I have everything. Hurry up, we are in a hurry."
When the guy heard this, he quickly took them to get the horses. He was so happy. Who could have thought that he would get a big order in the middle of the night? How could he not be happy?
After buying the horses, they followed the tracks of the carriage and chased after them. They galloped all the way and the horses were so tired that they foamed at the mouth.
"Master, we have passed Luochuan City in Raozhou, and in front of us is Fengshui County. It is already daybreak, and there are too many people on the road. It is difficult for us to chase them!"
"Let's find an inn to rest first."
After finding the residence, Shen Mo immediately wrote a letter to Shen Li, informing him of Lin Wan's disappearance and asking him to help investigate.
He happened to be on his way back to Yun'an County. He heard from the captain of the guard that Lin Wanwan said at the time that she had sent the things back to Yun'an County. If they wanted to get the things back, they would have to go there.
Shen Mo didn't dare to delay any longer. He left one person to deliver the letter, and the others all changed horses and followed him.
Although Lin Wanwan was not seriously wounded by the hairpin, she shed a lot of blood. Those people dragged her and made her jog, with blood dripping all the way. It was unknown whether the captain of the guards could bring people to find her.
The leader gave her medicine, tied her up and stuffed her into the carriage. She didn't dare to sleep and kept her eyes open throughout the journey, fearing that she would be shot if she was not careful.
She didn't know how long she stayed in the carriage, but it finally stopped and someone pulled her out of the carriage and walked into a house.
They locked Lin Wanwan in a secret room, untied her, threw her two buns, and then closed the stone door.
Lin Wanwan looked at the buns on the ground with some disgust. No, she had to find a way to escape!
“857! 857! Are you there?”
"Wanwan is here!"
"Quick, give me some drugs, the more the better. Oh, and give me some antidotes!"
"Okay Wanwan!"
"Bang!" A sack of powder fell to the ground out of thin air...
“Too many!”
The sack disappeared in an instant, and after a while, it was replaced by a cloth bag. She decisively put it on her back, ready to sprinkle the sleeping pills at any time.
