A group of six people were riding on tall horses on the official road, moving forward at high speed against the biting cold wind.
When they saw a tea plantation ahead, Qin Yue, who was in the lead, stopped his horse first and said to the people behind him, "We'll be in Gaoyun County in two hours. Let's rest here first!"
When the waiter at Cha Liao saw the brightly-colored horses riding on the horses, he came over to lead the horses with great tact.
Qin Yue led Li Erlang to Cha Liao.
Shadow three and shadow four followed the waiter to feed and water the horses.
They had been traveling very fast these days, but thanks to the horses, they would feed the horses whenever they rested.
The two men tied the horses to the stable and ordered the waiter, "All these horses must be fed with fine feed, and no carelessness is allowed!" After that, they threw a dime over.
The waiter who was running the tea shop was very considerate. He took the money and immediately nodded and went to do the job!
Qin Yue turned around and saw that Li Erlang was walking in an awkward manner. He asked with some concern, "Uncle Li, can you still hold on?"
Dozens of consecutive days of high-intensity rapid marches were indeed difficult for him, who had rarely traveled far on horseback. Fortunately, the clothes he wore in winter were thick enough, otherwise his inner thighs would have been rubbed!
Li Erlang's face turned slightly pale as he said, "It's okay, it's nothing serious!"
When riding a horse in this kind of weather, no matter how much you wear, the biting cold wind will still penetrate into your skin and flesh. Traveling every day is like having thousands of knives ravaging your body.
Even so, he still gritted his teeth and persevered, just because his daughter was waiting for him ahead!
After they sat down, Qin Yue said to them, "After entering Gaoyun, we need to act separately. The four of you follow Uncle Li. I'll let you know if anything happens!"
"Can....."
Before Yingyi finished speaking, Qin Yue continued, "There's nothing to worry about. I should have been under surveillance as soon as I entered the city. This matter must be done!"
The four shadow guards lowered their heads and remained silent.
They dared not disobey the young master's words, but if it involved the young master's safety, they could not watch him take the risk alone.
Li Erlang looked at the silent shadow guard and suggested, "If you don't have anyone with you, they'll be suspicious. Bring two with you. At least it will be convenient for you to contact them later!"
The four of them looked at Qin Yue pleadingly.
Qin Yue sighed and let it go. In the end, he let Yingyi and Yingsi follow him, and Yinger and Yingsan follow Li Erlang.
After a short rest, the group of six continued on their journey. By evening, two groups of people, one in front and the other behind, entered Gaoyun County.
Gaoyun County is located in a border area with a sparse population. The streets in the county town are narrow, and the houses on both sides of the streets are very old. The peeling yellow mud on the walls reveals the traces of time.
Perhaps because the weather was very cold, all the shops on the streets and alleys were closed, with only a few merchants keeping their doors open.
There are two inns in the city, standing opposite each other. A few days ago, because the court allowed mutual trade, the business of the two inns has improved!
But now it is winter again, and many merchants dare not go out in the freezing cold, so business is a little slow!
When Qin Yue walked into an inn, the waiter was taking a nap with his head propped up.
"Are there any guest rooms here?"
A sudden voice rang out, startling the dozing waiter. After seeing the elegantly dressed Qin Yue, the waiter immediately stepped forward respectfully and said, "Yes, yes, how many rooms would you like, sir?"
"Please arrange two rooms for me, preferably ones that are more secluded!"
The waiter nodded repeatedly, leading Qin Yue to a quiet corner of the inn and pushing open the two wooden doors. The room was clean and tidy, with the bedding neatly arranged. Apart from the simple furnishings, Qin Yue was quite satisfied.
"These are two superior guest rooms. Sir, please rest first. If you need anything, you can call me at any time." The waiter said politely.
Ying Yi, who was standing by, gave the waiter some money and ordered, "Send some hot water over!"
The waiter took the money with a smile on his face and said respectfully, "Please wait a moment, the hot water will be here soon!"
After the waiter left, Qin Yue said to the two of them, "You guys go and rest for a while. I just arrived today, so I don't think they'll act that quickly. At the very least, they won't contact me until tomorrow!"
After the two left, Qin Yue leaned against the headboard. However, after ten days, a look of fatigue lingered between Qin Yue's brows.
He felt tired even after rushing all the way. She was a girl who had never been out of the house before, and she didn't know if her body could handle being forced to hurry on in such weather!
Li Erlang, who was staying in another inn, had the same concerns after he dismissed the servant.
He had lost weight visibly as he traveled day and night. He had been so busy traveling these days that he had no time to think about anything else. Now that he had finally arrived at his destination, he realized how difficult this journey had been!
I wonder how much suffering Yan'er has to endure along the way, Li Erlang thought with heartache.
__________
Just as Qin Yue expected, when he stepped into Gaoyun County, the spy who had been hiding at the city gate followed him.
It was not until he saw Qin Yue walk into an inn that he walked towards his own base.
That night, the news of Qin Yue's arrival was delivered to Timur.
He paced back and forth excitedly. He didn't expect that this plan would be so successful. He didn't expect that the little girl played such a big role.
As if remembering something, he sneered sinisterly, "I didn't realize you're just like your father, a lovesick person!"
Then he said with a ferocious look on his face: "Unfortunately, you are all destined to die!"
He immediately sat down at the desk and began to write a letter, instructing the secret agent to ask Qin Yue to come to Suzhou City tomorrow.
After writing the letter, he handed it to the attendant standing outside and asked him to pass it to the waiting spy.
The next day, after Qin Yue had breakfast and returned to his room, he saw a letter stuffed into the room.
When I opened the letter, I saw that it said, "If you want to see that girl, come to Suzhou City!"
Qin Yue couldn't help but close his eyes, and when he regained consciousness, he was already clear-headed.
He no longer hesitated and went downstairs to get the horse.
Two people, one standing and one squatting, were looking at Qin Yue with burning eyes by the stable. They knew that their master would definitely take action today, so they simply waited by the stable. As expected, they met their master!
Qin Yue knew that he might never come back, so he ordered, "Wait for my news at the inn!"
The two of them stood in front of Qin Yue and said firmly: "Master, please take us with you."
Ever since they chose to follow their master, their master's safety has been above everything else. They couldn't possibly let their master take risks alone while they hid behind!
The two men lowered their heads and resisted silently.
Forget it, Qin Yue said helplessly: "When the time comes, just follow my instructions!"
The two of them responded immediately!
