Chapter 391
"Miss!" Hong Xiu said hesitantly: "It doesn't look like Mr. Lu was kidnapped. Did he leave on his own?"

Although Lu Jingrong didn't know martial arts, there was absolutely no way ordinary people could abduct him.

What's more, it's a heavily guarded place like Yaocheng Military Camp.

"I don't know."

Xie Zhaozhao carefully put away the two pieces of paper. After a moment of complicated expression, he turned around and left the yard.

Hongxia checked the city gate and asked various patrol teams. When she returned to Xie Zhaozhao, the sky was completely dark.

Seeing Hongxia's solemn but somewhat doubtful expression, Xie Zhaozhao understood: "Sir, he left on his own, right?"

"……Yes."

Hongxia said with a complicated expression: "On the way out of the city, a patrolling soldier asked Mr. what he was going to do. He said he wanted to take a walk. When we were leaving the city, the general guarding the city also asked Mr. what happened and wanted to help."

"But the gentleman said he would handle it himself... Everyone in Yaocheng's army knew that he was the lady's guest and an important person, so naturally they didn't dare to stop him, so they actually let him leave the city!"

"Which city gate?" Xie Zhaozhao asked, "Is it going to Danzhou?"

"Correct."

Hongxia nodded, with a worried look on her face, "Miss, do you think your husband went to Danzhou alone to investigate the matter of that soldier?"

"Nine times out of ten."

"Then should we send someone to look for him? Danzhou is not at peace. What if-"

"Maybe not."

Xie Zhaozhao was silent for a moment and said, "I think your husband does things in a measured way. He knows what he is doing."

The evil side and Lu Jingrong's anomaly all prove that Lu Jingrong may have some suspicions about the soldiers.

It's just that Lu Jingrong is inconvenient to talk to him.

What kind of involvement would it be?

……

After this day, Yao City was calm for several days.

Although Xie Zhaozhao said there was no need to look for Lu Jingrong, he was still worried about Lu Jingrong's safety. On the night Lu Jingrong left, he sent Xuan Jing to personally look for traces of Lu Jingrong.

Xuan Jing was born in the Anbu of Xuanjia Army.

Martial arts, tracking, concealment, and some tricks of the rivers and lakes are all extremely powerful, so I feel most at ease when I send him out.

However, there has been no news for several days.

Seven or eight days passed like this. One day after getting up early, Xie Changzhi suddenly came to look for Xie Zhaozhao and said solemnly: "He asked me to meet."

"where?"

"The seaside..." Xie Changzhi said: "He said that if I think about it, I can go to a reef near the seaside tonight. There is a small boat there and he will wait for me."

Xie Zhaozhao stood up immediately, "Where is the reef? I have been to the beach many times recently, and the place with the reef seems to be near the southwest."

"It's not there, it's the shallow bay in the northwest corner." Xie Changzhi frowned and said: "It's just that he is very cautious. We always have patrol teams coming and going at the beach all night long. It seems unlikely that he would choose such a place to meet..."

"I was forced to do that in Black Dragon Pond, and then that time outside Yaocheng, I also changed places several times before I met him."

Xie Zhaozhao nodded, "Then I guess it will be the same this time... In this way, we first inform the second brother to secretly deploy elite troops near the shallow bay, and we will act accordingly tonight depending on the situation."

Xie Changzhi also nodded: "Okay."

……

Now that the months are approaching winter, it’s getting dark earlier and earlier.

The soldiers in the camp had just picked up the dinner bowls, and the sky was already pitch black.Xie Changzhi waited quietly for the time to pass little by little. When the appointed time finally arrived, he avoided the patrol guards and headed all the way to the shallow bay on the seaside.

The wind and waves in the shallow bay were very strong at night, and there were extremely high rocks on both sides.

The sound of waves crashing on the rocks was loud.

Xie Zhaozhao, Hongxiu and Hongxia were already waiting not far away, secretly thinking that this was actually a good place for a secret meeting.

It's just that she led people to guard it for three hours. This place couldn't be called a person. Except for the small fish and shrimps blown by the wind and waves and slapped on the shore, not even a ghost came here.

Did that person find out the clues, so he didn't show up?
Or are you trying to make something mysterious again?
"Master Changzhi has passed." Hongxia lowered her voice and said, "Half a cup of tea is available."

"Ah."

Xie Zhaozhao nodded.

There are reefs on three sides of Qianwan Bay, and one side faces the sea.

After Xie Changzhi passed by, his figure was blocked by the rocks, so he couldn't see clearly what was going on there.

Xie Zhaozhao waited for another half cup of tea. Xie Changzhi came out of the shallow bay, glanced at the place where Xie Zhaozhao was hiding, and shook his head.

Xie Zhaozhao thought for a moment, then stood up and came out: "Is there no one there?"

"only this."

Xie Changzhi raised his hand, and in the palm of his hand was a coarse porcelain wine jar. The stopper had been pulled out. There was a piece of rolled up silk held on his fingertips, and he could vaguely see writing on it.

Xie Zhaozhao went up to open it and saw that there was only one row of words on it——

If you want to cooperate, go to Danzhou with sincerity and we will find you.

Xie Changzhi frowned and said: "Perhaps my attitude was not firm enough before, but this time they were hesitant."

Xie Zhaozhao took the rough porcelain wine jar and looked through it carefully several times, and then went to the edge of the shallow bay: "How did you find it?"

"This jar is floating on the water." Xie Changzhi also followed, standing on the rocks and pointing to a sunken inlet below, "I waited for a long time and found no one."

"The jar was knocked against the rocks by the waves again. I looked at it and picked it up."

"Oh." Xie Zhaozhao nodded, "It's just an ordinary wine jar..."

As she spoke, she lowered her head and sniffed the mouth of the altar: "And it's empty. The freshly baked smell has never contained anything."

This kind of wine jar can be found everywhere. It is really nothing unusual, so it is naturally difficult to trace it.

But how could the wine jar float to this place by such a coincidence?
Xie Zhaozhao hesitated and said: "I'm afraid there are eyes in the camp."

Xie Changzhi also nodded, "And it's still with us...otherwise it would be impossible to quietly release the letter in our courtyard, and we don't know if the wine jar can be placed here."

After a pause, Xie Changzhi added: "The last time I went out of the city to see him, his letter also appeared directly on my desk. I asked my personal guards and no one had ever entered or left my yard during that time."

"The person who delivered the letter appears and disappears, almost like a ghost."

As the words came to this point, the sea breeze blew and wrapped around several people.

Everyone felt cold behind their backs and had goosebumps all over their bodies for no apparent reason.

"Miss, those people can even make soldiers, could they really make other unclean things to deliver messages?" Hongxia said with a trembling voice.

"Don't be afraid." Xie Zhaozhao squeezed her hand, "Even if there are strange forces and chaos in this world, evil will never prevail against good."

"Besides...it's just a message without leaving any trace. If we use some means, it may not be possible." Xie Zhaozhao said solemnly: "Do you still remember that Mr. Lu gave me a book before, and there was a saying about whirlpools on the water surface. .”

"Although I have only a partial understanding of it, I have a rough understanding of it through Mr.'s demonstration. If someone had thrown the message jar into the nearby sea in advance, it would be possible for it to catch the force of the waves and blow it here."
