Chapter 556

Xie Changqing's people are waiting in the dark for opportunities.

After they met in that small town that day, Xie Changqing was afraid that his whereabouts would be exposed, so he and Xuan Jing left the county town that night and found a hidden, run-down mountain village to stay.

Hongxiu's maidservant has not been found yet.

The entire team is almost entirely made up of men, and the matters of dressing change and personal care inevitably fall on Xuan Jing's head.

Hong Xiu was not happy, but there was nothing she could do for the sake of her life.

Moreover, Xuan Jing has been asked to take care of it several times, so what's the point of changing it to someone else.

Fortunately, the injury was not serious, and after a few days of recovery, he was finally able to get out of bed.

On this day, the sky was extremely gloomy and it looked like it would rain soon.

The soldiers around Xie Changqing ran over from outside, "General, there is news!"

"how?"

After this period of tracking, Xie Changqing is no longer as excited as he was at the beginning when he heard the news, but is now very stable.

The soldier said: "The news came from Xiaoshi Village that a young man... saw a girl with brown hair and pupils."

"Where are you now? Are you still in Xiaoshi Village? Or have you gone somewhere?"

"No longer in Xiaoshi Village. The young man left with the girl. He left five days ago. People in the village said that the young man was an orphan. He had no relatives and left silently. No one knows where they went. place."

"And, and..."

Xie Changqing frowned and said, "If you have something to say, say it. Why are you hesitating?"

"Yes……"

The soldier said bravely: "The news came that the girl is the young man's new wife."

"..."

Xie Changqing's face was gloomy. After being silent for a moment, he asked, "Are you sure it's her?"

"The people from the government are here. They are holding the portrait. They should be able to determine quickly whether it is Miss Lan." A close friend said hesitantly: "But Miss Lan's characteristics are very obvious..."

With long brown hair and brown eyes, she is as beautiful as a jade porcelain doll.

With these descriptions, who else could it be if not Shallan?
But he didn't dare to say more about this.

After all, he didn't see it with his own eyes.

Xie Changqing sat expressionless for a long time, then suddenly ordered: "Get ready and go to Xiaoshi Village in the evening."

portrait.

Not only the government has it, but he also has it!
That night, Xie Changqing took his team to Xiaoshi Village. When leaving, he told Xuan Jing not to accompany him.

Firstly, too many people at the event can easily attract the attention of the government. Secondly, people are needed to distract the government's attention. Xuan Jing's team is just right.

He is a member of the Xuanjia Army, and the government can't do anything to him.

Thirdly...if it is confirmed that the person who showed up in Xiaoshi Village is really Shalan, then Shalan is probably no longer in Anyang.

She was well aware of the dangers in Anyang, and how could she stay in such a dangerous place with her astuteness.

Anyang is dangerous because it is Yun Xianning's territory.

Once she is out of here, she is not within Yun Xianning's sphere of influence. If she has someone around to help her, she will be able to escape quickly.

Xuan Jing also agreed with Xie Changqing's arrangement, so he and Xie Changqing parted ways and took Hongxiu to another road.

……

When Xie Changqing's team arrived at Xiaoshi Village, it was already early morning on the second day.

Officials from the government came once last night. The messy horseshoe marks on the intersection in front of the village showed that many people came yesterday.

"Look at the horse hoof prints, they left last night."

It started to rain yesterday afternoon, and Xie Changqing's team braved the rain to move forward.

The mountain road is rugged and difficult to walk, but fortunately they have experienced hardships in Yaocheng, so they are not afraid of this difficulty.

However, those people from the government were all Taiping soldiers. Naturally, they couldn't bear the urge to search for someone in such heavy rainy weather, so they asked a few people and left in a hurry.

Xie Changqing told his subordinates to tie up the horses and personally led two people into the village.

The soldiers who were inquiring about the news led the way, and soon they arrived at the courtyard where the young man originally lived.The soldier pushed the door open and said, "He is the only one living in this location. It is said that he is a young man named Fan. His parents and relatives are all deceased. He brought the foreign girl back eight days ago..."

Xie Changqing looked at the mess in the yard.

Hoes, sickles, and dustpans were scattered everywhere.

It can be seen that the officers and soldiers ransacked this place last night.

He said slowly: "In other words, it took the woman three days to let the man take her away."

"..."

The soldier paused and said in a low voice: "It's probably like this. The villagers said that this young man was the girl he bought with money at the county market. The villagers saw it with their own eyes. He bought it to be a wife. Son’s…”

Xie Changqing walked around the yard and stepped into the room.

An adobe house with a low door.

Xie Changqing had to bend down and lower his head to enter the house.

The room was dark, with a damp smell coming from the rain.

Xie Changqing looked around all the rooms, and finally stopped and stood beside a dilapidated wooden frame bed for a long time.

"General, general?" the soldiers outside called hesitantly.

Xie Changqing slowly bent over and picked up a brown hair from between the shabby bed, the damp mattress and the tattered mattress.

The hair hung on his fingertips, and it seemed that he could still smell the fragrance that was unique to Shalan.

Xie Changqing suddenly curled his lips, and his face, which had been frozen for half a month, finally showed some warmth.

Finally a clue.

Xie Changqing twisted the strand of hair around his fingertips a few times and stuffed it between his belt. He scanned the room carefully to make sure there was no trace of other Shalan in the room, and then immediately turned around and went out.

Xie Changqing felt that Shalan should return to Molan.

It’s just that if you want to return to Molan, you need to go to Yaocheng first and then go to sea.

This road is not easy, even if she finds someone to take her and help her, it will not be easy.

Navigating roads in various places is an extremely difficult thing...

By the way, she was bought as a daughter-in-law.

If the young man named Fan already had a guide, everything would be much easier.

But as long as a road guide is used, the government will definitely have records.

Anyang's government can be of great use.

If you follow them, you can trace the young man's whereabouts.

but……

Xie Changqing looked back at the dark room.

The courtyard is simple and shabby, and the bedroom is even more shabby, with only one bed.

Shalan's hair stuck to the damp bedding, proving that she had slept in that bed.

She is that young man's... daughter-in-law.

Xie Changqing's face was a little gloomy, and he left the yard faster.

No matter what, find someone first before you can say anything else.

The officials in Anyang were all focused on searching for Sha Lan. In addition, Xuan Jing took the initiative to show up and approached the officials asking for the recovery of Hongxiu's team.

Xuan Jing was born in the Xuan Jia Army, with Yun Qi supporting him, and Hongxiu's team of martial maids were under Xie Zhaozhao's command.

The Anyang government did not dare to be careless and could only deal with it in a good manner.

As a result, Xie Changqing's team has been hiding in the dark, and has never been targeted by the Anyang government.

Five days later, Xie Changqing received news that the young man named Fan had taken the waterway to Danzhou.
