Qin Gang also saw the two of them, winked at them, and rode out of the city.
Li Yunze and Ye Yutong looked at each other and immediately turned around and followed.
Walking to a remote road, Qin Gang stopped and handed the portrait to Li Yunze.
"Sir, several people came from Dongyang County yesterday. They were secretly making inquiries with your portrait. I happened to bump into them. Our Lord asked me to come over and tell you that it is best not to enter the city these days."
Li Yunze held the portrait that was about 60 to 70% like him and narrowed his eyes. He wondered who sent the person this time.
"Okay, I understand, thank you."
After Qin Gang rode away, Li Yunze showed the portrait to Ye Yutong.
Looking at the unlikeable portrait, Ye Yutong couldn't help but smile, "If you were painted like this, Mr. Qin and the others could still recognize you. You are really discerning."
Li Yunze also raised the corners of his lips, "Let's not go into the city now. Let's go see it in the evening."
Ye Yutong looked at it a few more times, then threw the portrait into the space, "Who do you think sent this group of people?"
Li Yunze said sarcastically: "It's either King Pingnan or Li Yunhao. Apart from the two of them, I'm afraid no one else cares that much about my current situation."
"So how can you not feel guilty after robbing other people's things? I'm afraid I won't even be able to sleep well at night."
Ye Yutong sneered, looked in the direction of Dongyang County and said, "You stay in the space while I go to the city to take a look."
Li Yunze thought for a while and said, "Then you should be careful and don't act without authorization, so as not to alert others. I will deal with these people personally at night."
Ye Yutong nodded and sent him to space.
As soon as she reached the city gate, she met Yan Yi who was leaving the city again.
As soon as Yan saw her, he hurriedly rode over and said in a low voice:
"Madam, there is someone in the city who is asking around with the master's portrait. You go back and talk to him and ask him not to enter the city for the time being. I will check how many people there are on the other side, and then I will go back and report to you."
Ye Yutong said: "Brother Yan, Ping An and I already know that I have something to do in the city now.
You go to the camp immediately and tell Uncle Lin Zhong to step up the defense of the base.
If you see a suspicious person wandering around, arrest him immediately. Let him give the order again and keep people from the base from going out for the next few days. "
"Yes, ma'am."
Ye Yutong went directly to the wine shop, where Shitou was standing at the door greeting customers.
When he saw her, he sent that person away with a few words. "Tongtong, did you meet Yan Yi on the road?"
Ye Yutong nodded, "Uncle Shitou, Ping An and I both know. Don't worry, continue doing business. Ping An and I will handle this matter."
She parked the horse in the backyard, changed into men's clothes, and went for a walk on the street.
After walking through the main street, she didn't see anyone suspicious, so she went to the mixed street to the east.
This street used to be very chaotic, and there were a lot of petty thefts. People from all walks of life liked to do dirty transactions here.
But since Qin Changan came to Dongyang County and took office, he sent two teams of government officials to guard here.
Although it is still a bit messy now, it is much better than before.
The hawking sounds of vendors on both sides of the street are a bit pyrotechnic.
Ye Yutong went to the busiest teahouse and ordered a pot of tea. He sat there and listened to the scholar talk about the past and the present.
She took a sip of tea and glanced at the two men in the corner.
The two of them must have been dressed up in disguise. Although they were dressed similarly to the people in the teahouse, their aura was obviously different from the people around them.
After a while, another person came outside. He went straight to the table in the corner and sat down, saying something to the two people.
It was very noisy in the teahouse, and Ye Yutong was a little far away from them, so he couldn't hear what they were saying clearly? But it could be seen that the three of them had some disappointment on their faces.
The older man took out a piece of paper from his arms and opened it. Ye Yutong glanced at it and saw it was Li Yunze's portrait.
The man waved to the waiter in the teahouse, gave him a piece of broken silver, and then asked him: "Second brother, have you seen this person?"
The waiter took the portrait, looked at it carefully, and shook his head, "Sir, my memory is pretty good, but this person looks unfamiliar. He must have never been here before."
The man waved to the waiter and placed Li Yunze's portrait casually on the table.
Ye Yutong rolled his eyes, and when the waiter went to the back to fetch water with a kettle, he deliberately shouted: "Waiter, add some water."
She shouted twice but no one answered, so she took the teapot and cursed, preparing to get the water herself.
He walked to the table where the three of them were sitting, glanced at the table inadvertently, and let out a surprised sigh.
The older man saw her staring at the portrait on the table, paused, and then asked with a smile: "Little brother, do you know this person?"
Ye Yutong put the teapot on the table, looked at the portrait carefully for a while, and said uncertainly:
"It looks a bit like a brother I just met some time ago, but if you look closely, he doesn't look much like him."
She smiled and shook her head, and said sheepishly, "I must have seen it wrong."
The three men all had surprise in their eyes. The older man bowed his hands towards Ye Yutong and asked politely:
"Little brother, there must be some differences between this portrait and the real person. I wonder who the brother you know is named. Is he in Dongyang County now?"
The man was afraid that Ye Yutong would become suspicious, so he pretended to be sad and said: "The person in the portrait is my young boy. He got angry with our old lady two years ago and ran away from home in anger.
In the past two years, our old lady and my wife have been crying every day, and we are very worried about the safety of the young master.
Our master sent us out to search for him, but we have been searching for him for two or three years, but there is still no whereabouts of the young master.
If this little brother knows where our young master is now, can you tell me? My family is really worried about him. "
Ye Yutong smiled and waved his hands: "Then my brother Li is definitely not the person you are looking for. His mother passed away when he was very young, and his father also disappeared a few years ago. Now he is alone, how can he be you? Master."
After listening to her words, the three of them knew that Brother Li in her mouth was probably the former prince. After searching for so long, I finally got some clues.
The three of them looked at each other, and the man who came after him pretended to be confused and said:
"Little brother, after listening to your description, why do I think the person you are talking about is our young master? I wonder what your brother Li's name is?"
Ye Yutong said in surprise: "No way, if Brother Li is your young master, then why would he lie to me?"
She suddenly slapped her forehead again, looked at the three of them and said in disbelief: "Is it because you are afraid that I will know that he ran away from home?"
The older man sighed, "Maybe the young master said this because he was too sad and didn't want to mention family matters."
Ye Yutong nodded in realization, "So that's it."
The man looked at her and asked: "This little brother, is the Brother Li you know named Li Yunze?"
Ye Yutong shook his head, "No, my brother's name is Li Ping'an."
