As if she really understood.
A faint sigh.
Someone was discreetly reporting in the corridor.
Wei Ning came to see him for something.
If Wei Ning dared to come to him at this time, there must be something urgent.
Looking at the energetic baby, he frowned, but picked up the baby and held it in his arms. While gently patting the baby's back, he walked to the back of the table outside and sat down, letting the baby lie on his back. He was playing with his pajamas in his arms.
Wei Ning hurried in and saw two maids kneeling in the corridor with tired expressions.
She looked familiar, she seemed to be the maid next to Shen Yinxiao.
He paused, slowed down, opened the door and went in.
"General."
Wei Chengzheng lazily sat with one leg up, holding the baby leisurely in his hands.
Lift it up and put it down, put it down and lift it up again.
The small, short-legged glutinous rice ball in his hand giggled, and his two fat legs were kicking happily in the air, without the slightest worry that he would fall from his father's hands.
Wei Cheng was carrying the child as if he were carrying a sandbag.
Wei Ning has seen Wei Cheng's various expressions, such as being kind-hearted one moment, and skinning people calmly the next.
Thinking of the two maids kneeling outside the door, he couldn't help but take another look at the child in his master's hands.
Having her here is indeed the best bargaining chip to threaten that person back.
But if you really anger the general, it doesn't actually matter whether you have leverage or not.
He was a little unsure about what the general would do if he found that person.
"What's wrong?"
He glanced sideways at Wei Ning, who was in a daze.
The child in his hand also turned his head and said "Ah", as if he was also asking him.
Wei Ning said seriously: "We found out the news about Shen."
There was a long silence.
The air was deathly solid.
The child was held by his round waist and hung in the air for too long, with his mouth open and complaining about his dissatisfaction to his father.
Wei Cheng put the child on his lap and let her crawl around on him.
"Where."
He stroked the child's furry head, his voice low and hoarse.
"Anyi." Wei Ning replied respectfully.
The wildly beating heart calmed down little by little.
The blood all over his body was running hot, and he pulled at his collar hotly.
The people sent to Chang'an stayed on guard for several months, but there was no news about her.
It turns out that he went to Anyi.
Anyi.
He squinted at the dark sky outside the door. The winding roof ridges in the distance seemed like giant beasts dormant in the darkness, ready to move. He felt no sleepiness at all.
"We'll find your mother soon." He laughed softly, like a bloodthirsty ghost about to feast.
"Is Alin happy?"
The moon and stars are few and far between, and magpies are flying south.
Seeing that this day is coming to an end.
How long has that woman been running?
The chips in his hand were so big, minus one month, it was the day the woman had to escape.
"Prepare your horses and set off for Bingzhou immediately."
——
Anyi is a small place, and Feng Kui deliberately curry favor, so the search went smoothly.
We went door to door and found out all the homeless people under the bridge, the beggars in the temple, and the prostitutes in the private houses.
He sat in the government office in Anyi and listened quietly to the county captain's report.
His face darkened little by little.
He was robbed outside the city. After entering the city, he had to sleep in a ruined temple and an abandoned house. He bought a dozen cooking cakes from a cake stall to satisfy his hunger. He was chased by the pursuers. He fled, bought cloth, embroidered, and sold goods on the street to make ends meet.
The experience of struggling for food and clothing for several months was conveyed in a few strokes.
Anyi County Lieutenant didn't know who the person he was ordered to investigate by Feng Feng was. He just felt that this person's identity was unusual. He expected that he was a master with the power of life and death. How could a small County Lieutenant like him have such power? It was his great luck to have the opportunity to come into contact with these important people, so he only chose the important ones to talk about, and tried to report them as sharply and concisely as possible.
The man in front of him didn't seem satisfied with this.
He interrupted every sentence in a deep voice and asked carefully as if digging out the marrow.
They even asked the four robbers tirelessly how they robbed the person, what they said, what they did, and whether they even touched the person.
Perhaps even he himself didn't realize that his face was getting gloomier little by little, and the air around him almost condensed into ice. In the cold weather, the county captain's back was already soaked with cold sweat as he answered. .
Finally the four were caught up.
Everyone in the hall was kicked out, and even the young man who had been following the man walked out. The county captain took one last sneak peek when he came out.
The man stood up, with broad shoulders and narrow back, and a tall figure, which made the four ruffians kneeling on the ground look as frail as ants.
A whip made of snakeskin and horse tendon was wrapped around the man's jade-colored wrist.
Tighten, then loosen.
The mullioned door slowly closed.
Wei Cheng kicked out the four inhuman things with a sullen expression and watched them roll down the steps and lay on the ground like rotten flesh.
The hands with smooth lines and distinct joints were stained with dots of blood.
"Where is the busiest place in Anyi?" He wiped his hands on the wet handkerchief Wei Ning handed over and asked without raising his head.
The tone was calm, as if he was chatting with a noble man, looking for a good place to have fun.
The county lieutenant has been frightened by this battle. Even the most serious suspect must be imprisoned first, arraigned according to the procedures, convicted and then sentenced. Such a deadly move was carried out before he was convicted...
It's really against the rules.
Too cruel.
"What?" Wei Cheng raised his eyes and stared at him, "Can't you answer? Are all the people under Feng Kui as hungry as you? You don't know about the people with unknown origins who sneaked into the city?"
The county captain is as big as a bucket: "Yes, yes, it is in the west of the city. There are many vendors and stalls there, especially during festivals, and there are various temple fairs and various performances there..."
"Hang people up."
He threw the veil onto the table aside.
"Let everyone watch."
The city of Anyi was in chaos. Officers and soldiers went from house to house to check household registrations and documents. He was riding a horse and stood in the middle of the chaotic street.
My heart suddenly felt at a loss.
She was here, perhaps, still among these bustling ants, looking at him coldly and disdainfully.
It is as vague as a grain of sand in Dunhuang, Liangzhou. When the wind blows, it flies far away.
This feeling of emptiness that he couldn't hold tightly in his hands made him feel extremely unhappy. A feeling of depression lingered in his heart. He exhaled a breath and tightened the reins in his hands.
He passed by some of her favorite places where she set up stalls and paused.
In front of the temple and at the intersection, there is not even a roof to protect you from the wind and rain.
The wind blows and the sun shines, and people shout on the street.
He felt faintly angry.
After checking the empty two-story building, he stepped up the narrow and old stairs step by step. With each step, the decaying stairs made a "creep" sound.
Every sound pierced his heart.
The second floor was even more cramped than the first floor. He couldn't even stand up straight at first. If he stood a little straighter, his forehead would touch the beam.
The window faces west and faces the street. In summer, the west sun is extremely hot.
She lived in such a steamer-like house for more than four months.
He was shaking with rage.
Eating cooking cakes and drinking cold water, and huddled in a birdcage-like room with the maids, they didn't want to come back to him.
He was sitting on a wooden couch that had been in disrepair for a long time, his expression extremely gloomy.
"Stubborn." A few words popped out between clenched teeth.
"As expected of a member of the Wang family, he is somewhat noble and upright."
The man smiled coldly.
"You have to fight with me even if you eat chaoyancai."
"I want to see where I can run."
The world is so big that it cannot be the king's land.
Do you really think he doesn't dare to look for her outside of Youzhou?
At worst, he beat them down one by one.
Where else could she run.
