Chapter 158 2 flowers bloom
The old grandmother was in a dilemma and hesitated to speak. Wang Jindong interrupted the indecisive old woman:
"We have to leave immediately and not be discovered by anyone, otherwise it will be bad for your reputation! You also have to pretend that the girl is lost. Now you have to make a decision quickly."
Wang Jinlai interrupted Wang Jindong's impatient tone:
"Please make your decision as soon as possible! We will wait for you outside the door. It is best to ask for a clear path in the tribe. Make your decision before anyone from the tribe comes to check."
Wang Jinlai looked at Wen Xiao, who had a childish face and pursed lips, and said:
"You should go to the tribe first and tell them that bandits are coming and your two sisters are missing. You should make it seem like it's real."
After listening to this, Wen Xiao nodded deeply, and then went to find someone. Wang Jinlai and the other person left the main hall. Wen Jinshu took the two girls to fetch water, put it on the steps, and placed the soap nuts and cloth towels.
Without much politeness, the two of them quickly washed and dressed themselves. Wang Jinlai took advantage of the moonlight and pretended to glance at Wen Jinshu unintentionally. Wen Jinshu was slightly taller than Wang Jinlai, with a well-proportioned but thin figure. His facial features were not clearly visible in the dark, but his contours were soft and beautiful.
A decision was finally made in the room, and the two girls were already waiting for them with small packages.
Wang Jin came into the house and said goodbye briefly. When he was about to leave, Wen's grandmother asked the question that had been hidden in her heart:
"Is Wenbai okay?"
Wang Jinlai turned back to his room and answered respectfully:
"He is doing well, healthy and safe. He can read and study every day, work and go out. He is lucky to have met someone who appreciates him. I am afraid he will be even better in the future!"
This was Wang Jinlai's guess. Judging from what Wen Bai had done for the young lady during this period, and the fact that the young lady specially sent himself and Wang Jindong to visit the Wen family, it showed that the young lady valued Wen Bai!
I'm afraid that Wenbai will continue to work under the young lady in the future.
After hearing the answer, the old grandmother showed a rare look of relief and a smile appeared on her old face.
Grandmother took out a handkerchief from her lapel.
"Give this handkerchief to Wenbai! This is something his sister embroidered. Leave it to him as a keepsake! This is the only thing I brought from home..."
The old man lowered his head and remained silent. Wang Jin came to comfort him:
"Don't be too sad. Maybe one day Wenbai will come to see you. Take care. I'm leaving with my friends."
After saying that, Wang Jinlai turned around and left. Wen Xiao stood by the door and asked:
"Big brother, are you still coming?"
Wang Jinlai smiled and patted Wen Xiao on the shoulder, saying like an adult:
"Grow up well, there are good people in the world, but you have to work hard to make them see you!"
Wen Xiao listened to this abrupt remark and nodded firmly. Wang Jinlai stepped out of the door and reminded him again:
"You have to pretend like you're missing, otherwise it's easy to get into trouble!"
"Don't worry, we understand and we can arrange it."
Wang Jinlai led his men towards the west of the village.
The girls inside the door had been silent since they decided to let the two youngest girls follow. Now, watching the two sisters disappear under the moonlight before dawn, everyone was silent and just stood in the yard in a daze.
Not to mention how Wen Jinshu arranged for her sisters after Wang Jinlai took his men away, how she panicked and went to the clan to report the news, and how she searched the entire village for her two lost sisters.
Wang Jinlai and his party rode at full speed and arrived at Xunnan County just after noon that day. Two dusty mules and two thin and handsome boys were waiting outside the city gate, holding the packages in their hands.
"Butler Wang, return the mule. I'll rent a carriage. Wang Jindong will take care of them."
The three of them divided the work and cooperated with each other, and at 9 p.m., a carriage carrying a group of people left Xunnan County and headed towards Xunyang Prefecture.
Six days later, the exhausted people finally entered the territory under the jurisdiction of Xunyang Prefecture.
The two girls listened to the conversation of the three people along the way and gradually felt relieved. They were going to Xunyang City. They were more certain that their eldest brother Wenbai was in Xunyang City.
The few of them parked the carriage near a village. Wang Jinlai settled the bill with the driver, found a secluded roadside, and discussed what to do.
It was finally decided that Wang Ping'an and Wang Jinlai would return home first to report the situation to their two masters respectively. Following the masters' instructions, Wang Jindong would stay and continue to take care of the two girls.
After a simple settlement, everyone proceeded according to their plans.
Wang Jinyi has been worried about the safety of the two teams these days, counting the days and looking forward to their return with news.
Of course, Wang Jinyi never expected that he would encounter bandits on his way to visit the Wen family. Fortunately, he made careful plans and arrangements before leaving, especially using the right people.
Wang Jinyi was worried about another passerby, mainly Wu Mei's safety. Ever since she received the letter from Wu Da and Wu Er last time, saying that Feng Jie had marked along the way, Wang Jinyi had bad guesses about her!
The people who were going to Shangjing had not written back as agreed, and Wang Jinyi always thought of conspiracy theories. But then she thought, according to the time, they should have arrived in Shangjing by now.
Then he comforted himself, thinking that it might be because the journey was too far and it was inconvenient to send a message, or he might be unable to send news back from Shangjing.
So I waited patiently.
In fact, the letter had been taken away at the post station long ago. Ever since the text message that Wang Jinyi had inserted in "The Record of Grudges" was discovered by the guards of the Eastern Palace, the letter from Wu Mei's brother had been hijacked. Fortunately, Wu Da and Wu Er only wrote in the letter that Feng Jie was suspicious, and no matter how powerful her Qinggong was, they could not find any flaws in Feng Jie.
In fact, along the way, Wu Da and Wu Er discovered that Sister Feng was very persistent in leaving marks, but they could not see her contacting anyone.
In fact, it's not that she couldn't see him, but she couldn't follow him at all. Even if Fengjie didn't fight back, she could just stand under the tree and fly over the treetops, jump out from the second floor of the inn and land on the ground with almost no sound. She didn't even need to climb over the ordinary courtyard wall and could fly over it.
With such skills, the two of them couldn't even touch the corner of the person's clothes, let alone follow him!
Along the way, Wu Da and Wu Er were not protecting their sister's safety, but were simply watching a live performance. The kung fu that came and went so elusively made them feel both magical and terrifying.
Compared to other people's kung fu, I am just useless.
But Wang Jinyi knew nothing about this. She simply trusted Wu Da and Wu Er and knew they would protect her sister seriously, so Wang Jinyi was quite calm.
Besides, the royal guards who followed the Cao family's carriage into Shangjing City were divided into four groups of twenty people. Some watched the goods, some followed the people, and some waited for rest. The captain of Team C returned to the East Palace to report as soon as possible and personally handed over the letters from Mr. Wei and Master Ouyang to the prince.
