"Sir, how are you sure Mrs. Lu is definitely at Shiliting in Qingshui Township?" Lou Xiaowan asked curiously.

"Didn't she say that she asked the neighbor who borrowed rice to kill Mrs. Lu Youqi? Then the real Qu Meifang will definitely not be too far away."

Li Huai should have thought a long time ago that in order to play the real song Meifang well, she must watch and imitate the fake song Meifang all the time.

If the distance was too far, she would have to run in both directions frequently. In this winter, if she wandered around every day, her fellow villagers would be suspicious.

Again.

It is impossible for Zhenqu Meifang to be in the city. There are too many people in the city. If anyone recognizes Zhenqu Meifang, then all their efforts will be wasted.

besides.

In order to make Lu Youji feel at ease, they couldn't completely hide Qu Meifang. They had to let Lu Youji know that Qu Meifang was still alive, so that Lu Youji would listen to them.

Although these doubts cannot completely prove that the real song Meifang is in Shiliting, Qingshui Township, all the doubts can be connected together.

Probability-wise, it’s almost a close call!

Bang!

Li Huai rushed to the next door and kicked open the door.

Whoosh!

A cold arrow came towards me.

"careful!"

At the same time as Lou Xiaowan reminded him, Li Huai grabbed the arrow and looked up, he saw that the arrow was fired from a mechanism on the wall.

It was just a single room with walls on all sides and no one in it. It seemed like I had found the wrong place.

Li Huai did not believe in evil and ordered: "Look for it quickly, there must be a secret passage!"

Sui Suiyi rushed in on horseback and smashed the wall with his knife. When he hit the corner of the wall, there was indeed a hollow sound.

There is no need for Li Huai to give orders.

boom!

They used the most violent method to break open the door and wall.

"Sir, there is a secret passage here."

"I'll go in first!"

I followed Yiqi and went in first to check, fearing that there was a trap inside.

soon.

Those who enter come out.

"Sir, this secret passage leads to the back mountain."

"Chase!"

Li Huai dived in immediately. The secret passage was not long, about seven or eight meters at most, and it was just right to get through the cliff behind.

"Don't move!"

Li Huai raised his hand to stop everyone and walked out of the secret passage. In front of them, there were messy footprints leading in several directions.

It seems that this step was done deliberately, just to prevent being tracked. Time waits for no one. If it is too late, Zhenqu Meifang may be in danger!

Li Huai looked around and pointed in a direction, "This way!"

Not that far.

Those messy footprints all merged under a poplar tree, and the direction of their pursuit seemed to be correct.

"Sir, we made the right bet!" Lou Xiaowan said excitedly, this is such good luck.

Li Huai smiled and said, "This is not a gamble. It's freezing and snowy. If they wanted to lock Qu Meifang out, she would have frozen to death. This is the only mountain that can hide people. How can the goal be unclear?"

"Young Master is so awesome!" Lou Xiaowan flattered him at the right time.

"It shouldn't be far away, everyone is ready to fight."

"As you command!"

Li Huai put away his horse-killing sword, replaced it with a dragon tooth bow, and placed the arrows on the bowstring in advance.

He touched it quietly.

soon.

They came to a cave dwelling.

There are still sounds inside.

"What do you want to do? My husband is the governor of Jiuyuan County. If you kill me, he will not let you go."

"Lu Youqi can't even protect himself, so how can he take care of you? Madam Taishou, just accept your fate."

"It's a pity that I don't have enough time. Otherwise, I really want to try it out. What is it like to be a prefect's wife? How is it different from ordinary women."

"Don't waste time, kill her and leave immediately. The money we earn will be enough for us to live happily for the rest of our lives."

"Mrs. Prefect, I'm sorry. We also took people's money and acted arrogantly on their behalf. You've made a fool of yourself, but don't come to our brothers."

"Help!"

Just when the butcher's knife is about to fall.

Li Huai rushed forward fiercely, stretched his bow and fired an arrow. The huge force knocked the sword away.

"Who?!"

They just turned around.

Li Huai shot three arrows, and at the same time his feet erupted. He rushed into the cave in an instant, swept the dragon tooth bow, and the blade on the bow flashed a cold light.

"kill!"

The followers of Yiqi rushed in with swords raised. Four corpses fell down neatly, three people had arrows pierced through their chests, and one person had his neck cut off.

A break from loneliness!

Your Majesty is too fast!

"Are you Mrs. Lu Taishou, Qu Meifang?" Li Huai looked at the panicked woman in the cave and asked.

The figure and appearance are better than the fake one, especially the eyes. The fake eyes are like a rainy day, while the real eyes are like a rainstorm at this time, but after the rainstorm, it will definitely clear up and the sunshine will be released again.

"Do you know where Lu Youqi hid his private money?" Li Huai still wanted to make sure, he was really scared.

These people have so many bad intentions.

He had to guard against it.

Qu Meifang's pupils gradually began to shine, and she finally regained some energy, "Lao Lu, do you have any private money?"

Shh!

Li Huai breathed a sigh of relief, "That's right, sister-in-law, I have found you."

It’s time for Jiuyuan to see the light of day again.

As long as he brings Qu Meifang back to Jiuyuan City, everything hidden in the darkness will be revealed to the public.

But... Qu Meifang was really frightened. Let alone taking her away now, she couldn't even stand up.

Li Huai asked Xiaowan to comfort her, and then took her back to Jiuyuan City after she recovered a little.

When leaving the village.

Passing by the door of Na Qi Hanzi's house, Qi Hanzi put his hands in his sleeves and watched eagerly as Li Huai came and then passed.

There was a bit more disappointment in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, you really don't know people!"

immediately.

Bang!

The follower Yi Qi threw a basket of rice, a basket of meat, a basket of vegetables, and a piece of cloth in his yard.

They were all plundered from Meifang's home.

"You are a scholar. You will freeze and starve yourself to death by reading. You are simply a waste. I don't need waste!"

"Don't stare so wide. These words were not said by us, but by our young master. Let us tell you the exact words. These are also given to you by the young master."

Finished.

The follower Yi Qi did not wait for his reaction and left directly, catching up with Li Huai's team and returning to Jiuyuan City.

Not long.

When they returned to Jiuyuan City, the streets were clean, there was no traffic, and everything seemed normal.

It's just... too quiet.
