Chapter 70 Whereabouts Unknown(2/2)
"What's wrong with you?"
Hongying didn't answer and turned around to leave. Meng Ying shouted anxiously: "Hongying, Hongying..."
"Girl, girl, wake up!" Zhuzi heard the voice and came in to shake her awake.
It turned out to be Nan Ke Yimeng.
Meng Ying thought about it for a long time, and couldn't bear it anymore, so she told Zhuzi about her dream. Zhuzi comforted her and said, "The dream is reversed. It must be because the girl misses her too much."
But she was still uneasy. Hongying and she had been dependent on each other for four years, life and death. If she had any shortcomings, how could she face Lin Xiao.
So he told Zhu Zhu, "Tell the boatman that we will get off the boat at the next stop."
Seeing that his master had made up his mind, Zhuzi did not dare to delay.
Three days later, the ship docked at Linqing, and the master and servant got off the ship.
However, there were fewer ships returning to the capital than those leaving the capital. Meng Ying felt anxious and walked around the inn all day long.
He also told Zhu Zhu, "If we encounter a return ship, no matter how much the ship fare is, we must let the boatman take us a ride."
Zhu Zhu waited hard at the dock for three days, and finally on this day, a ship arrived.
There were many people on the boat, and Meng Ying was afraid that people would be suspicious if they saw their large luggage, so she changed into indigo cloth, called Zhu Zhu brother and sister, and lied that she came from Jiangnan to visit her relatives.
The boss of the boat was kind-hearted and took special care of them. However, there was a favorable wind when we arrived, but it was a headwind when we returned, so the boat moved slowly.
Fortunately, there was no danger, and we finally arrived in the capital half a month later. After careful calculation, we found that a month had passed.
It was hot summer when they left, and it was almost autumn now. Because they didn't know the situation in the capital, they didn't dare to go back to Meng's house directly, and only found an inn to stay.
At night, Zhuzhu was sent to find out where Hongying was.
Meng Ying waited anxiously at the inn, and half an hour later Zhu Zhu came back.
"How's it going? Hongying is at home?"
Zhuzi said with a mournful face, "Uncle Zhong said that Hongying has never gone back since that day when she came out with us."
Meng Ying sat down on the chair, "Could it be that she went to Jiangnan?"
"I went to shopkeeper Sun, and he said he didn't see Hongying and didn't buy a boat ticket for her..." Zhuzi lowered his head. He naively thought that under the panic of the emperor, everything was clear and everyone was still alive.
Will it be lost?
But no one would have thought that it would actually be lost.
Seeing Zhu Zhu squatting in the corner with a guilty look on her face, Meng Ying couldn't bear it and comforted her: "There is no good news now, but there is no bad news either. Hongying has been in the capital for four years and is a smart person. She should be fine tomorrow.
Let's go look for it again at dawn."
Zhuzi wiped his eyes and went down to rest.
Meng Ying had no sleep all night, and at dawn, she got up to wash up. She combed through all the places Hongying could go, and decided to start with Na Yong's house.
The master and the servant ate two steamed buns in a hurry and wanted to go to Yong's house. As soon as they left the store, a black linoleum carriage stopped beside them.
The car curtain was lifted, Meng Ying took a closer look and couldn't move away.
I saw a person sitting in the car, wearing a long black gown, a sword hanging on his waist, a long body, sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes. It turned out to be Tao Huansheng.
"Get in the car!" the person in the car said warmly.
Meng Ying hesitated for a moment, then lifted her legs and got into the car.
The carriage was not very spacious, and there was a tea table just between them, so they could hear each other's breathing.
Meng Ying was a little embarrassed and just put down her bold words, but who knows, they met again a month later.
"You look so bad, is it because you didn't sleep last night?" Tao Huansheng said in a calm tone, as if he didn't care about the tea house at all.
"Yes...no. Hongying's whereabouts are unknown, and I'm a little worried." Meng Ying lowered her head, her voice muffled.
"I'm here to pick you up and go see Hongying."
Meng Ying breathed a long sigh of relief, clasped her hands together and said, "Thank God, everything is safe at last."
Tao Huansheng looked at the person in front of him, and his vision was a little blurry. He hadn't seen him for only a month, but for him, one day was like three autumns, and one night was like half a summer. It felt as if he had lived another life.
I wanted to find an opportunity to file a leave of absence with the emperor and catch that cruel girl back, but I didn't expect that she came back.
