Hand over the jade seal first [Infrastructure]

The captain outside didn't hear clearly at first, so he leaned over and asked, "Your Highness?"

He leaned over and just blocked the car window, Xiao Xuexing frowned and said: "Let go, stop!"

Although the captain didn't know what happened, he rarely saw such a slightly anxious expression on Xiao Xuexing's body, but it must have something to do with the missing King Xuancheng.

He immediately went to the front to prevent the team from stopping, but Xiao Xuexing jumped out of the ox cart before it stopped. As a result, when he jumped off, the people next to him subconsciously looked at the nobleman on the cart, even After seeing Xiao Xuexing's face, some young ladies subconsciously took two steps forward, forcibly blocking Xiao Xuexing's sight.

The captain hurried over to drive the people away, but after only a short while, Xiao Xuexing couldn't find that figure, and the young man was no longer seen among the crowd passing by, just like a flower in a mirror, only the moon in the water remained. Got a glimpse.

Xiao Xuexing frowned tightly. An ordinary person might think that he was wrong, but he is very confident in his eyesight and memory, so he must be right. What's more, the boy is still wearing a mask. Presumably he doesn't want to let people See yourself for who you really are.

But how can ordinary people hide their faces?

The captain over there ran back sweating profusely and said, "Your Highness, it's windy outside..."

Xiao Xuexing waved his hand: "It's nothing, you send someone to look for a few people, one is a young man in an apricot-colored shirt with a bamboo mask on his face, and behind him are two ladies, one wearing a mask and the other They are tall and tall, and they are leading two vacant donkey carts behind them, so if you find them, you must report them as soon as possible, so that they can be accommodated."

With just a glance, Xiao Xuexing had already remembered Xiao Zirong's surroundings very clearly, and the captain didn't think it was strange, his highness was just like this, talented, with a photographic memory, and had a child prodigy since childhood say.

The captain is not careful enough, but one good thing is that he is very obedient. Xiao Xuexing ordered him to send someone to search without asking any questions.

But Xiao Xuexing stood where he was and took another look at the crowd, making sure that the young man was nowhere to be seen, and then he got into the car with a sense of regret.

He can't stay here for too long, otherwise he won't be able to enter the city before dark, and then he can only sleep in the wild. Although he doesn't think there is anything wrong, he feels sorry for his soldiers, not to mention that even if he stays, he can't help find people himself. It may attract all eyes.

After Xiao Xuexing got into the car, he closed his eyes and recalled the moment just now. Everyone thought he had a photographic memory, but only he knew that he didn't just have a photographic memory. Recalling some of the scenes, it was as if he had experienced it himself again, and some details in it still existed for him to check carefully.

The scene just now appeared in Xiao Xuexing's mind, but this time every movement became very slow, enough for him to look carefully.

But no matter how slow it was, it took only a few breaths. He saw the young man look up, the bamboo mask only covered half of the opponent's face, and the other half of his face revealed fair skin and delicate silhouette.

Xiao Xuexing focused on that half of the face. Compared with Xiao Zirong in his impression, the flesh on this half of the face is slightly less, but the outline of the bones is almost the same, at most it is slightly longer .

Xiao Xuexing opened his eyes, took out a pen and paper to draw half of his face, and then pulled out another scroll, on which was the portrait of Xiao Zirong.

If Xiao Zirong saw this portrait, he might have to be more careful. He always thought that the portraits in this world were not very good. Even if he held the picture on the arrest warrant in front of him, he might not be able to see that it was a person. .

However, the copy in Xiao Xuexing's hand can be said to be lifelike, but it is slightly different because the technique is not realistic, but it is enough for people to recognize.

It's a pity that there are not many people in this world who can have this skill of painting, let alone send it down to the grassroots.

After careful comparison, Xiao Xuexing frowned, and he was almost certain that the boy who just passed by was Xiao Zirong.

The surprised look of the other party should also recognize him, but since he recognized him, why didn't he come to recognize him?

Can't or... don't want to?

Xiao Xuexing thought of the two very distinctive but strange little ladies following him, and thought for a while that every time he got news of Xiao Zirong, he would always be accompanied by a different little lady, which was really abnormal, and then thought of Those little ladies all looked very distinctive, and then they bought a lot of little ladies. He almost had a bold idea——Xiao Zirong was trapped by those little ladies.

After the bandit village was burned, I learned from the little ladies who left that those who left might be going to settle somewhere. Those people have no relatives and can only rely on themselves. Holding a group is a way to survive. Chinese way.

But the ones who survived were all women, except for Xiao Zirong. If these women want to survive, they may not be able to survive on their own. They still need a man to come forward. With a man, many things will be much easier.

Xiao Xuexing almost subconsciously ruled out the option that Xiao Zirong didn't want to come back, because it didn't make sense.

He even recalled the clothes on Xiao Zirong just now, they were just the most common linen clothes, not only that, but also very clean, without any accessories on his body, plus the whole person lost a lot of weight, Xiao Xuexing almost It is the first time you can judge that the other party is not doing well.

And as long as he comes back, he can live a life of luxury, why doesn't he come back?

But it’s okay, I finally found specific clues this time. Those little ladies must have settled near here. Maybe they integrated into a certain village or built a village by themselves. No matter what, they will definitely leave clues. He should Xiao Zirong will be found soon.

Thinking of this, the corners of Xiao Xuexing's lips rose slightly, finally living up to the hard work.

However, his smile didn't last long, and soon someone came back and said: "Your Highness, I haven't found those three people. I just asked people who came and went. They did see these three people, but they didn't pay attention to them." their whereabouts."

Xiao Xuexing frowned slightly after hearing this: "I can't find it? How could I not find it?"

His subordinates will not neglect their duties, they must have searched hard, and their ability to find people is first-class, even if they can't find them, no matter how many people they send, it won't help.

But it was a bit strange for those three people to disappear so inexplicably.

The captain said helplessly: "When we went to search, we happened to encounter two groups of people who started to fight and blocked us. Your Highness, do you want to send people to search in the surrounding forest?"

Just now they were all looking for it beside the official road. After all, it only took a few words before and after. Everyone subconsciously thought that they would be able to find it if they followed the direction they were walking, but who knew that they couldn't find it?

Xiao Xuexing agreed to the captain's proposal but still warned: "Let the people below be careful, the forest is full of poisonous insects at this time, so don't cause any accidents."

The captain showed a slightly silly smile and said, "Don't worry, nothing will happen."

The captain gave orders immediately, and Xiao Xuexing continued to march towards the state capital unhurriedly.

After arriving at the state capital, Xiao Xuexing still held the reception banquet on the grounds of his unwellness. Firstly, he was too lazy to socialize, and secondly, because the dishes at the reception banquet were generally greasy and difficult to digest, which was not suitable for him to eat now.

Xiao Xuexing was doing business in the state capital while waiting for news, and the people who were sent out quickly replied that they had found the cart that the three men were leading before, but the man and the mule still disappeared without a trace.

However, judging from where the two cars were parked, the three of them had indeed entered the forest. No wonder no one could tell where they were going.

Xiao Xuexing's subordinates did go into the forest, but they still couldn't find anyone, because the traces of those people all pointed to a Zhuangzi in the mountains, and that Zhuangzi belonged to the governor of Nanyanzhou.

The governor of Yizhou is also a great official of the frontier, even if he is under the command of the regent, he can't just copy someone else's Zhuangzi to find someone.

After hearing this, Xiao Xuexing found it strange, because the governor of Southern Yanzhou had no reason to hide Xiao Zirong's traces. unfavorable.

If the other party really got the whereabouts of Xiao Zirong, he would definitely report it as soon as possible.

He asked people to carefully check the situation of the personnel in the governor's house in Yanzhou, South Yanzhou. After all, there was another middle school where Xiao Zirong might have been forced to enter the governor's mansion with his anonymity.

However, the history of the governor of Nanyanzhou was not extravagant, and the flow of personnel in his family was also very simple. In the past few months, almost no one left or entered the house. As for the tall little lady, even if the governor Even rough maids are not so careless, at most they are ordinary people, and those who challenge the current aesthetics are definitely not wanted.

The clue seemed to be broken again here, but Xiao Xuexing suddenly smiled with all the information.

When the captain saw his smile, he was terrified. Generally, his highness would show such a cold smile when he wanted to kill people without a trace. In the past, when he saw such a smile, he knew that he should prepare to sharpen his knife. However, this Once... After struggling for a long time, he decided to persuade his highness.

So he swallowed his saliva to strengthen himself and said: "Your Highness, the governor did not make a big mistake, you... just let him go."

Xiao Xuexing glanced at him and said, "Who said I'm going to attack him?"

After hearing this, the captain breathed a sigh of relief. Although he was a bit more honest, he was certainly not stupid to be by Xiao Xuexing's side. He knew very well that even if his highness wanted to kill the governor of Yizhou, he would have to spend some effort. It's not impossible, but you need to consider all aspects.

The imperial doctor had said before that His Royal Highness should worry as little as possible, so he has been paying attention to this aspect recently. He would remind His Royal Highness twice to correct the documents for a while, which is really heartbreaking.

Xiao Xue put the documents in his hand on the case table, and he memorized them all in his mind just by flipping through them. At this time, the smile on his face still looked a little cold, and he said casually: "Ling Fu, The opponent has masters."
