Xiao Chengyi sat at the table and read the letter Yan Yan wrote to him again.
They have not been separated since they came back from southern Xinjiang. Now Yan Yan is homeless because of his fault. I wonder if she will be afraid?
That girl was very coquettish and she liked to be held by him when riding in the carriage.
It's a thousand miles away from Mobei, and he's not by her side and he doesn't know if she can adapt?
Thinking of this, Xiao Chengyi felt a little confused, but he also knew that if he took the risk to save him, there was no chance of winning. Dogs would jump over the wall when they were anxious, let alone humans.
Xiao Chengyi was a little lost in thought.
Ye Xiuchen poured him a cup of tea and said, "If you go to Mobei, you will definitely pass through Changzhou. If you notify Wang Zefang and ask him to intercept her in Changzhou, you may be able to rescue your sister-in-law."
Xiao Chengyi put away the letter in his hand and said in a calm voice: "Hu Yanqiu must have known Wang Zefang since she has been in the capital for three years. Do you think she would be stupid enough to throw herself into a trap?"
Ye Xiuchen asked: "What do you mean?"
Xiao Chengyi said: "To cross Mobei, maybe Changzhou is not the only way.
The main road from Changzhou to Mobei is heavily guarded along the way, so it is impossible for Hu Yanqiu to bravely break through, she must have some other way to get back to Mobei."
Before coming, he looked at the topographic map of the northern border several times. There were strange mountains and ridges in Changzhou, and beyond that was the desert of Mobei.
It is impossible for Hu Yanqiu to take Yan Yan and Yuan Jiahe to risk going over the mountain. She must know a secret road that can ensure that they can return to Mobei safely.
Ye Xiuchen frowned when he heard what he said. Once Hu Yanqiu was allowed to return to Mobei, they would really have no choice.
He looked at Xiao Chengyi and said: "Why don't we chase them and stop them before they enter Mobei? We have to give them a try anyway."
Xiao Chengyi said: "I'm afraid that I won't be able to catch up. They have a caravan. I'm afraid this caravan is not a cover-up. In the past few years, they are probably familiar with the road to Mobei."
There is not only one way to connect various cities in Beichen.
Those who don't understand the local terrain must be taking the official road, just like them.
But who can say that there is no shortcut possible? It’s just that they don’t know how to take the shortcut.
Ye Xiuchen couldn't help feeling a little frustrated when he heard what he said. It was true that Beichen was a vast land with abundant resources, and it was impossible for them to understand every road so clearly.
He sighed silently and said nothing more. At this time, a servant came in with food.
Jiang Ru hurriedly said: "Let's eat first. Saving people is important, but taking care of yourself is more important."
Xiao Chengyi nodded and said: "Eat, take a good rest and have to go on the road tomorrow."
As he said that, he looked at Feng Changling who was silent on the side, then used his chopsticks to pick up some food for him and put it in the bowl in front of him.
Feng Changling picked up his chopsticks and took a few bites. He had become taciturn since leaving the capital, and he didn't say a few words along the way.
Xiao Chengyi was very worried about his situation.
After finishing the meal, everyone went back to bathe and change clothes. It was already dark by this time.
Feng Changling was not sleepy. He stood in front of the window and looked at the bright moon in the sky, hanging on the sycamore tree in the yard.
He thought of Qiu Wu again. Her eyes were pure and clear when he first met her, but it was those eyes that deceived him.
He prides himself on knowing a lot of people, but he doesn't expect that there are times when he makes mistakes.
Feng Changling closed his eyes and heard a knock on the door from outside. Then the door was opened and Xiao Chengyi strode in.
Feng Changling calmed down and looked back at him and asked, "Why are you here?"
Xiao Chengyi raised the wine jar in his hand and said, "I know you're not asleep yet, come on, come and have a drink with me."
