We agreed that you, a weak strategist, would fight against three heroes by yourself?

Xi Yu walked into Ouyang Linlin's room with heavy steps, his face full of guilt, and whispered: "Linlin, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have sent Xiaohong out yesterday, and I neglected it today."

Ouyang Linlin frowned, her eyes full of worry.

"Xiaohong hasn't come back. Has something really happened to her? According to her temperament, if she has returned home, she will definitely come to me as soon as possible."

Xi Yu gently held Ouyang Linlin's trembling hand, trying to convey a touch of warmth and strength, and comforted him: "Linlin, don't panic. Xiaohong has always been smart, maybe she was just delayed by something. Let's go again Wait, maybe she will come back soon."

Ouyang Linlin raised her eyes to look at Xi Yu, tears glistening in her eyes.

"I always have a bad feeling in my heart. Xiaohong has never heard anything from her."

Xi Yu took Ouyang Linlin into his arms, rested his chin on the top of her head, and said softly: "I have sent people to search everywhere, and we will be notified as soon as there is news. Before that, you have to cheer up and don't put yourself at risk. The body is exhausted."

Ouyang Linlin nodded silently in Xi Yu's arms, but the uneasy mood still followed her. The room was filled with a depressing and dull atmosphere. The two of them could only silently pray for Xiaohong's safe return while waiting.

After a while, Xi Yu was anxious, and there was a hint of doubt in his words: "I'll go out and look for it myself." After saying that, he strode towards the door.

As soon as they arrived at the gate, they saw two girls running towards them with panicked expressions. They were running so fast that they almost lost their balance in saluting.

One of the girls spoke hurriedly.

"Prime Minister Qi, we have gone to Divine Doctor Song to inquire carefully. Divine Doctor Song insisted that there was no trace of Miss Xiao Hong at all last night."

Xi Yu's face instantly turned pale, and his heart felt like he had been hit hard.

How could Xiao Hong disappear without warning and without any trace?

This is so unreasonable.

He stood there, his mind in chaos, with all kinds of terrible thoughts coming to him.

Could it be that something dangerous happened to Xiao Hong? But who did it? And why do you want to attack Xiaohong? Countless questions were twisting in his mind, and they kept getting confused.

But at this moment, he knew clearly that he must find Xiaohong as soon as possible, even if there was only a glimmer of hope.

So, he took a deep breath, suppressed the uneasiness and fear in his heart, and resolutely stepped into the unknown road of search. His figure gradually disappeared from everyone's sight, leaving only the dust flying along the way, which seemed to be telling a story. This anxiety and worry.

Xi Yu hurriedly walked towards where Song Shuwen was.

Song Shuwen stood quietly in the courtyard. When he saw Xi Yu coming, he hurriedly saluted and said, "Prime Minister, Xiao Hong has not come to my place. Several girls have come to inquire before."

Xi Yu's face was solemn and worried, and his heart was full of confusion and anxiety.

Xi Yu was filled with anxiety when he thought about how Ouyang Linlin, who was already worried about her child, could bear the news of Xiao Hong's disappearance.

He suddenly felt as if the sky was falling and the earth was falling. He was filled with self-blame and said regretfully: "It's all my fault. You shouldn't have been allowed to open this medical clinic. Otherwise, you would still be living in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Xiaohong." There is no need to go out to look for people, let alone disappear like this. "

Seeing Xi Yu blaming himself, Song Shuwen hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him: "Prime Minister, don't blame yourself like this. No one could have expected this. Xiao Hong's disappearance might just be a temporary accident. Let's try to find another way to find him." Just look for it, but don’t take it too seriously.”

However, Xi Yu's brows were still furrowed, the feeling of guilt lingering in his heart, which was difficult to dissipate for a long time. He just looked into the distance, silently thinking about where Xiaohong might go, and wanted to find her as soon as possible, so that this chaos would be over. Tuanma's situation can turn around.

Xi Yu sighed heavily, turned around and left Song Shuwen's office in a hurry.

After galloping all the way back home, he walked straight to Ouyang Linlin's room.

At this time, several girls had told Ouyang Linlin the news that Xiaohong had not been found. They saw her sitting on the couch, tears rolling down like broken beads, sobbing.

A little girl was beside him, softly comforting him.

"Mrs. Ouyang, please don't be too sad. What should you do if you get hurt?"

Xi Yu stepped into the door and saw this scene, his heart was even more painful.

He walked quickly to Ouyang Linlin and gently took her into his arms, but for a moment he didn't know how to comfort her. He just patted her back gently with his hands, trying to give her a little strength and support. The room was filled with The solemn atmosphere of sadness and worry is difficult to dissipate for a long time.

Xi Yu's brows were furrowed, his face was full of self-blame, and his voice was hoarse and low.

"It's all my fault for being negligent and allowing Song Shuwen to open a medical clinic. That's why Xiaohong had to go out. Now her whereabouts are unknown. It's my fault."

Ouyang Linlin had tears in her eyes. She bit her lower lip tightly, trying her best to contain the raging grief in her heart, and spoke slowly.

"This is not your fault alone. Don't blame yourself like this anymore."

Seeing this, the little girl on the side quickly comforted him softly.

"What Madam said is absolutely true. Miss Xiaohong is just missing now. There is no conclusive evidence that something unexpected happened. In my opinion, as long as we send more manpower to search for her, we may be able to get news."

Xiyu nodded slightly after listening to the little girl's words. He took a deep breath and tried to calm down.

"You are right. I immediately ordered all the servants and guards in the house to be dispatched and dispersed to various parts of the city to search carefully. Then someone wrote a notice describing Xiao Hong's appearance and clothing in detail, and posted it in the streets and alleys, paying a lot of money. Reward offered for information."

After saying that, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes, he turned around and left the room with a quick stride.

As the sky grew brighter, Wang Hu, escorted by several soldiers, boarded the slightly dilapidated carriage.

As a key figure in this exploration of the secret passage, because of his special status, he was tightly tied up with rough ropes to prevent accidents.

The soldiers looked grim, and one of them said angrily: "You'd better be honest. If you dare to tell lies, you will be left with nothing to eat!"

Wang Hu curled his lips and said nonchalantly: "Hmph! If you can't trust me, you can just let me go now. Why bother here chattering and annoying others!"

Before he finished speaking, a soldier with a hot temper opened his eyes angrily and slapped Wang Hu hard in the face, making a crisp sound.

"How dare you, a prisoner, talk back to me like this!"

Wang Hu's head was beaten to one side, and a red palm print instantly appeared on his face.

But he just sneered, with a trace of determination in his eyes.

"I no longer want this life. If you have the guts, just kill me here instead of suffering this cowardice!"

Seeing how stubborn he was, the soldiers felt angry in their hearts, but they did not dare to do anything to him.

After all, whether he can find the secret passage depends entirely on him.

The carriage moved forward slowly on the bumpy road, and the atmosphere in the carriage was as tense as a bowstring about to break, on the verge of breaking.

After a while, the sky that was still a little bright suddenly became gloomy, as if a heavy lead plate was pressing on the top of the head, making people breathless.

Wang Hu and the soldiers came to a wilderness at this time.

The strong wind roared past, making people unable to open their eyes. A soldier shouted at the top of his lungs: "It's going to rain today, find a place to hide quickly!"

The coachman heard this and hurriedly drove the carriage to look for it.

After galloping all the way, we finally saw a small village with a few sparsely scattered families.

The carriage stopped at the entrance of the village. A soldier jumped out of the car and ran towards the nearest house. He raised his hand and knocked hard on the slightly worn door.

The "dong dong dong" knock on the door was particularly abrupt in this quiet village.

After a while, the door creaked open, and an old man with gray hair poked his head out, his eyes filled with doubts and vigilance.

The soldiers hurriedly clasped their fists and saluted, explaining their status as officers and soldiers.

When the old man heard this, the vigilance on his face faded a bit. He quickly stepped aside and said enthusiastically: "It turns out to be the official. The weather is not good today. Come in quickly and don't get wet."

The soldiers thanked him profusely and escorted Wang Hu in. The originally cold courtyard suddenly became a little more lively.

Everyone rushed into the house, and the originally spacious house was instantly filled to the brim.

When the old man's eyes fell on Wang Hu, who was tied up with ropes, he couldn't help but frowned, and his heart was full of doubts.

The old man stepped forward, pointed at Wang Hu, looked at the soldiers, and asked cautiously: "Masters, why is this man tied up like this?"

A soldier waved his hand carelessly and replied nonchalantly: "Sir, don't worry about it. This guy is a criminal. He has committed something. We are escorting him on errands. You sir, just pretend you didn't see it." ”

When the old man heard this, he still had doubts in his heart, but when the soldier said this, he couldn't ask any more questions. He just looked at Wang Hu secretly, with a little curiosity and worry in his eyes.

I don’t know what the tied man did, and where these officers and soldiers are taking him.

The house fell into a brief silence, with only the sound of rain outside hitting the window lattice, as if curious about the various situations in the house.

However, after Wang Hu's eyes fell on the old man, he felt inexplicably friendly.

His eyes seemed to be glued, and he kept staring at the old man, with complex emotions gradually appearing in his eyes.

After a while, Wang Hu couldn't help but speak, with a hint of sigh in his voice.

"Uncle, you look so much like my dead uncle."

As soon as these words came out, everyone else in the room couldn't help but be stunned, and all looked at him.

The soldiers looked even more suspicious, thinking that Wang Hu was trying to play some tricks. The old man also looked surprised and was a little overwhelmed by the sudden words. He just stood there and talked with Wang Hu. They looked at each other, not knowing how to respond.

As Wang Hu spoke, his eyes were red, and tears burst out of his eyes uncontrollably. He choked and cried: "I really miss my dead uncle so much. Uncle, I miss you so much..."

When several soldiers saw this, they all looked surprised.

In their past impressions, Wang Hu was a domineering master who was fearless of heaven and earth. They had never seen him act like a child, crying so sadly and showing his true feelings.

Several soldiers looked at each other, and after looking at each other, one of the soldiers couldn't help but raise his finger and pointed at his head. The meaning was obvious, as if he was silently saying to his companions: "I'm afraid this Wang Hu is out of his mind." What's the problem? It's so abnormal." Then, the soldier winked at his companion, indicating that he would truthfully report Wang Hu's strange behavior to the prime minister when the matter was over.

We can't let this guy use this appearance to play some tricks and ruin their job.

The atmosphere in the house was a little subtle for a while. Only Wang Hu's cry was still echoing intermittently, and along with the patter of rain outside, there was an indescribable weirdness and desolation.

After a while, the heavy rain finally stopped, and a few wisps of light appeared in the sky.

A few people did not dare to delay and continued on their journey.

But at this time, Wang Hu seemed to have lost his soul, his eyes became dull and lifeless. No matter how the soldiers talked to him, he seemed not to hear them and sat there silently.

When an impatient soldier saw this, he frowned, raised his hand and patted Wang Hu on the back of the head, and shouted angrily: "Hey! I want to ask you, how long is the road to get there? Why are you acting like a dull gourd and not saying anything for a long time?"

Wang Hu was struck by this, and slowly turned his head. A fierce look flashed in his eyes, and he glared at the soldier fiercely, which made the soldier's heart skip a beat, and he subconsciously took a step back.

Then, Wang Hu turned his gaze to the high sky again, his face full of resentment and unwillingness, and he cursed loudly at God: "Oh God, you are so cruel, for letting me end up in this situation, if I If I get a chance, I must ask you for an explanation so that you can experience this unlucky feeling!"

His commotion caused the soldiers around him to freeze on the spot and look at each other in confusion. They felt more and more that Wang Hu might be crazy. But at this moment, he had important matters to attend to, so they could only bite the bullet and continue on their way. , just hoping to reach the destination as soon as possible so that this troublesome guy can be dealt with.

Wang Hu completely ignored his image and continued to curse at God. The obscene words kept coming like a raging tide. He looked like a slutty shrew.

A soldier looked frightened and quickly stopped him: "Don't disrespect God anymore, you will be punished by God!"

But Wang Hu just stared at him fiercely, with the flames of anger and despair burning in his eyes, and shouted viciously: "I am living like a human being and a ghost now, so what if I curse a few times? If you have the ability, let God strike. If you come down and chop me, it will be better than this life that is worse than death!"

The veins on his neck popped out, and his face was full of arrogance and unruliness, as if he wanted to use this curse to vent all the anger and grievances in his heart.

The soldiers were frightened by his crazy appearance and kept distance from him, watching his every move with vigilance, for fear that he would suddenly burst out and hurt someone.

But Wang Hu still raised his head and cursed the sky, his voice echoing in the empty wilderness, revealing endless desolation and sadness.

The hot-tempered soldier was so angry at Wang Hu's mischievous look that he clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, wanting to rush up and beat him hard so that he could shut up his cursing mouth.

But at this moment, another relatively calm soldier beside him hurriedly reached out and pulled the corner of his clothes, shook his head slightly, and gestured to him with his eyes.

The look in his eyes seemed to say: "Don't be impulsive. This guy is acting like a lunatic right now. We don't have to be as knowledgeable as him. If we do take action, what if something goes wrong and delays our business of finding the secret passage?" That would be bad."

The soldier whose clothes were pulled was stunned for a moment, took a deep breath, and slowly loosened his clenched fists. Although his face was still full of anger, he still suppressed the anger in his heart, and after giving Wang Hu a fierce look, She turned her head and stopped looking at him, and just muttered in a low voice: "Humph, when we finish the work, let's see how to clean up this reckless thing like you!"

As for Wang Hu, he was still cursing at God regardless. His arrogant and crazy look made the atmosphere along the way even more depressing and weird.

A sneer appeared at the corner of Wang Hu's lips, and he shouted loudly: "If you have the guts, just beat me to death! If you provoke me like this again and annoy me, I will never take you to find the secret passage again. Anyway, I am There’s nothing left to cherish about this life, and the worst is possible!”

The soldier who was about to take action earlier glared at him fiercely, but suppressed his anger and just cursed secretly in his heart.

The other soldiers looked at each other in confusion. In desperation, they could only swallow their bad breath for the time being, and the team continued to move forward slowly in a dull and depressing atmosphere.

The scenery on both sides of the road continued to recede, but everyone's hearts were cast in a thick layer of haze because of Wang Hu's commotion. They didn't know what kind of twists and turns there would be in the subsequent journey.

Time passed slowly, and one day passed quietly, and Xi Yu still couldn't find any news about Xiao Hong.

The endless worries and anxieties lingered in his mind, weighing him down so much that he could hardly breathe.

And Ouyang Linlin's mental and physical exhaustion due to Xiaohong's disappearance and the child's affairs, somehow spread to the ears of several other ladies in the house.

So, either out of genuine concern, in order not to tell the truth, or with some other thoughts, they all went to Ouyang Linlin's room to visit her.

For a time, the originally quiet and deserted room became lively but also had a somewhat subtle atmosphere.

Ouyang Linlin supported her tired body and responded to them one by one, but the sadness between her eyebrows could not be dispelled.

After a while, Ouyang Linlin felt annoyed and didn't want to be disturbed by everyone, so she said softly: "I am a little tired, please go back, sisters."

The ladies heard it, although they were unwilling, they couldn't stay any longer, so they got up and said goodbye.

The room returned to silence, only Xi Yu was always by her side. (End of this chapter)
