Chapter 59 Frustration

That night, Lin Rong was in a daze, distracted from looking at the kung fu on the side of the road, and then turned his head to find that Fei Tian was no longer there, and Gu Pan saw no one around, thinking that he would leave him and go back to the inn first, but without thinking too much, he went back and fell down. Just sleep, when the sun is three poles, Ning Qing and Wei Yao went to bed early in the morning, and they don't know when they will come back.As a result, when it was time for lunch, the three of them looked at each other and no one spoke.

After a while, Ning Qing asked Lin Rong, "Where's Fei Tian?"

Lin Rong said blankly: "No, I don't know. We came back together last night, but he disappeared after we got there. I thought he came back first."

Wei Yao: "..."

Ning Qing got up and said anxiously: "What about the people now?"

Wei Yao tugged at him: "Don't worry, in order to avoid distracting people, Tian Cheng took people to rest in another inn, and I asked him to look for it."

Lin Rong suddenly said: "So that's the case, I said why General Tian disappeared later."

Ning Qing glanced at him, and he resentfully shut up and stopped talking.

Last night, when Fei Tian woke up, he only felt a pain in the back of his head, but he woke up most of the time from the wine. Only then did he realize that he was tied up, his eyes were covered with cloth, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart.

Xu Shi noticed that he was awake, and the next moment the cloth covering his eyes was taken off.He looked up and almost fainted from fright.

"You, why are you!"

Pu Yu was wearing night clothes, and looked rather hostile to the visitor.Fei Tian gave him a chance earlier, but he couldn't have imagined that he would come to the door so soon, and it was impossible to guard against him, so he was at a loss right now.

Pu Yu didn't look annoyed, but smiled and said: "Your Highness didn't let us find it together last time without telling you, but luckily we finally found it."

Fei Tian whispered, "You're not looking for it, it's clearly tied."

He suddenly realized something was wrong, Huangzhou is not close to Changzhou, not to mention he is stepping on Dongyi now, how did Pu Yu follow him?

Fei Tian knew that they would not do anything to him, so he dared to ask, "How did you find me?"

Pu Yu smiled mysteriously: "You don't need to worry about this Your Highness, the servant has his own way."

Since this road does not work, then go another way.

"Why are you tying me up?" Fei Tian looked at him cautiously.

"Isn't this a lesson from the past? Your Highness may have struggled halfway, and your subordinates have injured you regardless of the severity. They can only wrong you for a while, and the servant will untie your Highness after finishing speaking."

Fei Tian struggled a few times, but unfortunately he was tightly bound and couldn't move, so he had to give in: "What do you want to say?"

"The servant told His Highness earlier that the Lord's family has always remembered you. Since His Highness has come to the east, it is inevitable that we will meet each other."

Fei Tian's head was still foggy, and it took him a while to realize: "What, he's in Dongyi?"

Pu Yu still didn't reply directly, but said: "In short, the servant has already arrived. When the time comes, the master will come to see you. Your Highness just needs to wait."

He just loves to play tricks, Fei Tian slandered in his heart, and said, "You're done? Why don't you let me go?"

Pu Yu waved his hand, and someone untied him, Fei Tian stood up and patted the dust off his clothes.

"The servant sent someone to send His Highness back." Pu Yu said respectfully.

"No need." Fei Tian snorted, "No need."

Pu Yu didn't force him, so he really let him go.

As soon as Fei Tian went out, he didn't take a few steps. Looking at the strange walls and bricks around him, he suddenly wanted to go back and ask Pu Yu to give him a ride, but the words had already been spoken and the people had already left, so it would be embarrassing to turn back.Isn't it just the road? He doesn't believe that he can't find an inn after wandering for many years, passing through countless cities and stepping on the roofs of thousands of houses.

As a result...he got lost.

When the sun was setting, Tian Cheng came back to reply, lowered his head and said: "This subordinate is incompetent, and has not found Mr. Fei's whereabouts."

Ning Qing thought this was terrible.

"This person is unfamiliar with the place, where can he go?"

Wei Yao said: "The streets and alleys of Wangcheng are criss-crossed. He just came to Dongyi not long ago, so he probably lost his way somewhere. Tian Cheng, you can take someone to look for it in the remote alleys, and send some people there as well outside the city."

"Yes."

Tian Cheng turned around to go out, bumped into someone at the door, shouted impolite, took a closer look, this emaciated, almost breathless person, who is it not Fei Tian?

"Brother Lan Yu..." Fei Tian fell at the door of the room, dying, and said, "It's finally here."

Then he closed his eyes and passed out.

Everyone panicked, those who carried people were carrying people, those who were looking for doctors were looking for doctors, and they were in a hurry.

When Fei Tian woke up again, it was already the morning of the second day. The sun was shining brightly, and it was warm on the bed. He enjoyed the warmth, and when he thought of yesterday's long journey, he felt even more desolate. Fortunately, he finally came back.

After he tucked into the third bowl of rice, he was finally full, Ning Qing asked, "Where have you been all day?"

Lin Rong agreed with some grievances: "That's right, you disappeared in a blink of an eye, I'm very worried."

Fei Tian told them about meeting Pu Yu.

Wei Yao winked at Tian Cheng, and he stepped forward to obey the order.

"You take someone to track down the whereabouts of that group."

"Yes."

After Tian Cheng took the door out, Ning Qing thought about it carefully, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

"We just came to Dongyi, and someone kidnapped you there, obviously they knew our whereabouts clearly." Ning Qing turned to look at Wei Yao, "It doesn't seem like a coincidence."

Wei Yao nodded: "Either they have a lot of power in Dongyi, or they know our whereabouts through some means. No matter what it is, it can only show that the power of the previous dynasty is far greater than we thought, and it may have become A prairie fire."

"That's right." Ning Qing remembered what Fei Tian said just now, and recalled, "According to this, Pu Yu's main family has probably shown up. We have only come to Dongyi not long ago, and we haven't seen many people. Maybe it's still in Huangzhou."

Lin Rong wondered, "But we haven't met many people in Huangzhou. Even if we have, how can that person confirm the identity of Mr. Fei?"

identity?Ning Qing remembered something and asked Fei Tian: "The only thing that can prove your identity is the jade pendant you wear with you. Who can you let see?"

After he said it, Fei Tian remembered: "I met Patriarch Lin and Abbot Wuyou in Longzhu Temple. The abbot gave me a protective jade pendant, so I showed him the jade pendant on me. Yes, just this once!"

"What kind of abbot is this, I heard that you rarely see people when you are out of nowhere. Why did you just bump into it when you went there? I'm afraid it was deliberately designed to see your jade pendant and confirm your identity."

The more Lin Rong heard it, the more he felt that his young master was powerful and his analysis was sound, so he happily said, "Yes, it makes sense after thinking about it this way!"

Wei Yao said: "At the moment, we are exhausted. After returning to Huangzhou, we will meet the abbot in person."

Ning Qing responded.

Then Lin Rong asked Fei Tian: "Since they let you go early, why did you come back after a day?"

When it comes to this, Fei Tian has endless blood and tears to cry.

"They didn't know where they tied me to. I couldn't find the way, and I was walking while groping, and I was able to come back after taking countless crooked roads. I was tired and hungry halfway, and I suspected that I had to confess that I was in another land , I’m afraid that if I didn’t become a hungry ghost, I would end up starving and cold.”

He seemed to be able to shed tears in the next moment, and he held Ning Qing and Lin Rong's hands as he said, "Fortunately, I've made it to the end, and I finally see you all."

His experience was like hearing the sad listeners cry, and Ning Qing also felt sorry for him, so he asked Xiaoer to add two more dishes, and left after watching him sleep peacefully after eating.

In the end, no trace of Pu Yu was found, and after a few days, Mu Jing sent them into the palace.

"People from the Lonely Faction have not found any traces of pirates, and have also asked several well-known merchant gangs. They have been traveling at sea all year round, and have not seen any pirates recently, let alone the dozens of people you mentioned. The businessman is the most well-informed about such news, if there is such a news, it is impossible not to hear the wind."

Both Ning Qing and Wei Yao understood what he meant: this matter has nothing to do with me, Dongyi, I'm afraid you caused other troubles, and some people want us to fight.

They thanked Mu Jing well and left the palace without much delay, and set off directly back to Huangzhou.

Although the background of the pirates was not found in Dongyi this time, it is strange that Pu Yu and his party suddenly appeared here. After all, this matter has nothing to do with them. Before thinking about it, one can probably guess who made it Therefore, the most important thing now is not to investigate blindly, but to meet directly for a while to see what he wants to do.

Ningfu, the imperial capital.

In the main hall, Ning Kecheng and Ding Chongan had already drunk half a cup of tea, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

"The tea in Lord Ning's mansion is really top-quality, it's rare for me to drink it once, and I don't have time to talk, so please don't blame me."

Ning Ke smiled slightly and said: "Since your lord likes it, I'll ask someone to pack some and take it with you when you go back."

"Then I would like to thank Lord Ning."

Ning Kecheng flicked the tea with the cover of the cup, and said: "Master Ding's sudden visit today is not for these few teas, is it?"

Ding Chongan put down the teacup with a smile, his expression was gentle, showing humility and courtesy: "Recently, I seldom have the opportunity to talk to Lord Ning, so I came here to visit."

"Oh, what does Lord Nading want to tell me?" He asked knowingly.

Ding Chong'an flicked his sleeves, and said casually: "Then I won't be beating around the bush. I've also heard about what Mr. Ning is investigating recently. I feel sorry for your busy schedule, and feel sorry for your good intentions, so I admire you very much."

Ning Kecheng smiled fearlessly, and looked at him sideways: "Master Na Ding came today, is it a warning?"

"How could it be. You have higher qualifications than me, and I am a junior, so I dare not warn or not. Master Ning, just do whatever you want to investigate, and I will never stop you."

Hearing this, Ning Kecheng only thought it was funny: "Could it be possible that Lord Ding feels that his holy favor has reached the point where he can do anything wrong, and he doesn't worry about what will happen to His Majesty at all?"

Ding Chong'an smiled and took a slender wooden box from the servant.

"I admire Mrs. Ning, and naturally I won't hinder you. Isn't this the only way to please you?" He opened the wooden box and handed it to Ning Kecheng. Jiang Xun, now give it to Lord Ning, please accept it with a smile."

Ning Kecheng wanted to see what kind of trick he was trying to do, so she took out the scroll, unwrapped the rope and unfolded it, her expression changed instantly, she turned to look at Ding Chong'an with a stern look in her eyes.
