Xi Yu walked into Ouyang Linlin's room with heavy steps, with a look of guilt on his face and whispered: "Linlin, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have sent Xiaohong out yesterday, and today I neglected this matter."
Ouyang Linlin frowned and her eyes were full of worry.
"Xiaohong has never come back. Has she really encountered an unexpected situation? According to her personality, if she has already returned home, she will definitely come to me as soon as possible."
Xi Yu gently held Ouyang Linlin's slightly trembling hand, trying to convey a hint of warmth and strength, and comforted him: "Linlin, don't panic first. Xiaohong has always been smart, maybe she was just delayed by something. Let's wait a little longer, maybe she will come back soon."
Ouyang Linlin looked up at Xi Yu, tears flashing in her eyes.
"I always have a bad premonition in my heart. Xiaohong will never be like this without any news."
Xi Yu took Ouyang Linlin into her arms, pressed her chin against her head, and said softly: "I have sent people to look for it everywhere. We will notify us when there is any news. Before that, you must cheer up and don't let your body down."
Ouyang Linlin nodded silently in Xi Yu's arms, but the uneasy mood still followed like a shadow, and the room was filled with a depressing and dull aura. The two of them could only pray silently while waiting for Xiaohong to return safely.
After a while, Xi Yu was anxious, and there was a hint of unquestionable words: "I'll go out and look for it myself." After that, he strided towards the door with great strides.
As soon as I arrived at the gate, I saw the two girls looking panicked and staggering. I ran so anxiously that I almost felt unsteady in the salute.
One of the girls spoke in a hurry.
"You are the Prime Minister, we have already gone to Doctor Song to ask carefully. Doctor Song insisted that he didn't see Miss Xiaohong at all last night."
Xi Yu's face turned pale in an instant, and his heart seemed to be hit hard.
How could Xiaohong disappear without warning and disappear without any trace?
This is too unreasonable.
He stood there, his mind was in chaos, and all kinds of terrible thoughts came one after another.
Did Xiaohong really encounter something dangerous? But who did it? Why did he attack Xiaohong? Countless questions were entangled in his heart, and it was still messy.
But at this moment, he knew clearly that he had to find Xiaohong as soon as possible, even if there was only a glimmer of hope.
So he took a deep breath, suppressed the anxiety and panic in his heart, and resolutely stepped into the unknown search path. His figure gradually disappeared from everyone's sight, leaving only dust all the way, as if he was also telling this anxiety and worry.
Xi Yu walked quickly and walked straight to where Song Shuwen was.
Song Shuwen stood quietly in the yard. When he saw Xi Yu coming, he hurriedly saluted and said, "Prime Minister, Xiaohong has not arrived here. Several girls have come to inquire before."
Xi Yu's face was solemn, worried, and full of confusion and anxiety.
Xi Yu was full of anxiety. When he thought of Ouyang Linlin's concern about her child, how could he bear it if he knew about Xiaohong's disappearance?
He suddenly felt as if the sky had fallen and the earth had sunk. He was filled with self-blame and said regretfully: "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have let you open this clinic. Otherwise, if you were still living in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Xiaohong wouldn't have to come out to find someone, and she wouldn't have disappeared like this."
Seeing Xi Yu blamed himself so much, Song Shuwen hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him and said, "Prime Minister, don't blame yourself like this. No one expected this. Xiaohong's disappearance may be just a temporary accident. Let's find another way, don't take it too seriously."
Xi Yu was still frowning, and the guilty feeling lingered in his heart, which was difficult to dissipate for a long time. He just looked into the distance and thought silently about where Xiaohong might go, hoping to find her as soon as possible so that this messy situation could turn around.
Xi Yu sighed heavily and turned around and hurriedly left Song Shuwen's place.
He galloped all the way, and when he got home, he walked straight to Ouyang Linlin's room.
At this time, several girls had informed Ouyang Linlin of the news that Xiaohong had not found. She saw her sitting on the couch, tears rolling down like beads with broken threads, and she burst into tears.
A little girl whispered to comfort her.
"Madam Ouyang, don't be too sad. If you hurt your body, what should you do?"
Xi Yu stepped into the door and felt even more distressed when he saw this scene.
He quickly walked to Ouyang Linlin and gently embraced her into his arms, but he didn't know how to comfort her for a moment. He just gently patted her back with his hands, trying to give her a trace of strength and support. The room was filled with a solemn atmosphere of sadness and worry, which could not be dissipated for a long time.
Xi Yu frowned, his face full of self-blame, and his voice was hoarse and low.
"It's all my fault for being careless and agreeing to Song Shuwen to open a clinic, which caused Xiaohong to go out. Now that the whereabouts are unknown, it's my fault."
Ouyang Linlin's eyes were filled with tears. She bit her lower lip tightly, trying her best to curb the surging grief in her heart and spoke slowly.
"This is not your own fault. Don't blame yourself like this again."
Seeing this, the little girl beside her quickly whispered to comfort her.
"What the wife said is that Miss Little Red is just missing now, and there is no conclusive evidence to show an unexpected situation. According to my servants, as long as we send more people to search for it with all our might, there may be news."
After hearing the little girl's words, Xi Yu nodded slightly. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
"You are right. I immediately ordered the servants and guards in the mansion to move out and scatter them all over the city to explore carefully. Then I wrote a notice to describe Xiaohong's appearance and clothes in detail, posted on the streets and alleys, and offered a high reward for those who provided clues."
After saying that, a trace of firmness flashed in his eyes, and he turned around and left the room with great strides.
As the sky became brighter, Wang Hu boarded the slightly worn carriage under the escort of several soldiers.
As the key figure in the search for the secret passage this time, he was tightly tied to his body by thick ropes because of his special identity to prevent accidents.
The soldiers looked cold, and one of them said in a muffled voice: "You'd better be honest. If you dare to say a word, you will definitely be in trouble!"
Wang Hu squinted his lips and said indifferently: "Hmph! If you can't believe me, you can let me go now. Why bother here, it's just annoying!"
Before he finished speaking, a soldier with a hot temper opened his eyes wide open, and suddenly slapped him, landing heavily on Wang Hu's face, making a crisp sound.
"You prisoner, how dare you talk back to me like this!"
Wang Hu's head was beaten to one side, and a red palm print appeared on his face instantly.
But he just sneered, with a hint of determination in his eyes.
"I don't want this life anymore. If you have sex, just kill me here, so it's better to be so angry!"
Seeing that he was so stubborn, the soldiers didn't dare to do anything to him.
After all, whether the secret passage can be found depends entirely on him.
The carriage slowly moved forward on the bumpy road, and the atmosphere inside the car was as tense as a bowstring about to break, about to break.
After a while, the sky, which 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 moment.
The strong wind roared by, blowing so hard that people couldn't open their eyes. A soldier shouted at the top of his throat: "It's going to rain this day, so find a place to hide!"
When the coachman heard this, he hurriedly drove the carriage around to search.
As I galloped all the way, I finally saw a small village, with several families scattered in sparsely.
The carriage stopped at the entrance of the village. A soldier hurriedly jumped out of the car, ran towards the nearest family in three steps, and raised his hand and knocked on the slightly worn door.
The knock on the door "dongdongdongdongdongdongdong" sounds particularly abrupt in this quiet village.
After a while, the door creaked open, and a gray-haired old man poked his head out, with a little doubt and vigilance in his eyes.
The soldiers hurriedly bowed with fists, explaining their identities of officers and soldiers.
When the old man heard this, the vigilance on his face faded a little, he quickly moved away and said enthusiastically: "So it's the official. The weather is not good now. Come in quickly, don't get wet."
The soldiers thanked Wang Hu one after another, and rushed into the cold courtyard. The originally cold courtyard suddenly became more angry.
Everyone rushed into the room, and the originally spacious room was instantly filled with swelling.
When the old man's eyes fell on Wang Hu, who was tied up by a rope, he couldn't help frowning, his heart full of doubts.
The old man leaned forward, pointed at Wang Hu, looked at the soldiers, and asked carefully: "Prince, what's wrong with this man being tied up like this?"
A soldier waved his hand carelessly and replied indifferently: "Uncle, don't worry, this guy is a criminal, he has committed a crime. We are escorting him to do the job. You are old, just pretend that you didn't see it."
When the old man heard this, although he was still suspicious, he couldn't ask any more questions when he saw the soldier saying this. He just looked at Wang Hu secretly, with a hint of curiosity and worry in his eyes.
I don’t know what the tied man had done, and where did the officers and soldiers take him.
The house fell into a brief silence for a moment, with only the sound of rain outside the house knocking on the window frames, as if they were also curious about the various situations in the house.
However, after Wang Hu's eyes fell on the old man, he felt inexplicably friendly.
His gaze seemed to be stuck, and he kept staring at the old man, and a complex emotion gradually appeared in his eyes.
After a while, Wang Hu couldn't help but speak, with a hint of sigh.
"Uncle, you look really like my dead uncle."
As soon as he said this, the others in the room were stunned and turned their eyes to him in unison.
The soldiers looked even more suspicious, thinking in their hearts that Wang Hu was trying to do something, and the old man was also surprised, and was a little overwhelmed by the sudden words. He just stood there, staring at Wang Hu, not knowing how to respond.
As Wang Hu spoke, his eyes turned red and tears burst out uncontrollably. He choked and cried, "I really miss my dead uncle too much. Uncle, I miss you so much..."
Seeing this, several soldiers were all surprised.
In their past impression, Wang Hu was a arrogant and domineering master. He had never seen him cry so sadly and express his true feelings like a child.
Several soldiers looked at each other and looked at each other. One of the soldiers couldn't help but raise his finger and pointed to his head. The meaning was obvious, as if he was silently saying to his companion: "I'm afraid there's something wrong with Wang Hu. This looks so abnormal." Then, the soldier winked at his companion again, meaning that when the matter was completed, he would report Wang Hu's strange behavior to the prime minister truthfully.
You can't let this guy use this look to make a fool of their jobs.
The atmosphere inside the house was a little subtle for a moment, only Wang Hu's crying was still echoing intermittently, and the drizzling rain outside the house exuded an indescribable strangeness and desolation.
After a long time, the turbulent rain finally stopped gradually, and a few rays of light that seemed to be there or not appeared in the sky.
Several people did not dare to delay, so they continued on the itinerary.
But at this time, Wang Hu seemed to have lost his soul, and his eyes became dull and unconscious. No matter how the soldiers talked to him, he seemed to have never heard of it, sitting there without saying a word.
Seeing this, an impatient soldier frowned, raised his hand and patted Wang Hu's head quietly and yelled unhappily: "Hey! I ask you, how many roads will it take to arrive? Why are you like a dull man, and you don't say anything for a long time!"
Wang Hu slowly turned his head when he was slapped, and a harsh look flashed in his eyes. He glared at the soldier fiercely, making the soldier feel "splied" in his heart, and subconsciously took a step back.
Then, Wang Hu turned his eyes to the lofty sky, his face full of resentment and reluctance, and even cursed him loudly at God: "God, you are so cruel. If I have the chance, I will definitely ask you for an explanation and let you taste this unlucky taste!"
His fuss made the soldiers around him stunned on the spot, looking at each other in a glance, and felt more and more that Wang Hu was afraid of being crazy. But he was stolen at this moment and had to bite the bullet and continue rushing, hoping to reach the destination as soon as possible so as to handle this tricky guy.
Wang Hu ignored his image and continued to curse God, his dirty words endlessly like a surging tide, and his appearance looked like a tantrum.
A soldier looked frightened and hurriedly stopped him, "Don't be disrespectful to God anymore, you will be punished by God!"
Wang Hu just stared at him fiercely, with flames of anger and despair burning in his eyes, and shouted viciously: "I live a life that is neither human nor ghost now, so what if I curse a few words? If you have the ability, let God hit me with a thunder, so it's better to live a life that is worse than death!"
The veins on his neck burst out, his face full of arrogance and unruly, as if he wanted to use this curse to vent all the anger and aggrievance in his heart.
The soldiers were frightened by his crazy appearance, and they all distanced themselves from him, watching his every move with caution, fearing that he would suddenly start to hurt others.
Wang Hu still raised his head and scolded the sky. The voice echoed in the empty fields, revealing endless desolation and sorrow.
The hot-hearted soldier was so angry that he was so angry that Wang Hu was twitching. He clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and wanted to rush up and beat him up so that he could close his cursing mouth.
But at this moment, another relatively calm soldier beside him quickly reached out and pulled the corner of his clothes, shook his head gently, and gestured to him with his eyes.
The eyes seemed to say, "Don't be impulsive. This guy is like a madman now. We don't have to know him as much as he does. If something goes wrong and delays our work on finding a secret passage, that would be bad."
The soldier who was pulled at the corner of the clothes was stunned for a moment, took a deep breath, and slowly let go of his clenched fists. Although he was still full of anger, he still suppressed the anger in his heart. After glaring at Wang Hu, he turned his head and stopped looking at him. He just muttered in a low voice: "Hmph, when the matter is done, I will see how I deal with you, a life-and-death thing!"
Wang Hu still cursed at God regardless of his carelessness. His arrogant and crazy look made the atmosphere along the way more depressing and weird.
Wang Hu sneered at the corner of his mouth and shouted: "If you have the courage, beat me to death directly! If you provoke me like this and annoy me, I will never take you to find the secret passage. Anyway, my life is nothing to be left to nostalgic for. At worst, it will be a death-death!"
The soldier who had wanted to do it before glared at him fiercely, but he forced himself to not have an attack, but just cursed in his heart.
The other soldiers looked at each other, and in desperation, they could only swallow the anger for the time being. The team continued to move forward slowly in a dull and depressing atmosphere.
The scenery on both sides of the road kept retreating, but everyone's hearts were covered with a thick layer of haze due to Wang Hu's noisy. I don't know what kind of twists and turns will arise in the subsequent itinerary.
Time flies slowly, and a day of time passes quietly, and Xi Yu still hasn't found any news about Xiaohong.
The endless worry and anxiety lingered in his heart like a shadow, and he was almost breathless.
Ouyang Linlin was exhausted by Xiaohong's disappearance and the child's affairs, somehow it even came to the ears of several other wives in the mansion.
Therefore, out of their sincere concern, in order not to lose weight, or with some other thoughts, they went to Ouyang Linlin's room to visit.
For a moment, the originally quiet and deserted room became lively but exuded a somewhat subtle atmosphere.
Ouyang Linlin forced her tired bodies to respond to them one by one, but the sorrow between her eyebrows and eyes could not be dissipated.
After a while, Ouyang Linlin felt depressed and did not want to be disturbed by everyone, so she whispered: "I am a little tired, so please come back with all my sisters."
When the ladies heard that although they were unwilling to accept it, they were not willing to stay any longer, so they had to get up and say goodbye.
