Li Ying and Yu Ren looked at each other. Unexpectedly, they originally wanted to track down the person behind Shi Tingzhu's behind-the-scenes, but accidentally discovered his affair with Miss Zhu. But Li Ying did not intend to give up. Who knew about their affair?

Is there any other conspiracy behind the scenes? Didn't those two girls just talk about it! Shi Tingzhu's father was the general soldier of Datong, and was then sent to Zhejiang to do guerrilla work.

Could it be that Shi Tingzhu was originally sent by his father to the Li family as an undercover agent? That's not certain. And who is his father? Although Li Ying knows a lot about officials in the southeastern provinces, guerrillas are really nothing.

Senior officials, just in Zhejiang Province alone, there are many guerrilla generals in the imperial court, not to mention that these people are not stationary for a long time. Today you are transferred, and tomorrow they are transferred away. Although Li Ying is well-informed, she is not

Naturally, officials in the Ministry of Personnel cannot know everything so clearly.

After all the lights in the small building were turned off, Li Ying and Yu Ren also left Zhu's house.

As soon as Li Ying returned to Shi Qingsheng's residence, she immediately mobilized all the city's spies to the east of the city. She told them to always pay attention to Miss Zhu's movements. As soon as they saw Miss Zhu going out, they would report immediately.

Based on the information obtained from the conversation between the two girls last night, Li Ying determined that within the next two days, Miss Zhu would definitely meet with Shi Tingzhu and probably elope with him. If she didn't take advantage of them before they left, she would have to keep an eye on them in the future.

It will be difficult to find Shi Tingzhu again.

Li Ying's judgment was absolutely correct. Before noon, the person assigned to Zhu's house to keep an eye on him came back and reported that he had discovered that Miss Zhu had gone out with a girl.

"Should we take a car or a sedan?" Li Ying asked hurriedly.

"I didn't take a car or a sedan. I walked." The man said.

"Did you see them bringing packages or something?"

The man shook his head again. "It looks like he is going to the street to buy something."

Li Ying pondered, "Didn't you say you were going to elope? Why didn't you bring anything with you? And you were walking." Li Ying muttered in a low voice.

"Yes! The more you elope, the more concealed it is, and the more you have to hide it from others! Otherwise, it wouldn't be called an elopement.

Elopement is also a technical job, and not just anyone can do it. You can tell by looking at it that you have no experience in elopement." Yu Ren joked from the side.

"Why don't our young lady just wait for Mr. Yu to speak? When will you take our young lady to elope?" Ying'er on the side suppressed her laughter and interjected. Being used to Yu Ren's wisecracks, Ying'er now also

I like to imitate his tone and tease him once in a while.

Li Ying glared at Yu Ren and scolded Ying'er, "You're the only one who talks so much!" She still tried her best to maintain her image in front of her subordinates.

"Huzi, prepare two fast horses for us right away." Li Ying said, hurriedly entered the house, changed her clothes, and put some beard on her face, looking like a completely different person. Even if she was an acquaintance, she would look like a completely different person.

Those who haven't seen him will recognize him. Yu Ren was also pushed into the room. When he came out, he had turned into a big man with a beard. He also had a knife on his waist, and he looked a bit like a bodyguard.

"Aren't you going to take me with you?" Ying'er saw that the two of them were already dressed and only called two horses, so she knew that they had left her alone again.

"Didn't you say we were going to elope? Of course I can't take you with me." Yu Ren winked at Ying'er and said.

"When we follow Miss Zhu this time, we are likely to encounter Shi Tingzhu. You don't know martial arts, so it will be very dangerous if you go there." Li Ying said.

"Who says I don't know martial arts! I just learned it from Hu Zi yesterday. Look, this is a white crane spreading its wings, and this is a boy worshiping Buddha, right!" As she said that, Yinger performed two moves seriously.

Yu Ren nodded in approval and said, "Yeah! Ying'er did a good job with these two poses! If there was a beauty contest, she would definitely win first place."

Ying'er glanced at Yu Ren, "Who wants to talk to you?"

"Okay, don't say anything, don't say anything!" Yu Ren said and walked out. He was really a little afraid of this little girl.

Li Ying walked past Ying'er and patted her shoulder gently. "Okay. Be obedient. We're all leaving. I'll leave everything in this courtyard to you. We promise to be back soon."

After saying that, Li Ying also went out. Although she and Ying'er were master and servant in name, in fact Ying'er had been with her since she was seven or eight years old. The two had always been inseparable, and they were closer than real sisters.

Quite a few points. That's why Ying'er dared to speak so casually in front of her.

According to the report of the person who was following the Zhu family, the two walked towards the street where Miss Zhu appeared. Before they reached the place, they saw another young man who was following them hurriedly over. Several people hurried to the corner of the street. The informant told

They, Miss Zhu and the girl accompanying her, had already boarded the carriage and left the East City.

The two of them were shocked, quickly mounted their horses and chased towards the east gate.

Fortunately, because Ningbo Prefecture is close to the sea, it often rains. The ground is not very solid. As soon as the two of them left the city gate, they saw two tracks newly pressed by the carriage on the ground. With these tracks to guide the way, they were not in a hurry.

. So the two of them slowed down and followed the normal speed of passengers on their way.

In order to avoid accidentally rushing in front of Ms. Zhu, they sometimes deliberately stopped on the side of the road to eat and drink some water before continuing on their way.

Not far from the city gate, Li Ying felt that she was being watched, but Yu Ren didn't realize it because he had never encountered such a thing before and had no experience in this area.

While taking a nap on the roadside, Li Ying quietly told Yu Ren about this discovery.

"Who is it?" Yu Ren asked quietly.

"It seems to be Shi Tingzhu himself. Fortunately, we disguised ourselves. Otherwise, Shi Tingzhu would have fled if his whereabouts were exposed. It would be difficult to find out who was behind him. We'd better pretend not to know. See

After Miss Zhu's car stops on the track, we can continue to drive forward for a while, and then sneak back quietly." Li Ying said. She is obviously very experienced in this kind of thing.

After being woken up by Li Ying, Yu Ren found that behind them, there was a person following. This person was also riding a horse and wore a big bamboo hat. The brim of the hat was pushed down so low that he could not see clearly.

Face. This person always kept a certain distance from them, neither close nor far away. They sat down to rest, and the other person also sat down and rested. As soon as they moved, the other person immediately followed suit.

After walking about twenty miles out of the city, it was already dusk and the newly pressed car tracks on the official road suddenly stopped moving forward, but turned around and followed the way they came. Yu Ren looked at the car tracks on the ground in confusion.

After taking a moment, he realized that this car must be the one that he and the two of them had just passed by.

"Keep walking! Don't look at the ground." Li Ying reminded in a low voice from the side.

Only then did Yu Ren remember that the two of them were still being stared at. After they had gone more than two miles, Li Ying stopped her horse.

"Okay, let's lead the horses to the woods first, and then drive back from the woods. I know that there is a trail just now that leads to the official road to Shaoxing in the northwest of Ningbo Prefecture. Next to it

There seems to be a small ferry. Some boats from Ningbo to Shaoxing also dock there to take passengers and goods." As Li Ying said this, she had already led the horse into the forest.

Yu Ren naturally did not dare to neglect.

The two tied up their horses and hurried back, fearing that they would be late and be run away by Shi Tingzhu. Fortunately, the trail was too narrow and there were many woods on both sides, so the horses could not pass. This made them uncomfortable.

Feeling a little more relieved.

When they arrived at the trail, they heard someone talking in the woods not far away. The two of them snuck over looking for the sound. They saw a small open space in front of them. At this time, there were seventeen or eight people surrounding the open space.

Shi Tingzhu is holding the hand of a young woman and standing in the middle.

Yu Ren looked over from a distance and saw that this woman was about twenty-four or five years old. She was pretty pretty, but her face had a dignified look that made people stay away from her.

The two people were surrounded by a group of people holding sticks. The leader of this group was a middle-aged man in his thirties.

The middle-aged man was standing in front of everyone, yelling at Shi Tingzhu who was surrounded by people: "Shi Tingzhu, I advise you to let my sister go quickly, otherwise, you will never get out of this forest today!"

Li Ying and Yu Ren hurriedly hid in the nearby bushes and watched the field. Li Ying estimated that the young woman Shi Tingzhu was holding was Miss Zhu, and the person who scolded him might be the elder of the Zhu family.
