A quarter of an hour later, Jin Jue and the young lady sat on the carriage heading to Wuling County.
Yes, it’s not Xingning County, but Wuling County.
Li Yan went to Wuling County to try her luck and see if she could catch Fuyun, an old thief.
In the carriage, the master and servant were eating cakes and drinking tea, with relaxed postures.
Outside the carriage, two young men were riding, escorting them from left to right.
Amidst the sound of falling rain, they walked out of He County without any obstruction.
After leaving the city gate, Jin Jue couldn't help but sigh, "Miss, the second young master is so kind!"
A quarter of an hour ago, Jin Jue thought she would have to stay alone in Yaoxiangtang to wait for the young lady. Who knew the young man would be so considerate.
While the master and servant were talking quietly, in just a moment, a luxurious carriage was found, and even the driver took it with him.
She leaned close to Li Yan's ear and whispered, "Miss, if the second young master is so capable, would you ask Fuyun to inquire about it? It's better than trying to find a needle in a haystack like you, miss."
Li Yan knew Gu Xuan's family background, but Jin Jue didn't.
But through borrowing the car, the little maid saw the power behind the boy.
In the past two days, Li Yan had been running around here and there about Master Fuyun's affairs. She could see that the young lady was very concerned about Master Fuyun's affairs.
Yesterday they rushed to Xingning County without stopping, although they did not see Taoist Master Fuyun.
But the young lady was not as ignorant of Taoist Master Fuyun's affairs as County Magistrate Zhou said.
Now she still has a portrait of Fuyun Lao Dao on her body. Judging from the young lady's stubbornness, she won't stop until Fuyun Lao Tao is found out.
But after all, there was a huge sea of people, and God knows where Fuyun Lao Dao was hiding at this time.
For these two girls, running around all day long in order to find someone is not a long-term solution.
Li Yan was full and took a nap against the wall of the car. After hearing this, she said: "Kumquat, please remember that it is better to ask for yourself than to ask for others. What others can do is their business and has nothing to do with us. We only rely on ourselves."
Li Yan had no choice but to tell him that he was going to Wuling.
She didn't want the young man to guess anything from clues anymore. She had her own plan, which did not include Gu Xuan.
Seeing her sleepiness getting thicker, Jin Jue let out a light ooh and shut her mouth obediently.
He took a thin blanket from the cabinet and covered her with it. He found a pillow and leaned on it.
It was a bumpy ride, and when we arrived in Wuling County, the rain became lighter.
With Gu Xuan here, it is very convenient to enter the city.
As soon as the little guard showed his token, the officers and soldiers guarding the gate looked at it and let him go.
The carriage stopped at the famous inn in Wuling County, Yuelai Pavilion.
After Li Yan and Jin Jue got off the carriage, they thanked Gu Xuan, said they wanted to have dinner here, and asked them if they had any other plans or should they stay with her.
Xiaoqi, "..."
Thinking of having a meal together is a beautiful thought.
Gu Xuan nodded in agreement.
Xiaoqi, "..."
Well, the slap in the face came too quickly.
Yuelai Pavilion is a well-known restaurant in Wuling County. On weekdays, the wine and meat are fragrant and crowded.
Nowadays, due to the drought, the restaurant's business has plummeted, and there are only two or three diners sitting in the hall.
As soon as the young man came in, he received special courtesy from the store.
The shopkeeper personally entertained the guests and took them to the dining room on the second floor. The waiter then served tea.
"It's good luck for some of our guests."
The shopkeeper looked eager: "We have seafood in the pavilion and the meat is sold at a 30% discount. I don't know which guest is ordering. Please follow me downstairs to check out the fresh products. I guarantee they are of high quality and low price."
The damage caused by this drought to the interests of businesses is immeasurable. Small restaurants and inns have closed down one after another.
Yuelai Pavilion, the most famous restaurant in Wuling County, was not spared. Due to the lackluster business, its books were in red for more than three months.
Even though Yuelai is wealthy, it has to reduce its manpower and reduce unnecessary expenses.
Li Yan looked at the young man, "I know a few of the signature dishes in this shop, but I don't know what your taste is like. Are there any taboos? If not, will I be the host?"
Gu Xuan's face was always cold and cold, "Guests do as they please, as long as the girl likes it."
"My young master's taste is bland." Xiao Qi interjected.
Li Yan's eyes moved and she said, "I understand, young master. Please take a rest while I follow the shopkeeper downstairs to take a look."
Gu Xuan was drinking tea in the private room, while Jin Jue and Li Yan went downstairs together.
Li Yan ordered a few dishes and sent kumquat and the shopkeeper to pick seafood.
I caught a waiter casually, put a dime of silver into his hand, and asked about Fuyun.
"Miss, if you want to know anything, just ask."
It is common in restaurants to pry into things. The waiter is not used to it, but Li Yan is so generous with her actions and keeps the money in her pocket. The waiter laughs so hard that his eyes disappear.
Business in the restaurant was poor, and not only did the monthly salary of the clerks drop sharply, but even the extra reward money was gone for several months.
The dime Li Yan gave him was equivalent to half a month's wages.
"I'll tell you the truth, I came from a foreign country, and the road was plagued by drought and tuberculosis. The rain in Wuling County came just in time. I would like to ask if there is any expert method here?" The girl said with curiosity on her face.
.
The waiter smiled and said, "Girl, you are asking the right person. You really are an expert."
"oh?"
Li Yan's face became more interested, "Second brother, can you tell me more about this expert?"
"It's a coincidence that the master stayed at our Yuelai Pavilion last night, and the young man personally served him."
The waiter poured out everything he knew as if he were pouring beans. This was the only thing that was useful to Li Yan.
Li Yan's eyes lit up, "Where is that person?"
"After doing the Fa, I'll check out and leave."
Hearing that Fuyun had left the inn, Li Yan felt calm.
This result was not much different from what she had originally imagined. When she was thanking the rain in Hejun, Fuyun was "calling for the wind and rain" in Wuling.
Due to different regions, rainfall times vary from place to place.
Fuyun took advantage of this time difference and traveled between the two places.
As for why she didn't come to Wuling to arrest someone before, but chose to go to Xingning County.
It was precisely because the floating clouds praying for rain collided with her praying for rain that she had no choice but to make a decision.
Fuyun can't be caught, at least she still has his portrait.
As long as he has an agenda, she will catch him sooner or later.
It is currently unknown whether Fuyun invited Maolu to come here to perform the ritual, or whether there was someone behind him.
But after all, this is unusual.
She relies on the opportunity of rebirth, but what about the other party?
Are floating clouds really powerful?
Or is there someone else in this world who had the same opportunity as her and was reborn?
She always wants to make things clear. If the other party doesn't block her way, everyone will clear the door and live in peace.
If he really wanted to block her way, she would not be lenient.
After thinking about it, Li Yan said regretfully, "That's such a pity."
"When I encounter difficulties at home, I originally wanted to ask an expert for advice on good or bad luck, but it seems that I can't."
"If a girl wants to seek divination, our Baochan Temple in Wuling is very effective."
The waiter said enthusiastically, "Girl, don't give it a try."
Such a delicate little girl would not run out at this moment unless she was in trouble. The man believed her words deeply.
"Master Jingyun of Baochan Temple is good at interpreting lottery tickets," the waiter said kindly.
"Thank you, little brother." Li Yan thanked her politely.
At this time, someone in the store called the waiter, and the waiter left in a hurry.
Jin Jue picked out the fish and meat and came over, "Miss, I made a lot of money today. I spent twenty taels of silver on ordering delicious dishes that you can't even eat for twenty taels of silver."
"A songhua fish just arrived in the store. The slave saw that the fish was very active, so she ordered one."
Jin Jue reported the names of a few more dishes and asked her, "Miss, do you want to add some more dishes?"
