"Each of them received a note, which simply stated your situation. The people who received the note almost did not hesitate at all, and did not identify the authenticity, so they hurriedly made arrangements.
Already."
"And the one who received it the earliest is Fang Fu who is farthest away."
"The person who sent the message is very familiar with me, and also very familiar with my friendship with them."
"If this note was sent to other people, maybe those people would either send someone to check whether the message is true or false, or they would turn a blind eye."
"Under normal circumstances, there is nothing wrong with doing this."
"But whether it's Fang Fu or Xie Yunsong, they almost all come with the idea that if they make a mistake, the trip will be in vain."
"There was no hesitation. The person behind me was very accurate in reading people. He must be very familiar with my experience."
Zhang Bao said calmly.
"ah?"
"Ms. sir, who is this person?"
"How could he be so familiar with my husband's affairs?"
Su Xiaoyue was very surprised.
"Judging from the investigation, there is an organization behind this, called Taohua Pavilion."
"I heard that this Peach Blossom Pavilion does not have a fixed place, but there are their people in every place, and... I heard that there are only women in Peach Blossom Pavilion."
Zhang Bao said slowly.
This is the result of Zhang Bao's recent investigation.
Thanks also to the Zheng family.
Ever since the news about Dongzhou came back, Zheng Kongliang, the head of the Zheng family, almost fainted from joy.
It seems that my all-or-nothing bet on Zhang Bao was indeed right!
Zheng Kongliang was very excited!
But he also knew Zhang Bao's attitude towards their Zheng family.
If you want to change, you must do more.
When Zheng Kongliang found out about the last time Taohua Pavilion sent a message to Fang Fu and the others, he regretted missing such an excellent opportunity.
But because of this, I became very dissatisfied with this Taohua Pavilion.
For such a crucial matter, our Zheng family was not contacted, so Zheng Kongliang used all the power of the Zheng family to investigate this Taohua Pavilion, and they really found some traces.
This Peach Blossom Pavilion came into being two years ago.
But in just two years, it has blossomed everywhere.
At first, I relied on the prostitutes in the brothels as my main source of information. Later, I gradually broke away from it, but I still have connections with the brothels in various places.
In a place like a brothel, there are all kinds of people, from high-ranking officials to common people, from all religions and from all over the world. Naturally, the sources of information are very well-informed.
It is precisely because of this situation.
This Peach Blossom Pavilion knows the situation of various places in Daxia very well.
The Zheng family told Zhang Bao the news.
Zhang Bao was also paying attention to this matter during that time, and then he discovered Taohua Pavilion.
For Zhang Bao, the perspective of consideration is naturally different. This Peach Blossom Pavilion definitely has no malice towards him. Not only is there no malice, but it is like helping him.
As the three-year appointment with Ma Yaner gets closer and closer.
Zhang Bao suddenly connected this matter with Ma Yan'er, and the more he thought about it, the more likely it became.
"Ms. sir, do you mean that this Peach Blossom Pavilion belongs to Sister Ma?"
Su Xiaoyue also reacted.
"Very possible."
"Otherwise, I really can't think of anyone who would be so helpful and favorable to us."
Zhang Bao nodded.
"Huh?"
"Why are there horse hoof prints here?"
Zhang Bao suddenly noticed a few fresh horse hoof prints on the soil under his feet.
Zhang Bao was stunned, as if he thought of something, and immediately jumped off his horse.
Although there is still a thick fog, Zhang Bao has long been familiar with the environment here and quickly came to Ma Yuanming's tombstone.
Zhang Bao was stunned immediately.
at this time.
In front of Ma Yuanming's tomb.
There were several plates of side dishes and an empty wine flask.
In front of the tombstone, a few lines of wine are poured.
"Yan'er!"
"Yan'er——"
Zhang Bao shouted loudly.
Although the fog blocked the view, it did not block the sound.
These shouts echoed in the Mountain Wolf Valley, getting farther and farther away and getting fainter.
…
Until evening.
Zhang Bao and Su Xiaoyue had just returned from outside the city.
Zhang Bao didn't understand why Ma Yan'er didn't come to him even though she was back. Even Su Xiaoyue couldn't figure it out.
Wait until the two of them return to Yueyan Restaurant.
But he was shocked to find that two men from the Thirty-six Treasure Guards were waiting at the door.
"See my lord!"
"See ma'am!"
Seeing Zhang Bao and Su Xiaoyue coming back, they hurriedly greeted them and saluted.
"Um?"
"Why are you two back?"
"Something happened in the capital?"
Zhang Bao was a little surprised.
Jumped off the horse.
The two people in front of him were the ones he had sent to Xiazhou to escort Princess Yongtai and to inquire about the news.
If something big hadn't happened, the two of them would never have come back in person.
"Sir, the two of us are actually..."
"Walk!"
"The people inside said, have you two just arrived?"
"Why are you so tired?"
Zhang Bao said as he greeted the two of them and walked in.
"Oh, Master, you are finally back. These two pieces of wood came early in the morning. I heard that you were not here and insisted on waiting for you outside. They refused to come in and said that they had to say hello to you first.
Come in again later.”
"Tell me about them, do they have brain-shafts?!"
When Mrs. Li saw everyone coming in, she quickly got up and complained to Zhang Bao.
After these two people came today, they heard that Zhang Bao was not here and refused to come in.
They didn't even eat the food Mrs. Li gave them.
It's almost freezing outside.
"Sister-in-law Li, hurry up and make some hot food."
"Xiaoyue, bring a jar of wine that Uncle He sent over to warm them up."
Zhang Bao ordered to Mrs. Li and Su Xiaoyue.
The two men from Bao Guard's Thirty-Six Cavalry came to Zhang Bao and knelt down in front of him.
"Sir, we met the second lady in Xiazhou!"
"This time the second lady said she would come back to pay homage to Lord Ma. We escorted her all the way back."
"We acted without authorization and did not obey your orders. Please punish us!"
The two said to Zhang Bao.
"Get up."
"I already know."
Zhang Bao quickly helped the two people up.
"How did you meet?"
"what is going on?"
Zhang Bao asked the two of them.
The two of them told Zhang Bao about their previous encounter with Ma Yan'er in Prince Jing's Mansion, and what they had left to protect Ma Yan'er.
"It's true that the Second Madam won't let us tell you the news, so there's nothing we can do about it."
The two of them were quite helpless.
"It's okay, you did the right thing."
"Now that you're back, let's stay here."
"After eating for a while, I will go back and have a good rest. Brothers, I miss you too!"
Zhang Bao nodded.
I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence.
"Sir, the Second Madam asked us to have a word with you. He knows that you will definitely find out that she is back, but she can't see you yet because the time has not yet come."
One of them said to Zhang Bao.
"The time has not come yet?"
"What's the meaning?"
Zhang Bao was a little puzzled.
"grown ups!"
"A group of people came from outside the city and said they wanted to meet the Lord. Although they were wearing men's clothes, my subordinates could tell that they were all women."
