Chapter 41 She Won't Come Back

The man heard the servant's report and tried to remain calm so as not to let Xiao Lingche see the clues. He didn't want to continue to deal with him, so he said

"Your maid died a long time ago. Her body was thrown into a mass grave. Now it is probably eaten by wild dogs. I don't have the person you are looking for in Hua Man Lou. Please show up."

After saying that, he turned around and strode away.

Xiao Lingche didn't believe it at all. He had just seen the servant say something to him. He looked at him and saw that the other person looked obviously panicked.

"If you don't hand him over, don't blame me for being rude."

Xiao Lingche thrust his sword forward, but was blocked by a strong internal force. Hua Manlou's killer reputation was indeed well-deserved.

"Go together"

Qingshi ordered

The two sides began to fight desperately. Xiao Lingche wanted to break out of the encirclement and rush into Hua Manlou, but he was surrounded by Xuan Lie and Chen Jian and could not escape.

The man returned to the dining area

"Yun'er, where's Qingge?"

"Dad, Yun'er doesn't know either. My sister just said she went out for a while and never came back. Yun'er was worried about her and went out to look for her, but she couldn't find her anywhere."

There are many traps here, and she can't get out without someone to lead the way, unless... it's Ning Shuang. Apart from her, who else has the courage to take her out?

Looking at her father's face, Yun'er couldn't help but worry

"Daddy, nothing will happen to my sister, right?"

"She should be fine."

"Dad, do you know where she is? Let's go find her."

"She probably... won't come back again."

The man's hands were tightly holding the chair, and the veins on his hands were bulging. She left so quickly, desperate to escape from here, without even giving him a chance to explain, how could she come back?

"Ah... why? I still want her to play with me."

Yun'er was very sad. He didn't know what happened to make his sister leave here without saying goodbye to him.

"I'm sorry Yun'er, she must think daddy is a bad person"

Hua Manlou was indeed sorry for her, and he tried his best to make amends but it seemed to be of no avail.

Yun'er cried sadly. He didn't know what was going on between the adults. He only knew that his best fairy sister was gone and he became lonely again.

At this time, the two teams at the door were both defeated, but Hua Manlou still had the upper hand.

Xiao Lingche half-knelt on the ground, using his sword to support himself. Although he was unharmed, he was tired after fighting for so long.

Chen Jian and Xuan Lie were more or less injured. They couldn't help but sigh that the God of War was the God of War, with explosive strength. If they hadn't held him back, he would have already broken in.

At this time, the host came back and said to Xiao Lingche

"The person you are looking for is definitely not here with me. It will do you no good to continue fighting like this."

"Why should I trust you?"

"I guarantee this with Hua Manlou's reputation. Believe it or not, it's up to you."

"Then why did you go in so hurriedly?"

"I'm going to take care of family matters. Does Prince Xuan have to take care of this?"

Xiao Lingche paused for a moment. Could it be that he was overthinking it?

Regardless of Xiao Lingche's reaction, the host gave the order

"withdraw"

"There are many traps here. If you want to force your way in, don't blame me for not warning you."

All people in Huamanlou must retreat

"My lord, what should we do now?"

Qingshi stepped forward to help Xiao Lingche up, Xiao Lingche's eyes dimmed.

"If what he said is true, then Xiyan might be in great danger."

He still couldn't believe that Xiyan was gone just like that.

"Retreat"

He sheathed his sword dejectedly and ordered a retreat. He had lost his appetite for the past few days and had lost a lot of weight. The once high-spirited god of war had lost his former charm.

Qingshi didn't dare to step forward to dissuade him, and could only watch the prince go back dejectedly. This love is really hurtful. Alas, he shook his head helplessly.

Ye Qingge rode her horse at full speed until she finally reached the wide official road. Fortunately, she had a lantern, otherwise she would not be able to see anything in the darkness. On the official road, there were inns or teahouses every few miles, catering to passing guests.

She had been out for so long, so she thought she wouldn't be caught. She took out the mask she had brought with her and put it on, which would make it easier to move around.

However, what she didn't know was that the host and Xuan Lie followed her all the way.

"Master, why don't you stop her?"

He took off his mask, revealing a handsome face. "A man as beautiful as jade" and "a young master without equal" probably describe him.

"She sees me as an enemy now, and probably doesn't want to see me."

"But that matter has nothing to do with you, and you also punished the person who did it. If you explain it to her clearly, she will forgive you."

"As the owner of Hua Man Lou, I have nothing to do with this matter. I just hope she doesn't hate me."

Seeing Ye Qingge enter the inn, they followed suit.

"Are you two guests staying at the hotel?"

The innkeeper greeted us with a smile

"Didn't a girl just come in and stay at the hotel?"

"There is a girl staying at the hotel."

"Open a room next to hers for us."

The boss is a bit embarrassed

"The room next to that girl is full, how about opening another one for you two?"

Xuan Lie took out two gold ingots and placed them in front of the boss

"We want the room next to her."

The boss's eyes lit up when he saw the gold

"Sir, please wait a moment, I will arrange it right away."

The master and servant moved into the room next to Ye Qingge. Finally, the host said to the innkeeper:

"Don't let her know that we live next door to her. Also, this money is for you. She probably doesn't have any money on her. Provide her with whatever she needs."

The boss took the gold and said with a smile

"She really had no money, so she mortgaged her horse to me."

"This gold is enough for her to stay in the hotel. Return the horse to her."

"This... is hard for me to say."

He took out another ingot of gold

"Is it enough?"

"That's enough, hey, I will definitely get it done for you."

The boss took the gold and left happily

Ye Qingge had no idea what was happening next door. She was a little tired after traveling for half a day, so she washed up and lay down on the bed to rest.

"Dad and the others should be returning to Beijing soon. I wonder where they are now. I'm walking along the official road. I wonder if I can run into them."

She was feeling upset at the moment. She had left in such a hurry that she didn't bring anything valuable with her. Now she could only pawn her horse to the innkeeper. Apart from the money for food and accommodation, the owner agreed to give her some extra money, but she would have to walk tomorrow. What a poor woman she was.

God had been playing one joke after another on her. She was so angry that she almost laughed. This journey had been a bumpy one. She tossed and turned for a long time, and then she fell asleep. After all, she was outside, and she didn't dare to sleep too deeply. Her eyelids sometimes closed and sometimes opened, and before long she was completely asleep.

The sound of shallow breathing could be heard. The two people next door had strong internal strength and could hear the movement here. They were sure that Ye Qingge had fallen asleep.

"Go and find out where General Ye Qing and the others are. There are several official roads back to the capital. Lead them along this one."

"Yes, Master, I will do it right away."

Xuan Lie left quietly.
