"Okay, come, take the young lady away. She won't be allowed out tomorrow during the Flower Goddess Festival."

Sheng Ruo Lingqi screamed and cried, "Dad, how could you do this? I finally found someone I like, but you don't agree. Are you doing this to my mother? Before my mother died, she asked you to take good care of me, but you don't even agree that your daughter has someone she likes. I hate you."

When mentioning his first wife, City Lord Sheng's face was filled with sorrow.

He waved his hand and said, "What are you still standing there for? Take the young lady away."

Sheng Ruoling was taken away by the arm, and she continued to utter hurtful words to City Lord Sheng.

City Lord Sheng sighed. In those days, bandits were rampant, killing civilians, burning, killing and looting. Jingzhou City had also suffered from this disaster. In order to save him, his wife blocked an arrow for him and died on the spot.

This has always been a pain in his heart.

He has never remarried in many years and has only one daughter.

Maybe it was because he was spoiled too much since childhood that he developed such a character. It was too late for him to regret. He just hoped that Gu Wen would leave Jingzhou City as soon as possible. He didn't know why he came here.

The entire city list of Jingzhou City was taken away, including both the civilians in Jingzhou and outsiders.

He guessed that the person who mattered to General Gu so much that he traveled thousands of miles from the capital to Jiangnan must be an important criminal of the imperial court who had killed many people.

City Lord Sheng clasped his hands together and chanted "Amitabha", praying to God. He only hoped that General Gu would quickly find the imperial criminal and leave Jingzhou City quickly, otherwise his daughter's soul would be taken away and would never come back.

City Lord Sheng closed his eyes and sighed heavily.

Gu Wen, who City Lord Sheng was anxiously waiting for to leave, was checking the roster.

Fei Jian, Fei Hu Shui and Gu Wen worked tirelessly for two days and two nights, and finally identified a few suspicious outsiders who might be Tang Yu.

The time and favorite geographical location all match.

Fei Jian: "General, there are thirteen people in total. Shall we go check them out now? If it's the lady, then everyone will be happy."

Gu Wen pinched his sore temples, stayed awake for two days and two nights, and finally found thirteen similar ones.

"Let's go and check it out now." He couldn't bear it for a moment. As long as he thought that he might meet Yu'er later, his heart was filled with indescribable joy and sour longing.

It has been three years, and he doesn't know how he got through these three years. There has not been a single moment when he didn't think about her.

He blamed himself all the time. If he had told her about his plan in advance, if he had sent more people to protect her, if he had tried to take advantage of the Ming family to marry her, but instead used his military merits and power to directly ask the emperor for a marriage, would these things not have happened?

After all, he was planning to retire with the General's Mansion. Power was like a hot potato to him. The past was just a thing of the past. Only she was the most important.

Gu Wen stood up, took the detailed addresses of the thirteen houses, and strode out of the inn room.

Fei Jian and Fei Hu immediately followed.

Gu Wen left the inn, jumped on the horse and pulled the reins.

Fei Hu was so sleepy that he could hardly open his eyes. "Hey, Master, please wait for us. There is no need to rush!"

Fei Jian sat on his horse and reached out to knock Fei Hu's forehead hard, "Stupid, the eldest master hasn't seen the lady for a long time, so of course he misses her. What are you shouting for? What if your identity is exposed? Shut up!"

Fei Hu covered his forehead and muttered, "I haven't slept for two days and two nights, and now I have to work. If I'm tired, it will cause problems to drive the horse. Ouch!"
