Chapter 253 Tracking
Guo Shun glanced at Su Mei and saw that the gentleness on her face was gone.
"Who made my eldest brother so angry?" Guo Shun couldn't think of who it was. Could it be that there was an enemy on this border?
"Someone from the Wu family" Guo Tong gritted his teeth.
Guo Shun's head buzzed: "The Wu family in Anyang City? Who?"
He wanted to tear them to pieces right away.
Su Mei continued, "Do you remember Xia Xueqing, the daughter-in-law of the Wu family who often went to Youranju to deliver food?"
Of course Guo Shun remembered that if it weren't for her and her elder brother, they wouldn't have fallen to this point.
"She came to the border? What is she doing here?" Guo Shun didn't expect her to come.
Su Mei explained: "We didn't see Xia Xueqing, we saw Jiang Yi, the servant beside her."
Seeing Guo Shun's puzzled look, he continued to explain: "No matter where Xia Xueqing goes, Jiang Yi follows her. When Jiang Yi comes to the border..."
Guo Shun immediately responded: "Then Xia Xueqing must have come to the border."
Guo Tong snorted coldly: "Humph, all the tricks they used before were nothing more than bringing some ingredients from the Western Regions that we don't have in the Great Zhou. This time we will make sure she never comes back!"
Guo Shun looked at Guo Tong's sinister eyes and his eyebrows jumped: "Brother, what should we do?"
Guo Tong lowered his eyelids and thought for a moment: "How many men do you have now?"
Guo Shun: "There are quite a few people working with me, but only 4 or 5 of them are really useful"
Guo Tong turned around and sat on the chair: "You ask your people to check the people and caravans that have just arrived in Longze Town to see if there are any coming from Anyang."
Guo Shun's eyes sparkled. He agreed immediately and turned around and walked out.
At noon that day, Cheng Niu came back from outside and went straight to Gao Yi.
"Brother Gao, can we have lunch together at noon?" Cheng Niu clasped his hands together.
Gao Yi agreed very happily: "Guardian Cheng invites me, I will definitely go, you and I will drink three cups together"
A quarter of an hour later, the two were sitting in Cheng Niu's room.
"Brother Gao, I went to the street today and found some people asking in various inns whether there were any caravans coming from Anyang City?" Cheng Niu's face was unusually serious at this time.
Gao Yi guessed that Guard Cheng must have something to tell him, but he didn't expect that someone was asking about the caravan from Anyang City.
So what is their purpose?
Gao Yi asked: "Do you know who they are?"
Cheng Niu recalled: "They looked like locals, and they were all ordinary young men, without any kung fu skills."
Gao Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Cheng Niu only reacted at this time: "Brother Gao, do you think it's someone who is going to assassinate us on the road?"
Gao Yi was sure at this time: "It's not those people, but who is this person?"
Gao Yi’s first reaction was that these people were coming for Qing’er.
He always believed in his intuition and judgment, but this was Qing'er's first time out of Anyang City, and it was impossible for her to have either enemies or friends on the border.
Of course, if it is a friend or relative, you can look for him/her openly.
Cheng Niu didn't think about Xue Qing, but just felt that something was strange, so he discussed it with Gao Yi.
Gao Yi ate a few mouthfuls of food in a hurry, said goodbye to Cheng Niu and said he was going to arrange internal matters.
I went down to the second floor and went to the room where the staff of Wenxiangju lived.
When the people who were eating saw Gao Yi coming in with a serious face, they put down their chopsticks and stood up to greet him: "Gao Yi, please come in."
Gao Yi closed the door and sat down at the table very naturally: "Everyone sit down"
After everyone was seated, Gao Yi waved his hand, and everyone's heads came together.
Quarter of an hour later, Gao Yi went upstairs and the others went out.
As soon as they left the house, Guo Shun entered the lobby of the inn, followed by a thin young man. After they came in, they found a secluded seat and sat down.
The waiter came over with a kettle in hand and asked: "Would you like to stay overnight or stay the night, gentlemen?"
Guo Shun did not respond, and the thin young man asked, "Are there any No. 1 rooms left?"
The waiter was just asking out of habit. In fact, the store was already full and there were no empty rooms at all.
Then he replied apologetically: "Oh sir, I'm so sorry! I made this mistake. Our restaurant is full."
The thin man sighed: "Hey, we went to several inns, but they were all full. I don't know why!"
The waiter smiled and said, "There is another caravan coming from our Great Zhou. There are more than a hundred people. All the inns around are full."
At this time, Guo Shun couldn't help but ask, "It's just after the New Year, where did the caravan come from?"
The waiter poured them some water and said, "It is said that the Western Region caravan comes from Anyang City. They come here three or four times a year."
Guo Shun picked up the water cup and took a sip: "I heard that this Western Region caravan also has female relatives?"
The waiter looked confused: "I don't see any female relatives. No, it's too hard. But there will be a few handsome young men there." The waiter chuckled.
"What would you like to eat, sirs?" The waiter finally remembered his job.
The thin man ordered two dishes at random.
The waiter felt a little unhappy when he saw that the two grown men had only ordered two dishes after chatting for such a long time, but he did not show it. He said a few polite words and went to the kitchen.
Guo Shun gave the thin man a wink, and the man quickly left the inn.
The thin man left the inn and went straight to Guo Tong's shop to call Su Mei.
Tell her to go to Bafang Inn quickly to recognize the person.
When Su Mei heard that the caravan coming from Anyang City had been found, she rushed to the Bafang Inn without stopping.
The three of them sat at the table in the hall to see if they would see Xia Xueqing. At this time, Jiang Yi and Xue Qing were going downstairs.
Su Mei saw Xia Xueqing dressed in men's clothes. At first glance, he looked like a handsome young man, but a closer look revealed that she was a woman.
Although Xue Qing's appearance had changed a lot at this time, Su Mei still recognized her at a glance.
She quickly lowered her head, for fear of being recognized by Xue Qing. Guo Shun also realized from the expression on Su Mei's face that the person was Xia Xueqing.
After Jiang Yi and Xia Xueqing went out, the thin man followed them out.
Then Su Mei and Guo Shun returned to their shop.
When Guo Tong learned that Xia Xueqing had also come to Longze Town, he began to plan to assassinate Xia Xueqing.
Su Mei didn't know whether she was nervous or excited, her heart started beating rapidly involuntarily.
Guo Tong did not hide his excitement at all: "Since she lives in Bafang Inn, let's let her live there forever."
The three of them lowered their heads and planned.
On their roof, Gao Yihe and Qian Er lay on the tiles, listening carefully to their plan.
When Gao Yi followed Guo Shun here, he understood everything. It turned out that Manager Guo's brother had brought a woman to the border.
But who is this woman?
When Gao Yi and Xue Zhong lived in the Wu family, Su Mei had not yet entered the Wu family, so they had never met.
