Chapter 88 Ancient ([-]) Search
On the second day, Yan Nanxu arrived outside the city gate early in the morning and observed in the dark. Cao Yushi was worried about him and followed him all the way.

According to the reports from the attendants sent out, among the three of them, the young man who admired the dandy entered Ronghua Street early in the morning, the merchants have not come out today, and the girl has been staying in the teahouse.

Afterwards, the young master went out of the city gate first. Yan Nanxu had never seen this person before, and he didn't see anything unusual for the time being. Cao Yushi suggested sending someone to follow him, but Yan Nanxu rejected it.

The second one to come out was the girl and her maid. According to the attendants, the girl had already gone to Ronghua Street, and then went out of the city gate directly.

The folk customs of this dynasty are open, and it is not surprising that the girl's family goes out to play alone.But this is probably a girl who has not been out of the court, and it is inconvenient to show her face easily. She is wearing a curtained bamboo hat, and Yan Nanxu can't see her face clearly.

What is a bit special is the maid beside the girl, who looks stronger than ordinary girls, and keeps her head down.

"Your Highness, this woman is not easy to identify." Cao Yushi said in a low voice.

Yan Nanxu looked quietly at the crowds going in and out of the city gate, and said slowly: "Indeed, I can't see her face clearly, but..." His eyes moved behind the girl, "There is a tail."

Yan Nanxu didn't know the girl, but she recognized the two people behind her──If Yan Nanxu remembered correctly, one of them should be the deputy general of Yulin Army, Wang Jian.

The Yulin Army directly belongs to the emperor. It claims to never participate in politics. It is regarded as a forbidden army. Among them, the generals are not easy to show others. It is only accidental that Yan Nanxu can remember Wang Jian. Now the Yulin Army has long since returned to Yanjin, and the deputy general appeared here It's really suspicious.

"This girl belongs to the third prince." Yan Nanxu said firmly.

They didn't know the situation in Ronghua Street, but since the confidants sent by Yanjin chose to follow this girl, it must be that she has exposed something.

"This... shall we remind her?" Cao Yushi worried.

"Those two people are following closely. It is not wise for us to approach rashly. Follow up first."

There are a lot of people coming and going outside the capital, and if you don't pay attention to observe, you can't find anyone following them.

The girl followed the stream of people until she came to a roadside inn.This inn is neither big nor small, but because it is on the only road connecting the capital and several surrounding counties, it is always overcrowded.

As soon as the girl arrived at the inn, she went upstairs to the guest room. The two people who were following wanted to go up together, but they were stopped by the waiter, saying that they had not booked a room and could only order food on the first floor.

The two of them didn't seem to want to startle the enemy, so they temporarily sat near the door, keeping an eye on the people coming in and out of the stairs.

Yan Nanxu and Cao Yushi also followed to the inn.

Yan Nanxu left two attendants outside the inn to pay attention to the people coming and going, while he and Cao Yushi entered the inn and found a place to watch.

"Your Majesty, will the Third Highness be here? The Yulin Army has discovered this location. Isn't it very dangerous?"

Yan Nanxu looked at the crowds coming and going in the inn, and softly denied: "It's not like that. Although the inn is a convenient hiding place, its concealment and privacy are too poor. With the third prince's cautious character, this place is more suitable for hiding." A transit point.”

"What do you mean by transfer?"

"Used to guard against possible tails."

The girl went directly to the second floor, which meant that the guest room was booked in advance, so they probably didn't find the person following them, and they just took this precautionary measure.

However, guarding against the tail is the first step, and how to get rid of the tail is the key point. The two members of the Yulin Army are now staring at the door, how can the Third Prince escape?
After waiting for a long time, I didn't see the girl coming downstairs, but the two people from the Habayashi Army didn't seem in a hurry.

Yan Nanxu frowned slightly, having a bad premonition, and immediately whispered to Cao Yushi, "Let's go out first."

"Aren't you waiting for the third highness?"

"The situation is not right, let's get out of here first."

But before Yan Nanxu and the others went out, a group of officers and soldiers suddenly came to the inn, and said they would search the inn in the name of looking for missing persons, and the people in the inn were not allowed to enter or leave for the time being.

The inn was surrounded by officers and soldiers, and no one dared to break into it.

As soon as the officers and soldiers entered the inn, they went to the second floor, and every room had to be searched by opening the door.

Cao Yushi couldn't help but break into a cold sweat when he heard the knocks on the door.But after a careful search, the group of officers and soldiers returned without success. When they went downstairs, the leader made eye contact with Wang Jian and shook his head slightly.

Wang Jian looked a little panicked this time. He had been staring at the stairs the whole time, making sure that the girl had never gone downstairs and left. Moreover, the inn was simple and the guest rooms on the second floor didn't even have windows. There was no way to escape through the windows. Why? Can't find anyone now?

There must be no one on the first floor if it is not on the second floor. People probably ran away, but Wang Jian was dissatisfied and gave the leader a wink to continue searching the guests downstairs.

The leader actually received the task of finding a girl with a maid. Logically speaking, Yan Nanxu should be able to pass easily. However, when the leader passed by them, they paused and turned back to interrogate her.

In the past, when Cao Yushi was an official, he was relatively withdrawn and didn't like to attend banquets very much, so there were not many people in the court who knew him well, and he didn't have to worry about being recognized by the guards. On the contrary, Yan Nanxu was more widely known as the heir of the Southern Sichuan Prince.

At this moment, Yan Nanxu was wearing a wide hood, which almost covered half of his face. It was okay if you didn't look carefully, but it was a bit suspicious after careful observation.

The leader glanced at the two of them and asked, "Where are you from?"

Cao Yushi immediately went up to deal with him, "If you come back to the official, we are from Yinchuan."

"Yinchuan? What are you doing in the capital? Hey, what are you doing wearing a hood in the house?"

Yan Nanxu kept his head slightly lowered. Hearing the leader's question at this moment, he clenched his fingers unconsciously, and his heartbeat slowly accelerated...

If recognized...

Seeing the increasingly suspicious look in the leader's eyes, Cao Yushi was burning with anxiety. Just as he was about to explain, a rush of coughing suddenly interrupted the two of them.

Yan Nanxu covered her mouth, and began to cough uncontrollably again, looking a little out of breath for a moment.

Cao Yushi hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and said in a hurry, "This is my nephew. He has been seriously ill recently. The doctors in Yinchuan were helpless. I really had no choice but to bring him to the capital to seek medical treatment."

This reason is indeed quite convincing, but the leader is still a little suspicious, and wants to ask Yan Nanxu to take off his hood to check, but before he can speak, he sees the man coughing up blood!

This startled the leader, seeing that Cao Yushi looked nervous, he didn't seem to be faking it, so he immediately covered his mouth and nose and said in disgust, "This man must not have some kind of infectious disease! He's already sick like this, hurry up!" go out!"

Then he ordered the soldiers to let the two of them leave the inn early. Anyway, the order was to arrest a girl. Although the person didn't see the appearance, it was obvious that the person sounded like a man, and he was a sick ghost, so it didn't matter.

The two left the inn smoothly.However, it was true that Yan Nanxu was coughing up blood, Cao Yushi was in a hurry, "His Royal Highness, you..."

"It's nothing." Yan Nanxu waved his hands, and his breathing gradually calmed down. He didn't suppress his emotions just now, and let the turbulence of his mood drive the poison's properties, so he used this as an excuse to leave.

"There is no news this time, let's go back first." Cao Yushi suggested.

"No, let's go find the third prince."

"But didn't we lose it too? The girl disappeared out of thin air."

"It didn't disappear out of thin air."

Before Yan Nanxu found him, he ordered to stare at the two attendants outside the inn, and asked them if they had ever seen a slender and handsome young man and a swordsman with heavy luggage.

After briefly describing their appearance, the attendant quickly pointed out that not long ago, the two of them both went to the road leading to Hui County.

Yan Nanxu immediately asked to go to Hui County, maybe he could catch up with him.

Cao Yushi was puzzled, "Aren't we looking for a girl? Why are we looking for a young man again?"

"If this is really a transit station, there must be a step to get rid of the tail. Everyone watched the girl go upstairs, but no one saw her go downstairs, because when she went downstairs, 'she' had turned into a young man Already, gender transitions are the most likely to confuse people.”

"So, Prince, what you are saying is that the Third Highness's people have come out a long time ago? This method is really wonderful, and the people in Yanjin didn't notice it at all."

"Indeed, this precautionary measure is very good, but Yanjin can also guess that the inn is not too far from the hiding place, and there are only a few small counties around, and the third prince probably doesn't know that it has been exposed. We must Find them as soon as possible to remind them, otherwise it is only a matter of time before they are caught."
