Transmigrating into a Turbulent Era as a Soldier, Starting with Marrying a Wife

Li Yuan walked to the female Marquis's side and said.

"Marquis, I'll go out for a walk and look for clues about Miss Bai."

The female Marquis nodded and said.

"Okay, be careful."

Li Yuan then left Jingyue Pavilion with Xiao He.

He didn't go far, but instead went up to the third floor of a teahouse not far away.

This time, Xiao He didn't run away, but just followed Li Yuan obediently.

After going up to the teahouse, Li Yuan casually ordered a pot of tea and sat down by the window.

The view here was excellent, and he could basically overlook the entire Yunhua Lane.

Li Yuan looked out the window for a while, then called Xiao He behind him over.

Then, pointing to the street entrance, he said to the several beggars looking around.

"Those kids, are they here to find you?"

Xiao He looked out the window, her expression slightly moved.

She seemed a little touched, but also a little dissatisfied.

She didn't know what she was muttering in her mouth.

Li Yuan smiled slightly, took out a tael of silver from his pocket, about three qian or so.

Then he handed it to Xiao He and said.

"Go to the food shop on the roadside and buy some pastries and fruits, and distribute them to those beggars, let them fill their stomachs first."

Xiao He looked at Li Yuan with some doubts.

Why was this person suddenly showing kindness?

Li Yuan said.

"I need them to do some work later."

"Don't worry, it's just to help find someone."

"So give them enough to eat, don't let them go hungry."

Xiao He then understood that this person wanted to use the beggars to work.

She thought to herself, I knew that officials wouldn't give people food for nothing.

However, this was also a good thing, at least these children could get a full meal.

Xiao He took the silver and went to the pastry shop downstairs to buy some white steamed buns and meat pies.

Then she went out to find the beggars.

The little beggars all looked surprised when they saw Xiao He.

Li Yuan stood upstairs watching, the beggars seemed to want to pull Xiao He away.

Xiao He just shook her head, distributed the pastries in her hand to them, and told them something to wait.

Then she turned back and returned to Li Yuan.

Li Yuan was quite satisfied that Xiao He was so trustworthy.

This was a test.

If Xiao He had taken the silver and left, Li Yuan would not have looked for her again.

Then her fate would only be a small thief and beggar wandering the streets.

"What do you need us to do?"

Xiao He asked Li Yuan.

"Wait."

Li Yuan's answer was only one word.

Hearing Li Yuan's answer, Xiao He stopped talking.

They would definitely leave an observation post nearby to observe the follow-up situation.

The Marquis of Longxiang sent hundreds of personal soldiers, and the yamen of Qingzhou Prefecture participated.

Now these people are all going in and out of the Jingyue Pavilion.

With such a big battle, the observation post would definitely notice something was wrong.

They should be able to determine that they had kidnapped the wrong person.

So the observation post would definitely send someone to inform their superior.

What Li Yuan needed to do was to find the location of the observation post.

Li Yuan observed for a while.

During this period, some windows did open, and some people looked in the direction of Jingyue Pavilion.

However, he could see that these people were mostly just curious.

What Li Yuan was really concerned about were those windows that were only opened a crack for observation.

Facts proved that his judgment was correct.

Fifty steps away from Jingyue Pavilion, there was a two-story building.

The window on the second floor was slightly opened a crack.

He could see the figure shaking inside the window.

Li Yuan observed that window for a long time, and he roughly determined in his heart that it should be the villain's observation post.

Sure enough, not long after, the wooden door on the first floor was pushed open, and a thin man in gray clothes walked out.

He looked left and right at the alley, made sure that no one around was paying attention to him, and looked in the direction of Jingyue Pavilion.

Then he hurried towards the north of the city.

Looking at his figure, a smile appeared on the corner of Li Yuan's mouth.

He pointed to the man's back and instructed Xiao He next to him.

"Xiao He, you follow him closely and find out where he is going?"

"Remember, don't let him find out."

"I'll be behind you, let the beggars tell me his movements at any time."

Xiao He nodded.

She felt that she had eaten the pastries given by this person.

Helping him do things was fair.

So she quickly took the beggars and followed the gray-clothed man in the direction he was going.

Li Yuan observed upstairs for a while, confirming that the man just now was not a decoy.

Then he went downstairs to find the Marquis and Zhao Yong.

After explaining the situation to the Marquis of Longxiang, the female Marquis assigned dozens of personal guards to Li Yuan.

So Li Yuan followed the beggars not too far or too close, and also rushed towards the north of the city.

Along the way, Xiao He directed several beggars to constantly send messages to Li Yuan.

At first, these dirty little children didn't dare to speak when they saw Li Yuan.

However, Li Yuan was very good at communicating with these beggars, and he also carried a bag of fruits with him.

As long as the news brought by the beggars was valuable, they would definitely get a fruit as a reward from him.

Later, these beggars became familiar with Li Yuan.

Finally, under the guidance of the beggars, Li Yuan and his party touched a residential house in the northern district.

Gray walls and gray tiles, no different from other houses in Qingzhou City.

Xiao He stood in front of Li Yuan, pointing to the house not far away and said.

"That gray-clothed man went in here."

"He's been inside for about two quarters of an hour."

"He hasn't come out yet."

Li Yuan nodded and waved.

Dozens of Longxiang personal soldiers spread out and surrounded the house.

Li Yuan was in the front, Zhao Yong and Zheng Biao were in the back, and seven or eight elites directly crashed open the outer door of the house and rushed in through the main entrance.

Suddenly, strangers rushed in, and some people in the house were frightened and screamed.

Li Yuan didn't waste any words, he directly waved his hand, and the Longxiang personal guards swarmed up.

How could these men be a match for the Longxiang elites, in just one encounter.

The three men were directly knocked down by the personal guards, tied up, and their weapons were confiscated.

There were also several old women in the house, who were frightened by the sudden change and wailed loudly.

Li Yuan walked over to check them one by one, and sure enough, among the three men, he found the gray-clothed man who had just delivered the message.

At this time, this guy had his hands tied by the personal guards, and he looked at everyone with terrified eyes.

Li Yuan picked him up and shouted.

"Speak! Where are the people you kidnapped!"

Although the man's lips were trembling, he was still stubborn.

"What... what kidnapping, I don't know."

Without saying anything, Li Yuan directly swung his arm and beat him up.

How could the gray-clothed man withstand Li Yuan's beating.

He immediately begged for mercy.

"Don't hit me, I'll talk, I'll talk."

"Below, below, in the ground."

Li Yuan immediately searched the house with Zhao Yong and the others.

Sure enough, they found the entrance to a basement.

Opening the basement, a fishy smell overflowed.

Zhao Yong took the lead and jumped down directly.

Before long, several personal guards who went down successively carried up three women.

They were all in a state of mental confusion.

Including Marquis Bai Jing, they all rushed up to check.

The three women were closing their eyes and sleeping at this time, and they all looked good.

However, to their disappointment, Marquis Bai Jing's younger sister, Bai Yuxuan, was not among the three.

Li Yuan walked down to the cellar, checked around and found nothing missing.

Then he picked up the gray-clothed man again.

"Speak! Where did the woman you kidnapped at Jingyue Pavilion go?!"
