Chapter 139
Wei Jue felt uneasy when he was on duty today, but there were many things to do today, and he also had to patrol the military camp, which was something he had to do regularly.
When he finished his work and just walked out of the military camp gate, he found a guard standing in front of the gate.
He recognized that he was the guard he had assigned to Ye Xi to go out with, and his temples tightened when he saw him here.
"What's the matter?" Wei Jue's voice was low and a little cold.
"Sir, Miss Ye she, she..." The guard knelt down quickly, and his joy at seeing you just now turned into nervousness.
"What's wrong with her? Tell me!" Wei Jue growled.
"Miss Ye is missing. Miss Liusu said that she might have run away and asked me to report this to the Lord." The guard said tremblingly.
Wei Jue's mind went blank at first, thinking he had misheard.
After he came to his senses and confirmed that he had not heard wrong, he was filled with uncontrollable anger and felt like the top of his head was about to smoke. He couldn't help but kick him.
"waste!"
No wonder I feel so uneasy today. So that’s why! So that’s why!
He immediately mounted his horse and galloped towards the city.
Xue Jiugang, who was following behind, was also stunned when he heard it, then quickly mounted his horse and caught up. The guard who was kicked to the ground quickly got up, mounted his horse and caught up.
This time is different from the previous bandit suppression. Military troops cannot be mobilized at will for private matters. Wei Jue also does not want to give his political enemies a chance to impeach him, so he returns to the Command Headquarters first.
Soldiers from the department were called in to search, and the order was given to check all the girls in Suzhou city and within a twenty-mile radius outside the city in the name of searching for spies.
Ye Xi's characteristics had also been explained, and all suspicious and uncertain targets were detained and would be released after their identities were verified. As a result, the city of Suzhou began to be in turmoil again.
Because the guard who reported the news along the way told Wei Jue that Ye Xi had not been seen for more than two hours, and these two hours were enough for her to run very far.
So even when Wei Jue ordered a city search, he didn't think he would find her. He just wanted to make sure she was not in Suzhou City.
However, this city search was not completely ineffective. The noise scared some scoundrels.
Those people accidentally revealed their identities and were caught by the searching soldiers. This is a story for later.
Wei Jue asked someone to bring Liusu back so he could question her.
Liusu rode on horseback and searched for Ye Xi within a ten-mile radius outside the city without success. She returned to the city and was informed by the guards at the city gate that she had to meet Wei Jue. At this time, three hours had passed since Ye Xi disappeared.
As soon as Liusu arrived at the Command Headquarters and saw Wei Jue, she knelt down. The look in Wei Jue's eyes when he looked at her was enough to kill her. If he didn't have something to ask, he really wanted to stab Liusu first.
"Tell me what happened in detail. Don't leave out any details. It depends on your luck whether I can let you go."
"Yes." Liusu swallowed and then told the story in detail about what happened today.
Ye Xi went out as usual, and Liusu first accompanied Ye Xi to Huilong Money House.
She had gotten used to Ye Xi coming over from time to time, sometimes to withdraw money and sometimes to deposit money, but mostly to deposit money.
Liusu discovered that this time Ye Xi not only saved the silver, but also took off the jade pendant around her neck.
He also said to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, please take a look at my jade pendant. Although the quality is not good, it is still worth a few dollars. Can you exchange it for silver and deposit it for me? I am tired of wearing it and want to change it for another one."
