Chapter 203 Try Your Best

Taoist Hengxi looked at Saihan with a smile: "Aren't you afraid that she will deceive you?"

"Then I don't have any loss." Saihan said very frankly: "When I took that Han man away, I knew that Agula's desire for the Great Zhou could no longer be suppressed.

And the only person who can say this about a good elder is Agula himself, and he won’t say this to people he is not familiar with.”

Taoist Priest Hengxi raised his eyebrows. This Dada man in front of him was quite clever. "You told us because you didn't want to be the only one captured.

But the Wu family kid must have realized something was wrong and ran away."

He was right. When Shen Xiaoye and Xiao Xuanmao rushed into the house opposite the city, they saw no one living there.

She patted the little black cat and asked, "Can you capture his remaining breath?"

Fortunately, my uncle has already communicated with the commander of the garrison about the martial law. I guess from today on, no one can leave the city at will.

Now they had alerted the enemy, and they only had a vague impression of his appearance. Aruhhan and a maid from the Wu family, who had seen the real person, had not arrived yet.

As for Saihan and the boy from the Fan family, she actually didn't trust them very much, and the difficulty of the subsequent large-scale search would undoubtedly increase.

Therefore, Shen Xiaoye particularly hoped that the boy from the Wu family could leave some commonly used items in this room.

"Do you treat me like a puppy and a little leopard?" Although the little black cat complained, he still followed her instructions and went to the bedroom to search.

Fortunately, there were some freshly changed clothes left at the bedside.

The little black cat sniffed disdainfully: "I'll go after them, don't get out of the way."

"I'll try my best." Shen Xiaoye followed it out and happened to meet Taoist Master Hengxi who was holding someone. She said, "I'll go find someone first. I'll trouble you to clean up here."

"Go ahead, it's best to find the garrison to inform your uncle, there is strength in numbers." Taoist Master Hengxi knew very well that it would be difficult for a hundred people to find something hidden by one person, not to mention that the person was a living person.

Saihan sneered: "That kid has a lot of tricks up his sleeve. He can even disguise himself."

Shen Xiaoye stopped in her tracks and asked, "After he changes his appearance, will he become a completely different person?"

"Anyway, after he turned into an old woman, I couldn't recognize him." Seriously speaking, since Saihan, he still can't remember what the guy in the Wu family who sometimes behaved as a man and sometimes a woman looked like.

She then cast her gaze towards the trembling boy from the Fan family, who nodded in panic, "He looks good in women's clothes, and he also looks good in men's clothes."

"Did you find out that he was a man only when he came to your house this time?" Shen Xiaoye asked another question. She now remembered that from the information she had found in Xuanfu, she inferred that the Wu family was still very caring towards the several families who rented their houses in the back alley, but only the Fan family could live at the exit of the tunnel.

The boy from the Fan family hesitated for two breaths, and when the Taoist priest raised his whisk in front of him, he immediately replied, "Yes and no, I once drove him out of the city and saw him waiting for his turn, so I doubted him."

"Meow!" Are you still going to chase him? The little black cat felt that there was no point in staying.

Hearing the voice, Shen Xiaoye put it down, nodded slightly to the Taoist priest, and quickly caught up with the little black cat.

The cat ran out of the alley. There were many pedestrians on the street. It suddenly stopped and looked left and sniffed right.

In less than a moment, it attracted the attention of passers-by. Some people gathered around it, pointed at it and said happily what a pretty cat it was.

When Shen Xiaoye caught up, there were also children slowly approaching the little black cat, wanting to touch it.

She picked up the cat and smiled at everyone, "My cat likes to go out on the street to play. Please lend me some light."

When the passers-by saw the cat's owner coming, they dispersed. The children who didn't get to touch the cat even cried and made a fuss with the adults.

Shen Xiaoye naturally had no time to stay and coax the child. She gave the coat rolled up in her hand to the little black cat to smell again, and then followed its instructions and headed west.

Yanghe City currently has two gates, the east and west gates, and a south gate, so more personnel have been assigned to these places.

The commander of the garrison did not agree to search the city during the day. He arranged to search it at night because the curfew would make the search more convenient.

Shen Changsui and a captain of a garrison were assigned to the West Gate, which was the only way to Datong.

As soon as the martial law order was issued, a lot of people gathered here to come in and out.

Shen Changsui looked at the long procession leaving the city, which was noisy and chaotic because the soldiers shouted them away, and frowned and said, "Captain Qi, there may be the person we are looking for here. Before we drive them all away, can we check them out?

Anyone from Yanghe Guard can return home as soon as possible, and those who are not from this Guard should gather aside."

"Mr. Shen, we still have to check it tonight, why bother doing it twice?

However, if you can provide a portrait, we can follow it to find the person." Captain Qi was not very happy with him who suddenly appeared.

He had followed the emperor in battles for many years before he was promoted to the rank of a thousand households, and yet this pale-faced young scholar in front of him, who looked less than eighteen years old and had no official position, was ordering him around?

As for Shen Changsui, he couldn't produce any portraits. Not to mention that he had never seen the children of the Wu family, even if he had, drawing portraits was not his specialty.

If you want to draw people based on descriptions, Lu Guan is more reliable.

He secretly sighed, "Then we can only wait for Captain Xia to bring people to identify him."

"Why are you so anxious? Once someone enters our city, as long as the commander says not to let them leave the city, not even a fly can fly out." Captain Qi smiled proudly.

He also said: "I am busy with military affairs, so I will leave a centurion here to accompany you.

"Well, Old Xing, come here and keep watch over Master Shen for a while."

"Understood sir." The captain he called over accepted the order, and he waved his hand and prepared to leave.

A little further away, Bian Xian watched Shen Changsui seeing people off without any expression. He could not help much. After all, he only had the honorary title of a small flag, which was many levels lower than the other person's actual title of a thousand households.

He was thinking about chatting more with Master Shen later, as the border army generals valued strength the most.

Then I heard someone shouting, "Brother Bian."

"Miss Shen, why are you here alone? Where is the Taoist priest?" Bian Xian immediately squeezed through the crowd to greet her. He looked left and right, but had not seen Taoist priest Hengxi.

"This is a border town. It's dangerous for you to walk alone." Basically, the people in border towns are rough and sometimes conflicts may arise even when they are drinking tea on the street.

Shen Xiaoye bent over and picked up the cat, looked at his uncle who was chatting with someone from a distance, then retracted his gaze and said, "With it here, I am not alone.

Brother Bian, who is this from my uncle's side? I have an important discovery here."

"It's a captain from Yanghewei. I'll go report it right away." Bian Xian believed Shen Xiaoye. When he quickly came to Shen Changsui, the captain had already mounted his horse and left.

When Shen Changsui and Shen Xiaoye met and exchanged information, he patted the little black cat to express his affection and said, "There are quite a few people gathered here. If I let the little cat identify them one by one..."

"Meow!" Impossible. The smell was too mixed and it would be exhausted to death. The little black cat cried several times in protest.

Shen Xiaoye consoled him, "We won't use you like this, our people will be here soon.

Fourth uncle, has there been any news about when Guard Xia and his party will arrive?"
