Chapter 289 Portrait
After all, this is Jiangling City, the place where the remnants of the remnants of the beam gather. Although Li Ke is safe now, it is inevitable that others will find out and cause unnecessary troubles. Going out, so even the news that Qin Huaidao arrived in Jingzhou was not known.

The warrior Xun still didn't know that Li Ke, King of Chu, who was closely related to his wealth and future, and he couldn't find it anywhere, was actually in his mansion, and had been there for some time.

"Captain, today under the command of the Commander, notices of looking for His Highness have been pasted all over the main roads in the city, but there is still no news."

Early this morning, a group of servants from the Governor’s Mansion in Jingzhou were ordered by the samurai Xun to post bulletins everywhere, hoping to find Li Ke’s trace, but after a day, there was nothing to gain. Just after returning to the mansion, Sima Chuxiang, the governor of Jingzhou, who was sent by the samurai to host the matter, came to the mansion to speak to the samurai.

Today the samurai ordered Sima Chuxiang to go to the gate of Jiangling City, and posted notices to search for Li Ke at various important roads, while he personally led the people in the mansion to search around the north of the city, but he did not find Li Ke in one day. trace.

The samurai asked, "What about General Qin? Is there any progress?"

Chu Xiang shook his head and said: "General Qin also searched for a day in the south of the city today, and clashed with merchants in the south of the city several times, causing quite a commotion, but he was unable to find any trace of His Highness."

After hearing Chu Xiang's words, the samurai Xun's eyes dimmed a bit, and he sighed heavily.

The samurai Xun once worked in the capital, and he knew how much Li Shimin loved Li Ke. Except for the crown prince Li Chengqian, Li Shimin's preference for Li Ke was not even lower than that of his second son Li Tai.This time Li Ke was kidnapped and brought to Jingzhou. As the governor of Jingzhou, he didn't know at all. If Li Shimin really blamed him, how could he bear it?
The samurai Xun was Li Yuan's old minister, he had no support in the court, let alone any foundation, if something happened to him, no one in the court would protect him.If not, a few years later, after the death of the warrior Xun, Ying Guogong would not have dispersed for the most part, leaving only an empty shell, relying on Wu Meiniang to enter the palace to make a comeback.

"That's the case, there is no other way." The warrior Xun shook his head helplessly and sighed.

Chu Xiang looked at the appearance of the warrior Xun, and felt the same in his heart, but the matter has come to this, what can he do with a little Jingzhou Sima?
"The governor rested earlier, and he still needs to go to the East City tomorrow to search, and his subordinates will leave first." Chu Xiang also knew the current situation, and his stay here was just to hinder the warrior, so he simply bowed his hands and left.

"Go." The warrior Xun also knew that today might be fruitless, so he waved his hand and said to Chu Xiang.

"No." Chu Xiang answered, bowed and went out.

After Chu Xiang left, the warrior Xun's body seemed to be drained of strength, and he slumped down on the brocade couch.

Li Ke failed to find half a trace in one day, and I'm afraid it would be futile to search again tomorrow, and Li Shimin would never let them go on searching like this endlessly, so what should we do if it goes on like this?

This feeling of knowing that the road ahead is blocked, but can only resign himself to fate has not been felt by Samurai Xun for a long time, but this time, it took half of Samurai Xun's life.

"Miss, Ah Lang is currently serving as a director in the side hall, and is waiting for the servant girl to report."

The warrior Xun closed his eyes and lay on the brocade, his mind full of thoughts, but suddenly he heard the voice of the maid outside the door.

Hearing what the maid said, the warrior Xun knew that his beloved daughter must be looking for him, so he said loudly to the door: "It's okay, come in."

As soon as Samurai Xun finished speaking, the door of the side hall was pushed open, and Wu Meiniang, the second daughter of Samurai Xun, walked into the side hall.

"It's getting late, the second daughter hasn't rested yet, what's the matter looking for father?" Samurai Xun saw his beloved second daughter appearing in front of his eyes, and his suppressed heart seemed to relax a bit.

Wu Meiniang replied: "I just heard from people in the house that my father seems to be worried about something when he returns home today, and he has been keeping his eyes on the ground. I am worried about my father's health, so I came to see my father."

The warrior Xun who was lying on the brocade listened to Wu Meiniang's words, and there was a rare smile on his face, and he said to Wu Meiniang: "It's okay, Dad just couldn't figure it out because of the complicated affairs in the yamen, Ernan Don't worry."

In fact, the immediate matter is imminent, but at this moment, even the warrior Xun has no other choice, so what can Wu Meiniang be like a woman, even if the warrior Xun told her the truth, it was just for no reason to make her worry.

But Wu Meiniang is so smart, and she is the best at observing words and expressions, how could she believe what Samurai Xun said when she saw the way Warrior Xun looked like.

But since the warrior Xun said so, Wu Meiniang would not puncture the warrior Xun's words. Instead, she stepped forward and walked behind the warrior Xun, stretched out her hands silently and gently rubbed the shoulders of the warrior Xun.

Wu Meiniang was young and also a woman, so she lacked strength, so she was not strong enough to press the shoulder of Samurai Xun, but Samurai Xun felt that it was very useful.

The warrior Xun breathed a long sigh of relief, and said to Wu Meiniang: "Er Nan has a heart, if your two elder brothers can be as sensible as you, even if you die for your father, why worry about it?"

Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang, the sons of the samurai Xun, have always been ignorant.

The fact that Li Ke was taken captive to Jingzhou had caused him a lot of anxiety, and he was so worried that he actually said these words in front of Wu Meiniang.

Wu Meiniang heard the words, and replied: "Why did Dad suddenly say these words, although the two elder brothers are not great, but they are always supported by Dad, so don't worry too much."

In the past, Samurai Xun might not have been so worried, but now that danger is imminent, Samurai Xun will inevitably think a little more, and Samurai Xun said: "If you were a man, you would be better off, Dad can also entrust the entire Wu family to you. You don’t have to just point at your two incompetent elder brothers.”

Although Wu Meiniang is a woman, she has always been competitive. When she heard what the warrior Xun said, she immediately became unhappy, and immediately said to the warrior Xun: "It doesn't matter if my son is a daughter, although my son can't inherit my father's family business like an elder brother. , but it may not be worse than elder brother in the future."

Although Wu Meiniang is young, she has always had a high heart. Samurai Xun knows this very well. Samurai Xun looked sideways at Wu Meiniang who was arguing with him solemnly, and couldn't help laughing. He took Wu Meiniang into his arms and said to Wu Meiniang: "Okay , my second daughter is a hero among girls who is not weak, how good is that?"

Hearing Father's words, Wu Meiniang spared Samurai Xun, nodded obediently, and sat beside Samurai Xun.

Wu Meiniang was originally standing behind the warrior Xun, but she didn't notice that the warrior Xun was sitting on the brocade floor, and there was a piece of drawing paper under her hand, she didn't realize until she was sitting next to the warrior Xun.

Wu Meiniang was curious about what was drawn on the paper, so she took a look at the drawing paper from Warrior Yi, and found that the person drawn on the paper was actually someone she knew well.

Holding the drawing paper, Wu Meiniang asked the samurai Xun in puzzlement, "Does Daddy know Mr. Li too? Why do you have his portrait in your hand?"
