After hearing this, Chu Qinglan quickly thanked the villagers, and then she and Mo Beiyu followed the villagers' guidance and walked all the way to the southwest.

After they walked to the southwest for a while, they saw a willow tree and a dilapidated old house under the willow tree from a distance.

That house should be Changdong's home.

Next to Chang Dong's house is another old dilapidated house.

The door of that house was half open, and people could still be vaguely seen walking up and down inside the house.

After Chu Qinglan and Mo Beiyu took a few glances, they resolutely walked towards the house next door.

When I got closer, I saw a middle-aged man inside the house.

The middle-aged man had dark skin and a bald head. Even in the dark, he was particularly eye-catching. The middle-aged man should be the Li Tietou that the villager said before.

Seeing this, Chu Qinglan didn't dare to waste time, and stepped forward to knock on the door decisively: "Excuse me, are you Li Tietou?"

The middle-aged man in the room poked his head out from behind the door immediately after hearing the words: "I am, who are you two looking for?"

"Hi, we're here to see you."

Li Tietou couldn't help frowning when he heard it, and while looking at Chu and Qinlan, he asked, "Looking for me? But I don't know you! Did you find the wrong person?"

We did not find the wrong person. To be precise, we came to find Chang Dong's parents in the first place.I met an old man at the intersection just now. He said that Changdong's parents have moved away, and it was the two of us who wanted to ask you.You should know Changdong's parents, right? They live next door to you? "

"Changdong's parents, then I must know her. Lao Ruan and I are still brothers who have been worshiped before. Do you have something to do with him?"

"It's like this, Changdong and I are good friends, but something happened to Changdong, so I came to her house specially to help her see how her parents are doing, I never thought about her parents She moved away a few days ago, and now I don't know where her parents moved, so the two of us thought to come over and ask you, to see if you know where her family moved to? "

"You really asked the right person!" Li Tietou said very straightforwardly, "Lao Ruan told me before he moved away that there is a pier in Lincheng County in the south called Fengshun Wharf. In the business of boat merchants, ordinary people can get a lot of money as long as they have a little strength to go there to do work. His family has been short of money, so he went there. If you go to Lincheng County for a while Circle, if you inquire carefully, you will definitely be able to inquire about their family!"

At this point, Li Tietou suddenly emphasized again: "Lincheng County, Fengshun Wharf, don't go to the wrong place!"

Chu Qinglan listened, silently keeping these two place names firmly in her heart, and thanking each other with a nod

Mo Beiyu, who had been silent on the side, saw all this, but couldn't help frowning slightly.

For some reason, he always felt that this trip went really smoothly. Not only did he not encounter any accidents on the way, but after arriving here, he also found out the whereabouts of Changdong's parents so quickly, and even asked about it. very clear.

For a while, he couldn't help but wonder if he was being overwhelmed, or if there was something really wrong.

But he was just thinking about it in his own heart. In front of outsiders, he didn't dare to say anything, and he didn't even show any strange expression on his face.

But when he left and was sure that the villager named Li Tietou could not hear them, he asked, "Lan'er, do you think our trip went too smoothly?" ?”

"Why did you say that suddenly?" Chu Qinglan knew him very well, until he must have noticed something, otherwise he would never have asked her such a question.

Mo Beiyu was also unambiguous about this, and said truthfully: "Isn't it? We wanted to find the residence of Changdong's family. This eunuch who claimed to be a fellow of Changdong told us Changdong's hometown directly. After coming here , we wanted to find Changdong's parents. As soon as we arrived at the village, villagers told us that Changdong's parents had already moved away. After we went to the place where Changdong's parents lived before, we wanted to find out about Changdong's father. Where did mother move to, someone immediately told us that Changdong's father and mother had gone to Lincheng County."

He said again: "That alone is fine, the other party even knows the name of the pier where Chang Dong's father and mother go. They also know it clearly, and they don't have the slightest suspicion and vigilance towards us. We can tell us what we want to know, It even reminded us not to look in the wrong place just now."

Chu Qinglan didn't think much of it at first, but when she heard him say that, she suddenly felt that things were going well.

I couldn't help but nodded thoughtfully for a while, and said: "I didn't think so at first, but after hearing what you said, I also felt that it was indeed too smooth, but I still can't figure it out, if all of this is caused by someone If it is deliberately manipulating, what is the purpose of the other party? Is this just to let us find Chang Dong's parents smoothly? But in this way, is the other party not afraid that we will know what Chang Dong said? Or Are you saying that this person is here to help us?"

Mo Beiyu said disapprovingly: "How can there be so many good things for no reason in this world? Besides, if the other party really came to help us, why didn't they just keep Chang Dong's parents, but spent such a big time lock up?"

After being asked such a question, Chu Qinglan couldn't help but fell into silence.

That's right, if the other party really wants to help them secretly, then according to the normal situation, it should be to keep Chang Dong's parents directly, or send Chang Dong's parents to them instead of going around After such a big circle, tell them the whereabouts of Changdong's parents, and then let them find it by themselves.

You must know that Lincheng County is not close to here, and it is even farther away from the imperial palace. It is impossible to return to the imperial palace without a month and a half.

And they have wasted a lot of time outside during this period. Once they divert to Lincheng County, the time spent outside will naturally increase. I can't take care of it anymore.

At that time, even if there is any accident in the palace, the two of them will not be able to come back to help...

and many more!

Chu Qinglan's mind was clever, and she thought of something in a trance!
That's right, why did she almost forget, and it was because she and Mo Beiyu spent a lot of time in Beiyi that Concubine Shu took advantage of the loophole, and successfully caused the queen to be placed under house arrest.

If they leave again this time, then the same thing is very likely to happen again.

Maybe, as he said just now, some people are not helping them in secret, not guiding them in the dark, but trying to trick them to Lincheng County, so far away from the emperor, Once there is a sudden change in the palace, let alone rushing back to rescue in time, it will be difficult to get the news of Kilometer in time.

Although this is just her guess, once it comes true, it will be the worst.

Chu Qinglan didn't dare to continue thinking wildly, but hurriedly told him all her guesses, and finally said: "I don't know if it's because I'm overthinking or what, I'm just overthinking, so what's the matter?" Okay, but if this matter is really as I guessed, then it will be a big deal, so we have to quickly think of a way to get the best of both worlds."

Mo Beiyu nodded: "I have already considered what you said, but we have no way to confirm the facts now, so I think the best way is to stay in the palace alone and go to the palace alone. Take a look at the city and county, this way, no matter whether our guess is right or wrong, we won’t be too passive, what do you think?”

Chu Qinglan nodded, apparently also felt that it was the best arrangement to stay in the palace alone and go to Lincheng County alone, but whoever stayed in the palace would go to Lincheng County alone?
"Bei Yu, why don't you stay in the palace." Chu Qinglan thought for a while before saying, "In this way, if something happens in the palace, we can deal with it in time."

"What about you?" Mo Beiyu asked.

"I'm going to Lincheng County. This matter must be resolved no matter what."
