Chapter 306 Pursuit of Linshui County
On the second day, Lu Dashi spent the whole day anxiously waiting.
It wasn't until nearly evening that Yang Huaiwu and the others came back.
Looking at Yang Huaiwu and Steward Zhang, who walked into the house with a depressed face, Lu Dashi could only sigh secretly in his heart, and then shouted loudly outside the door.
"Dashan, prepare a few cups of tea."
Yang Huaiwu walked in front of the mainland boulder, and he didn't bother to sit down, so he lowered his voice and said.
"Brother Lu, I didn't find Li Wenchang."
Lu Dashi nodded, and then asked, "Did you hear the news from Li Wenchang?" ”
When Yang Huaiwu heard this, he hesitated for a moment, and then said slowly, "I suspect that Li Wenchang has already left." ”
After listening to Yang Huaiwu's words, Lu Dashi was suddenly shocked in his heart and hurriedly asked.
"Is the information reliable?"
When Yang Huaiwu heard this, he shook his head, "I don't dare to say, when I arrived at the dock and inquired about Li Wenchang's news, I heard the dock workers say that there were people who looked like Li Wenchang who set off from there." ”
After listening to Yang Huaiwu's words, Lu Dashi thought for a while before asking, "Have you asked a few more people?" ”
Yang Huaiwu nodded, "I asked a few of the workers loading and unloading on the dock, and some of them have seen Li Wenchang and some have not. ”
Lu Dashi thought for a while, and suddenly asked, "It seems that Li Wenchang's people, when will they come back on the boat?" ”
Yang Huaiwu replied, "I heard from the dock workers, it seems that it will take seven or eight days to come back." ”
Hearing this, Lu Dashi nodded, "When you came back, did you leave people at the dock?" ”
Yang Huaiwu nodded, "I left two brothers behind, let them observe there at all times, and if they find any traces of Li Wenchang, they will immediately send someone back to report." ”
Seeing that Yang Huaiwu was doing things so carefully, Lu Dashi couldn't help but secretly praise, this Yang Huaiwu can be regarded as a talent.
Lu Dashi thought for a while and asked with some hesitation, "Brother Yang, you said, if we ride a fast horse along the coast to chase after us, do you say we can catch up with that boat?" ”
Yang Huaiwu was stunned when he heard this, and after a while, he shook his head, "Impossible, even if there is an official road on both sides of the Huaishui River, it is not by the river, if you ride a horse to chase the boat, I don't think there is a chance that you will not be able to catch up." ”
Lu Dashi thought for a moment and asked again, "But, doesn't that boat dock along the way?" ”
"Docking?"
Yang Huaiwu thought for a while, and replied with some uncertainty, "There is also this possibility, if the ship has been docked for a long time, if you ride a horse to chase the ship, you may be able to catch up!" ”
After listening to Yang Huaiwu's answer, Lu Dashi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he suddenly remembered a question.
Linshui County.
Even if Lu Dashi wants to go to Shuangniu Mountain, he must go to Linshui County first, because he has to go to the guest inn in Linshui County to find the shopkeeper Zhang in order to go to Shuangniu Mountain smoothly.
Will Li Wenchang also go to Linshui County?
Although many people know that the Lingnan Five Tigers live in seclusion in Shuangniu Mountain, there will definitely not be many people who know where Shuangniu Mountain is.
So, how should Li Wenchang find Shuangniu Mountain?
Thinking of this, Lu Dashi was even more sure in his heart, yes, Li Wenchang would definitely go to Linshui County first, and inquire about the location of Shuangniu Mountain there.
Since it is possible that Li Wenchang will go to Linshui County, then .......
Thinking of this, Lu Dashi raised his head and looked at Yang Huaiwu and said slowly.
"Brother Yang, since that's the case, then I'll trouble you to run!"
Yang Huaiwu was stunned when he heard this, and then asked, "Did Brother Lu ask me to ride a horse to chase Li Wenchang?" ”
Lu Dashi shook his head and said with a smile, "Don't be so troublesome, I'll trouble Brother Yang to go directly to Linshui County and wait for Li Wenchang's whereabouts there." ”
"Linshui County?"
After Yang Huaiwu repeated the name, he looked at Lu Dashi with some confusion and asked, "Brother Lu, will Li Wenchang go to Linshui County?" ”
Lu Dashi nodded slightly, "If I guess correctly, Li Wenchang will definitely go to Linshui County, and when the time comes, please ask Brother Yang to go to the dock first to inquire about whether the boat has arrived, if it hasn't arrived, then you will stay there and wait for Li Wenchang's arrival." ”
After listening to Lu Dashi's words, Yang Huaiwu nodded, and then asked, "What if that boat arrived earlier than us?" ”
Lu Dashi thought for a while, and then said slowly, "Wait a minute, I will ask Dashan to go to the yamen to open an official document, if the boat arrives in Linshui County earlier than you, you will secretly investigate, the inns in Linshui County, if Li Wenchang's traces have not been found by then, you can come back." ”
When Yang Huaiwu heard this, he nodded heavily, "Brother Lu, don't worry, I'll go back and let the brothers prepare, and set off tonight, and strive to arrive in Linshui County as soon as possible." ”
Seeing that Yang Huaiwu was leaving, Steward Zhang, who had been sitting on the side without speaking, hurriedly got up and asked.
"Lord Lu, what about me, do you still need the people I brought?"
Lu Dashi thought for a while, and then asked, "If you can go, it's best, if you really can't go, I won't force it, please let Steward Zhang make his own decision." ”
After listening to Lu Dashi's words, Steward Zhang thought for a moment, and then said, "In this case, I will leave half of the people here to protect the master, and the remaining half of the people, I will let them obey Yang Gongzi's orders and go to Linshui County with them." ”
Hearing this, Lu Dashi nodded, "Then trouble Steward Zhang, in addition, please also ask Steward Zhang to tell the brothers, so that they can rest assured that I, Lu Dashi, will never treat my brother badly." ”
When Steward Zhang heard this, he hurriedly said, "Lord Lu is too polite, I will tell the master about this matter, let him decide." ”
……
After Yang Huaiwu and Steward Zhang left, Lu Dashi began to wonder if it was possible for Yang Huaiwu and them to catch up with the boat.
After thinking for a while, Lu Dashi shook his head with some disappointment.
The boat is on the water, and it can go non-stop, but the horse can't, and after running a certain distance, you must rest.
In this way, it is very unlikely that Yang Huaiwu and the others will catch up with Li Wenchang.
Now, I can only resign myself to fate.
If he could catch up with that boat, with the people brought by Yang Huaiwu, he should be able to deal with Li Wenchang's men.
……
After Yang Huaiwu and Steward Zhang left, Lu Dashi also stopped here, but these few days can be regarded as Lu Dashi's happiest time.
Every day, Zhou Sining will bring Xiaohong to deliver food to him, although he stays here for a long time every day, but he can see Zhou Sining every day, and Lu Dashi is also content.
The only thing that worries Lu Dashi is Miao Yufeng.
Miao Yufeng has been in a coma for too long, if it weren't for Lu Dashi's fact that he couldn't move, even if he climbed, he would have to crawl over to see what happened to this stupid girl's injury!
……
In the early morning of the fourth day, Du Qingyu came back.
At that time, Lu Dashi's injuries were too serious, and in order to facilitate treatment, he was sent back to Huaishui County.
And Du Qingyu and the others were sent to the Maple Leaf Villa, which was relatively close.
