However, the night was too dark. Even if they lit the fire, the traces they could see were very limited. Fang Jiming's anxious forehead was cold sweat.

The second time, they failed again.

The little general gave them his back, but they let the little general down.

At this time, the last snow had melted away, and there was no way to track along the snow marks. The party looked for it in the whole Beidahe like crazy.

Until the sky gradually turned white, they went to find Zhang Dan.

Fang Jiming can't help it. Maybe at this time, he can only use the people of Liangguo. Although Zhang Dan brought few people, they were all elite.

"Qingqing was robbed." Zhang Dan only repeated this sentence, but the cold in his eyes can freeze people into ice.

After that, Zhang Dan took out a small box from his arms and looked absorbed.

Fang Jiming doesn't know what Zhang Dan is doing. He's just worried about why Zhang Dan hasn't ordered someone to trace it. He doesn't know what will happen later.

After watching for a while, Zhang Dan finally moved.

The place where Zhang Dan lives is two miles away from Lu Qing's courtyard. Zhang Dan rode a fast horse into Lu Qing's residence and went straight to her bedroom.

Huo Jing was about to stop, but he saw Zhang Dan get the white hairpin.

Then, hold the white jade hairpin in your hand and crush it.

A faint reddish powder mixed in jade chips. You can't find it without looking carefully.

"Huo Jing, take a basin of water and put all these debris in. Don't take them out until you find Qingqing."

Huo Jing was stunned. He didn't know why, but he believed that Zhang Dan wouldn't laugh at this time. Although he didn't like him, he knew that this guy must be different from Lu Qing.

Bai Jitai, who was listening, was faster than Huo Jing. He had brought the water, and then carefully wiped the debris of the white jade hairpin into the basin with a cloth towel, leaving no trace.

Zhang Dan looked at the box in his arms again, went out again, took all his elite and followed him to pursue the thief.

Although Huo Jing didn't understand what Zhang Dan was doing, they also led a fast horse and kept up.

Fang Jiming stayed because Huo Jing said "keep Mrs. Shao's home."

Wang Jian also wanted to follow, but Fang Jiming pulled him back. At this time, Wang Jian had better stay in Beidahe. He is like an amulet. No matter which force, he will scruple a little and won't fight them easily.

The face of the cold wind hurt, but Zhang Dan didn't want to stop for a moment until the horse under him foamed at the mouth and fell heavily to the ground. Chen cangya tried his best to pull him aside and didn't get thrown out.

They have abandoned several horses.

Their direction is Yumenguan.

Zhang Dan said that someone wanted to take Lu Qing to the western regions. It must be Wei Chi Yue.

After thinking for a while, Huo Jing also felt that this possibility was great. He also worked hard to drive to Yumen pass.

But they were more than half a day late, and at this time, Wei Chi Yue probably had passed the Yumen pass.

From Lu Qing's disappearance to now, if you use the fastest horse, you can also run to Yumen pass. That is to say, when they arrive at Yumen pass, it is very likely that Lu Qing has been taken out.

Their only hope now is that the soldiers of Yumen pass can find some clues and save Lu Qing.

However, Zhang Dan doesn't care so much. He just occasionally looks at the box in his arms and moves on.

At this time, it was already dusk, and a large row of Hu merchants in Yumen pass were waiting to return to the western regions.

They sent fur, spices and brought back cloth, seeds and some handicrafts.

In the long line, there was a short and strong bearded merchant in the middle, looking sadly at the camels in the car.

When Guo Junda asked about the past, the Hu merchant named mulza cried with a runny nose and tears.

"My camel has been with me for more than 20 years, but it died here. I want to take it home for burial and let it return to the arms of my family."

Murza became more and more sad. He sat on the ground next to the cart and cried bitterly, causing other Hu merchants to look sympathetically at him.

The dead camel is indeed a little old. Generally, this kind of camel will not let it go far. However, some people will always take it with them because they have deep feelings with the old camel and call it the God of luck.

Guo Junda sighed. He also knew a lot about Hu merchants. In fact, they paid more attention to camels than the goods sold. Some people even valued camels more than their own lives.

I saw that the dead old camel had been treated, and the internal organs in his stomach should be removed. Now it was stuffed with dried lotus leaves for antisepsis. In this way, it should last until he returned to his hometown.

"Please, can you let me go earlier? I want my old friend to go home as soon as possible..." mulza wanted to hold Guo Junda's leg, and Guo Junda dodged.

Guo Junda only sympathized with this, but lined up for an hour. There's no need to make an exception for him.

But what Guo Junda didn't expect was that Hu merchants in front of him stepped aside and let mulza pass first.

In this case, the guard of Yumen pass had nothing to say, so mulza suddenly moved from the middle of the team to the front.

Their team didn't bring much goods. They soon finished the inspection, leaving only a huge dead camel.

Liu Chen stared at the camel for a while and asked mulza to open the camel's stomach. He wanted to check it.

Mulza's face quickly looked ugly.

"Tuen Chang Liu, my old friend has suffered once. Are you going to..."

"Open it." Liu Chen was unmoved.

Liu Chen's attitude caused a group of Hu businessmen behind to glare, and some even began to swear in their language.

But Liu Chen stared and dared not speak.

Mulza was helpless, so he had to take a knife and cut several stitches under the camel's belly. He saw that many dried lotus leaves that had filled the camel's abdominal cavity burst out in an instant.

Liu Chen went up and poked it with a long knife for a while. He didn't find anything unusual, so he asked mulza to sew it back.

Mull pierced his face and sewed the camel's belly again with a thick needle.

Then, release.

Looking at mulza driving the camel team away, Liu Chen stared at them for a while and returned to the original business.

After noon, Liu Chen was going back to have a rest when he heard a noise.

Striding over, Zhang Dan, Huo Jing and others came, with dozens of guards.

"What happened..."

Liu Chen didn't finish asking, but he saw Zhang Dan rush over directly, and the dozens of guards quickly began to drive away the Hu merchants in line.

"Tuen Chang Liu, did you find anything unusual when you checked the past Hu merchants here?"

Liu Chen was stunned. Except for transporting dead camels, there was nothing unusual.
