Chapter 1091 Liu Yue Extra: Chasing
Liu Yue found a ship from another merchant company, but the captain had been hiding his identity as a member of the Cao Gang. After quietly greeting him, Liu Yue found a safe place to sleep.
With soreness all over his body and severe pain in his private parts, Liu Yue admired himself for being able to fly over the eaves and walls from the palace back to Liuye River, and then found this ship to lie down and rest.
As the day was about to dawn, the merchant ship sailed along the Shujiang River. The sound of the water and the shaking of the ship soon made Liu Yue fall into a sweet and dreamless sleep, and the chaos of the Zhou family and the East Palace were all left behind.
When the sun was at its highest point in the sky, the merchant ship had left the capital far away. The people mobilized by Gongsun Yan had a search in and outside the city, and they were destined to return empty-handed.
Gongsun Yan himself led people to search and investigate carefully along the waterway.
At noon the next day, Liu Yue insisted on getting off the ship in a market town with a dock, walked around the dock, and finally found the riverside and slipped onto an inconspicuous cargo ship.
Soon, the cargo ship flying the flag of Zhou State had quietly raised anchor and sailed away.
The merchant ship that Liu Yue had taken was still at the dock to load and unload goods. Although the captain of the ship was puzzled by Liu Yue's insistence on getting off the ship, he did not dare to stop him.
When Gongsun Yan's men caught up and stopped all the ships of all sizes for inspection, the captain suddenly realized and admired the leader's wisdom.
Gongsun Yan listened to the report of his subordinates with a gloomy face. The most suspicious situation was that there was no suspicious situation at all. As the leader of the Cao Gang, Liu Yue was most familiar with the waterway, and escaping along the river was the fastest and most effective way.
Letting go of these angry but not speaking ships, Gongsun Yan stopped his ship at the dock, and he took a small team directly to the market town.
After tossing so many ships, the sun was already setting. Gongsun Yan's reason told him not to be impatient. Liu Yue, a young woman, could manage such a large Cao Gang in an orderly manner. She must not be an ordinary person and it would not be so easy to find her.
But the prince was so indifferent to the theft in the East Palace, and even hinted that he should bring the person back intact, which made Gongsun Yan feel uneasy. .
Zhou Lanqing took the position of the crown princess by chance without his effort, and this matter could not be ruined by a lowly Liu Yue.
He knew Liu Yue, and her beauty was indeed better than Zhou Lanqing.
And she was such an unusual woman. If the prince really fell in love with her, it would be very bad.
Then Gongsun Yan laughed at herself in her heart. She was a thief who stole the prince's things. For the sake of face, the prince had to maintain his momentum. Why did she think of love?
What was the disappearance of spring? Did the prince have to be responsible for her?
Gongsun Yan stopped thinking about these things, and after sending a strange signal, she sat in a small tea shop by the river.
Soon, a beggar-like person came to beg nearby. Gongsun Yan took out a few coins from his purse, walked straight over, squatted in front of the beggar, took the money and poured it into his broken bowl.
The beggar put his hands together, murmured his thanks, and finally whispered an address. Gongsun Yan hummed inaudibly, got up and left the teahouse, and went to the ink shop the beggar mentioned.
The ink stick that Gongsun Yan wanted to buy was a rare local specialty. When the boss heard that a big customer was coming, he immediately sent someone to the warehouse in the backyard to pick up the goods, and he led Gongsun Yan to the inner room.
The guy who picked up the goods went out of the backyard and sent out a signal. The town was not big, and the news soon reached the guy, who took the news and the ink stick back to the front.
After getting this first-hand news, Gongsun Yan had an idea in his mind. He immediately took the ink stick he pretended to buy, gathered people and hurried back to the boat, set sail and set anchor to chase Liu Yue.
