You know, Ye Lan is not a simple person. Although she said that she was the person in charge of this incident, from her observation, Ye Lan did not belong to the Qianyan Army. She was a member of the General Affairs Department, and her style of doing things was a little bit different...

He looks like some kind of parachuted character, and the Qianyan Army is very respectful to Ye Lan.

So, does this mean that Ye Lan’s identity is definitely not as simple as it seems?

No matter what, Ye Lan is also an official employee of Liyue. If Xing can take her down, it will be a huge step forward for them.

"I will immediately order the Qianyan Army stationed near Shimen to take action and search for the movements of those two people." Ye Lan nodded, and then she waved her hand to call the Qianyan Army who were controlling the situation over.

"I can't believe that Hua Chu is actually not dead." Paimeng couldn't help but sigh. When they first investigated, they only suspected whether the body was Hua Chu.

Although I had guessed that Hua Chu might still be alive, I was still surprised when I heard the news about her.

"In that case, she really faked her death in order to elope with that poor teacher...but why did she run away when she saw you?" Ying looked at them puzzled.

"I accidentally shouted..." Kurumi touched her head a little embarrassedly, and then sighed helplessly: "And they might have recognized me. If Xing was the only one there, maybe these two people wouldn't be so vigilant."

After all, Hu Tao is considered a celebrity in Liyue Harbor, and she’s been doing nothing all day... ahem, promoting Wangshengtang’s package service on the streets all day.

She didn't know Hua Chu, but Hua Chu and the man beside her were very likely to know Hu Tao.

"Don't worry, these two people can't run away." Ye Lan didn't care much about this. None of these two people was even the owner of the Eye of God, and basically posed no threat.

Moreover, although this is already a stone gate, one foot can cross the border and hide in Mond next door.

But Mondstadt and Liyue have always been friendly neighbors, and there will be no problem for their people to conduct cross-border searches.

What's more, due to the shortage of manpower, Mond's Knights are basically completely undefended on the border between the two countries, and no one will interfere at all.

"What are we waiting for? Let's catch up." Paimon said impatiently.

"Don't be anxious, Paimon... Did you see where those two people ran?" Ying turned and asked them.

"It was pitch dark at the time, so I didn't notice it. Did you?" Walnut looked at Xing.

All her attention was on Xing at that time, and she paid no attention to anything else.

"Well, it seems to be over there." Xing recalled and then pointed in the direction of Wuwangpo.

"Huh? It's there?" Paimon was a little surprised.

Because it is not heading towards Mondstadt, but instead heading towards Liyue.

"Oh?" Ye Lan also raised her eyebrows, not understanding why these two people would do this.

Could it be that he was planning to play a trick of hiding the darkness under the lamp? Or did he think that the road ahead was too smooth and he would be caught up in a short time, so he planned to run into the deep mountains and old forests of Wuwangpo...

"Objectively speaking, it's not that easy to find that kind of place." Ye Lan looked around and then offered his own suggestion.

"How about gathering all the people here and searching together in pairs?"

A team of Thousand Rocks Army, plus the four of them here, oh no, and half of Paimon, it makes a perfect team of two.

If they spread out like this and conduct a carpet search of Wuwangpo, those two people will not be able to escape.

-------------------------------------------------- ---

Xing followed Ye Lan silently, wanting to say something but stopping himself for a long time.

She didn't know if Ying did it on purpose... No, it must be intentional. She actually chose to be in the same group with Hu Tao when the groups were being formed.

I don’t know what she said in Hu Tao’s ear, but Hu Tao nodded immediately.

Then, Xing was naturally assigned to Ye Lan's side.

But to be honest, she still felt a little uncomfortable facing Ye Lan.

"Miss Xing."

"Just call me Xing." Xing came back to his senses and said quickly.

"Okay, then Xing can call me Ye Lan." Ye Lan nodded and looked sideways at Xing.

She suggested that the two of them form a team, not because the search would be more efficient this way. She and Ningguang have been working together for so many years and have a lot of experience in this area. In fact, letting her do it alone might be the most efficient.

She originally wanted to use this opportunity to get in touch with Xing. This girl was very unique. She could feel it since she received the news from Ningguang and started keeping an eye on this girl a few days ago.

Therefore, she was still very interested in some basic information about this gray-haired girl.

She originally thought that Ying would choose to be with this girl, but she didn't expect Ying to take Hu Tao away on her own initiative.

This left her with no need to come up with any excuses.

Chapter 31 Anything is OK

"Oh... I see." Ye Lan nodded and casually tore off the thread of water element in his hand.

As the water element thread broke, several tied-up Hillbillies fell to the ground.

"Anyway, we're planning to come to Liyue to meet the Geo King, if possible..." Xing touched his head and put away his baseball bat.

I didn't expect that there would be Hilichurls in a place like Wuwangpo. The first time she came here, because Hu Tao brought her, they probably took safe roads and didn't encounter any enemies at all.

Fortunately, there were only a few Hillilchur people and they posed no threat.

But Ye Lan...

The silk thread in her hand just now made Xing dazed for a moment.

Although it was not quite the same, it still reminded her of Kafka's spider silk.

But obviously, Kafka's kind is more dangerous and can penetrate the whole person.

"It is not an easy thing to meet Emperor Rock King. Even I can't help you." Ye Lan chuckled and said.

"Seeing" is actually very simple. After all, the Rock King Emperor is such a big dragon that he can be seen from afar. What she meant was that it would be difficult to persuade Ningguang to let Ying talk to the Emperor during this year's Summoning the Immortal Ceremony.

In the past, the Seven Stars of the Summoning the Immortal Ceremony generally would not ask questions other than state affairs. Even the question asked by Yuheng Star Keqing at the time, "The Emperor has guarded Liyue for thousands of years. Will it be the same in the future?" was considered an act of usurpation by many.

Not to mention allowing outsiders to ask about missing relatives during the ceremony of inviting the immortals.

Even if Ningguang agreed, the other seven stars and the major forces behind the seven stars probably would not agree.

"I know. There's still time. We can always find a way." Xing shrugged.

This matter is not so easy, she knows it very well, but if it really doesn't work, they still have a last resort, which is that they may slightly offend the Liyue officials...

"But I'm grateful that you can tell me this."

Just now she took the initiative to ask about Xing's past. In the past, she would not be so straightforward, but when facing Xing, she didn't know why she was very direct.

Xing answered a lot, and she subconsciously felt that Xing was not lying.

Ye Lan also found it incredible that she would give such a high level of trust to someone she had only known for a short time.

"Well... I don't know why, but I feel like I can't lie to Ye Lan." Xing touched his head and said with a smile.

It's not just this familiar voice, but also the feeling that Ye Lan gave her.

Although she still didn't know what Ye Lan did, she was sure that Ye Lan was the kind of person who was very good at seeing through other people's lies.

Besides, they didn't deliberately hide it. They just didn't say it because others didn't ask.

Although this kind of thing is somewhat horrifying, people in this world are inexplicably accepting of it.

"Come to think of it, I've already told you so much about myself..." Xing hesitated for a moment, then raised his head and slowly spoke to Ye Lan.

"Uh-huh, sorry, I can't share my affairs with you." Ye Lan shook her head apologetically.

"However, you can ask me for anything else. As long as it's not too much, I can agree to it."

----------------------------------------------------------------------

In a forest not far from Xing and Ye Lan, a man and a woman were walking quickly, taking advantage of the never-dissipating fog of Wuwang Slope.

"Jianqiu, has our secret been exposed so soon?" Hua Chu's face was filled with worry. He had wanted to run away, but he didn't expect that he had been targeted before he even left Liyue.

"That man is the head of the Wangsheng Hall. Perhaps he has come into contact with your family and remembers what you look like..." Jianqiu frowned and held Hua Chu's hand tightly.

Although he knew that there was no perfect plan in this world, he was still somewhat surprised that it was exposed so early.

In fact, he originally thought that this matter would never be exposed.

The scapegoat who was found did not have any external injuries on her body, she simply drowned. Not only was her height and build very similar to Hua Chu, but even when she was alive, her appearance was almost the same as Hua Chu.

After drowning, the body was so rotten that it was impossible for anyone to find any clues.

The only person who might have noticed something was wrong was Hua Chu's father, Lord De'an.

Because the old man raised Hua Chu from childhood to adulthood, he knows Hua Chu very well and may be able to discover some details that ordinary people cannot.

But even so they are still safe.

He had been an employee at Minghua Money House for so long and knew the old man very well.

Similarly, as a daughter, Hua Chu also knows her father very well.

If the old man found something wrong with the body, he would probably figure out what was going on quickly. Even if it was to prevent his daughter from going to jail, he would definitely admit that the body was his daughter and hold the funeral as soon as possible.

Then seek them out in private.

Therefore, in his original idea, once they ran away, Lord De'an would have no way of finding them by his own strength.

Unexpectedly, he was eventually found by the Qianyan Army.

According to the efficiency of the Qianyan Army, even if the matter was exposed, the preliminary investigation alone, coupled with Lord De'an's delay, would have delayed the matter for at least a month.

By the time the ceremony of inviting the immortals arrives, perhaps no one will care about this little matter between the two of them.

But it’s only been a few days… maybe it’s just bad luck.

"But it doesn't matter, we will be fine." Jianqiu shook his head and his expression became determined.

He had made preparations at Wuwangpo early in the morning, but he never expected that the day would come when they would be useful.

"I found a hidden cave in Wuwangpo before. No matter how familiar someone is with Wuwangpo, they won't be able to find us."

He even placed a lot of daily necessities in the cave in advance. As long as he hid, it would not be a problem to live here for two months.

The limelight will soon pass.

"It's all my fault. If I hadn't insisted on staying in Shimen for a while, maybe..."

"Don't say that. We will definitely be able to get through this period safely." Jianqiu interrupted Hua Chu and comforted him softly.

"Yeah." Hua Chu nodded, although the worried look on her face still remained.

Chapter 32 I will definitely take revenge in the future

Most people would not come to a place like Wuwangpo, not only because of the thick fog that lingers for a long time, but also because of the gloomy environment. It seems that the sun never shines on this area. If you stay here for a long time, you will unconsciously feel depressed.

And because of the thick fog, it is easy to get stuck in a maze, and after walking around you will find yourself circling in one place.

Therefore, if you are not someone who is very familiar with this place, or someone who is not strong enough, once you accidentally get in here, it will not be an easy thing to get out, and it is possible to die here.

"Those two people came here on purpose. I think they must have made some preparations in advance." Ye Lan stood up slowly.

The soil under her feet was relatively moist, and there were two pairs of footprints on it, one large and one small. They were obviously left by Jianqiu and Huachu.

Unfortunately, the footprints only lasted for a short distance and soon disappeared.

"What should we do? Should we notify others?" Xing looked down at the footprints for a moment and couldn't help but ask Ye Lan.

Although the footprints ended here, we can still roughly determine where the two of them went.

Call Hu Tao over later. She is very familiar with this place and might be able to determine where the two people are hiding based on the approximate direction.

"No need, I already know where they are hiding." Ye Lan shook her head.

"Eh? Do you already know?" Xing looked at Ye Lan with some surprise.

"Well, some little tricks may be able to deceive ordinary people, but to me these actions are no different from a child's pretending to be clever." Ye Lan nodded slightly, and then walked in a certain direction, which was different from the direction of the footprints.

"Come with me."

These footprints were fake, or they were left intentionally by the two people in order to mislead them.

But unfortunately, it was done too deliberate. Not only someone as knowledgeable as Ye Lan, but even someone who is a little more careful can find it.

"Oh, okay!" Xing quickly followed Ye Lan's footsteps.

Although she didn't understand what was going on, since Ye Lan said that she already knew the location where the two people escaped, Na Xing didn't ask any more questions.

As long as we can catch those two people by then, it will be fine.
