"Is this left by that little girl just now?"
Wang Zhong's eyes flashed with excitement and he said: "Master, we finally have clues about the eldest lady. God has eyes. We must investigate and find out the whereabouts of the eldest lady."
Lin Beichen had come to his senses at this time.
"How can you be so sure that this handkerchief belongs to my sister?"
Lin Beichen said: "It looks like a very popular product, and if I remember correctly, the lady's handmade red needlework is simply scum..."
"You can't go wrong."
Wang Zhong is 100% sure.
Seeing the doubtful look in Lin Beichen's eyes, he explained: "Master, you used to be too afraid of the eldest lady, so you had little communication with her and didn't care much about her. So you may not know that although the eldest lady is obsessed with martial arts, she rarely does handicrafts." Nvhong, etc., but she has really practiced swordsmanship through embroidery, and she has only embroidered a picture of "riding a white horse through three passes". The figure, shape, and white horse on this brocade handkerchief , as well as the stitching, materials, threads, etc., are undoubtedly the eldest lady's handiwork, and this old slave can recognize it even if he takes off his eyeballs."
"Then take off your eyeballs and recognize them again."
Lin Beichen argued.
Wang Zhong immediately laughed flatteringly.
Lin Beichen added: "Don't be too happy too early. What if it's just a coincidence? This Aurora woman picked up my sister's work from somewhere and came to my place to make a fuss..."
"Master..."
Wang Zhong suddenly said sadly: "Master, I know you are too excited at this time and it is a bit hard to believe, but you can't treat me as a fool."
Lin Beichen: "..."
Wang Zhong said sincerely: "Master, this is a rare opportunity. The woman came to the door and took out this brocade handkerchief. She must have some information about the eldest lady. Even if she is playing tricks, we have to investigate carefully. Make sure it’s true or false, after all, this is the only clue for the eldest lady.”
Lin Beichen had a saying in mind: MMP.
He didn't want to see either of his missing father and sister at all.
Because once they meet, it's easy to cheat.
But seeing what Wang Zhong said, Lin Beichen knew that it would be unreasonable if he behaved coldly again.
"Okay, I'll investigate this matter."
He said: "Don't be too hasty. As you said, this Aurora woman took out the handkerchief on purpose. She must have some purpose. I think she will come to me again."
Wang Zhong nodded repeatedly: "I understand your painstaking efforts, young master. I am afraid that if we find out the truth, it will not be what we thought, and the hope that was finally raised will be dashed again, but we must be brave..."
Oh shit.
Lin Beichen thought to himself, I need to be brave.
But he also had to admire Lao Wang Zhong's self-reflection.
In today's conversation, I had several flaws, but they were all corrected by Lao Wang Zhong's logic.
"Okay, I get it."
Lin Beichen waved his hand and said seriously: "I will investigate secretly... You can continue to call the number."
Wang Zhong then respectfully handed the brocade handkerchief back to Lin Beichen with both hands, then turned around and went out to continue calling.
Lin Beichen looked at the veil carefully several times.
"Can you pass three levels on a white horse?"
Why did I have to embroider this pattern in the first place
Could the man above be my sister's mistress
Lin Beichen threw the brocade handkerchief to Qianqian and said, "Take it and wash it."
Zhao Zhuoyan, a big businessman from Qianlixing Chamber of Commerce, and his son Zhao Wuyang were next in line.
"sit down."
Lin Beichen said absently.
The fall of Yunmeng City caused the Thousand Miles Merchant Guild to suffer heavy losses. All kinds of shops and assets were basically robbed by the Hai Clan. It was a real loss. Of course, a cunning old fox like Zhao Zhuoyan would definitely have a lot of wealth secretly preserved. .
Even so, Zhao Zhuoyan looked very haggard and lost a lot of weight.
"Young Master Lin, you and I are already acquaintances, so I won't beat around the bush. I dare to ask, what are your plans and plans next?"
He got straight to the point.
"I don't have any plans, just goofing around."
Lin Beichen said perfunctorily.
When Zhao Zhuoyan heard this, he gritted his teeth and said, "I wonder if Mr. Lin has any plans to go to Zhaohui City?"
Lin Beichen glanced at him, his heart moved, and said: "Is President Zhao planning to leave Yunmeng City?"
Zhao Zhuoyan nodded and said: "To be honest, Mr. Lin, we can no longer stay in Yunmeng City. The Hai Clan doesn't treat us as human beings at all. Although the Hai Clan has calmed down a little because of Mr. Lin's intervention to turn the tide, it still remains. It’s just a drop in the bucket, farmland has been destroyed, crops have been burned, the Hai Clan has expanded aggressively here, destroyed buildings, and the citizens’ foundation for survival has been lost. Even if they don’t die under the sword of the Hai Clan, they will starve to death this winter... "
At this point, seeing that Lin Beichen seemed to be listening to him, Zhao Zhuoyan said again: "We, the few surviving old guys and big merchants, have thought about it together and decided to risk their lives and leave Yunmeng City and return to the Empire. By occupying the area, we can at least have a chance of survival."
Lin Beichen was a little silent after hearing this.
indeed.
Although due to the promise of the arena battle, the Sea Clan no longer frequently kills the humans in Yunmeng City, the problem of survival does not seem to have been completely resolved.
The Hai people are carrying out large-scale construction projects.
The sea beasts from the deep sea bulldozed the hills, and the marine warlocks opened up rivers, driving the sea water into the inland. Not to mention the destruction of the original ecological environment, even the farmland, orchards, etc. that depended on survival. They were also destroyed.
This year's autumn harvest in Yunmeng City can be harvested without any harvest.
Many people can hardly stand it any longer.
These large merchants still have some surplus, so they can try to give it a try.
What about the civilians
Are we going to completely starve to death here
"Young Master Lin, we would like to ask you to leave together."
Zhao Zhuoyan mustered up his courage and said: "Yunmeng City has been destroyed. Even if the empire recovers this place, it is completely impossible to restore it to its original appearance. The Yunmeng Temple has been stolen by foreigners. The glory of the Lord of the Sword, Junmian, It is no longer possible to shine here. You are the favored one of God and need to walk in the land shrouded by God's glory. The Sea Clan also regards you as a thorn in their side and will definitely find a way to deal with you. Why don't you leave with us? It is said that a gentleman cannot stand. Under the dangerous wall, with your talents, talents, prestige and divine support, only in the great city of Zhaohui can you show your true light and heat and make achievements. If you stay here, you will be alone."
After speaking, he looked at Lin Beichen nervously.
For this god-like young man who has faith in his heart, saying this may be a kind of conflict and blasphemy, but it is also the most practical thing to say.
"You invited me along, do you want me to protect you along the way?"
Lin Beichen said calmly.
"Young Master Lin, actually we..."
Zhao Wuyang wanted to explain something.
Zhao Zhuoyan interrupted his son and admitted honestly: "You are right. We have this consideration, but we also hope that Mr. Lin can seriously consider the current situation. We have received some news. The Sea Clan is going to build the Tide Calling Altar in Yunmeng City, turning this place into a land of marshes, a paradise for the Sea Clan, and the first base to attack the mainland... The situation is far more cruel than imagined."
Lin Beichen smiled faintly.
Looking at the father and son, he asked: "If I leave, what will happen to the civilians who are unable to protect themselves?"
Zhao Zhuoyan and his son looked at each other in silence.
If such words were spoken by the former Lin Beichen, the Zhao family and his son would probably be so shocked that their jaws would drop to the ground a dozen times.
But now Lin Beichen is a god with a splendid figure.
It's perfectly normal to say something like this.
