Bingwen's original state of drunkenness was amplified by his words, which made the altar clearer and clearer. The poem in his mouth stopped, and the hand holding the wine pot also hung in the air.
Seeing that his words were effective, Yin Guangbo took off the wine bottle from his hand and continued to Bingwen, who was in a daze, "Let's go into the room and talk slowly, okay?"
Bingwen put his hand on his shoulder, his originally sharp and penetrating eyes were now dimmed, and he looked at him momentarily with a drunken blur: "Don't use this kind of thing as a way to cheer me up." An excuse to make me happy for nothing."
Since the emptiness of the treasury was resolved at the beginning of Xia, good news of victory came frequently from Gu Weiyi.
All Bingwen's thoughts were spent on finding this man and woman.
Everyone in Chang'an knew about this woman. Her portrait had been sent out from Dali Temple by Kong Changhui in a pretentious manner after Xiao Mubai abducted him from the Sinan Mansion.
Who would have thought that this post lasted three months.
There was no way Su Qianle could still stay in Chang'an. Since she was kidnapped by Yue Feng's men, there were only two possibilities, either she would be taken away by him, or he would hand her over to Concubine Li.
Xia Chu will chase the line pulled by the moon wind personally.
As for Li Fei, Bingwen really spent a lot of effort. Now the Shi family army is heavily guarded. It is impossible to find someone to go in and search tents one by one without anyone noticing.
After much deliberation, the only option was to put people in.
But right now, it is really impossible to arrange for a stranger to come in.
Later, he received the news that the Shi's army had broken camp and rushed to seal the dock. Bingwen came up with a plan and arranged for people from Wentian Pavilion in various places to disguise themselves as pawns such as grooms in the cities that the Shi's army passed along the way. He also selected a few smart women who were good at dressing up.
After all, although Concubine Li had no choice but to live in a tent with the army, she still liked to show off her pomp and ceremony. When she left the palace, she only took with her a caring Lian Yan, who was not enough for her to control.
Bingwen arranged a group of such people in every city along the Shi family's army. There were always a few sneaking in. If Su Qianle was in the army, he would be discovered sooner or later.
The remaining matter of looking for Brother Xianli really gave him a headache without any thought. Apart from posting a notice and offering a huge reward, he had no idea where else to start investigating this matter.
But even this posting had a lot of misunderstandings.
Bingwen offered a huge reward, and for a while, countless people from all over Chang'an poured in to look for him, saying that they knew the clues, and the fabricated news was even more exciting than the storytellers in the market.
Bingwen gradually became a little discouraged after seeing many people who burst into tears but even said the opposite direction.
Now, he was depressed because of Zhao Xingwen's incident. If Yin Guangbo was kindly tricking him for his health, Bingwen would not be able to accept his joy in vain.
After hearing his serious tone, Yin Guangbo naturally understood the seriousness of it. He also straightened his expression and replied seriously to Bingwen: "I really didn't lie to you. I have really seen that mark, but..."
"Just what?" Bingwen stood up excitedly, his expression urgent.
"It's just that I never remembered where I saw it." Yin Guangbo had a hint of embarrassment on his face. Seeing Bingwen's eyes dimming again, he quickly added: "But I have definitely seen that mark before. , I planned to remember who I saw it on before I told you. No, I’m afraid you won’t be able to get back up after looking at your appearance now.”
When Bingwen heard that he couldn't remember, he felt a little disappointed in his heart. It can be seen that he repeatedly stated that he had really seen it before, and the hopeful color reappeared in his eyes, reflected by the moonlight, shining brightly.
He held Yin Guangbo's wrist and pulled him eagerly towards the room.
Yin Guangbo saw that although he was staggering, he was impatient, so he had no choice but to help him. Jiewu behind him also quickly followed after seeing this, and the two of them carried Bingwen back to the house, one on the left and the other on the right.
Bingwen poured a large pot of herbal tea, and asked Jiewu to pour a basin of cold water to cleanse his face. His mind suddenly became five or six points clearer. His eyes held two bright points of light under the glazed lamp, and he looked at them for a moment. By Yin Guangbo.
Yin Guangbo had been frowning and thinking about it since he entered the house, but the more anxious he was, the less he could remember.
Right now, with Bingwen looking at him so expectantly, his mind was even more blank.
Seeing that he had been avoiding her eyes, Bingwen knew that it was useless to urge him at this time, so he ordered Jiewu to make two cups of hot tea. He lowered his eyes and stopped looking at him, thinking about it in his mind.
"Did you see this when you were a child?" Bingwen still held his forehead and did not raise his eyes to look at him.
"No." Yin Guangbo thought for a while and answered firmly.
Although he couldn't remember where he had seen it, the impression was not vague, not the ignorant memory of his childhood.
Bingwen nodded to himself. The first thing that can be confirmed is that this man must not be in Chang'an.
Otherwise, with his extensive search, there would be no news at all.
Secondly, since Yin Guangbo had met him before, and it wasn't when he was a child, it should have been the period from when he left Beijing to when he returned to Beijing.
Bingwen frowned and asked, "Is it the people you met on your way back to Beijing?"
Yin Guangbo was silent for a moment, then shook his head: "No."
The journey back with Qiu Zhiting's escort coincided with the severe cold, and he slept in the open air along the way but did not dare to stay for fear of wasting time.
Everyone was well-dressed, and in most cases they slept in their clothes. They would take a nap before continuing on their way. He had never seen anyone with their breasts exposed.
Seeing his decisive reply, Bingwen took a breath of cold air.
It was good news that he replied so confidently. In this way, the candidates were the people he met when he was an official in Wanzhou after leaving Beijing.
Although Bingwen was well aware of the things he encountered when he was an official outside, after all, he only knew about big things. Bingwen asked him in detail about every big and small thing he had experienced during this year. thing.
It wasn't until he saw him yawning repeatedly, with sleepiness in his eyes and fatigue on his face that he reluctantly let him go back to rest.
Although Yin Guangbo couldn't figure out where he had seen him after all, he at least gave Bingwen hope.
Before leaving, Yin Guangbo looked back at Bingwen, who was still sitting at the table and meditating. At least he was not carrying a pot to get drunk, which was good.
After he left, Bingwen thought again and made the two places Guwan and Wuzhou the focus. Then he wrote another letter and sent it to Wentian Pavilion in those two places.
Although Wentian Pavilions in various places had already received news that Bingwen was looking for the man with the mark, he still urged the pavilion master there again to feel at ease.
