Li Mu's heart was like the rolling river water under his feet, a vast area.

He never dreamed that, okay, why did she suddenly change her mind? She was just delayed on the road by Jing Password for a while, but she didn't even say hello, and left him and went back to Jiankang?

He turned his head suddenly and sternly said, "Madam, there is nothing else to say?"

The follower remembered that the wife had just arrived at the ferry. After getting on the boat, he ordered people to lift the boxes out and ask him to look at them. He said another word to tell him to turn around and then set sail away. At this moment, it was still like two-meter-old King Kong was confused. Seeing that Li Mu's face looked very ugly, he shrank his neck and whispered: "I have never left anything else. I said it at that time, leave me and go..."

Li Mu remembered that she ignored her after she left this morning, and remembered the conversation between the two last night, and her heart was up and down.

He had a faint feeling that she was angry with herself.

But he really couldn't figure it out, why did she still be angry with herself?

He felt that he had figured it out long ago and no longer cared about the piano score. Naturally, he believed her words.

Li Mu really didn't know what was wrong with her, which caused her so dissatisfaction and made the willful act of leaving her alone?

He felt a little annoyed. He frowned slightly, and suddenly remembered that when he was just talking to Jingtong, the other party mentioned that he had received someone to report early, saying that he had left the door early, so he rushed over. Fortunately, he did not miss the opportunity to see him off.

At that time, he did not pay attention to the words of the Beijing Password. But when he thought about it carefully, he suddenly realized something.

Luo Shen left him alone, and it was definitely not because he had just arrived at the ferry crossing.

It is very likely that she called the Beijing command this morning. At home these days, she seemed to be nothing, and got along well with her mother and A Ting, and in front of her, as usual, but maybe she had already made this plan in her heart.

He was confused by his little wife and unaware of it. It was not until the last moment that he understood.

Li Mu's face became more and more ugly. Seeing that the entourage was still staring at him with a calm face, he ordered him to move his things to the inn for the time being and wait there, not to go home to alarm Lu, he immediately chased after him.

He went west along the river bank and chased after him for a whole day until evening, and chased him to a pier where boats could be moored overnight. He searched for the boats parked there, but he could not see the ships on which Luo Shen was sitting.

Because this section of the waterway is close to Jiankang, the waterway is busy, and there are thousands of sails in the river, and the ships shuttle back and forth from morning to night. The appearance of the ship looks ordinary and has no conspicuous points. In addition, the river is wide, if you walk far away from the bank of the river, you may not be able to see its trace without any omissions.

Li Mu stood by the river, looking at the dim river surface after the setting sun, and was fascinated for a moment and made a new decision.

He decided to stop this futile stupid action.

He walked 6 ways. If he walked all forward, he would be faster than her walking on the water.

Instead of looking for needles in the seabed like this, for fear of missing out, it would be better to take a step forward to her and first arrive at the gate a hundred miles away from the east waterway of Jiankang City, wait there, wait for the rabbit, wait for her boat to arrive, and intercept her.

Li Mu made up his mind and his mood that had been in chaos for a day finally calmed down. So he found a place to eat nearby, filled his stomach, took a little rest, and continued on the road. But the next day, he arrived at Jiangzhakou.

Jiangzha is less than a hundred miles away from Jiankang. All ships have to pass through this pass before entering the waterway leading to the Imperial City.

A few days ago, Li Mu took Luo Shen to take a boat out of Jiankang through the gate to Jingkou. The gate official naturally recognized him. Suddenly, he saw him returning and descending from the sky, saying that he would wait for a boat to come here. He was puzzled, but he did not dare to ask more questions. He was very enthusiastic about the reception, just waiting for the boat he was looking for to arrive.

Li Mu waited at the gate for three days.

In the past three days, there were no less than a thousand ships passing through this gate to Jiankang.

For three whole days, from morning to night, from opening to closing the gate, Li Mu stared at him personally, without letting go of a ship.

But with so many ships, I didn't see her one.

And counting on the days, no matter how slow she walked, the ship should have arrived at the latest today.

Li Mu could no longer be sure. His mood changed from confusion and annoyance at the beginning to worry and anxiety.

Because this section of waterway is close to Jiankang, it has been safe for many years, and Fan Cheng and others are walking with her. Li Mu was not worried about her safety at first, but just wanted to intercept her back soon.

He was very sure that she could not walk so fast that she could skip herself and go back to Jiankang first.

But for some reason, she never arrived.

Li Mu waited for another day with anxiety and still no sign of the ship.

He could no longer wait, so he asked the gatekeeper to continue looking at this place, borrowed a few people, and sent them to several yamen along the way in his own name, asking if there were any reports of abnormal waterways in the past few days. He turned back along the riverside, inquired and searched all the way.

Another day has passed and there is still no news.

Such a big boat, together with the people on the boat, disappeared out of thin air under the sun without a trace.

The people sent to Jingkouling, and finally sent back the news. Daojingkouling went to the Li family in person and inquired quietly. Mrs. Li has not come back in the past few days.

Hope is lost again.

Li Mu hadn't closed his eyes well for several nights. He was so anxious that he was almost crazy.

Originally, he was unwilling to let Gao Qiao and the eldest princess know about this matter, thinking that he would intercept her and take her away before she returned home in anger, and the matter would pass.

Looking at it now, the idea at that time seemed so ridiculous.

With the last bit of luck, he hoped that God would be pitiful and that there would be a miracle that would happen.

Perhaps, she really walked faster than him. Before he reached the gate, she had already returned to Jiankang. At this moment, she was at home safely.

On that day, just dawned, he entered Jiankang, walked through the empty streets, and came to the gate of the Gao family's mansion.

The morning light was dim, and two black painted doors were tightly closed in front of him. In front of the door, only the two lanterns above the door that had not yet been turned off gently in the morning breeze, welcoming his return steps.

He took heavy steps and went up the steps, stood in front of the threshold, plucked up his courage, raised his hand, and held a knocker above the door.

After a long time, there was finally a sound of footsteps of tapping in the door.

With a creak, the door opened a crack.

"Who? Knock on the door early in the morning..."

The head of the Gao family's doorman poked out from the door.

He was sleepy and yawning, and looked at the person standing outside the door.

The man was covered in dust, his face was covered with haggard and tiredness, his eyes were sunken, and his eyes were covered with bloodshot, and he suddenly opened his eyes: "Li Langjun?"

After reacting, he quickly opened the door.

Li Mu suppressed his heart that was suddenly beating violently, stared at the doorman, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Has Madam returned?"

The concierge shook his head: "The little lady has never returned home..."

The moment he heard these words appear in the doorman's mouth, all the thoughts that supported Li Mu's luck and hope were completely shattered along the way.

Cold sweat broke out in his forehead, palms, and back in an instant, and his heart fell to the bottom of the cold abyss. His neck seemed to be tightly pinched by an invisible hand, almost suffocating. But he saw the doorman smiling again, asking him to wait, then turned around and ran back quickly, holding a letter in both hands, handed it respectfully, and smiled: "Li Langjun, why did my little lady guess it? Before he followed Li Langjun, he handed me this letter, and said, "If Li Langjun comes back, I will ask me to pass it on to you."

Li Mu originally felt that he was about to die, but suddenly, he came back to life. He grabbed the letter with a "wow" sound and tore the entire seal and pulled out the letter paper inside.

After taking a look, he instantly stopped from head to toe.

The concierge saw him staring at the letter paper without blinking, his face was distorted, his expression seemed to be laughing, and he seemed to cry. When he took a look, he seemed to be gritting his teeth, which was extremely strange. He was stunned for a moment.

"Li Langjun? What's wrong with you? But I'm not feeling well? What's wrong with the little lady? She didn't go with you?"

The concierge asked him.

"I'm fine. Your little lady is also very good. You don't have to tell your parents-in-law what I've been here."

Li Mu crunned and gave an order. He took a quick step down the steps, climbed up the horse, galloped away with one man and one horse, and disappeared into the dawn in a blink of an eye.

...

Late that night, Li Mu rushed back to Jingkou.

He did not enter the town, but went directly to the southern suburbs.

Wu Zhi's foot strength finally arrived in front of the gate of the manor located in the southern suburbs of Jingkou, and was exhausted and sweaty, as if he had just been fished out of the water.

Feeling the owner let go of the reins of the horse, the back lightened, and the black horse's two front hooves gathered together, kneeled on the ground weakly, sticking out his tongue, and gasping for breath.

It was so late, the manor gate had already been closed and the door was pitch black.

Li Mu ran to the door and slapped the door hard. The banging sound spread out quickly in the night.

Fan Cheng held a night patrol torch in his hand and walked out quickly. Seeing Li Mu, he shouted happily, then seemed to think of something, looked apologetic, and hurriedly saluted him, whispered: "Governor, I'm sorry. It happened suddenly that day. I just sent my wife onto the boat, and the wife said she wanted to leave, and she was not allowed to wait for a moment. I am really..."

Before he could finish speaking, Li Mu passed by him and strode inside.

"The little lady lives in Qinghui Building behind! Pass the corridor! Turn left! The pool is here!"

Fan Cheng shouted at his back.

Li Mu quickly walked through the corridor, headed left, and rushed to the small building by the pool.

The person in the building had already fallen asleep, the doors and windows were pitch black, and the door downstairs was closed.

Li Mu ran to the door step by step, raised his hand to push it, but couldn't push it away.

The door is back-latched.

He slapped the door.

"Who?"

A servant's question came from the door.

"It's me!"

His voice was dry and hoarse, but the servant still noticed it, and heyed, got up quickly and lit the light.

"Langjun Li wait a moment, I'll go and say to the little lady first!"

There was a thud of sound of climbing the ladder.

Li Mu stood in front of the door waiting, but the person was still gasping, and with his hot body temperature sweat rolled down from his forehead drop by drop.
