Chapter 297 Ye Mingqi is missing
Chapter 297 Ye Mingqi is missing
Li Mulan had been chatting with Zhang for a while when Wufeng came over with medicine.
Zhang hurriedly stood up and greeted him, "Good morning, sir. What are you doing..."
Wu Feng showed a smile that he thought was relatively kind, "Morning, Madam Li, this is the medicine for Xiao Jiu. I didn't see Qing Yu, so I brought it here myself."
"Medicine?" Zhang was anxious when she heard it. She began to touch Li Mulan and search for wounds on her body. "Where are you hurt, Lan'er? Ah? Let me see."
Li Mulan stopped Zhang's anxious hands from probing her body, and winked at Old Phoenix, "Mom, no, I'm not injured. Is this just a normal medicine for conditioning the body?"
Zhang didn't believe it at all. Her eyes were about to turn red. "Why do you need to take care of your body? You were fine before you left. Why do you need to take medicine after you come back?"
Wu Feng coughed lightly, "Madam Li, don't worry, it is indeed for conditioning the body."
Zhang then stopped and looked like she was listening attentively.
Wu Feng glanced at Li Mulan and continued, "I have been taking care of Xiao Jiu's health. She is in very good health now. Don't worry about that. She is absolutely as healthy as a calf. However, I will still prescribe a few prescriptions for her to drink every year to strengthen her body and replenish her vital energy. It is always good for her."
Zhang finally felt relieved. "Don't blame me, sir. It's just that this girl has never been around since she was a child, and she has always been in poor health since she was a child, so... I was a little too nervous. I'm sorry to make you laugh."
"It makes sense. I can understand it."
Li Mulan held Zhang's hand and said, "Mother, you are such a fool. You don't believe what I say, but you have to hear it from other people's mouths?"
When Zhang heard her daughter's words, she immediately admitted her mistake, "It's my fault. I was wrong. I shouldn't have distrusted Lan'er."
"That's pretty much it."
Zhang was helpless and tapped her forehead with her finger.
Wu Feng watched the mother and daughter get along, and knew that the Li family cared about this girl, as he had seen yesterday, so he felt more at ease. However, he always felt a little empty and a little sour in his heart.
"By the way, Lao Feng... Valley Master, aren't you going to help my brother take a look? Xi'er shouldn't have left yet, why don't we go take a look together?"
Zhang immediately looked at Wufeng expectantly. Xier had suffered a lot since childhood and his health was very weak. Fortunately, Li Mulan came back to help with the treatment and he looks much better now.
"Well, let's go take a look while we still have some time."
Li Mulan asked in confusion, "Why? Are you going out soon? Where are you going? Do you know anyone else in Kyoto? Who? How come I don't know?"
Wu Feng glared at her helplessly, "What's so strange about me knowing someone in Kyoto? Do I have to tell you everything? There are quite a few dignitaries in Kyoto who come to seek medical treatment. If they knew I was here, the ones who came with generous gifts would probably trample down the threshold of your house."
"Oh, okay, okay, you're awesome. So where are you going? I'm planning on showing you around."
Wu Feng smiled and waved his hand, "I made an appointment to play chess with your grandfather. We played late yesterday and there was no winner. We agreed to continue playing after he got out of court."
Li Mulan curled her lips, "Now that we're familiar with each other, I'm afraid you'll feel uncomfortable."
"You are definitely overthinking it. Your grandfather is a very capable person. I can talk to him quite well."
"It's good that we can chat, but I guess the eldest and fifth brothers will come to visit today."
Wu Feng waved his hand, "Don't let Lao Wu come. I think he won't be able to stay even if he comes."
Li Mulan chuckled, "You've come to Kyoto. If he doesn't come to see you, he'll probably be scolded by the master. You should at least say hello."
"Let them be. Let's go and see your brother."

Regent's Palace, study.
There was a thick stack of letters on Chu Chenfeng's desk. He was reading them seriously at the moment, with a frown on his face as if he was a little annoyed.
Xing Yi waited on the side, not daring to make a sound.
After a long pause, he asked, "What do you think about Ye Mingqi's disappearance?"
"I think it has something to do with Simon."
Chu Chenfeng's eyes were cold, "Let the second and third rows take their men to the border immediately. I want to see the person alive or the body dead."
"Yes."
"Has General Ye already set off?"
"Yes, I wanted to come and inform the master, but I was afraid that the news would be leaked, so I set out before dawn."
Chu Chenfeng nodded, tapping the table with his hands, "Where's He Tian?"
"Mr. He is in the mansion. He drank too much with Young Marquis Gu last night. He should... not get up yet."
"Gu Changqing is here too?"
"Yes."
"Call both of them over."
"Yes."
In less than half a minute, He Tian and Gu Changqing came over yawning, their clothes were loose on their bodies, and it was obvious that they were taken out directly from the quilt.
"Big Brother, why are you calling me so early? You won't let me have some peace and quiet even though we're already back in Kyoto."
Chu Chenfeng didn't say a word and made arrangements directly, "Pack up and go to the border. Protect the national general Ye Feng closely. Don't let him have any accidents."
Not only He Tian woke up, but even Gu Changqing, who couldn't open his eyes, woke up. "What happened?"
"I'm not going!"
Chu Chenfeng did not respond to Gu Changqing, but looked at He Tian, "I'm not discussing this with you."
He Tian was furious. "You're getting married soon. If you ask me to go to the border now, I won't be able to make it to your wedding. I won't go."
"If something happens to Ye Feng, then my wedding will be over."
Gu Changqing stepped forward quickly, his face serious, "Also? Something happened to Ye Mingqi?"
Xing Yi replied at the right time, "General Ye is missing."
Gu Changqing was shocked, "Missing? When did it happen? Why was there no news before?"
"The news came from the border at full speed. Not many people know about it. This morning, General Ye set out for the border before dawn."
Gu Changqing was anxious, pacing back and forth in the study, "This... this is..." Then he stopped and looked at Chu Chenfeng with burning eyes, "What do you think? Is it Simon?"
Chu Chenfeng leaned back and rubbed his brows, "Besides them, I can't think of anyone else."
"But Ye Mingqi himself is quite powerful. It is not easy to kidnap him."
"I will ask the second and third lines to take people to investigate, so," Chu Chenfeng looked at He Tian, "Junior brother, Ye Feng must not be in any danger."
He Tian looked a little conflicted, "But... I can't attend your wedding."
"If something happens to Ye Feng, the marriage will have to be cancelled because I have to rush to the border. Do you understand?"
He Tian was irritated and grabbed his already messy hair, "Can't others do the same?"
"I don't trust others. I can only feel at ease if you go."
He Tian was as frosted as an eggplant. "Well... well, when do we leave?"
"Now."
