As expected, after two drawings, Qin Wenzhengâs eyes began to light up. Then, he started to draw.
He seemed to have found the feeling. After drawing, he looked at it carefully for a moment. Then, he looked up and said, âThank you. Iâll go back and think about it. If thereâs anything I donât understand, Iâll come and ask you.â
âYou really donât hold back.â
âYou said it. A deal is a deal. I donât have to be polite.â
Gu Yundong choked. Seeing that he had rolled up the drawing paper and was about to leave, she suddenly thought of something and hurriedly said, âWait for me for a while.â
As she spoke, she lowered her head and quickly focused on drawing a few portraits.
It was a few unfamiliar faces. Qin Wenzheng looked at her in confusion.
Gu Yundong handed him the three drawings. âYou said that several people in the prefectural city have already learned this drawing method, so I donât have to worry about being exposed. This is my aunt, her husband, and Fourth Uncle. I know that you have connections in the prefectural city, so I would like to trouble you to paste them to the eye-catching place at the city gate.â
Qin Wenzheng did not refuse. After taking a look, he accepted them.
âWhat about your father?â
At the mention of Gu Dajiang, Gu Yundong was still a little hesitant. After some thought, she told Qin Wenzheng what she had heard in Qingâan Prefecture.
Qin Wenzheng frowned slightly when he heard this. After pondering for a moment, he said, âYour concerns are right. I didnât expect your father to be involved in the capture of the bandits. If his portrait is used by the bandits to find him, not only will we not be able to find your father, but we will also harm him.â
As he spoke, he hesitated for a moment before saying, âSince both you and your father are related to this matter, I wonât hide it from you. Thereâs indeed someone behind the bandit leader that was captured in the Xuanhe Prefecture that day. Furthermore, they might be in the Xuanhe Prefecture. After those bandits harmed the Qingâan Prefecture, he didnât escape elsewhere. Instead, he came to the Xuanhe Prefecture.â
Gu Yundong was stunned for a moment before rejoicing. Previously, she had thought that the matter was not as serious as she had imagined. After all, both she and Gu Dajiang were insignificant people. Even if they played a certain role in capturing bandits, those bandits might not remember small fries like them.
Now that she heard Qin Wenzheng say it so seriously, she thought that it was right to take away the missing person notices when she left the Qingâan Prefecture.
Qin Wenzheng: âIâll get someone to post these three portraits to the prefectural city. You can also draw two portraits of Gu Dajiang for me. Iâll get someone to secretly keep an eye on them without exposing the portraits.â
Gu Yundong nodded and lowered his head to continue drawing.
Qin Wenzheng said, âMoreover, according to you, the commander your father met back then was Commander Zhao from the Xuanhe Prefecture. Ever since he contributed to pacifying the chaos, he has already gone to the capital. Iâll write a letter and ask my friends in the capital to ask Commander Zhao if thereâs any news of your father.â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Gu Yundongâs eyes lit up and she could not help but stop drawing. âThank you.â
âThereâs no need. Actually, you said that your father only left Qingâan Prefecture half a month after quelling the chaos. He must have confirmed that you were not there and even learned about your whereabouts. There are only two places he can go. One is Gu village, and the other is Xuanhe Prefecture.â
Gu Yundong thought so too. If her father was in Xuanhe Prefecture, using Qin Wenzhengâs help would naturally be better than finding a needle in a haystack.
She finished drawing the portraits and handed them to Qin Wenzheng.
Before he left, she couldnât help but ask..
