In the days when Li Ge disappeared a few months ago, due to the uprising in Shouzhou, Shouzhou was almost completely cut off from the outside world.
However, only one fleet was able to sail directly from Shouzhou to the south of the Yangtze River without any hindrance. , and then followed the Yangtze River to Kuizhou.
The merchant ship carried only some ordinary supplies, but Zimin discovered the clues about these ordinary supplies.
The merchant ships were transporting Shouzhou’s specialty Bupleurum shou and Artemisia chinensis from Zhengyangguan.
These two seemingly ordinary herbs were dried and shipped to all parts of the country, becoming commonly used herbs in major pharmacies.
This seemed to be an ordinary herbal transportation, but Zimin discovered the problem.
It was still autumn in Kuizhou three months ago, and it was no surprise that winter began after the herbs were delivered.
But Kuizhou is different from other places.
It is located on the side of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River.
The entire city is surrounded by the Yangtze River and mountains.
Although the temperature is not too high or too low all year round, the humidity is very high.
Especially in winter, the entire Kuizhou seems to be shrouded in a layer of cold water vapor, and the humidity is much higher than in other seasons.
The batch of herbal medicines from Shouzhou arrived before winter.
In other words, after arriving in Kuizhou, this batch of herbal medicines directly entered the wet and cold period in Kuizhou.
If too many preparations were made, more than 80% of the herbal medicines would be destroyed due to Invalid due to mold Every businessman will consider profit when doing business, but this batch of goods is typically a waste of natural resources.
Zimin immediately judged that there must be something important or someone hidden in that batch of herbs.
After thinking carefully about Li Ge's kidnapping, he concluded that Li Ge was hidden in those merchant ships and came to Kuizhou.
But after searching in Kuizhou for nearly a month, he still didn't find anything about Li Ge's whereabouts.
Li Ge's portrait has been distributed to all the elite shadows, but almost everyone failed to find a woman similar to Li Ge after quietly sneaking into various portals.
Looking at the calm Xue Cong, Zimin frowned slightly.
This prefect was completely different from the officials in the court who were looking for opportunities to get promoted.
There was no desire in his eyes.
Since he has no desire to be a high-ranking official, why would he want to be the prefect?
There is only one purpose, Xue Cong is hiding his true identity just like himself Zimin took a sip of the wine in front of him, picked up his chopsticks and tasted the spicy fish in the steaming earthen pot in front of him.
He said it was so satisfying.
"In this cold and humid weather, eating such delicious food is really a pleasure in life," he said loudly while wiping the sweat from his forehead while eating.
Seeing that he seemed to be no longer wary of him, Xue Cong breathed a sigh of relief.
"Have you found the person you are looking for in Kuizhou?"
he asked appropriately.
Zimin seemed to be busy dealing with the food in front of him.
He just raised his eyelids slightly and glanced at him: "I'll leave in a few days after I find it."
Xue Cong's eyes narrowed slightly, and his heart couldn't help but beat a little. impossible How could he find Xia Lige?
But these days he is busy dealing with Dugumu and has not returned to the Villa for several days.
Could it be that Suddenly he felt restless.
If Xia Lige was found by him, wouldn't all his previous efforts be wasted?
Zimin sat opposite, still eating the steaming food happily, but his eyes did not leave his face.
He had already seen Xue Cong's slightly nervous expression through the heat.
Your Majesty, you lost a demon queen
