Chapter 1722: Chapter 1722: Only Your Dad Is Missing

Wouldn’t it be better to keep the female doctor by your side?

"You go, have someone keep an eye on the female doctor!"

He took a deep breath and ordered.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Eunuch Gui responded, sighed softly, and then withdrew.

...

At the border of the Liang Kingdom, in Pan family village of Lotus Commandery’s Dai County, Hongxiang Town.

When Lin Caisang arrived, Sui Zimo had already been there and was more than familiar with the Pan family village.

"Brother Molian, what’s the situation?"

Having found Sui Zimo in a farmhouse, she asked before she could even catch her breath.

"Sit down first."

Sui Zimo poured her a cup of tea and handed it to her.

"Have some tea and rest, I’ll explain it to you slowly," he said.

"Alright."

Lin Caisang was indeed thirsty; she drank down the tea in one gulp, refilled the cup herself, and finished that too before sitting down.

"I’ve already inquired around this village, your father came here four years ago. At that time, people heard his companion calling him Deputy General Lin," Sui Zimo told Lin Caisang.

"Something that happened four years ago?"

Lin Caisang frowned barely perceptibly, looking at him.

"Yes, we can only find information up to four years ago because, according to the information I’ve gathered so far, the last place your father was seen is this village," Sui Zimo explained.

"This is the border of the Liang Kingdom, and Lotus Commandery borders the Man Kingdom. Bandits roam here all year round, and sometimes soldiers from the Man Kingdom break in to steal grain and abduct people.

Four years ago, Pan family village suffered its worst bandit disaster; the village’s women, from seven to over thirty years old, were almost all captured, and not a grain of food was left after the raid.

Your father led his soldiers here and took back both the people and the grain. Then he stayed in Pan family village for two months with his soldiers, digging many secret passages for the villagers to store grain and to hide from the bandits when necessary."

"What happened after that?" Lin Caisang asked.

"An elderly man from the village said that one day, a young lady arrived with a few attendants in a horse-drawn carriage, had a dispute with your father, and the next day, your father was gone," explained Sui Zimo.

"Gone? How did he disappear? Did everyone disappear or just my father?" Lin Caisang asked.

"Only your father disappeared," Sui Zimo said.

"Of course, that young lady and her attendants were also gone.

It seems that lady must have used some method to take Lin Baizhong away, but where could he be now?"

"Is there nothing else?" Lin Caisang asked.

"Based on the villagers’ description of that lady and the dialogue heard during their quarrel, I roughly guess that she must be the daughter of the Lotus Commandery’s Commander Su Wan.

We will rest here for a day, and set off for the commander’s residence early tomorrow to get some clarity."

"Why wait? Let’s go now."

Lin Caisang, impatient, hadn’t rushed here just to eat and sleep.

"Miss Lin, you should rest here for the night. You haven’t rested much on your journey, and it could take a toll on your health," Zhe Jue interjected.

Upon hearing this, Lin Caisang glared at him.

Why mention that now? She was anxious, after all; that was her father, her own father.

"Sang’er, Su Wan might be in Lotus Commandery, but he can’t escape. Rest for tonight, it will also put my mind at ease, alright?" Sui Zimo said, holding her hand with one of his.
