Chapter 1163 Three-day appointment

After Chen Yixin arranged for Ma Yuling to live in the camp, he did not specifically order to restrict her activity area. After all, it is difficult for people to be cautious about such a little girl who ran away from home. So Chen Yixin and Tian Yeyou both

While working on the construction site, Ma Yuling had the opportunity to walk around the camp and gain a first-hand understanding of Haihan, a group she had once been quite repelled by.

In addition to the special operations battalion and artillery troops stationed here, the remaining personnel in the mining camp are mainly young migrant workers recruited from Dengzhou and Pi Island. However, Ma Yuling was afraid that some locals among them would find out her identity.

I didn't dare to come into contact with these people. I just watched the daily training of the garrison and the work of migrant workers from a distance.

Order can be said to be one of Ma Yuling's most intuitive feelings about this place. Everything seems to be in order. Starting from the wake-up call that rings in the camp in the early morning, everyone starts the day's operations according to the uniformly set schedule.

After Ma Yuling asked the female medical soldier who was taking care of her, she learned that this camp was actually a mine waiting to be mined, and that the newly built road outside the camp was also to facilitate the transportation of ore and materials in the future.

Supporting projects repaired.

Ma Yuling can't figure out now whether she was lucky or unlucky when she followed this fork in the road to the mine yesterday. If she hadn't come here, maybe she would have been caught up by her family and she could still get sea food here at least for the time being.

Asylum from the Han people. But if his identity is exposed, his fate may be much worse than being captured by his family. Although the young officer named Chen seems to have a sense of justice, if he knows that his marriage partner is

Will his boss, or even his boss's boss, have the same courage to continue to protect himself?

Even if you have this courage, you may not have enough ability! Ma Yuling felt a little desperate when she thought about this difference in status. On one side was a small officer guarding the mine, and on the other side was a general with military power. Even if the former objected

I am afraid that this marriage will be difficult to withstand the pressure of power from above. And although Dengzhou is big, where can I go? Even if I run away to my eldest brother, wait for the Majiazhuang family to arrive

, it’s not like he will be captured and taken home obediently.

If Ma Yuling knew that her family had reached a three-day agreement with Haihan, she would be even more sad. She would be forcibly married if she went back. If she didn't go back, her family would be held accountable by Haihan, which would be even more difficult.

However, this pressure is not on her now. The ones who feel nervous about this are the family members who are searching hard for her whereabouts.

The closer to Majiazhuang, the more uneasy Ma Dongqiang felt. On the way back from Dengzhou, he searched more carefully than when he went there, but he still did not get any news related to Ma Yuling. He had already

He had a vague feeling that after leaving Majiazhuang, his daughter did not go directly to Dengzhou, but took another direction that he had not expected. As for the other route that he entrusted to his son Ma Cai, Ma Dongqiang's intuition was also

I don’t think there will be much gain, because Ma Yuling has never walked that route. In this situation of traveling far away from home alone, normal people should choose a more familiar route.

But to the north of Majiazhuang is the sea, and there is no dock and ferry to the sea; to the east is the Jiahe River under the control of the Haihan people, which has long been closed, and only Haihan ships can travel with it; to the south is the mountainous area that stretches for dozens of miles.

The environment is complicated, and it is not easy for a single woman to travel long distances with her luggage. These three directions are not a way out for Ma Yuling. Only heading west to Dengzhou City is the theoretically safer route.

Ma Dongqiang did not believe that his daughter had the ability to cover up her whereabouts so seamlessly. After repeated searches, there was no information at all. It could only be that she had not gone in this direction at all. Thinking about the cause and effect of the matter, Ma Dongqiang wondered whether it could be him.

The concubine Dongmei protected her daughter, and the mother and daughter teamed up to deceive themselves? Maybe Ma Yuling never left Majiazhuang at all, but just found a place to hide. Dongmei lied that her daughter had left home for Dengzhou.

Lure yourself out of Fushan County.

This seems to be the only reasonable explanation that can be drawn at present. As for other less good possibilities, Ma Dongqiang is not willing to think about it in detail now. He only hopes to get the exact information about his daughter's whereabouts after returning to Majiazhuang.

Otherwise, in another day, you will have to face questioning from the Haihan people.

Ma Dongqiang hurried on in the snow, hurriedly and slowly, and finally returned to Majiazhuang that night. However, the route taken by his son Ma Cai was longer and it was estimated that he would not be able to arrive until tomorrow.

The first thing Ma Dongqiang did when he returned home was to ask his daughter Ma Yuling if she had returned home. However, the result made him very disappointed. His family thought he would bring Ma Yuling back from Dengzhou, but he thought Ma Yuling was hiding in Ma Yuling.

He did not leave the village. Although Jiang Sheng also led people to search inside and outside the village during the two days he left, there was indeed no trace of Ma Yuling. And he called his concubine Dongmei for a careful interrogation.

, and did not find any flaw in Jiang Dongmei's words. On the contrary, Jiang Dongmei heard that Majiazhuang went to Dengzhou to look for her daughter twice but could not find her daughter. She burst into tears and complained that Ma Dongqiang should not forcibly betroth his daughter to Haihan.

General, otherwise he would not have forced his daughter to run away from home and end up in the current situation where her whereabouts are unknown.

Of course, Ma Dongqiang also felt helpless. He planned this marriage for his daughter. He originally wanted to consider the interests of the family and try his best to find a reliable husband for his daughter. However, an unexpected combination of circumstances turned a good thing into a bad one.

This has become the current situation. Now the last hope can probably only be pinned on Ma Cai who is still on the way.

Although Ma Dongqiang was extremely tired after running around for two and a half days, he kept thinking about Ma Yuling's whereabouts. He tossed and turned all night and barely fell asleep until almost dawn. He finally fell asleep. However, he couldn't sleep too much.

After a while, a servant woke him up and said that the eldest young master Ma Cai had arrived home.

Ma Dongqiang stood up and put on his coat, and hurried to the flower hall in the front yard. When he saw Ma Cai and his entourage were still dusting off the snowflakes on their bodies, but their daughter Ma Yuling was nowhere to be seen, his face darkened and he said: "I can't find you.

Little sister?"

Ma Cai's expression was not very good, and he bowed and replied: "My child visited me all the way, but I never found out about my little sister's whereabouts. My child knew that his time was limited, and he did not dare to delay outside too much, so he hurried back all night so that his father could make an early decision.

"

Ma Dongqiang saw that Ma Cai's eyes were red, and there was still snow on his head and shoulders that had not been brushed off. He thought that he had to rush back from Dengzhou City for hundreds of miles all day and night. Although he had a mount, it was still a very hard job. At the moment, he also

Can't bear to blame him anymore for his poor performance. Ma Dongqiang raised his hand and gently brushed the snow on his shoulder, and said: "Hurry up and get some hot food for the eldest young master, and make a bowl of hot ginger soup. Don't let this happen."

Snow is making you sick!"

Ma Dongqiang couldn't find his daughter now, which was already a huge loss. He must not involve his son because of this, so he immediately arranged for Ma Cai to eat something to replenish his strength.

Ma Dongqiang was not the only one who was anxious. Jiang Sheng, who was responsible for communicating with Haihan, was also one of the scapegoats. At this time, he was also extremely panicked. After Ma Cai went out, he asked hurriedly: "

Yuling can't be found now, tomorrow is the three-day period, and the Haihan people can't see anyone when they arrive at the village, how should we explain it?"

Ma Dongqiang had thought about this matter repeatedly on the way back, and now he had a general countermeasure in mind. He responded in a deep voice: "Before noon today, we sent people to post missing person notices everywhere outside the village, and offered a reward of 100 taels to find Yuling's whereabouts... Yes

Now, post a few outside the county town to make things bigger, and don’t let people in Haihan become suspicious!"

Jiang Sheng said worriedly: "It's not too early or too late. We put up the notice just one day before the Haihan people are coming to Majiazhuang. It's hard for the Haihan people not to be suspicious!"

"Then what else can we do? Now that no one can be found, we can't wait until General Chen arrives at home to tell him. That will only cause him to misunderstand even more!" Ma Dongqiang also looked helpless.

Ma Dongqiang can be regarded as a popular figure in Fushan County. What he has said can never be swallowed back. Although the marriage cannot be made public before it is settled, there are actually many people who know about it, especially

They are relatives of the Majiazhuang clan, and they have basically heard more or less about the clan leader Ma Dongqiang’s plan to marry the Haihan people. There are also some people who are opposed to this plan, and there are even many who are waiting to get it.

People who see Ma Dongqiang’s jokes.

Ma Dongqiang is naturally aware of these situations. If this matter is not handled satisfactorily, on the one hand, he will offend the Haihan people and bring huge trouble to the Ma family. On the other hand, his own status in the clan will also be greatly affected.

, and these two bad results are unacceptable to Ma Dongqiang. Now it is very likely that he will not be able to find his daughter before the time limit arrives, so he must now try to minimize the negative impact of this incident.

.

For now, the only way is to post the missing person notice first, at least before the Haihan people arrive, let the outside world know that Miss Ma is missing and has not returned, and then try to appease the Haihan people so that they will not pursue this matter.

Now Ma Dongqiang can only be glad that the general Haihan he likes is not enthusiastic about the marriage. He has declined several times. He thought that this time there was an unexpected change, as long as he explained it well and gave some more benefits as compensation, he would not let it go.

The other person is too angry.

As for the true whereabouts of Ma Yuling, in fact, Ma Dongqiang's hope is not too great. The snow started falling in the afternoon of the day Ma Yuling left, and it has not stopped until today. Although it cannot be said to be a heavy snow, it continues like this.

After two or three days of rain, the temperature had already dropped to a level that could freeze someone to death. If Ma Yuling didn't have a definite place to go and wandered around aimlessly, she probably wouldn't have been able to last for three days with her small body.

Two nights.

This kind of inference can be very pessimistic, but according to the clues Ma Dongqiang has now, it seems to point to this only possibility. He asked Jiang Sheng to post the missing person notice, and it is very likely that what he found in the end was just a frozen body.

The corpse in the suburbs. However, he could not say such depressing words to his family just yet. Everything had to be postponed until tomorrow's hell gate.

However, Ma Dongqiang did not need to wait until tomorrow to meet the Haihan people. In the afternoon of the same day, Sun Zhen brought a platoon of soldiers to Majiazhuang. Although the appointment was for the next day, due to security considerations, Haihan

The army must first enter the scene to ensure the safety of the environment. Although it is not necessary to clear out the entire Majiazhuang, it must at least ensure the safety of the inside and outside of Majiazhuang and the main channels in and out of the village. This way, if there is any unexpected situation, armed personnel can cover it in time.

The leaders evacuated. In addition, the water source in the village, the food prepared by Ma's family, as well as the kitchen and cooking personnel that will be used tomorrow must all be monitored in advance. Some fresh ingredients must be prepared today for Ma

Family members eat first to make sure no one is poisoned.

Dengzhou is not the coastal area of ​​Fuzhou and Guangzhou. Although Haihan apparently controls the situation in Fushan County, the public security situation is not as easy as in the south where people can easily enter and leave the Ming people's settlements. For safety reasons, Chen Yixin's security team

But not only the platoon special operations battalion personnel standing in front of the attack, but also the security squad responsible for their personal safety will accompany them, and they must ensure that nothing goes wrong.

Chen Yixin had implemented similar security measures when he was a guest in Majiazhuang last time. Moreover, when Jiang Sheng went to the mine to lobby last time, Haihan had already informed him about security matters in advance, so Sun Zhen brought

When the Haihan Army entered the village, it did not cause any trouble, but many people in the village came out to see the Western scene. After all, the Haihan Army had entered the village last time, and his behavior could be regarded as innocent, and the villagers had the same impression of him.

good.

Sun Zhen led people to check the inside and outside of Ma's house, then asked Ma Dongqiang to gather all the servants in the house together, checked their identities one by one, and then went to the kitchen to watch the cook cook dinner and confirm everything

There is no problem in every aspect.

However, when it was time to start dinner, Sun Zhen still remembered the most critical issue: "Tomorrow, Chief Chen will meet with Miss Ma. We need to confirm Miss Ma's identity first."

Jiang Sheng, who was responsible for connecting with Haihan, asked: "How can we confirm this?"

"Just ask Miss Ma to come out and let us recognize her. From tonight until the meeting ends tomorrow, our female soldiers will be closely guarding Miss Ma's personal safety." Sun Zhen finished speaking and pointed to the two similar people behind him.

The woman in gray military uniform said it was protection, but in fact it was a disguised form of surveillance to prevent the other party from cheating on her. It would be okay to use an ugly person to deceive the chief into a blind date, but it would be a big trouble if she used a female assassin.

Jiang Sheng licked his lips and said with difficulty: "Actually... my niece has not returned from going out..."
