Chapter 220
A quarter of an hour later, Miss Zhu, who shared the horse with Xiao Yu'er, grasped the reins tightly while pointing to the mountaintop in the distance and said:
"It's here! I escaped from here!"
In order not to scare the snake away, the crowd stopped some distance from the top of the mountain. Two guards from Lin Zijun sneaked up to check it out. After coming down, they shook their heads disappointedly at Lou Rongrong:
"All the thieves and robbers have fled. It should be that they found that there were fewer people, and were afraid of being discovered, so they moved in advance."
Everyone went up to have a look, and sure enough there was no one left, only a mess all over the floor.
There was a row of vacant tile-roofed houses on the top of the mountain. Lou Rongrong checked them one by one. They were all abandoned and vacant, and the cobwebs in the corners were covered with dust.
A guard from the Fengzi Army checked the traces left by the bandits, and said to Lou Rongrong:
"Here they stayed, neither made a fire nor ate, this was not their camp, but a place to rest, but it was still early, and they had not traveled far, and they did not need repairing, and settled here, Most likely waiting for someone."
wait for someone?Lou Rongrong recalled that Miss Zhu mentioned that Yu Yizhu offered to buy everyone with a lot of money, but the thieves only agreed to redeem her alone. It was obvious that they were greedy for money, but they seemed to feel that other people were more valuable than money. more important.
If you can’t figure it out, don’t think about it for now. Saving people is the most important thing.
Lou Rongrong asked him:
"It may be deduced, which direction the bandits have moved?"
While Lou Rongrong and his party were trying their best to search for traces of the bandits, the bandits they were chasing were having a hard time at the moment.
Since the escaped girl Xiao Zhu could not be found, he had no choice but to order his subordinates to take the group of girls to transfer, and inform the other party of the time and place to "pick up the goods".
One Eye is considered experienced, so he specially asked his subordinates to pretend to be farmers, drove the carriage to the road, then found a wasteland and abandoned it, and then divided into three groups, letting One Ear lead the other two teams away Another way, trying to mislead people.
My group directly knocked the girls out and put them in sacks, walked the secret trails in the mountains, and moved between the various footholds after a period of time.
Seeing that the sun was gradually heading west, the brothers had eaten half of their dry food, and the person who had agreed to come to "get the goods" hadn't come yet, one eye became more and more anxious, and they began to scold their mothers in their hearts.
In the capital city, the grand ceremony was not over yet, Fei Wusu was still in the palace, and after the dark guards entered the city, they immediately went to the palace to look for Chun Han.
After Du Juan read the seal, he immediately turned around and went to the camp to order troops.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Yuer's hairpin and Lou Rongrong's letter were delivered to Xiao Li, and Xiao Lidang even let the deputy general behind him lead a group of soldiers and horses out of the city.
The two teams of soldiers and horses arrived at the gate of the city almost at the same time. Unexpectedly, when they arrived here, they realized that they were not the first to come, but the wife of Shangshu Hubu was the first to arrive at the gate.
Mrs. Shang Shu, who learned that her beloved daughter had been captured, fainted from fright. After waking up, she hurriedly asked someone to prepare the bank notes. The mansion found a lame servant with children and relatives in the mansion. When sending people out of the city, no one dared to follow them, nor did they dare to report to the officials, for fear of angering the gangsters.
Unexpectedly, the lady Shangshu had just sent her away when she turned her head and saw two groups of soldiers and horses coming straight to the city gate.
She was startled, thinking of the letter sent by her daughter saying that if officers and soldiers were found ambushing, her daughter would suffer. She was afraid that these soldiers and horses were going towards the bandits, so she stopped them without hesitation.
Xiao Li's deputy general recognized Mrs. Shangshu, and quickly reined in his horse to stop.
Mrs. Shangshu took this opportunity and hurriedly asked:
"The general is leaving the city at this time, but what's the matter?"
On weekdays, a woman can inquire about the secrets of the march, but today's situation is special, the deputy general thought that Mrs. Shang Shu was also a family member of the victim, so he didn't hide it, and replied:
"Madam, don't worry, we are waiting to rescue Ling Ai."
Mrs. Shangshu's eyes darkened, she lost her mind immediately, and opened her arms to block the lieutenant general's horse, preventing the soldiers and horses from leaving the city:
"No! You can't go! You can't go! If you want to go, I have to redeem my precious daughter before going!"
The lieutenant didn't think about it, he told him kindly, but the Mrs. Shangshu suddenly went crazy, and he was trying to persuade him, but Du Juan beside him was impatient, Lou Rongrong told her not to delay for a moment, so she flicked the rein He drove the horse and rushed out, almost bumping into Mrs. Shangshu.
The iron hooves of the army horse came in front of her eyes, Mrs. Shang Shu was really afraid, she subconsciously dodged to the side, but she sprained her foot and fell directly to the side.
Feng Zijun followed Du Juan, and passed Madam Shangshu's horse without hesitation, so scared that Madam Shangshu even rolled and crawled to the side to hide, and even the maid who pulled her aside was so frightened that her face turned pale.
Seeing this, the lieutenant general sighed, and in the end he didn't say any more, and immediately led his troops out of the city on his horse.
In the palace at this moment, the grand ceremony had just ended, Chunhan entered the palace with the palace plaque given to Lou Rongrong by Ying Ze earlier, hurriedly found Fei Wusu, and gave him Lou Rongrong's letter.
Fei Wu glanced at Su Zhanxin, his expression suddenly became serious, then he turned his head and said to Chunhan:
"Go out of the palace, find Xiao Li, and ask him to send more people at the city gate. Anyone suspicious, especially those who may be foreigners, are not allowed to leave the city."
Chun Han was startled:
"Your Highness, foreign forces are actually involved at this time?"
Fei Wusu frowned:
"Being greedy for money, but not wanting money, but wanting to keep people, shows that someone is willing to pay more money for these people. Those little girls are not enough for this amount. The robbers are probably trying to intercept them. By mistake, the wrong person was intercepted."
Chunhan didn't expect that Fei Wusu could deduce so many things just by looking at the letter, so he quickly bowed his head and went out of the palace to inform Xiao Li.
It's not easy to get out of the city gate, that's why, one eye waited hard, but the person who came to "receive the goods" never showed up.
When I waited for the person to come, it was already sunset and stars appeared, and a group of masked talents in black came begging for "goods" from him.
One eye snorted coldly:
"If it weren't for the fact that you gave me a lot, I would really just pay him. Mom couldn't wait any longer."
As he spoke, he kicked open the door behind him, motioning for them to see the girls who were bound hands and feet in the house, and kept backing away in horror.
After seeing the faces of everyone in the room, the man in black headed by clinker said:
"This is not the person I want."
Startled with one eye, he hastily said:
"What? That's impossible! I robbed people according to your requirements. Brothers are risking their heads for this list. You tell me that I robbed the wrong person at this time?"
