Chapter 157: The Hunt
Hong Lie clicked on the address book and dialed Huo Liren's phone.
On the other side of the phone, as usual, no one answered.
Hmph, hiding doesn't work?
Hong Lie coldly hooked the corners of his mouth and dialed Huo Liren's assistant Zhao Feng's phone.
Soon, Zhao Feng's formulaic voice came from the other end of the phone: "Mr. Hong, hello! I don't know how I can help you?"
As Huo Liren's most loyal assistant, he can be said to have learned the trick of hiding the knife in his smile!
Hong Lie snorted disdainfully, and said angrily: "Don't play these false things with me." You tell Huo Liren for me, I now know Huo Liting's whereabouts, and I also know how Yun Tian contacted him before. I can try to trick Huo Liting over now, can you ask him if he dares to come and meet? He only has half an hour to think about it. In half an hour, I will leave here, and then you can do whatever you want with Yuntian. ”
Zhao Feng's face was shocked, but his formulaic voice did not fluctuate, but revealed a little concern: "What's wrong with Mr. Hong? Are you sure it's not your own son, and you're going to give up?"
"Whatever you think, I have more important things to do anyway! You ask Huo Liren, whether he sees it or not!" After Hong Lie finished speaking, he hung up the phone directly.
Zhao Feng frowned, turned around and quickly knocked on the door of Huo Liren's study: "Boss, that Hong Lie has called." ”
He repeated Hong Lie's words to Huo Liren in 1510, and added: "Boss, his speed of speech sounds very anxious, and his attitude is unusually rude and arrogant. Does his subordinate think he wants to play some tricks?"
In the dimly lit room, Huo Liren reclined in a wheelchair, playing with a delicate antique lighter in his hand.
In the flickering firelight, a contemptuous smile appeared on his half-hideous, half-handsome cheeks: "He seems to be respected by everyone in the Qingbai Country, but in fact, he has never had real power in his hands. I just know how to eat, drink, play and enjoy life every day, what tricks can I play?"
"That's right!" Zhao Feng reacted and echoed with a sneer: "He can still rely on his title as the third prince in Qingbai Country, but this is our Z country." His identity as a prince is still hidden, and he can't make any waves. ”
Huo Liren smiled with peach blossom eyes: "Inform him that I agree to meet and let him prepare well." ”
"Understood. ”
Zhao Feng understood, and Ma Commander dialed Hong Lie's phone: "Mr. Hong, our boss is very busy, I hope you will prepare your praise well, don't let us down!"
There was obvious provocation in the smiling voice.
"Don't worry, I'll let you go home with a full load!" Hong Lie gritted his teeth.
He hung up the phone, his handsome face cloudy, as if he was about to roll up a storm at any moment: "You devils with no lower limit! I ignore you, you really think I am a coward who has nothing." Oh, you can't see me, but if you want to move the people I love, it's a big deal to burn the jade!"
The last few words seemed to be squeezed out of his teeth, with a devastating anger.
He clutched his phone, and on the back of his hand, the muscles were bruised.
......
In an unfamiliar room, the woman on the bed slowly opened her eyes.
As far as the eye can see, the snow-white ceiling and walls, and a bouquet of fresh flowers in a wooden vase in front of the simple wood-colored window facing the bed.
A gentle breeze blows, bringing the delicate scent of flowers and the damp and salty smell of the sea.
"Where is this?"
Xiao Nuan muttered unconsciously, and when he spoke, he felt that his voice was hoarse and ugly.
"Yikes!"
Next to the bed, a girl lying on her stomach was awakened by the sound.
She raised her head suddenly, looked at Xiao Nuan's sleepy eyes, and instantly burst out with joy: "Are you awake? How do you feel?
Xiao Nuan turned her head and saw a young girl with slightly brown skin. Her head was tied with a small dreadlock, her bright eyes were shining, and her lips were raised and her smile showed a neat white tooth.
Xiao Nuan frowned suspiciously, what kind of place is this? Why can't she understand a word of what this girl said?
She pursed her lips and tried to ask in English what the place was, and the girl had a blank expression on her face.
She changed to Qingbai Chinese again, and the girl was still at a loss.
Xiao Nuan's face changed four or five languages, and the smile on the girl's face gradually faded.
She stood up suddenly, turned and ran out.
Xiao Nuan was stunned, and was thinking about whether she was going to call someone, when she saw the girl walking in with a bowl of water.
The girl helped her to sit up first, and then handed it to her with the bowl in both hands, and the smile on her face returned.
The girl raised her chin towards Xiao Nuan and made a gesture to drink water.
Xiao Nuan reacted at this time.
Her throat was dry and aching, and she didn't care about anything else, so she took the bowl and took a sip first.
The cold, sweet water ran down her mouth and moistened her throat, and she immediately felt much more comfortable.
Xiao Nuan raised the bowl towards the girl and thanked her sincerely.
The girl smiled shyly, pushed the bowl to her lips again, motioned for her to drink more, and then turned around and ran out quickly.
Xiao Nuan drank another half bowl of water, and she could hear the girl's crisp voice shouting a few times outside, although she couldn't understand it at all, but soon she saw a tall young boy with the same brown skin as the girl walking in.
The girl followed the boy and chattered, the boy nodded frequently, and then said to Xiao Nuan in jerky English: "What country are you from?
This time, it can be heard.
But Xiao Nuan didn't answer immediately, she thought for a moment, pretended to be painful and put down the bowl, rubbed her temples: "I'm sorry, I can't seem to remember! I only remember that the plane exploded, there were so many fires, so many fires......
There was horror on her face, and the boy immediately reassured, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, you're safe now." How are you feeling right now? Do you feel anything uncomfortable?"
Xiao Nuan's whole body was in pain, but as a doctor, she could tell that there were no major injuries on her body, it was nothing more than the wind pulling, the sea water immersion and those skin injuries that were inadvertently scratched by the wreckage of the plane.
She shook her head and said in blue and white Chinese: "I'm fine, just weak." ”
After she finished speaking, she seemed to remember something, and quickly changed to Z Chinese. After thinking about it, I still didn't think it was right, so I changed my English again.
The boy looked at her with a sympathetic look in his eyes and explained to the girl next to him: "She seems to have broken her brain, has amnesia, speaks several languages, and can't remember where her home is." ”
The girl's face immediately showed regret, and she talked to the boy again.
The boy nodded, turned to Xiao Nuan and said, "We are a fishing village on the border of Wente Country. Don't look at us here, but we have the best search and rescue team, and they saved you. They found the wreckage of those planes in the place where they rescued you, as if they found the sign of the Qingbai Country, and you may have come from that place. But Qingbai Country is more than 5,000 kilometers away from us, so they are not too sure. But you don't have to worry, take a good rest first, and then slowly remember when you get well. ”
They were very kind and didn't ask, Xiao Nuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you! May I ask if you have found anyone else besides me?"
The boy shook his head: "Not yet, but don't worry, we're still looking for it." If there are other survivors, we will definitely get them back. ”
Xiao Nuan nodded gratefully: "Thank you, thank you!"
The boy translated her words to the girl, and both smiled shyly.
After making sure she had no other problems, the boy and girl left the room together.
"Rest well, we'll come and see you later. ”
Xiao Nuan nodded and smiled, watching their backs disappear, and the tense nerves were completely relaxed.
She propped up her aching body and got out of bed, her gray coarse linen clothes hanging a little on her thin body.
Her clothes were soaking wet, and the girl must have changed them for her.
Xiao Nuan twisted his waist, stretched his legs, and made sure that his body was okay before he began to carefully examine his surroundings.
The furnishings in the room were clean and tidy, even though it was close to the sea, but there was no particularly strong smell of the sea, because there were fresh miscellaneous flowers all over the room.
And the most common thing besides miscellaneous flowers is photos.
On the walls and cabinets, most of the protagonists in the photos that can be seen everywhere are the same man and woman just now.
Snuggling up to each other, making fun of each other, from childhood to adulthood, it looks like it should be a pair of brothers and sisters, and the relationship is very good.
The corners of Xiao Nuan's mouth rose unconsciously, and when her eyes fell on the rattan coffee table on the side of the room, she was suddenly stunned.
There was a phone there, which looked a little outdated, but the wiring was complete, and it should be able to make calls.
Xiao Nuan's eyes were dyed with joy, she walked over quickly, picked up the phone, and listened to the sound of unobstructed sound coming from inside, and she suddenly quickly deducted the phone again.
No, she can't make that call!
When the plane had an accident, it was obvious that someone was deliberately playing tricks. And that person, most likely, is Hong Min, who pushed her into passivity.
Even if it wasn't him, it would definitely have nothing to do with the royal family of Qingbai Country.
Over the years, she has seen with her own eyes how much Hong Min loves her younger siblings, and now it seems that it is just a well-planned script.
But Hong Lie didn't realize it, and he didn't know how to hide many things.
No, maybe Hong Lie didn't know, just to put on a playful posture, so that this big brother wouldn't set his eyes on him?
But Hong Min's gaze moved from Hong Lie's body to Yun Tian's body.
As Yun Tian grows up day by day, the king and queen's love and high hopes for him become heavier and heavier, and Hong Min can't play anymore!
Thinking of Yuntian, Xiao Nuan's heart throbbed.
The struggle for the throne is a fate that no monarchy can escape.
With the change of each dynasty, there will be countless victims.
But she will not let herself and Yuntian become a victim of the power struggle between these brothers in this country.
If this incident was really Hong Min's instructive moves, then he would definitely send someone to determine whether all the people on the plane were dead.
If this call goes out, it may be intercepted and exposed by Hong Min's people.
Xiao Nuan held the hand of the phone and quickly withdrew.
As soon as she calmed down and exhaled, she heard several noisy voices outside at the same time, the girl's crisp voice seemed to be talking excitedly to someone, and the other voices were completely unfamiliar men's voices, with a familiar Qingbaiguo accent.
Could it be that someone has found it?
Xiao Nuan's face turned pale, and he immediately went over to open the door to check.
But as soon as she opened the door, she was greeted by a brown and black smile.
The boy showed a mouthful of neat white teeth, and when he saw Xiao Nuan, he immediately said excitedly in English: "I went to verify it again just now, and that plane is indeed from Qingbai Country." Now there are a lot of Qingbai people from outside, and they are visiting door to door looking for someone, maybe they are here to pick you up. ”
Did it really come so fast?
Xiao Nuan's heartbeat was two points faster for no reason, she leaned on the door, and thanked with a light smile: "Great, thank you!" But you know that my brain is a little bad now, and I may not understand the language, can I trouble you to go out with me and help me make sure?"
"Yes, no problem!" said the boy.
He took the lead in turning around and walking out of the courtyard, considering Xiao Nuan's body, he looked back considerately and said, "I'll go and help you take a look first, you follow slowly." ”
That's exactly what it looks like!
Xiao Nuan smiled and nodded: "Okay, thank you!"
The boy walked out of the courtyard in a few steps, Xiao Nuanqiang cheered up and looked around.
It is a small fishing village by the mountains and the sea, and the front of the yard faces the sea, and from the back door of the yard, there is a dense forest.
The girl stood at the door of another small courtyard on the side of the courtyard and talked to a group of people.
Through the fence, Xiao Nuan could only faintly see that those people were fully equipped and sturdy, obviously prepared.
In my heart, a sense of foreboding welled up.
Xiao Nuan gritted her teeth, turned around the house, went out through the back door of the small courtyard, and walked quickly into the woods.
In front of the small courtyard next door, the girl took a few photos from the translator and flipped through them, and finally picked out one of them and said, "It's her, it's her." That beautiful sister in our family is her. ”
Seeing her brother coming, she handed the photo to her brother and confirmed: "Brother, do you think this is the beautiful sister in our family?"
The boy nodded, a brown smile on his face, "It's her, it's her." ”
The interpreter immediately relayed the words of the two to Kelsang and the others.
This woman is really fateful!
Kesang's heart was ruthless, but his face was smiling with kindness and joy: "Great! God forbid, please take us to see her quickly! Thank you, thank you so much!"
He was anxious and worried: "She's okay, ......is she?
Kersan asked several questions in a row.
With the help of the translator, the brother and sister answered for him one by one.
Kessan didn't listen at all, no matter whether it was good or not, as long as he found the woman, he wouldn't let her get out of here alive.
Soon, the group entered the courtyard.
Without waiting for the siblings to greet them, Kessan's men broke into the house and searched everywhere.
The front yard is empty, the room is empty, and the backyard is empty.
Kesang's face was a little unbearable, and he forced a smile to squeeze out a smile, and said to the brother and sister, "What about people?"
There was no need to translate these words, and the brother and sister showed a blank look on their faces at the same time.
The boy frowned and muttered suspiciously, "She obviously went out with me just now, but she was injured and walked slowly, so I came first." ”
The interpreter immediately told Kesang what he had said.
Kesang's face was instantly clouded, and that cunning demon girl must have run away!
He looked around sharply, making a quick judgment.
The whole fishing village is open and almost unobstructed, and the only way to hide in such a short time is the woods behind the courtyard.
But to be on the safe side, Kesan divided the people he brought into three groups: "You follow this road in the village, you follow this road along the coastline, and the others follow me into the forest." Before it gets dark, make sure you find the woman. As soon as a trace is found, contact is made by radio. ”
"Yes. ”
Everyone agreed in unison and quickly split up.
Leaving the stunned brother and sister behind, Kelsang led the man quickly through the back door of the courtyard into the woods.
In the woods, the vegetation is lush and the vines are growing.
Xiao Nuan woke up, only drank half a bowl of water, and before he could eat, he felt dizzy and dizzy and his limbs were weak after only a few steps.
She cheered up, ignoring the pain in her body, and desperately walked into the depths of the forest.
But it didn't take long for her to hear dense footsteps and Qingbai Chinese conversation behind her.
"This forest looks so barren, does she really dare to come in as a woman?"
"She's a witch and a spy, why wouldn't she dare?"
"Don't talk nonsense, look carefully, she shouldn't be able to go far. ”
With the title of demon girl and spy, who else can there be besides the person of the eldest prince?
Xiao Nuan was sure of the judgment in his heart.
She reached out to pry away the vine that was hanging down in front of her, and secretly quickened her pace.
Caught off guard, a thorn hung on her wide linen trouser legs, and she didn't have time to reach out to pull them, so she struggled hard.
Half of the seemingly soft thorn strip bounced back, instantly scraping a red wound on her fair calf.
"Shhh
Caught off guard, Xiao Nuan exhaled in pain.
Almost immediately, she realized that something was wrong, and quickly shut down, picking up a stick next to her and biting it into her mouth, making sure she wouldn't make the same mistake again under any circumstances.
She didn't dare to stop, and quickened her pace and walked into the woods.
Despite her quick response, Kessan and the others heard the movement.
Kesang waved his hand and pointed in the direction of the voice: "Over there, quick, don't let her run." ”
Only a person with a weak heart will be afraid of her running away.
Xiao Nuan's footsteps getting closer and closer, biting the wooden stick, limped and ran in the woods.
She wants to live, she must live!
Only by living can she expose Hong Min's hypocritical skin!
The people behind were pressing step by step, and Xiao Nuan was desperate to find that there were people in front of him who were dressed in the same clothes as the pursuers and were about to walk out of the dense forest.
If she rushes out at this time, she will only crash into that person's sight.
Xiao Nuan anxiously glanced left and right, and saw a half-human-tall broad-leaved green plant on the right.
The dark green leaves are huge and dense, and it is absolutely no problem to hide them.
Xiao Nuan made up her mind and dragged her legs to hide herself quickly.
Here, she had just carefully hidden her body behind the greenery when the sound of chasing soldiers came from the woods.
"Blood, there's blood, fresh. ”
"She's injured, she won't be able to go far, everyone speed up, look carefully, don't let her run. Kersan again emphasized.
This time, Xiao Nuan heard his voice.
The henchman of the eldest prince Hong Min can't be a real hammer anymore.
Xiao Nuan took off the wooden stick in his mouth, squatted down and covered the wound on his calf with his trouser legs.
Now, it's up to her to see if she can pass this hurdle.
If she hides, she will escape alive, but if she can't, she will surely die.
Xiao Nuan held her breath and vigilantly observed the situation outside through the green leaves.
Several people were searching the place where she had left her blood earlier, and a man pulled a dagger from his waist and walked in the direction of the green plant.
Xiao Nuan's heart suddenly mentioned his throat.
She bit her lip tightly to prevent herself from making a sound, and stored all her strength in her upper body.
Once that person picks up the green leaves to check, then she will crash out, even if there is a 1 in 10 million probability, she will give it a go.
She faintly regretted it in her heart, and whenever she wanted to do it in the future, she had to make sure that she had the needle strap on her body.
Just when Xiao Nuan's mind was spinning rapidly, the man had already walked in front of the green plant step by step.
Xiao Nuan's eyes widened, and his whole body was on guard.
Simply, the man didn't pick up the green plants to check, just shook the knife in front of him a few times, then turned around and took two steps to the side.
Xiao Nuan's tense back relaxed.
But before she could put down the heart she was carrying, she lowered her eyes and saw a brightly colored poisonous snake coiled at her feet.
The viper seemed to smell the blood on her, raised its head high, and spat out scarlet snake letters.
It's really a house leak that happened to rain overnight!
The enemy is close at hand, and there are poisonous snakes salivating.
Xiao Nuan didn't have time to pray and plead in her heart, when she saw the poisonous snake straighten its body and suddenly bite her.
Xiao Nuan's eyes were quick, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he firmly pinched the seven inches of the poisonous snake.
The colorful snake body immediately twisted around Xiao Nuan's arm.
The huge strangulation force wrapped around his arm and made his arm hurt, Xiao Nuan gritted his teeth and held back, increasing the strength in his hand.
After a short period of hold, the snake's body quickly softened.
Although Xiao Nuan didn't make a little painful sound, even breathing was trying his best to forbear.
But when she exerted her strength, the dead leaves under her feet still made a relatively clear rustling sound.
The man with the knife who had just walked away swept his gaze sharply, and then turned around and walked towards the green plant where Xiao Nuan was hiding.
As he approached, he gestured to the other people in the woods, motioning for them to slowly come around.
In this case, waiting any longer is a dead end.
Xiao Nuan turned his heart sideways, Huo Ran got up, and threw the poisonous snake in his hand towards the man's face.
"Ahh
The man screamed in fright and took a few steps back.
Xiao Nuan took the opportunity to pull his legs and ran in the opposite direction.
The huge movement immediately attracted the attention of the others in the forest, and everyone ran in this direction.
Xiao Nuan didn't know how many times she had tripped over the denser and denser vines and thorns, and she had only one thought in her mind, which was to run! But the road ahead was getting denser and harder.
The whole jungle is like a beast with its mouth wide open, waiting for its prey.
Behind him, on his side, on all sides, there were noisy footsteps.
Despair rose little by little from Xiao Nuan's heart......
