Chapter 0113: Missing
"Master, the secret guard reports that the fifth lady is missing."
"What? What the hell is going on. β
"The wife of Lord Guo of the county order of Wo County, please have a small gathering at home for the rich gentry of the county, and the fifth miss is also invited, during which the fifth lady is not feeling well, and goes to the guest room to rest, and at the beginning of the banquet, Mrs. Guo personally went to invite, but the fifth lady was missing in the guest room."
"What about Mother Liu, she has never been far from Miss Five."
"Mother Liu is also gone."
"What day?"
"Seven days have passed from the time the news was sent to the capital."
"How's it going?"
"Except for the second lady of the Ge family who is sitting at home, everyone else is dispatched, and Steward Lin is working together to find it."
In the palace of Prince Xuanhe, Xuxiang, the second son of Xuxiang, who has been named a general, is fighting with his family in the martial arts arena, and Sun Jing, the former elder who was entrusted with the important task by him, personally ran back to the palace to report the news of Ge Kailin's disappearance.
"Lead the horse." Xu Xiang commanded in a deep voice.
Soon, a tall black horse was brought in, and Xu Xiang turned over on the horse.
"Master, where are you going?" Sun Jing asked.
"You tell the military advisor, and he has full authority over everything."
After speaking, Xu Xiang got on the horse and rushed out of the house directly, leaving the generals to look at each other.
The military advisor Xu Xiang said was Ge Kailin's eldest brother, Ge Kaiwen, who met Xu Xiang when he was ten years old, and it was from that time that Xu Xiang and the Ge family formed an indissoluble source.
Xu Xiang is cold-faced and cold-hearted, Ge Kaiwen is gentle and elegant, these two people are literate and martial, since childhood, one of them pretends to be white-faced, the other sings red-faced, and they get along tacitly.
There is a farm called Lin Zhuang in Wo County, which Xu Xiang bought for the Lin steward who brought him up, and the Lin steward is now in Linzhuang for the elderly.
Sun Jing relayed Xu Xiang's words to Ge Kaiwen. Ge Kaiwen, who has always been gentle, immediately sank like water, and Sun Jing hurriedly said goodbye when he saw this.
Kevin Ge wanted to curse.
My sister-in-law is gone, and I can't wait to go back to find it quickly, but Xuxiang doesn't say a word and keeps a lot of things to himself, which is too much.
Xu Xiang went all the way over the mountains and mountains, and hurried to Wo County. It took five days.
The Marquis of Zhenwu is secretly recruiting troops and plotting against him. Now is an extraordinary period, Xu Xiang can't show up in public as before, and can only live in a small courtyard in the county seat. Let the entourage summon Steward Lin to inquire about the situation.
Steward Lin went straight to the topic: "Mrs. Guo has confessed that she and Shi Liang conspired to transfer the fifth miss, and she doesn't know where she went, it was the fifth miss and Liu's mother who Shi Liang took away." β
"Have you found Shi Liang's whereabouts?"
"Nope."
"Limber. Thank you for your hard work. β
"The old slave is ashamed that he didn't protect the fifth lady."
"What the hell is going on?"
"The guest house where the fifth lady rested that day. It was Guo County's order that was often used to entertain Shi Liang, and it was next to the small courtyard where Guo County's order lived, and Shi Liang dug a secret passage between the two courtyards in order to facilitate his fornication with Mrs. Guo. The exits are under the respective bed boards. Miss Five went into the guest room to rest, Shi Liang arranged in advance for someone in the secret passage to spray medicine into the guest room, and Miss Five and Mother Liu were taken away together. β
Speaking of which. The elderly Steward Lin had to stop and catch his breath.
Xu Xiang poured a cup of hot tea for Steward Lin.
After drinking tea, Steward Lin continued: "The old slave led people to sneak into the Shifu. In Shi Liang's bedroom also found a secret passage, along the secret passage out, is the mass grave of Wo County, there is a direction of weeds and other places are a little different, should be stepped on from time to time, vaguely become a small road, the old slave has sent people along the path to continue to check, along the road to leave marks. β
Xu Xiang got up to rest himself: "Lin Bo has worked hard, I will check it myself, you have a good rest." β
Steward Lin was anxious: "Seventh Young Master, let's go as an old slave." β
"I'm going to find Kaylin myself." Xu Xiang said coldly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the man flew out of the house, and his attendants disappeared with him.
"Alas-" Steward Lin was so tired that he slumped on his seat.
Steward Lin originally wanted to persuade Xu Xiang to hurry back to the capital, but his master was so fast that Steward Lin shook his head and smiled bitterly.
When Xuxiang's mother died, Xuxiang was only five years old, in order to avoid all kinds of persecution inside and outside the palace, Steward Lin disguised Xuxiang as a woman and took him to live in the people.
When Xu Xiang was ten years old, Steward Lin took him to move into Gejiazhuang, and by chance, Xu Xiang came into contact with the Ge family and changed back to his true character as a man.
Among the many brothers and sisters in the palace, Xu Xiang ranked seventh, and Steward Lin always called him the seventh young master.
Following the secret passage said by Steward Lin, as well as the marks along the road, Xu Xiang led his entourage to hurry all the way, and finally arrived at a cliff, where all the original pathfinders were on standby.
In the distance are overlapping mountains, Xu Xiang has good eyesight, he can see the smoke rising there, and he can vaguely hear the noisy shouting, the sound is uneven, there should be a lot of people.
The spy reported: "General, there is a dark workshop that was confiscated a few years ago. β
"Well, you take someone to check forward, and send a signal immediately if there is a situation."
"Yes." A group of people leaves.
"You go to Ge Kaiwu with the token, he knows what to do." Xu Xiang commands another person.
"Yes." The man took the token given by Xu Xiang and left immediately.
The Dark Square is a place where people who once wanted to rebel hid their supplies.
Xu Xiangrang gave Ge Kaiwu a token to tell the Ge family, and the next thing was beyond the reach of the Ge family.
Ge Kaiwu is Ge Kailin's second brother, who takes care of the Ge family's chores and is also Xuxiang's good helper.
A signal was sent from under the cliff, and Xu Xiang led the people to meet the people who went down first, and then headed for the mountains in the distance.
When I entered the mountain range, it was already dark, it was almost the end of the month, the moonlight was not very bright, and the others couldn't see the night scene clearly, so they didn't dare to move forward, but Xu Xiang's eyesight was not affected, and he could see the surroundings clearly.
Opposite the place where everyone stayed, there was a mountain, one here and one there, and there were many caves, most of which were covered by obstacles.
Maybe the other party thought that this place was far away from people, no one would notice, the obstacles used to cover up did not completely cover the hole, people came in and out from time to time, and the voices were not deliberately restrained, and the voices could be heard by men.
Although the people on the other side were wearing homespun clothes, judging from their behavior, they had the momentum of a sergeant.
Xu Xiang clenched his fists, there should be a lot of soldiers hidden here.
The people who hide the soldiers here are really calculating. The dark square was confiscated, this place has long been abandoned, and far away from the capital, as the saying goes, far water can not quench the thirst of the near, ordinary people would not think that someone would hide the soldiers here.
"Ahββ, died of pain. Helpββγ β
Suddenly, there was a scream, and the people who were whispering were silenced.
Xu Xiang was even more heartbroken.
"Ahββ, help. Help......, haha, hahaha, hahahaha. Haha, itchy....... It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, help, help, ....... Hahahahaha, ha......, it hurts. It hurts ....... β
The others were puzzled by what they heard, and Xu Xiang clenched his fists. The joints are tense and "gurgling".
This scream Xu Xiang was very familiar, it was Shi Liang's voice when he was poisonous.
When he was still in Gejiazhuang, Xu Xiang knew Shi Liang, and Ge Kaiwen studied in the same private school.
Shi Liang once intended to insult Ge Kailin's mother and daughter, but Xu Xiang sent Sun Jing to poison him, and he couldn't die, but it was better to die.
When the toxicity attacks, the pain is unbearable for a while, and the whole body itches like thousands of insects crawling for a while.
This poison will follow the person for a lifetime, but the symptoms will not be as tragic as when they were first poisoned, unless there is a trigger.
There is only one trigger that can make Shi Liang scream so miserably, and that is the fluid in Xu Xiang's body.
How can he Shi Liang, how can he de, and the liquid in Xu Xiang's body can be contaminated by him.
Now Shi Liang is like this, there is only one reason, that is, Shi Liang moved Ge Kailin.
When Xu Xiang was born, his father Prince Xuanhe's side concubine made Wen Po poison, and Sun Fuzi used the method of poisoning to make Xu Xiang and his twin sister survive, in order to maintain life, he and his sister could not stop the medicine.
Xuxiang's mother, who was also the root of the disease left at that time, has been relying on Sun Fuzi's medicine to continue her life.
For a long time, Xu Xiang's blood has poison, and it is highly poisonous.
Ge Kailin was born with a heart disease, and Sun Fuzi used Xu Xiang's blood as a medicine to cure Ge Kailin's illness.
Ge Kailin's blood contains the same ingredients as Xu Xiang, although it is very weak.
If Shi Liang hadn't moved Ge Kailin, his poison symptoms would not have been so tragic.
Then Ge Kailin must be in Shi Liang's hands, and Shi Liang did not substantially insult Ge Kailin, otherwise he would have died.
Shi Liang actually touched the person he put on the tip of his heart, Xu Xiang was furious, and he was even more worried about Ge Kailin's safety.
Tortured by poison, although Shi Liang would not know that Ge Kailin was the trigger, but as long as this poison occurs for a long time, the poisoned person will lose his humanity, will Shi Liang be unfavorable to Ge Kailin, or has been unfavorable to Ge Kailin, the more Xu Xiang thought about it, the more chills he felt in his heart.
Now, however, we cannot act rashly.
Once the situation over there is unknown, and then come, for the matter of Zhenwu Hou, Xu Xiang and his eldest brother have been busy for several years, if they rush in at this time, not only will it be useless, but they will also give up their efforts, Xu Xiang felt irritable for a while.
Prince Xuanhe has two sons-in-law, Xu Xiang is the second son, and his half-brother is the eldest and is more than ten years older than him.
Just when Xu Xiang's heart was crumbling, the screams stopped abruptly.
Then, I heard a person scolding: "Listen to him howl twice in three days, maybe one day this waste will be driven crazy, we are out to do big things, but every day to serve this monster who is neither male nor female, I really want to kill him with one palm." β
Another person answered: "Boss, you said that this master is like this, is it related to that Miss Ge Wu, in the past, this master also had occasional seizures, but it was over with patience, since the fifth lady came, this master has become this ghost." β
Hearing Miss Ge Wu's words, the others subconsciously looked at Xu Xiang, and Xu Xiang forgot to breathe.
"Well, what you said also makes sense, I don't know what kind of magic the little lady used, not only this master can't find out the reason, but the brothers are even more wronged to die, I don't know how to die, if I catch that little girl, I will definitely chop her to pieces."
"Don't be a head, although that little lady is a little vicious, but that looks really good-looking, brothers hide in this ravine, have long forgotten what it is like to be a woman, if you catch her, you will abolish her first, and then reward our brothers to enjoy it."
"Cluckingβ"
Hearing the sound of this joint, the people around Xu Xiang mourned silently for the people opposite, and they were remembered by this cold-faced god, and the people on the other side would definitely die miserably.
At the same time, everyone's hearts were also slightly relaxed, listening to the meaning of those people's words, Miss Ge Wu should have escaped from the tiger's mouth, and killed more than one person, and the cause of death is unknown.
As everyone thought, the people on the other side had been written down by Xu Xiang, and now knowing that Ge Kailin was not in the hands of the other party, Xu Xiang's heart was also a little relaxed, but he was even more worried.
Now it's cold, there are mountains everywhere, there are no people, Ge Kailin is born with small feet, and her feet hurt when she walks for a long time, where can she escape from a little girl who is only fifteen years old.
Also, the people on the other side did not mention whether Liu Ma escaped with Ge Kailin, if Liu Ma did not escape, how would Ge Kailin survive alone, if Liu Ma also escaped, Liu Ma is not young, will it drag Ge Kailin down.
The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became, Xu Xiang simply left some people to monitor the other side, and he led people to look for Ge Kailin around.
In addition to the mountains and trees around the dark square, all the caves that can live in people are occupied by Tibetan soldiers, where is the shadow of Ge Kailin.
If there is no near, look for it in the distance, one, two, ten, twenty miles,......, and expand the range in a circle.
A month has passed, and the realm of the search has almost reached the place where the beasts of the old forest in the deep mountains are infested, and there is still no trace of Ge Kailin, and Xu Xiang's heart sinks straight down.
Although the people accompanying him didn't dare to say anything clearly, looking at the look in his eyes, he no longer had hope of finding Ge Kailin.
Xu Xiang was about to continue to push into the outer circle to search, when someone came to report: "General, someone in the dark workshop secretly handed something out, saying that he got it from the person killed by the fifth lady." β
The visitor presented a small section of very thin bamboo tube, one end of which was made of natural bamboo, and the other end was sealed with cement.
Xu Xiang took a small dagger from his waist, carefully took out the glue, turned the bamboo pipe upside down, and a thin silver needle glowing with blue light slipped out of the bamboo pipe, Xu Xiang's eyes darkened.
This needle is very thin, as thin as the finest embroidery needle that Xu Xiang has ever seen Ge Kailin's mother, but it is a little different, this thin needle has barbs at the tip of the needle, and it is easy to nail into the human body, and if you want to remove it, you have to work hard.
If you pull it out like a needle, you have to tear off a piece of flesh, or you have to use a knife to remove the needle, and no matter what you do, the person who has been nailed will have to suffer.
This needle is the flying needle that Xu Xiang gave to Ge Kailin as a toy when Ge Kailin was young.
The reason why the flying needle glows with blue light is because when Xu Xiang was celebrating the New Year in Linzhuang this year, under the pretext of teaching Ge Kailin how to use other flying needles, he once asked Ge Kailin to return the flying needle box, and secretly replaced it with a highly toxic flying needle.
He was afraid that Ge Kailin would not take the flying needle when he knew that it was highly poisonous, so he did not tell Ge Kailin about his replacement of the flying needle, but repeatedly instructed him not to use the flying needle unless it was a very urgent moment.
Unexpectedly, the poisonous needle actually came in handy. (To be continued)
