Chapter 205: Searching for Someone
Xiao Yucheng took out the portrait of Qin Guangyu that he had hastily painted, and opened it for the teahouse shopkeeper and the hall keeper to identify.
Sure enough, after carefully looking at the portrait, everyone who had seen the situation outside before in the teahouse all believed that the rich boy they saw just now was Qin Guangyu.
At the same time, the guards of the Great General's Mansion next to them quickly dispersed nearby, looking for clues.
However, it was a little deserted here, and according to the people who witnessed Xiao Pei and Qin Guangyu leaving before, that son, that is, Qin Guangyu, did not force the girl to do anything, and the girl should have left with her voluntarily.
As for the two, they left in a sedan chair.
Xiao Yucheng, Hao Jun and others followed the trail, but they didn't expect to find that the two had changed mule carts halfway, and they couldn't find which direction they were going.
The two of them were anxious, they still had a fluke before, thinking that Qin Guangyu might not have bad intentions, but now they were almost certain that this wolf-hearted thing must have bad intentions.
And how could Xiao Pei easily believe it, and leave with this person who had hurt her!
The maid next to me is also useless, don't you see it at all? Thinking that Xiao Pei didn't know what terrible things he would encounter when he went, Xiao Yucheng and Hao Jun still broke out in a cold sweat in such a hot weather, and they were almost crazy.
At this time, the spies who were responsible for paying attention to the changes in the palace of Jingnan County came to report that someone in the palace did go out this morning, but it was not the county lord Li Ying, but Li Zhen, who had not been recovering from a serious illness for a long time.
Somehow, when he heard that it was Li Zhen, Xiao Yucheng felt his heart beating wildly. Thinking of the rumors about this gentleman, the two asked if they knew where Li Zhen had gone almost without thinking. But someone from the General's Mansion followed.
However, the spies of the General's Mansion did not follow, and only roughly knew the direction in which they were going.
Xiao Yucheng and Hao Jun naturally immediately got on their horses and prepared to rush over.
went out and met another neighbor of the Xiao family, Jiang Qingyuan. The two hurriedly greeted each other on the horse. Just wait to drive the horse forward.
But Jiang Qingyuan stopped the two and asked, "The two of you are in such a hurry, but what happened?" ”
Because he saved Xiao Yu last time, although Xiao Yucheng was in a hurry, he couldn't help but nod patiently: "Now I have something urgent to go out, and I will talk to my son in detail next time." ”
And Hao Jun next to him had already shown an anxious and unhappy look.
Jiang Qingyuan nodded apologetically, and then said, "It's abrupt." I wanted to ask if this urgent matter had anything to do with Sister Ling......"
"What?"
"Why do you say that?"
The two people who had already ridden forward forcibly stopped Mahler when they heard the words, and Xiao Yucheng asked eagerly: "Why, could it be that Jiang Gongzi has just seen his sister?" ”
After speaking, both of them looked at Jiang Qingyuan anxiously. I'm afraid I'm going to hear it.
Seeing Jiang Qingyuan nodded, Hao Jun immediately shouted to the guards next to him: "That's great, go and prepare a horse for Jiang Gongzi!" ”
Then he turned his head and said, "Please also ask the son to lead the way, let's talk on the way!" ”
Seeing this, Jiang Qingyuan realized that the matter was urgent. There was no delay either. Seeing that the guards had brought the horse over, he turned over and got on the horse without saying a word, and then immediately hit the horse forward, and without waiting for Xiao Yucheng and the two to inquire, he said what had happened.
It turned out that Jiang Qingyuan rushed back from the outskirts of the city today, but from a distance, he saw a carriage and horses parked next to the official road not far from the south gate, and a girl was helping the maid to get down from the mule cart, and her figure seemed to be a little familiar. I took a few more looks, and immediately recognized it as the eldest girl of the Xiao family.
At that time, Xiao Pei seemed to be preparing to change to the carriage next to him. There was nothing unusual on his face.
Jiang Qing originally thought that Xiao Yucheng should also be there, and was about to step forward to say hello, but the group in the distance quickly changed the carriage and went to another avenue next to it.
The mule carts turned around and headed back to the city.
Seeing this, Jiang Qing originally thought that the two sisters and brothers of the Xiao family had gone to play somewhere on the outskirts of the city, but they didn't go to their hearts, so they went straight back to General Lane.
Because the General's Mansion was sending people to investigate, Jiang Qingyuan found that the atmosphere was not right when he arrived nearby, and suddenly felt that something was strange about what happened not long ago, so when he saw Xiao Yucheng and the others, he immediately stepped forward.
Hearing Jiang Qingyuan say this, the three of them were puzzled, didn't Xiao Pei see anything? Why didn't he say a word to Xiao Yucheng, he went to the suburbs with Qin Guangyu alone, and it didn't look like he had been kidnapped.
The maids around me don't stop me!
Now I just hope that everything is still in time and can catch up as soon as possible.
A few people chose a shortcut road where there were fewer people in the city of Yong'an County, rode their horses and galloped wildly, and soon arrived outside the south gate, chasing them in the direction where Xiao Pei and his party had left.
Before coming out, Bai Yu deliberately dispatched a few spies who were good at tracking to Xiao Yucheng and Hao Jun, which came in handy at this time.
In addition to questioning passers-by, these people also chased all the way to the wilderness according to the ruts and other traces.
And Xiao Yucheng and Hao Jun saw that this road was becoming more and more remote, and their hearts had already sunk to the bottom, and they didn't dare to imagine what would happen to Xiao Pei in such a suburb.
When they turned around a dense forest and saw the carriage in front of them, the hearts of several people suddenly rose again.
Several people galloped over without hesitation, and happened to see a scene that was jaw-splitting! I saw two ruffian-looking men pressing Shiso down on the grass, tearing his clothes without any scruples, intending to do beastly things.
Xiao Yucheng thought of Xiao Pei when he was on the board, only to feel that his blood was surging, and he rode over, and with a wave of his long knife, he cut the two under the horse.
I saw that Shiso was already unconscious.
At this time, Hao Jun, who was also furious, shouted, and together with Jiang Qingyuan, he cut down the guards who surrounded him when he saw someone rushing to the ground.
Xiao Yucheng didn't care about Zisu, turned around and looked around, didn't see Xiao Pei, but saw Li Zhen getting down from the carriage in the middle in disheveled clothes, and immediately rushed over.
The long knife came with a strong wind, and Li Zhen seemed to have felt the chill of the blade, and fell to the ground in fright, closing her eyes.
But listening to the crisp sound of Jin Ge's exchange of blows on his head, someone blocked Xiao Yucheng's knife.
Li Zhen escaped death and was overjoyed.
Xiao Yucheng missed a blow, and he also remembered Xiao Pei in his heart, so he didn't dwell on it much, just snorted coldly, hurriedly went to the side of the car and lifted a corner of the curtain, but suddenly didn't dare to look inside.
After settling down, Xiao Yucheng resolutely looked at it.
I saw Xiao Pei lying there in the car with some messy clothes, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.
"Sister!" Xiao Yucheng suddenly felt like he had been hit in the heart by a heavy hammer, and his heart screamed like a knife, and he jumped into the carriage.
"What's wrong?!"
Hao Jun's heart was cold, and he couldn't help but rush forward.
At this time, Jiang Qingyuan, who had just blocked Xiao Yucheng's knife next to him, put the sword on Li Zhen's neck.
Li Zhen originally thought that Jiang Qingyuan was from his side, but when he saw this, he didn't dare to move anymore, but he said: "You should know who I am, if you hurt me, you must be ready to bear the wrath of Jingnan Palace!" ”
Jiang Qingyuan really withdrew his long sword when he heard this. (To be continued......)
