Chapter 321: The Visitor (1)
It is said that Huaxing only took three people on the trip that night. What did they talk about with Cao Cao, our eyeliner is not yet in touch. β
"This Huaxing, doing some mysterious things, it's really troublesome. Let them keep inquiring, and before the end of the month, they must find out what to do with me! Rupu ordered.
"Don't worry, I'll always follow up on this."
"Well, for your sake, this first ...... I'll give you something to eat first. β
As he spoke, he saw Lu Pu put the freshly fried steak on a plate and served it to William.
But today's William Yang is different from the past.
Faced with the freshly baked steak, he didn't seem to be very interested, and he didn't reach out to pick it up after waiting for a long time.
Seeing this scene, Lu Pu immediately showed a puzzled look:
"What? Not hungry? Or have you eaten it on the road? β
"Neither, neither." William Yang hurriedly shook his head and replied, "It's a subordinate who still has something to report to you!" β
At this point, Lu Pu realized that something was not quite right with William, and his eyes moved from the stove to the other party's face:
"What's the matter? It doesn't seem like a trivial matter to make you not interested in steak? β
"Alas!" After a light sigh, I saw William Yang frowning, and said with a solemn face:
"It's Jessica who has an accident! She...... I was kidnapped. β
"What?"
As soon as these words came out, Lu Pu stared at him on the spot, stared at William and asked:
"When? Tied up by whom? β
"Six days ago, when Liu Xie and his party were passing through Yiyang, they encountered a group of bandits. These thieves not only robbed money, but also robbed sex. According to the palace maids, Jessica tried her best to hide her appearance, but was eventually taken away by the other party. β
As soon as he heard that he had been kidnapped by bandits, Lu Pu was not so nervous.
Because he knows that it is impossible for an ordinary bandit to cause harm to Jessica.
But then again, Jessica is a woman after all, and she has a lot of secrets on her back.
She disappeared so suddenly, and it is unlikely that Lu Pu is not worried at all.
So it didn't take long for Lu Pu to ask again:
"What kind of bandit is that? Did you find out? β
"Since these thieves are all wearing masks, and no one has seen their movements afterwards, no one knows where they came from at this time." William replied apologetically.
"With a mask?" After asking a rhetorical question with a puzzled face, he heard Lu Pu say again: "Is there any movement over there Liu Xie?" β
After returning to the city, Liu Xie led the troops out for the first time to rescue Jessica, but the result was not ideal. Although he cleaned up two thieves' dens, he found no whereabouts of Jessica. β
"None? If you can commit a crime in Yiyang, it must be a nearby thief, how can you not find it? β
After touching his lower lip and pondering for a moment, he heard Lu Pu ask again:
"By the way, what are they doing in Yiyang? It's not easy to go back to Luoyang from Xuchang? Also, don't they have Cao Cao's protection? How could it be easily captured by bandits? β
"The trip to Yiyang seems to have been decided by Liu Xie temporarily. As for Cao Cao, he led the troops back to Xuchang in the early morning of the same day. Why did he mention leaving, and his subordinates didn't know very well. β
"Well, the soldiers who withdrew in the morning met bandits in the afternoon, which is too coincidental, right? There's definitely something wrong with that......"
After frowning and muttering to himself, Lu Pu quickly fell back into deep thought.
This time he thought about it for longer than last time, and William Yang didn't dare to say anything to disturb him, so he could only stand aside and wait quietly.
After about two or three minutes, Lu Pu returned to reality:
"I don't think it's simple, and it's probably a deliberate act. In the past two days, you have to work hard, continue to stay in Luoyang to find out the news, and strive to find out Jessica's whereabouts as soon as possible. β
"My subordinates understand! I'm going to do my best. β
"Also, tell the others about it. Let them all keep a snack and report to us as soon as there is any situation. β
"Okay, I'll send them a letter later." After nodding respectfully, he heard William Yang ask again:
"Then if there is news, will it be sent to Xingyang for you, or ......?"
"Nope! You send someone to send the news directly to the village. Lu Pu replied quickly.
"Yuanyuan Village?" William Yang frowned and confirmed, "You mean...... Huaxing that? β
"That's right! I'll leave early tomorrow morning. It's time to meet him again. β
β¦β¦
The next day, in the village of Yuanyuan.
After dealing with military affairs, Huaxing went to Jessica's cell alone.
He hadn't been here since he met each other five days ago, and today was their second meeting.
Seeing the visiting Huaxing, Jessica, who was in shackles, stood up from the ground in an instant. The first thing he did was to ask if he had met with Rupu:
"Team Hua, you're here! What do you think? Have you seen the Marines in the past two days? What did heβwhat did he say? β
In Jessica's opinion, as long as Lu Pu knew that she was in Huaxing's hands, he would definitely try his best to rescue her.
Therefore, the thing she is most concerned about now is whether Huaxing conveys this information to the other party.
"Not yet. I haven't seen him recently. Huaxing shook his head and replied.
"No, no? Why? Jessica was slightly disappointed and said:
"Didn't you say you'd go see him the next day?"
"Well, I did, but then I changed my mind. I still think that you should be clarified first, and then talk to Lu Pu. β
At this point, I listened to Huaxing's voice, and did not give the other party a chance to speak at all, and continued the topic last time and asked:
"It's been so many days, you should have the answer figured out, right? Say, why did you tell Liu Xie about the iron mine? β
In the face of Huaxing's questioning, Jessica could only put Lu Pu's matter aside for the first time, and replied along the other party's topic:
"Alas, well! Then I'll be honest with you. I told Liu Xie about the iron mine, in fact, I just wanted you to take the initiative to find me. β
"What do you mean by that?"
"I've wanted to get in touch with you all these years, but the Marines haven't let me. I didn't dare to offend him, so I could only make some small moves secretly and tell Liu Xie about the iron mine. In this way, the Chinese team will notice me, and I will have the opportunity to meet you. β
The above statement is the reason why Jessica finally came up with it through these five days of thinking.
It's still a bit far-fetched, but it's the best answer she can come up with.
"What? You mean, you made such a big move, even at the expense of causing a war, just to attract my attention? Huaxing couldn't believe it.
"That's right!"
Jessica replied with a "sincere" face:
"It may be a bit of a cost, but it's worth it to meet you."
