Chapter Twenty-Nine: Return to the City

When Shen Yue heard that Pinglan was kidnapped, he was anxious, since he crossed over, that delicate and lovely girl has been deeply imprinted in his mind, as a loved one in this world, and now someone has touched this scale, which makes Shen Yue, who has always been cautious, angry, and can't wait to gallop to rescue her.

But now the forces of all parties are complicated, and they must not make a wrong step, since they are tied up, there is still a glimmer of life, and forcibly suppress the anger in their hearts, Shen Yue put Gao Sheng into the account and asked him about the details. Gao Sheng took out a letter from his backpack and said,

"Nine days ago, the blacksmith's workshop of the firm was stolen, and some bows and crossbows were lost, so I took my men to guard there, but I didn't expect them to make a noise and kidnap Pinglan at home, and Miss Liu followed them away and never returned. The group left a letter asking Shen Dongjia to return to the city to change people within half a month, and I handed over the people of the firm to the government for protection and rushed over at night. ”

Shen Yue took the letter and looked at it carefully, but he couldn't see any clues, who did it? What's the use of being on your own? So anxious to force themselves to go back, and calculated that if they wanted to return on time, they could only leave the camp alone before the army started, and they were afraid that they would not wait until they returned to the city, but would attack halfway.

The situation was urgent, and Shen Yue didn't have time to think about it, so he took Gao Sheng to Chang Mao Muying to explain the reason.

"Don't be anxious, you kid don't be impatient, you can win all battles by knowing each other and knowing yourself, do you know why they are looking for you?" Chang Mao said with a smile.

Shen Yue saw that his expression was calm, this Master Mao had seen many tricks, and he must have already had ideas, so he hurriedly asked him.

"In our opinion, your kid's greatest ability is to make firearms, and this Northern Expedition has also made some fame. Do you remember that when we went to block the 5,000 yuan soldiers who came to help, they were able to take a detour into the mountains to outflank them, and there must be locals who are familiar with the terrain to receive them, so it is very likely that they want to arrest you back after they escape, but you have been in the army and it is inconvenient to start, so this is the plan to transfer the tiger away from the mountain. ”

Shen Yue listened to Chang Mao's analysis, it was indeed reasonable, the news that he was pregnant with the Holy Fire Order had not leaked, and in terms of time, only that group of people could rush back to Wei County to make this strategy.

"Since it is an important matter in the army, please also ask the general to transfer some men and horses to me, in case I am really captured by them, I am afraid that they will squeeze out some secrets." Shen Yue said to Mu Ying, now that Guan Xing and the others are not around, it will be dangerous if Gao Sheng accompanies him back, it is best to bring some soldiers to accompany him, not that Shen Yue is afraid of death, but that he hopes to grasp the initiative as much as possible, so that he can calmly arrange and rescue Pinglan safely.

"The people and horses in our army are all under the control of the imperial court, how can you send troops casually because of your personal affairs, it is already a rule to allow you to leave on your own, don't mention the matter of borrowing troops again." Mu Ying said solemnly.

Shen Yue saw that it was difficult for him to intercede, Chang Mao was unmoved, sighed indignantly, and got up to leave.

Although he did not borrow soldiers and horses, Shen Yue had no intention of delaying, even if this trip was dangerous, he would rescue Pinglan, and then respond to the situation. Immediately went out of the camp with Gao Sheng and rushed back to Wei County.

The two of them ran for a day and a night, and the four horses they rode in rotation were tired, so they found a mountain and a forest and a stream to rest for a while, and they were just about to bend down to drink water, when suddenly there was a rumbling sound of horses' hooves in the distance, which sounded like there were two or three hundred horses.

Shen Yue got up and stood up, and said in his heart that those kidnappers had appeared so quickly, called Gao Sheng, who was about to get up and get on his horse, and walked calmly to the mountain road.

When the group of centaurs arrived, the armor was bright and familiar.

"Brother Shen is walking so fast, we didn't stop all the way to catch up." The leader dismounted and said, it was Zhao Meng who came over with a smile.

"How are you?"

"Brother Shen, don't complain about General Mu, he didn't promise to send troops at that time because he didn't want to save him, those kidnappers can find out about you, they must have spies in the army, if you directly let the troops out, I'm afraid it will make them prepare in advance, so I asked me to go out of the camp secretly and come to help."

Shen Yue listened to his explanation, and his heart was greatly moved, he didn't get along with Mu Ying much, and he was also a little afraid of his strictness, and he was also angry when he went out of the camp, but he didn't expect him to be so thoughtful and thoughtful for himself, the thin figure with gray hair appeared in front of him, and his heart suddenly felt sour. reminded him of his father, who had the same bleak back and was so stern, but he was always silently thinking about himself.

Shen Yue turned his back and wiped away the tears in his eyes.

With this group of people and horses with them, nothing unusual happened on the way back to the city, Shen Yue estimated that the group of kidnappers saw that there were many people, so they didn't dare to come rashly, so they changed their plans. Now we must rush back to the city, where we should be able to find some clues, and the kidnappers will definitely keep someone under surveillance, and will continue to send people to contact them.

After several days of running, the group finally rushed back to the county seat. There was no time to rest, so Shen Yue came to the backyard of the business to meet Pinglan's mother, Wang.

After all, Pinglan was implicated because of herself, and this family has accompanied her to the present and experienced too many twists and turns. At this time, the Wang family and Pingyuan were together, their faces were haggard, and when they saw Shen Yue enter the door, they stepped forward and hugged Shen Yue's shoulders and cried, these days Pinglan's life and death are unknown, their orphans and widows are frightened, and they are worried all day long, and now Shen Yue is back, and finally finds the backbone of the heart, and the pain in his heart erupts at once, and it is difficult to hold himself.

Shen Yue felt ashamed and comforted softly,

"Auntie, I'm scared of you, I'm back now, even if I give up my life, I will definitely save Lan'er safely."

Patiently comforting the two, Shen Yue walked out of the door, his face suddenly became cold, since those kidnappers acted so despicably, then be prepared to be aware of their lives.

"Shen Dongjia, that person has been secretly arrested, and now he is placed in the firewood room at the back door." Gao Sheng walked up and whispered.

Shen Yue followed him to the firewood room, Zhao Meng was taking a few soldiers to guard an unkempt man, who seemed to have been beaten badly, and became honest at the moment, kneeling on the ground obediently.

"Lai Ba, do you remember me?" Shen Yue asked gloomily.

The man who was kneeling on the ground looked up and saw the young man who had come in and asked, and he trembled with fright, and stammered in reply,

"Shen Dong... Home, find me... Looking for a small one... What are the commands? ”

Lai Ba complained bitterly in his heart, since the last time he besieged the Beacon Merchant and was injured by Liu Ruoshui, he planned to take revenge again, but he didn't think that only a day or two later, the Huang family, the most powerful in the city, was driven out of the city and was wiped out. Fang knew that although Shen Yue was young, he was ruthless, so he quickly extinguished the idea of revenge, and was worried all day long, lest he come to the door. Later, when he saw that he had no intention of dealing with himself, he breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't expect to be tied up here by a few soldiers while he was still asleep today, did he want to reopen the old accounts?

"Before, you stood up for the Huang family and smashed my beacon firm, your life has long been in my name, but I didn't pull out my hand for a while, now that you have time, how do you say we should calculate our account?" Shen Yue squatted in front of Lai Ba, poked his bleeding wound with his hand, and said with a smile.

Seeing Shen Yue's devil-like smile, Lai Ba's soul took a big leap and begged for mercy.

"You have a lot of adults, and the villain was forced by the Huang family to do such stupid things, you will spare my life, in the future, if you have orders, the little ones will go to the soup and fire, and honor you before and after the saddle."

"It will not be difficult for me to spare you, but for now you can help me find out about something, call your brothers, and help me in the city to spy on any suspicious people, especially near our business. If you can do it this time, then let's discuss your business again. ”

Hearing that Shen Yue had something to do by himself, Lai Ba put his mind at ease, hesitated and said,

"You really found the right person, if you want to talk about the big and small affairs in this county, what kind of wind and grass can avoid us, but my dozens of brothers are scattered, and they also need some silver and two dozens, can you see if you can help first?"

Shen Yue didn't speak, he gave Zhao Meng a look, and with a bang, Zhao Meng pulled out his knife and cut off one of Lai Ba's fingers, and he screamed like a pig in pain.

"You see if this is enough, if you are not satisfied, I will give you more." Shen Yue fiddled with the severed finger and said.

"Enough, enough, I'll do it, I'll do it." Lai Ba rolled and shouted.

Walking out of the firewood room, Gao Sheng came up and asked Shen Yue suspiciously,

"Shen Dongjia, it's not that we don't have money now, let's be happy to give them some silver taels."

"I don't care about that money, it's just that now there are strong enemies peeping, they are scoundrels in the market, even if they receive our money, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not be bought by those people again, only if they are afraid from the bottom of their bones, can they do things with peace of mind." Shen Yue sighed and said.
