Chapter 176: Mora Winery
When Bai Su heard this, he immediately greeted a subordinate beside him, "Go and ask the innkeeper and inquire where the Mora Winery is." ”
"Yes."
A moment later, the subordinate brought a topographical map from the shopkeeper and handed it to Bai Su.
"The winery is about twenty miles from the inn, and it had a glorious early years. So the roads around there are pretty easy to walk. The shopkeeper returned, the winery was once built by the late royal family, and with the destruction of the country by Shanshan two years ago, the winery was also abandoned. Nowadays, business travelers are rarely set foot there because of the bad luck there. ”
Cheng Siyi didn't think much about it, "Two years ago, I heard my father mention it. However, being able to choose a winery that has been abandoned for two years is in line with the usual style of robbers. Now that we have a place, let's get ready to go! The robber had chosen to trade at the right time, and now there was only an hour and a half left. ”
Bai Su carefully studied the topographic map, and then handed it to Cheng Siyi.
"Before setting off, everyone took a closer look at the topographic map. In case of a fight, don't be scattered. The robber would have been prepared for the trade. It's our group of people, who are new to the city, so we need to take more precautions. ”
Cheng Siyi nodded, and after reading it, he passed it to Gan Lin and others.
Gan Lin and the others also knew the importance of tonight's operation, and they looked at the topographic map very seriously.
When they hurried to the vicinity of the winery, they couldn't help but be dumbfounded. Everywhere the torches lit, there were wild grass more than a man tall. Perhaps their arrival startled the birds in the grass, and as they stopped, a large number of birds flew out of the grass in front of them. Occasionally, it was accompanied by a few eerie crow swords
Such a scene, if it were an ordinary caravan, I am afraid that at this moment, I would be so frightened that my hairs will stand on end. But they are naturally different.
Gan Lin glanced at the captain under Bai Su, and said sideways: "How about comparing whose sword is sharper?" ”
The captain is ordinary, and he may not even be able to pay attention to a yamen headhunter. However, looking at the provocation in Gan Lin's eyes now, he did not despise it for the first time.
As the long sword continued to swing, the barren grassland that was originally out of sight gradually carved out a path. Along this makeshift road, everyone soon saw the legend of the Mora winery, which had been abandoned for two years.
Illuminated by torches, the silhouette of the winery is large, and it seems to stretch faintly all the way down the nearby hill. Bai Su and the others crossed over the dilapidated low wall and inspected for a long time, but they didn't see half a figure.
"Seeing that the time has come, the robber didn't deceive us, right?"
Several subordinates behind him muttered a few words, and the faces of Cheng Siyi and Bai Su became more and more cold.
"10,000 taels of silver tickets is not a number, and it is no good to deceive us. You soldiers are divided into two routes, carefully patrol, and don't let go of any corner! If you find anything, notify me and the second son immediately. ”
Bai Su instructed his subordinates to look around, and Gan Lin and the others also volunteered to go the other way.
Halfway through the hour, everyone returned to their original place, still with nothing to be found.
Cheng Siyi couldn't help but start to waver.
"Is someone really lying to us?"
Bai Su frowned and didn't say anything. Thinking of the two strange people he had met during the day, his heart became more and more irritable.
Suddenly, it occurred to him that there was still a place he hadn't found.
"Look for the entrance to the cellar! Since it is a winery, the most crucial place must be the wine cellar! ”
Since he knew a lot about winemaking, he took the lead in finding the cellar, and soon, after careful groping in the dark night, he finally found a stone door.
Bai Su groped carefully along the vicinity of the stone gate, and everyone only heard a click, and the sound of the heavy stone door rumbling open resounded all around.
Ignoring the dust raised by the opening of the stone door, Bai Su and the others quickly rushed in. Through the faint light of the torch, I finally saw the layout inside.
"It's really a wine cellar. Let's see if there's anyone! ”
Cheng Siyi gave an order, and Gan Lin and the others immediately scattered to find a possible place to be spared.
"Look, there's a man hanging from there!"
As the subordinate shouted, all the nerves burst and he came to the place where the man was.
Bai Su followed the direction of the man's finger and saw that there was indeed a person hanging half a foot from the top of the cellar. The torch has limited light, and it is difficult to see the face, and it can only be roughly recognized as a woman by its shape.
Looking at the unresponsive body, all Rao's eyes became gloomy.
Because whether this person is Cheng Xiangjin or Ganyu, it is not what they want to see.
Especially Gan Lin, his legs trembled at the moment, and he completely lost his usual calmness when handling cases.
"General, my subordinates have just checked, the big pit in front is two or three zhang deep, if you can't catch it in time when you save Rao, it is very likely to fall into the pit below Zheng Zaiyou, that hanging place is too far away from our side, and it is too high, with the subordinates and other Rao's light skills, I am afraid it will be difficult to complete the rescue task!"
Bai Su looked at the above, his eyes darkened, and he waved his hand.
"No need to make a move, the person above is not one of ours."
Cheng Siyi, who was in an anxious position, suddenly turned his head when he heard this, "Are you really?" Do you see that face? ”
Bai Su shook his head, "It's too far away to see clearly." ”
"Then how do you know it's not Jin'er?"
"Guess."
"What? When is this all right, you're still kidding! ”
Bai Su was just about to speak, when he suddenly felt someone approaching them, and turned around suddenly.
"Since Your Excellency invited me to come, why don't you show up now?"
Not long after his words fell, Gan Lin and the others, who were holding swords, only to feel that their eyes were dark, and a figure instantly floated to Bai Su. With a chuckle, an extremely ugly woman's voice came into everyone's ears
"There are dozens of people here, and there is finally a smart one!"
Bai Su looked at the dark shadow in front of him, and became more and more sure that she was the person he met at the inn in the evening. It's just that I didn't expect this Rao's kung fu to be so high, even Gan Lin and the others didn't notice her existence.
"I'm here, and I've brought the silver ticket, when are you going to release him?"
The woman waved her hand, "What's the hurry?" Isn't it anymore, one hand to pay the money, the other hand to the person? I have to see if those silver tickets are real before I can release them! ”
Bai Su beckoned, and a subordinate behind him immediately handed over the prepared silver ticket. Bai Su took the silver ticket and shook it at the woman, "I want to see my people!" ”
As the woman beckoned, several figures quickly stepped out of a dark corner. The figures held two women in their hands. Bai Soda took a look, and sure enough, it was Cheng Xiangjin and Ganyu.
"Don't worry, they just took my special drug, and they don't have to worry about their lives!"
