Chapter 17: Lost

The scene in the bazaar made Emperor Wuding understand the suffering of the people, and sometimes some unrestful phenomena are not caused by sexual evil, they are sometimes just ordinary people who are forced to survive. He also deeply understood that the mission of the Great Yin Shang is to let the people of the dawn of the world have a place to live, eat well, and live a prosperous and peaceful life, but this road looks thorny and has a long way to go.

As they continued to wander through the bazaar, they met an old man who sold syrup, who made syrup into various shapes, including animals and plants, such as sheep, cows, linden trees, flowers of various postures, etc., and although the woman had the demeanor of a general, her curiosity about this strange food was not lost. Emperor Wuding saw the liking in her eyes and bought her a few strings. The woman ate this bunch of Bodhi tree syrup, thinking that this was very similar to the Bodhi tree in Yuanlu Temple, and her heart was sweet. Suddenly, a tall man riding a horse broke into the bazaar and pulled the woman on the horse behind him, although the woman was strong in martial arts, but did not dare to compete with her on the horse, for fear that if she accidentally fell off the horse, in case she was trampled by the horse and injured, it would be difficult to say. The horse had not gone far when another man jumped on the horse, put a hemp bag on her, and covered her head. Then he locked her hands behind her back with a thick rope.

Emperor Wuding watched the woman being taken away and was helpless. Who are those two tall and hideous-looking men? Why is it good to take a captive woman? Did you know that the current queen did it on purpose, or did she just happen to meet her with bad intentions? Emperor Wuding was stunned there, and he was stunned at that time, and he didn't know what to do. Xiao Gezi looked at the man fiercely and a little timid, but his mind was also blank and there was nothing he could do. Qiu Yue saw that her master was suddenly taken away, and she was even more anxious like an ant on a hot pot.

Xiao Gezi stared at the horse for a long time, only to see that the horse left white marks on the road, and his blank brain suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and an idea flashed in his heart. "Don't worry, you see, we can follow the white marks that the horse has stepped on." Xiao Gezi whispered to Emperor Wuding, and Emperor Wuding was overjoyed when he heard this, thinking that this idea was good.

"This horse must have stepped on white powder somewhere." Qiu Yue said as she looked at the white mark.

"White powder is not the point, the point is that we have few people, I don't know if we can rescue the good lady with this thin strength." Little Grid said.

"Don't worry too much, the good lady is strong in martial arts, I believe that she can escape from the tiger's clutch with her own strength." Qiu Yue comforted.

"Qiuyue, what's the use of you saying such a rash thing now?" Xiao Gezi suddenly became a little angry, and Qiu Yue also lowered her head.

"Autumn Moon! With my hand, I ask the local officers and soldiers to come to her rescue! Emperor Wuding suddenly said righteously, "Xiaoge, you hand me a piece of oracle bone, and I will write a few words." ”

"No!" Xiao Gezi hurriedly handed Emperor Wuding a piece of oracle bone and bronze knife, Emperor Wuding carved a few words, to the effect that please send troops to rescue the woman and the general, Qiu Yue held this oracle bone and went straight to the official site, and Emperor Wuding and Xiao Gezi followed the white traces to find the past, but unfortunately the white traces disappeared not far from the market, and the footprints, horseshoe prints, and wheel prints outside came and went, and it was impossible to distinguish the traces of the road that the horse that was taken away by the woman was not able to distinguish the traces of the road that the woman had been taken away. When Emperor Wuding saw the white mark disappear, his heart was desolate, and his expression was gloomy. Seeing this, Xiao Gezi immediately comforted him and said: "As Qiu Yue said, a good lady is strong in martial arts, and she will definitely turn the danger into a disaster!" ”

"I knew that something like this would happen, and I must not have brought my good mother out." Emperor Wuding was a little remorseful and a little remorseful.

"Don't worry about you, let's go back to the inn first!" Little Grid looked at the sky and saw that the sky was already dark, and the king had not yet eaten, fearing that he would be hungry and his bones would be ruined.

Emperor Wuding waved his hand and said, "The good lady is gone, what are we going to do when we go back to the inn?" ”

"O king, you are the king of a country, how can you hurt your body because of a woman?" Little Grid whispered.

"Nonsense! Is she a passerby? She is my queen, the Great General. Emperor Wuding thought angrily, sat down on a stone step next to him, and sighed.

Not long after, Qiu Yue rushed to the market with a team of local officers and soldiers, and they searched all the way along the white traces, and also found the place where Emperor Wuding and they stayed. Xiao Gezi had sharp eyes, found Qiu Yue, and shouted loudly: "Qiu Yue! ”

"This is the local commander Liu, and after I handed over the oracle bones to him, he came with me." Qiu Yue said to Emperor Wuding, and when Commander Liu saw that Emperor Wuding was about to make a big salute, Xiao Gezi hurriedly stopped him and whispered to him: "Excuse me, lest others recognize their identity." ”

"Now that the clue is broken, we can't tell who the perpetrators are just based on the appearance of the two men that Miss Qiuyue described to us." Commander Liu looked at them and said helplessly.

"So what do we do next?" Xiao Gezi asked Liu Tongdao.

"It's getting late now, why don't you go back to my house with me first, and we'll think about it in the long run." Commander Liu thought for a moment and said.

"That's all there is to it now." Xiao Gezi said, and then looked at Emperor Wuding, Emperor Wuding thought about either going back to the inn, or going back to Commander Liu's mansion, compared to going back to the inn, Commander Liu still had a discussion and sustenance, so he nodded and said Let's go to Commander Liu.

Commander Liu asked the cook to make some simple dishes and serve them to Emperor Wuding to enjoy, but Emperor Wuding had no appetite and couldn't eat after a few bites. "The king is still worried about the good general?" Commander Liu asked.

"yes, have you heard of a bullie in this place?" Emperor Wuding asked.

"It's not a secret, there are a lot of bullies and robbers here, and there are several of them, if you look for them in turn, I'm afraid it's in vain, after all, they won't tie up the general at the gate." Commander Liu said, "But for the sake of the queen's safety, I still sent a few troops to look for and inquire." What do you say? ”

"Well, I think it's necessary, after all, it's not a good idea to wait like this." Emperor Wuding replied. When Commander Liu heard this, he immediately sent five troops to the top five thieves on the black list to inquire about the situation. In order not to startle the snake, but let them carefully ask if they had taken a woman in the bazaar, and the government was willing to pay a lot of money to ransom her, after all, the woman is a queen, and if she offends the thief and kills her in a fit of rage, it will be more than worth the loss.

A few hours passed, and the troops came back one after another, and they reported the situation to Commander Liu one after another, saying that they had found nothing, and the other party was confused about their inquiry, and just when they were disappointed, the fifth team came back, saying that they had eyebrows.

"What's the situation? Speak quickly and listen to us. Commander Liu was overjoyed when he heard this.

"That's right, we inquired, and the robbers over there said that they thought they had robbed a woman from a good family, but they knew that she was not only very talented, but she cut the rope in the sack with a knife in the pocket of her coat behind her waist. Moreover, he was so strong in martial arts that as soon as he got off his horse, he broke free from the sack, beat them to a bruised nose and swollen face, and rode on his horse and ran away. The subordinate said.

"Really?" Emperor Wuding was overjoyed when he heard this, it turned out that the woman had already escaped from the clutches of the devil, and it was expected that she must be waiting for them at the Qingfeng Inn at this time. So, let Commander Liu go and pick her up.
