There was nowhere to vent the grievances in his heart, Ba Rong raised his leg and kicked Qiu He's stomach fiercely, and he scolded angrily: "Phew! Cheap woman, blame you for embarrassing Lao Tzu! ”

Ba Rong slammed the door after he was angry, Qiu He "whimpered", her stomach was kicked and hurt, her little face turned white instantly, and a fine sweat broke out on her forehead, Qiu He curled up and looked very painful.

A moment later, Qiu He's body slowly slid to the ground, her eyes closed, as if she had lost her breath.

……

Protector Villa

Huangfu Hongyi and Shangguan Yutang returned to Huguo Villa and found that there were many people standing in the Huguo Hall, even Tie Sheng and Yang Weilong, and the two of them frowned, as if they had encountered something urgent.

"Director Yang, Tie Sheng, why are you here?" Shangguan Yutang asked.

"Qiu He and Taohong have been taken captive, and Director Yang and I have come to ask you for help." Tie Sheng had a sad face, and he was worried about his sister, and he even spoke with a crying tone.

Dugu Shaobai sat on the high hall and painted, he drew a portrait of the man in black who captured the peach according to Tie Sheng's description, but Tie Sheng only saw half of the man's face, the person who took the peach red was a one-eyed man, and the other eye was covered with an eyepatch, just with this portrait, I am afraid it is difficult to distinguish the true face of the man in black.

Shangguan Yutang stepped forward to take a look and found that this person was very familiar, "Is it him?" ”

Dugu Shaobai asked, "Do you know him?" ”

Shangguan Yutang: "Last night, the county lord of Yining and I were almost caught by this man, there were four of them at that time, and the man led by him had inverted eight-shaped eyebrows, this man seemed to be his little brother, a one-eyed dragon. ”

Shangguan Yutang's words undoubtedly provided a clue, and Dugu Shaobai asked: "Yutang, then do you remember what their leader looks like?" ”

Shangguan Yutang nodded and said, "I can draw it roughly, but they all brought face towels, and I only saw half of the face." ”

Dugu Shaobai handed the pen and paper to Shangguan Yutang, and after a while, Shangguan Yutang drew a portrait, the man in the painting had a pair of inverted eyebrows, and his eyes were fierce, at first glance he looked like a vicious bandit.

When Lu Lingxue saw the portrait, she was shocked, even if she only showed her eyes, she felt that this person was familiar.

"Gao Zhuo?"

Dugu Shaobai was surprised and asked, "Do you know him too?" ”

Lu Lingxue explained: "He opened a gambling house in Baihua City, he has a bad temper, often quarrels with gamblers, because he often does things with people, so he has been arrested several times by our Vermilion Bird Pavilion, he looks fierce, this face has long been remembered by me." ”

Lu Lingxue's words made a breakthrough in this case, they knew the whereabouts of the bandits, and they didn't need to search like headless flies.

Dugu Shaobai said: "Gao Zhuo is very likely to go to his own gambling house, and I will leave for Baihua City tonight." ”

Tie Sheng and Yang Weilong, who were standing on the side, said in unison that they would also follow, Yang Weilong was annoyed and blamed himself, blaming him for not letting Qiu He go to buy breakfast before dawn, if Qiu He stayed at home with peace of mind, how could he be robbed by the bad guys.

"Qiu He and Tao Hong are both girls, I'm afraid they are also fierce and unlucky at the moment, if Qiu He has three long and two short, what should I do?!"

Yang Weilong, a man with three big and five thick faces, couldn't help but redden, in his heart, he had long regarded Qiuhe as his own wife, he was extremely tormented in his heart, and he only asked God to bless Qiuhe safely!

Hearing the words "more than auspicious", Tie Sheng was even more anxious, "My grandfather and I have lost Qiaoxia, and we can't lose our peach anymore!" ”

Tie Sheng cried again as he spoke, he wiped his tears with his sleeve, he hadn't told his grandfather about Peach's abduction, for fear that his grandfather wouldn't be able to stand the blow, and now he only hoped to find Peachy and Qiuhe sooner.

Dugu Shaobai patted him lightly on the shoulder and comforted: "Don't worry, Tie Sheng, we will get Qiuhe and Taohong back." ”

Lu Lingxue's heart was inexplicably flustered, as soon as she heard the words "autumn lotus", a touch of a shadow appeared in her mind, the sister who used to dig sweet potatoes for herself in the ice and snow, the sister who was like her own mother......

Could the "Autumn Lotus" they call her?

Lu Lingxue pursed her lips, her voice trembling unconsciously, "Young Master Yang, you ...... What you are talking about is the autumn lotus...... Is it called Lu Qiuhe? ”

Yang Weilong's face was heavy, he shook his head, and said, "Qiu He should be surnamed Qiu, she didn't say that her surname is Lu." ”

Lu Lingxue still didn't give up, and continued to ask: "What about ...... Where is she from? ”

Yang Weilong shook his head again, he didn't understand why Lu Lingxue wanted to ask him about Qiuhe, could they know each other?

"Qiu He and I met in Beiyang City, she is mute and doesn't know how to write, so she didn't mention to me where she came from."

"Dumb?" Lu Lingxue frowned, her sister could speak, not dumb.

Yang Weilong said again: "Qiu He was not a dumb person, she was persecuted by the people of Qinglou back then, so she had to drink poison and her throat was poisoned. ”

Qinglou?! Lu Lingxue's heart seemed to be slammed, the "Qiu He" that Yang Weilong knew was not born dumb, but was victimized by a traitor, so the "Qiu He" he knew might be his sister who had been separated from him for many years.

Thinking of this, Lu Lingxue's mood was excited and angry, and even her heartbeat accelerated a little, excited that her sister, who had been looking for many years, finally had a clue. What is angry is that if the Qiu He that Yang Weilong knows is her sister, then how could her sister fall into the Qinglou back then? They have no relatives in Beiyang City, how could Qiu He and Yang Weilong meet in Beiyang City?

Lu Lingxue was so anxious that she couldn't wait to find Qiu He, she said anxiously: "No, I can't sit still, Yang Gongzi, let's go find it together!" ”

At this time, Shen Jingkai came over, he presented the book he was holding in his hand to Dugu Shaobai, and said with a fist: "Water Protector, the city lord of Lingchuan and the city lord of Jinnan have come to report, in the past three days, a total of five girls have disappeared in these two cities, and some witnesses say that there is a one-eyed man in the person who kidnapped the girls." ”

Dugu Shaobai took the book handed by Shen Jingkai, which contained the portrait of the missing girl and a portrait of a one-eyed man, the one-eyed man in the painting was nine points similar to the portrait painted by Dugu Shaobai, and it should be the same person.

Looking at these girls again, they are all seventeen to twenty-three years old, and they look beautiful and good, Dugu Shaobai can't help but think of the girl's disappearance six years ago.

He frowned and said: "With the addition of Peach and Qiuhe, there should be seven missing girls at present, nine years ago, in the Heavenly Empire, in a month's time, more than ten young girls disappeared one after another. After two years, the spies of Huguo Villa discovered their traces in Donglai Kingdom, and they were all sold to Donglai Kingdom to be concubines of official eunuchs. ”

Dugu Shaobai looked down at the portraits in his hand, and said to Shen Jingkai: "If I guessed correctly, Qiu He, Taohong, and the five girls in this portrait may be taken to neighboring countries to be sold. ”

"Subordinates take orders!" Shen Jingkai arched his hand, then turned around and left the Protector Hall.

Huangfu Hongyi said: "It takes five hours to travel from Taoyuan Town to Baihua City, and I think they should still be near the Imperial Capital City." ”

Dugu Shaobai nodded and said, "The top priority is to find Gao Zhuo, otherwise we will search indiscriminately, not only like looking for a needle in a haystack, but also startling the snake." ”

Shangguan Yutang said: "Big brother, I punched Gao Zhuo last night, I think he has a grudge against me, if he meets me, he must want to arrest me and teach them a lesson, it is better for me to change into women's clothes and lure them out." ”

Without waiting for Dugu Shaobai to reply, Huangfu Hongyi continued: "I will protect you secretly. ”

"Hmm!" Shangguan Yutang nodded.

Li Shenlong touched his chin, frowned, and said, "However, what if Gao Zhuo is not in his gambling house?" We can't wait for the rabbit, can we? ”

If a group of them went to Gao Zhuo's gambling house for a few days and didn't wait for Gao Zhuo to come, wouldn't it be in vain.

What Li Shenlong said was extremely true, Shangguan Yutang thought for a while, and said, "I still have an idea......

……

early morning

Drunken Bayon walked on the mountain path, the mountain was deserted, the road was overgrown with weeds, and the weeds on the side of the road covered the mountain road tightly, if you were not familiar with the road, others would not be able to find that the place in front of you was covered by weeds was a road.

There are no fields or dwellings in the mountains, only a thatched hut standing halfway up the hill in front of you.

Ba Rong was so drunk that he even walked crookedly, he walked while humming a little tune, and from time to time he raised the wine bottle and put it in his mouth, but the bottle was already empty of a drop of wine, Ba Rong was a little irritable, and scolded "Fuck it!" ”。

The thatched hut was surrounded by towering trees, and the air of shade was all around, and Bayon raised his leg and kicked the door hard, "Bang! With a bang, the door was violently kicked open.

"Woo woo woo ......" The girls in the room were like frightened birds, all of them wrinkled their little faces and kept shrinking into the corners. Only Qiu He, who fell to the ground, was motionless, like a dead corpse.

"Hiccup-" Ba Rong burped, his mouth emitted a foul smell of wine, he kicked Qiu He who fell to the ground, but there was no movement, so he kicked Qiu He on the ground again, still no response.

"Damn! He's dead? It's unlucky! Ba Rong spat to the side, bent down and lifted her with a big hand, grabbed Qiuhe's belt and lifted her up.

Ba Rong walked to the door with Qiuhe in tow, threw Qiuhe into the weeds on the side like garbage, and scolded in his mouth: "This stinky girl is so unkicked, she was kicked by Lao Tzu and died?" Bah! Bad luck! ”

"Woo woo woo ......" Peach Hong who was tied up in the house cried, Sister Qiuhe, who had known her for many years, was kicked to death by the vicious robbers, and she couldn't accept this heart-wrenching fact.

Ba Rong was drunk, he was inexplicably angry when he heard the cry in the room, he walked into the house violently, "snapped", raised his hand and smashed the wine bottle in his hand to the ground, and the fragments of the wine bottle splashed at the feet of the girls, so frightened that the girls didn't even dare to breathe.

Ba Rong angrily pointed at the peachy nose and scolded: "Cry, cry, cry, if you cry again, Lao Tzu will kick you to death!" ”
