12. Disappearance

Chu Xingli, who was sitting in the carriage, was thinking about how to tell Xiao Jingchen about Li Yansan.

It was Xiao Jingsa who drove on. Xiao Jingsa sat on horseback, holding the reins, and behind him there were soldiers in armor, as if they were patrolling. Xiao Jingsa saw that this was the carriage of the Chu family, so he clenched the reins in his hand, and the horse stopped.

The horse stopped in front of Chu Xingli's carriage, Chu Xingli's carriage also stopped, and the soldiers behind Xiao Jingsa also stopped their progress.

When Chu Xingli saw that the carriage had stopped, he lifted the curtain of the carriage, poked his head out, and saw that it was Xiao Jingsa, so he said politely: "Lord Wang, is there something wrong with you stopping my carriage?" ”

"It's fine." Xiao Jingsa listened to her tone, as if there was some misunderstanding, so she immediately said: "I just want to tell you that the city has not been peaceful recently, and people often go missing, so it is a young girl like you." ”

Chu Xingli smiled slightly when she heard this, and said, "Thank you for your concern, I'll go back immediately." Xiao Jingsa saw her smiling at herself, not to mention how happy she was.

"Do you need this king to send a few people to escort the young lady back to the house?" Xiao Jingsa said with special concern.

Chu Xingli still kept a smile and said, "No need. ”

As soon as the words fell, Chu Xingli lowered the curtain of the car and said, "Let's go." The coachman received the order and drove away. Only Xiao Jingsa was left there stupidly, looking at the back of the carriage in the distance.

And Chu Xingli, who was sitting in the carriage, was still thinking about how to tell Xiao Jingchen about this. But from the conversation with Xiao Jingsa just now, Chu Xingli deeply wanted to help Xiao Jingsa and help those who were missing, so that they could all return to their families.

The more Chu Xingli thought about it, the more bored he became,

The more Chu Xingli thought about it, the more bored he became, and the coachman said, "Stop." ”

Lixia, who was wondering, looked at Chu Xingli and said, "Miss, we're here soon, are you going to do something?" ”

"Lixia, I want to go, you go home first." Chu Xingli looked a little unhappy and said.

"Wherever Miss goes, Lixia will go." Lixia was a little worried.

"It's going to happen, don't worry. I just want to be alone. You go back first, I'll go back sooner. Chu Xingli said.

"Alright then, Miss, you must go home early. It's too late, and the lord and lady will be worried. Lixia still reminded him.

"Well, good. I see, I'll go back before dark. You can rest assured. Chu Xingli said.

When Lixia heard Chu Xingli make a decision, he didn't say anything. Then Chu Xingli got out of the car.

Chu Xingli had just gotten out of the car and had not gone far, Lixia opened the curtains and said, "Miss." ”

"Don't worry, go back quickly!" Chu Xingli said with a smile.

The carriage left, and Chu Xingli also turned around and left.

Chu Xingli wandered around the street alone, she didn't know where she should go, this place made her very confused, very familiar but indifferent.

She came here solely to resurrect herself, and secondly, to change that person's fate.

But now, Chu Xingli doesn't know who she should marry. Among these two people, they are both good and talented.

One is as warm as jade, and the other is battle-hardened, domineering and leaky.

"Ahhh......h When will I go back? Then Chu Xingli saw the blue jade on his waist again, and said to it: "The one in white clothes, saying that you are useful, what is the use of you!" ”

Chu Xingli hit the blue jade a few times angrily.

On this street, Chu Xingli was walking leisurely like this, but there were two tall and big men following Chu Xingli behind him.

When they took advantage of Chu Xingli's inattention, they rushed up and covered Chu Xingli from head to toe with a large black cloth bag. Chu Xingli was still struggling at a loss, and was about to shout "help", but was knocked unconscious.

Time has passed, but I don't know how long it has been, the sun has set, and night has fallen......

Prime Minister's Office

"Lixia, tell me honestly, where did Miss go?" Chu Ji sat on the chair very angrily and loudly reprimanded Lixia who was kneeling on the ground.

This was the first time Lixia had seen Chu Ji speak so angrily. Lixia was so frightened by Chu Ji that she trembled, she swallowed her saliva, and said, "Old, master, Lixia, Lixia doesn't know where Miss has gone." ”

"What? You say you don't know where the young lady has gone? You are Miss's personal maid, and you follow Miss all day long. You say, you don't know? I'm so angry, you ......" Chu Ji stood up directly, and he didn't know what to say when he was angry.

Seeing that Chu Ji was furious, and Lixia was frightened, she stepped forward to help Chu Ji and said, "Master, don't worry too much. You see what Lixia is scared of you, you should ask Lixia well. ”

Chu Ji was not an unreasonable person, he saw that Lixia's whole person was trembling, and there were tears of sadness and remorse on his face.

"Lixia, let me ask you again, where did you and Miss go today?" Chu Ji's tone softened slightly.

Lixia wiped away the tears on his face, raised his head, and said, "Today, Miss went to Chenwang's Mansion. ”

"Chenwang's Mansion?" Chu Ji listened, a little incredible. Then he asked again, "What is Miss doing in Chenwang's Mansion?" ”

"Miss, Miss, I went to Chenwang's Mansion to ......," Lixia said with a sob.

"Master, now is not the time to care about what Li'er is doing in Chenwang's Mansion. Now it's time to send someone to find Li'er. Madame interrupted Lixia's words and said urgently.

"Jer, you take someone to find it now, remember, don't make a noise." Chu Ji began to call Chu Mingjie on the side. Chu Mingjie received his father's decree and went down.

"Lixia, you go to the Chenwang Mansion now to see if the young lady is in the palace. If she is, she will bring her back. Chu Ji ordered Lixia again.

"Madam, you just wait at home, and if Li'er comes back, you will send someone to inform you. I was still a little worried, so I went with Jer. Chu Ji turned around again and said softly to his wife.

And Chu Xingli was in a dilapidated temple ten miles outside the city at this time.

From the door, there was a large courtyard with a stone wall, and outside the wall, there were two large stone lions.

A little further inside, is the courtyard. There is a large temple in the middle of the courtyard. The entrance to the temple is covered with dry straw. Although the place is large, there are large and small things piled up on both sides.

Further inside, there is the temple. In the middle of the temple is a large Buddha, its hands are combined, placed on its chest, its eyes are slightly closed, and its mouth is slightly open, as if it is reciting Buddhist scriptures.

In front of the Buddha statue, there is a large table with two long red candles, both of which are half-burned. In front of the candle, there is also a plate of fruit, but there is no fruit on the plate. Both the Buddha statue and the table are covered with dust and cobwebs.

There was a mess outside the temple, let alone inside the temple. There is still a lot of dry straw in the temple. On the door beams and on the roof, there are large cobwebs. It can be seen that this temple must have been abandoned for a long time, and few people came.

And Chu Xingli was tied to a pillar. Chu Xingli sat with the chair leaning against the pillar, her hands tied behind the pillar, and her feet tied.

Chu Xingli was also surrounded by many women of the same age who were tied together. Some of them were tied to the pillar alone like Chu Xingli, and some were tied together by about six or seven.

None of these women were crying, and Chu Xingli woke up in this terrible silence. She saw that her hands and feet were tied, and that there were many women around her.

All of these women bowed their heads, and although they did not cry, their faces revealed unspeakable sadness and pain.

When Chu Xingli first woke up, he saw these scenes and the recent disappearance of people, so he knew that he had been arrested by human traffickers.

But she wanted to get out of here, she didn't want to die here, so she was struggling to the death, she used her hands and feet.

On the opposite side of Chu Xingli, there was a woman who was tied up like her. The woman bowed her head, as if to advise her, and said, "Don't waste your efforts, even if you break free from this rope, you will not be able to escape." ”

When Chu Xingli heard this, she wanted to ask her why, but the woman didn't give Chu Xingli a chance to speak at all, and said directly: "We've all tried." ”

At this time, Lixia had also entered the Chenwang Mansion, and in the study of the Chenwang Mansion, Xiao Jingchen was thinking about what was in the cell today.
