"The young lady said that she was going to buy some fish soup for the adults to go to the beach today." The maid knelt in front of the city lord and cried and said, "Usually, the young lady went to the beach to buy it herself, but today when I was on the way to the beach, a few thieves suddenly jumped out and took the young lady away. ”

"Abducted?" The city lord's eyes widened, and he glared at the maid and asked, "Do you know where the captives have gone?" ”

The maid did not dare to speak again, but shook her head vigorously.

"Find it for me!" The city lord was so angry that he stomped his feet, pointed at those officials and shouted, "Go find them for me!" If you can't find Rumiko, don't come back! ”

Tang Ping heard from the eldest brother king of Shanbei what he had just seen, and now he was not sure that this city lord was the person they were looking for, but eight or nine were not far from ten.

Although I don't know why one of his chamberlains became the lord of the city, I don't know why he had a daughter.

But now is not a good time to ask him, looking at his appearance, he is really nervous about his daughter, and now only by helping him find his daughter first, can we talk about the rest of the matter.

"Lord of the Castle." Tang Ping stepped forward, but was glared at by the city lord.

He is now blaming himself for not coming to Tang Ping to take a bath, so that his daughter was taken away, which is to anger Tang Ping.

Tang Ping didn't think it was wrong, and said: "One more person has more strength, and there are people under me who are quite good at tracking traces, so let's help too." ”

The city lord thought about it, if he could, he would like to mobilize the whole city to help find someone, and now that Tang Ping has stood up by himself, he has agreed: "If you can find Rumiko, I will be grateful." ”

After saying that, he hurriedly got on the horse and planned to leave, but Tang Ping and the others also followed directly.

First, I came to the place where Rumiko was taken away by the maid, and it was a fork in the road to the sea.

Tang Ping and they also know that one of the roads down is where many fishermen trade their catches, where they can buy the freshest catch, and a few days ago, the eldest brother Wang of the mountain back also went to buy sea shrimp.

This was originally a busy road, the footprints on the ground were messy, and I couldn't see anything, and the maid sobbed and only said that she and the guard had been knocked down, the young lady had been taken away, and the guard had been knocked unconscious on the side of the road, so she could only run back to report the news.

I don't get any useful information from this maid.

But at least it's much easier to find someone now than it is to find that chamberlain in the entire prefecture of Aichi.

Tang Ping touched Xiaopang's head, and then said to the maid, "Are there any things that your young lady usually carries?" ”

The maid didn't know what Tang Ping meant, and looked at the city lord, who just had a gloomy face, pointed to an upside-down sliding pole on the side of the road and said, "That's what Rumiko usually goes out to ride." ”

A sliding pole is two bamboo poles carrying a chair, which is a simplified version of a sedan chair.

Tang Ping said to Xiaopang: "Go and smell it and see if you can find its owner." ”

You must know that the eyesight index of giant pandas is only about 0.32, and according to human standards, they are all 800 degrees of myopia.

Their sense of smell is more sensitive than that of hunting dogs, so in the wild they rely on their sense of smell and hearing to find food and judge risks.

At this time, Chubby was still very obedient, obediently ran to the edge of the slide rod and sniffed, then jumped around and sniffed around to identify, and finally whined in one direction.

"This way!" Tang Ping pointed to a forest on the side of the road, those people had taken Rumiko hostage, and it was likely that they chose a place without a road in order to avoid the public's attention.

"Quick! Come on! At this time, the lord of Aichi Castle could only choose to believe Tang Ping, and the people who called him followed behind Tang Ping and Xiao Pang.

After walking a short distance, the maid screamed, "The dress that Miss is wearing today is such a fabric." ”

A small strip of green cloth hung from a bush by the side of the road, and the maid confirmed that they had not taken the wrong route.

Everyone followed Chubby and continued to track, and after passing through the woods, they found that there was actually a cave, and the other end of the cave was connected to the sea.

After searching the neighborhood, I found two more small strips of cloth, but there was still no trace of Rumiko.

Tang Ping and Xiaopang have a heart-to-heart connection, knowing that it has lost the traces of Rumiko here, and then judging according to the environment here: "It seems that it has gone to the sea." ”

In a short time, they chased here, but they couldn't find anyone, and they were left to go down to the sea by boat.

"Damn, send me a boat, go out to sea to find it, find it for me!" The city lord yelled angrily at his men.

"Lord of the Castle." Tang Ping thought for a while and stepped forward and said, "These thieves stunned the guards, kidnapped the young lady, and let the maid go. ”

"What do you want to say? Hurry up! He was still very grateful that Tang Ping could find this place with him, but he was in a hurry, and his tone was a little worse.

"It means that those thieves must have some scheme, or to extort money or other purposes, but for the time being, Miss Rumiko should be safe for the time being."

The city lord thought about it, there was really such a possibility, his daughter knew that she was definitely not a big beauty, and she was just as ordinary-looking as her maid, and the possibility of robbery was really unlikely.

Then those thieves should be seeking money.

"But...... So why don't we just wait now? "If those thieves ask for money, they will have to negotiate.

But this feeling of powerlessness still annoyed him.

The search was fruitless, so they could only go back to the city, and Tang Ping and a few of them were also invited to the City Lord's Mansion, after all, the City Lord still saw the role of Xiaopang today.

"Was this done by pirates today? Otherwise, why did they run back to the seamount? "The eldest brother of the mountain back asked Tang Ping.

Tang Ping shook his head and said: "On this East China Sea, the pirates have long been basically cleared by the Tang Dynasty's East China Sea Fleet, but those people who came from the sea may not be pirates. ”

"But isn't the timing too coincidental? As soon as we found out that the lord of the city might be the person we were looking for, his daughter was taken captive. ”

The eldest brother of the mountain back said with some resentment.

As soon as a few people had spoken a few words, someone came to report that someone had sent a letter to the City Lord's Mansion.

Tang Ping and the others hurried to the hall again, and found that there was a half-old child below, who was pressed by several officials with a blank face.

"My lord, someone gave me two copper coins to ask me to deliver a letter, and I really don't belong to them."

The city lord waved his hand and told his subordinates to let the child go, thinking that since the other party had a careful plan, he would not be so stupid to send it to the door.

Frowning, he read the letter he had received, and then sat silent.

Tang Ping thought for a while and stepped forward and said, "City Lord, can you show me?" ”
