Chapter 268: The So-called Waiting for the Rabbit (Second Watch)
At this time, Xu Jing suddenly said: "I heard that in the early hours of this morning, the person sent by the Duke of Qian Guo lost people at a fork in the official road, I don't know where the fork in the road is?" ”
Chen Guogong was stunned, looked at Xu Jing, stabilized his emotions and said: "In the west of Xijing City, just near Xiaobeipo, Xu Niangzi wants to see if there are any clues?" It's useless, I've already sent someone to check it several times, and the official road is very strong and beautiful, and there are basically no rut marks left on it. ”
Xu Jing said: "I don't want to find clues from that road, I have an idea, I want to confirm it, Jiang Zhaoyin, I want to go to that official road to see." ”
Jiang Shaobai glanced at Xu Jing, nodded and said, "There is not much time left before the ransom is paid, you go and go back quickly, and let Yao Shaoyin accompany you." ”
Xu Jing answered, and hurriedly walked out of the Wang house with Yao Shaoyin.
On the way, Yao Shaoyin couldn't help but ask: "What does want to prove?" ”
Xu Jing was silent for a moment and said, "Although the person sent by the Duke of Qian Guo lost the kidnapper last time, one thing is certain, that road must lead to his hiding place.
We sent someone to follow him, and it was unlikely that we would succeed, but what if we knew in advance where he was going? ”
Yao Shaoyin was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said: "That's the best!" In this way, we can send people to investigate in advance, and even if we can't find the two children, we can send people to ambush nearby in advance and wait for the rabbits......
No,, you...... Do you have a way of knowing where he's going?! ”
Yao Shaoyin was dumbfounded.
They're getting the same information, right? Why does he have the feeling that the secretly know a lot of things from him?!
Xu Jing raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "So, don't I want to verify it?" ”
Soon, it was time for the kidnappers to demand a ransom.
It was already completely dark, and there were hardly any people in the vicinity of Qiu Lin Mountain, and near the forest where the kidnappers demanded ransom, Jiang Shaobai and the officials of the government were already in full array.
Beside him, the servant of the Wang family, who was in charge of taking the ransom, counted all the gold bars, lifted it with great difficulty, saluted the Duke of Qian, and walked to the place where it was delivered.
A full hundred and sixty-eight gold bars, even if the four big men were separated, it was also a little difficult.
Although their current place is near the ransom delivery site, it is still a certain distance away, and it takes about a cup of tea to walk past.
But Katsu was a small hill with a wide view of the forest where the ransom had been paid, but under the shade of the dense trees, they could not see much.
Jiang Shaobai glanced at Chen Guogong and said, "The person in charge of tracking, Chen Guogong has already arranged it." ”
In terms of connections, the Xijing Mansion is still far inferior to the Duke of Chen, so Jiang Shaobai still handed over the matter to the Duke of Chen.
Chen Guogong nodded, and said in a deep voice: "I sent two people this time, both of whom are first-class and first-class good players, I have already told them to let them leave signs along the way." ”
Then, they followed the sign and chased after it.
After speaking, Chen Guogong suddenly looked around and said, "Where is the?" Why don't you go to check the road and haven't come back yet? ”
Hearing this, Jiang Shaobai paused slightly and said, "have other tasks. ”
Chen Guogong was stunned, but seeing that Jiang Shaobai obviously didn't want to talk about it in detail, he didn't have much thought about it at the moment, so he didn't ask in detail.
After the royal servants let the ransom money go, they waited for more than two quarters of an hour before they saw through the light moonlight through the dense shade of the trees the place where the ransom had been paid, and a carriage slowly drove in.
The carriage was not large, it looked like a very simple and light carriage, and there was a man sitting at the side, but because it was too far away, they could not see the man's appearance at all.
After the man got out of the carriage, he quickly got into the carriage again, drove the carriage away, and after waiting for a while, Jiang Shaobai waved his hand silently, quickly got on the horse and rushed out with a small group of people.
The signs that Gong Guo asked people to leave were green ribbons tied to the trees, and they followed those signs all the way to a forked official road, and Gong Guo immediately gritted his teeth and said: "That thief has actually walked the same road as the last one!" ”
This is the first time his men left the kidnappers behind!
Although he was not sure if the kidnappers would go from here again, Chen Guogong still sent people to ambush nearby in advance, and I don't know if it was because of this, this time their people did not lose them again, and they successfully saw the ribbon tied by their people from a tree on the side of the road on the left.
The group immediately pulled the reins of their horses and quickly walked onto the left road.
There were many left and right turns along the way, and there were many forks in the road, and to be honest, they were not surprised at all that the kidnappers were able to throw off the people who were following him.
When they reached the fourth fork, they saw two familiar figures standing restlessly on the side of the road.
Chen Guogong immediately turned over and dismounted, took a deep breath and said, "You guys have lost people again?!" ”
But it was the two people sent by the Duke of Chen to follow the kidnappers!
The two men immediately knelt down on one knee and said with shame: "The villain is not capable enough, please punish the grandfather of the country!" ”
However, everyone also knows that they can't be blamed.
Under such harsh conditions, it is not easy for them to follow here.
It's just that they lost people here, which means that they have lost a precious opportunity again!
Whether there will be such an opportunity in the future, no one knows!
Even Chen Guogong couldn't help but kick one of the men away in annoyance, and roared angrily: "Get out!" ”
Xu Guangyi suddenly fell to the horse next to him, his face full of despair.
His light, his only son, is it true that he can't come back?!
That Yang Quanfuming hated their Xu family, he would never let Guang'er go!
Just when everyone was angry and desperate, on the side, Jiang Shaobai's slightly tense voice suddenly sounded, "Go to the right." ”
Chen Guogong immediately looked at Jiang Shaobai, his eyes widened suddenly, "How do you know?!" ”
saw Jiang Shaobai standing on the road on the right, bent down, picked up a palm-sized small scarecrow from the bushes next to him, looked at Qian Guogong and said, "This is the code that Xu Niangzi left for us." ”
Chen Guogong was stunned, and hurriedly strode over, snatched the scarecrow, gritted his teeth and said, "What's going on!" Could it be that the also sent someone to follow the kidnapper?! ”
However, he thought that the two people he had found to follow the kidnappers were the best kung fu people Xijing could find so far.
How could such a little lady find someone more powerful than them in such a short period of time?!
Jiang Shaobai took a light breath, to be honest, he was also surprised when he saw this scarecrow.
When Xu Jing sent someone to tell him about her plan during the day, he actually didn't believe it very much.
But now it seems that what she said is true!
"Actually, this afternoon, Xu Niangzi sent someone to tell me that she had found the destination where the kidnappers might go, so she asked me for someone to ambush along the road.
And she herself should have gone to that place by now.
Because...... I was also a little unbelievable by' words, so I didn't tell you. ”
Everyone around them was shocked.
How did the woman know in advance where the kidnappers were going?!
It's just that they don't have the heart to study it now, and Gong Guo immediately turned over and waved his hand: "No matter what, the top priority is to rescue Jun'er first!" Everyone is keeping up! ”
After saying that, he rushed out first.
