It wasn't until noon on the second day that Qi Gongwang dragged his somewhat tired body back to the Red Maple Building.

"Elder Qi, what is the latest situation in the mineral deposits of the Red Maple Mountain Range?" Wang Ruoli sat on the top of the Ning Red Hall and asked slightly. Accompanying the guards Pei Qiong and Xu Zhenggao were on the left and right.

"Young Master Hui, after the bloody suppression of the military, the Danqing Caolu in the Red Maple Mountain Range is now under the control of the military. General Zuo Zhang Quji was ordered to go all the way along the mountain stream to martial law, and killed a lot of people, probably searching for the red iron and green spirits. In addition, Ye Wushuang, the former captain of Luoshui Town, was exceptionally promoted to a subordinate general and stationed in Danqing Caolu!"

"Oh?" Wang Ruo was worried that the small batch of red iron and green essence that he had dug up in advance seemed to be a hot potato......!

At this time, Wang Shuo, the captain of the guard, came in and reported: "Young master, someone at the entrance of the courtyard asked to see him, claiming to be Ye Qiushui's second uncle. ”

Wang Shuo, who is nearly forty years old, is also a member of the Wang family, and is a member of the side branch of the Wang family in Jingyang City.

"Second uncle?" Wang Ruoli thought lightly from his mouth, thinking of the old things, suddenly, the long-standing doubt in his heart suddenly opened up, the corners of his mouth raised, and he ordered, "Please let him in!"

"Yes!" Wang Shuo retreated as he said and went to the entrance of the courtyard.

After a while, I saw a middle-aged man with a thin face anxiously walking through the door, and as soon as he entered the door, he said in a panic: "If you leave the young master, please save your life!"

"Your Excellency is ......," Wang Ruoli asked with a serious face.

"In Xia Ye Wuming, it's Ye Qiushui's second uncle!" Ye Wuming continued in a panic, "If you leave the young master, please remember your childhood love and help save my family Qiushui's life!"

"Second uncle, don't panic, say slowly!What the hell is going on?" Wang Ruoli frowned slightly when he heard this, "What's wrong with Qiushui?"

"Today, Qiushui took the maid and a few servants to the market, but unexpectedly, a few masked gangsters suddenly came out halfway, knocked down the servants in an instant, and looted her. Ye Wuming said, his words were a little choked, "The eldest brother is on guard, and he has not been able to contact him, and I heard that if the young master returned to Hongfeng Xiaozhu recently, he came over and begged for help!"

"Good and decent, why did someone suddenly dare to kidnap Sister Qiushui?" asked Wang Ruoli unhurriedly.

"I don't know about this, I may have heard that the eldest brother was promoted to a general and stationed in Danqing Caolu, so I started this thought! I want to use this as a threat!" Ye Wuming said with some distress, "The situation is critical, I am afraid that if it is too late, the other party will hurt Qiushui." ”

"Yes, if it is late, it will change!" Wang Ruoli's eyes flashed, and his words were nervous, "Is there a place to find out where the robbers have retreated?"

"Yes, the robbers fled all the way to the col on the back of the Danqing Caolu in the Red Maple Mountain Range, and said that they would let the person who could take charge go alone in person, and they were not allowed to bring escorts, otherwise they would kill Qiushui. Ye Wuming recalled.

"Since that's the case, then let's do it, Young Master Ben will go to the Red Maple Mountain Range with you, and Elder Qi will secretly follow Ceying. Pei Qiong, Zhenggao, you two are left behind with other guards. In addition, Wang Shuo, you quickly go to Danqing Caolu to inform General Ye Wushuang!" Wang Ruoli thought for a moment and said slowly, "Old Qi, second uncle, although you have worked hard all the way, but the soldiers are fast, let's take a sip of warm tea and set off immediately!"

"Yes, the subordinates have orders!" several subordinates listened to the order.

"That's very good, thank you Ruoli Young Master for your help!" Ye Wuming was grateful, and hurriedly thanked him, a hint of joy flashed imperceptibly in his eyes.

Wang Ruoli and Ye Wuming quickly whipped their horses and went straight to the Red Maple Mountain Range.

"Second Uncle is so anxious, running for help, it seems that he loves Sister Qiushui very much?" The two soon approached the back col of the Red Maple Mountain Range, and Wang Ruoli asked out loud.

"Qiushui is my own niece, I grew up watching her with one hand, and I should love her!" Ye Wuming replied without thinking.

"Sister Qiushui has been weak since she was a child, but fortunately, you elders love her so much and take care of her. Although Wang Ruoli's voice was thin, it trembled slightly, "Although she was taken away today, she shouldn't blame you! No matter what happens, she will be close to your family and share the hardships." ”

"This nature, after all, is a family, one heart!" Ye Wuming said confidently, driving the horse to accelerate, "It's coming soon, just in front of the woods." ”

"Well, let's see how the other party asks!" Wang Ruoli replied in a clear voice, but his expression was inexplicably a little sentimental.

When Wang Ruoli and the two came to the woods, there were people who were guarding early and reported inside.

The two dismounted, stepped into the woods, and came to a small clearing in the middle of the woods.

Wang Ruoli couldn't help but secretly observe the surrounding woods, only to see that the trees were sparse and scattered, and the weeds were messy but not lush, which seemed to be extremely unsuitable for hiding and ambushing, and he was slightly confused in his heart.

The gangsters who kidnapped Ye Qiushui, although they were all black-clothed and masked, there were only five people, one was a sentry, two were guarding next to Ye Qiushui, one was leaning against the trunk with a horizontal knife, and the other was standing in the center, looking like the leader of this group.

At this time, Ye Qiushui's body was tied to the trunk of a tree, he had been tortured to the point that he was not human, his body was scarred and bloodstained, his entire white dress was about to be dyed reddish-brown, his hair was scattered, he couldn't even recognize his face clearly, and he was so weak that he couldn't say a word!

When Ye Wuming saw this, his liver was furious, and he scolded angrily: "Quickly release the autumn water and torture a girl, what kind of ability!"

The masked leader in the center, seeing Wang Ruo approaching the two, raised his eyebrows lightly, looked at Ye Wuming lightly, and asked coldly, "You are Ye Wushuang?"

"Ye Wushuang is my brother!" Ye Wuming said eagerly, "What do you want? ”

The masked leader's gaze moved to Wang Ruoli again, and his voice was dissatisfied: "Didn't you say that you are only allowed to come alone! It seems that you don't plan to let this girl live." ”

"Don't get me wrong, this is the young master of the Jingyang Wang family. Ye Wuming hurriedly explained, "With the ability of my Ye family, coupled with the help of the Wang family, I believe that I will be able to meet your requirements." ”

"Really?" the masked leader seemed to be suspicious, and then his eyes showed greed, "I heard that Ye Wushuang was promoted to a general, and he is responsible for guarding the Danqing Caolu! ”

"This ......" Ye Wuming was speechless.

"Haha!" Wang Ruoli laughed a little arrogantly, "Just because you also want danyu green cedony, it really makes people laugh out of their big teeth." ”

"Boy, what do you mean, don't plan to ......" The masked leader suddenly saw Wang Ruoli laughing insolently, and was slightly stunned, and then became angry.

It's just that before the words fell, the black-clothed man with a bow and a sentry on the tree over there was picked off by Qi Lao's sword.

Wang Ruoli directly drew his sword and rushed towards the masked leader, although he did not use the Red Maple Heart Sutra, but a "Frost Sky in the Falling Leaves" directly slashed down, and it was still majestic.

The masked leader held his sword and hurriedly dodged, but Ye Wuming on one side also took the opportunity to make a move, striking out from the side, and quickly slashed the sword directly on the masked leader's wrist, and the long sword in the masked leader's hand fell off his hand.

Ye Wuming got a bully approaching, and the long sword slashed horizontally.

Seeing this, the masked leader was shocked and bent down to dodge, but as soon as he stood still, he saw that Ye Wuming's long sword was already on his neck.

"I don't know if it's money or life?" Wang Ruoli sneered, "Hurry up and let go of Sister Qiushui!

Before the black-clothed man leaning against the tree with a horizontal knife behind him could react, his leader was controlled, and he couldn't help but say in a lost voice: "Leader ......"

The masked leader was now in the hands of others, and he was in a panic, and he had no time to pay attention to anything else, so he shouted in a panic: "You two, don't let people go quickly, hurry up!"

The two black-clothed men guarding Ye Qiushui over there could only reluctantly untie the rope that Ye Qiushui was tied to and put Ye Qiushui down.

"What are you doing in a daze, give it to him!" the masked leader called out hoarsely as he seemed terrified.

When the two men in black heard this, they were very helpless, so they had to grab Ye Qiushui and throw it at Wang Ruoli.
