Chapter XVI: The Robbery
Everyone was finally relieved, gathered in Shitantai to drink and celebrate, more than 200 people were born and died together, and everyone was like brothers for a while.
These people are the leaders of the team who came to Fushi Fort this time, and they are also the senior leaders or successors of various sects and families.
Everyone scrambled to find the princess to drink, but Xu Yao shirked them one by one, saying that the princess was not strong enough to drink and was tired. Everyone had to respect the three princes, and Xu Yao couldn't get rid of it, so he had to drink with them. Master Shengjing also smiled, let go of the mystery of the past, and happily drank with everyone.
Xiao Moran took the wine glass and looked at Yuhan with a smile: "What a wonderful experience, haha!"
Yuhan smiled slyly: "Thank you for your help, otherwise I would have died several times." ”
"It's your own wit and bravery. ”
"A lot of things are coincidences, I think I will be blessed if I don't die!"
"So what are your plans for the future?"
"I don't have any plans, go back to the Red Leaf Warm Pavilion and see the master. This time I was very lucky, it was a pleasure to meet you, come and have a glass. ”
"And me? How can someone who is destined to have me less?" Xu Yao didn't know when he approached, and he grabbed Yuhan's slender waist with a big hand.
"Let it go" Yuhan warned softly, she had a hundred ways to deal with the hooligans.
"You will be my princess in a month, don't forget?" Xu Yao murmured intimidatingly and playfully.
Xiao Moran stepped on the wine glasses of the two of them separately, drank them all, turned around with a smile and slowly left.
"I'll be optimistic about my own princess. After Xu Yao finished speaking, he let go of his arm and left.
The complicated gaze of a woman in red in the crowd also slowly moved away from her.
A guard hurried over, followed by two people covered in dirt and bloodstained clothes: "Third prince, elders, young master, we, we have been robbed, we have met a ghost, we have been robbed by a ghost, it is terrible. ”
"What? I was robbed by a ghost, how did I rob it?" asked Xu Yao.
One person hurriedly said: "I am from Kunlong Palace, my name is Min Yuqi, and I will go to Yanhua City with everyone in the morning." Halfway through, suddenly a black wind blew, and a group of men and horses, dressed strangely and unable to understand speech, surrounded us, and then a ghost who could speak Chinese came out. He said they were devils, let us follow them, listen to him, or we will be killed. ”
"Oh, what's going on?" the crowd was puzzled.
Another continued, "Some of us resisted, and they all fell to the ground, and the scene was extremely miserable. I am the Xu family in Kunhao City, called Xu Jiaxiang, the two of us took advantage of their inattention, pretended to be dead and fell to the ground, thinking that they were far away, we dared to come back to report the news, but just a hundred meters away from us, suddenly a puff of black smoke floated in all directions, and more than 800 people disappeared in an instant. ”
"Don't worry, tell me what they're wearing. Xu Yao asked people to bring two bowls of water.
"They wore turbans around their heads, various masks, short coats on their upper bodies, and strange costumes on their lower bodies and legs apart. Min Yuqi said.
"Hufu" Yuhan blurted out, "They should be very good at equestrianism, tall and strong, and have strong wrestling ability, they should be people from the prairie." ”
"Yes, they like to shout, and two of them are very tall and mighty, and as powerful as oxen. Min Yuqi continued.
"It's terrible, I didn't see it with my own eyes, I can't believe it, it's all taken away by the devil. Xu Jiaxiang has not yet come out of the panic.
"Where did the demons and monsters come from, they dared to come here to make trouble. Xu Yao said angrily, "This is not far from our northern border, and some of the neighboring countries there are dressed like this, good at riding horses and archery, and are known for witchcraft, and there are frictions with our Taihan Kingdom from time to time, can they be so bold to rob money and rob people." ”
"Let's chase them, get them back. "Everyone was outraged.
Xu Yao was silent.
Master Shengjing hurriedly said to everyone: "Don't worry, this time pretending to be a ghost to kidnap us, it should be a planned action, and it doesn't seem to be someone else's move, you think, we are close to more than 800 people, and they are all disciples of various sects and families in the Taihan Kingdom, can ordinary forces hijack us? This is obviously a huge organizational act, and now we can't find a direction to chase it." ”
"Yes, what the master said is that this is not a simple folk act, of course, it will not be done by ghosts, monsters or something, I will not know how to use such a careful plan, it is a secret organization, and even a provocation between countries, I urgently need to go back to the Emperor and send troops to fight. Xu Yao said, "Their lives will not be in danger for the time being, the leaders of all sects are here, I hope you can go back and explain this matter to the head and patriarch as soon as possible, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble." ”
"Don't worry, the third prince, let's go back, explain it clearly to the family teacher and the patriarch, and then come back to help the third prince. ”
"Thank you!"
The crowd went on the road and left.
Everyone left, leaving only Xu Yao, Master Shengjing, Xiao Moran and others.
"Let's go together, let's go to the scene first!" Xu Yao said.
Everyone agreed.
Yuhan approached Min Yuqi and Xu Jiaxiang, "Can you two recognize me?"
Min Yuqi shook his head, and Xu Jiaxiang said: "Princess, when we first arrived at Fushi Castle, our two tents were leaning together!"
"Well, big brother has a good memory. ”
"Your junior brother Lu Ting is very good, he is clever and diligent, and the people around him like him very much, but unfortunately I have a family of nine people, and all five of you were arrested by them. ”
"Big brother, don't worry, I will be rescued, I promised the master, the six people must go back when the six people come out. She said firmly.
"Senior Brother Min," Yuhan said to Min Yuqi again.
"Don't dare, Princess. ”
"Which faction do you think you're from?"
"It's from Kunlong Palace. He said, "It's been ten years in Kunlong Palace, and this time the master asked our ten senior brothers to come out and see the world. ”
"You're the leader?"
"yes!"
"My master Linglong Woman asks how is the master?"
"Thank you, thank you, when I go back, I'll bring hello. ”
"That's good. Yuhan's dark eyes flashed with inspiration.
After walking for most of the day, they came to the place of the accident, which was messy, with discarded knives and sticks, clothes, etc., and several hacked corpses lying next to them, but no other party's remnants were found.
"You two take us to see where you pretended to be dead and where they disappeared. Xu Yao said.
The two of them walked into the desert, and in a moment they pointed to a clearing, and here we were, and the men had disappeared under the dunes.
Everyone carefully examined and found no traces, not even a piece of cloth.
After a while.
Master Shengjing said goodbye to Xu Yao: "Third prince, the old man is going back, I can't help with the next things, and the third prince of Lao has to worry about rescuing everyone as soon as possible." ”
"Master, you go slowly, you are still busy for us at such an old age, I really don't want to go, this time the demon will be captured thanks to you. After returning to the capital, I will let my father personally go to thank him!"
"The third prince is polite, princess, Xiao Gongzi has said goodbye, and you will all come to sit in the old decay mountain when you have time. ”
Xiao Moran and Yuhan also bowed their hands to compile: "Master, take care." ”
Taishan Big Dipper and the two boys disappeared into the moonlight after a short time.
"It's our turn, Third Prince, Miss Yuhan, I will also go back to Xiaoyao Palace first, and we will meet in a few days. ”
"Brother Xiao, pay attention to safety, we have to go back to Kyoto first, and then we will meet!" Xu Yao arched his hand.
Xiao Moran took Lu Yao and another female disciple in white and floated away.
There were a dozen or so people left in the desert.
Xu Yao stood motionless on top of the sand dunes.
Yuhan knew that he was very uncomfortable at this time, very dazed, there was no clue here, there was no way to start, how to find everyone, more than 800 people disappeared overnight, how to explain to various sects and families, and the burden of a thousand catties fell on him.
Yuhan looked up at the full moon hanging in the sky, and whispered in his heart: "Meng'er, where is it! I have wronged you, I will definitely rescue you and go back to see the master together." ”
Finally, Xu Yao walked down the sand dune and looked at everyone: "Let's go back to Kyoto!"
Xu Jiaxiang's face was embarrassed: "Third prince, do I want to go with you too?"
Without waiting for Xu Yao to answer, Yu Han nodded hurriedly, "You two are the only parties involved, of course, you have to follow the three princes at any time, and you can consult the two of you at any time if you have any questions." ”
"Yes, we need to help the third prince find everyone. Min Yuqi nodded his head in loyalty.
"But I've been away from home for a long time. ”
"You don't have to go home first, the patriarch won't blame you, the nine brothers and sisters are gone, you better find them and go back." Yuhan continued.
Xu Yao glanced at Yu Han coldly and said, "Since the princess has said it, then let's go." ”
The two men got on their horses and went away with them and a few of the guards.
Suddenly, a ghostly black shadow emerged from the sand dunes, looking at their distant backs, and let out a gloomy sneer.
