Chapter 29: Forced Abduction
Li Yan consciously understood what he had learned today, so he didn't continue, thought about it for a while, and after a brief explanation from the Li Mansion, he left at night. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"I heard that Qinqing said that her hometown Jizhou City is good, and since I have nowhere to go now, I might as well go there. Thinking so, he raised his leg and headed straight to the southeast. This time I was not in a hurry, so I didn't ride a horse, but only walked through the mountains and forests with a pair of meat legs.
When you don't know the direction, you go to a market town where you can meet people, and then continue on your way.
After walking like this for five days, I saw a small town in the distance.
"Get out of the way!" Li Yan was walking on the winding mountain road, but there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves behind him, and then three men and one woman rushed past him. One of the fair-skinned men even slammed a horsewhip at him because he was a little slow.
"Look for death!" Li Yan was furious in his heart, and when the horsewhip had just been drawn to the side of his face, he suddenly reached out and shook it, and suddenly heard an exclamation, and then saw the man fall off the galloping red horse at once. Fortunately, he is also a good skill, and at the critical moment, he threw his waist and used his strength to straighten his body, avoiding the tragedy of sticking his head directly to the ground. Even so, he was scared into a cold sweat.
"Who are you, how dare you obstruct us from carrying out our official duties!" said the man, who almost breathed fire in his eyes, and drew the long knife at his waist and was about to pounce on it.
"Zhang Qiao, forget it, official business is important!" was a black-faced man who spoke. He could already see that Li Yan was not easy to mess with.
"You're lucky!" Zhang Qiao glanced at Li Yan hatefully, turned on his horse again, and left quickly with the other three.
"It's a quick catch!" Li Yan sneered, "If it weren't for your identity, how could the young master easily let you, a villain, leave?"
That night, Li Yan stayed in Changshan Town, a nearby town, and still practiced swordsmanship several times as usual before returning to Fang Shen to comprehend the retreat. But I don't want to hear someone crying in the middle of the night, and the sound is faintly coming, as if someone has lost a child and is looking around.
"What's going on?" If it was something else, Li Yan could ignore it, but this matter had already touched the wound in his heart. Back then, his sister Li Qing disappeared so inexplicably, and then his relatives changed one after another, how could he not be in pain?
Li Yan came outside and looked for a voice.
"My poor baby, she is only fifteen years old, she must have been kidnapped by some bad person, which kind person will help me find it!" At the corner of the street, a middle-aged woman with a good face was sitting on the ground and weeping bitterly. A middle-aged man beside him also wept silently.
Around them, more than a dozen people had gathered at this moment, some wearing clothes, some carrying trousers, obviously all of whom had just been woken up.
"Brother Tang, tell me what's wrong with your daughter, why are you two crying here in the middle of the night?" asked a thin middle-aged man.
"We didn't know what was going on, but we woke up in the middle of the night and suddenly found that my baby was missing. A few days ago, I heard that many families elsewhere have lost their daughters, but I didn't expect to be put on the stall by my family today. I don't know who is doing evil, what can I do?" the man surnamed Tang cried.
"What's the use of crying here?
"Public business, no one else, get out of the way!" Before the words fell, he saw four figures flash, quickly passed through the crowd, and came to the woman's side.
"So they're here for this!" Li Yan said secretly. It turned out that these four people were the four horseback catchers that Li Yan met in the mountains.
"Why are you here?" The four people soon saw Li Yan and couldn't help but be stunned, and Zhang Qiao, the catcher who had suffered a loss, asked with a frosty face.
"Why can't I be here? Catch the big man, now is not the time to deal with the small people......" Li Yan said lightly.
"I'll settle accounts with you in the future!" Zhang Qiao didn't say anything more when he heard this, and turned his head to get down to business.
But despite their efforts, the four of them did not ask for any more useful information, except for the certainty that the family's doors and windows were locked inside, but they had been broken open silently and without a trace. This has already been confirmed by the four people on the spot.
"Could it be a flower thief? But listening to these four people, at least three girls disappeared this night. Could it be that the current flower thieves like to come out together to commit crimes?" Li Yan felt that it was wrong the more he thought about it, there must be something he didn't understand......
Day 2.
After Li Yan finished cultivating, he looked at the sky, and it was evening again.
"It seems that the only way to do it is to use the stupidest way. After going back and forth and rejecting several ideas, he decided to go with the original idea. Looking around, he suddenly went straight to the tallest tree in Changshan Town. Although it was completely dark, seeing was still not a problem for him. All he was going to do was wait, for the arrival of those flower-picking thugs, for their actions to be revealed.
At this time, the four catchers also began to act, and the woman was dressed as a beautiful little girl at the moment, staying at the corner of the street, and the other three were quietly hiding in the distance. Li Yan shook his head, it was no wonder that such an obvious move could attract those guys to take the bait.
Time passed, and the four catchers gradually lost patience.
But at this moment, I suddenly saw a figure flash in the air, and the next moment I went straight to the female catcher. It was as fast as a galloping horse, and it was silent until they stretched out their hands to catch the female catcher that the four of them noticed that someone was coming.
"Thief, let go!" the female catcher cried out in the air, apparently frightened. I don't know what the man did, and then he was silent.
"Xiaoying!" Zhang Qiao shouted loudly when he saw this, and then jumped up and pulled out the long knife in his hand and held it in his hand, but the speed of the man was too fast, and he didn't even have time to cut a knife, and the figure of the man was already dozens of zhang away, leaving the stunned three catchers.
"No wonder I dare to make a move, it turns out that he is a cultivator, and he is also a monk in the early stage of foundation building. Li Yan frowned slightly, "I won't make any extraneous things if I do other things, but I can't ignore this kind of thing, otherwise I'll be sorry for my poor sister, alas! Where are you?"
A moment later, a black shadow burst out of the canopy, followed by a few leaps and disappeared into the distant mountain road.
Li Yan tracked all the way, and after a meal, he chased him halfway up the mountain.
And at this moment, two more people suddenly appeared in front of them, and the same person was carrying a flower girl on his shoulder.
