Chapter 139 The Girl is Missing
Cloud City Spiral Well.
This small incident that happened in Daqing Yuncheng should have quickly disappeared in the long river of history.
However, some things are like an arrow on a bow string, with its tip in the bag, and its due brilliance will never be easily concealed.
In the future, senior officials from various countries will smell the same familiar scent wherever the woman sets foot.
Later, someone concluded that it was the breath of life.
It is people’s hope.
……
The sound of gongs and drums was heard in Yuncheng, and more and more people joined the well-digging team. They did not need subsidies or two meals of porridge. They just wanted to dig a well to raise their children and grandchildren and no longer let them suffer from waterlessness.
They wanted to finish the things in the city as soon as possible so that they could open the gate of Yuncheng.
If the county lady could help them point out the location of groundwater in the fields outside the city, then Yuncheng would be completely revived.
And live forever.
Everyone is full of hope and enthusiasm.
……
Outside of Yuncheng, a graceful man in light purple robe pulled the reins of his horse and slowly raised the corners of his mouth as he listened to the cheerful sounds in the city.
He raised his eyebrows and looked in the direction of Wangque Tower.
There, that woman who is casual but sincere, kind but also sharp, usually as lazy as a cat but decisive and fierce in her actions, what is she doing at this moment?
Did you miss her as much as he did?
……
At this moment, inside Wangque Tower, Su Xin kicked open the girl's door.
She had been knocking on the door for a long time, but no sound came from inside, and she found that Qingdai was gone.
The sound of kicking the door attracted everyone's attention, and many people appeared at the gate of the yard in an instant.
"Su Xin, what happened?" Lan Lan's voice came, and everyone made way for him, leading directly to the door of Li Jiaojiao's bedroom.
"The girl is missing. She is not in the bedroom." Su Xin had already walked around the room, trying to tell herself to stay calm.
When the girl was in the capital, she would disappear from time to time and slip away by herself.
However, the strangeness of Qingyou and Qingdai still made her heart beat faster.
She was careless.
If Su Yue was here...
"Miss...Miss, Miss, Qingdai is here to take care of you and have a rest in the afternoon. I'm digging a well. Where is the gatekeeper? Has anyone seen the girl go out?" Su Xin was flustered and confused. She looked at the people in the yard pleadingly, hoping to hear news about the girl from someone.
"Go find them all! Moye, go to the county magistrate's mansion!" Lan Lan immediately gave the order and everyone dispersed.
"Why are you like this when the girl is not in the bedroom? What happened before?" A ferocious look suddenly appeared on Lan Lan's elegant face, and he stared at Su Xin and questioned.
"I..." Su Xin wanted to speak, but suddenly realized that she only knew that Qingyou disappeared halfway and had not returned yet.
The others knew nothing about it.
"Is she in trouble?" A cold voice came from above.
The two turned around and saw the man in purple on the roof of Wangque Tower. It was Lu Liang who had rushed here day and night after the palace examination.
……
Outside Yuncheng, on the road heading towards a large mountain range in the southwest corner.
A horse galloped, raising a cloud of dust along the way.
There were two girls on the horse, one sitting and one lying.
The girl lying on the horse's back must have fainted. Her limbs hung limply on the horse's back, swaying as the horse moved forward.
In April, the beginning of summer, there is a hint of heat in the air. The mountains are covered with lush vegetation, and the mountain breeze brings the fragrance of the vegetation slowly wafting over.
"They are coming." A voice came from a corner halfway up the mountain, with a hint of excitement.
One of them stood up and looked at the figure approaching in the distance, "Be careful to prevent fraud. Prepare the person inside in case of emergency."
"Yes. It has been prepared long ago, don't worry, chief. The net above has also been set up, and we guarantee that they will never return." The previous voice spoke again, very excited.
Yuncheng has failed now, but if the miracle doctor can be sent to the higher-ups, at least the lives of the remaining people can be saved.
Thinking of this, the expressions on the faces of several people halfway up the mountain became serious at the same time.
This trip must be successful and no loss is allowed.
The sound of horse hooves is getting closer.
Stop near the mountain trail.
The girl's voice was clear and loud: "Come out, I have brought the people you want. Where are my master and junior sister?"
The girl pulled the horse's reins and turned around in circles, staring around vigilantly, determined not to let the horse move forward another step.
Make sure there are no obstructions to ambush within your line of sight.
"If we don't come out, the people in the city will chase us and none of us will be able to survive." The woman waited for a long time but no one came. Finally, she lost her patience and shouted again, her voice a little impatient.
"Haha, girl, why are you in such a hurry? We have to make sure, right? The mountain road is difficult to walk on. Aren't your sisters walking slowly?" Following a rough male voice, many heads appeared one after another halfway up the mountain.
Qingdai was shocked. With so many people, could she really take her master and sister away?
"I have brought the people you want. Where are my people?" Qingdai spoke again, looking back from time to time, fearing that someone would catch up.
Her actions naturally caught the other party's attention. The bearded man in the lead narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "You said you brought it, but you asked them to lie down. We have to check the goods."
While saying this, the bearded man gestured something with his hands behind his back.
Qingdai helped the person on the horse up and leaned him against her arms so that he could see the woman's face clearly.
At the same time, he raised two black round beads the size of a baby's fist in his hand and said sternly: "I advise you not to play tricks, this is a poison developed by a genius doctor, it is poisonous for a hundred miles, and inhaling a small amount will cause incurable diseases.
You have captured my master and his sister, and made me betray the divine doctor. I have risked my life on this trip. If you dare to play tricks, we will die together!"
After saying this, he pretended to crush the thing in his hand.
"Wait a minute!" The bearded man hurriedly spoke out to stop them, and raised his hand to stop the actions of several parties. He narrowed his black eyes and sneered, "Girl, don't be impulsive. Even if we cooperate, both parties must show sincerity.
We can send one person down to see if there is anything on the girl's face, as a trade." The bearded man said to the back, "Bring up the girl's junior sister."
"Oh, oh, oh..." There was a rustling and humming sound, and a person was pushed out with his mouth blocked.
The man had his hands tied behind his back, his face was dirty, his hair was disheveled, and his clothes were torn in many places with blood oozing out.
It was the disappeared Qingyou.
Qingdai suddenly tightened her grip on the reins and looked at her sister halfway up the mountain with heartache.
Then he glared fiercely at the bearded man, clenched his teeth, but said nothing.
The bearded man sneered and waved at the thin man beside him.
The thin boy was agile and soon arrived in front of Qingdai. He stood beside the horse and reached out his hand towards the cheek of the woman in Qingdai's arms.
It seems that he wants to know if the person coming has a human skin mask or some other disguise on his face.
