Liu Shengsheng already wanted to go back and didn't pay much attention to Yongxuan's words.
However, Yizhou said speechlessly: "The missing children are dealt with by the government, so we ordinary people don't need to worry about it. Besides, the girl is a prostitute. Even if you can really see the city lord, the city lord may not have time to care about you. He doesn't have time to think about so many things." , it is better to focus your time on improving yourself, and living your life focusing on other people's gifts to you will not last long."
These cold and heartless words made Yongxuan immediately embarrassed, "What do you mean, Master?"
"Brother, what did you say?"
Yichen was speechless, "Miss Yongxuan, don't worry about him. My brother is so stubborn. He always talks like this."
Yongxuan obviously understood something, but she didn't show it, just smiled awkwardly.
But the people on the street suddenly retreated to both sides, still shouting "The city lord is here" and other words.
Liu Shengsheng also retreated to the side of the road, and saw a carriage coming in this direction from a distance.
"I heard that the city lord has been investigating the case of missing children every day recently. It's been a month and I still don't have any clues."
"Well, the neighboring city has fallen, and the clouds are almost reaching our Jiangcheng. Now that we have lost so many children, the city lord must be very worried."
The people on the roadside were talking a lot, and someone else said: "Didn't you say that the reinforcements are coming soon? There is no need to worry about Yundu, right?"
"How can it be that easy? Yundu captured our two big cities in a row in just a few months. I heard that Li City next door was infected with the plague due to the war, and many people died."
"The plague was brought here by Yundu. It's not because of the war. But their soldiers may be carrying the plague. If they break into Jiangcheng, we all have to finish it. Otherwise, we should find time to escape quickly. Go to the city?"
"..."
While the people on the roadside were talking non-stop, Yongxuan next to him suddenly rushed into the middle of the road and stopped the city lord's carriage.
This move made the people on the roadside sigh.
"Bold! You dare to block anyone's carriage, are you risking your life?"
The guard in front of the car yelled angrily.
But I heard Yongxuan say very confidently: "Lord City Lord, I have a way to find those children!"
Yizhou sneered, "Arrogant."
As he said that, he looked at Liu Shengsheng and said, "Girl, let's go back."
Liu Shengsheng nodded, glanced at Yongxuan who kept showing off in front of the carriage, shook her head slightly, and left with Yizhou.
Such a pushy girl, I really don’t know what she did before. Does she think time travelers are superior to others?
There are many people in this world who live their lives on the edge of a knife. Any young lady in a purdah is very scheming. In such a background, she dares to be so high-profile, as if she has no brains.
"..."
When she returned to her residence, Liu Shengsheng asked Yizhou to bring the account books of the three pharmacies. After checking them, she found that there were no problems. She went to the restaurant under her name to have a look, and then went back to her house to rest.
I heard from Yizhou that the three pharmacies in Jiangcheng are doing very well. Except for one of them, it hired a doctor from the city to help with the store, and the other two are gang members who look after the stores incognito.
After a busy day, Liu Shengsheng planned to go to bed and rest.
But there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Girl, have you rested?"
"What's the matter?"
"That boy Yichen slipped out. I'm worried. Can I go out with him?"
The door opened and Liu Shengsheng walked out tiredly, "Where has he gone?"
"It was that woman who convinced the city lord. She probably wanted to show off in front of the city lord, or she wanted to prove her strength. She spent money to find a child to play something like luring a snake out of its hole, and now she and the child have disappeared together. Now The child's mother was crying and screaming, and Yichen was worried, so he followed the news to find out..."
Yizhou hated the fact that iron could not become steel, and said: "He is really ignorant. He is afraid that you won't agree and steal it while you are back in the house."
He sneaked out, and when I find him, I will definitely give him a good lesson, but..."
"I understand."
Liu Shengsheng had a headache. This Yichen was really worrying, "Do you know which direction he went?"
Yizhou nodded, "She shouldn't have gone far yet."
"Then let's come together and lead the way."
Yizhou jumped onto the roof with a light skill, and Liu Shengsheng followed closely behind him, not slower than him at all.
Seeing that her Qing Gong was so good, Yi Zhou secretly admired her. He still remembered that Liu Shengsheng was not very proficient in Qing Gong at the beginning, but now, after only a few months, she has become proficient in it...
They used Qinggong all the way to leave Jiangcheng and drove for a long time on the trails outside the city. Until midnight, they still failed to catch up with Yichen.
It was a dark and windy night, and they almost lost their way. They searched like headless flies all night until it was dark and they finally stopped at a lake.
"This is the place Yichen was talking about. If the woman was really kidnapped here, she should be by this lake."
Looking at the endless lake in front of her, Liu Shengsheng's eyelids twitched, "If you didn't say it was a lake, I thought we were at the beach."
Yi Zhou said: "It is a lake, but the water of this lake can indeed be connected to the seaside. The people under my command said that they found that many of the children were kidnapped to the lake and were finally transported away quietly by boat. If this is true, this lake There should be a boat parked next to it."
"That one?"
Liu Shengsheng pointed to the small black spot in the distance, which indeed looked like a ship.
Yi Zhou frowned and said, "Let's go over and take a look. If it's really a ship, the kid must have slipped on it..."
After a pause, he continued: "There are rumors that the forces that kidnap children are closely related to Huajinglou. If it is really the children kidnapped by Huajinglou, I'm afraid the situation will be a bit tricky."
Huajinglou?
This name sounded so familiar. Liu Shengsheng always felt that she had heard it somewhere before, but she couldn't remember it for a while, so she said: "It doesn't matter what the building is, we don't cause trouble, and we can't be afraid of it."
Yizhou nodded, "I made money by kidnapping children. I didn't expect Huajinglou to be so disgusting, and I never thought that woman could be so stupid. She just let an innocent child lure the snake out of the hole. She lured out the trafficker and let herself and the child They were caught together by human traffickers, what is in her head?"
"It's unclear what's in her head, but you should know what's in your brother's head."
Yizhou: "..."
As they gradually approached, they saw a huge ship coming into view.
Far away, they saw a group of black figures busyly surrounding the ship, and from time to time they would carry some big bags onto the ship.
There was a sea of people at the bow of the ship, and there were people guarding the stern. The cabin was two stories high. From the outside, you could see at least thirty or forty people...
It's on the first floor of the cabin.
Several men stood at the door of a room with stern looks.
"This girl is so handsome, how about we all have some fun first? Anyway, our main goal is those children. This woman brought them to our door. If you don't play, you won't have any fun."
The other man rubbed his hands, "But didn't the boss say that we should stay until the evening and wait until he has had enough fun?"
"..."
As they talked, several people looked at the women in the room unscrupulously.
It was a very dark room with no windows and only a candlelight for lighting.
Yongxuan huddled in the corner of the room, her face pale and her whole body still shaking.
