"What does that old gentleman look like? I don't know anything about... ah," the girl said as she glanced around and saw a vegetable seller carrying a basket. She immediately pointed and said, "Just like that old gentleman. Pretty much the same, with white hair, a hunched body, and a trembling voice."
Wen Huan said, "Didn't you let him wait?"
The girl said: "I gave in."
"Go and do your work first." After sending the little girl away, Chen Anning glanced at the note in his hand, then looked at the pillar the girl pointed to, and comforted Wen Huan, "Maybe the old gentleman didn't want to come forward, so he used this method. .Whether it’s true or false, be prepared and we’ll go over and take a look right away.”
Wen Huan responded, turned around and went back to the house. He called a few girls who were helping him to come over and explained the various tasks for welcoming the guests.
After Chen Anning glanced at the note again, she looked at the pillar pointed by the girl.
The note said that there were two flower buildings on Dongsi Street in Wuxing County. There were many half-grown children hidden in the flower buildings. Most of these children were sent there by Fan Dahai's group of bandits. Xu Zan has already gone to Huainan Road. If he had to wait for him to come back to confirm the authenticity, it would take as little as five or six days or as many as ten days. Chen Anning couldn't afford to wait. In other words, if it was true, the two children in the flower house Can't wait.
So after Wen Huan prepared his horse, the two of them galloped towards Wuxing County with twelve secret guards.
When I arrived in Wuxing County, I followed the address on the note and found two flower buildings hidden in a quiet alley.
The door of the flower building is closed.
There was no sound inside.
Wen Huan learned through inquiring that these two flower houses were closed shortly after the accident at the old couple's inn. However, an insider revealed that they had just closed the door openly and were still doing business with old customers secretly.
Chen Anning turned to the back door of one of the flower buildings, flew into the courtyard, and walked quietly through several courtyards of the flower building to make sure the news was true, then returned to the door and signaled to Wen Huan and the secret guards. After a wink, he stepped forward and kicked open the door.
After asking everyone to squat down with their heads in their hands, and pushing aside the pleasure-seeking guests, the madam, and others, Chen Anning looked at the dozen or so girls squatting together, and the anger in his eyes instantly ignited.
When we rescued those girls in Biehua Tower, most of them were still in the stage of being educated.
But the girls here, like those who were rescued, are only ten to fourteen or fifteen years old, but they all wear heavy makeup and scantily clad clothes.
After letting Wen Huan comfort the girls, Chen Anning took out the whip from his waist and walked towards the guests and the madam who were having fun.
As the pleasure-seeking guests and the madam begged for mercy, Chen Anning whipped them.
only……
Wen Huan's cry of pain sounded one step ahead of these people!
When Chen Anning turned around, what he saw was an eleven or twelve-year-old girl holding a blood-stained dagger in her hand. Wen Huan, on the other hand, was held up by the arms of several other girls and rushed out of the flower building quickly.
Chen Anning immediately chased him out.
A group of people suddenly came from all directions to block her and the secret guards who followed her.
By the time they finished dealing with these people and chased them, Wen Huan had already been led into Nanqing Mountain.
Nanqing Mountain is a high mountain thirty miles away from the eastern suburbs of Wuxing County.
The mountains are high and the forests are dense.
The person who took Wen Huan away was obviously familiar with Nanqing Mountain.
In a few blinks, he disappeared deep into the jungle.
The secret guards couldn't keep up.
Chen Anning simply threw them away and chased after them alone.
This pursuit led to the cliff at the top of the mountain.
"Are you Fan Dahai's men?" Looking at the girl holding a knife against Wen Huan's neck, Chen Anning stopped and asked the other girls and the twenty-odd bandits surrounding the girl.
"Miss Chen Er has a good eye." One of the bandits admitted generously, "I have always heard about Miss Chen Er, and today I finally got to meet her."
Seeing Chen Anning's sleeves turning, the bandit said again: "I know Miss Chen is good at poisoning, but I still kindly advise Miss Chen not to act rashly. Miss Chen also saw it, and Miss Wen was standing on the edge of the cliff. Well, if Miss Chen Er acts rashly, there is no way to guarantee what we will do when we are frightened."
Chen Anning looked at Wen Huan.
Wen Huan said, "No."
The girl's dagger tightened instantly.
Chen Anning glanced at the girl coldly, then looked at the injury on Wen Huan's chest, then looked at the blood beads rolling down her neck, and said softly: "You are arresting her, don't you just want to force Xie Xun to stop dealing with you? ?I am Xie Xun’s unmarried wife. If you let her go, I will be your hostage.”
The bandits' purpose in arresting Wen Huan was to force her to submit. When she mentioned it on her own initiative, they took advantage of the situation and said, "It's okay if you want us to let her go, but..."
Before he could finish speaking, Chen Anning took out all the bottles and jars on his body and threw them far away. He also threw the whip, dagger, and dagger far away, and said, "Is it okay?"
The bandit glanced at one of the girls and said, "It's not that we don't trust Miss Chen Er, it's just that we were careful and there was no big mistake."
Chen Anning opened his hands when Wen Huan stopped him, indicating to the girl to search as she pleased.
After searching, the girl shook her head at the bandit.
The bandit immediately said: "Miss Chen Er is indeed a cheerful person. Let's tie up Miss Chen Er."
"Wait a minute." Chen Anning said, "As you said, there is nothing wrong with being careful. Let's wait until my people arrive before we talk. Otherwise, it will be hard for me to believe that you won't regret it after kidnapping me."
The bandits were about to refuse.
The secret guards have arrived.
Seeing that they were about to tie Chen Anning's hands and feet, the secret guards immediately came over with their swords raised.
Chen Anning asked them to step back and let them tie her hands and feet, then calmly said: "Can we let her go?"
The two girls who were holding daggers against Wen Huan pushed Wen Huan over at the bandit's signal. When they passed by Chen Anning, one continued to lead Wen Huan forward, and the other quickly held a dagger against her chest. Throat. After bringing her to the edge of the cliff, the girl pushing Wen Huan pushed Wen Huan towards the secret guard.
Wen Huan was seriously injured.
Chen Anning ordered the secret guard, "Take Fourth Miss Wen down the mountain for treatment immediately!"
The secret guards were unwilling to leave, so Chen Anning said: "This is my order! Go quickly!"
After taking one look at the bandits, the secret guards were forced to take Wen Huan away.
Two bandits followed them to prevent them from fighting back.
After the secret guards walked away, the bandits immediately took out a black cloth and covered Chen Anning's eyes, then led her down the mountain from the other side.
Three days later.
Chen Anning was brought to the Forbidden Army who were fighting the bandits.
As soon as the leader of the Imperial Guard saw her.
The cleanup was immediately stopped.
However, the purpose of the bandits is not to make them retreat, but...
Three more days later.
Chen Anning was brought back to the top cliff of Nanqing Mountain again.
She was hung from the cliff.
A heavy group of archers formed a formation on the cliff, with some of their arrow tips facing her and some of their arrow tips pointing towards the road up the mountain.
They wanted to use her to lure Xie Xun here!
They brought her to appear in front of the imperial army, just to let everyone know that she was in their hands, so that Xie Xun had to come!
