"Let her go!" Zhong Gong shouted, threw the candied haws away, pulled out his sword and stepped forward to save her.
At this moment, several of the people around him opened their coats, revealing themselves dressed in black, and were guarding the big man's sides with swords.
"Throw away the sword! Otherwise..." The big man did not continue, but moved the sword in his hand.
Ling'er looked at Zhong Gong anxiously, wanting him to leave her alone and leave quickly, but she couldn't say anything. Ling'er struggled hard for a few times, and finally accidentally inhaled the drug on the veil and passed out.
Zhong Gong was anxious. He knew that Ling'er wanted him to leave, but how could he watch Ling'er being taken away by them? But Ling'er was in the opponent's hands, and he didn't dare to mess around.
As soon as Zhong Gong hesitated, he was attacked by someone and the sword fell to the ground.
The leading man asked his men to tie up Zhong Gong, then picked up Ling'er and left first.
The man next to him, who had been bowing his head and seemed to be choosing rouge and gouache, suddenly raised his head and followed secretly.
This man is Gongsun Qian.
When Gongsun Qian saw Ling'er outside the door of the sub-tank, he walked over and wanted to say hello to Ling'er. But when he saw a strange man following Linger again, Gongsun Qian paused.
Gongsun Qian followed not far behind the two men, hesitating whether to step forward. He knew that Ling'er was here to see Qi Yang off, and he also guessed that Ling'er knew Qi Yang's identity as the envoy. But Ling'er hid in the dark, fearing not to be discovered by others. Then would it embarrass Ling'er if he stepped forward to greet Ling'er at this time?
Gongsun Qian didn't want to go back just like that. He knew that Ling'er must be feeling sad at this time, and he wanted to talk to Ling'er to ease Ling'er's parting sadness. So he followed Ling'er into the market, trying to pretend to have a chance encounter with Ling'er.
But something unexpected happened suddenly.
At that time, Gongsun Qian's eyes were following the man who was following Ling'er, and he didn't see clearly how Ling'er was caught. When he noticed that Ling'er had been caught, it was too late to save him.
Ling'er fell into the opponent's hands, how could he dare to act rashly? Even if he dares to move, he is no match for so many men in black! At this moment, he could only force himself to calm down. If he wanted to save people, he could only use his wits, not his strength.
So Gongsun Qian disguised himself as a passing commoner, and then followed him secretly, waiting for an opportunity to save people.

Although Gongsun Qian thought that his qinggong was average, the other party led two people and was not lost by Gongsun Qian.
The sky had darkened, and those people took Ling'er into the mountains and came to a large open space that had been prepared before.
There was a wooden stake erected in the middle of the open space, and they tied Ling'er and Zhong Gong back to back to the wooden stake.
Gongsun Qian lurked in the dark and observed carefully.
There are only a dozen men in black here, but their martial arts skills are not much higher.
How do they ensure that people are not rescued when they arrest them? Is there some agency?
Gongsun Qian noticed that although the open space was large, the men in black who came and went only approached the wooden pile in the middle from one side. It seems that there must be traps on the surrounding ground.
Gongsun Qian pulled a piece of white cloth from his middle coat, bit his finger, and marked the surrounding layout and the route they had taken on the white cloth.
The leading man said: "Zou Qiang, go back and report to the young master, and say that he has been caught."
Zou Qiang replied: "Yes, boss. When will the news be sent to Yixingmen?"
"Why are you asking so many questions? The young master will give your orders. Please be smarter!" the leading man warned.
"Yixingmen?" Only then did Gongsun Qian realize. They caught Ling'er to force Yixingmen to save people, or to force Qi Yang to save people.
When it came to Yixingmen, Gongsun Qian couldn't help but suspect that there was some terrible conspiracy hidden behind Ling'er's arrest. He did not dare to act without permission and decided to go back to Yixingmen to bring in reinforcements. He happened to be worried that he would not be able to save anyone by himself.
Thinking of this, Gongsun Qian left in a hurry.

When Qi Dian heard that Gongsun Qian said that Ling'er had been captured, he immediately guessed that it was Madam Piao Piao's plot. However, he did not expect that Madam Piao Piao would act so quickly. Ji Cangyu had just left Beijing!
Qi Dian immediately sent people to summon several masters from various branches of the capital to come over to discuss a rescue plan.
Ren Fei said ashamedly: "It was my subordinates who neglected their duties! The brothers who were sent to lurk outside Jijiazhuang didn't know when Miss Ling'er left Jijiazhuang."
"You don't have to blame yourself! Mrs. Piaopiao has many ways to lure Miss Ling'er out without disturbing us." Qi Dian said.
"No, Miss Ling'er made a special trip to see Brother Qi off!" Gongsun Qian said, "At that time I also wanted to see Brother Qi off, but I happened to see the girl hiding in the dark far away."
"So there is such a thing?" Qi Dian said with emotion.
Gongsun Qian thought of something and took the opportunity to confirm to Qi Dian: "But there is no Qi brother among the group, but there is the Yixing envoy. In fact, the Qi brothers are..."
Before Gongsun Qian finished speaking, he was interrupted by Qi Dian.
Qi Dian said solemnly: "Don't talk nonsense! Even if you guess some things, you can only hide them in your heart and cannot say them out!"
Gongsun Qian was so frightened by Qi Dian's tone that he froze there.
Ren Fei on the side patted Gongsun Qian on the shoulder and said, "Just pay attention next time!"
"According to the sect's rules, you will be severely punished for revealing the identity of the messenger!" Qi Dian said sternly.
"Master, please don't scare him. Those who don't know are not guilty, and there are only three of us here." Ren Fei smiled to smooth things over.
"I will pay attention to it in the future." Gongsun Qian lowered his head and whispered.
"Just keep this matter to yourself!" Ren Fei said to Gongsun Qian.
Gongsun Qian nodded.
At this moment, someone knocked on the door and came in and handed Qi Dian a letter.
After Qi Dian finished reading, Ren Fei asked: "Is it the letter they sent?"
"Yes. They specified that Ayang should go to Wenshan Academy alone, otherwise they would not let him go." Qi Dian said.
"Wenshan Academy? Miss, she is not in Wenshan Academy!" Gongsun Qian said in confusion.
Qi Dian explained: "They captured Miss Ling'er just to force Ayang to show up. They were worried that we would go directly to rescue people, so naturally they would not tell us the girl's true whereabouts."
"So it turns out they wanted to arrest Brother Qi?" Gongsun Qian finally understood.
"So, thanks to brother Gongsun this time." Qi Dian said with a smile, completely different from the serious look just now.
"Actually, I didn't do anything." Gongsun Qian said nervously.
"No! Without your information, we wouldn't have been able to save anyone. They wouldn't have let Miss Ling'er go until A Yang showed up!" Qi Dian said seriously.
"This is what I should do." Gongsun Qian said shyly.
"Then what should we do next?" Ren Fei asked.
"Aren't you going to rescue people directly? There are not many people on that mountain." Gongsun Qian was puzzled.
"It is indeed not difficult to save people, but we can take this opportunity to stop Mrs. Piao Piao from thinking about using Miss Ling'er to contain A Yang." Qi Dian said.
