It was already dawn when they returned to the inn, and as expected, Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce were no longer in the rooms.
Even among the four gate pillars, only Zhang Long and Zhao Hu were left lying on the ground. Dynasty Mahan did not know where he had gone.
Zhan Zhao checked every room and found some signs of fighting, especially at the door and corridor.
He could tell that those were the moves that Zhang Long and the others usually used, but strangely, he didn't find many traces of them in Gongsun Ce's room.
"If it wasn't for the use of medicine, then the master and Mr. Gongsun voluntarily left with Sima Qing... But, how could Zhang Long and Zhao Hu be lying here safe and sound... Could it be that they invited you to enter the urn?"
Afterwards, he woke up Zhang Long and Zhao Hu to ask questions, and the answers he got were indeed very different from what he had guessed.
"We discovered something was wrong not long after nightfall. The surroundings felt very quiet, with no sound at all..."
"So we thought we would go out and take a look, but who knew we would find that the entire inn was empty!"
"Realizing that something had happened, the two of us immediately rushed upstairs. Unexpectedly, as soon as we opened the door, we saw Mr. Gongsun confronting the leader of the guard in Chen's mansion. Then we drew our swords and rushed forward without thinking... …and then…then…”
Zhang Long hesitated as he spoke, and finally became silent. Seeing Zhan Zhao turn his attention to himself, Zhao Hu on the side twitched the corner of his mouth and whispered:
"Then the two of us were knocked unconscious before the man got through ten moves..."
"It seems that Mr. Gongsun was indeed taken away by Sima Qing... No! It should be said that Sima Qing thought he had taken Master Bao away. By the way, Zhao Hu, where is Master Bao? Why isn't he in the inn?"
"I know this. In the afternoon, Mr. Bao took Chaoyang and Ma Han to go out together. He said he wanted to check out the surrounding situation to avoid being led by Chen Jing and the others."
"That's fine. Mr. Bao may have found more things in the dark than we did, but I don't know how they want to treat Mr. Gongsun... Zhang Long and Zhao Hu, you didn't see or hear anything before you fainted. Got something else?"
"Well... let me think about it... Oh, oh, that's right! Before I fainted, I vaguely heard Sima Qing telling Mr. Gongsun to tie the blindfold himself!"
"Bindfold? Are you sure you heard correctly... This is troublesome. If this is the case, the place where Mr. Gongsun was taken must not be the Chen Mansion."
Hearing what Zhan Zhao said, Zhang Long scratched his hair and asked with confusion: "Huh? Why is this? If Chen Jing doesn't invite Mr. Chen to entertain him well, will he be imprisoned in the dungeon? How dare he! "
"That's not the case. Sima Qing chose to take Mr. Gongsun away instead of killing him on the spot. This shows that the Jiangzhou government is still afraid of the imperial court.
Especially since we were flaunting all the way in a big way, we would inevitably be noticed by passing merchants. Naturally, they did not dare to let the imperial envoys have trouble on their own territory.
However, such behavior inevitably has some agenda for this identity.
As for the blindfold... I have been to the Chen Mansion once a long time ago and am already familiar with the route. Unless Sima Qing took Mr. Gongsun to a new place, there would be no need to bother. "
"I see, that means Mr. Gongsun has not been killed yet, so that's good, that's good."
Zhang and Zhao couldn't help but feel happy, and felt a little aggrieved that they were no match for Sima Qing, so they couldn't help but walk around the room impatiently.
Seeing everyone's distress, Chu Qi suggested:
"Could Mr. Gongsun have been taken to Master Xuanji? I still remember the route there. It's almost dawn now, and we just made a fuss there again. I don't expect them to clean it up so quickly. If not, After a while, make enough preparations and let’s go find out the details.”
"That's it...that's it, I understand!
Girls on the seventh day of the new year, they just want us to fall into a trap. This is a conspiracy! Otherwise, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu would not be left here, let alone alive. However, we cannot ignore Mr. Gongsun! "
Turning his head, he asked Zhang Long and Zhao Hu again:
"Later, Miss Chuqi and I will go to the Liulic Palace and Chen Mansion to investigate. You will stay at the inn and wait to meet Master Bao. Remember not to act without authorization."
"As you command!"
