Chen Kan's face was ashen. He never expected that Ah Jin, who was still alive and kicking before he left the village, would now only have a bloody suit left.
But how did the White Lotus Sect kidnap her?
Apparently when he decided to pursue them, the White Lotus cultists had already fled into the mountains.
Are there any White Lotus cultists who have gone and come back?
Chen Kan was puzzled.
Clenching his fists, Chen Kan's hatred for the White Lotus Sect increased to a new level.
He forced himself to calm down and asked in a deep voice: "Are you sure that Ajin's body was not found?"
Maggie got off the tiger and walked up to Chen Kan, saying softly: "We have led people to search the mountains and forests around the village, and it is true that Ajin's body was not found. Please don't doubt our efforts in searching the mountains."
Hearing this, Chen Kan suddenly felt a glimmer of hope in his heart.
Since there is no body, does that mean Ajin is probably still alive?
As if to confirm Chen Kan's guess, a group of soldiers suddenly broke into the village.
"Where is the Imperial Envoy? We have important military information to report!"
As soon as the soldier entered the door, he shouted loudly to attract everyone's attention.
When Chen Kan heard this, he subconsciously turned his head and looked at the soldier.
"I'm here, what's wrong?"
Chen Kan recognized that the person who came was none other than Mu Sheng's personal guard. He was on the way back from Ami Prefecture that day.
He strode to Chen Kan's side, knelt down on one knee and reported: "Your Excellency, I have found out the whereabouts of the remnants of the Lotus Sect. Please give me your order on what to do next."
"Where is the White Lotus Sect?"
Chen Kan was stunned.
Then it dawned on him: "Have you been hiding in secret?"
The soldier responded: "Bei Shi and others were ordered by the Marquis to hunt down the remnants of the White Lotus Cult. When your Excellency led the troops to pursue and fight against the White Lotus Cultists, Bei Shi and the others pursued them deep into the mountains."
Chen Kan suddenly felt grateful to Mu Sheng. It turned out that he had left a backup plan.
He immediately asked: "Which direction did they go?"
The soldier bowed and said, "According to my humble opinion, they are likely to appear in the direction of Longshou Pass."
"Sir, do you want me to send a letter to the brothers who are following them so that they can intercept them?"
"In addition, I and others saw that the native woman who went to report to the Lord that day was also among their team."
After listening to the soldier's words, Chen Kan closed his eyes.
It turns out that Ah Jin was really kidnapped by them.
"Dragon Head Pass?"
Chen Kan muttered to himself, and then said calmly: "Don't scare the snake yet, I'll go to Longshou Pass and wait!"
The soldier's words were also heard by Ah Dao on the side. He rushed to the soldier, grabbed the soldier's chest, and asked excitedly: "Are you sure that my daughter is also in their team?"
The soldier saw Ah Dao's face clearly and recognized him as the chief flag officer under Luo Qianhu's command. He didn't care about his rudeness and just nodded and said: "Sure!"
"Ajin is still alive, Ajin is still alive~"
Ah Dao let go of the soldier's collar, and his whole body suddenly went crazy.
The experiences of the past few days almost caused the mentality of this ethnic minority man to collapse.
First, the father died at the hands of the enemy, and then the daughter disappeared.
Now that she suddenly knew that her daughter was still alive, her tense spirit suddenly relaxed.
The couple immediately hugged each other and cried in the square.
"Our daughter is still alive, she is still alive..."
After receiving the news that A Jin was still alive, the haze in Chen Kan's heart was swept away.
Since the White Lotus Sect chose to kidnap Ah Jin instead of killing her, it meant that her life was not in danger for the time being.
Chen Kan no longer cared about the weather, and immediately ordered the soldier: "Follow them closely, I will go to Longshou Pass myself!"
"yes!"
The soldiers took the order and left.
They were originally Mu Sheng's backup plan for Chen Kan. They would do whatever Chen Kan said!
"Sir, I will follow you to Longshou Pass."
Ah Dao recovered from his excitement and knelt in front of Chen Kan with his knees weak.
Chen Kan originally wanted to refuse. After all, Ah Dao's family suddenly suffered such a change, and it was not appropriate for him to leave home at this time. But after thinking about it, Ah Jin was his daughter after all, so he said in a deep voice: "Okay, let's go together and rescue her." Ah Jin!”
Chen Kan was sure to get there before Fo Zi rushed to Longshou Pass, because Fo Zi needed to take people over the mountains and ridges, but Chen Kan didn't need to. The wide official road allowed him to gallop as he pleased.
"Sir, I have the obligation to remind you that there is only half a month left before the hospital examination. If you rush to Longshou Pass in person, I am afraid that we will not be able to get back to the capital before the hospital examination."
Fang Xu consciously jumped out to cause trouble.
Chen Kan's personal guards all knew that Chen Kan was going to take part in the imperial examination, and Fang Xu's move was intended to remind him.
Although from the bottom of his heart he did not think that the Lao Shizi imperial examination was of any use to his family, he still faithfully performed his duties as a personal guard.
Chen Kan said calmly: "Then there will be no exam."
Now that things have happened, Chen Kan is too lazy to worry about whether to take the imperial examination or not.
Although this is likely to hurt Fang Xiaoru's heart, after experiencing what happened in Wangyue Village, Chen Kan understood a truth.
No matter what form you use to climb to the top, only the power in your hands is real.
Without the strength in his hands, even if he got the top prize and became the official of Fang Xiaoru, the official secretary, Zhu Di could still bring him down with one word.
Could it be that Fang Xiaoru was able to gain Zhu Di's respect and convince all the officials because of his knowledge?
No, it relies on his status as a scholar leader. He can make students all over the world obey his orders with just one sentence. This is real power.
So now, whether to take the imperial examination or not is not that important to Chen Kan.
After getting the clear answer, Fang Xu said no more.
"Send a team of people to Tonghai County Government and ask Chen An to take the people to Shengjing Pass to wait for us. If he can't wait, let him return to Beijing on his own. The others will follow me and rush to Longshou Pass all night!"
After Chen Kan gave the order, the village became busy.
Chen Kan got on his horse, raised his hands to Maggie, Ma Baoer, and the young patriarch of the Paiyi Tusi Mansion who came to support him, and said: "Thank you for your great kindness, Chen will repay it in the future, and you can do what you want next."
Ma Baoer cupped his hands towards Chen Kan and said, "I wish you success!"
The young chief of the Baiyi clan had a complicated expression. Speaking of which, the only ones who were really hurt this time were the Baiyi clan.
But it was an outsider who helped them regain their place.
It's not that he's being pretentious, it's just that he instinctively feels that in the days to come, the days when their chieftain's house was domineering will probably be gone forever.
But no matter what, he saw Chen Kan's performance. It was a fact that those people targeted Chen Kan, but it was also a fact that they massacred the people in Wangyue Village.
Chen Kan killed the perpetrator of violence with his own hands, and he had to accept this feeling.
He cupped his hands towards Chen Kan and said, "Your Majesty, you are very polite. Please consider your own safety before you leave."
Maggie didn't speak, just patted Tiger King's big head, looking at Chen Kan with a pair of gentle eyes that made Chen Kan feel uncomfortable.
"Ouch~"
The Tiger King shook his head dissatisfied.
"Chen is going!"
Chen Kan flew away amidst the roar of the Tiger King. He took away the sadness of Wangyue Village and the girl's heart.
Maggie looked at Chen Kanyuan's retreating back, her eyes turning from gentle to sad.
This Han official changed her understanding of the Han people again and again.
According to her father and brother, all Han officials were cunning, and she thought so at first.
Until she met a different official, he was brave, fearless, fair...
A girl's worries are not enough to be discussed with outsiders.
Chen Kan would never know that there was a woman in Yunnan who was devastated by his departure.
...
...
Deep in an unknown mountain, Buddha was brewing a juice with an extremely unpleasant taste.
A thick, green liquid that smells disgusting.
This is a liquid extracted from a certain plant, and it is also his exclusive secret recipe for treating malaria.
From the collection of medicinal materials, to extraction, to cooking, Fozi never relied on others, and the entire process was completed by himself.
This kind of life-saving thing, Buddha didn't want to reveal its formula.
If Chen Kan were here, he would definitely be able to identify which plant the boiling liquid in the pot comes from.
Artemisia annua, commonly known as Artemisia annua among the people, contains artemisinin, the biggest nemesis of malaria parasites.
This is the biggest reason why Buddha dares to take the remaining White Lotus followers into the depths of the mountains and forests.
Of course, it is definitely impossible to cure malaria with the medicinal materials cooked in this way.
With large groups of people entering the mountains, this method cannot be popularized.
But for prevention purposes only, this primitive herbal medicine is enough when the number of people is small and they can move quickly through the mountains and forests.
Buddha used a huge wooden stick to stir the thick juice a few times, then stretched out his fingers to dip a little and put it into his mouth.
Then he extinguished the fire, waited for the liquid to cool down, filled a cup with a bamboo cup and handed it to the saint: "Drink it!"
The saint took the cup without changing her expression and drank it in one gulp.
In the past few days, Fozi had subjected her to many cruel and inhumane tortures, and she no longer cared about just a cup of unknown medicinal liquid.
Because she knew that once she dared to disobey him, Fozi would use even more cruel methods.
Seeing that the saint had finished her drink obediently, Buddha filled another glass, came to the side of the girl whose hands were bound, reached out and pinched her chin open and forced it into the girl's mouth.
The girl was caught off guard and choked on her trachea. She couldn't stop coughing, causing tears and runny nose to flow from her coughing.
But Fuzi didn't care about this. After the girl calmed down a little, he took out a black pill the size of a fingernail from his arms.
Seeing the pill, the woman's face showed a look of great fear, and her eyes were full of fear, as if she recalled some memory that frightened her.
She gritted her teeth desperately, but how could she, a woman with no strength, be Fozi's opponent? Fozi just pinched her cheek gently, and the woman's mouth opened uncontrollably. open.
Fozi flicked his finger, and the elixir entered the girl's mouth.
"Woooooooo..."
Two lines of clear tears flowed down the corners of the girl's eyes. After a while, the girl's eyes became blurred.
Buddha said impatiently: "I don't know what is good or bad, but this is a top-grade bliss elixir that ordinary people are not even qualified to touch."
After saying that, regardless of the blurred-eyed girl, she walked up to the saint, grabbed her hair and burrowed into the grass beside her.
After a moment, Buddha's voice rang out from the grass: "Bitch, I asked you to
