Chapter 248 Your Father Wants You to Die
The bride did not relax because of Yu Youning's words. Instead, she looked at Yu Youning and the others with great vigilance.
In the bride's view, Yu Youning and the others had just been talking and laughing with Village Chief Chen, and they were obviously also children of bandits.
How can the child of a bandit be a good person?
Coming here at this time must mean bad things!
"What do you want to do?" The bride looked at Yu Youning and the others warily, "Don't come over here. The dagger in my hand has no eyes."
She was willing to get married just now, just to delay time and see if someone would come to rescue her.
But until now, the reinforcements have not arrived yet.
She held the dagger in her hand, not to kill anyone, but just to preserve her innocence.
What she didn't expect was that the first person to arrive was not the bandit who wanted to kidnap the bride, but a few children.
Yu Youning tilted her head, knowing that the bride must have misunderstood her, and explained in a baby voice, "Pretty sister, don't be afraid, we are really here to save you! The bandits have been almost wiped out now. If you don't believe me, you can follow us out and see for yourself! We'll go out first, and you can follow us out later!"
After saying that, Yu Youning pulled Chu Huaixu out, and Huo Qingchen and Jiang Lingzhou hurriedly followed.
Seeing them leave, the bride looked hesitant.
Could it be that what Yu Youning said was true?
But why were they talking and laughing with the bandits before?
Although she felt strange, the bride didn't want to die like this if she could survive.
After hesitating for a long time, she stood up, holding the dagger tightly in her hand, and walked slowly outside step by step.
The closer you get to the door, the more you smell a foul odor.
The smell made her feel sick, so she could only cover her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, but she did not forget to hold the dagger tightly with her other hand.
There was no one in the yard.
No one knows where the people who were left outside to guard have gone.
The bride walked out of the yard carefully, and saw that there was no one outside the yard!
I clearly saw a lot of people in this village before, how come they have all disappeared now?
Could it be true that just as the little girl said, everyone has been arrested?
But why didn't she hear any fighting?
It is not an easy task to arrest so many people. How did they do it?
The bride was still looking around in confusion when she suddenly heard the familiar voice again.
"Beautiful sister, I didn't lie to you, did I? Those people have really been dealt with!"
The bride turned around when she heard the voice and saw Yu Youning's delicate and beautiful smiling face, which was still full of smiles.
Seeing Yu Youning like this, the bride believed her words, but she was still a little curious, "Why are you here? You were talking and laughing with the bandits here before..."
"We came here last night. We were resting in the wild when we ran into people from this village. They tricked us into coming here, and only after we got here did we realize this was a bandit's lair. We were chatting and laughing with the bandits before, of course, to paralyze them! Otherwise, how could we have dealt with them quietly?"
After hearing this, the bride was finally relieved. "You guys are really amazing! You were able to take care of these bandits quietly."
Yu Youning's face flushed red. "It wasn't so quiet, it was mainly because they were all poisoned!"
The bride's eyes were still full of admiration. "That's amazing! In this kind of thing, we only look at the results, not the process."
"Right, right, right!" Yu Youning nodded his head repeatedly. "My master also said, it doesn't matter if the cat is black or white, as long as it can catch mice, it's a good cat!"
The moment she heard this, the bride covered her mouth and laughed.
But after a moment, she nodded in agreement, "Your master is right!"
"Pretty sister, you look so pretty when you smile! Where is your home? We're leaving soon, so let's take you back!"
"My name is Fu Wan'er, and my father is Governor Fu. Today was supposed to be my wedding day, but unexpectedly, a group of bandits suddenly appeared, hijacked the wedding procession, and brought me here. My father should have heard the news by now, and he might be here soon."
Yu Youning was not optimistic.
"The mountain road is difficult to travel, and this place is very secretive. Your father may not be able to find you. Don't wait any longer. Come with us and we'll take you back!"
Of course, Fu Wan'er didn't dare to stay here alone, so after hearing Yu Youning's words, she nodded quickly and said, "Thank you!"
"You're welcome, this is what we should do!"
While they were chatting, Yu Tingwan also walked over here.
After seeing Fu Wan'er, Yu Tingwan nodded slightly as a greeting.
Afterwards, Yu Tingwan looked at Yu Youning, "Youning, we can go now."
"Mother, let's send Sister Fu home! Her family hasn't come yet!"
Yu Tingwan readily agreed, "Okay! Miss Fu, let's go!"
Fu Wan'er took a deep breath and followed.
After exiting the alley and circling onto the main road of the village, Fu Wan'er discovered that there was already a team of carriages and horses here.
At the end of the team, there was a group of people tied up with ropes.
These people were all tied up tightly, with even their mouths wrapped with cloth several times, so they couldn't say a word.
None of this is the most important thing.
The most important thing is that these people constantly emit a foul odor, which is so bad that people can hardly open their eyes.
Most of the people looked painful, with their heads slightly lowered and their bodies shaking constantly.
But there were also two people who held their heads high.
One of them is Village Chief Chen.
Village Chief Chen looked towards Fu Wan'er, his eyes bloodshot and fierce, and he struggled hard.
It looked like he wanted to pounce directly at Fu Wan'er and fight her to the death.
Fu Wan'er was frightened at first.
But when she was sure that no matter how Village Chief Chen struggled, he could not break free from the restraints, Fu Wan'er breathed a sigh of relief and her expression was not as frightened as before.
"Why did you tie them up and take them away?" Fu Wan'er asked in confusion.
Shouldn't such people be killed directly?
Seeing the confusion and bewilderment on Fu Wan'er's face, Yu Tingwan smiled and explained, "These bandits must have committed many evil deeds. If we hand them over to the authorities for interrogation, we might be able to uncover some other information."
Fu Wan'er nodded, her face thoughtful.
After a moment, Fu Wan'er spoke again, "I have something I want to ask that person, is that okay?"
The person she was referring to was Village Chief Chen.
Yu Tingwan nodded happily, "Of course."
Before Yu Tingwan finished speaking, Wen Shiyan had already walked to the side of Village Chief Chen and removed the cloth from his mouth.
Village Chief Chen can speak now.
But what was strange was that Village Chief Chen just stared at Fu Wan'er without saying a word.
Fu Wan'er was a little scared of him. She took several deep breaths before taking two steps towards Village Chief Chen and stopping. "Why are you trying to steal my bride? I don't even know you!"
He also wondered if this man was after her beauty, or if he was after her generous dowry.
But her identity is not ordinary, and her father will never let it go after getting the news.
If a man takes her away, there will be no peace in the future.
A person who turns a bandit's lair into a village to hide his identity shouldn't be so stupid.
Fu Wan'er stared at Village Chief Chen, waiting for his answer.
Village Chief Chen was also staring at Fu Wan'er. After a while, he suddenly laughed.
"Why would I kidnap you? Of course, someone asked me for help. Otherwise, do you really think that your beauty would make me disregard my own life and the lives of my brothers and kidnap you?"
Without waiting for Fu Wan'er to say anything, Village Chief Chen smiled again, "Have you ever thought about this? You are the daughter of the Governor after all. How could you be snatched away so easily? It's been so long since I snatched you away, why hasn't anyone come looking for you yet?"
Fu Wan'er was a smart person. When she heard these words, she already had a rough guess in her mind.
But she was unwilling to believe this conjecture anyway.
Fu Wan'er's face turned pale, but she shook her head firmly, "Impossible! You're talking nonsense!"
How could her father be in collusion with bandits?
How could she be kidnapped by bandits on her wedding day?
Village Chief Chen laughed heartily. "It seems you've figured it out. You're just as clever as your father said. Your father repeatedly warned me to be careful when talking to you, so you wouldn't see through my clues. But now that I've been captured by you, it doesn't matter anymore."
The guess in her heart was spoken out by Village Chief Chen himself, which made Fu Wan'er unable to accept it. She staggered back.
"Impossible! You're lying to me! How could my father be in cahoots with someone like you? You're talking complete nonsense! I'm going to take you back to see my father!"
"Go back?" Village Chief Chen's face was full of mockery. "You're still thinking about going back? Not only you, but everyone here right now, don't even think about leaving alive!"
As if to confirm what Village Chief Chen said, there was movement inside and outside the village just as he finished speaking.
Just by the sound, I knew that a group of people were coming towards this side.
These people were well-trained and their steps were steady. They seemed to be carrying a lot of other things, which made their footsteps sound even heavier.
Yu Youning tapped the ground with his toes, and his body suddenly flew into the air and landed steadily on the roof of the carriage.
But standing on the roof, it is still not high enough.
Yu Youning jumped up again and this time landed directly on the roof.
If you stand high enough, you can naturally see farther.
She clearly saw that there were indeed many people coming from outside the village, and these people surrounded the village.
Everyone held either a bow and arrow or a shield in their hands.
There was a wet cloth tied to the arrowhead.
Yu Youning, who had been on the battlefield, knew that there was not water on the cloth, but oil!
