Chapter 229: Endless Variety
The young man named Yuan Gu was very talkative and really treated Deng Youning as an old friend and benefactor.
He even told Deng Youning about his parents, who were high-ranking officials in Yuncheng, his family situation, and several other people in his family.
"You don't have to thank me too much. As long as you escaped disciples can live a stable life in the future, it will be worth my efforts to seize the Valley Master's Order."
"Since you're back, why don't we go in and take a look together."
“I haven’t been back for a year.”
Faced with such an enthusiastic junior brother, Deng Youning didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Senior sister, you have become more beautiful in the past year? Where have you been in this year?"
Yuan Gu started asking questions again.
At first, he really didn't dare to recognize Deng Youning.
After leaving Wanshe Valley for a year, Deng Youning has changed tremendously.
He couldn't believe that the skinny girl who had been locked up in the basement and tortured by the Valley Master could grow up to be so beautiful.
Yuan Gu returned to his wealthy family this year and met many beautiful women in Yuncheng, but he felt that none of them was as beautiful as Deng Youning.
"Hey, are these three your friends?"
"Hello!"
After noticing Li Tianzhuo and the other two, he did not forget to greet them warmly.
This child seems to be too lively and cheerful.
The Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes was still the same. There were not many disciples left here, and the few who remained were there on a voluntary basis to guard the library for Deng Youning.
Everyone was very happy when they saw the new valley master Deng Youning coming back.
If Deng Youning hadn't saved them, they would still be living a life where they were treated like human beings by the Valley Master.
Deng Youning returned to the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes this time to look for more books on detoxification in the library, so that she could use them to deal with the leader of the Blood Moon Cult in the future.
After she entered the library, Li Tianzhuo followed her in, but when he reached the door, he was stopped by Yuan Gu, "Only disciples of our valley are allowed to enter the library."
Li Tianzhuo:? ?!
Deng Youning: …
"Junior Brother Yuan, the current Ten Thousand Snake Valley is completely different from the past. You don't have to follow the rules of the past."
"Azhuo, come in and help me find those books."
Deng Youning personally called him in.
Li Tianzhuo was very proud and raised his eyebrows at Yuan Gu as if he was declaring his sovereignty.
"Your senior sister has let me in, why don't you get out of the way?"
Yuan Gu had no choice but to leave with a pout.
Seeing Xiu Ming and Ying Shi following them, she stepped forward and asked, "What is the relationship between that man and Senior Sister? They seem to know each other very well! Before in the Ten Thousand Snake Valley, Senior Sister didn't have any friends."
He is young and very talkative.
Xiu Ming didn't have a very good impression of this person, so he said directly: "Since you call her Senior Sister, then you have to call us Senior Brother-in-law too!"
"Brother...husband...?"
When Yuan Gu heard this word, he looked disappointed.
Xiu Ming and Ying Shi frowned, not quite understanding why he was lost.
But he really did leave on his own, as if he had lost his soul.
After Deng Youning and Li Tianzhuo found the book they were looking for, they left Wanshe Valley. Thinking that they had to return to the General's Mansion before dark, they did not stay long.
As for Yuan Gu, they seemed to have completely forgotten about this person.
When they returned to the general's mansion, it was already dark.
The house was brightly lit and noisy, as if something had happened.
The four of them looked at each other and hurried back.
As soon as the door was opened, the servant in the mansion cried and reported: "Everyone, it's bad, it seems that the king is missing!"
Four people:!
Deng Youning's eyes widened in shock, and she tried hard to calm herself down.
"Let's go ask my cousin and great uncle first."
*
General's Mansion, meeting room.
Everyone gathered.
"Granduncle, uncle, cousin, cousin, what happened?"
As soon as Deng Youning entered the room, she saw the sad faces of everyone and felt that the situation was indeed urgent.
Han Xian blamed himself, "It's all my fault. It's all my fault for being so kind. Ning Ning, Tian Zhuo, I'm sorry for you."
There was a tearful tone in his voice, and he kept slapping himself while speaking.
The general situation is that this morning, Han Xian met a poor woman on the street. She said she had no way to make a living and wanted to find a job.
It just so happened that most of the servants in the mansion were men. Han Xian felt that it would be very inconvenient for Deng Youning to move in, so he went to the human traffickers to trade for a group of female slaves.
Including the women on the street, they were all brought into the mansion.
Who knew that the man actually came to rescue the king.
She was very capable and in less than half a day, she kidnapped the King.
"What?!"
"Did you go looking for it?"
Deng Youning also asked anxiously.
"I looked for it, but didn't find it."
Han Laoer sighed helplessly.
"You are such a troublemaker, you bring everyone to your house!"
General Han scolded Han Xian again in a rage.
"Uncle, don't be angry. My cousin has good intentions."
Deng Yan'an hurriedly comforted him and paved the way for Han Xian.
He knew very well that along the way, whether it was the Blood Moon Cult or Emperor Nan Xin, they would come up with endless ways to kill or save people who looked like the king.
It's not Han Xian's fault for the momentary oversight.
Deng Youning remained calm and faced it all calmly.
"Ningning, don't worry too much. We have already sent people to look for her all over the city."
Deng Yan'an was also helpless about this.
"From what you said, it should be that woman who disguised herself to enter the palace and found the right time to rescue the king."
"Has there been any movement at the front and back gates today? Have you asked the gatekeepers if they saw anyone suspicious leaving the house?"
Deng Youning analyzed carefully and asked.
Several people didn't notice this.
After learning that the king was missing, they immediately sent people to search the city for him. As for other people, they did not consider them at all.
"Xiuming, Yingshi, go to the front and back doors and get the list of all the people who left the house today."
Deng Youning commanded the two to take action.
After a few minutes, the two returned with the record book.
Deng Youning also asked Han Xian to look carefully and found that the woman was not found. Even the people who left the house were those who would go out normally.
For example, the purchasing cook and so on.
Unless that woman and the king used the disguise technique of Beixuan country, otherwise, it would be impossible for them to sneak out of the mansion!
Deng Youning narrowed his eyes and made a bold guess.
"I suspect they are still in the mansion!"
"Granduncle, second cousin, after you moved in, did you know if there are any secret rooms or secret passages in this house?"
"If there is a secret passage, it will be troublesome and it will be difficult for us to chase it."
Deng Youning frowned nervously.
The nerves of others were also extremely tense.
Her question really stumped the Han family. They were not sure whether there was a secret room or secret passage.
I didn't check it thoroughly when I moved in.
"Forget it, quickly mobilize everyone and go look for him together!" General Han ordered.
"Wait a minute, we need to leave more people guarding the gate to prevent them from escaping during the chaos," Deng Youning added.
Everyone took action.
Guarding, patrolling, and searching, everyone has a clear division of labor.
