Chapter 75: Encountered robbers outside the city
Li Suining and Caiyue walked back and forth on the way to the palace for a whole day, but they didn't find anyone who looked like their third brother, not even a person in a wheelchair.
In the evening, the little girl could only go back dejectedly, "Strange, why is there no such road?"
"Miss Qi, who are you looking for?" Even though Caiyue was slow-witted, she understood that the young master seemed to be looking for someone.
The little dumpling shook his head and did not answer.
After she returned to Qinxin Garden, she wanted to visit her younger brothers and sisters, but she heard Bai Yunfeng and Wei Ranzhu talking at the door.
"Am I seeing things?" Bai Yunfeng's voice was filled with doubt. "But... that figure from behind really looks like the third brother, also dressed in black..."
"Well, if the third child has returned to the imperial city, how could he not come home?" Wei Ranzhu sighed softly, "Ever since his leg was broken, this child has always felt like a burden and stays away from us, as if he's afraid of getting us into trouble."
Bai Yunfeng was also very helpless. "I'm just worried that this child will be stubborn and refuse to go home even after returning. Then I, as a father, will be a complete failure."
Li Suining widened her eyes in shock. Instead of going in, she returned to her room.
Recalling the conversation between her parents just now, she vaguely guessed that her father had also seen her third brother... She thought of something and her eyes lit up instantly.
The eldest brother, the fifth brother, the sixth brother, and daddy all saw someone who looked like the third brother, which means that the third brother must have returned!
Little Tuanzi was very happy when he thought of this. Moreover, his third brother must have missed them, so he went to see them secretly.
Yes, Third Brother will definitely visit everyone...so who’s next?
Li Suining instantly thought of her fourth brother who was stationed outside the city. She had a vague feeling that her third brother would definitely go to see her fourth brother next.
So, after dark, she immediately asked Xingxing, "Xingxing, Xingxing, if I go out of town to look for my fourth brother tomorrow, will I meet my third brother?"
She stared at the sky with her big eyes without blinking, and sure enough, she soon saw a person who looked like her third brother, but... who was the person opposite her third brother?
Li Suining didn't have time to think too much. Anyway, she would definitely meet her third brother when she left the city tomorrow. That was enough.
She must bring her third brother back to reunite with everyone.
Little Dumpling thought so and went to sleep with full confidence.
The next day, after breakfast, Li Suining went to beg Caiyue, "Sister Caiyue, can you take me to find my fourth brother?"
"Looking for the Fourth Young Master? Going to the military camp?" Cai Yue frowned, "Seventh Miss, if you want to look for the Fourth Young Master, go tell the general. He can take you there."
"No, no." She wanted to give her family a surprise, so she couldn't go out of town with her father.
Little Tuanzi hugged Caiyue's arm, tilted his head back and begged, "Sister Caiyue, can you take me with you? We won't go into the military camp, we can just see Fourth Brother from afar, okay?"
"But..." Caiyue was a little confused, "But the general will not object to what Miss Seven said to him."
"No." Li Suining squeezed out tears, "I just want Sister Caiyue to take me there, just to take a look from a distance. It won't bother Daddy, and it won't distract Fourth Brother. Okay?"
She pursed her lips and looked like she was about to cry. "Sister Caiyue, I will be obedient. Just take me there, okay?"
Caiyue couldn't stand this kind of attack and quickly gave in. She nodded repeatedly and agreed, "Okay, okay, Miss Qi, I'll take you there, I'll take you there."
She went to the stable to get the horse, and then carried the little girl on board. The master and servant left the general's mansion and headed straight for the military camp outside the city.
The place where the Bai family army camped was some distance away from the imperial city. It was located in a desolate area at the foot of a mountain and was basically sparsely populated.
Li Suining and Caiyue happily left the city gate. After all, they seldom went out, so they were both in a good mood.
Li Suining, in particular, was extremely happy at the thought that she would be able to see her third brother soon.
However, no one expected that the master and servant would encounter robbers before they even reached the military camp. Moreover, there were only two of them, and they had no weapons in their hands. They did not look like ordinary bandits.
Caiyue regretted her decision and held Li Suining tightly in her arms. "Who are you? The one in my arms is the Seventh Young Lady of the General's Mansion. We don't have much money on us. If you have any sense, get out of the way immediately!"
Little Tuanzi was also a little scared. Yesterday she only knew that she would meet her third brother, but she didn't notice that there were robbers.
She couldn't help but wonder, could it be that her third brother was also captured by the robbers?
"We want the Seventh Young Lady of the General's Mansion!" the other party said in a loud voice. "Don't worry, we won't kill anyone. You'd better surrender obediently to avoid physical pain."
"How dare you!" Caiyue took out the sword at her waist and said, "Go into the city and ask around. Our General Bai loves Miss Seven very much. If you capture her, you will regret it later!"
The two opponents looked at each other, obviously not wanting to waste any more time, and rushed up together.
Caiyue’s martial arts skills were not bad, but she was carrying a little kid after all, and the two opponents were almost as skilled as her.
Soon, she was defeated and captured by two men.
"What on earth do you want to do? No matter what you want, don't hurt Miss Seven!" Caiyue shouted anxiously.
"Sister Caiyue, don't worry, we will be fine." Li Suining said in a crying voice.
She was a little scared, but she felt that she would be fine, so she forgot to cry for a moment.
Seeing how strong the little girl was, Caiyue couldn't help but admire her. "Seventh Miss, you are worthy of being a lady from the General's Mansion. You haven't brought shame to our General's Mansion!"
"Okay, stop talking nonsense." One of the men said, then blocked Caiyue's mouth and blindfolded her.
Li Suining looked pitifully at the man beside him, "I...I won't speak...Can you...don't stuff my mouth."
"Okay!" The man actually agreed, and even when he blindfolded her, he was obviously very careful and didn't want to hurt her.
Soon, Li Suining could not see anything. She felt herself being carried onto a horse, and then the horse galloped wildly, as if heading towards the mountain.
After an unknown amount of time, the horse stopped and she felt herself being carried off the horse and thrown into a room.
It was not until this moment that Li Suining understood what was going on.
She heard the door open and close, probably because the person who had kidnapped her had left. She tentatively called out, "Is anyone there? Sister Caiyue?"
Little Dumpling waited quietly for a while, but didn't hear any response. It was obvious that she was locked up in a room alone.
She was not afraid at all and waited quietly for the door to be opened again.
