Chapter 42 Entering the Bandits' Lair
As expected, Xie You searched the back mountain but didn't see a single person.
When he returned to the courtyard, he saw Gu Lingyu and a few others with sullen faces. Zuo Sikong beside him was sweating and wiping his sweat with a handkerchief.
"Where is the Regent? Where is the doctor? General Gu, I have to say that if something happens to the Regent, it will be difficult to deal with." Zuo Sikong spoke bluntly, and Gu Lingyu frowned.
"He was still here when I left, but how come everyone disappeared in a short while?" Gu Lingyu was also puzzled, and at the same time had a bad premonition in his heart.
Gu Lingyu was sending people to look for him, and a black figure rushed towards him.
Before Gu Lingyu could react, someone grabbed her clothes by the front. She saw a handsome young man staring at her with anger on his face.
"Where is my adoptive father? I have looked for him several times but I can't find him." Xie You's eyes were red, and he looked like he wanted to eat someone.
"Who are you?" Gu Lingyu felt that the young man in front of him looked familiar. Was the adoptive father he was talking about Xie Anci?
"This is the adopted son of the Regent King, Xie You, Master Xie." Zuo Sikong explained.
Gu Lingyu glared at Zuo Sikong, but he just kept explaining without pulling him away. He had no sense at all.
Gu Lingyu shook off Xie You's hand, and then she remembered that Xie Anci had adopted an adopted son, but she didn't expect that he was already so old.
"Why are you here?" Gu Lingyu cleared his throat and asked unhappily.
"Why do you care about me? Finding my godfather is the most important thing." Xie You replied impatiently.
Gu Lingyu: "..."
This kid is really rude.
"Divide into two teams, one team will go to the village to ask if there is any other information, and the other team will look for it in this courtyard. We must find the Regent even if we have to dig three feet underground." Gu Lingyu gave the order.
"Yes." The two teams took the order and left.
"As for you, did you follow us secretly?" Gu Lingyu looked at Xie You.
Xie You snorted coldly, "No, I just passed by here and happened to see you guys here so I came to see you."
Gu Lingyu curled his lips, not quite believing it. When he found the Regent, he would hand this kid over to him for disposal.
Xie You was extremely anxious and had no mood to stay here, so he also started to look.
Xie Anci slept very deeply this time, and when he woke up again, he was in a dark woodshed.
"This is..." Xie Anci rubbed his temples. What was going on?
Why did he wake up in a different place every time?
Bang -
the door was kicked open from the outside, and the dazzling sunlight shone into the dark room. Xie Anci raised his hand to block the sunlight and squinted at the man in front of him.
The man was tall and rough, holding a big knife in his hand, and his voice was very loud.
There were several men following him, and the one that Xie Anci was most concerned about was Doctor Chen behind him.
Doctor Chen's face was pale, and he hid behind with his head down, looking guilty.
"Oh, how can you let these beautiful girls suffer this injustice? Take them away quickly." The man said, staring at Xie Anci.
Xie Anci then realized that he was surrounded by women, all of them with haggard faces and sobbing softly.
"Hey, boss, we won't be polite." The man behind him rubbed his hands, with a wretched face and walked towards the house with a greedy look.
"Chen Qian! You wolf-faced and beast-hearted guy! Get out of here! What's the point of hiding in the back!" A woman suddenly stood up and pointed at Doctor Chen with her hands on her hips and scolded him.
Xie Anci narrowed his eyes slightly, intending to see the situation first.
"I, I also had no choice, no choice." Chen Qian's face flushed, and he didn't know what to do after being scolded.
"You had to force us to come here? What kind of hell is this place? Let us out!" The woman rushed towards Chen Qian with an angry face.
Chen Qian was so scared that he quickly retreated and hid behind the boss.
"Everyone, be quiet!" The boss roared and dodged the woman. The woman stumbled and fell to the ground, staring at Chen Qian with anger.
Chen Qian turned his head away and dared not look at her.
"This is Dongfeng Village. I am Cao Da, the head of the village. Once you enter here, don't even think about getting out. The roads here are very difficult to walk on. You can't escape."
"Just stay here and be our wives. If we have food, you will have it too. Be obedient, or else..." Cao Da said as he raised his hand and cut the tree next to him into two pieces.
The women in the woodshed were trembling with fear, their faces pale.
They were all unmarried women. Were they going to be ruined alive by them?
The women were angry and scared, and they cried softly.
Xie Anci frowned. He had fallen into a den of bandits.
"Okay, stop crying. Isn't it better to serve us well than to stay outside? Take everyone away." Cao Da waved his hand, and the people behind him rushed forward.
Xie Anci quickly stood up and said coldly: "Stop! Let's see who dares to do it!"
Xie Anci was in pain all over, and his head was still dizzy, but he pretended to be calm.
"Hey, what's wrong with you, little beauty? Do you want to stop us?" Cao Da looked at Xie Anci with burning eyes.
Xie Anci did not retreat, and looked straight at Cao Da: "No, I just have some questions for the boss."
"What's the problem?" Seeing that Xie Anci had an extraordinary temperament and her beautiful face was full of tenacity, Cao Da became more patient.
"Why don't we talk alone?" Xie Anci's eyes flickered, and the teardrop mole at the end of his eye made him look more gentle, and everyone present breathed slower.
Xie Anci naturally knew how to use his advantage, with his cherry lips slightly pursed, and his phoenix eyes looked at everyone.
"Well, good! Let's go to my room!" Cao Da pulled Xie Anci and was about to leave.
Xie Anci turned around and said coldly: "Lock up these women first, and don't touch them without orders."
"Ah?" The other men were confused. Did the duck in their mouths just fly away like that?
"What? Just do as he says." Cao Da said unhappily, he still wanted to go back and be alone with the beauty.
"No, big brother, he's a man! Don't be fooled by him." A man next to him reminded him quickly.
"What? I don't know? Only you have good eyesight? Get lost..." Cao Da pulled Xie Anci back to his room.
The people who stayed behind looked at each other and could only lock up the women first.
The women were also confused. What was going on?
They escaped the disaster for the time being, but what about next?
"Who is that young man? Why haven't I seen him before?" A teenage girl asked in a low voice.
"I haven't seen him either. He might have just passed by." The woman who had just scolded Chen Qian replied, "I hope he can live and be safe."
The women who were captured all lived in nearby villages and most of them knew each other.
