Chapter 44 A leisurely life of being kidnapped
Meanwhile, a team sent by Gu Lingyu also found out something.
"General Gu, I heard that many women have gone missing in the nearby villages recently." A soldier reported.
"Have you reported it to the authorities?"
"I have, but the county magistrate only said that they are investigating, and there is no news so far."
"What? Any other clues?" Gu Lingyu couldn't help but frown. What does the county magistrate of this place do?
"...I heard from the families of those missing women that they all came to treat their illnesses, and then they disappeared." The soldier paused and said.
Gu Lingyu took a deep breath. It seems that Doctor Chen has a big problem, but the county magistrate doesn't care?
"Go and bring the county magistrate here to me!" Gu Lingyu said coldly.
"Yes!" The two men retreated after receiving the order.
"General Gu! A tunnel was found in the room!" The people searching in the yard shouted excitedly.
"!" Gu Lingyu hurriedly led people to the room.
In the clean and tidy room, a bed was moved away, and there was a tunnel underneath.
"Go down and take a look." Gu Lingyu led a few people down.
The tunnel could accommodate two people, and it was very dark inside. Gu Lingyu turned on the fire starter, and the few people walked for a quarter of an hour before they saw the light again.
In front of them was an empty area with mountains and water, and the road was rugged. From the outside, it looked like a paradise.
A young man was looking around, as if he was looking for something.
This man was Xie You.
"Why are you here?" Gu Lingyu stepped forward and asked unhappily.
"I found the secret passage in the yard and came in." Xie You shrugged.
"Are there other secret passages?" Gu Lingyu frowned. "
Of course, and there should be three or four, but they all lead to here in the end." Xie You nodded.
"Have you found the Regent?" Gu Lingyu asked hurriedly.
Xie You's face was not very good when he heard it, and he shook his head, "No, there are many mountains in this place. It is certain that there are bandits here, but it is a bit difficult to find their lair."
"And this place is easy to defend and difficult to attack. I am afraid that you will not get anything good if you rush in."
"Then just sit there and wait for death?" Gu Lingyu was unhappy.
Xie You did not reply, and went up the mountain alone.
He found that Gu Lingyu was not reliable at all, so he decided to find it himself.
Gu Lingyu wanted to catch up, but a soldier came to report: "General Gu, the county magistrate is here."
Gu Lingyu shook his sleeves and could only watch Xie You disappear in front of him.
"You two follow Xie You, and everyone else follow me." Gu Lingyu waved his hand and led the people back to the yard.
Before Gu Lingyu came out of the room, he heard a sound like a pig being slaughtered.
"Who are you? You are so bold, do you know who I am?"
"Let me go! My cousin is the eldest princess of the dynasty!"
"Let me go, otherwise I will not let you go, just wait for me!"
"Your cousin is the eldest princess?" Gu Lingyu became interested, and he didn't hear Li Jinchen and the others say that he had a cousin.
"Who are you?" The county magistrate asked while struggling at the handsome man in front of him.
"Unfortunately, I am the current emperor's good friend, Gu Lingyu." Gu Lingyu chuckled. The county magistrate in front of him was as fat as a pig, and his whole body was shaking, which was quite funny.
Gu Lingyu didn't believe that the county magistrate had not embezzled money.
After interrogation, he found out that the county magistrate and the princess did have a slight relationship, but it was all a matter of ancestors, and the county magistrate, who was like a pig, had almost nothing to do with them.
In this way, Gu Lingyu was relieved.
"What is your relationship with Gu Miao and General Gu?" The county magistrate asked with his eyes rolling when he heard that his surname was Gu.
"That's my father." Gu Lingyu raised his head and said.
Upon hearing this, the county magistrate immediately changed his expression and said with a flattering smile: "Are you the recently appointed General Gu?"
"Yes!"
"Nice to meet you, nice to meet you. I'm sorry to have come to welcome you." The county magistrate saluted.
He also wanted to go to the capital to be a high official one day, so he would naturally try to please anyone from the capital. But
Gu Lingyu didn't fall for it. With a "swish", he drew out his sword and put it against his neck.
"Don't try to get close to me. The Regent King has disappeared from your place. If anything happens to him, you will be in trouble." Gu Lingyu glared at him and said coldly.
"You...what did you say? Regent...Regent King? Why is he here?" The county magistrate fell to the ground in fear, his whole body trembling.
"Is this something you should be concerned about?" Gu Lingyu sneered.
"No, it's not, but the Regent...he..." The county magistrate suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and wiped his forehead with his sleeve.
"Tell me what you know, or I will kill you first and then report it!" Gu Lingyu threatened the county magistrate. The county magistrate had never seen such a situation before and nodded repeatedly.
"I say, I say, please spare my life." The county magistrate knelt on the ground and said with tears and snot.
Gu Lingyu kicked him away in disgust, "Stay away from me, tell me!"
"Yes, yes, there is a bandit's den here, they pay a lot of money to the county every year, I just turn a blind eye." The county magistrate quickly let go of Gu Lingyu, crying and laughing to please Gu Lingyu, it was quite funny.
"Pay to the county? I think they pay to you?" Gu Lingyu said bluntly.
The county magistrate smiled awkwardly, "They may have arrested the Regent by mistake, I will send someone to let them release the Regent as soon as possible."
"Are they responsible for the disappearance of women in the nearby villages?" Gu Lingyu glared at the county magistrate, slammed the table, and the table broke into pieces in an instant.
The county magistrate took a few steps back in fear, "No, I don't know. I haven't seen them for a long time."
"Do you know where their lair is?"
"I don't know." The county magistrate shook his head like a wave drum. Those bandits really wanted to kill him.
"Waste! How come you don't know anything?" Gu Lingyu shouted angrily.
"General Gu, please spare my life. I really don't know." The county commander kept kowtowing.
Gu Lingyu waved his hand impatiently: "Go to the county to mobilize people, and follow me to find the regent."
"Yes, yes, yes." The county commander got up tremblingly and ran out with his farts and urine flowing.
At this time, the two soldiers sent to follow Xie You came back.
"General Gu, we lost Master Xie."
Gu Lingyu frowned: "A bunch of useless things!"
"Wait for the county commander to bring people and then go up the mountain together."
Gu Lingyu ordered impatiently.
Xie Anci's body is not well yet, and he didn't bring his Yilan sword. I don't know how he was doing in the bandit's lair? The more
Gu Lingyu thought about it, the more irritated he became.
At this moment, Xie Anci was lying on a recliner and enjoying Cao Da's service.
"It's quite cold today. How about the fur? Is it still cold?" Cao Da looked at Xie Anci with joy.
"Much better. Haven't the custom clothes for me been made yet?" Xie Anci drank a sip of tea leisurely. The environment in the mountains was quite good, but it was a little colder than outside.
He was tied up when he came here wearing his inner clothes before. He was used to wearing silk and satin, so he couldn't wear a coarse cloth short coat at all.
Seeing that he had a rash on his body, Cao Da quickly asked someone to buy satin and make a set for Xie Anci.
"It's almost done. It will be ready tomorrow." Cao Da said with a smile.
