Two people came up, untied Zhao Hao from the pillar, and tied Zhao Hao's hands tightly.
Then, one of them immediately picked him up by the waist.
When they came outside, they put Zhao Hao in a carriage. Three of them got into the carriage to guard it, while one of them drove the car and headed south quickly.
Zhao Hao fell in the carriage with his legs and feet tied.
The carriage was going at a very fast speed and he was shaken all over, almost getting drunk out of it with all the wine he drank last night.
However, his mind did not stop working rapidly.
"This dilapidated temple is the Zhenwu Temple, because there is a statue of the Heavenly Master next to it, if I remember correctly..."
“This should be South City.”
"Now, these people should be heading south, planning to leave the Imperial Capital from the south of the city."
"As for the woman in red, she should know Brother Wu Er."
“That tone…”
"He should be very familiar with Brother Wu Er."
"Although she just handed me over to these people, she is likely to inform Brother Wu Er of the news."
"Of course, this is the best possible outcome."
"It's possible that I'm just overthinking it."
“So, you still have to save yourself.”
"We can't put our hopes on waiting for someone else to rescue us."
"You bunch of bastards, don't let me escape, or you will be in trouble sooner or later."
Zhao Hao secretly got angry, it was so fucking humiliating, a member of the gang had ended up being kidnapped for no apparent reason.
If this were to enter a large group of time-travelers, I would definitely be ridiculed to death.
But who can be blamed for this?
I can only blame myself.
Because of his second-generation identity, because of his relationship with the princess, and the royal empress.
It made him feel that there was absolutely no need to take those security measures.
With the help of a master like Wu Song, who was always protecting him, he felt that he didn't need to do too much.
Now it seems that it is this kind of mentality that gives the bad guys an opportunity to take advantage of.
Ordinarily.
Having been attacked by criminals many times before, I should have been alert a long time ago.
But I still didn't take it to heart.
At this point, he deserves it!
"hiss--"
The carriage jolted violently, and when it fell, Zhao Hao's entire face came into close contact with the hard carriage board. He grimaced in pain and gasped.
The car ran for nearly an hour and then stopped.
There were also bursts of lively conversation coming from all around.
His mouth was blocked with a cloth, so he couldn't call for help.
The noise outside died down and the carriage accelerated again.
However, this time it was much better than before because it was no longer as bumpy as before.
It should be the official road.
In this way, the carriage ran madly for who knows how long.
About six hours, or maybe eight hours.
Finally we left the official road and started shaking violently again.
For several hours, Zhao Hao didn't say anything except groaning, and the three people next to him didn't say a word either.
After an unknown amount of time, the carriage finally stopped.
It seemed like he had changed horses, and after that he was on the road again.
By the time the carriage stopped again, it was completely dark.
The middle-aged man in the lead said, "Give us some food and some water, but don't give us too much."
The two people next to him agreed, and one of them helped Zhao Hao sit up and took off the black bag on his head.
It was pitch black in front of Zhao Hao's eyes. Even though they were very close, Zhao Hao could not see where the three people were.
Can only perceive.
Just then, another person lit a lantern and hung it on the carriage.
With the help of the dim light, Zhao Hao was able to see the situation in the car. The three people were still wearing their previous attire and still had cloaks on their heads.
One of them took out half a palm-sized piece of dry food and handed it to Zhao Hao's mouth.
Zhao Hao didn't show any pretense. He opened his mouth, bit it, and then started chewing hard.
It was just a small piece of dry food, and he ate it all in two bites.
The other party then took out another bamboo tube, opened the stopper, and put it to Zhao Hao's mouth.
Zhao Hao quickly raised his head and tried to borrow it with his mouth, but the other party just poured a small sip into his mouth and then took the bamboo tube back.
Zhao Hao hurriedly said: "Friend, give me another bite!"
Under the bamboo hat, the man smiled softly, then shook his head and said, "Please forgive me, sir, this is our rule."
Zhao Hao's mouth was dry, so he took a deep breath and said, "My friend should have seen that Zhao is very sensible and will not run away. Give me another sip of water."
The man groaned for a moment and said, "You have indeed performed well along the way. Well, I will do my best to let you have another sip!"
As he spoke, he handed the bamboo tube to him again. Zhao Hao quickly opened his mouth and raised his head.
The man poured another sip of water into his mouth and immediately put the bamboo tube back.
This amount of water was so little that Zhao Hao simply didn't swallow it. He just pursed his lips and it was gone.
After letting out a long breath, Zhao Hao turned over and lay on his other side.
The other side had been completely numb for a long time, and now that I had switched to the other side, I immediately felt much more comfortable.
After taking a few breaths, Zhao Hao looked at the two of them and said weakly, "Who are these two friends? Can you tell me about them?"
"I really can't figure out which deity I have offended."
Another man had already left the carriage after lighting the lantern.
The man who was feeding Zhao Hao water said, "Sir, please don't ask. Now is not the right time."
"When the time comes, the Lord will know!"
Zhao Hao followed suit, nodded, and said, "Okay, if that's the case, then I won't ask any more questions."
The other party is right, we will know it sooner or later.
The other party kidnapped him, so there is no way he would not show up and put forward his own conditions.
Thinking of this, he simply stopped talking and closed his eyes to rest.
…
At this moment, the entire Imperial Capital City was in chaos because of Zhao Hao's sudden disappearance.
Empress Jiang Wan'er was furious. She not only ordered all the staff of the Supreme Court to go out, but also ordered them to find Zhao Hao as soon as possible.
He even dispatched the Imperial Guards to join in the search.
As a result, the news of Zhao Hao's disappearance quickly spread throughout the city.
Inside the Pepper Room, Jiang Wan'er was sitting on a chair with a grim look on her face. In front of her stood the Left Prime Minister Lü Liuliang, the Internal Secretary Zhao Wenxiang, Prince Kang, and Princess Yongning, whose eyes were red and swollen from crying.
Jiang Wan'er slammed the desk with such force that a pile of memorials on the desk fell to the ground.
"It's already this late, and there's still no news. What are the Imperial Court and the Imperial Guards doing?"
"A dignified duke was kidnapped quietly in his own home. This is simply outrageous!"
"Didn't a woman named Hongye report the incident and provide definite clues?"
"We still can't find the murderer, they are all a bunch of rubbish!"
