Chapter 309 Beast
The injured maid sobbed, "I was attacked as soon as I entered the room. There were three people hiding in the room. One of them came to tie me up. The other two fought with the lady. But they were very skilled in martial arts. The lady was knocked unconscious by them and put into a sack and taken away."
Zhou Chunyu was heartbroken when he heard this: "She's hurt, she's hurt!"
Chi Yan walked in quickly.
Gu Huan said anxiously, "Hurry up and tell me."
Akabane turned around and said, "Bring it up."
A man tied up was thrown in.
This person is the gatekeeper of Zhou's house.
Chi Yan said in a cold voice: "He let the thieves in while everyone was going to the palace to pick up the bride. He also led the thieves to hide in the bridal chamber."
Zhou Chunyu was furious. He grabbed his neck and shouted with red eyes: "I treated you well, why are you like this? Tell me now!"
Mu Junyan grabbed his hand and said, "Interrogate him carefully, don't kill him."
He turned around and asked Chi Yan: "Have you tracked it down?"
Chi Yan nodded: "I have ordered the city gates to be sealed, and I have checked each city gate. There will be news back soon."
The man almost suffocated. Zhou Chunyu let go of his hand and kicked him hard in the stomach.
He was hit in the ribs and let out a scream, shaking all over.
It hurts, but I can’t die.
Gu Huan asked anxiously: "Why don't you tell me now! You are also an old man in Prince Yong's Mansion, why did you betray Manager Zhou and cause Zhilan to be kidnapped!"
The man didn't care about the pain and cried, "I was forced to do this. My whole family was captured by them. If I didn't obey, they would all die. I am the only son, and my parents are old. They can't bear the punishment."
Gu Huan was startled and looked at Mu Junyan.
Mu Junyan immediately ordered the generals around him: "Immediately order the elite cavalry to divide into three teams and pursue along the three routes of southern Xinjiang. Don't miss any clues."
The general clasped his fists and said, "Yes!"
After exiting from the south gate of Juzhou, there are three directions leading to the three countries in southern Xinjiang.
Upon hearing this, Gu Huan thought, could it be that someone was impersonating the Dali Kingdom and doing this?
Half an hour later, the scouts sent back news.
It was confirmed that a group of people quietly left the city through the tunnel and headed straight for Dali.
Gu Huan was shocked: "Tunnel? How can there be a tunnel?"
The scout replied, "It was a tunnel built by Yifengtang that was discovered in Jiaofangsi after Zhuohua was captured. We sealed it at that time, and I don't know when it was opened again."
Gu Huan suddenly felt a chill down her spine. It turned out that the enemy had done so much in secret.
If we can kidnap Zhou Zhilan today, wouldn’t it be easy to kidnap others?
Mu Junyan's face was gloomy.
Zhou Chunyu has regained consciousness. Although he is extremely anxious, he is still calm.
He frowned, "Even if the tunnel is opened, with the spies of our Mu Family Army Scout Battalion and the defense of the city garrison, they may not succeed. But why did they take this risk just to capture Zhilan?"
“That’s what I’m thinking about.”
"Your Majesty, there is a letter sent by carrier pigeon."
The guard came in holding a carrier pigeon.
Mu Junyan took the thin roll of paper, unfolded it, took a look at it, and handed it to Gu Huan.
Gu Huan frowned: "Xuan Xuan said that Duan Yu did not send anyone to kidnap anyone, that's strange."
Zhou Chunyu clasped his fists and said, "Master, no matter what, I will go and rescue Zhilan myself."
Gu Huan: "Where are you going to save them? If it wasn't Duan Yu who did it, we wouldn't know where they are hidden."
Zhou Chunyu burst into tears: "I can't just wait like this!"
Gu Huan gritted her teeth: "I'll go."
Mu Junyan held her back: "Where are you going?"
"I asked Duan Yu to send someone to look for it. After all, it's their place, he can't just ignore it!"
Gu Huan was about to leave after saying this.
Mu Junyan grabbed her arm: "What if their target is not Zhou Zhilan?"
Zhou Chunyu's face turned pale: "Yes, my lord is right. The princess cannot go."
"You all should be patient. The elite cavalry has already set out. They are faster than you."
Chi Yan continued, "I have also sent out orders to the scouts of Dali and several other countries to conduct a secret investigation. Don't worry, we will have news back in a little while."
Everyone had to wait anxiously.
It was not until the sky brightened that news came back from all sides.
The team that secretly left and fled to Dali was caught up by the elite cavalry, but Zhou Zhilan was not found.
Zhou Chunyu had almost pulled out all his hair, and he stood up and ran out.
Gu Huan had already changed into riding clothes, and seeing this, she ran after him.
Seeing this, Mu Junyan followed closely.
The three of them quickly mounted their horses and rushed towards the south city gate, and Chiyu Chiyan and several other guards followed closely.
Unexpectedly, not long after the group of people rode out of the South City Gate on horseback, Gu Huan, who was left behind, suddenly saw a pile of red and green things under a big tree not far away.
He was startled and immediately screamed, "Look to the west."
After saying that, she rode her horse towards that direction.
Her voice was carried away by the wind and the people in front could not hear it.
Mu Junyan noticed from the corner of his eye that Gu Huan changed direction, and heard the guards behind him calling "Princess", so he quickly turned his horse around and followed Gu Huan.
Zhou Chunyu also stopped his horse and saw the pile of colors.
It was exactly the color of the wedding dress Zhou Zhilan was wearing.
He felt a chill in his heart and immediately turned his horse around and followed.
Gu Huan jumped off the horse and started crying as she stumbled over.
Zhou Zhilan's wedding dress was embroidered piece by piece by herself, so how could she not recognize it?
Gu Huan pounced over and picked up the person curled up on the ground. The pale face was exactly Zhou Zhilan.
"elder sister!"
Gu Huan hurriedly helped her hold up her dress and burst into tears.
Zhou Zhilan was not wearing a wedding dress. Instead, she was stripped naked and the wedding dress was just covering her body.
She had lost consciousness, but the marks on her body and the blood beneath her body made it clear that something terrible had happened.
Gu Huan wrapped her in clothes, hugged her tightly and cried loudly.
Mu Junyan got off the horse, his eyes were bloodshot, his fists were clenched, and he was furious.
Zhou Chunyu hadn't seen what happened yet, but when he heard Gu Huan's heart-wrenching cry, he was so scared that he lost his soul.
He rolled off the horse and crawled over. A bruised hand was exposed through his clothes. He looked like he was struck by lightning.
He just felt a black screen before his eyes and the world was spinning.
My throat seemed to be strangled by an invisible hand. I couldn't make any sound and tears flowed uncontrollably.
He stretched out his trembling hand, gently grasped the exposed, cold wrist, and touched her pulse with trembling fingers.
"She's not dead."
Hearing this, Gu Huan quickly stopped crying and said, "Take my sister back home quickly."
Zhou Chunyu suppressed his grief and held Zhou Zhilan, who was wrapped in her wedding dress, in his arms.
Akabane and the others helped him mount the horse, and they hurried back to the city.
Shen Li and Doctor Shen were busy for more than an hour before they left the room.
Gu Huan asked anxiously: "How?"
Chen Li's face was as gloomy as water: "Most of them are skin injuries, just a pair of thigh fractures, and..."
She looked up at the group of men and seemed to want to say something but stopped herself.
Zhou Chunyu's suppressed but desperate crying like a trapped beast could be heard from the room.
Gu Huan's heart tightened.
He pulled Shen Li aside and asked in a low voice, "How serious is it?"
The usually indifferent Chen Li was furious, gritting his teeth and saying, "Sister Zhilan was violated, and her thigh and pelvis were fractured. She has lost too much blood, and it will be difficult for her to stand up. This is not the worst, but..."
She was choking with sobs and couldn't continue.
Gu Huan was stunned.
Infringed?
What kind of torture did Sister Zhilan suffer!
Bastards, these beasts, she will never let them go!
