Chapter 76 Almost Withered
Wei Mingzhen was speechless for a moment.
He found it difficult to describe his feelings at the moment. He was too busy to do anything else. He hoped that Pei Jing could find Jiang Rufei, but many questions kept popping up in his mind.
Why was Pei Jing so concerned about her? Jiang Rufei had told him it was all a misunderstanding. Was it really just a misunderstanding? Between them...
But the more I think about it, the more I feel that I am not a gentleman. I am still struggling with these issues at this time.
He bowed to Pei Jing and said, "Your Highness, I would like to thank you for your generous help."
Pei Jing's expression froze, and at this moment his face turned completely cold. He whipped his whip and rushed into the alley. Duan Jiu quickly followed with his men.
"What is the identity of Wei Mingzhen that brings him to thank me?"
The answer was so heartbreaking that Duan Jiu could only add in his heart that he was her fiancé.
Pei Jing continued, "Not to mention that they haven't gotten married yet, even if they did, I can make sure everything goes to waste."
Several more light cavalrymen came rushing over to join them. The leader immediately said, "We've searched everywhere we could. Someone saw her being dragged onto a carriage, but it was abandoned in an alley. It must have been moved."
Pei Jing pulled the reins and said, "The city has been searched thoroughly. I'm afraid the people have already been taken out of the city."
Duan Jiu quickly asked, "What is the prince's plan?"
Pei Jing stroked the reins, "Go out of the city and look for him. Seal the city gates, don't let even a fly escape. If the palace asks about this, just say that the king was assassinated and the whole city must hunt down the assassin."
After a cup of tea, the city gate was as bright as day.
Seeing that the visitor was King Zhaoning, the captain of the city gate opened the city gate without saying a word and watched a large group of people holding torches leave the city.
…
Jiang Fei woke up.
There was a suffocating darkness before her eyes. The rough linen was pressed against her face, and most of the hot air she exhaled was blown back by the linen, making it difficult for her to breathe.
Jiang Fei tried to move, but her wrists and ankles were tied, and the hemp ropes hurt when she struggled.
Jiang Fei tried hard to calm her pounding heart and listened carefully to the noise outside.
The carriage was getting bumpier and bumpier, and the stones that rolled over it hurt my shoulders.
The sound of wheels was mixed with the sound of horse hooves. There were at least four or five horses, so it seemed that there were quite a few robbers.
The sound of horse hooves was dull, not as crisp as the sound of horses stepping on the bluestone road. It seemed that she had been transported out of the capital, but it was unknown how far she had gone and who had kidnapped her.
She tried calling the system, but there was no response.
Fear surged up uncontrollably, and Jiang Fei could only bite the tip of her tongue to calm herself down and review how she ended up here.
At that time, she and Jiutao went to buy ice cream. She stood behind Jiutao, and then someone patted her left shoulder. When she looked back, a hand reached out from her right and covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief.
Jiang Fei never expected that the other party was so bold that he would dare to do such a thing in public.
But if you think about it carefully, it is understandable. The streets are crowded with people enjoying the summer heat, with the sounds of hawking and playing mixed together. Who would notice a fleeting hijacking on the street corner?
She remained conscious for three or four seconds, and subconsciously struggled and kicked with her legs, but soon she lost her strength, even her tongue was numb, and she was carried powerlessly to the alley by an arm.
Blurred, she only saw a simple carriage parked in the alley, and then she completely lost consciousness.
The carriage continued to move forward. Jiang Fei tried to break free, but the hemp rope was too tight. Every time she struggled, it rubbed against her flesh, causing her so much pain that she wanted to curse.
After a moment, the carriage suddenly stopped.
The curtain was roughly opened, and a stench of sweat mixed with alcohol hit her face. Jiang Fei immediately held her breath and pretended to be still unconscious.
"Still not awake?" a hoarse male voice muttered, "This drug is really strong."
Another person scoffed, "Of course not. The customer specifically told us that Miss Jiang is very cunning."
Jiang Fei felt dizzy and was carried onto someone's shoulders. After a while, she seemed to have entered a lighted room, and there was a faint light in front of her eyes through the sack.
Before I could figure out where I was, I was thrown onto the bed.
The man dropped the person off and walked out the door. There were a few people waiting outside, who took out some dry food and handed it to him.
The man took a bite and threw it on the ground. "What kind of dry food are you eating? Wait until the customer comes and pays the balance, then we can go into the city and eat delicious food!"
A companion beside him reminded, "The city gates are locked. Eating delicious food and drinking spicy drinks will only be tomorrow. Let's just make do with what we have now."
The man had no choice but to pick up the dry food, dust it off, and stuff it into his mouth, chewing it stiffly.
Not long after, the sound of horse hooves was heard in the distance. Everyone became alert instantly. When the sound of horse hooves got closer, they realized it was the customer Zhao Xingbang, and then they let go of the knives in their hands.
Zhao Xingbang fell off his horse, complaining quietly, "Why did you choose such a remote place? My butt hurts so much."
The leading man stepped forward and said, "This is safe. This is our place."
Zhao Xingbang looked at the simple house and said disdainfully, "After all, this is my good night, and it's just such a shabby place."
A man immediately laughed and said, "She's a virgin, and you're not, sir. This place is different, and it feels different, right?"
"My brother can't speak, please bear with me." The leading man said quickly, "He's inside, please come in."
Zhao Xingbang snorted, took a few steps, turned back and asked in a low voice: "You didn't expose me, did you?"
"Of course not. He's still dizzy."
"That's fine," Zhao Xingbang nodded with satisfaction, went into the room and closed the door.
This room is really simple. There is only a wooden bed with a quilt on it, and there is not even a tent. The wooden bed looks flimsy and I am afraid it will collapse after a few shakes, which would be really disappointing.
Zhao Xingbang looked at the person lying on the bed. Her figure was slender and graceful, and her waist was so thin that it seemed like it would break if pinched. The only flaw was that there was a sack on her head, but he didn't dare to take it off. It would be bad if she woke up while they were doing it.
He had been thinking about this beauty for a long time, and finally she fell into his hands.
Zhao Xingbang rubbed his hands, walked to the bed impatiently, and reached out to untie Jiang Fei's belt.
Just as his hand touched the belt, a voice suddenly rang out in the room.
"Zhao Xingbang."
The sound of calling his name almost made Zhao Xingbang collapse.
How was he awake? How did she know he was the one who did it? Did someone outside expose him?
Zhao Xingbang withdrew his hand as if he had been electrocuted, but then he thought, isn't this just acknowledging that it was him?
So he decided to go all out and reached out again.
"Don't think I won't know it's you just because you don't say anything. I can smell your stench from two miles away."
Zhao Xingbang was completely defeated now.
He lifted the sack off Jiang Fei's head and asked, "How did you know it was me?"
The sudden light made Jiang Fei squint her eyes, and then she saw Zhao Xingbang's disgusting face.
"Didn't I tell you that I smell the stench on you?"
