The scholar in front of him looked thin, but gave people a strong sense of oppression.
The man swallowed and nodded.
"The Black Wind Village has too many people. We can't defeat them, so we can only come up with this method."
Jiang Li didn't say anything after hearing this. She glanced at Mo Xiaoxiao and asked her to untie the man.
"If we hadn't come, how would you have saved us?"
Mo Xiaoxiao was speechless as she untied the rope.
The man quickly untied the ropes that bound him and brushed off the dirt. "Who knew they'd become so smart? They never tied him up so tightly before."
As he spoke, the man quietly opened the door of the woodshed.
Sure enough, it was locked.
"Someone will bring us food tomorrow. Then, we'll kidnap the person and I'll go rescue him..."
Before he could finish his words, the man saw that the servant had gotten something from somewhere and fiddled with the door lock. The door lock opened with a "click".
The man almost dropped his jaw in shock.
"You...you guys!" The man's eyes were as big as copper bells.
"Shut up." Jiang Li said with a serious expression, "I'm going to check out the village. You guys stay here. If anyone comes, remember to cover up."
After saying that, Jiang Li disappeared.
The man pointed at Jiang Li's back and looked at Mo Xiaoxiao in disbelief, "He...he..."
Mo Xiaoxiao raised her hand and gestured "hush", then restored the lock to its original state and closed the wooden door again.
late at night.
Jiang Li followed the direction of the light.
Perhaps the eldest daughter of the Black Wind Village is getting married tomorrow, so everyone is extremely busy.
This also made it convenient for her to run back and forth, and she strolled around in a long circle without being discovered.
As soon as I walked to a quieter place, I heard a woman's shouting.
"You, yes, I'm talking about you, come here."
Jiang Li hid in the shadows, looking at a girl who looked like a maid standing outside a candlelit room.
"This is the cake that the young lady made for the uncle. Take it to the uncle and tell him to go to bed early."
"yes."
The little henchman who was called hurried forward to take the food box.
After the maid left, Jiang Li immediately followed the minion.
After turning left and right, the little urchin finally stopped at the gate of a yard.
"Uncle."
The little one called out.
No response.
Xiao Luoluo sighed, "Sir, I'm here to give you something. It's a cake made by the eldest lady herself."
"Sir, we're getting married tomorrow, so don't be so depressed."
"Actually, it's quite good for you to marry into the Black Wind Village. At least, our young lady is truly kind to you."
"Uncle..."
Before he could finish his words, the door opened.
Jiang Li leaned against the courtyard wall and heard someone say from inside, "Give it to me."
"Hey! That's right."
Xiao Luo Luo flattered: "Sir, you are good-looking. Our eldest daughter likes good-looking people."
"Don't worry, the young lady likes you, and we will all treat you well."
After saying that, Xiao Luo Luo said, "Then I will go back and report first. You should get some rest early, sir."
After Xiao Luoluo left, Jiang Li waited for a while. Seeing that no one came, he quickly slipped into the yard.
“Bang, bang, bang—”
There was a light knock on the door.
"Why are you..."
As soon as the person inside opened the door, he saw a figure rush into the room.
When he turned around and looked, he was shocked.
"Ah, Ari? Why are you here?"
Jiang Zhou’s mouth could now fit an egg.
Jiang Li shrugged, "I knew it was a mark you left."
When they were in the general's mansion before, Jiang Zhou often told Jiang Li about what happened on the battlefield, and also told him how they left hidden signals when they were marching ahead so that the large troops behind could catch up in time.
Along the way, Jiang Li kept looking at the traces along the way. When she reached Shangdong County, she finally saw some different marks appear.
Combined with what the people at the wonton stall said, Jiang Li quickly realized that this matter might be related to his second brother.
When she reached Black Wind Mountain, she became even more certain of this matter.
In particular, she found obvious military markings on the tree trunks at the bottom of the mountain.
"Second brother, didn't you go to Qinzhou to find me? Why did you come to Black Wind Village to be a son-in-law?"
Jiang Li opened the food box on the table. The pastries inside didn't look very good, but they smelled quite good.
After checking and finding that there was no drug in it, Jiang Li reached out, picked one up and stuffed it into his mouth.
It tastes good.
Jiang Zhou glanced at the yard before closing the door.
"I originally wanted to look for you, but...didn't I encounter an emergency?"
After listening to Jiang Zhou's story, Jiang Li realized that Jiang Zhou had fallen into a trap set by Black Wind Village while taking a shortcut in order to hurry to Qinzhou.
With Jiang Zhou's skills, it was not difficult for him to leave this place. However, when he was about to slip away, he suddenly found that the Black Wind Village had abducted a large group of children, and it was said that they were going to be sold somewhere else.
In order to rescue these children, Jiang Zhou had no choice but to retain his skills and stay.
"The boy locked in the woodshed told me."
Jiang Li took the tea handed to her by Jiang Zhou and drank it in one gulp. Her stomach felt much fuller and she felt much more comfortable.
"What?"
Jiang Zhou was shocked when he heard this, "You mean Xiaoshan? He hasn't left yet?"
"Xiaoshan went to Beijing to look for his relatives, but he passed by Black Wind Mountain and fell into a trap. The day after he was captured, I was also captured."
"Didn't I let him go first? This guy."
Jiang Zhou shook his head helplessly.
Jiang Li glanced at her second brother and smiled, "It seems that the guy named Xiaoshan is quite loyal and wants to help you save those children."
"But if you want to save the child, then save the child. Why do you want to marry into the family, second brother?"
Jiang Li looked at Jiang Zhou and asked, "Could it be that the eldest daughter of the Black Wind Village is truly a peerless beauty?"
Jiang Zhou pressed his eyebrows together, "You little girl, you actually tease me."
It's funny to say, Jiang Zhou was originally thinking about how to avoid everyone's attention and rescue those children successfully. Just when he slipped out to investigate the terrain of Black Wind Village, he happened to run into the eldest lady of Black Wind Village, Hei Feng.
The first time the Black Phoenix saw Jiang Zhou, it pointed at him and shouted.
At the beginning, the leader of the Black Wind Village, Da Hei Niu, saw that he was dressed like a young master from a wealthy family and wanted to take him as a hostage and let his family spend money to redeem him.
As a result, Hei Feng actually insisted on marrying him.
Da Hei Niu had no choice, after all, she was his own sister, so he had to spoil her.
He sent many people to talk to Jiang Zhou about this matter, but they were all rejected. Jiang Zhou even said that he would rather die than marry.
Hei Feng cried heart-breakingly.
Big Black Bull was so angry that he wanted to kill Jiang Zhou.
But through these days of dealing with things, Jiang Zhou discovered that there were many people in the Black Wind Village who were very skilled and had a large number of people. It would not be easy to rescue those children without anyone noticing.
Later, it was Xiaoshan who came up with the idea and asked him to pretend to agree to get married.
