On the way back, I didn't intentionally let Sanfu speed up. It was even more anxious than me and ran almost flying. If I hadn't held the reins tightly and squeezed the horse's body, I would have been thrown out. But it was better for it to be like this. I was worried that something might happen. I was wondering why Bailu and Yunwen got up so early in the morning and stopped talking when they saw me.
Logically speaking, the rescue of Yingchun still depends on me. After all, I made the plan, and I am also the one with the most rescue experience. Since they want to leave me aside and talk about the rescue alone, it is very abnormal in itself. Besides, Song Bailu is usually very nice, but the Song sisters are selfish in their bones. Song Bailu is more tactful, but she is also the kind of person who will not give up until she achieves her goal.
She wanted to use her body to negotiate with me last night, but the conversation was not pleasant. In the morning, she went to find Yunwen again. I have to say there is something fishy about this, but some things cannot be explained openly. Even if I go to Bailu to argue with her, she may deny it. I have already talked to Yunwen before, and she obviously wants to conceal the content of the conversation.
Therefore, I can only suffer in silence, there is no other way. This is where the situation is irreversible. Yunwen has been bewitched by Bailu, and I can't persuade her.
The dog days are rarely so agitated, which makes me feel that unexpected situations will happen.
Soon, I arrived at the city gate. The gate was locked, so I knocked on the doorknob, dong dong dong, several times in a row, but I didn't hear anyone opening the door. Usually, Yunwen would have come to open the door by this time. To make sure that I was not overthinking, I knocked a few more times, but unfortunately, there was still no movement from inside.
The city gates were closed and there was silence inside, which made me think of something more terrifying!
No, I have to get into the castle quickly. I can't just sit there and wait, otherwise if what I expected really happens, it will be too late. So I sat on the dragon horse again, thinking about how before Sanfu, in order to save Yunwen, it collided with a bison that was charging at full speed and killed it. At that time, it was only two meters tall at the shoulder and was still smaller, but it had such strength.
It is now almost two meters and three meters tall, almost catching up with the shoulder height of some kinds of elephants. With such a huge size, and the fact that the Dragon Soul Scales have been taking effect on it for several months, its strength must be increasing. Although the city gate is closed, it is only the bolt that is embedded, which may not be able to stop the dragon horse.
"Sanfu, if you are afraid that something might happen to Yunwen, just use all your strength to break the door open so that I can go in and find her." I said.
When Sanfu heard it, he saw its right front leg scraping the ground twice, raising a cloud of dust. Then it rushed forward at full speed, its double dragon horns pushing forward, and with a bang, it directly knocked open the city gate. The huge door bolt burst, and the huge city gate was almost removed, and it slammed heavily on the wall at the city gate with a bang.
The force of this collision was fierce and steady, and indeed contained some of the dragon's domineering power!
Rushing into the park, I looked around and paid attention to any sounds, but I really didn't notice any movement. The knocking sound could definitely be heard inside the castle, there was no doubt about that, but it didn't make sense to hear it and not open the door. So I didn't enter the castle immediately, but ran to the backyard to check, wondering if everyone was in the backyard and didn't hear the sound.
But the potatoes in the backyard have been watered, but no one is there. Looking around like this will definitely cause trouble. I have to stay calm.
In order to eliminate the possibility of danger as soon as possible, I hurried to the entrance to the underground cave. The city gate was closed just now, so they couldn't go out. And since they were not outside and couldn't hear me knocking on the door, it was very likely that they went down to the underground river area, and this was exactly what I was worried about.
I walked down the stairs and vaguely heard a sound. It was a girl's voice. I breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the two of them might be discussing something or fetching water or something like that. So I wanted to go downstairs to find them, but the more I listened, the more something seemed wrong. It seemed like only one person was talking, and she was talking to herself. In order not to alert the enemy, I decided to listen first.
"What should I do? If Zhou Bo comes back later, how should I tell him that we were just curious and went for a visit, but were captured by hyena people? No, no, no, this won't work. If Zhou Bo asks me why I wasn't captured, how should I answer? This doesn't make sense. Besides, Zhou Bo is such a smart person, he can read micro-expressions. I can't fool him, and it might only backfire!" Bai Lu muttered to herself.
I was devastated when I heard this. So Yunwen had been captured by the hyenas! So she was really the only one down there. It was just as I thought. It was Song Bailu who was cheating me again. I got angrier and angrier, but I thought that if I went down to vent my anger now, nothing would be solved. So I decided to wait for her to finish her words and learn more about the situation before dealing with it.
"It's obviously not possible to lie to him, but to be honest, I'm really afraid that he will really give up on Yingchun and me. After all, it was me who asked Yunwen to accompany me to the hyena black market. But who could have thought that we would be caught just by taking the wood carvings made by Yingchun to inquire about things from the hyena guards. Who could have thought of this? After all, they are there to maintain market order. How could they be so confused about public and private? Even if they are, we have also bought a lot of other expensive things. They should also give us some face. It's really worrying!" Song Bailu was still muttering, and her voice sounded very frustrated.
Having said that, I basically understood what was going on. It turned out that it was Song Bailu who instigated Yunwen to do some foolish things, which led to Yunwen being captured. At the same time, I also admire her stupidity.
I went down immediately and came to the underground river. I saw Song Bailu sitting on the steps, looking at me with horror.
"How can I say good things to you? Those hyena guards might be the ones who are going to capture Yingchun. They might be in cahoots with that vendor. You brought Yingchun's works to ask them to help find them. How do you think they should deal with you? Did they really tell you the location of the den for those little things so that you could find it immediately? I told you not to act on your own, but you are sick and even deaf, right? Do you understand that you should take a long-term view, you idiot!" I cursed angrily.
"Brother Zhou Bo, when did you come? Did you hear everything just now?" Bai Lu looked embarrassed and looked at me pitifully.
"What? Didn't you hear me? Do you want to make up another excuse to lie to me?" I shouted.
She shook her head and said quickly, "I don't dare, I don't dare! How dare I lie to you, Brother Zhou Bo!"
"Song Bailu, you are so good. You want to harm Yunwen again and again. Do you have evil intentions? Have you done this all along so that I will only listen to you in the future? I was wondering why you were so impatient during the dog days. You have to be impatient. How can you not be impatient when someone has such bad intentions to harm its master? Do you know how much Yunwen has suffered because of your illness? How can you be so mean!" I scolded.
"No, I didn't expect things to be like this. I really didn't mean it. I was almost caught just now. Fortunately, my eyes let me escape. Brother Zhou Bo, please believe me, I really didn't want to harm Yunwen. I just wanted to save Yingchun. Because Yunwen and I both realized that you might not really want to save Yingchun, so I came up with this idea. While you are not around, I will get the information out of you, and I will also think of a way to try other methods on my own." Bai Lu said.
"Have you tried it? Does this method work?" I asked coldly.
Bai Lu was so scared that she didn't dare to speak. Her face turned pale and she shook her head.
"You're not doubting that I'm not sincere in saving Yingchun, are you? Okay, from today on, I will never care about your sisters' affairs again. After I rescue Yunwen, I will never have anything to do with you again. You take my kindness for granted, you're a bunch of ungrateful wolves!" I yelled angrily.
After saying that, I was about to leave with my sword in hand, but at this moment, I heard a vomiting sound behind me. Turning back, I saw Bai Lu retching out a mouthful of blood, his face very pale. This vomiting of blood made me sigh continuously, and the anger in my heart was also dispelled a lot, after all, the other party was a sick and weak person.
"I'm sorry! I was wrong. Let's think of a way to rescue them both, okay? After this is over, you can punish me and make me angry, okay? Please!" Song Bailu said, pulling my trouser leg.
