Chapter 435 Where is Xiao Ancheng?

The weather was cold and windy, mixed with a little moisture.

Cen Yueyi leaned against the wheel of the carriage, the cold wind blowing on her face, and her consciousness became clearer.

But Cen Yueyi was obviously frightened, her face was pale, and her voice was hoarse from being too nervous: "...Xingxing, are you okay?"

Xing Xing was using a handkerchief to carefully wipe off the little bit of drug on her fingertips. Upon hearing this, she turned around and smiled at Cen Yueyi. Her fair face was framed by a silver fox collar. Although she was still young, she was still startlingly beautiful.

She spoke slowly and calmly, even in the strong wind, "Don't worry, Sister Cen, I'm fine. The drugs I gave them will normally keep them from waking up tomorrow."

At this point, Xing Xing fell into deep thought again, muttering to herself, "Wait, what if there's a gifted person inside who faints for a while and then wakes up?"

Cen Yueyi was about to say something, but Xingxing had already hit her head and came up with a solution - she untied the two maids and asked them to work with her to untie the belts of the robbers and tie their hands behind their backs tightly.

With the combination of drugs and tying him up, it's totally safe.

Xingxing started searching for the injured among the servants.

She didn't bring her medicine bag with her, so she could only take out the emergency medicine from the sachet she carried with her and treat their wounds as best she could.

After doing all this, Xingxing told the maids to take good care of Cen Yueyi and the injured. She wrapped herself in her cloak and went to the official road.

Perhaps it was God's blessing, because not long after, Xingxing saw a long convoy of cars coming from the official road.

Xing Xing's eyes lit up and she went forward to meet him.

The captain of the guard at the head of the caravan was startled when he saw a little girl blocking the road in the cold wind. His face changed and he raised his hand to stop the team from moving forward.

This kind of situation has happened in the past. Some bandits would put the elderly, the weak, women and children on the roadside as "bait" to attract the attention of the people, and then intercept the goods when they were not paying attention.

However, this situation basically occurs in some dangerous mountainous areas.

Aren’t we almost reaching the capital now?

and……

The captain of the caravan guard looked up and down at the little girl in front of him.

The silver fox cloak he was wearing looked inconspicuous, but it was actually better than the best leather their caravan had obtained this time.

Look at the little girl's appearance...

The captain of the caravan guard literally hissed and took a breath of cool air.

If this is the "bait" made by those who intercepted the road, then the investment is too high, right?

But before the captain of the guards could say anything, a horse galloped up from behind. The woman riding the horse was heroic and had beautiful eyes and eyebrows. She asked the captain of the guards, "Why did you stop so suddenly?"

The captain of the guards awkwardly gestured to the woman to look ahead: "...Boss, there's a child blocking the way."

The woman took a closer look and suddenly exclaimed "Huh!" She got off her horse and walked forward, calling out, "Xingxing?"

When Xing Xing saw the woman, her eyes widened slightly, and she also came forward and asked in surprise, "Sister Gong?"

The woman was Gong Qingniang. She was wearing a green riding suit, with her hair tied up high, and she looked very heroic.

Gong Qingniang looked behind Xingxing and saw that there was no one else on the long official road except Xingxing. She took a deep breath and pinched Xingxing's cheek: "Where are your family members? They let a little girl like you come out by yourself?"

As soon as she said this, Gong Qingniang knew that this was not the case. She was confused and asked, "...but what happened?"

Xing Xing nodded her head repeatedly and told Gong Qingniang about their previous encounter. Finally, she said, "...Sister Gong, could you please help us report to the police?"

Gong Qingniang was an extremely intelligent girl. Although Xingxing did not say anything else except describing the danger she encountered, she reacted immediately - if someone dared to rob people near the official road in the suburbs of Beijing, it must not be a simple robbery!

Gong Qingniang immediately held Xingxing's hand, her face solemn, and instructed the captain of the caravan's guard: "First, send someone on a fast horse to Shuntian Prefecture to report to the authorities."

The captain of the guard immediately pointed to someone and asked him to do it.

"Pick out ten people with good skills, and then get a carriage, and let them follow me." Gong Qingniang ordered again.

The captain of the caravan guard was stunned, but since his boss had the final say, he quickly got the matter done.

Gong Qingniang held Xingxing's hand and said, "Don't worry, Xingxing. I'll bring someone to accompany you there."

"...Sister Gong, you still have something to do..."

"It's nothing. I'm here to escort this batch of goods to Beijing. We've already reached the gate of Beijing. I think there's no risk." Gong Qingniang pinched Xingxing's little face again. "Look at your delicate face. It's almost wrinkled by the wind. I feel so sorry for it."

Xingxing was a little embarrassed.

Gong Qingniang was a decisive person. She made the decision with a wave of her hand without waiting for Xingxing to refuse.

Xingxing brought Gong Qingniang, and Gong Qingniang brought ten skilled guards, to the place where Xingxing and the others had been ambushed.

Xingxing was fully drugged, and she tied up the bandits tightly with her maid. Gong Qingniang's people came over and after a careful inspection, they found out that all these were done by Xingxing, the little girl wearing a silver fox cape, and they all showed extremely shocked expressions.

It would be easier with more people. Gong Qingniang's people helped carry all the injured people from Xingxing's group onto the carriage, and drove the carriage back to the capital for treatment.

"Why don't you and Miss Cen take a ride back first?" Gong Qingniang discussed with Xingxing, "I have already asked someone to report to the authorities. When the authorities take them back to the yamen for questioning, I think there will be a result soon."

The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and it was about to snow heavily.

Xing Xing said "wait a minute" and walked up to the unconscious scarred man: "...I have always felt that this man looks familiar, but I have never seen him before...Just now I suddenly remembered that his nose and mouth are the same as Xiao Ancheng's."

Gong Qingniang was a little confused. Who was Xiao Ancheng?

However, these questions were not important at the moment, so Gong Qingniang did not ask any questions. She saw Xingxing take out a bag of medicinal powder that could relax the muscles and bones from her arms and poured some into Scarface's mouth. Then she took the water bag and poured some water on Scarface's face to wake him up.

Scarface was awakened and saw the situation. It was obvious to him that they had capsized in a ditch.

He said in a rough voice: "You can kill me or behead me, it's up to you!"

Xing Xing asked: "Who hired you?"

Scarface had a cold look in his eyes and said nothing.

Xing Xing said, "We have already reported it to the police. If you don't tell me now, you have to tell me even in jail."

Scarface still had a cold expression on his face and said nothing.

The wind was getting stronger, and Xing Xing didn't want to waste time with Scarface anymore, so she asked directly, "So, where is Xiao Ancheng?"

Scarface finally stopped being as he was before, and a look of shock flashed across his face.

"How do you know—"

He spoke halfway in a gruff voice and stopped talking.
