Chapter 353 The Real and Fake Gu Xixi
The sun is setting, outside Xianguo Village.
A light golden Arabian horse came galloping over, the sweat oozing from its body making its fur shine.
Mu Nanzhao jumped off the horse before it could stand firm.
His face was so terribly gloomy that a village woman passing by was so scared that she picked up her crying child and ran away.
He Jinghui was waiting here in advance.
Mu Nanzhao stepped forward quickly, "Where are the people?!"
He Jinghui's eyes dodged, not daring to look directly at him, "...It's gone."
Mu Nanzhao's eyes narrowed, "Where is the maid beside her?"
He Jinghui: "Also... gone."
At this moment, Mu Nanzhao was like a black cloud that had accumulated a thunderstorm, and every word he spoke was a heavy pressure.
"What about your He family's secret guards?"
"We should at least see how the person disappeared and which direction he went!"
He Jinghui himself was about to regret it, saying, "Boss Gu left suddenly, and I thought he was going to the bathroom. I and the secret guards are all men, so it's not good for us to follow too closely."
"Plus, with the light beads accompanying them, they...didn't see anything."
Mu Nanzhao didn't say anything, just turned and left.
As brothers for many years, He Jinghui certainly understood that the more Mu Nanzhao behaved like this, the more it showed that he was very angry and really furious.
"Qi Xiu! I'll go with you to find someone!"
While riding on the horse, He Jinghui secretly swore that if anything happened to Boss Gu, he would sacrifice his life to pay the price.
Gu Xixi didn't have to come today, but he was the one who personally brought her to Xianguo Village.
Mu Nanzhao is his good brother who is as close to him as a family member, and he entrusted his beloved to him.
But he lost the person right in front of his own nose.
Not to mention that he couldn't explain to Mu Nanzhao, he couldn't even explain to his own sister!
Today, Gu Xixi arrived at Xianguo Village along with several officials from the Ministry of Revenue.
He instructed the villagers on how to prepare and spray medicine, and had lunch with meals sent by the nearby county government.
Everything was going well.
It was almost the end of the afternoon when Gu Xixi, who was checking insect eggs and wheat seedlings, suddenly stopped and said she wanted to leave for a while.
He Jinghui saw her hurriedly taking Guangzhu towards the grove, thinking that she had to go to the bathroom urgently.
But no matter how long we waited, the two men still didn't return.
Only then did he realize something was wrong.
I asked a local woman to go into the woods to look for him, but found nothing.
He Jinghui's head was about to explode.
He did not dare to delay even a moment, and immediately ordered someone to send a message to Mu Nanzhao by express horse. At the same time, he led everyone to search Xianguo Village and its surroundings thoroughly.
No one had even seen any trace of them.
Gu Xixi and Guangzhu seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth...
Night falls.
Gu Xixi sat on the ground with her back against a tree trunk, looking around with her eyes slightly open.
There was a bonfire about ten steps ahead, and the smell of barbecue could be smelled. Four men and one woman were sitting on the ground.
Looking to the left, there are two tents not far away.
It seems that after these kidnappers took the hostages, they planned to use this small ravine as a hiding place.
I just don’t know their intention for the kidnapping and what they want?
As soon as they smelled the scent of incense in the woods, Gu Xixi quickly put the pills given by the old doctor into her and Guangzhu's mouths. There was another unlucky guy next to them. Not long after, he fell down with a plop.
Gu Xixi looked at the unconscious Dou Rongshan and winked at Guangzhu, and the two of them fell down and pretended to faint.
She really couldn't imagine who she could have offended since she had just arrived in the capital.
Lord Fan?
Not likely.
With the cunning of this old fox, there is no crisis on Lu Jing's side yet, so he shouldn't leave Lu Jing alone and go and cause trouble for Gu Xixi first.
What's more, with the spies of the Fan family, they know that Gu Xixi is now living in the He Mansion, and it is easy for her to have a close relationship with Miss He, who often goes in and out of the mansion.
Even if they were sure that Gu Xixi was the one who helped Lu Jing go to Beijing to file a complaint, they would not have risked offending the He family in broad daylight. This was so arrogant and stupid.
It just so happened that she came out today fully prepared, so Gu Xixi decided to take advantage of the situation.
Rather than having my enemy in the dark, I will stay in the light and live in constant fear.
It would be better to take this opportunity to find out what is going on and eliminate the harm to the people.
After calculating the time, Gu Xixi determined that this place should not be far from Xianguo Village.
It was just dark, and I wasn't familiar with the road conditions.
Guangzhu ran out to seek help, and it was unknown how long it would take for him to come back.
The kidnapper beside the campfire cursed, "Damn it, I told you to buy incense, but you bought inferior goods because you were greedy for money?"
"The little girl was just brought over, but she broke free and ran away before we could tie her up."
"You little bitch are so strong! That elbow hit me so hard that my jaw almost fell off. It still hurts!"
The man next to him explained a few words timidly, and it seemed that the one who was cursing was the boss.
The only female kidnapper smiled and tried to persuade the boss to calm down. "She is so strong and dressed in ordinary clothes. She looks like a rough girl. Just run away. We don't want her anyway."
The kidnapper leader felt a little better. "Anyway, just wait a little longer, hand the person over to the employer, and we can get the money and leave."
Employer? Gu Xixi thought to herself.
What kind of employer comes here so anxiously in the middle of the night?
After eliminating a limited number of candidates on the way here, she vaguely thought of someone.
Maybe there will be some unexpected gains...
While using his brain, Gu Xixi was also busy.
The blade hidden in his hand had already cut the rope on her back, leaving only a piece of skin connected, which could be torn off with a little force.
At this time, Dou Rongsan, who was tied to the same tree trunk as Gu Xixi, woke up.
She had no idea what was going on and was horrified, "What kind of place is this!"
"Who! Who dares to play such a joke? Tie up your aunt! Let me go!"
Gu Xixi closed her eyes as if suffocating.
What a silly little fat sheep!
Although Dou Rongshan is the daughter of a military general and prefers to dress in men's clothes, she has been spoiled since childhood and has no knowledge of martial arts at all.
As a result, her figure is slightly plump, her face is like a silver plate, she has almond eyes, beautiful eyebrows, and plump lips.
Compared with the skinny look that is popular nowadays, it is a completely different kind of beauty.
Putting aside her prejudice, Gu Xixi actually likes this kind of chubby little beauty.
After all, she is fragrant and soft, and it is quite comfortable to lean on her.
Hearing Dou Rongshan's call, the female kidnapper came over and shouted, "Shut up! Who has time to joke with you!"
"If you yell again, I'll cut off your nose!"
Dou Rongsan was just as Gu Xixi had expected, strong on the outside but weak on the inside. She shrank back when frightened by the female kidnapper, her eyes red and she looked aggrieved, not daring to shout.
"I...I couldn't have really been kidnapped."
Gu Xixi looked even more confused than Dou Rongshan. She frowned and said weakly, "It doesn't seem like this is a joke."
The female kidnapper looked at the two of them and said, "Which of you came from the northwest last month? Your last name is Gu."
Dou Rongsan was so frightened that she tried to point her chin at Gu Xixi.
"It's her! Her name is Gu Xixi! She's from the northwest!"
Gu Xixi glanced at Dou Rongshan dimly, and was about to cry, "Sis said it was me, so it must be me."
"Anyway, my sister has come from afar and is a guest. When we encounter something like this, we should let as many people as possible escape."
"What did you call me?" Dou Rongsan had an expression that said, "What's wrong with you all of a sudden?"
The female kidnapper suddenly pointed at Dou Rongshan and said, "You are Gu Xixi? You actually want to play a trick on me!"
