Chapter 460, Clues
The one-eyed man had been observing Daohua and the other two. Seeing the changes in their expressions, he immediately understood the identities of Jiang Wanying and Chen Jiarou. He then looked at Daohua and Dong Yuanyao and asked, "Whose families are you two from?"
Daohua and Dong Yuanyao looked at the one-eyed man and did not answer immediately.
The bald man got angry when he saw them hesitating and raised his leg to hit the two of them.
When Daohua saw him, she immediately said, "I'm from the Ningmen Prefecture's prefectural family."
Dong Yuanyao glared at the bald man and said in a muffled voice, "I'm from the governor's family."
Hearing this, the one-eyed man immediately frowned.
Mr. Fan once said that one should not provoke local officials who have no vested interests involved, so as not to cause trouble for the master.
Thinking of this, the one-eyed man glared coldly at the bald man.
The bald man smiled ingratiatingly. He didn't expect that he could just tie up the daughter of the highest official in Zhongzhou and the highest official in Ningmen Mansion.
After knowing the identities of the four people, the one-eyed man stood up and went out. When he reached the door, he said to the guards, "Watch closely. Don't leave at all."
Just because of the calmness shown by the four girls when faced with difficulties, we should pay more attention.
Only after the bald man left did Daohua and the other three breathe a sigh of relief.
Although the four of them appeared calm and silent on the surface, they were actually extremely nervous and scared inside.
Especially Jiang Wanying, she had experienced an assassination attempt and knew that those villains would really kill.
At this moment, she was extremely regretful. She really shouldn't have gone out with her parents just to see Brother Yang.
Dong Yuanyao looked at Jiang Wanying and Chen Jiarou, and asked with a depressed look on his face: "Those people are coming for you. Do you know who they are?"
Chen Jiarou shook her head with a pale face.
Jiang Wanying bit her lip. She had some guesses in her mind, but she couldn't say them out loud.
These people should be the same group as those who assassinated her and her mother last time. They are the Eighth Prince's men.
Daohua looked at the expressions of Chen Jiarou and Jiang Wanying. Chen Jiarou really knew nothing, but Jiang Wanying knew something.
Thinking of the last assassination of the Jiang family, Daohua felt a pang in her heart. Could it be the same group of people?
Dong Yuanyao asked again, "Why did those people arrest you? You should know this, right?"
Chen Jiarou and Jiang Wanying remained silent.
Seeing this, Dong Yuanyao frowned and said angrily, "Yiyi and I are really unlucky."
Hearing this, Chen Jiarou and Jiang Wanying both lowered their heads.
The guard heard the four people talking and strode in. He rudely stuffed a piece of cloth into their mouths and said, "Shut up! You are no longer rich ladies in our hands. If you make any noise..."
The big man clenched his fists, making a 'crackling' sound, and said fiercely: "Don't blame me for not being gentle with women!" After saying that, he turned and walked out.
Daohua smelled the sweaty odor of the cloth in her mouth and the strong salty taste in her mouth, and she felt really nauseous and wanted to vomit.
The same was true for the other three.
However, even though the four of them felt extremely uncomfortable, they still endured it.
No one would test the kindness and patience of the desperadoes. If they really angered them, they would be the ones who would suffer.
Daohua consciously slowed down her breathing to alleviate the nausea in her heart. When she felt less uncomfortable, her mind started to work quickly, thinking about how to escape.
The ropes on my hands and feet were easy to untie, but after untying them, how could I escape from the boat?
There were too many people in the group, and each of them was tall and strong. Even if she had drugs, if she couldn't give them to all of them at once, they would have no chance of escaping.
"Uh-huh."
Just as Daohua was thinking of a countermeasure, Chen Jiarou began to twist her body. She stood up unsteadily, then passed her hands, which were tied behind her back, through her legs and placed them in front of her body. She then took the cloth ball out of her mouth with her hands, and then tore it with her teeth, untying the rope bit by bit.
Looking at this scene, Dong Yuanyao was full of admiration.
Although Daohua was also amazed at Chen Jiarou's body flexibility, she did not agree with her current behavior.
They were on the boat now. What would happen if they were untied? Could they escape? On the contrary, if they were discovered, it would only heighten the kidnappers' vigilance, making their escape even more difficult.
After Chen Jiarou was freed, she immediately went to untie Jiang Wanying.
Daohua whimpered at her several times, but unfortunately, she ignored him.
"Why"
Daohua sighed at Dong Yuanyao and gave her a look that suggested we might be implicated.
Soon, the rope on Jiang Wanying was untied, and Chen Jiarou went to untie Dong Yuanyao.
Daohua glanced at Chen Jiarou who had walked straight past her and was too lazy to pay attention to her. The rope had been untied anyway and she would be tied up again later.
As soon as the rope on Dong Yuanyao's hand was loosened, she turned sideways to help Daohua untie it.
Daohua whimpered a few more times before Dong Yuanyao took the cloth out of her mouth with a wry smile. As soon as her mouth was free, Daohua wanted to speak. However, at this moment, Jiang Wanying stood up too quickly and fell to the ground. The sound she made directly alarmed the guard.
Looking at his hands that had just been freed, Daohua showed a bitter smile on his face.
The big man came in and saw that the ropes on Daohua and the other three were untied. His brows immediately frowned. Just when Daohua thought they might suffer, the big man said nothing, walked over directly, and hit each of the four on the back of the neck.
In this regard, Daohua could only accept her fate and close her eyes.
After knocking out the four Daohuas, the guard smiled complacently, "Finally, I can have some peace and quiet."
At the same time, at the abandoned wharf on the outskirts of Ningmen Prefecture, Xiao Yeyang, Yan Wenkai, Dong Yuanxuan and others quickly boarded the boat and quickly chased in the direction pointed by Sun Changmao.
After an unknown amount of time, Daohua woke up from the severe pain of aftereffects. When she opened her eyes, she found that she, Dong Yuanyao and the other two were transferred into the carriage again. Because the carriage was shaking, she twisted her neck and woke up in pain.
Have they disembarked?
Daohua slowly sat up and then heard voices coming from outside.
"Brother Cao, we will be home in the afternoon."
"Um."
"Brother Cao, I just don't understand. Can catching a few girls help the master?"
"Heh~" the one-eyed man sneered, "Do you think the girls from wealthy families are the same as the girls from ordinary families like us? They are so precious."
The bald man rubbed his head and said, "What's so precious about it? It's just so-so to me. At most, it looks a little pretty, but pretty can't be eaten. I'll get tired of it after looking at it too much."
The one-eyed man shook his head and said, "What do you know, you reckless man?" He said with a heavier tone, "You must keep an eye on these four people, especially the girls from the Jiang and Chen families."
"The Jiang family has two queens, and their followers are everywhere in the court. If the Jiang family can speak for the master, then the chances of the master returning to the court will be greatly increased."
"The Chen family is the emperor's trusted confidant, in charge of the gold mines in Ningmen Prefecture. Now that his daughter is in our hands, how can he concentrate on mining the gold? If the gold mines cannot be returned to the national treasury in a timely manner, let's see how the emperor will solve the problem of food and wages for the war in the north."
After hearing this, Daohua instantly confirmed that the person who kidnapped them was Prince Duan.
Looking around the interior of the carriage, the windows were still sealed, but there was a gap at the corner. When Daohua saw it, she immediately took out some incense pills from her purse (actually a space) and threw them out of the carriage one by one.
She woke up too late, and she didn't know if this little clue could help Xiao Yeyang and the others find her.
