CEO Comes from Ancient Times - C221
The female beggar was questioned by Luo Shan, kneeling on the ground in fear, she timidly replied, “Today, at dawn, a young master passed by outside the city, his clothes were given to us by the young master, he even gave us some silver, and when he left, he said that when he came back, he would help us return home …”
Shocked, Luo Shan asked about her young master’s appearance.
The female beggar drew a detailed picture of her petite figure, her exquisite and gentle facial features, and her clear and gentle voice … “Wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwu…”
Meow, this young master dressed as a man was not her young miss, so who was he!
“He was with a man, and they rode off down the south lane.” Luo Shan was enlightened by the beggar woman’s last sentence. She finally understood why she could not find any clues in the capital after a night of searching. She also understood why the young miss could still leave the city with the city gates closed.
It’s just that Miss, don’t tell me that you are a fool for a while, that you should believe in a man you don’t know? If you follow him like this, will you be safe? If there was no guarantee of safety, what strength did you have to fight back?
Miss, Miss, when can you really make me feel at ease!
Luo Shan’s heart was burning with anxiety. She mounted her horse and crazily chased in the direction that Jia Sanmo had left in, together with Xiao Budian and three thousand elite soldiers.
Seeing her red face filled with seriousness, Xiao Budian couldn’t help but feel sympathy for her. As he galloped to the side, he kindly advised: “Young Lady Xi is a smart person, she would personally judge good people and bad people. If she dares to leave with that person, she must have a good grasp of that person’s nature. Furthermore, if she had the time to give out clothes and silver taels to the beggars, it would also mean that the person did not kidnap Miss Xi.
No matter how good that man is, he is still a man. No matter how much my Young Miss disguises herself as a man, she is still a woman after all, and men and women shouldn’t get too close to each other, so when they get together, it would definitely cause a lot of gossip. Thus, regardless of whether my Young Miss is safe or not, Xiao Budian, you must remember that the reason my Young Miss has walked this far is all because of your Young Master. “If your Prince dares to make a fuss about this matter again, I will definitely not let him off.”
Xiao Budian wanted to retort but he resisted in the end. He rushed in front of Luo Shan in anger and ignored her. After he found Xi Sanmo, they would come and settle the score!
However, in the Xi Mansion, Huo Li who was lying on his sickbed also received the news from the soldiers. He was angry and anxious.
However, Xi Sanmo was too unvirtuous and easily trusted the stranger. He left with the stranger and he even dared to pretend to be a man.
He was worried about the safety of Xi Sanmo as well, because once he closed his eyes, he would be able to see him lying in the narrow cellar with his hands tied and trembling.
With his heart burning with anxiety, he couldn’t wait any longer. He called over Imperial Physician Ma and continued to exhaust his body, forcibly accepting the third round of the [Golden Needle Technique].
According to Imperial Physician Ma’s treatment plan, these three rounds of the [Golden Needle Technique] required three days to complete, allowing him to recover fifty percent of his strength. However, Huo Li had advanced three times in advance, so even if he used all three rounds of the [Golden Needle Technique], he would only be able to recover thirty percent of his strength.
Huo Li added 10% to his physical strength after he performed the [Gold Needle Art], but it was still enough for him to ride his horse to find that damned Xi Sanmo.
Mi San Mo, don’t let This King find you. Otherwise, there will definitely be something good for you. This King will never let you leave This King’s side ever again!
Huo Li rode on his big brown horse and galloped on. His pale face was even whiter than the white robe on his body. Under the sunlight, it shone with a blinding light that made people not dare to look directly at him.
Around four in the afternoon, he led a thousand soldiers and finally caught up with Luo Shan and Xiao Bufan’s team.
Luo Shan and Xiao Budian had been trapped in the forest for two hours already. They had been chasing after the hoof prints, but they were confused by the pile of leaves in front of them. They could no longer find an accurate direction to continue their pursuit.
Xiao Budian said: “The prints of the horses’ hooves were very clear when they chased us all the way here. But now that they’ve chased us all the way here, they completely disappeared, as if their horses were going to fly away. There were plenty of fallen leaves in the forest, and the only thing that grew was a huge pile. It was obvious that it was man-made. But among the leaves, we couldn’t find any footprints. We sent people to search through the forest, but they didn’t find anything, and there were no traces of a fight. ”
With so many people searching for clues, even if they had any, it would be destroyed by them. Huo Li narrowed his eyes and looked around. This forest was a birch forest, and also the boundary between two cities.
However, following this route, they would arrive at Qi City, a small city famous for its puppets. If Xi Sanmo wanted to go out to play, the chances of him going there were very high, but…
If she wants to go, then go. Why did she want to clear away all traces of her journey?” What ability did she have to clean the place clean?
Therefore, it wasn’t hard for Huo Li to figure out that the person who cleared the route wasn’t Xi Sanmo, but that man. Because a man who could escape the search with Xi Sanming, and a man who could fly out of the city wall with Xi Sanmo, was not a powerless man.
But who could this man be? Xi Sanmo didn’t want him to follow the clues, but he was willing to be with that man. Did this mean that he had already fallen in love with that man and no longer wanted him?
Huo Li’s chest was filled with jealousy. He gritted his teeth and forced himself to jump off the horse. He squatted down and picked up a leaf to examine it.
Winter leaves have been yellow, the front of the leaf short and sharp, the edge has deep wavy teeth, the base is cordate, the whole is triangular ovate.
Triangular-ovate, yes, but these teeth…
Huo Li easily noticed that something was wrong. He picked up another leaf. The structure, size, color, and even the shape of the teeth were exactly the same as the previous leaf. After comparing several pieces, they all looked the same.
This is a birch forest, where did the leaves come from?
The size, shape, and color of the leaves of the poplar and birch leaves were not much different. If one did not know the tree, it was almost impossible to distinguish between the two leaves. However, the edges of the leaves were not wavy teeth, but rather jagged.
Therefore, it was obvious that the leaves were not brought from here, but from outside.
But why bring leaves in from the outside? Aren’t the leaves here enough for them? What game did they want to play, and what did they want to confuse him with?
Huo Li thought about it for a long time but still didn’t understand. He stood up angrily and ordered, “The first team will bring 300 people to search for the nearby poplar forests, the second team will bring 500 people to search for the nearby sightseeing spots. The third team will bring 2000 people to the Qi City and use the portraits to search for Xi Sanmo. The fourth group took five hundred men to the west to search for the birch forest and the villages surrounding it. The fifth team of five hundred men went east to search for the birch forest and the surrounding villages. The one hundred people will stay with This King and await further news. The remaining one hundred will return to the capital and guard the four city gates in case they try to backfire. ”
Huo Li’s original intention was to let Luo Shan and Xiao Budian split up, but Xiao Budian inexplicably said: “She should come with me to the Qi City, in case we find Miss and lose the little girl. Troublesome.”
Huo Li no longer asked for anything and brought people to stay in the birch forest. He sat in meditation while he waited for news. Time slowly passed from day to night, then from night to day.
However, no matter how far or how far, the message would always be the same: “No.”
Noon on the third day, news came back, but it was still a short word: “No.”
No! No!
It had already been three days, and yet he was still nowhere to be seen. He knew that outside of the city itself, he had used five thousand military horses. Before, he had used them to break into a city.
Mi San Mo, where are you? How much longer are you going to play? What do you want? If it wasn’t for the image of you being locked up in the cellar, This King wouldn’t have bothered with you. Don’t think that you’re that great, or that This King doesn’t have you …
That’s not right!
The cellar!
Hijacking!
Xiao Budian said that he didn’t find any traces of fighting, so he didn’t think about where he had been kidnapped to remove the traces. It could be the doing of Xi Sanmo, but it could also be the doing of a third party, such as a bandit.
The robbers had cleared out the traces of the fight, making it impossible for them to find them. They also intentionally left behind Yang Yezi and let them chase in the direction of Yang Yelin. In fact, they never left this place, much less headed towards Qi City.
Huo Li understood everything after thinking about it. He also understood that Xi Sanmo was in a dangerous situation. He jumped up from the ground and shouted, “Men! Recall all of them and search around the birch forest. If a cave or cellar is found, it will immediately surround and search for it. This King suspects that Xi Sanmo is being held in the cellar by the kidnappers. ”
“Yes.” Luo Shan and Xiao Budian received the order and rushed back as well.
The person protecting Chu Nantian, upon hearing Huo Li’s movement, immediately reported, “Young master, it’s bad. Prince Yu has guessed everything. His men will be coming soon.”
Chu Nantian made some calculations with his fingers, what the f * ck was he playing? He said he was going to play for five days, and it hadn’t even been three days and he was already done with it. Prince Duan, ah, Prince Duan, don’t you know that Xi Sanmo hasn’t woken up yet, don’t you know that I still have many plans that I haven’t completed?
He jumped up from the ground and jumped in front of them, “Quick, quickly injure me and then bring the medicine over for me to drink. Wait for my medicine to react, then I will give the antidote to Miss Xi. This way, the play will still be real.”
The masked man was a servant, Chu Nantian was his master, and the servants could not kill him, but in this situation, even if they couldn’t, they still had to. “Third Brother” hesitated for a moment, then he raised his fist and punched at Chu Nantian’s face, two punches, three punches … …
Chu Nantian was in so much pain that his eyes were shooting stars. He thought that in his entire life, no one had dared to hit him like that, but in order to kill Prince Duan, he suffered a lot.
His whole face was burning in pain, and his head was as heavy as a stone. The smell of blood lingered in his nose and mouth. “Third Brother” stopped when he saw that it was about time, and he gave him the antidote that could cause wind chill along with the bewitching drugs.
“Alright, you guys hurry up and leave. I’ll take care of everything here.” Chu Nantian sent them away and then used water to swallow the medicine.
Very quickly, the medicine worked, his body felt cold, his forehead was burning hot, and when Chu Nantian saw this, he immediately placed the antidote in front of Xi Sanmo’s nose, Xi Sanmo took a whiff, and slowly woke up from the effects of the Ecstasy.
“You’re awake. Hurry, let’s leave this place …” Chu Nantian saw that she had woken up and immediately reached out to help her.
She only saw that Chu Nantian’s face was no longer handsome, his eyes were black and purple, his cheeks were swollen, and his nose was severely injured. He was still bleeding from the injury, and even his nose had not escaped disaster.
Seeing such a pig-headed face, Xi Sanmo woke up in fright. He quickly sat up and asked, “Who beat you up like this?”
When she asked this question, she also took a quick look around. It was a small space of about ten square meters, with no windows or beds, only a torch inserted into the wall. The sturdy metal door was tightly shut, but there was no one standing guard outside.
Meow, meow. It can’t be that tragic, right? She was kidnapped again?
Suddenly, Xi Sanmo remembered the time she was kidnapped by Huo Dashan in G City. She had been confined in this cellar for several days, and her hands and feet had been tied, and she had finally escaped from the hands of the two guards.
Was he going to do the same this time?
Just as he was thinking, he heard Chu Nantian say with a tired expression, “In the forest, we were poisoned by their medicine and they caught us here. If they didn’t seal my acupoints, how could I not have defeated them? But Miss Xi, don’t worry. With me here, I won’t let anything happen to you. “Since Miss Xi is kind enough to help me, even if I have to die, I will protect Miss Xi with all my might.”
“If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have been injured to such a state. I didn’t help you take responsibility for the matter, instead, I would have caused you to suffer.”
Chu Nantian used his medicine very fiercely, all the strength in his body seemed to have disappeared, he could not stand still, and fell down to sit beside Xi Sumo, and said weakly: “This is not the place to talk, let’s quickly leave here, and when those evil people come, we can forget about leaving.” “Miss Xi, let’s go check out that metal door and see if it’s possible to open it.”
His nose was bleeding profusely, so Xi Sanmo could only wipe it off with his sleeve. However, his fingers accidentally brushed against his face, causing it to burn his hand. “Are you having a fever?”
“I’m fine, don’t worry about me. Even if I die, I will send Miss Xi to a safe place. Quick, let’s go take a look at that door and see if there’s any chance for us to escape. ” His strong inner force allowed him to hear everything clearly. The footsteps were getting closer and closer. It wouldn’t be long before Huo Li found this place. Chu Nantian calculated and gave Xi Sanmo a push.
Xi Sumo didn’t know what he was thinking. She quickly stood up and ran to the metal door to check. When she saw the door, she shouted excitedly, “It’s not locked. They forgot to lock the door.”
“Good, then that’s good. That person’s ear must have been bitten off by me, so he didn’t even bother to lock the door before running away in pain. Come, let’s go.” Chu Nantian’s mouth was full of lies. He propped himself up against the wall, but it was too strong and he could not stand up. He fell to the ground with a thud and looked at Xi Sumo with a helpless and pitiful gaze.
He was tall and strong, so she couldn’t bear his weight at all. It took her a lot of effort to carry him, but before she could take two steps, she stumbled again and fell straight to the ground.
Chu Nantian fell down with her and landed on her body. His face was still diving down and his lips just happened to land on hers.
His eyes widened in shock.
At the same time, Huo Li rushed into the cellar, and saw the two of them kissing on the ground. Huo Li, at the same time, rushed into the cellar, and saw the two of them kissing on the ground.
“I, I, I …” How did Huo Li get here in time? She didn’t know. She could only look at Huo Li’s twisted, furious face and find it difficult to explain herself.
As for Chu Nantian, he pretended to be dead on top of Xi Sanmo, sneakily laughing.
