Chapter 213 Du Xiaoyao was kidnapped
Jiang Yutong was about to go out in a hurry, and happened to run into Jiang Yuwen who had just returned from duty.
Jiang Yuwen pulled Jiang Yutong aside and asked, "Why are you in such a hurry?"
Jiang Yutong quickly said, "Xiaoyao had a quarrel with her family and ran away from home. I'm going to look for her outside."
Jiang Yutong said and prepared to go out.
Jiang Yuwen was anxious. "It's getting dark. It's so late. Where are you going to look for her? Stay home. I'll go."
After saying that, Jiang Yuwen put on his duty clothes and prepared to leave. Jiang Yutong thought about it and decided to go look for him herself. She knew how dangerous it was for a girl to be outside alone in this era, and Du Xiaoyao had no skills to protect herself.
Jiang Yuwen turned around and saw Jiang Yutong following him out. He said sternly, "Go back. I'll ask my family to go look for her together. You stay home. You only care about her and how dangerous it is for a girl out there. Don't forget that you are a girl too. Have you forgotten Su Jianming?"
Jiang Yutong stopped.
After thinking about it, I waited for news at home.
Jiang Yuwen saw that Jiang Yutong was safe, then he mounted his horse and galloped out.
Jiang Yutong anxiously waited for news at home.
Jiang Yuwen rode his horse around the city but didn't see anyone. Finally, he came to the city gate and asked the soldiers guarding the city.
The city guard recognized Jiang Yuwen, saluted him, and then shook his head, "I didn't see any girls leaving the city alone."
The city gate was about to close. Jiang Yuwen looked at the empty road outside the city gate and saw no one in sight.
Jiang Yuwen was a little anxious, hesitating whether to go out of the city gate to look for it, or continue inside the city.
Just then, a peasant couple pushed a cart and prepared to leave the city.
The soldiers guarding the city went forward to check as usual.
The peasant woman smiled innocently, "Sir, my old man and I went into the city yesterday and are going back now."
"What's that up there?"
The peasant woman laughed and said, "There are some chickens and ducks in there. We took them to the city to sell. They're the leftovers."
After saying that, he casually opened a basket at hand, and there were indeed chickens and ducks inside.
The soldiers guarding the city took a look and prepared to let them go.
Jiang Yuwen also glanced at it casually, not taking it seriously at all.
Just then, the basket at the back moved.
The woman quickly suppressed it with her hands and patted them, "These beasts are still not honest."
The movement inside became more intense, but the guards didn't take it seriously. They raised their hands and let them go, "Let's go."
The woman nodded repeatedly, without loosening her grip.
The farmer breathed a sigh of relief, pushed the cart and prepared to leave.
The two men smiled and thanked the soldiers guarding the city.
Jiang Yuwen was also preparing to mount his horse and go look somewhere else.
After the horse rode out for a while, an idea suddenly flashed through Jiang Yuwen's mind, and he immediately rode back to the city gate.
The soldiers guarding the city were about to close the gates when they saw Jiang Yuwen coming back. "General, the gates will be closed soon."
Jiang Yuwen quickly asked the soldiers guarding the city, "Which direction did the couple go just now?"
The soldier guarding the city pointed and walked in that direction.
Jiang Yuwen instructed the soldiers, "Please go to the Jiang residence and tell them I'm leaving the city."
Jiang Yuwen immediately galloped away.
After all, Jiang Yuwen's horse ran fast, so he followed the tracks of the cart.
Unfortunately, when we reached a fork in the road, the cart marks disappeared.
Jiang Yuwen dismounted and observed carefully.
I saw an abandoned cart just at the foot of a hill.
Jiang Yuwen didn't take anything from the cart. He casually opened a basket and found a few chickens and ducks inside. The other two baskets were empty.
Something's wrong. No normal farmer would be willing to throw these things away.
Jiang Yuwen became more and more certain of his guess.
These two men must have changed horses and run away.
Jiang Yuwen looked everywhere for horse tracks.
Sure enough, I saw a row of horseshoe prints.
Jiang Yuwen followed the horseshoe prints and chased after them.
Jiang Yutong was waiting anxiously at home at this moment. There was no news from the Du Mansion, so she must have found the person yet.
Seeing that the sky was getting darker, the servants who had gone out came back one after another and shook their heads.
Jiang Yutong was disappointed, hoping nothing would happen.
On the other side, Jiang Yuwen, the horse under his crotch was good after all, and soon he saw the shadow of the horse in front of him.
Seeing that there were more than two horses, Jiang Yuwen counted them and found that there were four people in the group, one horse each.
The person in front noticed someone behind him and immediately sped up.
Jiang Yuwen looked from a distance and saw a sack behind a horse, as if a person was lying across the horse.
Jiang Yuwen slapped the horse hard, saw a small path nearby, and ran towards it.
The people in front looked back and didn't see the horses. They breathed a sigh of relief and slowed down a bit.
The farmer just now said loudly, "It's getting dark, let's find a place to stay quickly."
After saying that, they sped up again.
Jiang Yuwen whipped his horse more and more frequently, and stopped at the intersection. He and his horse hid under a big tree.
Hearing the sound of horse hooves getting closer, Jiang Yuwen took out the soft sword at his waist.
Just as the horse came over, Jiang Yuwen rushed into the crowd, and the sound of horse hooves filled the air.
Jiang Yuwen took them by surprise and quickly knocked down two of them. The other two reacted quickly and rushed towards Jiang Yuwen with their knives.
After a fight, Jiang Yuwen's arm was accidentally cut by a knife. He endured the pain and quickly swung the soft sword in his hand. The other two were defeated and jumped on their horses to run away.
Jiang Yuwen would never let them run away, so he chased after them on horseback.
Soon, several people were knocked to the ground by Jiang Yuwen.
Jiang Yuwen tied people to the tree one by one, and then walked towards the sacks on the ground.
At this moment, the person in the sack was moving around. Jiang Yuwen opened the sack immediately. Who else could it be but Du Xiaoyao?
Du Xiaoyao's hands and feet were tied, her mouth was stuffed with something, and she was stuffed into a sack and taken out of the city gate.
Du Xiaoyao saw a flash of surprise in Jiang Yuwen's eyes, and then tears came out.
Jiang Yuwen untied Du Xiaoyao, and Du Xiaoyao was free. Instead, she was speechless, lowered her head, and thanked Jiang Yuwen.
Jiang Yuwen checked carefully and was relieved to see that Du Xiaoyao was not injured.
He jumped on the horse and stretched out his hand to Du Xiaoyao, "Let's go."
Du Xiaoyao stared blankly at the hand extended towards her, then handed it over. Jiang Yuwen quickly pulled her onto the horse.
Du Xiaoyao sat in front of Jiang Yuwen.
Jiang Yuwen squeezed the horse's belly with his legs, and the horse moved forward.
At this moment, the sky was completely dark and you couldn't see your hand in front of you. It was so quiet all around that you couldn't hear any sound except the sound of the wind in your ears.
Du Xiaoyao's original cloak had long since disappeared. At this moment, her whole body was cold and she subconsciously leaned back.
Jiang Yuwen felt Du Xiaoyao shivering, "Is it cold?"
Du Xiaoyao shook her head subconsciously.
Jiang Yuwen sat forward, untied his cloak, and hugged Du Xiaoyao in.
Suddenly, a constant flow of heat came from behind Du Xiaoyao.
As she approached Jiang Yuwen, Du Xiaoyao smelled a bloody odor and asked, "Brother Jiang, are you injured?"
