Xia Xun turned around sharply and took a few steps forward. He looked around and saw pedestrians walking leisurely on the road. There were also some vendors selling coconuts and bamboo tube rice, but Su Ying and Tang Saier were nowhere to be seen. In this moment, they could
Where to go?
Xia Xun hurriedly grabbed a hawker and asked: "Have you ever seen two women in oriental clothes? One is so tall, about thirty years old, and the other is a little girl."
While the interpreter was translating, the hawker shook his head repeatedly and looked at him timidly.
Xia Xun let go of the man, called Su Ying and Tang Saier's names, and looked back along the way they came.
This coconut grove water alley is criss-crossed, turning hundreds of times. Tall coconut trees line both sides of the river. The shadows of the trees are whirling. It is as beautiful as heaven. The wooden boat makes ripples on the water. Sometimes the water and sky are aligned, and sometimes the boat is wide and the water is thin.
Ahead, there is always the quiet water and the graceful reflections of coconut trees. The coconut groves are sheltered by uncarved log houses, which are picturesque and poetic. But Xia Xun has no intention of looking at the clothes. When he looks around, he suddenly sees the grass hanging out of the river.
With a corner of yellow clothes, Xia Xun was overjoyed and flew over, shouting: "Sai'er!"
A woman in a yellow dress was washing clothes by the river. Xia Xun suddenly jumped in front of her, startling her and almost falling into the river. She stared at Xia Xun in horror, and Xia Xun admitted his mistake.
I couldn't help but feel very upset when I killed someone.
Fei Yinglun and Xia Xun were so anxious that they helped shout and search everywhere.
This man had a bit of chivalry. When he saw the ladies he was traveling with lost, as a man, he felt it was his responsibility to find them. Suddenly, Fei Yinglun saw a shirtless Indian man swaying towards him, wearing a tuiku.
As soon as he saw this attire, Fei Yinglun knew the identity of the other party, so he immediately went up to him and started talking to him.
When Xia Xun returned to the road from the river, Fei Yinglun led the man to Xia Xun and said: "Mr.
"
Xia Xunyi, this man wears a white hat on his head, a dark face with a high nose bridge, deep eye sockets, a beard, an embroidered unsheathed short knife tied to his waist, and two big bare feet.
He stepped directly on the ground, and there was dirt between his toes. He couldn't help but frowned and asked Fei Yinglun: "Who is he? Can he help?"
After Fei Yinglun explained a few words to Xia Xun, he understood that Brother Ah San was actually a gangster from Danglun. No matter where he went, the ones who had the best information about the dark world were always these urban foxes and rats.
Xia Xun was not familiar with the place here, not to mention that he had no way of getting information. Even if he asked the right people, the people he met would not offend local criminals because of him, a foreigner.
Xia Xun immediately said: "Okay! As long as you can help me find them, I can pay you whatever you want."
Ah San grinned and said a few words, and Fei Yinglun said: "He said he can help you find out the information, but there is no guarantee that he will find them. He needs five silver coins as a reward."
Xia Xun took out a gold cake from his pocket, handed it to Ah San and said, "Okay! This gold cake is worth five silver coins, and it's your reward!"
He turned back to the horse, took out a box of something from the horse bag, and turned back.
The box is painted with varnish and maintains the original wood grain. The texture is fleshy and very luxurious. When you open the box, there is a booth covered with purple velvet cushions. There are seven teacups placed on it in the shape of seven stars. Next to it, there are seven tea cups.
There is also a teapot and a tea can containing tea leaves.
There is a whole set of blue and white porcelain. The utensils have beautiful shapes and smooth lines. The rich blue color exudes a gem-like luster. That Ah San, who has been hanging out on the dock all day long, still has some eyesight. When he took a look at this set of porcelain, he immediately opened his eyes.
I can't close my mouth.
Xia Xun said solemnly: "If you can find them, then this box of porcelain will also be yours!"
"Ah...ah..." OK, OK!"
Ah San nodded hurriedly and immediately led Xia Xun away, looking even more anxious than Xia Xun.
Xia Xun followed Ah San. After a while, he ran to the hawker and shouted a few words in a loud voice. Before leaving, he grabbed some things from the vendor. After a while, he ran to the front of the shop, hugging each other and laughing and joking.
He would sometimes give people a few copper coins and lead them slowly toward the city.
Although Xia Xun was anxious, he had experienced many major events in the past years, and his mental quality was still very good. His mind was urgent but not chaotic. Seeing that he was about to enter the city, Xia Xun secretly thought that Su Ying and Tang Sai'er were probably unknown to each other.
They were kidnapped by some means. People these days have a strong sense of place. Even in later generations, the police would go to remote mountain villages to rescue trafficked prostitutes. They would often conduct surprise attacks, rush in, rob people and then run away.
, one delay, and he was surrounded by the whole village.
Although I am very talented and only daring, I am not afraid of anything but ten thousand. At the very least, Su Ying and Tang Sai'er are both skilled in martial arts, but they were taken away without a trace. Even if they use medicine, they will not be afraid of anything.
How can I take them away when they are unconscious? If I am trapped in it, it will make the world unable to respond, and the earth and the earth will not work.
"No, I have to ask someone to go back and deliver the letter. I have to take a few people with me. Bu Yi can't leave. Once he gets old, it will be difficult for him to communicate with others..."
Xia Xun had his mind set on Fei Yinglun, and had no choice but to ask him to go back and report the news. Xia Xun was about to talk to him when he suddenly saw a group of men in Hanfu driving a hired cart out of the city with smiles on their faces. The leader was exactly
He Tianyang.
Ever since He Tianyang married the princess of a small country in Ryukyu, he wanted to seek a stable life. Before Shuangyu Guards officially surrendered, he left his pirate status and Xia Xun made other arrangements for him.
Later, Mrs. Xizhu and Su Ying founded Qianlong, and later Xia Xun asked him to pretend to be the prince of Shanhou King and join the Jian Dynasty to pay tribute, and he and Xia Xun had become very close. After Zhu Di came to the dynasty and was recruiting troops to An Shuangyu,
He was sent back to the Shuangyu Guards. The Shuangyu Guards couldn't insert needles or splash water. They were hugged together, so only he, who was born in Shuangyu, could go.
Since then, He Tianyang has been working as an official in Shuangyuwei. This time Shuangyuwei went to the West, it was a good opportunity to make a fortune. He Tianyang also followed. He brought some brothers who had just delivered goods into the city. The goods came from Zheng
The goods separated from the ship as dirt, as well as the things they bought themselves, were all sold at good prices, and they are now returning home with great joy.
Xia Xun was overjoyed and quickly called He Tianyang to stay. When He Tianyang saw Xia Xun, he quickly came forward to pay his respects.
Xia Xun pulled him aside and asked in a low voice: "How many people did you bring?"
He Tianyang said: "Even I, thirty-nine, have just delivered goods into the city, do you have any orders from the Duke?"
Xia Xun asked again: "Are you all bringing guys with you?"
He Tianyang said: "Of course, this person is unfamiliar with the place. What if the buyer tries to take advantage of him, huh?"
He Tianyang's eyes lit up and he asked urgently: "My lord, do you want to fight?"
Xia Xun explained the matter urgently, and He Tianyang was shocked and said: "The third sister is missing? Duke, I will find her with you!"
Xia Xun said: "Wait a minute! If we look for it, it's like finding a needle in a haystack. We have to rely on local talents. You ask someone to go back to the dock and tell Xu Hu the matter. The others follow me from a distance, otherwise there would be so many people
, I’m afraid that I might have alerted the criminal before I found him, and if he escaped again, it would be difficult!”
He Tianyang nodded in agreement and asked one person to rush back to the dock to report the news. The others returned to the city as usual, dispersed in formation, and slowly followed Xia Xun as if they were shopping for goods along the street.
Most of the buildings in Guli City are very simple, and the streets are always messy, but occasionally when passing by a place, you can see that the building is grand and magnificent, like a palace. The gap between the rich and the poor in this place is not generally large.
After Xia Xun entered the city, Na Asan took him to a grocery store to sit for a while. He told him that he was going out to inquire about news, and then slipped out.
When Asan first brought Xia Xun into the city, he also planned to find a few brothers to hack him. However, Xia Xun met many "Oriental businessmen" at the gate of the city. They were all patrolling around now, trying to force him.
I was afraid that it would be difficult to succeed, so I had to give up the idea and sincerely inquire about the information from him.
Snakes have their own paths, rats have their own paths. These urban foxes and social rats have their own paths. After about half an hour, Ah San came back happily and said that he had heard the news.
There was no way to hide the idea of bringing two foreign women into the city from the neighbors. What’s more, those kidnappers deceived Xia Xun and the others that they were foreigners. They didn’t even bother to hide it, so Ah San quickly found out.
information.
According to him, Ramamujiam, a well-known human trafficker in the city, had just brought two sleeping women back to the city not long ago. According to the information he inquired about, the two women were dressed in oriental clothes.
The age mentioned by the person who arrived is generally similar to what Xia Xun described.
Xia Xun was overjoyed and immediately said: "Take me there quickly!"
Asan said slyly: "Sir, Rama often comes back from other places to abduct and traffic women. If he can abduct a beautiful foreign woman, he will sell it to wealthy men at a high price for their enjoyment. Therefore, he is quite powerful in the city. Let me help you.
, if he knew about it, there would be a lot of trouble, so...that tea set is obviously not enough to make up for my loss."
Fei Yinglun was furious, grabbed him by the collar and shouted: "How dare you break your promise?"
Ah San was lifted off the ground by his toes, but he was not afraid. He lowered his hands and did not resist at all. He just said: "Sir, if you look for it yourself, you may not be able to find his lair. Wait until he sells your woman."
When she is given to a wealthy man, you will never be able to get her back."
Xia Xun took off the horse bag from the horse, put it gently on the floor of the grocery store, and said to him: "Take me there, the things are yours! If you dare to be naughty, I will kill you and burn your friend's
shop!"
Ah San wanted to blackmail two more sets of utensils and be satisfied, but he didn't expect Xia Xun to be so generous. He hurriedly nodded in agreement. Fei Yinglun let go of his hand bitterly, and he fell to the ground, his head still shaking as if it was wound up.
At point.
Xia Xun gently pressed the handle of the knife at his waist and said with a murderous look: "Let's go!"
