Although Leping County is located in Bingzhou, Bingzhou is too big.
The distance from Leping County to Bingzhou Taiyuan Prefecture is not as close as Liaozhou City.
But Wang Shiyu often said that she wanted to settle accounts with herself, which made Fang Yuan think a little more about whether she had set a trap for him.
"Prefect Fang, please, please save my young lady!"
The groom did not get up and kowtowed directly to Fang Yuan.
There was a banging sound, and his head turned red and purple in just a moment.
"Okay, I didn't say not to help."
"Come here, ask sister and brother Li Danqiu to bring someone back to verify their training."
Fang Yuan stopped him from kneeling down.
Judging from his appearance, Wang Shiyu is more likely to be in danger.
It just so happened that the Li Danqiu siblings had been training state officials and security teams for nearly half a month, so it was time to put them to the test.
"Thank you, the governor, thank you, the governor!"
The groom breathed a sigh of relief and stood up.
"President Fang, I will resign first."
"Our Royal Trading Company is not suitable for taking action casually."
Nie Jiazhong saluted.
Their royal trading house belongs to the army and cannot be taken care of casually.
"Okay, thanks for your hard work, Captain Nie is on his way."
Fang Yuan said politely.
Let the state officials give it to him.
Not long after, Li Danqiu and his sister came back.
"President Fang, is it finally time for verification?"
Li Danqiu said excitedly.
Although it didn’t take long to train Zheng Jiu and the others, Li Danqiu felt that every day passed by for a long time.
She had been waiting for this day for a long time. It was time for Fang Yuan to be shocked and satisfied, and it was also time for him to go up to the ninth floor of the Star Observation Tower.
"Not bad, are you ready?"
Fang Yuan chuckled.
"Just waiting for your order."
Li Danqiu smiled confidently.
"Then let's go."
"The purpose is to save Wang Shiyu."
Fang Yuan stood up.
He also wants to set off.
I want to see for myself the training situation of Li Danqiu and his sister.
"Something happened to Wang Shiyu?!"
Li Danqiu was immediately surprised.
She knew Wang Shiyu as someone who had stayed in Bingzhou for a long time.
"Wang Shiyu said what the groom said."
Fang Yuan has already reached the gate of the Governor's Mansion.
The state officials have prepared more than thirty horses and have been waiting for a long time.
"Oh, I didn't expect you to have more than thirty horses."
Li Danqiu looked at so many horses and said in surprise.
Horses are a scarce and precious resource, and ordinary people do not have the means to purchase them.
"That's all."
"Zheng Jiu, you choose some experts and assign them to ride horses and rush there in advance."
"Huang Dada, Lai Yingzhe, you two each bring one hundred and fifty state officials and security guards to follow, while the others stay behind in Liaozhou City."
Fang Yuan got on his horse and ordered.
These are all the horses currently owned by Fang Yuan.
It also includes several spare horses from the governor's office.
More than thirty horses are already quite a lot, and compared with other states, they are already at an upper-middle level.
"Yes!"
Zheng Jiu and others should be.
Soon, more than thirty horses were filled with people.
Wang Shiyu's groom pulled out the carriage horse alone and rode on it.
Everyone set off and headed straight to Leping County.
With great speed, Fang Yuan and others quickly entered Leping County.
Under the leadership of Wang Shiyu's groom, Fang Yuan and others quickly arrived at a pipeline.
Mountains on both sides here are sparsely populated, making it a good place for robbery.
As soon as they arrived, Fang Yuan and others saw that the blood stains on the pipes were randomly covered by the soil, but some were still exposed.
Looking along the blood stains, I saw several corpses thrown into the grass, dying in miserable conditions.
Seeing this, Fang Yuan no longer doubted whether something happened to Wang Shiyu.
"Prefect Fang, I escaped here."
"I'm not sure where the young lady was taken."
Wang Shiyu's groom said with a tragic face.
He was very sad to see his tragically dead companion being dumped in the wilderness.
Fang Yuan nodded and looked at the Li Danqiu siblings.
"What are you looking at us for?"
"We only know how to use troops to fight, not to investigate and search."
Li Danqiu understood what Fang Yuan meant immediately.
Li Siwen also shrugged, saying he was helpless.
"Zun Zhou, my subordinates are good at investigation. Please allow me to observe the scene for a while."
In the team, a state official walked out.
He looks ordinary, even a little ugly, and he is someone who would not even look at him twice if he is thrown into the crowd.
If he were not wearing the clothes of a state official, a thin, middle-aged man like him might be looked down upon by others.
"Go ahead."
Fang Yuan nodded.
The state official immediately rode his horse towards the body and observed carefully around the place where the fight took place.
"Zun Zhou, this is a good detective in our team, named Luo Zheng."
Zheng Jiu explained from the side.
Those he personally selected were not ordinary state officials.
Either he is a master of martial arts, or someone like Luo Zheng who has abilities beyond ordinary people.
"Zheng Jiu, you did a good job."
Fang Yuan praised.
Zheng Jiu is really a rare talent.
I usually work very hard, and occasionally I can make Fang Yuan's eyes light up.
For example, last time at Zhang Ji's house, he was the only one who brought a hundred dollars, and this time, he considered bringing in good detectives.
"Xie Zhouzun praised me."
Zheng Jiu smiled modestly.
Not long after, Luo Zheng came back.
"President Zhou, I have concluded that the murderer went this way after kidnapping Miss Wang."
Luo Zheng pointed to the side of the mountain and said.
"Lead the way!"
Fang Yuan said in a deep voice without any hesitation.
"Yes!"
Luo Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then responded loudly.
Fang Yuan led the way without any doubt, which gave him a feeling of being trusted and immediately led the way from the front.
Soon, everyone galloped to the foot of a mountain. It would be more difficult for the horses to ride up there.
Considering that if you continue to go up, you will have to go on foot, and you need to confirm the situation again before deciding whether to continue going up.
Otherwise, it will be very time-consuming if there is no horse, and it will also have a great impact on the rescue.
Luo Zheng was carefully observing the situation at the scene to determine where the gangster would eventually go.
Soon, he found a torn piece of silk in a hidden bush.
"Brother, are these your lady's clothes? Those pieces of silk asked Wang Shiyu
""Groomman.
"Yes, yes, this is exactly the silk passed down by the lady!"
When Wang Shiyu's groom saw the torn silk, he was so excited that tears filled his eyes.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"Zun Zhou, they must be on the mountain!"
Luo Zheng confirmed again.
"Lead the way."
Fang Yuan did not hesitate.
I also believe that Luo Zheng’s judgment is correct.
It's just that it's not easy for horses to get up here, so you have to go on foot.
According to Luo Zheng's detective, Fang Yuan and others went up the mountain and walked in a certain direction.
Finally, the den was discovered.
"Zun Zhou, he should be here."
Luo Zheng held the last piece of broken silk and said in a deep voice.
Along the way, Luo Zheng found a total of five pieces of broken silk.
It should be a clue that Wang Shiyu left for her rescuers.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.
Hidden body and stare at the den.
It is built in the form of a cottage. There are four people patrolling back and forth at the entrance, so the security should be very tight.
"What's going on?!"
"This place was obviously destroyed by my father and I with our troops!"
Li Danqiu suddenly said in disbelief.
Li Siwen also looked at Shanzhai with a shocked expression.
"What's the problem?"
Fang Yuan frowned and asked.
"This was a hideout for bandits in the Taiyuan Mountains, but I remember they were wiped out by us."
Li Danqiu said in a deep voice.
His eyes became a little gloomy.
This place has obviously been destroyed by the three members of the family who led the troops, and the camp here was also destroyed.
But now there are new bandits occupying this place, making Li Danqiu feel like his things have been robbed.
"How brave."
"Maybe the bandit leader thinks that the more dangerous the place, the safer it is."
Fang Yuan didn't expect this.
Suddenly I felt that the bandit leader was either a crazy person or a fool.
I estimate that the former is more likely, while the latter may not survive long as a bandit.
"Prefect Fang, shall we go in?"
"I'm worried that something bad will happen to the lady if it's too late."
The groom reminded in a low voice.
He knew it would be dangerous to break in like this.
But he is more worried about his young lady's condition.
The longer the rescue is delayed, the more dangerous it will be for the young lady.
Fang Yuan did not answer him. Attacking cities and fortresses was not what he was good at. Li Danqiu and his sister were in command.
"""Do it after dark!"
"If your young lady is harmed, I can only say that your young lady's life is bad."
Li Danqiu said without comment.
The groom's expression suddenly changed, but he was also a sensible person and did not dare to refute.
"Luo Zheng, you have strong investigative abilities. You stay here and keep an eye on us. We will retreat a little to avoid being discovered."
Li Danqiu said in a deep voice.
"Okay."
Luo Zheng looked at Fang Yuan.
Respond respectfully after Fang Yuan's signal.
Li Danqiu nodded and stepped back with Fang Yuan and others.
This is the blind spot on the top of the mountain, and it is some distance away from the top of the mountain, so there is no need to be too cautious.
"Fang Yuan, you state officials really listen to you."
Li Danqiu said sourly after sitting down.
When they were at Li Ji's military camp, most of the soldiers obeyed her orders.
But Li Danqiu knew that it was because his father was their general.
It's the same in Fang Yuan's place. The state officials and security guards only listen to him because of Fang Yuan.
"After dark is waiting for yellow
He was curious whether Li Danqiu chose to take action after dark because the danger was reduced, or whether he was waiting for Huang Dada and his army to arrive.
The real main force is Huang Dada and others, and his own side can only be regarded as a vanguard army.
"Look at the sky, it will get dark in an hour at most."
"Huang Dada and the others shouldn't be able to arrive in an hour, so we won't wait for her."
Li Danqiu said in a deep voice.
Huang Dada and the others don't have horses, so they can't come quickly. If they rush too fast, they will consume a lot of energy.
So under normal circumstances, they wouldn't be able to arrive in an hour.
Therefore, you should wait until dark before taking action, otherwise Wang Shiyu, who was kidnapped, may be in danger.
"Got it."
Fang Yuan nodded solemnly.
Then Li Danqiu talked to everyone about the rescue method.
She was familiar with the situation inside, so everyone quickly understood the layout inside.
Time passes slowly.
In less than an hour, it got dark, the moon appeared, and Fang Yuan and others began to take action.
Zheng Jiu and several other masters sneaked in and quietly killed the four bandits guarding the gate on patrol.
Soon, Fang Yuan and others entered the camp.
As soon as they entered, Fang Yuan and others felt something was wrong.
There are several groups of three to five people patrolling back and forth in the village.
"They walk neatly and have a calm breath. They are not ordinary bandits...maybe they are the army?!"
Li Danqiu was the first to notice something was wrong and said in horror.
Such a neat pace cannot be the quality a bandit should have.
It looked very much like the soldiers patrolling I saw in the military camp.
"These are the army?!"
Fang Yuan is no longer calm.
The army stationed in such a place is definitely not the official army of the imperial court.
Who hid an army in the Taiyuan Mountains?
What was the reason for kidnapping Wang Shiyu?
Could it be... the hidden treasure of the prince?
"Maybe I'm overthinking."
"We will fight quickly!"
Li Danqiu took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.
She wasn't sure if these were the military, after all, it was too ridiculous.
The possibility of an army appearing in the barren mountains and ridges is too low, and the possibility of encountering one yourself is even lower.
And they have all come in. It would be a pity to leave without giving it a try.
"Okay."
Fang Yuan nodded solemnly.
Follow Li Danqiu's footsteps, evade the patrols of soldiers, and sneak to the place where Li Danqiu knows where he is being held.
Along the way, Li Danqiu asked Zheng Jiu and others to ambush on the way back in case someone needed to break out and support them.
Finally, Li Danqiu took Fang Yuan to the place where the prisoners were detained, killed two guards and opened the cell door.
Instantly, a strong stench gushed out, mixed with the smell of blood, feces and urine.
At the same time, Fang Yuan and others found that the room was full of women, estimated to be more than fifty people.
Some of them have tattered clothes, some have no clothes at all, and their hair is very messy.
Soon, Fang Yuan and others discovered that Wang Shiyu was also in the house, with no trace of blood on his face.
"Ah!!!"
The women screamed subconsciously, thinking that the bandits were coming to catch them and play with them.
Fortunately, Fang Yuan and the others closed the door the moment they opened it, blocking a lot of sounds.
"Shh!!!"
"Don't say anything, we are here to save you."
Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.
When they arrived at the house, Fang Yuan and Li Danqiu were the only ones left.
Including Wang Shiyu's groom, they were arranged to guard outside.
"Damn beasts, what a bunch of scum!"
Li Danqiu's childish face was filled with great anger.
These bandits go too far and treat women like animals.
She noticed that even though she and Fang Yuan came in, there were still several women leaning against the wall and lying on the ground motionless.
Maybe something unexpected has happened.
"Fang Yuan?!"
Among the women, Wang Shiyu exclaimed.
She rubbed her eyes, unable to believe what she saw, until she was sure it was Fang Yuan, she cried with joy, ran towards Fang Yuan, and hugged Fang Yuan heavily.
"Stop crying!"
"You all should also stop talking!"
"We are here to rescue you. I will open the door later and you will leave with us. Remember not to speak or make any noise!"
Fang Yuan pushed Wang Shiyu and said solemnly.
It is not appropriate to stay here for a long time. You cannot spend too much time here. You must leave immediately.
"Fang Yuan, won't Miaoyan come to save me?!"
Wang Shiyu let go of Fang Yuan, wiped her tears and asked.
I don’t know if she listened to what Fang Yuan just said.
Anyway, she didn't see her beloved come to save her, so she became worried.
"She has returned to Chang'an City long ago."
"Did you understand what I just said? Did you understand it?"
Fang Yuan's face darkened and he shouted lowly.
There are too many people here. If you want to save them all, everyone must be obedient.
This is difficult, but it has to be done, otherwise they may scream and attract bandits, which will be even more troublesome.
"Got it."
"Got it."
Wang Shiyu slowly came back to her senses.
I finally understood my situation.
All the women nodded again and again, their eyes full of desire for survival.
"Remember, no one can speak out."
Fang Yuan reminded again.
Then he looked at Li Danqiu standing aside.
Seeing so many people in need of rescue, Li Danqiu was worried that they would be discovered.
It’s just that she thinks the same as Fang Yuan and understands that it’s impossible to save him.
"Let's go."
Li Danqiu whispered.
Immediately open the door again.
Zheng Jiu and the others who were guarding the door breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this.
But after seeing so many women coming out, his expression suddenly changed.
"Don't think too much and retreat immediately."
Fang Yuan explained in a low voice.
Walking at the front with Li Danqiu in the night to lead the way.
The journey was going smoothly, but suddenly, there was a scream from behind the team.
A woman stumbled to the ground, wrestling and screaming.
"Who?"
The bandits on patrol suddenly heard a noise here and walked quickly towards here.
"Let's go!"
Fang Yuan shouted lowly.
Subconsciously, I grabbed Wang Shiyu and ran away.
Li Danqiu, Zheng Jiu and others also immediately quickened their pace to escape.
"Run away!"
The women panicked and ran away screaming.
In an instant, more bandit patrols discovered the situation here.
"Enemy attack!"
"Someone escaped!"
"Block the village gate immediately!"
Under the dark night, the firelight came quickly towards this direction.
More bandits appeared, and each house was lit up with fire.
"Change direction and run away this way!"
Li Danqiu cursed in his heart, "Damn it," and then stopped running towards the village gate.
Sure enough, I was worried that something would happen if there were too many people, but it happened.
Such a good escape opportunity was ruined.
Fang Yuan did not hesitate and pulled Wang Shiyu to follow Li Danqiu.
Zheng Jiu and others also followed. There are only five of them now.
"Wait for them!"
Wang Shiyu was pulled by Fang Yuan.
But I also think of the sisters behind me who share the same disease.
But Fang Yuan ignored her, threw her hand away and quickly followed Li Danqiu.
It's not that Fang Yuan doesn't want to take care of those women, but that he simply has no way to take care of them.
There are too many of them, more than all the pioneers this time, and they cannot be taken away.
And since someone fell down just now, they have started to wander around and run away.
If Wang Shiyu is willing to wait for them, then let her wait by herself.
Wang Shiyu's pupils shrank instantly, but she didn't expect Fang Yuan to let her hand go.
At that moment, her hair stood up on her back, her spine felt chilly, and she felt as if her life had been thrown away.
She was alert all over, waiting for those women's thoughts to be instantly replaced by fear, and followed Fang Yuan and the others.
"This way, this way, chase me!"
The cottage is completely noisy.
All the bandits appeared, chasing Fang Yuan's people everywhere.
Fang Yuan was running away with Li Danqiu and finally reached a blind corner.
"Damn, this place is blocked!"
Li Danqiu was shocked and angry.
She remembered that there was a door out here.
But now, this door has been blocked, blocked by trees standing there.
"What should I do?"
Fang Yuan asked breathlessly.
At this time, Zheng Jiu and Li Siwen also arrived.
Wang Shiyu followed at the end and finally caught up.
"We can only hide and wait for reinforcements."
Li Danqiu's face was calm, and he said in a deep voice as he listened to the footsteps of the bandits coming closer.
The only people we can rely on now are Huang Dada and the others who are on their way over.
"Here!"
Just at this time, Fang Yuan and others were discovered.
