The surrounding guards all regard themselves as air. Although they are everywhere, they try their best to be completely invisible to others.
Su Jingxing didn't answer, and went directly over there to get the purified water he brought with him and gave it to Jiu'er before sitting down next to the fire again.
He frowned slightly and occasionally flicked the fire.
Jiu'er drank water and stared at him with crooked eyes.
He looked openly and openly. Although he was not teasing or frivolous, his eyes did carefully trace the other person's features.
Surrounding guards: "..."
If anyone else looked at the Lord like this, the body would be completely cold by now.
The culprit was still sighing, "Su Jingxing, you are so beautiful."
Guard: "..."
Amidst the occasional chirping of insects in the mountains and wild fields, the firewood crackled occasionally. Jiu'er, who had eaten and drank enough, began to feel drowsy as he watched.
After she fell asleep completely because she felt more at ease with the people around her, a snow-white robe that still carried Su Jingxing's body temperature gently covered her body.
Although Su Jingxing's movements were very gentle, Jiuer's keen eyesight almost instinctively opened.
Unexpectedly, Jiu'er caught his eye and made a sly face like "I caught you" as a conditioned reflex while his mind was still awake.
Su Jingxing was startled for a moment, then chuckled.
I just feel like my mood suddenly becomes brighter.
The cheerful color in his eyes was exaggerated like light ink, becoming the most unreal throbbing in the world.
It was unbelievable that such emotions could appear in his eyes.
Jiu'er's body was really tired.
After making a face, he fell asleep again.
During this sleep, I didn't let myself fall asleep all the time.
Half an hour later, the sky was bright.
Jiu'er slowly opened his eyes and saw Su Jingxing not far away.
Jiuer blinked and glanced at the sky.
He stood up and stretched, and said with a smile, "Su Jingxing, shall we set off now? Both the man and the horse are almost rested."
Su Jingxing looked at her, with invisible tenderness in his eyes, "I'll have someone take you back to Zhuangzi first, and leave the rest to me."
Why do you say such things again?
Jiuer smiled and said, "Su Jingxing, I'm really not that squeamish. Don't look at me like this. In fact, when I was young, I was left in the wilderness from time to time for several days."
"I was still alone at that time. I had to take care of myself when it came to eating and drinking, and there were poisonous insects and ferocious beasts around me. I was fine. Let's go, let's go."
Jiu'er said casually, but Su Jingxing's guards were shocked when they heard it.
Miss Ah Jiu seems to have an extraordinary background, but she actually has such... experience?
But then I felt that it wasn't that surprising?
Although Miss Ah Jiu looks delicate and soft, her resilience and brightness along the way really make all the grown men admire her.
Jiu'er said again, "Okay, okay, let's find it quickly. If we find it sooner, we can go back and rest sooner."
There was a complex silence in Su Jingxing's eyes that Jiu'er hadn't seen.
Jiuer directly picked him up and left immediately.
Next it was another half day of hiking over mountains and ridges.
The guards became more cautious and alert as they walked.
This area is a barren mountain, usually inaccessible, but with dense woods and complex terrain, it is the best place to set up an ambush!
Soon, the horse can no longer be ridden.
Jiuer said curiously as he walked, "But there is something that I always find a little strange."
Knowing that his master talked little, the accompanying guard answered the call very consciously and chatted with Jiu'er, "Miss Ajiu, what's weird?"
"They are the people behind the abduction of those girls. If they were deliberately targeting your Su family, why did they have to abduct the girls?"
"I saw many children in the village. There were boys and girls. There were also teenagers about the same age as the girls who were kidnapped. Why were they just girls?"
Su Jingxing, who was silently protecting Jiu'er, said, "In the past three months, there have been several incidents of girls 'disappearing for no reason' in several villages not far from those two villages."
Jiuer tilted his head, "Same technique?"
Su Jingxing shook his head slightly, "The techniques are different, but the effect is similar. And those girls have nothing to do with the Su Mansion."
Jiuer frowned slightly, "Looking at it this way, are these girls in the Su family a coincidence?"
But she rarely believes in coincidences.
Everything has a reason, even many true coincidences have causes.
But Jiu'er didn't think too deeply about it. It was important to find someone first.
The group continued to search and took two more breaks in the process. Finally, when the sun was about to set, Jiu'er saw the 'Holy Bee' enter a cave, then come out quickly, and stop flying.
Jiu'er affirmed, "The person is in the cave."
Su Jingxing's guards looked stern.
Jiu'er added, "However, except for those missing girls, there may not be anyone else."
Su Jingxing's guards were horrified.
Did Miss Ah Jiu draw this conclusion from the blood-colored bee she raised?
In the end, Jiu'er, Su Jingxing and half of the guards stayed outside, while half of the guards went in first.
They were not kept waiting for too long. Soon, the excited voices of the guards who entered were heard.
"Lord, they are still alive!"
Jiu'er's eyes lit up, it's good to be alive!
The two missing girls from Zhuangzi add up to a total of eight people, and they are all here!
The guards carried the people out. Jiuer took a quick look and said, "They were just hit by a kind of ecstasy, and then they couldn't eat or drink in the past few days, and they were a little dehydrated. They are not life-threatening. You can feed them a little bit first."
syrup."
All the guards were very happy. According to Jiu'er's words, they mixed some sugar water and force-fed the girls.
This kind of Ecstasy was not difficult to detoxify, but Jiuer did not detoxify them on the spot.
After all, their current situation has been detoxified and it is even more uncomfortable for passers-by who are sober.
After being comatose for a few days without eating or drinking, it is best to lie down to recover after just waking up.
A guard was reporting to Su Jingxing, "My lord, there isn't even an ambush inside, and there aren't many traces left. It's more like they were thrown here in a hurry."
But since the person was kidnapped, he would definitely not be thrown here for no reason.
Su Jingxing's eyes were dark, "Bring the person back to Zhuangzi first."
The guards carried the unconscious girls on their backs, and the group walked back.
Although the return journey is not rushed, it is not very slow either.
I only stopped three times to rest, and occasionally fed the unconscious girls a little sugar water.
At noon the next day, the group returned to Zhuangzi.
This time Jiu'er didn't need Su Jingxing to say anything. After giving him a packet of powder that could cure Ecstasy, he found a room and fell asleep.
When Jiu'er slept, the sky was really dark and the earth was dark, and he slept for a whole day and night.
When Jiuer woke up, she didn't see the rescued girls or their families, so she didn't ask any questions.
The next day, Su Jingxing and his party left Zhuangzi and returned to Kyoto.
When leaving Zhuangzi, Su Jingxing looked at Zhuangtou. Although he didn't say anything, Zhuangtou's expression already understood.
Zhuangtou's lips trembled slightly and he said, "My lord, take care."
Jiu'er, who was leaning on the carriage next to him, squinted his eyes lazily, smiled and said, "Uncle Zhuangtou, with your tone, why do you say goodbye and never see me again?"
Zhuangtou lowered his head and said nothing.
Jiuer clicked his tongue and looked at Su Jingxing, "Su Jingxing, don't blame Uncle Zhuangtou for punishing him. He begged me for help at that time, which is not moral kidnapping. As long as you are a normal and responsible person, you will give it a try when you see hope.
.”
"He didn't involve me. If I don't want to," she narrowed her eyes and smiled innocently, "the Emperor can't force me."
Zhuangtou's pupils tightened, Miss Ah Jiu, she had guessed it all?!
Jiuer smiled and said, "Uncle Zhuangtou is quick to respond and reliable and neat in his work. I think it's pretty good."
Zhuangtou's lips trembled even more, but he still couldn't say a word.
Jiu'er waved his hand, turned around and got on the carriage, "Goodbye, Uncle Zhuangtou. Of course, it's Su Jingxing's business how to deal with you. I'm just telling you my opinion, hahahaha~ Don't feel guilty or thank me.
"
As soon as he finished speaking, he had already entered the carriage, chose a comfortable position to sit down, and continued to close his eyes and rest his mind.
She felt that she could sleep for three more days!
As for the people behind the abduction of those girls, let Su Jingxing worry about it.
After all, Su Jingxing must have known that it was unusual early on, right?
Otherwise, no matter how well the master treats his subordinates, he would not be able to personally rush to a small village to investigate and find the person when several villagers are missing, right?
Meanwhile, Kyoto.
Jinchao Building.
A secret guard came to Duan Rong again. (To be continued)
