Chapter 36: The Battle for People
Having made up their minds, Huan Yu and Xiao Bi took action immediately.
At dusk on the second day, they had already entered the territory of Longxi County.
After finding an inn and preparing to rest, Sang Pu came over.
Huan Yu walked over and opened the door, and heard him say that Yun Ling had been found.
Xiao Bi put on the boots she had just taken off and reached out to pick up the weapons placed on the table.
Huan Yu turned around and saw that she was ready, and smiled: "Aren't you tired?"
Xiao Bi raised her energetic face and said, "If you feel tired, just sleep here for a night. You will definitely see Yun Ling when you wake up early tomorrow morning."
"Xiaojiu actually wants to take advantage of such a good thing?"
While Huan Yu was joking, he had already tidied himself up.
The two walked out of the guest room, and the guards had already prepared their horses.
The group of people quickly got on their horses and galloped towards the northwest.
Half an hour later, it was completely dark.
The crescent moon in the sky was like a hook, but it was not enough to light the way forward. Several guards lit torches, but the speed was still not comparable to before.
Fortunately, Yun Ling's village is less than twenty miles away from here, so it won't take long to get there.
After walking for about ten miles, the road under our feet became narrower and narrower, and the terrain became somewhat uneven.
The group of people dismounted and continued walking towards the small village.
This place is located in a remote area, and the lives of the villagers are not rich.
Looking around, only one or two houses still have light.
After knocking on the door of one of the courtyards, they soon saw the woman tied to a tree in the center of the courtyard.
The light was too dim, and apart from her disheveled bun and thin figure, her appearance was completely unclear.
Sang Pu and Fengshou walked over holding torches, and the woman's appearance could be clearly seen instantly.
Xiao Bi and Huan Yu walked up to her together.
Yun Ling and Zhen's mother are similar in age, and are only in their thirties this year.
But her face was haggard, her eyes were dull, and her dark wheat-colored skin was covered with various lines. Some people who said she was Zhen's mother's elder believed her.
"You..." Yun Ling was very frightened: "Young master is the second young master of the Huan family?"
Without waiting for Huan Yu's reply, she murmured to herself: "It must be the second young master, he looks so similar..."
Huan Yu briefly looked at her and said to the middle-aged man waiting aside: "Uncle Chai, is she really Yun Ling?"
Not long after he was born, Yun Ling left the county government's mansion. Although her reaction did not seem to be fake, she must implement it clearly.
Uncle Chai is the companion of the Luo family to the Luo family, and is responsible for managing the farm.
After hearing Huan Yu's inquiry, he hurriedly said: "The villain went to the county town for business a few days ago and met Yun Ling by chance.
If the mole on her lip hadn't been so familiar, I wouldn't be sure for a moment."
Xiao Bidao looked at it carefully, and sure enough, there was a mole the size of a grain of rice at the left corner of the woman's lip.
There are many people with moles in this position, but her mole is red. Even if her skin color becomes much darker, it is still difficult to hide this unique color.
However, this uncle named Chai can recognize people he has not seen for decades at a glance. Is there a reason for this...
He shouldn't be thinking wildly at this time. Xiao Bi quickly gathered his thoughts and looked at Yun Ling again.
Huan Yu looked around the small courtyard and then said: "Xiaojiu, this is a private house. It's very inconvenient for us to do business. Let's take her back and interrogate her carefully."
With Xiao Bi's character, she was not willing to delay.
But this matter is too secretive for outsiders to know.
She nodded and said, "Okay, let's leave here now."
Huan Yu signaled the guards to untie Yun Ling, and everyone left the house.
There is one more person, but no free horses.
Sang Pu and Fengshou had no choice but to ride on the same horse and let the other horse out.
Yun Ling was tied tightly to the horse's back, her posture was extremely uncomfortable, but she remained silent.
The more Xiao Bi looked at it, the more her head hurt.
Brother Huan's mother is really not an ordinary person.
There were two maids beside her, but one was tougher than the other.
Soon they left the village, but they still could only lead their horses forward.
Returning to the flat area, everyone mounted their horses again.
After walking for more than two miles, a string of fire appeared in front of us, followed by the sound of horse hooves.
A guard stepped forward and raised his voice: "Who's in front?"
Soon the other party responded: "We are the guards of the county prince, but you are the second young master's people?"
"Exactly."
"The Duke is here to invite the second young master."
When they heard that Duke Huan was here, Xiao Pei and Huan Yu did not dare to delay, so they rode forward together.
Not long after, the two of them saw Duke Huan sitting on horseback.
"Father is well." The two of them got off their horses and saluted Duke Huan to say hello.
Duke Huan also dismounted and pointed to the open space not far away: "Let's go over there and talk."
The three of them soon arrived at the open space.
Duke Huan looked at the young couple: "Yu'er, Xiaojiu, are you here all night just for Yun Ling?"
Huan Yu felt strange and hurriedly asked: "Could it be that father also came here for her?"
Justice Huanjun said: "This person has been missing for eighteen years without any reason. It takes more than two days for my father to find her."
Xiao Bi was speechless secretly.
It seems that the Duke also has many doubts about Luo's life experience, but he has been unable to find any useful clues.
It's quite tragic to say that he fell in love with Luo and gave birth to a son, but he didn't even know the other person's life experience.
After all, she and Brother Huan still have the antidote in their hands. If they follow the clues, there will always be roots. The Duke...
But Huan Yu said again: "Father, this is not the place to talk. We might as well take Yun Ling back and interrogate him carefully."
Duke Huan said in a deep voice: "Where do you plan to take her, to the mansion or to the camp?"
Huan Yu thought for a while: "Compared to the mansion, this place is much closer to the camp. Moreover, there are many people in the mansion talking and doing things is not as convenient as the camp."
Huanjun said, "Both places are not good, we have to find another place."
Huan Yu raised his eyebrows. It was clear that his father could not even trust his grandfather.
