Chapter 303 Tracking Gu
At the critical moment, Chu Yunxi felt her waist tighten, and the downward momentum suddenly stopped. Then her body flew up again, and soon, her feet stepped on the ground again.
Chu Yunxi was so frightened that her heart almost jumped out of her throat. After calming herself down, she asked, "Who are you? Where is this place?"
"It doesn't matter who I am. You just need to know that you can only stay here and can't go anywhere. And it's not your time to die yet, so don't seek death anymore. I may not be able to save you every time. Of course, if your husband doesn't want you to live, then I can't do anything about it."
"Are you Zhao Yuzhi's man?" Chu Yunxi asked.
The man walked without making any sound. Chu Yunxi heard his voice and he was already several meters away. He said, "You're not stupid."
Chu Yunxi understood, and she quickly analyzed her current situation. She couldn't see anything now, which was very disadvantageous to her. She didn't know what kind of environment she was in now.
Zhao Yuzhi ordered his men to abduct him simply to use him to threaten Xiao Mubei and ask Xiao Mubei to release Zhao Tingyu. However, Zhao Tingyu was the criminal of a serial rape and murder case. If he was released, it would be a disobedience of the imperial decree, and Xiao Mubei would be in danger of death.
You have to find a way to save yourself.
Chu Yunxi groped her way back to the previous bed and lay down again. According to her judgment, it should be the middle of the night now, and she should be in a cave or something like that. Her eyes did not hurt or itch, so there should be nothing wrong. It was probably because it was still dark. Now she could only wait until dawn to make any plans. Otherwise, she could not even see where the enemy was, and there was no possibility of saving herself at all.
Thinking of this, she closed her eyes and began to rest. She should be in no danger now. If that person wanted to kill her, he would not have saved her just now.
Moon-viewing Pavilion.
There were still two hours left before dawn, and Bai Yu had not brought anyone back yet, but Wen Rulan had returned, and he brought someone with him.
When Xiao Mubei saw Wen Rulan bringing Qingmei with her, he knew that there must be some discovery, so he hurried to greet her.
Qingmei rode on the same horse with Wen Rulan all the way and was almost vomited due to the shaking. She had just woken up and was very anxious when she learned that Chu Yunxi was missing. Wen Rulan happened to go back to check, so she immediately asked Wen Rulan to take her to find Xiao Mubei.
As soon as she saw Xiao Mubei, Qingmei ignored her own discomfort and quickly said to Xiao Mubei: "My lord, I can find the princess."
Xiao Mubei was excited and took a step forward. "What did you say?"
Qingmei looked up at Zhao Yuzhi and lowered her voice and said, "I put a tracking insect on the person who kidnapped the princess. We can find that person according to the guidance of the insect."
It turned out that Qingmei saw the person behind Hongyu from the opposite side of Hongyu, and she intuitively felt that something was wrong. She happened to have the tracking Gu in her hand at that time, so she released it without hesitation.
Xiao Mubei was overjoyed, "Let's go find the princess immediately."
He looked back at Zhao Yuzhi and told Zi Han and Li Jinghong, "After Zhao Tingyu is brought here, don't let Zhao Yuzhi see him first. Also, surround this place and don't let Zhao Yuzhi's people leave."
Zi Han and Li Jinghong agreed, and Xiao Mubei sent people to the capital to mobilize people, and then he left with Qingmei, Hei Mu and Wen Rulan.
The Gu that Qingmei raised was the tracking Gu, which was the most basic Gu insect for learning Gu magic. Its characteristics were that it was easy to raise and suitable for beginners. Its disadvantage was that it was useless except for tracking, but this was its greatest use now.
Xiao Mubei followed Qingmei and followed the guidance of the insect to Longyu Mountain, located west of the capital. Looking at the huge mountain in front of him, Xiao Mubei was a little confused. "This mountain is so big. Now there is only one hour left until dawn. Can we make it in time?"
Qingmei said: "According to the guidance of the Gu worm, we are now very close to the people who kidnapped the princess. It only takes about an incense stick of time to get there."
That meant that the person was not far from the foot of the mountain. Xiao Mubei understood, and several people immediately went into the mountain and followed the guidance of the insect to a cave.
Wen Rulan listened attentively for a while, then whispered to Xiao Mubei, "There are indeed two people inside."
Xiao Mubei asked Heimu to extinguish the torch and told Qingmei to hide outside the cave. He, Heimu and Wen Rulan entered the cave in the dark.
After entering, Xiao Mubei discovered that this was not just a cave. There seemed to be a whistling sound of wind coming from it, and there seemed to be many twists and turns inside. He walked very deep inside but still hadn't reached a place where there were people.
It was pitch black in front of them. There was no light at all. It was as if they had become blind after entering. The three of them relied on their extraordinary hearing to determine the direction. Wen Rulan had the strongest internal strength, so she heard the breathing of two people inside the cave from outside. Xiao Mubei and Hei Mu did not hear it until this moment.
Wen Rulan pulled Xiao Mubei and whispered in his ear, "We are not familiar with the terrain here, and it will be disadvantageous for us in the dark. When we go in, you light the fire, and I will deal with that person, and you and Hei Mu will save others."
Xiao Mubei nodded, and the three of them walked forward with light steps. They heard breathing sounds getting closer. Wen Rulan patted Xiao Mubei. Xiao Mubei already had the fire starter in his hand, so he immediately raised it up, and a flame suddenly appeared. At the same time, Wen Rulan had already moved.
As the fire lit up, Xiao Mubei finally got a rough idea of the environment he was in. It was a huge cave with two soft couches in the middle and a stone table with various fruits and snacks on it. It seemed extremely empty ahead, and the fire could only illuminate a limited range, so Xiao Mubei couldn't see clearly.
He didn't have time to take a closer look. From the quick glance just now, he had already seen that the person lying on one of the couches was Chu Yunxi.
But she had her eyes closed at the moment, so I didn't know if she was injured.
Wen Rulan pounced on another soft couch, on which lay an old man with half-white hair. He moved incredibly quickly, and although he did not realize someone had intruded until the tinderbox was lit, he actually jumped up when Wen Rulan pounced on him and barely avoided Wen Rulan's attack.
All this happened in a flash. Xiao Mubei also moved at this time. He flew towards Chu Yunxi. Just as his hand was about to touch the corner of Chu Yunxi's clothes, the old man suddenly appeared beside the couch like a ghost. He stretched out his long arm and pulled Chu Yunxi over, placed her in front of him, and choked her throat.
Everything happened so fast that Chu Yunxi finally woke up completely at this moment. She had just slept for a while, thinking that she should conserve her energy and think of a way to save herself when the day breaks. Unexpectedly, when she opened her eyes at this moment, she saw Xiao Mubei holding a fire starter and looking horrified in front of her. Then, she felt a pair of cold hands on her neck.
