Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 436
Chapter 436 Shattered Silver Lead
After discussing with Zhou Jingxu, Rong Ruo fell to the ground and pretended to be dizzy. When Jiang Li saw this, he only gave them a cold glance, but did not intend to go up to help.
The corners of his mouth rose slightly, then he walked forward and kicked the small stones away.
Because of Zhou Jingxu’s pretending to be dizzy, the array eyes disappeared, and the array formation was already weak. With a kick from the little stone, the entire array formation was completely broken.
The chubby-cheeked man and a few burly men finally walked out of the formation. However, everyone’s expressions were very ugly.
Not only did his expression turn ugly, there were also a few who were cursing, “What the hell is this? I didn’t expect it to be so powerful.”
“That child is too scary. If someone finds out, they will definitely kill him …”
Before he could finish his sentence, he discovered that the formation had been broken. Even though he laughed happily, “Hahaha, the labor force actually came out!”
After laughing, he looked around and saw that Zhou Jingxu had fainted to the side. Immediately, someone wanted to kick him fiercely. However, before he could walk over, he heard a series of hurried and messy footsteps coming from nearby. He could tell from the sound that there were quite a few people coming.
The cheeked man’s expression changed drastically. If he didn’t leave now, he wouldn’t be able to leave. He immediately said, “Quick, let’s go. Bring the two children with us.”
Immediately, a man walked over and kicked Zhou Jingxu. He immediately carried Zhou Jingxu up.
When Jiang Li saw this, he immediately stepped forward and spontaneously carried Rong Ruo up.
Only then did the man remember that Jiang Li had just released them. He frowned and was puzzled in his heart. Jiang Li had been kidnapped by them. Under the situation just now, there was no one to guard him, so why didn’t he run away? Instead, he had to save them?
Moreover, Jiang Li was still following them?
No matter how he looked at it, he felt that it was a little strange.
The man snorted coldly and walked to Jiang Li’s side. He said loudly, “What just happened? Did you crack that thing?” He didn’t know what had just trapped them.
Jiang Li only glanced at the man with cheeks and said, “I didn’t crack it.”
“Then who cracked it? And did you see what hit me just now?” The chubby-cheeked man also cared about this and narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression unfriendly.
“I don’t know. I didn’t see what happened. You went into the formation, and the child fell down. The child I carried rushed over because I was worried about you. I didn’t expect that he would also fall.” Jiang Li could only give an excuse when he saw this.
Jiang Li’s words were quite consistent with the scene they saw when they came out, so the face of the man with cheeks was filled with a trace of belief. However, thinking about the pursuers behind him, he had no choice but to think for a long time, “Then why didn’t you run?”
Jiang Li’s lips curled into a faint smile. However, there was not a trace of warmth in the smile, His entire body was icy cold. Even his voice unconsciously carried a bit of coldness. “Do you think that with my current appearance, I can really escape from your hands? Besides, this person known as the Ninth Prince has already sent someone to invite the officials. Even if I leave now, how many people believe me?”
After hearing Jiang Li’s words, the chubby-cheeked man analyzed in his heart and understood what was going on. “You’re smart. At least you don’t have to worry about eating and drinking with us. But if you get caught by the government, it’ll be a life-long prison disaster. It seems like you’re not foolish yet.”
Jiang Li snorted coldly and continued walking forward with Rong Ruo on his back.
The man with cheeks had already completely believed Jiang Li’s words. He said to Jiang Li in a deep voice, “Alright, follow us in the future. As long as there is food for me, I will definitely not let you starve.”
When Jiang Li saw this, he stopped and cupped his hands towards the man with cheeks. Then, he stopped talking.
However, his attitude made the man with cheeks look at him differently.
The few of them quickly ran forward and soon disappeared.
Behind him, Eunuch Cai took the Ninth Prince’s token and went to find the nearest officer and soldier. After showing the token he had taken, he brought the officers and soldiers over. Who knew that they were still a step too late? After arriving at the place, they had already disappeared from Zhou Jingxu’s sight.
His face immediately turned deathly pale with fright. What should he do now? He had lost the Ninth Prince. If he couldn’t find the Ninth Prince for a while, it was because the Ninth Prince was a little surprised that he didn’t have a life when he returned to the Imperial Palace.
Thinking of this, he immediately broke out in cold sweat.
“Hurry up and find the Ninth Prince. If we can’t find the Ninth Prince, our heads won’t be safe!”
With Eunuch Cai’s words, all the officers and soldiers who came along for the interview changed slightly. However, the governor of the capital also rushed over at this moment.
Of course, the Yun Family and Rong Jin were also rushing over with the governor.
Eunuch Cai first met the governor of the capital, then he saw that Yun Xiao was also here. Even though he said loudly, “Greetings, county princess.”
Yun Xiao was still a little unaccustomed to this address, but she also knew that the people who came out of the palace cared about these things the most, so she nodded and asked him to get up.
After Eunuch Cai stood up, he cried and said with a face, “I beg the county princess for help. The ninth prince has been kidnapped.”
Zhou Jingxu?
When Yun Xiao saw Eunuch Cai, she already knew that today’s matter was definitely unusual, but she really did not know how unusual it was.
When he heard Eunuch Cai say that Zhou Jingxu had also disappeared, his expression changed drastically. “How did the Ninth Prince disappear?”
When Eunuch Cai saw this, he could only tell Yun Xiao everything they had just experienced. After listening to it, Yun Xiao’s brows tightly joined together again. “You mean, there’s still a child? How old is that child?”
Eunuch Cai was in a hurry to find reinforcements, so he didn’t know what happened afterwards. “I’m about four or five years old. I don’t know if they were friends or enemies.”
Yun Xiao’s brows furrowed tightly. She knew that this was not the time to worry, so she tried her best to calm herself down and properly analyze this matter. Just who was it that was actually with the human traffickers?
After listening to Eunuch Cai’s words, Rong Jin, who was beside her, stepped forward to hold Yun Xiao’s small hand and whispered, “Ruo Ruo Ruo, you.”
“What?” This time, Yun Xiao widened her eyes in surprise.
Ruo Ruo, Brother Han, and Zhou Jingxu were all captured?
Inexplicably, Yun Xiao’s heart became even more panicked, feeling somewhat at a loss.
“Don’t worry, since Ruo Ruo is here, Brother Han and the others will definitely be fine.” Rong Ruo grew up with him, so no one knows more about Rong Ruo’s abilities than him.
There were only a few traffickers. If they wanted to escape, there was naturally no need to say anything. Furthermore, despite Eunuch Cai’s words, if Rong Ruo was not kidnapped, he should have followed him voluntarily. As for the man dressed in a rainy robe, it should be Jiang Li. With him here, Brother Han and the others would definitely not be in trouble.
After Yun Xiao heard Rong Jin’s words, she also heaved a sigh of relief. However, she still kicked tightly in her heart. When she did not see them safe, Yun Xiao did not dare to relax. “No matter what, let’s go find them first and talk about it.”
She did not know what Rong Ruo’s kung fu was like, but she treated Rong Ruo as a child. Ruo Ruo and Brother Han were still young, and if they saw something they could not see, it would affect their growth in the future.
As for Zhou Jingxu, he was a reincarnated person and had a powerful formation protecting him. Naturally, there was nothing wrong with him. Therefore, Yun Xiao was the only one who felt relieved about Zhou Jingxu.
“Let’s find out first. Do you have any clues? Let’s hurry up and find them as well.” Yun Xiao also followed the crowd to investigate if there were any clues left behind. However, before she could take a few steps, she heard Eunuch Cai’s pleasantly surprised voice. She said loudly, “Here, His Highness the Ninth Prince has left a clue here.”
Everyone went over to take a look and saw a piece of broken silver where Eunuch Cai was pointing. Eunuch Cai also said directly, “This must be left behind by His Highness the Ninth Prince. We should be able to find a lot of silver if we keep searching along this line.”
The corners of everyone’s mouths twitched slightly. They had never seen anyone mark them with silver before! Was he disgusting that he had too much silver?
This waste of money caused everyone to scoff. “If someone else picked up the silver, wouldn’t they be unable to find any clues?” Speaking of which, he really didn’t like the idea of using silver to guide the way.
Eunuch Cai snorted coldly and said sternly, “Your Highness the ninth prince has nothing on him except a little bit of silver. Don’t tell me you want His Highness the ninth prince to drip blood! Besides, even if you use blood to guide the way, you won’t be able to see it in this dark night.”
Silver was, after all, silver. Under the faint moonlight, it could be reflected faintly. Therefore, even in the dark night, the silver was still very easy to recognize.
Eunuch Cai’s words left everyone speechless. They had to admit that what he said was right. This was the truth.
Yun Xiao frowned. He immediately said, “Alright, it’s good that we have something to guide us. Forget about it. Let’s find the person first. Now let’s follow this clue. If we can find the person, then it’s naturally a good thing. Stop arguing. If we find the person later, we should be careful. We must not attract the attention of those traffickers,” Yun Xiao finally understood. Brother Han was captured by someone. He must have been captured in the stronghold of the human traffickers by now, but Ruoruo and Zhou Jingxu must be willing to go.
If they were lucky, Ruoruo and Zhou Jingxu should be able to find Brother Han’s whereabouts in the strongholds of the traffickers and save Brother Han.
Thinking of this, Yun Xiao was completely relieved.
