The sky outside was completely dark, and it was snowing. The snow was not big, but the cold wind of the winter night was bitingly cold, and the blowing snowflakes hurt his face.

Chun Xing was afraid that Gu Yuqi would be cold. Don't forget to take a deerskin cloak from the inn and put it on Gu Yuqi. There is an open space in the inn, and now it has been occupied by the tents set up by the servants of the various prefectures.

Chun Xing held Gu Yuqi with one hand, held an umbrella for Gu Yuqi with the other, and warned her from time to time that she would fall.

"By the way, eldest brother likes horses, will he go to the stables behind the inn?" Gu Yuqi asked.

"I've searched for it. The people watching the horses said they've seen them, but Miss San thinks it doesn't taste good there, so they went to the front after playing for a while." Chun Xing almost popped her head in the snow. sweat. She also doesn't like Second Young Master and Third Young Lady, but if she really loses it, not to mention her conscience. Concubine Liu couldn't explain it, she didn't know how to make trouble with her own wife.

"Don't worry, don't worry." Gu Yuqi was also worried. But now I can only speak to comfort Chun Xing. "You go back and talk to your mother first, don't make a sound, ask your father if he knows where they went and who is with him, and if his father doesn't know either, then ask his mother to let all the servants who come with him go out to find it. The town is not big, and although the two of them are naughty, they shouldn't run too far on a snowy day."

"Yes." Gu Yuqi's well-organized arrangement made Chun Xing's heart a little more settled, and she saluted, "What about the lady?"

"Don't worry, I know the way, I'll go and look for it along the way." Gu Yuqi pointed her hand forward, "If you can't find it, I will come back by myself."

"But Miss, although this is a town, who knows what will happen. Second Young Master and Third Young Lady are gone, if it were you." After she finished speaking, she pooh-pooh three times, "Look at this crow's mouth."

"You can go back to your mother. I promise not to get lost." Gu Yuqi patted the back of Chun Xing's hand, "Just give me the umbrella, there are wind lights everywhere in this town, I won't get lost. Oops, stop dawdling. Hurry up."

Chun Xing knew that Gu Yuqi was smart, and also knew that it was important to find the second son and the third young lady, so she warned Gu Yuqi a few more words, and then walked quickly into the inn.

Gu Yuqi held an umbrella and walked towards the road she pointed. She remembered that there was a City God Temple at the end of the road.

Along the way, Gu Yuqi didn't meet anyone from the town, and every household was closed, but there were many yamen from the county patrolling back and forth to ensure the safety of these nobles from the capital. Gu Yuqi had no choice but to ask them. They saw that Gu Yuqi was beautiful and dressed gorgeously, so they all replied respectfully. Unfortunately, no one has seen the two Gu Siyang brothers and sisters. Strange! Can this big living person be lost for nothing? When I arrived at the inn, I saw Gu Siyang and Gu Siyu fighting each other. She went all the way to the end of the road, and the Temple of the City God was still there. It's just different from what she remembered. In the last life, the Temple of the City God was rebuilt. Although it can't be described as splendid, it can be regarded as a carved beam.

"Gu Siyang, Gu Siyu, are you inside?" Gu Yuqi shouted from outside the temple, the darkness inside was silent, only the cold wind at night blew through the broken windows and made a slightly sharp whistle. , can not help but make people have a creepy feeling.

"Don't be naughty, if you are inside, hurry out!" Gu Yuqi called out again, but no one answered. Gu Siyang and Gu Siyu should not have the courage to touch the dark temple.

Gu Yuqi waited for a while, and was about to walk away when she heard a faint whine from inside. The sound was very small, barely audible in the whistling cold wind. I'm afraid I can't hear it.

"Gu Siyang? Is that you?" Gu Yuqi didn't care too much, she picked up the skirt and stepped over the threshold as high as her calf.

The sound seemed to come from the courtyard behind the temple.

Gu Yuqi remembered that when she came here before, there was a large release pool behind the temple, a rockery outside the release pool, and a large well behind the rockery.

The well was dry. At that time, she was curious and researched why there was water in the release pool, but there was no water in the well.

Gu Siyang and Gu Siyu would not have fallen there.

It was very dark inside the temple, and the light from the wind lanterns outside could only illuminate the front half of the front hall. Tonight was a snowy night. There was no moonlight or starlight.

Gu Yuqi couldn't see anything, so she could only walk based on her previous memory of this place. She stumbled and bumped into some debris scattered in the temple from time to time, causing her knees and legs to hurt.

"Gu Siyang, Gu Siyu! Are you guys in there?" Gu Yuqi finally walked to the backyard of the main hall with difficulty, and almost tripped over the high threshold again. Her short legs really hurt her. But when you go outside, you can still vaguely see the road with the wind lanterns on the street. Gu Yuqi carefully walked over the small bridge over the release pond and approached the dry well.

Woohoo, it's getting close now, Gu Yuqi can hear it clearly, and someone's voice came from the dry well.

Gu Yuqi's heart was a little fuzzy, but she bravely walked over, "Who's in there?" Under the weak light, the entrance to the dry well was like a monster's mouth that grew up in the dark.

"Woo woo!" The voice came out again, he heard Gu Yuqi's voice, so he called a few more times.

"Why don't you speak?" Gu Yuqi cautiously approached the well, wondering if she should probe into it or not. This snowy night is pitch-black. If something pops up in the well, it's not to be embarrassed. All terrified.

Just when Gu Yuqi was still concentrating on whether or not to probe closer to the well, she heard a cold voice behind her, "Be careful!"

Gu Yuqi turned her head instinctively. Before she could see clearly, she felt a gust of wind pressing down from the top of her head. Before she could fully react, she was enveloped in a black cloth pocket. Just as Gu Yuqi was about to scream, she was tapped twice with her finger, her body was numb, she couldn't move, and she couldn't even make a sound.

Gu Yuqi struggled desperately, she couldn't see outside, but she could hear it.

"You are really brave. There are so many officers and soldiers patrolling outside, and you dare to kidnap people here." Then there was the sound of a hidden weapon breaking through the air, and someone grunted twice, as if they were hit by a hidden weapon.

I go! There was a bit of sarcasm in this cold voice, wasn't it Yun Ke?

Then Gu Yuqi was thrown to the ground ruthlessly, and she was covered in a black cloth pocket with gold stars in her eyes, but she felt that the mouth of the pocket was loose, and she hurriedly crawled out of the pocket.

"Let's go!" In the darkness, the two dark figures saw that they had lost their chance, and said something secretly. The two of them left Gu Yuqi and jumped over the back wall of the Temple of the City God.

"Stupid!" Yun Ke's voice came through the black cloth bag.

You are stupid! Your whole family is stupid! Gu Yuqi scolded in her stomach, but now she can't move her whole body, so she can only hold her corpse in a black cloth bag.

Pretty fit! Don't you mean to never see each other forever? Yun Ke's skill is relatively deep, so his eyes are better than Gu Yuqi's in the dark.

He first walked to the well, looked inside, and then threw a stone down. The people in the well were immediately beaten to their sleeping holes by him, and the whining stopped abruptly.

"It's really going back the more I live!" Yun Ke couldn't help scolding, "Don't you know how to ask someone to accompany you when you enter this kind of place?" He took two steps forward, took out the fire book, led it, and then squatted on the ground. Next to the black cloth bag holding Gu Yuqi, the rope tied to the mouth of the black cloth bag was opened.

If he hadn't followed silently just now, wouldn't this stupid woman be kidnapped by the thieves!

The cloth bag was pulled open from the outside, and then Gu Yuqi felt that when someone picked up the cloth bag and fell, she was thrown out of the bag like cargo, and she was in pain again. Yun Ke! You deliberately! Gu Yuqi couldn't move or speak, she could only go crazy in her heart.

Seeing that Gu Yuqi was poured out, Yun Ke stood up with a smile but not a smile, and kicked Gu Yuqi's calf with his toes, "You're not dead."

You are going to die! Gu Yuqi raised her eyes and looked fiercely at the black-clothed boy standing in front of her.

"Angry?" Yun Ke seemed to be in a good mood. He crossed his arms and looked at Gu Yuqi condescendingly, "I saved you again, how do you want to repay me?"

Repay your big head! How far is it to die for Lao Tzu! Gu Yuqi was clamoring in her heart, and now she can't speak, she can only stare at Yun Ke, at this moment, she is already mad, and she is actually lazy to pretend.

What is rescuing! Where did it come from again!

Yun Ke seemed to see through Gu Yuqi's thoughts, just smiled and leaned down, lowered his voice in Gu Yuqi's ear and said, "I saved you twice today. The first time you were at the inn, you were questioned why you were with him. I'm alone." He reminded her softly.

No wonder Yun Yi suddenly said that, it turned out to be Yun Ke's request. This kind of thing is naturally more convincing to say it from the mouth of the fifth prince.

Gu Yuqi stared at Yun Ke, her eyes rolled around, motioning for him to unlock the acupuncture points for herself.

In the last life, Yun Ke's martial arts were unfathomable, so he always regarded Gu Yuqi's two strokes as flower fists and embroidered legs.

He deliberately didn't unlock the acupoints for himself, this fellow is too hateful!

After he finished speaking, he was not in a hurry to straighten his body, but looked at Gu Yuqi from a close distance, his eyes seemed to be depicting the outline of Gu Yuqi's face, and he wanted to see every inch of her face. .

Gu Yuqi's whole body was hairy when he saw him, and she wanted to jump up and punch him, but she couldn't move, so she could only let him look at herself from head to toe, Gu Yuqi only felt that Yun Ke's eyes were like the snake of a poisonous snake. The letter frightened her.

It turns out that this dead woman was really beautiful, although she is still young, but these eyebrows, this face, these lips... The eyes of the little man in front of him were on fire, and in the beating flames of the fire, they were unusually alive. Vivid, it reminded him of her alluring dance in the firelight in the previous life.

His heart seemed to be suddenly caught by something, and he shrank tightly, just like when he saw the two men in black covering her with cloth bags and trying to take her away. He didn't even think about saving her. If it was someone else, he should quietly follow behind and find out the truth behind it at one fell swoop. As for the life and death of the kidnapped people, it seems that it has nothing to do with him, but these people actually dare to be powerful and powerful in the whole town. Under the circumstances, he was a bit daring to kidnap people. It was worth checking. He was really impulsive!

"You owe me. I'll take it back slowly." Yun Ke suddenly smiled slowly, like a short-lived flower that bloomed in the night, and it was splendid and soul-stirring. He raised his finger and touched Gu Yuqi's brow lightly, "Remember me well."

She owed him a lot, even if nothing else was counted, even if she only had a few decades of lingering dreams in her previous life, it was enough for her to pay off for a while.

When he stood up straight, his face was as cold as ever. He heard footsteps from outside the temple. He first used a stone to untie the sleeping hole of the man in the well, and then jumped to hide his figure in the night. In the darkness, if it weren't for the shallow footprints of his footprints in the snow on the ground, as well as the fire book he left behind, Gu Yuqi would feel as if he had never appeared before.

Chun Xing's shouts came from outside the temple, Gu Yuqi's thoughts moved, and she couldn't help but scolded Yun Ke again, and she didn't know how to help her unlock the acupuncture points! This is going to make trouble like that!

She couldn't move, couldn't respond to Chun Xing's voice, and was so anxious that she couldn't even scratch her cheeks, so she couldn't help scolding Yun Ke from head to toe. Jin Li's younger brother.

On the other hand, the one in the well began to woo woo for help again. Although the voice was small, it still had some effect. Chun Xing obviously heard the voice and came in with a lantern. Liang Huaiyu and two guards brought from Jiangnan.

Seeing Gu Yuqi lying by the well, Liang Huaiyu was so frightened that she almost fainted, she hurriedly rushed to Gu Yuqi's side, helped Gu Yuqi up, checked her up and down, and asked eagerly, "What's wrong with you, nan? "

"It seems that Miss has been acupointed." Chun Xing saw clearly, raised her hand and tapped Gu Yuqi twice, Gu Yuqi let out a sigh of relief, "Mother, I'm fine, find someone to see what's in the well. "

Chun Xing immediately asked the two guards to look into the dry well under the light, while Mrs. Liang pulled Gu Yuqi and wanted to scold her, but she couldn't bear it. There were more footsteps outside. She wanted to ask why Gu Yuqi fell here. , and there was a black cloth bag next to it, and it was even more point-pointed. However, I am afraid that people will talk too much, and it is not good to spread something random. She can only bear it temporarily. She has already checked and Gu Yuqi has no other damage except that the clothes are a little dirty, not even the clothes. She used the fastest speed to straighten Gu Yuqi's messy hair, so that no one could see any clues.

"Madam Hui, the one in the well is the servant of our house." Chun Xing had already looked into the well and was taken aback. She asked the two guards to bring the person up, and she came over to report back.

At this time, Gu Huaizhong also hurriedly led some of the housekeepers and guards over. Before he came in, he shouted outside the door, "Madam, Chun Xing, have you found Siyang and Siyu?"

Mr. Liang could not wait to go up and give him a slap. At the beginning, he boldly said that he would take care of Siyang and Siyu by himself. It was nothing more than Mrs. Liu who blew the wind in his ear. child? Let those two children be wronged secretly! Well, if he wants to take it, let him take it, and if you have a spare time, where did you take the child!

Now Siyang Siyu is gone, and even Gu Yuqi has been missing for a moment. He is good, shouting, and he doesn't ask Gu Yuqi if he has found it, but only asks Gu Siyang and Gu Siyu. In his eyes, there are only those two The child was his own, did Gu Yuqi pick it up?

Seeing that her mother's beautiful eyes were full of anger, Gu Yuqi hurriedly took Liang's hand, "Mother, it's more important to find Gu Siyang and Gu Siyu first."

Now is not the time to be angry with Gu Huaizhong. Mr. Liang rolled up the black cloth bag and hid it before the others came in.

Gu Huaizhong didn't have to take a moment to bring people here. There were many people and great strength. After a while, he got the servant at the bottom of the well, but he saw that he was **** with five flowers and a cloth towel was still in his mouth, so he was only at the bottom of the well. Can make a whimpering sound.

"Where are the second son and the third young lady?" Gu Huaizhong was really anxious, and kicked the pitiful servant to the ground, "Ben Hou told you to follow them, how did you follow them!"

That Jia Ding was really going to be wronged to death, and the anger of being kicked was almost exhausted, so he clutched his chest and said in a hurry, "Second Young Master and Third Young Lady came here and insisted on coming in to see, the little one didn't care. The only way is to follow them in, but who knows that as soon as they come in, they will be knocked unconscious, and they will be tied and thrown into the well. If the eldest lady hadn't come over, the little one would have frozen to death here today. "

"Did you see your brother and sister when you came?" Gu Huaizhong remembered Gu Yuqi and asked hurriedly.

Gu Yuqi shook her head, "My daughter didn't see it."

"By the way, when the eldest lady came over, the little one seemed to hear the sound of fighting." The Ding added. "Xiao was so frightened that she fainted. When Xiao woke up, Sister Chun Xing had already brought someone to look for him, and then Xiao continued to struggle for help." Where did he faint from fright? Yun Ke was dizzy, Gu Yuqi was embarrassed to say it.

"Ah?" Gu Huaizhong was startled, "You were also attacked?"

This... Gu Yuqi didn't know how to get back for a while. Seeing that more and more people came out, she couldn't say in front of so many people that it was Yun Ke who saved her and drove away two masked men in black. She had already been questioned once in the inn why she was alone with Yun Ke in the princess' courtyard, and only then was Yun Yi cleaned up. If she told the truth, she would inevitably be suspicious again.

"Father, can you go back and talk about it?" Gu Yuqi whispered. "You first send someone to follow the footsteps outside the courtyard wall to see if you find anything. Those two people who wanted to kidnap their daughter should have been injured." Otherwise, they wouldn't give up the plan so easily and run away in a hurry .

At that time, although Gu Yuqi couldn't see or move, she heard the two men in black say a word to withdraw, and there was a bit of pain in their voices. It should be that Yun Ke hit them with some hidden weapon.

Liang Shi immediately asked herself to chase out the two guards she brought from Jiangnan. She couldn't trust the people who Gu Huaizhong brought. Gu Huaizhong also jumped over the wall and chased out.

"Go back to the inn first." Mr. Liang was afraid that outsiders would come in and cause trouble, so he said decisively.

When she took Gu Yuqi and Chun Xing out of the ruined temple, there were already housekeepers and guards from various prefectures on the street helping Gu Huaizhong to find people. The guards that Ke brought were mixed for a while.

After returning to the inn's room, Gu Yuqi told the story again, but she didn't say that the person who saved her was Yun Ke, just said that she was an unknown person. He beat the person who kidnapped her and went outside. After chasing it out, Liang Shi and Chun Xing came after him.

This... dare to kidnap people at this time, this trafficker has eaten the gall of a bear and a leopard.

"Don't worry, mother." Gu Yuqi thought about it carefully, "My daughter thinks this is very strange."

"What kind of weird method?" Mr. Liang asked.

"How did they know that the eldest brother and the third sister would go to that ruined temple? Are they waiting there specially?" Gu Yuqi kept thinking about this question on the way back to the inn.

And the person who arrests himself is obviously ready. He just waits for the opportunity to start. It seems to be aimed at the three brothers and sisters, not the sons and young ladies of other houses. If they are ordinary traffickers who shoot flowers, let alone So many princes and nobles dare not act in front of them, even if they dare, how can they be so purposeful? How can there be so many coincidences that the people who are arrested are all from the Dingyuan Houfu?

"Has father offended anyone?" Gu Yuqi asked.

"You mean it's aimed at our mansion?" Liang Huaiyu frowned, and thought about it carefully, but she didn't have any clue.

Gu Huaizhong is a new noble in the court, even if he offends other nobles in the court, it will not be so serious that he will kidnap all his children.

If it wasn't for the people in the DPRK, who would it be?

Liangshi thought hard while changing Gu Yuqi's clothes and re-dressing. Gu Yuqi was also thinking, so the room was quiet for a while.

Gu Yuqi froze outside for a while, her hands and feet were cold, and the Liang family ordered someone to bring some hot food over.

Gu Huaizhong and the two guards in the mansion climbed over the back wall of the Temple of the City God, and indeed found three rows of footprints on the snow, as Gu Yuqi said.

Gu Huaizhong was overjoyed, and led the people to chase them out until they reached the foot of the mountain outside the town. Those footprints became a mess, and there seemed to be traces of fighting.

Gu Huaizhong and the others slowed down to distinguish the footprints carefully, and saw that the footprints entered the woods on the side of the mountain all the way.

After they entered the woods, they saw two black-clothed masked men motionless, ragged down under a big tree, Gu Huaizhong stepped forward to check, but they were breathless and dead, Gu Huaizhong pulled them. After taking off their face towel, and looking at the light of the torches handed over by the guards, he couldn't help gasping, "Rouran man!" He exclaimed in surprise.
