Chapter 261 Wu Yu is here
The madam has been working with Mr. Zhu for many years. Every time a new girl comes, Mr. Zhu takes most of the money from the first night, and the rest is earned by the madam.
After the madam left, Mr. Zhu began to feel nervous, wondering what the origins of this young woman from the Great Zhou were. The guest demanded that she must be killed.
He intuitively felt that this matter was not simple and he could not kill the person easily, so he simply took her to Gulang City and left her with the madam. If she couldn't bear it and committed suicide, he could also shirk responsibility if anything happened in the future.
As for what will happen to the madam, it has nothing to do with me.
At noon the next day, the blazing sun was high in the sky, and the caravan members woke up one after another from exhaustion and deep sleep. However, when they tried to get up, they found themselves limp and powerless, as if all their strength had been drained away, and they could only collapse helplessly to the ground.
Gao Yi struggled to open his heavy eyes. The moment he regained consciousness, the first thing he thought of was to go see Xue Qing. He struggled to stand up, but his body refused to obey him. Every attempt made him feel deeply powerless.
Beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, soaking the ground beneath him.
Cheng Niu also woke up at the same time. His eyes were searching eagerly, and the first figure that appeared in his mind was Xue Qing.
He gritted his teeth, supported his body with his arms, and tried to gather strength, but it was all in vain.
Jiang Yi woke up slowly in the carriage and looked around anxiously, but did not see Xue Qing.
Instantly, he felt a buzzing sound in his head, as if a heavy hammer had hit him hard. Her eyes became flustered and helpless, and she kept muttering, "Xue Qing, Xue Qing..."
The entire caravan was in chaos at this moment, and some people began to shout in panic: "What's going on? We can't move!" The voices were full of fear and despair.
Mr. Zhao, the head of the caravan, was also busy looking at the panicked people in the camp and comforted them, "Everyone, we are lucky to be alive. Let's take a look at your injuries first."
When the people who were close by heard what Mr. Zhao said, they quickly looked at his body and found that there seemed to be no wounds and he did not feel any pain, so they passed on Mr. Zhao's words.
The news spread quickly, and soon everyone checked themselves and found that they were just weak, but had no wounds. This made people feel more at ease, no matter what, the person was still alive.
Just when people were in panic, the sound of horse hooves came from afar.
Gao Yiqiang perked up and listened carefully, his expression becoming more serious: "From the sound, there are at least five people coming towards the caravan. If they are bad guys, given our current situation, these hundred or so people may not survive."
His heart was in his throat and his eyes were fixed on the direction where the sound of horse hooves came from.
After a while, several figures on horseback appeared. Gao Yi saw that the leader was a young man.
This man was wearing a black robe. He dismounted from his horse swiftly, with a stern and steady demeanor, and walked in front of Gao Yi.
Those sharp eyes and tightly pursed lips seemed to be able to condense the air around them, which made people feel awe.
Although Gao Yi could not move, he could still speak: "My hero, we are a merchant caravan from the Western Regions. We have encountered bad guys for some reason and are now unable to move. I hope you can rescue us."
The man stepped forward to check Gao Yi's pulse, and the men behind him dismounted to check on the other situations.
"You were just poisoned by the muscle softening powder, it's nothing serious," the man said, then he walked to the horse and took out a blue bottle from the bag on the horse's back.
The man walked up to Gao Yi, opened the bottle cap and put it under Gao Yi's nose. After a moment, Gao Yi's limbs regained strength, and he stood up and walked to Xue Qing's carriage at the first opportunity.
When the carriage was opened, Xue Qing was nowhere to be seen. Jiang Yi saw Gao Yi and shouted, "Gao Yi, hurry up and go find Qing'er. Qing'er is missing."
When the man heard Qing'er, his eyebrows jumped and he took two steps at a time to the front of the carriage. It was indeed Jiang Yi.
When Jiang Yi saw Wu Yu, he felt like he had found a life-saving straw. He shouted at the top of his lungs, "Wu Yu, Qing'er is missing!"
Wu Yu didn't have time to ask why Qing'er was here, and the expression on his face instantly became serious.
Instead, he grabbed Gao Yi beside him and asked, "Why is Qing'er gone?"
When Gao Yi heard Jiang Yi calling this person Wu Yu, he suddenly remembered that the youngest son of the Wu family, Qing'er's fiancé, was named Wu Yu.
"You are...the second son of the Wu family." He didn't want to say the word husband.
Gao Yi knew it from his expression: "We stayed here yesterday and didn't find anything unusual. When I woke up today, I saw the same thing as you just saw."
Wu Yu let go of Gao Yi and handed him the antidote: "Go and see if anyone else is missing."
Gao Yi and several others took the antidote to other people, and at this time, Jiang Yi also recovered.
"Why are you here?" After all, he had internal strength, so he recovered after a moment, jumped off the carriage and asked Wu Yu.
Wu Yu did not answer her, but asked: "When did you find out she was missing?"
Jiang Yi then told Wu Yu in detail what happened when he came here to rest yesterday.
"Because there were too many people fetching water, Qing'er didn't let me go to the mountain spring to fetch water. We used the water we brought in the car to cook, but..." Jiang Yi remembered that the two of them ate the noodle soup brought by Cheng Niu.
"We both ate the noodle soup sent by Guard Cheng..."
Before Jiang Yi could finish his words, Wu Yu had disappeared.
He found Gao Yi and asked him to quickly count whether there were any other missing people.
After saying that, he walked back to Xue Qing's carriage, jumped into the carriage, and searched but did not find any valuable clues.
He took out the map from his arms and began to analyze it. In just a cup of tea, Gao Yi entered the carriage with a heavy heart.
When Wu Yu saw Gao Yi's expression, he basically guessed the answer.
But I still wanted to hear Gao Yi say it himself. Gao Yi whispered: "Only Qing'er is missing from the caravan."
Even though I had guessed it, I still felt a little nervous when I heard it with my own ears.
There were only two women in the entire caravan, Qing'er and Jiang Yi, and they were dressed as men. How could the thieves kidnap Qing'er so accurately?
Wu Yu felt a little complicated. He knew that Qing'er now was no longer the Qing'er from before. Even so, he couldn't just sit there and do nothing.
After hearing Gao's words, his face became even gloomier and he looked down at the map.
With a rough idea in mind, he found one of the people around him and told him, "You stay here to guard the caravan, I'll go find the others who are missing!"
