Chapter 336 Kidnapping Trap
At night, everyone else had to rest, leaving only a few guards who planned to take turns to keep watch.
Ye Yunlian excused herself to go to the grass further away.
These guards were all men, so naturally they couldn't follow her. After she found her position, she began to sing like birds.
After a while, there was a rustling sound coming towards her, and several men appeared in front of her. After confirming her identity, they shouted: "Master."
These are the manpower she bought with her own money. Although there are not many, they are always obedient.
Ye Yunlian nodded: "Just follow the plan I told you before, let's go."
They left the place directly and left a note with crooked writing on it.
When the guards were changing shifts, they discovered that Ye Yunlian had not come back since she left, but it was not easy for them to check if the woman was there for her convenience.
After waiting for a while, he felt that something was really unusual, so he walked in the direction Ye Yunlian left.
Sure enough, they saw messy footprints and a note near the bushes.
"This woman has been captured by us. If you want to save her, send someone to get 50,000 taels of silver to redeem her, otherwise her life will be lost! Remember, you can only come alone, otherwise your life will be at risk. !”
They looked at the note and couldn't make up their minds, so they had to wake up Ye Guodong and hand the note to him.
After reading the note, Ye Guodong frowned: "When did this happen?"
"I just discovered that Miss Ye must have been away for an hour."
Listening to their words, Ye Guodong estimated how far Ye Yunlian could be taken, and then ordered: "You continue to stay here. You don't need to wake them up, and don't let them act alone. Wait for me to come back."
After finishing speaking, he paused, "If I haven't come back by dawn, then ask my son to send a message to Ran'er in the north. Likewise, don't let them follow, it's too dangerous."
The guards could only obey the orders. Although they were worried, they couldn't persuade them much, so they had no choice but to nod and accept.
After making arrangements, Ye Guodong quickly left here and walked in the direction where the footprints disappeared.
There happened to be a path where the footprints disappeared. Although it was not obvious, he still noticed it.
Pushing aside the messy vegetation, he moved forward with some difficulty.
Although Ye Yunlian did many wrong things in the past, she is indeed well-behaved and sensible now. Although it cannot offset her past sins, she is still her daughter, and he cannot ignore her death.
Even if she had to be punished, it should be done by Ye Qingran, not these robbers.
He didn't know how long he walked forward before finally seeing a ruined temple.
This was the only place nearby that could hide people. He was about to approach the ruined temple cautiously, but he didn't expect that the other party seemed to have predicted his movements and guessed that he knew martial arts.
He had just taken a few steps when he felt he stepped on something.
Just as he was about to look down, he was caught in a big net.
He didn't have any sharp weapons with him. He couldn't break free from the net made of thick hemp ropes, and he was soon trapped inside.
After confirming that he couldn't get out, several masked men rushed out and added a few more hemp ropes to tie him tightly.
"you!"
Ye Guodong glared.
Although he didn't bring any money to redeem anyone, he didn't expect these people to be so insidious and set traps on the road without fighting him at all.
He originally relied on his good martial arts skills to dare to come here alone, but now it was completely useless.
"Huh, just be patient. I know you, an old guy, won't bring money. It seems like your daughter doesn't have much weight in your heart."
The person in charge was a young man, with his face covered and his voice a little sharp.
Just as Ye Guodong was about to refute, he was hit in the back of the head and fainted.
After dawn, Ye Zhuoyu and Mrs. Jiang found that Ye Guodong and Ye Yunlian were missing, and they immediately panicked.
The guards told the truth about what happened last night, and Ye Zhuoyu panicked.
With his father's martial arts skills, it shouldn't be a problem to deal with those masked men. Do they have other people?
He was extremely worried in his heart, but he couldn't leave Jiang here. In addition, Ye Guodong had told him not to run around last night, so he had to give up the idea of rescuing people personally.
After all, Ye Guodong's martial arts skills were superior to his, and there was a problem that Ye Guodong couldn't handle. If he went alone, it would be in vain, but it would make his mother even more worried and helpless.
After careful consideration, he first comforted Mrs. Jiang, and then quickly sent a letter to the north.
With such a change, they will definitely not be able to reach the northern border for a while. They also hope that Ye Qingran can get the remaining manpower to come, so that they can have the confidence to rescue people.
Not long after, Ye Qingran received the letter.
Just reading the content described by Ye Zhuoyu in the letter, she felt something was fishy.
If the robbers just kidnapped Ye Yunlian and wanted money, then there was no need to capture Ye Guodong as well. Wouldn't it be better to put him back and get the money? There are no officers and soldiers in the wilderness. Even if there are officers and soldiers, they can't keep up with them. Wouldn't it be a waste of manpower to tie up two people at a time?
Thinking of this, she felt more and more that there was a conspiracy.
"I have to leave for a while to find my parents. I'm worried that something will happen to them."
When she said this to Chu Qingyun, she had already guessed that Concubine Xian was up to something. After all, the person in the capital who was most afraid of their actions, besides the emperor, was her.
With the emperor's power, there is no need to resort to any tricks to kill anyone, so the remaining one must be Concubine Xian.
She had also heard about Concubine Xian's promotion to a noble concubine, but she didn't take it to heart.
She entered the palace just for fame, fortune and status, and she coveted her position as queen when she pushed Ye Qingran to death. Even after Ye Qingran left, she did not become the queen, but her thoughts would not disappear.
"Shall I go with you?"
Chu Qingyun was worried about her leaving alone, and was also worried about when the space would change again, causing her to suddenly fake death.
If no one took care of her while she was pretending to be dead, she might really be buried alive.
Ye Qingran understood his worries, but still insisted: "It's okay, I can do it by myself, not to mention I have enough manpower. The northern border has not yet completely settled down, and more people are needed to take care of it, so you can stay here with peace of mind." Come down, I'll be back soon."
Chu Qingyun refused, but Ye Qingran continued to persuade him for a long time, almost coaxing him with a coquettish tone, and he finally relaxed.
"Okay, then you must pay attention to safety. If something happens, remember to blow the whistle, and I will send someone to protect you secretly. As long as you blow the whistle, I will receive the news and I will rush to you as quickly as possible. .”
"it is good."
