Chapter 530 Why is it you?
When Mu Yunting and Ye Yin led their men to the place where Su Nuan sent out the signal, there was no one there. There was only bloodstains and messy footprints on the ground, and a horse was quietly chewing dry grass on the side of the road.
The first secret guard to arrive came forward to report, "Your Highness, this horse is from Concubine Xia's carriage, which is two miles ahead. According to the traces on the ground, the carriage was heading towards Jing'an Temple and was attacked by bandits ahead."
Having said this, the secret guard paused and glanced at Ye Yin unconsciously.
Seeing this, Mu Yunting frowned and said, "Just say what you want to say. Why are you still hesitating at this time?"
The secret guard took a deep breath and continued, "There are five bandits in total. There are traces of a fight between two of them here, and traces of a fight between four in front."
"Did you read that correctly?"
As Ye Yin said this, he had already dismounted and went to check it out himself.
"Your Excellency, I am not mistaken. There are only four people fighting in front. I guess Liefeng is fighting one against three. There are only two people fighting here. Maybe Liefeng fought with another bandit here after repelling the three people."
"You said there were five bandits in total, three in front and one here, so where is the other one?"
Mu Yunting said worriedly.
The secret guard could not answer this question, and he did not dare to speak out his guess. But even if he did not say it, everyone present shared his idea, including Mu Yunting - and a bandit had kidnapped Concubine Xia.
Mu Yunting's knuckles turned white as he gripped the reins. The next moment, he took out his badge and threw it to the secret guard, "Go to the City Patrol Division and ask them to send a team to look for him."
The secret guard took the order and left.
At this time, Ye Yin had also checked the scene, and he seemed to have a different conclusion.
"Don't worry, Your Highness. In my opinion, the two people fighting here are not Liefeng and the fourth bandit. This fifth person may not be in the same group with the other four. He seems to be here to rescue people."
"But who will come back to rescue her?"
At this moment, Mu Yunting was so concerned that he asked this question without thinking.
Ye Yin said solemnly, "Is it possible that this person wants to use Concubine Xia to threaten Your Highness or General Xia and his son? Concubine Xia is much more important than a three-year-old child."
"Okay, okay, as long as he wants something."
Just when Mu Yunting was slightly relieved, a secret guard came to report, "Your Highness, we found the mark left by Liefeng ahead."
Mu Yunting immediately ordered, "Follow."
Here, Su Nuan was taken to two small wooden houses on the barren mountain.
Chu Qi and Su Qingmo never found a good opportunity to rob the person, so they just followed him all the way and hid behind a big rock outside the cabin.
In the wooden house, a stunningly beautiful woman was playing with something. When she saw Su Nuan and the others come in, she immediately put away the things in her hands.
Su Nuan only glanced at the thing quickly and then looked at the stunning woman. Then she and Zhao Zong asked at the same time: "Why is it you?"
Hearing Zhao Zong's words, Su Nuan quickly confirmed with him, "He is not your master?"
Zhao Zong didn't answer, but his next words gave Su Nuan the answer indirectly.
"You lured me here in the name of the master. What do you want to do?"
The stunningly beautiful woman was the fake Xun Zheng.
"I don't need a dog like you to question me about what I want to do. Your mission is over, you can leave now."
"This woman is still useful to the master, I can't hand her over to you."
"I'm giving you a chance to live. If you keep talking nonsense, you won't be able to leave."
Zhao Zong didn't say anything. He just took a step back silently but didn't leave.
Xun Zheng's eyes suddenly became sharp, as if he was about to kill someone in the next moment.
Su Nuan didn’t know how good Xun Zheng’s martial arts were, or whether she could kill Zhao Zong, but she knew there was someone hiding next door. The sound of his breathing was intermittent, and based on her experience, she knew that this person must be a peerless master.
Xun Zheng dared to snatch the person from Zhao Zong, she must be absolutely sure, which means that the master next door is her helper.
At this moment, she had already decided to kill Zhao Zong. Although this man was not a good guy, she would not have a good ending if she fell into Xun Zheng's hands. Now she and Zhao Zong were tied to the same rope, and she couldn't let Zhao Zong die like this.
Su Nuan coughed lightly, drawing Xun Zheng's attention to herself, and then said with a smile: "You dare to appear here, you must have helpers, let me guess who it is. Is it the peacock of King Guang'an?"
This reminded Zhao Zong of the ambush and also made Xun Zheng laugh, "Hua Kongque, you really have a clever mouth. No wonder you can charm the prince."
"I didn't just charm him with my mouth. I'm a great cook. Haven't you heard the saying, 'If you want to win a man's heart, you must first win his stomach'?"
Xun Zheng sneered, "According to what you said, your cook can capture his heart better than you."
"No, it's more likely to capture his appetite. My cook is not interested in him."
The nonsense he said actually stopped Xun Zheng's killing intent. Su Nuan's mind was almost smoking, but she still couldn't think of a good way to get out of this situation.
It would be difficult for her to escape from Xun Zheng on her own, not to mention that there was an expert next door.
Now the only person around her who can be used is Zhao Zong. Fortunately, she is still useful to Zhao Zong's master. She can only take a gamble and bet that Zhao Zong will help her.
