Chapter 267: Tragic Abduction
Cui Jiangke saw that the purpose of his trip had been achieved, so he left first, saying, "There are still many official business to deal with in the mansion."
Xu Yingying and Li Siqi did not try to keep him, after all, they had not yet finished packing their things.
noon.
Xu Yingying and Li Siqi had finally packed up their things, and with the help of Hu Weihua, they became more confident and set out on their journey to the Western Regions without delay.
On the road.
In the carriage, Hu Weihua was chattering about how Cui Jiangke saved him.
"The sword of the Western Regions man was about to pierce my chest. Fortunately, the general intervened. He deflected the sword and stabbed the man to death."
Speaking of this, Hu Weihua's eyes were full of admiration.
When Xu Yingying heard this, she immediately smiled like an auntie, and then joked: "Hey, you didn't fall in love with me at this time, did you?"
Li Siqi heard this and quickly stopped Xu Yingying, "What are you talking about? Be serious."
After listening to this, Xu Yingying closed her mouth silently. However, Hu Weihua did not deny what Xu Yingying said, nor was he angry. He just looked at Xu Yingying with a faint smile on his face, as if he agreed.
In this way, after several days of travel, Xu Yingying and Li Siqi finally arrived at the border of the Western Regions.
Just as they were about to enter the border, a group of people from the Western Regions stopped Xu Yingying and her carriage with unfriendly looks.
Seeing this, Hu Weihua hurriedly got off the carriage.
The Western man who was in the lead had a ferocious look on his face and said something unknown.
After Hu Weihua negotiated for a while, the other party smiled happily and gave way, letting Xu Yingying and her friends' carriage pass.
Seeing this, Hu Weihua also got on the carriage and signaled the coachman to go forward.
Inside the carriage.
Xu Yingying curiously approached Hu Weihua and asked, "What were you talking about just now? Why does it seem like the other party is not very friendly?"
Hu Weihua explained helplessly: "They thought we were from the Central Plains and refused to let us in. I explained to them that I was from the Western Regions and had gone to the Central Plains to do business some time ago. I brought back a lot of exquisite fabrics and porcelain. Only then did they let me in."
Xu Yingying suddenly realized when she heard this: "Oh, so that's how it is."
Next, Hu Weihua, with his fluent Western dialect, helped Xu Yingying and the others enter the Western Regions safely.
Hu Weihua looked at the gradually darkening sky outside and suggested, "Why don't we find an inn to rest for a while?"
After a tiring day, Xu Yingying and Li Siqi nodded and agreed without hesitation, "Okay."
Before getting off the carriage, Hu Weihua gave Li Siqi and Xu Yingying a face towel each and asked them to cover their faces and not to reveal them, because people from the Western Regions loved to torture people from the Central Plains the most.
At night, in the inn.
Xu Yingying was using her cosmetics to help Li Siqi disguise himself, because Hu Weihua had just told them repeatedly not to let the people from the Western Regions discover their true identities, otherwise they would end up in a miserable state.
Xu Yingying was concentrating on applying rouge on Li Siqi's face. Because the distance was too close, Xu Yingying's hot breath sprayed on Li Siqi's face.
Li Siqi couldn't help swallowing as he looked at Xu Yingying who was so close to him, and his heartbeat quickened.
He looked at Xu Yingying's rosy and plump lips, and subconsciously hugged Xu Yingying in his arms and kissed her.
At once, the relationship between the two of them warmed up a lot. Xu Yingying felt a little shy when Li Siqi kissed her. She pushed Li Siqi away and ran out of the inn, ready to relax and calm down by herself.
Because the incident happened suddenly, Xu Yingying did not say hello to Hu Weihua. By the time she reacted, she could no longer find her way back.
The security in the Western Regions was not very good, and it happened that Xu Yingying had not disguised herself at that time.
Everyone recognized her as a person from the Central Plains at once, and many men from the Western Regions took the opportunity to surround her and take advantage of her.
"Hey, this little girl is so pretty. Why is she here alone? Is she lost? How about I take you back?"
"Yes! Let me treat you well! I am very good and I will definitely satisfy you."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, how pitiful! Who is so cruel to leave the little baby here alone? How pitiful! I'm living a good life, why don't you come back with me!"
……
A group of Western men surrounded Xu Yingying with bad intentions, and prepared to attack her with obscene looks on their faces.
Seeing this, Xu Yingying summoned the weeds without hesitation.
She pointed at the group of dissolute people in front of her and said, "Weeds, teach them a lesson."
When Ye Cao heard this, he became very excited and pounced on him immediately.
Although Ye Cao couldn't beat them directly, he used hallucinations to make this group of people instantly lose their minds.
After a while, a group of people started beating each other.
When Xu Yingying saw this scene, she immediately fled, but she didn't know the way back to the inn. Before she had walked far, she felt a sharp pain in her neck and then fainted.
A man appeared in the dark box.
The man looked at Xu Yingying who had fainted on the ground with a lewd look on his face and nodded with satisfaction, "Not bad, not bad, this woman is good-looking and she is from Central Plains. She can definitely be sold for a good price. I'm going to make a fortune this time."
After saying that, he carried Xu Yingying onto his shoulders and went back to report with satisfaction.
This person is Li Jian, a human trafficker in the underground trading place. He likes to do some shameful things on weekdays, such as trafficking young girls. However, he is a little better than those human traffickers in Cangchun Pavilion, because the women he abducted are usually sold to wealthy families as slaves. Of course, it is also possible that the unlucky ones are bought to be concubines.
inside the room.
Li Siqi looked at the gradually darkening weather outside and found that Xu Yingying had not returned yet, and he suddenly became anxious.
At the same time, he had a bad feeling in his heart.
He quickly found Hu Weihua and told him what had just happened.
When Hu Weihua heard this, his face suddenly changed and he asked, "What? Are you saying Xu Yingying is missing?"
Li Siqi smiled bitterly and nodded, "Yes."
"It's definitely dangerous at this late hour. She doesn't know the way, so she must be nearby and not have run far! I'll go check around first."
Hu Weihua comforted Li Siqi.
"Then I'll go look for him too! There's strength in numbers." Li Siqi volunteered.
"But you are not the road!" Hu Weihua said with some concern.
"It's okay. I have a good sense of direction. If I really can't find it, I will come back by myself. I won't try to show off." Li Siqi insisted.
Hu Weihua was too embarrassed to say anything more, so he could only nod and agree: "Okay, if you encounter any problems, come back and tell me as soon as possible. Don't try to be brave. The Western Region is far more complicated than you think."
Hu Weihua emphasized.
