Yusui Chang'an

Mr. Ran, who went out of the city to look for someone with Gu Ruizhou, disappeared soon after leaving the city. After Lin Jinyan disappeared, he showed up and searched with others for a while, and then entered the dense forest.

People who had personal relationships with the Gu Lin family or were familiar with Lin Jinyan all sent people to help.

Jin Wei, who was supposed to return to the palace, knew that if he returned now, the news of Lin Jinyan's disappearance would be extremely detrimental to her reputation, so he ordered the city guards to follow her to find someone and wait until dark before returning to the city.

Although Jin Wei made it clear, Gu Ruizhou knew his good intentions and held his hand in front of Jin Wei with gratitude in his eyes.

Jin Wei nodded to accept it, but the two of them didn't say a word, everything was said in silence.

For two hours, everyone searched all the nearby hills, but still could not find any trace of Lin Jinyan.

Instead, dozens of corpses were found, most of which had their necks violently broken or their internal organs injured, and died in the same place.

Another dozen or so people were scattered throughout the mountain, all of them died under the sword.

Gu Hongzhang and Lin Yancheng looked at the sun gradually turning westward, and their expressions became increasingly ugly when they heard the news that no one was found every time the soldiers came to report.

Gu Hongzhang: "Explore again and report again."

Looking up at the captured thief not far away, Gu Hongzhang stepped forward:

"If anything happens to Yan'er, I will kill you alive!"

Feeling the actual killing intent, the timid among the "two strings of people" had his teeth trembling:

"General, spare your life...it's not a small matter...it was their accomplice who kidnapped Miss Lin..."

"Yes, General, Miss Lin's guards are very skilled in martial arts, and the younger ones can't defeat them at all..."

"The young man was blinded by money and blinded by lard. He begged the general to spare his life..."

Gu Hongzhang looked at the men in black with their teeth removed, and saw that although there was a hint of fear in their eyes, they were still fierce. He knew that they were not ordinary thugs, and he was even more worried: What if Yan'er really fell into the hands of these people? , I'm afraid...

He withdrew his gaze and looked at the four men who had been kneeling on the roadside for a long time.

Last time Lin Jinyan's carriage was frightened and overturned, Gu Hongzhang secretly mobilized four capable confidants to protect Lin Jinyan.

Lin Jinyan was missing at this moment, and Gu Hongzhang couldn't help but express his anger:
"When I sent you to Yan'er, I ordered you to protect Yan'er every step of the way whenever he leaves the house. If something happens to Yan'er today, why aren't you here!"

"I met a villager before and said that someone in the village had rescued a young man who looked very much like the second wife of the Lin family. The young lady asked a few of us to follow him to see him. We were worried about the young lady, because originally only two of us went."

Another person said with a guilty look on his face:

"After Zhang Qi and the others left with the villagers, the lady said that something was wrong with the villagers, so she asked the two of us to bring two guards from the Lin Mansion to follow and have a look. If we noticed something was wrong, we would arrest them."

They didn't want to all leave, but Lin Jinyan told her to wait where she was, so they followed her after hearing that she was not far away.

The villager who led the way took them for a long time. There were many thugs hiding in the house they went to. Before the four of them could restrain the thugs, they heard the sound of arrows. When they came back, Lin Jinyan was already there. Robbed.

They chased Wei Zhong to rescue Lin Jinyan, but found that they had been drugged at some point. They fainted and were picked up by Du Xing before they chased for a mile. As soon as they woke up, they heard the news that Lin Jinyan was missing.

Seeing Gu Hongzhang, he knelt down to apologize for his guilt until now.

The city guard army and Dingbei army moved all the corpses found in the forest to the roadside.

Gu Hongzhang and Lin Yanqing looked at the corpses one after another, and their hearts became more and more high:

Yan'er, where are you? (End of chapter)
