Yang Ning walked all the way to the gorge mountain. As the sun set, he saw the outline of the mountains ahead in the distance. There were many mountains in Jiangling, but they were not high and were undulating.
As Pegasus was walking, he saw a river only a few miles away from the gorges and mountains. He knew that this was the Hongsha River. The Hongsha River was winding and winding. The water was gurgling, but the water quality was also clear. There was a large area to the east of the Hongsha River. The fields have all been harvested and are extremely empty. The sun is setting and the horizon is golden.
Yang Ning knew that the warehouse was built on the bank of the Hongsha River. He was running along the Hongsha River. Before the sun set, he saw several stone houses in front of him. They were quite conspicuous under the vast sky.
He knew that was the warehouse where he was going to make an appointment. He rushed his horse over, only to see no one around the warehouse. As he approached the warehouse, he saw that the warehouses were built in a row, with about three or four rooms. Obviously for safety reasons, the warehouses were made of rocks. Cheng, look at these stones, they look like they were quarried from the mountains.
The warehouse faces east and west, with the Hongsha River behind it. Just a few miles across the river are gorges and mountains. It seems that when these warehouses were built, stones were transported directly from the mountains.
The warehouse built with mountain rocks is naturally extremely strong and very safe.
Yang Ning rode his horse to the warehouse. Four warehouses were lined up. He did not dismount. He reached into his arms and took out the cold blade and held it in his hand. He held the horse's reins with one hand and glanced at it. He only saw the doors of three of the warehouses. It was open, except for the middle barn door, which was closed and locked from the outside, but not locked.
It was dark inside the three warehouses with open doors. These warehouses were used to temporarily store food before being sheltered from wind and rain, so they did not even have windows. Once closed, they were completely closed, and the sun would hardly shine. Enter the warehouse.
"I'm already here!" Yang Ning said in a deep voice: "Since you invited me here, you don't have to hide your head and show your tail. Why don't you come out wherever the person is?"
But no one around agreed.
Yang Ning frowned, waited for a moment, and called out again: "My prince is here, why don't you dare to come out?" As soon as he finished speaking, he vaguely heard a voice coming: "Ning'er, is it you? Ning Son, I'm here." The voice was quite weak. Fortunately, Yang Ning's hearing was very good, and he immediately heard the voice of Gu Qinghan. He was happy, but he did not lose his caution. He turned over and dismounted, holding the knife in his hand, and shouted loudly Said: "Sanniang, where are you?"
Gu Qinghan's voice came: "I... I don't know where I am, Ning'er, I... I'm weak, where are you?" The voice came from the closed warehouse.
Yang Ning immediately stepped forward and saw that the door was locked on the outside. He opened it with a cold blade and pushed the door open. The room was dark and empty. When he entered the room, he looked around and saw a figure curled up in the corner. , through the dim light, he could identify it was Gu Qinghan, and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Sanniang, you are really here."
Gu Qinghan was wearing thin clothes, her hair was disheveled, and she was leaning against the wall. She looked at Yang Ning clearly and asked, "Ning'er, where is this? I... I woke up and I was here. What on earth is this place?" "
"Sanniang, you have been drugged by someone." Yang Ning put away the cold blade, "How do you feel now? Can you get up?"
Gu Qinghan raised his hand to hold on to the stone on the wall, trying to get up, but moved slightly, then shook his head and said: "I don't have the strength, and I don't know what happened."
Yang Ning said: "It's not appropriate to stay here for a long time. Don't say anything first. Let's leave here first." He stretched out his hand to pick up Gu Qinghan. Gu Qinghan knew that this was also forced by the situation and had no objection. At this moment, he suddenly heard "哐" With a sound, the barn door was suddenly closed. Yang Ning was startled. When she turned around, she heard a rustling sound coming from outside. It seemed that someone was locking the barn door outside.
There are no windows in this warehouse, and once the door is closed, it becomes dark immediately.
Yang Ning knew that he had fallen into a trap, and there must be someone ambushing him nearby. After he entered the house, he immediately closed the door. With the cold blade in his hand, he was not worried about not being able to get out.
"Ning'er, what's wrong?" Seeing the warehouse door suddenly being closed, Gu Qinghan exclaimed in shock: "Who is outside? Why... why do you have to close the door?"
She didn't know that Yang Ning came alone. She only thought that there were followers brought by Yang Ning outside. The door was suddenly closed, which made her heart sink.
Yang Ning was not in a hurry to answer. He touched the door and said in a deep voice: "Now that my eldest son is here, what conditions do you have? You can put it forward now and lure this eldest son here. Isn't it just to force my eldest son to submit? Since If you have the guts to take action against me, you won’t have the guts to talk to me face to face.”
There was no sound at the moment outside the barn door, it was deathly silent.
"It seems they are really a bunch of cowards." Hearing no movement outside, Yang Ning sneered: "You think you can stop me from leaving with just one door?"
This time, I heard a low voice coming from outside: "Your Majesty, there is no need to rush out. There is a lot of fun tonight, and you will not be disappointed. Don't even think about coming out from the gate. I kindly remind you that there are two The crossbow arrows are pointed at the hatch, and as soon as you come out from inside, you will be shot immediately."
Then I heard two "pop-pop" sounds from the barn door, as if something was nailed into the door. I heard the deep voice say: "Your Majesty, there is no need to doubt it now."
Although Gu Qinghan was weak and weak, he could clearly hear the conversation between the two parties. He was surprised and said: "Ning'er, they... who are they?" He already understood that he was kidnapped.
Yang Ning knew that the other party was not bluffing. It was uncertain whether the crossbow arrow was really aimed at the barn door, but the other party had a crossbow arrow in his hand, so it must be true. He had a cold blade in his hand, so it would not be difficult to break through the door, but at this moment, it was obvious that he could not charge through the front door. go out.
Following the sound, he reached Gu Qinghan's side. The room was pitch dark, and his eyes hadn't gotten used to it yet, so he couldn't see anything clearly. He suddenly touched a soft place, and Gu Qinghan's body trembled. Yang Ning hurriedly stopped her hand, and she couldn't see clearly in the darkness. Gu Qinghan expressed her expression and whispered: "Sanniang, Ning'er is here, you don't have to be afraid."
"Ning'er, you don't know who these people are, do you?" Gu Qinghan asked anxiously: "Did you get here alone?"
"You were kidnapped by them last night. We searched everywhere and couldn't find you. A letter was sent to the old house, asking me to come here alone for an appointment." Yang Ning said: "They said you were in the warehouse by the Hongsha River, so I I searched all the way here.”
Gu Qinghan's voice was urgent and angry: "You silly kid, don't you know this is a trap? They just want to lure you here, you...how can you put yourself in danger for me." At this time, it was fully understood that Yang Ning appeared. Here, I came here to rescue myself, and I was moved and anxious at the same time.
Yang Ning chuckled and said, "Am I going to sit idly by and watch you fall into the hands of these thieves? Sanniang, I said I would protect you, so naturally I won't let you get hurt. This time you are being raped by them." It's my fault that you were kidnapped because I didn't protect you well, so I naturally want to save you."
"You...!" Gu Qinghan sighed, "Ning'er, you are the heir to the Marquis of Jinyi. My safety is not a big deal, but you... But if something goes wrong with you, how can I be worthy of the two generations of marquises, and how can I be worthy of the Qi family? Ancestors?"
Yang Ning knew the anxiety in Gu Qinghan's heart and comforted him: "Life and death are determined by fate and wealth, so naturally I can't ignore you." He lowered his voice and said, "Don't worry, Sanniang, I have a way to get going."
"Ah?" Gu Qinghan knew there was someone outside, so he whispered: "There are crossbows outside the door, you must not take risks."
"They just think there is only one exit, and we don't need to go out from there."
Gu Qinghan said curiously: "I touched the wall just now. It must be built with rocks from the mountain. There is not even a window in this warehouse. We can't go out at all." He blamed himself: "It's all Sanniang's fault. You returned to your old home, otherwise...otherwise you wouldn't be in trouble."
"Blessings come from disasters, misfortunes come from blessings. This time we are in trouble, but we may not gain anything." Yang Ning said softly: "Sanniang, the person who kidnapped you must be very clear about the terrain of the old house, and she will You are locked up in the warehouse we built on the bank of the Hongsha River, and you are very aware of the nearby terrain. From this, it can be seen that the person who attacked us this time is probably an acquaintance of ours."
Gu Qinghan immediately said: "Who do you suspect?"
Yang Ning was about to answer when he suddenly smelled a faint fragrance entering his nose. This fragrance was quite similar to crabapple flowers and definitely not the body fragrance of Gu Qinghan. It was a bit strange and asked: "Sanniang, what fragrance can you smell?"
Gu Qinghan said: "Did you smell it too? It seems... It seems to be the smell of crabapple flowers. How can there be crabapple flowers here?"
"No, although it smells a bit like crabapple flowers, it also has other smells...!" Yang Ning couldn't see clearly in the dark, and he didn't know where the scent came from, but he was already alert, and this scent Suddenly, there must be something fishy. She cut off a piece of clothing from her body with a cold blade and whispered: "This smell is strange. Sanniang covers her mouth and nose to prevent the fragrance from entering the body too much."
Gu Qinghan said weakly: "Ning'er, I have no strength, you... help me tear off the skirt of my clothes...!"
Yang Ning asked: "Is it from you or from me? I have a piece in my hand, do you want it?"
After all, Gu Qinghan comes from a wealthy family and has lived a fastidious life since he was a child. He was afraid that Gu Qinghan would not want the clothes he tore off. Gu Qinghan scolded him in a low voice: "How long has it been? There are still so many things to pay attention to, and... and my clothes are thin, There’s no place to tear it apart.”
Yang Ning handed over the lapel in his hand and whispered, "Can Sanniang see it?" As soon as the words came out, he knew it was nonsense. He couldn't even see clearly. How could Gu Qinghan see clearly? Without waiting for Gu Qinghan to speak, he added: "Reach out."
Although Gu Qinghan's body was weak and powerless, he could still raise his arms. When he touched Yang Ning's arm, Yang Ning immediately grabbed it, stuffed the piece of clothes into Gu Qinghan's jade hands, and said, "Just cover your mouth and nose."
When Gu Qinghan took it, Yang Ning cut off another piece from his own body, covered his mouth and nose and tied it up. He stretched out his hand and touched the wall. He thought that the cold blade cuts iron like mud. He could use the cold blade to cut iron like mud while people outside were not paying attention. Make a hole in the wall.
It is naturally impossible to do it with ordinary weapons, but there is great hope for a magic weapon like the Cold Blade. Even so, it is naturally necessary to break a hole in the wall made of rocks. spend some time.
