Chapter 115: Send out the Mu family army to search for people!
The room where Wen Yao lives in Yaju is divided into two rooms, inner and outer.
It is the most stylish room among all the houses in Yaju.
There is a fish pond indoors that connects to the outside. Koi fish swim through the room from time to time, and the small water lilies floating on the surface are lush even in winter.
The inner room and the outer room are separated by a pearl curtain with green bamboo carved on it.
But now that the bead curtain is half broken, the green bamboo appears to be in pieces.
The tables and chairs in the outer room were now overturned on the ground, but no other items were damaged. It seemed that the fight was very short.
Xu Rongrong lifted the curtain and entered the inner room. The room was tidy and uncluttered, unaffected by anything. In fact, at this moment, the charcoal fire in the inner room was faintly crackling, giving off a warm and cozy scene.
The number of objects in the room did not decrease, there was even a gilded hollow hand warmer placed neatly in front of the dressing mirror.
I think the purpose of this person is just to kidnap someone!
Xu Rongrong sat at the head of the bed, hugging her arms tightly. The charcoal fire in the room was warm, but she still couldn't help feeling cold in her heart.
She curled her fingers together. "That person's target was me. Wen Yao was merely implicated by her status as the County Lady."
From the moment she entered the door, Mu Rong stood beside her the whole time.
His eyes stayed on her fingertips which were turning white due to exertion. He subconsciously raised his hand and wrapped all her fingers in his palm.
It was as if he was holding her in his arms.
The sudden warmth on her hand instantly eased Xu Rongrong's anxiety. She raised her head, and her eyes seemed to be filled with ripples.
Mu Rong's heart almost melted at this glance. He said gently to comfort her, "But precisely because of this, it can also make people feel at ease."
Based on what he has seen so far, he also agrees with Xu Rongrong's statement.
The kidnapper's target was the county lady, but she didn't know that the current "county lady" was the one Wen Yao had to impersonate in order to save people in a desperate situation.
He continued, "If this person's goal was to harm the county lady, he could have killed Wen Yao in this room without anyone noticing. Now that he's just abducted, we know he won't easily harm Wen Yao. We still have time."
He swallowed another sentence: But this time is very limited.
After all, the county lord is of noble status, and anyone who dares to kidnap her must be prepared to risk his life.
A man with such courage in the Great Zhou Dynasty who entered the capital would not be afraid of killing people. But he did not dare to tell Xu Rongrong these words.
Sure enough, the analysis just now made Xu Rongrong feel a little relieved.
She stood up and walked back to the outer room, carefully looking at the intact doors and windows, as if thinking about something.
After a moment, she calmed down:
"The person coming should be a woman."
Mu Rong nodded. "This is the inner courtyard. Since Wen Yao lives here, Magistrate Wu will definitely not allow servants to come in and serve her. Therefore, if a man from outside comes in, it will definitely attract attention."
Xu Rongrong replied, "Not only that, the doors and windows of the house are intact, which means that Wen Yao opened the door for the other party personally. If the person coming was a man, she would definitely not let him in."
"It seems that a woman disguised as a maid from Yaju entered the room and suddenly attacked."
"Mu Lu lives in a room on the second floor, not far from here. If there was shouting or a violent fight in the room, he wouldn't have noticed. I think the other party subdued Wen Yao in a very short time and took him away without anyone noticing."
After Xu Rongrong finished speaking, Mu Rong's eyebrows jumped.
He had a vague suspicion in his heart.
But he looked at Xu Rongrong's slightly pale face and didn't want to cause her more trouble because of this slight doubt.
So he said, "Leave this matter to me. Don't worry, I will definitely bring Wen Yao back safely."
"But if the other party finds out that Wen Yao is not her target, will she kill her?!" This is what Xu Rongrong is most worried about.
Mu Rong laughed and said, "No, since the enemy's target is you. Which is easier, her using Wen Yao to lure you out, or killing her and then taking the risk of sneaking into Yaju again to kidnap you?"
Xu Rongrong breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this.
Mu Rong held her hand: "Don't worry, she will definitely not hurt Wen Yao before she succeeds. And I will definitely rescue Wen Yao before that." In her panic, the words of the man next to her made Xu Rongrong's nose sore.
She raised her eyes and looked at him deeply: "Thank you, my lord."
Just like more than 20 years ago, when she first entered the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion in her previous life, every time she looked at him, she was full of hope.
For Mu Rong, this kind of gaze was what he had been looking forward to for a long time.
But he knew that Xu Rongrong needed more than just comfort at this moment.
He walked out the door.
Outside the door, Mu Lu had just finished taking care of Yuzhou prefect Wu Mingshi and hurried over.
When he saw his own lord, he knew from his expression that he must have something to tell him.
He immediately stepped forward and asked, "Master, do you have a plan?" Mu Rong pondered for a moment, then whispered, "Send a message and order the Mu family soldiers stationed in Jiangnan to help search for him."
Mu Lu's eyes widened: "Mu Family Army... Master, this is absolutely not allowed. If someone finds out..."
Mu Rong gave him a cold look and said, "If you expose yourself just for a mission like searching for someone, then the Mu Family Army that I have trained will be of little use in the future."
Mu Lu: “…”
What the Marquis said seemed to be correct. Jiangnan was far away from the capital. If such a team could be exposed here, how could it be hidden from the nobles in the capital who were full of cunning schemes?
However, things have their priorities. Although Mu Lu is usually careless, he knew that finding someone was urgent at this time, so he immediately went to do the task.
He wanted to go to the Luo family mansion to call Mu Ai. After all, he had to have someone to take the blame for this kind of thing!
The yard was silent for a moment. When Mu Rong turned around, he found Xu Rongrong standing by the door, looking at him quietly.
Seeing Mu Rong discover her, Xu Rongrong quickly lowered her eyes. She was trying to hide...
To conceal the endless waves surging in my heart.
She followed Mu Rong out because she was anxious.
Although she couldn't hear what he ordered, she could clearly tell from Mu Lu's lip shape when he spoke that Mu Rong was going to mobilize the Mu family army to look for people!
that……
But they were the Mu family soldiers whom he protected with his life in his previous life.
Now, are we going to set out to find Wen Yao?
Although she felt indescribably excited, because she knew that this special army was invincible, with them out, finding Wen Yao would be more likely.
But she also knew the importance of the Mu family army to Mu Rong and to the Great Zhou.
The more this happened, the more incredible it seemed to her.
Why...?
The thought that had passed through her mind thousands of times seemed to come back at this moment.
Is he really the same as me?
She lowered her head, trying hard to restrain the questions that wanted to blurt out.
At this moment, she just wanted Wen Yao to come back to her as soon as possible.
