Chapter 48: The Abduction (II)
Wu Lie also nodded again and again, and said, "It's still thoughtful, I'll send someone to check right away." β
Gao Yuan said again: "Pavilion master, please ask Mrs. Wenqing to come out for a while, now it's time to tell her something." β
Wu Lie hurriedly sent someone to invite Lin Wenqing.
After a while, Lin Wenqing, accompanied by Li Yinghong and Wu Hongyan, came out of the inner room, and Gao Yuan also told Lin Wenqing about what he had just done and Wu Lie's arrangement. At this time, Lin Wenqing was also calmer now, and hurriedly expressed his gratitude to Wu Lie and Gao Yuan.
Gao Yuan said: "Mrs. Wenqing, according to my thoughts, Huan'er should be safe for the time being, but although this time it will not be a simple kidnapping and blackmail, but the other party must have a request for Madame, I think Madame had better go home and wait immediately, and soon someone should get in touch with Madame and ask for it." β
Lin Wenqing listened to it, and also felt that what Gao Yuan said made sense, since the other party had captured Luo Huan, he would naturally put forward conditions to herself, and she was also afraid of missing any news from her son, so she also said: "Lord Gao is reasonable, then I'd better go home and wait immediately." β
Gao Yuan said: "Although the other party did not arrest Madame, the safety of Madame cannot be ignored, so I still ask the martial arts hall master to assign some manpower to protect Madame." And after I reply to the general, I ask the general to send some more troops to protect the safety of my wife. Also, Yinghong, during this time, you will stay by your wife's side and protect yourself. β
Because Lin Wenqing is a woman after all, relying on the protection of Wulie and the army, Bi Jing can't do everything, Li Yinghong is also a woman, and she is good friends with Lin Wenqing, so it is of course most suitable for her to protect Lin Wenqing closely. In addition, Gao Yuan also faintly felt that there was something strange about this matter, and the other party's strength was very strong, so he used the name of protecting Lin Wenqing to separate Li Yinghong so as not to let her take the risk herself.
When Wu Lie heard this, he immediately said, "Okay, I'll arrange people immediately." After a pause, he said: "But Yinghong protects Wenqing alone, and it is still a little less, so let's let Hongya go with him, and the two of them can be companions, and they can discuss things if they have something." β
Gao Yuan nodded and said, "That's good." β
Lin Wenqing said again: "It's really hard for you to bother." β
Gao Yuan said: "Mrs. Wenqing, if someone contacts you and proposes to exchange Huan'er, you must not agree immediately, even if you agree, you can't trade with the other party immediately, no matter how the other party threatens, you must try your best to delay time, and wait for us to discuss a foolproof plan together." β
Lin Wenqing was stunned for a moment and said, "Why?" As long as I can get Huan'er back, even if it is bankrupt, I will not hesitate to do anything, as long as Huan'er is safe. β
Gao Yuan shook his head and said: "Mrs. Wenqing, I can understand your feelings, if you can really exchange money for Huan'er, I will also advise you to give up your wealth for others, but the other party's goal is not Huan'er, but money or other things, as long as their goal is not reached, Huan'er will be fine, on the contrary, if Mrs. agrees to the other party's conditions lightly, and even immediately meets the other party's requirements, then Mrs. will lose any conditions for negotiation with the other party, and Huan'er's life and death are all in the other party's thoughts." One can only hope that the conscience of the other party will find. However, since the other party dares to do these things, he will not be a kind-hearted person, so it is unreliable to rely on conscience. β
Of course, Lin Wenqing is not a lady who doesn't know anything, and he can do business to such a big point, although he relies on the protection of many forces, but Lin Wenqing's own wisdom and insight are also indispensable. It's just that he is eager to save his son, so he is a little disregardful, but being reminded by Gao Yuan, Lin Wenqing immediately understood, what Gao Yuan said is indeed reasonable, if he really agrees to the other party's request, after the other party succeeds, it is likely that he will not let go at all, but directly tear up the ticket. Therefore, he also nodded and said, "The orders of the adults, Wen Qing has written them down." β
Gao Yuan said to Li Yinghong again: "If someone really comes to contact Mrs. Wenqing and put forward conditions, no matter who it is, you can't act rashly, and try your best to find out the identity of the other party, but you can send someone to follow you secretly, understand?" β
Li Yinghong nodded and said, "I understand, you can rest assured." β
Gao Yuan then said: "Okay, I'll go to the General's Mansion now, and if there is any news, come to the General's Mansion to find me." β
Lin Wenqing also stood up, bowed deeply to Wu Lie and Gao Yuan, and said, "No matter whether you can save Huan'er this time, Wenqing should never forget your kindness." β
ββββββββ dividing lineβββββββββ dividing lineββββββββ "what?" How could there be such a thing? After listening to Gao Yuan finish telling the whole story, Li Mu, who had always been calm, also changed color a little.
Gao Yuan said: "General, there are some things that I can't say in the martial arts hall, I don't think this matter is as simple as it seems. Although Mrs. Wenqing is only a woman, she has a close relationship with the military of Zhao State, and has the protection of the general and the martial arts master. In Zhao Guo, he dared to make a move against Mrs. Wenqing, and there were so many people who were good at swordsmanship, there were only a handful. β
Li Mu frowned and said, "Do you suspect it's Guo Xiangguo?" "According to Gao Yuan's statement, I am afraid that there is only Guo Kai alone in the entire Zhao Kingdom.
Gao Yuan said: "From the perspective of qualified candidates, Guo Kai is the most likely, but he is not the only one, Zhao Cong, Zhao Jia, including the king, all have this ability, but there is one thing I still don't understand, no matter which one of them moves, if it is like borrowing Mrs. Wenchun to attack the general, then he should directly kill Mrs. Wenqing, so that the blow to the general is even greater, but the other party obviously had the opportunity to kill Mrs. Wenqing, but he gave up and just captured Huan'er, which is very unreasonable, Is there really anything special in Mrs. Wenqing's hands? β
Li Mu also felt that this matter was very tricky, and said, "What should we do now?"
Gao Yuan said: "I have asked the martial arts hall master to send someone to find clues, and now I can only wait for the results of their search." The other is to wait for someone to take the initiative to contact Mrs. Wenqing, but whether it is one of them, or someone else, it is not easy to deal with. β
Li Mu also nodded and said, "Okay, no matter who did it this time, as long as it is verified, I will definitely not let him go, even if it is Guo Kai." β
Waiting for the most unbearable, although Li Mu and Gao Yuan are both people who can hold their breath, they are also a little anxious, and before they know it, it has reached dusk, and Li Mu sent people to the martial arts hall twice in a row to inquire about the news, but there was no result. Wu Lie had already sent people to inquire about the city of Handan with the image, and the search outside the city had also expanded to fifty miles away, but there were still no valuable clues.
It's just that near the place where Lin Wenqing was ambushed, it was found that five people in a house were killed, all of them were killed by a sword, from the point of view of swordsmanship, it is very similar to this group of gray-clothed people, it can basically be judged that it is the temporary foothold of this group of people, but nothing of value was found in the house.
At this moment, Li Yinghong hurried back and reported a heavy news to Li Mu and Gao Yuan, and someone was indeed in contact with Mrs. Wenqing. However, there are some discrepancies between the situation and what Takahara expected.
It turned out that just now, Zhao Yang, the eldest son of the great Sima Zhao Cong, rushed to Lin Wenqing's house to greet Lin Wenqing, and also mentioned that Luo Huan was robbed, of course, he also said that he would do his best to help Lin Wenqing find Luo Huan.
Zhao Yang has always been pursuing Lin Wenqing, this is not a secret in Handan, although Lin Wenqing is unwilling, but he is the son of the great Sima of Zhao State, Lin Wenqing does not dare to offend him too much, so he has been with Zhao Yang and the snake, there is such a big thing, Zhao Yang rushed to greet him, it is also reasonable. And Lin Wenqing also expressed his gratitude to Zhao Yang out of politeness.
But Zhao Yang tactfully asked Lin Wenqing how Lin Wenqing would thank him if he could help Lin Wenqing find Luo Huan, and the subtext was, of course, to accept his pursuit. This attracted Lin Wenqing's attention, and Zhao Yang asked, was it intentional or unintentional? Is this really related to Zhao Yang, and his motive is just to force himself to marry?
Lin Wenchun remembered Gao Yuan's instructions, stabilized the other party, and delayed time, so he naturally agreed vaguely and gave Zhao Yang an ambiguous answer. But Zhao Yang thought that Lin Wenqing agreed, and left happily, and also said something to make Lin Wenqing wait for good news.
After Zhao Yang left, Lin Wenqing also hurriedly sent Li Yinghong back to Li Mu's mansion to report to Li Mu and Gao Yuan, and during the conversation between Lin Wenchun and Zhao Yang, Li Yinghong and Wu Hongyan both hid behind the screen and listened to protect Lin Wenqing's safety, so they also heard it very clearly, and also told Li Mu and Gao Yuan about their conversation as it was.
After listening to Li Yinghong's speech, Li Mu and Gao Yuan fell into contemplation again, could it be that this matter was really done by Zhao Yang, and the purpose was to force Lin Wenqing to marry. Then this whole thing is too simple, of course, it is not completely impossible, there are many things that seem complicated, but they are actually very simple, Zhao Yang is originally a disciple, even if he does this kind of thing, it is not impossible.
However, if this matter is really done by Zhao Yang, then Zhao Cong will definitely not be able to get rid of the relationship, because without Zhao Cong's permission, Zhao Yang will not be able to adjust so many swordsmanship. And Zhao Yang is young and ignorant, but Zhao Yang is so difficult that he doesn't understand, is there a consequence of doing this? Once the matter is revealed, Zhao Cong and Li Mu will be completely separated and completely antagonistic, and just for the sake of falling in love with a woman, will Zhao Cong dare to take such a big risk?
