Luan's return today

Chapter 19 Hostage
"Young one... I don't know, I don't know them." The waiter answered with a trembling voice.

"You don't know? You obviously belong to the same group, but you don't tell the truth, and you want to get beaten, don't you?" Mingyu rolled up his cuffs again as he spoke, pretending to strike again.

Seeing Mingyu's movements, the shop clerk twisted to the side in fear, feeling a piercing pain sweeping over him, and couldn't help groaning.

"Don't, don't...don't do it, I said, I said."

Through the words of the waiter, Jiang Yue found out that the man in black had been observing the place for a long time, and had reserved all the guest rooms here a few days ago, waiting for their arrival.

And the family members of all the people in the store were also controlled by the men in black and they had to listen to them and drug themselves.

"Since they arrested your relatives, why didn't they report to the authorities?" Jiang Yue clasped the table with one hand, pondered for a while, thinking about the credibility of the shop's second words.

"How dare you! That's a group of desperadoes, what if a bad guy kills them."

The waiter's voice weakened slightly, "It's not that none of us reported to the officials, but as soon as the name of our inn was mentioned, the official lord directly dismissed the complaint, and none of them were promoted."

"Then we had no choice but to do what they told us."

Hearing this, Jiang Yue and Mingyu exchanged glances with the three of them, all of them looked thoughtful. It seems that these people have a lot of background, and they can't even control the government.

However, this seemed to explain why he was the only one who was attacked at night, and he could have poisoned the food, but he was only drugged.

I'm afraid they are afraid of Li Xing Li Yuan's identity, after all, they were given to her by Chu Yao at the gate of Shangshu Mansion in front of everyone.

So these people have been following you since the capital?

Who will these people instigate?Jiang Yue secretly guessed in her heart, and clasped her right hand on the table, with an extremely rhythmic sense.

It seems that in the capital, she has only offended two people, one is Shen Shen, and the other is Zhou Ting, could it be the two of them?
After being silent for a while, Jiang Yue returned to her senses and asked, "Do you know where your family is being held?"

The waiter thought that no one was talking because he was frightened, but when he heard Jiang Yue's question, his eyes lit up, he raised his head eagerly, and looked at Jiang Yue, "My lord means..."

Seeing Jiang Yue nod her head slightly, the waiter hurriedly said: "I know, I know, I know, thank you, my lord, thank you, my lord..."

Jiang Yue signaled Ming Yu to untie Xiao Er, "Give him a bottle of golden sore medicine." Then she said to Xiao Er, "Go to the side and heal the wound, and we will go."

After the shop waiter left, Mingyu didn't understand what Jiang Yue was doing, so he asked, "General, the time for our trip to Jiangnan is already tight, and now..."

"The purpose of our trip to the south of the Yangtze River is to help the people. There are no people who are in distress and don't save them. Besides, they were implicated because of us. If they just stand by and watch like this, they will feel uneasy."

Li Xing agreed with Jiang Yue's words. Hearing such words, he seemed to know why his master looked at Jiang Yue with admiration.

"We can't leave Danyang Town at the moment. The poison on the general's body should not be vigorously exercised, otherwise it will trigger the onset of the toxin. I'm afraid it will be impossible to ride a horse to go to the official road."

"But if you go by water, it will take ten and a half months until the next ferry... It's too long. I don't know if the princess can last until then."

Li Yuan and Li Xing looked at each other, and took Li Xing's words, "So we can only see if we can buy medicinal materials here tomorrow, and first detoxify the princess, before going to the south of the Yangtze River?"

Li Xing nodded, that's what he meant.

"Since we're going to stay here for a day or two, the men in black haven't succeeded today, so I'm afraid they won't let it go. Instead of passively waiting for them to arrive, it's better to take the initiative to solve the hidden dangers."

Jiang Yue's words were flat, facing the poison taking root in her body, she didn't have any panic, she calmly ordered various matters.

Only then did Mingyu understand, and he couldn't help thinking to himself: Don't let him catch the person behind, or...

"Since the general can't exercise vigorously, I will go with Li Yuan to rescue their family members. The general is poisoned, and it is safer for Li Xing to watch from the side."

Mingyu's idea was unanimously agreed by everyone.

After the few of them had discussed it, they heard a knock on the door, "My lord, can we go?"

Mingyu and Li Yuan went out from the guest room, "Let's go!"

The waiter saw Ming Yu and Li Yuan, with worried faces, clicked their tongues, and asked cautiously, "My lord? Just the three of us?"

Ming Yu thought of Jiang Yue's poisoning when he saw Xiaoer Dian, so he naturally had no good tone to Xiaoer Dian, "Why, who do you want?"

"Won't that young master of yours go? Hehe... It's not that I don't believe you two, after all, there is strength in numbers!" The waiter rubbed his hands together and laughed awkwardly.

"You still have the nerve to mention our son, if it weren't for you..."

"Mingyu!" Li Yuan stopped Mingyu from talking, and shook his head towards him. It is not appropriate to let others know about Jiang Yue's poisoning.

Mingyu came to his senses in an instant, snorted at the waiter, and stopped talking.

The waiter in the shop was just eating based on people's faces. When he saw that Mingyu and the two stopped talking, he knew that this matter could not be known to him. It seemed that their young master didn't ask any more questions because of something happened to him. with worries.

He didn't know what Mingyu's kung fu was like, and it was hard to inquire, so he could only lead the way slowly.

Until the waiter brought them to an abandoned old house, and said to Mingyu, "This is it."

Li Yuan saw that the protection outside was not strict, and he didn't hear any sound inside, so he said to Ming Yu, "You guys wait here, I'll go in and check first."

After speaking, he relaxed and disappeared in front of the two of them.

The shop waiter was dumbfounded, "This... this... is this going in?"

Seeing Xiao Er's ignorant appearance, Ming Yu didn't want to talk to him very much, so he just glanced at him lightly.

After a while, Li Yuan came back with a slightly strange expression on his face.

"What's wrong?" Mingyu asked.

"There are very few people inside, but the hostages are still there. Logically speaking, there should not be such a small number of people. It seems that they are not worried at all that anyone will be rescued."

"Oh, be silly, maybe there aren't that many people, don't scare yourself, save someone earlier, go back sooner."

Li Yuan suppressed his uneasiness and nodded, he explained the layout of the mansion to Ming Yu in detail, looked at each other with Ming Yu, the two nodded, and went in from one side.

I saw a small courtyard in the center, surrounded by ten men of high grade and three rough, each carrying a knife.
