Chapter 158 I want to take the young lady back to the capital
Zheng Ke's expression became solemn, "In that case, I will go back and report to the prince..."
As he spoke, his hand shook and a handful of white smoke instantly enveloped Liu Rumei.
Liu Rumei was caught off guard. Obviously, he would not have thought that his father's right-hand man, Zheng Ke, who had watched him grow up, would suddenly attack him.
She didn't even have time to shout. She swayed a few times and then fell down on the table with a thud.
Fascinated by Liu Rumei, Zheng Ke stood up, came to the door of the living room, and shouted outside, "Liu Ce, come here."
Hearing the call to him, Liu Ce hurried to him. Zheng Ke pointed at Liu Rumei and said, "I want to take the young lady back to the capital. You will take care of things here for the time being. The second young master will come over and take over everything in a few days."
Liu Ce looked hesitant, "Brother Zheng, aren't you afraid of the prince's punishment for taking the young lady away like this?"
Zheng Ke had a gloomy face, cupped his fists with both hands, and raised his hand toward the northwest.
"The prince gave me a death order. No matter what method is used, the young lady must be brought back. I had no choice but to take this step."
"But the Imperial Master has already..."
Zheng Ke raised his hand to stop Newt from continuing, "I already know the situation, and I will report it to the prince truthfully. Thank you for your hard work."
After saying that, he waved.
A man in black brought a carriage over. Zheng Ke directed the people to help Liu Rumei in, and called her two personal maids, Xiao Qing and Xiao Hong, to come and ask them to get on the carriage together.
"Brother Liu Ce, take care." After saying that, Zheng Ke led the people to fly onto their horses and escorted the carriage slowly out of the back door of Liu Mansion.
Liu Rumei was the backbone. As soon as he left, everything in the Liu family was in chaos.
Several young people surrounded Liu Ce, chattering and arguing non-stop.
"Brother Liu, lead us to rush forward and rescue the young lady."
Liu Ce's eyes widened, "Nonsense, Brother Zheng was sent by the prince, and you went to rob the young lady. What does this mean?"
After speaking, he looked at everyone present and said, "Everyone, please be careful these two days and don't make any mistakes. When the Second Young Master arrives, we will return to the capital."
"But Ma Xiaoyi and the others are still in Qingniu Mountain." Someone suddenly shouted.
This shout reminded Liu Ce, Liu Ziming, and Liu Ziliang that they were still watching at Qingniu Mountain. That's all. Go to Hetou Village tomorrow to handle this matter.
At this time, Chen Xiaobo drove the donkey cart and turned off the official road. After walking a few miles further, he entered Hetou Village.
Chen Ping signaled to Sun Gui and Sun Qing, and they jumped out of the car.
"Xiaobo, you can go back by yourself. I will come back when it gets late."
Chen Xiaobo also knew about the grievances between Chen Ping and Chen Xiaobei, so he didn't say anything more and drove away in the donkey cart.
Waiting for Chen Xiaobo to walk away, Chen Ping pointed to a small forest nearby and said, "Let's rest here first and then go into the mountain when it gets dark."
Okay, going into the mountains after dark suits Sun Gui and Sun Qing's wishes.
Sun Qing chuckled, "Okay, I brought some wine and food when I came here, so we just have a meal first."
Sun Qing and Sun Gui really know how to enjoy life.
The two of them brought wine and food and had a great time eating and drinking.
After eating and drinking, and then having a good sleep, the sky turned dark.
Seeing how dark it was outside, Sun Qing stood up and said, "Brother Chen Ping, let's go into the mountain."
"Okay, go into the mountains, go into the mountains."
Chen Ping lit a torch and walked in front, followed by Sun Gui and Sun Qing. The three of them walked around the path and ran towards Qingniu Mountain from outside Hetou Village.
At this time, brothers Liu Ziming and Liu Ziliang were still squatting outside the village when they saw fire coming.
Liu Ziliang hurriedly called to his brother in a low voice, "Brother, it seems someone is coming."
The two of them stared, cheered up, and looked at the visitor carefully, feeling excited in their hearts.
They didn't know anyone else, but they still knew Sun Gui. After all, Sun Gui was considered the number one person on Goshawk Mountain.
Seeing them showing their traces, the two of them were very excited. After staring for so many days, they finally found the traces of these guys.
Seeing Chen Ping leading them towards Qingniu Mountain, the two began to hesitate on whether to follow them up the mountain.
In the end, it was Liu Ziming who made the final decision, "Brother, let's stay at the foot of the mountain. He will have to come out sooner or later after entering the mountain."
The two of them made up their minds, quietly left the hiding place, and headed towards the foot of Qingniu Mountain.
Sun Gui and Sun Qing followed Chen Ping into Qingniu Mountain and had only walked three or four miles. Suddenly Sun Gui pointed ahead and said, "There seems to be someone."
Sun Qing pretended to be surprised and hurriedly said, "Hide quickly."
Chen Ping didn't know what was going on, so he was surrounded by two people and got into the nearby woods.
"Where is he?" Before Chen Ping could finish his sentence, he suddenly felt a heat in his abdomen.
The next moment, Sun Gui covered his mouth.
Chen Ping suddenly woke up, but it was too late.
His eyes were getting darker and darker, and his body became limp and fell to the ground.
Seeing Chen Ping fall to the ground, Sun Qing spat hard.
"Hmph, don't talk so much in the next life."
After saying that, he rubbed the short knife against Chen Ping's body and put it away again.
Sun Gui waved his hand, "Okay, okay, everyone is dead, let's go back quickly."
At the bottom of Qingniu Mountain, brothers Liu Ziming and Liu Ziliang had just found a good place when they saw a flash of torch and Sun Gui came down the mountain. However, there were only three of them when they went up the mountain, but one was missing when they came down.
After returning in such a short time, the two of them couldn't figure out what they were doing in the mountains.
But these don't matter. The important thing is to follow the person and don't lose him.
Sun Gui and Sun Qing were also unprepared. They left Hetou Village holding torches, turned onto the official road and went straight to Xiaojia Town.
This brought great convenience to the two brothers Liu Ziming and Liu Ziliang. They could just follow the light in the distance without getting too close.
Following them all the way, Sun Qing and Sun Gui returned to Xiaojia Town.
Seeing the two of them enter the inn, brothers Liu Ziming and Liu Ziliang felt at ease.
After finding the residence of Sun Jian and the others, we had to go back quickly to report the news.
At this time, Qingniu County was fifty miles north. Zheng Ke also led his people to stop in a dense forest. In order not to expose his traces, he did not dare to stay in an inn, so he could only choose to spend one night in the wild.
Looking at Liu Rumei who was still unconscious, Xiao Qing asked worriedly, "Uncle Zheng, please wake up the lady and let her eat something, otherwise she won't starve."
Zheng Ke thought for a while and ordered someone to fetch a rope and tie Liu Rumei up. Then he took out a small white porcelain bottle from his arms, held it out in front of Liu Rumei's nose and shook it.
With little effort, Liu Rumei let out an ouch and there was movement.
After squinting her eyes for a long time to adjust, Liu Rumei raised her head and looked at Xiaoqing, "I'm hungry, I want to eat."
There was no crying, no yelling, not even a hint of extreme reaction, it was as calm as if you were at home.
This actually made Zheng Ke feel a little guilty. He stepped forward and clasped his fists and said, "Miss, I'm sorry, I..."
Liu Rumei hugged him and smiled, "It was my ignorance that put Uncle Zheng in trouble."
