Chapter 244 Come to the door
Feeling the growing murderous intent from Luo Xiaoran, Tu Ye's eyes were filled with sincerity and pleading:
"It is precisely because I am a constable that Lord An only comes to me for official business. He will let his servants handle other matters, so I really don't know where Lord An has taken the person!"
Luo Xiaoran ignored Tu Ye's pleas for mercy and increased the strength in her hands bit by bit, and the dagger pierced deeper into her heart.
"Think carefully, what unusual things have happened in the county government recently?"
Luo Xiaoran had a hunch that the people who kidnapped Zhao Xiaobing and his men were the same group of people who kidnapped Luo Xingchen and Niu Dan. As long as she found Zhao Xiaobing, she would be able to find Luo Xingchen and Niu Dan.
The dagger was still pushing deeper into the flesh. The shadow of death loomed over Butcher, causing his brain, which was rarely used, to start working rapidly.
"I figured it out! I figured it out!"
Mr. Tu's beard was shaking violently and he spoke very quickly.
"Say!"
He lowered his head to glance at the dagger that was inserted into his heart. Although it had not penetrated deep into his skin, the chilling coldness seemed to have passed through his flesh and blood into his heart.
The butcher spoke tremblingly:
"I don't know why, but since a few days ago, the fetuses of Miss Yingchun and Miss Qiuxiang have been a little unstable, and Master An is very worried.
In the past few days, every morning he sent people to the Hulu Temple outside the city to get the elixir made by the Taoist priest in the temple and gave it to the two girls to take, saying that it could protect the pregnancy.
Speaking of which, the Hulu Temple is built in the deep mountains and old forests, which is a good place for Tibetans. "
"Very good! Thank you for your cooperation. I hope you can open your eyes in the next life and stop working for scum like An Luhai."
Luo Xiaoran found out the place and planned to kill Master Tu there and then.
But Master Tu didn't want to die like this, so he quickly begged for mercy:
"Ms. Luo, no no no, Aunt Luo, don't kill me!
I am a constable just to make a living! I have no other relationship with that old thief An.
From now on, I, the butcher, will be your man, Aunt Luo! Leaving me in the county government as an insider is more cost-effective than killing me directly!"
Luo Xiaoran smiled. This is exactly what you wanted to hear.
"Why should I trust you?"
"When you were forced to shave your head by that old thief An Luhai, His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan rescued you. You are someone that His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan values. Isn't it better for me to follow you than to follow that old thief An?"
Yo! Luo Xiaoran raised her eyebrows.
Although this butcher is big and strong, he is also very considerate and most importantly, he knows how to judge the situation!
"I can not kill you, but..."
Before Luo Xiaoran finished speaking, Tu Ye quickly expressed his loyalty:
"Old Butcher will be Grandma Luo's man from now on. I will go through fire and water for her, no matter what!"
Seeing how sensible he was, Luo Xiaoran retracted the dagger and said, "Just call me Luo Xiaoran."
"I'd better call you Miss Luo!" Tu Ye felt that he still didn't dare to call her by her name, and then he was about to undress her to check her wound.
"It's not a big deal. I know my limits!" Luo Xiaoran said coldly. Then Master Tu stopped what he was doing and waited for Luo Xiaoran's orders.
"Which direction is Huluguan?"
"The gourd-shaped mountain next to Anshan is Hulu Mountain, and Hulu Temple is an unknown small Taoist temple inside. The city gate has been locked now. Tomorrow morning, I will take Miss Luo to Hulu Temple."
"No need to wait until tomorrow, let's go now!"
"But the city gate has been locked!" Master Tu thought that Luo Xiaoran didn't understand what he said.
Luo Xiaoran tilted her head to look at him, "Then why don't you just grab the key and open the door and go out?"
With such a high wall, once the gates were locked, it would be difficult to get in from outside the city, but from inside the city... wouldn't it be possible to get out if you had the key? Besides, the soldiers guarding Fuyuan County were always lazy.
Master Tu: ...I'm so glad that I don't have to go against you in the future.
……
Although Hulu Mountain is adjacent to An Mountain, one is outside the city and the other is inside the city.
To reach the foot of Hulu Mountain outside the city, you need to go out of the city and make a big detour.
Unlike the short and delicate Anshan, Hulu Mountain is tall and steep, covered with trees and thorns. Without a guide, it would be difficult to find the Hulu Temple hidden in the mountains in a short time.
"Miss Luo, the mountain road is difficult to walk on, please be careful." Uncle Tu led the way with a torch in hand, then turned around and gave instructions to Luo Xiaoran behind him.
"Don't worry about me, just lead the way."
Luo Xiaoran did not hold a torch. She followed Tu Ye closely, observing her surroundings with all her heart and soul to prevent any unexpected "surprises" in the woods, such as wild beasts.
Fortunately, the two of them were lucky. After climbing for more than an hour, they finally reached Hulu Temple.
What Luo Xiaoran didn't know was that the torch in Butcher's hand happened to be seen by the children who escaped.
However, the children only saw Uncle Tu and ignored Luo Xiaoran in the dark.
All the children naturally thought that Master Tu was here to catch them, so they all held their breath and didn't make a sound, and the two groups missed each other.
The candles were still lit in the Hulu Temple and the elixir would take another half hour to prepare.
"After the Taoist priest got Li Zhong's heart, he not only had no doubts, but also praised it repeatedly, saying that this heart was bigger than the hearts of ordinary boys and girls, and it might have miraculous effects."
As the originator of the idea, the skinny man was very proud.
The short man was still worried. "We have passed the test tonight. Tomorrow we will send away the people who came to get the elixir. We will also give the Taoist a knockout drug so that he can have a good sleep. We must quickly capture those little beggars!"
"Oh!" The thick-lipped man waved his hand. "In that case, let's go to bed early. We'll be busy tomorrow!"
The three were about to go back to the house to rest when the door of Hulu Temple was suddenly kicked open from outside.
In order to prevent anyone from recognizing him inside, Tu Ye tore off a piece of cloth from his clothes and covered his face. He also kindly asked Luo Xiaoran if she wanted to cover her face as well.
Luo Xiaoran shook her head, and the next second, she kicked open the door of Hulu Temple.
Looking at Luo Xiaoran's fierce actions, Tu Ye's blindfolded mouth opened wide, and he was secretly glad that he chose to stand on Luo Xiaoran's side.
"Where did you lock the child?" Luo Xiaoran asked directly without saying a word.
The thick-lipped man looked at the man and woman who suddenly appeared. He didn't know whether they were human or ghosts, and he was so scared that he lost all his sleepiness.
"who are you?"
"I'll ask again, where did you keep the kidnapped children?"
Although she was not 100% sure that the child was kidnapped by An Luhai's men, and even less sure that the child was kidnapped here, Luo Xiaoran still asked the question in such a simple and rude way.
Her fists clenched tightly, her breathing became heavier, and many thoughts flashed through her mind.
If Chen'er and Niu Dan were not here, then she really didn't know where to find them.
