Chapter 259: Kidnapped
Xue Qing looked at Xiao Hei in surprise: "Why don't you accept it? Then you can be called the North Star, mysterious and lofty. We can't just call you Gao Yuan, right?"
Xue Qing seemed to see Xiao Hei glaring at her and found it very interesting.
Jiang Yi: "Qing'er, I'll ride with you first after we set off."
An hour later, the caravan slowly set off.
This time, Xue Qing and Jiang Yi did not take a carriage. Instead, they rode Xiao Hei together. Xue Qing did not change his name in the end. After all, the horse was the property of the caravan. How could she change someone else's name!
As the caravan set off, a dozen people from the border rode on their horses and rushed towards the crescent moon.
The sky gradually darkened. Xue Qing was very excited on the ride and sang, "Let us be companions of the mortal world, live freely and unrestrainedly, gallop on horseback to share the prosperity of the world, sing and drink to express the joy in our hearts, and seize the youth vigorously..."
It was the first time Jiang Yi heard Xue Qing sing, and also the first time she saw her so happy. She couldn't help but be infected by Xue Qing's happiness.
"Qing'er, what are you singing? I've never heard of it before."
Xue Qing: "Sister Jiang, you teach me how to ride a horse, and I will teach you how to sing."
Cheng Niu knew that Xue Qing wanted to learn horse riding. Although he was in front, his heart had already flown back to guard Xue Qing. When Xue Qing was singing, he was not far in front. Listening to Xue Qing's singing, he suddenly became more energetic. Only she could sing such a unique song.
Listening to Xue Qing teaching Jiang Yi, he couldn't help but hum along.
The caravan that was closer to Xue Qing felt relieved when they saw the young master singing happily.
Some guards, coachmen, servants, and storytellers sitting in the carriages also started singing along.
Only then did I realize that singing is such a joyful thing.
Gao Yi had a loving smile on her face at the back, but she didn't relax either. She kept paying attention to the movements around her. Fortunately, everything went smoothly.
When it was completely dark, they finally arrived at the foot of Taihang Mountains.
People at this time were not as tired as usual, but they still stopped and decided to spend the night here.
After the caravan stopped, they set up camp in an open space at the foot of the mountain. Because this was where the caravan always stopped, they were very familiar with the environment here and knew that there was a spring flowing down from the mountain, which was very clear.
They rushed there eagerly to get water for cooking.
Seeing that people were crowding there to get water, Xue Qing didn't let Jiang Yi join in and took out the water in the carriage to use.
Jiang Yi felt something was wrong: "Qing'er, leave these here, I'll go get some water over there"
Xue Qing shook her head: "Sister Jiang, let's use this water first, and when they have all finished fetching water, we will go get water. This way, we won't have to squeeze with them, right?"
The most important reason is that she doesn't drink water from the mountains very often, and she has spring water in the space, which is absolutely nutritious, healthy and delicious.
While the two were eating, Cheng Niu brought over a large bowl of noodle soup: "Miss Wu, Miss Jiang, I always eat the food you cook. This is the noodle soup made by our guard team. It tastes great. Come, have a taste!"
Xue Qing and Jiang Yi didn't bother to be polite with Cheng Niu. They brought the food over, poured a bowl each, and ate it with the dry food and vegetables they brought with them.
"Sister Jiang, it tastes really good!" The two of them quickly finished the soup in their bowls.
Cheng Niu often came to Xue Qing's place to eat and drink, and he knew that Jiang Yi's cooking was very delicious, so this time he finally returned the favor.
After everyone finished their meal, sleepiness came over them like a tide, and soon everyone fell into a drowsiness.
At this time, a group of mysterious people in black appeared quietly, and their figures looked particularly eerie under the moonlight.
These men in black had sharp eyes and quick movements, and it seemed that they already knew their target well.
When they saw Xue Qing, they didn't say anything to each other, but lifted him up quickly and tacitly, and then walked away silently in an unknown direction.
Xue Qing was half asleep and half awake, and vaguely felt his body shaking constantly, as if he was in a small boat in the midst of strong winds and huge waves.
He tried to open his heavy eyelids, but he had no strength and his consciousness could not be fully awake.
It felt like being tightly bound by an invisible force and unable to break free.
An unknown amount of time had passed before Xue Qing slowly opened her eyes. When she woke up, she felt a splitting headache, as if countless steel needles were stabbing her brain.
He tried hard to recall what happened before, but could only capture some vague fragments. He fell asleep in the carriage, and before that he was eating...
Where are you now?
Xue Qing didn't make any movement. He closed his eyes and listened quietly for any sound.
It was very quiet, and then I slowly opened my eyes. It was pitch black. I felt that my limbs could move, and I touched the surroundings. The ground was hard.
Slowly adapting to the darkness around him, Xue Qing opened his eyes wide and looked in front of him. Behind him, there seemed to be a pile of firewood.
I smelled the place carefully and it smelled moldy.
It seems that I have been kidnapped. I am curious about how much silver I am worth?
The sky gradually brightened and no roosters could be heard crowing, which meant there were no farmers around, so this was inside the town.
The air was filled with the smell of stale firewood and dust, which made him cough a few times.
She tried to sit up, but found her limbs limp.
Xue Qing endured the discomfort and tried to listen to the surroundings. At this time, he heard someone talking outside. Although the voice was not loud, it was very clear in this quiet environment.
A slightly rough voice said, "It's troublesome to keep this kid around, so just kill him to prevent future troubles."
Another voice was a little deeper and responded with a bit of cunning: "Don't be so impulsive. It would be a pity to kill him. You should make full use of him before you act stupid. Maybe you can squeeze some useful information out of him, or use him and his family to get some benefits."
Xue Qing's heart instantly sank to the bottom of the valley, and a chill rose from her spine. She tried hard to recall why she had fallen into this situation, but she couldn't remember it.
Xue Qing tried to find a chance to escape. She rolled her eyes and looked around the woodshed.
Apart from the mountains of firewood, there was only a small window, through which a few faint rays of light came.
She moved her body with difficulty, trying to get closer to the window to check what was happening outside, but accidentally bumped into the pile of firewood beside her, making a slight noise.
The conversation outside stopped abruptly. The moment of silence made Xue Qing's heartbeat suddenly speed up. She held her breath nervously, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
Then, there was a sound of footsteps, getting closer and closer...
