Forced to be a concubine, I went to my husband's place to become a wealthy merchant

Chapter 400

Yan Wu then understood what the adults were thinking. Indeed, if they had hurried on the journey with the silver raised by the shopkeeper, they would definitely not have arrived before the agreed time.

Riding light saved them a lot of time, which they then used to make other deployments. It turned out that the adults were not dizzy.

After everything was ready, Yan Wu thought that the adults would be eager to rescue people.

As a result, the adults actually asked them to have a good rest and prepare for the upcoming battle.

Guard Xue was sent out by the adults to do some work, and he did not return until they set out for Zhoushan.

Yan Wu felt that the adults wanted to wait for Guard Xue to come back before setting out together, but he was afraid of wasting time, so he gritted his teeth and set out first.

When they arrived at the foot of Zhoushan Mountain, they waited for a long time.

The other party even arrived after the agreed time, and there were only two or three masked men.

They stood on a high place and asked the adults to open the box for inspection first. The adults signaled the person guarding the box to open it.

As soon as the box was opened, the golden reflected light was so bright that people could not open their eyes.

The masked man probably couldn't see clearly because he was too far away, so he just nodded silently, and then asked the adults to have someone carry the box to the middle of the mountain, and they, the guards, had to follow as well.

The adults did as the masked man said, and they always kept a distance between themselves and the masked man.

I can see the person, but I can't catch up with him for a while. The other party is probably well prepared and I can't catch him easily.

When they reached the halfway point of the mountain, the masked men demanded that the box be placed in a depression in the ground nearby and pushed out with force.

Yan Wu took a look at the place and found that it was actually a dug-out slide.

Because it is autumn, the temperature drops halfway up the mountain and there are occasional snowflakes, which is a typical example of different seasons on the mountain and at the foot of the mountain.

Yan Wu guessed that the kidnappers had deliberately poured water on the slide, and a thin layer of ice was obviously formed on the slide.

With a strong push, the box could easily slide from halfway up the mountain to the foot of the mountain.

Yan Wu felt a chill in his heart after seeing all this. In this way, the kidnappers would easily find the secret in the box. Wouldn't his wife be in danger?

The master did not immediately agree to the kidnapper's request. He asked to confirm his wife's safety first.

This made Yan Wu feel a little relieved, but he also secretly cursed himself. How could a person of the Lord's stature make such a mistake?

The masked man whistled, and then two people appeared from somewhere, holding a woman hostage.

As they were quite far away, Yan Wu couldn't see her face clearly, but judging from her figure and clothes, she looked like the lady.

There seems to be dried blood on the clothes. The lady is injured!

And looking at his limp and confused appearance, he must have suffered a lot.

Yan Wu stole a glance at the adult, and seeing the gloomy face, he knew that this group of people would probably not have a good end.

You have to know that usually the master takes care of the lady more carefully than his own eyes. If the lady has a small wound, he will hold the servants accountable. Now that he sees someone being tortured into this state, how can he let it go easily?

The master asked the other party to lift up his head and show his whole face, and he did so.

In fact, the distance was too far to make out her face clearly, but because of the other party's unhesitating actions, Yan Wu felt that this must be his wife without a doubt, otherwise the other party's acting skills would be too good.

The master said nothing, just stared at the lady motionlessly.

After a long time, the kidnapper lost his patience and started shouting if he wanted the person back, thus diverting the adults' attention.
