Travel through ancient times and become a great hero
Chapter 58 Chance Encounter
Several guards took orders and sat down to eat.
Charlotte returned to her room. She took a detoxifying pill before drinking the soup.
After returning, she drank another glass of spiritual spring water and lay on the bed waiting for them.
The woman in green was named Luluo, the daughter of Luo Yang, the master of the Eight Immortals Cave.
As the name suggests, the Eight Immortals Cave is the place where eight immortals live.
In fact, we are all mortals.
The cave owner Luo Yang was from Kyoto. He was once the Junior Minister of the Dali Temple. Because he offended the Right Prime Minister, his whole family was exiled to the southern border.
Later, the emperor issued a general amnesty, and his family was able to return to Beijing. However, everything in Beijing had changed. He returned to his hometown and was determined to learn martial arts. He worshipped the old cave master of the Eight Immortals Cave as his master.
Later, the old cave master passed away, and he took over as the cave master.
There are four people in charge of the Eight Immortals Cave:
Tiebushan was formerly a military secretary.
Wang Changyang was formerly the Vice-Chancellor.
Gu Ming was formerly the Privy Councilor.
Sheng Qing was formerly a Grand Secretary.
Another layer of relationship is that Tiebushan and Luoyang are cousins. Luoyang's mother is Tiebushan's aunt.
They were all implicated by Luo Yang and exiled to southern Xinjiang. After returning to Beijing, they had nothing to do, so they went to Luo Yang.
Their way of life is to rob the rich and give to the poor.
When they heard that the richest woman in Mobei Kingdom passed by, they wanted to kidnap her.
But seeing that Charlotte was surrounded by many soldiers and warriors, they did not dare to act rashly.
Tiebushan was also among them.
As soon as Charlotte went downstairs, he felt inexplicably familiar.
He looks a lot like his older sister when she was young. He is even more delicate than his older sister, with shrewdness and intelligence in his eyes.
Then I thought again, there are too many people alike in the world, so I became indifferent.
Luoluo didn't think so. She thought Xia Luo looked like a coquettish woman because the look she gave her was full of contempt and disregard.
Who is she? If any woman dares to look at her like that, she will dig out her eyes and kick them like a ball.
She was so furious that if Tie Zhushi hadn't stopped her, she would have gone up and killed her.
Charlotte never expected that just that one look would attract hatred.
Before they finished their meal, Luluo left. Situ Jin also noticed it.
Situ Jin gave a look to the guards, asking them to go upstairs to protect Charlotte.
But it's too late.
The room was empty.
Master and disciple Jin had a feeling at that time that Charlotte wanted to explore the origins of these people. It was impossible to enter the space.
He quickly asked Deputy Commander Ye to seal off the inn.
No one is allowed to leave. Our lady has disappeared in the inn. We need to check all suspicious people. "
"Your people are missing in the inn. You should go find the owner or the government. Why don't you let us go?" a merchant shouted in a dignified manner.
"Yes, we are all civilians. There is no point in detaining us."
"Dear guests, we will delay you for half an hour. If we can't find the person, we will let you go. Don't worry." Deputy Commander Ye said calmly.
"That's more like it, but the man disappeared just after he went upstairs. Could there be a flower thief?"
People below were talking about it, and Situ Jin came to the room where Xia Luo lived.
He asked everyone to guard outside the door while he was looking for the token left by Charlotte.
He searched the bed but didn't see any special marks.
Just as I was about to go out, I saw a small piece of paper on the door socket.
If you don't look carefully, you might think it's a cork.
"Please stay for one day. Luo." That meant that they should wait in the inn for a day.
This is obvious. He drank the poisonous soup on purpose to lure the snake out of its hole.
Situ Jin knew how powerful Xia Luo was, but he was still worried that she might make some mishaps.
Situ Jin ordered the blockade to be lifted and sat in Charlotte's room waiting.
The guards didn't know what he was thinking.
I saw the general staying in his wife's room and not coming out.
I thought he was thinking of a solution.
Situ Jin was indeed thinking of a solution.
He wondered where Charlotte had gone.
Suddenly, he turned and left the room, mounting Charlotte's horse.
"Don't follow me, just wait here."
It turned out that Charlotte was lying on the bed in the inn, waiting for her kidnapper.
After waiting for a long time and seeing no one coming, she wrote a note and put it on the door socket. She knew that Situ Jin was careful and would definitely find it. But she was afraid that others would find it, so she made it into a wooden plug.
She was ready to take the initiative.
She jumped out of the window, hid in the corner, and waited for the woman in green to appear.
Sure enough, he saw the woman in green coming out of the inn, jumping onto the roof from the other side, and sneaking into her room through the window.
But when she saw that there was no one there, she became a little anxious. She searched the room haphazardly, but found nothing. So she jumped out of the window in disappointment and left.
Charlotte followed all the way to the Eight Immortals Cave.
She was afraid of being discovered, so she went straight into the space.
Standing in the space, drinking the spiritual spring water while observing the outside, he took out his gas mask and put it on, and then put on his nightgown.
After waiting for about an hour, Tiebushan and his group came back.
When Charlotte saw them open the cave door and walk inside, he left the space and followed behind them.
Because she was wearing night clothes, the light in the cave was not very good even during the day. She did not move, standing in the corner, and no one noticed her.
"Didn't you go to kidnap the richest woman? Why do you all come back with droopy heads?" Cave Master Luo Yang said grimly.
"Dad, that woman was kidnapped by someone." Luoluo pouted, looking very unhappy.
"Who is so bold as to snatch business from this cave master?" Luo Yang looked at Tie Bushan.
"Logically, the soup was poisonous and would make someone fall down in seven steps. Not only did she drink it all, but she also walked up the stairs without any confusion. Only the God of Medicine could cure this seven-step knockdown. Could she be his disciple?" This was the first time Tie Bushan had met such a strange person.
"Impossible, who knows where the old weird God of Medicine has gone? How could he accept a disciple when he is so weird?" Wang Changyang didn't believe that the old weird God of Medicine could accept a disciple.
"Boss Tie, go and investigate who this woman is? Who does she have close contact with?" Xia Luo's identity aroused Luo Yang's interest.
"Dad, that woman is just a vixen. She must have made her money by relying on men. It's hard to say whether she is the richest person." Luoluo curled her lips with disdain.
"Since we are with the soldiers from the Northern Frontier, let's go to the palace and ask." Gu Ming suggested.
"My cousin is working in the palace. I will send him a message tomorrow. I heard them call her Madam. Whose Madam? We must find out." Grand Secretary Sheng Qing was the most rational.
"Okay, an important figure is going to pass by here tonight. This was spread by the people around the queen in the palace. We must be prepared. They will give one thousand taels of silver first. If the body is intact, they will give ten thousand taels of silver." Luo Yang looked at everyone.
"We can rob people of their money, but we don't recommend killing people." Tiebushan has always been against killing.
"If we don't take this order, what will we eat and drink? These people below are relying on us for their livelihood. You say you're robbing the rich to help the poor, but how much can you give to the common people? I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you've been scared after a trip to southern Xinjiang." Luo Yang said confidently.
"It's indeed not easy for us here, but we all have families. We have all been officials and know that there will be a price to pay for killing important people. I don't want to lose the life I have worked so hard to get." Tiebushan persuaded Luo Yang earnestly.
"I don't care. I will never forget how they treated me. If you don't want to go, I will take them with me."
