Xiaolin's hands behind his back and his feet were tied up with a finger-thick hemp rope. He couldn't get up at this moment, and could only sit on the ground made of straw.

And that person, after hearing Xiaolin's words, smiled lightly. He squatted down, looked at Xiaolin, and said, "I have a name from the Central Plains. You can call me Jinse. It's "Jinse for no reason." Strings, one string and one column to think about the year of Hua Nian" that "Jinse", a poem from your Central Plains, isn't it very artistic?"

Xiaolin didn't think his arty name had any artistic conception, but he could tell that this leader was indeed a little different from those Nanyang spies. This person spoke more like a Central Plains accent, had handsome bones, and was not so tall and strong.

But judging from his facial features, Xiaolin felt that this person had similarities with Qing Yu Guoshi, like a mixed blood from the Central Plains and foreign races.

Xiao Lin shrank back, warming his cold hands, avoiding the man's cold gaze, and said, "I've never met you before, what are you doing here?"

Jinse is actually Arut, a Nanyang wizard. Xiaolin doesn't know his real identity, but the sinister aura emanating from this person seems to be similar to the magic stick national teacher, obviously he is not a good person.

Jinse has been staring at Xiaolin's face since he came in, as if admiring or jealous, he raised his skinny and slender finger, and pulled the man's chin with all his strength.

"But I'm old acquaintances with your Gu Hou Ye." Jin Se suddenly approached her face and said.

Seeing people approaching, Xiao Lin turned his face away and said, "What are you doing?!"

Jinse's cold hand traced Xiao Lin's face like a snake, and even leaned over to stretch Xiao Lin's cheek.Tongue sticking out the letter, the tone was still lukewarm: "Does the surname Gu like your type? You said that if I fucked you here, would he be overwhelmed with pain?"

Xiaolin endured the nausea and avoided touching people, and when she heard this and looked over, some kind of excitement and desire rose in Jinse's eyes.Look, the ferocious expression on that face is more vivid than before.

After hearing this, Xiaolin couldn't help shrinking back a little, still looked at the person, and said without fear: "You arrested me just to threaten Gu Muchen? Then don't dream, I would rather die than suffer from you." humiliation."

Jinse seemed to have had enough of teasing, stood up with a smile, and said: "It seems that the prince is quite upright, but Gu Muchen broke my deal in Nanxiafang, killed my men, and burned my goods. I will definitely settle this account with him severely."

Then he looked down at him and said, "My lord is waiting for your lord Hou here, and exchange you with all the fire oil that was stolen from me."

After saying this, Jinse smiled and walked away. The door of the warehouse was closed, and the inside returned to darkness and peace.

Xiaolin looked at this place, frowned and thought about what Jinse said just now, thinking that the other party wanted to use him as a bait to lure Gu Muchen to come, and then there must be a net for Gu Muchen to throw himself into the net. .

Xiaolin didn't want to sit still, maybe he could do something, so he cast his eyes on the pungent spices piled up in a corner of the warehouse.

...

Gu Muchen traveled to Wu'an County with his master from Xuanwu Academy, and because it was getting late, they stopped at a local inn.

This study tour was mainly for the masters of the Academy of Arts. When they saw that the dean had arranged for Han Li to go with him, they didn't understand. At first, they felt that he, a martial artist, didn't know the elegance of a literati, and it was a bit out of place to follow them.

However, Han Li easily subdued the robbers who blocked the road a few times. Only then did he realize the importance of taking a martial artist with him when he went out, so he developed admiration for Han Li.

If it wasn't because of Gu Mushen's presence, Han Li wouldn't be bothered to follow this group of sour scholars, and his ears would be smoked by the "Zhihu Zheye" of those masters along the way.

At this time, Gu Muchen was sitting behind the desk in the room, and the hand on the table was holding a white fat jade pendant, which was given to him by Xiaolin in the palace back then, it was regarded as a token of love.

At this time, Gu Muchen's face was extremely gloomy, and his hand holding the jade pendant tightened more and more. It was because he heard Canyue's report that Xiaolin was kidnapped by Nanyang spies that made him so angry.

At this time, Chenfeng was still crying in the room, Wu Xuan comforted him, and said to Gu Mushen: "Master Gu, those gangsters have done a lot of evil, and their methods are cruel and indecent. If the prince is arrested, it must be... no, I Go back and tell my uncle to send troops to rescue the prince."

After finishing speaking, Wu Xuan got up to go out, but Han Li who was standing by the door grabbed the back of his neck, carried him back, and said, "Do you know where those Nanyang people are whereabouts? Just go and catch them? Don't alarm Mr. Wu beforehand." Bing, our Marquis has his own decision."

Seeing the sudden seriousness of the man's voice, Wu Xuan didn't dare to contradict him, so he stood in front of the door and nodded without speaking, but his eyes sneaked at the man from time to time.

When Gu Muchen saw Canyue frowned and forbearance, her lips turned black, she knew she had been poisoned, so she signaled Han Li to take her down to ask the doctor to treat her wounds. Chen Feng and Wu Xuan were both arranged to go to the same room, and asked them to go down and rest first. up.

After a while, Han Li walked in, and said to Gu Mushen, who was standing in front of the window with a dignified look: "That wizard jumped over the wall and captured the prince. He must have come here for that batch of goods, and he will probably send someone over to negotiate terms. So the prince should be fine for the time being."

Gu Muchen also thought of this, but he still couldn't help worrying that Xiaolin was in danger, after all, he knew how vicious the Nanyang wizard was.

But he promised that if they dared to move a finger of Xiaolin, he would definitely make them pay a more painful price.

Gu Muchen was also puzzled by another matter, so he said to Han Li: "The guards in the Hou's mansion are heavily guarded, and after they came out, they even sent extra manpower to guard them. If you have identified the weak point of the guard, it is very likely that one of the two forces has placed a secret operation in the mansion, so you send someone to inform Steward Chen to investigate."

Han Li nodded yes.

Gu Muchen tightly grasped the jade pendant in his hand, and put it in his sleeve with great care, and asked in a deep voice, "How did you arrange for that Southern Xinjiang Fragrant Master?"

Han Li said: "He was secretly detained in the prison of the General Barracks. We arrested this person. Presumably, the spices in the wizard's hands are useless. In the short term, he will no longer be able to trade with the people of the National Teacher."

Gu Muchen is now worried about Xiaolin, so he said: "Let the shadow guards lurking in the Jiangnan region first find the whereabouts of those Nanyang people who captured Xiaolin. It is possible that Xiaolin is in their secret stronghold. Come and tell me immediately.”

Han Li knew that Prince Xiaolin was in his heart, so he didn't say much, turned around and went out to make arrangements.

Xixiafang.

Xiao Lin leaned against the straw stack and slept for a long time. At night, someone opened the door and came in to bring him food. Hearing the sound of the door opening, he opened his eyes vigilantly.

There were still two people guarding the door. The person who came in to deliver the food was a boy about 16 years old. He walked in with his head down, and brought out all the food in the food box, and put them on a dilapidated handmade wooden table next to him. .

The boy came over to untie Xiao Lin after putting away the dishes. Xiao Lin looked at the fair-skinned child in front of him, and saw that he was only wearing a thin, coarse cloth with pudding everywhere, and there were deep bruises on his white wrists. , like finger prints, were grabbed out by force.

After someone loosened the restraints on his hands and feet, Xiao Lin stood up and stretched his muscles, then sat down in front of the table, while the young man stood beside him with his head bowed, as if he was waiting for him to finish eating and put away the bowl The chopsticks were tied up again for him.

Xiaolin looked at the food, although it was simple and light food, but it was better than nothing, thinking that he still had value, those people would not poison him, so he just ate some, he looked up at the child, and asked tentatively: "What do you eat?" Why do you get hurt, do they beat you often?"

The boy was staring blankly at first, but when he heard this, he raised his head to look at him, then carefully looked at the door, and gritted his teeth with some sobs, he said to Xiaolin, "Are you also arrested? They are not human, They are all devils, treating us like livestock, coming to torture us day and night..."

Xiaolin frowned when he heard the words, recalled that night, those Nanyang men said wild words, guessed something from these words, and said: "What kind of place is this, and they also arrested many people?"

The boy nodded and said in a low voice: "And they are all men. They have arrested many people for their entertainment. This place should be Xixiafang. I overheard it from some guards."

Xiaolin nodded, before asking again, when the two people who were chatting outside the door suddenly heard the movement, one of them walked in and shouted at them: "What are you talking about? You are not allowed to talk in private, pack it up after eating!"

Before Xiao Lin finished eating, the young man was so frightened that he hurriedly packed up the bowls and chopsticks, tied the ropes for Xiao Lin again, and hurried out.

The guard looked at the prince vigilantly, rubbed his chin with his hand, and there was also salivation in his eyes, then turned and left.

Xiaolin stopped and said, "Brother, please stop, I have something to ask."

The tall man turned his head and saw that he was not bad, so he lost his rude temper and said, "What's the matter?"

Xiao Lin glanced at the strong-smelling things in the corner and said, "My nose is quite sensitive, and I can't smell these southern Xinjiang spices, can you please clear them out?"

The thick eyebrows of the guard raised his eyebrows, and looked at him suspiciously: "You can still smell the spices from southern Xinjiang?"

Xiao Lin pretended to sniff his nose and said: "I have worshiped Nanjiang Xiangshi as my teacher, so I know a little bit. Your spices seem to be soaked in water, right? And there is also the smell of low-quality spices in it, which makes you feel sick. People smell bad."

The guard's eyes widened, and the suspicion just now disappeared. You must know that the smell of those southern Xinjiang spices is very strong. Ordinary people will only think it is a smell when they smell it. Only the incense master can distinguish the type.

Moreover, there was a mistake during the transportation of this batch of spices. The top-quality and low-quality boxes were the same, and they were all mixed together by accident. Later, the southern Xinjiang incense master was arrested, and these spices could not be separated, which caused their leaders a headache for a long time.

Seeing that Xiaolin could still distinguish, the guard immediately thought of an opportunity to claim credit, and said, "Then can you separate out these spices? If you can, it will be a great achievement, and we will reward you."

Xiaolin was waiting for this sentence, and said in a confident tone: "This kind of difficulty is relatively low, so it shouldn't be a problem."

"Wait." The guard suppressed his joy and went out, presumably to report the matter to the wizard Jinse.

In Wu'an County.

Gu Muchen, who received the secret letter from Steward Chen, looked a little unhappy, and he asked Canyue to come to meet him in the house.
