Don't be tempted, sir

Song Xiaoyuan's hands trembled when he saw the letter from the capital. In that instant, he had thought of all the worst-case scenarios. At the same time, the letter from Qiannan had also been sent six days ago.

The housekeeper hurriedly followed and asked, "Master, what happened? Why are you in such a hurry to go out?"

"Uncle Xu, I'm out for the next few days. If anyone comes to my house, please go to Ci'an Hall and inform the shopkeeper immediately."

"Oh, okay! Sir, please slow down and be careful on the road!"

Song Xiaoyuan rode his horse along the path to all the places where he might encounter bandits, but found nothing... He took up his sword and went up the mountain to find the bandits' lair!

"Boss! Someone has broken into the village!"

The bandit who was drinking to celebrate the third wife of the bandit's wife put down his wine bowl and splashed the wine everywhere: "What are you panicking about! How many people are there on the other side, and who are they from?"

"One person, just one person! Come and see the Third Madam."

Song Xiaoyuan was surrounded without fear. The bandit leader came out and saw his brothers lying on the ground injured. He raised his knife and shouted, "Hey, who is coming?"

"Wuming, only looking for one person!"

"Who? Who are you looking for? Who are you looking for to kill all these brothers of mine?"

Instantly, Song Xiaoyuan had rushed out of the crowd and pointed his sword at the bandit leader, his gentle face stained with blood, "Where is the woman you kidnapped on the road yesterday?"

"Who are you?" The leader raised his knife and sword to fight against each other, but after two moves, the leader's hand was knocked away and the knife fell out of his hand.

"Where is that woman?"

The leader covered his hand in pain: "Back, back garden..."

The man in white with blood on his face went to the back garden with a sword in hand and easily dealt with the guard in front of the gate. Chiyue picked up the door knocker tied with a cloth and went in. There was a woman in red sitting on the couch. It was not her!

Song Xiaoyuan turned and left. The woman screamed in muffled voice with cloth stuffed in her mouth. He retracted his foot that had just stepped out of the door and untied the rope on the woman's hand.

The woman took out the cloth from her mouth and went out crying. Seeing the young man in white was about to leave, she hurried over, knelt on the ground, pulled the hem of her brocade robe and kowtowed: "Young man, please save my brother!"

He lowered his eyes to look at the woman at his feet. Who could save his Yi Ning? He raised his foot to leave, but the woman grabbed his clothes tightly and continued to speak: "Young man, please! My brother and I were kidnapped on the mountain. I don't know how my brother is doing now..."

The woman pulled him and cried while talking. She raised her hand and cut off his robe with the red moon: "Wait, someone will save your brother."

The county magistrate personally led his troops to the scene. When he met Song Xiaoyuan who was leaving, he respectfully stepped aside to make way for him, and left in a hurry without even looking at Tan Mou.

"Oh, this young master of the Song family is coming back to rectify public security..."

The county magistrate waved his sleeves and said, "Since someone has reported it to the authorities, we must act! Arrest them! Arrest them all!"

Late at night, two men in black broke into a farmer's house in the village. The thug at the door knelt down and begged for mercy. A man in white clothes stained with blood came in and opened the door of the side room. A group of boys and girls aged twelve or thirteen years old huddled in the corner of a haystack.

An elderly woman and a man who had just come out of another room were also kneeled on the ground before they could make a move, being controlled by the shadow. "Hey, what gang are you guys in?"

Kneeling on the ground, he saw a white blood-stained brocade robe approaching. Chiyue was holding the man's neck and said in a cold voice that did not allow for argument: "Are all the women kidnapped on the road these days here?"

"Yes Yes..."

"Ok?"

"Ah~ No no..."

The old woman at the side trembled and said, "And...a few older ones were sold to Wanqing Tower."

As soon as Song Xiaoyuan left, the government officials came back with torches.

Wanqing Tower was crowded with guests, inside, men and women in colorful clothes were hugging each other and showing affection, but when one person entered the room, he was different.

A woman greeted the guest at the door. Even the bloodstained face could not hide her handsome face. She approached him with a seductive look: "Hero, is this for entertainment after the event? I will make sure that Hero will be satisfied!"

The scabbard moved a little further away and approached the woman. He glanced inside with cold eyes and said, "I want the woman who just came yesterday!"

The madam inside greeted him with a smile: "Oh, I didn't expect that the guest is such a particular person. Please come to the elegant room!"

Song Xiaoyuan sat down in the elegant room. The madam pushed and shoved three women with red eyes and embarrassed tears over. She pounded the table with her hands in her sleeves and stood up: "Have you ever seen a petite and thin woman with a cold face and a red mole behind her ear!"

The madam waved her handkerchief and stepped forward: "Oh, we have girls like this here too. If you like the red mole, you can choose it yourself!"

The man in white left with a sword in hand, and the officers and soldiers came to investigate the black market trading of children of good families.

The shadow guard searched all the inns, black market human traffickers, and villages along the way in Qiannan, but could not find anything. Ling and Yu wiped out all traces along the way, and the inn information did not match at all.

"Young Master, there is no news from the Madam."

The blood on the white clothes had long dried up, riding alone on the dark street, regretting that it was all my fault, why didn't I keep her! Why didn't I personally send her back to Beijing! She pushed me away and asked me not to get close, why was I so obedient! I couldn't find Yining, I lost Yining myself...

I looked for everything except one thing: the clinic! Ling and Yu drove the carriage into the city early. Still worried about the young lady, they went to the famous clinic in Lu'an for treatment.

After five days of continuous pain, the flesh that Shen Yining had just built up returned to its former size, and his wrists became so haggard that they seemed boneless.

"Well... I'm afraid it will hurt a few more times, but it won't be as severe as this time. The cold evil has been condensed for a long time, so it will hurt a lot when it first comes, and the girl is too weak and lacks qi and blood."

The doctor wrote a prescription and Ziyu went to get the medicine. Shen Yining stopped and smiled, "Thank you, doctor."

The carriage with the medicine slowly came to the lotus garden on the outskirts of the city. Shen Yining took a few deep breaths in the carriage before getting off. She was afraid that her paranoia would lead to the worst result...

The first thing the butler saw when he came over was the jade pendant hanging in Shen Yining's dressing room. He hurriedly bowed and greeted her, "How are you, Madam? I am Xuyang, the old servant of Heyuan. Please come in, Madam!"

Shen Yining smiled softly and replied, "Manager Xu, thank you for your help."

"Young Madam, you're too polite!" Xuyang ordered the servant at the door to go to Ci'an Hall to find the manager as the young master had ordered.

Shen Yining followed the guide and walked through the lotus ponds. The more he walked, the more worried he became. Did he really not care about her? She asked Xuyang nervously, "Butler Xu, why don't you see Xiao Yuan?"

The housekeeper smiled and replied, "Madam, the young master went out in a hurry the day before yesterday and has not returned yet. However, the young master should be back soon. Madam, you should rest first after traveling a long way."

"He's not here?" Shen Yining was surprised, but he was not as nervous as before. It turned out that he was not in the Lotus Garden.

I followed the guidance to his bedroom. His scent was very faint but I could still smell it. I couldn't help but smile with relief.

Ci'an Hall quickly informed Shadow Guard of the news, and according to legend, he finally met Song Xiaoyuan on his way to Qiannan. However, he had been in a daze for two days, with stubble on his face, and he was wearing blood-stained clothes. He had not closed his eyes and kept looking for Yining.

The shadow guard clasped his fists and excitedly reported, "Young Master, the young mistress has returned to the Lotus Garden safely!"

Tan's eyes were so bright with excitement that he almost fell off his horse. The shadow guard hurriedly helped him up: "Young Master, the young mistress is waiting for you safely in the Lotus Garden!"
