70: The Soldier King's Supernatural Wife, Three Babies in One Child

"I'm not."

Lu Chaoyan looked at Pei Qinyao, "However, your mother asked me to tell you something. I'll tell you later."

"it is good."

Pei Qinyao's depressed mood suddenly improved.

After finishing the chat, Lu Chaoyan went to the middle of the threshing ground, where the elderly, the weak, the sick, women and children were still being surrounded and interrogated.

"Asagao!"

A surprised voice sounded from behind. Lu Chaoyan turned around and saw Si Zhengyan running towards her.

"Why are you here? Who brought you here?"

Lu Chaoyan walked towards him with a smile, took his hand, and walked out of the crowd.

"I came here by myself. Don't worry. I'm fine. Have you found my father?"

"No."

Frustration and a bit of self-blame appeared on Si Zhengyan's handsome face. He regretted being too confident.

"I am sure that he and Luo Yu and Pei Huaijin came here. The receiving signal of the monitoring device was also cut off here, but we still can't find them."

"Can you ensure that they didn't leave through the secret passage?"

"No, I have observed the terrain behind the village and there is no exit or tunnel."

Si Zhengyan spoke firmly, pulling Lu Chaoyan and walking towards the back of the village.

When they reached a deserted place, they stopped and asked, "How did you find this place?"

Lu Chaoyan took out the letter and photo from her bag. "Someone wanted me to come here. I don't know why. Before I left, I made arrangements for the child. He won't be in any danger."

Looking at the letter and the photo, Si Zhengyan frowned, thought for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid it's a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain, but you are no threat to anyone in the imperial capital, what do they want to do by tricking you here?"

"Never mind. We can deal with it later. Let's go back and talk about it later."

Lu Chaoyan took Si Zhengyan's hand and quietly gave him supernatural powers. "You go and do your work. I'll find it."

"No, I'll stay with you."

Si Zhengyan's fatigue and sleepiness were swept away by the effect of his supernatural powers.

He also held her hand tightly, feeling a sense of happiness.

Many times, he envied himself lying in bed. Although he was in a mess, he could hear her voice every day.

The two searched the mountain behind the village again, but still found nothing.

Lu Chaoyan stood on a high place, overlooking the entire village. Last night, she used her supernatural powers to explore the entire village, but found no trace of No. 9 Luo Yu Pei Huaijin.

Moreover, Si Zhengyan and his team are quite capable, so it is impossible for them not to be able to find someone.

So where can people hide without being discovered?

The two men returned to the village and searched every house again. They found that there were no cellars or basements where people could hide.

They came to the threshing ground again, and the soldiers who investigated the elderly, the weak, women and children showed the results to Si Zhengyan.

"Deputy Division Commander, we have questioned everyone and found nothing wrong. They were coerced by those people."

Si Zhengyan looked at the result with a cold look in his eyes, "A group of ordinary people gave such logical confessions. We need to re-investigate!"

"Yes!"

The soldier ran back to the table, took out a notebook and pen, and continued asking questions.

Hearing this, the old village chief looked at Si Zhengyan and said, "Chief, we are also victims. Even if you want to investigate, can you let us go home and have a drink of water first? Even if we are guilty, you still have to take care of the children and pregnant women, right?"

"Commander, we can't take it anymore. My stomach is really hurting. Please let us go inside."

"Comrades, please, my child is sick, he can't keep freezing like this."

Pei Qinyao and the other three girls who were resting nearby also stood up to persuade them.

"Chief Si, they are so pitiful, let them come in and rest."

Si Zhengyan ignored them. He narrowed his eyes slightly and examined the elderly, the weak, women and children one by one.

He suspected that Xin Mei was hiding among these people.

Especially the hunchbacked old woman, she is very unusual.

Lu Chaoyan also surrounded the elderly, the weak, women and children, and observed them slowly.

Li Qingheng, who was following behind him, asked, "Did you find anything?"

Like Lu Chaoyan, he always felt a sense of disharmony around this group of elderly, weak, women and children.

Among them, there were more than 30 old women over 50 years old and more than 40 old men. They had gray hair and wrinkled faces. They hugged their children in their arms, with helplessness and fear in their eyes.

There were more than three hundred women between the ages of twenty and fifty, and more than two hundred of them were pregnant with varying sizes.

There were children ranging from newborns to thirteen years old, but there were no teenage boys or girls.

According to their account, there are more than a hundred young and strong men in the village.

There are more than 200 pregnant women, which looks weird no matter how you look at it.

Lu Chaoyan didn't say anything. She used her special powers to examine their bodies one by one.

When she walked into the crowd, a hunchbacked old woman suddenly straightened up, holding a knife in her hand and pressing it against Lu Chaoyan's neck.

She was the old woman that Si Zhengyan found familiar. Now, her eyes had changed from the cloudy look just now, and she looked at Si Zhengyan coldly.

"Si Zhengyan, take everyone away and I will let her go!"

The other old, weak, women and children who were crowded around her screamed in fear and fled in all directions.

Some people accidentally fell down and were stepped on by others, crying loudly.

The scene suddenly became chaotic, and Li Qingzhou and his men, who had arranged for people to leave at the foot of the mountain, hurried up.

Li Qingheng, who was not far from Lu Chaoyan, was carried away by the crowd. At this moment, looking at the kidnapped Lu Chaoyan, he clenched his fists in self-blame.

"Who are you? Don't hurt her. I'll be your hostage."

The old woman stood behind Lu Chaoyan and grabbed her throat.

"You are a bunch of idiots. I am Xin Mei, the one you are looking for. If you don't want her to die, get out of here!"

Si Zhengyan was not afraid at all. He pulled out his gun and pointed it at the old woman.

"Xin Mei, because of your betrayal, the country and the people have suffered heavy losses. It is impossible for me to let you go!"

The people who were captured here didn't know anything about the imperial capital and didn't understand what Si Zhengyan meant.

Wondering what Xin Mei did.

Li Qingzhou glared at Xin Mei with a fierce look in his eyes.

"You are Xin Mei? You have brought chaos to my Li family. If you don't let her go, I will shoot you!"

"Haha, go ahead and drive. I'll die with her!"

The old woman who called herself Xin Mei took off her disguise and showed off her upright and slender figure.

She stabbed the knife in her hand into Lu Chaoyan's neck a few points. Bright blood flowed out, which was particularly eye-catching on the fair neck.

"Brother, Zhengyan, don't be impulsive!"

Li Qingheng stood in front of his elder brother and Si Zhengyan anxiously, "Put away your guns first."

Then he said to Xin Mei, "If you let her go, I will be your hostage."

"We have captured you for such a long time, and they have not agreed to let us go. There is no point in capturing you."

Xin Mei finished her rude sarcasm and continued to laugh, "The Li family is a bunch of rubbish, just like your grandfather, who has been fooled by me all his life!"

Li Qingheng, who knew nothing about the imperial capital, could not bear to hear someone slandering his grandfather like this. His handsome face suddenly became stern.

Looking at Lu Chaoyan who was being held hostage, he had to hold back his anger and said, "Don't hurt her, we can discuss it."
