The sacred tree is about to pass, and the cannon fodder's wish countdown is coming

The monkey system raised its hand to rub its sleepy eyes and asked to the landing in confusion: "Host, you saved someone and you're not going to care about it anymore?"

It is February now and the weather has just warmed up slightly, but the cold winter has not yet dissipated. If such a weak woman lies in the mountains for a whole night, she will either be disabled or get seriously ill.

"We've already saved them, why don't we save them to the end?" The monkey system whispered.

"Who said I was going to save her? It was just that group of people happened to disturb me." Lu Shi retorted coldly.

"Since you have love, then go and solve it."

After saying that, Lu Shi closed his eyes again.

The monkey system was speechless when it saw the blanket thrown to it when it landed.

What on earth is this person pretending to be?

The monkey system held the blanket and groped Lu Shi's body without any hesitation. Finally, he got out of the carriage with satisfaction holding the medicine bottle.

After it left, Lu Shi opened his eyes, a flicker of confusion in his calm, calm eyes. He thought he was being too harsh on the monkey system, pushing all the dirty work onto it and often threatening it with humane destruction.

But apart from being afraid of it at the beginning, this stupid system has become more and more outrageous recently. It dared to challenge it a few days ago, and today it even dared to touch it.

What gave him the courage? Was it that it had added a new chip to it?

Lu Shi couldn't figure it out, so he simply let it go. That system wouldn't cause any trouble anyway. If that day ever came, he would just destroy it.

At this moment, the monkey system that was covering Xiao Muyu with a blanket outside suddenly felt a chill on its back.

The dark forest seemed to be hiding some ferocious beast that could attack it from behind at any time.

The more he thought about it, the more scared he became. The monkey system quickly slipped into the carriage, got into Lu Shi's arms, and pulled up Lu Shi's clothes to cover himself.

Lu Shi:......

……

The general's mansion was already in chaos at this time. General Xiao was extremely anxious when he heard that his precious daughter had been kidnapped. He had only this one child, and he spoiled her like a treasure since she was a child, not letting her suffer any grievances.

If anything happens to his precious daughter after this misfortune, he will tear these people into pieces!

"Master, what should we do?"

"Madam, don't worry. I have already sent someone to look for her, and I will go to the palace to ask my sister for help as soon as it gets light."

"Those kidnappers must be after money, they won't harm lives. Our Mu'er will definitely be fine."

"I'm so scared, so scared..." Mrs. Xiao felt a pain in her heart as if it were being stabbed by needles when she thought of that possibility.

General Xiao took the crying lady into his arms and comforted her silently. They both knew that the woman's reputation would be ruined in the future after this experience.

"I have blocked the news. As long as Mu'er is found within two days, there will be no big problem. If His Highness helps, our Mu'er will still be the same Mu'er as before and will not be discovered."

Madam Xiao nodded with difficulty, but she was still overwhelmed by the overwhelming worry.

"Come, send the lady to rest."

As the maid took Madam Xiao from General Xiao's hands and helped her into the room, the last trace of gentleness on General Xiao's face vanished completely. His body emanated a strong murderous aura, the bloody smell that only came from someone who had truly walked through a sea of ​​corpses and crawled out of a pile of the dead. He was like a demon from the depths of hell, and every step he took carried an endless pressure that made it difficult to breathe.

"Any news?"

"General, I just heard that the young lady was kidnapped by a group of bandits. They must be after money. The young lady is likely to be fine, but they are now in Changqing Mountain, more than ten miles outside the city. The young lady must have suffered a lot."

The person who reported the news was afraid of the evil spirit from General Yu Xiao, so his voice was a little unsteady.

"You must take your men and horses to Changqing Mountain immediately. No, this general will go with you!"

It would be better if those robbers were only after money, otherwise he would let them know what it means to live a life worse than death!

……

It was just dawn when General Xiao led his guards to Changqing Mountain. There was no movement on the mountain in the early morning. Everyone only saw a carriage parked at the foot of the mountain.

"General, there are wheel marks and some messy footprints at the scene. Judging from the direction, they extend towards the mountain. These should be left by the kidnappers." A guard stepped forward to report.

General Xiao's face was solemn. He waved his hand and said, "Chase!"

Everyone followed the tracks all the way to the middle of the mountain, where their view suddenly opened up.

A pile of corpses were lying on the ground in all directions. Not far away, there was another corpse whose death was the most miserable. The ground where he fell was soaked with blood. But the most eye-catching thing were the corpses that had turned black, so black that their faces could not be seen clearly.

General Xiao felt a chill down his spine watching this scene. He frantically searched for his daughter. He couldn't imagine what would happen if his daughter was one of them...

Fortunately, a quick glance at this group of corpses will reveal that they are all male corpses.

A sharp-eyed guard spotted a girl sleeping under a tree, covered with a blanket.

"General, the young lady has been found!"

General Xiao looked delighted.

"Mu'er!" General Xiao quickly stepped forward and picked up the girl. After checking, the girl only suffered some minor injuries and fainted.

"General, there are some footprints and signs of fighting here. I guess someone saved the young lady." said another soldier.

General Xiao looked around, secretly grateful to his benefactor. He decided that when his daughter woke up, he would repay the benefactor for saving his life.

"Let's go back home first." General Xiao carried his daughter into the carriage, and the group slowly went down the mountain.

……

"Host, why are you so anxious to set off before dawn?"

"Let's leave early and get to town just in time for breakfast."

"There's a lot of food in your space. Are you done eating it now?"

“You need a change of pace every now and then.”

“…I want to eat wontons.”

"arrange."

Early in the morning, there were many people entering and leaving the city gate. When Lu Shi arrived, there was a long queue in front.

The strangers in the team were not shy at all, and people in front, behind, and around them gathered together to gossip.

Passerby A: "Don't you think today's unusual? Never before have so many people gathered at the city gate."

Passerby B: "I know. Wasn't it the Lantern Festival last night? It's normal to have a lot of people."

Passerby A: "What do you know! There was nothing like this at the Lantern Festival in previous years."

Passerby A: "There must be something happening that we don't know about."

Passerby C: "I think I know something. There was an emergency last night, and someone ordered a city lockdown. It seems they're looking for someone whose golden nugget is missing."

Passerby B: "A person can lose something that big!"

Passerby A: "Did you find it later?"

Passerby C: "How would I know? I'm not a god."

Passerby A and B: "Tsk!"

A few people were about to end the topic without knowing what was going on, when someone suddenly interrupted, "Hey, you don't know, but I know it very well."

Passerby A, B, C: "You know what I mean, just say it!"

Lu Shi and the monkey system pricked up their ears.

"Hehe," the man grinned, his eyes gleaming with a simple and honest look. "My uncle is currently working at General Xiao's residence. Last night, his eldest daughter was kidnapped, and her life or death is unknown."

The man spoke loudly and added exaggerated gestures, which attracted everyone around him.

"He was kidnapped. This is terrible. It's been a whole night and he still hasn't been found."

"Poor General Xiao, he only has this one child in all these years, alas."

"..."

Everyone was talking about it.
