The besties traveled through the book together, and the prince and general became abandoned husbands

Jiang Wumei and Xu Junjun were in the carriage and could hear everything that happened outside clearly.

The two were startled and opened their eyes briefly to look at each other. When they heard footsteps approaching the carriage, they immediately closed their eyes and continued to pretend to be unconscious.

The Centipede Man knew the identity of the person he was going to capture. He looked at the two unconscious people in the carriage and said to his men:

"Take back the banknotes and tie up these two men."

The agreed place to hand over the person is at the border between Tianqi and Dasheng. Their situation will definitely not be easy in the next few days.

Once I get the portrait tomorrow, I'll get rid of the other woman.

"Yes, my lord."

The subordinates behind the centipede man responded and found 30,000 taels of silver from the dead body.

There was no blood on the banknote, it was as clean as new.

The other two subordinates found ropes and stepped onto the carriage, roughly tying up Xu Junjun and Jiang Wumei.

The rope was tightly wrapped around the wrists, forming an impossible knot. After the people left, the two best friends noticed that the carriage under them was slowly moving away.

"Just go ahead."

The centipede man jumped on his horse and gave an order. His men responded and immediately mounted their horses and left with the carriage.

A strong wind suddenly arose, sweeping through the mountains and forests, causing the treetops to shake and rustle.

The wheels rolled, leaving ruts behind. On the flat ground covered with lush vegetation, only three bodies were left exposed to the sun.

Four hours later, Wei Dong, covered in blood, and Chen Yu led their men to track down the suspect. Looking at the three corpses left here, their faces looked very grim.

Not finding any other traces around, Wei Dong chopped down a large tree beside him with a knife and said in hatred:

"If I catch these bastards, I'll chop them into pieces and feed them to wild dogs!"

Chen Yu had people search around to see if there were any other clues. He turned back to look at Wei Dong furiously and said in a deep voice:

"Do you have any tokens like jade tokens on you?

It would be best to mobilize town officials to lock down the city and conduct inspections."

Wei Dong said hatefully:

"We, the personal guards, are loyal only to our master. We do not normally engage in official activities and do not carry any tokens."

Chen Yu frowned:

"In an emergency, we must act swiftly. Being in Tianqi, is there no way for you, the personal guards, to ask the government to help find the person?"

The two masters who were held hostage were both of noble status, and Chen Yu didn't believe that Weidong had no way out.

Wei Dong's face was as gloomy as water. After a moment's thought, he quickly said:

“Although I don’t have a token, it’s not impossible for me to reveal my identity and ask the government to help lock down the city.

I have sent a letter to my master by carrier pigeon. As soon as he receives the letter, he will definitely take action.

Let's chase them now and see if we can catch up with those bastards."

Chen Yu quickly looked at Wei Dong and nodded:

"That's all."

This is Apocalypse, and their people are restricted in their movements. After killing all the men in black last night, they also lost twenty to thirty men.

He has sent a message to the Emperor and asked Tianqi's secret agents to fully assist in the search. Now he only hopes to find the Imperial Concubine before the Emperor arrives. Otherwise, all the Qilin Guards who followed him will be severely punished for dereliction of duty.

Xu Junjun and Jiang Wumei spent the entire day in the carriage. They were tied up and their blood circulation was blocked, so they felt numb and painful all over and were in great pain.

After nightfall, they continued their journey for a long time. Xu Junjun and Jiang Wumei were carried on horseback for a while and changed carriages two or three times before they finally settled down in a dilapidated and remote village.

As soon as the carriage stopped, the centipede man came over and lifted the curtain. Seeing the two people in the carriage with their eyes closed, he mocked them directly:

"Since you two are awake, please get out of the car.

I'll send someone over to untie you two."

Xu Junjun was impatient. When she heard the arrogant tone of the people who kidnapped her sisters, she opened her eyes and started to retort:

“Who are you!

Who sent you here? "

Jiang Wumei slowly opened her eyes, a cold light flashing in her eyes, and spoke in a steady voice:

"We two sisters don't know which great god we offended to bring upon ourselves such a disaster.

You still have a long way to go. If you don't give us sisters an explanation tonight, we will bite our tongues and not let you succeed."

The Centipede Man could still ignore Xu Junjun's words, but he didn't dare to ignore Jiang Wumei's words easily.

The centipede man narrowed his eyes and stared at Jiang Wumei with murderous intent, trying to scare her, but he didn't expect that Jiang Wumei was not inferior in momentum at all. Even though she was imprisoned, she was calm and composed, without any sign of fear or anxiety.

The centipede man was surprised, and his eyes moved back and forth between her and Xu Junjun, as if trying to determine which of the two was the target he was ordered to escort.

"Untie the two distinguished guests and escort them to the house to be served."

In the end, the Centipede Man chose not to answer and decided to observe for one night and make plans after the portrait arrived tomorrow.

The place where they were staying today was far away from the town and information was blocked. The centipede man only spent ten taels of silver to get the villagers here to happily give up their houses for them to live in.

Before leaving, the villagers enthusiastically prepared dinner for everyone and told them that they could use the rice, flour and water in the kitchen as they pleased. Then they took their silver and went to other houses in the village to squeeze in.

All the ropes on Jiang Wumei and Xu Junjun fell off, and the centipede man's men made a gesture of invitation, forcing the two to go into the house.

There was an oil lamp burning in the room, but the dim light only illuminated a limited area, leaving most corners in darkness, giving people a feeling of depression and unease.

Xu Junjun sat down next to Jiang Wumei. The two best friends exchanged glances and looked at the centipede man who was staring at them hungrily.

The centipede man had been observing the two people since they stepped into the house. He looked at their bodies and faces, but didn't see any trace of fear, and his face darkened.

Xu Junjun's heart tightened, but his face remained calm. After exchanging glances with Jiang Wumei, he looked across at her and spoke leisurely:

"It seems that you don't intend to kill us.

In this case, please let us eat first. You can’t let our sisters starve to death.”

After being tied up for a whole day, Xu Junjun was so hungry that her chest was sticking to her back. No matter what she and Niao Niao wanted to do next, they needed to gather enough energy.

Jiang Wumei didn't say anything. The centipede man smiled. The scar on his face looked even more creepy under the oil lamp.

"No hurry, it's still early, and we just untied our distinguished guest. You two should sit down and rest for a while before discussing other matters."

The centipede man looked like a smiling tiger on the surface, but his eyes seemed to be filled with poison. It seemed that he was planning to wait and see how they would react.

Jiang Wumei curled her lips and lowered her eyes without saying a word. She rubbed the glaring redness and swelling on her wrist with her fingertips, her mind spinning rapidly.

Seeing that the pig-headed man opposite did not respond, Xu Junjun's face became serious, and he shut his mouth and stopped talking.

The two parties sat facing each other in silence. The irritation on the centipede man's face became more and more obvious, while Jiang Wumei's expression became more and more relaxed.

Xu Junjun glanced at Jiang Wumei out of the corner of her eye, and seeing her leaning back in the chair with an indifferent expression, she also sat up straight and acted as if she didn't care.

As time went on, the centipede man was the first to speak and break the suffocating silence.

"I think you two have rested enough. I'll have food brought over right away.

After dinner, please rest early, my two distinguished guests, and please don't be polite to me."

The centipede man left with a sinister smile, leaving only Jiang Wumei and Xu Junjun in the room.

The hot and simple meal was brought into the house. Xu Junjun sniffed it carefully and found nothing wrong, so he nodded to Jiang Wumei.

After being hungry for a whole day, Jiang Wumei and Xu Junjun ate most of the food that was delivered to them.

As soon as the two of them put down their chopsticks, someone came over and asked them to get on the carriage.

Jiang Wumei and Xu Junjun both frowned, but looking at the shining big knife on the man's body, they didn't say much and walked straight out of the house.

The ropes tied their hands and feet again. When the centipede man saw the two men, he said with a forced smile that they were offended, and then had them taken to the carriage to continue their journey.
