Chapter 355: Missing (Overhaul)
Chapter 355 Missing (Overhaul)
Si Zhong stood up slowly, and not surprisingly, he saw a black figure flashing past in the nearby woods.
He was actually a little puzzled in his heart, the queen mother's party was wiped out by the emperor, who would want his life?
Thinking so, Si Zhong was about to remind those officials, but before he could say anything, several arrows flew out of the woods.
Si Zhong rolled around on the ground and managed to escape, but the unsuspecting officials were not so lucky, and fell to the ground one by one.
Si Chong quickly took the key from the officer's waist, and was about to run away.
But the other party has a large number of people, and his hands are shackled, how can it be so easy to escape.
Before he could take two steps, Si Zhong was caught by the man in black. He saw that the man in black gave him a heavy hammer on the back of his head, and Si Zhong lost consciousness in an instant.
…
Si Zhong was hijacked in broad daylight, and the news quickly spread to the capital. After hearing this, Si Yan frowned, mainly because at this time, he couldn't think of anyone who would do such a thing.
Si Zhong has no power now, so naturally he has no use value. What's the use of hijacking him? Could it be that he is here for him?
Seeing his brows furrowed, Shen Li thought he was still worried about Yuan Mingshao, so she leaned over and said.
"Husband, I have an idea about the cause of Yuan Mingshao's death."
After Si Yan's gaze turned to Shen Li, he immediately became gentle.
"Oh? Tell me."
Shen Li cleared her throat and said hesitantly.
"I don't know if my guess is right, didn't he always say that he has no wounds or poison on his body, I was wondering... Could it be a Gu worm.
That thing doesn't kill people with poison, and it doesn't cause obvious wounds. "
Si Yan nodded thoughtfully after hearing this.
Seeing that Si Yan agreed with her statement, Shen Li continued.
"If it's really a Gu worm, maybe the mother Gu is still alive..."
Si Yan's eyes lit up when he heard it.
"I'll send someone to check it out."
After speaking, Si Yan got up, he still had one important thing to do.
Si Zhong's whereabouts are unknown now. Although he is not close to Si Zhong, when he exchanged terms with Si Zhong, he said that he would save his life, so he had to go and see.
Si Yan explained to Shen Li while putting on his outer shirt.
"Si Zhong was attacked when he went to Beijing, and his whereabouts are unknown. I have to go and see."
When Shen Li heard that it was Si Zhong's matter, she was surprised at first, and then said immediately.
"Are we leaving now?"
Si Yan nodded, patted Shen Li's head and said.
"Well, you go to bed earlier, don't wait for me.
Shen Li was a little worried, but she also believed in Si Yan's ability, she said reluctantly.
"Then you must pay attention to safety."
…
Si Yan led his men to the place where Si Zhong disappeared overnight. The officials in charge of escorting him were all dead, and there were still bloodstains on the ground that hadn't dried up.
He looked at the woods not far away, and after going in to check, he saw many broken branches. He thought that those people had known that Si Zhong would go here, so they ambush here.
Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Si Yan continued to walk forward. After passing through this small forest, he found many horseshoe prints.
Si Yan remounted his horse and followed the horse's hoof prints until he reached the foot of a barren mountain.
There was a little fire on the mountainside, and there seemed to be someone.
I don’t know if it’s Si Yan’s illusion, but he always feels that someone is waiting for him here, and those horseshoe marks are too obvious, it seems that they intend to lure him here.
Thinking of this, Si Yan couldn't help shouting.
"Since you want to see me, why don't you show up?"
