MTL - Jade Without Fragrance-Chapter 259 into the mountains

   Chapter 259 Entering the Mountain

  The scoundrel could hide in the carriage ahead of time, which shows that he has already understood the identity of Ah Hao, so he should know that the ransom of 10,000 taels is not a problem for the general's mansion.

   What is the purpose of the other party giving the three-day deadline?

  The delay of time is a double-edged sword. Although it can give the opponent time to arrange a retreat, it also gives the General’s residence preparations to save people.

   If he was a scoundrel, he would rather demand a ransom immediately and catch the general's house by surprise, unless the delay of time would be of greater benefit to them.

what is that?

   Qi Shuo couldn't think of it for a while, but one thing was certain: it was right not to let the enemy do what he wanted.

   He didn't talk about rational analysis, he only talked about selfishness, and he couldn't bear to wait until three days later.

   He couldn't leave Ah Hao's safety to the villains' decision, and it was imperative to go deep into the mountains to find Ah Hao.

   "Of course I can't go looking for people in a mighty way. I only bring two or three highly skilled guards into the mountains to search quietly. As long as I'm careful enough, I won't disturb the gangsters." Qi Shuo calmly said.

His calmness persuaded the old lady: "I really can't let the gangster lead by the nose, three days is too long, it's too easy for accidents to happen. According to the prince's intention, we arranged for three or four people to quietly go into the mountains to find people. Be prepared. But Shizi, don’t go into the mountains, there are too many dangers in the deep mountains.”

   "Don't worry, old lady. If you go into the mountain, it will only cause trouble, and I won't say anything. The general's mansion is prepared according to the requirements of the gangster. I will sneak into the mountain here to find people. Only by preparing with both hands can we ensure the safety of Ah Hao to the greatest extent."

   "This—" The old lady hesitated for a while, she didn't have much time to worry about the safety of her granddaughter, "Then the prince, the prince and the princess, please ask for instructions."

   Before leaving, Qi Shuo called Baozhu, whose eyes were swollen, and said, "Tell me carefully about what happened after Ah Hao went out, and don't miss anything."

  Baozhu's emotions were on the verge of collapse, but his mind was clear, and he went out from Lin Hao to speak.

   "That is to say, Ah Hao accompanied the father and son of the Wen family to see the doctor at the medical center, and then sent Master Wen home before leaving?"

  Baozhu nodded. Seeing Qi Shuo was about to leave, he called to him anxiously: "Prince, maid, can you go into the mountains with you to find the girl?"

   Facing the pleading eyes of the little maid, Qi Shuo decisively refused: "I have seen you before."

  Baozhu's eyes dimmed, and tears poured out uncontrollably: "Sir, you must save the girl."

  Qi Shuo didn't look back and didn't respond to Baozhu's words, and strode out of the General's Mansion.

   "What, Ah Hao was kidnapped by gangsters, you want to go into the mountains to find him?" After hearing Qi Shuo's words, Princess Jing was shocked.

"Um."

"No, I don't agree!" Princess Jing's first reaction was to refuse, "It's not that the mother-in-law is unreasonable, it's true that you care about Ah, but you are already in poor health, so what should you do if you put yourself in after entering the mountain? The palace? With a lot of good skills at the General’s Mansion, picking a few outstanding ones to find someone is not much better than going in rashly…”

   Qi Shuo listened silently, and said calmly: "Could it be that the mother and concubine forgot that her son's health was 'bad' after he entered Beijing."

   Princess Jing was stunned.

   It was so long that she forgot that her son was pretending to be frail.

   This did not make Princess Jing change her mind: "But you suffered from a heart disease, and you were only seen by a famous doctor last year."

   "My son asked Doctor Zhu for a follow-up visit later, and his heart disease has been cured."

   "When did this happen?" Princess Jing was delighted at first, then suspicious.

Qi Shuo lowered his eyes, and his plain tone was inexplicably convincing: "Just before our family went to the General's Mansion to propose a kiss. My son thought that if my heart disease was getting worse, wouldn't it be a delay for others, so I asked Dr. Zhu to take a look. ."

   "Really?" Princess Jing stared at her son.

   Qi Shuo nodded slightly.

   Princess Jing put her hands together, her face full of joy: "God bless!"

   "Mother concubine, let me go." Qi Shuo twitched his eyelashes slightly, and the pain in his eyes finally could not be concealed.

  His Ah Hao is still alive and dead.

   Princess Jing looked in her eyes, as if a small drumstick tapped lightly on the tip of her heart.

   Being a mother, how could she be willing to watch her child suffer.

   But that sway was quickly stopped by reason: "Even if you are in good health, you can't take this risk. Shuo'er, have you considered your mother-in-law and your father?"

   Qi Shuo's eyes shifted, looking from Princess Jing to King Jing.

   Princess Jing quietly pinched Prince Jing who had been silent for a while.

  My son is going to look for someone regardless of the danger, why is she the only one who is the mother-in-law to be the villain in front of him?

   King Jing coughed: "Yes, Shuo'er, how did you think about it?"

   "My father should know that my son is not an impulsive person. I will do my best to bring Ah Hao back safely. But if I don't go this time, if something happens to Ah Hao, I will regret it for the rest of my life."

   He knelt down on one knee and said earnestly: "I beg you two to be considerate, don't let your son spend the rest of his life in remorse. If that's the case, what's the point of living to be a hundred years old?"

  Princess Jing was silent, and her face changed constantly with the handkerchief in her hands.

   After a while, a sigh sounded: "Forget it, you go."

   "Your Highness!"

   "Thank you, Father, Wang, and Mother and Concubine." Qi Shuo gave his parents a bright smile as he got up and strode away.

  Princess Jing gave King Jing a hard squeeze and said angrily, "Why did you agree, what if something happened to Shuo'er?"

   That is the son she gave birth to in October, and for her, his safety and health is the most important thing.

"You didn't see Shuo'er walking so fast, are you afraid we'll go back on it?" Prince Jing looked at the swaying curtain, and his eyes were no less worried than Princess Jing, "Shuo'er is an adult, it's impossible to listen to everything like a child. Ours, he has his mind."

   "But I'm worried he's in danger—"

   King Jing took Princess Jing's hand and held it tightly: "You have to trust Shuo'er. He is a responsible child, not only for Miss Lin, but also for us."

  Xu is the rough big hand holding her was too warm, Princess Jing struggled for a while but did not shake it off, and nodded silently.

   Qi Shuo instructed Xuan Yi as he walked out: "Master Wen, father and son, and the hospital, you arrange for everyone to watch."

   Xuan Yi led the way.

   When Qi Shuo led the three guards into the mountain quietly, Lin Hao, who closed his eyes and gathered up his strength, suddenly heard a movement at the entrance of the cave.

   She immediately opened her eyes and looked over.

   The light at the entrance of the cave suddenly lit up, then went dark again, and a person stumbled in and fell in.

   is a woman. The man who kidnapped Lin Hao followed her, reached out and grabbed the woman who fell to the ground, and walked to Lin Hao without saying a word.

   The woman staggered and sighed in pain while being dragged by the man.

  Lin Hao stared at the woman who was getting closer, his eyes suddenly widened.

   It turned out to be Zhu Jiayu!

  Zhu Jiayu is the handkerchief hand of Chen Yi, the eldest girl in Huai'anbo House, and has become friends with Lin Hao, who is equally shocked to see Lin Hao.
