Chapter 316 Su Xin: I’m super brave!
Wen Yanzhao did not dare to delay. Upon hearing his aunt's words, his consciousness immediately left his body and he arrived at the Wen family in Lingnan in a moment.
As soon as I entered the door, I heard Grandpa Wen Lin's anxious voice:
"Buping, Alie!"
"What's going on? Has that bastard who warmed the pot of wine come back?"
"Uncle, don't worry. Maybe Hujiu has gone out of town to play!"
"Master, our informant in Lingnan City said..."
"Wen Lie, why are you hesitating? Tell me what you found out!"
"Yes! Our spies heard that at noon on the Shangsi Festival, the young master and Miss Dai Dai were harassed by a beggar-like guy as soon as they left Yuzhenfang. After the young master gave the beggar a few taels of silver, he was kidnapped by a group of strange-looking thieves..."
"What? A few bandits could have kidnapped him? I think he was really drunk! And then... where did they take this little bastard?!"
"Reporting to the Patriarch, the bandits imprisoned the young master in a black iron coffin and dragged him all the way out of the city, seemingly heading towards Su Xinbei's camp."
"Su Xin?!"
At this moment, Wen Yanzhao's consciousness suddenly fell from the air and landed directly in the main hall of the Wen family.
Wen Buping and Wen Lie were surprised, but when they saw that it was Wen Yanzhao, they felt much more at ease.
When Wen Lin saw his grandson coming back, all his worries disappeared in an instant. He happily went forward to hug Wen Yanzhao, but unexpectedly his arm passed through Wen Yanzhao's spiritual shadow.
"Zhao'er, you...what are you doing?"
Wen Yanzhao stood still and said calmly:
"Don't worry, Grandpa. This is Zhao'er's consciousness after he entered the realm of spiritual wandering!"
Wen Lin was so delighted when he heard this that his gray beard trembled:
"Great, great, my grandson has made great progress. Grandpa has only heard of him traveling thousands of miles, but this is the first time I've seen him!"
"Zhao'er, you came back not just to see Grandpa this time, right?"
Wen Yanzhao nodded and said:
"My aunt asked me to come back. She said she was uneasy and worried that something had happened at home."
Hearing that it was Wen Luoyu's idea, Wen Linlao's eyes froze and seemed to moisten a little. He choked a little:
"Yu'er, it's Yu'er. Sigh... She hasn't come back to visit for a few years since Dongjun grew up."
Wen Yanzhao saw his grandfather was sad, and couldn't bear it and quickly changed the subject:
"Grandpa, did you just tell Uncle Ping and A Lie that my uncle was kidnapped?"
Wen Lin waved his sleeves and said angrily, "You know best what kind of person your uncle is!"
"He's been idle all day. He went out to drink during the Shangsi Festival and was kidnapped. He hasn't returned yet. I guess he's offended some enemy he shouldn't have!"
"Otherwise, they are the henchmen of the imperial court, and they want to attack our Wen family!"
Wen Yanzhao thought for a moment and turned to Wen Lie:
"Ah Lie, you said that my uncle went to Yuzhenfang with Aunt Daidai that day? Where is Aunt Daidai now?"
Ali bowed and said:
"Young Master, you don't know that Miss Dai Dai has disappeared from Lingnan City since then!"
"I took people to Yixiang Garden to look for her a long time ago, but the mother in charge said that Daidai has never returned since she left during the Shangsi Festival..."
Wen Yanzhao stroked his chin, and seemed to have a plan in mind, so he bowed to Wen Lin;
"Don't worry, Grandpa. Zhao'er will set off back to Lingnan right now and will definitely rescue my uncle within three days!"
Wen Lin's face was filled with relief. "Don't worry, Zhao'er. I'll send servants to investigate the surrounding area. You must be careful on the road and beware of Beili's minions along the way!"
Wen Yanzhao nodded heavily, and then his figure turned into a burst of golden light and dissipated in the Wen family.
……
"Aunt, uncle, I'm back!"
Wen Yanzhao, who was in a daze just now, suddenly returned to normal.
"How is it, is everything okay at home?!"
Wen Luoyu spoke in an anxious tone.
"What my aunt said is true. My uncle has been kidnapped by thieves!"
"What! My brother..."
"Zhao'er, my uncle was kidnapped by someone!"
Wen Luoyu and Baili Chengfeng stood up at the same time, their faces showing anxiety.
Wen Yanzhao told them not to worry too much:
"Don't worry, aunt and uncle. My uncle has a pretty good reputation in the martial arts world and probably doesn't have any mortal enemies.
"Also, my family's A Lie said they seemed to have been taken captive to Su Xin's northern camp. This time, Grandpa Baili's three armies all returned victorious. Emperor Tai'an must be desperate. I suspect he is planning to attack our Wen family!"
Wen Luoyu slapped the marble table in front of her, leaving a handprint about an inch deep.
Baili Chengfeng saw that his wife was furious and dared not even breathe.
"Damn it, Baili Chengfeng! Let's go report this to our father and ask him to allocate us an army. We'll march straight through Bingzhou and head towards Tianqi City to seize his throne!"
Baili Chengfeng quickly took his wife's hand, looked carefully at her, and said softly:
"Madam, please calm down. Your health is very important..."
Wen Luoyu withdrew her hand, her eyes red:
"My brother is the most important! Baili Chengfeng, will you come with me? If you don't, I'll go and ask father for permission myself. If he doesn't agree, I'll go back to Lingnan with Zhao'er and kill all the troops stationed there, and force that bastard Su Xin to hand over my brother!"
Sure enough, Wen Luoyu is the one with the worst temper in the Wen family!
The same thought came to Wen Yanzhao and Baili Chengfeng's minds at the same time.
Seeing his aunt's indignation, Wen Yanzhao quickly advised:
"With Zhao'er here, why bother leaving, Auntie? You and Uncle should wait for my news in Qiandong. Within three days, I will teach that Su Xin a lesson!"
"Zhao'er, let's go now. We'll be in Lingnan in three hours. I'll rescue my uncle and come back to tell you two!"
After saying this, Wen Yanzhao pulled up onions from the dry land and soared into the sky.
After gathering enough Qi, he flew towards the southeast like a meteor chasing the moon...
……
Lingnan, Luofu Mountain.
From a hidden cave somewhere in the mountains, the sound of a pot of wine being warmed could be heard intermittently.
"I'll give you one more chance. If you let me go now, I might even give you a decent death!"
"Su Xin, even if you are not afraid of death, are your 40,000 soldiers and your wife and children in Lingnan City not afraid of death?"
"We, the Wen family, are the most reasonable. If you just let me go, I promise I won't be the first to poison you~"
The cave twists and turns, and in the innermost cave, there is a swaying oil lamp burning.
Wenhujiu was only wearing a thin white undergarment, and his arms and legs were tied tightly to a stone pillar about three or four feet high with thick black iron chains.
It seemed that Wenhujiu was the only one in the cave, and it looked like Wenhujiu had very little internal strength left. Otherwise, with his level of cultivation, the iron chain would be no different from straw and would break into two pieces with a slight struggle.
"Su Xin! Give me some wine, you coward! You don't dare to come head-on but resort to such despicable tactics..."
"Su Xin, are you a real man? Do you have the guts to fight me one-on-one? I promise I won't use poison!"
……
Wenhujiu gradually became tired of cursing and began to regret it.
He was kidnapped all the way from Lingnan City to here by the professional kidnapping team "Jinbuhuan", and his meridians were sealed with Tianxiang Mandragora.
To prevent any accidents, they specially cleaned the wine jar inside and out, especially the cloak with the three-character classic "Poison You" written on it, which was also thrown far away by them.
The Wen family is, after all, the Wen family.
During the body search of Wenhujiu, two unlucky guys accidentally triggered the poison buried in Wenhujiu's cuffs and waist, and instantly turned into a pile of rotten flesh.
The others had to use hooks to grab Wenhujiu's shoulders and tie him to the stone pillar.
"Zhao'er, come and save my uncle... These damned bastards have no moral principles!"
At this moment, footsteps were heard from outside the cave.
Wen Hujiu's eyes narrowed as he tried to mobilize his internal energy, but he found that the meridians throughout his body were numbed by the Tianxiang Mandragora drug and it had no effect at all.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and finally several people came in from outside the cave. The man in the lead had several layers of silver python skin wrapped around his face to protect himself from the poison.
But judging from the armor he was wearing, it was undoubtedly Su Xin.
"Warm up a pot of wine. I've heard of the Poison Bodhisattva for a long time, but seeing him today... humph, not so great!"
Wenhujiu snorted coldly:
"Are you Su Xin? Tell me, why did you arrest me?"
Su Xin sneered and said:
"If you want to live, tell your little poisonous nephew and the old poisonous Wen Lin to surrender!"
"Otherwise, I will arrest all of you Wen family members one by one like you did, and then..."
Su Xin gestured at his neck and stared at the warm pot of wine with cold eyes.
Warming up the pot of wine without getting angry but laughing:
"Hahahaha...Su Xin, you may be too confident in yourself. Do you know what my nephew's current cultivation level is?"
Su Xin looked disdainful:
"You, a bunch of damned martial artists, who disobey the king's laws and rules, how dare you disrupt the government and incite the Marquis of Zhenxi to rebel?"
"No matter what your cultivation level is, I, Su Xin, command 40,000 soldiers and horses. Even if you are Li Changsheng, I am not afraid!"
