Chapter 408 Zhou Sheng Ru Gu 19
When Zhou Shengchen was leading his troops to Qingyang City, he happened to meet the soldiers sent back by Xie Yun.

After reading the letter Xie Yun wrote to him and learning that there was no plague in Qingyang City, Zhou Shengchen put his worries aside.

He handed the letter to Zhou Tianxing who was standing beside him, and instructed, "Tianxing, collect the herbs mentioned in Xie Yun's letter immediately, and bring them to Qingyang City as soon as possible."

Zhou Tianxing read the letter and knew the seriousness of the matter: "Yes, Master."

Zhou Shengchen continued to lead two thousand soldiers to Qingyang City.

However, after arriving in Qingyang City, they saw Wang’s army everywhere in the city, as if they were looking for someone.

Zhou Shengchen had a very bad feeling in his heart.

When Xie Yun saw Zhou Shengchen appear, the panic in his heart finally found an outlet. He was a grown man, but he almost cried.

He said to Zhou Shengchen anxiously: "Master, you are finally here, Ling Xi is missing."

Zhou Shengchen was already panicked by the news before he even got off his horse.

He immediately jumped off his horse, clenched his hands, and asked Xie Yun in confusion, "How could he disappear? Aren't there Wang's troops patrolling the city?"

Xie Yun: "Ling Xi went to investigate the situation at several clean wells in the city. I asked two soldiers to take her there, but later, for some reason, Ling Xi asked them to return. Since then, there has been no news about her. I took people to look for her, but I didn't see her along the way."

"I just realized something was wrong. I ordered the soldiers to almost turn Qingyang City upside down, but they still couldn't find her."

Zhou Shengchen frowned, but found something wrong from Xie Yun's words: "You said Ling Xi released the two soldiers who followed her?"

Xie Yun didn't think there was anything wrong: "Yes, Master, but what's wrong?"

In the past, Ling Xi didn't like to be followed by others in the military camp. Moreover, although she was not good at martial arts, she was extremely agile and had various self-defense medicines on her, so no one would follow her all the time.

Xie Chong also sensed something was wrong in the words. He glanced at Xie Yun and said with some dismay:
"You, don't you think about it? Ling Xi is not an ignorant person. She used to be steady and down-to-earth. Qingyang City is in such a mess and full of sick people. Why would she drive away the people around her?"

Xie Yun seemed to understand something. He looked up at Zhou Shengchen silently, then hesitantly said:
"Military Advisor, what you mean is that Ling Xi knew that someone was following her, so she deliberately asked the two soldiers to leave, and she took advantage of the situation and let herself be taken away on purpose?"

Without waiting for Xie Chong to speak, Zhou Shengchen spoke, his voice slightly hoarse: "Take me to where she is gone."

Xie Yun didn’t know what his master’s mood was at the moment, but he was sure that his master was not in a very good mood.

Ling Xi put himself in danger without leaving any information. The master must be furious.

Xie Yun took Zhou Shengchen to the remote corner where Ling Xi disappeared, "Master, this is where Ling Xi disappeared."

Zhou Shengchen looked straight at this small area, as if he wanted to see something special about this corner.

At this moment, a slightly dazzling light flashed across Zhou Shengchen's eyes, attracting Zhou Shengchen's attention.

He followed the light and saw a hairpin inlaid with a red gem thrown in a blind corner.

Zhou Shengchen walked over, picked up the hairpin, and held it in his hand, holding it tightly. He didn't feel the pain even though his hand was pinched.

At this moment, Zhou Shengchen still had nothing to understand. Ling Xi discovered that the city was poisoned, and found suspicious people while patrolling the wells. She was also noticed by those people because of her identity.

So she deliberately sent away the soldiers who followed her to protect her, and deliberately let herself be captured by those people.

She used herself as bait to find out who was behind the poisoning in Qingyang City.

If Ling Xi was here at this moment, Zhou Shengchen would definitely punish her severely for not caring about her own safety.

But all the anger turned into worry now that I can't see Ling Xi.

She was a weak and beautiful girl, and she had no martial arts skills. Even if she had some medicine powder on her body, when facing someone with high martial arts skills, those things could not protect her from being safe, but would instead become a death warrant.

He couldn't even imagine what kind of suffering Ling Xi would have to endure.

Thinking of this, Zhou Shengchen was extremely anxious and immediately gave an order: "Xie Yun, take Wang Jun to search around Qingyang City immediately. Don't let go of any place. Make sure to find Ling Xi as soon as possible."

Xie Yun was already feeling guilty for losing Ling Xi, so Zhou Shengchen's order was a timely relief for him. He immediately clasped his fists and solemnly promised, "Yes, Master."

After ensuring the safety of Qingyang City, a large number of Wang's troops were sent out from Qingyang City and began searching around with Qingyang City as the center.

At this time, Ling Xi was being tied up and walked south.

When investigating the well in Qingyang City, Ling Xi discovered that someone was following her, and that the person seemed to have considerable martial arts skills.

Moreover, there were more than a few people behind that person.

Therefore, in order to save the lives of the two Wang army soldiers and to take advantage of the situation, Ling Xi sent back the two soldiers who were protecting her.

When she was left alone, those people really started to take action.

To deal with an unarmed girl, they didn't bother to use any complicated methods and just used drugs.

But who is Ling Xi? How could that little bit of drug have an effect on a doctor like her?

She pretended to be drugged and dropped the hairpin when the opportunity arose. Then she was taken away.

There were about eight or nine people who kidnapped her, and judging from their footsteps, their martial arts skills were not too bad.

After capturing her, they took her and secretly left Qingyang City through a gap in the city wall, and then led her south.

And to the south is Nan Xiao.

This proves that Ling Xi's guess was correct.

It is true that someone from Nanxiao poisoned Qingyang City in an attempt to interfere with the war between Beichen and Nanxiao.

But she didn't know what that person's purpose was.

Guessing that the drug-taking time had expired, Ling Xi pretended to wake up from a coma and opened his eyes.

She was tied up tightly and placed in a carriage, which was shaking and moving forward quickly.

There were two men guarding her, each holding a sword.

Ling Xi was sure that there were two people in the carriage, two more outside the curtain, and at least four more people following the carriage on horseback.

Seeing that Ling Xi woke up, the two men ignored her. They just glanced at her and then looked away.

Ling Xi showed a frightened expression, his whole body was shaking, and his face turned pale in an instant.

"Who are you? Why are you arresting me?"
