Chapter 2017 Solo Reconnaissance
Chapter 2017 Solo Reconnaissance
Just then, the man who had gone to check the bushes came back.
When he saw what was happening in the yard, he turned around and started to run.
Yan Ruyu was quick-witted and picked up the stick on the ground and threw it at the man's back.
The stick hit the man's leg, and he cried out "ouch" and fell to the ground.
Yan Ruyu walked over, subdued him, and tied him up together with the previous man.
"Okay, let's go quickly. We can't stay here for long. If their people come, it will be troublesome." Yan Ruyu said to Su Shengsheng and those women.
Su Shengsheng nodded and said to the women, "Come with us, we will take you to a safe place."
The women nodded quickly and followed Su Shengsheng and Yan Ruyu out of the courtyard. When Mu Xiao saw them coming out, he also hurried over to help support the women who were walking slower.
The group walked towards the previous courtyard. On the way, Su Shengsheng asked one of the women, "How long have you been imprisoned here? Are there other sisters imprisoned somewhere else?"
The woman thought for a moment and whispered, "I've been locked up here for almost half a month. We can't leave the yard. As for the other people... there should be some. I've heard them mention them when they talk, but we don't know where they are exactly. They're keeping a close watch on us, so we don't dare ask any more questions."
Yan Ruyu frowned even more after hearing this: "It seems that there are still many women being held captive by them. We have to find a way to find them."
Su Shengsheng nodded: "Yes, we must rescue them all and not let those bad guys do evil again!"
Mu Xiao also said: "If you can find where the other sisters are being held, I'm willing to help. I know some of the habits of those people, and maybe I can be of help."
Yan Ruyu looked at Mu Xiao and nodded: "Okay, if you need anything, we will let you help.
Now take these sisters to the silver ingot, reunite with No. 7 and No. 9, and then discuss the next plan."
The group did not walk fast because the women were very weak and had to rest after walking for a while.
Su Shengsheng and Mu Xiao kept supporting them and gave them some water from time to time.
Yan Ruyu walked at the end, keeping an eye on the movements behind to make sure no one caught up.
After a while, they returned to the previous yard.
Seeing them returning with so many women, Yinding quickly came forward to greet them: "Miss Yan, you're back. These are..."
"These are the women who were imprisoned. We rescued them." Yan Ruyu said, "You watch over them first and let them rest for a while. I'll go see how the prince is doing."
Yinding nodded: "Okay, don't worry, I will take good care of them."
Yan Ruyu turned around and was about to leave, and Su Shengsheng quickly said, "I'll go with you!"
Yan Ruyu thought about it and nodded: "Okay, then you come with me. Mu Xiao, you stay here and help Yin Ding take care of them."
Mu Xiao nodded: "I understand."
Yan Ruyu and Su Shengsheng walked towards the direction Huo Changhe was going. Not long after, they saw Huo Changhe coming towards them with Zhou Lie.
Zhou Lie's complexion became even worse, and he even walked unsteadily.
"How is it? Did you find anything?" Yan Ruyu walked up to him and asked.
Huo Changhe nodded, his tone cold and hard: "They have a larger base in the valley to the west. There are more women imprisoned there, and their leader is also there."
Su Shengsheng's eyes lit up: "Great, we finally found out. Let's go to the valley now and rescue those women."
"Go now, we can't let those women suffer any more!"
Huo Changhe looked at Yan Ruyu, then glanced at Su Shengsheng, and warned, "There are quite a few people in that stronghold, and some of them are skilled in martial arts. We only have four of us, plus those women. If we confront them head-on, we might be in danger."
Yan Ruyu nodded, "Yes, we can't just fight head-on. We have to find a way to understand the situation of the stronghold first, and then make a plan."
Su Shengsheng thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we send someone to investigate first? See how many people are inside and what the defenses are like, and then find a way to get in."
Yan Ruyu looked at Huo Changhe.
Huo Changhe nodded: "Okay, I'll go investigate. For now, take those women to a safe place and wait for news."
Yan Ruyu thought for a moment and said, "Okay, let's go to the yard where we were just now. The people we just rescued are there."
Huo Changhe nodded, glanced at Zhou Lie again, and said to Yan Ruyu, "What should we do with Zhou Lie? It's inconvenient to take him with us."
Yan Ruyu looked at Zhou Lie and thought for a moment: "Tie him to the tree here and deal with him when we come back. If we take him with us, it would be troublesome if he does something tricky."
Huo Changhe nodded, found a tree, tied Zhou Lie up, and blocked his mouth with cloth to prevent him from shouting.
After dealing with Zhou Lie, Huo Changhe said to Yan Ruyu and Su Shengsheng, "I'm leaving now. Be careful."
After saying this, he turned and walked away quickly, disappearing into the woods in a short while.
Yan Ruyu and Su Shengsheng turned around and walked back. Su Shengsheng said as he walked, "I hope we can successfully investigate the situation so that we can rescue the other sisters as soon as possible."
Yan Ruyu nodded: "Yes, he is a skilled martial artist and is very cautious. He will definitely come back safely. Let's go back now and tell them the news so that they can rest assured."
The two returned to the yard.
The women were sitting in the yard resting, and Yinding and Mu Xiao were giving them water and food.
Seeing Yan Ruyu and Su Shengsheng coming back, they all raised their heads, their eyes full of anticipation.
Yan Ruyu walked up to them and said in a gentle tone, "We have already found out where the other sisters are being held, and someone has gone to investigate. When he comes back, we will go and rescue them.
Just be patient for a while, and you will be able to reunite with your sisters soon."
When the women heard the news, they were so excited that they started crying and kept saying "thank you".
Su Shengsheng felt warm in his heart when he looked at them, and felt that all his previous hard work was not in vain.
Mu Xiao walked up to Yan Ruyu and whispered, "Sir, if you need help, just tell me anytime and I'll do my best."
Yan Ruyu looked at her, nodded and smiled: "Okay."
The atmosphere in the yard was no longer as depressing as before, but filled with hope and expectation.
Everyone sat in the yard, resting and waiting for Huo Changhe to come back.
Su Shengsheng and Mu Xiao talked to the women and comforted them.
Yan Ruyu sat aside, thinking about the next plan and waiting for news from Huo Changhe.
The sky gradually darkened and the day passed quickly.
There was still no news from Huo Changhe.
