Chapter 220 Leaving the City
Chapter 220 Leaving the City
After Ruan Qingqing had almost arranged everything in the experimental field, she let out a sigh of relief, looked at the full moon hanging in the sky, then turned and walked towards the old house.
Unlike before, this time she only looked for Old Man Ruan and Ruan Wanjin.
"Grandpa, uncle, I want to ask you for a favor this time."
When she found them, Ruan Qingqing went straight to the point.
"Qingqing, if you have any family problems, just tell them directly. Don't worry about anything." Old Master Ruan encouraged her while blowing out smoke rings.
"My father was kidnapped by the people of Moliang. Although Lord Fu and the others are tracking this case, a month has passed and they haven't made much progress. I want to go look for him myself." Ruan Qingqing pursed her lips and said.
"Can't you even leave Qingshui County? How are you going to find him?" Ruan Wanjin asked the question directly.
"This is where I need your help. I want to sneak out of the county by lying under Sister Ping's sedan chair on her wedding day."
"This..." Ruan Wanjin and Old Man Ruan looked at each other.
Mr. Ruan put down the gun in his hand and asked, "Why do you think you can definitely save your father?"
"I have made arrangements. When the time comes, as long as I find my father, someone will help me."
"Do we have to leave the city?" asked Mr. Ruan.
"We must leave the city!" Ruan Qingqing said with determination.
Ruan Wanjin and Old Man Ruan looked at each other again.
"Boss, you say."
"Qingqing, we have no objection to you sneaking out on the day Pingping gets married. But we still need to discuss the details carefully. And I hope Pingping won't be involved. After all, it's her wedding day."
"Yes, I understand! That's why I came to discuss this with you in advance. Also, afterward, although my family won't suffer any serious harm with Shi Ping around, they will inevitably suffer some physical pain for a while. I hope Grandpa and Uncle will take good care of our family then!"
"Don't worry about me taking care of this! We are a family, how can we just stand by and watch when something happens?" Ruan Wanjin waved his hand.
"That puts me at ease!"
After discussing the details, Ruan Qingqing went back home and went over the plan twice in her mind to make sure there were no omissions. Then she immediately sent Zhuge Hong and others out to find suitable materials for making biogas lamps. Wushang was also sent by her to find out information about her father.
This way, she was the only one around her.
Fu Yuanhao would pass her some news every now and then, and she slowly figured out the pattern. One letter every five days. That means she must leave Qingshui County within five days, and the farther the better, otherwise by the time everyone reacts, she will be caught again, and it will be harder than climbing to the sky to escape.
On the day of Ruan Pingping's wedding, there was a lot of noise from gongs and drums, and it was a very lively occasion.
Ruan Shizhuang carried her into the car.
Because the journey was long, the bridal sedan was not carried by manpower as usual, but a horse-drawn carriage was rented and decorated to be used as a bridal sedan.
She got into the carriage under everyone's blessing gaze.
With a sound, the carriage started slowly. When passing through the city gate, the guards carefully checked the carriage and only let it go after seeing that there were no flaws.
After the carriage had traveled two miles, it suddenly shook.
Ruan Qingqing could no longer hold on and fell out from under the car.
"Miss Ruan!"
Wushang rode his horse to her side at the right time and stretched out his hand to her.
After lying on the ground for a while, Ruan Qingqing held Wushang's hand and stood up with the help of his force.
"are you OK!"
"Except for feeling a little weak, everything else is fine!" Ruan Qingqing pulled her lips slightly, revealing a pale smile.
"We can't stay here for long. Follow me and get on the horse!" Wushang jumped on the horse swiftly and stretched out his hand to her again.
"I don't know how to ride a horse." Ruan Qingqing hesitated.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here!"
Ruan Qingqing looked back at Qingshui County again, and with his help, she climbed onto the horse.
"drive!"
With Wushang's loud shout, the distance between her and Qingshui County was getting farther and farther.
"Don't be sad, we can come back!"
The soft voice of comfort in her ears blurred her eyes in an instant.
"Yes! I will bring my father back with him!" Ruan Qingqing suppressed the bitterness in her heart and nodded.
Ruan Qingqing was led by Wushang on horseback and traveled non-stop, leaving Lu'an County and then Lulin Prefecture, heading north.
By the time she was discovered, she was almost at the territory of the Moliang people and had caught up with the Moliang spies who had held Ruan Wantie hostage.
"The other side has 200 people in the open, and I haven't been able to find out how many more there are in secret."
By the campfire, Wushang told everyone what he had learned.
With just five of them, they could rescue Ruan Wantie from those people and escape unscathed...
This is really tricky.
When everyone was frowning, Ruan Qingqing lit the flare that Chase gave her.
"What are you doing?"
"Summon the emperor's secret guards to rescue us!"
Zhuge Hong and others were stunned by her move.
"Aren't they in Qingshui County? How come they are here?"
"They should! I believe they should have noticed that I'm not here by now. After seeing their unique flares, they will definitely run over here. After all, their duty is to protect me." Ruan Qingqing explained.
"So what have we been doing these days?" Lu Dunren asked
"When we are short on manpower, we can only wait and see. Once we find out where they have hidden my father, we will strike them unexpectedly."
They were watching the situation, but Qingshui County was in an uproar.
Fu Yuanhao was the first to know that Ruan Qingqing was not in Zaoziling, because his letter was not replied in time. Shi Anzhi went directly to Wang's house to interrogate Wang and others about Ruan Qingqing's whereabouts.
For their safety, Ruan Qingqing did not tell them, so Wang always thought that Ruan Qingqing was kidnapped by criminals on the way to the bride.
Shi Anzhi couldn't get any information out of him, so he had to conduct a large-scale search in Qingshui County.
Chase and others joined in after noticing the commotion.
It was not until the signal flare sounded that he realized that the people were almost running to the end of the cold. Thinking of the emperor's order before coming, Chase couldn't help but shudder.
"Everyone, get ready, we are about to head to the end of Liang as quickly as possible!"
"Yes!"
When Shi Anzhi learned that Ruan Qingqing went to Moliang to rescue his father, he felt a black screen before his eyes. He had taken all precautions, but he didn't expect that there would still be a mistake.
When the people of Qingshui County learned that Ruan Qingqing was missing, their first reaction was whether hybrid seeds would still be available for the second year.
All of a sudden, many people came to her door to inquire about the news.
"Don't worry, there will be enough hybrid seeds for next year!"
Wang was pushed forward to give everyone assurance.
As a result, most of the onlookers went back, but some people still wanted to buy the corresponding seeds now.
Wu Quangui, the third son of Wu Zhongyou, refused everyone's request.
"In order to prevent improper storage or other accidents, we only start selling seeds when it is almost time to plant them."
"You are so strict, isn't it because you keep the production method of hybrid rice too secret? If you find a few more partners to cultivate together, there won't be so many problems."
Someone complained dissatisfiedly.
"The problem is that the breeding process itself is extremely complicated. I followed it for a while. It seems simple, but I don't understand it at all when I actually do it! And sometimes, in order to prevent mistakes, the boss does it himself!"
The farmers hired by Ruan Qingqing originally came to gather information, but when they saw someone slandering their employer, they couldn't help but speak up to defend him.
