Chu Pian Ran carried the teenage boy in an area that had many trees.
The girl immediately made a bonfire as a body warmer.
The early morning air was very cold.
"Hey wake up." Chu Pian Ran patted the boy's shoulder.
After several attempts, the boy finally opened his eyes. He was shocked and extremely frightened as there was a masked man crouching in front of him.
"You don't have to be afraid, I'm not a bad guy. I'm the one who freed you from that room." Chu Pian Ran said to calm the boy down.
The boy looked around him. He was confused because he was suddenly somewhere else.
"Sir who?" Ask the boy weak.
"Call me, Mr. Song." Chu Pian Ran replied.
"Are you okay?" Chu Pian Ran.
"My body hurts all because they tortured me a few times." Said the boy grimacing in pain.
"Why were you tortured by them? And why are you locked up in that place?" Chu Pian Ran asked.
The boy then told Chu Pian Ran.
"So now your sister is in their hands?" Chu Pian Ran.
"Yes sir. But it seems like they've already taken brother Mian away to another place. I don't know where they're taking them." The boy then cried.
Chu Pian Ran tried to calm the boy down by stroking his shoulders.
"I will try to help you with all your might. Now the important thing is we have to find a safe place. If they find out you've suddenly disappeared from the room, they're not going to stay quiet." Chu Pian Ran said.
After resting for an hour. Chu Pian Ran returned to hold the boy and looked for a safe place to hide.
The eyes of Lu Zee who had seen earlier even heard the conversation the two of them gasped. There was an intention in his heart to help the masked man.
However it was impossible for him to take a step before there was an order from his master.
Morning before sunrise
Lu Zee reported all of those events to Qin Wu Zhu.
"Where did he hide the boy?" Qin Wu Zhu asked.
"On a great tree, sir." Answer Lu Zee.
"We're going there now. We have to help Mr. Song." Said the young man.
The two young men then went towards the forest where the boy was hidden.
By using a body-lightening technique, both of them do reconnaissance first.
Apparently the boy was alone in the tree. While the existence of the masked man went nowhere.
Half an hour later, a masked man was seen jumping over some trees. The masked man was carrying a sizable bundle.
The masked man took out
something from inside the bundle, which was apparently food.
The boy ate very well.
The actions of the two of them were seen by Qin Wu Zhu and Zee.
Without a second thought, Qin Wu Zhu flew towards the tree where the two of them were.
Chu Pian Ran who knew the movements of the young man then turned his head.
The boy stopped eating and showed a tense and frightened face.
The girl was not at all surprised by Qin Wu Zhu's arrival.
"Finally you came also, noble prince?" Chu Pian Ran said making the young man shocked.
"You recognize me?" Qin Wu Zhu asked in disbelief.
"Who does not know your majesty. Your disguise is really bad. My eyes can't be fooled." Said Chu Pian Ran bluntly.
"Since Mr. Song has recognized me, we'll just get to the point. We came here to offer help. It seems Hong Gwan's problem isn't easy." The Tawar Qin Wu Zhu.
"Alright, I accept your help sir." Chu Pian Ran said.
Lu Zee was in discussions with the two of them.
Finally they agreed to get out of Sanchuan and find a safe place for the recovery of Wang Er, the boy's nickname.
The task was left to Qin WunZhu and Lu Zee. While Chu Pian Ran would remain in Sanchuan to observe Hong Gwan's movements.
Finally they parted ways and Chu Pian Ran returned to the inn for a short break.
****
In the morning, Hong Gwan's residence was in an uproar. The boy they had been holding hostage for a few days suddenly disappeared. The door lock is still locked.
Hong Gwan, the fat and potbellied middle-aged man then deployed all his men to explore Sanchuan and recapture the boy, dead or alive.
Hong Gwan does not want the boy's disappearance to endanger his family's safety.
With a quick reaction Hong Gwan's men spread out to several places in search of the boy.
****
After they obtained the inn, Lu Zee immediately found a healer to check on the boy.
In Wang Er's body there were many injuries. It seemed like the boy had already gotten a lot of torment in Hong Gwan's house.
Wang Er was then handed over to Lu Zee and Qin Wu Zhu returned to Sanchuan to meet Master Song.
****
In the afternoon, Chu Pian Ran had just woken up from sleep. After bathing and eating the girl shut herself in the room to meditate while waiting for Qin Wu Zhu's arrival.
The girl did not know that Hong Gwan was currently in the fog looking for the boy.
Feeling conceded, Hong Gwan increased the number of guards in his residence by 3 times, especially at night.
There were even some guards assigned to stand on the roof of the residence.
A man came to report.
"How, has the boy been found?" Ask Hong Gwan.
"Sorry sir, until now we haven't found the boy." Answer the man.
"Dropped! Catching a kid alone you're not acting ha?!" Shouted the middle-aged man while pounding the table.
"Why did you come here!" Hong Gwan continued in a still high voice.
"Sorry sir, I would like to report that these few days the rising masked man is in Sanchuan. It's possible that he was the one who took the boy away, sir." The bright man.
"What's? That Song is in Sanchuan? Why didn't you tell me earlier you were a moron!" Ketus Hong Gwan while clenching both his hands.
"I'm sorry for our negligence sir. We think the masked man just stopped by." Reply to the men.
"Not much reason! Now you observe Song's movements. If anything suspicious report to me immediately!" Song Gwan's orders.
"Okay, sir, I'll do it." Said the man and left his master.
From then on, Chu Pian Ran's movements were supervised by some of Song Gwan's men.
In the morning, Qin Wu Zhu had arrived in Sanchuan again.
The young man headed straight to the Yukuai inn to meet master Song.
"You look very tired, your highness the prince. You better rest first, don't get you sick before we manage to dismantle Hong Gwan's rot." Chu Pian Ran said as he looked at Qin Wu Zhu's face.
"What's your next plan, Mr. Song?" Ask the young man.
"Now that Hong Gwan's people are on standby, we don't need to be rash. Even he had suspected me and told his men to watch over me." Chu Pian Ran said.
"You better rest first. If I ever need your help, I'll tell you." Chu Pian Ran.
Qin Wu Zhu obeyed the masked man's words and rested his body for several hours in one of the rooms in the inn.
In the afternoon, Qin Wu Zhu and the masked man ate at their noodle stall again. This time they talked about common things because they realized they were being watched.
They deliberately ate at the noodle shop to lure Hong Gwan's men.
After finishing eating noodles, they also took a walk in the Sanchuan area.
As they passed through the fairly deserted streets, they deliberately separated.
Chu Pian Ran deliberately passed through the quiet and fairly dark streets to lure Hong Gwan's men.
When there was a good opportunity, the girl quickly disappeared from the supervision of Hong Gwan's men.
As Chu Pian Ran had expected. There was a large tall man who was in a daze looking for the existence of a masked man who suddenly disappeared just like that.
"Hey, are you looking for me?" Chu Pian Ran asked casually behind the man.
Hong Gwan's men did not answer the masked man's question.
"You're Hong Gwan's men, right? And he told you to keep an eye on my movements? I was the one who ran away the boy you were looking for. You must be scared that your crimes are exposed, right?" Chu Pian Ran said bluntly.
Without commenting, the man darted forward and attacked the masked man.
There was a fierce fight between Chu Pian Ran and Hong Gwan's men.
Over 20 minutes they fought before finally the man's body was knocked down by the strength of Chu Pian Ran's hand and fell rolling on the ground.
Apparently Qin Wu Zhu was already near the man. Without waiting for time, Qin Wu Zhu beat up the man and there was a fight back.
Because the young man had eaten a lot of salt acid in the martial and war world, it was not until half an hour that the man was defeated.
Now Hong Gwan's men were already firmly bound in a room that Qin Wu Zhu had rented before.
Again Qin Wu Zhu beat the man to death.
"Say, where did your employer sell those people?!" Qin Wu Zhu asked while strangling the man's neck.
"The only way you want to get beat up again? Just so you know, I am the second prince of the Qin emperor in disguise. I've lived in the military for years, so I can easily subdue your conspirators." Continue the young man.
Since there was no reaction from Hong Gwan's men, Qin Wu Zhu took off his mustache and showed his identity token in front of the man.
"How, do you still not believe it too ha!" Snapped Qin Wu Zhu.
"Excuse your highness the prince, I'm just following orders... The brain behind this human trafficking is Mr. Hong." Finally the man made a sound.
Plaque!
Qin Wu Zhu slapped the man once more.
