Chapter 477: Snow on the Desk of the Infatuated Alliance Leader (79)
On the cliff.
Elder Wu didn't dare to let his servants lower a new rope.
Because if he showed any sign of trying to lower the rope, Bai Chao would look at him.
Elder Wu didn't want Bai Chao to touch the rope, so he had to ask someone to bring more ropes to tie it up.
After the owner of the manor comes up and tells them the situation below, they will let the ropes down so that more people can come down the mountain to help.
But it’s almost daybreak, so it’s not as dangerous as it is at night.
Elder Wu stood at the edge of the cliff waiting for the owner of the manor to come up.
Bai Chao leaned against a tree, holding his chin and looking towards the cliff.
He was not actually looking at Elder Wu's precious rope, but at the Heavenly Eye.
The third eye was showing the dark figure walking stiffly.
Bai Chao looked at the hand exposed from under the black shadow's sleeve and narrowed his eyes.
This dark shadow...
It's quite interesting.
"..."
Jing Hengzhou followed Bai Chao's gaze.
The sky was already turning pale.
It's almost dawn.
Suddenly, Jing Hengzhou's brows twitched.
At the same time, the rope at Elder Wu's feet seemed to move.
Before Elder Wu had time to look down, a figure flew up.
Elder Wu looked closely and saw that the person flying up was the owner of the manor, Jiang Yide.
"Master? You're back!"
"Ah."
Jiang Yide's brows were twisted into a knot.
Elder Wu saw the manor master's expression and felt uneasy: "Manor master, Madam and the others..."
Jiang Yide's expression became lonely, and he let out an almost inaudible sigh.
"They should be fine."
A hint of surprise flashed in Jing Hengzhou's eyes.
fine?
Is it okay to fall from this height?
"That's great, Master!" Elder Wu's face was filled with joy. "Are the Madam and the Young Lady waiting downstairs? I'll send someone down to help them up."
"No need."
Jiang Yide waved his hand.
"They're not here."
"...Ah?" Elder Wu couldn't understand Jiang Yide's words.
Jiang Yide sighed, "There's only the remains of the carriage below, but the people inside are gone."
Elder Wu was stunned for a moment: "No one in the carriage?"
"Yes, there was no blood around the carriage, so I judged that they might have left safely."
Elder Wu was a little stuck: "Are the madam and the others really okay?"
"There are a lot of vines growing underneath. Maybe it's really like what the elder said. With these plants and trees as a buffer, people will be fine."
Jiang Yide frowned, "And I think Madam seems to have had help from someone. There are no footprints around. Perhaps the traces have been destroyed."
Elder Wu quickly asked, "Should we send someone down to look for it again?"
"No need."
Jiang Yide's tone was bitter: "After going through this ordeal, Madam didn't even want to return to the villa for help. Instead, she left with the others. I think I understand Madam's thoughts. She doesn't want to see me no matter what."
"The owner of the village..."
"Now that I know they're okay, I should do as they wish."
Elder Wu was still a little hesitant: "Master, do you really not need someone to go down and take a look?"
"no need."
"All right……"
Bai Chao, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up: "Is Chuchu really okay?"
Jiang Yide then noticed that the boy was still there, and his face fell.
"Of course it's okay."
Bai Chao stood up and walked over slowly.
"Are the other people in the carriage okay?"
Jiang Yide was a little impatient: "There is no one around the carriage, so it must be fine."
Bai Chao nodded. "I see. Master, do you remember what you brought in the carriage?"
Jiang Yide curled his lips and said, "It's just my daughter's household stuff. I went down to look for someone, not to check on the luggage. Stop asking me useless questions."
Bai Chao's face showed confusion. "That's strange. Since they voluntarily abandoned the carriage and left, why didn't they take their luggage and leave?"
"..."
Jiang Yide coughed heavily. "The carriages were broken, and all that was left were heavy objects that couldn't be taken away. What they couldn't take away was naturally left there."
When Bai Chao was about to say something, Jiang Yide suddenly interrupted him.
"Jiang Langyu, what tone are you using when talking to me?"
When Elder Wu heard this, he was afraid that Bai Chao would start arguing with the owner of the manor again, so he interrupted.
"Master, if there's no need to find anyone, then shall we withdraw the rope first?"
"..."
Jiang Yide waved his hand and said, "Everyone, retreat. And this one on the cliff, too."
"Yes."
Elder Wu looked at Jiang Yide, then at Bai Chao, but still didn't mention the incident of the hemp rope breaking once.
Jiang Yide sighed, "I wonder if they brought enough gold, silver, and jewelry."
Elder Wu saw that the owner was still worried, so he advised: "Why don't you try to look for the lady again? If you find her, you can give them some money to save them from suffering on the journey."
"But Madam won't accept money because of her personality..."
Jiang Yide pondered for a moment and then instructed, "Jiang Langyu, take your men to the surrounding towns at the foot of the mountain to look for her these few days. If you see her, give her some extra things and don't stop her. If you don't find her, there's no need to look for her anymore."
Bai Chao, however, did not follow orders as he did before: "How can I go? Isn't the owner going to put me in a water dungeon?"
Elder Wu: “…”
The young master is really bringing up things that are not related to the topic...
Jiang Yide cursed, "Asshole! If you keep talking nonsense, you'll be thrown into the dungeon right now!"
Bai Chao said indifferently: "Master, you asked me to lead people down the mountain. Is the mountain road outside repaired? Otherwise, how can I go down the mountain?"
"..."
Jiang Yide couldn't help but rage, "Idiot! The mountain road hasn't been repaired yet. The lady and the others can use the road in the back mountain, but you can't?! Have you wasted all your skills?"
Bai Chao said, "Okay, Elder Wu, then don't put this rope away for now. If I accidentally fall in the back mountain, I can still climb back with this rope. Otherwise, I will die in the mountains and no one will know, and the owner of the manor will be burdened with the sin of killing again."
Elder Wu: “…”
Jiang Yide: “…”
Jiang Yide almost fainted from anger: "You bastard..."
Elder Wu quickly tried to smooth things over: "Master, please calm down, Master, please calm down!"
"Elder Wu, what do you think this brat is saying?"
Elder Wu pulled Jiang Yidra aside and pointed at his head: "Master, I think the young master may have been stimulated. This place is not good."
Jiang Yide: “…”
"What do you mean? Is there something wrong with his brain?"
"That's not the case..." Elder Wu hesitated, "Maybe the young man is just angry?"
Jiang Yide glared: "He still dares to have a temper?"
Elder Wu: "Not really..."
After the young master broke out of confinement, he didn't lose his temper, nor did he seek revenge on the master, but he was sarcastic and irritating...
"Master, the Young Master was probably imprisoned for a few days, and then when he heard that something happened to the young lady, he lost his manners..."
"..."
Jiang Yide was quite speechless: "It's all because of what this bastard did first!"
If Bai Chao hadn't taken it upon himself to find a woman who looked very similar to Mu Yan'er, why would he punish him like this?
Elder Wu didn't know that Bai Chao had stuffed a beauty into the manor owner's room.
"Um... May I ask, Master, what did the Young Master do wrong?"
Jiang Yide didn't say it directly, but just sighed heavily: "Alas! What a misfortune for our family."
“…” Elder Wu felt that the young master must have done something bad.
Jiang Yide stood with his hands behind his back, feeling suspicious.
Bai Chao's current disobedience really looks like he has a mental problem.
The aphrodisiac he had people add to the wine won’t have any other side effects, right?
No, although this evil boy has become bolder, he still dare not give up his position as the young master of the manor.
What's wrong with his brain? He looks very clear-headed!
Elder Wu continued to advise: "You should give him some time to relax. Don't bother with him these few days."
Jiang Yide exhaled a breath of foul air: "Whatever."
For the next few days, I have to let this evil boy pretend to find someone, and then I will discipline him again after he comes back.
Seeing that the owner of the manor had listened, Elder Wu also breathed a sigh of relief: "Master, you haven't slept all night, why don't you go back and rest first?"
"Alright, Elder Wu, thank you for troubling me this night."
"Master, you are too polite. This is what I should do."
Jiang Yide walked back with his hands behind his back, but suddenly stopped.
Repairing the mountain road was a spur-of-the-moment decision he made. That evil boy should still be in solitary confinement during that time. How did he know that the road outside had not been repaired?
Could it be that Elder Wu told Bai Chao this while he was away?
And... he didn't let anyone inform Bai Chao about Chuchu's disappearance, so how did he know about it?
Could it be that this bastard has gotten too far...
Jiang Yide's face darkened again.
