Chapter 121 Jiang Bu Arrives
Jiang Bu and Yuan Bao traveled lightly, riding their horses at top speed and heading towards Huizhou. The journey that would have taken four or five days was compressed into just three days, and they hardly stopped along the way.
After finally arriving in Huizhou, Jiang Bu immediately sent Yuan Bao to Liweilou to inquire about the news, while he himself went straight to the Huizhou government office. However, when he arrived at the government office, he learned that Xie Ci was not recuperating there, but was following a large group of people to the scene of the accident to start searching. Anxious, Jiang Bu immediately asked the yamen runner to take him to find Xie Ci. It was not until he saw Xie Ci in person that he realized that in just five or six days, his cousin had become so thin that he was no longer human, and his face was frighteningly pale.
"Cousin!" Jiang Bu called out, and Xie Ci's eyes instantly turned red.
"Cousin, I'm sorry... I still haven't found any clues." These days, Xie Ci has been enduring the torment in his heart, always believing that his cousin is still alive, just trapped somewhere waiting for rescue. However, the fruitless search day after day made him more and more worried. Now Jiang Bu's arrival made him realize that he had actually been afraid for a long time.
Jiang Bu looked at the young general who was once full of vigor and vitality, but now he became so depressed and decadent. He could feel the deep guilt from his cousin's tone and expression, but he knew that it was not his cousin's fault.
"Cousin, how is your injury?" Jiang Bu couldn't help but ask, his heart full of worry. Although the letter did not describe their injuries in detail, the enemy who could force his eldest brother to fall off the cliff was definitely not an ordinary person.
"Third Master, our cousin was seriously injured, and he has not rested these days in order to find our eldest master, causing the wound to become infected." Yuan Chu said worriedly. He was concerned about the safety of his own master, and also worried about his cousin's condition.
Hearing this, Jiang Bu's heart tightened and he quickly looked at Yuan Chu, only to see that his face was as pale as paper, and it was obvious that he was also seriously injured.
"Cousin, Yuanchu, you all should go back to Liwei Tower to rest first." Jiang Bu gave the order decisively, his eyes firm and resolute, "I will send more people to continue searching for the whereabouts of big brother downstream."
He understood that the most important thing at this moment was to allow the two injured people to get enough rest and treatment to recover their physical strength. Only in this way could they better deal with what might happen next.
"No, I don't need to rest. I can do it. Just let Yuanchu go back. If I was there at that time, my cousin would not have been ambushed." Xie Ci said with a guilty look on his face.
Seeing Xie Ci's stubborn look, Jiang Bu said nothing more. He just took advantage of the moment when Xie Ci wasn't paying attention and knocked him unconscious with a knife. He then ordered Yuan Chu to go back and rest. Not long after, Yuan Bao brought some friends from the martial arts world here.
The court has its own rules, and the martial arts world has its own rules. So Jiang Bu was a little unsure, so he still needed help from the martial arts world.
Through the traces of fighting at the scene, those friends in the martial arts world concluded that the robbery and murder were not done by people in the martial arts world. They speculated that it might be the family's secret guards or Deadpool.
This result surprised Jiang Bu. He thought it was done by a gangster killer, but he didn't expect it was a family guard. However, no family logo was found at the scene.
"Third Young Master, we will mobilize the underworld forces in Huizhou to try our best to find the eldest young master. However, the range may be wider because there is a turbulent river under the cliff. Your eldest brother may have drifted downstream or further. As long as we search along the river, we will definitely find clues." said a black-clad brother wearing a big knife.
Other people in the martial arts world also echoed: "Yes! Third Young Master, don't worry! We will do our best to find the eldest young master."
"Yes, Third Young Master, we are all your friends. Just let me know if you need any help." These people from the martial arts world seemed very enthusiastic and loyal. They were willing to help Jiang Bu find his elder brother.
Jiang Bu looked at these people with gratitude, tears flashing in his eyes. He took a deep breath and tried to control his emotions. He knew that these people were sincerely trying to help him, and he couldn't let them down.
"Thank you, Brother Di. Jiang Bu would like to thank all the brothers here." Jiang Bu saluted everyone with his fists to express his gratitude. He knew that these people in the underworld were all his good friends, and they were willing to help him find his brother. He felt extremely lucky.
Jiang Bu led these people to search all the way downstream of the cliff, but still found nothing. This made Jiang Bu more and more worried. Xie Ci slept for two days and two nights after being knocked unconscious by Jiang Bu last time, and the first thing he did when he woke up was to complain to the search team.
Jiang Bu asked him to return to the capital to report. Xie Ci disagreed at first, but Jiang Bu later told him the stakes involved. Because the palace had already received the news, Xie Ci rushed to the capital to report, holding the evidence given to him by his cousin. Although he knew that the evidence was incomplete, it was still earned by his cousin's life.
