Chapter 132 This, actually...
"We did not infiltrate the general's mansion."
Xiong Er answered Yu Wanwan's question with an honest and simple expression.
Yu Wanwan?
"Then how did you bring me out?"
Surely she couldn't have sleepwalked and followed them out, could she?
“Madam Pei, we did not infiltrate the General’s Mansion because we were underground there the whole time.”
Xiong Er explained to Yu Wanwan with an innocent look on his face.
Their leader initially wanted to stop him, but when he saw his foolish appearance, he shook his head helplessly and ultimately gave up.
Forget it, Yu Wanwan has already been captured by them, so there's no harm in telling her.
She can't escape now anyway.
Yu Wanwan?
“We used to live underground in the General’s Mansion. In the past few days, we have taken advantage of the fact that the people in the General’s Mansion were not paying attention to obtain some food and water. However, in the last two days, your steward has sent more people to guard the food.”
We can't steal grain anymore.
Furthermore, I overheard your steward saying that he has already begun arranging for people to dig tunnels.
Yu Wanwan remembered that a couple of days ago, she seemed to have heard the steward mention to Chen Shu that some grain and water in the General's Mansion had mysteriously disappeared.
Later, the steward assigned more people to guard the grain.
So it turns out they stole all that food and water.
No wonder she felt like she was being watched while she was sleeping last night.
But she searched the entire room and found nothing.
It turns out they were all hiding underground.
She suddenly felt somewhat relieved that she hadn't developed feelings for Pei Yi during this time.
Otherwise, if she were to make love with Pei Yi in the room, they might eavesdrop.
This is very embarrassing.
It seems like we've asked almost everything we needed to.
There are also some things you can know without asking.
For example, why did they capture her?
Even a three-year-old could answer that.
Yu Wanwan's eyes darted around.
Should we run away now?
Otherwise, if they went back to their base camp, even though there were only a little over three hundred people there.
But she was all alone.
Will she still be able to escape then?
Luocheng.
The steward summoned everyone in the manor.
Especially those who were guarding Yu Wanwan's courtyard.
Although fewer people were guarding Yu Wanwan's courtyard last night, those who were there did not slack off.
They also ensured that every location was guarded.
As soon as the soldiers arrived, they immediately said, "No one has entered or left the area I'm guarding. I can guarantee with my life that I didn't close my eyes all night yesterday and didn't leave."
“No one has ever entered or left the area I’m guarding, and I can vouch for it with my own life.”
"Me too……"
The tall guy was among them.
“Last night, the little bird also circled in the air above the General’s mansion. It said it didn’t see any strange people coming in or out, and it certainly didn’t see anyone bringing the General’s wife in or out.”
The little bird is the name of the gyrfalcon.
Yu Wanwan even mentally complained when she learned the name Hai Dongqing.
That tall guy is definitely jealous.
Jealous of the gyrfalcon's large size and imposing stature, it deliberately named the bird "little bird" in an attempt to suppress it.
The butler frowned.
"We haven't seen any strange people coming in or out, nor have we seen anyone leave with the General's wife. So how exactly did the General's wife leave the General's mansion?"
Someone reminded the housekeeper.
"Butler, do you remember the grain and water that went missing from the storeroom two days ago?"
"The guards at the gate did not see any strange people going in or out, but in the end, the items were indeed lost."
"Do you think those people might have been staying in our mansion the whole time, and never left?"
"None of our men saw them leave, and we didn't see anyone go out even outside the city. Could they still be inside the general's mansion?"
The butler narrowed his eyes.
"Search! Dig up the entire General's Mansion, even if it means turning the ground upside down, and find the lady."
When Pei Yi returned to the general's mansion, the entire mansion had indeed been dug up three feet deep.
Yu Wanwan ultimately did not leave.
The main problem is a lack of confidence.
Maybe we should wait for rescue.
That way, even if she runs away later, she won't be able to tell which way is which.
What if we wander into another country's territory?
Then we might as well just go back with Xiong Er and the others.
Xiong Er's leader suddenly became serious.
"Hurry up, everyone, Pei Yi and the others are probably catching up soon."
The people in the general's mansion will surely soon realize that there is something wrong underground.
Even if they dug several exits in the tunnel to mislead them, just to be on the safe side.
But there are many of them.
There will always be a group of people who come looking for you.
After he finished speaking, he suddenly picked Yu Wanwan up in his arms.
"Madam Pei, please forgive me."
The next second, Yu Wanwan had only one thought in her mind.
Damn it, you know you've offended them, why did you still do it?!
Ahhh! Wasn't this person so hungry they were just skin and bones? How can they still use light-footed skills?
Even while carrying such a large person, he still used his light-footed skills, and his speed didn't decrease at all.
This is completely unreasonable!!!
It took off unexpectedly.
He was still being carried around the waist in this position.
This time, Yu Wanwan really felt like throwing up.
She was so jostled around that she couldn't even utter a complete sentence.
"Ah ah ah ah ah……"
"Ah ah ah ah..."
All she could do was scream.
Luocheng.
"This...it's actually..."
The soldiers in the general's mansion were all incredulous.
“Look, these are our bread bags. They really did steal our food.”
"There are also mineral water bottles and milk cartons."
"They actually dug up the General's Mansion like this right under our noses?"
"And we didn't even notice."
Everyone in the general's mansion suddenly felt like they were utterly useless.
"Who are these people? How could they dig a secret chamber beneath our secret chamber? Who would have thought there could be another secret chamber beneath our secret chamber?"
The fourth prince, along with the crown prince and Xu Huai'an, stood aside and watched.
"Are these people rats? How can they burrow so well?"
"If they can dig the tunnels so deep and so wide, then they must know to dig even deeper. Maybe if they dig any deeper, they could even find water."
The fourth brother had watched videos of others digging deep wells with machines on Yu Wanwan's tablet beforehand.
Those people were in a very dry place, where the land was completely cracked, and they were using some very, very big machines to drill into the soil.
After drilling for a very long time, water actually started to emerge.
Pei Yi looked at the dense network of tunnels, his face grim.
But soon, he relaxed again.
"Send several teams to search in the directions of each exit, and send a few more people to follow me along the southeast exit."
After he finished speaking, he noticed that the fourth brother was leaning closer to him with a worried look on his face, wanting to go with him.
He patted the fourth son's head: "Don't worry, your grandmother will be fine."
If he wasn't mistaken, the person who kidnapped Yu Wanwan was probably one of his men.
