Chapter 194 Rescuing a Mother and Daughter
After Leng Mei received the order from her prince, she put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hands without saying a word, quickly stood up and summoned two personal guards to rush into the woods together.
As time passed, the sounds of fierce fighting and the clashing of swords could be heard from the woods.
Jiang Yimo and Feng Wuhen were standing beside the stream at this time. They had been listening there for a long time, but the sound of fighting in the grove had not yet stopped.
Everyone couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Jiang Yimo couldn't help but suggest to Feng Wuhen, "Your Majesty, do you think we should go to the forest to find out what's going on?"
Feng Wuhen frowned slightly and fell into a brief contemplation. Then he shook his head and said, "Be patient and wait for a while. Try not to alarm the people in the Hundred Ghosts Organization."
However, after waiting for a while, the woods were still noisy and the fighting seemed to be getting more intense.
At this time, Feng Wuhen spoke first, "Momo, let's go in and take a look."
Jiang Yimo nodded slightly after hearing this, and quickly put the pots, bowls, and earthenware jars that had just been used for the meal into her space. She quickened her pace and walked into the woods holding a long sword.
After wandering in the dense forest for a while, they found the scene of the incident.
From afar they saw a group of people in black surrounding Leng Mei and several others, and a fierce fight was started between them.
Leng Mei and her three companions were trying their best to protect the two women behind them, not daring to slack off in the slightest.
Jiang Yimo stood in the distance, looking at the two women carefully.
The first thing she noticed was the clothes they were wearing - they were all plain and simple linen clothes, not only were they rough in texture, but they even had a few eye-catching patches on them.
One of the women has her hair in a bun, while the other is dressed as an unmarried girl. Judging from these details, the two should be ordinary women from nearby villages.
However, Feng Wuhen beside her told her the identities of the two women in shock.
"Why are they here?" Feng Wuhen said in surprise.
"What's wrong, Your Highness? Do you know these two women?" Jiang Yimo was a little curious after hearing what he said.
After saying this, Feng Wuhen frowned slightly, stared at the two women not far ahead, and replied thoughtfully: "I have seen them twice!"
Hearing this, Jiang Yimo suddenly felt a strong curiosity in her heart.
She blinked her eyes, gently tugged at Feng Wuhen's sleeve, and asked anxiously, "Oh? The prince has actually seen them twice? Who are they?"
The prince smiled slightly and said calmly, "They are the sister-in-law and niece of the queen's family."
After hearing this, Jiang Yimo showed a hint of surprise on her face, but she was more confused.
She murmured to herself, "People from the Shen family...then why are they here?" She seemed to be trying hard to figure out the reason.
Feng Wuhen shook his head. "I don't know the specific situation. Let's rescue them first and then ask them. Momo, you hide here and don't run around. We will go out and deal with them, then you can come out."
As soon as Feng Wuhen finished speaking, he gave a look to the two young guards beside him, and then the three of them flew out like arrows and quickly started a fierce battle with the men in black.
After Leng Mei and the other three received support from Feng Wuhen and his companions, they became more powerful and their fighting strength increased greatly.
Before long, the group of men in black were defeated by the fierce attack of the six of them and fell to the ground and died one after another. In the end, the mother and daughter who were in danger were successfully rescued and were safe and sound.
Jiang Yimo saw that the men in black outside the house had been killed by Feng Wuhen and his men, and the worry in her heart finally fell to the ground. So, she stood up from the bushes without hesitation.
The mother and daughter who had escaped death immediately recognized that the person who saved them was the Evil King. They were so excited that they could hardly control themselves. They immediately fell to their knees and kowtowed to the Evil King to express their gratitude. "If we hadn't been fortunate enough to meet His Majesty the Evil King and rescue us today, I'm afraid that my mother and I would have already died and buried in this dense forest without anyone knowing."
But the Evil King simply glanced at the mother and daughter kneeling on the ground, as if they were insignificant existence, and even deliberately kept a distance from them.
However, his eyes were always fixed on the woman in men's clothing, Jiang Yimo, who was walking slowly towards him in the distance.
"Everyone, get up." The evil king's voice was calm and indifferent, as if he didn't care about what was happening in front of him. "I just happened to pass by here and saved you. But I'm a little curious, why are you here?"
Madam Shen's face was still as pale as paper when she heard this, but she still forced herself to cheer up. After taking a deep breath, she sighed with fear and trepidation on her face, "In reply to your words, my wife and I originally wanted to go to the Baiyun Temple outside the imperial city to burn incense and pray for blessings."
"Who would have thought that we would be robbed halfway through the journey. Those villains were so cruel that they not only brutally killed the servants who accompanied us, but also robbed us of our belongings and knocked us unconscious and took us into a huge cave."
"When I woke up, I found that my daughter and I had been dressed in coarse clothes, dressed as country women. At the same time, there were several other women who were abducted into the cave with us. They all looked pretty good... In addition, the thief did not allow us to eat or drink..."
"My mother and I took advantage of the time when those criminals were looking for other women to have fun, and we ran away desperately. I didn't expect that we were found by them after hiding in the woods for a whole day. Fortunately, Lord Leng Mei, who was beside the prince, showed up in time and rescued us, otherwise, my mother and I would have suffered a miserable fate."
By the end of her speech, Mrs. Shen was sobbing and her body was shaking slightly from excessive fear.
Even Miss Shen, who was kneeling beside her, was crying so hard that she was almost on the verge of collapse. One of Miss Shen's hands kept pulling at her mother's clothes, as if hinting at something to her mother.
However, Mrs. Shen still recounted the entire process of how she and her daughter were captured in detail, but she would never mention the fact that they had been tortured by the criminals, even if it meant their death.
However, Jiang Yimo only took a glance at the mental state of the mother and daughter at the moment, and she knew that they might have been subjected to inhuman abuse when they were abducted by the criminals.
Because the faces of both mother and daughter were swollen, and their necks and faces were covered with bruises, as if they had been beaten severely.
However, for the sake of their own reputation, the mother and daughter had to keep it a secret and swallow their bitterness. Especially Miss Shen, if an unmarried girl was raped, it would be a tragic event in ancient times.
