The Challenge of a Farmhouse Son-in-Law-Chapter 1022 - 1017: The Old Lover Invites You for Tea

"Captured?" Gu Youyou supported her head with one hand, quickly looking out the window of the carriage.

This was their carriage, but the people outside were not the familiar guards on horseback; instead, they were horseback riders clad in black.

Thus, they were indeed captured.

Gu Youyou’s expression suddenly darkened as she said, "Did you drug me? What exactly is going on?"

That teammate, drugging her at such a critical moment.

"I wanted to replace you, so I drugged you," Searcy said indifferently, looking quite weak. "Don’t worry, aside from us two, everyone else is fine. Oh, only five of the guards that Jin Zijin gave you are alive. They are severely injured too. Your idea was right. Knowing it was futile, it was better to reduce the casualties. Fortunately, these people didn’t intend to kill us, just to capture us."

The aftereffects of the drug were strong, and Gu Youyou’s head still hurt. The dizziness and the shaking of the carriage made her head spin even more.

She leaned back in the carriage and said, "Let’s take it step by step, could it be worse than Yu Jizi’s madness? After all, I have died twice before and am slowly getting used to it. It doesn’t feel so terrifying."

"What are you thinking about?" Searcy looked at Gu Youyou in surprise and said, "They haven’t said they want to kill us. Maybe it’s an old lover of yours inviting us for tea." ƒгeewёbnovel.com

"Shut up!" Gu Youyou angrily sat up and said, "You have no filter. I really want to sew your mouth shut."

Even if this journey was heading towards death, it wouldn’t be lonely with Searcy’s sharp tongue to argue with now and then.

The carriage traveled for five days and stopped in front of a mountain.

Gu Youyou had been observing the terrain. The area was mainly plains, making the protruding mountain seem particularly abrupt.

If she guessed correctly, she should still be in the north.

This wasn’t hard to deduce. Once she got off the carriage in a while and observed the vegetation, she would know.

Different areas have different habitual vegetation.

"Miss Gu, please," someone said respectfully as they lifted the curtain for Gu Youyou.

These men in black all had their faces covered, and Gu Youyou didn’t know who he was.

The two weak women had no choice but to follow them out of the carriage.

Outside, the situation inside the mountain was not visible. After entering, they discovered that the mountain concealed many stockades, and the terrain was easy to defend but hard to attack. Even if they were bandits, they were big-time bandits.

Wait, bandits?

That suddenly reminded her of Jin Ziyuan.

According to Qin Changlin, he should be living in seclusion as a doctor in Qingshui Town. Could these bandits be related to him?

Don’t let Searcy’s glib talk turn out to be true, encountering an old lover.

Ugh, no!

She was being influenced by Searcy’s nonsense.

"This way, please!" They were led into a cave which, like the rest, was very concealed.

Both Gu Youyou and Searcy had excellent memories. By walking this way, they had already figured out much about this stronghold.

The cave was somewhat dim, but it did not affect Gu Youyou’s vision; she immediately spotted the man standing in the cave.

She had seen this man only once, but she recognized him.

He was Ziyuan’s associate, You Jiang.

Searcy had guessed right.

"Miss Gu," You Jiang greeted her with a smile.

"Miss Gu, it’s been a long time. I have boldly invited Miss Gu to be my guest. You wouldn’t be upset, would you?"

Gu Youyou replied with a smile that was not quite a smile, "Being ’invited’ in such a manner does indeed make one displeased."
