The Lucky Heiress

Chapter 585: Chapter 585 – Second Brother Has Already Gone to Save Someone_1

“What happened, tell me slowly.”

It was the first time Wei Ruo had seen Xiumei in such a state of panic.

“Brother Xiaoyong… Brother Xiaoyong is in trouble…”

“What happened?” Wei Ruo asked anxiously.

“He was… captured by the enemy…” Xiumei’s face was pale, and she was completely flustered, “Miss, what should we do? What should we do?”

Wei Ruo stood in place, her face also instantly draining of color.

They knew the day Xiaoyong joined the army that there might be such a day, but when the day really came, Wei Ruo was as scared and anxious as Xiumei.

Wei Ruo tried hard to calm herself down.

Being captured didn’t necessarily mean death, especially since Xiaoyong was a military officer, he would be seen as valuable by the enemy.

Regardless of whether he was alive now, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, they had to act quickly and find a way to rescue him.

But how to rescue a captive from the enemy’s hands, Wei Ruo had no idea.

This was beyond her capability.

After thinking, Wei Ruo walked quickly towards the door.

Arriving at Yingzhu Yuan, Wei Ruo knocked on the door.

But no one answered, so Wei Ruo pushed the door and went in.

“Second brother, second brother…”

Wei Ruo hastily walked towards Wei Jinyi’s bedroom.

But there was no one in the room, she didn’t know where Wei Jinyi had gone.

Just then, Lin Fang, heavily pregnant, came in from outside.

“Miss, the master went out.”

“Why are you here? You’re about to give birth, you should stop moving around.”

“I’m fine.” Lin Fang explained to Wei Ruo, “The master told me to take care of you before he left.”

“Where did second brother go?” Wei Ruo asked.

“The master went to rescue someone.” Lin Fang said.

“Second brother… is he going to rescue Brother Xiaoyong?” Wei Ruo asked.

Lin Fang nodded, “The master received the news this morning, he set off not long after getting the news.”

Wei Ruo was stunned.

Second brother had set off directly to rescue him?

But Brother Xiaoyong was captured and taken to the Jurchen Tribe, how could he rescue him?

“How is he going to rescue him? Even if he took all the guards from the residence, there would only be about a hundred people, how can they contend with the tens of thousands of Jurchen troops?”

“The master said to reassure you, he will bring back Xiaoyong safely for you, you just wait patiently for news in the residence.” Lin Fang said.

Wei Ruo shook her head: “He deliberately did not let me know and sneaked away. He must know that this matter is very risky.”

Hearing this, Lin Fang did not know how to respond, because she knew that what Wei Ruo was saying was the truth, the master’s journey was extremely dangerous.

Wei Ruo thought for a moment and then decided, “I’m going to the border.”

“Miss, no, the master said to wait for his news in the residence.” Lin Fang hurriedly tried to dissuade.

“He’s going to rescue for me, how can I wait in the residence? At the very least, I must wait at the border.” Wei Ruo insisted.

She wouldn’t be a nuisance, but she at least wanted to be in a place closer to them.

She was a doctor, and if anything happened, she could lend a hand!

“Miss, you can’t go.” Yun Zixiu also walked in, standing in front of Wei Ruo.

“Are you going to stop me?” Wei Ruo asked. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

“Even if the Miss is angry, I have to stop you. This is the master’s command, I have to obey.”

Wei Ruo stepped forward, pulling out the sword from the guard who came with Yun Zixiu.

Wei Ruo pointed the sword at Yun Zixiu’s throat.

Yun Zixiu did not flinch: “Even if the Miss kills me, I will not let you leave the residence.”

The sword was just a few millimeters away from Yun Zixiu’s throat, but he didn’t move, not even blinking.

Wei Ruo twisted her wrist and placed the sword against her own neck.

“What if I threaten you with my own life?” Wei Ruo asked.

“Miss!”

Yun Zixiu and Lin Fang nervously tried to come forward.

“Don’t move.” Wei Ruo commanded, “Take me, otherwise I’ll hurt myself.”

Yun Zixiu quickly said, “Miss, please put down the sword first. A sword has no eyes, don’t hurt yourself! If you get hurt, we won’t be able to explain it to the master when he comes back.”

“You arrange for a carriage now and take me to the border.” Wei Ruo demanded.

Yun Zixiu said, “I can take Miss there, but Miss, you have to promise me first, you won’t cross the border, just wait in the town.”

“Even if I cross the border, I can’t do anything. If I’m in danger again, I’ll only slow down my second brother. I won’t do that. Don’t worry, I won’t slow down my second brother. I won’t run around the border, I just want to be in a somewhat closer place. I am a doctor, and if he needs me when he gets injured, I hope to be there on time.” said Wei Ruo.

Yun Zixiu compromised: “Ok, I understand. I will arrange it now and gather the remaining guards in the residence to escort you.”

Wei Ruo, who had received the promise, sheathed her sword, and Yun Zixiu went to make the arrangements.

Lin Fang glanced down at her belly and blamed herself, “Damn, I’m pregnant at this time, or I could help a little bit too!”

“Don’t worry, Sister Lin, you don’t need to blame yourself. But isn’t it me, didn’t Brother Ke go with my second brother when he left? Brother Ke should be with you at this time.”

“It’s his duty. The master didn’t want to take him. He insisted on going. Even if he didn’t go, I would have asked him to. We are sworn to follow the master. We must never fall behind at this time.”

Upon hearing this, Wei Ruo was deeply moved, and then said, “You rest at home and take good care of the baby, don’t let this matter affect you and the child.”

After explaining to Lin Fang, Wei Ruo returned to her room to prepare things.

An hour later, Yun Zixiu prepared everything and set off for the border.

All the way, Wei Ruo was extremely disturbed.

Ever since her transmigration, it was her first time experiencing this.

Whether it was Brother Xiaoyong or Second Brother, any slight mishap to either of them would bring consequences that she can’t bear.

The border town where Ji Liao intersects with the Jurchen tribe is called Ji Town. This place was even more desolate than where King Rui’s Residence is located. There were no decent commercial streets in the town or any inns. The only place for Wei Ruo to stay was the post station.

In comparison to other post stations, this one was also rudimentary.

Wei Ruo and her group stayed here that night,

To move around more conveniently, Wei Ruo had specially dressed in men’s clothing.

After checking in, Wei Ruo called in the station master to ask about the situation.

The station master was a man in his fifties with gray hair and not very robust.

He told Wei Ruo that early this morning they had seen a group from King Rui’s Residence.

It was the guard team from the King Rui’s Residence, and King Rui himself was not present.

Wei Ruo had expected this. Wei Jinyi would not come here as King Rui himself. He must have disguised himself as Wang Jin to act.

Wei Ruo also asked the station master, “Can you cross the border these days?”
