Chapter 195: The Rescue Plan

This group of men in black kidnapped Long Er and arrived at a ruined temple; after confirming it was safe, the group finally removed their masks.

Several men in black fetched rope and tied Long Er up tightly.

Seeing that Long Er was already tied up, one man in black fetched water and poured it over Long Er's head, and Long Er slowly woke up.

Looking at the men in black who had kidnapped him, Long Er shouted angrily:

"Who on earth are you?

Aren't you afraid that my father will find you and tear you into ten thousand pieces?"

The leader of the men in black touched his toothbrush mustache and laughed:

"Why wouldn't I be afraid?

That is why we had to find you, to coerce your father.

We have already planted explosives on Qingfeng Mountain; tomorrow, I will make sure Duan Fengyun never returns."

Long Er had never seen people from Dongying, so he did not know what the toothbrush mustache represented.

After hearing the words of this man in black, he struggled in place while shouting:

"Let me go!

If this young master gets free, I will definitely tear you into ten thousand pieces."

The group of men in black walked straight away, ignoring Long Er.

But it was not because Long Er was young that they were not torturing him.

It was just because they had not eaten yet, and they wanted to eat and have the strength before slowly torturing Long Er.

Meanwhile, on the Dragon Gate side, not long after Long Er left Dragon Gate, Duan Fengyun woke up.

After lying comfortably on the bed for a while, Duan Fengyun got up, put on his clothes, and walked to Long Er's room nearby.

"Bang, bang, bang!

Long Er, get up; the sun is about to shine on your butt."

Seeing that there was no one in the courtyard, Duan Fengyun thought Long Er was still sleeping, so he knocked on Long Er's door.

But after knocking a few times, there was no answering sound from inside.

Duan Fengyun pushed open the door to look, and there were only the sweaty clothes Long Er had thrown on the ground; the person was long gone.

"It seems this fellow Long Er must have gotten up quite early this morning.

Where did this fellow run off to so early in the morning!"

Duan Fengyun muttered to himself.

However, Duan Fengyun was not worried about Long Er's safety; he walked straight toward the Yishitang.

Today, he still had to discuss with Nie Feng and the others how Dragon Gate should expand next.

When he arrived at the Yishitang, he discovered that the three brothers, Nie Feng and the others, and Wen Chou Chou were already sitting in the Yishitang waiting for him to arrive.

Qin Shuang teased:

"Lord Sect Leader, on this first day after the establishment of Dragon Gate, you being this lazy won't do.

You must rise at the first light of dawn and work your heart out for the development of Dragon Gate."

Duan Fengyun rolled his eyes and said:

"Shuang, if you want me to die young, then I can do as you say.

It's just that by then, you won't have such a handsome and dashing little junior brother as me."

Nie Feng and the others laughed out loud, while Wen Chou Chou tried hard to suppress the laughter in his heart.

Looking at Wen Chou Chou, who was keeping a straight face and suffering immensely, Duan Fengyun laughed:

"Chouchou, if you want to laugh, then laugh; we are all our own people, don't be so formal.

A smile keeps you young.

It's nothing, go ahead and laugh."

"Hahahaha!"

After Duan Fengyun finished speaking, Wen Chou Chou finally burst into hearty laughter.

Just as the five of them were teasing each other in the Yishitang, a signal arrow suddenly shot into a pillar in front of the Dragon Gate Mountain Gate.

The guard disciples at the Mountain Gate took down the signal arrow and looked around, but did not see anyone.

A letter was wrapped around the signal arrow, and the Mountain Gate disciples felt this letter was not simple, so they did not dare to take it upon themselves to open it.

"You all keep watch here, I will go find the Sect Leader and the others."

After handing over his duties, this disciple took the signal arrow and hurried toward the Yishitang.

Because Wen Chou Chou had instructed everyone that no matter what happened, they should go to the Yishitang to find the Sect Leader.

The Sect Leader, the Hall Masters, and he would handle the sect's affairs in the Yishitang every day.

"Sect Leader, a Mountain Gate disciple has something to find you for."

Just as Duan Fengyun was about to conspire on the plan with the others, he was interrupted by the voice of a disciple outside the Yishitang.

"Let him in!"

Duan Fengyun replied.

Soon, this Mountain Gate disciple holding the signal arrow walked in.

"Greetings, Sect Leader!

Greetings, three Hall Masters!

Greetings, Manager Wen!"

Duan Fengyun waved his hand and said:

"Get up, what is the matter that you come to see me in such a panic?"

The Mountain Gate disciple took out a signal arrow, presented it to Duan Fengyun, and said:

"Leader, someone just shot a signal arrow over with a letter wrapped around it.

I did not dare to act on my own and open the letter, so I specifically brought the signal arrow to you, Leader, for your inspection."

After hearing this, Duan Fengyun took the letter and began to read:

"Duan Fengyun, if you want your precious son's life, come to Qingfeng Mountain at noon tomorrow.

You must come alone, or else be careful that your son's life will not be spared."

After reading it, Duan Fengyun looked furious.

"Junior Brother Duan, what is it!"

Nie Feng asked.

Duan Fengyun passed the letter to Nie Feng and said:

"Long Er has been captured, and the other party wants me to go to Qingfeng Mountain alone at noon tomorrow to meet them."

"How preposterous! Who is so tired of living that they dare to kidnap Long Er? If I find out who it is, I will definitely tear them into ten thousand pieces.

Do you think it could be Heaven Gate, acting out of shame and anger because of yesterday's Mountain Opening Ceremony, and thus kidnapping Long Er?"

Bu Jingyun cursed loudly, then stated his own guess.

Duan Fengyun shook his head and replied:

"I don't think so. If it were Heaven Gate, there would be no need to capture Long Er.

If they had done it, they would certainly have left their name. This group of people is acting sneakily; one look and you know it is not Heaven Gate."

Nie Feng and Qin Shuang also nodded and said:

"We also believe it is likely not the work of Heaven Gate. It seems that someone else with ill intentions is behind this."

Duan Fengyun looked at the Mountain Gate disciple and asked:

"How long ago did Young Master Long Er go out?"

Upon hearing that Long Er had been captured, the Mountain Gate disciple, fearing Duan Fengyun's blame, knelt on the ground trembling and replied:

"Reporting to the Leader, Young Master Long Er went out an hour and a half ago.

At that time, we suggested sending two people to accompany him, but Young Master Long Er refused.

Leader, we truly did not know Young Master Long Er would be captured. Please punish us, Leader."

Duan Fengyun waved his hand and said:

"Get up. I have no intention of blaming you.

If even Long Er's skills were not enough to prevent him from being captured, you accompanying him would have been the same, only adding to the casualties.

Go down and keep a good watch on the Mountain Gate."

Upon hearing Duan Fengyun's words, the Mountain Gate disciple felt as if he had been granted amnesty and hurriedly exited the Yishitang.

"Leader, what do you plan to do?

Are you really going to go to that Qingfeng Mountain alone at noon tomorrow to meet them?

The enemy is in the dark while we are in the light; you must watch out for your safety, Leader."

Wen Chou Chou said with concern.

"I haven't decided yet!

Senior Brother Shuang, Senior Brother Yun, Senior Brother Feng, let's go out for a trip and see where Long Er was captured.

Then we can see if there are any witnesses or any traces of fighting left behind."

Duan Fengyun said; he prepared to go find the scene of the incident to see if he could deduce who the other party was based on the signs of the struggle.

After giving clear instructions on sect affairs to Wen Chou Chou, Duan Fengyun took Nie Feng and the others and walked out of Dragon Gate.

Duan Fengyun stood in front of Dragon Gate, carefully observing the surroundings to see if there were any lookouts or the like.

The black-clad sentry point in front of Dragon Gate had withdrawn after capturing Long Er, so Duan Fengyun was destined to find nothing.

The four senior and junior brothers arrived at the small path where Long Er had been captured.

The four of them saw the signs of the fight at a glance. Duan Fengyun looked at the cut on a tree nearby and said:

"It was caused by the Sword Qi of Sword Twenty-Two. It seems this must be the place where Long Er fought."

Immediately, the four of them carefully observed and compared the signs of the fight.

Nie Feng shook his head and said:

"There were many people fighting Long Er; he must have been surrounded. The martial arts of this group are chaotic and disorganized; I cannot tell which sect or faction their moves belong to."

Duan Fengyun also nodded:

"Indeed, I cannot tell either.

Long Er's skills are quite good now, but he lacks real combat experience. Most importantly, he has never killed anyone, which makes him not decisive enough when he strikes.

If Long Er had been more decisive in his strikes, these people might not have been his match."

After observing, Duan Fengyun determined that the skills of this group who kidnapped Long Er were not very high.

Duan Fengyun was now also very puzzled as to exactly who had kidnapped Long Er.

Carrying his doubts, Duan Fengyun took Nie Feng and the others and hurried toward the market.

From the Jianghu Wine Manor and the yamen runners, they learned that Long Er had visited both places.

It seems Long Er must have been intercepted on his way back and then captured.

After determining the ins and outs of the matter, the four returned to Dragon Gate.

In front of the Mountain Gate, Duan Fengyun looked at the surrounding bushes and trees and said to the Mountain Gate disciples:

"Issue an order to pull up all the surrounding bushes and trees by the roots. We must ensure our field of vision can cover these surroundings."

Duan Fengyun was now sufficiently convinced that this group of people who kidnapped Long Er must have been secretly monitoring Dragon Gate; otherwise, it would have been impossible for them to be so prepared to capture Long Er when he was acting alone.

It seems this group of people had planned this long ago.

Duan Fengyun and the other three returned to Yishitang to discuss the plan for tomorrow.

Qin Shuang said:

"Junior Brother Duan, you aren't really going to go to the meeting alone tomorrow, are you?

These people have unknown origins, and I am worried they will resort to trickery."

Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun also chimed in:

"That's right, Junior Brother Duan, we cannot let you go by yourself."

Duan Fengyun laughed:

"Rest assured, I cherish my life very much; I won't do anything foolish on my own."

"Then Junior Brother Duan, what is your plan?"

Qin Shuang asked.

Duan Fengyun thought for a moment and then revealed the plan in his heart:

"Too many people mean too many eyes, and besides, there is no real practical significance in others going.

I think it should be enough for the four of us to go.

Feng is agile, so Feng and I will go up the mountain together and hide.

Shuang, Yun, you two will be responsible for checking the environment of Qingfeng Mountain; I am worried this group of people will play tricks.

Finally, I may have to inconvenience you; you might need to set off in the middle of the night. If you wait until tomorrow at daybreak, I fear you will expose your tracks."

Bu Jingyun spoke up:

"We are all our own people; what kind of inconvenience is this!

The most important thing is to rescue Long Er and cut these masterminds behind the scenes into a thousand pieces.

I don't know how that little fellow Long Er is doing."

After hearing this, the other three also muttered:

"That's right, I don't know how Long Er is doing.

If this group of people dares to harm Long Er, I will definitely make them pay back tenfold."

The four of them were all doting child-maniacs, so right now they wished they could cut the people who kidnapped Long Er into a thousand pieces.
