Chapter 867 Rescue the Key Person's Daughter
"Just eat something! It's useless if you don't eat or drink, and you can't leave anyway, so you might as well eat your fill before making plans!"
No one in the room answered, and Jiang Youzhen didn't dare to peek for fear of being discovered.
"Eat something! If you don't eat, I will be punished! And your life won't be easy either. They will find someone else to take care of you, and it won't be so easy to talk to them then!" The old woman continued to persuade.
"After I eat it, will they stop making things difficult for you? When will they let me go? Why are they keeping me under house arrest?" The woman's gentle voice sounded.
"I don't know about that. I only know that I was sent here to take care of the girl. I don't care about other things. It's not something I can ask about." The old woman's voice turned cold.
"I still have a ring on me. It's my last valuable thing. Please help me! I don't need your help in anything. Just find out if my father is still in the mine, okay?"
"Young lady, please eat quickly! I will take my leave now!"
Soon, footsteps were heard, and Jiang Youzhen immediately hid in the dark. He watched the woman carry the empty tray, lock the door, and leave quickly.
Jiang Youzhen waited for a while and found that no one came, so he went forward and took the big lock to look at it.
[System-issued mission: Rescue the key figure's daughter Chen Yumian and help find the whereabouts of her father.]
Key person? In what respect? Could it be related to this border mission? Jiang Youzhen had no time to ask more questions about the system's sudden revelation.
Someone might come at any time, so she could only go in quickly and find out.
I looked up and found that there was no place to go in. The window could not be opened and the door was locked. There was another floor above, so there was no point in lying on the roof.
With a try-it attitude, Jiang Youzhen searched in the system mall and finally found a master key that could open this kind of big copper lock.
Huh? The system mall is quite powerful. I didn't expect there is such a thing. Fortunately, it's not expensive, only 10 attribute points are needed.
Jiang Youzhen quickly used the master key to open the lock and closed the door as soon as he entered.
After taking a quick look around, the room was a little dark, but Jiang Youzhen still saw the woman sitting in a corner with her arms tightly folded.
The woman was wearing a thorny cloth skirt, but it still couldn't hide her pretty figure. However, Jiang Youzhen saw her fair and delicate skin and thought she was not a laborer. Maybe she was in disguise like her.
The food in front of her was still untouched. When she heard the door open, she looked towards Jiang Youzhen like a frightened rabbit.
When she saw that it was not the old woman, she shrank back toward the pillar like a frightened bird.
"Who are you? Were you sent by Lord Zheng?" The woman's voice trembled slightly.
"System, you didn't tell me anything, and I don't know her identity!"
Jiang Youzhen had a headache. She didn't know the identity of this woman yet. She couldn't reveal her identity right away, right? Who knew if it was a conspiracy?
[The system is not convenient to remind you! Please discover it yourself! I can only remind the host that this woman is an important person. ]
System, you have learned bad things!
Well! I'd better find a way myself! Thinking of the name the system had given this woman just now, I opened my mouth to test it.
"Why is Miss Chen imprisoned here? I'm here to rescue you!"
Jiang Youzhen's words surprised the girl. She looked at Jiang Youzhen carefully, but unfortunately the room was too dim, so she could only tell that he was a young man.
"Who are you? How do you know my last name is Chen?" Chen Yumian immediately thought of her father, but she had just arrived here and was cheated, so she had to be cautious.
"Chen Yumian, is that your maiden name? Let's make it short. I'm an acquaintance of your father. I just sneaked in to take you away. Follow me! Someone will be here soon."
Jiang Youzhen remembered that the girl had just told the old woman that she wanted to save her father, so he had to pretend to be her.
"Father asked you to save me? So is father out of danger?" However, Chen Yumian did not show any surprise. Instead, she still looked at Jiang Youzhen with suspicion.
"Do you have any token from your father?" she suddenly asked.
As soon as Jiang Youzhen heard this, he knew he was exposed. This girl is not stupid.
"No, it's an emergency! Come with me first. It's very dangerous here. I will tell you my identity after we get out." Jiang Youzhen was not sure whether the girl was okay, so he still chose to conceal his identity.
"I won't go out. You are definitely not sent by my father to save me. If it is true, you will definitely give me a token. This is what we agreed on. I will not go with you!
You were not sent by those people to deliberately lure me, were you? Do you want to find General Dingyuan? It's useless for you to capture me, because my father and I have no way of knowing his whereabouts. "
Jiang Youzhen was a little surprised when she heard about General Dingyuan. A gleam of light flashed in her eyes. She was worried that things could not be carried out. It was really hard to find the one who had been looking for it! No wonder the system said that this woman was a key figure.
She immediately took something out of her arms and handed it to the woman, "Look, what is this?"
Chen Yumian looked over and found it was a token. This token was shining with golden light. She looked carefully and saw the words "Gold Medal Granted by Emperor Chengming" were written on it, and there were dragon patterns engraved on both sides.
Even though Chen Yumian didn't have much knowledge, she knew what it was.
"I am an imperial envoy sent by the court to investigate a case. The emperor ordered me to come to the border secretly to investigate the disappearance of General Dingyuan. What do you know? Can you tell me?"
Jiang Youzhen put the gold medal into his arms as he spoke, and then stood in front of Chen Yumian.
Chen Yumian still couldn't believe it, "Are you really the imperial envoy?"
"Do you think anyone dares to forge a gold medal? Impersonating an imperial envoy is a capital crime!" Jiang Youzhen shouted coldly.
After hearing what Jiang Youzhen said, Chen Yumian couldn't help but burst into tears.
"If the imperial court really sends people, can my father be saved? In order to save my father, I was deceived and has been locked up here." Chen Yumian stepped forward and tried to grab Jiang Youzhen's sleeve.
Jiang Youzhen retreated quickly, but it was just a conditioned reflex. After realizing that the other party posed no threat, he whispered to comfort him.
"Miss Chen, don't worry! The court will definitely investigate thoroughly. Come with me now. Let's find a safe place and then tell me what happened."
In fact, Jiang Youzhen's original intention was to let the girl stay here. She just thought about it and since the girl said her father was also here, if she slipped away, those people would definitely move her father away, and that would alert the enemy.
Just leaving a girl here seemed a bit heartless. And a name just flashed through her mind, and she felt that this girl might be related to him, and Jiang Youzhen had to find her father.
"I can't leave. I haven't seen my father yet!" Chen Yumian shook her head and stopped sobbing.
"Where did they hold your father captive?" Jiang Youzhen could only ask.
