After transmigrating into the body of a widow, I became the richest man in the capital.

Chapter 113 Advancing into Cuiwei Mountain

Qian Musheng also realized the seriousness of the problem. Logically speaking, Xiao Dengzi was very reliable. He had followed him for many years and had never messed up anything. He always saw things through to the end. So why had he disappeared this time?

Did something happen on the way? Logically speaking, they weren't carrying anything valuable, just a truckload of jam.

Were they robbed by bandits? Not necessarily. There's a mountain called Cuiwei Mountain near Baihua Village, where two brothers have been ruling as bandits.

Known as the Black and White Duo, they were notorious for robbing men and women, and for stealing money.

Women who were even slightly attractive would be captured and taken to the mountains to become the bandit chief's wives. Those who refused to submit were either beaten to death or thrown into the mountain streams to be fed to wild animals.

These two bandits from Cuiwei Mountain have caused a lot of trouble for the local people. As for why the government officials don't care, the main reason is that they need an excuse to send people to suppress them. They haven't committed any major crimes, so the government is too lazy to bother with such trivial matters.

Qian Musheng had known about the existence of this den of thieves for a long time. When he went to the capital to study, Cuiwei Mountain was still insignificant. How could it have become so arrogant now?

Qian Musheng said to Su Xiaoxiao, "Leave this to me. I'll take care of finding out."

As expected, Qian Musheng had a great network of connections. Within a few days, he found out that someone was selling jam in the market at an extremely low price.

When Su Xiaoxiao and the others went over, they found that the jam had already been sold out. The man looked very sleazy and had brought a whole truckload of jam to sell.

The carriage looked very familiar; it was the same carriage that Xiao Dengzi and the others had taken to the capital.

A jar of this jam normally costs fifty coins, but he sells it for twenty coins. Retail jams are even cheaper.

Others, unaware of what was happening, simply thought the jam was incredibly cheap and immediately came over and bought it all.

Qian Musheng realized the seriousness of the problem and hurriedly followed the person, only to find that the person eventually headed towards Cuiwei Mountain.

After Qian Mushi followed this person up the mountain, he learned that this person was a minor leader on the mountain.

After making inquiries from various sources, Qian Musheng learned that a group of people had been robbed on Cuiwei Mountain a few days ago, and that this was the group that had done it.

However, he has not yet found out any news about Xiaodengzi and Wang Er.

Ever since she learned that Wang Er might have been captured by bandits from Cuiwei Mountain, Sun Shi has been living in constant fear, and she has been distracted while working in the jam workshop.

Su Xiaoxiao understood her predicament, but she couldn't offer any advice to Sun Shi. Su Xiaoxiao herself was also anxious and didn't know what to do.

Qian Musheng promised Su Xiaoxiao that he would investigate the matter thoroughly. He planned to sneak up on Cuiwei Mountain at night to investigate in person.

Su Xiaoxiao wasn't worried about this. She knew Qian Musheng was skilled in martial arts, so she asked, "Are you afraid of encountering danger if you go up the mountain alone? Should we find you a helper?"

Qian Musheng looked at Su Xiaoxiao with a playful attitude, "To be honest, I really need a helper. Why don't you come and help me?"

Upon hearing this, Saburo quickly came over to stop them.

"Qian Musheng, what are you thinking? Sending Su Xiaoxiao on such a dangerous mission? That's Cuiwei Mountain, a place teeming with ruthless killers. Do you want Su Xiaoxiao to go up there and die?"

"Then will you come with me?"

Sanlang was speechless after Qian Musheng's retort, "Don't you have any other helpers?"

"I will go with you!"

Without hesitation, Su Xiaoxiao said to Sanlang, "You stay home and help me look after the jam workshop, as well as Dabao and Xiaobao. Nothing can happen to them, understand?"

"I..." Sanlang wanted to say something, but Su Xiaoxiao glared at him.

"Stop talking nonsense, okay? This is such a crucial time, just do as I say!"

Although Sanlang was unwilling, he had no choice but to obey Su Xiaoxiao's every word.

Even if it weren't for the jam, Su Xiaoxiao would still go to Cuiwei Mountain to save people for Wang Er.

Qian Musheng tidied himself up, put on his night clothes, and the two prepared to set off as dusk fell.

Before leaving, Qian Musheng explained to Su Xiaoxiao, "Going up Cuiwei Mountain this time will be quite troublesome. We are going to Black Wind Village, not outside the mountain, but inside the village. You should be prepared."

Su Xiaoxiao walked over and patted Qian Musheng on the shoulder, "Don't worry, I'm not someone to be trifled with."

Su Xiaoxiao was a secret agent in her previous life, and she had experienced far too many things like this.

Moreover, back then, it was all gunfire and bullets; one wrong move and you could be dead. The danger level was no less than it is now.

Cuiwei Mountain is nearly 15 kilometers away from here. After dark, Qian Musheng rode his Akhal-Teke horse with Su Xiaoxiao on the back and headed towards Cuiwei Mountain.

At the pace of Qian Musheng's precious horse, it took less than an hour to reach the foot of the mountain.

The area at the foot of the mountain was all barren wilderness, with dark, indistinct forests in the distance, which made Su Xiaoxiao quite scared.

This place is still quite scary, but here, Su Xiaoxiao felt at least a little more at ease, knowing she was about to come and rescue Wang Er.

Qian Musheng was surprised that his Akhal-Teke horse was quite sensible. Although he was carrying Su Xiaoxiao and there was another person riding on the horse's back, the horse did not reject Su Xiaoxiao or kick him.

It still looks like a BMW. Su Xiaoxiao was initially quite afraid of this Akhal-Teke horse. It looked very fierce, even a little scary. But it wasn't fierce at all, and it didn't even kick Su Xiaoxiao.

That's quite spiritual.

Sanlang watched as Qian Musheng lifted Su Xiaoxiao from the ground, grabbed her waist, and carried her onto the back of the Akhal-Teke horse.

The speed was extremely fast, less than a second, but Saburo's anger was already rising to his head.

Saburo was very angry; he had just been gritting his teeth here.

But then Su Xiaoxiao exclaimed, "Great skills!"

While she was clapping and cheering, Saburo felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

He can't say he's jealous, but he is a little bit, but who can understand his feelings?
Qian Musheng squeezed the horse's belly with both legs, and the Akhal-Teke horse galloped away from Sanlang like a whirlwind.

Sanlang sighed from behind, "I hope you can rescue the person from Cuiwei Mountain soon!"

Although it was dark, some villagers saw it and said that Su Xiaoxiao was being carried by a young man on a tall horse as they passed by the village entrance.

The two appeared to be very close, with the man's arm around Su Xiaoxiao's waist.

The news quickly reached Granny Liu's ears, and she became restless again.
