Wang Shiyu stopped fiddling with the charcoal and looked at her second uncle. Seeing that there was no one else behind him, she asked in confusion:

"Uncle, you guys encountered a tiger, but where's my dad? Why didn't he come back with us?"

She took the cloth beside her, wiped her hands, and looked curiously from behind her second uncle. Why didn't her father come back?

"Big brother hasn't walked back yet. The tiger is just staring at him. If he moves, the tiger will move forward. Big brother is afraid to move, so I hurried back to report the news."

Second uncle, do you want to hear what nonsense you are talking about? Wang Shiyu looked at Wang Yizhuo with a face full of question marks.

Wang Yizu's expression was a little strange, but the old man didn't notice it. However, the two children, Wang Shiyu and Zhou Qingyun, saw it, because Wang Yizu did not hide the changes on her face. It seemed that something else was tripping up her father, not the so-called tiger, and her second uncle's attitude made her feel a little strange.

It doesn't look like there's anything wrong with her father at all. You know, with their martial arts skills, they can easily kill one or two tigers. Why did he come back in such a strange way?

Wang Shiyu asked her mother and second aunt to look after the two children at home, and asked Wang Yizu to stay at home and not run around. She took the explosives and fire starters she had prepared, and divided five packs between her and the old man. She then quietly took out a crossbow and put it on the old man's hand. She also pulled out a very delicate and small dagger. The arrowhead was smeared with snake venom, which was the venom extracted from the poisonous snake she had killed before.

Wang Yizu watched his niece coating the arrow with venom, and he became hesitant to speak, but he did not say anything. Instead, he went back to the room and pretended not to see it.

Although he didn't know what his second uncle was up to, there seemed to be something wrong with his expression. Wang Yizu didn't notice the inquiring expression of Wang Shiyu behind him.

After leaving the house, the two men quickly armed themselves and walked towards the forest where his father was chopping wood. The old man didn't care what his son was fighting for, it was a mystery, since he dared to leave his brother in the woods, it was probably not a big problem.

Because the forest was not big, they had a relatively clear understanding of the situation inside. If they walked up from halfway up the mountain, people above would be able to see everything clearly, so the father and son did not even think about hiding their whereabouts. Instead, they walked up directly and openly.

Just when Wang Shiyu was still looking for her father all over the mountain, a chuckle suddenly came from beside her.

"How come there's only a little girl and an old man left in your Wang family? Can't even a capable person stand up?"

Wang Shiyu and the old man tightened their grip on the crossbow, and then he looked to his right. There was an old man in armor who seemed to know them.

"Wang Huan, after all these years, I wonder if you still recognize me?"

The old man looked at this person calmly for a while. He seemed to have some impression of this person, but he couldn't remember this person. He was a little confused. How did he know this person?

"I don't know who you are, and why did you kidnap my eldest son and bring me here?"

The old man looked around but didn't see his eldest son. He paused and looked at the old man sharply. Because he didn't find any murderous intent in him, he was still looking for his son and didn't fight with the old man directly.

Wang Shiyu didn't care whether the two of them were reminiscing about the past or knew each other. Instead, she kept looking for her father. She wanted to make sure that her father was okay before she was in the mood to chat with this person. The main reason was that this person didn't seem to have any hostility or murderous intent, as if he had deliberately let his second uncle come back to report the news.

"Little girl, there's no need to look for your father. He's still chopping wood over there. Nothing's wrong. Since I'm standing here, I naturally won't harm anyone in your family."

Wang Shiyu took a look at the man's face. He looked like a murderous man, but he was protected by righteousness. He seemed to be the kind of person who had seen blood and killed people. He was probably from the battlefield, otherwise no one could combine these two temperaments together, which even made Wang Shiyu a little tricky.

"Old man, please tell me why you kidnapped my father and asked my grandfather to come here? Or let me guess, you must be someone who came out of the palace, or... you must have a relationship with my grandfather's childhood.

You know my grandfather, you know his identity, and you know how to lure him out. You don't look like you're here to find that brat Zhou Qingyun. What else do you want? Tell me directly."

The man laughed out loud when he heard that, and looked at Wang Shiyu with some admiration. If Wang Shiyu wasn't a child, he would probably take this man directly to the battlefield. This was exactly what he wanted. He didn't say anything, but the child guessed something.

"You are indeed quite clever, little girl. I wonder if you know Zhou Shunyu, the King of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

To be honest, Wang Shiyu didn't know him, because she was a girl who was born in a small town and a small village and never left her home. How could she know anyone with the character "一字平漢王" or "二字平漢王"?

So she just cast her gaze at her grandfather who was standing beside her in a daze. Only her grandfather could answer this question.

"You are Prince Zhou. I wonder what on earth you are looking for me for? From what I know, you seem to be a neutral person and will not get involved in this mess of the succession struggle. Since you have come to see me, I wonder how I can help you."

While his granddaughter was interrupting this person, he seemed to understand that this person was actually looking for him, not Zhou Qingyun. He didn't believe that a little Zhou Qingyun would bother such a big prince to come and look for him in person.
