Chapter 22 Who Wants My Head?
Suddenly feeling empty in her arms, Xu Qingyi screamed in terror.
"Zhaozhao!"
She tried to rush forward, but the shackles on her feet tripped her, and she fell straight down into the crowd.
"Madam Yun!"
Bai Ling was terrified and quickly pulled her up.
The crowd was pushing and shoving wildly. Xu Qingyi tried to chase after them, but was blocked behind the crowd.
They could only watch helplessly as their child went away and disappeared.
"Zhaozhao!"
After the crowd dispersed, the ground was a mess.
The officer looked around with a dark expression; the prisoners were still there.
The only thing missing was little Yun Zhao.
"Sir, someone has taken my daughter! They went in that direction!"
Xu Qingyi knew that she was physically weak and had shackles on her legs, so she couldn't help at all. Therefore, she asked Luo Hao for help.
Luo Hao's face darkened as he began to suspect that everything that had just happened was done on purpose.
He looked Xu Qingyi up and down. Her face was covered in tears, her clothes were torn and messy, and there were bloody marks on the back of her hands.
A self-inflicted injury ruse?
"You two, take the man to the city gate and wait there. The rest of you, come with me!"
The five officers who went out immediately split into two groups.
Xu Qingshi anxiously stopped Luo Hao and asked, "Wait, what about our purchasing?"
"what you do!"
Xu Qingyi grabbed Xu Qingshi and roared in anger, never before so out of control.
Losing a prisoner is no small matter, especially since they brought people into the city without permission, and the missing person is the daughter of the main culprit.
Luo Hao kicked Xu Qingshi away violently, his expression fierce: "I'm telling you, if I find out you did this on purpose, not one of you will..."
Before he could finish speaking, Xu Qingyi interrupted him with a cry.
"Go after them!"
Luo Hao signaled for his men to take them away, while he led the remaining two officers to give chase.
Meanwhile, Yun Zhao remained quiet and didn't make a fuss, letting them carry him away.
"Brother, why did you suddenly go silent?"
"Could he be dead?"
The two men carrying Yun Zhao immediately panicked and found a corner to put her down.
But Yun Zhao blinked and looked at them curiously.
"you……"
So calm?
"Uncle, why are you arresting Zhaozhao? I'm an exiled prisoner. Arresting me will get you into big trouble!"
Yun Zhao remained calm and composed, even showing concern for the two of them.
"Kid, do you know you're going to die!"
"Everyone dies eventually, it's just a matter of time. But before you die, can you tell me why you arrested me?"
A child's eyes are clear and pure, as if they can see into a person's heart.
The man suddenly felt a pang of pity and turned his head away.
"Brother, you won't be too heartless to do it, will you?"
"Don't talk nonsense! We take money to solve problems for people; we're in the business of killing!"
However, they never harmed such young children.
"Uncle, since you wanted to kill me, why didn't you just stab me to death earlier?"
So Zhao Zhao can die in her mother's arms, waaaaah! Zhao Zhao misses her mother!
As Yun Zhao spoke, her lips trembled, and large tears slid down her chubby little face, making her look extremely pitiful.
The man in the lead suddenly thought of his daughter and felt as if the dagger in his hand was a hot potato.
"Brother, let me do it! When we bring her head back to report, we'll get a hundred taels of silver!"
Are we to bring her head back to report?
It seems we still need to find the person behind this, even if they are dead.
Yun Zhao took out a bottle of medicinal powder from her spatial storage, her small hand, hidden in her sleeve, clenched tightly.
"Little girl, I'm sorry, blame your father if you must!"
The young man raised his dagger, about to bring it down.
Suddenly, a dark figure darted out from the alley.
Yun Zhao was startled and immediately hid the medicine bottle back.
The next second, the dagger was kicked away and slammed hard against the wall.
"Who goes there!"
The two brothers immediately became alert.
However, the newcomer was extremely skilled in martial arts and kicked the two brothers away with a single kick.
Yun Zhao felt as if she were flying, and after a dizzying moment, she was picked up and carried!
When I came to my senses, I was already standing on someone else's courtyard wall!
Yun Zhao was startled and quickly grabbed the person's neck, afraid of falling off the courtyard wall.
After regaining her composure, her eyes widened: "Wow! Brother, you're so amazing!"
"They don't even spare such young children, it's utterly inhuman!"
Standing next to him was a man in his forties.
Their clothes weren't particularly nice; they were just clean, if not nice.
However, both of them were top-notch masters.
The assassin, lying on the ground, rubbed his chest and it took him a long time to get up.
"Gentlemen, we are only doing this for someone else, please don't make things difficult for us!"
"It is the duty of a martial artist to help those in need. You may leave now. I will not give you this child no matter what."
Yun Zhao tilted his head and looked at the uncle, his memories finally returning.
No wonder she felt this person looked familiar when she saw him in the crowd.
This is clearly the head of Tingyu Pavilion, known in the martial arts world as the Soul Chaser Blade, a master of the sword!
They had met a few times in their past lives, but they never expected to meet again so early in this life!
The boy holding him now must be the son of the Soul Chaser Blade, the archer Lu Xiao Gongzi, right?
"Dad, don't waste your breath on them. People who do business without any scruples are better off being killed outright!"
The moment the boy spoke, Yun Zhao's eyes widened in surprise.
Unexpectedly, this young master Lu is ruthless and doesn't talk much!
"Ah Li, don't talk nonsense, you might frighten the little child! Take her away first."
Uncle Lu glanced at Yun Zhao, then told his son to take his men away.
Yun Zhao snapped out of his daze and hurriedly shook his head.
"Zhao Zhao won't leave! They still haven't told me who wants to kill me!"
Upon hearing this, Young Master Lu looked at her with some surprise.
"Oh? Little brat, aren't you afraid? Staying here could lead to someone killing you~"
"Zhao Zhao is a big girl now. Zhao Zhao will protect her mother and younger brother. She's not afraid!"
Yun Zhao patted his chest, feigning strength.
Young Master Lu immediately became interested, picked her up, and leaped down the courtyard wall.
Uncle Lu suddenly had a headache.
"Ah Li!"
"Father, don't worry about them. These two are no match for me. I'm not afraid!"
He led Yun Zhao to the two people.
Uncle Lu's kick was really hard; the assassin tried to stand up but fell down twice.
Young Master Lu put Yun Zhao down. Yun Zhao only came up to his thigh, so he squatted down patiently.
He took a dagger from his waist and handed it to Yun Zhao.
"Little brat, don't you want to know why they wanted to kill you? Go ask them yourself."
Yun Zhao: ...
No, are you sick?
Give a dagger to a five-year-old girl and have her interrogate the killer?
Yun Zhao took the dagger, smiling and revealing his little tiger teeth, looking completely innocent.
"Then you must protect Zhaozhao well, brother!"
She turned around, and the innocence on her face vanished instantly. A strange, cold light flashed in her glass-like eyes!
Yun Zhao strode forward with her short legs, the dagger gleaming coldly in her hand.
A ruthless smile appeared on her cute little face.
"Uncle~ tell Zhaozhao, who exactly wants Zhaozhao's head?"
