Chapter 24 Is he a bear?!
"What are you doing! Are you trying to rebel?!"
Luo Qing picked up the whip and lashed it out, striking Xu Yiyuan's calf once again.
"Ouch!"
"My husband!"
"What are you doing? It's clearly Xu Qingyi who's causing trouble, why are you hitting my brother?"
You took fifty coins, but you won't let us buy anything. Either return the money, or let us go and buy something else!
Xu Qingshi stepped forward to help her brother up, and said somewhat angrily.
"Get out of here! Once we find that little girl, we'll take you shopping again. Now, everyone get back to your homes! Anyone who dares to cause trouble again, don't blame the whip for being merciless!"
Luo Qing felt incredibly unlucky. This wasn't the first time he had taken people to town to buy things on his own, but to think that someone would dare to rob an exiled prisoner was truly something he had never seen before!
Seeing how anxious the Xu family was, it didn't seem like the people they had arranged themselves.
But the more this was the case, the less likely he was to let them out.
If two more run away, he'll really be in deep trouble!
Xu Yifei was already short-tempered. With his niece being kidnapped, his sister crying incessantly, and his two younger siblings arguing, he could no longer control his temper.
He shoved away the officer who was holding him, gripping his shackles tightly with both hands, his veins bulging!
"Are you out of your mind? Do you think you're Hercules? That you can break shackles with your bare hands?"
"Hahaha, that's right!"
Upon seeing this, the officials burst into laughter.
Xu Qingyi wiped away her tears helplessly. Her daughter was in an accident, and she couldn't let her younger brother be in an accident too.
"Ah Fei, don't be like this. Maybe, just maybe they can find Zhao Zhao!"
Then, with a "bang," Xu Yifei actually broke the handcuffs with his bare hands!
The official's mocking voice instantly choked.
Everyone: ?!
Luo Qing reacted immediately and drew his sword with a "whoosh".
"Xu Yifei! Don't do anything rash! If you dare to run away, your brothers and sisters will all be dead!"
"I didn't want to run away, you forced me to! I told you, I just wanted to save my niece!"
Xu Yifei's eyes were bloodshot, and he gripped the shackles with both hands, trying to break them again.
The officers found a wooden stick and swung it fiercely!
"don't want!"
Xu Qingyi rushed forward, trying to shield her younger brother.
But Xu Yifei turned around and blocked him, striking him hard on the back with the wooden stick!
With a loud "bang," the wooden stick snapped in two!
"My God! Is he a bear? How could he make that judgment?"
"What are you all standing there for? Quickly find some chains and tie him up!"
Luo Qing's chest was throbbing.
Seeing that things were getting out of hand, Wei Jingchen stepped forward and pulled Xu Yifei back.
"Master Xu, please don't act rashly. Zhao Zhao was probably not kidnapped by ordinary people. They didn't take Zhao Zhao's life on the spot."
There might be a reason. We need to stay calm now. Zhao Zhao was kidnapped when officials brought people into the city without permission; they're more anxious than we are!
"But Zhaozhao is only five years old, why did those people kidnap her?"
Xu Yifei was anxious; he wished he could suffer in place of his niece!
"What we need to do is get the officials on our side, not offend them! Only then will they be more dedicated to finding the person."
Wei Jingchen's words gradually calmed Xu Yifei down.
"But how can we get them to join us on the same boat?"
Yun Zhao was unaware that his disappearance had caused a huge uproar at the post station.
At this moment, she was buying things everywhere, both medicinal herbs and medicine-making tools.
"Little brat, what are you doing buying so many medicinal herbs?"
Young Master Lu's lips twitched as he looked at the little brat who spent money like water.
He had followed his father on his travels for many years, from the Northwest to the capital, and had never prepared so much stuff.
"It's always better to be prepared."
Yun Zhao shook his head, speaking as if it were perfectly natural.
"What's the point of buying it if you're not going to take it with you?"
"Someone's come to collect it!"
Just as Young Master Lu was wondering, Yun Zhao beckoned towards a corner.
"Sister Zhixia, come quick!"
The Lu father and son were suddenly startled.
It turned out they had been followed all along. This person's lightness skill was so amazing that even they couldn't detect him!
Zhi Xia hurriedly stepped forward, scrutinizing the Lu family father and son with a wary expression.
"I apologize for being late, Miss! Don't worry, Miss, we have already taken the goods from those two shops!"
When Zhixia discovered that Yunzhao had been kidnapped, she tried to chase after him, but was blocked by the crowd.
When she found Yun Zhao again, he was accompanied by a father and son.
The two were extremely skilled in martial arts, and Zhi Xia knew she was no match for them, so she followed them discreetly.
But she didn't expect that the two men seemed to have a good relationship with the young princess.
"Don't worry, Sister Zhixia. Uncle and brother are good people. I was saved by them just now!"
They'll be coming with us to Lingnan next, and they'll protect us along the way!
Yun Zhao grinned.
Uncle Lu then realized that this was the baby's servant.
"Hello, Miss Zhixia. My name is Lu Xun, and this is my son, Lu Li."
When Zhixia heard that it was these two who had saved the young princess, her expression changed drastically, and she hurriedly bowed to them.
"Thank you both for saving me! I apologize for any offense I may have caused!"
"Sister Zhixia, have you gone back and told my mother that I'm alright?"
After the introductions, Yun Zhao's biggest concern was that her family was worried about her.
Especially since my eldest uncle has a bad temper, I hope he doesn't cause any trouble!
"Don't worry, young lady. After we found your whereabouts, Zhixia has already sent Zhiqiu to inform you."
To make things easier on the road, Zhichun and the others had already discussed it last night and decided to change all the previous ways of addressing each other.
Knowing that his family was safe and sound, Yun Zhao felt relieved.
Having finally escaped the control of government officials, Yun Zhao naturally wouldn't return so soon.
"Uncle Lu, do you know if there's a slaughterhouse nearby?"
"This is the closest town to the capital, so there will definitely be meat here. What, you want to buy meat from the slaughterhouse?"
We just bought so much, isn't that enough?
How many mouths does she have to feed in her family?
"We definitely need to buy meat, but I want to buy sheep, live sheep~ Oh, Uncle Lu, let's hurry up and buy it, then head back!"
Yun Zhao patted Lu Xun's arm.
"Uncle Lu, hurry, hurry, we need to buy more things so we won't go hungry on the way!"
Lu Xun was somewhat helpless, but he still carried her away.
When Zhi Qiu rushed to the post station, she saw Zhi Chun outside the station, her hands clenched tightly, looking angry.
"Sister Zhichun, we've found Miss Zhixia! Sister Zhixia told me to come back and tell you!"
"Found it? That's great! Should I go in and tell Miss?"
"Wait, Sister Zhichun, now that the young lady is alright, let's not reveal ourselves, shall we?"
"The young lady will be back soon. If this time, she can see the true colors of the Fourth Young Master and the Fifth Young Lady, that would be quite good!"
Zhi Qiu had long been dissatisfied with the old lady's lineage, but the young lady always said that filial piety was the most important of all virtues.
They always tolerated it.
But the road to exile is so dangerous! Miss must sever all ties with these heartless family members!
Zhi Chun agreed wholeheartedly and continued to observe from outside the courtyard.
At Wei Jingchen's urging, the Xu siblings decided to give most of the silver to the officials, hoping they would mobilize all their resources to search for the missing person.
When Madam Xu found out, she was so anxious that she got out of bed.
