Nie Jinfeng looked at the empty courtyard. Her heart, which had experienced disappointment time and time again, felt broken and she was shaking with pain.

Mr. Qiu's expression gradually became more solemn.

"Why did you leave?"

Wei Liulang muttered, "Did the Wei family not treat us well enough?"

As the prince, Gui Bu's first reaction was that Jiang Guanchao felt uncomfortable living in the Wei family, so he left.

It happened that at this time, Wei Xu returned from court.

Wei Liulang immediately said seriously: "Dad, did you go to fight with Alliance Leader Jiang last night?"

Wei Xu coughed guiltily, straightened his back and said, "That's called sparring. Besides, he was the first to start!"

Wei Liulang: "So you beat Alliance Leader Jiang away?"

Wei Xu said sternly: "How could I have that? Your grandmother is watching!"

Furthermore, he also clearly noticed that Jiang Guanchao's martial arts had improved a lot, so it would not be so easy for him to hurt him if he really wanted to.

"This guy has been at sea recently. He is either taking Xiaobao with him or on his way to take Xiaobao with him. How can he have time to practice martial arts? What good fortune has he encountered?"

Wei Xu muttered to himself, then suddenly came to his senses, looked at his son and asked, "You said Jiang Guanchao ran away?"

Wei Liulang pointed to the clean table and said, "Yes! All the luggage has been taken away!"

Yun Shuang spoke up: "Jiang Guanchao's departure has nothing to do with the Wei family. He left the island for a mission and had no intention of coming to the Great Zhou. It was Xiaobao who couldn't leave him... I didn't know the way to the capital, so he sent us on this trip."

When Wei Xiaobao is with his mother, it is the best time for Jiang Guanchao to leave.

"oh."

Wei Liulang felt relieved.

He glanced at Nie Jinfeng, whose eyes were red, and consoled her, "Mother-in-law, don't be sad yet. Maybe he's not your son."

Nie Jinfeng, who was not comforted, said: "..."

Su Xiaoxiao looked at Yun Shuang: "Mom, did Alliance Leader Jiang mention where he was going?"

Yun Shuang shook her head: "No, the Killer Alliance's ship sent us to the border of Da Zhou and then left. I don't know where Qi Yao and his group went."

Su Xiaoxiao asked again: "When did he leave? Did mother notice?"

Yunshuang shook her head again.

Gui Bu suggested: "How about this, we split up and look for it."

After Jiang Guanchao left the Wei family, he headed north out of the capital.

He guessed that the Wei family might come looking for him, so he specially picked a high-quality horse and passed several towns in one day.

In the evening, he found an inn to stay in.

Just when they were about to take a rest, a group of men in black robes also checked into the inn.

Jiang Guanchao heard their conversation.

They spoke Fuso dialect and each of them carried a ninja sword.

It might be related to the Fuso killer last night.

It was obvious that the Fuso killer last night was targeting the Wei family. The Wei family’s affairs had nothing to do with him, so he was too lazy to care.

He lay down fully clothed.

As soon as I closed my eyes, I heard a baby's wailing sound in my ears.

He opened his eyes quickly.

“Woo-wah—woo-wah—”

The baby's crying sound came from the Fuso Killer.

The baby, who was eight or nine months old, cried heart-wrenchingly.

Not Wei Xiaobao.

She doesn't cry easily, but when she does, most people can't stand it.

He saved Wei Xiaobao because he owed Yunshuang a favor. What did the life and death of this child have to do with him? He was a killer.

Not a Bodhisattva.

"Let my child go - you let my child go - ah -"

The woman's miserable cries echoed in the yard.

The guard of the post station went there.

The result is predictable, they are no match for the Fuso killer.

“Wow—”

The child was crying so hard that he could hardly breathe.

Jiang Guanchao was upset and walked out with a cold look, kicking the other party's door open! Several Fuso assassins looked at him.

The others instinctively asked in Japanese, "Who is it?"

Jiang Guanchao said coldly: "Let go of the child and get out of the post station. I don't have the patience to tangle with you. If you can understand, get out. If you don't understand, I will have to kill you!"

Apparently there were some among them who understood the Central Plains dialect, and they repeated it to their companions in the Japanese dialect.

All of the companions had ferocious looks on their faces, and they all reached for the ninja swords behind them.

Jiang Guanchao gave a deathly stare to the few people.

Half a quarter of an hour later.

Jiang Guanchao stepped over the corpse with an expressionless face and walked out of the house calmly.

"Hero!"

The woman ran out holding the rescued child, choking with sobs and kowtowed, "Thank you for saving my life!"

Jiang Guanchao said calmly: "I just don't like the noise."

The woman said with tears of gratitude: "Recently, a group of people came from nowhere and specifically captured babies born in August. Several children in the neighboring village have disappeared. If I hadn't met you today, I'm afraid my child would..."

Jiang Guanchao paused: "Born in August?"

The woman nodded: "Yes, many of the missing ones are August children."

There was a flash of suspicion in Jiang Guanchao's eyes.

Wei Xiaobao was born on August 29th.

The Fuso killer sneaked into the mansion last night. Could it be that he was going for the little fat girl?

"Ababa."

He was possessed by a ghost and actually heard the voice of the chubby girl.

Watching the tides on the river, one can get rid of all distractions.

The chubby girl was a member of the Wei family. He had already repaid Yun Shuang’s favor. From now on, the life and death of the chubby girl had nothing to do with him.

"Aba Aba?"

Jiang Guanchao's body stiffened.

Wei Xiaobao sat on the ground and stretched out his chubby arms towards Jiang Guanchao: "Aba Aba."

Jiang Guanchao was completely stunned!

How did this little guy get here?

Wei Xiaobao couldn't wait for a hug, so he tilted his head: "Aba Aba?"

Jiang Guanchao looked around.

Wei Xiaobao went crazy: "Ah Ba Ah Ba!"

My butt hurts! Jiang Guanchao picked up Wei Xiaobao from the hard bluestone floor.

He looked around and said seriously, "Girl, this joke is not funny!"

The girl refers to Su Xiaoxiao.

No one responded to him.

He thought for a moment and said coldly: "Wei Xu! Come out!"

Still no one responded to him.

Jiang Guanchao was furious: "What's wrong with your Wei family? Did you throw your child everywhere?"

"Wooooooooooooooo!"

Wei Xiaobao shook his chubby body exaggeratedly, looking frightened.

Jiang Guanchao thought of what the woman had just said.

Could it be... that the Fuso killer stole Wei Xiaobao from the Wei family?

Jiang Guanchao carried Wei Xiaobao out of the post station and ran into Yunshuang who was looking for him.

When Yunshuang saw the two of them, one big and one small, her heart finally settled down.

Who would understand? The child in my arms suddenly disappeared.

Fortunately, she guessed that Jiang Guanchao was nearby.

really.

Jiang Guanchao said coldly: "How come you can't even take care of a child?"

With the tone of questioning, someone who didn't know would think you were Wei Xiaobao's biological grandfather.

Yunshuang said: "Isn't it because of you?"

If it wasn't to find you, how could Xiaobao follow you out? Jiang Guanchao gave her a strange look and said, "I've only been gone for one day."

What do the Wei family do for a living? They can't even defend against a few Fusang assassins, so does he have to take action?

Yes, Xiaobao can't live without you for a day...

Yun Shuang said sourly: "Just show off."

Jiang Guanchao: "Why am I showing off? Isn't this the truth?"

One day after he left, something happened to the fat girl. What a useless guy Wei Xu is!

The two of them were talking at cross purposes and were both furious.

Soon, the officials came to the post station.

Jiang Guanchao was too lazy to deal with the government, so he carried Wei Xiaobao and used his martial arts skills to leave.

"Hello!"

Yunshuang frowned and followed.

The two came to the town.

This place is not as lively as the capital, but there are still many shops and stalls along the street.

Wei Xiaobao looked at a stall selling glutinous rice balls: "Aba Aba!"

Yunshuang: "You can't eat it."

Jiang Guanchao carried Wei Xiaobao and sat down at the small table in front of the stall.

His tall and strong body looked a little aggrieved sitting on a small stool.

Wei Xiaobao was so happy that he kept jumping around.

Yunshuang walked over and sat down.

Jiang Guanchao glanced around and said strangely, "Why are there so many children in Zhongyuan?"

Yunshuang agreed for once: "Yes, there are more and more children recently."

In the past, when I walked around the island, I could see disciples from the sects everywhere. But since Wei Xiaobao came into being, it felt like there were children everywhere.

An old lady holding a crying baby sat down opposite them: "My dear grandson, don't cry, don't cry, your mother will be here soon... Alas... Why hasn't she come for so long?"

The child was crying loudly.

Wei Xiaobao stopped struggling and looked at the baby with curiosity with his eyes wide open.

The aunt also saw Wei Xiaobao and her... "father and mother".

"How old?"

The old lady asked with a smile.

Yun Shuang was about to speak when Jiang Guanchao said calmly, "Eight months, and thirteen days."

The old lady was surprised: "It's only been eight months, my grandson is one year old and he's not as fat as your daughter!"

Yunshuang looked at the child in her arms, and found that he was indeed much smaller than Wei Xiaobao.

If she didn't say it, she might think the child was only seven months old.

Yunshuang never thought that it might be because her child was too fat. He was a real strong boy.

The old lady's grandson was crying loudly.

The old lady's eyes fell on Yunshuang's collar, she smiled and said to Yunshuang: "I can tell from your abundant milk supply that my grandson is starving. Please help me feed my grandson!"

Yunshuang’s face froze.

The old lady stood up and was about to hand the child over, but was stopped by a large, bony hand.

The old lady looked at Jiang Guanchao in confusion.

Jiang Guanchao also looked at her, his eyes calm and cold: "She never fed the child, I was the one who fed him."

The old lady didn’t know that Jiang Guanchao was feeding his baby with milk powder.

She glanced at Jiang Guanchao's firm and full chest.

The old lady watched for three full seconds, and then she was stunned while holding her grandson! 　This is too much. Jiang Mengzhu is fine, but how come even Jiang Mengmeng and Jiang Baobao are rough?
