Chapter 156
"Brother, did we dig the wrong grave?"
Looking at the empty coffin, Mingqiao didn't know where to put his muddy little hands.
He looked at You Qing blankly.
You Qing was also confused.
"It's right here..."
He murmured, "There is still her tombstone here. She has always been buried here."
Although the name on the tombstone is not Xue Ji, but her later name.
But You Qing knew that this tombstone was hers.
"How could this happen? Where is she? Who stole her?"
You Qing's hands were clenched on the empty coffin, veins on the back of his hands were bulging from the force. He looked at the empty coffin in front of him, and for the first time, the overly mature calmness that always appeared on his little face was gone.
He turned around and his eyes met Ming Qiao's.
Ming Qiao was so heartbroken!
He felt so sorry for You Qing now.
"elder brother!"
Ming Qiao didn't care that his hands were still dirty. He hugged You Qing and held You Qing's trembling body: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. If it's not in the coffin, it must be somewhere else! Even if it's stolen, we can find it back!"
"Qiao Qiao will go with you to find it. Qiao Qiao will definitely go with you to find it!"
Hearing Ming Qiao's anxious yet determined voice, You Qing gradually regained his sanity.
He finally hugged Mingqiao back.
"Jojo."
You Qing rarely shows weakness in front of Ming Qiao. The few times he expresses his emotions in front of Ming Qiao are almost always because of his biological mother.
The last time he talked about his mother was late at night, and Ming Qiao was with him.
This time, You Qing held the soft, little cub in his arms, feeling extremely fortunate that Ming Qiao was there at this moment.
He lowered his head and rested his face in the crook of Mingqiao's neck.
Ming Qiao: “!”
Ming Qiao hugged her brother like this, and in an instant, her heart was filled with pain.
Not only was he distressed, he was also excited and generous.
Such a fragile and pitiful brother——
Let Qiao Qiao protect it!
Mingqiao made this decision at this moment.
He swore that he would help his brother find his mother!
He even swore that he would not let his brother be so sad!
Ming Qiao patted You Qing's back with her little hands, and while doing so, she consoled him: "Brother, don't let your imagination run wild. We will definitely be able to get Aunt Xue back."
"Once we find her, we'll take her away immediately."
Ming Qiao kept comforting him. His comforting voice and his warm hug brought You Qing great comfort.
After an unknown amount of time, You Qing adjusted his mood.
He stepped back slightly, breaking the hug.
When they separated, he noticed that Mingqiao's face had turned red with worry for him.
He wanted to raise his hand and touch Mingqiao's little face, but when he was about to touch her, he suddenly pulled his hand back.
His hands are too dirty and will dirty Mingqiao's pretty face.
Ming Qiao caught him retracting his hand.
Ming Qiao looked at his hand, pulled it out without hesitation, and then pressed it firmly against her face.
"Brother, touch it!"
Ming Qiao now focuses on fulfilling You Qing’s every request.
He said, "You can touch it as you like, and you can even pinch it."
Ming Qiao contributed his beautiful and soft little face that was like dough, but it was not enough, he also conjured up You Qing's favorite little dragon horns.
You Qing: “…”
You Qing looked at Ming Qiao, who was standing in front of him with little dragon horns on his head and his chubby face tilted up, and his heart ached.
He touched Ming Qiao's soft, chubby face and pinched his sensitive little horns.
"alright."
After touching and kneading, You Qing withdrew his hand: "Thank you Qiao Qiao, I'm fine now."
Ming Qiao shook his head: "You're welcome, brother."
His little face and little corners all belong to his brother, and his brother can touch them whenever he wants!
After confirming that the coffin was empty, Ming Qiao used a little cleaning technique to clean himself and his brother thoroughly.
After packing up, they went to You's house hand in hand.
You Yuan is no longer with us, but since the You family is large, some of them are still alive.
They are going to find these people.
"Qiao Qiao, are you tired? Do you want to take a rest?"
On the way to You's house, You Qing stopped and asked Ming Qiao if he wanted to rest.
Mingqiao shook his head like a rattle.
He knew that You Qing was afraid that he would get tired from digging graves with them without any rest.
But he really isn't tired at all now.
He was furious. He wanted to know who was so cruel to his brother that he couldn't even see his mother.
"Brother, let's keep going."
"good."
The two continued walking, and it took them most of the day before they found one or two servants from the You family.
They first asked these servants about the whereabouts of the other servants.
Ever since the You family fell, the You mansion has been disbanded.
They came back late, which made it difficult to find old friends from the You Mansion.
You Qing asked the two servants he had found: "Do you know where my mother is buried?"
"Answer me the truth, and I'll put a mantra spell on you."
"If you don't tell the truth, you will be in danger."
You Qing's interrogation was never gentle.
He frightened the two servants so much that they knelt down and begged for mercy.
These two servants had bullied You Qing to some extent when they were in You's mansion.
They were afraid of You Qing's revenge.
Looking at You Qing's gloomy little face, they really felt that You Qing wanted to kill them.
"I tell you, I tell you, I tell you the truth!"
A servant knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Isn't the madam's grave in front of the woods west of the city? The master has been there to pay homage."
The tomb in front of the woods west of the city was the one Ming Qiao and You Qing had just visited.
His expression became even colder: "My mother is not here. Tell me, do you know any other place?"
Servant: “…”
The servant's face turned pale: "Master, apart from this place in the west of the city, I really don't know anything else!"
"How much do you know about my mother? Tell me everything."
Servant: “…”
Servant: "Master, I really don't know much about Madam's affairs."
Hearing that his companions had no answer and You Qing's expression became more and more frightening, the man next to him, fearing that he would be implicated, spoke hurriedly.
"Master, I know, I know something about the lady!"
"Grandma Wang in the kitchen was my biological grandmother. She is dead."
"But she mentioned Madam to me before she died!"
"She said that the lady is so beautiful. Not only the master is obsessed with the lady, but any man in the world would be obsessed with the lady!"
"She also said, and also said..."
"What did you say?"
"She also said that the lady valued the children more than the master."
"She, she won't let the master touch her at night."
As the servant hesitated, You Qing heard the source of why he was called a bastard.
"The master was drunk and yelled that out himself."
"He scolded the lady. He said that he was so good to her, but he couldn't warm her heart! He said that the lady didn't even want him as her husband for a bastard."
"Madam retorted. Madam said that in the beginning, he was the one who agreed to it."
"Madam wanted to leave, but she didn't make it."
"Later, some strangers who looked distinguished came to the house and even to the lady's yard. They came and left, and no one knew what they did."
"Later, my wife died during childbirth, and my master buried her."
The man, who was filled with a desire to survive, told You Qing everything he knew without daring to hide anything.
His mantra shows that what he says is true.
You Qing closed his eyes, and the old events of the past seemed to replay themselves before his eyes.
He could roughly guess the outline of the story.
The young Xue Ji was pregnant with him, and she came to this city somehow and met You Yuan who was obsessed with her.
She must have told You Yuan that she was pregnant.
You Yuan didn't care and was determined to marry her.
Xue Ji finally agreed.
When she agreed, she made an appointment with You Yuan.
That's why she said that You Yuan himself promised not to touch her.
You Yuan agreed to it at first, but after the marriage, he wanted to go back on his word.
You Qing thought about his mother's situation at that time, and he only regretted why he stayed in her belly.
It was he who implicated his mother.
"elder brother."
Ming Qiao shook his brother's hand in time.
You Qing opened his eyes and knew the person in front of him, and he couldn't say anything else.
He only asked at last: "Do you know who were the people who came in and out of my mother's yard back then? Or do you know their portraits?"
Servant: "When my grandmother was sick and confused, she said..."
"They say that these nobles came from far away places, and they are all cultivators."
"They want to take the lady away."
"What are their names? First name, last name, or characteristics, do you remember?"
You Qing pressed on with question after question.
The servant's forehead was covered with sweat from being interrogated, and he racked his brains to search his memory.
While searching his memory, he begged his grandmother in his heart.
Grandma!
May he remember more!
He really wants to survive now!
Perhaps it was his grandmother's blessing that the man, sweating profusely, actually remembered something from his grandmother's nonsense deep in his memory.
"Those people's surname is Wu, no, their names have Wu in them..."
"They were all dressed in blue and had crows tattooed on their arms!"
Crow.
crow.
You Qing had some knowledge of various cultivation families in the Cang Xuan Continent.
Except for some extremely reclusive ones, he knew all the others.
He couldn't remember the crow tattoo, or the family or person whose name was related to crow.
"Brother, let's go ask again."
"good."
The two searched and asked for three days.
During these three days, Ming Qiao's heart was on You Qing.
He accidentally overlooked that he still had two little burdens...
His little burden was in Lintian Sect, and he would occasionally be distracted and think for a few seconds.
The uncles and seniors are very good at taking care of babies. There will be no problem if they take care of them!
After thinking about it for a few seconds, Ming Qiao felt relieved and continued to accompany You Qing to find his mother.
No, it’s about finding clues about my mother.
Ming Qiao stayed here to help them search. The two babies were crying so much that they were almost dehydrated.
"One, one, two, two, don't cry. I'll throw you up high. Can you throw me up high?"
"Er Er, I'll take you to fly. Let's fly, fly high!"
"Yi Yi, here are your favorite vegetables. Do you want to eat them?"
"No, no!"
The two babies, with red faces, were crying and shaking their heads desperately, with the word "no" clearly coming out of their little mouths.
I don’t want to eat my favorite dishes anymore.
Er Er’s favorite game, Fei Fei, is no longer available.
The two little babies sat together, tears streaming down their little faces. They looked at their senior brothers and sisters who were gathered in front of them, and their baby voices became hoarse from crying.
"Pot, I want pot."
They don’t want food or toys, they just want the big brother.
"GuoGuo will be back soon."
The senior brother tried hard to coax her: "We are the best behaved ones, let's wait for Guoguo obediently, okay?"
"No!"
Yi Yi still shook his head. He opened his fat arms that looked like lotus roots, with snot bubbles running down his nose, and looked pitiful: "Hold me!"
A senior brother quickly picked him up.
One by one, they were picked up. The fat boy pointed his hand outwards and cried again, "Menmen! Menmen! Guoguo!"
He asked someone to pick him up and go out to find his elder brother.
He hugged his senior brother, feeling like crying but without tears.
"Yi Yi, my dear brother, can we not have the pot?"
"Wow, wow, wow, I want a pot!"
Amid the sounds of crying and coaxing the baby, a dark shadow suddenly appeared.
Mo Ying is the book spirit that has arrived.
It was awakened by the crying of the two babies and jumped out of the book.
It knows that these two babies are baby Qiao Qiao's younger brothers.
It is very tolerant towards Jojo's younger brother.
So, when it came out, it didn't blame the baby for waking it up. It twisted its body and asked seriously -
"Why don't you take them to find your brother?"
"They want a brother!"
"Xiao Shu, please stop making trouble. Qiao Qiao and Xiao You are going back to Xiao You's house. Wouldn't it disturb them if we took Yi Yi Er Er with us?"
"Baby Qiao Qiao will let these two babies go when he sees them crying."
The book spirit said this and forcibly contacted Ming Qiao.
Now that they are all in Cang Xuan Continent, it is very convenient for them to contact each other.
Ming Qiao was stunned for a moment when he received a call from Shu Jing out of the blue.
"Shushu, what's wrong?"
The book spirit didn't say anything and just let Ming Qiao listen to what was happening here.
Mingqiao pricked up her little ears and was startled by the crying sounds of Yiyierer.
"Why are you crying? One, one, two, two! What's wrong with you?"
"Don't cry, don't cry, brother is here!"
As expected, Ming Qiao became anxious when he heard the crying of the two babies.
The two babies also heard their eldest brother's voice.
Er Er crawled over, and Yi Yi also stuck out his little body.
They stretched out their chubby hands towards the direction where their eldest brother's voice came from, and cried and hiccuped: "Big brother, hold me!"
Ming Qiao: “…”
Mingqiao's mouth drooped and he almost cried out.
He also wants to hug one, one, two, two now!
You Qing was next to Ming Qiao, so he naturally heard the sounds that Ming Qiao could hear.
He put his arm around Mingqiao's shoulders soothingly.
"Brother, sister, are you there? Do you miss Qiao Qiao? Could you please send them here?"
"Will sending them over delay your business?"
"No delay."
You Qing answered on behalf of Ming Qiao: "Send them here."
"OK."
After the two sides ended their contact, Mingqiao's eyes were still red.
You Qing held his little face and wiped his eyes.
"Don't be sad, one one two two will come soon."
"Brother, I'm not a good brother."
Ming Qiao sniffed and reflected, "I don't care one, one, two, two."
"You've been very good to One One Two Two."
You Qing patiently coaxed Ming Qiao: "You are a good big brother, that's why Yi Yi Er Er likes you and sticks to you."
Under You Qing's guidance, Ming Qiao sniffed and slowly calmed down.
After a few days of investigation, they got some clues, but they still needed to find out what these clues pointed to.
"Brother, have you heard of the Snow Region? I have never heard of it."
Ming Qiao adjusted his mood, stood obediently in front of You Qing, and asked You Qing.
They both knew that Xue Ji came from the Snow Region.
But they had no idea where the Snowland was or what kind of place it was.
"Let's go back and ask Shushu."
Ming Qiao hooked You Qing's finger and took the initiative to say, "Shu Shu must know!"
"Um."
The two of them mentioned the book spirit, and Ming Qiao said, "Right, when we go back and see Shushu, we'll ask him if he wants to go back to Tianjun Realm with us, okay?"
"good."
After they finished talking, they took his hand and walked away from where they were.
All the old members of the You family that could be found have been found.
Neither Ming Qiao nor You Qing had any intention of staying here any longer; they were originally planning to return.
But on the way back, they heard that the Demon Lord of the Demon Realm was injured and unconscious.
Wu Ye ascended to the sky, and now the Demon Lord of the Demon Realm is Zhu Yi.
Ming Qiao had sent a message to Zhu Yi before, but he never waited for Zhu Yi to come.
At that time, the senior brothers said that it might be because he was too busy being the Demon Lord.
Now it seems that Uncle Zhu Yi probably didn't hear his message at all.
They were near the entrance to the Demon Realm, asking about Zhu Yi's specific situation while waiting for their brothers to send Yiyier over.
The senior brothers are very fast.
They packed up 1122's daily necessities without stopping for a moment and sent them over.
The daily necessities for the two babies were greatly increased in Lintian Sect.
There was a clever and skillful senior sister who made a bunch of diapers.
In order to ensure that the two babies could have milk when they went out, the fourth elder invented a magical instrument that could solidify the milk and prevent it from spoiling.
This time, I brought a lot of milk for the babies.
There are also clothes for two babies, small bracelets, and a small gold lock...
Ming Qiao was shocked when he saw this.
"One one two two there are so many things!"
"You have too."
You Qing reminded: "The one next to it is yours."
1122 brought daily necessities.
Ming Qiao’s was not left out either.
The disciples of Lintian Sect have always loved him the most.
They also prepared a lot of things for Mingqiao.
"Qiao Qiao, do you want us to accompany you in?"
One of the brothers even wanted to enter the demon world to look after Mingqiao's baby.
Ming Qiao waved her hand: "No need! My brother and I can go."
Places like the Demon Realm are somewhat turbid after all.
He didn't want more senior brothers to come.
"One, one, two, two. Goodbye, brother."
Yiyierer was crying loudly in his senior brother's arms on the way, but when he saw Mingqiao, he couldn't wait to stretch out his little hands for Mingqiao to hold him.
You Qing helped hold the two babies so that they could both be in Ming Qiao's arms, which made the two babies stop crying.
The baby, who had been separated from his elder brother for three days, felt very aggrieved.
Their fat buttocks were held in You Qing's palms, their little bodies were hanging in their big brother's arms, and their little faces with tear marks were pressed tightly against their big brother.
After hearing what their eldest brother said, they turned their little faces, obediently stretched out their chubby hands, waved twice, and made a gesture of goodbye.
After waving their little hands, the two babies continued to bury their faces in Mingqiao's arms.
They were afraid that they would be taken away again.
Ming Qiao patted their backs and rubbed them with his equally soft face.
"Don't be afraid, big brother won't leave this time!"
The three chubby little faces rubbed against each other, and this scene made the hearts of the senior brothers soften.
The two babies had their faces rubbed, and they pouty mouths as they went to kiss their big brother.
Ming Qiao also pouted and kissed their chubby faces.
"Ah...I suddenly want to have a baby too."
One of my fellow students was so overwhelmed by this heartwarming scene that he looked dizzy.
He covered his heart and said to the person next to him with a silly smile: "The child is so cute."
The senior brother next to him was more sober: "You want to have a baby? Okay, I'll develop a fertility pill for you when I get back. But you better think about it, the baby you give birth to may not be as obedient and cute as Qiao Qiao."
The senior brother next to him continued to whisper devilishly: "The baby you give birth to may look like 1122."
The senior brother who just looked forward to having a baby: "..."
He thought about the scene of One, Two, Two crying so hard that he almost passed out, and it seemed as if the crying of the two little ones was instantly filled in his ears again.
He shuddered.
"No more, no more, I can't handle it anymore."
Giving birth to a child is like opening a blind box, and he doesn’t have the courage to open it and find two crying babies.
"Senior Brother, Goodbye!"
After rubbing his face with Yiyierer, Ming Qiao raised his head and said goodbye to his senior brothers.
This time, Ming Qiao didn't hesitate after saying goodbye. He was a little worried about Zhu Yi's condition.
After entering from the entrance to the demon world, Ming Qiao and You Qing carried the two babies on their backs again.
When Yiyierer saw that their fellow brothers had left, they knew they would not be taken away, so they were willing to come out of Mingqiao's arms.
The heaviest one, Yi Yi, even consciously opened her little hands towards You Qing.
He was afraid of hurting his elder brother, so he let You Qing hold him.
soon.
Ming Qiao and You Qing brought their two babies into the territory of the demon world.
Ming Qiao was not in a hurry to take out the pass that allowed him to enter the demon world.
He and You Qing went to inquire about it first.
Since Ming Qiao had spent some time in the demon world, he was quite familiar with its customs and features.
He put on a chubby face and pretended to be serious when he went to ask people about it.
"Hey, Qiao Qiao."
Ming Qiao was pretending to be a grown-up seriously, but before he could finish, someone patted him on the shoulder.
He looked back and his little face froze.
The person who patted him on the shoulder was the boss who had hired him to work before.
Seeing Ming Qiao turn around, the boss was more certain: "It's really you. I think you look familiar even from behind."
"Weren't you taken to the Demon Palace? Why are you here?"
The boss was very curious and asked questions one after another.
"You have been in the Demon Palace for a long time and there has been no news. What happened to you?"
Ming Qiao: “…”
Mingqiao could hardly follow what his boss said.
He was about to answer something when the boss came closer to him and asked again, "The Demon Lord was attacked. Aren't you afraid of being caught walking outside like this?"
Zhu Yi announced to the public early on that Ming Qiao was his son.
At that time, Wu Ye and Zhu Yi had a fight because of this.
Outsiders did not see clearly the drama between the two demon lords fighting for their cubs.
They only knew that Ming Qiao was the little prince of the demon world.
And it just so happened that the boss knew the face of the little prince of the demon world.
When Ming Qiao heard the word "attacked", he also moved closer to his boss.
"Do you know who attacked the Demon Lord?"
boss:"……"
The boss's face changed: "How should I know! If I knew, would I not report it? Don't talk nonsense, I just opened a shop, I don't know anything."
The boss, who just wanted to eat a bite of the melon and didn't want to get into trouble, wanted to run away after being asked by Ming Qiao.
Unfortunately, before he could slip away, Ming Qiao’s chubby little hands grabbed him.
Two people, one big and one small, looked at each other.
After a while, they sat in a private room in the store.
The last time Mingqiao was in this store, he was wearing a worker's clothes and serving dishes.
This time when he came in again, he was able to sit in the inner room.
The comparison between before and after made Ming Qiao sigh.
He didn't know where he picked up the storybook, but he was quite fond of learning some of the sentences in it.
At this moment, in this situation, he sighed and spoke in the classic tone of the novel.
"Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west, don't look down on the poor kid!"
boss:"……"
The boss's mouth twitched, and he didn't want to comment on this little Long Aotian.
After Ming Qiao finished pretending to be Long Aotian's baby, he sat down and began to seamlessly switch to baby-sitting mode.
He and You Qing prepared milk and each fed a baby.
Ming Qiao was feeding Er Er and looked up at the boss.
The boss looked at the two babies who looked a bit like Ming Qiao. The more he looked, the more suspicious he became: "In our demon world, there is a little princess and a second prince?"
Ming Qiao: “…”
Ming Qiao: “Yeah.”
He is the little prince of the demon world, so of course his brothers and sisters count as well!
The boss continued to look at the little heirs of the demon world, but before he had enough, his sight was interrupted by Ming Qiao.
"Tell me exactly what happened when the Demon Lord was attacked."
While feeding Er Er, Ming Qiao took out the momentum of the little prince of the demon world and said to his boss: "I was not in the palace at that time. I want to investigate this matter now. If you tell me useful clues, I will give you benefits!"
The boss was instantly moved by the promise from the little prince of the demon world.
He is just a shop owner now. Although he is rich, he has no power.
If he could gain some real power in the Demon Realm through the little prince of the Demon Realm, it would be an opportunity for him to turn things around.
"Qiao Qiao, no, your highness."
The boss changed his words immediately, and his change of words also showed that he was willing to help Ming Qiao.
"There are several versions of the story circulating privately about your Majesty's assassination."
"One theory is that His Majesty has developed an inner demon, and it was his inner demon that hurt him this time."
"There is another saying that your Majesty's actions have made many demons... dissatisfied. This time, the demons joined forces to hurt him."
"In addition to the above two statements, there is another one that is even more ridiculous."
It was obvious that the boss really wanted to get close to Mingqiao, the little prince. He told Mingqiao what he had heard, which he himself thought was ridiculous.
"The more ridiculous statement is that Your Majesty is sacrificing himself in order to seek something."
As for this last statement, even the boss himself doesn't believe it.
Your Majesty is already above tens of thousands of people in this demon world.
What else could he seek?
In other words, who else is strong enough to satisfy the Demon Lord's wishes?
The boss told Ke Mingqiao everything he had found out.
After he said this, he lowered his voice and promised: "I will find out more about the inside story for you. Your Highness, please be careful and try not to go out."
"Yeah! I got it!"
Ming Qiao nodded. He agreed on a secret code with the boss, ate a bowl of noodles here, and then left.
When leaving, Yi Yi had a depressed look on his face and didn't look very happy.
He wanted to eat noodles, but his elder brother wouldn't let him have any.
"Fourth uncle said you can't eat it. You're too small to digest it."
Ming Qiao remembered all the common sense about raising a baby that the fourth elder taught him.
Yi Yi’s current body is not Yaya, but a baby.
Mingqiao was afraid that the baby's body was too fragile, so she didn't dare to feed him anything random.
After talking to Yi Yi, Ming Qiao looked up at You Qing again.
"Brother, let's go back to the Demon Palace."
"good."
Mingqiao also remembered the boss's reminder.
Although he was not afraid of being targeted and assassinated, he had a baby on his back. He did not want to fight with the baby on his back, and he did not want the baby to see the fight.
The address of the Demon Palace remains unchanged.
Ming Qiao hung a small sign and entered the palace unhindered.
His return to the palace stunned the servants in the Demon Palace.
"Your Highness."
After a brief moment of stunned silence, they respectfully called him "Your Highness".
Ming Qiao nodded, responded to them, and asked, "How is your majesty?"
"Your Excellency has not yet woken up. Before he fell into a coma, he locked himself in a secret room and did not allow anyone to enter."
Ming Qiao: “…”
Ming Qiao: “Really?”
Ming Qiao knew the secret room in the Demon Palace. He took You Qing's hand and walked straight into the secret room.
Soon, at the door of the secret room.
Ming Qiao raised his hand and knocked on the door: "Godfather! Are you awake? I'm back!"
"I'm Qiao Qiao!"
The author has something to say:
