He chose to escape in order not to expose his identity, but he couldn't tell the child the reason.
Suddenly, I heard someone selling candied haws on the street. "Grandson, wait a moment. Grandpa will buy you candied haws. They are sour and sweet, and very delicious." He licked his lips while saying this. It looked like he wanted to eat more...
After saying that, he turned and walked towards the candied haws.
When he came back with two strings and one string of candied haws in his mouth, he was horrified.
Xia Junyu, who was originally standing here, has disappeared!
The candied haws in his mouth fell out instantly and he shouted everywhere.
"Grandson? Grandson? Yu'er? Xia Junyu? Where have you been? Come out quickly!"
... ...
There were few people at this intersection and no one responded to him.
"Father, are you looking for the kid who was standing behind you just now?" the candied haws vendor came over and asked.
"Yes, yes, that's the kid. Very cute and handsome, wearing a black robe."
"I seemed to have seen a group of guards taking him away just now."
"Guards?" Could they be sent by Minghua? But they had just escaped, it was impossible for them to be discovered so quickly.
"What guards? What are they wearing? Which way are they going?" He immediately threw away the candied haws in his hand and grabbed the vendor's arm, looking very nervous.
He brought Xia Junyu out to play without telling his mother. If anything happened to Yu'er, how would he explain to his mother
He would feel guilty if he lost Yu'er in his hands.
"It looks like the clothes of the demon soldiers. They walked to the left. I think they should be..."
Before he could finish his words, Yao Lao disappeared in a flash.
He ran for a long time following the path pointed out by the vendor, but he still couldn't find the team of guards, let alone Xia Junyu.
No, he couldn't just look for someone blindly.
By the way, Mo Yan has a wide network of contacts and a lot of information, so I should ask him for help to find out.
Inside the Mo Chong Tower, Yao Lao acted sneakily, fearing that Ling'er would find out that he had returned.
"Xiaoyan, how are you? Have you found my eldest grandson?" As soon as he saw Mo Yan coming in, Yao Lao immediately rushed up and asked anxiously.
But he didn't dare to speak too loudly, for fear of being noticed by Ling'er.
Mo Yan put his backhand on the back of Yao Lao's hand that was holding his and patted it lightly.
"Old Master, please don't be anxious. Let's sit down and talk slowly."
"Oh, how can I not be anxious? My eldest grandson is lost, and I am almost going crazy!"
"According to what you said, I sent someone to the Northern Prince's Palace to inquire, but there was no news about the young master. I guess he is not in the Northern Prince's Palace."
"Where did that person go? You should tell me the point. This is really worrying me." Yu'er was alone in the Magic City. He was unfamiliar with the place and didn't know why those people arrested him or whether they would hurt him. Ever since Yu'er was lost, he felt like he was being fried in a frying pan all the time. He couldn't have a moment of peace.
If he knew who had captured his precious grandson, he would cut him into pieces!
"Later, I sent people to follow Princess Minghua, and indeed found some clues."
"What clues? Did she capture my precious grandson? What did she do to him?"
"I didn't find the young master, but Princess Minghua secretly went out and went to a deserted yard. I came back to tell you because I was afraid you would worry. No, where are you going, old master?"
Before Mo Yan could finish his words, Yao Lao stood up and walked towards the door.
"Go to that courtyard? I, an old man, want to see who Princess Minghua got the courage to arrest my grandson!"
However, as soon as Yao Lao arrived at the door, he met the person he was most afraid of meeting.
"Mr. Yao, has something happened to Yu'er?" Xia Ling'er asked directly.
"This... ah... it's all my fault. I shouldn't have taken my grandson out. Now he's missing. It's all my fault."
Seeing Yao Lao's cowardly look, Mo Yan was a little surprised. The old master was a tough person. Even in front of the Demon Lord, he rarely admitted his weakness. He always insisted on being the boss even if he was wrong. I didn't expect that this mother and son had such great charm that the old master could treat them so sincerely.
But I don't know what the Demon Lord would think when he hears this about his grandson...
If someone didn't know the inside story, they would think that the Demon Lord had secretly given birth to such a big son outside.
But to be honest, no one would doubt that the boy is the Demon Lord's son.
That appearance, that temperament, is completely a smaller version of the Demon Lord.
"But don't worry, I already have some ideas. I'm on my way there now. Don't worry, I will bring Yu'er back to you safely. I promise!" If anything happens to Yu'er, he will give him his life as compensation.
At this moment, Yao Lao's eyes were full of determination.
"Okay, okay, let's go." Mo Yan spoke to break the awkward atmosphere.
"Miss Xia, if it's convenient, you can go with us."
"good."
In a deserted courtyard on the southern outskirts of the city, weeds are overgrown and the yard is dilapidated. It seems that it has been abandoned for a long time.
Yao Lao pushed the door open and walked in, just in time to meet Minghua who turned around after hearing the noise.
"Oh, it's you, a little girl after all."
"It's you? It seems that the news I received was indeed correct. Come on, take down this damn old man!"
As soon as they came in, they started fighting without saying a word.
However, how could those ordinary guards be a match for Mo Yan and others
"You stupid girl, hand over my grandson now. Otherwise, not only you, but also your father will be held responsible."
While dealing with the guards who rushed over, Yao Lao shouted at Minghua.
He had already found out that Minghua was the daughter of the Northern King. The Northern King was a master on the battlefield and loyal, but he didn't expect that his daughter would be so arrogant and unreasonable! She even wanted to be his apprentice! Who gave him the face!
If Minghua knew this, he would definitely tell him that this face was given by you. If it weren't for what Yao Lao said when he was a child, there would be no such rumor.
"Grandson? What is this old man talking about?" Ming was a little confused when he heard what Yao Lao said.
But she didn't think too much about it and just thought she had heard it wrong.
The fight did not last long, and all of Minghua's men fell to the ground.
A shining sword was pressed against Minghua's heart. "Hand him over?"
"You are the woman that Mo Chonglou was with them, you...what are you going to do? I am the daughter of the Northern King, if you dare to hurt me, my father will never let you go when he comes back!" Minghua's face turned pale as he looked at the sharp blade that was just a hair's breadth away from him, but he did not forget to threaten.
"Stop talking nonsense and hand over the young master."
"Yes, hand over my grandson quickly. I tell you, if my grandson is fine, it's fine. But if a hair is missing, not to mention you, even your father Bei Batian will not escape the blame!" Yao Lao ran over angrily and asked anxiously.
"What grandson? What are you talking about? This princess doesn't know." After hearing the word 'grandson' again, Minghua was sure that she had not heard it wrong just now.
But I was confused and had no idea what this crazy old man was talking about.
He even mentioned his father's name without any shame. Ha, he said that his father could not escape the blame. He was called a crazy old man. It was not wrong to say that he was a crazy old man. Who did he think he was? Was he the high and mighty old master? How ridiculous!
"You, you, you are still quibbling when you are about to die. Isn't he the kid who was with me, an old man, before? Hand him over to me now!" Yao Lao was so anxious that he stamped his feet.
"It's not her." A clear female voice sounded, and Yao Lao immediately turned around.
"Not her? What do you mean?"
Ling'er took a few steps forward and took out an envelope.
"This thing was found on that boy just now. Take a look at it."
Yao Lao took the letter from Ling'er and opened it.
"How could this happen? Who is that?" Who kidnapped Yu'er and sent Minghua here? Could it be...
"Yan boy, how did your people get this news?"
"It was a shadow guard who reported it."
"Where's the shadow guard? Call him over." Ling'er felt that there was something strange about this matter. Ling'er felt that the person who took Yu'er away seemed to have deliberately led the two parties here to create misunderstandings and trigger a fight.
As Ling'er expected, the shadow guard who delivered the message was actually a fake. The real No. 7 was a corpse that had been dead for more than two hours.
"If it's not this woman, then who killed my precious grandson?"
"Hahahaha, what a bunch of idiots." An old voice echoed in the void.
"Who, who is it?"
Yao Lao waved his hand, "Don't be nervous, this is a video transmission."
The so-called sound transmission video is similar to the telephone we think of. It is two connected sound transmission stones, plus a special talisman, which can transmit sound thousands of miles away.
"If you want to save your son, then come to the top of the strange mountain, the gate of the spiritualists. Remember, you can only go alone, otherwise, don't blame me for being cruel and ruthless." The message ended here.
"The top of the strange mountain, the gate to the spiritual beings? What is this place?" Everyone present was confused by the name of this place, as if they had never heard of it before.
"Girl, that's the legendary Taoist Ling family."
Ling'er turned around and looked directly at Yao Lao, but she didn't see his mouth move.
"Don't look at me. I'm using the sound transmission technique. The Daozhe Ling family is a special family. Their residence is unknown to the world. I guess this is why I asked you to go alone."
Taoism... Spiritual family, spiritual heart...
She seemed to understand where the incident came from.
When I left Jun's house before, I forgot about Lingxin.
Lingxin must have informed her family, so they came to seek revenge.
No, if it was just revenge, he should just kill her to silence her. He wouldn't go to such great lengths, risking exposing the Ling family's location, and kidnapping Yu'er to threaten her.
It must be the poison in Lingxin's body, and they have no antidote, so they have to resort to this last resort.
It was good to come here, as she would have a bargaining chip in her hand. But even if she didn't have any bargaining chips, she would go there without hesitation to save Yu'er.
After the group returned to Mo Zhonglou, Ling'er immediately packed her luggage and prepared to go to the Ling family.
I'm afraid Yu'er won't be able to participate in this competition. Whatever, it's just an empty title anyway.
"Then I'll take my leave. Take care everyone and see you in the future." After saying that, Ling'er turned around and left.
"Girl, wait a minute." Yao Lao called her and took out a piece of armor from his arms. "This is armor made of the strongest monster scales. Put it on. It can save your life at a critical moment."
Although the Taoist Ling family is not a royal family, since they can monopolize one side, they must have their strength. Especially the twelve elders, their cultivation is unfathomable. If this girl goes alone, I'm afraid... it's more likely to be dangerous.
In fact, he also wanted to go, but the mainland has its own rules. Unless invited or with a pass, no one is allowed to go to the top of the strange mountain without permission.
And after the previous commotion, his whereabouts must have been exposed. That unfilial disciple might catch him back the next moment, and he really had no power to do anything.
"Also, there is a letter. Take it with you. Read it when you arrive at Qishan. I hope it will be helpful to you." This was the last thing he could do for the mother and daughter.
Ling'er bent her body slightly and bowed to Yao Lao.
"Thank you, Master Yao." We met by chance, but he helped me a lot. Yu'er's vision was indeed good.
Yao Lao's eyes were a little moist, and facing Ling'er's gift, he felt even more guilty.
"Girl, don't be like this. Actually, I, an old man, also have a lot of responsibility for this matter. If I hadn't taken Yu'er out and failed to protect him, there wouldn't be..."
