and explained slowly, "I knew you'd ask this, Tangtang. Unless I attack the capital in the name of Lan Guo, with Lan Guo's soldiers, and every city I capture must be planted with Lan Guo's flag and be...Niu Niu searched all around, he rushed out and looked in the other rooms and outhouses. Finally, he still didn't believe it so he ran back to the house and searched again.

Finally, it was truly confirmed that the person was gone. He suddenly burst into tears and wailed tearfully toward the outside, “Mom and Dad, it’s bad! The handsome brother is missing!”

"!"

The biggest reaction came from Zhuangzhuang. Hearing what Niuniu said, he rushed in without hesitation. When he confirmed that Mo Junyi was really gone, his face turned pale instantly, and he collapsed on the ground, muttering lifelessly, "It's over."

Niu Niu was sobbing loudly, her cries so powerful that the couple who rushed in behind her didn't hear Zhuang Zhuang's murmurs.

After they walked in, they saw that their two sons were also giving them a headache.

But after they had searched the entire house, they found no sign of the young master. Their hearts sank immediately.

They also planned to have the young master take them out of the mountains, hoping for a completely different life in their later years.

After learning that the young master's clothes could be sold for such a high price, they became even more certain that his family background was definitely extraordinary.

But now the young master seemed to have vanished into thin air, they hadn't seen either of them leave at all.

What on earth is going on

Could it be that after receiving the silver and having enough money, he's turning his back on them, wanting to get rid of them quickly

But how could they possibly think, no matter how hard they looked, that this young master would turn out to be such a white-eyed wolf

Just as the two were in disarray, Niu Niu's father suddenly saw something peeking out from under the blanket. He rushed over and took a look—it was actually the pouch that Zhuangzhuang had brought back today.

Niu Niu also saw this and immediately rushed over, quickly snatching the handbag. She opened it to see what was inside, and her eyes widened in disbelief.

This... here, it's not just silver, there's also that piece of gold.

That said, the young master left, but he didn't take away the silver that was exchanged for Zhuangzhuang.

The couple looked at each other, their eyes wide with disbelief.

But on second thought, it seemed more like the young master's character to leave the money behind as a reward.

But the two of them still couldn't figure out how, in just a short time, Young Master had disappeared. Where could he have gone

This purse... Was it intentionally left behind by him, or has he simply forgotten it here Will he come back for it later

One question after another swirled in both of their minds, leaving them with furrowed brows.

Niuniu also saw the things in his purse, and his crying stopped the instant he saw the silver and gold.

Just as the three of them fell silent, a moment later, they heard Chóngchóng's mumbling from his mouth, "Now it's over."

Only then did the couple notice something was wrong with their eldest son. They exchanged glances and walked over, squatting down in front of Zhuangzhuang.

The woman's hand gently rested on his head, "Zhangzhang, what's wrong What happened"

"Mother, everything is gone. He got away, we lost everything."

“......”

The couple listened to this, utterly dumbfounded. How could their son Zuo know what he was talking about

The two looked at each other, the man frowning. "What happened Just tell me."

Zhuang Zhuang was deeply remorseful at this moment and confessed everything he had previously concealed.

After he bid farewell to the county magistrate's daughter, he hadn't walked far when he was knocked unconscious by a stranger. The stranger then took him to a place, holding a sword to his neck. If he didn't answer the stranger's questions truthfully, his life would be in danger.

He hadn't expected the man to ask about the young master; that piece of gold was given to him by the man.

That man interrogated him closely about the young master, especially when another person arrived, who was carrying a portrait of the young master.

After he confirmed that the young master in his house was the one they were looking for, one of them gave him a gold piece and told him that as long as he watched over them well after returning home, what he had in his hand would not be just this gold piece, but endless wealth and glory.

This person in the family is not very closely related to them, he only needs to watch over someone and can bring wealth and honor to their family, why wouldn't he do it

Just how long has it been since he returned The little master of the house has vanished!

He hadn't forgotten, those two had warned him with grim smiles before letting him go. If they came back and didn't find the person they were looking for, forget about wealth and honor, none of his family would live to see another day.

Although he was young, Niu Niu understood everything after Zhuang Zhuang explained. Thinking about his own death, he completely lost control and burst into tears.

The cries were even more pitiful than before.

The couple were already at their wits' end, and coupled with the sound of Niu Niu crying, they felt even more agitated.

Niu Niu's father, as if he couldn't help himself, slapped Zhuang Zhuang across the face and roared, "Who told you to say everything Now it's good, that young master is gone, and the lives of our four are also at stake. How can we possibly get out of this"

After roaring, perhaps he still felt unsatisfied. He raised his hand and slapped Zhuangzhuang hard.

After finishing his own cigarette, he lit another one and pointed it towards Niu Niu. "Stop crying! Your dad's not dead yet, why are you acting like he is Shut your mouth!"

He was so fierce that the two children didn't dare to breathe.

The wife standing nearby was also afraid of her husband's temper. This time, her body trembled slightly. After he finished venting his anger, she stammered:

"Calm down, the head of the household. What should we do now The silver and gold were all taken by the young master, so we have some money now. Why don't we run away Leave this place Otherwise, when those two people Zhuangzhuang mentioned arrive, our family... could we really die here"

Niu Niu's words also made Niu Niu's father come to his senses. Right now, the priority was to stay alive.

Then he glared fiercely at Zhuangzhuang and Niuniu, "What are you waiting for Pack your things quickly."

Changchang is the only one who has seen those two people, and he knows best that if those two people really come looking for them, they will really kill his entire family of four.

Therefore, you have to run, and you have to run fast.

Then he rose to his feet first, ready to dash into the room for his clothes. But he had not taken two steps out of the door when his trembling body took him step by step back.

Niu Niu's father just wanted to roar at his back, wanting to ask what he was dawdling for. But before he could say a word, he saw two people walking towards him step by step.

The two were dressed in nightclothes, with black masks covering their faces, revealing only their eyes, which glinted with malice.

Niu Niu's mother fainted directly from fright, while Niu Niu scrambled to her feet and hid behind his father.

When Niu Niu's father reacted, he immediately knelt down and said, "Hero, spare my life, hero, spare my life. We don't know anything, we don't know anything."ryone shuns.The emperor promised the Ye family that once young master Ye Er held his coming-of-age ceremony, he would make Xiaoqin his concubine and have her bear him children to carry on the lineage....
