Ye Xi and Ni Chen both practiced until dark before stopping. Ye Xi had reached the peak of a warrior because he had regained a little bit of his destiny, while Ni Chen had become a junior warrior.

After the mother and son had a delicious meal in Xiao Tai's company, they both changed into the clothes Xiao Tai prepared for them.

It is said that Buddhas rely on gold clothes, and people rely on clothes.

After Ni Chen put on a red brocade robe, he was so cute that Ye Xi couldn't take his eyes away.

Ye Xi combed Ni Chen's hair into a bun and picked out a jade crown for him to wear. After inserting the jade hairpin, Ni Chen looked like a little golden boy.

Ni Chen sat happily on the small bench and let Ye Xi dress up.

"Chen'er, come and look in the mirror." Xiao Tai smiled and took the bronze mirror and placed it in front of Ni Chen. The shadows of Ni Chen and Ye Xi were reflected in the mirror.

Ni Chen watched Ye Xi insert a hosta for him, his eyebrows creasing with laughter.

Xiao Tai was also infected by Ni Chen, and he also laughed: "They say that uncle Xiao, Chen'er looks more like your two uncles when they were young."

"Isn't that right?" Ye Xi also pulled Ni Chen in front of him and looked at him carefully: "I also said that Chen'er looks like the eldest brother and the second brother."

"You two, mother and son, are you going to rest in this county office tonight?" Xiao Tai stood up and said, "My subordinates came to report just now and have found some clues. I'll go take a look first."

Ye Xi waved to Xiao Tai: "Cousin, the case is important, you go ahead. I'm also going to take Ni Chen back to Xinghua Village."

Xiao Tai said disapprovingly: "It's so late, what are you doing back?"

Ye Xi said helplessly: "It's Chen'er who wants to go back early because he's worried about his father."

Xiao Tai thought for a moment: "Okay, I'll ask the secret guard to send you off."

Ye Xi hugged Ni Chen and rode back to Xinghua Village with the secret guard.

Ye Xi specifically told Ni Chen on the road: "Chen'er, these clothes are treasures. You can't just give them to others, do you understand?"

Ni Chen nodded in agreement. His eldest uncle is a god in heaven. The things he gives must be treasures. He is reluctant to give them away, not even Sister Baozhu and Brother Baoyu.

In Xinghua Village, Xiyuan, Ni Ge was lying on the bed, not interested in practicing.

Ever since Ye Xi left yesterday, he had been feeling depressed and felt like something was missing around him.But what exactly was missing, he didn't know.

It wasn't until yesterday afternoon that Ni Chen whispered in his ear again: "Dad, why don't you think mother comes back?"

Ni Gecai suddenly realized: It turned out that Ye Xi was missing from his side.

He couldn't help but smile bitterly. Habits were such a terrible thing. It had only been a few days and he couldn't live without Ye Xi?

Probably because Ni Chen had been waiting at the head of the village for a long time without seeing Ye Xi, rumors suddenly spread in the village that Ye Xi had run away with more than 100 taels of silver.

Ni Chen heard what those people said and started arguing with them.

Everyone saw that he was a child with a fierce and fierce look, and even said some random words in front of him.

"Ni Chen, your mother has found a new father for you!"

"Ni Chen, your mother ran away with an old bachelor!"

"Ni Chen, your mother doesn't want you anymore."

Ni Chen couldn't deal with those people, so he went to Old Man Wang crying and begged him to take him into the city. He wanted to find his mother.

Old man Wang joked: "I will set off from the village at [-]:[-] tomorrow morning. If you can catch up, I will take you into the city." Old man Wang really didn't expect that Ni Chen, a four-year-old child, could make it at [-]:[-] a.m. Get out of bed.I was also surprised when I saw Ni Chen at the entrance of the village in the morning.

At that time, someone offered a high price to go to the city for urgent errands. Old Man Wang thought that if Ni Chen was a little kid, he would take more care of him and nothing would happen, so he took Ni Chen on the road.

Who would have thought that Ni Chen arrived at the city gate and slipped into the city while Old Man Wang wasn't paying attention.

Ni Ge didn't see Ni Chen when he woke up in the morning, thinking he was playing in the yard and didn't think much about it.

It was not until breakfast that Ni Chen was nowhere to be found that Ni Ge became anxious.

Ni's father and Ni's mother hurriedly went out to inquire. Someone said that they saw Ni Chen riding Old Wang's ox cart into the city. Ni's father and Ni's mother hurriedly followed him into the county town.

But when they arrived at the city gate, the county was under martial law and no one was allowed to enter or exit.

Old Wang was still sitting in the bullock cart waiting when he was caught by Ni's father and Ni's mother and scolded him: "Brother, how can you bring Ni Chen to the county town? He is so young, what should I do if something happens to him?"

Old Man Wang apologized one after another: "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. Ni Chen promised me not to get off the ox cart, so I brought him to the county town. Who knew he would slip off the cart when I wasn't paying attention. If I had known, he would have slipped off on his own. Let's go, I will send him back to your home even if I don't do business. But Ni Chen just ran for a while, and Mrs. Ye went to look for him, so nothing should happen."

When Ni's father and Ni's mother heard that Ye Xi was looking for Ni Chen, they were no longer worried.

Father Ni pointed at the guards at the city gate and asked, "Brother, what's going on? Why are you not allowed to enter the city?"

Old Man Wang lamented and recounted the news he heard: "I heard that two major events happened in the county today."

When Ni's father and Ni's mother heard that something big had happened, they were all shocked, and their hearts that had just been relieved became anxious again.

"The first thing is that the Qingyang Temple collapsed, revealing a dungeon where many people were imprisoned. I heard that there were men, women, and children."

"Sigh~"

Father Ni and Mother Ni both took a breath: There are many people in Qingyangguan dungeon, including men, women and children. This is not right.

"The second thing is that Wang's wife's house was confiscated by the county magistrate. I heard that the Wang family also imprisoned many people, but there are only beautiful children and good-looking girls in the Wang family's dungeon."

Father Ni and Mother Ni looked at each other: A good-looking girl and a good-looking child, why do you feel that Ni Chen might suffer?

The two of them looked at the high city wall and wished they could jump over it and go in to check it out.

The two asked about Ye Xi's situation in detail. They became even more anxious when they heard that Ye Xi never returned to the city gate after going to find Ni Chen.

Old Man Wang was like a child who had done something wrong, sitting aside with his head bowed. If he hadn't been waiting for news about Ni Chen, he would have driven the carriage back to the village long ago.

Now as long as there is no news about Ni Chen, he dare not leave the city gate.

Although Kaiyang County has closed the door to traffic, people who can't get out will still ask him to bring messages to their families inside the city gate.

Ni Tiezhi walked back and forth at the gate of the city. The soldiers guarding the city looked at him. A few of them chatted in low voices, and then two of them came over and pointed at him with their swords.

"Who are you? Which village are you from? What are you doing here?"

Although Ni Tiezhi was upset, he still said with a smile: "Several military lords, we are from Xinghua Village. My daughter-in-law took her grandson to the city to buy things today. She has not returned home so late, so we, the old couple, came to see her. look."

"No, I just heard from some handlers that something happened in the city today. Old man, I'm worried."

After listening to Ni Tiezhi's words, the soldier suddenly felt sympathy for him in his eyes: "Don't worry. The county magistrate has arrested all the bad guys. If your daughter-in-law and grandson are abducted by the Wang family, wait for your trial. Good case, I should be able to go home tomorrow.”
