"Tomorrow?" Ni Tiezhi was confused after hearing the news.

He didn't worry much about Ye Xi. After all, Ye Xi was so capable that anyone who offended Ye Xi might be in trouble.

But Ni Chen is good-looking and is still a child. If he falls into the hands of the Wang family, the consequences will be disastrous.

Mrs. Wang also looked at the city gate with a worried look, and said to Ni Tiezhi from time to time: "Old man, have you seen your daughter-in-law and grandson?"

Seeing this scene, the soldiers guarding the city gave up the idea of ​​driving them away, and a few of them even said softly, "Poor people."

Old man Wang smoked leaf cigarettes one after another, blaming himself for not bringing Ni Chen to the county town.If he had not brought Ni Chen to the county town, Ye Xi would not have gone looking for his son, and mother and son would not have been locked up in the city unable to get out.

As the night gradually darkened, Old Man Wang had already driven his bullock cart back to the village, while Ni Tiezhi and Wang were still guarding the city gate.

Of course, besides the two of them, there were also relatives of other people who were imprisoned in the city today. Everyone was worried about their children, so they had to guard at the city gate even if they were hungry.

Those who could exchange a few words with their children across the city gate were lucky, but those who had been looking at their children at the city gate for a long time without seeing their own children would all be crying, fearing that something might happen to their loved ones.

Fortunately, there are several tea sheds not far from the city gate. Everyone can sit in the tea sheds to escape the wind and rain.

The owner of the tea shed is also good at business, so he told everyone that they could stay here overnight for an extra five copper coins per person.

Five copper coins was expensive or cheap, and it was just enough that everyone could afford it without feeling distressed, so everyone paid the money comfortably and sat in the tea shed waiting for dawn.

"Old woman, you should lie down on the table and sleep for a while." Ni Tiezhi looked at his old wife distressedly: "I don't know when tomorrow will be."

Wang shook his head: "I'm not sleepy yet. If you want to sleep, you can go to bed first."

Ni Tiezhi also shook his head. There was no news from his daughter-in-law and grandson. How could he sleep?

"Guru Guru~"

The sound of wheels crossing the road was so clear in the darkness tonight.

Everyone in the tea shed looked up and looked in the direction of the sound.

I saw a large, luxurious carriage driving out of the city. The soldiers guarding the city wanted to step forward to check, but they saw the man in black clothes driving the carriage waving a waistband in front of the soldiers' eyes.

The soldiers immediately nodded and bowed, opened the barrier blocking the city gate, and respectfully made way for them: "Sir, please."

As the carriage drove out of the city gate, everyone in the tea shed held their breath and did not dare to breathe out for fear of disturbing the nobles in the carriage.

Everyone was extremely envious of the noble man sitting in the carriage, who could travel unimpeded at such a special time.

Wang and Ni Tiezhi looked at each other and smiled bitterly: This is the benefit of power. It's a pity that they are ordinary people, otherwise it would be a piece of cake to enter Kaiyang County.

At this moment, the curtain of the carriage was opened, revealing the little boy's sculpted face.

"Morning!"

Wang and Ni Tiezhi exclaimed at the same time, jumped up and ran towards the carriage.

"Master! Milk!" Ni Chen saw Ni Tiezhi and Wang running out of the tea shed and shouted excitedly: "Master, milk! I'm here~"

Ni Tiezhi and Wang looked at Ni Chen in red and brocade clothes, and their hearts suddenly fell to the bottom. Could it be that Chen'er was really attracted by a rich and powerful man, and now even his clothes are so expensive?Both of them glanced at each other secretly, and then they both saw clearly the other's decision to save Ni Chen from the hands of these noble people at all costs.

The two of them tiptoed towards the carriage, and they both reached out to pull Ni Chen off the carriage.

"Mom and Dad, why are you at the gate of the city?" The carriage suddenly stopped. Ye Xi's face poked out of the window and saw the probing eyes of those in the tea shed. Ye Xi smiled and said, "It's too cold outside, Mom and Dad. Let’s talk about it after you get in the car, okay?”

Ni Tiezhi and Wang looked puzzled. After Ye Xi got out of the way, they saw that there were only two people in the carriage, Ni Chen and Ye Xi. Their worries were relieved.

The secret guard driving the carriage lifted the curtain and motioned for Ni Tiezhi and Wang to get on the carriage.

The two of them glanced at the secret guard suspiciously, feeling that this person was not simple.

As soon as they got on the carriage, the secret guard drove away, causing everyone in the tea shed waiting to watch the excitement to ask curiously: "What's going on? The people in the carriage are the daughter-in-law and grandson of the old couple just now." ?”

"Why is this different from what they said? Didn't they say that their daughter-in-law and grandson went to the city to buy things and couldn't leave the city?"

"Hey, soldiers, why can they leave the city? Our family can't leave the city yet?"

"Yes! Our family is still waiting at the city gate for you to let us go?"

The soldiers guarding the city did not expect that the people Ni Tiezhi and his wife were waiting for were escorted out of the city by the county magistrate's personal guards. They smiled and replied: "They have the county magistrate's token, do you have it? I'll be there right away." Let them out, if not, continue waiting in the tea shed."

When everyone heard that it was the county magistrate who put the token, everyone swallowed their saliva: They didn't know the county magistrate at all, how could there be a token.

Hey, it’s really annoying to compare people to each other.

As soon as Ni Tiezhi and Wang got on the carriage, they kept looking at Ye Xi and Ni Chen. They saw that both of them were luxuriously dressed. These clothes were made of materials that they had never seen before or heard of.

Ni Tiezhi didn't care that there were secret guards driving the carriage outside, and asked, "Ye Xi, what's going on? Where are you and Chen'er going in the carriage at this time?"

Ye Xi knew that Ni Tiezhi and Wang had misunderstood, and said with a smile: "Mom and Dad, Chen'er and I are just afraid that you will worry, so we went home overnight."

Ni Tiezhi still couldn't believe it: "Such a luxurious carriage is taking you home?"

Wang also asked suspiciously: "Tell me, what is going on?"

Ye Xi lifted the carriage curtain, and Ni Chen pointed at the man driving the carriage with a smile and said, "Grandpa, he is Uncle Sang Huai, and he will be my secret guard from now on."

Ni Tiezhi and Wang looked at Ni Chen with disbelief on their faces.

Ye Xi then explained: "Mom and dad, it's like this. I met the new county magistrate today and found out that he is my eldest cousin. This secret guard Sang Huai was given to Chen'er by my eldest cousin. Yes, his mission from now on is to protect Chen'er. Don't worry, he is quite loyal. In the future, he will not listen to anyone except Chen'er."

"You said the county magistrate is your eldest cousin?" Ni Tiezhi looked at Ye Xi suspiciously: "Do you remember when you left home?"

Ye Xi nodded: "I remember."

Then, Ye Xi told what happened today, only saying that Ni Chen was kidnapped by Wang Jinfu, that she came to ask for help, and then notified Xiao Tai to help.

When Ni Tiezhi and Wang heard that Ni Chen had been caught by Wang Jinfu, they both broke into a cold sweat. (End of chapter)
