"General Chen."
Yang Si saw the young general walking over and said hello.
This young general was a captain in the Xixiang City garrison and a member of the Yang Family Army. Coincidentally, he happened to be one of the few members of the Yang Family Army that Yang Si knew.
Hearing this, the young general raised his head in confusion and saw Yang Si smiling instantly: "Hey, Fourth Young Master, you called me?"
"Yes, what happened? Why is Xixiang City under martial law?" Yang Si looked at the young general in confusion and asked.
"Four Young Masters, you don't know?" the young general asked doubtfully. The news has spread all over Xixiang City.
"We just went out to Jingxinshi to burn incense this morning, and we just came back." Yang Si said with a smile.
Hearing this, the young general understood: "That's it, Fourth Young Master, today in Xixiang City, more than twenty children disappeared."
"More than twenty children?!" Yang Si was stunned when he heard this.
"So many people disappeared on the same day?!" Yang Si said in confusion.
"Yes!" The young general nodded: "The most important thing is, according to the statistics compiled by the Governor, one or two children have disappeared one after another in the past few days."
"However, there were only one or two, and I didn't pay much attention to them at first. I just thought they were lost or something."
"As a result, more than 20 people disappeared all of a sudden today, so Xixiang City is under martial law, and I don't know if those 20 children are still in the city." The young general said with some emotion.
"The general is on an expedition, and some guys are restless." The young general said helplessly.
Hearing this, Yang Si also nodded with emotion.
Indeed, why do I feel that as soon as my cheap dad leaves, all kinds of monsters and monsters will appear in Xixiang City.
Exploring the General's Mansion at night, he attacked himself, the fourth son of the Yang family, and the disappearance of this group of children.
"Thank you for your hard work, General Chen. Please keep a close eye on him." Yang Si bowed his hand to the young general.
"Don't worry, needless to say, this is a matter of humble duty." The young general also bowed his hands in response.
Later, Yang Si took Chu Yi and Xiao Yanzi into Xixiang City.
Sure enough, as soon as I returned to Xixiang City, I heard people around me discussing this matter.
Families with children all lock their children tightly in the house.
I am afraid that the next child to be kidnapped will be my own child.
Yang Si and Chu Yi looked at each other: "Let's go back first and tell mother what happened today."
"Okay, I don't know how Master Ling is doing." Chu Yi said.
"Don't worry, eighth-level warriors are not that prone to accidents." Yang Si was not too worried about Taoist Master Ling Yu.
. . .
When Yang Si and Chu Yi returned home, they found that Taoist Master Ling Yu was already waiting for them at the door.
"When did you come back, Taoist Master Ling?!" Chu Yi looked at Ling Yu in confusion.
She was worried about her feelings for nothing.
"Haha, when I came back, I saw you at the gate of the city. Seeing the martial law, in order to avoid the trouble of investigation, I came back directly." Ling Yu waved the whisk in his hand and said with a smile,
Hearing this, Yang Si was slightly speechless. The emotional martial law in Xixiang City was completely equivalent to non-existence for martial arts masters.
"I wish you were safe. I made a miscalculation today. I didn't expect that an Eighth Level warrior would take action directly." Ling Yu glanced at Yang Si meaningfully.
Yang Si did not dodge at all, and smiled and cupped his hands to Ling Yu: "Thank you for your hard work, Taoist priest, guarding me all the way."
"Hahaha, it's just a matter of loyalty when someone entrusts you." Ling Yu said with a smile.
"Let's go back first and talk to Princess Mingyue about the matter." Ling Yu said.
"That's what I meant." Yang Si nodded.
. . .
. . .
"So, the other party's target is Si'er?" Xia Yuerong looked at Yang Si and said after hearing this.
Ling Yu and Yang Si told Xia Yuerong everything that happened today.
Of course, in the part about the men in black, Yang Si only said that he had a lucky escape and did not directly state that he killed the two men in black.
"Na Si'er, you'd better stay at home during this period and stop running around for the time being." Xia Yuerong looked at Yang Si with some fear.
If she knew what happened today, she would definitely not agree to it. After all, it would be too risky.
But now that everything has happened, and Yang Si has returned safely, Xia Yuerong can't say much.
At least he knew the other party's purpose, which was Yang Si.
Hearing this, Yang Si was a little puzzled: "Stay at home every day, don't be bored to death."
"Ever since your father led the troops on the expedition, Xixiang City has been a little unstable." Xia Yuerong sighed.
"I will write another letter with your uncle later and ask your uncle to send some royal experts over." Xia Yuerong looked at Yang Si and said.
Don't forget, Yang Si's identity is among the highest dignitaries in Daxia Kingdom.
"I'm curious, what is the other person trying to do by catching me?" Yang Si asked in confusion.
Yang Si searched through the memory of the original owner to see if he found anything special.
Judging from the performance of the two men in black, the other party should be preparing to capture him alive.
Hearing this, Ling Yu also fell into deep thought.
There is nothing special about this Yang family, although he should be hiding something.
Xia Yuerong was also a little puzzled. There seemed to be nothing worthy of those people's fight in his own restaurant.
However, an eighth-level warrior was directly dispatched to attack the incompetent Yang family Shiro.
Although Yang Si's two poems were widely circulated in Xixiang City during this period, they are not remembered by people just because of the two poems.
Although, in this era, there are no immortal poets or saints of poetry, there are also many poems that have been passed down from generation to generation.
If it were just for poetry, it would be impossible for this thing to send out an Eighth Realm master.
"This is still unclear. There is nothing special about the Fourth Young Master except for the body of leakage." Speaking of the body of leakage, Ling Yu gave Yang Si a meaningful look.
Xia Yuerong also frowned in thought.
"By the way, there is also the matter of the missing child in Xixiang City." Chu Yi said at this time.
"I have asked the city defense garrison to fully cooperate with this matter." Xia Yuerong raised his head after hearing this.
"Many of the generals and masters of the Yang family have basically followed on the expedition. Now the Yang family has nothing to do about this matter."
Xia Yuerong took a breath and said, "I just hope that the governor can do more."
Xixiang City is also the fiefdom of the Yang family. If something like this happens in the fiefdom, the Yang family is also responsible.
However, Yang Yanxuan had just led his troops on an expedition, and an unknown force was secretly targeting the Yang family. At this juncture, the Yang family had no good solution.
"Fourth Young Master, please don't go out these days. Old Xue should be on his way here too." Ling Yu waved his whisk: "When Old Xue arrives, he should be able to help a little."
"That's all." Xia Yuerong nodded.
Hearing this, Yang Si was a little curious about the old Xue that Ling Yu mentioned.
Judging from his appearance, he must be an eighth-level warrior.
As for Ling Yu, Yang Si had seen some descriptions of him in some Jianghu gossip books.
The Iron Sword Divine Calculator, Ling Daozi, is a master of the Eighth Realm.
He comes from a major Taoist sect. When he was young, he was a Taoist disciple. However, for unknown reasons, he never returned to the sect. Except for rushing to the sect's aid when it was in trouble, he spent the rest of his time wandering around the world.
Yang Si still has a good impression of Taoism. In the Jianghu game, Yang Si has joined a Taoist sect.
It is different from the Buddhists who think about getting something for nothing all day long.
Taoism almost never disturbs the people, and never gets something for nothing. Taoist priests can make a living by having a skill when they go down the mountain, while monks go down the mountain to ask for alms wherever they go.
Buddhism's theory of past life and afterlife is illusory, and no matter how you listen to it, it is just something to fool people.
The Taoist pursuit of freedom in this life is indeed real.
