Qiao Jiaojiao felt very sad when she heard this.
She knew that the child in front of her was really frightened.
Also, Sister Xiaolan?
According to Sanyi, both Zhufeng and Uncle Zhou knew that sister Xiaolan, and she seemed to know some great secrets, otherwise Uncle Zhou would not be easily threatened.
Qiao Jiaojiao had a clear idea of the whole incident. It seemed that these children were safe and sound, thanks to sister Xiaolan who worked so hard.
After hearing this, Qiao Bo asked in a low voice: "Miss, what do you want now?"
Sanyi originally thought that Qiao Bo was the person in charge, but he didn't expect that he would ask his little sister for her opinion instead.
Sanyi was stunned when he saw Qiao Jiaojiao's petite appearance. He didn't know who to ask for help.
Qiao Jiaojiao's thoughts were flowing, and then she said:
"Uncle Qiao, these children should not be in danger for the time being, but it's hard to tell about Sister Xiaolan. Let's go look for her again and hope to save her!"
When Sanyi heard Qiao Jiaojiao's words, his eyes widened suddenly and he subconsciously exclaimed:
"Uncle Qiao? The Qiao family! Are you the Qiao family?"
So the uncle and little sister in front of me are from the Qiao family! It's the Qiao family who has been helping them!
But...but the reason why those thieves broke into the almshouse and committed mischief tonight was to threaten the Qiao family with them!
They just wrote letters of thanks during the day, but they didn't expect to encounter such a disaster at night!
Sanyi was extremely confused. He was still young, and he had too much fear accumulated in his heart.
Mother Rong was his god and sister Xiaolan was his teacher. The sky fell overnight and everything was gone. He couldn't control his emotions at all.
Qiao Jiaojiao didn't expect that Sanyi, who was fine just now, would scream out, her heart suddenly lifted, and she looked steadily at the door.
Qiao Bo shouted in his heart that something was wrong and hurriedly covered Sanyi's mouth.
Sanyi was slightly startled at first, and then his eyes widened in horror.
It's over, has he done something bad?
The next moment, dense footsteps came from the yard, and a low-spirited voice sounded:
"Who is inside! Mr. Zhou, I seem to have heard the word 'Qiao Family'!"
It suddenly became noisy outside.
After receiving Master Zhou's orders, they were about to grab a few children and use them to threaten the tough-talking woman. Unexpectedly, there was a sound coming from the room!
Qiao Bo's expression changed, and he immediately let go of Sanyi. He turned around and walked to the door and glanced. There were at least a dozen people outside!
"Miss, I've been discovered!"
Sanyi knew that he had caused trouble and kept saying sorry, his face turned pale and trembling with fear.
Qiao Jiaojiao glanced at him and sighed secretly, but her expression didn't change much.
Since she dared to go into danger alone with Qiao Bo, she naturally prepared for the worst and thought of countermeasures.
"Uncle Qiao, don't worry, our main task is to delay!"
Qiao Jiaojiao knew from the beginning that she and Qiao Bo alone could not take away so many children quietly.
What's more, her small body is someone who needs to be taken care of.
The reason why she insisted on coming was not only to confirm whether these children were safe and sound, but also because she was afraid that Zhufeng and the others would become angry after their failure and vent their anger on the children in the workhouse when they retreated!
What she and Qiao Bo have to do is to protect these children before their eldest brother arrives with his people!
Uncle Qiao counted carefully and found that there were a total of sixteen people outside. If it was just him and the lady, he could naturally take the lady away with all his strength.
But with so many kids in the house...
But if they really want to do what the lady said, how can they delay time?
"Is there any Qiao family in the house?"
Outside the house, an old voice sounded, with a hint of cruelty and excitement.
Qiao Jiaojiao's expression changed slightly when she heard this.
There is only one old man beside the second prince, Uncle Zhou who is responsible for contacting the Northern Kingdom!
Just now I heard someone shout "Master Zhou", it must be Uncle Zhou staying in the almshouse, while Zhufeng led the dead men to intercept and kill the elder brother!
Seeing that Qiao Jiaojiao had no instructions, Uncle Qiao didn't speak.
Uncle Zhou waited for a while outside the house and immediately lost his patience.
"Be silent, right? Then I will set fire to this room and see if you can get out!"
The secret guard standing next to Uncle Zhou changed his face when he heard this, and hurriedly whispered:
"Master Zhou, Master Feng said, don't hurt those children."
"idiot!"
Uncle Zhou scolded angrily. Compared with the way he groveled in front of the second prince, he seemed to have lost a bit of his age at this moment, and even his back was much straighter.
"Zhufeng is so indecisive and a woman's kindness! The people hiding inside are the Qiao family. If you kill one of them, you will make a profit!"
The secret guard's face turned extremely ugly when he heard this. He pursed his lips for a long time, but he did not dare to disobey Uncle Zhou.
When Qiao Jiaojiao heard this, she clenched her fists and felt extremely angry.
[Then Zhufeng still has humanity and a bottom line at least. This Zhou Bo is not of my race. I am afraid he would like to destroy the flowers of our Yong Dynasty! 】
"People inside, listen! I count to three. If you don't come out obediently, I will set fire to the house and let all those children be buried with you!"
Uncle Zhou threatened, Qiao Jiaojiao stood on tiptoes and saw a light source approaching, it should be a torch!
Qiao Bo's heart skipped a beat and he turned to look at Qiao Jiaojiao.
How to break the situation now?
On the eldest young master's side, at least they have to wait until Qiao Jiu arrives with Daxing County's policemen before they can quickly determine the winner.
By then Zhufeng will retreat with his people, and the situation in the courtyard will probably become even more critical!
"one!"
Uncle Zhou's voice sounded coldly, with a sense of excitement that the overall situation was in control.
"two!"
Qiao Bo hurriedly turned around and was about to pick up Qiao Jiaojiao, but Qiao Jiaojiao stopped him and whispered:
"Uncle Qiao, no matter what you see or hear in a while, don't panic or be afraid. I will explain it to you personally afterwards!"
Qiao Jiaojiao's face was extremely solemn, and she looked at Uncle Qiao without any hint of panic.
Qiao Bo was stunned for a moment.
Now that there are dozens of children's lives tied behind him, even he, a veteran who has experienced many battles, has his heart pounding. What can the young lady do?
"three!!!"
"Wait!"
An extremely clear voice suddenly sounded, not only Uncle Zhou outside the house, but also Uncle Qiao inside the house trembled!
