Taking away my family's luck? I won't stand it!

Yue Yuan frowned, his eyes turned cold, and his voice was cold with murderous intent.

"How could you fall into Yiqing's trap? This is ridiculous."

Qingfeng and Qingyang shuddered, and like a little girl, they quickly looked up at Yueyuan, who was in a rage, and stammered, "I...we heard...Yiqing would appear in Taicheng...so we wanted...to capture Yiqing alive in Taicheng, but we didn't expect...to fall into his trap..."

Qingfeng and Qingyang looked at Yueyuan, whose face was getting darker and darker. As they spoke, their voices became smaller and smaller, as soft as a mosquito's. Yueyuan could not hear anything he said next.

"Who said Yiqing would appear in Taicheng?" Yue Yuan heard something wrong as he listened.

"Of course they are our people." Qingfeng responded without thinking. Then he seemed to react and stared at Yueyuan with wide eyes. "Are you saying that our people betrayed us?"

"I don't know. I've been out of the sect for too long, and I don't understand many things. As for whether the people sent by the sect to work as undercover agents in the "Tracing" organization betrayed us, it's hard to say. The "Tracing" organization is mysterious and uses endless methods. Whether it was our people who betrayed us is unknown."

Yue Yuan looked calm and spoke slowly.

Qingfeng and Qingyang thought that this junior brother was about to explode. They waited for a long time but Yue Yuan didn't teach them a lesson. They looked at him blankly while listening to Yue Yuan's words and didn't react for a long time.

Yue Yuan ignored them and walked straight to Yaoyao and sat down. He stretched out his bony hand and asked, "Do you have any roast chicken left? I'm hungry too."

Yaoyao took a bite of the chicken leg, looked at Yueyuan's hand, blinked her big round eyes, and put a live chicken in Yueyuan's hand with her chubby hand, "Here, skin it and roast it."

Yue Yuan looked at the big rooster that was so obedient in his hands, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

"Nothing cooked?"

"There they are." Yaoyao pointed to a circle of scorched chickens on the fire and said in a baby voice, "Those chickens are cooked. It's up to you whether you want to eat them or not."

Yue Yuan looked in the direction that Yaoyao's chubby finger was pointing. He saw charred chickens being roasted on the fire. The remaining chicken fat was all black, which made him look unappetizing.

He said decisively, "Then I'll bake it myself."

Yaoyao held the roast chicken and ate it with relish, ignoring Yue Yuan.

Qingfeng and Qingyang slowly walked to Yueyuan's side and sat down, watching him deal with the big rooster.

The atmosphere was very quiet, with only the sizzling sound of the meat on the fire.

Yue Yuan saw that the chicken was cooked, so he broke off a chicken leg and began to eat it slowly. When he finished eating the chicken, it was already dawn.

"Let's go." Yaoyao stood up and walked ahead with a swagger.

Xiao Ci and Yue Yuan walked alongside her, followed by Qingfeng, Qingyang, Kunhe and other disciples of the sect.

Yaoyao took a few steps before she remembered the people of Taicheng. She looked at Yueyuan with her big, round eyes and asked, "By the way, where have you resettled the people of Taicheng?"

"He was sent to the provincial capital for resettlement." Yue Yuan said.

Yaoyao nodded. County Magistrate Huang was one of their own, and it would be nice to have the people of Taicheng settled in the provincial capital.

"Where is the prefect of Taicheng? Why haven't I seen him along the way?" Yaoyao asked again.

"Before we escorted the common people to the city, we had already visited the prefectural governors' residences. Inside, only the remains of servants and maids remained, with no sign of the governors or their families. I think they must have escaped from Taicheng." Yue Yuan thought for a moment and added, "The residences of those high-ranking officials all have a secret passage leading out of the city. I'm sure they escaped through that secret passage."

Yaoyao looked at the tragedy in Taicheng. There were corpses of the elderly, the weak, women and children, as well as the bodies of officers and soldiers on the ground. When she first entered the city, the first thing she saw was officers and soldiers protecting the people as they fled, while the prefect they trusted had already fled.

"Don't worry, we will report the Taicheng incident to the emperor truthfully. We are also in the process of arresting the Taicheng prefect. Once the Taicheng incident is resolved, we will arrange for people to repair the houses in Taicheng and compensate the people." Yue Yuan followed Yaoyao's gaze and found that she was looking at the corpse on the ground. Knowing what she was thinking, he explained.

When Taicheng was in trouble, the prefect who was responsible for protecting the city did not think about saving the people, but instead fled for his life first. He should be punished.

Yaoyao didn't say anything and continued searching for Yiqing along the streets of Taicheng.

................................

Shen Chulan turned over and habitually touched the place beside her, but she didn't feel any soft body. She opened her eyes dazedly and found that there was no Yaoyao's body beside her, only Guoan who was sleeping at the end of the bed.

He turned around and quickly patted Yuan Laoer's face, and asked anxiously: "Where's Yaoyao?"

Yuan Laoer felt someone slapping him in the face while he was sleeping. Just as he was about to say that he wanted to sleep a little longer, he heard his wife's anxious voice.

"what happened?"

"Yaoyao is missing." Shen Chulan was very anxious.

"Could it be that his mother took him away?" Yuan Laoer guessed.

When Shen Chulan heard this, she felt a little relieved. She quickly got out of bed, put on her shoes, and went to check on Old Lady Liu's room.

I happened to run into Old Lady Liu face to face.

"Where's Yaoyao?"

"Where's Yaoyao?"

The two spoke at the same time, staring at each other.

Old Lady Liu asked Shen Chulan, "Isn't Yaoyao sleeping at your place?"

Why ask her where Yaoyao is?

"Mom, didn't Yaoyao sleep with you?" Shen Chulan asked again without giving up.

"Isn't Yaoyao sleeping with you?" Old Mrs. Liu saw something was wrong from Shen Chulan's expression and asked quickly.

"Yaoyao isn't sleeping in bed, so I came to ask you."

Shen Chulan looked at Old Lady Liu's room and found that Yaoyao was indeed not in the room.

Old man Yuan walked out of the study and said something.

"See if Xiao Hei is here. If he's not here, he must have taken Xiao Hei out."

Xiao Hei and Yaoyao are inseparable every day. If Yaoyao is not around, Xiao Hei will definitely not be around either.

"Xiao Hei, Xiao Hei."

“Xiao Hei…”

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law started looking for Xiao Hei.

Ye Wan came out of the kitchen and said to Shen Chulan and Old Lady Liu, "I didn't see Xiaobai and Xiaoqing when I got up. Xiaohei was sleeping in Chulan's room. If you didn't see Xiaohei there, he must have gone with Yaoyao."

Ling'er came out of the room and frowned. She and the young master went to bed very late last night and didn't see Xiaohei and Yaoyao go out?

She looked at Yuan Laosi who came out of the study and asked silently.

Yuan Laosi shook his head, indicating that he didn't see it either.

At this moment, Guoan got up from the bed, rubbed his eyes, and looked at Yuan Laoer who was looking for Xiaohei in the room. He asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Dad, what are you looking for?"

"Yaoyao and Xiaohei have gone to some unknown place. We are looking for them." Yuan Laoer didn't look up, but rummaged through the cupboards and lifted the table.

Guoan's eyes widened, his face filled with anger.

"Yaoyao is going out without me this time!"

Yuan Laoer looked up at him with a burning gaze. Guoan quickly covered his mouth and stared at him.

It’s over, it’s over. Daddy and Mommy are going to find out that I go out to play every night.

"You guys sneak out to play every night?"
