C45 Ninth Royal Uncle Robbed

When night fell, they arrived at a village and prepared to find a house to sleep in.

"Dong Dong Dong"

Zichuan opened up a relatively large family.

"Who are you?" An old man opened the door to take a look outside, trembling as he asked.

"Uncle, we are just passing by and want to stay in your house for the night. We will pay you." Zichuan said.

"All of you should hurry up and leave. It's not safe here." The old man said hurriedly.

"Uncle, we will just stay here for the night and leave tomorrow morning. We are all good people, so you don't have to worry about us." Jing Xiaotong hurriedly stepped forward and said.

"Miss, this place is really not safe. It's not like this old man is unreasonable." The old man became anxious.

"Uncle, it's already dark. Where can I go to be a weak girl like you? Besides, there's a dad in the car with legs that aren't agile, wuu." Jing Xiaotong then pretended to wipe her tears away with her hand.

Hearing Jing Xiaotong's words, Ninth Prince, who was on the carriage, awkwardly coughed. Was he that old?

Hearing Ninth Prince coughing, Jing Xiaotong rushed to the side of the carriage and said in a choked voice, "Ah, Daddy, why are you coughing again? Please don't let something happen to you, or else both of you will die too!"

Crown Princess, where's your moral integrity?

"Miss. "Miss, don't cry anymore. Come in quickly." Seeing Jing Xiaotong's pitiful appearance, the old man could not bear to see her. He opened the door and let them in quickly.

When they entered the house, the old man prepared food for them.

Jing Xiaotong was in the middle of eating when she saw the old man looking at her and Dongfang Zhiyue. He raised his sleeves to wipe his tears away.

"Grandma, what's wrong?" Jing Xiaotong asked in surprise.

"It's fine. I only saw the two ladies and I thought of my poor daughter." As he said this, he couldn't stop his tears from rolling down.

"What happened to your daughter?"

"She was taken away by a demon. It's unknown whether she's still alive or not. All the young women from the nearby villages were taken away by it." The woman said as she wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes with her sleeve.

"Miss, all of you should hurry and leave this place tomorrow morning. That demoness specializes in capturing good-looking young women." The old man quickly said with good intentions.

Besides her and the Shuangzhi, Jing Xiaotong thought to herself, could there be other demons? Thinking of this, she hurriedly shook her head, wanting to shake off the thought that she was a monster.

"Oh? "Demons?" Jing Xiaotong narrowed her eyes as she planned to meet the demon. After all, he was from the same village!

"Uncle, when and where does this demon usually appear?" she asked.

"Miss, please don't go to the woods in the north direction of the village. Many of the young men in the village have never come back before." The old man looked at them with concern.

"It's all right, old man, don't worry." Jing Xiaotong consoled.

"After eating, let's go meet this demon." Jing Xiaotong looked at Ninth Prince and then at Yun Zihao.

Ninth Prince's legs were not convenient, Yun Zihao had to protect his little white flower. Thinking of this, she looked at Zichuan and said: "Zichuan, the two of us will go."

"Alright." Zichuan looked at Yun Zihao and then at Jing Xiaotong as he spoke.

"Zichuan, you stay here and protect Zhiyue and Master, Ben." "I'll go." Yun Zihao said.

Jing Xiaotong was a little displeased when she heard what he had to say, but when she thought of his powerful martial arts, she did not refute him. She looked at the old man and asked, "Uncle, can you bring us there?"

"Since you guys are determined to go, I'll lead you guys over, but you guys have to be careful." The old man saw the hot-bloodedness of the young men, and he could not help but hope that he could find his daughter.

After dinner, Zichuan, Dongfang Zhiyue, and Ninth Prince stayed in the house while Jing Xiaotong and Yun Zihao followed the old man into the woods at the northern outskirts of the village.

"Miss, this is the vicinity. Please forgive this old man for being unable to go any further." The old man said.

"Yes, uncle, you can go back first." With that, Jing Xiaotong and Yun Zihao continued to walk deeper into the woods.

"Miss, be careful." The old man's worried words came from behind him.

"I know, we will. Please go back." Jing Xiaotong replied without turning her head.

She took out the crossbow from the Cosmic Bag and tied it to her arm. She had modified that crossbow and replaced the arrow with a long black needle, which could be used several dozen needles at a time. The back of the crossbow had been modified to have a very strong pushing force.

Every time the arrow was fired, the tail of the crossbow would send out a black needle. Three black needles would be shot out consecutively in a triangle shape. It was very powerful and only required one hand to fire.

Furthermore, she had smeared poison all over the black needles. She had never killed anyone before, so what she smeared on them was not a very strong poison, but a medicine that made one's entire body weak.

The first time she saw Yun Zihao, she sneakily attacked him because the silver needles reflected light when shot, so it was easy for people to notice. Therefore, she changed to black, and because it was very easy to avoid a needle, she changed it to three needles each time, shooting out in a triangle shape.

They walked for about an hour and didn't discover anything. After passing through this small forest, they discovered a few continuous mountains. They wandered in front of the mountains for about a quarter of an hour, but to no avail, they could only return to the old man's house.

When they returned to the old man's living room, they found Dongfang Zhiyue, Zichuan, and the old man lying on the ground. Yun Zihao quickly looked around and said, "It's alright, they were just drugged."

"Yun Zihao, Ninth Royal Uncle is gone." Jing Xiaotong said anxiously.

Yun Zihao turned around and found that only the wheelchair was there.

"It seems that we've fallen into a trap of luring the tiger out of its lair, but the old man doesn't look like a bad person." Jing Xiaotong said after some thought.

Yun Zihao woke them up with a bucket of water in the yard. It was Jing Xiaotong's first time seeing the crown prince carrying water on his back, but she wasn't in the mood to appreciate it.

They woke up one by one. Yun Zihao grabbed the old man's neck and asked, "Tell me, where did you kidnap the people on the wheelchair?"

The old man became anxious and said fearfully, "Young master, I did not kidnap that lord."

"Why did you trick us into going to the woods?" Jing Xiaotong asked.

I didn't lie to you, there was a girl that went missing in our village, we found the missing person's things in the end, then the young men went to hunt for the demon, they all went there too, they all disappeared, I don't know where the demon is, if you don't believe me, you can ask the other families in the village, and you can find out if I'm lying, and besides, I have no enmity with you, why would I harm you? The old man finished speaking in one breath.

Seeing that the old man's sincere expression didn't seem like he was lying, Yun Zihao let him go.

Why did the demons abduct Ninth Royal Uncle but not Dongfang Zhiyue? Wasn't she a lady who was kidnapped before? A few question marks popped in Jing Xiaotong's head. However, she was smart enough not to ask, as some people would be unhappy if she did.

"Let's go look." With that, Jing Xiaotong turned around and left, and Yun Zihao followed her without hesitation.

They went to the woods again, turned and turned, and finally returned to the mountains they had seen.

"Let's find out if there are any caves." Since it was a monster, it must be the same as her and the Shuangzhi, who liked to live in a cave.

"But why did the demons kidnap Ninth Royal Uncle? Weren't the demons only kidnapping women? "Could it be that someone else kidnapped Ninth Royal Uncle?" Jing Xiaotong couldn't help but ask the question that was on her mind.

"…" Yun Zihao couldn't think of anyone who wanted to kidnap Ninth Royal Uncle, so he was silent.

"If only I had a hunting dog, I would know which way the person who kidnapped Ninth Royal Uncle went." Jing Xiaotong sighed and said to herself, having already gotten used to his schadenfreude.

"No matter what, we have to find the demon first and know if the one who kidnapped us is someone else." Yun Zihao slowly said.

The two of them walked up the mountain and searched for a long time, but to no avail.

Jing Xiaotong thought of the cave she lived in before. From below, it looked like a dense bush, but it was actually a cave.

With this thought, she began to search for dense underbrush. She really found it. She dug through the dense vines and found a cave as tall as a person.

The two walked in. The cave was very large and was a natural stone cave with a pond inside. Around the pond were irregular stone pillars similar to stalactites. Further ahead was a stone wall with two holes in it.

"Which hole?"

"Go to that..."

Jing Xiaotong and Yun Zihao asked at the same time as they looked at each other. For the first time, they looked at each other calmly and looked away helplessly.

"We'll split up and search." Jing Xiaotong said.

"This won't do, it's too dangerous to separate. I don't even know if the other party is a demon or a human." Yun Zihao said.

"Then we'll use the stone scissors to represent the left side and you the right side. Whoever wins can go to the other side." Jing Xiaotong said.

Yun Zihao looked at her blankly and said, "Ok."

Then they saw Icemountain's comical face playing with a rock scissor cloth, and Jing Xiaotong won and they chose the left.

The cave was only as wide as a person. Yun Zihao was walking in front while Jing Xiaotong was walking behind. Suddenly, she thought of something and pulled Yun Zihao's arm, signaling him to step back.

Yun Zihao was puzzled, but he still followed her out.

"We're not going in, let them come out and find us. This cave is so narrow, only one person can go in and out. It's very dangerous." Jing Xiaotong stared at the hole and said, she didn't notice that her hand was still on Yun Zihao's arm.

"Throw a rock inside and try it." Jing Xiaotong said.

When Jing Xiaotong heard the sound, she pulled him to the outside of the cave to pick up firewood. They put the firewood at the hole on the left and started to light the fire, Jing Xiaotong squatted beside the fire, lifted up her shirt and fanned it with all her might. Yun Zihao continuously brought in firewood from the outside.

After a long time, he heard a faint sound coming from the hole. Smoke was drifting out from the hole on the right.

"The two holes are open, haha." Jing Xiaotong looked at him and giggled.

Yun Zihao was amazed to see her squatting down and fanning the fire with her clothes. This was something that the most respected princess in a country would do. She was smirking at him with a smirk on her face. He only felt that Jing Xiaotong was very cute at this moment.

After a while, he saw six men running out of the hole on the right while coughing. All of them looked haggard and weak.
