Chapter 165: Yangzhou Crisis, Child Disappears
Rumble, rumble...

The people who were busy in the pharmacy in the front yard were all startled by the sudden explosion and subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound.

"What is this sound?"

"Is it a landslide?"

"very scary!"

Everyone in the hall was curious, but Ji Mo was the most stable one. He did not stop his movements and comforted everyone, "Don't panic. If something happens, someone will come and report it. We will know soon. Uncle Cheng's leg is the most important thing right now."

Although Li Yaoguang and others were also worried, they became calm when they saw Ji Mo was so calm. At this moment, the manager of the villa ran in in a hurry.

"Master."

It was obvious that something was wrong. Ji Mo stopped what he was doing and looked at the manager.

"We are not outsiders. Tell me what you want to say."

The steward wiped his sweat off his forehead and said hurriedly, "Master, something terrible has happened. We just received news that Hu Di bypassed the first line of defense in Pengcheng, robbed our Dajing military warehouse, stole gunpowder and attacked Yangzhou. The noise just now was caused by the gunpowder Hu Di threw when he attacked the city. Now the two northwest gates are already tight. When I came here, all the officials in Yangzhou fled. Master, Yangzhou is in danger."

"what!"

Everyone present was shocked. Cheng Su, who was sitting in a wheelchair, almost jumped over in anxiety. The servant holding the basin of medicine was so shocked that he almost knocked over the basin in his hand. Even Li Yaoguang was stunned.

Firstly, he was surprised that Hu Di’s attack on the city was so sudden. Secondly, he was shocked. Did Dajing already have gunpowder at that time?
What is even more puzzling is that Yangzhou had been peaceful and prosperous all along. This sudden siege was so strange that there should have been no trace left. Moreover, wasn't the theft in the military arsenal reported to the combat troops?

Another thing is that since the enemy dared to attack, they must have a large number of people. With so many people, didn't anyone in Yangzhou City find out? What do the people in Yangzhou City do for a living? What do the people in the Dajing court do for a living?
"This is how to do?"

Everyone in the room was anxious, Li Yaoguang was also worried sick, but Ji Mo was the only one who remained calm.

After hearing the bad news, he glanced at the person who reported it, nodded to indicate that he understood, and continued to calmly concentrate on finishing the work at hand. Then he washed his hands and asked the manager for the details he knew.

Li Yaoguang and his family of three also listened attentively with concern.

At this time, someone came in and reported that someone outside the courtyard wanted to see Li Yaoguang. Li Yaoguang guessed who wanted to see him at this time. But he was surprised to see that the people who were led in were Gu Qing and Lu Qing.

"Gu Dashi, Mr. Lu, why are you here?"

Gu Qing and Lu Qing were so anxious that they didn't bother to exchange pleasantries and went straight to the point.

"Miss Li, something bad has happened. I just received news that Yangzhou City is in trouble. When I arrived, the rich and powerful in the city had already fled. The city is in chaos. You should quickly pack up your things and take your family with you. We have a boat that will go from the canal to the river. Once we enter the river, we will be safe. Hurry, or it will be too late!"

He actually came here to take me away!
Li Yaoguang was touched by the other party's loyalty in the face of adversity, and looked at Ji Mo for advice. Ji Mo had just learned everything from the steward, and was looking at him, so he naturally understood Gu Qing's intention. Seeing Li Yaoguang looking at him, Ji Mo said, "The situation in the city is indeed not good. Sister Guang, you should go back and clean up first. I also need to make arrangements here. We will meet later. Let's go by water together. Be quick."

"it is good."

Knowing that the situation was extremely urgent and Ji Mo was not alone, since he was there, everything in Jiqitang in Yangzhou City and the other courtyards had to be arranged. Without wasting any time, Li Yaoguang nodded and pushed his uncle and aunt to leave, preparing to go back to the courtyard where they were staying to pick up his cousin, and the two children set off immediately with the BMW.

Seeing this, Gu Qing hurriedly followed Li Yaoguang to see if he could help in any way.

After hurriedly arriving at the courtyard where they were staying, the family split up and started working on the tasks that Li Yaoguang had assigned them on the way here.

As a result, Li Yaoguang was secretly putting away the belongings she had taken out these days into the space, when her aunt rushed in in panic, "Guang'er, Guang'er, Yang Ge'er is missing!"

"What!" Li Yaoguang immediately dropped the work in his hands. "How could a good person disappear? I told him before I left that Yangyang is so well behaved, he definitely won't run around. Auntie, did you look for him in the yard? He's not in the yard. Did the little guy go out to play? Did you look for him?"

Yu Meixue was so worried about her son that she burst into tears. She shook her head again and again, "No, nothing. Madam Gu, Mr. Lu and I have searched everywhere but couldn't find him. Guang'er, where do you think Yang Ge'er went?"

"Don't be anxious, auntie. Don't be anxious. The more anxious you are at a time like this, the more mistakes you will make. So, you can go out and look for him. Who knows, the little guy might be tired from playing and is resting somewhere. I'll go ask the servants in the other courtyard." Thinking of the servants she had asked for help before leaving, Li Yaoguang hurried to comfort them.

Yu Meixue instantly gained confidence. Wiping her tears, she ran out quickly, taking one deep step and one shallow step, ready to search the house inside and out again. Li Yaoguang also hurried to look for the maid who had greeted her in front.

The villa was in chaos at this moment. Everyone was busy packing up their belongings and preparing to run away. Li Yaoguang finally found someone. After some inquiries, he found out that Yi Ge'er came to play with Yang Ge'er not long after he left.

It is said that the two children then chatted and laughed, saying that they wanted to rest and asked them not to disturb them. They closed the door, and considering how well-behaved the two children were in the past, they didn't care anymore.

Now the guest asked, the maid in front of her was still wondering, "Miss, aren't the two brothers in the room? Did they fall asleep somewhere because they were tired from playing and you didn't see them?"

Yu Meixue, who happened to be looking for him with her husband and others, heard this and anxiously pointed to the sky and swore, "No, there is no one in the house. I have searched everywhere, inside and outside the house, even in every corner, but there is nothing. Woo woo woo, my Yang'er, where are you?"

The distinguished guest of the host's house was missing, and the maid was terrified. She knelt down and kowtowed. But now was not the time to worry about these things, the important thing was to find the person.

He pulled up the frightened maid, without taking time to comfort her. He said he didn't blame her and told her to go about her business. Then Li Yaoguang grabbed his aunt again.

"Aunt, don't worry. I asked them and they said that Yi Ge'er had been here before. Let's go to the yard where Yi Ge'er and his siblings are staying. Maybe Yang'er went there to play with Yi Ge'er?"

After hearing this, Yu Meixue nodded repeatedly and picked up her skirt to run to the yard where Xu Miaoniang and her brother were.

Cheng Su couldn't help but frown, and was furious: Didn't I tell him to hide from Xu Miaoniang? This child is disobedient, I will punish him if I find him later!

Li Yaoguang did not care about his uncle's strange expression, and hurriedly pushed his uncle with a gloomy face to catch up. Gu Qing and Lu Qing, who were helping to look for people, also followed without saying a word.
