Chapter 345: Miao Niang's Scheme to Kidnap People at the Market
However, just when Cai Huahua was tossing and turning in sleep, Li Yaoguang, together with Ji Mo, brought his aunt and family members and happened to step into the gate of Kyoto.

What they didn't know was that they were being targeted the moment they set foot in Kyoto.

Li Yaoguang and his party hurriedly arrived in Kyoto, and the first thing Li Yaoguang did was to inquire about his uncle's news.

After many twists and turns, with the help of her father and brother, she found out that her uncle Cheng Su was not in the capital at the moment, but had gone out of the capital with Shen Yue to fight. However, due to many reasons, he was unable to go with Shen Yue. No one knew where he was at the moment, nor did she know when he would return to the capital. The only thing she knew was that he was safe for the time being, and that news of his victory had reached Kyoto a while ago.

In this situation, the only thing they can do is wait, and where to live is obviously a problem.

Obviously they couldn't go to the old mansion of Marquis Zhenwei, and they didn't have a house in Kyoto, so it was obviously not possible to wait for people to stay in an inn for a long time. So, after repeated invitations from their father and brother, they decided to follow Ji Mo to the Qijitang in Kyoto to stay.

Because of this, the people who were secretly plotting against him went crazy. If for no other reason, it was because of how much Ji Mo cared about Li Yaoguang and the power of Qijitang in both scheming and concealing things, the rats in the dark never found a chance to strike.

Their target was Li Yaoguang. It would be more troublesome to alert Yu Meixue and her group, but if they tried to target Li Yaoguang, the inseparable and incredibly handsome young man by her side would notice something was wrong before they could get close to her. This made it impossible for them to start their attack and they wouldn't have the slightest chance.

As the days passed, news came that Shen Yue's victorious army would arrive in Beijing soon, and Huang Lijin and others became anxious.

When she was extremely anxious, Xu Miaoniang suddenly thought. For the sake of her own future, Xu Miaoniang, who was eager to get rid of her citizenship, get back her indenture and stay away from this evil master, went all out to find Huang Lijin.

The three women who gathered together to plot again became excited and looked at Xu Miaoniang together. After hearing her self-introduction, their eyes lit up, and Huang Lijin even laughed loudly and made the promise.

"Good, very good! I really didn't misjudge you. Don't worry, Miao Niang. As long as this is accomplished, I will grant you all your requests, give you enough gold and silver for the rest of your life, and then set you free, and ensure that you will have no worries in your life."

Cui and Zhou also nodded, "We will also accept your request. Even if your master does not agree, we will protect you."

Xu Miaoniang was deeply moved by this promise.

After all, although Huang Lijin was evil, she had never lied to me. When I took action, she said she would protect me and send me back to Wubao, and she did it. Now, there are two ladies who guarantee it, so...

Xu Miaoniang immediately knelt down in front of the three people and bowed.

"In reply to the masters, I have a brother who is currently with that person and treats him very well. I am willing to go out and find my brother and use him to lure the person out to relieve the masters' worries."

When Cui and Zhou heard this, their eyes lit up, but Huang Lijin's eyes dimmed. She stared at the person kneeling in front of her without blinking, sneering in her heart.

What a slut! She kept such a big thing from me!

OK, that’s great!

But it doesn’t matter. When this matter is over, she will have plenty of ways to deal with the slave.

Huang Lijin suppressed her anger and pretended to be magnanimous: "Well, you are very good. I will leave the matter to you. Miao Niang, I trust and respect you so much. Please don't let me down again."

Xu Miaoniang understood Huang Lijin's meaning immediately. She shrank a little, then nodded vigorously.

Three days later, in the bustling streets of Kyoto, the news that the army would return to the capital soon after its victory spread throughout Kyoto. People were overjoyed, finally welcoming a peaceful and prosperous era. Also, because it was the end of the New Year, everyone was in high spirits and busy buying New Year goods.

Although there was still no news from her husband, he was generally fine. Yu Meixue was happy when she thought that with the return of the army, she might be reunited with her husband and his family one day. She could finally have a peaceful year.

Now that she had settled down and had some free time, Yu Meixue could not stay any longer. Thinking that she had not bought anything and wanted to have a prosperous year, she took out her own pocket money and planned to take Aunt Qiu, Yingchun and others to the street to do some shopping.

Hearing that they were going to the street, how could the children at home sit still? They all clamored to go.

Li Yaoguang also felt sorry for the three little kids. Thinking about how they had been wandering around for so many years and finally had a stable life, he didn't hold them back and waved goodbye to let them go. It was just that he didn't have time to accompany them.

The troubled times will soon be over, and everything needs to be rebuilt. Jiqitang is opened and closed, and the family is big and prosperous. Ji Mo, the owner, happens to be here now. This place is also a big store in Kyoto, so naturally thousands of things have accumulated together. In addition, Ji Mo had accompanied her to settle down just now, and now he has been almost completely busy with official duties these days, and has no time to rest.

Li Yaoguang couldn't bear to see this, and thinking about how his father and brother had taken care of him along the way, he wanted to help, so he asked his brother Li Qifeng to go with him, mainly to look after the three little ones.

Li Yaoguang and Ji Mo watched the group go out in a lively manner. The family walked around and shopped, and gradually the family dispersed. Yu Meixue and Aunt Qiu couldn't help but go into the cloth shop, leaving Li Qifeng alone to look after the three chirping children.

The third child, who rarely got out for some exercise, saw the man selling windmills stop for a moment, saw the man selling candied haws and bought one, saw the man selling ding ding candies and became curious, and finally saw a stall selling candy figures surrounded by many children, so the third child couldn't help but swarm over there as well.

Li Qifeng was afraid that something might go wrong and that the child would be lost if he misjudged him, so he hurriedly called the three children.

"Yang Ge'er, Yi Ge'er, and Yaoyao, don't run around! Be careful not to fall down. Slow down, slow down, the stall won't move, so push slowly..."

They are just children. It’s rare for them to be out and about. How can they be so obedient?

The three little ones became more excited and curious when they heard the cheers of surprise from the children in the candy figurine stall. They were originally holding hands, but suddenly let go of their hands and rushed in like clever monkeys. Li Qifeng really grabbed this and ignored the other and was very busy.

The person who had been following them secretly for a long time brightened up when he saw this scene, and he winked at his companion. The other party understood what he meant, so he called on the other two companions to squeeze over, and they started to squeeze into the candy figurine stall without making any noise, and their men also used brute force.

How could a child withstand such a push? Suddenly, the whole candy stall was in chaos.

One was crying, the other was making a lot of noise. Li Qifeng started to panic when he saw the situation was not good, and hurried to find his three children. At this moment, Yi Ge'er, who was left alone, had his sleeve pulled by someone. The little guy wanted to resist, but before he could turn around, someone covered his mouth and picked him up from behind and walked away.

Brother Yi panicked and started struggling violently. Fear surged in his heart and he subconsciously pried the other person's arm. Remembering what Sister Yaoguang had taught them every day on how to save themselves when they encountered danger, the little guy bit the smelly hand that was covering his mouth and nose fiercely.

The man felt pain and subconsciously let go and cursed.

Yi Ge'er was delighted and was about to call for help, but at this moment, a figure suddenly rushed in front of him, and quickly covered his mouth and nose with his hands. Immediately afterwards, an extremely familiar yet unfamiliar voice rang in Yi Ge'er's ears.

"Brother Yi, don't shout! It's me, my elder sister!"

Miss?

Brother Yi suddenly stopped and looked upwards along the hand that was tightly covering himself. Who else could the person in front of him be but his long-missing sister!
It was just this moment of distraction, this brief gap, that allowed Xu Miaoniang and her men to successfully kidnap Yi Ge'er.
