Chapter 33
The night before, the continuous autumn rain made summer disappear and the scorching heat faded away.

The sky is clear today, and the autumn tiger is showing a little bit of power, but the coolness of the westerly wind is no longer the stifling heat of summer.

At this time, the west window was wide open, and Xia He sat on the brocade recliner inside the window, looking at the flowers on the osmanthus trees outside the window. Still hot.

Although he was seriously injured, he also gained rare peace. At this moment, Xia He forced himself not to think about anything, let the breeze blow his whole body, and imagined what it would be like in late autumn.

Heart, but also a lot of peace.

After a night of searching, there was still no news of Ran'er, Mr. Lei and others, so it was good news that nothing was found.

Among the many things right now, the only thing is that I don't want to go into it, but I need an answer after all.

I just hope that the answer will not be as everyone guessed.

……

"It's already autumn, you've already been seriously injured, and you haven't paid attention to letting the wind blow, you can't catch a cold anymore!"

Xia Qianjie walked into the study and saw Xia He sitting by the open window, he couldn't help reminding him.

He walked to Xia He's side, casually put the thin blanket placed at the end of the recliner on Xia He's body, and said with concern: "You should lie down on the bed and rest well, why are you in the study again?"

"Uncle!" Seeing Xia Minjie approaching, Xia He called out politely, but his eyes were complicated.

"I know your doubts." Xia Minjie sighed helplessly: "If I told you that I really didn't know about the attack on Qiantao Mountain yesterday, would you believe me?"

In fact, since Xia He sent his servants to invite him to the study, Xia Minjie knew that Xia He had doubts about him because of the Qiantaoshan incident, so he mentioned it straight to the point.

"Uncle!" Xia He called again, but he didn't expect his uncle to come in and talk about it directly.

Quietly looking at the uncle in front of him, recalling all kinds of past events, besides his father, his uncle is his closest relative. After his father left, his uncle did not ask for anything, and has been working hard to help him. During the year when he went out to do business, the affairs of the Xia family Uncle took care of everything, so that all properties of the Xia family were operating normally without any mistakes.

However, due to an accident, many people speculated about it like this. I guess my uncle himself is also very uncomfortable!

"I believe in you!" Xia He looked at Xia Mojie and said solemnly.

Xia Minjie smiled slightly, but he was not relieved.

"Brother has been away for the past year, you have been out on business, and things at home have been heavy, and everyone has had a hard time. It was hard to expect you to come back, but Yanqing failed to come back safely. This made everyone very depressed So you said that you want to accompany the eighth princess to Qiantao Mountain, so I thought why not let you young people go out for a walk together, not to mention that the eighth princess will marry into our family sooner or later, so it would be nice to have everyone warm up .”

"I know, Uncle!" Xia He was a little ashamed, his uncle was thinking about everything in the Xia family, but he was only focused on finding out the murderer of his father, and neglected many things.

Xia Minjie patted Xia He's shoulder lightly, and said calmly: "I know you have been speculating about the cause of elder brother's death, and I doubted it at first, but Xia's family has been very peaceful this year since you went out to do business, so I dispelled such doubts. However, Yan Qing's death once again proves that the death of eldest brother should not be an accident."

Before Xia He could speak, Xia Minjie continued with a wry smile: "The night before last, I personally selected the servants and maidservants, but Chuntao can be said to be the person I trust the most!"

"Why is that?" Xia He asked puzzled.

"Because Chuntao is the daughter of your aunt's distant cousin. Her husband died of illness three months ago. She has no children and lives alone at her husband's house. Life is not easy. That's why your aunt's distant cousin begged your aunt to arrange a summer vacation. Come to do some work at home, Chuntao has been here for more than half a month, but has been depressed, I really have selfish intentions in sending her to Qiantao Mountain, I hope she can follow you to see the scenery and relax."

"Does Chuntao know martial arts?" Xia He asked.

"Chuntao is just an ordinary country woman. Not to mention martial arts, she doesn't know a lot of big characters. When she comes to Xia's house, she can only do some simple chores, and she doesn't like communicating with people very much." Xia Minjie said.

"In this way, I'm afraid that Chuntao from Qiantao Mountain has someone else." Xia He said thoughtfully, although the Chuntao in his eyes has an ordinary appearance, but the temperament is not just an ordinary country woman.

"I'm afraid Chuntao is more ominous than good?" Suddenly an ominous thought arose in my heart, and then continued: "Chuntao is a matter of your aunt's distant cousin and niece, and no one knows about it. After you came back yesterday, I felt that there is something wrong with this matter." At most, we sent people to search everywhere for the strange things, but there is no whereabouts of Chuntao!"

"That is to say, someone pretends to be the Qiantao Mountain on Chuntao, but the real Chuntao is missing, and his life and death are unknown!" Xia He speculated.

"It's very possible. Chuntao is a newcomer and has a withdrawn personality. She doesn't want to communicate with others. If a thief wants to get in, it's the last thing to be discovered." Xia Jie analyzed, a little regretful. The concern for the distant cousin and niece, unexpectedly, may have killed the cousin and niece, and also caused everyone to look sideways at him.

Xia He said with a serious voice: "This also shows that our Xia family's every move is being monitored."

Xia Minjie said bitterly: "Actually, what I say now is in vain. There is no real evidence. You can trust my uncle, but you can't convince the public. I will definitely find out the truth and give everyone an explanation."

After finishing speaking, he sighed: "After all, everyone will think that if you really have troubles, I seem to be the only one who is the most suitable head of the Xia family."

"uncle……"

Xia He wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Xia Qianjie.

"Don't think about anything now, rest at ease and heal your wounds. I will go to the palace to ask for an order later, and ask His Majesty the Emperor to set a wedding date. After you recover from your injuries, you will marry the eighth princess and inherit the title of Patriarch of the Xia Family. Everyone, we are making plans."

After all, as if talking to himself or trying to reassure Xia He, he said: "With me here, the Xia family will definitely not change!"

……

Herman really couldn't understand why Wang told him to find a cat, and it was even more beautiful...

In my eyes, all cats look the same!

What makes a good-looking cat?
In the wilderness below the valley, there are only wild cats.

A wild cat, perhaps not the cat Wang wanted.

Hermann wondered.

Or go into town to see it!
So, Herman no longer hesitated, and came to Luoyang City with a flash of his figure.

The streets of Luoyang are still crowded with people.

I looked at the figures of people coming and going, but I didn't see the shadow of the cat.

It's really strange to say that when you don't pay attention, you can always see a few cats on the street from time to time, but now when you need to find them urgently, there is no trace of a cat.

This kind of aimless walking is not an option, Herman is planning to go to a deserted alley and use magic power to explore.

At this time, Herman suddenly saw a young beautiful woman in purple clothes walking in front of her, holding a cat in her arms.

That cat has gray and white fur on its head, and gray and white patterns all over its body, but on its round, furry head, a pair of small pointed ears are pure white, and the pair of big green eyes on its face His eyes were staring at himself curiously.

Haha, that's it, Herman smiled with satisfaction.

Herman pretended to be nonchalant, and slowly walked towards the beautiful woman in purple. When he intersected with the beautiful woman in purple, Herman stretched out his hand at a lightning speed, and snatched the beauty from the purple woman's arms. Cat, then turned and jumped.

After Ziyi reacted, he looked around, but there was still the figure of the cat snatcher...

……

Herman carefully carried the snatched cat back to the hidden cave in the mountain stream.

The cat seemed to feel that Herman's aura was different, so even though it was snatched from its owner's arms, the cat remained obedient and let Herman hold her without barking or making trouble, but the big green pair Eyes kept on Hermann warily.

Entering the cave, I saw Yang Ran'er lying flat and sleeping on the ground. His king was sitting cross-legged beside Yang Ran'er, using magic power to protect Yang Ran'er from anger. Scotta stood behind Edreyson, giving He protects the law.

"Where's the cat?" Adeleson asked indifferently when he saw Herman coming in, without looking up.

"Here!" Herman walked towards Edreyson with the cat in his arms, feeling a little uneasy, not knowing whether the cat was what the king wanted.

Edreyson glanced at it, without making any comments, and ordered: "Let it be placed in front of Ran'er's head!"

Herman had absolutely no idea what Edreson wanted to do.

In doubt, he could only follow suit. He hugged the cat with one hand, raised the other hand and shook it slightly in front of the cat. The slight magic power was fleeting, and the cat also lost consciousness and fell asleep in Herman's arms.

Herman walked up to Ran'er, knelt down and gently placed the cat in front of Ran'er's head.

After seeing Herman put the cat away, Edreson continued to order: "You go to the entrance of the cave to form a formation, and seal this place first, and there must be no interference when the king is doing it."

"Yes!"

Herman stood up, and at the same time silently glanced at Scotta, who also looked puzzled.

What exactly does the king want to do?

"You two don't make random guesses anymore, you will know when the time comes!" Edreson knew the doubts of the two, but he didn't want to expend energy to explain.

After coming here, he has been concentrating on gathering his own energy. Ran'er's life is hanging by a thread. When doing this, he must concentrate on it without any distraction. As long as there is the slightest mistake, Ran'er will disappear completely.

It wasn't until the moment when he hugged Ran'er's falling body in the valley that Edreson truly felt his sincerity.

More than an inexplicable liking, he didn't want to lose her.

Then take a gamble, for Ran'er, he will change his fate against the sky.

……

After Herman sealed the hole, he walked behind Edreyson.

Scotta and Herman glanced at each other, and nodded firmly to each other. No matter what their king wanted to do, they would follow without hesitation.

Herman of the Elemental of Wind.

Skota of the Elemental of Earth.

The two closed their eyes, focused their attention, raised their hands, gathered the magic power they had released, and continuously rotated in the hole. The more they gathered, the stronger they finally formed an arc-shaped semicircle enchantment, connecting Edreyson and Ran. Children are protected in it.

Although the power released by the two forms an enchantment, it can also be used by Edreson at the same time, in case the king, who is already seriously injured, needs it.

everything's ready.

Edreyson formed a formation in front of Ran'er while muttering a series of spells.

I saw a black vortex formed above Ran'er's body.

Edreson kept injecting his magic power into the vortex, and the vortex became bigger and faster.

After an unknown amount of time, the vortex was big enough to cover Ran'er. Seeing this, Edreson lifted the right hand controlling the vortex vigorously, and a soft white light was sucked out of Ran'er's body by the extremely fast rotating vortex.

Then the black vortex disappeared in Edreyson's palm in an instant, leaving only a soft white ball of light in Edreyson's palm, surrounded by faint colorful light.

Edreson gently held the ball of light with the two fingers of his right hand, raised his left hand and swung it in the air, absorbing all the power of the enchantment condensed by Scotta and Herman into his body.

Then he uttered another series of incantations, stretched out his right hand, and quickly injected the ball of light from his fingertips into the cat's body.

After calming down, Edreyson let out a deep breath of relief, but suddenly shook his body and spat out a mouthful of blood from his mouth.

"king!"

"king!"

Herman and Scotta quickly squatted down to support Edreyson's sides, and cried out in unison.

Edreyson raised his right hand, wiped off the blood stains around his mouth with his sleeve, waved his hand, motioned for the two to let go, and said in a low voice, "It's okay!"

"Wang, this is..." Scotta looked at Ran'er who was still lying on the ground, then at the sleeping cat, and said hesitantly.

Edreyson nodded without waiting for Scotta to finish speaking, "That's right, I took Ran'er's consciousness out of her body, and injected it into this cat's body."

"Oh, my king!" Herman exclaimed, his own king could think of such a way.

"Separating the angel's consciousness, the king's method is really perfect." Scotta admired: "Without the consciousness, you can't feel the pain, so you can protect Yang Ran'er's body with magic power , and then slowly treat this body, and then inject Yang Ran'er's spiritual consciousness back into the body after the body recovers."

Scotta was ashamed of himself, he couldn't think of this method no matter what, and, even if he could really think of it, he was completely incapable of doing it.

That's it, Herman nodded knowingly, it turned out that the king wanted a good-looking cat.

Fortunately, I still understand the king, and didn't just catch a wild cat and bring it back.

He walked over to pick up the cat, then gently handed it to Edreyson's arms, hesitantly said: "But, when Yang Ran'er wakes up and finds that she has turned into a cat, will it be..."

Edreyson smiled easily: "Haha, let her show her teeth and claws, she can only be my king's pet for the time being!"

After all, he looked down at the cat sleeping in his arms, oh no, it should be Ran'er.

Edreyson couldn't help but gently raised his hand to caress the fluffy Ran'er in his arms, his eyes were full of doting...

……

The sky was getting dark, and in a mansion in Luoyang City, a beautiful woman greeted her husband who had just entered the house. The woman hugged her husband's waist and said aggrievedly: "Mr. My Xueer was snatched!"

"What?" The woman's husband was shocked: "Who did it, dare to snatch Xue'er!"

The woman shook her head with tears in her eyes, and said: "That man's speed is extremely fast, I didn't see who it was!"

The woman's husband raised his hand to stroke the woman's hair, and comforted him: "Don't worry, Xue'er is spiritual. If there is a chance, she will definitely find it by herself. It's too late today, and tomorrow I will send people to inquire and look for it. Get Xueer back for you!"

"Yeah!" The woman nodded aggrievedly.

Who is it, and why did they take Xueer away...
