Chapter 210 Ye Xiaotuan intercepts halfway
Hearing her son's cry, Ye Chuxue came to her senses instantly and hurriedly reached out to pick up Ye Xiaotuan from the couch.
However, what she never expected was that this little guy was like a slippery loach, and he dodged Ye Chuxue's outstretched arm with ease.
At the same time, Ye Xiaotuan protested with an unhappy face and muttered, "Mom, I'm grown up now. I can go by myself!"
After saying that, Ye Xiaotuan swiftly grabbed his outer robe that was placed aside, and ran towards the tent door without looking back.
Ye Chuxue looked at Ye Xiaotuan's small figure leaving in a hurry, and could only smile bitterly and shook her head helplessly, muttering softly to herself: "Alas, this little brat, I didn't expect that he would know how to be shy now."
Who could have expected that after Ye Xiaotuan rushed out of the tent, he turned into a quiet and secluded path next to him without hesitation, and ran all the way without stopping.
Along the way, he ran breathlessly and sweated profusely, but he did not dare to stop for a moment.
He didn't know how long he ran, until he felt his legs were as heavy as if they were filled with lead and he was almost exhausted, then he finally saw the wide and flat road at the end of his sight.
At this moment, Ye Xiaotuan couldn't help but feel ecstatic.
He took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and used the last bit of his strength to run towards the road ahead...
After finally reaching the wide and flat road, he felt as if all his strength had been drained away. He was so tired that he collapsed to the ground like a puddle of mud, gasping for breath.
At this moment, a burst of rapid and loud horse hoof sounds coming from far away suddenly reached his ears.
He subconsciously turned his head to look, and when he saw the scene clearly, he couldn't help but feel relieved: "Great, I finally got ahead."
Thinking of this, Ye Xiaotuan gritted his teeth, used up the last bit of strength in his body, tried hard to support his thin body, and sat up shakily.
Then, without hesitation, he raised his hands high above his head and shouted at the top of his voice: "I'm here. Daddy, I'm here."
Yun Muheng, who was galloping on his horse, saw the small figure in front of him from afar. When he heard this extremely familiar voice, his heart trembled suddenly.
Then, without hesitation, he clamped the horse's belly hard, waving the whip in his hand vigorously and growling, urging the horse under his crotch to run faster.
In the blink of an eye, he rushed to Ye Xiaotuan's side like lightning.
He flashed and quickly jumped off the horse. His movements were clean and neat without any delay.
Then, he stretched out a strong arm and easily grabbed Ye Xiaotuan into his broad and warm arms like an eagle catching a chick.
However, Yun Muheng's handsome face was now covered with a thin layer of anger. He frowned, stared sternly at Ye Xiaotuan in his arms, and asked in a stern voice, "You little brat, why are you running here instead of staying with your mother?"
Facing his father's questioning, Ye Xiaotuan not only showed no fear, but instead raised his eyebrows mischievously, showing a sly smile, and then answered directly: "Of course I'm waiting for you! Dad, I want to go into the city with you."
Yun Muheng's face darkened, and he said sternly without hesitation, "Absolutely not! That's not a place a child like you can set foot in! Come with me quickly, I'll take you back to your mother."
However, Ye Xiaotuan, who was held in his arms, struggled desperately to get off the ground, and her little hands pushed Yun Muheng's chest hard.
After finally landing on the ground, Ye Xiaotuan immediately raised her little face, looked directly at Yun Muheng with a firm and stubborn look, and said loudly: "I don't want it!
I'm not a kid anymore. If you don't take me with you, I'll go by myself.
To tell you the truth, I studied the map thoroughly last night.
And I even planned the specific route. Otherwise, how could I have gotten ahead of you and waited for you here?"
After saying this, Ye Xiaotuan saw Yun Muheng fell into silence, as if he was thinking about something.
So he slowed down his tone a little and pleaded softly, "Daddy, please, just let me go with you. I promise I will never cause you any trouble.
Actually, I have great abilities, but I have never had the opportunity to show them. You must not underestimate me."
Yun Muheng stared quietly at the little guy in front of him who was acting cute and coquettish towards him, thinking to himself: From what I know about little Tuanzi, he always keeps his word.
If I firmly refuse to take him with me this time, given his personality, he will most likely go to that dangerous place alone as he just said.
The situation will probably get even worse by then. It would be better if I could take him there myself!
After all, we are just going into the city to investigate the situation, so there shouldn't be any major danger.
With my ability, I can definitely protect him.
Thinking of this, Yun Muheng couldn't help but sigh helplessly, and said with a hint of doting and helplessness: "Oh, there's really nothing I can do about you! Okay, okay, in that case, then I will take you there.
But let me be frank: if your mother punishes you or even beats you for this when you get back, don't come crying to me!"
After saying this, he shook his head slightly, as if he had already foreseen what might happen next.
However, in the face of Yun Muheng's seemingly well-intentioned reminder, Ye Xiaotuan looked indifferent.
His face tilted upwards slightly, revealing a hint of disdain. He rolled his eyes at Yun Muheng and pouted, muttering, "Humph, who would cry like those timid, crybaby kids? I, Ye Xiaotuan, am not that kind of person!"
After saying this, he put his hands on his hips and acted as if he was fearless.
Yun Muheng smiled and shook his head, then he jumped on the horse holding Ye Xiaotuan and drove straight towards the county seat of Muyang County.
After Yun Muheng effortlessly climbed over the city wall with Ye Xiaotuan in his arms, although he was mentally prepared, when Yun Muheng saw the deserted and dilapidated streets, the anger in his heart still bubbled up.
The little boy in his arms also clenched his fists, his eyes full of anger.
But they knew that the most urgent task was to find the location of the purgatory, so they quickly headed towards the city.
Just then, they saw a man in yamen runner's clothes walking out of a yard in front of them.
