Chenyi and others now understood. They had thought that all those with full Yin bodies would be robbed.
While eating chestnuts, Qi Baoer asked, "Did the Taoist priest protect the girl and then took the child to the Taoist temple?"
She used affirmative sentences.
Chen Yi silently gave a thumbs up in his heart, "Indeed, I heard that the Taoist priest was seriously injured, and the child was taken to Shangqing Temple by the Taoist priest as soon as he was born."
Now Chen Yi didn't say anything and everyone understood why the Zhao family did not announce this daughter to the outside world. Firstly, it was safer to raise her in a Taoist temple outside the capital than in the Yi'an Bo Mansion in the capital. Secondly, her physique was too special.
You will be targeted by some people with evil intentions.
Jun Chenyuan's noble hands, which were either holding precious swords to decide life and death, or holding ink pens to decide life and death, were peeling chestnut skins one by one with skillful force.
After peeling off one piece, I handed it to Qi Bao'er's little mouth. Qi Bao'er took a sip and it was very silky.
The actions between the two of them are extremely ambiguous, but both of them have calm expressions, so you can't see any real ambiguity in them. Instead, they have a strong feeling like an old couple.
The circle formed by oneself in the world, but no one can intervene in it.
"There are people robbing children on the street in Beijing. It seems that the capital is not peaceful recently." Qi Bao'er said.
Jun Chenyuan paused slightly. His words seemed to be criticizing his lax governance.
Fortunately, Jun Chenyuan understood Qi Bao'er's personality too well. She has never been a smooth and knowledgeable person. She has always been straightforward. When talking to her, most of the time you talk to her, it's enough to just read the superficial meaning.
Don't think too much.
"Indeed, there were kidnappers in the past, but the capital city is different after all, and they don't dare to be so blatant."
Qi Baoer was deeply convinced. He took the chestnuts handed over by Jun Chenyuan into his mouth and chewed: "It seems that the impact of Qidong's visit to the capital is not small. Maybe many people don't know what the emperor is going to do, but are there any people around him?"
Everyone can still see the changes.”
Dare to be a kidnapper in this area of the capital so blatantly, it is absolutely impossible to say that they have no one behind them.
But even if there were powerful people backing him, no one would be so bold, because once the incident happened, it would be useless to support him.
When the Qilin Kingdom was founded, its population was extremely small. The total number of people in the entire country was less than 200 million.
Two hundred million may seem like a lot, but considering the size of the Qilin Kingdom, a population of two hundred million is simply not enough. In some places, a large state only has tens of thousands of people.
At that time, the old dynasty disappeared and the new dynasty just came into being. In the last dynasty, there were always many evildoers who made it difficult for the country to make a fortune. Buying and selling people and people could be seen everywhere at that time, and the price of people was so cheap.
Not as good as animals.
Cheap means no one cares about their lives.
Even after the Qilin Kingdom was established, the early folk custom of buying and selling still prevailed.
Emperor Qiming naturally hated this. How could he strengthen the country if there were fewer and fewer people?
Who grows the land?
Who will be the soldier?
So Emperor Qiming laid down strict laws: abductors and traffickers would be beheaded; participants would be beheaded or exiled; if any of the children he handled died, at least three clans would be implicated.
Under such harsh laws, as long as you are not stupid, even if you are powerful, who can be more powerful than the emperor?!
That's why the scene just now made Qi Bao'er and Jun Chenyuan feel wrong. Normally, it was something that was basically impossible to happen in the capital.
But the problem is, it just happened.
Not only that, looking at the skillful actions of the man and the woman, the scene just now could not have happened for the first time.
This is also the reason why Eunuch Fu wanted to grab the young man just now and let them run away so that they could just take advantage of it.
Jun Chenyuan smiled and pinched her little face, "Don't worry, I'm here."
He said he didn't care about everything, but he was worried about everything. He didn't even take a good rest after coming back from Surabaya City. He went shopping and worried about the kidnapper.
Qi Baoer glanced at him silently and smiled sweetly with her dimples exposed.

Understanding what Jun Chenyuan meant, Qi Baoer left Beijing and returned to Qijia Village early the next morning.
I walked around the village with Old Man Qi, ate melons with Old Mrs. Tian everywhere, and went hunting game in the mountains with my second uncle. By the way, I also attended two wedding banquets and ate back to the banquet.
It can be said that in just half a month, Qi Baoer's little life was so rich.
That evening, there was an unknown mountain outside Yongding City. It was clear that there was no wind or rain in the city, but there was a gloomy wind here, and the whistling sound was like a child crying and as eerie and terrifying as a woman's mourning.
Suddenly a black shadow flashed across the forest. The black shadow was so fast that it was difficult to catch it with the naked eye. Oh no, it looked like it was flashing in the forest. It added a bit more to the already gloomy mountain forest.
A very scary atmosphere.
The black shadow flashed across the big trees, until it stopped under a huge tree.
This person is wrapped in a black hooded cloak. I don’t know whether he is a man or a woman, and I don’t know his age. He should be a human being, judging by his body shape.
He stretched out his hand from his cloak, which looked as pale as a dead man in the moonlight. No other movement was seen. Suddenly, a triangular, dark, and black hand with strange symbols painted on it appeared out of thin air.
tattooed flag.
Taoist Priest Wei Yang gasped, "This, this, this is the Ten Thousand Ghosts Flag."
The man in black didn't know that not far from the big tree, not only Taoist priest Wei Yang, but a group of nearly three hundred people had been waiting for him.
It's just that Qi Bao'er has set up a hiding formation here. Unless someone is more capable than Qi Bao'er, they will never be able to find the people inside.
Except for the leader Qi Bao'er, who was wearing casual clothes, the others in this group were either Taoists or monks.
They are all members of Xuanmen, so everyone knows something about the Ten Thousand Ghost Banners mentioned by Taoist Wei Yang, and their expressions changed drastically.
Abbot Huineng of Mingjue Temple looked at the flag in the hand of the man in black, and his usually smiling face also had a solemn expression, "This man has lived for hundreds of years, and he continues to do evil. There are thousands of ghosts in his hands."
Banner, I don’t know how many evil ghosts and resentful ghosts have been collected inside.”
The Xuanmen in this area are different from the Xuanmen in some areas; the Xuanmen in some places form an opposition between yang and yin, and people in the Xuanmen help the yang and destroy the yin; but the Xuanmen in this area are
Talking about cause and effect, in other words, they pay more attention to the cause and effect. If the ghost is at fault, they will help the person, and if the person is guilty, they will help the ghost seek justice.
Therefore, when everyone sees the Ten Thousand Ghosts Banner, the first reaction is not that there are too many evil ghosts in the banner and they cannot kill them; but, if there are too many evil ghosts, how long will they have to be saved?
Headache.
Of course, not all of them are just talking about enlightenment in the face of attacks by evil spirits. Abbot Huineng would not do such a stupid thing.
Before he knew it, every magic weapon was already in his hands, and the men in black were all looking at him with murderous intent.
They looked nothing like a group of Taoist priests and compassionate monks who upheld justice, but more like a group of bandits preparing to go out for war.
