Chapter 1004 - Young Taoist
Chapter 1004 Young Taoist
The two guards outside the carriage were mumbling, and Xie Qiao could hear them.
Young Taoist…
Young Taoist?
Xie Qiao felt as if electricity had passed through her brain, and she suddenly understood what was wrong!
“Quick, take down Liuming first, then chase after that young Taoist!” Xie Qiao immediately said.
“Yes!” The guards did not ask any more questions. They first rushed into the courtyard and took Liuming directly.
In a short while, Liuming was dragged out. He was still struggling. “Why are you arresting me?! I haven’t committed any crime!”
The guards did not say anything.
The Crown Prince had ordered them to obey whatever Master Mo wanted. They could not disobey her. Therefore, even if they did not understand, they had to obey her orders first!
They threw the man onto the horse and quickly chased after the little boy.
However, when they reached the intersection, there was nothing left.
“Master, he is just a little boy. Why are you so nervous?” A guard asked in confusion.
“I suspect that this boy is the person I am looking for.” Xie Qiao’s gaze was cold. It was not suspicion, but confirmation.
As the boy was a child, she did not look at him twice when she saw him. However, when she thought about it carefully, she realized that something was wrong with his eyes. They were not as black and white as a child’s eyes. He had different bone structure, facial features, and demeanor, there was something wrong with him. It was as if a pot of hodgepodge had been mixed together. At first glance, there seemed to be no problem, but if one thought about it carefully, they would find him very strange.
“That child?” The guards were all shocked.
This time, they had followed the master out to look for a Taoist master. She only said that he practiced the evil path, but they did not know exactly what he was like.
However, they had never thought that he was a child at all?
“I don’t think he’s a child. His head is a little small, but the whites of his eyes aren’t clean, and his pupils are dull. If he’s a child, his eyes should be more lively and spirited, and he should be younger.”
With that said, the guards thought about it carefully.
It seemed that the master was right.
“That young Taoist… His skin doesn’t seem as good as an ordinary child’s. His skin isn’t fair and tender, and his eyes… are a little old.” The guards thought about it carefully and nodded.
When the young Taoist saw them, he seemed to be in a panic. However, when a child was in a panic, his eyes should have left a deep impression on people.
However, the young Taoist’s eyes seemed to have become much calmer.
“But what’s going on with this head?” They still did not understand.
“There must be some people with stunted growth in this world. It’s rare to see them, but they exist,” Xie Qiao said. “Master, if what you said is true, then this person will not be easy to catch. He looks like a five-or six-year-old child and has the intelligence of an adult. If he wants to hide, it would be too easy,” the guard said nervously.
Xie Qiao had a headache. She did not expect this person to slip away right under her nose.
It was all her fault for being too careless.
She did not dare to look at a child’s face too much, so she tried her best to avoid looking at the child. She did not want to see too much of it and accidentally tell his fortune, which would affect the child’s life.
“Let’s bring Liuming back first.” Xie Qiao thought for a moment. “This person isn’t a criminal, so it’s not good to take him to the criminal division or the administrative office. Let’s go to the Fortune Pavilion.”
The criminal division was, after all, the administrative office of the imperial court, so one should not use it casually.
If they found out that this person had a criminal record, it would not be too late to send him back.
The guards agreed. These few days, they belonged to Master Mo. With them guarding, they would definitely not let Liuming escape.
