Yingping looked up when he heard the sound and saw a middle-aged woman hurriedly ran to the little girl and picked up the little girl without saying a word.
"Are you her mother?" Yingping asked doubtfully.
"Hey, of course, otherwise it would be fake?" the woman said with a smile to Yingping.
Looking at this woman's dark face and rough hands, they were obviously caused by being exposed to wind and sun on the dock for many years. They were far different from the little girl's delicacy and gorgeousness. Yingping's instinct told him that this woman was lying.
"Wow - she's not my mother! I don't know her -"
Sure enough, the little girl cried and exposed the woman's lie.
The woman's face suddenly darkened, with a slightly fierce look in her eyes, she stared at the little girl and said: "This child! Didn't I just scold you a few times? Why don't you even recognize your mother? Baby, be good - I'll give it to you later. Make a clay figurine..."
"You are ugly and bad! My mother is better, fairer, and prettier than you! You tricked me into coming here!" the little girl suddenly said angrily.
"Hahaha--"
Seeing the women being belittled by the little girl, the onlookers burst into laughter.
"Why are you laughing?" The woman became angry and turned around to curse.
Frightened by the identity of this woman's husband, the people around him consciously stopped laughing.
The woman turned around. She didn't want to get entangled with Yingping anymore. Although her husband was the leader of the largest gang in the dock area, she could also see that Yingping seemed to have some background, so at this moment she just wanted to get the little girl quickly. uniformed and sent Yingping away.
Just when she was about to speak, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her right wrist. She was in pain for a moment. As soon as her hands were loosened, the little girl fell. The woman raised her right hand and saw a small curved tooth mark on her wrist. When she turned her head again, she found that the little girl was trying to break away from her and ran towards the two young men opposite.
The woman couldn't help being furious. She grabbed the little girl's arm and raised her other hand high, ready to slap her and teach her a lesson.
But when the woman's hand was about to fall, she suddenly felt a painful feeling coming from her wrist. If the little girl's bite before was just a sting, then this pain was so painful that it penetrated to the bone and made her almost unable to stand. .
"Ouch - it hurts - it hurts - let go!" the woman said pleadingly.
The little girl hurriedly ran behind Yingping and hid behind Yingping's butt, only sticking her head out to observe.
"mother--"
Among the group of little boys, an older one ran out. He seemed to be the woman's son. It was this boy who bullied the little girl the most and had the most arrogant attitude just now.
When Ye Changshan saw the boy running towards him, he couldn't bear to bully his mother in front of the Son of Man, so he let go of his hand.
"Get out of the way—get out of the way—"
Suddenly, the crowd seemed to be pushed away by a barbaric force. Just when people were about to turn around and curse a few words, they saw a group of big and thick people squeezing in from behind. They all had a gangster air about them. Just looking at them His eyes looked as if he wanted to eat the people around him. There were actually some ruffians in the crowd who hung out on the pier all year round, but in front of these people, they were like a mouse meeting a cat, obediently swallowing their breath.
The man leading the group had a knife hanging on his waist, and his face seemed a little anxious. With the support of this group of gangster men, the man walked towards Yingping and Ye Changshan domineeringly.
Ying Ping glanced at the knife on the man's waist. He immediately recognized that the knife was a weapon from the Shence Camp. Looking at the posture and appearance of these strong men, it was not difficult to guess that these people must be from the Shence Camp. Soldiers.
What are your guards doing here? Yingping felt doubtful in his heart.
Just when Yingping was puzzled, the little girl holding on his lap suddenly let go of her arms.
"Uncle—I'm here—uncle!"
I saw the little girl running towards the man, running as fast as a stray lamb meeting its mother.
The man originally had a fierce look on his face. When he heard the little girl's voice, he first looked around for a while, and then when he saw the little girl running towards him, his expression completely turned to love. He hurried forward and bent down to greet her. The little girl threw herself at him.
"Wow - uncle - why did you come here!" After falling into the man's arms, the little girl completely let go of her tense mentality and burst into tears again.
"If Tang'er doesn't cry, it's all uncle's fault! Uncle is late."
The man had a beard, and with the aura of the group behind him, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was a bandit. But at this moment, he was holding the little girl in one arm with a kind face and the other hand. He kept patting the girl's back, trying to calm her frightened little heart.
The little girl named Tang'er was held on the man's chest. She tightly wrapped her hands around her uncle's neck, regardless of the prickly beard, because compared to the annoying people behind her, the prickly beard was not as prickly. Nothing.
Seeing his beloved niece hugging him and sobbing constantly, and the clothes and pants he gave her were dirty, the man's anger welled up in his heart.
He walked forward, stared at Yingping and the woman, mother and son, and asked coldly——
"Who is so fucking bold! Dare to bully my niece?"
The man's ferocious aura engraved in his bones made Yingping slightly startled. Faced with the rudeness of his own soldiers, Yingping didn't feel disgusted at all. Instead, he felt a little happy - after all, these were his own soldiers, and the better they could fight, the better. Be cruel, wouldn't it be better for yourself?
Ye Changshan didn't think too much. Seeing the man's menacing approach, he stepped forward and blocked Yingping behind him.
Seeing this, the man's men were not to be outdone, and swarmed up to protect the man.
The situation became tense for a moment.
Yingping didn't open his mouth to explain the situation. With Ye Changshan by his side, he was not anxious at all. What's more, he was the emperor. How could the emperor speak first? Facing this group of brave bandit soldiers, he was even interested in seeing what these people were capable of.
The man did not ask. Although his men were ready to move at this time, he knew that as long as he did not give the order, these people would never make any move. Looking at the temperament of the two young men in front of him, he also felt that there must be a misunderstanding. , but who are these two young gentlemen in front of me? snort! Although my father has lost power, he is still the deputy envoy of the Privy Council and one of the most respected people in the New Tang Army. He is also the captain of the Shence Camp. Even if you are the son of a prince and minister, how can I be afraid of you? ?
Yingping and the man exchanged sharp glances, which made Ye Changshan and his men feel nervous.
Just when neither side was willing to give in, the little girl lying on the man's chest suddenly pointed at Yingping and said——
"Uncle - these two uncles are good people, they have been protecting me just now!"
Hearing the little girl's milky voice, both Yingping and the man were stunned. It was precisely because of this that the tense atmosphere between the two parties suddenly eased a lot.
The man still looked at Yingping, and Yingping naturally maintained a proud attitude, but then, as if they had a tacit understanding, the two suddenly looked at each other and smiled——
Chang Xiaotian has now been transferred back to the capital. The strange thing is that he was placed in the Shence Camp. Yes, he was under the hands of his father's nemesis, Fatty Gongsun!
Today's Chang Xiaotian is as free and comfortable as he was when he was fighting barbarians in the pass? People have to lower their heads under the eaves. Even if they are a dragon, they have to sit down. Even if they are a tiger, they have to squat. They dare not show off at all. He who used to be careless and cursed has become more and more like a well-behaved little boy in the past two years. Wife, but today because his niece was lost, he seemed to have found himself again. He did not go to Jingzhao Mansion to report the crime. Without saying a word, he took a dozen brothers and started looking for someone in Chang'an.
After some inquiries and inquiries, Chang Xiaotian and his soldiers finally found a place - the wharf by the Weishui River. They heard that the largest gang there would engage in the dirty business of kidnapping and selling children, because the gang leader and a certain An adult had some dirt on her, so no one dared to care about it, and they just turned a blind eye. These children were kidnapped and trafficked, the boys were sold to be sons, and the girls were sold as child brides.
When Chang Xiaotian heard that it was okay, he hurried over with the rest of the people and asked a soldier to go to his sister's in-laws' house to report the news. After all, her sister's in-laws' family was powerful.
The hard work paid off, Chang Xiaotian searched all the way to this place, and sure enough he found his niece here. Looking at the bullied little niece, he secretly broke into a cold sweat. Just imagine if he came a little later, the consequences would be disastrous.
Chang Xiaotian was sweating on his forehead and full of anger. When he first saw Yingping and Ye Changshan, he thought that these two people were also part of the group of traffickers, but his niece explained that these two people were passers-by who were kind-hearted to help her. , the hostility in his heart disappeared instantly, replaced by great gratitude.
But Chang Xiaotian did not rush to thank him. Instead, after smiling at each other and Yingping, he continued to take two steps forward and came to the mother and son——
His grandma’s! If you don't take revenge, will you still be Chang Xiaotian?
Chang Xiaotian hugged his niece to his chest. With such an uncle, the little girl named Tang'er really didn't need to be afraid of anyone. Besides, in her eyes, her uncle was the best uncle in the world. As long as he was here , I am not afraid of anything.
At this time, Tang'er turned around, pointed condescendingly at the boy in the woman's arms and said angrily: "That's him! It's this brother who took the lead in bullying me, throwing stones at me, hitting me with his hands, and pulling my pigtails! "
Chang Xiaotian's face gradually darkened as he listened to Tang'er's words. He walked up to the boy and put the little girl down. Then he pointed at the boy and said, "Fight back! Hit whoever bullies you! If he hits you, hit him." Hit him twice, let me see who dares to bully my sweet boy!"
The woman protected the boy and said with some excitement: "Which of you dares to beat my son! I will make your whole family miserable -"
"Snapped--"
Only a crisp sound was heard, and the woman fell directly to the ground. When she raised her head again, the right side of her face was extremely red, and after a while it became slightly swollen. It turned out that a soldier rushed forward and gave her a hard blow. slap.
Who are Chang Xiaotian's personal soldiers? They were all brought back from the pass. They fought with the Northern Barbarians with real swords and guns all year round and lived a life of licking blood from the edge of the knife. They are very fierce. Who cares whether you are a man or a woman, big or small, strong or weak? Their consistent principle is to beat you into submission!
The woman was slapped, dizzy, and even a little dizzy. She was completely confused, and the crowd watching around her was also completely confused.
Chang Xiaotian ignored the woman and the onlookers. He patted his niece's butt and motioned for her to come forward.
The little girl faced the boy who bullied her again. Although she hated him to death, she was still a little timid. She looked back to see her uncle flinching, but when she saw her uncle pouting at her to encourage her, she mustered up the courage to stretch out her little hand, patted the boy's arm gently, and then hurriedly turned around and ran back to her uncle.
