Well-behaved official ladies are so boring. This little girl is not only noble and outstanding in appearance, but also has an interesting temperament. Only when such a thing is sold can it be sold at the best price.
The man was so busy thinking that he would be able to get the information he wanted based on the knowledge of the little girl in front of him.
And indeed, he got it!
Li Sixu looked like she was under the eaves and had to bow her head.
"Since you insist on knowing, then sit tight!"
After having enough trouble, Li Sixu looked at him: "Listen carefully, I live in the Daming Palace, and there are some people you can't afford to offend."
The man was a little flustered at first. After being stunned, he laughed out loud: "You are such an interesting little girl. I was almost fooled by you. The one who lives in the Daming Palace is a princess!"
"Will the emperor and queen in the palace let the little princess go out to play during the Lantern Festival?"
The man in brocade clothes had a stern look on his face: "If you really belong to some powerful family, Chang'an City is already in turmoil right now. I have good ears and eyes and have many contacts in Chang'an City. I have never heard of any family looking for someone. News, I think even if you come from a noble family with a poor family, you are definitely not favored at home."
"There are many secret affairs in high-ranking families. When you travel, you only have one escort accompanying you. It shows that someone in your family also wants you to disappear."
Before leaving, the man in brocade clothes said proudly: "Young lady, just stay here. Ruyi Tower is no longer worthy of you. I will find a better place for you."
"There is no need to put anything in her mouth. Let her know that if she falls into my hands, no one will come to save her even if she screams."
The door was locked again, and the house was plunged into darkness again.
The kidnapped children who had been frightened by the bad guys who entered the house did not dare to say a word. Now they were plunged into darkness, and the whimpering and sobbing that overflowed from the rags began again.
"Hey, no one will believe you when you tell the truth."
Li Sixu sighed and met the admiring eyes of the children in the darkness. She quickly cut off another thick rope, moved her stiff shoulders, and then looked around.
"You'd better save some energy and stop crying just yet!"
After the surrounding area became quieter, Li Sixu said: "In a moment, I will use a dagger to cut off the ropes that bind you, but if you want to survive and successfully escape from here to see your family, you must listen to me."
Can you escape from here?
Li Sixu's words made the tied children forget to cry for a moment. At the same time, they looked at her in the darkness and nodded repeatedly.
She continued: "After I cut your rope, you are not allowed to shout, because the person who just didn't stuff the rag into my mouth again must be because the place where we are detained is deep in the courtyard, and it must be something that even the official could not expect." He was confident that the officers and soldiers would never find this place, so he dared not stuff another rag into my mouth."
"If any of you shouts and alerts people, and they know that we have cut off the ropes, they will beat us, or even imprison us in the cellar, so that even if the officers and soldiers come, your parents will not be able to see you. Do you understand?"
The imprisoned children nodded, and then Li Sixu used a dagger to cut off the rope of the girl next to her.
After being able to move her wrist, the first thing the girl did was to tear off the rag stuffed in her mouth.
"Do you really live in Daming Palace? Are you really a princess?"
After she asked curiously, she laughed to herself: "How could you be a princess? You scared the bad guy just now. You look so powerful. You are as powerful as the ten princesses in the rumors. I will hang out with you from now on." "
Is she already so famous that even children know about her?
However, the children around her were sobbing. Although the other party looked like she was crying, she was still calm. And when she used the dagger to cut the rope just now, this good-looking little girl was still worried about her.
About the same age as her, Li Sixu thought highly of her for being so optimistic and open-minded in a den of thieves.
"Isn't it time to think about your current situation?"
Li Sixu commented: "Your focus is very wrong!"
"I am not favored at home. My aunt who married me only likes the younger brothers and sisters she gave birth to. My father doesn't want to see me and just wants to have a son. Even if he knows that I am missing, he is too lazy to let people look for me."
The girl shrugged and laughed at herself sadly: "He must have thought that this drag bottle is finally gone."
"By the way, my name is Zhang Yingying."
Li Sixu used a dagger to cut the rope for the tied child. Zhang Yingying followed behind her and muttered: "What's your name?"
"Li Sixu!"
Although Zhang Yingying had heard her grandfather mention the ten princesses at home, she didn't know Li Sixu's name.
So I didn't react much when I heard her name.
She was probably too depressed in the mansion and didn't have many friends to play with when she returned to the capital, so she followed Li Sixu like a chatterbox.
"My grandfather loves me somewhat, but he just returned to the capital a few years ago to take up a post. He has many affairs to deal with in the palace, and the emperor often summons him to the palace. He has no time to take care of me."
Zhang Yingying sighed: "To avoid the eyes and ears of the people in the house, I sneaked out of the house to visit the Lantern Festival. The candy buyer didn't notice and was caught here..."
Her last name is Zhang?
Her grandfather was transferred back to Beijing to take up a post a few years ago?
Father still summons him often?
After Li Sixu took some time to think about it, she guessed which household the chatterbox behind her belonged to.
The person who kidnapped them here was really interesting, a princess favored by the emperor and the granddaughter of a minister of the Ministry of War.
Want to treat them as goods and sell them at a good price?
The next scene shouldn’t be too good!
With Zhang Yingying's cooperation, when Li Sixu rescued the tied children, she helped untie the ropes and pull the rags stuffed in their mouths.
Because of Li Sixu's initial reminder, no one dared to say a word after they were rescued, for fear of provoking the culprit who kidnapped them again.
All the children were untied, and Zhang Yingying pulled Li Sixu excitedly: "How do we escape? Dig a hole in the ground?"
"Are you a mouse or a rabbit, and you dig burrows."
Li Sixu pulled her to sit down: "Do nothing and wait for someone to rescue you."
"Although my father is the Prime Minister of Dali Temple and my grandfather is also very powerful, I pretended to be asleep and sneaked out, and the servants I serve are not doing their best. They might think that I have gone to bed early!"
Zhang Yingying was dejected: "You really don't have a way to escape? What if the servants in my house find out that I'm missing tomorrow morning, then we all have to be sold to some Ruyi Building."
"Don't run away!"
Li Sixu pointed to the nailed-down windows and the high roof beams, asking her to try to escape.
Zhang Yingying was exhausted, and Li Sixu said very confidently: "Don't worry, someone will come to save us soon. My unparalleled hero, he will definitely come to save me on the colorful clouds."
