Beijing, midnight
A beautiful figure jumped down from the roof of Baofeng Bank, silently opened the iron door and got in deftly.
[Host, isn’t it good for us to do this? 】The system said to the woman who was busy collecting gold, silver and jewelry.
[This is my family’s bank, that is, my bank. What’s wrong with me taking some money? 】Zheng Xiyao said in a matter-of-fact tone, playing with a pair of exquisite jade bone fans.
[Besides, I don’t have the funds to escape. Will you reimburse me? 】
[This is true, the main system will not reimburse us. Host, get more for emergencies. 】
This is how one person, one system reached an agreement.
[Host, leave quickly, someone is coming. 】The system reminds the woman who is pretending to be rich.
Zheng Xiyao had already heard the footsteps of a group of people approaching, and she knew that her captors were coming.
Instead she took her time.
Zheng Xiyao packed up all her favorite treasures, walked slowly towards the opposite shelf, and gently twisted the celadon vase on the shelf.
The shelf slowly opened, and a secret passage appeared in front of Zheng Xi.
[Host, how did you know there was a secret passage here?] The system couldn't help but ask curiously. '
[Zheng Xiyao’s eldest brother has always been cautious. What he is best at is leaving a way out. Besides, others can’t see that celadon vase, so I don’t know? He gave me an identical one back then. So this must be false. There is certainly something fishy about putting a fake porcelain vase in a bank's bank. 】
Zheng Xiyao's explanation was clear and logical, and the facts confirmed what she said.
She used to bother her brother to be cautious, but now she is a little lucky. If her eldest brother's temperament hadn't kept him in the bank, she would have been caught today.
[Big brother is wise, thank you big brother! ] Zheng Xiyao couldn't help shouting happily in the secret passage.
"Thank you for what, brother?" A familiar voice came from behind Zheng Xiyao. Zheng Xiyao's hand stopped in the air. The person behind her put his hand on her shoulder and asked softly
Her body was stiff and she didn't dare to turn around.
At this time, Zheng Xiyao was glad that she was wearing a mask; "Young Master, I recognized the wrong person. The Nu family doesn't know what happened. As soon as I woke up, I was here. The Nu family will leave now."
Zheng Xiyao covered her face and passed over the man behind her, speaking in a falsetto. When she walked quickly to the exit, she suddenly stopped.
It turned out that at the door, there were already more than a dozen guards of Duke Qing standing guard in two rows.
"Why don't you leave? Did you go the wrong way again?" Zheng Siqi walked to her side and said coldly.
Zheng Xiyao sighed, turned around and took off her veil, stared at her big innocent eyes and murmured: "Brother."
But before she finished speaking, "pop", the right side of Zheng Xiyao's face instantly turned red.
"Brother?" She looked at Zheng Siqi in disbelief, and the huge pain on her face reminded her that the person who just slapped her was the eldest brother she had ever loved the most.
"Do you still recognize me as your brother? Do you still remember that you are a young lady from the Duke of Qing's Palace? You still remember that there are more than 200 people in the Duke of Qing's Palace!" Zheng Siqi blushed, his eyebrows knitted together, and his eyes shone as sharp as knives.
This was the first time she saw her elder brother angry, and for a moment, she paused at a loss.
[Host, I didn’t expect that the Crown Prince would take action sometimes. 】The system suddenly sighed.
[Where did you go just now? Why didn't you remind me? 】
[I don’t know why, but when entering the secret passage, the signal suddenly cut off. 】
【what are you saying? How is this possible? This is ancient times. 】
[It’s strange, but these are not important. What should we do now? 】
Zheng Xiyao looked around at the people around her and responded, "Don't worry, they can't stop me." 】
With her strength, even though she was only one-tenth of what she was at her peak, these ordinary guards couldn't stop her.
[I knew you could do it, host! 】
Just do what she said, Zheng Xiyao rushed towards the surrounded guard center. Seeing this, a group of people stepped forward to capture Zheng Xiyao. She used 10% of her internal strength to break away from them and forced them to retreat two meters away.
However, at this moment, there was suddenly a handle on his neck.
Zheng Siqi suddenly mocked, "Why are you arresting her? This sister of mine studied under the master of Kunlun. She is brother and sister to His Majesty. Her martial arts are among the top five in the entire Shu Kingdom. I am afraid that only Your Majesty can win this city." she."
"Brother, just let me go, okay. I really can't go back." Zheng Xiyao rarely concealed her prosperous face and acted pitifully towards Zheng Siqi, who was watching coldly.
"Since we can't stop you, you can leave if you want. Why do you beg me? Who am I? It doesn't matter if the entire Qingguo Duke's palace is buried with you."
Zheng Xiyao stopped attacking and looked up at the expressionless Zheng Siqi.
My heart trembled at his words.
In fact, she can completely ignore the life and death of these people. After all, to her, they are just NPCs in her mission. However, this world is the world she has stayed in the longest, almost since she was born. It can be said to be her second hometown.
She couldn't bear it if the entire Duke of Qing was in trouble because of her. But if she is caught, she will not survive tomorrow. If the mission fails, she will not be able to return to her real home.
Zheng Xiyao thought about it, but couldn't think of a way to get the best of both worlds. Finally, she took a deep breath and looked at the richly dressed and picturesque young man from an aristocratic family.
"I'll go back with you."
Zheng Xiyao said to Zheng Siqi.
Zheng Siqi's eyes trembled slightly, and the hand holding the sword shook a few times. After many battles on the battlefield, Zheng Siqi never blinked when faced with thousands of enemy troops. Now he couldn't even hold his sword steady.
Because he knew what his sister would face this time.
"Is grandma in good health, and father, is he angry?" Zheng Xiyao was at ease and asked what she wanted to know that had been hidden in her heart.
"Grandma has been bedridden since she heard about you. As for my father, he can still hold on. But he is ready to resign from Your Majesty and take up his official post to return to Tongcheng."
Zheng Xiyao turned around suddenly.
For a moment, Zheng Xiyao felt as if she had been stung in the heart, and a trace of pain flashed in her eyes.
He wanted to say something, but didn't know where to start. Zheng Siqi saw Zheng Xiyao's changes and finally made a decision.
"Let's go." Zheng Siqi suddenly put down the sword in his hand and wiped the blood from the woman's face. He said in a deep voice, "If you leave, don't come back again." Zheng Siqi also knew that if Zheng Xiyao went back with him, she would either die or be worse than dead.
This is her sister. She is the sister he has held in his hands and loved since childhood.
"Brother!" Zheng Xiyao hasn't reacted yet.
"Let's go before I change my mind!"
Zheng Xiyao woke up from her elder brother's scolding and bit her lips: "Brother, I have not collaborated with the enemy or treason, you believe me." She left these words and used Qinggong to leave gracefully.
Zheng Siqi looked deeply at the direction Zheng Xiyao left and murmured: "Brother, how could you not know that you are my sister and the daughter of the Zheng family?"
"Your Majesty, come with us, Your Majesty is still waiting."
Zheng Siqi followed the eunuch's gaze and found that around the corner, there was a group of people dressed in noble attire. It was Liu Siyan, the current emperor of Shu.
He inserted the sword into his waist and followed him with swift strides.
"Let her go." Liu Siyan blew the tea in his mouth and asked calmly to Zheng Siqi, who was kneeling on one knee.
"Yes, I know the crime. Please punish me."
"Punishment? Your eldest son, Duke Qing Guo, dares to resist the decree, and Duke Qing Guo's daughter collaborates with the enemy and treason. Let me see if Duke Qing Guo will raise an army to rebel."
"Your Majesty, I don't dare, and neither does the Duke of Qing."
"Don't dare." Liu Siyan's expression suddenly changed, and he threw the teacup in his hand towards the kneeling man.
The man soaked in tea was in a miserable state, but still remained unmoved.
"Heh, okay. Come on, take me down here!"
With an order, the guards stepped forward and took Zheng Siqi away.
"Zheng Xiyao, Zheng Xiyao." Liu Siyan said the name repeatedly with a strange smile.
