"Hey, our guest is back, what can we have for dinner?" The waiter, who had just finished working on a table, saw Wuming walking in the door and greeted him warmly. This was his God of Wealth.
Wuming nodded and said, "Coming to the table is different from lunch."
"Okay." The waiter agreed quickly.
Wuming found an empty table and sat down, thinking about how to find people from the Blood God Cult. Just having a powerful weapon was not enough. If he couldn't find people, it was of no use.
When the waiter finished serving the food, Wuming asked the waiter while eating: "Are there any missing persons cases in the city recently?"
The waiter was about to say no, but then he thought of something, "Your Majesty, I don't know. Several strange things have happened in the imperial city in recent years." After saying this, the waiter stopped again.
Wuming knew that he took out a few taels of broken silver and threw it to the waiter. When the waiter saw the silver, he smiled from ear to ear. He quickly put away the silver and said quickly: "It is rumored that several people disappeared in the east of the city at the beginning of the year. How many people disappeared in the east of the city?" When the Queen of Heaven reappeared, she was already a corpse with all the blood drained from her body. It was said to be terrifying, but we are still safe."
Wuming's eyes narrowed slightly. When the waiter mentioned being drained of blood, he knew he was in the right place. It was most likely that people from the Blood God Cult were arresting people to suck blood. He would go to the east of the city to investigate tonight.
"By the way, Sir, let me tell you that the Seventh Princess was originally going to go out for a parade today. For some reason, she disappeared when the parade reached the west of the city, which frightened the soldiers responsible for guarding. If something happens to the Princess, then But they are all going to lose their heads." The waiter smiled and said the gossip he heard from others.
Wuming smiled and said nothing. This had nothing to do with him. Although he promised Liu Miaoyun that he would win the first place in the martial arts competition, Wuming would not let him stand in the way of his revenge.
As night falls, most people in Dayan Emperor City are not staying at home like Lishan Town. There are many young people who are still playing outside, and many vendors are still trying hard to buy more goods.
In a small street in the east of the city, a young man was strolling slowly on the road. It was Wuming who came here to investigate. He pretended to be like a passerby and watched as he walked, but in fact his eyes kept shifting, trying to find the suspicious person.
Wuming was all surprised. This was indeed the capital of a country. It was extremely prosperous. Even at night, thousands of lights illuminated it as if it were daytime. Even if there were a lot of people, Wuming knew that if the danger was hidden in the shadows where the light could not reach, Always waiting to drag people into darkness.
When Wuming walked somewhere, he suddenly felt something was wrong. The place was very clean. He raised his head and looked forward. He saw a high red wall standing in front of him. There was no one approaching for a hundred meters in front of the high wall. From time to time, there was someone in front of the high wall. A platoon of soldiers patrolled ahead.
When the soldiers found Wuming, they immediately stepped forward and yelled: "The palace is 100 meters away. No one is allowed to approach. Violators will be responsible for the consequences! Anyone who dares to approach again will be shot without mercy!"
Wuming understood clearly in his heart that this was the imperial palace of the Dayan Kingdom. No wonder ordinary people did not dare to approach it. Wuming immediately turned around and left. A small door under the high vermilion wall was opened from the inside, and two figures quickly ran out from the door. , the latter person said anxiously: "Princess, if I help you run out this time, I will be punished again."
This voice was crying, as if he had suffered a lot of grievances. The person in front turned around and patted his chest and said: "Okay Xiaoru, don't cry. Don't worry, I will support you this time. Let's see who dares to bully you." After that, the crying subsided a little.
"This time I sneak out of the palace to play, I must not let my father know about it. I must keep a low profile outside the palace and don't call the princess a miss." The person behind him nodded in agreement.
Suddenly, Liu Miaoyun noticed a familiar figure not far away in front of her. Her eyes lit up and she ran quickly. Seeing her master running over in such excitement, the maid was also stunned and hurriedly chased Liu Ruyan.
Before Wuming could go far, he heard someone from behind shouting: "Li You, wait!" Wuming didn't respond at first, and continued to walk by himself. After walking a few steps, he remembered that Li You told him Liu Miaoyun's name.
When he turned around, he saw Liu Miaoyun running up to him panting, with a little maid following behind him. He was a little surprised. Did Liu Miaoyun come out of the palace?
Before Liu Miaoyun could take a breath, she heard Wuming ask: "Why did you come out of the palace so late at night?"
Liu Miaoyun was stunned for a moment, and then smiled after taking a breath: "No, did I tell you that the seventh princess is my good friend, as close as a biological sister? She will get married in a while, so she came to talk to me until night I just let me out." After saying that, Liu Miaoyun gave Xiaoru, the weird-looking maid behind him, a look, and the latter immediately put away the weird look on her face and returned to normal.
"After asking me, it's my turn to ask you, why are you here in the middle of the night? Are you here to have a private meeting with some palace maid?" Liu Miaoyun had a smile on her face, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and the dark night gave her a bit of charm.
Wuming shook his head, "Ah, are you here to assassinate the emperor?" Liu Miaoyun opened her mouth wide and put a hand in front of her mouth, pretending to be surprised.
"Ouch!" Liu Miaoyun cried out in pain. Wuming put away the hand that had just given Liu Ruyan a blow to her head. Xiaoru was frightened by what happened in front of her. Who is this person? How dare you treat the princess like this? He seems to be the princess's friend, but I have served the princess for so many years and I don't know this person.
After thinking about it, Xiaoru decided to remain silent. Her master didn't seem angry. Why did she, a servant, care so much? .
"You said we met once in the afternoon and again in the evening. Isn't it a good fate?" Liu Miaoyun stared at Wumingxiao with a smile and asked.
Wuming was stunned and did not answer.
"I heard that the night market in the east of the city is very lively, so let's go out for a stroll." After hearing Wuming's words, she knew that Wuming was out to play. Liu Miaoyun was very happy, "Let's continue shopping. I will play with you, Xiaoru. You go back first, and if anyone asks you, just say wait until I get back."
Liu Miaoyun grabbed Wuming's hand and ran towards the night market, leaving Xiaoru who was stunned in place and messy in the wind.
Wuming was confused by Liu Miaoyun and didn't know what to say, so he was dragged away by her. He was thinking about what kind of excuse he should find to leave later, and how he should investigate the Blood God Sect if she kept dragging him away.
"Hey, do you think this looks good?" While Wuming was still thinking, he was pulled by Liu Miaoyun to a stall selling masks. There were various masks on it, and there were various animals and... There are flowers and plants.
At this time, Liu Miaoyun held up a pink pig head mask in front of her face. The swaying smile of the pig head made Wuming laugh, "Hey, hey, you smiled. You have a stinky face all day long. How beautiful it looks when you smile." The mask. Hou Liu Miaoyun's curved eyes overlapped with the crescent-shaped eyes on the mask.
"Brother, if you see how much your wife likes this mask, just buy it." The mask stall owner saw something interesting and said quickly. When the stall owner said that Liu Miaoyun was the unknown lady, the pretty face behind the mask couldn't help but turn red.
"We don't..." Before Wuming could say that they were not a couple, Liu Miaoyun took out a piece of silver and threw it to the stall owner, "If there are not so many, why don't you see which ones you like and I'll pack them up for you. ." The stall owner was overjoyed when he caught the money and quickly sold other masks.
"No, just this one, there's no need to look for the rest." It was obvious that Liu Miaoyun was very happy, and after saying that, she pulled Wuming towards other stalls.
"You two, please go slowly." Seeing them leaving, the stall owner hurriedly greeted them, saying in his heart that he had made a lot of money. This piece of silver was enough to buy several masks.
The two of them walked past countless stalls, Wuming was the first to say goodbye, and then the two left on their own.
Wuming was sitting cross-legged on the bed of the inn. After thinking about what to do next, he concentrated on practicing and trying to improve his cultivation.
On the other side, somewhere in the Dayan Palace, a maid in the princess's room was standing beside the bed. Although she was fighting hard, her head was nodding down from time to time, and her eyes had already narrowed into slits.
"Xiaoru! I died so miserably!"
"Ah!" The palace maid didn't feel much at first, but when she opened her eyes and saw a pink pig head shaking its head in front of her, the fear in her heart spread throughout her body, frightening her, and she unconsciously took a few steps back, her back He stopped when he leaned against the bed.
Before Xiaoru could recover, she heard a burst of laughter and saw Liu Miaoyun waving a mask in her hand, unable to stop laughing.
"Princess, you scared me again!" Xiaoru was so frightened that she almost cried. She felt aggrieved when she saw it was Liu Miaoyun.
"Okay, okay." Seeing Xiaoru being so angry, Liu Miaoyun stopped laughing when she knew she had gone too far.
"Xiaoru, go find a wooden box. I want to put this in." Liu Miaoyun ordered, waving the mask in her hand.
After Xiaoru brought the wooden box and Liu Miaoyun installed the mask, he couldn't help but ask: "Princess, who was that person before? You seem to like him quite a lot."
They had been together for many years, and if she were the maid of another princess and asked her master, she would definitely be punished, and she might even lose her life.
"He, do you still remember that I was banned some time ago?" Liu Miaoyun did not answer directly.
"Well, that time you prepared birthday gifts for His Majesty's birthday banquet and left the palace. I heard that you almost couldn't come back. Could it be that?" Xiaoru told everything she knew.
"Well, that's right, that's when I met him. If it weren't for him, I would have stayed there. That time Zheng Qian colluded with Sister Wuhuang and caused me to fall off the cliff. If he hadn't caught me, I wouldn't be here now. Ah, it's probably gone a long time ago." Liu Miaoyun still had lingering fears about that fall off the cliff.
Last time they brought Zheng Qian back to the palace and told the Emperor Dayan, her father, about it. The emperor was furious and ordered a thorough investigation of the matter. Finally, during the interrogation of Zheng Qian, they learned that a minister called him Although the person who did this did not directly say that he was the Fifth Princess, anyone with a discerning eye knew that the minister was from the Fifth Princess's faction.
The fifth princess and Liu Miaoyun are both princesses, but Emperor Dayan obviously prefers Liu Miaoyun. This makes the five princesses jealous of Liu Miaoyun for a long time. They originally wanted to take this opportunity for Liu Miaoyun to go out and let her die in an accident, but Wuming happened to kill Liu Miaoyun. rescued, causing her plan to be exposed.
