"They were taken away last month. I followed them secretly to a village outside the city. But there were people coming in and out of the village, so I didn't dare to get too close." Ming Sheng replied, and at the same time he relaxed fiercely. With this tone, the matter finally came to an end, and he could finally live up to the girl's trust.
Ming Sheng told what happened, but the truth was not as simple as he said. In order to get close to the fool, he did not hesitate to dress up as a beggar. A real beggar, who had nothing to eat every day and wore rags. People shun dirty clothes like snakes and scorpions.
In order to survive, they live in a dilapidated temple, which is watered by rain in summer and freezing in winter. Not only that, there are many beggars inside, even the beggars at the lowest level of society, even the beggars who are not as good as pigs or dogs in the eyes of others. His small team is willing to fight for a bite of food.
The beggars, who were looked down upon and bullied outside, even used fists and kicks against a dumb, dumb, and deaf man who had no power to fight back. The fool didn't know how to fight back, so he could bully him as much as he wanted.
Ming Sheng couldn't bear it every time he saw it, but every time he thought of what that fool had done, he felt that this was retribution.
He didn't think the girl had gone too far. Poor people must be hateful, and this was the end he deserved.
During the day, they would drag him to the streets to beg, using his stupid identity to gain sympathy and more money. The few coppers he begged were naturally snatched away by the strong beggars, and all that fell into his mouth was A mouthful of stolen water, a mouthful of pig food.
He went to great lengths to keep him alive.
So and so, finally one rainy night, the fool was taken away.
Mingsheng lowered his head, he was useless.
He followed quietly to check, but unfortunately, the Zhuangzi was extremely guarded, and he still could not find out who the owner was. In order to find out whose Zhuangzi it was, he even went to the Yamen to inquire, but the people from the Yamen actually questioned him about his origins. .
In this case, he did not dare to verify it blatantly.
"Have your identity been exposed?"
"No." Ming Sheng kept Xiao Ming's advice in mind and was always cautious. Even when the Yamen asked him about his identity, he cleverly avoided it. To this day, he has not recognized him as the dirty little beggar.
"Yeah." Xiao Ming nodded. As for Ming Sheng's arrangement, she specifically asked Jiang Sihai to get a household registration near the capital, just to prevent Ming Sheng from being cheated. The other party was so vicious, and Ming Sheng would definitely be alive. Danger.
"Don't worry, your tail has already been exposed. Sooner or later, your true form will be revealed. Remember to be careful and don't expose yourself." She was not in a hurry at all. She had already taken the first step, and the next steps would be easier. One day I can give him a hard blow.
The slender fingertips tapped the table regularly. Xiao Ming thought for a moment. Now that he had lured the snake out of the hole, Ming Sheng's identity as a beggar was no longer suitable. In this way, the next plan was put on the agenda.
After a full hour, Ming Sheng left. Xiao Ming looked at Xia Wu and said slowly: "Brother Xia Wu, will you tell Brother Shi."
"..." There was a crack in Xia Wuwannian's unchanged expression. Xiao Ming didn't want him to tell the Crown Prince that as the Crown Prince's personal guard, he couldn't hide anything from his master. Concealing anything would be disloyal.
In fact, the prince knows everything about Xiao Ming. The prince will ask about everything she does and make up for the shortcomings. Just like last time, if the prince hadn't secretly intervened, no matter how many people from the Four Seas Escort Agency It is impossible for a bodyguard to capture a group of gangsters without causing any damage.
This time, this matter is no exception, and the prince will definitely know.
Xia Wu had to admit that Xiao Ming's method was similar to that of Shi Ziye. He was fast, ruthless, and accurate. He could directly blind and maim people, and even turn them into fools. He didn't know what Xiao Ming used to break his hand. , but this did not prevent the deepest trembling in his heart.
The girl who pleases the prince is really different.
Kill decisively!
ruthless!
"I don't want him to interfere." Xiao Ming said calmly. She did not doubt that Shi Tingyu was spying on her and knew that she had arrested someone. However, knowing was one thing and intervening in management was another. He was in a war zone and she didn't want to cause him any trouble.
Moreover, she can solve her own problems by herself.
It took Xia Wu a long time to respond: "Yes." He would definitely express Miss Xiao's wishes to the prince.
After sending Shi Tingyu away, he discussed with Ming Sheng for several hours. When Xiao Ming walked out of the tavern, the sky became dark. The capital was still lively at dusk. The capital was no better than the small streets and alleys of Pingcheng. There was even a night market in the evening, with a variety of items and a wide variety of food.
The people in the capital did not go to bed at night like they did in Pingcheng. Instead, they were in a rare mood to go shopping and take a walk after a tiring day.
"Mom, I want a candy man." The little boy, who was being held by his mother, pointed at the small stall selling candy men in front of him and drooled. He was so attracted by the colorful candy men that he couldn't walk.
Seeing this, the young mother had to stop and look at the husband beside her with gentle eyes.
"Okay, buy, buy." The man waved his hand, felt in his pocket, and took out two copper coins from the few coins he had.
"Oh! Yeah! I want the little monkey." The little boy shouted happily, let go of his mother's hand and ran towards his favorite candy man.
"You child, be careful." The young mother called softly.
…
The family of three chose the candy man and continued shopping. Suddenly, the little boy cheered. He couldn't bear to eat that beautiful little candy man.
Xiao Ming looked at the family of three passing by and smiled. What a harmonious and happy family!
Xia Wu followed Xiao Ming from a distance, paying attention to the situation on the street from time to time. Looking at the back of the little girl in front, Xia Wu sensed a feeling of loneliness for the first time.
Maybe it's because of the prince's departure.
A young girl, unexperienced in the world, is so sad for a simple parting.
Suddenly, Xia Wu thought about himself. After experiencing too many deaths, he had become cold-blooded. He suddenly thought about his wife. He couldn't even remember what she looked like.
That year, Na married his wife in compliance with his parents' wishes. After only three days of marriage, he followed the prince to the battlefield. When he came back, his new wife had already left, leaving him only a brief letter.
There is no newlywed, no farewell is better than a new marriage. Her departure did not even bring anger to Xia Wu, it was even a kind of spiritual relief for him.
He doesn't hate her.
Xia Wu's expression remained unchanged and he kept a safe distance from Xiao Ming. He escorted her all the way into Min Mansion before leaving quietly.
