After hearing His Highness's words, A'Piao was very helpless. When she went out to play for a while, she unexpectedly gained a brother. This was something she didn't expect. However, for her, the advantages of recognizing Hei Lu'er as her brother basically outweigh the disadvantages. If this guy wasn't so annoying, she would still be very happy.
She turned to look at Hei Lu'er, who raised his eyebrows at her in a sultry manner. She sighed silently in her heart. Why did she think that the commander was so unsmiling in the past? Why did she think that the commander was a serious and upright person before? This guy is just a fool.
"Okay, okay, you two should stop flirting." His Highness pushed Ah Piao forward, "Go and see what you like to eat. After you buy it, you can go see the magician, in case you are late. What should I do if I can’t catch it?”
"Miss, you know, I don't like eating these things very much."
"You don't like to eat, but Xiaorou likes to eat!" His Highness smiled at her, "When you go out, you have to buy something for her, right?"
"You're right, that little girl really likes to eat these." Ah Piao looked at the snacks, thinking of her sister's preferences, and randomly selected a few of her favorites, "Just these, shopkeeper Yes, not too much, just a little of each."
"Why did you buy so little?" His Highness waved his hand towards the shopkeeper and ordered, "She picked up all these she picked and picked at them. It's better not to buy them!"
"Okay, sir." The shopkeeper asked the boy to wrap up the snacks Ah Piao had chosen. He looked at His Highness and Ah Piao, and then at Hei Lu'er, "What else do you guys have?" do you need?"
"No more, check out!" His Highness patted Hei Lu'er on the shoulder, "Come on, follow the shopkeeper to check out."
Hei Luer couldn't help but smile, "Miss, how could you do this?"
"What's wrong with me? Are you unhappy?"
"How is that possible? It's a pleasure to serve two beautiful ladies."
As he spoke, Hei Luer made a very grandiose salute, which not only made the shopkeepers and waiters in the store laugh, but also His Highness and Ah Piao, who couldn't hold back their nerves and burst into laughter.
"Then what are you talking about?"
"Don't I also want to buy something I like to eat?" Hei Lu'er looked at His Highness pretending to be pitiful, "Is that okay?"
"Of course, how could it not work?" His Highness pulled Ah Piao to the door of the shop, "You choose, we won't watch and we won't laugh at you."
Ah Piao looked at Hei Lu'er and raised her eyebrows slightly. Hei Lu'er nodded slightly, signaling her to be calm and calm.
The shopkeeper followed Hei Luer step by step, looking at his fingers tapping lightly on his body from time to time, and occasionally taking a peek at the location of His Highness.
"I've picked it up." Hei Lu'er picked out a few snacks that His Highness and Piao didn't pick, and asked the shopkeeper to wrap them up. Then he threw a small piece of silver on the cabinet and raised an eyebrow at him. "These things we want will be left here with you for the time being. Someone will come and pick them up later."
"Okay, guest!"
Hei Lu'er knocked twice more, and when he saw the shopkeeper nodding towards him, he turned and walked towards the door.
"Everything has been ordered, let's go!"
His Highness nodded and pulled Ah Piao out of the door.
Ah Piao crossed the threshold and looked back at Hei Lu'er. He found that he was slowly following behind him. When he saw him turning around, he bared his teeth at him and showed a wicked smile.
After all three people left the shop and made sure they wouldn't try again, the boy approached the shopkeeper.
"Oh, I was so scared just now. His Highness is so famous that it is better to meet him. This momentum is so overwhelming!" The young man sighed, "Young man is so big that he doesn't dare to take a breath for fear of offending His Highness."
"Look at how promising you are!" The shopkeeper rolled his eyes with a very helpless expression, "However, I didn't expect that you have to arrange errands to buy preserves. But..."
"But what?" The young man sighed, "Everything is fine, why do two Liao people suddenly appear? Or are they from the Xiao family?"
"Why are there so many reasons? Let's just check it out if you ask me. Besides, we don't have enough details here? There's no need to make such a fuss." The shopkeeper touched his chin and took down the broken piece that Hei Lu'er had just thrown on the cabinet. Putting the money in the cash box, he saw the young boy looking at him and twitching his lips, "Okay, come to your senses. I've been gone for a long time, why are you still..."
"Boss, haven't I seen noble people before? I saw you all of a sudden, and I'm still a little uncomfortable with it. Why do you think His Highness suddenly wants to go out for a walk? Did something happen in the palace?"
"It's not our turn to worry about the nobles' affairs. Let's finish the errands ordered by the adults properly! From the looks of it, he should be in a hurry. If he finds out, he should send the news in as soon as possible."
"Okay, what do you need me to do?"
"In this way, you watch the shop from the front, wait for the brother that the adults said comes to pick up the things, and then close the shop. Don't go anywhere, go to the back and look through the files to see if there is any past news about the Xiao family that we have missed. of."
"When do you want to start watching?"
"It must have been twenty years ago, right?" The shopkeeper sighed, "My lord just told me in code that the Xiao brothers who set up a stall at the city gate have been here for more than ten years. If they really They were born in the Xiao family and had conflicts with the Xiao family. It must have happened before they came to Yiqing Mansion. We have to go back and check what happened in the Liao Kingdom and the Xiao family twenty or even thirty years ago. What’s going on, right?”
"Good guy, there's a lot to see here!" The boy nodded in agreement, and he thought about it carefully, "If it were thirty years ago..." He touched his chin, "I'm really impressed! "
"Talk about it!"
"I have read some files before. There was a major incident in the Xiao family thirty years ago. It was said that the Xiao family had evil intentions and wanted to kill his father and brother. Anyway, that's what it meant. It was related to seizing the title of head of the family. Later, The eldest brother's wife was defeated, and all the fifty-odd members of the family were expelled. I heard that the head of the Xiao family at that time even forced the King of Liao to issue an edict. Except for children under ten years old, everyone else was dragged to the busiest street in Linhuang Mansion. Ask Zhan." The young man shook his head slightly, "I wonder if these two brothers are the only remaining bloodline of the eldest brother."
"If it was such a serious crime, why would the Yelu family take him in?"
"Because he was wronged and plotted against. Later, when Yelvertu became king, the injustice of this family was redressed."
"So that's it." The shopkeeper nodded, "However, since your words are unfounded, you should go look through those files. If you can find them, write a statement and I will forward it to you, Your Majesty. You will be remembered. A credit to it.”
"I don't care whether you get credit or not." The young man waved his hand, "Don't worry, leave all these to me, and I won't miss your business." He looked at the shopkeeper who was about to walk back, "You What are you going to do?"
"Let's go check out the Xiao family's background. Brothers have already done a good job. You can find it by following the marks."
The shopkeeper and the boy here are busy investigating the past of Xiao Huang and Xiao Xiao, and investigating their deep grudge against the Xiao family. Over there, the young highness, A Piao and Hei Lu'er continue to stroll leisurely on the street. .
