Mind Reading: The Road to Dominance of the Group’s Pet Princess

Xiao Anzi came back to his senses, his absent-minded eyes refocused, and he knelt down in front of Lu Chen, with tears streaming down his face. "Master Lu, the seventh princess disappeared at the entrance of Chunxiang Tower. Please look for the princess quickly!"

Lu Chun's expression changed, and a look of astonishment flashed in his eyes. He pulled Xiao Anzi up from the ground, "Tell me clearly, what exactly is going on? Didn't the princess travel without a guard?"

Xiao Anzi shook his head: "This trip was too rushed, so I didn't bring any guards."

Lu Chun stood up straight, his body extremely tense, and a ferocious look flashed in his eyes.

"Come here, seal the four city gates. No one can leave the city. Children between five and seven years old will be strictly checked. All boys and girls will be detained. All boxes and other containers that can hide people must be opened and inspected. There must be no trace. Error!"

The deputy general came from a distance and frowned after hearing the order: "Major General, this move is too ostentatious, I'm afraid you will be impeached."

Lu Chun was speechless and glanced at the deputy general coldly, the cold look in his eyes not concealed at all.

The deputy general couldn't help but lower his head, completely unable to imagine that such a sharp gaze would appear on a young man.

"I obey your orders."

"Qingtian, this matter is of great importance. We are not allowed to abandon any suspicious personnel. If there is a problem, I will be responsible for it myself."

"Yes."

Lu Chun got on his horse, ordered a group of people to leave, came to the door of Chunxiang Tower, pointed at the wonton stall and said: "Arrest the person and put him in prison for personal interrogation!"

The owner of the wonton stall looked panicked, with an innocent and frightened expression. He kept bowing to the soldiers: "My lord, I'm just selling wontons as I should. It's a small business. I really haven't done anything bad."

There was a beggar lying on the corner not far away. After seeing what was going on here, he immediately got up and left. Lu Chan looked back at the man, and then someone quietly followed him.

The people watching were talking a lot, and two soldiers raised their knives: "The government is handling the case, everyone stay back!"

At the same time, the four city gates were urgently blocked, and several oxcarts transporting fruits were slowly driving towards the west gate.

When they saw that the city gate was closed and the children and carriages were being inspected, the men standing beside the carriages looked at each other, changed the direction of travel without leaving a trace, and walked into a dilapidated courtyard in the west of the city.

After closing the door, several people looked nervous. The cross-eyed man was very anxious: "Boss, why was the city gate suddenly blocked? We were just a little bit away from getting out."

The man called the boss looked bored and replied impatiently: "How the hell do I know why the city gate is blocked? Quickly pull those brats out and lock them in the basement."

"The city gates won't be under martial law for long. Let's find a chance to leave the city again." Suddenly he thought of something, his triangular eyes narrowed, and he looked around at everyone with a sinister look. "Our principle is not to touch the children of rich families, so that's not the case. Someone must have kidnapped a child who shouldn't have been kidnapped."

The men who were swept away tensed up and promised repeatedly: "Brother, don't worry, brothers have been doing this for several years, and they will never make such a stupid mistake."

The eldest brother snorted coldly, "There is no best. What we do is all stupid work. If someone is ignorant, don't blame me for cleaning up the house!"

After saying that, he turned back to the room. The inquiry just now was just a routine attack. Some time ago, a few brothers used the same routine. When they kidnapped a child on the street, they were disturbed by a father and daughter who appeared out of nowhere. , that group of people were all arrested.

After that incident, it left a big shadow on everyone's mind. Since then, they have been more careful. They basically did not take much action during this period. It took many days to save ten children. They planned to give these children today Those who were transporting out of the city did not expect to be unlucky and were blocked in the city.

The remaining men unloaded the fruit boxes from the oxcart. There were baffles under the fruit boxes, and unconscious children were hidden inside!

To prevent children from waking up in the middle of the trip, they will be given a large amount of drugs before departure.

"It's bad luck, this is suffocating." The cross-eyed man kicked the child in the stomach, very angry.

"His grandma's, this one is no longer angry." Another man said.

"Brothers, please hurry up and send the living ones into the basement quickly. Otherwise, we will alert the eldest brother and we will all be scolded."

Several people threw the children into the basement one by one like animals.

Nalan Yunsheng's head hit the ground. The severe pain made her frown. When she opened her eyes, she found herself in a strange environment.

"Hey, aren't I eating wontons?"

"Little sister, you're awake." The little girl sitting next to her in coarse linen clothes asked.

"Well, where is this?"

"I don't know either, but we were abducted by Huazi. I'm afraid we will be sold far away." The little girl's face was dirty, and her eyes were full of fear of the unknown.

Nalan Yunsheng rubbed his head. She was really unlucky. I guess the owner of the wonton stall was also one of the people who took pictures. Seeing that she was alone, he added ingredients to her wontons.

Looking down, I saw that the brocade clothes on my body had been replaced by coarse linen clothes, and the pearl flowers on my head were missing.

Looking around, there were eight children, large and small, lying around, three more were sleeping, and the remaining five were sitting in different corners holding their knees. The older ones looked thoughtful, while the younger ones were shivering.

Nalan Yunsheng noticed that one of the little boys, although he was dressed in dirty clothes and was locked up with them, did not have the slightest panic in his eyes. His eyes were only alert and patrolling.

Like a jackal patrolling his territory, he is checking to see if there are enough of his prey.

Suppressing the discomfort in her heart, she began to think about ways to escape. Xiao Anzi would soon find out that she was lost, and the city would be under martial law. As long as they could delay for a little longer, their chances of being rescued would greatly increase.

The little girl wearing linen clothes next to her whispered: "I just discussed it with a few other older children. We arrived in the middle of the night... Well."

Nalan Yunsheng covered her mouth and said, "It's useless to tell me if you're hungry. I don't have anything to eat, but we can hug each other to keep warm."

As he spoke, he shrank into the little girl's arms, leaned into her ear and said, "The boy in the southeast corner has a problem, don't say anything more."

The little girl reflexively wanted to look in that direction, but another little hand grabbed her head hard to prevent her from moving.

"What should we do? With their people here, no matter what we do, we can't escape." The little girl's voice was filled with tears, but she tried her best to suppress her voice, leaving only a little breath.

Nalan Yunsheng held her hand tightly and encouraged: "Calm down, wait, someone will definitely come to save us."

The temperature in the basement grew cooler as the sun set, and several children snuggled together for warmth.

Nalan Yunsheng looked at the child in the southeast corner and said tentatively: "Little brother, come over and keep warm with us."
