The Adventures of the Crying Princess

The 20th day of the 12th month of the 30th year of Chengde

Near Daxing Imperial City

Bai Yimeng ran in the snow, stepping on the white snow and braving the strong wind. She wanted to go to Beijing before New Year's Eve, to the place she loved and feared at the same time, the imperial capital.

It was not a wise idea to travel at night in the snow. Suddenly, I saw a little fire not far away. I tiptoed and came to the house.

I knocked on the door, and soon the waiter came to open the door, "Oh, it's a young man, please come in."

After years of wandering around, she no longer had the delicateness of a girl, but had gained some strength. She was dressed in men's clothes, holding a short knife, and looked very timid. With years of experience, she knew at a glance that this was a shady shop.

"No wine, just a plate of beef, a dish of peanuts, and a serving of rice." He brushed off the snow on his body and sat down.

Not long after, the waiter brought the food. Bai Yimeng sneered, pointing at the beef and peanuts and complained, "Crane's Beak Red, it's not pure, I'm afraid it's cheap stuff. Seven-Step Heartbreak Powder, I'm afraid you bought a fake, you have to check it carefully later."

After that, he continued to eat. He hadn't eaten for a day and a night, so he didn't care about the taste. Anyway, it wouldn't kill him. Bai Yimeng ate it in two or three bites. After eating, he picked his teeth and glanced at the store. The proprietress looked a little ugly, staring at Bai Yimeng as if he was a monster.

The waiter at the side was the first to recover and ran forward to explain, "I don't dare..."

Without waiting for the waiter to argue, Bai Yimeng waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I'll give you the money. Go away."

A guest not far from Bai Yimeng turned his head to look, then walked forward with a wine jug, "Would you like a drink, little brother?"

"No, it's the sect's rule that we are not allowed to drink when we are out in public." Bai Yimeng shook his head, but couldn't help but glance at the wine pot. "It's a pity that such a good wine will taste different if you add something to it. This gentleman, judging from his appearance, should not be from the Middle-earth. I wonder what's the matter with you coming from so far away?

Wait, let me guess. If you are doing business? You don’t have any goods, visiting relatives? You don’t dress like this. Maybe this gentleman is of noble status and has a big business. "

The word "big business" was deliberately emphasized. Bai Yimeng glanced at the other person nonchalantly.

The man laughed, "Young Master, you are very knowledgeable. Since you have seen through my identity, why don't you lend me some space to talk?"

The other party pulled Bai Yimeng to his seat. There were three other people at the same table. The man asked, "May I ask what your name is, sir?"

"Long Ziyin, may I know your name?"

"I don't deserve your honor. I am just a servant of a rich man who raises livestock. You can just call me Ruimu."

Bai Yimeng sneered secretly, how could she not know the other party's identity? This was her cover for entering Beijing.

This person is none other than the third prince of Xiling, Ruimuhertai. According to intelligence, this person is both intelligent and brave, and the favorite son of the King of Xiling. The princess who is to marry Daxing this time is Ruimuhertai's sister.

The sister and brother have a deep affection for each other. The sister was killed on the way to the marriage, so the brother naturally took his anger out on Daxing. His purpose of this trip was to assassinate the royal family of Daxing. After receiving the news, Bai Yimeng took the initiative to propose to go to the capital to stop their plan.

The people of Xiling are good at using charm and witchcraft to control people's hearts. If they succeed, the consequences will be disastrous.

Wan'an Valley had always ignored the affairs of the imperial court, and even after receiving this news, no one planned to send anyone to intervene directly. Bai Yimeng's proposal was naturally opposed by his master and fellow apprentices.

She didn't care about that. She just did what she thought. She stole the elixirs and weapons and left the valley overnight.

With a creak, the door of the inn was pushed open, and an old man covered in snow walked in. He shook off the snow on his body and called the waiter, "No wine, one plate of beef, one plate of peanuts, and one portion of rice."

Hearing the voice, Bai Yimeng shuddered unconsciously. The person who came was her master, the master of Wan'an Valley, Long Qiuyuan.

He calmed down and looked at Ruimuhertai, "Brother, you are amazing. You actually work for a noble. Look at your clothes. You must earn a lot. Unlike me, I was enslaved since I was a child and didn't have enough food to eat all day."

"You are still young. You will naturally be able to find a good job when you grow up." Ruimuhertai smiled and took a sip of wine.

"Small? I'm not small. Guess how old I am?" Bai Yimeng got ready to fool people.

"Looking at your appearance, you are probably only thirteen or fourteen years old."

"Yeah, you said so. Actually, I'm already seventeen.

When I was a child, my family was poor, there were many children, and we could not get enough food. My parents sold me to a monkey trainer, who asked me to call him Master.

Before I was five years old, I was forced to practice martial arts and train monkeys. If I didn't listen to him, he would beat me and not give me food. I'm seventeen now but I look like a thirteen or fourteen year old. I can't find an employer at all."

Bai Yimeng is small and a girl, so she looks pitiful even when she dresses up as a boy.

"Have you ever raised a monkey? Well, we are short of manpower here. If you don't mind, come and help Amu tomorrow." The burly man couldn't stand this.

Besides, they were from Xiling after all, and they needed a person from Daxing to move around in the capital, so they chose Bai Yimeng.

Otherwise, how could such a stupid trick have fooled Ruimuhertai.

Bai Yimeng has been traveling for many years and has a wide range of knowledge. She had a great time chatting with the four people at the table. In addition, she was a good liar, and she fooled the four people so much that they really regarded her as a hermit.

When he was in high spirits, Bai Yimeng forgot that his master was right behind him and threw all the nonsense about not drinking alcohol when going out to the wind.

The more they drank, the more they enjoyed themselves. The more they talked, the more they got along. The store owner sent them back to their rooms one by one.

Bai Yimeng was just pretending to be drunk. She had a good alcohol tolerance and none of the senior brothers in the valley could drink more than her. She became energetic when she returned to her room.

Taking advantage of the night, she planned to enter the rooms of several people to find out their true purpose. Just as she was about to leave, Dragon Valley Master pushed the door open and grabbed her ear, "I am a monkey trainer, and I don't give you food, right? You stinky girl, do you still have a conscience?"

"Master, be gentle. My ear has fallen off." Bai Yimeng begged for mercy with a playful smile, "I was just lying. Master has been the best to me. How could he not give me food?"

The Dragon Valley Master pulled the man to his side and threatened him, "You are not allowed to go anywhere. Tomorrow morning, go back to the valley with Master. Do you hear me?"

"I do not."

In the dim light, Bai Yimeng's eyes were full of stubbornness and persistence. Seeing that he couldn't scare her, Longgu Master softened, "Good boy, the capital is a place of tigers and wolves. You promised your master that you would never come here again."

"I have something to do. I will go back after I finish it and will not enter the capital." Bai Yimeng saw that his master looked unhappy, so he had to speak out his thoughts. "Master, did you hear it just now? Xiling Kingdom wants to send spies to infiltrate our capital. How scary is that?"

Master Longgu was not a three or four-year-old child. He grabbed his disciple's face and said, "Tell the truth."

"Master, please let go. I'm telling the truth." Bai Yimeng rubbed his face. Seeing that his master's expression had eased a little, he smiled and said his final thoughts, "Master, I can't hide anything from you. I want to sneak into Jingzhao Prefecture or the Ministry of Justice to redress my family's grievances. By the way, I want to make the Yuwen family restless and make my family members sleep poorly every night. I want them to live in regret forever."

Longgu Lord shook his head. "Your Bai family has been loyal and brave for generations. It was His Majesty Danxin who wiped out your entire family. How are you going to avenge this? Are you trying to kill the king? If you do something like this, how will you face your ancestors in the future?"

“I will not kill the king. I will not do anything that my father did not do.

Daddy commanded a large army in those days, and he never resisted the order to exterminate the whole family. I know that Daddy didn't resist because he was afraid of causing civil unrest and attracting foreign enemies. How could I cause chaos in the territory that Daddy protected with his life?

But this doesn't mean that I can't take revenge. I have other ways, and I've thought of them all. Please don't worry about it, Master."

Master Long Gu thought she was just talking to a child and rubbed his apprentice's head, "The Heavenly Family is the most ruthless. Your father and he are close friends. The two of them are as close as can be.

He was able to do such a thing, so his heart must have been hardened. You are just a child, what can you do? Go back with your master and don't make trouble, otherwise, your master will beat you?" He raised his palm and gestured in front of Bai Yimeng.

Bai Yimeng also took out his trump card, looking pitiful as if he was about to cry but couldn't. He said nothing, but stared at Lord Long with a pursed mouth.

Master and disciple duel, each relying on their own ability. In the end, Longguzhu was defeated, "Okay, Master has promised you. Master loves you and doesn't want you to get involved in this mess.

The grievances of your family need to be addressed, but it is not your job to do it."

The next morning, Ruimuhertai found Bai Yimeng and said, "Brother Long, from now on, you will follow Amu and let him take care of you for two days. After that, you will follow us and help raise animals for the master family."

Bai Yimeng didn’t know whether such an invitation counted as joining the partnership, but he just felt that things might not be that easy.

I heard from my second brother that many gangs take a long time to examine new members, so the death of an undercover agent is a great loss to the organization.

The one called Amu looked fierce and looked like he was not to be trifled with. He said he was teaching Bai Yimeng a lesson, but he was mainly using Bai Yimeng as a punching bag.

In order to fit in with the organization, Bai Yimeng endured it. In the middle of the night, he went to catch a bunch of water snakes and stuffed them into his shoes and robes. When he got up at night, he saw so many water snakes that even a strong man couldn't help but scream.

This went on for several days in a row, and everyone suspected that there was something wrong with Amu's brain. They called a doctor to take his pulse, and the doctor concluded that he was insane due to excessive shock.

Bai Yimeng was appointed to replace Amu. Ruimuhertai directly gave her his mount, a leopard, to take care of.

Bai Yimeng finally made progress. Regardless of whether the other party trusted her or not, she was finally able to get to the core of the secret.
