The Adventures of the Crying Princess
Chapter 9 Stay
The black shadow jumped up and down with light skills, and was aware of someone behind him. Soon, the two of them left the city and came to a valley.
Bai Yimeng followed the other person to a shallow cave. The man suddenly stopped, looked around, and walked in without noticing anything unusual.
After waiting for a while, he saw the man enter the cave. After a while, Bai Yimeng confirmed that there was no ambush around, and then he followed him in. As soon as he stepped into the cave, he felt something tied up his feet, and then he was knocked down.
Suddenly, the walls of the cave lit up with fire. A short man walked forward, tilted his neck to look at Bai Yimeng, and said to the man who came out of the palace, "Old Five, how could you be so careless that you didn't even notice you were being followed. If it wasn't for Little Six patrolling at night and noticing something was wrong, I'm afraid this kid would have really taken over our lair."
Bai Yimeng then noticed the short man in front of him, staring at him with his small eyes, looking him up and down. Behind him followed five or six men, tall and short, fat and thin, all gathered together, and their clothes were not much different from beggars.
The man called Lao Wu was the odd-job man in the palace, and his name seemed to be Liu San. "Boss, it's my fault that I was in a hurry and didn't pay attention. Who would have thought that this new guy could do Kung Fu, and he's so good at it."
"It seems that Prince Yi has become suspicious. You have to be more careful in what you do in the future." The shorty looked worried and touched his chin.
"Boss, you are right. I will be more alert from now on. But...how should I deal with this now?" Liu San nodded at Bai Yimeng.
"Kill him? Do you need me to teach you? You're brainless!" The short man pushed Kai Zhang Ergou angrily.
"Boss, I'm Xiaoliu. Someone knocked me out and disguised himself as me. Boss, save me." Bai Yimeng looked around and quickly confirmed that the youngest one was Xiaoliuzi, who had a similar build and appearance to him.
"Boss, what nonsense!" Xiaoliu couldn't sit still anymore, he jumped up, pinched his waist and pointed at Bai Yimeng and cursed. This guy really looked like a little boy of thirteen or fourteen, skinny, small, with a dirty face.
After all these years of wanting to be a gangster, Bai Yimeng has a bit of a bandit vibe to her. Not to mention imitating a little bandit, even imitating a murderous and arsonist bully is no problem.
The two of them each had their own reasons, and the shorter brother was at a loss for words.
"Boss, ask him to tell us about Xiaoliu's hobbies. If he can tell, then it's true. If he can't... then it's false." Liu San's IQ finally came online at this moment. He raised his neck proudly, as if he had done something great.
"Stupid!" The shorty jumped up and slapped Liu San. "Xiao Liu just opened this morning. God knows what he likes. How would I know who is right?"
Liu San rubbed his head, looking angry but unable to speak. He looked around aggrievedly and hung his head.
Bai Yimeng blinked his big innocent eyes, revealing a childish face, "Boss, put me down first. I can't run away with so many people around. I have evidence here. Let me confront that guy face to face, and I guarantee I will give you a satisfactory answer."
The people behind the short winter melon were almost all satisfied with this suggestion. A skinny monkey interrupted, "Boss, why don't we just let her go? With so many people, how can we be afraid of a child? If this gets out, our village will be too embarrassed to face anyone."
"Well, what Lao San said makes sense. If the people from Liujia Village across the street knew about this, I would never be able to face anyone again. Go and release her."
Bai Yimeng would untie the rope, both out of boredom and to find out something. Looking around, he saw that this was probably their temporary base. There were a lot of food scraps in the cave, and it looked like more than five or six people had lived here before. There were also blood stains on the opposite wall, perhaps this group of people were good at killing people.
What surprised Bai Yimeng was that the threshold to become a bandit was so low nowadays that there wasn’t even an IQ test or anything like that.
In fact, she didn't expect the bandits to agree, and she planned to use her inner strength to break free from the ropes and then hand them over to Yi Tong.
Now it's good, she doesn't have to work so hard. After being untied, Bai Yimeng flashed and moved in front of several people. She quickly killed five or six people. She walked out of the cave with a swagger and pulled out the flare that Yuwen Ji gave her and released it.
Not long after, Yi Tong arrived with a team of secret guards. He looked at Bai Yimeng with joy in his eyes. He patted Bai Yimeng on the shoulder and said, "Ziyin did a good job. Although you are young, you are quite capable. You must be hungry. Here is half a roasted sweet potato for you."
Bai Yimeng really wanted to say: I don’t want to eat it.
Unfortunately, her stomach was spineless and cried out. Yi Tong smiled and stuffed the roasted sweet potato to Bai Yimeng, "Don't be embarrassed, we are good brothers from now on. You are young, so don't watch the interrogation later, it's scary." After saying that, he led the people into the cave.
Yi Tong was in charge of the interrogation and arranging the whereabouts of these people. Bai Yimeng didn't care at all, just waited for Yi Tong to handle it and take her back to Prince Yi's Mansion for breakfast.
When the group returned to the palace, Yuwen Ji had just left the morning court. Seeing Bai Yimeng's dusty appearance, he walked up to her and brushed off the dust on her face and body, "Mr. Long, you have worked hard. I passed by Xingyuxuan and bought some breakfast. Can you please come and do me a favor?"
Yi Tong knew what was going on and saw that Yuwen Ji had something to say to Bai Yimeng, so he told the brothers to leave. Nanny Sun came out of nowhere and walked forward without a look of courtesy. The group of people quickly stopped her, "Nanny, the dish you made yesterday was really delicious. Give the brothers a snack tonight."
"Your Highness, I made some glutinous rice balls. Would you like some?" Nanny Sun seemed not to hear Yi Tong's words and kept moving forward.
Seeing this, Yi Tong quickly stopped Madam Sun, snatched the plate mischievously, and shared it with his brothers, "Brothers, why don't you thank Madam Sun quickly? If Madam Sun hadn't taken pity on us, we would still be hungry here."
Nanny Sun's face looked a little unhappy. She was about to get angry, but was suppressed by Yi Tong's flattery.
Yuwen Ji ignored all this and took Bai Yimeng straight to the study. He skillfully brought out the breakfasts one by one and pushed them in front of her attentively, "It's still hot, try it."
Crab roe steamed dumplings and crystal buns were Bai Yimeng’s favorite foods in the past.
Now...she only felt irony when she looked at it, as if it was mocking her stupidity.
"Don't you like it?" Seeing that Bai Yimeng didn't react, Yuwen Ji took out another plate of four-happiness meatballs from under the food box as if performing magic.
"I'm not hungry, Your Highness, please eat by yourself." Bai Yimeng had tears in her eyes and tried hard to utter each note steadily.
Four Joy Meatballs were her mother's best dish in the past. Now that her family members were gone, seeing the things reminded her of them, how could Bai Yimeng not feel sad?
"Mr. Long is too proud to serve as a guard in the palace. I can understand that. Name a price. As long as I can afford it, Mr. Long can just say it." Yuwen Ji didn't seem to notice Bai Yimeng's expression. He lowered his head and fiddled with the plate.
Bai Yimeng wanted to tell him: I am not short of money. But she thought that having money in her pocket would not hinder her from playing a prank on the Yuwen family, and it might even be more convenient.
Suddenly, Bai Yimeng was attracted by a strange smell, and his eyes were fixed on the half-dish of sweet-scented osmanthus cake on Yuwen Ji's table. Thinking of something, he picked it up and smelled it, "If the prince has time, please investigate the chef in the mansion. The rice wine and eight-treasure duck for yesterday's dinner were both tampered with.
It is a slow-acting poison, but it is not very toxic. The person who poisoned it must be an expert in using poisons, and the dosage is well controlled, so it will not be noticed in a short period of time. Long-term use can cause mental disorder or even death. "
Yuwen Ji raised the corner of his lips, "Master Long, do you agree to stay?"
"Five hundred taels of silver a month, plus a two-acre piece of good land on the outskirts of the city. By the way, my uncle is old, and he shouldn't live in the palace and suffer. Buy me a villa on the outskirts of the city." Bai Yimeng knew that these were nothing to Prince Yi. It was not that she was generous, but she might take advantage of this fool in the future.
"Okay, I will do whatever you say." Yuwen Ji agreed without hesitation.
Just when Bai Yimeng was full of energy, his stomach growled again. The sound was probably heard clearly by everyone outside Prince Yi's mansion. His energy, which was originally full, fell back to where it was in an instant.
"Mr. Long, if you don't mind, would you please force yourself to eat some?" Yuwen Ji smiled and pushed the crab meat dumplings a little further.
Since it was already so embarrassing, the most important thing was to fill his stomach. Bai Yimeng ate a lot without caring about his image.
Looking at Bai Yimeng's eating habits, Yuwen Ji couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips and handed over a handkerchief calmly.
"Thank you."
"Eat slowly. I won't snatch it from you." Yuwen Ji served Bai Yimeng a bowl of soup. "Drink the soup slowly and don't choke. This is all yours."
"Your Highness, don't want to eat?" Bai Yimeng was just being polite. It was exactly what she wanted if Yuwen Ji didn't eat. This little bit of food was not enough to fill her stomach.
"I'm not hungry." Yuwen Ji watched Bai Yimeng eat, and felt indescribably at ease in his heart. How could he know what it felt like to be hungry?
In the blink of an eye, the table was full of dishes. After eating and drinking, Bai Yimeng took out a pen and paper and wrote a prescription, "Yesterday's poison is not difficult to cure. This is the antidote."
"You actually know all this." Yuwen Ji's eyes flashed with excitement. He looked at the prescription and then at Bai Yimeng, his eyes full of disbelief.
"Don't worry, my medical skills are very good. Although I can't bring the dead back to life, I can still treat common difficult and complicated diseases. If the prince gets an incurable disease one day, just let me know. Don't be polite."
Bai Yimeng's subtext is, when you get a difficult and complicated disease, I promise to send you to the path to paradise.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Bai Yimeng's words were not pleasant to hear, but Yuwen Ji did not think much about it, thinking that she was just a child who spoke without any taboos. After all, his Xiaobai had the same temper in the past.
"You're welcome. After all, you're taking money from others and helping them get rid of their misfortunes." After Bai Yimeng left, Yuwen Ji looked at the leftovers silently, with a hint of loneliness in his eyes.
For some reason, Long Ziyin reminded him of his own Xiao Bai. Suddenly, his eyes turned red unconsciously.
"Master, Lord Su is here."
Yuwen Ji didn't want anyone to see his red and swollen rabbit eyes, so he waved his hand and said, "Say I'm not here."
Su Beichen pushed the door open and came in. "Why, you don't even see me? Hey, what's wrong with your eyes? Are you crying?
Prince Yi, please don't tell me that you are here to feel sad. Don't say anything nonsense like the sand blinded your eyes. We are all grown men, so tell me which girl you like?"
