After His Majesty was reborn, the poor little girl in his previous life was spoiled to death
Chapter 149 Human Sea Tactics
Ning Er turned to look at him, her eyes widened: "Ling Wei, you are so childish."
Chu Huan refused to agree: "How is that childish? Ning'er, tell me, who is more important, Lord Shen or me?"
Ning'er's ears turned red: "What are you comparing?" Her voice was smaller than a mosquito: "You are you, and the Marquis is the Marquis. They are completely different."
Chu Huan was unwilling to let her fool him so easily: "Then tell me, what's the difference?"
Ning Er was helpless. Ling Wei was usually so calm, how could he be so childish on such a question? She could only explain in a low voice: "The Marquis is the elder."
Chu Huan raised a smile: "Well, I'm not Ning'er's elder."
Ning'er didn't want to pay attention to him. She shook Chu Huan's shoulder and whispered in his ear, "Why do you still have time to think about these things? Have you forgotten that we are following someone?"
Chu Huan smiled softly and held the little girl a little higher: "Who forgot? I remember it."
His steps were quick and light, and it didn't take long for him to reach the end of the corridor. The back door on the north side leading to the outer street was ajar. With a gentle push, it opened inward.
Light poured in instantly, and Ning'er subconsciously raised her hand to cover her eyes. When she opened her eyes again, she saw Chu Huan leaning against the light to look at the mark on the ground.
Ning Er asked in surprise: "Why is this door open?"
Chu Huan put her on the ground and straightened her skirt. "This is the back door leading to the street. I guess the woman didn't get the key, but she bribed the gatekeeper. She didn't lock the door tonight."
Ning Er asked hurriedly, "Isn't that very dangerous? What if a bad guy sneaks in during the chaos?"
Chu Huan smiled and said, "The Shen family rose to prominence through military exploits, so most of the servants and guards in the family have experience in martial arts. How could an ordinary petty thief come to the Xinyuan Marquis's mansion to cause trouble for me? Besides, the door to the inner courtyard is locked, and this back door is just a decoration to separate the inside and the outside."
"But you're right. It seems that Shen Chongyan is injured, and the Shen family is in chaos. They can't even guard the door."
He stood up and pointed to the east: "The woman went that way."
Ning'er looked at him and thought he was just like the detective in the story. He determined the man's whereabouts just by looking at the traces around him. She couldn't help but admire him: "Lingwei, how did you know? You are amazing!"
Chu Huan showed an unfathomable smile and kept it a secret: "Guess?"
Ning'er racked her brains: "Did the woman come out in a hurry and leave a flaw when she pushed the door, or did she drop something on the threshold and you found it?"
Chu Huan laughed out loud. He rarely laughed so happily. It was like the sound of oars shattering the Qinhuai moon and rippling the starlight. "Good Ning'er, I don't have the ability of a great detective."
He clapped his hands, and suddenly a warrior in black wearing a double-breasted armor flashed out from the shadows, bowed his head and kowtowed to him: "Master."
Chu Huan pointed at the man and smiled at the startled Ning Er, "When I entered the mansion, I ordered my men to guard the four gates of the mansion. Anyone who enters or leaves, no matter who it is, should be recorded and reported. What I saw just now was not a clue, but a mark left by the person who was following me."
The black-clothed warrior hurriedly replied, "Master is wise. Brother Ding San just chased after the brown-clothed woman and left me here to guard."
Ning Er was stunned. How could this be done? No wonder Chu Huan was not in a hurry when he chased out of the house. He was not afraid of losing the person at all.
It turns out that Chu Huan's tracking of the suspect was not based on any ingenious strategy or keen eyes, but purely on human power to wait and catch the turtle in the urn.
We have our own people stationed at every door, and everyone entering and leaving is watched. Who can escape?
Wouldn't that mean that all her worries were in vain? She glared at him angrily, "You are so bad. Why didn't you tell me earlier? And you deliberately coaxed me out."
Chu Huan suppressed his laughter and said, "Good Ning'er, I really wasn't kidding you. If we hadn't chased her all the way here, how would they know where the real person came out from? Besides, my people are guarding outside the walls of the Marquis' Mansion. If she didn't leave the mansion, they would be useless."
Ning Er asked, "What should we do now? Should we follow them?" She came to her senses at this moment and began to worry about the things in the mansion: "I have been out for so long, how should I explain to the old lady when the time comes?"
Chu Huan comforted her: "The night is long and dreams are many. Now that you are out, you might as well get to the bottom of it."
He blinked at Ning'er with a sly look on his face: "As for the old lady of the Shen family, I'm afraid she can't take care of you at this moment."
------
At the street corner outside the main gate of Xinyuan Marquis's Mansion, there were several carriages parked. The most eye-catching one was a large, square, pitch-black carriage with its curtains drawn, revealing two people sitting opposite each other inside.
The young man on the left had fair skin and red lips, and his eyes showed impatience. He was complaining to the stern man on the right: "You are just letting His Majesty act alone? If something unexpected happens, who can take responsibility?"
The person who spoke was Lu Kui. Xiao Ding didn't even move his eyebrows. Except for His Majesty and the young lady, he always had an icy face in front of everyone else.
He said calmly: "Your Majesty is arbitrary. How can you and I influence his decision?" He raised his eyes and glanced at Lu Kui: "What's the point of worrying now? Why didn't Lord Lu give advice just now?"
Lu Kui was furious: "Anyway, it is you who is in charge of the Holy Imperial Passenger Transport Company, not me. You don't know what is good for you, so don't come to me for help if something goes wrong."
Xiao Ding said quietly, "You have lived happily in Luliang for so long, but you still don't know the temperament of His Majesty now. How can you and I interfere? For the sake of our years of working together, I will give you a piece of advice."
"As subordinates, we should not say anything about anything related to the name Shen or the Xinyuan Marquis' Mansion. We should just listen carefully and obey orders."
Lu Kui's expression changed constantly. He asked in a low voice, "Xiao Ding, are you referring to the master hiding in the Marquis' Mansion? His Majesty has also given your successor to that person to serve him."
Xiao Ding's expression became even colder. He glared at Lu Kui and said, "When will you learn some taboos with your mouth? If you cause trouble again next time, don't expect me to plead for you."
Lu Kui's eyes fell on Wuxiang's shiny black fur, and he snorted softly, "How could he escape my eyes? Your Majesty even rode out Wuxiang's horse. While he's not around, just tell me who you are, so I can avoid him in the future."
Xiao Ding rolled his eyes: "Why don't you just ask His Majesty directly."
Lu Kui did not take it as an offense, but asked with great interest: "Is it a boy or a girl? Is it old or young? You can at least tell me something, right?"
Xiao Ding simply closed his eyes and ignored him.
Lu Kui pretended to be angry and said, "Xiao Ding, don't forget that in terms of rank, I am your superior. You rely on the fact that you are His Majesty's personal guard and don't take me, the commander, seriously!"
Xiao Ding replied casually, "But you are half a level higher than me. Maybe one day you will lose control of your words and be kicked out by His Majesty in the blink of an eye."
Lu Kui picked up the copper stove in the car and was about to smash it on him. At this moment, both of them paused: "Did you hear that?"
Xiao Ding reacted faster and had already bent down and got out of the carriage: "Quick, it's His Majesty. He's leaving the palace in the northwest direction!"
