The little sweetheart dressed as the ghost king

The next day, Xiji took the ink book, the cook who led the way, and several guards stood in front of the gate, watching the people coming and going outside, feeling very happy inside.

He has been here for so long, and he can finally go out and have a look.Weighing the purse given by the butler before coming out, Xiji waved his hand and said to the people behind him, "Come on, let's go shopping."

Mo Shu responded excitedly. Obviously, like his young master, he was also yearning for the outside world.

The cook's face was a bit tangled and she nodded. She now regrets why she said so much yesterday.It's just that it's too late to say anything now, I just hope that this journey will be safe and sound, and nothing will happen.

In this way, under the escort of disguised guards, Xiji and the others walked towards the market mentioned by the cook.

What they didn't know was that there were two groups of people staring at them not far away, watching them leave the mansion, each of them hesitated for a moment, but still followed.

Arriving at the location of the market, seeing the scene of people coming and going, Xiji felt a little excited, and walked towards it without thinking, and the people behind immediately raised their heels when they saw this.

Along the way, the food at those stalls made Xiji dizzy. He also saw a lot of rough workmanship but functional gadgets. What surprised him most was that he also saw some entertainers among them. .

Staring at those nimble artists, Xiji was dumbfounded, and moved forward involuntarily.When the people around saw such a well-dressed and good-looking little brother, they took the initiative to avoid him, for fear that if they accidentally bumped into him, they would be punished by the servants guarding him.

In this way, Xiji squeezed to the front of the crowd unknowingly. Looking at the superb acrobatic performances in front of him, when he saw them perform up the mountain of swords and go down into the sea of ​​fire, swallowing the hilt alive, he couldn't help but feel like the people around him. Exclaimed the same.

When the performance was almost over, a boy who was only about 5 or 6 years old held a small plate, collected the rewards one by one, and shouted loudly: "Thank you, everyone, those who have money will give money, and those who have no money will give money." Hold the personal field."

Xiji stared at the dirty little boy, seeing that his little face was flushed with cold, he lowered his head and opened the purse handed to him by the housekeeper, rummaged through it, weighed it for a while, and took out a small one that should be The not-so-precious pieces of silver came out, and when the boy came to him, he threw them in with a smile.

As soon as the broken silver fell into the copper plate, it made a crisp tinkling sound, which was particularly conspicuous among the scattered copper plates.

The little boy was obviously stunned, he didn't expect to receive the money, his eyes widened, he took out the money in disbelief, bit it, and quickly hid it in his bag.

After hiding the money, he raised his head to look at Xiji, and thanked him a few times cautiously. Seeing Xiji still staring at him with a smile, his already dark face deepened a bit.

When Xiji shot, not only the little boy was shocked, but even some people standing beside him saw it, and the eyes that fell on Xiji became complicated, but they soon saw those who were around him. When he seemed to have no protector, he concealed his inner thoughts.

Xiji didn't pay that much attention, but watched the kid finish collecting the money, then excitedly ran to the two performers, transferred the things in his arms to the adult, and pointed in his direction, the adult followed suit Seeing Xiji with his eyes, he saluted him.

Xiji accepted it with a smile, and after looking at it for a while, he turned and left. He still had a lot of places to look at, and he wanted to play enough this time when he came out.

So, he left the juggling booth and prepared to go to other places to continue looking.

After he left, a group of not-so-well-dressed men pointed at his back and murmured as they followed him not far away.

"Village chief, have you seen that? That brother is a piece of silver when he makes a move, and he is surrounded by those guards in the mansion. He should be very favored by the Night King. Also, he just smiled at that dirty boy, a little He doesn’t seem to dislike him, and he has a good heart. Otherwise, let’s beg him and let him take us to see the Night King.”

Listening to what his companion said, Li Da stared at Xiji's back full of entanglements.They have been here for several days since they decided to come to the Night King that day, but they have no way to see the Night King at all. Once they get close, they will be expelled by refugees as beggars, and even the villagers who came with them were injured. He died several times and is still bedridden.

Everyone who followed wanted to go back, but he was unwilling and insisted on staying, leaving only a few brothers who trusted him.The few of them have been guarding outside the hotel, just want to see the nobleman inside, and ask for a favor.Regardless of the outcome, even if they were beaten to death in the end, they would accept their fate.

With such a desperate mood, they waited for this little brother who was out of the mansion, and seeing the huddling posture around him, they must have a certain status in the mansion.Thinking that brothers like this are generally more soft-hearted, Li Da gritted his teeth and followed with his brothers.

At this time, when I heard the proposal from my brother beside me, I became ruthless, turned my head and said to them: "We will go and beg that young master later, the success or failure depends on this time, if it does not work, we can only Wait to die."

When the others heard what he said, they all nodded solemnly. Of course they knew what it meant to come here. If it didn't work out, they wouldn't be able to live here, nor could their wives and children at home.With such a determination to die, they still came, fighting from the very beginning.

After visiting the entire market, Xiji took a quick look at the things here, and bought back when he encountered something he was interested in.As for the price, the cook around him helped to negotiate the price, Xiji was responsible for paying, and the guards around him helped carry things.

"Master, this is really delicious." Mo Shu ate the sweet candy figurine in his mouth, and his voice was a little excited.

Xiji also bought a bite himself. He didn't particularly like this kind of over-sweetened food. He even felt that it was a little too sweet.

Seeing the Mo Shu next to him eating happily, after thinking about it, he handed him the unfinished skewer, and said to him, "This skewer is also for you."

Mo Shu opened his eyes wide in an instant, thanked Xiji excitedly, and happily took the sugar figurine over, "Thank you, young master, you are the best for me, young master."

Looking at a child's ink book, Xiji laughed, and was willing to pamper him a little more. Just when they were talking and laughing and preparing to go back, five ragged men suddenly rushed out in front of them.

The guards standing aside reacted extremely quickly, and immediately protected Xiji behind him, drew out his saber, and looked at the people with an unfriendly expression, in case they suddenly launched a surprise attack.

It's just that people didn't expect that the group of people ran close and didn't run any further. Instead, they knelt down, kowtowed, and shouted loudly: "Master, please, help us!" .”

Xiji was startled by the people rushing out, and then watched them kneel on the ground and kowtow desperately, as if they were trying to smash their own heads, and the blood was all over their heads soon.Seeing their battle, Xiji was even more frightened and froze there, not quite understanding what happened.

"Go away, you untouchables, don't get in the way, or don't blame us for being rude." Seeing their appearance, the leading squad leader didn't have any sympathy, but his face was full of disgust, and he took out his saber and wanted to drive them away.

Those people seemed to be unaware of the danger in front of them, they still knelt there, shouting that sentence, their faces were covered with blood.

Just when the guards were about to expel them, Xiji finally reacted and shouted at them: "Stop."

His sound was very effective, whether it was the people kneeling on the ground or the guards who were about to strike, they all stopped in unison.

Looking at the few people looking at him with blood on their faces, Xiji still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but he still walked forward step by step, and asked them: "You said you want me to save you, can I save you?" do what?"

Li Da was overjoyed when he saw this, stopped his movements, did not get up, took a few steps on his knees, came to Xiji, and said respectfully to him: "We want to ask you to reduce the tax in our village. If we continue to collect such heavy taxes, people in our village will not be able to survive."

Xiji frowned, looked at the man's expectant expression, pursed his lips, and said nothing.

The man was very apprehensive, and finally stopped the people and let him listen to them, but he couldn't miss the opportunity just because of his stupid mouth.First he kowtowed a few more times on the ground, and under Xiji's shocked gaze, he continued:

"We are farmers here, and we have been farming here for generations. Other places only charge [-]% of the land tax, but we only charge [-]% here. This year's drought, the harvest in the field is not good, if such a high tax is charged again, We won't be able to survive. I hope the son will take pity on us, and ask the Night King to lower our taxes."

Hearing what he said, Xiji's complexion was also a bit ugly. Looking at the skinny appearance of those men, even those beggars in the previous life could not compare, thinking about life in the future is really bad.

Xiji stood there without speaking, and everyone was there waiting for him to make a decision.

"Master, it's time for us to go back." Mo Shu licked the remaining sugar figure in his mouth, and tugged on the sleeve of Xiji who was standing there hesitantly, his face full of desire to go back.

Xiji glanced at the lack of any so-called ink books, then looked at the people kneeling on the ground, struggled for a while, and said: "I'm just the cook of the palace, and I can't influence the king's decision."

As soon as his words came out, everyone around was startled, even Mo Shu looked at his young master a little strangely, and the faces of the group of people were even more desperate.

After thinking for a while, Xiji took out a small piece of broken silver from his bag, and motioned for the ink book to them.

Mo Shu was unwilling, but he couldn't disobey his young master's order, so he reluctantly handed the silver to the most ruthless man who took the lead in kowtowing, and then returned to Xiji's side angrily.

The man looked at the silver, wanted to return it to Xiji, and said earnestly, "Master, we are not here to beg, but to seek a way to survive."

Xiji looked at him, shook his head, and said in a flat tone: "This money is for your wounds. As for the tax you mentioned, I will discuss it with Wang. If, if Wang still doesn't want to change his decision, I have no choice. With the remaining money, you can buy more food."

Li Da looked at him and saw his calm face, what he said was from the heart, and he didn't intend to deceive them.He didn't continue to hand out the money in his hand, but kowtowed to Xiji again, sincerely thanking, "Thank you, son."
