016 Turn passive into active
After returning to Prince Qi's Mansion, Cheng Muqing strengthened his guard and waited for the threatening letter to arrive. However, after waiting all afternoon, he didn't even see an envelope.
Cheng Muqing was a little irritable and walked around the room, checking himself for new injuries from time to time.
Until now, she didn't have any injuries on her body. It meant that the gang of thieves didn't do anything to Lin Heng... This fact made her feel a lot more relaxed.
It was not completely dark outside the house, and Cheng Muqing leaned against the window railing, frowning slightly.
Can we just wait? Wait for the thief to make a choice?
"Sister, sister!" Cheng Muhan hurriedly ran into the door of the house and walked on the bluestone road to the main hall.
"But there is news about the prince!" Cheng Muqing greeted him.
"The Golden Eagle Guards heard that someone saw a bearded man running away with a thin young man on his back." Cheng Muhan said, "Because this combination was so strange, that person was deeply impressed."
Bearded? Cheng Muqing suddenly remembered the man holding the child in his arms that day and walking in a hurry.
That man also has a big beard...
"But I think we should be able to find the prince soon. The Golden Eagle Guard is currently searching from house to house." Cheng Muhan found a chair to sit on and poured himself tea. "Sister, come and sit down...Sister, what are you doing?"
Why are you looking at me like that?"
"There is one thing that may require your help, brother." Cheng Muqing's eyes darkened, "Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't want to."
"What's going on?" Cheng Muhan was confused.
The sun sets and night is coming.
Prince Qi's Mansion.
The little girl standing in the main hall has creamy skin and a pair of big peach blossom eyes that are slightly red. She looks quite pitiful and tender.
And this little girl is none other than Cheng Muhan, who has changed into a slave's clothes and is wearing a double bun. Maybe it's because she is still young, but at first glance, it seems that there is no distinction between male and female.
"Oh my, my brother is so beautiful in women's clothes?" Cheng Muqing nodded with satisfaction, "If you hadn't changed the clothes under my nose, I wouldn't have recognized you."
This sentence is sincere. She will definitely not recognize her brother who has changed into women's clothing.
"I want to go home and tell my mother! You dressed me up as a girl!" Cheng Muhan said angrily.
"How old are you, and are you still looking for a mother?" Cheng Muqing raised his eyebrows, "Aren't you weaned?"
Cheng Muhan choked and waited for a long time before saying, "Are you my sister? You don't speak dignifiedly at all..."
"Hey~ you found out. In fact, I am from Qiguo, and I took over the identity of your sister." Cheng Muqing smiled sadly.
Cheng Muhan: "..."
"Bai Lu, go and tell Lin Yan." Cheng Muqing explained.
Jinxi was taken away by the Golden Eagle Guards to learn about the people who were sold out of the house that day, but he has not returned yet. Now, Bai Lu is temporarily staying with Cheng Muqing.
After the explanation, Cheng Muqing took his younger brother who had married himself, walked out of the back door of Prince Qi's Mansion, and joined the crowd.
Since the prince might have been taken away by human traffickers, she used it as bait to lure the fish to the bait and went deep into the tiger's den to find out.
The two of them were dressed plainly and thinly. The younger Cheng Muhan rubbed his arms and said a little aggrievedly, "Sister, I'm cold."
"I'm cold too." Cheng Muqing replied to him.
"..." He shouldn't have expectations for this sister!
"But don't you know what our family's conditions are like?" Cheng Muqing raised his voice, "I've given all the good cloth to my brother. It'll be good if we both have clothes to wear!"
She inquired that although children were abducted from time to time in the capital, the children who were lost were all beggars, or those whose family conditions were not good and who were not taken seriously. This also resulted in very few people reporting it to the government. When the government was investigating the case,
, it’s just a formality.
Therefore, the premise of luring fish to the bait must be to make the fish feel that they are prey.
It was noon, and there were more and more pedestrians on both sides of the street, and there were many more people in the open-air tea tent.
The owner of the glutinous rice dumpling shop put a bunch of round glutinous rice balls into the iron pot. The glutinous rice balls were white and rolling, shaking up and down in the boiling water.
The air is filled with the aroma of glutinous rice, sesame and peanuts.
"Sister..." Cheng Muhan tugged on her hand and looked at her pitifully with a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes.
"Oh, keep your head down and go." Cheng Muqing grinned at the corners of his lips, his eyebrows formed into a splay, and he looked like a commoner girl living in distress.
Cheng Muhan pouted and reluctantly let her push her away. But after all, he was just a ten-year-old child. As he walked, he was still attracted by the novel gadgets on the street. But every time he wanted to get closer, Cheng Muqing
She would kindly cover his eyes and pinch his arm with a hint of warning.
Naturally, Cheng Muqing would not be gentle with his younger brother. Cheng Muhan grinned in pain and did not dare to resist.
I don't know how long it took, but just when she thought she might not gain anything today, she suddenly saw a familiar figure.
A tall man with a big beard.
In terms of body shape, he was similar to the bearded man she chased after that day.
The man seemed to feel something and suddenly turned around and looked in her direction. Cheng Muqing quickly turned around and continued walking while holding Cheng Muhan's hand.
"Sister! Look! There is a monkey juggler!" Cheng Muhan saw a juggler not far away and couldn't walk. He tugged on the hem of Cheng Muqing's clothes, "Let's go and have a look..."
Although there are many people on the juggling side, most of their attention is focused on the center. If...
Cheng Muqing pretended to sigh helplessly, and raised his voice again, "No! We still have to buy meat for our brother. If we go back late, our parents should beat us!"
"Just watch it for a while, just for a while..." Cheng Muhan really wanted to watch it.
"Okay then..." Cheng Muqing pretended that he couldn't stand his little sister's coquettish behavior.
The two of them headed that way. Because there were too many people, Cheng Muqing took his younger brother and ran to the side. After looking for a while, when there was no response from the surroundings, he ran to the side again.
Her intuition told her that the danger seemed to be getting closer and closer.
Watching the acrobatic little monkey once again pass through the ring of fire, the crowd was excited and Goldman Sachs was in full swing.
At this moment, a handkerchief covered Cheng Muqing's mouth!
The scent of medicine came from the handkerchief, which made her dizzy. Just before she lost consciousness, she sprinkled the small mung beans in her sleeves on the ground.
