"Really? Actually, I just want to know if they have caught a man from Western Qin recently. This man is very important to me."
"Okay, I can ask them when I have a chance, or when they occasionally drink secretly."
"Okay, thank you."
With Cui'er's help, Wang Yiyao's mood has improved a lot. At least she is not as desperate as before. As long as she doesn't give up, she can turn around at any time.
For several days in a row, Cui'er helped Wang Yiyao leave a mark. With Wang Yiyao's encouragement, this little girl became bolder and became very brave.
In the afternoon of that day, when Wang Yiyao was in the carriage preparing to relax for a while, Cui'er came in.
"Sister, the person in charge is not here today. He seems to have gone to town for dinner. There are a few guards secretly drinking. Let me go and ask for you."
"Okay, Tweety, are you okay?"
"Sister, don't worry, I can sew some purses myself and give them to them."
"Okay, go ahead, I'm waiting for your good news."
Cui'er took the purse in her hand and came to the side of several guards, with a smile on her face.
When several guards saw her, their eyes lit up. After all, they rarely saw women, and it was rare to have one in front of them.
"Brothers, where are you drinking? Come and let me fill it up for you."
After Cui'er poured wine for them, she took out the purse she had embroidered.
"I gave these purses to my elder brothers. I am young, and I hope that my elder brothers will take more care of me in the future."
"Don't worry, with us here, no one dares to bully you."
The guards drank a lot and gradually started talking more, so Cui Er also talked to them a few more words.
"Brothers, have you always been doing this? Have you ever arrested anyone from Xi Qin? I heard that the men there are very handsome."
"Xiqin? Is there really no such thing? There are a few people around here who have been caught doing coolies."
After asking for the information she wanted to know, Cui'er was thinking of finding an excuse to leave.
"Brothers, little sister, I have to go back, otherwise what will happen if the person in the car runs away? You should also be careful."
"Okay, go back quickly, we'll finish drinking soon."
"Sister, I'm back."
"How? Do they know?"
Cui'er shook her head, "They don't know? It doesn't look like they are lying."
"Okay, let's ask slowly. It won't be easy to find out."
"Well, sister, you should get some sleep. The weather is pretty good today."
Wang Yiyao fell asleep in a daze on the carriage. When she woke up, the carriage had already traveled a long way.
"Tweety"
"Sister, are you awake?"
"Well, I also want to ask you a question. Do the people in Xining have any hobbies? Or are there any customs and habits here?"
Cui'er thought for a while, and probably their biggest hobby is raising Gu. This is their biggest hobby.
"If it's a hobby, it would be raising voodoos. Everyone here likes to do this."
"Raising Gu?" Wang Yiyao really didn't know much about how to raise this thing.
"Sister, this Gu is actually a poisonous insect. People here use this to control the people they want to control."
"Oh, I see."
Wang Yiyao had heard of this a long time ago and had seen it in TV dramas, but she didn't know that in this ancient time, many years away from modern times, there were people who actually raised poison to harm people.
"Yes, because they are proficient in the art of cultivating gu, the people here are very domineering and arrogant."
Think about it, people can control anyone they want to control, but of course they have to be domineering and arrogant.
"There is one more thing. Go and ask me where we are going this time and see if they are willing to reveal it."
"Okay, sister, wait for me."
Cui'er came, next to the elder brother who delivered the purse yesterday, "Brother, do you still remember me? I am the sister who delivered the purse to you yesterday."
"Remember, of course I remember, what happened?"
"I just want to ask, where are we going this time? I'm always worried about whether we will be sold to someone else again."
This elder brother had a good heart. Seeing how worried and scared Tweety was, he secretly told her the truth.
"Sister, my brother is telling you not to tell others."
"Well, brother, don't worry, I won't tell you."
"We are very likely to go to the palace this time. I accidentally overheard what the messenger said last night. You and I don't know. Anyway, the woman in the carriage is going to be taken to the palace."
God, Cui Er opened her mouth wide after hearing this.
"Brother, thank you. If you need any repairs in the future, you can ask me for help. I'll go back first."
Cui'er quietly came to the car and leaned into Wang Yiyao's ear, "Sister, you may have to be sent to the palace."
"What? Emperor..."
"Shhh"
Cui'er immediately covered Wang Yiyao's mouth, "Sister, keep your voice down."
"Yes, I just heard what the big brother said, and I might not go in with you."
Wang Yiyao fell into despair again. After going round and round, she was about to be sent to the palace in Xining. Could it be that the emperor of Xining was behind this?
First, he found someone to frame Feng Minyi, and then he murdered Wang's family in Yunnan. What was his purpose behind it?
"Is it to seek hegemony and occupy Western Qin?"
The more Wang Yiyao thought about it, the more frightened she became. Xining, a small country, was really ambitious.
"Sister, are you okay?"
"I'm fine. My sister is thinking about something. You should go to sleep for a while."
After all, Cui'er was young and had few things to think about, so she quickly fell asleep.
Wang Yiyao couldn't sleep since she knew she was going to be sent to the Xining Palace. She didn't know what kind of challenges she would face.
In this way, a groggy night passed. When she woke up, it was already dawn. Wang Yiyao got off the carriage and was invited into a house.
Through the layout and furnishings of this room, as well as the dressing of the maids around him, Wang Yiyao has determined that this is the palace of Xining.
Cui'er didn't come in with her, but she didn't know where she went.
After being together for more than ten days, Wang Yiyao was still very reluctant to part with her.
Just when Wang Yiyao wanted to ask the people around her, she heard Cui'er's voice.
"Sister, I'm here. I said a lot of good things to them, and they let me come in to serve you."
"My good sister, I thought I would never see you again?"
The two hugged each other tightly, and Tian Cui'er regarded Wang Yiyao as her sister for so many years.
