Just when the Dark Dragon Guards were completely baffled
Qin Luo held a small torch in one hand and waved to them with the other.
"Hi! Hello! What are you doing here? Why are you staring at my great-grandfather and the others?"
Dark Dragon Guard members...
The second brother looked at the leader in terror.
"Boss, have our martial arts skills deteriorated? We didn't even notice a kid touching us from behind?"
Twelve paced anxiously in circles.
"It's over, it's over! We haven't found the young marquis, and his martial arts have even deteriorated. He'll definitely be sent back to the Dark Guard Camp when we get back!"
The Dark Dragon Guard leader's brain throbbed.
"Twelve, shut up!"
Twelve immediately stood up straight and covered her mouth.
Qin Luo immediately realized he wasn't a bad person; he was just as naive as Mu Xiao.
So he asked the leader of the Dark Dragon Guard.
"Are you looking for Mu Xiuyu, or for my great-grandfather, but for Mu Xiao?"
Upon hearing Mu Xiuyu's name, the leader of the Dark Dragon Guard also spoke excitedly.
"Young lady, do you know Mu Xiuyu? How is he? I was sent by his family to find him!"
Qin Luo glanced at him.
"Evidence? How can I believe you without evidence? What if you're the bad guys?"
He took out a waist tag and handed it to her.
"This is my waist tag; it bears the royal seal!"
Qin Luo shone her small torch on the flame and looked up at the leader of the Dark Dragon Guard.
"I don't understand!"
Dark Dragon Guard leader…
Twelve lowered her hand from her mouth
"That shouldn't be the case! You should be ten years old by now, right? How come you don't recognize these characters?"
Qin Luo…
I'm so annoyed! I really don't know whether I should tell him I'm already thirteen.
Seeing Qin Luo about to get angry, the leader of the Dark Dragon Guard quickly introduced himself.
"We are the Imperial Guards, specializing in protecting the Emperor. This time, when the young marquis was attacked, the Emperor not only sent the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review to investigate the case, but also ordered us to follow the trail to find the young marquis!"
"Do you know Mu Feng? Why are you hiding here instead of just asking him directly?"
Dark Dragon Guard leader…
Twelve clapped his hands: "Yeah! Boss, why don't we just go ask him directly? I'm close to Mu Xiao!"
"ah!"
Twelve got hit again, but this time it was Eighth Brother who hit him, and then dragged him away.
The Dark Dragon Guard leader gave an awkward explanation.
"When we came in, we saw someone who looked like Mu Xiao, but he didn't have any children with him, so we weren't sure. We were about to observe him for a while longer when we were ambushed!"
Thirteen immediately replied
"Yes, the one who ambushed us was a ghost, and it had no head!"
The fourth brother nodded in agreement.
"That ghost has a flaming vine that flashes with a blue-white light!"
Dark Dragon Guard Leader: Numb
Qin Luo thought to herself: How could she not have a head? How could such a big head just disappear like that?
Then I heard Wu Hua's mocking laughter.
"Hahaha, you're wearing a tan outfit and a black hood, no one can see your head at night, hahahahaha~"
Qin Luo was speechless: The case is solved, but it's all my fault!
He looked at the Dark Dragon Guard leader, who was just as speechless as he was.
"Wait, I'll go and call Mu Xiao over!"
"Thank you for your trouble, young lady!"
Before long, Qin Luo brought Mu Xiao to the leader.
The two exchanged waist tokens, and suddenly Twelve jumped out and hugged Mu Xiao.
"Xiaoxiao, it really is you! I didn't even dare to recognize you!"
Mu Xiao was also very happy to see Twelve.
"Twelve! You've grown so much! It's been years since we last saw each other, hasn't it? This time, your human skin mask isn't as cute as the last one!"
"Right! I've grown quite a bit taller! This mask was picked out by Lao Liu, and I also think it's not cute enough, hahaha! Xiao Xiao, the last time we met was when the little marquis was just born, and you went to the capital to announce the good news! I've missed you so much, it's been years!"
Hearing this conversation, the Dark Dragon Guard members collectively dug their feet in embarrassment.
Just as the leader was about to hit someone, Lao Ba appeared in time and covered Twelve's mouth.
They dragged him away, and after struggling in vain, Twelve gave up resisting.
Mu Xiao smiled sheepishly.
"Boss, sorry, it's been so long..."
The leader rolled his eyes.
"You two have never met. The Twelve you saw was just a different human skin mask!"
Mu Xiao paused upon hearing this.
The leader then got straight to the point.
"Where is the young marquis now? Is he safe? And what about the other eleven of you? Why are you the only one who has appeared?"
Mu Xiao sighed
"This is a long story. Let's go find the young marquis first. On the way, I'll tell you what happened. There's also someone who wants to tell you about the great injustice suffered by the magistrate of Shipo County!"
Qin Luo's opinion of Mu Xiao changed at this moment.
She didn't expect Mu Xiao to bring up the matter of the magistrate of Shipo County!
She thought he would only concern himself with matters related to Mu Xiuyu.
Qin Luo led the group to the entrance of the Sun family's courtyard and knocked on the door.
Liu Zheng opened the door. As soon as she saw Qin Luo, she pulled her over and checked her over.
"Luo Luo, are you alright? Has anything happened to your uncle?"
Qin Luo replied to Liu Zheng that everything was fine, and then let Mu Xiao and the Dark Dragon Guards in.
Liu Zheng was startled when she saw the Dark Dragon Guards.
"Luo Luo, Brother Mu Xiao, who are these people?"
Mu Xiao clasped his hands in greeting to Liu Zheng.
"Sister-in-law, don't be afraid. This is someone sent by the Emperor to find our young marquis!"
Liu Zheng was relieved to hear this.
The group knelt down and bowed before Mu Xiuyu.
"Young Marquis, please forgive me. I am late and have caused you to suffer!"
Mu Xiuyu held Qin Luo's hand, seemingly reluctant to part.
