Chapter 711: Don't Mind Acting on Behalf of Heaven
Lu Xingwan was not in a hurry. He just stroked her shoulders again and again until he felt her body gradually warming up and the shivering in her body slowly disappeared.
The woman finally came to her senses and suddenly knelt down on the spot, kowtowed to Lu Xingwan in front of her again and again.
I don’t know why, she is obviously a little child, but she makes people trust her and want to rely on her.
"Benefactor, benefactor, please save my child."
"My benefactor, please go and save my child. If it's too late, my child will probably be killed by them..."
Lu Xingwan hurriedly helped her up: "Don't be anxious, talk slowly."
As if she was worried that she didn't trust her because she was younger than her, she turned her head to look at Ji Rong and Shang Zhi beside her.
"The one who saved you just now is my senior brother. My senior brother's kung fu is very strong. I think with them here, they will definitely be able to help you rescue your child."
"Just don't be anxious. Speak slowly."
"It's my fault, it's my fault." The woman trembled as she said this.
"Recently, there have been rumors in the capital that children are getting lost. My husband even told me to go out as little as possible."
"But I feel that this is in the capital, under the emperor's rule, how could such a terrible thing happen?"
"But the day before yesterday, it was a rainy day, and on that day, my child disappeared."
"He was taken away by those people just now."
"I wanted to chase them, chase them, and rob them, but they were a bunch of grown men. How could a woman like me rob them? They even injured me and captured me."
"Fortunately, I had learned some Kung Fu from my father, so I escaped when they were least prepared."
The woman was still talking about her things, but Lu Xingwan could no longer hear her at all. The woman's words were buzzing in her ears.
The clothes those people were wearing were clearly those of palace guards or imperial guards.
After all, they are the emperor's people, how could they snatch the children of common people?
If there was only one person, it would be a coincidence, but such a group of people came out in large numbers to chase this woman.
I'm afraid this matter is closely related to the Emperor Li Cheng of the Dali Kingdom.
Lu Xingwan's brows became more and more furrowed. At this time, the woman finished speaking and began to kowtow to Lu Xingwan in front of her.
Lu Xingwan finally came to his senses, and Shang Zhi had already stepped forward to help the woman up.
There was a gleam of sternness in his eyes: "I never thought that such a shameless thing could happen in the capital of a country."
Ji Rong also spoke at this time: "Don't worry, we will investigate this matter thoroughly and bring these people to justice."
They will not let go even if it is the emperor of the Dali Kingdom.
People who practice Taoism are meant to punish evil and promote good. Such a person is not worthy of being an emperor.
They didn't mind enforcing justice and dealing with the emperor.
Anyway, I never liked him before.
At this time, Lu Xingwan also raised her head and looked at the woman who had stood up in front of her: "Sister, do you want to go back to your home first? Or do you want to settle down with us?"
"With you!" The woman spoke in a firm tone before Lu Xingwan finished speaking.
Lu Xingwan nodded without saying much, but it was not convenient to walk on the street with the woman, so they could only shuttle through the alleys and soon arrived at the inn where Pei Chuyan and his friends lived.
Looking at the strict guard outside the inn, Lu Xingwan raised an eyebrow, knowing that they certainly couldn't walk in so brazenly.
She turned her head and nodded to Ji Rong and Shang Zhi who were standing not far behind her, then turned and walked to the side of the inn.
Ji Rong and Shang Zhi naturally knew what she meant. Although they helped the woman, they would not let her discover their identities.
When he reached a place where the woman could no longer see him, Lu Xingwan leaped into the inn.
At this time, Pei Chuyan was planning his next move in his room.
Tomorrow is the so-called day of sacrifice.
Li Cheng has already started preparations, so we must also make arrangements in advance to ensure that we can strike back at the right time and expose Li Cheng's ugly behavior to the world.
Just as he was getting ready, he heard a sudden movement outside his window. He raised his head and looked over there warily, but the next moment, a small figure flew into his room.
Pei Chuyan was about to draw his sword to deal with the newcomer, but he felt that the little girl in front of him was somewhat familiar.
"Wan Wan?" Pei Chuyan blurted out, then realized that he seemed a little disrespectful, and quickly changed his words, "Your Highness the Princess."
It has to be said that there are still some differences between immortal cultivators and mortals.
This immortal cultivator could tell at a glance that Wanwan had changed from the appearance of two or three years old to the appearance of five or six years old.
But in Pei Chuyan's eyes, he did not notice any big changes.
It seems like this every night before.
After confirming that the person in front of him was the princess, Pei Chuyan hurried forward and supported her with a look of surprise, and then asked carefully: "Why is the princess here? Didn't the princess go to Yong'an County?"
Lu Xingwan shook his head: "I have been away for a while and wanted to come to Dali to find someone. I didn't expect you to be here."
As for other things, Lu Xingwan didn't say much.
Although Pei Chuyan was surprised, he suppressed his feelings. After all, he knew that Princess Wanwan was different from others.
It seemed normal for her to find herself.
Lu Xingwan then noticed that there was a thick stack of portraits on Pei Chuyan's desk. Those portraits were clearly of children. She suddenly thought that maybe Pei Chuyan was also investigating the incident that she had just encountered.
She pulled her arm out of Pei Chuyan's hand, then walked forward and began to flip through the portraits.
Finally, he turned his head and looked at Pei Chuyan in front of him, asking, "Are you investigating the recent missing baby incident in Wanlong City?"
He didn't expect the princess to be so powerful that she even knew such a secret matter. However, in response to the princess's question, Pei Chuyan nodded and answered softly.
"The princess is very clever, indeed."
"Then this matter will be much easier." Lu Xingwan sat down and began to tell Pei Chuyan in detail what he had just encountered on the street. "The clothes of those people are clearly the imperial guards. This matter is probably related to Li Cheng."
"That's what the princess said. I have investigated this matter carefully recently. A so-called sorcerer came to Li Cheng's harem. He seemed to say that there was some ancient secret method that could use children for sacrifice so that Li Cheng could have his own fertility."
