Chapter 545 Heartbeat (4)
Xie Changwu forced a smile and said, “The Shen family guards are all highly skilled in martial arts. How can they sell Miss Shen Wu to…that place?”
“That’s your business.” Princess Ming’an returned to her condescending demeanor. “Since I say you have courage and insight, how you abduct Shen Miao will depend on your ability. Otherwise, if I have to consider everything for you, what use will I have to you?”
Seeing that Xie Changwu and Xie Changchao were still hesitating, Princess Ming'an softened her tone and said gently, "However, if this is accomplished, I will also speak well of you to Prince Ding, so that he can at least find you two a good job, so you don't have to be stuck in such a stalemate like you are now. Such a good deal, why don't you agree?"
Xie Changwu and Xie Changchao looked at each other, and saw the conflict in each other's eyes.
Fortune and honor are sought through risk. For those like them, who have always been on the right track to officialdom but have been unable to enter, their greatest desire is nothing more than to one day rise to prominence. Princess Ming'an has now provided them with a shortcut, seemingly only requiring a short period of time to bring them one step closer to their longed-for goal.
But kidnapping Shen Miao was no easy task. Even though the two of them had some of their own people, the Shen family was originally a military household, and their guards were extraordinary. I'm afraid any guard around Shen Miao would be highly skilled in martial arts. Moreover, if Shen Miao disappeared, Shen Xin would definitely blockade Dingjing and impose martial law. Hiding Shen Miao and transporting her to a brothel would still be a hassle.
If they succeed, they will be blessed with wealth and glory; if they fail, everything is an illusion. The two of them cannot decide between gains and losses.
Seeing this, Princess Ming'an sneered, "Since you two are hesitant, then pretend I never mentioned this. You only have one chance, and I won't give you a second. Go down. You two are not the only courageous people in Mingqi. I believe there will always be someone willing to gamble on this wealth."
"I am willing!" Without waiting for Princess Ming'an to order the servants, Xie Changchao was the first to shout. He pulled Xie Changwu. Xie Changwu saw that Xie Changchao had already said it, and there was no reason for him to say no. He could only bow and say, "I am willing to go through fire and water for Her Highness, Princess. I will do anything for you!"
That's what I mean by making this deal.
Princess Ming'an smiled and said, "Get up. Since you have worked so hard for me, I will not treat you unfairly. I will wait for your good news in the mansion. After that... just wait for good news." She said with a smile.
After leaving Princess Ming'an's residence and returning to the Lin'an Marquis' residence, the Xie brothers locked the door and discussed the matter. Xie Changwu complained, "Third brother, you are too impatient. You just agreed in front of the princess. This matter is extremely difficult. If you are not careful, there will be mistakes."
Xie Changchao disagreed with him and said, "Second brother, the princess also said that if we don't do it, she will find someone else to do it. What you and I lack now is not the ability, but the opportunity. If we succeed, we will naturally rise to the top. Isn't this the result you and I both want to see?"
"But Shen Miao is not the daughter of an ordinary family," Xie Changwu sighed, "Even if we can rescue Shen Miao, what will we do next? Shen Xin is searching the entire city for her, and it won't be safe no matter where we hide her."
"Don't we still have our mansion?" Xie Changchao smiled.
Xie Changwu looked at him: "You mean..."
“No matter how much Chen Xin searches the entire city, there’s no reason he can find his colleague’s house. No matter how much outsiders suspect, they can’t suspect that it was the two of us who kidnapped Shen Miao. We have no grudges against Shen Miao, so why would we kidnap her?” Xie Changchao smiled: “Perfect!”
