Chapter 127: Words of Advice, Falling into a Trap
"But you are wrong about one thing. I have nothing to ask of you."
Shang Yuwan came back to his senses and asked, "Oh?"
Cui Xing spread her hands and said, "That's your Dayu's child, what does it have to do with me?"
She just talks too much, isn't that okay?
As soon as the voice fell, Shang Yuwan took over: "Then I wonder if Miss Cui can help me with what I want?"
It turned out that he was waiting for her here.
"Please speak, young lady." Cui Xing smiled.
"Yin'er and her family are our saviors. If it weren't for them, we wouldn't have waited for you to come here with your men."
Shang Yuwan and Xiao Qingxu bowed deeply to her and said, "Please, Miss Cui, help their family overcome this difficult time!"
I was quite far away before, so I couldn't hear clearly what Miaogu said in the car, but judging from the looks of those two people, they would definitely not let Yin'er's family have an easy time, and they might even destroy the family.
Shang Yuwan has received favors from the three of them, and now he will not back down even if given the opportunity to do so.
Cui Xing looked at her silently, then suddenly turned to Xiao Qingxu.
"——I remember now, you are King Qi."
Cui Xing frowned slightly. "The left eye is blind, and the face is disfigured. Is that you, His Highness Prince Qi?"
She had previously been in Langjiang, doing the dirty work of secretly eliminating corrupt officials and treacherous ministers, and was unfamiliar with many people and events in Dayu. Since Xiao Qingxu's disfigurement, he had remained low-key and silent in Kyoto. Cui Xing had focused her attention on Langjiang for years, so it was understandable that she didn't recognize him at first.
Xiao Qingxu did not deny it: "It's me."
No wonder he called himself "This King" at that time.
"You two are begging me, a native of Langjiang, for help. Aren't you afraid that I will tell others about this?"
Once this matter gets out, it will not be as simple as just a slap in the face of the Xiao royal family.
The son of the Great Yu Emperor, the venerable Prince Qi, had bowed before the people of Langjiang for the sake of a commoner. A story that would make even a three-year-old child laugh out loud. Xiao Qingxu would surely face severe punishment upon his return to the capital, having brought shame upon the Great Yu.
When Cui Xing said this, Xiao Qingxu's waist bent even more.
"They saved my life, so I have no choice but to protect them."
Cui Xing ignored him and went forward to help Shang Yuwan up.
"For the sake of the girl, I can help you with this."
Shang Yuwan and Xiao Qingxu were about to express their gratitude when Cui Xing said, "However, I also have a condition."
She looked at Xiao Qingxu and said, "Your Highness, please straighten your back. Don't hurt yourself, or you'll use this as an excuse to cause trouble in Langjiang. Miss, let's talk for a moment."
Shang Yuwan was pulled aside by her to chat, and Xiao Qingxu was blocked by two Langjiang people, so his lip movements could not be seen.
"Miss Cui, speak frankly. I will do whatever I can."
"Don't worry, girl. It's not a difficult thing."
Cui Xing patted Shang Yuwan's hand and reassured her, "Our general's sister is with you, young lady. I heard that the second young lady listens to you very much."
Shang Yuwan's expression suddenly changed. "What are you going to do? If you want to return her to you, I will never agree! If you really want her, you should ask her if she is willing."
Cui Xing shook her head. "The general has already released the people. How dare we threaten the Second Young Lady?"
"...So who are you?"
Cui Xing's words were rarely cautious. "Miss, can you persuade the Second Miss to buy some skin-repairing medicine and send it to the General's Mansion?"
When Twelve was brought back to the General's Mansion, Cui Xing did not see her happiness, but instead felt even more lonely than before. Later, when Shang Yuwan was seriously injured by the General, Twelve threatened to kill him, and after waking up, she never looked the General in the eye once.
What good medicine does Langjiang have? Cui Xing just hopes that Twelve can show a little concern and affection for their General Zhao.
After all, they are blood-related sisters.
"......" Shang Yuwan was silent for a moment, then spoke, "Okay."
"I promise you, when I go back and see her, I'll find a chance to talk to her."
Cui Xing's eyes lit up slightly, and Shang Yuwan quickly added, "But if she refuses, I won't persuade her anymore."
Zhao Qinglian had found Twelve not long after she went missing, but she hadn't taken her home. Although Twelve had a high fever and her memory was damaged, she still recognized Zhao Qinglian. She waited for ages in an unfamiliar place, but no one came to take her home. In her eyes, this was tantamount to abandonment, and naturally, she wouldn't want to interact with Zhao Qinglian.
"It's okay, as long as the girl conveys her message." Cui Xing nodded repeatedly.
"So what do we do now?"
Shang Yuwan was not familiar with this place and had never met Miao Gu, so he still had to ask Cui Xing's opinion first.
"Does the girl have any token of love?"
Shang Yuwan thought for a moment, "The medicine box, and the package of silver needles in the medicine box."
Cui Xing turned around and ordered the woman carrying the medicine box to find the people from Baijialou.
"Give the things to the people you see and ask them to come to Caixia Town to look for me."
"yes."
The Langjiang people left with the medicine box.
Shang Yuwan asked: "Do you know what they look like?"
Cui Xing smiled and said, "Ever since you showed up in Yanmen, we have checked your information."
After all, it is related to Yanmen, and that place hides many secrets about His Majesty and Princess Dayu.
Zhao Qinglian was most concerned about the affairs of the empress. In addition, since a person named "Shang Yuwan" appeared in Baijialou, she had to investigate - because since the Shang family was wiped out, Twelve's trace had disappeared.
Baijialou is an underworld organization after all. As long as you are willing to investigate, the identities of most people can be found out. However, Xiao Qingxu and Shang Yuwan protected the twelfth monk Mingqi very well, and there was no news that they were in Baijialou at that time.
"No one has found out your background except you and the Second Miss." She looked at Xiao Qingxu, "and this person."
He always wears a mask and never reveals his true face. Who would have thought that the owner of Baijialou is His Royal Highness Prince Qi, the most silent and reticent member of the Xiao royal family?
All I can say is that he is worthy of being the son of Emperor Chengming. If he doesn't make a name for himself, he will make a big splash when he does.
Xiao Qingxu pulled the corner of his mouth and smiled lightly, "Miss, you are too kind."
Cui Xing responded politely: "Your Highness is incredibly talented, there is no need to be so humble."
She actually hoped that Dayu would have one less smart person sitting in a high position.
Shang Yuwan asked: "Those two people from before?"
Cui Xing thought of those two people and sighed, "Maybe they were poisoned."
"Miao Gu's poison skills are superior to mine. Maybe she uses some special poison to control people."
Xiao Qingxu lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, then asked, "Do you have a map of Caixia Town?"
Now they have Cui Xing's help and manpower, and perhaps they can also use the layout of Caixia Town to increase their chances of winning.
"No, but we all remember the way. Your Highness wants to..."
"No."
Shang Yuwan suddenly interrupted Cui Xing.
"Let's not look at the map of Caixia Town for now. It's too troublesome and too long-winded."
Seeing that she had an idea, Xiao Qingxu asked, "Do you have a better idea?"
Shang Yuwan nodded and looked at Cui Xing, "How fast was that person just now?"
"If the people from Baijialou chase us to a place not far from here, we should be able to meet them at noon tomorrow at the earliest." Cui Xing pondered for a moment and gave this answer.
Then, she added, "The Baijialou people seem very anxious. I heard they sent all their people out to look for you. She has a first aid kit with her, so she might be able to meet up with the Baijialou people even sooner."
Xiao Qingxu sensed something was wrong and grabbed Shang Yuwan's hand.
"What do you want?"
Shang Yuwan held Xiao Qingxu's hand and looked at him sideways: "Do you believe me?"
Xiao Qingxu was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "I believe it."
Cui Xing waved her hand: "What are you two doing?"
Now is not the time to talk about love.
"Miss Cui."
"Um?"
Shang Yuwan's eyes were so bright that it was a little scary.
"Let's go walk into the trap."
