"Is the person kept in here?"
Today, Da Ni'er was traveling with the Lan family's secret guards. The dark-skinned girl didn't need to wear a black cloth; her skin tone blended perfectly with the darkness.
"Yes, right here, Miss Wang..."
Lan Yi always called her Miss Da Ni'er, mainly because he couldn't bring himself to call her the Grassland King. He originally intended for Da Ni'er to wait on the roof beam, but she ended up tumbling down and landing by the window.
The guards in the courtyard had just changed shifts and didn't notice her.
"Should we just rob it?"
Da Nier craned her neck and asked Lan Yi.
"It's best to steal it; the master means it's best to do it quietly."
The dark-skinned girl had never done anything like stealing before. She nodded solemnly and said, "Okay, no problem, I'll steal it."
The window in front of us is quite large; this should be fine. Da Nier punched the window, smashed it open, then removed it and threw it on the ground. She then said to Lan Yi...
"Hurry up and steal it, the guards will be here soon."
The Lan family guards on the rooftop had complicated expressions, especially Lan Yi's underlings behind them. One of them asked...
"Is this stealing?"
"It might be on the grasslands. This is already considered stealing. After all, Miss Wang is the Queen of the Grasslands. Don't ask for too much," someone nearby chimed in.
"Is this any different from negotiating with her?"
"There's no difference, but the guards are already here."
The group leaped down from the rooftop and saw Da Ni'er already standing with them, holding two swords.
Lan Yi was even more speechless behind her. In the entire capital, how many people could use a grassland scimitar?
Your build clearly indicates you're a woman. A woman, a prairie scimitar, who else could it be?
Who else in the entire Great Yan Dynasty?
Didn't anyone train her before she came?
We're just petty thieves, secret guards, secret guards!
Actually, Huo Xiaolong originally wanted to talk to Da Nier about changing weapons.
"Don't take your two swords with you tonight."
Why?
"Wouldn't that let the whole of Great Yan know you went to rescue someone?"
"Okay, I won't take it."
After thinking for a while, Da Ni'er finally agreed.
Long'er felt that her best friend was easy to talk to, and then she heard the dark-skinned girl continue speaking.
"Then I'll take your knife."
"..."
"You should just use your own knife. So what if others find out? You're the king of the grasslands. What are they going to do to kill you? They wouldn't even dare to send you before the emperor to be questioned."
“Okay, then I’ll wear my fourth brother’s and second brother’s jade pendants too.”
"Wearing night clothes, who's going to look at your jade pendant? Stop showing off, okay? Or I'll tell your mother!"
Upon hearing this, Da Ni'er stood up from her stool, glaring at Huo Xiaolong with resentment, and said...
"You tattletale! You've been selling me out since we were kids!"
"You're still selling me!"
Da Ni'er wielded her twin swords with great gusto, and in the end, she was the one chasing after the guards, hacking at them until Lan Yi spoke up.
"I'm going back."
"They're here, they're here."
This trip wasn't a complete waste, hehe.
Da Ni'er was secretly delighted. Not only did Lan Tingche give her a thousand taels, but she had also just been looking for two hundred taels of silver notes in the room, which she had put in her own pocket.
Everyone waited in the palace, when they heard a soft sound from inside the courtyard. The little girl then went out, ringing her medical bell.
Is anyone injured?
"have."
"Da Nier spoke up."
"I managed to snatch this back, but I accidentally got stabbed."
Under Lan Tingche's brainwashing, the Lan family's secret guards all began to prioritize their own safety. Their master had said that as long as the person returned, everything else was a minor matter.
So they carried the person on their backs while running, hoping it would protect them from knives and such.
"Let me see!"
Hou Xiangxiang pushed through the crowd, glanced around, tossed a porcelain bottle from her pocket, and then said...
"Just apply some medicine and it will be fine."
Cen Ang walked out accompanied by Lan Tingche and his daughter. The man beside him said...
"Auntie, I'm sorry to trouble you again tonight."
"No trouble at all, don't worry."
Aunt Cen dragged the person into the dark room. As soon as the mechanism was activated, the fragrance of flowers filled the air.
Very well, let's just pretend this darkroom mechanism hasn't been changed.
"Huo Xiaolong, can I take a shower at your house?" Da Nier looked at her clothes. Although they were night clothes, they were still stained with blood, and the smell was hard to hide.
"You're covered in blood again, are you afraid of getting a beating when you get home?" Long'er asked, raising an eyebrow.
"OK."
"Then let's go inside."
Lan Tingche waited for news outside Cen Ang's room.
Several young women were taking a bath in the public bathhouse set up in the Prince's Mansion.
Huo Xiaolong's lean and strong arms were draped over the edge of the bathtub, and he would occasionally pluck a grape to eat. Da Ni'er's dark and robust skin looked impressive. The only one who was a bit thin was Hou Xiangxiang.
But only when compared to the other two, the biceps that are faintly visible look like those used for manual labor.
Little Sister: Does pounding medicine count too?
"Hadie and Xiaoshizi came over just now, did you know?" Huo Xiaolong said to Dani'er.
"Isn't Feng Shitai the only one in the capital?"
After the battle, Feng Shitai also returned to the capital with Da Nier, mainly to see how much safflower was worth here so he could sell it later.
"Yes, the two kids have come to see their dad."
"Where do they live?"
"..."
"Sister, you're the king of the grasslands, aren't you going to arrange accommodations for your subordinates?" Hou Xiangxiang spat out a grape skin, looking exhausted as she said this.
"Oh, then stay at my place."
Huo Xiaolong pinched the bridge of his nose, then said
"Your house is only so big, it's not enough room for everyone."
"Should I find them an inn?"
"Forget it, I've already arranged everything."
"Then where do they live?" Dani asked back.
“Your house is next to the Prince’s Mansion, so you can use all the courtyards on my side of the Prince’s Mansion. They are all your guest rooms.”
The Prince of Zhenbei's mansion is large, but there are few servants, and the courtyards are truly too many to accommodate everyone.
Da Ni'er chuckled, then lowered her head and said...
"Wouldn't that be too much trouble for our Prince?"
Huo Xiaolong was so disgusted that he stood up abruptly, revealing his slender waist and long legs wrapped in a bathrobe to his girlfriends.
Hou Xiangxiang and Dani'er didn't try to hide it; they'd been watching each other since they were little, so they just kept looking.
"That's disgusting, Da Ni'er."
"Thank you for calling me disgusting?"
"Can you speak properly? Don't imitate Sister Ruyi; you don't sound good."
"I am the King of the Grasslands! My singing is heavenly. I sing during sacrificial ceremonies on the grasslands."
Hou Xiangxiang lay by the bathtub, watching her girlfriends bicker, and then slowly uttered a sentence.
"On the grasslands, whoever is the leader sings the sacrificial songs, and they wouldn't dare stop you from singing."
