Chapter 108 You'd better keep your eyes open when you sleep tonight
"Prince, please speak properly. How did I kidnap Jiujiu?" The eldest prince was completely confused and felt very wronged. "I met Jiujiu on the street. I was also confused. How did I meet Jiujiu?"
"You slander people like this?"
"Believe it or not, I will go to my father and sue you."
The eldest prince had a serious expression and spoke in a cold voice, with a hint of murderous intent caused by his frustration.
Seeing that the eldest prince was so confident and had no guilt at all, the crown prince stopped talking about the eldest prince kidnapping Jiujiu and asked, "Are you sure you are not lying? Do you dare to swear?"
The eldest prince raised three fingers and said, "I am sure I am not lying. I swear on my ancestors for eighteen generations."
Oh shit.
How dare you doubt him like this? And even make him swear?
What a shame!
The eldest prince was somewhat resentful and said silently in his heart: "Prince, you'd better sleep with your eyes open tonight."
Prince: Your ancestors for eighteen generations are my ancestors for eighteen generations. You swear on my ancestors? You are really good!
The two of them were competing with each other in their hearts.
Jiujiu, who was standing by, saw that the two had stopped arguing and had calmed down. She finally had a chance to say something and hurriedly defended the eldest prince, "Crown Prince, my eldest brother really didn't kidnap me. We just met by chance on the street."
When the eldest prince heard this, he looked at Jiujiu with praise, and then said, "Prince, did you hear that?"
"..." The prince said, "Brother, I am not deaf, I heard it."
"Why don't you apologize to me?" The eldest prince crossed his arms over his chest and raised his eyebrows, saying, "There is a price to pay for slandering others."
The prince is a gentleman, so if he is wrong, he will naturally admit it.
He said frankly and openly, "I'm sorry, big brother. I slandered you. It's my fault."
The eldest prince wanted to see the crown prince struggling with shame for slandering him, but he saw nothing. Even his apology seemed so gentlemanly.
The eldest prince let out a weak breath and said, "Forget it, forget it..." Let's not talk about it anymore.
The eldest prince asked solemnly with some concern: "Let's talk business, Prince. You just said Jiujiu was kidnapped. What happened? Who kidnapped Jiujiu?"
The prince looked at Jiujiu: "Jiujiu, who kidnapped you?"
No one knows this better than Jiujiu herself.
Jiujiu was just about to answer when a few old ladies suddenly passed by. They pointed at the inn that was on fire not far away and started complaining.
"God damn it! What important person did the innkeeper offend to deserve such a big fire? Not only the inn was burned, but also the nearby showroom, clothing store, jewelry store, and rouge shop were all burned... Only a few shops were burned on the street."
"I heard that it wasn't the innkeeper who offended anyone, but a guest inside. The offended person was a child. The child got angry and set fire to the woodshed."
"Really? This fire was actually set by a child?" An old man heard the old woman's words and said excitedly: "This child is really powerful and brave. He will fight against injustice and never give up. I think he will grow up to be a big man in the future."
The old woman said, "Old man, what you said is true, but arson is really too dangerous."
Jiujiu, the eldest prince, and the crown prince were forced to listen to the conversation between the old men.
The eldest prince was a man who had fought on the battlefield, so naturally he admired such heroic behavior.
"This kid is so courageous at such a young age. He is really amazing. If I have the chance, I must get to know him."
The prince thought the same as the old woman at the end: it was too dangerous, the child was playing with his life!
If you get burned by the fire, you may be disfigured at best and die at worst.
Moreover, after causing such a big fuss in the most prosperous street in Western Chu, the child will definitely be hated by others, and there is a fear that he will have no peace in the future.
At this moment, Jiujiu's voice, with a hint of pride, sounded in the ears of the eldest prince and the crown prince.
[Hehehe, the courageous person that big brother mentioned is me. I was the one who set the fire. I am so awesome.]
Jiujiu covered her mouth and laughed secretly.
[Could it be that the prince brother also thinks the same as the elder brother? He admires Jiujiu very much and even wants to get to know Jiujiu. ]
[Hahaha, I really want to tell them the truth! ]
[This truth makes me feel anxious. 】
Jiujiu hesitated whether to tell the truth.
The eldest prince and the crown prince looked at Jiujiu in shock, as if they had heard something shocking.
They never imagined that the person who set the fire was Jiujiu, a little girl of three years old?
I think Jiujiu set the fire in order to escape after being kidnapped.
It is true that you are courageous, bold, and brave. It is even more true that you can do what you want and it is admirable...
However, the prince asked tentatively whether it was Jiujiu who set the fire. After getting Jiujiu's affirmative answer, the prince was already thinking about how to make Jiujiu remember it.
This girl is so brave.
If you keep playing with your life like this, you will die sooner or later.
He didn't want to lose Jiujiu, his only sister.
He had to let her know that no matter what happened, she should not risk her life.
Jiujiu had no idea what the prince was thinking, and she even asked for credit: "Brother Crown Prince, big brother, how are you going to reward me for my heroic behavior?"
The eldest prince was thinking.
The prince casually grabbed a ruler from a street stall and said, "An elder brother is like a father. Jiujiu, you did such a risky thing. Today, your brother must take the place of your father to teach you a lesson so that you will never take risks again..."
When the eldest prince heard this, he pulled Jiujiu behind him to protect him and said angrily, "Prince, what are you doing? Are you going to beat Jiujiu?"
"Just hit, hit..." Five times? No, too many. Three times? Too many too. Two times, still too many. "I'll just hit once..." It really can't be any less.
"Brother, please get out of the way."
"I won't let you." The eldest prince said, pushing the prince, "Jiujiu is our only sister. Don't you know how good she is, prince? You actually want to hit her?"
"Spoiling a child is like killing him." The prince said, "Brother, don't you understand?"
The eldest prince understood, but he just doted on Jiujiu and said, "Jiujiu has seventeen brothers. Can't so many people protect her? Prince, you admit that you are useless and can't protect others. I don't care, but I won't admit it. I just dote on her and I can protect him. If you have any opinions, hold them back..."
Prince: “…………”
The eldest prince said this, picked up Jiujiu and flew away.
Jiujiu experienced the ancient people’s lightness skills for the first time.
"Amazing! Jiujiu is flying."
“Ahhh…”
"It's a pity that it's getting dark, and I can't see clearly what's down there."
There wasn't a trace of sadness in Jiujiu's voice.
The prince wanted to beat her, but she wasn't sad?
