"I've got it."
Master Pang nodded repeatedly.
Yun Yishu paused for a moment, then said, "Deng Pingping said that Yuan Da is a villain. His men all know you. You also have an elderly mother at home. Why don't you bring your mother over and have her stay in the empty room in the backyard of the money shop?"
"Thank you so much, boss!"
Master Pang looked at Yun Yishu with tears of gratitude, never expecting that his master had even thought of such things.
I will definitely be loyal to my employer from now on!
...
In the capital of Western Chu, after leaving the pawnshop, Yun Duoduo and Zheng Ningxiang headed towards the palace.
Several beautiful women from the geisha house, dressed in black, walked ahead. When they were almost at the palace gate, the women suddenly spread out in an umbrella shape and leaped over walls and rooftops into the palace.
Wow, Grandma Xue is amazing! She's trained such a talented group of people!
Yun Duoduo was stunned. She even doubted whether it was the right decision for Granny Xue to hand over the Plum Blossom Pavilion to her.
[Will the Plum Blossom Pavilion be ruined in my hands?!]
The people from Plum Blossom Pavilion acted with great precision. In an instant, more than a dozen men in black moved out at the same time, greatly attracting the defensive forces inside the palace. The guards who were originally observing the surroundings at the palace gate and on the eaves immediately became vigilant and nervously dealt with the suddenly appearing assassins.
The two sides were evenly matched, and for a time, the situation was very tense. Naturally, no one noticed Yun Duoduo, the little dumpling who looked harmless.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Yun Duoduo crouched down and slipped inside silently.
After entering the palace, she walked along the walls, carefully searching for the study of the Western Chu royal family.
Based on her years of experience and understanding of emperors, she could roughly guess the location of the defense map.
There are only two places where the defense map is hidden: one is the study, and the other is Xi Jing's bedroom.
study……
It seemed that what was in front of her was a study...
[Truly, heaven is on my side!]
Yun Duoduo looked happily at the study with the window open, which was filled with books.
She looked around; it was quiet and no one was there. She tiptoed along the window frame and climbed inside.
What a huge study!
Clouds rolled in through the window. The study had three floors, filled with countless books and boxes.
Holy crap, so many! Where the hell am I supposed to find all of this?!
She was very worried; with so many things, where should she even begin to search?
Yun Duoduo was observing the books in the study when suddenly a pair of feet appeared in front of her, scaring her out of her wits.
She looked up and reached into her sleeve, intending to poison the uninvited guest who had suddenly appeared, then go find the defense map, and once she found it, she would immediately make her escape.
But when she looked up and saw the face of the person in front of her, she was stunned!
The person before me was... was actually Xi Jing?!
[Emma, we've run into a trap!]
[Wasn't he leading troops to fight in the Western Sea?!]
[Damn it, are they trying to play a diversionary tactic on me?!]
Yun Duoduo didn't have time to think. She threw the poison powder in her hand, turned around, and ran away.
[Get out of here! This lunatic is not to be trifled with!]
Before she could run a single step, Xi Jing grabbed her arm.
Xi Jing anticipated Yun Duoduo's movements, and when he saw her hand slip into her sleeve, he moved it away.
Yun Duoduo was being held tightly by Xi Jing and couldn't break free at all.
"You really haven't changed at all. You used this trick on me years ago, and now you still only know this one trick."
Xi Jing was initially somewhat doubtful when she looked at the person in front of her, wondering if it was the same quirky little girl she had met many years ago. After all, people's appearances change as they grow up.
However, seeing her clumsy moves now, it became clear that the person in front of her was indeed the Ninth Princess of Nanyang.
This little thing has grown into such a beautiful young woman.
The last time I saw her, she looked rather chubby and innocent; now, she possesses a beauty that could topple kingdoms.
However, compared to my appearance, she is still far inferior.
"I was just looking for you, but you've delivered yourself right to my doorstep. Don't you think we're destined for each other?"
"Perhaps you miss me and can't wait to come to Western Chu and marry me?!"
"However, you haven't reached the age of marriage yet, so this is a bit too hasty."
Xi Jing lifted her up by the waist, and the two left the study and headed towards the main hall.
"Xi Jing, you big lunatic, let me go!"
Yun Duoduo was on the verge of tears, cursing herself for being a pig-headed idiot.
How did they become mentally deficient?
[If I had known that Plum Blossom Pavilion also had connections in Western Chu, I should have first found out whether Xi Jing had left the palace before sneaking in!]
But it was too late; Yun Duoduo had already fallen into the hands of the madman.
At this moment, all she can do is try her best to survive and live unharmed.
"Speak, what brings you to Western Chu?"
Xi asked while carrying Yun Duoduo on his back.
Yun Duoduo was on his shoulder, and he was shaking her so much that she felt dizzy and nauseous.
Thankfully, he didn't ask what you were doing in the study.
It seems he hasn't figured out why I came.
"Of course I came to find you!"
"Oh? I was right after all. You're so eager to marry me?" Xi Jing's face showed a smug expression.
[How shameless!]
Yun Duoduo rolled her eyes dramatically.
"Xi Jing, you're so handsome, there must be many women who are attracted to you, why do you insist on marrying me?!"
"I am not a celestial maiden, and that imperial advisor is lying to you," Yun Duoduo said, emphasizing the facts and reasoning behind her words.
"Oh? You already know that?" Xi Jing raised an eyebrow, it seemed the news had already spread.
"Besides, I already have someone I like."
After Yun Duoduo finished speaking, she clearly felt Xi Jing's body stiffen and his steps falter.
"How old are you? You already have someone you like?" Xi Jing's voice sounded a little annoyed.
"Yes, we grew up together!"
Yun Duoduo nodded.
[My brother Sumire, he's someone I grew up with!]
My brother Jinzhi saved me many times: the time the Buddhist hall caught fire, the time she was almost suffocated by someone using a sack, and the time she was almost bitten by a poisonous snake at Fushuang Palace...
[Moreover, my brother Jinzhi treats me very well. Every year on her birthday, I receive a carefully prepared gift from him, and during the Lantern Festival, I receive beautiful lanterns.]
Although Jinzhi's brother often went to the northern frontier on "business trips," limiting their opportunities to meet, this did not prevent her, a person whose soul was much more mature than her body, from falling in love with that handsome young man.
She has liked him since she was a child.
[The one who grew up with you...]
Yun Duoduo's beloved is her childhood sweetheart...
Xi Jing pondered those words.
