Chapter 18
"Zhang Laonian! Hurry up, the captain of the guards is waiting for us, why are you still eating!"
The man in soldier's uniform grabbed his colleague who was still eating a steamed bun at the table and shouted unhappily.
"The prince will be out in a cup of tea, hurry up, you are the only one who is not in a hurry!"
When Zhang Laonian heard this, he immediately tried hard to swallow the white flour bun in his mouth, but the bun was too dry and he choked. Fortunately, the man who came to call him grabbed the teapot beside him and filled it with water, so he managed to swallow the bun.
Zhang Laonian breathed a sigh of relief after surviving the disaster, and then gave his colleagues a foolish smile.
"Thank you, Shuanzi. I haven't eaten white flour buns for a long time. It's only because the prince is kind that he gives us, the rough folks, good food. I'll be there now."
After laughing, Zhang Laonian's expression became serious, and a murderous aura appeared on his body. He looked like a veteran who had experienced many battles.
When the two men arrived at the gate, other colleagues had already arrived. Fortunately, the captain of the guards had not arrived yet, so Zhang Laonian breathed a sigh of relief.
As soon as the two entered the queue and stood firm, they saw a strong figure appear at the end of the road.
"Be alert today. The prince is going to go out on the street. Don't let anyone who doesn't have eyes come up and offend the prince!"
"Yes!" XN.
All the guards shouted in unison.
"Go to the carriage!"
The captain of the guards waved his hand, his aura of majesty evident without even being angry.
Zhang Laonian ran to where he was supposed to stand and wondered when he would be able to have the aura of the chief guard. Then he laughed at himself in his heart.
How could a small-time soldier like him be qualified to compare with the captain of the guards?
When the Captain of the Guards was with the Grand Marshal, he was his personal soldier. If the Grand Marshal really couldn't find a trusted person to take care of his precious grandson, he would have been reluctant to part with the Captain of the Guards.
In the end, it was the captain of the guards who took the initiative to request the Grand Marshal.
The other guards in the palace were also actively selected by the captain of the guards at the border. These soldiers had nothing to be unhappy about. After all, working in the palace was a good thing that could bring them immediate success. If they could gain face in front of the prince, even getting a wife would be easy.
Even though the prince is only six years old, six years old is safe. He is also favored by the emperor, and his treatment is comparable to that of a prince, and sometimes even better than that of a prince.
Moreover, the young prince was kind-hearted and made sure they had enough to eat. He even gave them white flour buns this morning.
The soft white flour buns feel soft and hot when you put your hand on them, and are better to touch than lamb.
As Zhang Laonian thought about it, he swallowed his saliva, touched his full stomach, and his body became straighter.
Soon, a group of maids and servants came over from the distance, surrounding a person.
This scene of taking eight steps with one foot shocked the guards who grew up at the border and had few servants even in the Grand Marshal's Mansion.
Soon a group of people arrived in front of him. As the maids and servants dispersed, a child wearing a scarlet dragon robe embroidered with gold and silver was revealed.
The child's eyebrows and eyes are as delicate as jade, making him look like a fairy boy.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
The captain of the guards was the first to step forward and salute the young prince, and the other guards also stepped forward to salute.
"Uncle Zhao, no need to be polite. We are going to Pinglefang today. I heard there will be a variety show there today!"
The young prince waved his hand nonchalantly and was carried into the carriage by the old woman in a few steps.
Although the captain of the guards did not agree with the young prince's association with such a mixed crowd, seeing the young prince's high spirits, he could not bear to refuse. He could only signal the deputy captain of the guards with his eyes to let everyone be more cautious, and then he sat in front of the carriage and drove the young prince himself.
Fortunately, today went smoothly. When he arrived at Pinglefang, although the little prince still wanted everything he saw, he finally knew not to ask for the food.
And these little things - can't the Prince Zhongning's Palace afford this little money?
"This wooden hairpin is beautiful! I want it!" "I want this one!" "This cricket cage is beautiful, I want it!"
Zhang Laonian protected the young prince, listening to him buying things, his eyes fixed on the people around him.
Even the vendors couldn't get close to the prince, and next to him, the partner who had called him before was holding a purse, paying according to the price offered by the stall, and occasionally bargaining with others.
The little prince didn't care about these things and just played with them after getting them.
Because of the official uniform he wore, other tourists did not dare to approach him and could only squeeze on the other side with a sense of grievance.
They also thought that they had no dissatisfaction. They were from the capital, and their ability to identify important figures was honed through thousands of years of practice.
Soon they deduced the child's identity from the royal family's clothes and the jade pendant that only princes had.
——The most beloved nephew of His Majesty, the little tyrant of the capital city whom even the princes have to stay away from, Prince Zhongning Pei Muchu!
When this guy was 5 years old, he punched the prince on the nose, causing the prince's nose to become sore and later had to undergo surgery to repair it, and his bone was fractured. However, this guy was unharmed, and the prince took half a month to recover. This story was heard throughout the capital!
Zhang Laonian didn't notice that everyone was looking at the little prince with fear. He was still sighing that his life during this period was really comfortable. He had enough to eat every day, and his job was to take care of the children. The flesh on his body was almost going soft.
Zhang Laonian was just thinking about it when the young prince seemed to have seen something and rushed in one direction. He was so scared that he took the lead and blocked the young prince behind him.
"What are they doing? What are they talking about?" the little prince asked, blinking his eyes, with the corners of his eyes turned up, making him look like a cat.
"I'll go ask right away!"
Before Zhang Laonian could answer, another guard rushed over first. Zhang Laonian cursed in his heart, wondering how could this guy get there first.
The other guards also looked unhappy. They were afraid that they would be beaten during the evening sparring when this kid came back.
"Your Highness, these people are customers of a small stall. The pancakes sold by this stall are said to be quite delicious, and they can be exchanged for food. However, the stall is not open today, so these customers gathered here to sigh."
The guard who came to report, with sweat on his forehead, reported the news he had just obtained to the young prince.
"Are the pancakes here really so delicious? Where does the stall owner live?" The little prince opened his cat's eyes wide.
"It seems to be in the suburbs of Beijing."
The young prince immediately looked at the chief guard beside him with expectant eyes.
The chief guard: "...I will go to the city gate and prepare now."

Half an hour later
Lijia Village.
Lin Cao'er was walking towards the old house with a sickle.
When she returned home today, she found that the money from selling pancakes had been robbed by the people in the old house, and her parents were beaten. This showed that they had no intention of giving their family a chance to survive!
Well, if the people in the old house don’t want to give them a chance to live, then there’s no need for her to leave them a chance to live!
Lin Cao'er thought with gritted teeth.
But at this moment, a group of officials on horseback suddenly ran towards her from a distance.
Lin Cao'er was about to dodge when these people stopped in front of her.
The leading officer asked in a low voice.
"Lin Cao'er?"
Stunned Lin Caoer nodded subconsciously.
The leading official waved his hand and said, "Take him away!"
The next second, Lin Cao'er was carried onto the horse by a strong woman:?
Screams immediately broke through the sky!
"Help! Human traffickers!"
