Chapter 611: Abandoned Child (15)
Seeing that the other party was interested, Ketu handed over a piece of osmanthus cake, patted the bed, and motioned for the girl to sit down.
"Humph, you can say it if you want. If you don't want to say it, forget it."
"Why are you so impatient, girl? Wangmo City is a dead city. Two years ago, I was trying to escape from my enemies and accidentally broke into it. At that time..."
After listening to Ketu's description, Gu Yuxi was stumped for a moment. Wu Dejing and his group were currently looking for a rare medicinal herb in Wangmo City, and they were planning to let him and Ye Yi go with them. What should he do?
Ketu accidentally touched the mechanism, and that place has now become an isolated place. Rocks are falling from great heights, so how could there be any treasures left?
"I'm telling the truth. When I came out, I saw that the mountains around that place had collapsed. It was because I went to that place that I became a proton of Xin Dynasty."
"Don't talk." Gu Yuxi, who was thinking, slapped the pastry handed over to him.
"Hey, brother has taken such good care of you. I definitely wouldn't say this to anyone else. You are so heartless."
"Where are Granny Baicao's things?"
"I can't give it to you now. It will bring you trouble."
“I am capable of protecting what belongs to me.”
Ketu looked at the calloused little hands in front of him, and a flash of heartache flashed in his eyes, but he still shook his head and refused...
"You... okay, wait for me." After saying this, Gu Yuxi walked towards the door, tiptoed, flew like a swallow, and soon disappeared from Ke Tu's sight.
"The little girl still has a temper, but she will come anyway, just wait." After saying that, Ketu sat cross-legged, and a strange internal energy began to circulate...
More than five years later...
At the top of the restaurant, a masked man said, "Seventeen, Yuanhongyuan needs an oiran who is good at playing the zither. How about you go?"
"Your Highness wants me to become a prostitute. Our agreement will expire in six months. This..."
"Why not? This is a potion for removing the mark. I'm looking forward to seeing your true face. Besides, this doesn't affect our agreement. After all, you can still trust my credit." The man interrupted the woman and put a bottle on the table.
After the woman left, another masked man asked, "Brother, Seventeen is mine..."
"Brother Yin, Seventeen is smart. Now that the Xin Dynasty is in chaos, we need to fish in troubled waters. Besides, Seventeen wants to leave, and I can't stop her. She knows too many secrets. It would be fine if she continued to stay with us, but if she leaves..."
"I see."
"Now that we have defeated the Xin Dynasty's troops, someone will take you home in half a month, and Seventeen and others will continue to stay here."
"Yes."
Wu Chengyin was a little uncomfortable returning to the cold palace without the familiar figures. Two secret guards appeared and saluted him, and he raised his hands casually.
Seventeen of his subordinates will die, but he doesn't know the exact date. They will be ambushed, so he needs to be prepared in advance.
"Master, I have found out everything. Seventeen has been mysteriously going out every few nights over the past few years and has been to this place."
Looking at the name of the palace, Wu Chengyin couldn't help but frown and murmured, "Why did Seventeen go to that place? Is there something fishy going on?"
"There is a Toro monster in that place, the former Holy Son of the Toro Kingdom."
"Your Highness, Seventeen has absolutely no second thoughts. She just..."
Ye Shisan immediately interrupted Ye Qi's explanation: "Ye Qi, I know you usually take care of Shi Qi, but this is related to our safety, how dare you deceive the master."
"Master..."
"Ye Qi, shut up and speak!" Wu Chengyin said in a deep voice.
"Master, Ketu's departure from the cold palace was entirely the work of Seventeen. She first made that useless man show favor to Xin Xiulian, the Princess of Xin Dynasty, and then helped the Crown Prince complete a secret mission, so that man left two years ago."
"continue."
The woman looked at Wu Chengyin's increasingly gloomy face and continued, "Seventeen has often interacted with the Xigua people in the past two years. That person is now planning to assassinate the king of Xin Dynasty and often inquires about the strength of Xin Dynasty. However, His Royal Highness Prince Jing has not received the news. This news..." Ye Shisan did not say the rest of the words.
"Oh, I won't keep my subordinates who have ulterior motives. My brother is smart. All of you go down!"
"Master, calm down."
After those people left, Wu Chengyin rubbed his brows. Seventeen was the knife he used most conveniently, but if she kept trying to find out the other party's strengths and weaknesses, then whether their Wu country was also in their plan.
"Seventeen, which side are you on?"
A few days later...
"Your Highness Prince Yin, you have suffered. His Majesty has asked the servants to help you bathe and change clothes. Please sit down and we will do the work."
"This king is not used to being touched by others."
Looking at the diligent appearance of those palace servants, Wu Chengyin felt only irony. Several servants in the cold palace were sentenced to death, and it was their own fault.
He put on the clothes brought by the palace servants and looked back before leaving the cold palace.
This place brought him hardships, but also allowed him to grow a lot, all of which is over.
After a short palace banquet, Wu Chengyin began to prepare for departure. He got on the carriage and left the palace gate.
"Master, it's nice outside the palace. The air is fresh."
"Master needs to rest and be quiet."
Seeing Wu Chengyin closing his eyes to rest, Ye Shisan finally calmed down, but his eyes would always look over there unconsciously.
"The new courtesan of Yuanhong Courtyard sells her art but not her body. Only the rich and powerful can have the honor to see Miss Honeysuckle's elegance."
"It's five taels of silver for each meeting. Singing, dancing, wine, tea, etc. are Miss Honeysuckle's specialties. It's a pity that we can't touch her."
“This song is really beautiful.”
People outside were talking about it. A masked woman in blue stood next to the railing of a building decorated with lights. She plucked the strings of a guzheng in her hands, and the noisy people suddenly quieted down.
"Your Highness, the road ahead is blocked for some reason. You must..." the secret guard Hei Yi reminded intentionally.
"bypass."
"Yes."
Wu Chengyin lifted the curtain and heard piano music. He felt it was familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it.
"Miss Honeysuckle, Miss Honeysuckle, look at me."
"It's really nice. It's only one thousand taels of gold. I'll go back and collect the money now."
Ye Shisan complained: "They are just a bunch of good-for-nothings. Which of these brothel girls is clean?"
Wu Chengyin rubbed his brows, then glanced at Ye Shisan who was standing beside him, and said to Ye Jiu who was driving the car, "Hei Yi, change to someone who doesn't talk much."
"Yes."
"Your Highness, Thirteen didn't mean it, Your Highness..."
"Noisy."
Wu Chengyin shook his hands nonchalantly, and Hei Yi immediately took the talkative Ye Shisan away from the carriage. Wu Chengyin picked up a piece of cake from the box, and when he ate it, he actually thought of the usually quiet Ye Shiqi.
