Chapter 046: The Road to Rivalry is Narrow
Old Man Xing leaned back in his chair.
The old dragon clock, the body seems to have reached a state of exhaustion of oil lamps.
Compared to the noisy and chaotic outside, there are some tablets in the house, all neatly organized, all of them are those who died in the frontier.
There is also incense enshrined, and the house is relatively simple, and it can even be said that it is poor.
And the little beggar sat on Old Man Xing's lap, eating osmanthus cake quietly.
Those eyes were extraordinarily clear, looking at me.
Old Man Xing didn't look at me again, but looked down at the little boy in his arms.
"Is it because you like her?"
The little boy nodded.
His old wrinkled hand gently stroked the little beggar's head.
There was kindness between the eyebrows.
"Old Xing."
I paused and bowed my head slightly.
I've always been curious that he fought bravely and achieved countless glory, but it seems to have been deliberately forgotten, and it has rarely been mentioned until now.
In my trance, I even felt suspicious.
Did my father arrange this?
If all this is arranged, then what is the purpose?
Old Man Xing put down the child in his arms, walked in front of me, and slowly knelt down, but was pulled by me.
"I can't do it."
"Eldest princess, the purpose of your visit is also known, but it is not so easy to call those private soldiers, and before the emperor had an accident, he dismissed us, in order not to let you be involved."
Old Man Xing said slowly.
"But I've been involved for a long time, and if I don't do something, won't I have to watch everyone wait to die together?" I frowned.
I can almost imagine the meaning of my father's original advice.
He didn't want me to get involved in such a complicated matter, he just hoped that I could assist Chen Qixue well, be a wise man, and be safe and happy.
But where in the world can there be such a good thing.
Pei Yousheng hated to death, how could he watch the world be peaceful and worry-free.
In the end, Old Man Xing finally softened his tone.
"No matter what happens in the future, if something happens to the old minister, please help take care of this child, and the minister doesn't want to be rich, I just hope that he can live an ordinary life in this peaceful and prosperous world."
Old Man Xing's cloudy eyes were full of love, and his hand gently stroked the child's head.
Very gentle.
"Okay."
I don't know if it's my delusion, but when I should come down, Old Man Xing's face is really relaxed.
It seems to have let go of some obsession for many years.
When I went out, the little beggar was still at the base of the wall, looking at me with his head out.
I'm not afraid of life, but I've been looking at me with those black eyes.
A piece of osmanthus cake was held in his mouth for a long time and not swallowed, as if he had encountered a treasure.
I wanted to do something, but I was rejected by Mr. Xing.
Just let me wait for the right time and don't come for now.
When I went out from here, I passed by the casino again.
The people here are all fanatical gamblers, crazy and paranoid.
It looked like a black market next to it, but I didn't go in and I couldn't see it very clearly.
Just saw some cages being transported in.
"Let's go."
I turned my head to the green grapefruit waiting at the door.
But when he was about to leave, he saw a familiar figure on the black market.
At a glance, it is not only familiar, but also narrow.
The person who passed by just now was not the one who led people to wantonly 'catch rape' that night.
How could it be over here?
When will the people in the palace be able to come and go so freely?
Or are these people not from the palace in the first place?
"Princess?!"
Midori grabbed me in surprise and whispered.
I was pulled and stopped.
The location where I walked just now is the location of the black market.
I've never been to such a place, but I've heard of it.
Almost all of them were mixed, and most of them were people who came from unknown sources, and if something happened in such a place, at most they would take a straw mat and throw it into a mass grave.
There is no government that cares about these things.
"It's not safe now, and it's not too late to come here again when we wait to bring someone here." Green grapefruit block.
I only brought out Green Grapefruit alone, and the secret guard who used to protect me secretly was also sent by me to do something else.
Green grapefruit is right, if you go in directly, you really encounter an accident, and you will be in trouble.
I frowned and looked over there.
The familiar man, dressed in ordinary coarse linen clothes, didn't know what to ask at the stall, looking mysterious and sneaky.
I saw a side face, which was the same person who looked back at me that night.
After a lot of jumbled thoughts in my head, I decided to follow along.
My gut instinct told me there must be a clue I wanted to know.
"To the black market?"
The big guy in the casino just now, shaking the dice in his hand, looked back at me.
"I don't suggest you go over, if it weren't for Huzi's face, I wouldn't bother to remind you, it's not a joke over there, it's a special slaughter of you like this."
"If you don't want to live, it's better to find a place to bury yourself, why go to such a place to find it."
The big man didn't speak well, but he was upright.
"Huzi is usually a very clever child, why is he so casual and discerning when choosing friends."
He speaks rough and bold, has enough strength to protect himself, and is not afraid of offending people at all.
In his eyes, I am at most a stupid person with a lot of money and luck.
The tiger he said should be the quiet little beggar just now.
I'm still insisting on going.
When I was looking aimlessly, I finally found some clues, how could I watch the clues just walk away from me.
I can't believe that I can't find a useful clue this time.
Even if you really can't get any clues, just getting rid of that person and making sure he doesn't talk nonsense is a gain.
Green grapefruit couldn't resist me, just clasped his hands together and muttered in a low voice.
"My princess, the slave and maid are really involved by you this time, I hope you don't punish the slave and maid when you go back."
Although the green grapefruit was broken, it still followed me closely, and his hands were also on his waist, as if he was ready to confront people at any time.
The man didn't notice me behind me, he was walking in a hurry, and he didn't know what to do, so he paused at several stalls and communicated in nonsense.
But nothing seemed to be gained, and the man got impatient, and kicked hard at the last stall.
