Chapter 8: The Exile.

Jiang Yanran quickly looked away, lowered her head and coughed lightly as if she were disguised, but she didn't know that the reddened ears had already betrayed her.

"Over there...... There's a candy painting seller over there, I'm ...... I'll take a look. Jiang Yanran stammered and strode forward.

Cheng Lixue didn't demolish her either, shook his head and was about to follow, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw some familiar faces, and his eyes were slightly cold and he suddenly stopped.

From afar, he said softly to Jiang Yanran: "Ah Yan, I have something to do, leave for a while, you wait for me in the same place." ”

Jiang Yanran was embarrassed by him, and didn't think much about it, and waved his hand: "Go, go." ”

......

Cheng Lixue walked around the alley for a long time before choosing a secluded corner to stop.

"Come out!"

As soon as he finished speaking, two or three people came out of the darkness. He knelt down in front of Cheng Lixue and saluted: "See Childe!"

Cheng Lixue glanced coldly at the people on the ground, "Who asked you to come?"

The man at the head looked at Cheng Lixue cautiously before he spoke: "Since the incident that day, Your Majesty has been very worried about the safety of your son, and has been ordering me to secretly inquire for several days. ”

As he spoke, he took out a golden token from his arms, which was the personal token of Cheng Xun, the father of Cheng Lixue, the monarch of Chu State.

Seeing this token, Cheng Lixue's face softened slightly, and she waved her hand to let the people on the ground get up, "I don't know what the adults call them?"

"How dare you call an adult in front of the son, the surname of the humble family is Zhang, a person from Taiyuan, and a single name is sincere. Zhang Cheng replied.

Cheng Lixue of the Taiyuan Zhang clan recalled, it seems that their family has a descendant who serves in the palace, and if I remember correctly, he should have been the commander of the Janissary Army of Wupin.

"It was Commander Zhang. Cheng Lixue nodded, and then said, "Does my father have a will?"

"Your Majesty's dictation, the matter has been completed, please return quickly. Zhang Cheng knelt down again, and presented a bright yellow silk cloth with both hands.

Cheng Lixue took the silk cloth and read it at a glance, and said to Zhang Cheng: "Tell my father that Lone already knows." ”

Are you going to go back to Chu now? Zhang Cheng looked embarrassed and said with some hesitation: "Childe, Your Majesty means to let you leave immediately. ”

"Go down!" Cheng Lixue's eyes lit up: "What's the matter?"

Zhang Cheng lowered his head and said heinously, who in the Seven Kingdoms didn't know that Prince Chu was the most moody and weird, and who dared to offend easily?

"Stand down!" Cheng Lixue glanced at Zhang Cheng, and just one glance made him shiver all over his body.

"Yes. Zhang Cheng replied in a low voice and left with his two subordinates.

When Zhang Cheng's figure disappeared completely, Cheng Lixue looked at the silk cloth in his hand and sneered a few times before annihilating it.

His high-ranking father is already in a hurry.

......

Cheng Lixue returned to the agreed place with Jiang Yanran, but she didn't see Jiang Yanran's figure, the sugar painting stall was still supported, and three or five children gathered in front of the stall, staring at the sugar man inside.

Cheng Lixue walked over and lured the two children with a candy man, and learned from them that Jiang Yanran had indeed stayed here, but no one noticed when she left.

Could it be that he was in a hurry and went back first? Cheng Lixue couldn't help but guess in his heart, he was about to leave, but as soon as he turned around, someone pulled the corner of his clothes from behind.

It was a five- or six-year-old child, thin and small, with a dirty face, but his eyes were frighteningly bright.

"I know where that girl is, I see it. He held out a finger and continued, "You give me a candy man, and I'll tell you where she is." ”

"Yes. Cheng Lixue nodded in agreement.

Seeing Cheng Lixue agree, he immediately pointed to one of the fairy-like sugar men and said, "I want it." ”

Cheng Lixue directly paid for it and handed it to him.

The boy had sugar, and the man cherished it, wrapped it in oiled paper and put it in his arms.

"I saw that the girl was taken away by Wang Er's drug stun. ”

"Who is Wang Er?"

"He's a well-known bastard in the city, and you'll know with a little inquiry, but I guess the girl you're with is in the City Lord's Mansion right now. ”

Cheng Lixue frowned: "Where did you know?"

He explained: "Because a month ago, I saw another girl being taken away in the same way, and it was also this Wang Er who shot it, and a few days ago, I saw Wang Er enter and leave the City Lord's Mansion. ”
