Chapter 572: Lantern Festival
After Mrs. Li was solved, the Lu family had no extra eyeliner, which was also thanks to Saria's credit, so Xiaoman made all kinds of desserts to thank her.
Saria is still a little girl, after all, she loves snacks, and seeing that Xiaoman brought so many things to comfort herself, she likes Xiaoman more and more.
"Although you can't do anything well, I think the dim sum is still good."
Salia stuffed a mouthful of pastries and boasted to Xiaoman, seeing that Salia liked the snacks she made so much, Xiaoman's heart was also sweet.
"What is this, in a few days I will go to Beijing to open a lantern festival, at that time the streets are full of delicious food and fun, I can take you with me."
"Why don't you go with Lu Li."
Now that Saria naturally knows the relationship between the two people, she feels strange why Xiaoman has to run around with her.
"Lu Li will be in charge of the guards in Beijing at that time, so ......"
A look of disappointment appeared on Xiao Man's face, and he also wanted to leave with Lu to experience the lantern festival in Shangjing, and feel the feeling of the lights being dim.
"So that's the case, I'll accompany you to Xiaoman, who is fine."
Salia patted Xiaoman on the shoulder and gave her a smile to tell her not to be so disappointed.
On the day of the Shangyuan Festival, Lu Li naturally set off early, and there would be a lot of people at night, and it would be too late to arrange the patrol at that time.
Xiaoman specially prepared a Hanfu for Saria, the red one was dotted with golden lotus flowers, thinking that under the light of the Lantern Festival, Saria's appearance would be more feminine.
Saria looked at her clothes, Xiao Man was really thoughtful, and she thanked Xiao Man again and again for being so attentive to herself.
As night fell, crowds began to gather on the streets of Shangjing, and the daughters' families also took advantage of this day to come out to play, and Salia and Xiaoman held hands. Walking around the downtown area.
Suddenly, Salia saw masks on both sides of the street, and immediately approached them.
"Xiaoman, look, let's buy two masks together, okay?"
Seeing that Saria's eyes were shining, Xiaoman naturally paid the money happily, and took a mask of a monkey by himself, and Salia likes weirdness, so she took a Zhu Bajie.
Just as the two of them were choosing masks, a man in black watched them quietly, and after seeing them buy masks, he immediately walked up to a man dressed in white and holding a folding fan.
"Childe, the target has been found."
This son looks very handsome, and his appearance is somewhat similar to that of today's emperor, and his smile is as warm as jade.
"Go, get Su Xiaoman for me."
Hearing the order of the man in white, the man in black immediately rushed out to carry out the task.
Salia walked for a while, lost interest in her Zhu Bajie mask, looked at it, and still thought that Xiaoman's Sun Monkey mask was more interesting.
"Xiaoman, can I change my mask with you."
Xiao Man naturally nodded and took over Saria's mask, and Saria looked at the mask of Sun Monkey in her hand, vividly, with a happy smile on her face.
I don't know where a bunch of people suddenly came out, Pearl was busy protecting Xiaoman, for fear that Xiaoman would be hit by someone, but in the flow of people, Xiaoman and Saria's hands were released.
Salia only felt as if someone had covered her mouth, and then she fainted.
Xiao Man was pulled by the pearl to another open space, and when he saw that there was no Saria behind him, he looked around, and his heart began to panic.
"Pearl, did you see Saraya?"
Pearl breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that her master was fine, and looked left and right, indeed not knowing where Saria had gone.
"It should be the princess who is playful, so she went somewhere else."
Xiao Man frowned, although Saria's nature is indeed a little naughty, but she would never do anything that worries her so much.
"Pearl, immediately let all the family members look for Saria in the streets."
After hearing the order, the family members began to walk around the street, but there were too many people for the lantern festival, and the street was like a rice ball, which could be said to be impassable.
Half an hour later, the family members came back one after another, and the expressions on their faces were very ugly, and needless to say, they knew that they had not found anything.
"Ma'am, we did our best, and this is all we found."
Xiao Man looked at the things in Jia Ding's hand, isn't this the Sun Monkey mask in Salia's hand, if it wasn't taken away, how could she throw away the mask on her hand.
"Oh no, something must have happened to Saraya."
Xiao Man's body began to tremble, thinking about who the hell would kidnap Saria,
After thinking about it for a long time, Xiaoman didn't get any answer.
Now that there is no room for turning back, it is still necessary to tell Lu Li about this matter first.
Xiao Man hurriedly ran to the place where Lu Li was stationed, and as soon as the soldiers outside saw her, they knew that she must have something to find Lu Li, so they immediately got out of the way.
"Hello Mrs. Lu."
Xiao Man didn't have time to greet the soldiers now, so he hurriedly rushed in and saw Lu Li reading the book of soldiers inside.
Seeing Xiaoman in such a hurry, her face was as pale as paper, and he hurriedly supported her and asked her what happened.
"Xiaoman, what's wrong with you."
"Sharia has been taken away."
After Xiao Man finished speaking, Lu Li's expression began to become ugly, to say that this Shari is a princess from the Western Regions, her identity is too special, if something happens to him, it is very likely that it will be the result of the war between the Central Plains and the Western Regions.
So Lu Li slowly helped Xiao Man to the chair, asked Xiao Man to sit down and rest for a while, and then led the soldiers to start looking for Sharia in Shangjing.
Originally, the people in Beijing were having fun at the Lantern Festival, but suddenly the army began to patrol the city, so everyone couldn't help but have some panic in their hearts, so they could only go home in disappointment, and the streets suddenly became empty.
In a small alley, there was an earthen house, and the man in white heard the movement outside and smiled.
I didn't expect this Lu Li to move so fast, and the street immediately quieted down, probably because Su Xiaoman was in his hands, so he was anxious.
Thinking of Lu Li's anxious appearance, the man in white felt very ridiculous, this general actually fell into his hands so easily.
At this time, Sharia in front of him slowly woke up, Sharia looked at the surrounding environment, it was not the Lu Mansion she was familiar with, and she immediately became alert.
"Who are you?"
Sharia looked at the man in front of her and covered half of her face with a folding fan, leaving only a pair of fox-like sly lights.
"This ...... How so? ”
The man in white saw Sharia's green eyes, which was obviously not the pupil color of a Central Plains woman, and he thought that this should be Lu Li's second lady Sharia.
The man in white didn't expect his subordinates to be so useless, and he actually caught a useless princess of the Western Regions back, and immediately punched the wall in anger.
"It's all a bunch of rubbish, and none of them are useful."
Although Sharia didn't know who the man in white was scolding, he must have some bad intentions when he caught himself here, so he immediately stood up and wanted to escape.
This man in white saw that Sharia wanted to leave, how could he be willing to let her go, if she went back immediately and told Lu Li, wouldn't her plan be all in vain.
But to the great surprise of the man in white, Sharia didn't want to be like an ordinary soft woman in the Central Plains, she was so good at her kung fu that she directly pulled out the whip on her body and hit herself.
Lu Li's army searched the city for a long time without seeing Sharia, and Lu Li was sure that this must be a long-planned plan, so he immediately called his cronies.
"Are the emperor and queen at the palace banquet today?"
"Yes."
Lu Li pondered for a moment, even if the emperor wanted to make a move on Sharia, he would not choose this time today, after all, there was a palace banquet in the palace, and he and the queen had to sacrifice to the sky, so they couldn't be busy at all.
"Have all the royal relatives and relatives arrived at the palace banquet today?"
After doing the math, I really found a suspicious character.
"General, King Ning took leave today, saying that he was not feeling well."
Hearing this name, Lu Li became nervous, he also knew a little about King Ning, he was the emperor's younger brother, he said to the outside world that he was frail, and he had been cultivating in Xiangguo Temple, but Lu Li knew that his scheming was very deep.
It is very likely that everything he is doing now is to deceive the emperor and make him let down his guard against himself, and when the time comes, His Royal Highness King Ning will definitely make a move.
"Could it be that King Ning did it......"
Inside the earth house, Shari and King Ning were inseparable, King Ning didn't expect this princess to be so powerful, and he was not particularly good at martial arts, so for a while, he actually fell behind.
"Who the hell are you, if you admit it now, this princess will let you go."
How could King Ning let Sharia know his identity so easily, but now it was really difficult for him to deal with Sharia.
Soon, the sound of officers and soldiers searching came from outside the alley, thinking that Lu Li's people should have come to find it, and this was not a safe place.
King Ning decided not to continue the struggle with Shariya here, found a window, and jumped out.
Sharia saw that King Ning actually wanted to escape, and was about to catch up, but the officers and soldiers broke open the door.
"Princess, we've finally found you."
Sharia looked at the officers and soldiers in front of her, and her heart was anxious and angry, they simply delayed themselves to catch this thief.
"Hurry up, he's in front."
The officers and soldiers heard Sharia's words, but they didn't move, because Lu Li's order was to find Sharia, and now that they see the princess, it is the most important thing for the princess to take her back as soon as possible.
"Princess, come back with us."
Seeing that the officers and soldiers had no intention of chasing them out, Sharia chased them out directly in the direction that King Ning had left.
