Volume 1 The Dragon Mountain Empire Chapter 9 The Mysterious Man
The leader of the Eagle Hidden Pavilion frowned at the person who spoke, "What's going on?" Who escaped? ”
"A man and a woman, the exact identity is not clear."
"Check, after finding out the identity, a reward will be offered." The leader walked forward as he spoke, and walked up to the person who reported the situation, "Waste, if you can't get the two who escaped back, you can prepare for the aftermath of yourself." ”
"Find a place to dispose of the corpses in the mansion, and the pavilion master will send someone to take over the Meng family after dawn." After saying this, the leader of the men in black left the inner courtyard and walked outside the mansion.
Meng Yi was squatting in a weed outside the palace at this time, and from time to time a team of palace guards patrolled by, "Now hide here for the night, and then inquire about the situation in the Meng Mansion after dawn tomorrow, those black-clothed people should not chase here." Meng Yi also decided to hide near the palace after thinking about it, in the past, this third prince of Meng rarely left the Meng Mansion, and he had no impression of Longshan City, the only thing he knew was that the palace was heavily guarded, and there were guards patrolling outside the palace.
If those black-clothed people didn't want to clash with the palace guards, they would definitely not chase here, so Meng Yi chose to come here to hide first.
Although he thought that it was relatively safe here, Meng Yi still didn't dare to be careless, and kept vigilant all the time, paying attention to the surrounding situation. The most person who has died once, Meng Yi now cherishes life more than anyone else.
About an hour or so later, a team of palace guards had just patrolled from the opposite side, and Meng Yi, who had been vigilant about the surrounding situation, suddenly saw a black shadow jump out of the walls of the palace, and after a slight pause on the ground, it turned into a black and swept in the direction of Meng Yi.
'Assassin? Thief? As soon as these two words flashed in Meng Yi's mind, the black shadow had already flashed past him.
"Huh!" Although the black shadow was very fast, it still found Meng Yi squatting in the grass, and then lightly touched the ground with his toes, and stood in front of Meng Yi.
"What are you doing here?" At this time, he was dressed in black, his face was still covered with a black cloth, and only his eyes were exposed.
Although she deliberately made her voice very low, Meng Yi, a person who had traveled from modern times, could easily hear that this person was a woman.
"You still dare to say that I am sneaky, and you don't know what good things you have done." Meng Yi pressed his hand as he spoke, and motioned for the man in black to squat down and speak, "Say, did you steal or assassinate when you entered the palace?" ”
"Stealing? Assassination? The man in black squatted beside Meng Yi and looked at Meng Yi with curiosity in his eyes, "You say I'm a thief, assassin?" ”
Meng Yi glanced at her disdainfully, "Don't pretend in front of me, I don't want to share the spoils with you." You came out of the palace in this dress, you said you weren't a thief or an assassin, what else could it be? ”
The man in black looked back in the direction of the palace, and another team of patrolling guards passed by, "Let's go, let's get out of here first, and then I'll tell you who I am." I can't stay here anymore, and it won't be easy to get discovered by the guards. ”
"Haha, I'll just say, if you don't do something wrong, what if the guards find out." Meng Yi said with a smug smile.
"Don't talk nonsense, I'll take you out of here first and then explain to you, just to interrogate what you're doing here in the middle of the night." Saying that, the man in black reached out and grabbed Meng Yi's collar, stood up and swept away with Meng Yi.
When the two were talking, the man in black had already seen that Meng Yi didn't have any cultivation, so he grabbed him by the collar and took him away.
The man in black took Meng Yi to turn left and right, and finally stopped in front of a somewhat dilapidated small courtyard in the east of the city, and the man in black knocked on the door after putting down Meng Yi.
Soon I heard a sound of footsteps in the courtyard, and the door was opened by a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, with a pair of bright eyes that were very cute.
The little girl was just about to speak, but the man in black preemptively spoke: "Tingting, I've come to see you, is Grandpa Li here?" ”
"Here, the little trickster is crying and making trouble, so noisy that everyone can't sleep, and Grandpa Li is coaxing him to sleep." The man in black took Meng Yi into the courtyard, and Tingting said while closing the door.
"This little trickster can really make trouble, it seems that I need to clean up before I can be honest." The man in black had already torn off the black cloth on his face as he spoke, revealing a beautiful face, which looked to be about twenty years old.
The woman in black saw Meng Yi looking at her with her eyes shining, and she couldn't help but show a trace of blush on her face, and glared at Meng Yi fiercely and said, "Look at what, follow me honestly, and I will interrogate you well in a while." ”
Meng Yi didn't say anything, just shrugged his shoulders helplessly, which means that he loves it, anyway, it's not me who is the thief.
The woman in black and Tingting walked side by side in front, Meng Yi followed them to a large room on the left side of the courtyard, and then entered the room Meng Yi found that there were more than a dozen beds neatly arranged in the room, and all the children who were sleeping on them. But now they didn't sleep, they all sat around and talked noisily.
There was also an old man with gray temples sitting on the edge of the bed, with a kind smile on his face, looking at the children on the bed with satisfaction.
The woman in black walked up to the old man, "Grandpa Li, is it a little trickster again?" ”
Grandpa Li shook his head with a smile and said, "It's okay, the little trickster has a nightmare, these little guys are comforting him." After speaking, his eyes looked at Meng Yi, "Miss Long also brought guests here today, let's go, let's change rooms and sit down." ”
After changing rooms, Grandpa Li beckoned the woman in black and Meng Yi to sit down, and then made a cup of tea for them respectively. "Miss Long came out stealthily again, and when you go back, you will be scolded by your stingy father again."
"Who said my father was stingy, but he gave me a lot of silver this time." The woman in black pouted, reached out and took out a stack of silver tickets from her arms and handed it to Grandpa Li, "Grandpa Li, you take it all, you have time to add some clothes or something to the little ones, buy more delicious food, they are all growing up now." ”
Grandpa Li was not polite, reached out and took the silver ticket in the hand of the woman in black, glanced at it casually and said, "Hey, why is your father so generous this time, he gave you so much silver at one time." ”
When the master and the woman in black heard it, Grandpa Li looked at Meng Yi with some amusement and asked, "How do you know that this is stolen by the dragon girl?" ”
"I saw her escape from the palace with her own eyes, you said that this money was not stolen, where else could it come from, could it be that the Emperor of Longshan Empire personally gave it to her?" Meng Yi pouted.
Grandpa Li smiled incomprehensibly and didn't say anything more.
