Chapter 46: High Standards of Human Traffickers
"Do you think there's something wrong with the city lord?" Ziyi didn't keep up with Mo Qingxi's thinking for a while, but he still reacted after a while.
"That's not true, but it's not a trivial thing for anyone to be an official, especially the kind of official who holds a lot of power. Mo Qingxi said lightly.
Ziyi: "......" Ding'an Mansion seems to be the official who holds a lot of power in the mouth of the young lady.
"So?" Ziyi didn't think that this young lady was a person who liked to talk nonsense.
"Since he's holding a banquet here, why don't I go to the City Lord's Mansion for a stroll? Speaking of which, I've never seen what the City Lord's Mansion is like!" Mo Qingxi said with great interest.
Ziyi's intuition is that this person who doesn't think it's a big deal to see the excitement and is lawless, is really not suitable to go to the city lord's mansion, so he couldn't help but persuade: "Well, in fact, the city lord's mansion is not much different from the Ding'an Palace, or let's go back to the inn as soon as possible to rest." ”
"Ziyi, with your intelligence, you already know the background of this city lord, right?" Mo Qingxi tilted her head, otherwise she wouldn't have told her about that before.
Ziyi hurriedly shook his head, "You think highly of me, my main focus is Xuandu, Yongzhou, and the territories of the major vassal kings, and this Yishui City is not in my scope of attention." ”
"Yes. Mo Qingxi didn't believe it.
"Really. Ziyi said in the most sincere words in his life, with a pair of unadorned beautiful eyes, looking at Mo Qingxi sincerely, committed to making Mo Qingxi dispel the idea of going to the City Lord's Mansion.
Although she didn't know what the City Lord's Mansion had for the City Lord to avoid, it didn't prevent her from knowing that the Prince of Ji wanted to hide those things in the Yishui Camp less than five miles away from the City Lord's Mansion.
At this time, I didn't eat the purple rice anymore, and I deeply reviewed myself.
Why did he tell her before that the master of this Yishui camp would be the son of King Ji!
Mo Qingxi nodded, as if he believed Ziyi's words, but as for whether to go to the City Lord's Mansion or not, he didn't show any attitude.
made the purple clothes go up and down, and the appetite for eating was gone, but Mo Qingxi had a big appetite and ate a lot.
Ziyi wanted to cry without tears in her heart, she wanted to apply to the second son not to serve this ancestor anymore, although she was only a twelve-year-old girl, but it was not easy to deal with the twenty-year-old second son.
After eating, Mo Qingxi and Ziyi didn't stay here anymore, after all, they couldn't see the specific situation of the marriage Xiaozhu here.
However, apart from the fact that they came here to surprise her, Mo Qingxi was not very interested.
Although this Yishui City is not as prosperous and lively as Yongzhou, it is not particularly far from Xuandu, and there is a canal through it, and it also has the largest wharf in Jiuxuan Country.
It is said that this canal connects to the West Sea beyond the mainland, and from time to time foreign merchants come here to do business, so there are really a lot of rare treasures and strange gadgets here.
Mo Qingxi was simply dazzled, the crystal clear glass cup, the white and heavy ivory, and most importantly, she also saw the pocket watch.
It's just that the workmanship is rough, and it can't be compared with the modern pocket watch at all.
But Mo Qingxi still bought one, because she was not used to the twelve o'clock clock time here until now, with this, it would be much more convenient for her to see the time.
Walking around, it seems that it is dusk, but there are still many vendors and shops that have not yet closed, so it can be seen that it is also lively at night.
"Miss, it's getting late, we should go back. The purple clothes with things hanging on his body, looking at the sun that was about to set in the west, and the lanterns that began to light everywhere on the road, helplessly reminded the interested Moqingxi Road.
Mo Qingxi, who was watching things at the stall, looked up unsatisfied, only to find that time had passed so quickly, very happy, and responded with a smile: "Okay, let's go back." ”
agreed so happily that Ziyi was a little hesitant.
However, it would be nice to be willing to go back.
Mo Qingxi got up, shook the folding fan in his hand, turned around and walked in the direction of the inn.
There was a lady in front of her who seemed to have taken a fancy to something, and was bargaining with the vendor or saying something. And her son was standing on her lap, with a pink little tongue, licking the sugar gourd one by one, as if he was reluctant to eat it all at once.
Looking at their clothes, you can know that it must be the little son of which family, who has never eaten sugar gourd, it is really pitiful!
Before Mo Qingxi could finish sighing in his heart, a black shadow flashed, and the child who was originally standing next to the woman was gone, leaving only a string of sugar gourds on the ground.
"Uh, Ziyi, are the standards of human traffickers so high now?" Mo Qingxi was dumbfounded, if she hadn't been looking at the child just now, I was afraid that she wouldn't have found out how the child didn't have it at all.
The woman was still talking to the vendor, not realizing that her child was gone.
"Ziyi, don't you chase after it yet!" Mo Qingxi turned his head and saw that Ziyi was still beside him, and couldn't help frowning.
"The subordinates must protect the childe. Seeing the child being taken away, Ziyi was not moved at all.
"I don't need your protection, you hurry up and chase her!" Mo Qingxi turned around and glared at her, folding the fan, and his fingertips glowed with a faint light.
Ziyi suddenly remembered Mo Qingxi's methods of dealing with those people in the morning, and was silent.
Immediately piled things at Mo Qingxi's feet and left in a flash.
Looking at the body, it is stronger than the person just now, and it should be able to catch up.
Mo Qingxi thought so, suddenly squatted down, and quietly put the things on the ground into the silk cloud bracelet.
Fortunately, there are a lot of people here, she is so small, and she moves so fast, she is not noticeable at all.
With the purple clothes here, that child should be able to get it back smoothly.
Anyway, if you have nothing to do, go to the city lord's mansion to slip around.
Originally, she was thinking of taking the purple clothes back to change into night clothes and then go again, but the silk cloud bracelet itself was there, and now she didn't have to bother going back.
Mo Qingxi leisurely shook the folding fan, asked a kind lady, knew the location of the city lord's mansion, and did not waste time, and went straight there.
Looking at the tall city wall, a foot high red lacquer gate, Mo Qingxi couldn't help but slander in her heart, Ziyi was lying to her at all, where is this the same as Ding'an Palace, at least the gate of Ding'an Palace's Mansion is not as tall and domineering as this City Lord's Mansion.
"Little ...... Childe, why are you here?"
Seeing Mo Qingxi, who was dressed in night clothes, and the face towel in his hand that he hadn't had time to tie, the corners of Ziyi's eyes twitched fiercely, it turned out that the young lady never gave up coming to the City Lord's Mansion.
"Ziyi, why are you here? Didn't you go after the trafficker who grabbed the child?, could it be that you have already been caught and sent back?" Mo Qingxi looked at Ziyi who shouldn't have appeared here and asked in surprise.
