Chapter 372: Latent

After several days of dark clouds, the sky seemed to have reached fullness, and on the day of the festival to the sky, it was drizzling in Zhengtian City.

Xiao Xiaoqi did not delay his plan because of this, and was leaving Xinghualou with Xueying at this time.

As soon as he stepped out of Xinghua Building, before Xiao Xiaoqi could speak, Xue Ying noticed something, "Hey, little girl, it seems that some people are following us." ”

Xiao Xiaoqi's face did not change in the slightest, and his footsteps did not stop, but he already knew what Xue Ying said, "I already knew, these people have been eyeing me since last night, at first I thought they were coming for Xinghualou, but now it seems that they should be targeting me." ”

Xue Ying squinted and glanced back, "Do you want this seat to help you get these ass worms?"

Xiao Xiaoqi shook his head slightly, "There is no need to conflict with them for the time being, it is important to do business." ”

"It's really unpleasant to be followed by them all the time!"

"It depends on whether they can keep up with it. The corners of Xiao Xiaoqi's mouth curled slightly.

Then the next moment, he chose an alley and turned in......

In the back, the group of people who followed Xiao Xiaoqi were several men in plain clothes, who were Zheng Tianwei!

Xing Kui saw Xiao Xiaoqi turn into the alley, and hurriedly followed, today is very important to Zhengtian City, but you can't lose anyone.

He followed the alley with the others, but as soon as he turned a corner, Xiao Xiaoqi disappeared from their field of vision.

"Look around!" Xing Kui immediately ordered.

Several Zhengtianwei split up and searched around......

After a tea time, everyone reunited, but they shook their heads one by one, apparently to no avail.

Xing Kui frowned, obviously the person was still in sight just now, why did he turn a corner and disappear?

"It looks like we've been exposed. Xing Kui muttered to himself.

Next to him, his subordinates said, "Commander, what should we do next, the commander-in-chief is afraid that the commander will blame us......"

"What's the panic!" Xing Kui quickly calmed down, "The purpose of the traitor today is nothing more than the sacrifice to the heavens...... Go back immediately and keep an eye on the palace gate, since the darkness is not good, come to the light. ”

As he spoke, he hurriedly took the people and left, heading in the direction of the palace, intending to wait for the rabbit in the palace.

In fact, Xing Kui's decision was very correct, because Xiao Xiaoqi would go to the palace no matter what.

At this time, he was going to find Li Jiuju to meet, and then the ninth princess would take them into the palace tomorrow night.

......

About half an hour later, Xiao Xiaoqi's figure appeared at the east gate of the palace, and the east gate was the only entrance to the palace today.

At this time, the drizzle was continuous, and there was no intention of stopping, but there were many people who came here, as if no matter how heavy the rain was, it could not stop the enthusiasm of these people.

Obviously, the people who came here were all invited to participate in the ceremony, most of them were court officials and their relatives, and then there were businessmen who were dressed very decently, in short, they were all people who could be called status, and they still held invitations in their hands, which was the pass to the ceremony.

"Strange, didn't you make an appointment to meet here? Why hasn't Daju arrived yet?" Xue Ying looked around at this time, but she didn't see Li Jiuju.

Xiao Xiaoqi is also looking for Li Jiuju, it stands to reason that Li Jiuju should arrive first......

"See. Xiao Xiaoqi looked at the front right, on a lawn outside the crowd, there was a group of young people arguing about something, and Li Jiuju was among them.

Xue Ying couldn't help but be a little excited when she saw it, "Someone dares to provoke this little overlord of Daju, go, go over and take a look." ”

Needless to say, Xiao Xiaoqi is also walking over there.

Before he arrived, Xiao Xiaoqi heard a quarrel, no, it should be a mocking sound.

"You deserve a proton here, do you have an invitation?huh?" it was Qin Lei who spoke!

Qin Lei led a group of people at this time, looking at the dress, they should all be the children of some official eunuchs, presumably to participate in the ceremony of sacrificing to the sky.

A group of people surrounded Li Jiuju, and in comparison, Li Jiuju alone seemed a little weak.

After hearing Qin Lei's ridicule, Li Jiuju was not annoyed, but smiled at Qin Lei: "What's the matter?

There was a threat in his tone, and he looked at Qin Lei with fierce eyes, Qin Lei couldn't help but shrink, as if he was really a little afraid.

However, there were so many people beside Qin Lei, which suddenly gave him confidence, "It's really hard to die!"

After he finished speaking, he looked behind Li Jiuju and gave his accomplice a look.

Li Jiuju naturally noticed it, but before he could react, someone behind him suddenly pushed him, making him stumble.

Immediately afterwards, several people behind him did not stop there, and raised their feet and kicked at Li Jiuju.

Li Jiuju reacted this time, grabbed the feet of those people, and then raised his hand, but pushed those people out.

However, taking advantage of this gap, Qin Lei kicked out coldly, hitting Li Jiuju in the back and kicking him out.

"Dare to resist?" Qin Lei looked at Li Jiuju on the ground proudly, obviously, he came to find trouble on purpose, and specially called a large group of people, and if he couldn't use spiritual power, he wanted to use the number of people to suppress Li Jiuju.

Li Jiuju got up suddenly, but looked at Qin Lei with a cynical expression, "That's right, you learn smart, you know how to call people...... But I'm not afraid, come on, let's go together!"

Qin Lei suddenly became angry, "Beat him up for me, as long as you don't kill him anyway, today I want this barbarian to see, the people of Zhengtian City are not comparable to those from your wild land!"

Suddenly, a dozen or so people rushed forward, some with punches and some kicks...... Of course, they didn't use spiritual power, and under the nose of the Son of Heaven, they didn't dare to openly break the rules.

And Li Jiuju also demonstrated his title of "barbarian" at this time, and he resisted bravely in the face of more than a dozen people...... It looks like a ruffian fight.

Li Jiuju's fist and foot kung fu is naturally much stronger than Qin Lei's, but after all, his two fists are difficult to defeat his four hands, although he fought hard to injure several children of the family, but at the same time, he also suffered a lot of punches and kicks.

Of course, Li Jiuju simply relied on his own strength, and did not use his true qi, if he went all out, Qin Lei and they might not be able to beat even if they used spiritual power, but in that case, his own identity would be exposed.

Xiao Xiaoqi was standing not far away at this time, but he chose to watch from the sidelines and did not step forward to help.

Xue Ying squinted at Xiao Xiaoqi, "Why don't you go over and help?"

The corners of Xiao Xiaoqi's mouth curled slightly, and he said softly: "For Daju, this collision is at most a tickle, don't look at him being beaten quite badly, in fact, everything is under his control, and I will mess up his rhythm in the past." ”

Xue Ying couldn't help but sneer: "You scheming people can really act, those two fools are still stupid at this time, thinking that they are superior." ”

Xiao Xiaoqi laughed, and then continued to watch Li Jiuju "beaten" from the side.

There were many people next to him who saw Qin Lei and them beating Li Jiuju, but without exception, they all chose to watch coldly, mainly because Qin Lei and Li Jiuju were famous little overlords in Zhengtian City, and they were not easy to mess with, so it was wisest to choose to ignore them.

At this time, several people suddenly grabbed Li Jiuju and tied him hand and foot.

Qin Lei rushed over with a sneer, raised his hand and punched at Li Jiuju, "Stinky barbarian, I already saw that you were not pleasing to the eye!"

Li Jiuju gritted his teeth and struggled to break free, but his two hands were held by the children of other families......

Seeing that Qin Lei was about to hit Li Jiuju with a punch, but at this moment, Li Jiuju's right foot broke free and bounced up with a bang!

"Ah~" Qin Lei withdrew his fist the next moment, covering his crotch with both hands, and Li Jiuju just kicked his crotch with a kick!

The people who saw it next to him couldn't help but gasp, it hurt to look at it.

Qin Lei was so painful that his facial features were pulled together, and his feet kept kicking the ground, which showed how ruthless Li Jiuju's kick was.

"Hahaha......" Li Jiuju laughed insolently.

And Qin Lei slowed down for a while before he recovered, but there was still a cold sweat on his forehead.

He looked at Li Jiuju viciously again, "Stinky barbarian, you are looking for death!"

Li Jiuju snorted lightly, "Is a person who almost became a eunuch worthy to say such things?"

"Press him to death for me!" Qin Lei shouted.

The others didn't care about decency at this time, and hurriedly hugged Li Jiuju tightly, some holding hands and some holding feet, to ensure that Li Jiuju could no longer move.

Qin Lei raised his hand to punch, and this time, Li Jiuju failed to repeat the operation just now, and actually hit a punch.

Qin Lei was still angry, and then gave Li Jiuju several punches, and even broke the corners of Li Jiuju's mouth, oozing a trace of blood.

In the end, Qin Lei punched Li Jiuju in the abdomen, and Li Jiuju couldn't help but close his eyes in pain.

"The bones are so hard, it makes Young Master Ben's hand hurt a little...... Qin Lei shook his hand, and then patted Li Jiuju's face again, "Weren't you very arrogant just now?

Li Jiuju slowly opened his eyes at this time, and then showed a faint smile, as if mocking Qin Lei.

Qin Lei frowned, shook his hand and slapped Li Jiuju in the face.

"Don't laugh!" Qin Lei shouted pointing at Li Jiuju.

Li Jiuju still kept smiling, and even spat a mouthful of blood foam on Qin Lei.

Qin Lei glared, "Stinky barbarian!"

Then he raised his hand suddenly, ready to give Li Jiuju another slap......

Xiao Xiaoqi, who was not far away, frowned at this time, Qin Lei had gone too far to do this, he was thinking about whether to use magic to stop Qin Lei.

"Stop!" At this time, a voice suddenly came from the side, it was the ninth princess tomorrow!

Ming Bangwan should have just arrived, and she rushed straight in the direction of Li Jiuju to stop Qin Lei.

Qin Lei also aimed at Ming Bangwan out of the corner of his eyes at this time, a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes, but it quickly became firm again, today is the emperor coming, and his slap is also settled!

A loud slap rang out!

Everyone around was stunned, because the last slap did not fall on Li Jiuju's face, but the ninth princess rushed up to catch it, of course, with her face.

Li Jiuju, who was behind Ming Bangwan, reacted first, he took advantage of the stunned person who grabbed him, broke free suddenly, and then hurriedly ran to Ming Bangwan to inspect it.

"You...... Are you okay?" Li Jiuju saw the slap mark on Ming Wanwan's face, and a trace of unbearability flashed in his eyes, he wanted to touch it, but he was a little embarrassed.

Ming Wanwan directly pushed away Li Jiuju's hand, looking very bold, "I'm fine!"

Then she stopped paying attention to Li Jiuju, and turned to look at Qin Lei, "Stinky boy, you dare to beat me, do you know who I am?"

Qin Lei was still looking at his hand that had beaten Ming Wanwan, and after coming back to his senses, he felt a little weak, "Nine...... Ninth Princess, it was a misunderstanding just now. ”

"Misunderstanding? I slapped you and said it was a misunderstanding?" Ming Wanwan raised his hand as he spoke, as if he really wanted to hit Qin Lei.

Qin Lei couldn't help but take a step back, he naturally didn't want to be beaten back.

At this time, one of Qin Lei's friends approached and said in a voice that only Qin Lei could hear: "Qin Shao, don't be afraid of her, after the emperor left, the ninth princess was very unfavored, and even disliked by the saint because of her barbaric attitude, so ...... You know. ”

Qin Lei's eyes rolled, yes, an unfavored princess, what is there to be afraid of!

So he began to quibble: "Ninth Princess, you can't blame me, I was going to beat Li Manzi just now, and everyone around me can testify, and I didn't notice you coming, so I ......"

"So you want to say that I ran up to find a cigarette myself!" said Ming Wanwan, crossing his waist.

Qin Lei looked indifferent, "If you have to say that, I have no opinion." ”

"You ......" Ming Wanwan pointed at Qin Lei, she felt that she was being underestimated, "What is your name?

"I ......" Qin Lei just thought about answering, and suddenly thought of something, "Eh, princess, we know each other." ”

Ming Wanwan suddenly dodged his eyes, a little panicked.

Qin Lei looked at Ming Bangwan with interest, as if he had caught Ming Bangwan's sore spot, "Her Royal Highness the Ninth Princess?"

Ming Wanwan waved his hand at this time, "That's it, this princess has always been generous, while I haven't regretted it now, you can go, and don't trouble my little brother again!"

Obviously, the little brother in Ming Wanwan's mouth refers to Li Jiuju.

Qin Lei pursed his lips, but he didn't give up, after all, Ming Wanwan is also a princess, representing the royal family, even if he is not favored, it is also the face of the royal family.

"Then thank you for the magnanimity of the princess. Qin Lei turned around as he spoke, "Let's go, don't ruin our interest in visiting the ceremony because of a barbarian." ”

Ming Wanwan lost a breath, as if she had escaped a catastrophe, but what she didn't know was that Qin Lei had already heard about her face blindness.

But at this moment, Li Jiuju coldly shouted: "Qin Lei, do you want to leave like this?"

Qin Lei stopped, but only turned his face slightly, and didn't even turn around, "What?

Li Jiuju only said one sentence: "Apologize to Ming Wanwan!"

Qin Lei smiled disdainfully, "The princess doesn't care, what are you, a person who can only hide behind a woman, is it worthy to say such things?"

After saying this, he no longer paid attention to Li Jiuju, laughed loudly, and walked towards the gate of the palace.

Li Jiuju's eyes kept staring at Qin Lei's departing back, and even revealed a murderous aura.

At this time, one of Ming Wanwan's delicate hands raised in front of Li Jiuju, "Dog Ju, are you okay?"

Li Jiuju put away his fierce eyes at this time, and then said to Ming Wanwan with some guilt: "I'm sorry, I'm dragging you down." ”

"I'm fine!" Ming Wanwan smiled heartlessly,

The more she was like this, the more unbearable Li Jiuju became, and there was a vague feeling of distress......

"Ouch, don't look like that, I'm not used to it, it's better for you to be cynical like before. Ming Wanwan said seriously.

Li Jiuju smiled, and finally regained a little bit of his old demeanor.

"That's right. Ming Wanwan patted Li Jiuju's shoulder, "Get ready, we should go in...... By the way, what about Miss Xiao? Didn't you say she would come too?"

Li Jiuju realized it later, looked in the direction of Xiao Xiaoqi on the other side, and before he could speak, Xiao Xiaoqi had already taken the initiative to come over.

"Miss Xiao, I've kept you waiting. Li Jiuju said with a smile.

Xiao Xiaoqi nodded slightly, walked to the side and said hello, "Young Master Li, Ninth Princess, we meet again." ”

Ming Wanwan moved her nose slightly, and then she was sure, "Miss Xiao, we really have fate...... And a crow!"

Ming Wanwan noticed the snow warbler and reached out to tease it.

But the snow warbler opened her mouth and bitten, "Who is the crow?

It raised its head again, looking very proud.

Ming Wanwan smiled awkwardly: "I can still speak, but don't say it, this arrogant appearance is quite similar to a parrot I knew before." ”

Could it be that Ming Wanwan recognized the snow warbler? Xiao Xiaoqi hurriedly diverted Ming Wanwan's attention, "Ninth Princess, when are we going to go in?"

Only then did Ming Bangwan remember the matter, "Oh yes, the ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens is about to begin, I will take you into the palace, and I will take you to have a good experience." ”

So Ming Wanwan picked up one with one hand and dragged Li Jiuju and Xiao Xiaoqi to the east gate of the palace.

With the Ninth Princess as a cover, then Xiao Xiaoqi and Li Jiuju's next plan will be much smoother.

However, what Xiao Xiaoqi didn't know was that he had been targeted again, it was Xing Kui, and he found Xiao Xiaoqi!

Ming Wanwan led Xiao Xiaoqi and Li Jiuju directly to the palace, without even showing the invitation, the identity of the ninth princess was there, and no one dared to stop them.

However, halfway through, an accident still happened, and Xing Kui suddenly stopped the three of them.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness Princess, you can't take the two of them in. Xing Kui said in a righteous manner.

Ming Wanwan moved his nose at this time, and then he should have recognized Xing Kui, "Commander Xing, what do you mean?

Xing Kui glanced at Xiao Xiaoqi as if he didn't seem to be there, and then said: "Her Royal Highness the princess usually brings friends back, and the last general naturally doesn't dare to have an opinion, but today is more special, and the last general is on the mission of guarding the palace, so if there is no invitation, you can't let it go!"

Ming Wanwan glared, "According to what you say, this princess doesn't have an invitation, and she can't enter?"

Xing Kuizuo lowered his head, "How can others compare with the status of a princess, the palace is your home, you can naturally go back if you want to, but others can't." ”

"You ......" Mingwan didn't fight in one place, but he couldn't find the words to refute it for a while.

Xiao Xiaoqi and Li Jiuju glanced at each other at this time, it seemed that it was not so easy to sneak into the palace.

Li Jiuju then pretended to be a hanger, and said to Xing Kui arrogantly: "I am the son of the king of Zhennan, am I not qualified to go in to participate in the ceremony?"

"No!" Xing Kui directly refused.

At this time, Ming Bangwan played his spicy nature, pulled up Xiao Xiaoqi and Li Jiuju and dragged them in, "This princess has to bring someone in today, I see who dares to stop me!"

Xing Kui didn't expect Ming Wanwan to suddenly come to this move, and he was knocked away coldly, "Your Royal Highness the Princess, this can't be ......"

Ming Wanwan didn't listen to persuasion at all, and went inside, except for Xing Kui, but no one dared to stop her.
