Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The man in black felt like a dumb fool. Right now he was following behind the strange woman, whose figure was swaying from one side to another. She was so weak and totally defenseless.
Why did I actually follow her?
Why!
I don’t understand...
The man in black took a bite of the white stead bread in his hand, beginning to doubt himself. He was indeed a bit hungry, then he happened to see... He swore that he really just happened to see the legendary imperial kitchen, so he thought, he should go into the kitchen to have a look... to see what kind of delicious food was stored in that room, so that he might feed himself before finishing his task.
He didn’t expect that there was no delicious food, only white stead bread.
“Okay, it’s here.” Ming Shu pointed to the palace, the wall of which she had just jumped.
The man in black quickly put on his mask and asked, “Why did you help ?”
“Isn’t it good to have others’ help?” What’s wrong with this world? I can’t even get a thank you for helping soone?
“I’m afraid you will sell out.” Just like the saying goes, if soone offers you help without gaining anything return, they’re either planning sothing evil or concealing sothing bad!
Ming Shu chuckled. “Don’t be so gloomy, young man, can’t we hold a positive life attitude? Besides, how much are you worth?”
“...”
Listen to the last sentence... You told to be positive?
“If you hesitate any longer, it will be dawn,” Ming Shu kindly reminded him.
The man in black couldn’t sense any signs of danger from Ming Shu, and he didn’t even feel any hostility. Her whole personality seed very soft, like a ball of warm cotton in tender light.
He was a little hesitant. There wouldn’t be traps waiting for him inside?
Go in, or don’t?
Fine, whatever!
He made up his mind and jumped over the palace wall.
Soon, the man in black ca out with Princess Rong Hua on his shoulder. But when he found Ming Shu still standing in the sa place, nibbling the white stead bread, he was so shocked and frightened that he almost fell off the wall.
Although the white stead bread of the imperial kitchen is more delicious than common ones, you don’t have to keep eating, okay? How hungry are you?!
“Why are you still here?” The man in black kept his voice down.
“I want to ask you, why are you kidnapping Princess Rong Hua?” This man risked his life to co into the palace and kidnap the princess. If he didn’t do it for fun, then there must be a big conspiracy behind it.
“I can’t tell you.” The man in black jumped down with Princess Rong Hua. “About what happened today, if you dare tell anyone else, I will kill you no matter where you are.”
“Co on, kid, your IQ needs to be recharged.” Ming Shu dusted off the bread crumbs on her hand and glared at the man in black. “If I tell anyone, what’s the use in killing ?”
“It seems to be...” The man in black shook his head and firmly said, “Don’t fool .”
This woman in front of him always wore a smile on her face, revealing harmlessness to any creature, which would easily lower others’ defenses.
“Tell , why do you want her? Rest assured, I promise I won’t tell anyone.”
“What if I don’t tell you?”
Ming Shu shrugged. “Then I can only help you kill Princess Rong Hua or offer you to the guards and get my reward. Which one do you like better?”
“...” What the hell? Does this kind of thing even exist?
Who showed the way for just now!
I knew this woman was not kind.
“Look at your weak woman’s body, do you think you can beat ?” He was very confident about his martial arts, or it wouldn’t be him to sneak in the palace today to steal people—ah, pah, kidnap people.
This woman walked like a weak chicken, and he could tell she didn’t know any martial arts at first glance, otherwise he would have already killed her.
“Well, indeed I can’t, but...” Ming Shu smiled. “They can.”
“What...”
Ming Shu waved her hand and several dark figures appeared in the dark. These people were the ones who were sent by the master to protect her after the last ti she encountered an assassin.
The man in black wanted to cry. He was here just to kidnap a person, why did he inexplicably provoke a strange woman?
“Who are you?”
“That’s not important, I just want to know why you’re stealing her. Tell , and I will let you go. I’ll send you out for free.” Ming Shu winked at the man in black. “It’s good for you.”
“How would I know...”
“Do you have any other choices?”
“...”
The black shadows over there were standing in silence. He couldn’t feel any breath from them. These people... He couldn’t predict their strength, but they could quietly appear... which ant their strength couldn’t be underestimated.
“If I tell you, you promise you won’t tell others, and send out of here?” the man in black asked with vigilance.
“Yes.” Ming Shu nodded.
“Okay.” Anyway, his job was to kidnap soone; they didn’t say he must keep it secret. “I co here to steal... to kidnap the princess, for the reward, and the rest I don’t know.”
“Guard...” Ming Shu pretended to shout.
“Hey, okay, okay, I haven’t finished, you you you, don’t shout!” the man in black interrupted Ming Shu nervously.
Ming Shu signaled for him to continue.
The man in black hesitated for a mont. “This is sothing I heard from others in secret, and I can’t guarantee it’s true, so... don’t bla if I’m wrong,” he reminded Ming Shu first, and after Ming Shu nodded, he continued: “Kidnapping Princess Rong Hua is to fra the royal princess of Heavenly Temple.”
Fra... the royal princess of Heavenly Temple...
The royal princess = Shen Ci.
Shen Ci =
Soone wants to fra ?
“Why?” Last ti was an assassination, which failed, and now it’s framing? This soone really hated the royal princess and wanted her dead.
“How should I know, I just do this for money,” the man in black said, “but I guess it should be related to the current situation. I heard His Highness King Huai has returned to the capital city. A good show is about to play. And that royal princess is also unlucky, born in the wrong ti. You see, the current situation...”
Suddenly the man felt he seed to have spoken too much, so he rigidly shifted the topic. “This is all I know, can I go now?”
“Of course.” Ming Shu waved her hand.
The man in black was relieved, and he quickly left this dangerous place with the fainted Princess Rong Hua. He didn’t dare let her send him off. If she sent him to another, even more dangerous place, he wouldn’t know about it!
“Your Royal Highness, we just let him go?” one protector ca forward and asked.
Ming Shu touched her chin and was silent for a mont. “You go in to check if there is any evidence framing , and send two people to follow him. Find out who he will give Rong Hua to.”
It’s really a windfall tonight.
Taking the orders, the man disappeared in a flash, and the distant people also slid into the darkness. The little beastie poked its head out from a tuft of grass.
Hey hey hey, soone is framing you.
“That makes it a little fun.”
The little beastie struggled out of the grass with its short legs, shaking its coat.
Fun for what? You are a weak chicken in this world, be careful and don’t kill yourself.
“Well, I have you.” Ming Shu bent over and picked up the little beastie. “You will protect , right?”
Who will protect you, I’m not gonna protect you, you only know how to abuse all day, humph.
Ming Shu just smiled and pressed on its head.
The latter huffed . Look at what you are doing! And you want to protect you? Keep dreaming!
Ah, ah, ahhhhh, let go of !
My head is broken.
“Catch the assassin—”
“Assassin, assassin, guards!”
Suddenly loud shouting ca from the distance, followed by countless torches.
Ming Shu shook her head and sighed. That stupid thief, which fool sent him off?
Later, Ming Shu knew why that stupid thief was found. His Qing Kung and martial arts were good. He was found because he wasn’t familiar with the palace’s routes, but he was not caught in the end.
Because of the assassin incident, the entire palace was closed off, and the royal guards began to search from one palace to another.
