The two red lanterns hanging high on the eaves of the mansion gate faced the silver moon in the air.
After leaving the sedan chair, the steward hurriedly carried the lantern and stepped down the steps to raise the curtain for him. Mo Cangjing bowed out of the sedan chair. Several minions led the way and a group of guards cautiously draped behind him and entered the mansion.
"Have the prince ever used dinner? If you don't have a slave, go to Zhang Luo immediately!" the steward asked respectfully.
"No need! Just used it with the emperor!" Mo Cangjing waved faintly as he walked forward. After a pause, he turned around and looked at the housekeeper as if he suddenly remembered something. Huh? It should be the time for him to have troubles now." During the time he was with him, he was already very aware of Zi Li's need for food. Even if he was 70% full for dinner, he would still be hungry at night. Growl.
"this;"
Mo Cangjing frowned, and glanced unhappily at the gentleman, "Could it be that I forgot?"
"No, no, even if the minion forgets to eat, he will never forget your instructions, the lord! It's just that; Young Master Zili has already left!" After the steward finished speaking, he raised his eyes to see Mo Cangjing's suddenly angrily expression, and his heart was secretly alive. shock.
;
"Boss Su, we, are we really going to leave?" The brothers looked at the burly guards in front of them, then looked back at Zili hesitantly and asked.
"Yeah." Zi Li nodded affirmatively, and then pushed them into the carriage.
The two brothers sticked their heads out of the car window again, looked at him pitifully and expectantly, and said, "Boss Su, come with us! Let's go back to Chujing together!"
Zili's mouth twitched and walked over and flicked their foreheads and said, "My head is pretty funny! I finally ran out, and now I am going back, I am sick! Let's go, so much nonsense! Keep the letter, Also, remember that you have vowed not to tell others my whereabouts, if not;"
"I know!" the brothers replied dissatisfied.
Zi Li nodded in satisfaction, and made a start gesture to the guard. The wheels turned grunting, carrying the attack and defense, who was still craned his neck and looked back, drifting away!
Sure enough, the world is a feast for all! Zili waved his hand slightly sadly, although the other party probably didn't understand his body language at all.
"Well, I finally got rid of these two annoying little ghosts!" Zili calmed herself, "Where are we going now?"
"Cuckoo" Zili Mo Mo started to protest with his stomach, "Hey, I would have finished dinner before leaving!"
Lifting his eyes and looking around, he saw a big "wine" floating on a Zhu building in front of him. Zi Li walked quickly towards the destination. The restaurant's business was very prosperous. The shop Xiaoer was busy shuttled in the meantime. Zi Li waited for almost half a time before finding a place to sit down and ordering meat and vegetables again. Adding a plate of borscht, the hungry Zili can finally start.
"Suck" just raised his hand and found that his right wrist was severely swollen, "Die quack doctor, will you take the wrist, mother, it hurts me!" As soon as he came out of the palace, he found a doctor to connect his wrist. , Although Zili screamed in pain at the time, he "slapped" it in the blink of an eye. Seeing his actions are neat, but who knows the consequences are like this!
Zili glanced at the hand swollen into a pig's hoof, cursing the quack and lake doctor, while worrying about whether his hand would be lost due to it. But these are not the most important right now. The most important thing is how he should eat with chopsticks. After trying several times with his left hand, he can't even pick up the root vegetables. When he was angry, suddenly a spoon was passed to him.
Zili looked up in surprise, and saw a man wearing a black gauze hat on the opposite side of the table handing a clean spoon to herself. He couldn't see the other person's expression through the black gauze face, but Zili could feel that he was nothing. Malicious look.
"Thank you!" said thankfully and accepted it.
It was already dark when I came out of the meal, and Zi Li suddenly cried out strangely, "Well, will the city gate be closed by this time?"
An old man who had passed by gave Zili a weird look and said, "It's dark, and the city gate has been closed long ago!"
Alas, it seems that I won't be able to leave tonight! Let's quickly find an inn to stay for one night and then leave tomorrow!
"Hey, does the guest officer go to the top or stay in the shop?"
"Stay, one
Wing room! "
"Okay! The guest officer, please post a note here, the deposit is fifty cents!"
Zili Mo Mo found that the last cash had already been paid for the meal, "The shopkeeper, I don't have cash on my body now, can I use this pearl instead?"
"No money? If you don't have money, don't learn to stay in the shop! Who knows if your beads are real!" When the shopkeeper heard Zili's words, the smile on his face immediately turned into disgust and impatience. Recently, there has been such a group of swindlers in the capital who deliberately pretended to be wealthy princes in order to replace silver. Not only were the things fake, they also defrauded the real silver from their owners. "Go go, don't disturb me doing business here. If you don't go, I have to report to the official."
"No, no, why are you so fierce!" Zi Li whispered, curling her lips.
It was completely dark, and the shops along the street closed one after another. Zili wandered down the street dejectedly, where will he stay overnight tonight? It was impossible to go back to Mo Cangjing, mainly because he couldn't hold his face! I will leave suddenly today, but there is actually a little bit of anger. He still felt sad and upset when he found that Mo Cangjing, who had always been gentle and caring for him, treated himself like that.
Zili walked forward while thinking, but didn't pay attention to the wall of people standing in front of him.
"Ouch!" It wasn't until the dull hit that he found that a big man with a flowy face was intercepting the road in an unkind manner, and a few equally unkind rascals were surrounded behind him.
Chapter Thirty Two
Zili immediately stepped back vigilantly, staring at the ruffian who had quickly besieged him around him and said, "What are you doing? You want to rob? Tell you, my things are not so easy to grab!"
"Oh, listen, uncle, I haven't spoken yet, this kid is clamoring!" The leader said with a smile. The others also laughed sarcastically, and slowly gathered the circle together.
In fact, she was terribly scared in her heart, but Zi Li had to make a calm expression. Haven’t safety education classes been taught? When encountering gangsters, keep calm and not expose your weaknesses. If you find a gap, immediately break through or ask for help!
"Hehe, do you think you can escape?" The ruffians smiled evilly, "If you are more acquainted, hand over all your money, otherwise you will suffer!"
Pressing the burden on the pounding heart, his eyes glanced around, all the way of retreat has been blocked by them, and it is impossible to break through. There are no passers-by because of the black lights and fire. I don't know if it is effective to call for help, but it is better to call than not to call!
Thinking of this, Zili immediately yelled in her throat: "Ah, help, robbery, murder;" The voice spread quite far in this quiet night, but the answer was a few "Wow. "The dog barks.
Hearing his call, the ruffians immediately grabbed Zili's right wrist and dragged him forward, then covered his mouth and said viciously in his ear: "You guys are not honest, be careful, I will twist him off. Your neck. Drag him into the alley."
When the red and swollen wrist was caught in this way, the sharp pain immediately made Zili's scalp numb. "Boom" hit the back of the wall and made Zili's eyes dizzy.
Pulling away the package that Zili was protecting in his arms, the ruffians still raised their feet and slapped on Zili's body, screaming: "I just wanted to get the money. Who knows that your kid is going to beg, if that's the case, Hey, let's practice boxing today, uncle!"
"Well—" Zi Li hugged his head and curled up in pain. A tick in his abdomen made him cramp all over! The constant kicking and heavy blows on his body gave him no space to stand up and resist. Just when Zili felt that she was about to be beaten to death, she suddenly heard the screams of gangsters from around.
He raised his head strangely and found that the gangster who was rampant the previous second was rolling on the ground like he was suffering from purgatory. A tall man with a black gauze hat stood motionless.
Tremblingly watching the man walk step by step
