This woman really is lawless.
She just said that her friend lived next door. Could it be that the Ninth Prince has returned, but if it was the Ninth Prince, how could they live in two rooms? If not, he has to report to the palace as soon as possible.
Xiao Ting sat on the edge of the bed, listening to the movement outside gradually dissipating, and then let out a sigh of relief.
"Boss, thank you!"
The boy showed his head from under the quilt, and looked at Xiao Ting gratefully.
"Stop it, don't thank me, let me ask why you assassinated the prince who crossed over? Who are you guys?"
Xiao Ting raised her hand to dig her out of the quilt, and asked directly.
Xiao Tong looked at her in astonishment, "I, I don't know what you're talking about..."
His eyes flickered, he never expected Xiao Ting to ask so directly.
"I don't know what I'm talking about. Believe it or not, if I yell now, you will immediately turn into a pile of meat sauce."
Xiao Ting never thought that this young man would respond to her like this, and she was immediately angry.
But thinking about it, she didn't know the relationship between them and the original owner at all, and they only met once at the beginning.
Now it seems that this so-called Qingcheng gang is not as simple as she thought.
"Boss, don't be angry. There is a reason why I haven't told you about this. I only found out about it recently."
"Okay, I'm not angry, then tell me in the most concise words, what's going on?"
Xiao Ting let go of him and sat back by herself.
"Boss is a long story, I have to leave here first." The search was still going on outside, and Xiao Tong was worried that those people would break in suddenly.
Xiao Ting put her legs across another chair.
"I'm not afraid. I have plenty of time. If you don't make it clear today, don't even think about walking out of this door."
What an international joke.
A group of beggars she thought dared to assassinate the prince of Yue.
"Boss, I really can't say anything about this."
Xiao Tong looked at her in embarrassment.
"Well, let's go on like this. Even if they break in, I won't be afraid. Who would dare to do anything to me, the Ninth Princess of my mighty empire? But you, or the people behind you may not be sure."
Of course Xiao Ting didn't want to scare him by saying this.
Xiao Tong understands that just now Xiao Ting showed her face outside, someone has already recognized her, someone will come to see Xiao Ting soon, then...
"Young master is with us, I can take you there."
"Who are you talking about?" Xiao Ting stood up abruptly.
"Your brother, Xiao Xin."
"You caught him and wanted to threaten me?"
Xiao Ting shook her head after saying this, it was impossible.
"Boss, don't get me wrong, we won't hurt him."
"Where is he now? Take me there."
Xiao Ting took Xiao Tong and walked out.
"Boss, don't worry, there are still people outside."
But Xiao Ting couldn't control so much, and finally the two discussed it and slipped out of the window.
Well, the most important thing is that no one dared to stop Xiao Ting after what happened just now.
They came all the way to the location of the Qingcheng Gang.
I haven't seen the Qingcheng Gang for several years, and it seems that it has developed into the largest gang in the empire.
Xiao Tong took Xiao Ting directly to the innermost part.
There were dozens of people in the room, who were discussing things, and when they saw them, they all stood up vigilantly, with inexplicable surprises on their faces.
"Where is Xiao Xin? Where is he?"
After entering the house, Xiao Ting scanned them one by one, but she didn't see the person she was looking for, so she asked Xiao Tong directly.
"who are you?"
Someone immediately sent a message to the outside world.
But Xiao Tong stopped him.
Before Xiao Tong could explain, an old man stood up next to him, and came up to pay respects, "Cao Min pays homage to the Ninth Concubine."
Everyone else looked at Xiao Ting blankly.
Xiao Ting glanced at the old man and felt familiar, but couldn't remember where she saw him.
"Okay, get up, I'll ask you where Xiao Xin is, I want to see him."
"It's only natural for the ninth princess to see her younger brother, but now the young master has something to do and he's not here, so I ask the princess to wait for a while."
He spoke clearly and without fear, Xiao Ting glanced at him a few more times, and finally remembered who this person was.
When she came to the Qingcheng Gang, among these people, there was an old man who called himself Mr. Liu, and he was very clear about the underground forces here. He introduced the things about the Ye Family Gang and followed them all the way.
"Who do you say is the young master of your family?" This is the focus of Xiao Ting's attention. This Mr. Liu is very particular about his speech.
The words refer to Xiao Xin.
But this is absolutely impossible.
"The ten sons of the Xiao family are our young master."
Mr. Liu asked these people to go out first, and he took Xiao Ting to another place alone.
Xiao Ting also understands that there seems to be a story in the middle.
Mr. Liu invited her to sit down, and the people inside offered tea and all retreated out.
The first thing he said was, "I can't tell you the true identity of the young master, I can only say that he is not the son of the Xiao family, and we will not harm him."
Xiao Ting poured tea into her mouth, but she couldn't hold her hand steady, and almost splashed herself in the face.
"You mean that Seventh Aunt Hong Xing cheated, and Xiao Xin is her child with someone else?"
Are you kidding me, her cheap dad wouldn't know about such a big matter.
Or is it that her father is really so confused that he only loves beauties and doesn't even care if he is his son
No matter how Xiao Ting thought about it, it was impossible.
"I'm afraid only Master Xiao and Seventh Aunt understand the whole story."
Mr. Liu frowned, obviously he didn't know what was going on.
"Then how do you judge that Xiao Ten is the so-called young master you are looking for."
Xiao Ting thought it was ridiculous, but she had watched Xiao Shi grow up.
"We can't get it wrong."
Mr. Liu only said such a sentence, obviously he didn't want to talk about the whole story.
Xiao Ting didn't make things difficult for him either.
"Since you only want to talk so much, what do you want to do by bringing this concubine here alone?"
Xiao Ting looked around and found that this is a closed space, except for the door, there is not even a window.
Moreover, the few people who served tea and water just now walked quietly. They were obviously peerless masters, and they were not talents that a so-called underground snobbery could have.
"Dare to ask Wangfei, where is the Ninth Prince now?"
Xiao Ting sneered.
"What will you do if I say I don't know?"
These people made it clear that the visitors were not good.
Why did she have a feeling that the so-called assassination of the prince just now was a trap, and Xiao Tong's appearance was also to lure her here.
But is it possible
If they wanted to take her away, it would be easy for these people to take her away.
"Princess doesn't have to be so hostile to us, maybe we will become a family in the future!"
"A group of rats who hide their heads and show their tails are worthy of being compared with this concubine. If it weren't for Xiao Shi's sake, believe it or not, I would burn this place down."
Sitting there, Xiao Ting stretched out her hand and took a picture of the place where there was light.
The meaning is obvious.
At the same time, she is also testing whether these people know her details well.
Sure enough, Mr. Liu's expression froze slightly.
"It seems that the Ninth Princess is very hostile to us. In fact, there is no need to be so. I invite you to come here this time. I just want to clarify something."
Xiao Ting withdrew her hand, picked up the teacup on the table again, and shook it in front of her eyes twice.
Then gulp it down.
"Speak quickly if you have something to say, this concubine hates people who beat around the bush like you the most."
Since he was not a fellow traveler, Xiao Ting stopped being polite to him.
"We invited you here, just to find out where the Ninth Prince is now?"
Xiao Ting's thoughts were flying wildly, and she couldn't understand what they meant for a while, but he knew that there were too many people looking for Chu Li right now.
Not only these people, I am afraid that all the people in the five countries and ten places are looking for him, including Qian Bai who has been by her side all the time.
I'm afraid that the news of that incident was leaked out, it must be someone from Yandi who did it.
"Well, for the sake of your candor, this concubine is kind enough to tell you that in fact, the prince and I separated a long time ago. He returned to the imperial city, but there has been no news of him. I just came back from Li city, and I will come to find him."
Speaking of this, Xiao Ting sighed lightly, and then looked up at Mr. Liu expectantly.
"Do you have any news about him, or as long as there is a trace of clues, please tell me."
"this… "
Mr. Liu never expected that the Ninth Princess would change his face so quickly.
One moment they were on the verge of burning down their place, but the next moment they cooperated with him again.
She really lived up to what the world had said about her.
However, Mr. Liu also knew that Xiao Ting had always been a very generous person who didn't care about so much, so it would be smoother and more reassuring to cooperate with her.
"You're right. The Ninth Prince did sneak back to the imperial city. Some of us saw him."
The Qingcheng Gang has already returned to the number one force in the Imperial City.
The eyeliner was all over the imperial city, so even though the Ninth Prince had concealed his whereabouts, he was still discovered by them.
"Where was he last seen?"
Why did Xiao Ting not believe it
The whereabouts of the Ninth Prince will be known to them casually, how is that person's martial arts? Although she can't know for sure, but such a group of rabble will find him
Xiao Ting is skeptical.
"It is said that after returning, he went straight to the palace and did not hide his whereabouts at all."
Mr. Liu directly answered Xiao Ting's doubts, and sure enough, the Ninth Prince did not hide his whereabouts at all.
"Sure enough."
Mr Liu sighed, "No one has seen him since then."
"You want to tell me that her disappearance has something to do with those people in the palace?"
Xiao Ting's mind was full of thoughts. She had told him about these things a long time ago, but now she learned from Mr. Liu's mouth that she was even more certain.
In this way, Qian Kai did not lie to her.
"Presumably the princess also knows that after the return of the empress dowager, great changes have taken place in the palace."
Xiao Ting was noncommittal.
He didn't continue his topic, but looked at Mr. Liu with a half-smile and asked, "I'm curious, who are you who are interested in the affairs of the palace?"
"Well, I'm not really asking these things to get to the bottom of it, just to know who I'm working with?"
