Chapter 147: Traveling through the Prince's Mansion 26
The little girl seemed to be furious, her eyes were blazing with fire, and her light-colored pupils were full of herself. Chu Yansheng lowered his head and saw a small, upturned-toe shoe stepping on his foot.
The colorful thread embroidered a phoenix with a long tail, chasing the round oriental pearl embedded in the toe of the shoe. The county lady seemed to like pearls very much.
Chu Yansheng realized that he had been staring at the little girl's shoes for too long and felt a little uncomfortable. He wanted to withdraw his foot, but he was worried that the hot-tempered little county lady would be knocked down by him.
I had no choice but to look away and let her step on me.
Anyway, she is small and weak, so it doesn't hurt at all when she is stepped on.
"You want to use my pearls to help the little beggar? I didn't know that Master Chu could be so shameless! You are only treating the symptoms but not the root cause! Today, I am going to teach you a lesson, telling you what it means to cut off the firewood from under the cauldron and what it means to shoot the horse first before shooting the man."
Gu Li didn't expect that even though she was so fierce, the other party would be distracted in front of her! She crushed him hard, "No thanks! Goodbye!"
Gu Li retracted her foot and turned around to get on the carriage, but Zhao Qing had gone to the military headquarters and there was no one to drive the carriage. Gu Li realized belatedly that even if she hid in the carriage, she would not be able to leave quickly.
Stepping on someone's foot was an impulsive act on her part. Although she did not regret it, if this person got angry and wanted to attack her, she seemed to have no ability to resist.
In terms of their status, she didn't seem to be higher than him.
Without caring about anything else, Gu Li turned around and walked quickly to the other end of the alley with Bai Shuang.
There were footsteps coming from behind, and Chu Yansheng finally caught up. Gu Li clenched her fists, and if she couldn't do it, she would fight him!
At this time, two hiding figures appeared at the entrance of the alley ahead and looked over here. Gu Li squinted her eyes to look.
Before she could see clearly, a person jumped out from behind her and ran straight towards the two short figures at the entrance of the alley.
"They are the two half-grown children who are cooperating with the little beggar!" Gu Li recognized them and chased after them by lifting her skirt, "Bai Shuang, hurry up!"
The elder and second brothers mentioned by the little beggar should have gone from being victims to accomplices of the beggar's adoptive father.
They helped the little beggar to cover up and ran away, but the little beggar did not appear. They did not see the little beggar being caught by Chu Yansheng, nor did they know that the little beggar had been sent to the military headquarters, so they returned to look for the little beggar.
Judging from the time, Zhao Qing and the others haven't arrived at Bingmasi yet. We can't let these two kids go back to tip off the enemy. It will be troublesome if that damn godfather really escapes.
That kind of scumbag will continue to do his old business if he moves to another place, and then a new batch of children will suffer.
Who knows, he will definitely come back to seek revenge on the little beggar. Wouldn't that mean what Chu Yansheng said before would come true?
Perhaps Chu Yansheng also thought of this, and in the blink of an eye, he chased out of the alley.
Gu Li used all her strength to chase after him, and even Bai Shuang couldn't catch up with her.
The winding alley became more and more remote and complicated. After turning into another short alley, Gu Li lost Chu Yansheng.
Gu Li gasped, threw away the long skirt that was holding her back, supported her knees with her hands, and looked around.
It was not yet time for dinner, and there were almost no people in the nearby residential alleys. Even Bai Shuang had disappeared.
Gu Li swallowed, trying to soothe her burning throat.
When she reached the end of the short alley, she found it was a dead end blocked by debris, so she went back and chose a new alley to look for it.
The alley was very narrow, and the small doors of the two houses opposite each other were very close to each other, with just enough width for two people to squeeze through.
The alley is deep.
Gu Li stood in the middle of the alley for a while, but didn't hear anything special, so she didn't plan to go in.
She cherishes her life very much.
It is better to leave professional matters to professionals.
Just as he was about to turn around, a small door of a nearby house opened from the inside, and the first thing that came out was a wooden barrel and a shoulder pole.
Then a middle-aged man wearing a tattered bamboo hat came out carrying two wooden barrels. He was stunned for a moment when he saw Gu Li in the alley, as if he did not expect to see a single lady in luxurious clothes here, but he quickly turned around and closed the door.
"Excuse me, I seem to be lost. How can I get to the streets outside?" Gu Li asked.
The middle-aged man locked the small door, pointed to the end of the alley, and said, "Go straight ahead and turn left."
Gu Li turned her head and looked towards the deep alley, and thanked him again, "Thank you, uncle."
The man remained silent, picked up the barrel and walked in the opposite direction.
The alley was very narrow and the man was carrying a slop bucket, so Gu Li could only stand against the wall and let him go first.
Gu Li brushed past the stinking swill bucket and turned around to run deeper into the alley. Fortunately, there was no sound of footsteps following him.
At the end of the alley is a very high wall, which blocks the sunlight in the alley, making the alley look very deep and dark.
To her surprise, this was not a dead end, but a narrow alley on each side.
Not long after turning left, Gu Li heard loud voices outside and the sound of heavy footsteps.
The sounds outside became clearer and clearer, and the bright light illuminated the entire alley.
Gu Li saw soldiers in uniform running past the entrance of the alley, as well as the anxious little Zhao Qing and Bai Shuang wiping her tears.
Gu Li shouted: "Bai Shuang, Bai Shuang, I'm here!"
Bai Shuang, who had already run past, quickly turned back and saw the lady in the alley. She ran towards Gu Li crying with joy.
"Miss, where have you been? You really scared me to death. Miss, are you okay?"
"I'm fine!" She was so absorbed in the pursuit that she didn't realize that she would be in any danger if she was alone. Now she realized that if the middle-aged man she just met in the alley had any bad intentions, then she, a weak woman, would be helpless.
Gu Lihou wiped away the sweat that had flowed to the corners of her eyes in fear. In fact, she was still afraid.
"I, I was just in a hurry to catch up with Master Chu, but I lost him halfway."
Bai Shuang was stunned, "But Master Chu is also looking for you with us!"
Chu Yansheng ran out from some alley and headed straight towards Gu Li with an indescribably cold expression.
"Where have you been?"
Gu Li was shocked by the inexplicable coldness emanating from him and forgot to argue, "I was following you, but I lost track of you when I wasn't paying attention. Did you catch up with those two kids?"
Chu Yan felt a surge of evil energy and didn't know how to vent it. "You think you can catch up with me? You-----"
"Miss, why is your purse missing again?" Bai Shuang suddenly shouted.
After the lady's purse was found, she helped her hang it back around her waist, and she even tied a very secure knot.
Gu Li looked down and saw that, sure enough, the small purse trimmed with pearls had disappeared again.
