Squeezing in the crowd, Duo Bao looked at the streets and alleys of Luoma Town, where there were thirty-six rows of meat shops, jewelry, porcelain, silk, fresh fish, bamboo, rice wine, soup shops, restaurants, ironware, sauces, embroidery workshops, and so on. He was so happy that he shouted and shouted. He turned around and shouted to Lanyue, who was still walking slowly behind him,"Sister Lan, come over and take a look. There are so many good things here!”
Lan Yue panted as she jogged to catch up with Duo Bao." My good master, can you walk slower? There are many people here, and it's our first time here. If something goes wrong, how am I supposed to explain it to the Central Hall?”
Duo Bao giggled, held Lan Yue's hand, and said affectionately,""What does it matter? Anyways, Ma isn't here, so he won't scold you. Besides, I know martial arts, and I'm the Emperor's first rank guard, remember? So Sister Lan, you can rest assured that nothing will happen! Besides, what could be wrong with shopping?”
"But it's always good to be careful. Moreover, I heard that Luoma Town hasn't been peaceful recently. There are often water thieves coming ashore to rob things. My good Ge Ge, you're a golden branch and jade leaf. If anything happens to you, not only the main hall, but even the emperor, empress, and empress dowager will be worried! This servant is begging you! Let's go back to the courier station, okay?”Lan Yue pleaded in a low voice.
It turned out that this little girl named Duo Bao was the Emperor's favorite!! She was the youngest daughter of the Prime Minister of the Military and Political Affairs Office, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, and the Minister of Rites, Yuyun.
Because Yuyun married the precious daughter of Zhejiang governor Zhu Zhen!! Shaoxing Sanbao Zhu Xiaoxiao as his wife, and Zhu Xiaoxiao let Qianlong recognize her as a daughter, granted the title of Princess Heshuo, so Yuyun's children were knighted as soon as they were born, especially his daughter Duobao, who was loved by Qianlong and Prince De. Every two or three days, he ordered people to bring her into the palace to play.
After Qianlong's Dragon Rider returned to the Heavens and Yuqi ascended the throne, she was granted the title of Princess Consort and was specially allowed to live in the palace for a long time. Thus, Duobao grew up in the palace.
Not only that, but Yuqi also specially allowed Duo Bao to study in Yuqing Palace with the other brothers and ladies. He even allowed her to practice martial arts and swords with the other brothers. In the end, she even became a first-grade imperial guard. It couldn't be helped. Who taught her to have a mother who liked to fight for injustice and was given the "Emperor's Sword" by Qianlong!
Therefore, not only did Duo Bao have a father who was talented in both civil and military affairs, a mother who was disobedient and immoral, shuttling through the streets and alleys all day long, pleading for the grievances of the common people, Zhu Xiaoxiao, and the number one backer of Yuqi, plus the Empress Dowager and Empress Su Panpan, as well as the love of the various brothers, it was no wonder that she wanted to look down on the world and not take the world seriously!
This time, Duo Bao accompanied Yuqi's eldest son, De Yan, to inspect the river works in Jiangsu, and Luoma Town was the most important stop in the river works.
Luoma Town was an old town with a history of more than 700 years. However, since the Northern Song Dynasty, the river had moved southward and the river had poured into Luoma Lake. This was the beginning of the days when Luoma Town fought against the river. This was because every time the flood season came, the Luoma Lake water would pour into the river, and the north-south passage would be cut off. It was often necessary to wait until the flood season was over and the river water receded before it could be reopened. Therefore, merchants of all sizes gathered in Luoma Town during the flood season. Over time, it actually became a prosperous town, making the people of Luoma Town not know whether to thank the river or hate the river.
However, the people of Luoma Town weren't worried about the river because there would be a flood season before the river raged. However, the pirates on Luoma Lake were different.
The pirates didn't care about the weather. They came whenever they wanted. They didn't have a flood season. When the river didn't flood, they came. When the river floods, they must come even more. Otherwise, what would they be taught to eat? As a result, the entire Luoma Town was in a state of panic, and they repeatedly petitioned the imperial court to send troops to eliminate the pirates.
Before De Yan arrived at Luoma Town, he already knew about the water bandits at Luoma Lake, so he repeatedly instructed Duo Bao to stay obediently in the posthouse and not run around. If he really wanted to go out, he had to bring his guards.
Little Treasure, who had just left the palace, was like Granny Liu who had just entered the Grand View Garden. She was curious about everything and wanted to see everything. De Yan had just followed the governor of Jiangsu Province to check on the river works, and she had sneaked into Luoma Town with a maid, Lan Yue, who was only a year older than her, to watch the show. She had long forgotten De Yan's exhortations and inculcating teachings!
For example, at this moment, she was attracted by the many merchants in Luoma Town. She was jumping, running, and shouting, almost making Lanyue unable to keep up with her.
Lan Yue knew that this princess had a lively and outgoing personality. Once she left the house, she was like a bird that had been released from a cage. If she did not watch her closely, she was afraid that she would disappear in the blink of an eye. Therefore, she could only beg for mercy every three steps and beg for mercy every five steps, hoping that her precious master would spare her on account of her pitiful state.
However, Abundant Treasure did not care about this. She chuckled and said,"It's better to look at more things, right? Sister Lan, look, this hairpin is so beautiful. Can I buy it for you?”
Lan Yue shook her head." Please don't make this servant suffer. As long as you follow this servant back to the posthouse, this servant will be very happy!"”
Duo Bao made a face at Lan Yue, picked up the hairpin, and inserted it into Lan Yue's head." I don't care! I want to buy a hairpin for you today. If you dare not accept it, I'll tell Brother Yan that you peeked at him and even embroidered a betel nut pouch for him!”
Lan Yue's face turned red and she stomped her feet in embarrassment." Master, you, if you continue to do this, I, I…"
Seeing Lan Yue's face turn red, Duo Bao was even happier. She pulled Lan Yue's hand and shouted,""Aiyo, Sister Lan, why are you so shy? Liking Brother Yan isn't something shameful! Many people in the palace like Brother Yan! They said that he was refined and good-looking, a hundred times better than that Brother Rui who only knew how to tease people all day! How was it? I'll ask A'Ma to put in a good word and transfer you under Brother Yan's banner so that you and him…"
Listening to how Abundant Treasure was getting more and more ridiculous, Lan Yue was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to do. She immediately shook off Abundant Treasure's hand and walked forward.
Duo Bao was happily jumping around and shouting behind him, completely not looking like a girl at all. "Sister Lan, don't go! Brother Yan will be sad if you leave. He told me that he likes you very much too. He even said that if you…"
At this moment, a few panicked people suddenly ran from the direction of the ferry towards Abundant Treasures. Abundant Treasures, who was busy teasing Lanyue, did not expect someone to suddenly run out. She was immediately sent flying and fell heavily on her butt. She grimaced in pain and cursed,"Ouch, it hurts! Which blind bastard was tired of living? How dare you hit me?"
Unexpectedly, the person who knocked into Duo Bao ignored her and pushed her to the side with force. He kept shouting,"The pirates are here. The pirates from Luoma Lake are here to borrow food from the river bank. Everyone, let's go quickly!”
Before Duo Bao could react, the entire bustling street had instantly turned deathly silent. Everyone was running, hiding, dodging, dodging, and even the puppy had disappeared without a trace. On the huge street, only Duo Bao was left sitting on the ground in a daze, his round eyes wide open.
Water bandits? Lan Yue had just mentioned the pirates. She did not expect the pirates to really come ashore. Humph! Stupid thieves, bad thieves, and careless thieves who were not afraid of death. They didn't even ask who was in charge of Luoma Town and actually dared to come ashore to cause trouble?
It didn't matter. To deal with these little cuttlefish at the bottom of the water, there was no need to trouble the current emperor's eldest brother, De Yan. As long as she, a first-grade imperial guard and the emperor's personal title of Lady Duo Bao, stepped out, she could guarantee that these cuttlefish would turn into sweet and sour cuttlefish on the table in two or three moves.
Abundant Treasure immediately flipped over and leaped up. With his hands on his hips, he stared with his eyes wide open and his chin raised high. He stood in the empty street with a very imposing manner, as if he was a single man guarding the pass... No, it should be said that he was a single woman guarding the pass, with a mighty aura that no one could defeat.
Not long after, the sound of horse hooves came from the other end. As the sound of horse hooves got closer and closer, an inexplicable terrifying atmosphere gradually enveloped them.
There was a black mass of people, at least twenty to thirty fierce-looking, fierce-looking men riding horses, majestically heading in the direction of Duo Bao. The leader was a young man in his twenties riding a white horse.
When Duo Bao saw this man, he didn't think much of it at first. In any case, he was just the head of a thief. Since he was a thief, and the kind of bad thief who would rob people of their money and harm the people, he only needed to punch him to death.
However, when she saw the face of the man on the horse, she suddenly felt as if she had been struck by lightning and almost bounced up.
De Yan! This person looked like De Yan? W-what was going on? De Yan should have followed the governor of Jiangsu to inspect the river works. How could he appear here on a horse?
Duo Bao rubbed his eyes and patted his head, thinking that he had seen wrongly due to his dizziness.
However, when she opened her eyes again, the man had already come to her side. Without saying a word, he looked at Duo Bao with a gaze so cold that it would make people tremble.
At such a close distance, Abundant Treasure looked at him carefully, left, right, up, down, and even in circles. He could see this thief head clearly. He really did look like De Yan, but…he didn't look like him. De Yan was thinner than him, shorter, fairer, and not as lean and strong as him. Moreover, De Yan's face didn't have his domineering aura. De Yan was gentle and refined, but this person was cold and arrogant. It was as if someone owed him eight million taels of silver and hadn't returned it. It was really annoying.
This person was definitely not De Yan! Because De Yan was the Emperor's son, a noble and noble, how could he come here to be a thief? Besides, she grew up playing and studying with De Yan. How could she not recognize him? This was just a man who looked very similar to De Yan.
After figuring out that this big iceberg in front of him was not the De Yan he knew, Abundant Treasures immediately rolled up his sleeves and prepared to carry out justice on behalf of the heavens and eliminate this great scourge for Luoma Town.
"Hey, you…"
"Take him away!"
Abundant Treasures was stunned." What?"
The man glanced at Abundant Treasure coldly." You are the youngest daughter of Minister Yuyun of the Military and Political Affairs Office. Your name is Abundant Treasure, right?”
Duo Bao nodded proudly. My name is Yuyun."
"Your mother's name is Zhu Xiaoxiao, and because she was loved by the Emperor, she was conferred the title of Princess Heshuo, right?”
At the mention of his mother, Zhu Xiaoxiao, Abundant Treasures became even more pleased." That's right. My mother is not only a princess, but she also has the Emperor's Sword. She can slay demons, eliminate evil, help the weak, eliminate the violent, and appease the good. She can save the people from their downfall..."
Just as Abundant Treasures was talking nonstop, the man suddenly said,""That's right. Take him away!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a man immediately stretched out his hand towards Abundant Treasures.
However, Abundant Treasures was a first-grade guard of the Emperor. Coupled with his mother, Zhu Xiaoxiao, who had taught him since he was young, even if he hadn't learned ten percent of Zhu Xiaoxiao's martial arts, he had learned seventy percent of Zhu Xiaoxiao's cunning. She immediately straightened her body like a carp to avoid the man's big hand. Then, she used an inverted golden hook to kick the man off his horse. "Humph! You want to catch me with a stinky cuttlefish like you? It's still early!"
Seeing this, the other man spat,"Girl, I didn't know you had some skills!”
Abundant Treasures snorted and kicked the man off his horse again. "I don't only have a few tricks up my sleeve, but I'm more than enough to deal with stinky cuttlefish like you!”
"What are you talking about, you naughty girl? Watch how I deal with you!" Another man couldn't help but shout.
Duo Bao giggled." What big talk? Song Huizong's painting, the painting of the Eight Great Mountain Men, don't you think it's a big painting? But speaking of cleaning up, how are you going to clean up? Steamed or roasted? Or fry it in oil?"
The man scratched his head, confused." What steamed, roasted, fried? It wasn't like he was cooking fish, so why did he have to steam and grill it?”
"I'm asking you, stupid fish, if you're willing to steam it? Or was he willing to roast it? Ge Ge, I heard that dirty fish are best fried, so I can only sacrifice a little and use more oil to fry your stinky cuttlefish!”
Before he could finish, she had already kicked him into a bucket of oil by the street, making him a deep-fried water thief on the spot.
Following Duo Bao, he kicked here and kicked there, running here and there, hiding here and there. It didn't take long for the group of pirates to be in a mess. Just as they saw that they could save the entire Luoma Town after killing the last one, suddenly, that cold voice sounded again,"You naughty girl, have you had enough?"
Duo Bao turned around with his hands on his hips and glared at the man in the lead. "I just haven't had enough. What do you want?”
"Nothing much. I just want you to shut up.”
Duo Bao still wanted to say something, but she realized that she actually couldn't open her mouth. Not only couldn't she open her mouth, even her body couldn't move. She could only stare at this unfamiliar man who looked like De Yan, but was much colder than De Yan.
Duo Bao sat angrily on the chair, his eyes wide open as he glared at the man who was washing his face and changing his clothes.
"Hey! Why did you bring me here? Let go of me, did you hear me? I told you to let go of me!”
The man expressionlessly glanced at Abundant Treasures, then straightened his clothes, picked up the cup of tea on the table, and drank it in one gulp.
Seeing that he was ignoring her, Abundant Treasure became even angrier! She tried her best to kick her legs and jump in front of the man with the chair she was tied to. "I told you to let go of me, did you hear me? I'm Gege! I am the Minister of the Military and Political Affairs Office. Mother is Princess Heshuo. Are you tired of living? How dare you bring me to this stinking den of thieves! Let me tell you, as long as I release the slightest signal, thousands of troops will immediately come here and cut you into pieces! "So you'd better let me go. Otherwise, when my reinforcements arrive, I'll tear down your den and set it on fire. After burning it, I'll water it with water. After watering it, I'll grind it into powder and sprinkle it into Luoma Lake. I'll make sure that you won't have the chance to start over in this life, the next life, and the next life…"
Abundant Treasures threatened and intimidated him as he kept shouting. He even cursed the man's eighteen generations of ancestors and seventeen generations of descendants.
However, not only was the man indifferent, he didn't even frown. He just grabbed a cold cake on the table and stuffed it into Duo Bao's mouth without any mistakes.
Abundant Treasure didn't expect him to do this at all. His eyes widened, and his little face flushed red. He bit and swallowed, but at least he didn't choke to death.
Duo Bao exploded in anger." You…"
"Speak again, and I'll stuff this plate of cake into your mouth!" the man said coldly.”
Hearing this, Abundant Treasures was not afraid of death and continued to shout,"I just want to talk, so what? Who taught you not to let go of me? If you let go of me, I…"
Duo Bao whimpered and stuffed another cake into her mouth, causing her to almost choke to death again!
The man gently pursed his lips and picked up the plate of cake. He came in front of Abundant Treasures and said in a low voice,"Are you still going to speak?"
" It's not fair…" Duo Bao mumbled.
"Hmm?" The man grunted, making her tactfully shut up.
Duo Bao pouted and glared at him.
Too much, too much! He was really too much! He actually used such delicious meat as a weapon? Humph! She cursed him for choking on his food, choking on his water, falling into a pit of sh * t when he went out, scalding him to death when he bathed, strangling him when he changed his clothes, and even being crushed to death by a stone falling from the sky when he walked! Abundant Treasure cursed viciously in his heart, and a mischievous pleasure flashed across his big round eyes.
The man frowned slightly, as if he had seen through what Abundant Treasures was thinking. "Are you thinking about how to kill me? Save it! From now on, you will answer whatever I ask. If I don't ask you to speak, you are not allowed to speak, understand?”
Duo Bao opened her mouth and frowned. She wanted to protest, but when she saw the cake in his hand, she obediently shut her mouth and only snorted softly.
"Let me ask you, when will the Emperor's carriage arrive at Luoma Town?" the man asked coldly.”
Duo Bao had wanted to turn his head away and pretend not to hear his question. But when she heard that he was actually asking about the Emperor's carriage, she couldn't help but turn back. "You…"
"Let me ask you again, when will the Emperor come to Luoma Town?”
Duo Bao was so shocked that he couldn't speak! This man, how did this man know that the Emperor was coming to Luoma Town? In the entire imperial court, besides herself, De Yan, and her Ama, even the Jiangsu local officials and her most beloved mother did not know about this matter. How did this man know?
"What nonsense are you spouting? Why did the Emperor not stay in the capital and come to Luoma Town, where the levees would burst almost every year? " Besides, there's still your big, big…" Duo Bao wanted to call him a big cuttlefish, but when he thought that he would use the word " cake " against him, he could only swallow the word " cuttlefish " back.
"Nonsense? Do you think I'm talking nonsense?"
"Isn't it? Do you think that this place is very close to the capital and that the emperor can come just because he wants to?”
"If that's the case, why did you, the princess of many treasures, and that De Yan Baylor come all the way here? You can't be telling me that the two of you are out to inspect the river works, right?”
" I..." Abundant Treasures 'heart trembled as he thought about how to say it so that he wouldn't reveal his secret. "I'm here to inspect the river works. The river in Jiangsu broke its banks every year, and the people were displaced and miserable. The emperor was kind and loved things, so shouldn't he send someone to take a look?”
" We should send someone to take a look, but it's only right to send the Minister of the Military and Political Affairs Office over for this kind of thing. No matter what, it's not your turn to play with a noisy little Ge Ge all day and a Beile who only knows how to play with women, right? Or is it that all the civil and military officials of the Qing Dynasty are dead, so they have no choice but to send the two of you to inspect the river works?”
Duo Bao was furious. She hopped in front of the man and raised her leg to kick him. She even roared angrily,"Are you saying that I'm a little Ge Ge who only knows how to play and make noise all day, while Brother Yan only knows how to play with women? You're too much! I'll kick you, kick you, I'll kick you to death…"
Duo Bao angrily kicked the man, completely forgetting that she was tied to the chair and couldn't even move her hands. Therefore, such a series of kicks naturally made her lose her balance, and the result was that her entire body fell backwards, and the chair fell heavily to the ground, leaving only her two calves swaying in the air. She looked as miserable as she could be.
The man looked expressionlessly at Duo Bao, who could not even stand up. "Did I say something wrong?"
Even though he had fallen to the ground with his chair, Duo Bao was still shouting loudly, determined to prove that he was right. " Of course I'm wrong. I'm not a little Ge Ge who only knows how to play and make noise. I'm a first-rank guard personally appointed by the emperor. Listen well, I'm a first-rank guard, not some fourth-rank or fifth-rank guard. I'm a first-rank, first-rank! Brother Yan is in charge of the Divine Arms Battalion and the Valiant Cavalry Battalion. He is also the Emperor's personal guard. If it wasn't for the Emperor's safety and for the Emperor to have a good time, Brother Yan and I wouldn't have…"
At this point, Abundant Treasures suddenly stopped. Oh no! She had unknowingly fallen into his trap and told him about the Emperor's incognito patrol. What should she do? He, he shouldn't be that smart. He shouldn't have heard it, right?
Abundant Treasure looked up at the man with wide eyes, and the man was also looking down at her with an unfathomable gaze. Clearly, this man was smarter than Abundant Treasure thought. He asked slowly in a calm tone,""Tell me, when will the Emperor arrive at Luoma Town?”
Abundant Treasures turned his head with a backbone, intending to deny it to the end. "I don't know."
The man squatted down." You don't know? You are the Emperor's first rank guard, your father is a minister of the Military and Political Affairs Office, you followed the Emperor's brother out to be the vanguard, and you actually said you didn't know when the Emperor would arrive at Luoma Town?”
"I don't know. Even if you kill me, I won't know!”The expression on Abundant Treasures 'face was extremely proud, and his heart was filled with a heroic sense of mission. If Ama knew that his precious daughter was so brave, he would be very happy.
The man narrowed his eyes." Oh? Is that so?"
"Of course, I can say it again. No, I can say it ten times. I don't know, I don't know, I don't know!”
The man snorted lightly." I've long heard that Duobao Gege is clever and eccentric. Even the emperor can't control her. However, you're unlucky to have fallen into my hands today."”
Abundant Treasures 'eyes widened as he looked at the man who called himself Nie Bing. "You, what do you want to do?"
"What are you doing?" Nie Bing smiled coldly, his pitch-black eyes staring straight at Abundant Treasure. Those icy cold eyes carried a hint of cruelty and wildness, so no matter how crafty Abundant Treasure was, it still made his hair stand on end.
"What do you want? Let me tell you, if you dare to do anything to me, I will ask the emperor to send troops to fill up your Luoma Lake. At that time, your stinky cuttlefish will become a dead loach. Also, my Amma will also…"
Suddenly, she heard Duo Bao scream. Nie Bing had already taken off her shoes, revealing her fair and delicate feet.
However, this was not what frightened Duo Bao. After Nie Bing took off her shoes, she actually grabbed her foot with her hand and scratched the bottom of her foot with her fingers. A warm current of air flowed back and forth under Duo Bao's feet, causing Duo Bao to laugh uncontrollably. She desperately twisted her little feet." No, it's so itchy, so itchy!" You're shameless. How dare you use such a despicable method to deal with a girl? You're not human! You're a turtle, a cuttlefish, a demon who kills without batting an eye. Let me go, let me go!”
Nie Bing suddenly stopped." I can let you go, but tell me where the Emperor is."”
Duo Bao laughed so hard that tears fell from his eyes, and he almost couldn't breathe. His little face was flushed red, but when he thought that his most beloved emperor might be in danger because of this, a foolish desire to sacrifice his life for justice arose spontaneously.
She turned her head and replied bravely,"I don't know. I still don't know even if I say it a hundred times!”
"You don't know? Then don't blame me for not warning you."
As soon as she finished speaking, Nie Bing immediately grabbed Duo Bao's small feet and used her fingertips to scratch the soles of her feet. Then, she rubbed them back and forth gently. Duo Bao immediately laughed out loud, but before she could laugh twice, she cried out because of the pain in her body that felt like thousands of ants were biting her." You, you bastard…One day, I'll kill you, castrate you, cook you…and make you into dried cuttlefish…feed, feed the emperor's gyrfalcon…"
Before he could finish speaking, Abundant Treasures fainted.#
