Chapter 149 Beauty First
Chapter 149 Beauty First
Zhuixue was stunned, then his face changed and he asked in shock: "Master, are you going to suppress those bandits?"
Xuanyuan Che smiled without saying anything, everything was implied.
Zhuixue felt a chill on his back. According to intelligence, the bandits had taken over the mountain and their number might be tens of thousands.
The master only brought more than ten people with him on this trip. How can he suppress the bandits?
Zhuixue couldn't understand why his master would leave such a piece of fat meat in the Northern Territory and choose to take the plate of peanuts.
Compared with the Princess of the Northern Territory, those bandits are nothing but a side dish. The master could not have failed to consider which of these two matters was more important.
Zhui Ying held his sword and said coldly: "The bandits have become bandits, endangering the safety of the surrounding people. The court has sent people to encircle and suppress them, but there has been no effect. Moreover, there are so many bandits. If we can recruit them under the command of the master, it will be a great help. We can gain both reputation and people. Isn't it the best of both worlds?"
Having said that, Zhuixue still couldn't figure it out.
However, she believed that her master would not do anything without confidence, and there might be something fishy going on with the Princess of the Northern Territory.
Suppress bandits?
After listening for a long time, Mei Susu finally understood.
Xuanyuan Che released the news that he was going to pick up the Princess of the Northern Territory, but in fact he was going to do something else.
So was he interested in the Northern Territory Princess or not?
Mei Susu was a little confused. No wonder he should have been in a hurry, but ended up taking his time along the way, as if he was just sightseeing.
It turns out that the drunkard's real intention is not to drink.
Mei Susu wondered in her heart, could it be that she had guessed wrong? Was Xuanyuan Che actually not treating the princess the way she thought?
However, she did not dare to make any more random guesses. Given the current situation, she decided to see the Princess of the Northern Territory before drawing any conclusions.
After resting, they set off again.
They settled in a town until dark.
With the experience of the day, Xuanyuan Che did not show up in person this time. Instead, Zhuixue and Zhuiying found the inn to rest. After paying the silver, Xuanyuan Che carried Mei Susu down from the carriage and went upstairs.
It was late and there were not many guests in the inn.
Although the appearance of Xuanyuan Che and his group caused quite a stir, fortunately everyone just thought that some young master was passing by. Some of them looked at them curiously for a few more times and then continued with their own things.
After entering the house, Xuanyuan Che arranged for someone to order food. After a simple meal, Zhuiying brought hot water and Xuanyuan Che prepared to take a bath.
Mei Susu squatted on the couch, looking at the tall figure behind the screen, ready to rush in to feast her eyes after Xuanyuan Che took off his clothes.
But before Xuanyuan Che could take off all his clothes, the sound of two people arguing was heard outside the window.
A man and a woman were arguing fiercely.
Mei Susu listened carefully and it seemed that the man was scolding the woman for being useless and unable to even take care of the child. The woman cried and asked him what to do.
It seems that their child is missing.
Mei Susu jumped off the couch and prepared to jump onto the windowsill to take a closer look at what was going on.
Just as she jumped onto the table by the window, Xuanyuan Che walked out from behind the screen with his upper body naked, looked at the half-open window and then reached out to close it.
Mei Susu's little paws were already on the windowsill, looking at the closed window with displeasure.
"Why can't I watch it?" She tilted her little head, her big eyes flashing with confusion.
Xuanyuan Che leaned over and held her in his arms, holding her little paws and pressing them against his chest.
The tone was gentle, and there was a hint of temptation in the low voice: "I want to take a bath. Do you want to join me or go out and watch others quarrel?"
Feeling the tight chest under the claws, Meisusu's whole body gradually began to heat up.
The voice of Xuanyuan Che in her ears was both magnetic and alluring, and she seemed to feel a surge of heat rushing to her forehead.
This guy actually seduced her!
It's really killing me.
In the presence of beauty, what else do you want? You don’t want anything else. Beauty is enough.
Mei Susu called out excitedly, and her other paw touched Xuanyuan Che's chest, then stepped on it and stuck to him excitedly.
Xuanyuan Che took a long step and stepped into the wooden barrel. Just as Mei Susu was about to be put into the water, there was a knock on the door.
"Master, the owner of this restaurant wants to see you."
Xuanyuan Che paused while holding Mei Susu's hand, and looked towards the door at the same time as Mei Susu.
Meisusu's small tail had already swept the water surface, and when it was raised again, it was hit and soaked, and the water on its tail was splashed around.
"Meow?"
What happened?
Mei Susu was puzzled. It was already the middle of the night, what could have happened?
Xuanyuan Che grabbed a silk handkerchief from the side, put on his robe, and walked towards the door while wiping the wet tail of the little guy in his arms.
When the door was opened, a middle-aged man followed Zhuiying and stood in front of the door. When he saw Xuanyuan Che, he immediately knelt down.
Zhuiying raised his leg and placed it under the man's knee: "Hey, don't kneel yet."
You don't know anything about this, so you kneel down as soon as you get here. What's the point of that?
The middle-aged man wanted to kneel down again, but no matter how hard he tried, his knees could not move down even half an inch.
The leg against his knee was like a block of iron, unable to move at all.
He immediately knew that Zhuiying was not an ordinary person, and he would never kneel down unless he was asked to do so.
Helplessly, the man had to stand up awkwardly. When he raised his body, he saw a pair of big eyes like copper bells.
The man was so frightened that he cried out and almost fell to the ground. After he recovered from the shock, he looked carefully and found that the big copper bell eyes he saw just now turned out to be the cat in the arms of the person in front of him.
Mei Susu stepped on Xuanyuan Che's chest, her glazed eyes staring at the middle-aged man in front of her with strange eyes. She never thought that she could scare him by just looking at him curiously.
Is she so scary that she could scare him like this?
"What's the matter?"
Xuanyuan Che looked at the man with a cold expression, obviously very unhappy that he came to disturb him so late.
The middle-aged man didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point: "It is indeed my fault for disturbing you at this hour, but I know that opportunities are rare. Even if you punish me later, I will still come here."
He spoke sincerely, with his body half bent and a respectful look on his face.
Mei Susu looked at him. For some reason, although his attitude was very good, she always felt strange.
"I see that you are well-dressed and accompanied by guards. I believe your family must be powerful and influential, and they will definitely help our town resolve the crisis."
Xuanyuan Che frowned slightly when he heard this, but said nothing.
Zhuiying said, "Tell me, what crisis is there in your town?"
The middle-aged man sighed and began to tell the story slowly.
"Half a month ago, my nephew was kidnapped while playing at home. Since then, there have been cases of missing children in this town. The government has been looking for him for half a month, but has no clue at all."
"One day when it was windy, I passed by the mayor's house and saw a child's clothing floating out from the mayor's backyard. The clothing was made of coarse linen. The mayor was the richest man in our town, so how could his children wear such clothes?
I was on guard and sneaked into the mayor's backyard to investigate. I found a secret room in the mayor's backyard and heard the sound of a child crying."
