C58 Encountered a Bandit!
Lan Qingqian rolled around and got up. “Don’t listen to your story. You’re not as good as the old prince.”
Chun Su looked pitiful. “Your Highness, aren’t you afraid that I’ll be sad?”
Lan Qingqian tilted her head and thought for a while. “Yes, your story is very good, but I want to hear the old prince’s.”
Chun Su felt that she had been hurt by ten thousand points.
“How about we go out and have a look? I heard that there are a lot of new things in the Imperial City. There’s a temple fair today. Let’s go and have a look.” Lan Qingqian felt that she was bored in the mansion and wanted to go out and have a look.
Chun Su shook his head. “You forgot that the prince said that you should stay in the mansion. What if you meet bad people outside?”
Lan Qingqian said, “You tell him how he knows. We’ll go out and play for a while before we come back!” Lan Qingqian stretched out her finger and made a gesture.
Chun Su bit his lip and shook his head. Lan Qingqian threatened her. “Then I’ll go out quietly. You won’t know even if I go out quietly.”
In fact, Lan Qingqian was trying to scare Chun Su. The trees in the mansion were too tall and there was some distance between them and the wall. She couldn’t go over. Even if she could, the wall was slippery and she would fall if she couldn’t grab it.
The dog hole in the mansion was tightly sealed by the old prince. Even the kittens couldn’t go out, let alone her.
Chun Su hesitated for a moment. “Then can we ask Butler Jiang?”
Lan Qingqian who was outside the city was jumping around like a happy little bird.
“It’s much more fun outside than inside the palace. Why do those women always want to go to the palace?” Lan Qingqian looked around and touched it.
Chun Su was following her closely, “Your Highness, you should run slower. We’ll get separated later.”
Behind her was a black-clothed youth. He was a guard who had been working in the Imperial Residence for many years. He was quite skilled in martial arts. There was a temple fair that was held once a year outside the city. It was very lively and there were crowds of people coming and going.
“There’s a magic trick up ahead. Let’s go take a look.” Lan Qingqian was fascinated by these strange things. She started to run first.
The guard shook his head and quickly followed behind her.
Chun Su was panting as she carried two bags of things. She was running too fast and accidentally bumped into someone.
The aunt who was carrying the basket said angrily, “Don’t you look at the road when you walk?”
“Sorry!” Chun Su stopped and bowed slightly to apologize, “I’m in a hurry. I’m sorry, Auntie. Here, this is for you!” She stuffed a bag of sweets into her basket and was ready to rush over.
Before the aunt could say anything, the crowd suddenly started to run towards them, “There’s a bandit killing people. Run! Run!”
“Bandit?” Chun Su was a little suspicious. Why would there be a bandit in the Imperial City?
She grabbed a big brother who was running over and asked, “Where did this bandit come from?”
“I don’t know. There are about twenty of them. They are right in front of us.”
Spring roll was anxious. He let go of his big brother and rushed forward, “Your Highness! Your Highness!” He shouted out loudly. In his heart, he was praying that Steamed Bun would not lose the princess.
At this moment, Steamed Bun was running in the crowd to find the little figure. However, the crowd was scattered. It was getting harder to find someone.
He was getting more and more anxious. Why did the person disappear in the blink of an eye?
Lan Qingqian hid on the tree. The bustle disappeared in the blink of an eye. She was planning to get closer and see how the magician made the little bird. However, she was pushed away before she could get close. Then, she heard screams and cries. Everyone was running in all directions.
When she turned around, she saw people running everywhere. Steamed Bun and Spring roll were gone.
She heard that there were bandits coming and they were killing people.
There were too many people. She was afraid that she would be stepped on. Lan Qingqian did not dare to run too far. She was afraid that Spring roll and the others would not be able to find her. She could only hide on the tree.
She saw a big man with a full beard holding a machete. He reached out his hand and cut a young man in half like a watermelon.
Blood splashed all over the bearded man’s face. It scared Lan Qingqian so much that she covered her mouth tightly. She did not dare to let out any sound. She was afraid that they would find her.
The rest of the bandits quickly snatched the money from the passersby. Anyone who dared to stop them would be killed with a single stab.
