Chapter 148 I'm going to deliver the letter
"Okay." Hua Liuli smiled and nodded, then asked him, "What's your name?"
The little beggar replied: "My name is Xiao An. This name was given to me by my grandfather. He said he hoped that I would live a peaceful life."
At this point, his voice dropped, his eyes flickering with nostalgia for the warmth of the past, "Grandpa loved me very much, and he would leave all the food for me, always hiding it from me and saying he ate it. I knew he didn't eat it, so I would always watch him eat. If Grandpa didn't eat it, I wouldn't eat it either.
Seeing my grandfather’s happy face after eating, I secretly vowed in my heart that I would become a promising person in the future and let my grandfather have enough food to eat. But my grandfather was sick, very sick, and we had no money to see a doctor or buy medicine, so my grandfather died... "At this point, Xiao An's voice choked, and tears kept falling like beads with a broken string, staining his dirty little face.
Upon hearing this, Hua Liuli felt an indescribable sadness in her heart. She had never expected that in such a prosperous era, the lives of the lower-class people were so difficult. She really hoped that one day the fire of national prosperity would shine in every corner, and people all over the world would be able to live and work in peace.
Looking at Xiao An who had cried like a kitten, she gently reached out her hand to stroke his head and comforted him tenderly: "Xiao An, don't be sad. Although your grandfather is gone, he must want to see you live strong and happy. Come home with me. You won't have to go hungry anymore. You can also go to school and work hard to become a promising person to make your grandfather happy in his grave."
When Xiao An heard this, his eyes widened like two bright stars. He looked at Hua Liuli stupidly, not expecting that she would be so nice to him.
Being able to eat enough every day was already a very happy thing for him, and going to school was something he could not even imagine.
At this moment, a figure as fast as lightning appeared in front of them.
Hua Liuli looked at Ye Hun and said with a smile, "Ye Hun, you've come at the right time! Take Xiao An back to Weiyuan Marquis Mansion and let Zhenzhu clean him up."
Xiao An was somewhat reluctant to follow Ye Hun, and he gently pulled Hua Liuli's clothes.
Seeing this, Hua Liuli squatted down and looked at him, saying gently: "Don't be afraid, he is my guard and will not hurt you. You follow him back to my house first, I have something to do, I will be back after I finish it. Be good and listen to me."
Hearing this, Xiao An loosened Hua Liuli's sleeves. He had to be obedient. Before his grandfather died, he told him that obedient children were lovable.
"So good." Seeing that he was obedient, Hua Liuli patted his head in praise, then stood up and said to Ye Hun: "Ye Hun, tell grandma that she doesn't have to wait for me for dinner tonight. I'll eat outside."
After saying that, Hua Liuli walked quickly towards the Ningguo Mansion without waiting for Ye Hun to answer.
Now she was very worried about Sangsang's safety. That girl didn't know martial arts, and she didn't know how much she would suffer if she fell into the hands of bad people. She had to rescue Sangsang as soon as possible.
In the lobby of the Ningguo Mansion, Pei Xingjian was telling Ning Xiaotian that he would go to the abandoned warehouse in the east of the city tonight to deliver silver bills.
Ning Xiaotian refused, "Pei Shaoqing, Sangsang is my daughter, how can I let you take risks? Don't go, I'll take you there."
The people who kidnapped Sangsang were in the dark while they were in the light. Moreover, those people were so arrogant to send letters to so many people. They must be numerous and strong, otherwise they would not be so arrogant. This was his family's business, and he could not let Pei Xingjian take the risk. Besides, Pei Xingjian was the only son of Princess Yongle. If anything happened to him, it would be difficult to explain to Princess Yongle.
Before Pei Xingjian could answer, three voices rang out in unison.
Chu Aotian: "I'll go!"
Chu Ao Yu: "I'll go!"
Gu Yunshen: “I’ll go!”
Ning Xiaotian looked at the three people who spoke at the same time, and said secretly: They are all willing to save Sangsang regardless of their own safety. It seems that they all care about Sangsang.
Just as he opened his mouth to say something, Gu Yunshen's voice rang out:
"Duke Ningguo, you don't have to go. You are already old, you should take a rest. Let the young people handle these things."
Ning Xiaotian: “…”
Is what Gu Laosan said really unpleasant?
What do you mean he is very old? He is only in his forties!
Chu Ao Yu agreed, "Duke Ningguo, Brother Gu is right. You are already old, so just take a rest. Don't worry, we will rescue little... Sangsang." He swallowed back the word "senior sister" that was about to come out of his mouth and changed it to Sangsang.
Ning Xiaotian felt very complicated when he was once again described as being of old age. These two people were the ones who said this.
If those words were said by his second and third sons, those two brats, he would have gone up to them and slapped them on the head, pulled their ears and called them idiots.
You little brat, what do you mean by old? I’m only in my early forties!
Chu Aotian and the others didn't know what Ning Xiaotian was thinking. Seeing Ning Xiaotian frowning, Chu Aotian, who didn't like to comfort people, also spoke to comfort him: "Duke Ning, don't worry, we will rescue Miss Ning!"
He wanted to know the secret of that girl. That girl also saved his mother, so he would rescue that girl no matter what.
Upon hearing this, Duke Ning said to Chu Aotian and the others, "Seventh Prince, I know you all want to save Sangsang, but Sangsang is my daughter, so I'll go and save her. The person who kidnapped Sangsang is probably coming for me, and if I don't go in person, Sangsang might get hurt."
Pei Xingjian said, "Duke Ning, the people who kidnapped Miss Ning said in the letter that you should send someone to deliver the banknotes, but did not ask you to deliver it in person. You should stay in the Duke Ning's mansion. The people who kidnapped Miss Ning will probably ask someone to deliver a letter to you."
Ning Xiaotian felt that he was right after hearing what he said, but everyone present was of noble status, so even if he didn't want to send them off, he couldn't let them do it. He had to find someone with strong martial arts skills to do it.
Just when he wanted to say something, Hua Liuli came in and said, "I'll go deliver the letter."
After that, without waiting for them to speak, he began to analyze the situation for them: "The person who kidnapped Sangsang should be a man. I am beautiful and have a good figure. When I go to deliver the letter, the man who kidnapped Sangsang will see me secretly and he will have evil intentions. Then I will pretend to faint and let him kidnap me. I can take the opportunity to clear their lair and find Sangsang's specific location. Then we can work together inside and outside to catch them all in one fell swoop."
Everyone: "..."
"Miss Hua, your idea is good, but have you ever thought that the person who kidnapped Miss Ning may not be interested in you?" Gu Yunshen looked at her with a subtle expression.
This was the second narcissistic person he had ever met besides Ning Sangsang. No, it should be the third one. Su Xiaoyu was also a narcissistic person. Birds of a feather flock together. As expected, everyone who could hang out with Ning Sangsang was a little too narcissistic.
Hearing this, Hua Liuli confidently expressed her opinion: "Since they are so greedy for money, they must be lustful. I think I have a good appearance and figure, so I should be able to lure them into the trap."
She paused, and continued, "I know martial arts, I have the ability to protect myself, and I also know how to adapt to changing circumstances. I am the most suitable person to go. Compared to me, any one of you going there would be too conspicuous and easily alert the enemy. I am a woman, and they would easily let down their guard."
Chu Aotian's face turned cold when he heard this. When he was about to say something, Gu Yunshen's frivolous voice rang out.
"Miss Hua, have you ever thought that those people don't like women, but like men?" Gu Yunshen asked Hua Liuli seriously.
Hua Liuli: “…”
She really hadn't thought about this.
"Is this possible?" Hua Liuli raised her eyebrows and asked Gu Yunshen.
Gu Yunshen said: "Of course there is such a possibility. You know about Yang Wenguang, right? He is a typical example of someone who likes men."
Hua Liuli's expression suddenly became subtle when she heard this. Yang Wenguang's story was widely spread in the capital. Of course, she knew that the man who kidnapped Sangsang also liked men? So many men like men these days?
Is their liking for men a result of a twisted mind or a result of not having gone to school and having a low level of education?
Hua Liuli's mind was full of wild thoughts that ran wild uncontrollably.
"Ahem." Ning Xiaotian saw that they were becoming more and more ridiculous, so he coughed a few times and said, "Miss Hua, it's not appropriate for you to go. I will arrange for someone to go. You can go back."
Hua Liuli is the only daughter of General Weiyuan, who loves her like the apple of his eye. If anything happens to her, I'm afraid that with his violent temper, General Weiyuan will rush back to the capital and roar: "If anyone bullies my precious daughter, I will cut that damn bastard into pieces!"
He was not exaggerating. When Hua Liuli was three years old, she accidentally fell into the Colosseum and was almost eaten by a tiger.
General Hua rushed into the arena angrily, fought fiercely with the tiger and killed it.
He happened to be there at that time and had the honor to witness a battle between General Hua and a tiger, so he must not take any risks with Hua Liuli. After all, General Hua had only one daughter, and Hua Liuli was General Hua's life, so there could not be any mistakes.
Hua Liuli opened her mouth when she heard that. Just when she was about to say something, Gu Yunshen spoke first, "Duke Ningguo, you don't need to find anyone else. Just let me go. My looks are attractive to both men and women. No matter if the kidnapper likes men or women, I can do the job."
Ning Xiaotian: “…”
Chu Ao Yu laughed and said, "That's fine. Brother Gu has an androgynous appearance and can attract both men and women. It's very suitable for Brother Gu to go."
Hua Liuli objected: "I think I am more suitable, let me..."
Before she could finish her words, Chu Ao interrupted her coldly, "What do you think is right? You are an unmarried woman, so you seduce those men. Don't you want to keep your reputation?"
Hua Liuli: “…”
She doesn't care about reputation or not. As long as she knows that she is innocent, she doesn't care what others say.
Just when she was about to refute Chu Aotian, Chu Aotian said to Duke Ning, "Duke Ning, let Gu Yunshen go. Gu Yunshen is very suitable."
