Chapter 1130 - 273: Meeting Gift (Part 2)
"Come, let Aunt hold you."
Xiong Liqing stepped forward and picked up Tiantian.
"Oh, the little guy is heavy."
Siniang laughed, "Of course, he’s been solid since young."
Tiantian was being held by Xiong Liqing, and he was not shy at all, laughing "hehehe" actively.
"Whoosh!"
A red shadow darted over.
Siniang’s gaze intensified, and she said directly, "Mo Wan!"
The shadow stopped and hovered.
Tiantian turned his head and saw that stone, and his smile grew even brighter. He actively wriggled free from Xiong Liqing’s arms. Xiong Liqing was already holding him with difficulty, and as he wriggled free, he fell directly from her embrace.
But Mo Wan directly caught Tiantian, bringing him down to the steps.
"Sister, sister, sister."
Tiantian shouted at Mo Wan.
Because, when he was little, Mo Wan often emitted this sound by his side, the first thing he learned was this. After several months, Tiantian’s pronunciation had become even more standard.
Xiong Liqing pointed to the stone where Mo Wan was and asked, "Sister, I’ve always been curious, inside this stone, is there also a demonic beast?"
Siniang shook her head and said, "Actually, I’m curious too. Maybe it’s grown up."
"Hmm?"
Siniang smiled, not intending to explain.
Perhaps Mo Wan also understands the princess’s role, hence matured; otherwise, the kind of dispensable woman who dares to get close to my lord, Mo Wan would surely explode.
At that moment, a tremor sounded from underground.
"What’s wrong, sister?"
"It’s nothing, if it’s from underground, it’s not a big problem. Just right, I’ll take you down to see."
Siniang led Xiong Liqing into the secret passage. As for this secret passage, Xiong Liqing didn’t find it strange at all. It would be strange if a big family didn’t have a secret passage.
The first secret room was empty, to be precise, there was only an iron table above, and on it were pieces of huge stones.
"Sister, what is this?"
"Scraps, there’s a dwarf who uses this place as a workshop."
"Workshop?"
"It’s just a workshop."
"Oh."
Back then, Xue Three was the one who carved open the meteorite in this secret room, retrieving the red stone inside that Mo Wan took as a "new home."
Opening the heavy bronze door, they entered the second secret room.
Actually, the interiors of the three secret rooms are the same, and outside, there are also three different access passages.
There was a person living in this secret room.
This person, although confined in a cage, had a desk, ink, paper, and inkstone inside, and it was cleaned neatly.
However, the person himself seemed a bit sloppy, his hair very long, resembling dreadlocks, he was holding an embroidered shoe, focusing on playing with it.
After noticing someone entering,
Gou Moli put down the shoe in his hand,
looked at Siniang,
then, his gaze focused on the girl beside Siniang.
Xiong Liqing felt that the man in the cage before her, his gaze wasn’t sharp, yet it felt like dripping mercury, just one glance and it seemed to penetrate your whole body.
Growing up in the palace, innately talented in acting, Xiong Liqing was extremely sensitive to watching people and feeling others watching her.
Gou Moli stretched lazily and said:
"Greetings to Mr. Feng, may I know who this noble lady is?"
Spotting Xiong Liqing’s extraordinary identity at a glance, was naturally not difficult for Gou Moli.
"Fourth Princess of Chu," Feng Siniang introduced.
"Hahaha..."
Gou Moli stood up and bowed to Xiong Liqing across the cage:
"Greetings, Your Highness the Princess."
Immediately,
Gou Moli straightened up, looked at Siniang, and said, "How did you get here?"
Gou Moli was always watched over by the blind man. The things he should know, he would know, like some changes on the snowfield, which he knew of; otherwise, he couldn’t help the blind man strategize. As for things he shouldn’t know, naturally, he didn’t know.
"Snatched."
"Snatched?" Gou Moli blinked.
Siniang replied, "Yes."
"Not joking?" Gou Moli was somewhat surprised.
"No time."
"Whew..."
Gou Moli let out a long breath and said, "I now truly believe our Lord Zheng is chosen by heaven."
Siniang calmly said, "Indeed."
"Ah, exciting, ah, exhilarating, but pity I wasn’t there," Gou Moli lamentably scratched his dreadlocks and pleaded, "Little Dog also wants to go out and see the world’s scenery."
"Who is he?"
Xiong Liqing couldn’t help but ask.
Because earlier Siniang introduced her, but didn’t introduce him.
And this man before her seemed crazy, yet gave an extremely extraordinary feeling.
Xiong Liqing remembered the servant Nian Yao in her Fourth Brother’s mansion. Back then, in the mansion, he was submissive to everyone, but once Fourth Brother sent him out, he quickly became a sharp blade in Fourth Brother’s hand.
During the chaos of the princes, Nian Yao alone captured three princes!
"Wild Man King."
"He, he is the Wild Man King?" Xiong Liqing was clearly a bit incredulous.
No,
What she found more unbelievable was that the Wild Man King was actually held captive in Zheng Fan’s house!
For the previous hundred years, the wild people of the snowfield were bullied like pigs and dogs by the Jin people. It was precisely because of the appearance of the Wild Man King that he unified the wild people tribes of the snowfield, finally successfully crossing the border, and even defeating the renowned Yan Army at the banks of the Wang River.
To some extent, the Wild Man King and Chu shared an alliance relationship. Back then, Qu TianNan’s Blue Luan army was inside Jade Plate City, while the Wild Man King’s wild cavalry was outside the city, complementing each other.
