The two people hiding in the big tree looked at each other, and their hearts tightened. The other party was so keenly aware, and they jumped down. They were Jun Lingyun's second and fourth servants.
They temporarily settled the twelve children before and began to monitor the comings and goings of orphans in Li City, hoping to find the whereabouts of the missing children.
Unexpectedly, these mysterious men wearing black and white masks arrived first and rescued all the orphans imprisoned in Li City.
"You guys, can you identify yourself?"
The second child asked. The masked man still had a cold voice:
"It's rude of you. Before asking others for their identity, shouldn't you reveal your identity first? Isn't that the only etiquette?"
The second child and the fourth child both clenched the swords in their hands. The origin of the other party was unknown. Although it seemed from what they had just done, they were opposites to Jun Hongyan, but who knew what their attitude towards His Highness the Crown Prince was?
After all, they just said that Crown Prince and Prince An are just code names. How could ordinary people say such disrespectful words?
"Okay, let's not ask about their identities. I don't know how many of them there are. Where do you want to take those children? And how to arrange them?"
Whether they are enemies or friends, they don't know yet. If they can't understand their purpose, how can they safely let them take those children away.
They could only see the masked man's eyes, and they didn't know if it was their imagination, but they always felt like they were making fun of themselves.
The two parties faced off for a while, and the masked man finally spoke.
"Bring it here and leave it to your disposal."
"What?"
The second and fourth children almost thought there was something wrong with their ears. What do you mean by bringing them here and leaving them to deal with them?
"Haven't you already placed a dozen children? Don't you care about placing a dozen more?"
The masked man spoke again, and the second and fourth children were shocked, and then they were convinced that they had heard correctly. Moreover, how did these four people know what they had done recently?
"Are you following us?"
"We can't talk about following him, we just happened to meet him."
These four people answered all questions, but the second and fourth children were even more solemn. Even their master did not notice their whereabouts, which shows their high concealment skills.
"Since we met by chance, you can rest assured and leave your child in our hands?"
The fourth child raised his eyebrows and asked.
"I believe that the prince of a country will not mistreat several children."
As soon as the masked man said these words, the fourth child's eyes were sharp and he was about to take action. His Royal Highness's trip is of great importance and cannot be known to anyone to avoid causing trouble.
What's more, they don't know each other's identity yet, but the other party already knows them well. The best way is to keep them.
The four people seemed to have no intention of fighting with them, and flew away one after another.
"Go find those children in the cave quickly, don't waste your energy on us."
The second child caught the fourth child and was about to chase him.
Seeing that the four masked men were missing, the fourth child became anxious.
"Why are you holding me? What if they are not good for the master?"
"Don't you see their kung fu? Even if we catch up, the two of us are no match for the four of them."
The second brother analyzed. One-on-one, they might still have a chance of winning, but now it's two against four.
"Look at the traps they set, they are harmless. If the clamps at the bottom of the pit were replaced with spikes, and the flying beams were replaced with thorn platoons, would these people still be alive? Even the officers and soldiers who were chasing them could not survive.
If he can be let go, it shows that he is not a treacherous and evil person."
The fourth child looked at the officers and soldiers lying on the ground. Although they had all fainted, no one was seriously injured. What the second child said was true, but it was about the safety of his master, and he did not dare to be careless.
The second child said again:
"Besides, if they really want to harm the master, do you think the two of us can still stand here well?"
"But we haven't found out where the children who were sent away have gone. Now the clues have been cut off."
The fourth child was unwilling to give in. Not only did they fail to complete the task assigned by their master, they also let go of uncertain factors.
The second child patted the fourth child on the shoulder.
"Let's go, let's settle the children in the cave first, and then make plans. Aren't they going to come to collect money in the afternoon?"
The fourth child thought of those poor orphans and had no choice but to put the matter of tracking the masked man aside for now.
The two of them rushed to the cave where the children had lived before and peeled off the weeds and branches. The children inside screamed in fright and hugged each other.
"Don't be afraid, we are good people and are here to save you."
The two of them quickly spoke out to comfort them.
The children looked at the two of them warily, and the timid ones were still sobbing.
It was because the people who had just rescued them from the Licheng compound were four masked people, and their clothes were different from the two people in front of them.
The second child was afraid that these children would run around on the road, so he hurriedly asked them.
"Which of you knows Wen Yang?"
The children looked at each other, wondering if the person in front of them was a bad person, and no one dared to admit it.
"Erhu?" The second child said another name.
Now, more children responded. The second child kept up his efforts.
"Goudaner?"
Although the master changed Goudan'er's name, the children in front of him didn't know it. They could only use his original name first.
"They, where are they? Are they all dead?"
There was an older child who took the lead in asking questions with courage.
It turned out that we really knew each other, the second child smiled at these children.
"They are all living well and living together now. Come with us and go find them together, okay?"
"Are you trying to lock us up again?"
Once these children are bitten by a snake, they will be afraid of well ropes for ten years. Their vigilance has not diminished at all.
"I'm telling you, you little brat, if we want to harm you, wouldn't it be easier to just tie you all up with a rope? Is there any need to talk nonsense to you here?"
The fourth child was still thinking about arranging these little guys quickly so that he could track down the four mysterious masked men, but he was not as patient as the second child. Unexpectedly, his words had an effect.
These children rolled their eyes and felt that what the fourth child said made sense. They all had swords on them. If you wanted to harm them, there was really no need to talk nonsense to them.
"Hand in hand, let's go find Brother Wen and the others together."
The older child directed the other children, and they quickly held hands and looked at the second and fourth children.
The second and fourth children looked at each other and came out of the cave with satisfaction. Sure enough, they learned a lot from their experience. If these children can be educated well, they will not be bad in the future.
But I didn't expect that the two of them would become the kings of children when they went out with their master this time.
Just when the two of them went to settle the child again, Jun Hongyan in the cell finally waited for the cell leader to bring him water and food.
When the other prisoners saw the food, they all devoured it. Only Jun Hongyan was interested in the bowl of water. He took the bowl and washed his face with all the water in it.
"Someone, come quickly!"
"What is the ghost howling for? Are you looking for a beating?"
The cell leader, who had not gone far, turned back impatiently and knocked on the door of Jun Hongyan's cell.
Jun Hongyan pointed at his face, which was still dripping with water.
"Look, look carefully, who is this king?"
The prison boss scratched his head, frowned and took a closer look. He looked familiar. Where had he seen it before?
