Yan Xiaoliu and Ming Xi were naturally not interested in the acrobatics of the common folk, but Ming Yu was watching with great interest. These were all too fresh to her.
Looking at Ming Yu's happy face, Yan Xiaoliu's pursed lips softened.
"Little Six, look, that person can breathe fire."
"Wow, Little Six, look, he's not bleeding even though he's lying on the bed of nails."
"Little Six, he knows how to crush rocks with his chest."
"Little Six …"
When Ming Xi heard his sister's voice, he lifted his eyes and glanced at Yan Xiaoliu. If Ming Yu knew that Yan Xiaoliu was planning to leave, she would definitely be heartbroken.
Yan Xiaoliu did not sense Ming Xi sizing him up. He was patiently talking to Ming Yu, his cold face becoming gentler and gentler. It seemed that no matter what Ming Yu said, he would find it very interesting.
"Ah, my little rabbit is crushed." Ming Yu lowered her head and saw that the lantern in her hand had been squeezed out of shape. She pouted and looked at Yan Xiaoliu with an aggrieved expression.
Yan Xiaoliu said, "I'll bring you to buy a new one."
Ming Yu's watery eyes shone even brighter like the stars. "Okay, okay!"
"Mingxi, I'll bring Mingyu over there to buy lanterns." Yan Xiaoliu lowered his head and said to Mingxi.
"I'll wait for you at the teahouse over there." Ming Xi nodded. He had no interest in acrobatics. There were too many people here. He would rather sit at the teahouse.
"Brother, do you want me to buy you a big tiger lantern?" Ming Yu asked. She felt that her brother would definitely like a big tiger.
Ming Xi wanted to say that he didn't want any lanterns, but seeing Ming Yu's look of anticipation, he could only nod. "Alright."
Yan Xiaoliu carried Ming Yu out of the crowd and carefully protected her in his arms, not letting her be touched.
"Little Six, put me down. I'll walk by myself." Ming Yu said.
"What's wrong?" Yan Xiaoliu put her on the ground. "Are you uncomfortable?"
"You've carried me for a long time. I'll walk by myself," Ming Yu said, smiling at him.
Yan Xiaoliu said softly, "It's okay. I'm not tired."
"Then hug me later." Ming Yu held Yan Xiaoliu's hand. "Let's go."
"Little Six, are you leaving?" Ming Yu recalled what she had just heard from her Imperial Mother. She raised her head to look at Yan Xiaoliu, and her heart instantly ached.
Yan Xiaoliu was stunned for a moment. He said in a low voice, "I have something to do."
"But I can't bear to part with you," Ming Yu said softly. "What are you going to do?"
To find his father! He felt that his father should still be alive.
"Mingyu, I'll come and find you in the future," Yan Xiaoliu said.
"Can I go with you?" Ming Yu asked with a smile.
Yan Xiaoliu shook his head, "No."
The place he wanted to go was too dangerous. She was a noble princess, how could she leave the palace with him?
Ming Yu's eyes reddened and she flung his hand away. "I hate you."
Yan Xiaoliu helplessly looked at Ming Yu who was ignoring him. This little princess had been spoiled by the emperor and her temperament was becoming more and more delicate. However, he felt that her delicate temperament was the most adorable. He didn't have a younger sister. If he had a younger sister, he would probably spoil her like Ming Yu.
"Ming Yu, I'll be back soon." Yan Xiaoliu squatted in front of Ming Yu.
"I don't believe you. Xiaoliu, don't go, okay?" Ming Yu hugged Yan Xiaoliu's neck. She couldn't bear to part with him.
"Ming Yu, I have something very important to do," Yan Xiaoliu said in a low voice.
Ming Yu stomped her feet. "Go! Go! I don't want to talk to you anymore. "
With that said, she ran out, ignoring Yan Xiaoliu who was behind her.
"Ming Yu, Ming Yu!" Yan Xiaoliu hurriedly followed.
The hidden guards who were pretending to be passersby saw the princess run away and hurriedly followed.
In this crowded and bustling place, kidnappers were the most common. If something happened to the princess, even if they had nine lives, they wouldn't be able to accompany her to the grave.
Yan Xiaoliu was the fastest, but there were too many people. With the crowd in front of him, he couldn't stop her no matter how fast he was.
When the kidnappers who had been hiding in the dark saw a little girl like a pearl in the crowd, they were like a cat seeing a fish, and their eyes were about to emit green light.
"Boss, look at that little girl. She's much prettier than the two we caught before. She can definitely be sold for a good price."
"Are you blind? Do you see the people behind her? This little girl looks like she's from a rich family. Don't get yourself into trouble."
"But …"
"Be smart. If we catch two more boys, we can go back for the festival tonight. I'll go over there to take a look."
"This little girl is worth the money of two boys …"
"How about, while the boss isn't here, let's go catch this little girl. Maybe the boss will praise us."
"The two of us will go distract the people behind her. The two of you will go catch that girl."
"Okay …"
Just as Yan Xiaoliu was about to grab Ming Yu's hand, suddenly, two people bumped into him. He looked up and saw a man hugging Ming Yu.
Kidnappers! Yan Xiaoliu's expression changed. He didn't care about anything else and immediately used his strength to break the hands of the two men who were deliberately blocking his path. The sound of bones breaking immediately rang out.
"Protect the princess." He shouted angrily.
The man who was carrying Ming Yu had only taken two steps when he realized that the passersby who looked normal just now were actually holding knives in their hands.
Oh no! They caught someone they shouldn't have caught.
Ming Yu bit the back of the man's hand. "Let go of me, let go of me."
The man's hand was in pain, but he didn't let go. With so many people surrounding them, they couldn't escape even if they wanted to. He didn't hesitate for long before a long sword pierced through his body. Ming Yu escaped from his hand.
"Get out of the way, or I … I'll kill this girl." The other kidnapper saw that his companion was killed in an instant and immediately grabbed Ming Yu in fear. He knew that if he let this little girl go, he would definitely die. He held the dagger in his hand against Ming Yu's neck.
"Ming Yu!" Yan Xiaoliu had already brought the other two kidnappers over. From the looks of it, they were probably half-dead.
"Get out of the way and let us go. I'll return this girl to you."
Yan Xiaoliu nodded without hesitation. Seeing the dagger pierce Ming Yu's soft skin and draw a little blood, he almost stopped breathing. "Okay, you guys go. Don't hurt her."
Ming Yu's safety was the most important. Even if these two kidnappers let them go today, they could still find them tomorrow.
The others all made way. They could easily kill these two people, but they didn't dare to take the risk with the princess's safety.
At this moment, a wave of people swam over. It was too crowded tonight. Not many people noticed the situation here. Even if there were secret guards blocking the crowd, they still couldn't resist the crowd.
The two kidnappers took advantage of the bustling crowd and squeezed into the crowd with Ming Yu in their arms.
Yan Xiaoliu immediately chased after them.
"Master, she seems to be Lu Yaoyao's daughter. We have to save …" Before Luo Cheng could finish his sentence, he saw Lu Lingzhi walking forward.
