Chapter 579 - Tsukisho-sama Chitose 4
Luo Ci stretched out her other hand and touched the jade pendant on her neck. It was very small and made of suet white jade. It felt very round and comfortable to the touch.
Kind of like the yin and yang fish in the Tai Chi map.
She didn’t know the meaning of this jade pendant before…
The small hand held the jade pendant silently, she couldn’t help but think that it should be a fragment that would have so many connections with her.
“Father, what’s the name of the one who owns the other half of the jade pendant?”
King Huai’an only thought that she was curious, and replied warmly, “His surname is Chu, and he has a single name.”
Chu executive.
He seemed to have remembered something, and Qing Jun’s eyes filled with a smile, “Second Senior Sister and your mother-in-law have thought of many names for this name, and are going to let the child arrest Zhou, but the master named him, and he was arrested again when the moon was full. The yin jade in that pair of jade pendants.”
King Huai’an looked down at Luo Ci with a gentle smile, “You have Yang Yu in your hand.”
Yang jade is mutton fat white jade, Yin jade is white jade bottom black jade, and the texture is excellent.
After talking, the father and daughter returned to her small courtyard. Prince Huai’an placed his palm lightly on her head, and his eyes were a little lost, but he still had a gentle smile on his face, “Xiao Ci went back to the room. have a rest.”
Even though he didn’t want to go back to the deserted and empty main courtyard, he really wanted to spend more time with his daughter.
Luo Ci reached out and hugged her father, but she was a little short at the age of eight, and she could reach his waist. Her voice was soft, “Good night, father.”
King Huai’an’s pupils trembled slightly, and after a long pause, he followed her example and replied, “Good night Xiaoci.”
It was not until she entered the room that King Huai’an left. His pace was slow, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, his handsome and warm face was calm and tired, like a numbness that looked down on life and death, and his figure under the moonlight was somewhat lonely.
Just thinking of her daughter who suddenly became cheerful, her eyes brightened.

The King of Huai’an filed a leave of absence with the monarch. He has a special status and is gracious to the current sage. The sage gave him a special honor, so he could not go to court often.
But in fact, he is also afraid of him. If King Huai’an does not go to court and does not get involved in politics, he will not have too many supporters and will not threaten the emperor’s rule.
Before leaving, Prince Huai’an arranged the palace very well, so that no one would attack the Prince Huai’an mansion while he was leaving the palace to attack the army.
Before dawn, he took Luo Ci and set off in a carriage.
This time, everything was simple, except for the four confidants and Luo Ci’s personal maid, Ming Cui, with no other entourage.
The four confidants are all strong in martial arts, so they can avoid being attacked by young people on the way. As for Ming Cui, it was because King Huai’an worried that he would not be able to take good care of Luo Ci on the road, so he let her accompany him.
Lingwu Mountain Villa is a bit far from the Huai’an Prince’s Mansion. It takes about three days to travel at the speed of a horse-drawn carriage, and it will probably arrive around noon.
Without the guidance of the disciples of the villa, outsiders could not enter, or they could not find it at all.
After getting into the carriage, Luo Ci was still sleepy and kept yawning. King Huai’an stroked Luo Ci’s hair and said apologetically in a warm voice, “Let’s sleep on your father’s side, Xiaoci.”
Their identities are not destined to reveal their whereabouts, and they must be careful.
“…Well.” She was young after all, and the child was more sleepy, and fell asleep on his lap after a while.
King Huai’an gently adjusted her posture, took out a blanket to cover her, and then took out the scroll from the cassette and looked at it slowly.
They did not hire a coachman, but two henchmen replaced the coachman. There were a total of two carriages, Ming Cui was alone in the carriage, and the other two confidants rode the horses.
At first, Mingcui was not willing. She felt that she was a slave. How could she sit in the carriage alone and let the prince’s confidant drive the car. Later, one of the confidants pulled her up with a cold face.
Probably afraid that she would not be used to it, the confidant also sat in the carriage and said blankly, “Is it alright now?”
But it was even more embarrassing for a man and a woman to live together in a carriage.
The road was a little bumpy. King Huai’an and the four of them practiced martial arts all the year round, and once fought foreign enemies on the battlefield. This bump was just a drizzle to them.
But for Luo Ci, who was only eight years old, and Ming Cui, who had never traveled far, and whose daily task was to serve the little county master, it was a lot of torture.
But Mingcui just endured it silently. When he found an inn to sleep at night, he also took care of the daily life of the little princess first, and then he had the time to adjust his state.
She always remembered that she didn’t go out to play in the mountains and waters, her responsibility was to take care of the little princess.
Mingcui seems to have a softer temperament, but there is a sense of toughness in her bones.
On the first day of staying at the inn, Luo Ci and Ming Cui shared a room, and King Huai’an lived next to them, lest someone sneak attack and not immediately notice.
Today’s world is not peaceful, all forces are in a wait-and-see state, and if there is only one fuse, the world will be in chaos.
There has not yet been a force strong enough to fight against all other forces in this world, and not many people are jealous of that dragon chair. Due to the fact that the power is too scattered, King Huai’an can’t guarantee that he can hide from everyone’s eyes. This can be regarded as a precaution.
In the dead of night, a few uninvited guests appeared in the inn. They barely made a sound, and found the room where Luo Ci was very accurately. They groped in the dark and wanted to walk towards the bed.
The purpose was not to kill people, but to kidnap Luo Ci and threaten the King of Huai’an.
Sensing the unfamiliar aura, Luo Ci woke up alertly, she was motionless and made no sound.
She is not too worried about her safety. After all, no one can hurt her, but Mingcui is sleeping on the soft couch on the other side. Those people happen to pass by her. If Mingcui wakes up during this period, she makes a sound to stimulate those People may choose to silence.
It is not difficult to imagine that the father and the four subordinates have high martial arts skills, so these people hardly made a sound, and did not choose to smoke, just to avoid fighting with the father and the others, and the purpose was to capture her alive.
When she was distressed, she suddenly heard the sound of Mingcui turning over and seemed to be babbling. Those people all turned their attention to Mingcui, as if to see if she was awake.
At night, the cold white sword shone on Mingcui’s face, allowing the assassin to see her facial expression clearly, but she looked like she had a sweet dream and did not notice the danger at all.
The sword light stayed for a while before the assassin retracted his gaze and continued to walk towards the bed.
There were three assassins in total, two guards, and one kidnapped the daughter of King Huai’an.
When the assassin lightly walked towards the bed, the two assassins at the door died. After all, there was a little noise, which alerted the assassin. When he was about to turn back, a silver needle passed through his head, and the body He was picked up by someone later, who stayed for a while before leaving the room.
