Chapter 33

In the live streaming room —

"Streamer, you're really playing it cool! Is this fatty Mr. Qian? I remember he's from the Heaven and Earth Society's Green Wood Hall!"

"Yes, Mr. Qian is one of the key members of the Green Wood Hall!"

"Speaking of which, why does Mr. Qian call you Deputy Incense Master?"

"Exactly, what the heck is a Deputy Incense Master?"

"Same question, and this pig, is it fed with herbs, eggs, and rice wine? Streamer, you're really playing it cool!"

"This pig seems really valuable."

"Look quickly! Mr. Qian is carrying someone out of the pig!"

"Damn! You really know how to play! Putting a person inside the pig's belly!"

"Damn! According to the plot of 'The Deer and the Cauldron,' is Mr. Qian sending the young princess to the palace?"

"Kneeling to the rich streamer! Is this a remake of 'The Deer and the Cauldron'?"

...

Lin Yi didn't notice the comments in the live streaming room because he was already captivated by the person in Mr. Qian's hands.

Mr. Qian laid the person on the ground. It was a slender, small figure with long hair, a girl around fourteen or fifteen years old, wearing thin clothing. Her eyes were tightly closed, and she was motionless, with only a slight rise and fall of her chest.

Lin Yi couldn't help but ask, "Who is this young girl? Why did you bring her here?"

Mr. Qian replied, "This is the princess of the Mu王府 (Mu Mansion)."

Sure enough, it's the young princess!

Lin Yi thought to himself, his face remaining calm as he gently asked, "The princess of the Mu Mansion?"

Mr. Qian said, "Exactly, the legitimate younger sister of the young lord of the Mu Mansion. The Mu Mansion kidnapped Brother Xu, so we captured this princess to use as leverage, to make sure they don't harm Brother Xu in any way."

Lin Yi asked again, "What happened?"

"The situation is like this..."

Mr. Qian slowly explained that it was due to a conflict between Brother Xu Tianchuan of the Heaven and Earth Society and the people of the Mu Mansion.

The Heaven and Earth Society and the Mu Mansion were both anti-Qing and pro-Ming forces, but they supported different leaders. The Heaven and Earth Society supported the Zheng family in Taiwan.

The Mu Mansion, on the other hand, was the descendant of General Hong Ying from the Ming Hongwu period, who had guarded Yunnan for over two hundred years, and was loyal to the Ming dynasty and the Zhu family.

Due to their differing stances, they had a heated argument, which escalated into a fight.

Lin Yi couldn't help but shake his head. These anti-Qing and pro-Ming forces were really a mess. The Qing dynasty was still in power, and they were already fighting among themselves!

It's no wonder they couldn't achieve anything!

Then, Xu Tianchuan fought with the Bai brothers of the Mu Mansion, accidentally killing Bai Hansong, and was severely injured himself.

After that, Xu Tianchuan went missing.

The Heaven and Earth Society assumed that the Mu Mansion had kidnapped Xu Tianchuan, so they captured the young princess of the Mu Mansion and sent her to the palace.

"Mu Mansion's people had another residence. When we found their hideout, no one from the Mu Mansion was there, and there was no sign of Brother Xu. There were only this young girl and two women serving her. It was a rare opportunity, so..."

Mr. Qian continued to explain.

Lin Yi was speechless, "So you took advantage of the situation and captured her."

Mr. Qian smiled, "Exactly. Although this young girl is small, the Mu Mansion treats her like a phoenix. As long as we have this young princess, Brother Xu will be safe, and they will treat us well."

He paused and added, "This matter is neither big nor small. What to do ultimately depends on the decisions of the Incense Master and the Deputy Incense Master."

"What do you think should be done?" Lin Yi was even more speechless. You've already brought her here, and now you're asking him and Wei Xiaobao for their opinion. What's the point?

He could see through the intentions of the Heaven and Earth Society members. They called him and Wei Xiaobao the Incense Master and Deputy Incense Master out of respect, and on the surface, they were very respectful. In reality, they had already made up their minds.

They would act according to their own plans and then "consult" the Incense Master and Deputy Incense Master, pushing all the responsibility onto them. If anything went wrong in the future, they wouldn't bear much of the blame.

They were all shrewd!

Mr. Qian smiled and said, "The only thing to do now is to hide this young princess in a safe place where the Mu Mansion can't find her.

This time, quite a few people from the Mu family came to the capital, ostensibly to kill the little traitor Wu Yingxiong. But since we killed their people and Brother Xu was taken by them, every place where the Heaven and Earth Society has a foothold is surely being closely watched by them.

They probably know all of our moves."

Lin Yi nodded and said calmly, "So you plan to hide the young princess in the palace?"

Mr. Qian smiled again, "Yes, yes. I hid the young princess in the pig's belly to get past the palace guards and to avoid the Mu Mansion's attention.

Damn, the young lord of the Mu Mansion has some formidable people under him, so we can't be too careful.

If the young princess isn't hidden in the palace, there's a risk they might take her back."

He paused and looked at Lin Yi's face, then added, "Of course, everything depends on the decisions of the two Incense Masters. Hiding her in the palace is the safest place in the world.

No matter how many experts the Mu Mansion has, they can't match the palace guards. The young princess being in the palace is something they would never expect or find out. Even if they did, how could they possibly break into the palace to rescue her?

If they could do that, they could kidnap the Tartar emperor too. That's impossible.

But I acted rashly without consulting the two Incense Masters, bringing the young princess into the palace, which has put the two of you in danger and caused a lot of trouble. I really deserve to be punished."

You know you deserve it!

Lin Yi was speechless. With the girl already here, what could he say? He said calmly, "Alright, leave her here, you can go now."

Mr. Qian was slightly stunned. He had expected the two Incense Masters to blame or complain about their unauthorized actions, but he didn't expect the Deputy Incense Master to be so straightforward.

This left his prepared speech useless.

Mr. Qian picked up the young princess and carried her to the back room, placing her on the bed.

This was originally Hai Dafu's room, but since Hai Dafu had "disappeared," it was now empty.

Mr. Qian said, "When I brought the young princess into the palace, I had already paralyzed her by pressing the Shentang, Yanggang, and Tianzhu acupoints on her back and neck, so she can't move or speak.

If you want to feed her, you can release her acupoints, but it's best to paralyze her legs first to prevent her from escaping.

The Mu Mansion's people are highly skilled. Although this young girl doesn't know much martial arts, we can't be too careful."

Lin Yi nodded. Being proficient in internal martial arts, he knew about acupoints and meridians and had the internal strength to paralyze her easily.

Mr. Qian then took out a butcher's knife, cut two slices of the pig's back and the front legs, leaving them for Wei Xiaobao and Lin Yi to barbecue. The rest he took with two men back to the imperial kitchen.

After Mr. Qian left, Lin Yi, full of curiosity, went to the inner room and looked at the young princess on the bed. His eyes suddenly lit up because the young princess was looking back at him.

The young princess had been keeping her eyes closed, and her face had only shown her delicate features. When she opened her eyes, it was a completely different story.

Her large, watery eyes complemented her facial features perfectly. What a cute girl!

The fans in the live streaming room, seeing this cute girl, immediately flooded the chat with comments. For mobile users, please visit http://m.piaotia.net
