Children of Loulan

Chapter 333 Guards

Seeing this, Hanguli stepped forward and helped the little girl up, carefully examining the well-behaved and sensible child in front of her. Although she was dressed in rags, she was quite smart and decent in her speech and behavior. She couldn't help but be curious and asked softly, "Little girl, how old are you this year? Where is your father? And how did you and your daughter fall into the hands of those two villains?"

The little girl answered respectfully, "Madam, I am just five years old this year. My father came to the capital a long, long time ago. Grandma always disliked my mother for not being able to give birth to a younger brother, and she often beat and scolded my mother and me. Later, grandma asked my mother to come to the capital to find my father, saying that she must give birth to a younger brother before she can go home. So, I followed my mother here. But I didn't expect that not long after we arrived here, those two extremely hateful villains suddenly appeared and harassed us!"

After hearing this, Hanguli understood that the mother and daughter had come a long way to look for someone, but before they found the person, they were unfortunately targeted by the two villains. She felt pity and asked softly, "Little girl, you just mentioned that your mother hasn't had a hot meal for a long time, so are you hungry too?"

The little girl nodded obediently, tears glistening in her eyes, and said aggrievedly: "Yes, ma'am. Most of our money was taken away by grandma, leaving only a little money for travel expenses. Later, the two bad guys robbed us of the little money we had left, so we had to endure hunger these days."

Madam Ba, who was standing nearby, saw everything. She naturally understood what Hanguli was thinking at the moment, so she took the initiative to say, "Madam, why don't I go to the kitchen and cook two bowls of steaming hot noodle soup for the mother and daughter, so that they can fill their stomachs and warm their bodies."

Hanguli nodded slightly, thought for a moment and said: "Mammy, let Bayer cook the noodles. Look at this cold winter day, the clothes they are wearing are already tattered, so thin that they can't resist the biting cold wind. So I would like to ask Mammy to buy them a few new clothes and some daily necessities. After all, the shopkeeper is a man, and he must not know much about what women need!"

Upon hearing this, Bayer, who was standing aside, waved his hand and declined hurriedly, saying: "Madam, you might as well let Madam cook the noodle soup first. It won't be too late to purchase items after it's done. And I... I need to stay here to protect you, Madam!" Thinking back to how the two villains almost hurt her, she was still scared and uneasy.

Of course, Aunt Ba knew what Bayer was thinking, so she quickly agreed, "That's right, ma'am. Let Bayer stay here with you. I'll go cook the noodles first, and then go buy things. It's the same!" After that, Aunt Ba looked at Hanguli with a firm gaze, as if telling her that it was no problem for her to do these things alone.

Hanguli knew very well that everyone was so worried about her because they cared about her. However, she was also worried about the nanny working alone. So Hanguli quickly explained: "Look, there is the shopkeeper here to help take care of it, and there are so many people. Besides, it won't be long before the driver will be back, and there will be no problem!"

However, no matter what Hanguli said, Mammy Ba and Bayer could not agree with her point of view. Mammy Ba retorted with a serious face: "Madam, we really don't need this little time to wait! It's better to be safe."

Bayer on the side also echoed: "That's right, ma'am, safety first!" Just like that, both sides insisted on their own opinions and neither was willing to give in.

Just when they were at a stalemate, the medicine boy came over with brisk steps. He said to Hanguli with a smile on his face: "Madam, if you trust me, why not let me prepare meals for this little sister. Yesterday, the shopkeeper bought some fresh meat, and there is still a lot left. I can cook a bowl of delicious meat soup noodles for them!" Hearing the medicine boy's initiative, Hanguli couldn't help but feel relieved!

Meanwhile, in the palace, Keremu had not finished his morning court session. Seeing the urgency of the situation, the driver quickly went to find Ziya. Ziya did not dare to delay a moment after learning about this, and immediately found Baixi, and together with him, he summoned a dozen agile guards. They mounted their horses, raised their whips, and galloped towards Huimin Hall like an arrow from a bow. The sound of horse hooves echoed through the streets, attracting passers-by to look sideways.

As soon as they entered the slum, many residents around them started talking and whispering. You know, this place has always been a gathering place for the lower classes of the capital, and you don't see dignitaries here on weekdays. But today, so many fully armed guards suddenly came in. How could such a scene not arouse curiosity? People speculated that something big was about to happen here.

Bai Xi led a group of well-trained guards with his head held high and came directly to the gate of Huimin Hall. At this moment, many simple and kind people had already heard the news. They carefully hid in various corners and secretly watched, trying to figure out what kind of situation made these usually unattainable people come here.

When Baixi and Ziya walked into Huimin Hall together, the people who were waiting in line to see a doctor and get medicine suddenly became chaotic. They were frightened by the sudden scene and turned pale. They just wanted to flee the scene as soon as possible, fearing that they would be drawn into an unknown vortex and bring themselves unexpected disasters.

Just as everyone was panicking, the shopkeeper sitting behind the counter quickly stood up, waved his hand to signal everyone to stay calm, and said loudly to comfort them: "Don't panic, this is our boss's housekeeper!"

At the same time, Hanguli was chatting with the little medicine boy. The medicine boy was wearing a brand new winter coat that Hanguli had bought for him not long ago, and he looked energetic. The woman who had been unconscious before had now woken up. She looked pale but her expression had regained some calmness.

The lovely little girl beside her snuggled up to her mother, and the mother and daughter enjoyed a bowl of steaming, fragrant shredded pork noodle soup together. Afterwards, under the careful care of Mammy Ba, the woman was arranged to go into the inner room to wash and bathe, and changed into clean and tidy clothes. Taking advantage of this time, the woman slowly told Mammy Ba about her unfortunate experience!

After seeing Baixi and Ziya rushing over, Bayer's tense heartstrings finally relaxed a little and she breathed a sigh of relief. You know, she was the only one who knew martial arts here. If those two hateful guys brought a large group of local hooligans to cause trouble, she was really worried, fearing that she would not be able to protect the Crown Princess by herself.

At this moment, Baixi and Ziya showed up in time, which undoubtedly made all the problems hopeful. Baier hurried forward and told Baixi everything that had happened before in detail. After listening to Baier's narration, Baixi made an immediate arrangement and ordered Ziya to escort the Crown Princess back to the palace safely together with Baier and Ba Mama.
