Chapter 202 Chu Li follows Mu Jiangge

Mu Jiangge unclenched her fist. Opposite her stood a handsome man with single eyelids. It turned out to be the man who lost his purse.

Mu Jiangge put his hands on his hips and asked, "Are you not smart enough?"

The person whose things were stolen actually helped the thief.

The man's eyes were gentle, "My lord, you misunderstood. I let him go on purpose in order to find their lair."

Mu Jiangge tilted his head and asked, "Are you a constable?"

The man shook his head. "No, the court is recruiting soldiers. These little thieves are stealing in the capital. They might as well join the army."

Mu Jiangge sneered, "You think you are a Bodhisattva, but they are just petty thieves who can never achieve anything great."

The man smiled and said, "Sir, where is your purse?"

Mu Jiangge looked down and immediately got furious, "How dare you, you little bastard, steal my things!"

The man put away his face scarf. "They are good at disguise and are very skilled. They can get information and steal things. They are amazing!"

Mu Jiangge nodded, "It's really amazing. This is the first time I've lost a purse."

The man smiled faintly, "Sir, why don't you come with me to meet them."

Mu Jiangge immediately became interested, "Okay!"

The two chased into the alley, and Mu Jiangge saw cinnabar on the ground.

"My dear, I didn't realize you were so smart. Put cinnabar in the purse, and some of it will fall out when the thief runs."

When the man heard Mu Jiangge praising him, he smiled slightly, "Young Master, you have amazing observation skills. You actually guessed it."

Mu Jiangge smiled brightly, "My cousin told me this. He told me to put some cinnabar in my wallet so that I can leave a mark if I run into danger."

"Your cousin is also a thoughtful person." The man praised.

Mu Jiangge said proudly, "Of course, among all the men in Da Chu, the one I admire most is my cousin!"

Speaking of Chu Li, she became more and more excited, "My cousin is very good at martial arts and archery, and he can also write good poems. He is proficient in both civil and military strategies. He is the person I admire most!"

The man looked at the handsome and high-spirited young man Mu Jiangge, "Now that you put it that way, I'd like to meet your cousin."

Mu Jiangge smiled brightly, "I'll introduce you to him when I get a chance. I saw that you were fair-skinned and thought you were a scholar, but I didn't expect you to be so good at fighting. By the way, what's your name?"

The man said calmly, "My name is Xie Jingchuan."

Mu Jiangge's head suddenly buzzed. Xie Jingchuan, could it be Xie Jingchuan, the son of Marquis Jingyang?

She had heard about this man from her grandfather, who said that he was a young talent with great martial arts skills.

Grandfather kept praising Xie Jingchuan and said that it would be her blessing if she could marry a man like Xie Jingchuan who was a martial arts master but behaved in a very low-key and steady manner.

However, she didn't like this type of man. She always felt that Xie Jingchuan was a bit like her uncle.

What's the difference between living with such a person and marrying your uncle?

No, no, no, she is a woman as strong as an eagle and she must never get married.

"May I know what your name is, sir?" Xie Jingchuan asked.

Mu Jiangge smiled awkwardly, "My name is Jiang Ge, Jiang means ginger, Ge means singing."

Xie Jingchuan silently memorized the name.

This young man is very handsome, and I would say he is handsome yet gorgeous.

It is pleasing to the eye at first glance.

Moreover, this person has a strong sense of justice. If we meet again in the future, he may take the initiative to show goodwill and become friends with him.

Mu Jiangge didn't think the same way as Xie Jingchuan. She thought silently in her heart that if this Xie Jingchuan was really the prince of Jingyang Marquis's Mansion, then she would never see him again next time.

Otherwise the old man would match you up with other girls randomly again.

The two quickly followed the cinnabar traces and found the thief's whereabouts, which turned out to be an abandoned temple.

After the thief opened the purse, he found that in addition to a silver ingot, he also touched a handful of cinnabar.

"Oh no, I've fallen into a trap! Quick, that man might be a constable, let's go quickly."

The other ragged teenagers said, "But we can't just ignore sick Uncle Hu!"

"Let's go first and come back after they leave." The leading young man stared.

"Okay, let's go quickly!" Several people agreed.

"Hey, where are you going?" Mu Jiangge's voice rang out.

The leading thief saw that the man standing on the wall with a gangster look on his face was the one who had been chasing him just now.

He immediately protected the other people behind him and said, "I am responsible for my own actions. It has nothing to do with them."

Mu Jiangge clapped his hands and jumped down from the wall. "You have guts, Brother Xie, you didn't make a mistake!"

Xie Jingchuan pushed the door open in a gentle and elegant manner.

The thief's pupils shrank, it turned out to be the owner of the purse.

He took out his purse and said, "I stole your purse. I'll return it to you. I can go to the government with you, or I can accept the punishment!"

Xie Jingchuan smiled calmly and asked, "Why did you steal the money? If you need money, you can earn it yourself."

The thief looked frustrated. "Uncle Hu worked as a laborer for the rich families every day. It was very hard for him to earn money. We were not yet adults, so they looked down on us because we were too small and skinny, and refused to hire us. We saw that Uncle Hu was so tired that his back could hardly stand up straight, and he was often sick, so we stole..."

"We also thought about selling ourselves to a wealthy family as slaves, but Uncle Huber didn't want to."

The thief lowered his eyes and said, "Uncle Hu has gradually become ill. We can't make any money by relying on us. Uncle Hu's life can't wait. We have stolen the purse several times recently."

Mu Jiangge saw that there was indeed a person lying on the thatched pile in the house.

The other young men begged, "Please, gentlemen, we are willing to do hard labor to repay you. Uncle Hu is the one who adopted us. He is as close to us as our own father. Unfortunately, he is dying soon."

"Don't talk nonsense! Huber won't die!"

Some of the young men stiffened their necks and wiped away their tears.

"What disease does he have?" Xie Jingchuan asked.

"It's a terminal illness. He won't survive." The leading thief said with tears in his eyes, "I shamelessly stole your money. I think you look like a rich man and you shouldn't care about this little money. But for Uncle Hu, maybe if he can take a few more doses of medicine, he can live a few more days."

Mu Jiangge frowned, "What terminal illness? I'll help you find a doctor. Anyway, no matter what you say, stealing is always wrong!"

The little thief's eyes dimmed as he said, "Master, we are really at our wit's end. I have consulted several doctors, but they all said that there is no hope for him. They said that even if the Great Immortal came, it would be useless."

Suddenly, a person jumped down from the tree in the yard. Mu Jiangge's eyes lit up instantly when he saw Chu Li.

However, she did not dare to reveal the relationship between herself and Chu Li.

It would be very embarrassing if Xie Jingchuan recognized her.

"Mr. Li!" Mu Jiangge spoke first.

Xie Jingchuan looked in the direction of the voice and saw Chu Li, dressed in white and whose gender was difficult to tell.

He was stunned for a moment. There was actually a man who was so handsome.

Moreover, this person must have followed them quietly all the way, and he didn't even notice it.

This person's martial arts must be very powerful.

When the thief saw more people coming, he was nervous. The incense in the dilapidated temple where they lived had been cut off, so why did so many people come today?

Moreover, the androgynous young man who had just arrived was looking at him and asking him, "What disease is so difficult to cure? Take me to see it."

Mu Jiangge pulled Chu Li over and said in a voice that both of them could hear: "Cousin, you don't know any medical skills, let's go, Master Xie will take care of it."

Chu Li looked at Mu Jiangge's embarrassed look and wondered: This girl must be hiding something.

She is so enthusiastic on weekdays, but today she has learned to pass the buck.

Could it be that she has some relationship with this Mr. Xie?

Chu Li, who is rebellious and gossipy, decides to stay and take a look.

After all, when she overheard that the other person was Xie Jingchuan, she instantly became interested.
