The Regent's Concubine is Crazy

Chapter 378

The little fat man in the space said: "Master, I am tired from traveling during this period of time. It's just a dream, it's nothing."

Shangguan Ziling asked: "What time is it now?"

The little fat boy said: "Master, it's three o'clock in the morning."

Shangguan Ziling lay down again, but she was no longer sleepy. Shangguan Ziling thought of Mo Shaoxie and wondered if a fighting had broken out on the border.

At this time, Mo Shaoxie had not fallen asleep yet. He got up and walked out of the tent, looking at the dark sky, "Ling'er, I miss you so much."

Mo Shaoxie's eyes were gloomy, as if a storm was coming. He looked into the distance, where the Xiliang army was stationed. He led the elite troops of Dongyue Kingdom and confronted the Xiliang army for several days.

The terrain here is dangerous, with rolling mountains and shrouded in clouds and mist, like a natural barrier between heaven and earth.

He couldn't end the war here in a short time, and he missed Ling'er more and more. He didn't know if Ling'er missed him as much as he did. He really wanted to end the war quickly and fly to Ling'er.

Shangguan Ziling was lying on the bed, with all kinds of thoughts churning in her mind. She thought about Mo Shaoxie for a while, and then she thought about the strange dream just now. The chubby little baby kept lingering in her mind, and she couldn't fall asleep in bed.

Suddenly, a strange sound broke the silence of the night.

Shangguan Ziling became alert, got up from the bed, opened the door, and saw Dongqing and Qiukui also opened the door at the same time.

"Master," Qiu Kui and Dong Qing said at the same time.

At this time, the secret guards also appeared one by one.

Shangguan Ziling said: "Go and see what happened?"

When they went downstairs, they saw the lobby of the inn. The leading man shouted loudly: "Hand over all your valuables, otherwise don't blame us for being rude!" His voice was full of threats and intimidation, which made people shudder.

Shangguan Ziling raised her eyebrows and glanced at Qiu Kui and Dong Qing, and they immediately understood what she meant.

At this moment, Qiu Kui suddenly made a move. She moved as fast as the wind, quickly bypassed the table, and grabbed the wrist of a masked man. The man screamed in pain, and the weapon in his hand fell to the ground.

Dong Qing was not to be outdone, he quickly rushed towards the other masked man and punched him hard in the chest. The man was immediately knocked out and hit the wall with a dull sound.

The other guests in the inn were awakened by the sudden screams. They closed their doors and dared not make a sound.

The shopkeeper also hurriedly came out, put on his clothes, and hid behind the counter, his face pale.

After a while, the group of masked men were easily subdued by the secret guards, Qiu Kui and Dong Qing. They tied them up and threw them on the ground, making them unable to move.

Shangguan Ziling walked up to the shopkeeper and asked calmly, "Shopkeeper, do you know them?"

The shopkeeper replied in a trembling voice: "They are hooligans who left the city. They are idle on weekdays and specialize in robbing passing merchants. Once they target you, you can't run away."

Shangguan Ziling frowned after hearing his words. It was obvious that this was not the first time these people committed a crime, and their evil deeds had already caused a lot of trouble and harm to the local people.

"Qiugui, Dongqing, tie them up and send them to the authorities after dawn." Shangguan Ziling ordered.

"Yes." Okra and Holly answered in unison. They acted quickly, tied up the masked men tightly, and dragged them out.

The shopkeeper's face was pale, and he reported the identity and background of the leading man to Shangguan Ziling in a trembling voice.

"Girl, you should leave as soon as it's daybreak." The shopkeeper's voice was filled with helplessness and fear. "The leader of the gangsters is the nephew of the Licheng County Magistrate. If you send him to the government, it will not only be useless, but will cause even greater trouble."

Shangguan Ziling frowned when she heard this.

At this time, the leading man also began to shout arrogantly. "Let me go quickly, or my second uncle will not let you go and will put you all in jail!" His voice was sharp and piercing, as if it was tearing the air apart.

After hearing this, Qiu Kui couldn't hold back any longer. She kicked the man's thigh fiercely, and the man screamed and fell to the ground. His face showed a look of fear and pain. Obviously, he didn't expect Qiu Kui to dare to treat him like this after hearing his identity.

Shangguan Ziling walked up to the man and looked at him coldly, "You are the nephew of a county magistrate, and you dare to be so arrogant. It is obvious that you have harmed the people a lot. I will not let you cry, just beat you up."

As soon as Shangguan Ziling finished speaking, Qiu Kui started beating the man up.

The man lay on the ground, groaning in pain.
