Above the stars

"What's all the fuss about?" Sheng Xinhuai looked at Mei Yuyin's surprised expression and felt a little guilty. She pretended to be strong and said: "I am already so old and my body has matured long ago. Find a man. What’s wrong with Wanwan?”

It's just a bit pitiful for Brother Tang Bandit. For the sake of his own freedom, he can only be forced to make a small sacrifice.

Just a reputational sacrifice.

Sheng Xinhuai didn't think about her reputation. After all, she didn't really have a reputation.

It was rumored that she slept with whomever she saw wherever she went.

If 'sleeping' was replaced by 'drinking', she really couldn't refute it.

Snapped!

Mei Yuyin slapped Sheng Xinhuai on the arm and said excitedly: "My dear daughter, you finally figured it out."

"."

Sheng Xinhuai felt that there was an ambiguity in what her mother said. She had figured it out, not figured it out.

But I felt relieved when I thought that my mother probably couldn't imagine the meaning.

"You used to play with Phoenix all day long, and I was worried that there was something wrong with your sexual orientation. Two girls live together. What fun is there?"

"Now it seems that I have overthought it. My daughter has no problem at all. Living together is good, and it's time to live together. Although you are a few years older than Tang Bandit, you still have three girls and gold bricks. This is a big deal. The old saying that was popular on Blue Star before the disaster still makes sense."

"I'm several years older than him."

"You can hold a gold nugget at the age of three. Isn't it more valuable at the age of six? I'm not asking you to get married now. I just want to live together to cultivate your relationship first and see if it's suitable."

Sheng Xinhuai squinted his eyes and looked at Mei Yuyin, and asked aloud: "Do you really want your daughter to go out and live with someone else?"

"Isn't this a matter of time? What woman has not experienced this?" Mei Yuyin said matter-of-factly: "Besides, only when there is a man to take care of us can we rest assured. If you are allowed to live alone, Outside, that’s absolutely impossible.”

"Aren't you afraid that your precious daughter will fall into the trap of a predator?"

"I've seen that kid from Bandit Tang. He looks very polite, and he's very measured in what he says and does. I can't tell who is the wolf and the tiger between you two."

"I know your temperament, which is quite arrogant and wild. In the future, you should restrain yourself and live a good life with other bandits. Don't be petty and drink less."

"."

Sheng Xinhuai looked at Mei Yuyin with doubtful eyes. When did Tang Bandit bribe his family?

I rarely come here to play. I only go there to walk around during holidays.

Why did Lao Mei pretend that my son-in-law must be a Tang bandit?

If she knew that she and Tang Bandit were just "playing", wouldn't she be furious?

"Tang Bandit was injured because he came back to rescue you."

"Are you injured?" Sheng was shocked and asked anxiously: "Where is the injury? Is it serious?"

"It's okay, just my arm was a little injured, and it has been treated. If it was serious, wouldn't I have told you a long time ago?"

"Where are the Tang bandits?" Sheng Xinhuai asked aloud.

"It seems that he was picked up by the palace, and your father also entered the palace with him."

"Oh." Sheng Xinhuai nodded in understanding.

He and Tang Bandit came out of the palace and were kidnapped.

Has anyone leaked their whereabouts?

Besides, the Tang bandit worked for the royal family, and she was the daughter of the Prime Minister.

The two of them were kidnapped in Phoenix, which in itself was an extremely serious incident.

The police stations, Phoenix Police Department, Transportation Bureau and various security departments in various places also have to bear corresponding responsibilities.

Today they can kidnap themselves and the Tang bandits, and tomorrow they can kidnap Zhong Tianque and Zhong Daolong.

Their heads should be chopped off.

"You can sleep a little longer." Mei Yuyin looked at Sheng Xinhuai and said, "The doctor said that you can't be discharged from the hospital until all the toxins in your body are eliminated."

"How long have I been sleeping?" Sheng Xinhuai asked aloud.

"Two days."

"Two days? Why did I sleep for so long?"

"The doctor said that the poison you were poisoned with is very powerful. It's called 'Qianji Powder'. If you are allowed to wake up naturally, it will take a week."

"The doctor gave you anti-toxin and several bottles of detox liquid, which can speed up the excretion of toxins, so you can wake up so quickly. Otherwise, you would have slept."

Sheng Xinhuai closed his eyes and said, "I feel a little weak. I'll sleep for a while."

"Okay, go to sleep, I'll stay with you."

"You don't have to accompany me anymore. You should go and rest. You have dark circles under your eyes."

Mei Yuyin is a beauty lover. When her daughter said she had dark circles under her eyes, she quickly took out her phone and took a photo.

But he insisted: "I'd better stay with you. If anything happens to you, I'll be there to take care of you."

"The doctors and nurses will be here soon, what can happen?" Sheng Xinhuai knew that he was staying at the Imperial Maritime Hospital. The medical conditions of this hospital were very good, equivalent to the royal hospital.

With her status and status living here, she will naturally receive special care.

After all, hospitals also need support from the Ministry of Finance.

"You sleep on your own and leave me alone. If I'm sleepy, I'll just take a nap on the bed next to me." Mei Yuyin said aloud.

Sheng Xinhuai knew Lao Mei's stubborn temper, so he stopped trying to persuade him and closed his eyes to rest.

The unspeakable erotic dream just now resurfaced in my mind for no reason. Well, luckily it was just a dream——

Phoenix Palace.

When Zhong Daolong saw the medical bandage on Tang Bandit's arm, his eyes froze and he asked aloud: "Is the injury serious?"

"It's just a skin injury, I don't want to worry the king." Tang Bandit said modestly.

When he was fighting Xie Qianqing, his arm was cut open by his sword energy.

The injury was not serious, but some manipulations were done during the bandaging.

Originally, it would be just fine to apply some healing potion, but he had to wrap it up with three layers of protective tape inside and outside.

It was as if that arm might fall off at any moment.

The more humble Tang Bandit became, the more Zhong Daolong thought that Tang Bandit was seriously injured and just didn't want to cause trouble to him.

Thinking of this, he became even more satisfied with Tang Bandit.

If this boy didn't miss his precious daughter, he would really be a talented person.

"I'm here to make a statement. No matter who did this, we must investigate to the end." Zhong Daolong said angrily.

"Catch that Xie Qianqian and the mastermind behind it will naturally come to light." Sheng Jing said aloud: "It depends on whether our security department has that ability."

He usually only pays attention to the matters in his finance department, and rarely interferes with matters in other fields.

However, this time the gangsters kidnapped not only the Tang gangsters, but also his only daughter Sheng Xinhuai.

This move offended the old comrades, and Sheng Jing was unscrupulous when he opened fire.

Chen Fenglei is the person in charge of the royal family's security. After hearing Sheng Jing's words, he said with an embarrassed look: "We have already wanted Xie Jianqing nationwide. As long as he dares to show up or leave any clues, we will kill him as soon as possible." Apprehended and brought to justice.”

"Stop bragging. Did you find out that Her Royal Highness the Princess was attacked in the old land? Years ago, Her Royal Highness the Princess was robbed and killed in the Sky Realm. Did you catch him again?"

"You can't solve Her Royal Highness's case, but you can solve my daughter's case?"

"."

Chen Fenglei lowered his head in fear, not daring to argue with him.

This old guy was so ruthless that he stabbed his lungs with a knife.

Zhong Daolong glanced at Chen Fenglei and said, "Did you remember what Prime Minister Sheng said?"

"Remember it." Chen Fenglei bowed and replied.

"Go down and do some business."

"Yes." Chen Fenglei bowed deeply, turned around and walked out.

After Chen Fenglei left, Zhong Daolong looked at Tang Bandit and asked, "What do you think?"

Tang Bandit looked at Zhong Daolong with a solemn expression and said loudly: "It must be the Lu family and the Yu family."

"Oh? Tell me." Zhong Daolong said noncommittally.

His original intention was to pick out the Yu family. The Yu family was his in-laws and their true royal relatives. Even though the queen was gone, he didn't think about taking action against his in-laws.

However, now the Tang bandits have tied the Yu family and the Lu family together.

If he spoke for the Yu family, it would be like pointing the finger at the Lu family.

It's easy to get into trouble.

He just couldn't figure it out. Why did the Yu family get involved in the situation inexplicably?

"There are two people who kidnapped us, one is named Mo Fan and the other is named Xie Qianqing. They kidnapped us not to get anything, but to kill people and silence us. It was purely to vent their anger."

"Mo Fan is a small person. I was eager to save people, but accidentally killed him. But that Xie Qianqian is a long-established big shot in the spiritual world. I am no match for him even if I try my best."

"Not only was he injured, but he also escaped. I think someone who can recruit such a big shot must have a good background."

"But, how long have I been in Xinxing? I have never offended any big shot. That is, after I joined the Supervisory Yuan as an official, I investigated the cases of the Lu family and the Yu family."

Zhong Daolong frowned and asked aloud: "Is there another possibility? Someone wants to add fuel to the flames?"

"This possibility cannot be ruled out." Tang Bandit said aloud: "The king asked me what I thought. I just reported my personal thoughts to the king truthfully."

"I will let Chen Fenglei be responsible for investigating the kidnapping case. No matter what, those guys with ulterior motives must be punished."

"You can handle your case with peace of mind, and the work of the Oversight Yuan cannot do without you."

"Yes." Tang Bandit readily agreed. This result was already within his expectation. "I follow the king's arrangements."

"Of course, I can't let my subordinates who work hard to bleed and shed tears." Zhong Daolong thought for a while and said: "Don't you hold the position of deputy captain of the Palace Guards? I will help you remove that subtitle now. "

"As for the positions within the Supervisory Yuan, Dean Yan will make some adjustments. You have performed outstandingly in recent times and should be promoted. Of course, this is a matter within the supervisory system. It is up to you, Dean Yan, to consider it."

"Thank you, Lord." Tang Bandi bowed and said with gratitude.

Zhong Daolong was very satisfied with the attitude of the Tang bandits. He had no grievances or complaints.

He would burst into tears of gratitude for the slightest favor.

Unlike those children from aristocratic families, all of them are ignorant white-eyed wolves.

If only I didn't miss my daughter

"Okay, you go back to recuperate. Wait until your body has fully recovered before going to work. I will help you ask for leave from Dean Yan."

"Thank you, Lord. My health is fine and I want to go to work tomorrow."

"Okay, as you wish."

After Tang Bandit left, Zhong Daolong looked at Sheng Jing and said with a smile: "Old Sheng, I heard that Tang Bandit has a good relationship with your family? What's the matter? Do you want this kid to be your family's son-in-law?"

Sheng Jing's heart suddenly sank, thinking, is the king jealous because of the close relationship between Tang Bandit and his daughter?

After all, I heard that the relationship between Tang Bandit and Princess Phoenix was also very good, and there were rumors of a scandal for a while.

However, he immediately ruled out this possibility.

Based on his understanding of Zhong Daolong, it was impossible for the king to let his daughter marry a poor boy with no foundation. She should bear more important responsibilities.

Sheng Jing said with a smile: "It's up to the young people to decide for themselves. If they are really willing to come together, I, as a father, will give my full support. Who told me to only have this precious daughter?"

"I'm so envious." Zhong Daolong sighed softly.

I don’t know if the “envy” he refers to is envy for Sheng Xinhuai’s freedom in marriage, or Sheng Jing’s freedom as a father.

——

Jinsha Ancient Alley. Number seventy-one.

In an antique courtyard, a woman with a voluptuous figure and a gauze face was playing the piano.

Her skin is like frost and snow, and her phoenix eyes are full of emotion.

Her real face cannot be seen clearly, but her smile and sultry figure are enough to make people imagine that she is a stunning beauty.

She was playing the guqin song "Yangguan Song" from thousands of years ago. She leaned forward, as if she wanted to merge herself with the phoenix-tailed qin.

With slender fingers moving, a clear and clear voice came out.

The long pavilion is filled with willows, the morning rain in Weicheng is lightly covered with dust, and the guest house is green and the willows are new. I advise you to drink a glass of wine and leave Yangguan in the west without any old friends.

She vividly expressed the sadness and reluctance to say goodbye in this piece.

Before the song was over, a maid in palace attire hurried over, saluted respectfully, and said, "Master, Mr. Chen is here."

clang!

There was a heavy sound, and the string broke and the sound disappeared.

The woman sighed softly and said, "You have few close friends. Who will listen when the string is broken?"

She stood up and said aloud: "General Manager Chen is here, how can we lose etiquette? Come on, let's pick him up together."

The woman took two pretty maids and took two quick steps, and happened to bump into Chen Fenglei who took the elevator into the house from the underground parking lot.

The woman bowed and saluted, and said in a gentle and clear voice: "Mr. Chen, I haven't seen you for a while, but you are still so energetic. I don't know what magical skills the manager has practiced, but he looks younger and younger. It really makes us women So envious."

"Whether I can cheer up depends on the palace master's ability to do things."

Chen Fenglei's face was gloomy, a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said in a deep voice: "Where is Xie Qianqian? Give him to me."
