627 They're Here to Kidnap, Not to Play
Gu Nuo'er licked the sugar figurine and walked forward happily.
A hint of gloom flashed across Ren Chao's face. He went forward and reminded her, "Your Highness, it's time to return to the carriage. We still have to return to the palace."
However, Gu Nuo'er shook her head.
Her voice was soft and her face fair and rosy.
"No, Uncle Ren Chao, I have a sugar figurine in my hand. What if I poke myself when the carriage is all wobbly? It's not safe."
After saying that, the child walked around as she ate.
When she saw something, she would reach out her hand and ask for it.
Ren Chao had no choice but to pay.
"Boss, what should we do now? This princess is too difficult to deal with. We don't have that much money and it's easy to expose ourselves." A guard couldn't help but come up and whisper to Ren Chao.
He looked at Gu Nuo'er, who was walking in front and smiling sweetly as she spoke to the stall owner selling malt candy.
Ren Chao gritted his teeth.
"Leave it." He said in a low voice, "It wasn't easy for us to take advantage of the fact that Marquis Yongye is busy now. We have to follow Master's instructions well. Otherwise, if we miss this opportunity, we won't have another chance."
After saying that, the two of them continued to follow behind Gu Nuo'er in a low-profile manner.
Although the little princess refused to get into the carriage, the direction she was walking in was indeed getting further and further away from the palace.
This was considered a good thing.
Ren Chao comforted himself in his heart.
If the little princess walked out of the city gate later, there would be fewer people there. They could take the opportunity to put the princess into a sack and take her away!
After Gu Nuo'er finished eating a sugar figurine, she happened to walk near the city gate that led out of the city.
Ren Chao was overjoyed.
Even the heavens were helping him!
The little princess would definitely not be able to escape today.
However!
Just as Ren Chao was overjoyed…
He heard Gu Nuo'er suddenly call out softly, "Fifth Brother! Why are you here?"
He heard Gu Nuo'er suddenly call out softly, "Fifth Brother! Why are you here?"
Outside the city gate, the fifth prince led a group of soldiers and some officials who looked like they were from the Ministry of Works. He was pointing at the moat.
The fifth prince, Gu Zichen, was wearing a purple brocade robe today. His face was like jade, and his long eyes had a shadow of a smile, carrying a faint gentleness.
When he heard Gu Nuo'er's voice, the fifth prince looked over and walked over with a smile, carrying the child in his arms.
"It's going to be late autumn soon. Father wants to reinforce the moat. Fifth Brother and a few officials are worried that if we want to reinforce the moat, we have to clean up the mud below first. Otherwise, it won't be easy to start work. However, we don't have enough manpower, so we went to the government office to borrow manpower."
Gu Nuo'er immediately looked up, her eyes bright.
"Fifth Brother, what do you think of the nine uncles I brought with me?"
Gu Zichen looked up.
Ren Chao and the few guard-looking men stood rooted to the ground in a daze.
Gu Zichen chuckled. "It's good, but who are they?"
Gu Nuo'er said softly, "That's Uncle Ren Chao. He said that Elder Brother Siming arranged for them to pick me up from school."
Gu Zichen's eyes flickered.
The child continued, "Fifth Brother, let Nuo'er help too. These nine uncles have nothing to do anyway. It's best if they can help you share your troubles!"
Ren Chao clenched his fists tightly.
They were here to kidnap, not to help!
Gu Zichen hugged Gu Nuo'er tightly and looked at these people with a faint smile. "Then I'll have to trouble the guards here. There are shovels over there. You can get to work right away."
Ren Chao and the guards behind him looked at each other.
Should they escape?
However, he then looked at the group of soldiers behind the fifth prince.
They wouldn't be able to escape and would only be caught immediately.
Ren Chao could only grit his teeth, pick up the shovel with hatred, and jump into the cold moat.
The water reached his thighs.
In her brother's arms, Gu Nuo'er even clapped her small hands and smiled. "Fifth Brother, look, Uncle Ren Chao is so motivated!"
