What did Mo Lin go through before this?

Regarding Xiao Qing Ran's question, even if it wasn't important, he still refused to answer it.

Fortunately, the wind was fast, so he quickly picked up his food and came back.

That didn't make Maureen think she was a kind trafficker.

Xiao Qing Shui allowed Li Er to distribute the food to the children. Seeing them gobbling up the food, Xiao Qing Qing looked at Mo Lin with a smile: "Are you sure you don't want to talk to me?"

Mo Lin clenched his fists and kept quiet, but when he saw the happy faces of the children, he lowered his head.

Xiao Qing knew that her 'favor' wasn't as useless to him as he said. She chuckled, "Come, let's talk outside."

Mo Lin glanced at the children and followed them out on his walking stick.

When he walked out of the run-down temple, Xiao Qingyi had her back facing him and was reaching out her hand to break a dried up branch.

Mo Lin pursed his lips, his tone sounding a bit nervous, "You're really not one of them?"

"If you're talking about Wei Chi's group, then my answer is yes." Xiao Qinglan turned around and looked at him indifferently: "I don't have anything to do with those people."

Mo Lin anxiously said, "You are the Royal Consort, and you are from Beijing?"

A few months ago, he had heard from those people that someone very respectable was coming to the capital.

Xiao Qing Ran nodded again: "You have asked me so many questions, can you please answer one of mine? Why would those people want to capture you? "

Mo Lin pursed his lips and shook his head, "I don't know."

"You don't know?" Xiao Qing Qing's eyes were filled with playfulness.

Mo Lin felt that he could not hide the secret in his heart under her gaze. "I really don't know, but I was almost captured by the officials that time. I heard it from them … The mayor sent these children to the capital as if he wanted to become some spy. I really don't know anything else. "

Xiao Qing furrowed her brows. She could roughly understand the reason behind Wei Chi's actions. These children were not tied down by each other, so after training, they were the easiest to control.

Seeing her expression change, Mo Lin thought that she was angry because of what happened. "These children are all pitiful children without parents. They don't know anything. Can you let them go?"

"I said something bad just now. If you want to blame someone, then blame me. Don't implicate them." He gritted his teeth, feeling extremely nervous.

"I don't care about what happened just now, so you don't need to be afraid. I called you out just to know what you plan to do in the future. "

Mo Lin pursed his lips and shook his head.

In the future? It had never occurred to him that people like them could only say that a day's worth of life was worth a day's worth.

Seeing him like this, Xiao Qing Yun guessed right away. She put her hands together in front of her stomach: "I just saw it, the youngest here is only eight or nine years old. Do you want them to live like this for the rest of their lives? "

"Of course not, but what can I do? "If my legs..." He paused, a pang of pain flashing across his eyes. "People like you don't understand us."

"People like us? You seem to know me very well. " Xiao Qing raised her eyebrows.

Mo Lin did not speak.

Her eyes flashed and she suddenly laughed, "Actually, you can also change your lifestyle. Do you want to know?"

"What?"

"Do something for me." Xiao Qingran spoke in a deep voice: "Do things for me. I will teach you the ability to stop being bullied and change your ways of life so that you can stand upright in this world."

After a series of 'things' that startled Mo Lin, he had never thought that someone would say such things to him.

It was already fortunate that they were no longer bullied, but could they really change their way of life?

Seeing that he did not seem to be forced, Xiao Qing lightly flicked away the non-existent dust at the hem of her clothes: "I won't force you, I just hope that you will consider the matter for those children. "If you agree, then bring them to the forest two miles away from the city gate and wait for me at this time tomorrow."

"I …" Mo Lin opened his mouth, but was unable to come up with an answer within a short period of time.

At this moment, Riko followed the gust of wind out of the broken temple.

"Miss, everything has been delivered. It's getting late, so we should head back. If we go back late, Prince will worry."

"Alright, I understand." Xiao Qingyan nodded her head and said: "I have already given you the chance. If I do not see anyone tomorrow at this hour, even if you give up, everything I just said will not be valid."

She lifted her foot to leave.

Mo Lin's heart sank, and subconsciously shouted, "Is what you said true? You didn't lie to me. "

Xiao Qing Qing turned her back to him, "If you don't believe me, you can stay. However, I want to tell you that you only have one chance. I hope you can make good use of it."

"There's something else that needs to be said first. There is no free lunch in the world ahead, and these things are not for free. You need to pay for them. The choice is up to you."

Mo Lin clenched his fists as he watched them leave. The light in his eyes grew brighter and brighter, as if he had made up his mind.

Walking along the road, Li Er was filled with doubts. "What did Miss say to that child just now?"

"It's nothing. I'm just letting them make a few choices in their lives." Xiao Qingrong pursed her lips as something else flashed past her eyes. "Since we've moved to a different place now, it's time for some of our thoughts to change."

Riko nodded as if she understood something. "I saw that the children's clothes were very thin and the weather is getting colder. Does Miss need me to send someone to deliver some clothes to them?"

"Not now."

"No need? "But those children …"

"If you want to buy something, you'll have to wait a few days. At that time, you won't be able to buy just ten or so items." As Xiao Qing spoke, she ordered the wind: "Go ahead and investigate the number of children who are living like that in the city. Gather them all in the forest, it's the same time."

"Yes."

Although Li Er and Suifeng did not understand the purpose of Xiao Qinggran's actions, they had been under their master for a long time. There was a rule that remained in their hearts.

If the master didn't want to say it, he wouldn't ask. For many things, there was no need to question it. All he needed to do was complete it.

On the other side, Xiao Qingyi and the others returned to the manor.

The news spread like wildfire. Wei Chi knew that she had gone to the slums in the afternoon.

"Lord, that woman ruined our plans. Do you need me to send someone to kill her …"

"Trash!" Wei Chi threw down his cup and interrupted him, "You still think it's not enough for this City Lord, don't you? The child has already been taken away by her, and you guys haven't stopped her on the way. What's the use of settling the score now? "

"Besides, do you think that woman is really as easy to deal with as she looks? Don't you think about who she is? Who she is?

The servant was scolded head to toe, feeling a bit wronged: "But my lord. Although Su Qianhan said that he's from Beijing, he's unfamiliar with this place. Even if we touch the people around him, he probably wouldn't dare to do anything for a woman, right? "

"Idiot, I really don't know why this City Lord took all your pig's brains back then! You only see him alone, but it's hard for you to think about it. Think about it, if he was really kicked out of the capital for committing a crime as they say, without any power or influence. Why would the Emperor send someone to escort them here?

The man was reminded of something, and was immediately enlightened. "City lord means …"

Wei Chi frowned. "This matter is not that simple. Have we received any news from our people in the capital? "

"There's no news yet, but it's going to be soon."

"Well, don't move until there's some news over there."

"What about Xiao Qing Ran?"

"No matter how capable a woman is, she can't create any waves. Just let her be." "But just in case, please leave the slums. Remember not to have any direct confrontation with Su Qianhan."

"Yes, little me understands."

Xiao Qingran had ran outside for an entire day before returning. After having dinner, she went to sleep early and looked very tired.

Su Qianhan asked Xiao Qing about the situation today and she was told the truth. After hearing that, he didn't say anything. He just told her to follow Xiao Qing closely and not to tire her out too much.

Su Qian Han knew her character very well. He knew that she wouldn't sit still and wait for death. Since she started to accumulate connections, it seemed like she wanted to form her own team.

The truth was as Su Qianhan had guessed, these children were young and could be formally taught at a good time.

The next day, Xiao Qing Qing slept until noon before getting out of bed. Su Qian Han had already left for a long time. The man recently needed to talk to those old foxes, which gave her just enough time.

Riko was not here today, but Xiao Qing Ran told her to do something else. Other than proper business, she also wanted to let that girl go. It was inevitable that she would make a move in the afternoon, so if that girl were to be by her side, she would be long-winded.

The Tornado gathered a large number of people, ranging from teenagers to twenties, including both men and women.

The people of the Whirlwind Sect had temporarily built a platform outside the woods. Xiao Qing stood on the platform and looked down. Over two hundred people stood on the platform.

They had been talking about something before, and it had been very noisy.

From this position, Xiao Qing was able to clearly see everyone. Naturally, she also saw the children in the broken temple yesterday.

"Royal Concubine, Uncle Qin and the others said that there are some matters that might be delayed. Your subordinate has already sent people to urge you. " A gust of wind stood beside her and reported.

Uncle Qin and the others were the people Feng had instructed to help her before she left.

"There's no need to rush. Before Master arrives, I need to choose a disciple." Xiao Qing's gaze swept across the group of people below and did not interrupt the noisy discussion below.

The strong wind helped her move a chair over.

Master had said that he was going to stay by the wangfei's side to take care of her and the young mistress in his womb.
