How could my childhood sweetheart be the current empress?

Finally, I wish you all a happy reading.

Chapter 188 Tong'er's Master

"Tong'er, is she your master?"

Xu Chengling looked at the little girl sitting in front of him. She had a round face, a pair of big watery eyes, delicate facial features that were a little childish, and skin as pink as a baby's.

No matter how you look at it, she only looks to be about ten years old. How could she be Tong'er's master?

Wait, Xu Chengling looked carefully and saw that the little girl was looking at him with a smile. Her sharp eyes did not look like those of a ten-year-old girl.

And if you look closely, you will find that the little girl looks somewhat similar to the white-haired witch who assassinated the empress. She looks like the witch when she was a child.

The white-haired witch, her hair must be white, but she clearly has black hair.

But then he thought, if a little girl in her teens was staring at a head of white hair, it would be too conspicuous, and Tongxin also had the ability to change hair color.

If he is really Tongxin's master, then she must know some skills in hair dyeing.

"Although the Master's appearance has changed a bit, this dangerous aura can only be felt by the Master."

Tong Xin nodded, staring at the seemingly harmless little girl in front of her like a kitten with its fur standing up.

"Tong'er, I have taught you some skills after all. I feel so sad when you look at me like this."

The little girl couldn't help but sigh softly and reached out to pat Tongxin's shoulder.

As a result, Tongxin hid behind Xu Chengling like a frightened kitten.

This reaction was like a mouse seeing a cat. She seemed very afraid of this master.

In Tongxin's memory, her master was like a devil, ordering her around in various ways every day, and the training was also devilish, such as training her to do horse stance in shorts in the middle of winter.

Rather than training her, it seemed more like she thought of some perverted way of playing and immediately used it on her apprentice.

Fortunately, Tong Xin was lucky enough to be strong enough and was not killed by her.

In the master's words, Tongxin was the only disciple she had picked up who could live beyond the age of ten.

In short, her way of playing is very perverted, the kind of perversion that cannot be described in words.

Seeing that Tongxin was so afraid of her, Luo Xinlian shrugged helplessly. She was not a devil, so why should he be so afraid of her?

"The plain noodles are here. Three servings in total."

At this time, the waiter brought three bowls of plain noodles and placed them on the table.

"Wow, finally I have something to eat. I've been starving for almost two days."

When she saw the Yangchun noodles being served, Luo Xinlian's eyes lit up and she started eating with big mouthfuls, completely disregarding her personal image.

It was not enough to finish eating. She looked at the bowl of plain noodles on Tongxin's table and asked:

"Tong'er, do you want to eat it or not? If you don't want to eat it, the master will give it to you."

At this time, Tongxin had not yet recovered from the shock. Seeing that she did not say anything, Luo Xinlian assumed that she agreed.

Just as she was about to snatch the bowl of plain noodles from Tong Xin, Xu Chengling held her delicate little hand and said with a smile:

"Master, if you're not full, order another bowl. It's my treat."

"Hahaha, Master is really generous. I will respectfully obey your command. Waiter, three more bowls, please."

While the other party was eating noodles, Xu Chengling took a look at the little girl in front of him. He saw that her mouth was full of noodles and she had no personal image at all.

He simply couldn't connect her with the white-haired witch who had assassinated the empress. Are they definitely the same person?

"Are you really Tong'er's master?"

Xu Chengling couldn't help swallowing and asked again.

"Yes, I am not Tong'er's master."

Luo Xinlian answered incoherently while slurping noodles.

After a long while, Tongxin dared to go to the table. She looked at the little girl timidly before picking up the chopsticks and eating some noodles.

Xu Chengling couldn't help feeling distressed when he saw this scene. It was the first time he saw Tongxin look so frightened.

He seemed to be able to guess what kind of inhuman treatment Tongxin had suffered at the hands of her master, which was why she was so scared.

However, the white-haired witch who had assassinated the empress now appeared in front of him so openly. This was too bold.

And looking at the way she is wolfing down the food, she looks like a starving ghost. How many days has she been hungry? Have the rebels run out of rice?

With a "bang", Luo Xinlian slammed the bowl she had eaten clean on the table, mumbling:

"Wow, I'm finally alive. I almost thought I was going to starve to death."

The main reason why she maintains the state of a little girl is to save energy so that she can be more resistant to hunger.

Just when she was about to starve to death on the streets of Beijing, Luo Xinlian saw Tong Xin and the man beside her in the crowd, so she hurried over to have a meal with them.

Now that he was full and satisfied, Luo Xinlian patted his belly with satisfaction. This form was really useful. The key was that he could fill his stomach very easily.

If this were her original form, she would probably have to eat five or six more bowls of plain noodles.

Xu Chengling looked at the pile of empty bowls in front of Luo Xinlian and couldn't help but laugh.

Compared to Mo Li, the little glutton, this guy is a super glutton and eats too much.

Fortunately, Xu Chengling was not short of money. He paid the bill while the waiter looked surprised, and left with Tongxin.

The two of them were walking on the streets of the capital, and Tong Xin was beside them, feeling all awkward, as if there were countless needles pricking her from behind, and she was uncomfortable all over.

Xu Chengling turned around and saw a little girl following behind them.

"Master, why did you follow me?"

"I followed you to see your work environment."

Luo Xinlian chuckled, followed immediately, stood on tiptoe and barely patted Xu Chengling's shoulder, trying to sell him:

"Master, you are so young, handsome, and rich. How many wives have you married? What do you think of my daughter Tong'er? She is pretty and obedient. Do you want to recruit her too?"

"Master, don't worry about this kind of thing."

Tong Xin, who was standing by, blushed and spoke quickly.

Luo Xinlian shrugged and said with a pout:

"Master is doing this for your own good. If you don't find a good man to support you soon, you'll become like Master, with no luck with men."

"Master, are you still single?"

Xu Chengling couldn't help but ask.

When Luo Xinlian heard this, her bright eyes lit up immediately, and she raised the corner of her mouth slightly and said:

"If the master doesn't mind that I'm a little older, I'm not much older, maybe 50 or 60 years older, so it's not a problem."

Xu Chengling looked at the little girl in front of him and secretly clicked his tongue. Wow, he didn't expect that she was actually fifty or sixty years older than him, which meant she must be in her seventies or eighties.

Not to mention her current appearance as a little girl, even if she was the white-haired witch back then, she looked only about 27 or 28 years old.

And this is probably a conservative estimate given that she lied about her age.

According to Dayan’s marriage age, Master Tong’er is too young to be his grandmother.

Chapter 189 Have I seen you somewhere before?

"Oh, Master, what are you thinking about? I am just a young girl who just turned ten years old."

Luo Xinlian raised her slender hand and gently patted Xu Chengling's shoulder, and said shyly on her face.

Seeing this, Tong Xin, who was standing by, felt a little uncomfortable.

Old woman, you are already very old, why are you still pretending to be young?

"Master, Master is not that old. She just turned 100 this year."

Tong Xin smiled slightly and said with a somewhat dark look in her eyes.

When Xu Chengling heard this, he was like, wow, at the age of 100, she is old enough to be his grandmother, or even his great-grandmother.

He couldn't help but shook his head. Who cares? As long as she looks ten years old, she is ten years old.

In this way, Luo Xinlian followed Xu Chengling all the way back to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

At the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Xu Chengling couldn't help but stop, turned around, and looked at the harmless little girl in front of him, his head a little confused.

"Master, why don't you just stay here? You don't want others to know your identity, do you?"

In fact, he didn't dare to bring Tong'er's master back, because he was a ruthless rebel who dared to assassinate the empress in public.

If people knew that he was in collusion with the rebels who assassinated the empress, he would never be able to clear himself even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

"It doesn't matter, I will take action."

Luo Xinlian shrugged her shoulders. She just became smaller, but her skills remained the same.

"Compared to this, I think it's a little inappropriate for Master to come to Xiangguo Mansion. After all, it's not good to be seen by others."

She really didn't need to be afraid, but he was very afraid.

Luo Xinlian raised the corner of her mouth slightly, stood on tiptoe and patted his shoulders twice, and said mysteriously:

"Don't worry, I already know your true identity. We are in the same group."

"Ah this."

Xu Chengling was so disheveled in the wind that he thought, "The devil is in cahoots with you. He doesn't want the empress to die."

But the rebels wished the empress would die immediately, and the more chaos there was, the better it would be for them.

Seeing that he couldn't drive her away, Xu Chengling had no choice.

After all, he is Tongxin's master, and it would not be nice for him to just chase him away.

So he had no choice but to agree to let Luo Xinlian enter the Prime Minister's Mansion.

As if seeing through his thoughts, Luo Xinlian whispered behind him:

"Master, don't worry. I won't let you down. Just follow your own way. I'm here today just to take a look at my apprentice's work environment."

According to the intelligence Luo Xinlian had, Prime Minister Xu had already married the empress's younger sister and successfully infiltrated the enemy.

At that time, as long as their rebel army is at the gates of the city, they can cooperate with Xu Chengling from inside and outside to capture the empress, change the dynasty, and let Dayan usher in a better dynasty.

At present, they have accumulated enough strength in various places, but they still lack food and military funds. However, they still have the Prime Minister lurking in Dayan, and the funding problem can be solved in the end.

It can be said that it is just a matter of time before they take down the empress.

"Wow, sir, your place is so big. If we can use it as a base, it will definitely be able to hide a lot of people."

Luo Xinlian looked around and couldn't help but sigh.

At present, the rebels have not yet gained a firm foothold in the capital. If they can use the Prime Minister's Mansion as a base, the rebels will be able to gain a firm foothold quickly.

"Although the Xiangguo Mansion is large, if there are too many people, we may not be able to feed so many mouths."

Xu Chengling burst out laughing, but he had an idea in his mind.

If the rebels regard this place as their main stronghold, and he reports directly to the empress, wouldn't it be possible to catch all the high-ranking rebels in one fell swoop?

The two looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

"Master, you can take a look around. If you are interested, you can stay here."

Xu Chengling introduced Tongxin's master along the way, with a completely different attitude from before.

"Haha, Master, you are so enthusiastic."

Luo Xinlian laughed heartily, not considering herself as an outsider at all.

"Also, you don't have to call me Master. My name is Luo Xinlian. People in the martial arts world gave me a nickname, the White-haired Witch. You can call me whatever you want."

"Then I'd better call you Master Luo. Calling you anything else is too formal."

Xu Chengling thought for a moment and said.
