Chapter 169: Mysterious Slave

"Master, no, this, the prince has commanded......" Cangzhu saw Xiaoxia swaying to the front of the box, and hurriedly begged Mu Xi in a low voice. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"Then you tell me, what is inside, since you are all in the palace with me and are detained here, then, your actions will be considered to be instructed by me, I can't let myself die in vain, Hongxia has a hidden secret, what are you hiding? Either you tell me yourself, or, I will take a look today. Mu Xi said sharply.

"This ......" Cangzhu lowered her head, unable to answer, and frowned tightly in confusion.

Mu Xi showed Xiao Xia a look, Xiao Xia has been wandering on the rivers and lakes for a long time, there are only so many kinds of mechanisms in this kind of box, look carefully, when Xiao Xia was cleaning up the two guards in the outer room, Cang Zhu was in the room and did not have time to open the mechanism, but just closed the box and covered it, after a little observation, Xiao Xia's eyebrows and eyes stretched, the corners of her mouth curled, and the gold and silver on it were lifted, and the dark box below was not locked yet.

When a lot of gold and silver fell to the ground, Mu Xi walked quickly to the box, and there was indeed someone at the bottom of the box.

This person was dressed in slave clothes, his whole body was heavily restrained by iron locks wrapped in cloth, curled up at the bottom of the box to the maximum, and he was breathing hard, the black cloth bag was covering his head, and when he breathed, his upper body was rising and falling, and he could hear the sound of wheezing.

"Doctor, it's dawn, I'll send you back. Mu Xi was about to pull the black hood, when Cangzhu rushed up and covered the lid tightly.

At this time, the slave seemed to be awakened as well, and made a 'hmm' sound from the box, as if his tongue was blocked, accompanied by the sound of struggle and the gentle 'squeeping' of chains.

"Who is he, why did he follow him into the palace?" Mu Xi asked Cangzhu in a low voice.

The sound of the man struggling and struggling kept coming from the box, the box was slammed back and forth, Cangzhu quickly opened the box, flew away, and the sound inside disappeared suddenly.

Looking back, Cangzhu's face was extremely ugly, the sky was already bright, and he could see his tangled expression clearly, "Master, this is a very important person to the prince, put it in the palace, I don't worry, so I dare to bring him in, and report to the master before I have nothing to do, it is Cangzhu's fault, but, the sky is bright, how can the master go back?"

"With such a few steps of distance between the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard, is it difficult to take someone over the wall?" Xiaoxia stood aside and asked dissatisfiedly.

"However, the guards have all woken up, how can you climb over the wall and go back in broad daylight?" Cangzhu was puzzled, looking at the figure outside the window that began to move, and became even more anxious.

"You just have to be in charge of getting the guards together, don't look into the inner courtyard, don't worry about the rest. Xiaoxia responded confidently.

"Okay, I'll gather the team and let the Grand Commander come with me, you guys be careful. Cangzhu took the big lock on the side of the box, locked it on the lid, and took the cover cloth, covering the gold and silver on the ground and the box, and ran out with a tangled gaze.

Listening to the commander of the courtyard being greeted by Cangzhu, comparing the speed of the team assembly, the guards in the outer courtyard are bored these days, such a competition has to come once or twice a day, and the commander sees that Cangzhu wants to compete early in the morning, and he does not show weakness, and immediately agrees.

Half a pillar of incense, all the guards rushed to the door of the outer courtyard to gather, Cangzhu pushed Gao Fei, like all the generals, stood with his back to the inner courtyard and just stood up, looking up, Xiaoxia flashed from the roof on tiptoe with Mu Xi on her back, less than the blink of an eye, the two of them had disappeared into the wall of the inner courtyard.

Xiaoxia's light skills are what she is best at, Mu Xi has been ill for a long time, and her already petite body is lighter, the two of them came to the inner courtyard, the maids always got up later than the guards, and no one in the inner courtyard was active, but Xiaoxia still cautiously and quickly came to the side window of the main house, and after sending Mu Xi into the window, she quietly came in from the main door.

When Shi Yi, the earliest person from the courtyard, stood in the middle of the courtyard, Mu Xi had already changed into his clothes and sat on the bed to rest.

Although Shi Yi also felt that something was wrong, he kept looking around the courtyard, and a guard walked past him, he asked coldly, "Did anyone see someone on the courtyard wall just now?" The guard looked around, shook his head and retreated.

The guard guarding the gate of the inner courtyard was still kneeling on the ground, and Shi Yi stepped forward to ask suspiciously, "Who made you kneel here?"

"It's me!" Xiaoxia replied as she walked out of the door lightly, snatching the words in a loud voice.

"Miss Xia, I don't know, what mistake did this guard make?" Shi Yi immediately asked in a relaxed tone.

"Just now, I jumped over the courtyard wall, I got up early every day to practice, and this guard, when I was practicing, he was sleeping, so I asked him to kneel, sober and sober. Xiaoxia tidied up her clothes, walked out the door as she spoke, and passed in front of Shi Yi, with a smiling little face and a naughty grimace.

Without waiting for Shi Yi to speak, Xiaoxia had already turned over again, jumped over the door of the inner courtyard, and shook the words at the same time, "I still have something to do, go too." ”

Mu Xi opened the door, Jin Zhuo and Jin Jiao were leading the maids to wait in front of the door with water basins and meals, looking at Xiaoxia's figure of flashing away, in her heart, trying to guess the identity of the slave in the box, he was so weak, bound in a box with no room for movement, what kind of person would he be, so important to the prince, that he would even risk bringing it to the palace?

She frowned, all kinds of thoughts, couldn't figure it out, the people in the courtyard were still silently shuttling back and forth, and the guards guarding the inner courtyard were punished by Shi Yi to kneel to the next hour.

Jin Zhuo and Jin Jiao helped Mu Xi to the house, and they kept saying thoughtful words such as being careful of catching a cold, but Mu Xi didn't listen to a word.

She washed numbly, ate breakfast, drank the decoction, and when all the procedures were done, she saw a figure wandering around the door, refusing to come in.

"Come in, Cangzhu. Mu Xi motioned for everyone to leave the room and calmly called outside the door.

Cangzhu was silent, his lowered head was deeper to his chest, his steps were heavy, and he moved to Mu Xi step by step, and when Jin Zhuo finally left, he closed the door, and he knelt on the ground with a bang, silently touching the ground with his forehead, for a long time, silently insisting.

Mu Xi understood what Cangzhu meant, this matter must have been arranged by the prince, such a major event would never be what he said, since the prince didn't want Mu Xi to know, now she already knows the existence of this slave, and now what Cangzhu is asking for is nothing more than begging Mu Xi not to continue to investigate the identity of this slave.

She sighed deeply, silently relieving the boredom in her heart, and Cangzhu kowtowed deeply, also waiting silently.

After a long time, Mu Xi asked in a low voice, "No one said that you have a quirk in life, and you live in the room all day long?

Cangzhu didn't get Mu Xi's forgiveness, and still kowtowed and responded in a low voice, "What the master said is that these words have already spread in this courtyard. ”

"Then change this state, and if you come here, you will be safe. Mu Xi said calmly.

Cangzhu immediately got up, looked up at Mu Xi, and said goodbye in surprise, "Please make it clear to the master." ”
