42 lip sugar stains

The faint light of the fire fold illuminates the gloomy road ahead, and also shines on Xiao Yu's excessively white face.

"I came out in a hurry, and I actually forgot to get a handful of candy from Xinning." He smiled self-deprecatingly, and turned his face in a direction that Tang Ai couldn't see, without a trace, without a ripple.

Tang Ai heard Xiao Yu muttering quietly, but he didn't hear the specific content clearly. She looked ahead, but couldn't find the end. This underground secret path was cold, and after staying for a long time, her hands and feet began to be cold.

"Xiao Yu, can this road really get out of the palace?"

"You'll find out if you go on."

Tang Ai walked in front, Xiao Yu walked behind, and after half an hour, the front of the two suddenly became no longer a road. There was a circuitous fork in the road that led to it.

"This is not the path we are going to take, so don't bother." Xiao Yu whispered behind Tang Ai's back, his voice so light that he could barely hear it, "Let's just follow the current road." ”

So far, Tang Ai can't believe Xiao Yu, so he has to continue to move forward. She knew that Xiao Yu was struggling to walk, so she deliberately slowed down her pace, but Xiao Yu gradually widened the distance between her and her.

"Xiao Yu, if you can't walk, don't be hard-" Tang Ai said as he turned back, but the last word "support" had not yet been spoken, but he only heard a "snap" sound next to Xiao Yu.

It was the sound of Xiao Yu's crutches falling to the ground. The fire fold was on Tang Ai's side, and Xiao Yu's position was dark and dark, only a cold echo was ethereal, and after a while, it swirled to the top of Tang Ai's head.

"Why did you throw away the crutches?!" Tang Ai hurriedly ran back, holding the fire fold to help Xiao Yu pick up the crutches.

The firelight also illuminated Xiao Yu's body, and Tang Ai saw him slowly leaning against the wall, his left hand trembling slightly.

"I didn't mean it, I just didn't hold it firm." Xiao Yu's face carried an indescribable decadence.

"I said I wanted you to rest for a while!"

"You can't rest, and if you do, it will only get worse." Xiao Yu regained his cane, smiled a little reluctantly at Tang Ai, and walked in front of Tang Ai in one step.

The road ahead is long, and Tang Ai simply thought that this road was about to go to the ground. After another half an hour, both men had to stop, for the road came to an abrupt halt.

What appeared in front of the two of them was a lifeless wall.

Tang Ai couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw that the way was blocked like this. According to what Xiao Yu said, if this road can get out of the palace, then what stands here should be a door, not a wall.

However, it turns out that what Xiao Yu said is true, this way is to be able to get out of the palace.

The wall looks like a wall, but it functions as a door.

The method of opening this door is also known only to Xiao Yu alone.

When the two of them returned to the earth from the secret way underground, the sky was already bright.

And the world outside the palace greatly surprised Tang Ai's expectations.

After a long time, she still can't believe that she came out of such a hellish place!

It's a place full of life, and that place has an extremely strong smell, and if you stay in that smell for two moments, you may not be able to eat for three days.

- Tang Ai followed Xiao Yu out of the latrine.

That's right, latrines. It's a special coincidence that it's the thatched toilet in the backyard of Dongpo Building!

It turns out that the dry well in the Zhaoyang Palace serves as the www.biquge.info of the Biqu Pavilion of this secret path, and it can be reached to the edge of the Sijiu City outside the palace. This is really a big secret, and Tang Ai feels more and more that Xiao Yu is really amazing.

As for why the end of this secret path will be the thatched toilet of Dongpo Building, Xiao Yu's explanation is as follows:

This path existed hundreds of years ago, and the exit has always been in its present location. At that time, the old capital of the Yan Kingdom was far less than the scope of today's Datian/Chao Sijiu City, and the boundary where Dongpo Tower was located had long belonged to the desolate area outside the city at that time.

After the establishment of the capital, a large-scale expansion of the capital was carried out, and the first owner of Dongpo Lou opened the shop here, so naturally he had to build a convenient place for people, and the exit of the Yangong Secret Way was hidden deep underground, and the boss could not know that he built the latrine on the secret path.

No matter how you say it, the matter of climbing out of the wall of the latrine still made Tang Ai respond for a long time. While slowing down, she took off the eunuch uniform three times and divided by two, but saw that Xiao Yu had already gone around the stairs of Dongpo Building step by step.

"Hey, Xiao Yu, what are you doing?"

"Go find candy to eat." Xiao Yu moved his right leg a little and rubbed into the private room upstairs.

Tang Aiwan never expected that the first thing Xiao Yu did when he returned to the ground was to find candy to eat.

She also had one thing she wanted to do - she wanted to find a place to bathe.

First, she wanted to completely get rid of the shame she had in the eunuch's nest; The second is to wash the smell that comes out of the latrine!

For Tang Ai's idea, Xiao Yu expressed absolute agreement. He didn't ask Tang Ai to go anywhere else, so he opened a room for Tang Ai next door, asked someone to boil hot water, and prepared all the bath supplies for her.

Of course, Xiao Yu is the current boss of Dongpo Building, and she never knew about it. She only said that Xiao Yu knew the boss, so she was able to ask the boss to make it convenient, and opened two private rooms for him early in the morning.

Tang Ai closed the door tightly and took a big bath comfortably, while Xiao Yu sat down in another room and took all the candy on the coffee table in his arms with one arm.

He didn't pick at this time, he grabbed two pieces of candy casually and put them in his mouth, frowned lightly, and slowly chewed the candy and closed his eyes.

Tang Ai finished taking a fragrant bath, got dressed and came to Xiao Yu's room.

Xiao Yu still maintained the posture just now, his eyes slightly closed, and there was a pile of sugar crumbs scattered in front of him.

Tang Ai has never seen such a sugar-hungry person in his life, and he only thinks that Xiao Yu's hobby is really hard to comment on. She couldn't guess what Xiao Yu wanted to do next, so she could only sit at the table for the time being.

But once Tang Ai rested like this, he inadvertently looked at Xiao Yu twice, and he thought carefully again. Xiao Yu, in addition to his pale complexion, always seems to be lacking in qi and blood, and lacks arms and legs, he has great ability and looks very good.

Tang Ai has seen many men who claim to be dragons and phoenixes among people, she thinks about this young master at this time, and then compares them with Xiao Yu, she feels that those people have all become floating clouds.

Tang Ai thought so and glanced at Xiao Yu again, but this time she caught a glimpse of something bald out of the cuff of Xiao Yu's left hand.

At first, when she saw that the thing seemed to be a rolled up piece of drawing paper, she just wanted to stretch her neck to take a closer look, but Xiao Yu casually raised her hand, and the scroll of drawing paper fell back into his sleeve.

"With the candy, I feel so much better." Xiao Yu slowly opened his eyes, and his gaze swept Tang Ai, as if he had just woken up in a daze, "It's time for breakfast, what do you want to eat?" Mash rice balls or red oil dumplings? ”

Tang Ai swallowed and foamed, and his stomach immediately rumbled in response to the call. In the two days she has been in the palace, she has not eaten a serious meal. Truth be told, she's now hungry enough to swallow a cow in one bite.

After eating, he was sent to the private room after eating, and Tang Ai swept away the food on the plate, and wiped his mouth with the back of his hand.

Xiao Yu smiled at her: "Hey, come here." ”

"What?" Tang Ai was puzzled.

"You've got sugar dregs stuck to your mouth." Xiao Yu raised his fingertips and coldly wiped the corners of Tang Ai's lips.

The last dish that Tang Ai had just eaten was brown sugar glutinous ba, which was considered a dessert. She ate quite refreshingly, but she didn't know that there was sugar paste on the side of her mouth.

Xiao Yu's fingertips were very cool, Tang Ai only felt as if there was a clear stream flowing all over her body, and a hot air arose from nowhere in her body, changing her ways to fight against the clear stream, making her body cold and hot, her ears seemed to be burned, and her feet and neck seemed to be cold.

She was suddenly embarrassed, blinked her eyes in a hurry, and glanced elsewhere, wanting to pretend to be careless, but her gaze was finally fixed on Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu's next move was something Tang Ai will never forget—he put his finger in his mouth and smiled as he wiped off the syrup on his fingertips.

So, the sugar paste that stuck to Tang Ai's mouth was transferred to Xiao Yu's mouth.

"You—You're not dirty." Tang Ai was at a loss.

Xiao Yu didn't answer, only put on an expression with endless aftertaste, and smiled so comfortably.

Tang Ai saw his smile and became even more uncomfortable. This guy's smile was poisonous, which made Tang Ai can't help but want to see it, but after seeing it, he couldn't resist it. Her heart was basically in a state of extreme chaos, which directly caused her face to be tangled and funny.

Xiao Yu said at this time: "You haven't slept well for at least two days in a row, just sleep here for a while." ”

As he spoke, he got up on crutches and went out of the room and closed the door.

Dongpo Tower is a very tall building, and it took Xiao Yu quite a long time to move from the upper floor to the ground.

He stood under the eaves of the street and looked in the direction of the palace, his eyes as if passing through a group of people on the street, and fell on one person impartially.

The man was also walking towards the Dongpo Tower, his tall body taking strict steps.

The person who came was Xu Zhan.

Every time Xu Zhan appeared, the righteousness of his body seemed to emanate to a radius of ten miles, pervasive.

"Your face is ugly." As soon as he came up, he said this to Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu shook his head indifferently: "It's nothing, it's just that I couldn't eat two mouthfuls of candy in time at night, and I had another seizure." Fortunately, I have made it up just now, and now I don't feel so uncomfortable. ”

Xu Zhan nodded, and said, "The harem was very chaotic last night, and I heard that it was an assassin who was mixed in." Cai Fu told His Majesty that this matter was first discovered by Concubine Qian, and then it alarmed the queen, and the queen was now sending people to search the palace one by one. ”

Xiao Yu smiled faintly, his eyes meaningful: "To tell you the truth, I think the so-called assassin is me." And I'm addicted to being an assassin, and I'm going back tonight. ”

Xu Zhan: "What are you investigating, why did you find it in the palace?" ”

Xiao Yu: "Originally, I just wanted to go to see Xinning, and look for the person who set fire to Zhaoyang Palace by the way, but I ran into something I couldn't have imagined." This thing is really interesting, you can't think about it with your head, you have to think about it with your heels, it's unexpected and reasonable. ”

"Have you found the arsonist?"

"Found it, I'll check it out tonight."

“……”

"What's wrong with you, what's on your mind?"

Xu Zhan pursed his lips in a daze, and said with a grin: "I think I have a good impression of a person." ”
