Chapter 140: Wait and see
Yao Muzixi looked at the man who was pulling his hair in the mirror in a daze, and suddenly felt like a deer was bumping into him. Xia Xifeng's handsome face flashed a dazzling light in the mirror, and stabbed straight into Yao Muzixi's eyes, making her panic for a moment.
Xia Xifeng looked at Yao Muzixi's stunned appearance, and was surprised for a moment, not knowing what this little woman was thinking.
"You're such an attentive person." Yao Muzixi somehow said such a sentence, but when she reacted, she was a little surprised.
Xia Xifeng paused, stopped the movements in his hand, glanced at Yao Muzixi lightly, and said, "What are you thinking?" So absent-minded. ”
"Huh? What the? I didn't think about anything! Yao Muzixi smiled awkwardly, and hurriedly sat up straight with a serious face.
Xia Xifeng glanced at Yao Muzixi lightly, took out some things from his belt, and tinkered with them. After a while, it was made into a human skin mask.
Xia Xifeng spread out the human skin mask in his hand, glanced at it, smiled with satisfaction, walked in front of Yao Mu Zixi, and said, "Come, put on this human skin mask." ”
Yao Muzixi glanced at the human skin mask in Xia Xifeng's hand, and smiled: "I don't know yet, you actually know this, it's really like it!" ”
"Well, sit down, Biedong." Xia Xifeng spoke softly, a smile overflowing from the corner of his mouth. He gently applied the human skin mask and pressed it tightly on Yao Muzixi's face.
Yao Muzixi only felt a hot slap on his face, a little spicy pain, and his face was a little uncomfortable, as if he couldn't breathe. Yao Muzixi frowned, glanced at Xia Xifeng and said, "This thing is weird and uncomfortable sticking to your face." ”
"Okay, don't complain." Xia Xifeng glanced at Yao Muzixi, who was wearing a human skin mask, turned around, put another human skin mask on his face, turned around, glanced at Yao Muzixi, and smiled faintly.
Yao Muzixi saw that Xia Xifeng, who turned around, seemed to have changed into a different appearance, and couldn't help laughing loudly, and said, "Is Xia Xifeng you?" It's weird that you look like this. ”
After speaking, Yao Mu Zixi also picked up his claws, stretched out to Xia Xifeng's face, pinched it, and felt extremely cute, although this human skin mask is also very good-looking, but it is far from Xia Xifeng's true appearance.
The corners of Xia Xifeng's mouth twitched fiercely a few times, his eyebrows and eyes were raised, avoiding Yao Muzixi's poisonous claws, and he said unhurriedly: "You are a man now, don't be big or small." ”
"What? You say I'm not big or small? I ......" Yao Muzixi was a little angry when he heard Xia Xifeng say this, walked in front of Xia Xifeng, and blocked his way.
"Don't make a fuss." Xia Xifeng suddenly listened to the sound outside with a vigilant face, and hurriedly covered Yao Muzixi's mouth and pulled her to himself.
Yao Muzixi also listened carefully to the movement outside, only to hear that there was a mess in the restaurant, as if there were officers and soldiers searching for something.
"It seems that there are officers and soldiers." Yao Muzixi's face was a little gloomy, and he gently opened the door through a crack, and looked outside.
I saw that several officers and soldiers outside the door were searching for something, and a person who seemed to be the leader of the soldiers, with an arrogant appearance, Yao Muzixi gritted his teeth, and made a gesture to rush out and teach those officers and soldiers a lesson. Seeing this, Xia Xifeng hurriedly grabbed Yao Muzixi, closed the door, and pushed her into the house.
"The princess is not the time to be reckless at this time, they must be searching everywhere because of the emperor's disappearance, but if I guess correctly, they don't dare to expose the rumors, let's wait and see what happens." Xia Xifeng said with a calm face, and after a while, the footsteps of those officers and soldiers approached.
Xia Xifeng and Yao Muzixi sat in the room, drinking tea indifferently, and several officials forcibly broke in, and those shopkeepers were powerless, just stood aside in a daze, watching.
"May I ask a few officials, why is this the case, you want to forcibly break in?" Xia Xifeng stood up, walked in front of an officer and soldier, and smiled indifferently.
The officers and soldiers didn't even look at Xia Xifeng, with an arrogant attitude, they waved their hands to the officers and soldiers behind them, and said, "Search me carefully, and don't let go of even the slightest clue." ”
Xia Xifeng saw that those officers and soldiers ignored him, and he was not angry, but looked at those officers and soldiers with an indifferent face.
After searching for a long time, those officers and soldiers didn't find anything, and the leading officers and soldiers glanced at Xia Xifeng and Yao Muzixi, spread out a painting in their hands, presented it in front of Xia Xifeng, and said in an unkind tone: "You two, have you seen the person in this portrait?" ”
Xia Xifeng glanced at the portrait, only to see that it was actually a portrait of Yao Jingyu, the emperor of Yao Languo, and a trace of sharpness flashed in his eyes, he really didn't expect that those people would be so bold that even the current emperor dared to search for them.
"Oh, we've never seen the man in the portrait, so we don't know what the man in the portrait is doing. Several officials want to hunt down so hard. Xia Xifeng spoke to the official with a humble and respectful attitude.
"Leave this alone, we're just doing what we're told, but what! If you will cooperate in the hunt down of this Assassin, I can tell you a thing or two. The official showed a treacherous smile on his face, looked at Xia Xifeng, and smiled indifferently.
"Since this is the case, we are naturally willing to help the official pay more attention." Xia Xifeng smiled lightly and took the portrait in the official's hand.
The official glanced at Xia Xifeng, sighed, sat opposite Yao Muzixi, poured a cup of tea, drank it, and said distressedly: "This morning, my lord received an order from above, saying that the bad people in the palace were assassinated last night and injured the emperor, this is not looking for assassins in the city." ”
"Looking for an assassin?" Xia Xifeng made a surprised look and chatted with the official.
"Isn't it! We have a lot of things to do in the yamen every day, and this is good, so many guards from the Xuanwu Gate are not sent to search and arrest, but they hand over this matter to our small yamen to do. The official said, as if he was a little angry.
Xia Xifeng took the painting in his hand, looked at it, and said, "I'll keep this portrait, so I can help the official pay more attention." ”
The official glanced at Xia Xifeng and said, "Take it, just take it, we have something, since you haven't found anyone here, we'll leave." After saying that, the official got up and walked out, and the little catcher who did it also followed.
Xia Xifeng sent them away, and hurriedly closed the door. walked up to Yao Muzixi, sat down on the table, spread out the portrait, pushed it in front of Yao Muzixi, knocked lightly on the table, and said, "Look, it's the portrait of your father." ”
Yao Muzixi hurriedly took the portrait in front of him, took a look, and sure enough, it was his father, this Concubine Chu Xiang, who was so bold that even the current emperor dared to arrest him.
"What a concubine Chu Xiang, she actually dared to arrest my father." Yao Muzi's teeth trembled straight, and he couldn't wait to eat that Chu Xiang Concubine alive.
