Chapter 003: Meticulous work
The two of them passed through more than a dozen secret passages, and finally stopped in front of a stone gate engraved with "Weiyang Palace". Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
"See the young master", the two palace people who kept vigil were dressed in the same way, and after bowing to Shangguan Yuntian respectfully, they got up and turned up the stone door for him.
Walking straight to the center of the main hall, Yang Xiaoxi raised his eyes and looked up along the long steps in the hall. At the end of the long staircase was a gilded throne, and the woman sitting on it had a black veil covering her face, and her slightly snowy messy hair was pulled back at will, revealing only a pair of bottomless eyes, she knew that this was probably the golden lady in Qing Yu's mouth.
Mrs. Jin glanced sideways at Her Royal Highness slightly, and then stood up after a while, dragged a long black dress to Yang Xiaoxi, stretched out her fingers to pick her chin, looked at it carefully for a moment, and squeezed out a cold and piercing laugh from her throat, "Sure enough, a beauty, tsk, it's a pity to die." β
"I just told your men that I don't remember anything else. So can you tell me why I was poisoned and why did you save me? Yang Xiaoxi vaguely noticed that this person was not good, so he didn't want to go around in circles and get straight to the point with her.
"Don't you remember that you were given death?" Mrs. Jin's slightly old voice revealed a cold aura that was heavier than Shangguan Yuntian, "Your father was framed by traitors, and was punished by the Dog Emperor for the felony of the Nine Clans, and you and your family drank the poisonous wine given by the Dog Emperor, if it weren't for the fact that you were born with a good appearance and could be used by my Jiuxuan Underground Palace, I wouldn't have to risk saving you." β
"What do you mean, do you want to take advantage of me?" Yang Xiaoxi roughly sorted out some thoughts, it seemed that the owner of his body had been given death by the imperial court, and the two women in front of them probably needed a good-looking woman to do things for them, so they rescued her. In addition, this Mrs. Jin seems to have some festivals with the emperor, otherwise why would she bark at a dog emperor.
"If you don't say it, I'm making a deal with you." Mrs. Jin picked up her sideburns with her fingernails, and spit out words seemingly casually: "I gave you a chance to live again, and after the deed is done, I will never treat you badly." β
When Yang Xiaoxi heard this, he couldn't help but secretly sigh that he was really miserable, it was the life of the young lady and princess to cross for Mao, and when she came to her, she became a small death row prisoner who was sentenced to even the nine clans, helpless, not to mention, and was controlled by a gangster-like Jianghu sect.
"So what exactly do you want me to do?" Yang Xiaoxi asked.
"Go to the mansion of the hussar general Wen Chongxiao to act as our detailed work and steal a talisman for me." Mrs. Jin's tone slowed down a little, and she said word by word: "This talisman can command the three armies, and getting it is equivalent to getting most of the world, and now the talisman is hidden in the General's Mansion, if you can gain Wen Chongxiao's trust, you will have the opportunity to find out the whereabouts of the talisman." When we get the talisman and sit in the world, we can not only rehabilitate your dead family, but also seal you as a female official when the time comes, what do you think? β
Secret agents? I'll go, isn't that still an undercover agent! Yang Xiaoxi almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, feeling that she was really destined to commit Tai Sui, in her previous life, she went to the gangster as an undercover agent and was blown to pieces, and now she has traveled to ancient times and fell into the hands of the gangsters.
"Maybe as you said, my family was given death by the emperor, but I just said, I don't remember the past, so I don't have hatred for the emperor in my heart, and I don't want to be a female official", Yang Xiaoxi wanted to test the other party to see if there was room for maneuver.
"I'm commanding you, not consulting you. I have the ability to bring you back from the dead, and naturally I can kill you like an ant. Mrs. Jin's tone suddenly became stiff, and she said impatiently: "If you don't want to, I'll send you back to the Netherworld to reunite with your family now!" β
"Palace Master." Shangguan Yuntian, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke, and said lightly: "The official slaves and official maids allocated to the General's Mansion tomorrow are about to enter the mansion, if the candidate for the fine work is changed at this time, I'm afraidββ"
"Shut up!" Before Shangguan Yuntian's words fell, he was slapped in the face by Mrs. Jin, "If it weren't for your stupid kindness, Wen Chongxiao would have died in Huangquan a long time ago, why do we have to go through such a big trouble today!" What are you still pretending to be here today? Mrs. Jin frowned, and her tone was extremely cold, and she did not see the gentleness that should be between mother and son.
Fang Cai's slap was not light, Shangguan Yuntian raised his head, there was a touch of red blood on the corner of his mouth, his expression was not angry or shocked, and his expression was as flat as water.
Yang Xiaoxi looked at the strange mother and son in front of him in a daze, and suddenly felt that such an indifferent and distorted relationship was really terrible, this Shangguan Yuntian, who was the young master, didn't care about Mrs. Jin calling her mother, but only called her the palace master, and Mrs. Jin didn't seem to have the kindness and love that a mother should have for him.
No wonder Shangguan Yuntian always gives people a cold feeling, probably his heart is cold, and people are cold. Thinking of this, Yang Xiaoxi began to sympathize with this young master of the ancient gangster who had just met, and she didn't want to die again so soon, so she changed her words: "I promise you, I have to think about such a big thing as stealing soldiers and plotting against me, now I have decided, I will go to the General's Mansion." β
"Did you really think about it?" Mrs. Jin's tone slowed slightly, and she raised the corners of her mouth and said, "If I find out what tricks you dare to play in the future, I will kill you at any time." β
"No, no, you guys are so powerful, how dare I play tricks." Although Yang Xiaoxi was soft-tongued, he was thinking in his heart that he would promise to come down first to save his life, and then make plans when he really entered the general's mansion to see how things were developing.
When Mrs. Jin saw that Yang Xiaoxi surrendered to her, she didn't say anything and ordered Shangguan Yuntian to take her down. The two returned to Fangcai's stone room together, but Qing Yu was no longer visible.
"May I ask you a question?" Yang Xiaoxi said tentatively.
"What", Shangguan Yuntian added two candles to the stone room on the one hand, and said casually on the other.
"The palace master seems to be very strict with you, isn't she your mother, why did she hit you so hard just now."
"It's my business, don't worry about you." Shangguan Yuntian glanced at Yang Xiaoxi expressionlessly, and then pointed to a carved couch not far away and said: "Where you sleep tonight, I don't care if you really forget the past, from tomorrow your name is Jiang Wanluo, and your identity is the daughter of Jiang Zifeng, the pavilion chief of Lixian County. β
