Chapter 240: Wishful Thinking
cpa300_4; As the residence of the lady of the mansion, Jinxian Yuan is naturally exquisite and gorgeous everywhere, but it is not conventional. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Xi Muyan is still the first time to come to Jinxian Garden, although the heavenly prince is a little unbeautiful, but there are still a few palace lamps in Jinxian Garden, although they are swayed by the wind, they are still working firmly.
Except for the sound of wind and rain, the surroundings are a little too quiet.
Xi Muyan changed his clothes and went out of the room alone.
And Pei Yaqing followed her quietly, there was no such thing as a profound guardian in Jinxian Garden, and most of the subordinates were just a first glimpse of the cultivation path, with Pei Yaqing's cultivation, there was no need for Xi Muyan to worry, and he could come and go freely.
Xi Muyan held an oil-paper umbrella, hurriedly pushed open the vertical door, and came to the top of the corridor. Because it was the leeward side, as soon as I got to the top of the cloister, it was instantly warmer.
The paper umbrella was slightly deformed by the wind, and it was put away at will, and the rain quickly wet the ground.
Xi Muyan stomped his feet, and then straightened his clothes. Then he unconsciously wiped his face.
Although he fully trusts Pei Yaqing's disguise technique, he is still a little unaccustomed to facing other people's faces.
From Anno's memory, they knew that their original plan was for Anno to start tonight's plan, so Xi Muyan had to take the initiative.
Before he could take a few steps, Xi Muyan was thinking about how to be more natural, when he saw a sneaky figure flashing not far away.
On this big night, is there anyone else who is also thinking about it?
Xi Muyan didn't shout, nor did she panic, she is now playing Anno. Anno's cultivation is ordinary, of course, it is impossible for her to have such a keen sense.
But you can't pretend you didn't see it.
I saw a woman in a sky blue dress raise her head a little ignorantly, looked at the empty distance, and then quietly frowned.
"No one?"
The woman asked in a low voice. But he seemed to doubt his judgment a little, and then looked around.
But there was no figure, and there was no special movement.
But when she turned around, the footsteps she had just lifted had to stop.
Because a dangling tip of the sword was poking at her throat.
"What do you want?"
The woman seemed a little nervous, her chin was shrunk back by the tip of the sword, and she could still see under her snow-white neck. The tiny Adam's apple moved.
Although he was nervous, he was bold, not only did he not scream, but he also asked in a calm tone.
The man who came sent the sword in his hand forward.
"He is worthy of being the first powerful person beside his wife, and his kung fu is really good."
The man's voice was a little low, hoarse and unnatural, and if he had not been injured, he had deliberately lowered it like this.
Hiding his face and voice, and knowing Anno's identity, is he really a thief?
"Your Excellency is also very good. There are not many people who have the courage to break into Jin Xianyuan at night. ā
Xi Muyan couldn't help but say sarcastically. Although Anno usually has a strained face and few words, she is not a person who can't speak, but she is just arrogant and too lazy to interact with everyone, let alone give anyone who has offended her a good look.
So even if she talks like that. It is also very in line with Anno's temperament.
The man snorted, and seemed to be a little proud, I don't know if it was because of Xi Muyan's sarcasm, or because of the dog guts who broke into Jinxian Garden at night.
"Miss Anno is really bold, and she can be calm in this situation, but I don't know if she can do what she needs to do after a while?"
The man finished laughing, but suddenly said such a sentence.
Xi Muyan's face then changed.
What does this man mean when he can say such things?
He's the one who knows the inside story! So, one of the helpers scheduled for tonight? Xi Muyan had some doubts in his heart. Although Anno did not participate in the whole plan, but as the most important part of it, Su Yan dared to do this to her? Aren't you afraid of her temporary backlash?
"What do you mean?!"
The woman's expression was a little unnatural, but she quickly retracted into an expressionless face and asked.
"It's not interesting." The man chuckled. The voice was still not very good, but it could be felt, for example, when he lowered his voice and spoke, it was a little brighter.
This person should not be very old.
If this is the case, then the cultivation he showed is not a disguise, but a true mid-stage Jindan.
But a little Jin Dan dares to spread wild in the Misty Mansion, which is simply tired and crooked.
Xi Muyan took a sip of him inwardly, but stared at the man silently on the surface.
The man slowly put the sword back, thrust it behind his back, and said half-sideways: "I'm just here to remind Miss Anno to act as soon as possible while the mansion master has not returned, if the opportunity is delayed, the consequences will be unimaginable." ā
Disastrous?
Xi Muyan narrowed his eyes slightly, what kind of consequences could it have? Could it be that Su Yan's ability is already so great that he can silently kill the people around his mother?
"I don't understand what you're talking about." Xi Muyan said lightly.
The man didn't seem to expect the woman in front of him to be very tough, and he still didn't admit it, and the hand resting on his waist moved slightly.
"It's not wise to play dumb." The man's tone was a little stiff, as if he was very dissatisfied with Xi Muyan, he pointed to the room that was still lit not far away and said, "We are people in the same boat, you don't have to pretend in front of me." Miss Suyan has already told me her plan. ā
"Oh?" Xi Muyan curled the corners of his mouth, although his tone was still calm, but he showed a trace of dissatisfaction: "What is the plan, why don't I know, why don't you tell Your Excellency to hear it?" ā
The man smiled this time, he dusted off his sleeves, pretended to sigh, and then said: "You don't have to be angry, I have been by Miss Suyan's side for more than ten years to get such trust, and you can't envy it." ā
Envy? Xi Muyan sneered in his heart, he didn't expect that he was still a big fish, and he had been hiding in the mansion for more than ten years for so long, it seemed that he might be able to gain a lot tonight.
Xi Muyan turned his hand behind his back. quietly gestured, thinking that Pei Yaqing could comprehend.
After a while, I'll treat you well.
Pei Yaqing, who was hidden in the shadows, couldn't help but pout when she saw Xi Muyan's movements. It's not your style to get angry so easily.
"Hmph, in that case, what are you doing here?"
Xi Muyan still looked dissatisfied, she didn't know much about this plan at present, and she was a little worried that there would be fish that would slip through the net, but she didn't expect to doze off just now. Someone brought pillows to the door. You claim to know the whole plan, and I'm sorry for myself if I don't take any words from you.
Since you're so proactive, I'm embarrassed not to laugh at it.
"Miss, let me remind you." The man snorted. He regarded himself as Gao Annuo, and naturally he didn't like Anno to look at him.
"I've got my own measure, you can go."
Xi Muyan put one hand behind his back and walked forward without squinting.
"Let's go? Miss Anno, although you are very important, I advise you not to think about making your own decisions. Just as Anno walked past him, the man grabbed Xi Muyan's shoulder.
Xi Muyan glanced at it. This hand is quite white, and there is actually a small mole on the inside of the wrist, but the black sleeves are attached there, if it weren't for the sharp eyes of Xi Muyan, it would really be invisible.
With such obvious characteristics, I'm not afraid that you will run.
Xi Muyan felt proud in his heart. But he glanced at the man coldly, and said in a deep voice: "Did Miss Suyan ask Your Excellency to come to find fault with me?" If you don't worry about me so much, you can do it yourself. ā
Pei Yaqing stared at that hand, and couldn't wait to go up and chop it directly into mashed meat.
My Muyan's shoulders are also something you can buckle, good guy, look at how I treat you well.
The man didn't know that he had been targeted by someone, and when he saw that the woman in front of him seemed to be angry, he grinned, let go of his hand and said, "I'm naturally here to help you, and there are a few others." I have already sneaked to Yuetang first. So, Miss Anno can go and prepare, I'll go first. ā
After saying that, he dodged away.
Xi Muyan stared at the place where the man disappeared and clenched his fists fiercely.
Tonight will leave you with no return.
Pei Yaqing glanced at Xi Muyan's back as he left in a hurry. Then he floated out like a night shadow, and embellished the man in the distance.
Although he hasn't come to Jinxian Yuan for a long time, he also lived here when he was a child, and he won't go wrong with his eyes closed.
What kind of trick is this guy playing?
Seeing that the black shadow was about to disappear from sight, Pei Yaqing was a little undecided, whether to follow this person, or go to Yuetang to help Xi Muyan?
Xi Muyan walked through the corridor with his hands down, and opened another door, the luminous stone inlaid on the door emitted a dim light, which looked a little hazy, and when Xi Muyan stepped in, a voice sounded in his ears: "Sister Anno is back." ā
glanced at it, it seemed to be the maid who happened to be following her mother that day and happened to give Pei Yaqing cloth vegetables, looking gentle and polite, very approachable.
Xi Muyan nodded casually and asked, "Madame is resting?" ā
The woman closed the door behind her before shaking her head and said, "Madame seems to have something on her mind, she was already lying down, but she got up again." ā
Up again?
Xi Muyan's heart jumped, did something happen?
"What's going on?"
The woman shook her head and said, "Madame didn't say it, and I didn't dare to ask, but fortunately, Sister Anno is back, so it's better to persuade Madame to drink the medicine and rest quickly." ā
"Madame hasn't drunk any medicine yet?"
Xi Muyan raised her eyebrows, she learned from Anno's memory that her mother had to drink some medicinal soup that regulates qi and invigorated blood every day, so she couldn't drink it when Anno wasn't there, right?
"Sister Anno knows, it's okay for us to fool around on weekdays, but today's lady has something on her mind, so she is more serious, in terms of conditioning skills, we can't do it, we still need my sister to come."
Xi Muyan nodded.
I see, so to put it this way, Anno is also out to avoid suspicion? And if you deceive yourself, you will justifiably blame yourself.
It's a pity that things didn't go well, so Anno had to turn around and take the medicine in person, and cooperate with those people, if it happened, it is estimated that everyone here will not be alive.
Thinking of this, a sneer appeared at the corner of Xi Muyan's mouth.
The abacus played well, but unfortunately, I found the wrong person.
