Chapter 402: I Met a Master Again
"This texture is beautiful? Well, maybe it's a little good-looking. Xiao Rui took this in a second. His eyes deliberately avoided the strip of cloth I handed over, but the faint love in his eyebrows still entered my eyes.
"I have just seen these lines in His Highness's mansion, I don't know if His Highness is very fond of this?" I didn't relax and asked him about it, but Xiao Rui was obviously unhappy. He clutched the strip of cloth in his hand, as if trying to crumple it.
It seems that I am asking the right question, Xiao Rui may indeed have a lot to do with the killing of my people. Otherwise, just mentioning the matter of lines, why would he be so evasive and alienated?
After trying out what I wanted to know, I already had a clear plan in mind. Xiao Rui, along with that group of killers, is indeed involved in an unclear relationship, and he seems to be quite reluctant to mention these obscure past events.
"Isn't this for the little girl, Your Highness, but why do you hold it tightly and refuse to let go? Isn't it such a rare object, His Highness gave birth to it, and he is unwilling to lend it to the little girl as a cover for shame? "I found a set of rhetoric, and Fang cleverly avoided the topic of Fang Cai.
Once this topic is bypassed, the sadness on Xiao Rui's face has faded a lot. He looked at me and handed me the strip of cloth with some strange function again.
I honestly took it and slung it over my shoulder. It is really a big world to say, and what kind of method did these imperial palace powers use to obtain these ancient monsters?
For example, this "strip of cloth" that is now placed on my shoulders and can be arbitrarily changed in length, thickness and length?
I held the strip of cloth in my hand tighter, and then suppressed the hatred and anger in my heart, and asked Xiao Rui for instructions: "Your Highness, where are we going?" Xiao Rui came to his senses, and then pulled my hands again.
We are still circling around the Ruiwang Mansion, and the difference may only be whether we are lost or not. The host and guest who climbed such a mansion are free to be led by him.
"There is a master here in this king, and the wound on your back may only need to be pressed to be unhindered." Xiao Rui stopped in front of a door and stared at me to talk.
"Well, okay, but I really don't care." As soon as I thought about being pressed by someone's hand, I felt numb all over my body.
"No, be obedient." Xiao Rui comforted me like a dog raised by his own family, and I stepped into the room with gentle steps.
It seemed that there was only half a candle lit inside, and the faint light was very dazzling with the night. My pace was a little unsteady, and I almost stumbled.
"You support this king, this person is a strange person, so he has many quirks that ordinary people don't understand, and the habit of not lighting the lamp at night in this king's mansion is also set up for him." Xiao Rui held me up, and on the other hand, he boasted to me about this person's net worth.
I was a little confused, but vaguely thought it was going to be a "great character." We walked a little further inside, and we saw the true face of the so-called "master".
It was an old man who was even dying, his face was gray, but his innate temperament was still impressive.
He was sitting at the table, his brows furrowed slightly, as if he was secretly screaming at the medicine in the jar. I walked a few steps, and before I could reach his side, I was frightened by his terrifying eyes.
That kind of look is like being able to see the secrets of people's hearts, and after I was coldly glanced at by him, I immediately lost the original sense of righteousness. Terrible things followed, and I was caught off guard by them. Including the words of that master, including Xiao Rui's suspicion of my other life.
"Your Highness's visit at night, is it the one who has brought disaster to the old man?" As he spoke, the old man turned his gaze to me again. "No, it's just an ordinary woman, her back was injured, and this king brought him to look at the master." Xiao Rui looked at me, and then explained his intention to the "master".
"Hmph, what ordinary woman? The old man could see at a glance what kind of fate that girl had, she was by no means an ordinary woman. "As soon as the master spoke, he saw my identity thoroughly. He said to Xiao Rui the meaning of my trouble, and Xiao Rui's mind seemed to change because of his words.
He twisted his head slightly, then looked into my eyes, and for a moment we looked at each other, but stopped talking. With the development of the situation in my mind, I spoke with all my strength to exonerate myself.
"This old man, what kind of grudge does the little woman have against you, and why do you belittle the little woman's character like this? What is this fate, it is determined by heaven, even if the little woman wants to go against the sky, she can only end up with no bones. "I sighed to myself, and my words were full of bitterness and weak arguments.
These words didn't seem to have any effect, Xiao Rui still looked at me with a strange gaze, but the old man changed his mind and beckoned to me.
It is a difficult choice for me to decide whether to go or not, after all, people are unpredictable, and who knows that this trip will affect my safety?
I thought about it for a while, but I still moved my steps towards the man. During the walk, the old man's eyes kept glued to my face, and I, in order not to reveal the true meaning of my heart, had to disguise myself as a calm appearance.
"Dare to ask the old man, what is the matter with you calling me?" As soon as I spoke, the old man smiled slyly. The corners of his eyes were full of wrinkles, and the cold look in his eyes made me even more timid.
"Old gentleman?" I clenched my palms again and asked, and the old man's hand came to my face. I didn't have time to dodge my body, so I was defeated. Looking at the human leather goods held in the old man's palm, my heart suffocated inexplicably.
"Your Highness, do you want to take a clear look and see what kind of calamity you have brought to the old man?" The old man walked around the table and chairs while holding a mask and approaching Xiao Rui in a daze, I saw the expression on Xiao Rui's face clearly, and his horror made me even more frightened.
I stood quietly aside, not avoiding or dodging, and now all I was waiting for was Xiao Rui's first words. "Your Highness, you can see clearly, but you still need the old man to take a few steps forward?" When the old man was only a stone's throw away from Xiao Rui, he actually asked again, and Xiao Rui answered this question with his lips open.
"This is the leather goods that have been rumored to be disguised." The words of affirmation do not hide any suspicion. It seems that Xiao Rui also knew the secret of the human skin mask in the world early on.
"Then, this person is close to your thoughts, so you don't need to say more about it." The old man looked back at me, still with a terrible smile on his lips.
Could it be that this old man is not a good fruit? Otherwise, how could he help Xiao Rui's guy like that?
It's over, it's over, it's in the wolf's den! Phew, these two goods in front of me are at most wild dogs, raccoon dogs!
