(687) Her acquaintance

- Thieves generally choose to operate in the dark night, which is convenient for concealment, but there is always a small amount of things in the world that are not routine, and the same is true for thieves. But there are some rules to follow in the exceptions, the thieves who dare to visit the house during the day, and still enter the Song Mansion, which is surrounded by a five-fold labyrinth-like mansion inside and out, this uninvited guest is probably the kind of thief who whispers and steals more than steals.

People who have been in the business for a long time will inevitably get into trouble, and Ruan Luo's mansion naturally has a nursing home with martial arts. In addition, because of his lesser-known identity, the number of guards left behind in his mansion is absolutely sufficient, and there are several good players among them.

Yang Chen gradually understood the meaning of Mo Ye's words just now, and immediately prepared to summon someone, but was stopped by Mo Ye.

Mo Ye said: Whether it is a thief or a living visitor, naturally there are nursing home guards who are in charge of it, and the number of inspections they usually make is relatively intensive.

However, her real intention in stopping Yang Chen was not that she believed that the Song Mansion's self-prepared guards were meticulous enough. Thinking of the sound of conversation coming from the courtyard where Bai Tao had stayed for a while just now, Mo Ye still wanted to see with his own eyes for a strange guest who might still be staying in the house.

If you want to do this, you can't bring anyone else with you. For Wu Shu's advice, Mo Ye has always been meticulously abiding, and her martial arts practice is still preserved to this day.

Mo Ye's words reminded Yang Chen of something, he paused slightly, and then turned back, and said with a relaxed expression: You are right, if there is really anyone who does not come in, it is the turn of those strong men to show their skills. Let's just say that I've been hired here for almost three years, and I haven't seen any turmoil in the house, and I haven't even had a small mess.

Mo Ye heard the love of waiting to watch the play from his words, she only smiled softly and didn't say anything more.

Only people who are confident that their home is safe enough will face the invasion of thieves with such a relaxed and even playful posture. However, in Mo Ye's opinion. If the strange noise felt by the dark horse came from the person Bai Tao had seen, this thing would be a little weird and difficult to distinguish.

It was also because of this small change encountered today that Mo Ye re-examined the weight of his position in the mansion under his feet for the first time. The weight of her identity mainly comes from Ruan Luo's approval and assistance, which Bai Tao also has. But in addition, Bai Tao has another identity advantage that she cannot fully match, that is, the deployment of all the attendants and servants in the mansion.

Of course, Mo Ye also has the power to dispatch these people, but in terms of specific skills, she is much thinner than Bai Tao, and even has some servant names. She's going to call for an exit. You still have to look at the man's face and think about it.

And Bai Tao has long intersected with these people. Not only can the roll call be done at hand, but also almost dialytic the temper style of most people, and some of them may have received her favor in an extraordinary environment. Or do something for her that is not a servant.

If you retreat from the question of identity, whether it is a servant or a master, you are all human. What you can do, I can do too. But there are some things, if you can borrow someone else's hand to do it, so as not to get fishy suspicion on yourself, then of course it is the best.

If Bai Tao is really as Wu Shu guessed a long time ago, there may be a dark shadow hidden in the ravine in her heart, then with her current identity in the Song Mansion. Coupled with Ruan Luo's trust in her, if she wants to do something, no matter how big the Song Mansion is and how strict the guards are, I am afraid that it will be as light as a bowl of water in her hand, and she can fiddle with it as much as she wants. If you want it to spill a few drops to the east, it will never slant a little to the west.

But is that really the case?

Why can't a white peach be an ordinary person?

If this matter can be chosen by himself, Mo Ye really hopes that Bai Tao is just a simple person. After all, when she first came to this strange mansion, Bai Tao gave her a lot of help, and indirectly completed some trivial things that she should master as a woman. For such a person who has grown up with him for a while, it is impossible for Mo Ye not to have some feelings for her.

The fact that she is hiding martial arts cannot absolutely explain anything. Maybe this ability is because in the early years, Master Song was often not at home, and she learned to protect herself. After all, in the early years, when Kyoto was only a small county of Koyo near the sea, the security order here was still very poor.

Thinking of this, Mo Ye has always just remembered what Wu Shu had told her, but she didn't look at Bai Tao differently word by word, seeing each other in the morning and evening, getting along with each other, and still calling her Sister Bai Tao every time.

But because of the unfamiliar voice he overheard today, and Bai Tao's obvious deliberate concealment, Mo Ye lost his balance in his heart. On one side of this scale is her trust, and on the other side is the heart of Bai Peach.

Gently caressing the neck of the black horse's shiny mane, watching it gradually quiet down, lowering his head and picking up a bunch of beans and continuing to chew, the silent Mo Ye had recalled the conversation he had just heard outside the courtyard several times, and considered the countermeasures.

In fact, when Mo Ye heard the unfamiliar voice coming from the small courtyard before, the situation she thought of at the first moment was roughly right.

In addition to Bai Tao in that courtyard, there is another person who is indeed not an acquaintance in the Song Mansion, but she is familiar with Bai Tao, so she can avoid all the courtyard guards in the house and come and go freely.

After Bai Tao separated from Mo Ye, she did not summon people to go out to find Xiaocao as she said. After she was out of Mo Ye's line of sight, she quickly turned and entered another secluded house. She knew very well that this room was full of miscellaneous items that were not commonly used, and few people came to take care of them, so it naturally became a good place to prevent others from paying attention and meet close friends.

Closing the door with his backhand, Bai Tao saw a masked man in the slightly dim utility room. Unlike the nocturnal walker who walks on the cornice, this man is not dressed in black, his dress is generally seen in the streets, and his face is not covered with black cloth, but a pale blue silk cloth with small blue flowers, somewhat like the headscarf wrapped around the head of a girl selling eggs.

Bai Tao has long been accustomed to the flickering of this person's whereabouts. It took her half a year to complete the mapping of the Song House, and it took her half a year to complete the painting and hand it over, including how many wells there are in the house, where are the locations, and the role of each single courtyard and special case notes, which have not been missed in her pen. As early as when she opened the door and came in, Bai Tao had already expected that she would see this old acquaintance in this room. If she only saw a room full of miscellaneous items at this time, she would have thought it strange.

There were a few rays of light cast down from the skylight, and the light was full of floating dust particles, but it was such an obscure light, still enough to illuminate the smooth and white forehead of the masked man, with eyebrows like willow leaves, eyes closed for half a moon, and it was a woman.

The conversation between Bai Tao and the masked woman just now was not over, so she continued here.

The girl who suddenly came just now was Mo Ye? When the masked woman saw Bai Tao again, her first sentence was very direct.

Bai Tao nodded, but she was a little confused about the purpose of her sudden question.

The masked woman said lightly: It seems that you made a mistake in choosing the meeting time this time, and she should not be in the house at this time.

Bai Tao hurriedly explained: She still has to go out to deliver posts today, according to her habits in the previous two days, she shouldn't come back so soon, there will be a few changes in a long day, and it is rare for me to grasp it all. After a little hesitation, she said again: ...... However, you came half an hour later than expected, what's going on?

Thinking of the reason why she was delayed for half an hour on the way here, the masked woman's heart moved slightly, but because she was covered with her face, her expression still tended to calm from the perspective of others.

It was also indirectly reminded by Bai Tao, the masked woman realized that she could not stay outside for a long time, she did not mention the reason to Bai Tao, but directly picked up the topic that was interrupted by Mo Ye's sudden arrival just now, and said in a deep voice: What I said to you just now, you have to remember. As for what you just asked, why since I have come over, the plan still needs to be kept old, you don't need to ask the reason again, of course, this is carefully considered by the master.

Bai Tao lowered his eyes and replied in a deep voice.

It's time for me to go back. The masked woman said that she was about to pick up and leave, and when she reached the door, she said, "For a few days after that, do not hand the pigeons out, but take the pigeons that come from there." Maybe the next time we meet, things won't have to be as troublesome as they were in those days before that.

Bai Tao raised his gaze, and a hint of brightness slipped in his eyes.

She is tired of drawing too many circles and dots on life like this, and she must step accurately at every step. She wanted to end it as soon as possible, so when she learned from the masked woman that her plan had changed, her anxiety rarely went out of control.

It's just to erase the traces of a person's existence in this world, and of course the sooner this kind of thing is done, the better, because the longer a person lives in this world, the more traces will be left, and the master in the palace should understand this principle.

And when this person who must disappear disappears disappears, only traces of her white peach will be left on the canvas of Song Zhai.

There was a small throbbing in Bai Tao's heart, like a dragonfly pausing for a moment on the calm surface of the lake, and the needle-like whiskers drew a slight and almost indistinguishable water pattern, and instantly returned to calm.

Seeing the masked woman's hand pressed on the edge of the wooden door, ready to open the door, Bai Tao suddenly remembered something again, and hurriedly called: Wait......-
