Yuzhu Gongyuan -

At the end of the day's practice, Du Zhangshi sent someone to call Gu Yunxi to the main hall.

Sitting upright on the rose chair, seeing Gu Yunxi's generous salute, Du Zhangshi smiled and was satisfied.

When Gu Yunxi got up, he said to her:

"There was news in the palace yesterday that Chuxiu Palace is in urgent need of manpower, and I want to assign you there on an errand. Xu Niangniang is famous for her cold temperament, but she is always a good master to serve. A year ago, she got the prince, and her status was much more solid.

I'm thinking about you as well. Because you have a flat complexion and no illustrious background, if you miss such an errand, it will be difficult to find it again. And some time ago, you offended the Lord Mingdu, and then sent to the palace, if the internal officials give you a dirty place to bury at will, you will not know.

For now, I'll just explain it to you as clearly as possible, and you'll have to take it up to you in the end. ”

Gu Yunxi was grateful, looked at the woman with a friendly look for a moment, took two steps back, bent her knees and knelt again, rubbed her hands respectfully, and bowed deeply to the palm:

"Twilight's entry into the Tribute House is all taken care of by the aunt in charge, and now everything is in the hands of the aunt. If he can get ahead, he will never forget his aunt's kindness. ”

"Hurry up......"

Du took charge of the matter, pulled Gu Yunxi up, and shook her little hand again, showing a slight sadness with a smile on his face:

"I know you're not as muna as they say you are, you can stand there and put on such a standard posture, and you're certainly a smart person, but you're just very good at protecting yourself. It's good to be able to pretend to be confused, but if you can't help yourself, it's really difficult at that time. ”

The words that didn't have too much tone easily touched the softest part of Gu Yunxi's heart, and while she was deeply affected by this, the consistent vigilance in her heart did not relax in the slightest.

I have to say that this Du Zhangshi is silent for a long time, but his vision is unique. After only a few days of contact, it seems that Gu Yunxi has seen through the inside and out.

Those words just now were just her whims? Isn't there really the slightest temptation?

In short, before entering the palace smoothly, there must be vigilance.

Seeing that Gu Yunxi was speechless for a long time, and only smiled at himself between the eyes, Du Zhangshi didn't say more, smiled back at her shallowly, and said softly:

"Okay, on the first day of the first month of next month, I will send someone to send you to the palace to serve. You don't have to practice with the girls for the next few days, just rest well. Tomorrow the tailor will come and let him cut you new clothes. ”

Gu Yunxi smiled sweetly after hearing this:

"Aunt Xie."

I didn't expect everything to go so smoothly.

Gu Yunxi was eager to enter the palace as soon as possible, quickly find the map that the masked monster needed, recover his free body as soon as possible, and return to someone......

Since the road of fate is not up to her, she has made up her mind and is ready to give it a go!

Late at night, the palace –

Under the stars, Lu Qiange sat on a plane tree outside the desolate cold palace wall, quietly waiting for someone's arrival.

One of his faces against the darkness of the night was extraordinarily white, like the intersection of eternal night and day. The lines of his nose and eyes are even more distinct, handsome and smooth.

He was dressed in a black suit, his black hair was tied high behind his head, and his hair fluttered in the wind, radiating a shining luster like a star.

When he was close to ugliness, Lu Qiange finally caught a glimpse of a black shadow in the corner of the wall, which was slowly squirming.

"Hey, I've been waiting for you for a whole year, but fortunately, I'm very patient and know that you will show up sooner or later."

The black shadow's laughter was low, and it was suppressed in the empty and silent palace wall, accompanied by a few owls' night chirps, which were also terrifying and abrupt.

Lu Qiange lowered his eyes and frowned.

Since the day they met each other, there was an agreement between the two of them: every fifteenth, Lu Qiange, who had excellent light skills, would sneak into the palace to see him.

A year ago, Lu Qiange committed a crime in Xichang and was arrested by Minglan everywhere, and at that time he had already returned to Xiyi thousands of miles away.

That's a year.

The dark shadow looked at the treetops and exclaimed:

"You've changed! Once upon a time you came to the palace, but you never wore a night suit! ”

Lu Qiange pulled his lips, a trace of sadness rose on his good-looking face, his face instantly dimmed, and his deep gaze suddenly looked farther:

"I'm waiting for someone, and I want to do everything to save my life before she comes back."

"What is the situation in the world...... Hehe, I didn't expect that the famous three princes of Wudan would fall under the pomegranate skirt of the woman of my Dayi country. ”

The black shadow teased, deliberately making fun of Lu Qiange's infatuation. Sure enough, this sentence immediately attracted the other party's eyebrows and glare:

"It seems that you have been very leisurely these days! A few days ago, there was a big case in the palace, which scared your emperor, but you were unmoved? ”

"Well-informed...... I only miss you, how can I be in the mood to care about others? ”

The black shadow said in a relaxed tone, and laughed again.

"Come less!"

Lu Qiange chirped and stood tall in the treetops:

"Just see that you are all right, I will stay in Dayi in the future, and I will come to see you on time."

"Walk carefully! Your wanted warrant has not been sold, and now there are still Xichang Tiqi all over the capital. ”

"Yes."

Lu Qiange didn't linger any longer, and flew out of the red wall of the deep palace in the air.

Behind the ruins, a female voice came out one after another:

"The man trapped by love is no longer useful, and the three princes of this palace can't help you, what should we do for now?"

The light of his eyes stayed at the glazed tile where Lu Qiange's figure disappeared, and the black shadow slowly straightened up and sighed:

"Wait...... We've been waiting for that for years, and it's not too late. Besides, what we want to do, now the East Factory is also doing ......"

——

In the middle of the night, Gu Yunxi was awakened by the slow sound of a flute.

Turning over and getting out of bed, she quickly dressed neatly, pulled a crack in the door and slipped into the courtyard, and flew to the upper room to look for it.

Under the tall ink-dyed dome, a red hibiscus kite is bubbling and eye-catching.

Gu Yunxi smiled slightly, knowing that it was a special signal from the masked man to contact her. Just find the location of the kite and you will find the masked man.

Gu Yunxi flew all the way to the wall, and his agile body danced in a graceful arc between the eaves and ridges.

During the trial in the stone house, she was hit by the hard stone wall or stone beam every time she controlled the light skills, and her head was bruised and covered with green bags, which then attracted the scorn of the masked man.

It's also great to be able to do your kung fu freely now.

On the hill behind the Beilu Nunnery, Gu Yunxi found the back of the Xuanyu.

She stepped forward, stopped within ten paces of him, and lowered her head:

"Your Excellency."

He nodded in response, but did not turn around, and said to the cold voice of the vast night while collecting the kite:

"You and I have been together for a year, I have taught you a lot of things, and I have passed on my own internal strength to you, and now you still refuse to call me 'Master'?"

Her complexion was slightly unanswered.

What is imparted?

Gu Yunxi secretly complained, it wasn't all his wishful thinking! If she is given the opportunity to choose, she is willing to be a carefree girl in the past, quietly guarding her beloved man......

Over there, the masked man sneered to himself, even if Gu Yunxi was silent, he knew everything about the little turn in her heart.

This girl really doesn't know what to do, she only thinks one person in her heart from beginning to end, and she hits the south wall and is full of bags and doesn't repent-

The kite was placed at his feet, and after a moment of silence, he asked:

"The Gongyuan is not the same as before, how many days have you stayed and you are still used to it?"

"Yes. On the first day of next month, they will send me to Chuxiu Palace on an errand. ”

She replied lightly, and he nodded immediately, his voice revealing a hint of joy:

"Good, well done. You grew up in the Gongyuan since you were a child, and you have heard and seen that you are not the same as those girls. I chose you in the first place, and I really found the right person. ”

Gu Yunxi bent his ten fingers slightly, clenched his fists lightly, and asked in a deep voice:

"What do you mean by secretly putting a hidden weapon in my baggage, causing me to almost be misunderstood."

The masked man laughed disapprovingly:

"The secret fruit of the flute was discovered by you, it is a gift from the teacher to you, keep it well, and it will be of great use in the future. There are a total of eighty-one poisonous needles in it, and there will be no more when they are exhausted, so use them carefully. ”

As a teacher?

Gu Yunxi is speechless, this person is also a brazen person! It doesn't matter if others want to be his apprentices or not—

"If it's a gift, why don't you give it openly?"

She raised her eyebrows, feeling impatient.

The masked man was as steady as Mount Tai, and replied loudly:

"Do you want me to send it openly? So, do you admit that I am a master? ”

“……”

Gu Yunxi was instantly dumbfounded.

Is this being wrapped around by him?

"You're the devil!"

In frustration, she clenched her fists and said angrily:

"You and I have an appointment first, I will find the map of Kunhuang Island for you, you will give me back my free body, you don't have to forget!"

"You made a deal with the devil and still want to negotiate terms?"

As soon as the words fell, the person in front of her vision suddenly turned around, and a cold mask occupied Gu Yunxi's eyes in an instant, making her heart tighten suddenly, and she didn't dare to breathe out suddenly.

The masked man did it lightly, and the sound of his steps was so slight that he could barely hear the sound.

When he missed his eyes, he floated in front of Gu Yunxi's eyes, like a monster floating without roots.

Behind the mask, a pair of cold and dark eyes, as if blending with the colors of the night, firmly caught her frightened eyes at this moment.

The cold eyes instantly became deep and distant, as if there was some kind of emotion that came out, melting the thousand-year-old iceberg condensed at the bottom of the eyes into a pool of clear water, which was full of purification, and Gu Yunxi's heart was slightly shocked.

How many times, his mysterious dark eyes would give her an irrepressible illusion that this person was like her cold governor......

What are the facial features covered under the iron mask?

"You...... So eager to be with him? ”

The white fingers stretched out in the dark night, the phalanges were long, and the shape of the hand was extremely beautiful, except for the color loss of blood and the blood was not correct.

Gu Yunxi was suddenly frightened, and he raised his feet to dodge in a restless mood, but he listened to his sharp command:

"Don't move!"

The wind blew, and her broken hair danced in panic in the night.

The hem of Xuanyu's clothes is waving in the wind, and the "horn" sounds.

His piercing white palm fell carefully on her cheek, with a slight coldness, very much like the cold and clean air of a winter morning.

In vain, his eyes were bright, and his gaze was far away.

"Someone is coming, you go first, I'll lure them away!"

"Your Excellency?"

Gu Yunxi was stunned for a moment, not knowing who the people he was referring to were.

After her martial arts were refined, her ear power was not bad, but at this time, she didn't hear any changes within a radius of several miles.

If someone really comes, it can only be said that their light skills are not bad.

"What, reluctant to me?"

The Masked Man looked at her deeply, and suddenly laughed out loud.

Gu Yunxi immediately blushed and shouted:

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

"Don't worry, you and I will come for a long time, go quickly, there are still many things waiting for you to do!"

The masked man lifted his grip and pulled out a three-foot flute from his waist.

The flute was forged in Ugin, extremely hard, and its body was scattered with colorful dazzling light, like a black mandala flower from the dark world, enchanting and eerie.

For the first time, Gu Yunxi saw a twelve-hole flute, and it was forged in metal. Rather than a musical instrument, the Tao should be seen as a weapon.

"Take care."

With a simple exit, the masked man left Gu Yunxi behind, and stepped on the verdant shrubs and grass to drive the light work to the west, and the flute sound was ethereal all the way.

Taking a deep breath, Gu Yunxi also left the Beilu Nunnery.

The masked man used his light skills to speed easily through the blades of grass, and stopped in the woods two miles to the west.

Sitting cross-legged on the ground, he continued to play the flute, looking leisurely.

Soon, the sound of "rustling" in the forest was getting closer and closer.

The figures were chaotic, and Zao Wou-Ki led a group of secret guards to lean out of the forest, densely packed with a large number of people, and they slowly outflanked the masked man in a semi-arc formation.

At the end of the tune, Leng Qingtang strode into the encirclement, dressed up at night, and expanded his body.

His thin red lips curved in a delicate arc, and he smiled easily, staring at the masked man with a pair of blazing eyes, vigilant to his every movement:

"It's a blessing to be able to have a good night on such a beautiful night."
