"What is this?" Jin Su was as puzzled as Bai Qi.

Bai Zhi half-knelt beside Jinsu God, feeling guilty and unstoppable, "Without Miss's consent, I went to see His Royal Highness the Eighth without permission, and asked Miss to punish him." ”

"What? Are you going to see the Eight-Your Highness again? Bai Qi walked up to Bai Zhi excitedly, looking even angrier than her.

"You're hiding something from me, aren't you?" Jinsu asked calmly.

Bai Zhi nodded silently.

"Are you not going to tell me now?" Jinsu asked again.

Bai Zhi hesitated.

"Sister, the three of us have grown up together since we were children, we are like sisters, and Miss is our master, do you have anything to do, do you still need to hide it from us?" Bai Qi said anxiously.

"Miss," Bai Zhi said sincerely as she knelt down in front of Jinsu, "Please rest assured, Miss, even if I die, I will never do anything that will hurt Miss and the Dark Night Gate." ”

Jin Su helped Bai Zhi up and said softly, "I believe you, you get up, you go to see His Royal Highness, do you want to send this letter to me for him?" ”

Bai Zhi didn't think about it, so she responded, "Yes!" ”

Jin Su opened the letter, and there was only a simple line of words on it, and there was not even a sign.

"At noon tomorrow, the silk village in the west of the city, see you or disperse!"

After reading it, Jin Su gently threw the letter into the brazier, watched the flames burst out, and slowly turned the letter into ashes.

"Miss, are you going?" Bai Qi asked weakly.

Jin Su smiled bitterly and said, "Can I still not go?" ”

"Miss, don't worry!" Bai Zhi said steadily, as if she wanted to give Jinsu some strength.

Although Bai Zhi refused to say anything, Jin Su could feel that she was not just a messenger.

Early the next morning, the sky was gray, and there was a feeling of dark clouds. When Bai Qi came in with breakfast, he also sighed that it might be snowing today.

After breakfast, Jin Su took Bai Qi and Bai Zhi to Yunxiang Courtyard together. After the greeting was over, Jinsu took the initiative to go to Kong Yi to help the fourth uncle see a doctor. The old lady naturally agreed with 10,000, not to mention that it was going to snow, but to put down the knife, and also encouraged Jinsu to go out.

In this way, the three of them left the house justifiably. But the only one who really went to find Kong Yi was Bai Qian.

Jin Su and Bai Zhi went directly to the silk village in the west of the city.

I don't know if it's because of the weather, there are no vendors on both sides of the road, and in the originally lively street market, only a few people are sporadic with their heads down, hurrying by themselves.

From afar, I saw that the gate of the silk village was closed, and a carriage was parked at the door.

Approaching, Bai Zhi was about to step forward and call the door. The coachman bowed his head and asked in a low voice, "Is it Miss Bai Zhi?" ”

Jinsu and Bai Zhi exchanged glances with each other, and Bai Zhi said in a straight voice, "Yes, you are?" ”

"The slave is on the order of His Royal Highness the Eighth to wait for Miss Bai Zhi here, and the two of you please get into the carriage!" With that, the coachman made a gesture of please.

Bai Zhi looked at Jin Su, and after Jin Su nodded slightly, she took the lead in getting into the carriage.

Jin Su was not surprised by Feng Yao's operation. But the more careful he was, the more it became clear that he didn't want her life. She had to think about it now, how to dissociate her from the Lord of the Night Gate, and how to protect Bai Zhi and the rest of the Night Gate people from his invasion.

The carriage made its way out of the city gently. Jin Su and Bai Zhi sat in the carriage, closed their eyes and pretended to sleep, recuperating.

"Appeal ----"

The coachman gave a long shout, and the carriage stopped.

"Two girls, it's here!"

As he spoke, the coachman opened the carriage door.

Bai Zhi took the lead in getting out, and only after standing still did she reach out to help Jinsu.

Jin Su poked his head out, and there was a white expanse outside, and there was still light snow in the sky.

"Miss, be careful!" Bai Zhi admonished.

"Where is this? Why is it snowing? Jinsu reached out and let the snowflakes fall in her hands, then watched them melt.

Bai Zhi took out a snow-white cloak from the carriage, put it on for Jinsu, and said, "It's colder in this suburb than in the city, so it snowed two days earlier. ”

"County Lord~ This way, please!"

Jin Su followed the sound and saw Kong Qing holding a sword, standing not far away.

Although it had snowed, the road on the ground was still faintly visible. Bai Zhi took Jinsu's hand and slowly walked towards Kongqing.

After following the wind for a while, I saw a small house not far away, and it seemed that the target was there.

"County Lord, please inside~" Kong Qing raised his hand and motioned for Jin Su to enter.

As soon as Jin Su stepped up a step with her dress, Kong Qing quickly made a move to stop Bai Zhi.

"Your Highness only invites the county lord to enter!"

"You ----," Bai Zhi said as she drew her sword.

"Bai Zhi," Jin Su shouted, stopping her movement in time, "just wait outside, it'll be fine." ”

Bai Zhi glared at Kong Qing, and then responded, "Yes, Miss!" ”

Jin Su walked to the door, took a deep breath, and was about to raise his hand to knock on the door, but heard Feng Yao's cold voice coming from inside, "Come in." ”

Jin Su slowly squeezed the hand that knocked on the door into a fist, put it away, breathed a sigh of relief, and pushed the door in.

"Eighth Highness~" Jin Su bowed and saluted.

Feng Yao sat next to the fire, pointed to the cushion opposite him, and said softly, "No need to be polite, there are no outsiders here, come and sit." ”

Jin Su nodded, took off his cloak and put it aside, and then sat down naturally and generously.

"It's cold outside, come on, take a sip of hot tea first!" As he spoke, Feng Yao poured a cup of hot tea for Jinsu and handed it over.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Jin Su hurriedly took the teacup and held it gently with both hands, as if to keep warm.

Feng Yao picked up a cup of tea and blew it, but instead of drinking it, he asked coldly, "Your injury, are you okay?" ”

"Huh? Oh no, it's okay. ”

Sure enough, that night, Kong Qing recognized her, but she still had a little luck before.

"You seem to be afraid of me?" Feng Yao asked, his fiery gaze staring at Jin Su tightly, as if he would not let go of any of her minor changes.

Jin Su slowly hooked the corners of his mouth, gently put down the teacup, and said frankly, "Your Highness is serious, now you are the sword, I am the fish, and your life is in your thoughts, how can you not be afraid?" ”

"Are you really from the Night Gate?"

"Didn't His Highness already know?" At this time, Jin Su has already let go, no longer nervously worried about this and that, showing his identity, but it is unprecedented relief.

"Heh~" Feng Yao sneered, "How do you feel that you have no fear?" ”

"No, His Royal Highness is wise and martial, he has released Bai Zhi, and he has never gone to the Prime Minister's Mansion to ask about the guilt, so he must have other plans, right?"

Feng Yao stared at her with a smile and a little meaning, and did not respond for a long time, as if he wanted to see her through.

Jin Su still didn't dare to look at him, turned his head, picked up the hot tea, and took two sips gently.

After a long time, Feng Yao sighed sincerely, "You are smarter than I imagined!" ”

"Ahem!"

The sudden praise almost didn't make the tea in Jinsu's mouth squirt out.

Jin Su covered his mouth and coughed a few times, and Feng Yao thoughtfully handed over a clean handkerchief.

"Thank you, Your Highness," Jin Su took the handkerchief and gently wiped the tea off the corner of his mouth.

After regaining his composure, Jin Su asked calmly, "Your Highness, since the words have already been said to this point, it is better to say it more clearly." ”

"Good!" Feng Yao responded cheerfully.

"The few people missing in the Dark Night Gate should be in the hands of His Highness, but they don't know much, I'm afraid for His Highness, not all of them are useful, I don't know what His Highness plans to do with it?" Jinsu asked.

"What they don't know, do you know?"

"Your Highness, you must also know the rules of the Dark Night Gate, each of us only knows our mission, and we don't know anything else."

"So, what is your role in the Night Gate? Bai Zhi, a person who can call on other killers, will actually obey you, and if you think about it, you will never be a simple one! Feng Yao said in a deep voice.

With Feng Yao's keen observation and logical ability, it is not something that can be fooled casually.

Jin Su thought for a moment before saying, "Your Highness may overestimate me, Bai Zhi staying by my side is just us using each other's identities as a cover, how can there be anything to obey me." With the kung fu of my three-legged cat, it is still difficult to escape, who can I command? ”

"---"

Just as the kettle on the charcoal fire was boiling, the splashed water fell on the fiery charcoal, making a "bang" sound.

Feng Yao lifted the kettle, refilled Jinsu's teacup with hot water, and sighed, "That's it, if you don't want to speak out, I won't force you." Then let me ask you, you saved me at the beginning, but you already knew my identity? ”

"I didn't know it when I was in Weicheng, but I didn't know until I arrived in Kyoto City," Jinsu told the truth.

"What is your purpose in using me to enter the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

"Recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors!"

"Are you really Ahn Sang-kook's eldest daughter?"

Jin Su raised his eyes and said calmly, "Sort of!" ”

"Heh~" Feng Yao hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled, not knowing what he meant.

Immediately after, Feng Yao got up and said, "Follow me." ”

"Huh?"

The painting wind turned too fast, and Jin Su didn't react at once, but his body still stood up obediently.

Feng Yao took two steps, looked back at her, and then turned back, picked up the cloak that Jinsu had put aside just now, opened it, and was about to drape it on her shoulders, "Put it on." ”

"Your Highness, let me come by myself," Jin Su hurriedly took the cloak and put it on himself.

After watching her dress, Feng Yao turned around and opened the door and walked outside.

Seeing Feng Yao come out, Kong Qing immediately clenched his fists and waited for his orders.

"Wait here for now!"

"Yes!" Kong Qing arched his hand, and at the same time, Bai Zhi also bowed slightly, standing respectfully aside.

Outside, it was a white expanse of snow, and there was nothing but snow. Although Jin Su undoubtedly followed Feng Yao out, he still didn't understand what he was going to do.

As I walked, there seemed to be a faint fragrance of plum blossoms in the air.
