Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Merry Man in Black

Until, with her strength, she couldn't turn anymoreβ€”

"What should I do?"

There are heavy guards outside, and even if there is a hydrangea guarding outside, it is by no means as safe as imagined.

And in this secret room, the fragrance of fragrant flowers has become more and more intense.

If the fragrant flowers bloom, not only will the trip that they risked death run away in vain, but even the priceless fragrant grass will lose its value.

Thinking of this, Chu Xuewei became more and more nervous.

She exhaled slowly, forcing herself to calm down.

With the faint light, she took a closer look at the words on the compass.

Although she couldn't understand the literal meaning, the ancient characters were always square and square, and she could still guess some of them more or less.

"Sub...... Yin ......"

Chu Xuewei's eyes lit up: This is clearly the Yin and Yang Bagua Array!

When I studied pharmacology by myself before, I used to study some ancient pharmacology. So although I don't know a lot about the gossip of the five elements of yin and yang, I still know a little bit about it.

"Zi Rat Yinhu ......" Chu Xuewei held her breath and concentrated, pinched her fingers and began to gently turn the compass-

"Cluck-"

After an extremely slight sound, the outermost formation was actually unraveled by her.

Chu Xuewei felt a burst of ecstasy in her heart, and hurriedly settled her mind, patiently understanding the second and third layers-

Until the whole circle was only the last and most central layer, she suddenly frowned, because she couldn't solve the last layer.

The more the compass is centered, the less likely it is to open, and the greater the probability of miscalculation.

"The last level, I can't give up!"

Chu Xuewei took a deep breath and was about to try her luck one last time.

She turned the pointer to 45 degrees north-south, pointed the finger at Yinhu's position, and was about to press the center switch button when she suddenly felt a slight sound behind her.

Damn, she'd just been so engrossed in the compass that she didn't even notice someone had sneaked in.

Chu Xuewei shot the poisonous powder out of her fingers almost at the same moment as she turned around.

Sure enough, just two meters behind her, a man in black spun around and jumped up, using his internal force to disperse all the poisonous powder.

"We're just one last step away!"

Taking advantage of this gap, Chu Xuewei turned around and was about to press the switch.

In any case, let's take out the grass first.

However, just as her fingertips were about to touch the button, a black satin cloth suddenly reached behind her, which was wrapped around her wrist, making her unable to move.

"You ......" Chu Xuewei lowered her voice and glared back at the man in black angrily.

As soon as he stretched out his hand, he drew a short knife from his ankle and cut the silk cloth cleanly.

But before the knife could be withdrawn, the man in black had already flashed in front of him.

Chu Xuewei has no internal strength, and she doesn't know any advanced martial arts.

But after all, after so many years in the army, some basic self-defense skills are still good, and there will be no problem in dealing with ordinary men.

So Chu Xuewei simply turned around and fought with the man.

She has a knife in her hand and poisonous powder on her fingertips, as long as she finds the right time, she still has a chance to win.

The two fought like this for a few rounds, and Chu Xuewei found that the man in black didn't seem to be trying to take his life.

He just defends, but he doesn't attack.

Chu Xuewei was so angry that she simply stabbed the knife at the chest of the man in black.

It's just that her knife has just come close, and the man in black turns sideways, causing her to pounce in the air.

She tripped over the deliberately raised leg of the man in black. She let out a low cry and straightened forward.

Seeing that she was about to be thrown and eaten, a big hand suddenly appeared on Leng Buding's waist and wrapped around her thin waist.

A joking voice sounded: "What, if you can't win, you're going to throw yourself into your arms?" ”

This voice is a man!

But this rough and deep voice showed that he had hidden his true voice.

"Throw a fart!" Chu Xuewei couldn't help but curse, and the whole person stood up quickly.

With his backhand, he threw a handful of poison powder at the man.

The man jumped back, and a sneer overflowed from his lips: "Your poison is indeed very powerful, but my light skills are even more powerful!" ”

Chu Xuewei snorted coldly.

She can see that this man in black is a flower thief!

From the beginning of the fight, he let him make his own moves, relying on his fast movements, touching his little hands for a while, and grabbing his thin waist for a while, clearly to eat his own tofu!

If you still do it with him, it will be in line with his heart!

Thinking of this, Chu Xuewei simply threw out all the poisonous powder in her hands.

Taking advantage of the man's retreat, she quickly ran to the door of the secret room, ready to press the switch.

But at this moment, the man's ghost-like figure flickered slightly, and flashed to Chu Xuewei's side.

A big palm pressed on the back of her hand, and the internal force was so strong that she couldn't use any strength in her hand: "If you want to call the entire Prince's Mansion over, then you can press it!" ”

But at this time, where would Chu Xuewei still believe in this disciple?

She was annoyed and struggled, but she still couldn't break free, so she lowered her voice: "Who are you?" Why do you want to go against me? ”

The man approached, exhaled heat in her ear ambiguously, and put his free left hand on her waist: "Guess, guess who I am?" ”

The man surrounded him from behind, and a pair of arms encircled Chu Xuewei in his arms.

At this time, while his mouth was saying unclean words, his left hand was restlessly moving.

When he was treated like this by Gong Xiuzhu before, he only felt nervous and ashamed. But now that I am being touched by this man, why do I feel sick to my stomach?

Thinking of this, Chu Xuewei immediately erupted.

She didn't know where she got the strength, so she threw her left hand into the face of the man behind her.

But the expected crisp slap did not sound, and Chu Xuewei's wrist was grasped by him.

Chu Xuewei struggled desperately, and saw that she was about to plant in front, but the man behind her reached over and scooped up her body.

Chu Xuewei, who was still half-hanging in the air, lowered her head in disbelief, and found that the two big hands stretched out behind her were holding her waist impartially.

This disciple!

Chu Xuewei was so angry that her brain went blank at this time, and she stared down in shock at the hands that stopped in front of her waist.

"Bastard!"

Chu Xuewei scolded coquettishly, and a backhand was pumped hard towards the face of the man behind her.

"Smack!"

Only a crisp sound was heard, and the man seemed to be stunned.

Chu Xuewei was embarrassed and indignant, and was about to pounce, but the man grabbed her hands.

She lifted her leg and kicked it over.

The man was also subtle, and directly reached out to pick her up.

"Bastard! You let go of me! Do you know who I am? Chu Xuewei was angry and scolded openly.

The man walked slowly to the door of the secret room, looking very interested: "Tell me, I really don't know you." ”

Chu Xuewei continued to roar: "Grandma is the princess of the dignified Seventh Prince!" You, a flower thief, dare to take advantage of me, believe it or not, believe it or not, I asked the Seventh Prince to break your body into pieces? You let go of me! ”

"Whew!"

The man's lips pulled up a sneer, and he set out to crack the last layer of the compass: "Seventh Prince? ”

Chu Xuewei nodded vigorously: "That's right!" Seven Princes! Gong Xiuzhu is my husband, and he is obedient and pampered to me. If you know each other, let me go, and I can spare your life!" ”

The man concentrated on untwining the compass and took the time to mock Chu Xuewei: "Does the Seventh Prince know that his princess came to Prince Xiao's mansion in the middle of the night to steal things?" ”

"Of courseβ€”" Before Chu Xuewei finished speaking, she hurriedly covered her mouth.

Oh no, she must have been so stupid just now!

How can anyone in the world who steals things report his name?

If Gong Xiuzhu knew about this, he would not die, and he would definitely have to shed his skin!

Thinking of this, Chu Xuewei was angry and annoyed, and she couldn't wait to faint directly.

But at this moment, a very soft sound suddenly came from the silent night: "Click! ”

The door to the secret room was opened!

Chu Xuewei's eyes lit up, and she looked at the door in front of her in disbelief, dumbfounded.

While the man opened the door, he also put Chu Xuewei down.

Chu Xuewei saw at a glance the fragrant grass in the compartment that was filled with transparent porcelain.

From the outside, the grass is a very ordinary grass, but the leaves are the color of a seven-colored rainbow.

"Found it!" Chu Xuewei hurriedly rushed over and took out the Fuyu grass and put it in her arms.

When I looked back again, I found the man leaning against the door with his chest crossed.

The eyes that were exposed to the outside were narrow, staring at themselves tightly.

Chu Xuewei looked at him defensively, then took out a letter from her arms and put it in place.

Finally, he raised his head and said to the man: "Looking at your dress, it is clear that you are also here to steal." Why, there's nothing you want here? ”

Chu Xuewei took a closer look at this room and found that there were actually a lot of precious things in it.

The man shrugged: "Who said you sneaked here to steal?" ”

Chu Xuewei glanced at him: "Yes, maybe you have taken a fancy to the little girl here and came to pick flowers!" ”

"I've helped you unlock the password, tell me, how are you going to repay me?" The man's eyes were crooked, and he was clearly smiling.

Chu Xuewei snorted coldly, and was about to speak, but suddenly there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside.

"There are assassins, come and catch them!"

Chu Xuewei's little face turned white, miserable, could it be that the hydrangea was discovered, right?

The man turned his head and heard footsteps getting closer and closer: "Since I helped you once, I don't mind helping you again!" ”

After speaking, he suddenly rushed forward and hugged Chu Xuewei.

"Hey...... Bastard, you, you let go of me! ”

Chu Xuewei struggled violently, kicked and pounded at the man, and her face turned white with anger.

The man jumped up to the second floor and threw her out of the second floor window.

A second before Chu Xuewei was thrown out, she heard an extremely pleasant voice in her ears: "I will go looking for you." ”

With a "bang", the man locked himself in the room. After a while, there was a sound of fighting in the room.

Outside the window, Chu Xuewei was thrown out, and with a "poof", she fell directly to the ground.

Strangely, though, she didn't feel the slightest pain.

When I looked down, I saw that there was already a thick layer of dead grass underneath me.

She raised her eyes suspiciously and looked in the direction of the window on the second floor: "Could it be that he has already prepared these things?" ”

The sound of fighting from the second floor became more and more intense, and the footsteps outside the courtyard became more frequent.

Chu Xuewei knew that if she didn't leave now, she was afraid that she would be caught by the guards who rushed over.

"No matter, run first!"

Chu Xuewei bent down and ran out quickly along the high wall.

I don't know how long I ran, seeing that the side door was in front of her, Chu Xuewei's eyes lit up, her heart was ecstatic, and her steps were much brisker.

But at this moment, a sneer suddenly came from behind him: "What person? Hold it! ”

Depend on!

Chu Xuewei wailed in her heart.

How come it's that you've already walked ninety-nine steps, but you've been caught at the last step?

"Stop?" There was another angry rebuke behind him.

Chu Xuewei didn't care, if she really stood still at this time, there was something wrong with her brain.

Suddenly, there was a rustling sound behind him.

As soon as Chu Xuewei's hand hit the latch of the door, a cold blade suddenly hit her neck: "I'm not welcome to move again!" ”

Feeling the coldness on her neck, Chu Xuewei simply gave up resistance.

This is the rich grass that I got after going through a lot of difficulties and dangers, and was even taken advantage of by others, and I failed when I was only one step away from victory......

"Huh!"

The black cloth on her face was torn off, and Chu Xuewei only felt that her eyes were bright.

When she looked at it again, a surprised voice suddenly sounded in her ears: "Xue Wei? ”

This voice is......

Chu Xuewei squinted her eyes, pushed the lantern away a little, and sure enough, she saw Xiao Nianhong's handsome face.

"Uh...... It's you......" she smiled awkwardly.

Alas, if a person is unlucky, he will really stuff his teeth with cold water.

In addition to being pleasantly surprised, after seeing Chu Xuewei's unnatural face, Xiao Nianhong looked back at the low building, and suddenly understood something: "It's you?" ”

Chu Xuewei gritted her teeth and simply said, "Lord Shizi, I'm sorry...... I've heard that there's a fragrant grass in the Prince's Palace, and I'd like to borrow it...... I've left a letter in the back room, and in a month's time, I'll return the two......"

Xiao Nianhong looked at Chu Xuewei with some complicated eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Chu Xuewei looked guilty: "I know that Fuyu grass is very precious...... But yours is almost blooming! If it hadn't been refined before it bloomed, it would have become a weed, and it would be useless, so I ......."
