In the past, if there was no class, Sikong Xiao would go back to the mansion outside the palace after eating, after all, he still had the title of acting head, and there were still many matters waiting for him to go back to deal with, why did he have this time to stay and watch them clean up today?

Listening to Hua Mian's question, Sikong Xiao took out a black stick less than three fingers wide from his arms and handed it to Hua Mian, Hua Mian took it and rubbed it in his hand a few times, it felt like a good wood material, the length of the forearm, I don't know what kind of tool was used to make it, it could be so smooth, as if it had been rubbed for many years.

Look at the shape again..."This is a rolling pin?" Hua Mian asked uncertainly, it was a little interesting from the appearance, but the length was much shorter than the average rolling pin.

"You really only have food in your head", hearing Hua Mian's words, Sikong Xiao sighed, took back the wooden stick from her hand, held both sides of the wooden stick with both hands, first pulled out on both sides, and after hearing a very subtle sound of 'click', rotated the two sides in different directions for most of the half a circle, and then pulled it out again, and a delicate dagger was brought out.

Sikong Xiao pulled out the dagger smoothly, and then pushed the blade back again and handed it to Hua Mian again.

"This knife is for me?" , Hua Mian didn't know what kind of sword or other weapon to use, and she didn't know why Sikong Xiao wanted to give her this knife.

Sikong Xiao saw that she didn't reach out to pick it up this time, so he handed it forward again, "Take it, use it for self-defense"

He didn't understand what he said, there are so many guards in the palace, how can he still need self-defense, he is just a chef, and it is not her turn to assassinate, when the other party pulled out this dagger just now, it seemed that a white light appeared from the blade, and it didn't look like an ordinary knife.

"For you", seeing that Hua Mian didn't answer, Sikong Xiao straightened his arm and approached the dagger in the direction of Hua Mian again.

"No, I don't think I need to defend myself, do I? It's General Zhenbei's friendly team, and how can anyone make a move on me? ”

Hearing her words, Sikong Xiao did not withdraw her hand, but continued to raise the knife in her hand, as if she was going to stretch her arm like this if she didn't follow today.

Just when Hua Mian was hesitating whether to take it, the sound of Xiao Cui and Xiao Yin talking came from outside, and the voices were getting closer and closer, as if they were about to enter the house.

Hua Mian hurriedly raised his hand to take the dagger, hid it in his arms, turned around and pretended to continue to clean up the wooden frame, Sikong Xiao also turned around and was about to leave, when he suddenly heard a small "thank you", which came into his ears, and he walked out of the kitchen without looking back.

Xiao Yin came in with water, and was laughing with Xiao Cui, when he looked up and saw Sikong Xiao coming out of the room, the two instantly stopped talking and saluted Sikong Xiao.

"Ninth Young Master"

"Mr. Xiao"

Sikong Xiao nodded slightly and walked out of the kitchen, leaving two people to look at the door where he had left.

"Why did Mr. Xiao leave at this time today?"

"The Ninth Young Master seems to be in a good mood?"

"How do you tell? Hasn't Mr. Xiao always looked like this expressionless? ”

"You don't understand this, do you?"

"Then you tell me what you think."

"If I don't tell you, it won't be fun if I tell you in the future"

……

Hua Mian heard the sound of Xiao Cui and Xiao Yin joking outside, and couldn't help but be curious, in a good mood? How did Cui see it? Why didn't I find out?
