Chapter 4: The White Rabbit, Walking East and West

Who has nothing to do would come to such a desolate and abandoned courtyard, since the Xie family was wiped out and Xie Jiusi disappeared, her father, King Nan'an, sent guards to control the door of the outer courtyard.

For three years, I relied on Jiang Lanhe to climb over the wall and come in every day to tell her something new outside. He came in the day before yesterday, and it took a long time to tell her about the ink - Xie Jiusi returned to Xie's house.

Now, she tried her best to beg her mother if she could find her father to let her out. Xie Yunrong was so worn out that she told her that there was a courtyard in the backyard that could lead to the alley alley outside.

So she was in the backyard these times, serious and carefully searching every courtyard.

It's a pity that not only did I get nothing today, but I also wasted a day's time, and even ran into an annoying second stunned. Thinking of this, she became even more angry, and turned to the young man who was smiling happily.

"If you think I'm a gentleman, I'll take you out of the house."

Her anger was extinguished in an instant, and she looked at him suspiciously. Yes, how could he appear in this backyard unknowingly, Jiang Lanhe or King Nan'an could only come in through the wall with one eye open.

The person in front of him is also dressed in white, with a moon-white plain face and fine arrowroot cloth, the collar and cuffs are inlaid with silver silk edge moire piping, and a blue auspicious cloud wide-edged brocade belt is tied around the waist.

Xie Jiusi was dressed in white, she only felt that a gentleman was like jade. Because I know him too well, I can detect some casual and prodigal style. The person in front of him was dressed in white, adding some swordsman's style.

Mo is not a charlatan.

Although he is smiling now, his expression is serious, not like a lie or joke.

"Can you go anywhere?"

"Hmm."

"You'll have to prove it to me first."

"Okay."

Sure enough, the peerless light skills and enthusiastic knights mentioned in the book are all fake. Jade Breath Lingyue led her to the house of this courtyard, where cobwebs were crisscrossed, and dust fell downward, making people cough.

He lit the candle, and with his other hand, slapped it back and forth on the yellowed wall, then stopped in one place and tapped it again and again—knock knock.

"This place is hollow."

He explained to her, and with one hand he pushed inward and stretched, and a small piece of boxy wall was pulled out like a drawer. Duanmu Yuhua tiptoed over, and there was a key and a secret lock inside.

"I'll come."

Duanmu Xihua took the key and aimed it at the lock, but after a click, the lock could not be opened. The man gave her the candle and clapped his hands three times, and then the lock opened, and another secret door slowly opened.

"If you can aim at the lock mouth at once, it naturally can't be those nine links in the ancient lock, the maze lock and the like. But if a mechanism is not opened, it is different from a simple upside-down wide lock, it should be a slap lock. ”

"Follow me and watch out for your step."

"This secret passage leads to the stove room of a restaurant outside."

"By the way, I don't know your name yet."

She followed behind him in silence, and then calmed down and thought about how he had come into the palace—through this secret passage, why was he so familiar, and whether he had expected to meet him.

What's more, she has only known him for a few hours, so it is not safe to follow him like this. Then she stopped.

"It's getting late, I won't be out today."

"You're scared now, isn't it a little late?"

She subconsciously took a few steps back, ready to turn around and run.

"If I had any ill intentions towards you, you wouldn't have had a chance to speak in the first place."

"That's not for sure, maybe you see that I'm good-looking, and you want to take the opportunity to sell me to the flower building."

“……”

Through the dim candle flame, a somewhat strange look appeared on the face of the man in front of him, and then he slowly squatted down. A burst of laughter erupted.

Duanmu Xihua: "......"

Did she say something wrong, isn't that funny?

Jade breath Lingyue smiled for a while, looked up, and a few drops of water appeared from the corners of her eyes. No, Duanmu Xihua thought, so funny that she had some misunderstanding of her appearance.

"You reminded me of my sister, and she told me that."

Duanmu Yuhua staggered and looked at him.

"What did you do to your sister to make her worry about being sold to Hualou by you."
