"Withdraw." Hou Cong said. Bai Yi still imitated his movements, looking for an unobtrusive corner as a foothold, and slowly withdrew from the ghost street. Hou Cong was silent all the time, and Bai Yi followed him for a while, and he seemed to come back to his senses.

"Hire you a horse, and you can go back."

"Where's the eldest prince?"

It seems that he has other plans.

"Naturally, I want to find some other people to check the dilapidated houses in the ghost street, where are the newly built secret passages."

Bai Yi said "oh", but still didn't leave.

Hou Cong glanced at her at this time, "Do you want to follow?" ”

After speaking, he didn't wait for Bai Yi to answer, he stood in the morning breeze and thought about things. The white clothes were waiting beside him, and the morning sun washed the glow, jumping and rising. Hou Cong came back from his own world and continued to walk, this time as if he had no intention of letting Bai Yi leave. As soon as Bai Yi left after him, he heard him say, "It's useless for you to stay, and there is no one to take care of you." ”

After knowing him for so long, Bai Yi realized that this is what he looks like the most! "Is it the eldest prince who summoned his subordinates to carry out a mission, and asked someone to go back halfway through the execution?"

"Hmph, childish," Hou Cong said, as if he was familiar with him, came back for a moment and left, "Your question is a bit reasonable, but do you want to talk to me in this tone?" ”

Bai Yi simply suspected that Hou Cong was evil, not like him at all, she grabbed his arm, the sleeve of the night robe was an arrow sleeve, wrapping the arm, Bai Yi's hand drilled in a few times, and then retreated.

Hou Cong's eyes widened, "Are you crazy?" What are you doing? ”

"Anyway, your heart disease is cured, give me the handkerchief you soaked in the potion, you are useless."

"Nonsense!" Hou Cong pulled out his arm that was still supported by Bai Yi's hands, and even shook it, leaving without looking back. Bai Yi was confused, feeling that the distance between him and him was thousands of miles. She didn't want to say what that sour nose was, so she followed back. Unconsciously walked to Gaobo Street, only to see Hou Cong turn into an alley and knock on the back door of a teahouse, the owner nodded, didn't say anything, and let the two of them go up. There are already prepared clothes waiting there, so that they can change into night clothes, this teahouse should be Hou Cong's secret sentinel. Because he didn't get an order, Bai Yi just watched Hou Cong change into his night clothes, he seemed to remember that there was a girl next to him now, and looked back at her with some dissatisfaction, "It's time for you to speak and be silent?" ”

"Say what?"

"Your own clothes have been shredded by you, or you would have sent them here for stock. Do you want to be dressed or something, and don't say anything, waiting for me to ask? Do you think I have such a good temper? Am I your wet nurse? ”

Bai Yi was bombarded with such a mindless beating, and his first reaction was to go up and touch his forehead to see if he had a fever. Hou Cong dodged her hand with disgust, "Ask someone to bring you the clothes of a female soldier to change into." ”

"I don't want to, I'd rather wear yours."

Despite saying "nonsense", Hou Cong still called someone to come, "Get her a new set of clothes that she can wear." After saying this, Hou Cong grabbed the person with his big hand and changed it to a whisper. The man listened and left. Hou Cong also left, and left a sentence, "Change your clothes and come down, don't let me go anywhere." ”

The room was empty. Bai Yi listened to his boots step on the wooden ladder and went downstairs, vaguely greeted a few people, and disappeared. A seven or eight-year-old boy came in, holding a bag of brown coarse cloth, and opened it for the white clothes, which was a bamboo blue men's shirt, obviously for young people, roughly in line with the size of the white clothes. The little servant handed over his clothes, withdrew, and closed the door and stood guard at the door. As soon as Bai Yi tried to undress, he heard him tell him crisply outside the door, "The eldest prince asked the younger one to tell the girl, don't forget to close the window and lower the curtain." ”

Alas, he really thought of it. Bai Yi was clumsy in all this, he knew it. Could it be that this is why I am disgusted? Bai Yi walked to study how to close the window, and saw five people walking out of the downstairs. I guess I got Hou Cong's order to go to Ghost Street.

Bai Yi changed her clothes and went downstairs, and the little maid took her to the front hall and went upstairs again, which is where the teahouse entertains guests. Hou Cong sat at a table by the window, drinking tea, and there was a plate of snacks next to him. The little guy brought the person in and withdrew, and the white clothes looked at him like a monster, walked over gently, sat down, and wondered if he should take the initiative to go home.

Hou Cong didn't seem to notice her, either looking at the people eating breakfast in the teahouse, or at the more and more cars and horses on Gaobo Street downstairs. As soon as Bai Yi spoke, he saw him take a chopstick, puncture a piece of dim sum on the plate, and reveal the filling, "Although it is sweet, there are chopped walnuts and lard, and diced duck meat." ”

It means to tell her that she can eat.

Bai Yi ate the dim sum in one bite, only feeling uncomfortable. "Are you going to drive me away?" She asked anyway.

"What words? Did I take you out to learn to track you to get you away? Hou Cong finally looked at her and said something.

"Then you still hate me for defeating you, do you want to give me a horse? Or did we make too much trouble in the previous paragraph, and you regret it? ”

Hou Cong looked away, and responded for a long time, "Miss Yuwen, in this world, I have a lot of things to do, not all of them are about you." ”

Now I understand, he was scared in Changfu Garden that day. Bai Yi reminisced about getting along with each other scene by scene, including his occasional wrapping himself in his arms, holding his hands in his hands, and even desecrating his clothes with himself - otherwise, he would be a scumbag, angry that he did not obey; Otherwise, he wouldn't have thought of himself as a woman at all.

Either way, it was enough to be frightened by his actions in Changfu Garden.

In fact, I didn't expect him - even in my dreams, I never thought about what it would be like if the eldest prince's dream person was also himself. But I always feel that at least the closer the better.

It turns out that this is not the case.

In this way, if you die, you will have no worries. Bai Yi thought secretly.

Someone came upstairs, it was Dugu Zheng - Hou Cong's most trusted henchmen, and now he is the only one in Datong City. He walked directly in front of Hou Cong, "Eldest son, there is a secret way." The exit was in Luoguxiang, where we saw Jia Fang and determined who he was looking for. It was an old man hired in a livestock feed shop a mile away. We didn't dare to alarm, we inquired about the periphery, and the old man was also surnamed Jia, he was a mute, and I didn't know anything else. ”

"Hmm." Hou Cong nodded, "Everyone has withdrawn, right?" You go ahead and go to Hebachun's side. I'll leave it to us here. Let's go. ”

"Yes." Dugu Zheng nodded to Bai Yi and left the teahouse.

Hou Cong looked at Bai Yi again, "You have to be like this every day these days, follow Jia Fang, can you afford it?" ”

"Yes."

"Let's go, go home."

Hou Cong got up, and Bai Yi followed him downstairs, and found Qingsong and the carriage and horse waiting there. Hou Cong got into the carriage, and the white clothes were still standing below.

"I'll ride a horse."

"As you please." He said, closing his eyes. Qing Song closed the car door.

The carriage moved, and he knew that the white clothes were following out of the window on horseback, as if guarding himself. In fact, there was a kind of sick joy in his heart, because Bai Yi cared so much about his attitude. It was a real bonus.

remembered that he went to Yuwen's house to see her come back, and was called into the inner room by Mrs. Hou for a secret conversation, and his grandmother only asked him a few questions: "Lord Prince's people, along the way, do you think you will see blood?" ”

"Inevitably."

"Who's going to die?"

"Whoever is close to the grandchild will be the target."

"All over Tongcheng said that you rejected the third princess for the sake of the girl of the Yuwen family. Be careful that the white clothes are used as a target. ”

Hou Cong came out of the inner room, like being soaked in an ice bucket all night, painful and sober. So outsiders seem to have a relationship between men and women with white. He never thought and would not allow such a thing to happen. The general and his female soldiers, this is a big taboo.

Therefore, Hou Cong absolutely decided to change the form of his relationship with Bai Yi. He thinks he is quite successful, but this can't stop his concern and ecstasy about the words "white clothes care".

Do you really have a love for a man and a woman in white? Hou Cong asked himself. Immediately frightened, he went to his sleeve and pulled out a handkerchief. He lifted the curtain of the carriage and said, "I saw only the green pine, but the white clothes were gone." ”

"What about people?" Hou Cong asked.

Of course, Qingsong knew who he was asking, "The girl said that a few days ago, the nurse ordered the shroud of the three of Luo Wei for her at a shop here in Gao Bo Street, and she felt that the day was almost over, and she had to go to collect the goods. ”

"Presumptuous! Are you thieves? Do you want to hide it from your master? Why didn't I hear that? Is she a fool? Do you want to go to do personal things and don't know how to report to me? Are you dead? Can't you teach her? Where does she know how to negotiate the price and look at the goods? What does she know? Why don't you stop her? ”

Qing Song's eyes now are simply looking at the soul, forcing Hou Cong to put down the curtain and retreat to the carriage.

Damn, the old disease returns.

Hou Cong decided to be hungry, and Bai Yi was fluorescent after that - simply changed her name to Bai Ying - in short, what did she have to do with herself to collect the goods? Hou Cong took a deep breath with a big handkerchief on his nose, and his heart was overgrown with weeds.

He had to hold on tightly, until the last moment, for the task, for himself, for the sake of the three hairs. His every move can harm and save people.

But what was the last moment?

What Hou Cong didn't know was that Bai Yi remembered the name of the store that the nurse said, and really found a shroud shop. The shopkeeper asked her if she had brought silver and slips, and the white clothes shook their heads, knowing nothing.

The shopkeeper smiled instead, "Isn't this the girl of the Yuwen family?" How do you wear men's clothes today? The shroud is sewn and wrapped for you, and the rest of the silver, I will find your mother Feng to go. ”

Bai Yi smiled shyly, somewhat embarrassed. Seeing that the shopkeeper opened the bag to inspect her, he tried to accost, "Your surname?" ”

"It's not expensive, the surname is Gui. Hahahaha. ”

Boss Gui must have liked this joke very much. Bai Yi also laughed twice, looking at the lotus-white shroud in the baggage, the rivers, lakes and seas, the sun, the moon and the mountains and rivers embroidered with flat needles, Boss Gui explained, "This is a style, we will not be wrong to take over such a job in our store." Feng's mother told me that it was three righteous men. ”

"Well, wrap it up." Bai Yi paused, thinking that he should add one more sentence, "There is labor." ”

She hugged her baggage, but still didn't think about leaving, "If someone in the army dies, is it looking for you to buy it?" ”

Boss Gui smiled, "That's a good feeling!" Didn't we send it at home! There are only such threes and threes. Tell the girl no, most of them are a bit of a deception. ”

"For example?"

Boss Gui lowered his voice, "For example, the chief killed people in order to keep some secrets. Those few dead people have done nothing wrong, aren't they wronged? You have to wrap someone up, don't you? ”

Bai Yi thought thoughtfully, "That's right, some people's origins can't be found, maybe they just killed everyone who knows." ”

"Hahahahaha", Boss Gui burst out laughing. "Yes, that's what the girl meant, that's the most accurate."

Bai Yi smiled, said goodbye, walked out of this store with his baggage, and took a look back and forth with the horse, there are four or five of the same shops. She remembered the ghost street again, and she had the impression that there were also such shops, not many, four or five full of them.

Quite simply, she decided to go through all the ledgers of such shops on both streets after dark.
