"Afraid of being implicated? Don't do it from tomorrow onwards! Qin Hui said without expression, and then continued to knock on the abacus after the previously calculated amount.

Xiao Jing pouted, "Sister Qin, I'm joking, don't drive me away." ”

Qin Hui smiled dryly at her.

Xiao Jing also smiled back, and hurriedly went to the backyard with the little slave.

The next day, under Chu Ye's orders, a city-wide search began.

Last night, they had already inquired with the guards guarding the gate, and no one who looked like Hao Wu had ever left the city, and the imperial city would have a curfew every seventh day, and the city gate would be closed before three o'clock in the hour, so she must still be in the imperial city.

It's just that I searched for three days in a row, but there was no trace of Hao Wuxuan at all. The guards of the Yinwang Mansion squatted in the hidden place outside the drunken face square every day, and they did not find any suspicious traces.

So on the fourth day, Yu Jing withdrew all the people who were hiding outside the Zuiyan Fang.

In the past three days, the proprietress Qin Hui has never left Zuiyanfang, and she has never even been to the workshop outside the city, but the number of people in and out of Zuiyanfang is countless, all of them are regular customers or visitors who come here, and the guys from the workshop outside the city only send goods to the city once a day.

Qin Hui saw that the small vendor selling masks outside had withdrawn, so she quietly walked to the door and looked around, whispered to a guy beside her, and waved his hand to let him out.

No one would have thought that Hao Wuxuan would hide in the Qinxiang Courtyard, where fish and dragons are mixed.

The most dangerous place is the safest place, the situation was urgent, Qin Hui and the proprietress of Qinxiangyuan were familiar with each other, and immediately stuffed them in.

When Jin Ling came in from outside, Hao Wuxuan was sitting in front of the vanity mirror and putting on makeup for herself.

In the bronze mirror, she was combing the man's hair in a bun, her eyebrows thickened considerably, her beard was glued to her mouth, and a black fleshy mole was attached to her cheekbones.

"Miss, just now there was news from Achang, saying that those who were watching in the palace had withdrawn." Jin Ling said, looking at Hao Wuxuan, who had completely changed his appearance, with surprise in surprise.

Hao Wu got up and took a turn, "How is it?" ”

Jin Ling nodded, "Miss is so powerful, the slaves and maids almost can't recognize it." ”

Hao Wu smiled extravagantly, pulled Jin Ling to sit down, disguised her as well, and the two of them went out generously.

Outside the imperial city, in front of the workshop of Zuiyanfang, Qin Zhi was sitting on a board car shaking a palm-sized disc. The material of the disc resembles black stone, it is cold to the touch, and it is engraved with a circle of characters that ordinary people cannot read, and in the center is a groove containing a liquid like mercury, but no matter how much he shakes it, not a drop of the liquid will come out.

The groove is surrounded by a circle of vertical grooves, which look like a bell.

This is the unique compass of the Qin people, and it is also the only one, which has been handed down by the ancestors and has existed for more than a thousand years.

Legend has it that this was originally an ordinary black stone, but because it sucked a drop of the tears of the goddess, it became a spiritual stone, and was later made into such a special compass by the ancestors of the Qin people. And the most special thing about it is that it can sense the location of the goddess.

The goddess in the mouth of the Qin people is the daughter of Tianzhao in the mouth of outsiders.

It's just that the compass has been lying in the ancestral hall of the Qin clan for more than a thousand years, as if it has been broken. Obviously overheard the conversation between the patriarch and the elders, saying that the ancestors had a prophecy that in the spring of the 400th year of Tianyi, the goddess would appear.

The current patriarch of the Qin clan, that is, Qin Zhi's father, Qin Feng, calculated the approximate location of the goddess's appearance - east of the Nansheng Empire, which is likely to be in the imperial city of the Nansheng Empire.

Qin Zhi patted the compass vigorously, and he couldn't wait to fall to the ground.

Three years ago, there was a traitor in the clan, and all the clansmen turned their suspicious eyes on their mother, Myung-so, the only person with a foreign surname among the Qin clan.

So far, my mother has been locked up in the forbidden land of the Qin clan, and if she didn't do that, she would have to die. Because it is impossible for the people of the Qin clan to put a foreign surname in their lives, they will only expose their traces, and eventually suffer from thousands of strangulations from the outside world.

Therefore, as long as he can find the goddess and bring her back to the Qin clan, the elders will definitely read his merits and release his mother.

As he was patting, the mercury in the compass suddenly moved, and it kept scurrying into the grooves around him.

Qin Zhi was pleasantly surprised, but he didn't understand what the situation was, so he shook it again, and as a result, he shook it out.

Raising his head, two thin figures walked in the flower garden outside, one tall and one short, looking much more delicate than ordinary men.

Qin Zhi took the compass and jumped down from the cart and looked at the two of them for a long time.

When the person who was slightly taller in front smiled at him, he finally vaguely recognized Hao Wuxuan.

"Sister Hao?"

Qin Zhi showed a sunny smile, "Sister Hao, why are you here?" And dressed up like this! ”

Hao Wuxuan didn't speak, so Jin Ling walked between the two of them first and widened the distance between them, and said, "Don't you know that the wind in the city is very tight now?" ”

Qin Zhi thought about the time when he went into the city to deliver goods, it seemed that someone was inquiring about Hao Wuxuan's whereabouts, but he asked Xiao Jing, who was very busy at the time and didn't have time to deal with him. He didn't understand, isn't it bad to be this princess of Yinwang, why did he have to escape?

"Sister Hao......"

Just about to ask the doubts in his heart, Hao Wuxuan made a silent gesture at him, looked around cautiously, and said, "Take me to see how my newly developed formula is being produced." ”

"Hmm...... Good. Qin Zhi also looked around like her, and then stepped forward and took Hao Wu into the workshop.

******

It was night, the third watch had passed, and Hao Wuxuan finished reading a "Book of Rites", and it was finally a lot quieter outside.

She blew out the candles and began to fall asleep.

It was only after a good sleep that I woke up, tossing and turning, and could not sleep again.

Rubbing his eyelids, which suddenly began to jump, he got up and went to the window to breathe.

At night in the imperial city, the cold air was slightly cool, the clouds covered the moonlight, and in the night without light, the whole imperial city fell into a deep sleep.

She was suddenly confused, and she only thought about escaping from the palace and leaving Chu Ye, thinking that she would find a way to get the hairpin in the future, but when she really came out, her heart was not settled.

Although Chu Ye withdrew the stalker, she knew that he couldn't give up so easily.

She had to be careful to hide here for a year, or two, or even longer, until he slowly faded into her mind.

But he is a cautious man, and there are many guards around him who protect him, so it is not easy to get a hairpin closely.

Could it be that she really wants to stay in this strange world for two or three years? Maybe it's a lifetime, and I'll die here of old age.

Thinking of this, her heart was troubled, and she became more and more awake, and she lost her sleepiness.

Exhaling deeply, he turned his eyes and saw a faint light on the deserted street, and when he looked closely, a tall but gaunt figure was holding something in one hand and staggering from the direction of the city gate.
