The sky gradually darkened, and the lights in the official post were extinguished one after another, leaving only a few dead wind lamps outside the small building.

There is only one bed in the narrow room, but there are two sets of bedding, this is the room where Miss Meng's maid lives, the maids brought by the show girls did not have a separate room, Mrs. Meng quietly used the silver, and the post made a small room for them.

Xianglan has been waiting by Miss Meng's side since she was a child, and she is on duty in Miss Meng's house every night, and this room is actually for Xiangxue to live in.

Xiangxue lay on the bed, tossing and turning. Many times, she envied those who fell asleep on the pillow, and she had never had such a time for as long as she could remember.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, but although the room is small, there is a window that is too small to be smaller.

The window was open, and a cool breeze blew in through the window, and Xiangxue let out a long sigh of relief.

Today, a month later, she should be in the capital.

Over the years, she has traveled far and wide and visited many places, but she never imagined that she would enter the palace one day.

A Qingdao man said that everything was arranged for her, whether it was outside the palace or inside the palace, there would be people who would take care of her, and she believed this.

King Qin once had two sons in Beijing as hostages, and you can guess without thinking about it, King Qin must have someone in the capital.

In addition to those people, there will be some people who are unthinkable to outsiders, who will become her help and cover.

Just like today's Mrs. Meng and her daughter.

Xiangxue saw Miss Meng, she is indeed a beauty, charming, not inferior to the girls with red sleeves, she should be favored after entering the palace.

Xiangxue thought wildly, not sleepy at all.

Suddenly, she heard a noise outside the window.

Although this room is remote, the window is on the sunny side, there are no curtains, and standing in front of the window can see the officers and soldiers who are keeping vigil outside, and similarly, the officers and soldiers can also see this window at a glance.

Xiangxue wasn't worried that someone would break through the window, but out of the cautious habit she had cultivated over the years, she still sat up and hid on the side of the window to look outside.

Under the window hung an air lamp, casting a circle of light and shadow in the open space below.

A night bird fluttered its wings and flew by, and there was a chirp or two in the night.

It turned out to be a bird.

Xiangxue breathed a sigh of relief and was about to lie down to sleep, when suddenly, she found that at some point, there was a person standing next to the bed!

Nothing surprised her more than this.

She is a martial artist, she has practiced hidden weapons, she has learned to listen to wind discernment, and her hearing is higher than ordinary people.

But she didn't know when this person came in, let alone how he got in.

The moonlight shining in through the window, hazy, although the facial features were not clear, Xiangxue could see that this was a woman, thin and thin, not very old, that is, twelve or thirteen years old.

In the flash of light, Xiangxue remembered someone.

"Shen Tong?" These two words rushed out of her mouth, and Xiangxue couldn't believe that she would see Shen Tong in this situation.

Why is it Shen Tong, and how did Shen Tong appear here?

Is it really Shen Tong?

In fact, Xiangxue was not sure, after three years, the last time she saw Shen Tong was in Sanlizhuang outside the capital, when Shen Tong was still a child.

"It's me." In the darkness, the man whispered.

It was a little girl's voice, with a childlike voice, but the coldness in the voice and the majesty that did not belong to this age were exactly the same as back then.

"Is it really you? How did you know I was here? Xiangxue said in a deep voice, her voice was very low, she couldn't be heard by the people in the official post, not to mention that the window was open, and there were officers and soldiers outside.

"If you don't want people to know, unless you don't do it, Mei Shengxue, you shouldn't ask me why I know you're here, you should think, can you still live when I come?" There was a hint of playfulness in Shen Tong's voice, and at that moment, Xiangxue even felt that Shen Tong had treated her as a dead person.

"Shen Tong, why did you kill me? I have no grudge against you, and if you refuse to cooperate with me, you will not try to kill me. ”

Xiangxue didn't want to confront Shen Tong, at least now, at this moment, here, here, she didn't want to have any conflict with Shen Tong.

She still has big things to do, and she can't delay other things because of Shen Tong.

"Mei Shengxue, we have no grudges and no hatred, but you used to be unfavorable to me, so no matter what you do now, I have to be careful, who knows if you will implicate me, and also, you know that I am in Xi'an, and you also know who I am, you say, will I let you go for nothing?"

"Shen Tong, when we were in Liujiawan, we had already talked about it, I didn't kill you at that time, and you didn't kill me, after so many years, why did you come to me?"

"It's not that you didn't kill me back then, it's that you couldn't kill me, and the reason why I didn't kill you was because I couldn't kill you. But now it's different, Mei Shengxue, I just need to call out your name loudly, saying that you are an assassin of unknown origin, do you say that those officers and soldiers outside will let you go? Even if their martial arts skills are not as good as yours, you can fight your way out of the encirclement, but what you have to do, can you still succeed? ”

Speaking of this, Shen Tong laughed softly.

She is like a cat, teasing the mouse, not in a hurry to eat it in one bite, but to play little by little, and then wonder if she will eat it when she has had enough.

This is exactly what Xiangxue is afraid of.

She is not afraid of Shen Tong, she was not afraid before, and of course she is not afraid now.

But she was afraid that the matter would be revealed, this might be her last chance, and she didn't want to give up.

But as long as Shen Tong shouted out and alarmed the officers and soldiers outside the official post, even if she could escape, this big thing would not be done.

At that time, a Qingdao person will not only no longer use her, but will also give up her as a chess piece without hesitation, and dissociate herself from her, at that time, all the efforts will be in vain, she can't imagine whether she can wait for another opportunity to enter the palace in this life and this life.

In a moment, a layer of cold sweat broke out on Xiangxue's back. She is like a cat, teasing the mouse, not in a hurry to eat it in one bite, but to play little by little, and then wonder if she will eat it when she has had enough.

This is exactly what Xiangxue is afraid of.
