Wang Lang didn't dare to raise his eyelids, but said in a deep voice: "Subordinate, I secretly followed that kid today, but I didn't want to, as soon as he arrived at a refugee's residence, he was caught by the officers and soldiers who were ambushed there." ”

"Officers and soldiers?" He Xiqi said.

Wang Lang nodded solemnly and said: "Yes, it is an officer and soldier, and the refugees who originally lived there are all gone, the child is struggling, and his subordinates heard an officer and soldier say that it was because someone confessed, so that they should stop struggling and stay in the prison honestly." The subordinates didn't dare to act rashly, but just followed and looked at the position where they were escorted, and quietly retreated. ”

He Xi couldn't help frowning and confessed, could it be that these people wanted to plot to enter Shuzhong? She suddenly remembered what the kid said yesterday, he said that these refugees would take advantage of the evening to investigate every day, maybe there was a problem yesterday, and they were caught.

It's just that the kid was delayed by himself, so he was spared, but he didn't want to be ambushed today.

He Xi's fingers tightened and tightened, and only the faint breathing of a few people could be heard in the courtyard, and she quickly figured out the solution in her mind.

These refugees must have the information and intelligence they need in their hands, since this is the case, then they can only take risks, He Xi waved his hand at Wang Lang, Wang Lang just took two steps, as if he remembered something, he stood in place, as if it was suddenly rooted in the air, so that he could not move.

He Xi finally saw Wang Lang's abnormality now, her good-looking brows were condensed together, like distant mountains, undulating, revealing a vague mist.

"Wang Lang, what happened to you?" He Xi got straight to the point.

Sure enough, she saw Wang Lang's panicked expression, but it was only for a moment, and then she disappeared again, Wang Lang lowered his head and stammered: "Subordinate, subordinate knowledge is a little overwhelmed——"

He Xi looked at him, sighed and said, "That's it, you come with me first, I have something to discuss with you." ”

Wang Lang almost mustered up the courage to follow He Xi into the room, He Xi walked to the front of the desk by himself, and with his bare hands on the table, he saw a plain white paper unfolded in front of the two of them, but the best thing was not the paper, but the hand, the plain hand was slender and white, compared to the paper, it was not inferior, but He Xi didn't notice these at all.

She picked up a pen from the pen stand on the side, handed it to Wang Lang, and said, "Do you remember the terrain of that prison?" ”

Wang Lang looked at He Xi and said, "The little master wants to-"

"You draw it first, and I'm going to be accurate to the number of handles in each place, and you might be able to do it?" He Xi smiled lightly, and actually had some intention of launching a challenge.

Wang Lang picked up the pen, and with just a few strokes, he sketched a rough outline.

He Xi just watched with a slight glint in his eyes, Wang Lang can get Tuoba Yue's trust, naturally he has his advantages, and never forgetting is one of them.

He Xi looked at Wang Lang's actions steadily, this prison is far away from the downtown area, and it is also to avoid the daily activities of the people and save more trouble, but the strange thing is that there is only one entrance to this prison, and there is no extra door, Xu is because of this, this gate is extremely tightly guarded.

There are four guards, two outside and two inside, and there will be a change of guard every few hours, never at intervals.

After all the maps were drawn, He Xi suddenly pointed to one of the wall-like places and said, "What's behind this?" ”

"Back?" Wang Lang repeated for some reason.

He Xi thought about it carefully, and then explained: "I just looked, the high wall here seems to be much higher than other places, but there are not so many guards under the other walls, you see, everywhere else is a group of five people, lined up, but there are seven people in this place, don't you think it's strange?" ”

Wang Lang looked at the map, he didn't even notice it before, he Xi said this, it was really a little unclear, He Xi had an idea in her heart, she pointed to the high wall and said: "Tonight, you take someone to investigate, if there is any news, you must come back and tell me in time." ”

Wang Lang nodded, took the drawing and retreated, and for a while there was only He Xi left in the house, He Xi Rao is anxious now, and he also knew that he could not act rashly at this time.

At this time in the palace, Lianxin and Ruyi and others were sent to the Autumn Dew Palace, this road was safe, Ruyi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, she said: "Finally came back safe and sound, but I don't know how the little master is doing now." ”

Chou'er cleaned up her soft hand and paused slightly, if you say who is most worried about He Xi, then it can only be Chou'er, Lianxin is a careful person, and quietly pulled Ruyi's sleeve, signaling her to mention He Xi's matter less, Ruyi is just talking quickly, seeing Chou'er's appearance. was also a little guilty, she was busy: "However, it's okay, the person who escorted the little master this time, but the king's right-hand man, will definitely not go on a business trip." ”

After speaking, she laughed dryly twice, Lianxin sighed lightly, and Chou'er got up, hugged the dirty clothes she had changed before, and said softly: "I'll go wash the clothes first-"

As he spoke, he stepped out of the door, looking at the back of the ugly child, Ruyi stomped his feet with some annoyance, and said in a lotus heart: "Ruyi girl, there is no need to blame yourself, there are some things, even if we don't say it, the ugly girl may not think about it, she is a careful girl, and everything is hidden in her heart, I am afraid that she has not settled down well in the past few days." ”

Ruyi nodded and said in a muffled voice: "Actually, she has been with the little master for the longest time, if among us, who is most worried about the little master, it can only be the ugly child, besides, I always feel that there is some secret hidden in the body of the ugly child and the little master." ”

Lianxin doesn't know He Xi very well, she is just a hidden guard, responsible for He Xi's stand-in Yuewei, she didn't answer, for a while, the atmosphere calmed down, Ruyi also knew that she had too many words, turned to Lianxin and said, "You rest first, I'll go see the ugly." ”

After saying that, he got up and walked in the direction that the ugly child left.

Saying that, Chou'er walked to the backyard of the Autumn Dew Palace, next to a well, laboriously lifted the well water, and then put his clothes still in the wooden basin, and when he sat down, he felt that his face was loose, and a silver thing slipped from his eyes, fell into the basin, and splashed cold water.

The ugly child hurriedly reached out to take it, and suddenly a pair of pure hands appeared in front of him and picked up the mask.

When the ugly child looked up, he saw Ruyi opposite him, carefully wiping the water stains on the mask with a handkerchief.

Looking at Ruyi's delicate and soft side face, the ugly child felt a little dazzling for the first time.

She turned her face away, covered it with her hands, her eyes leached with water little by little, Ruyi wiped the mask clean with a focused expression, handed it to the ugly child, and then did not stare at her scarred face, as if such a face was undoubtedly the same as ordinary people in her eyes. "Ugly, in fact, you are very beautiful-" Ruyi looked at the dilapidated courtyard in front of him and said suddenly.

Chou'er was tying the strap of his hand for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "Ruyi, when will you make fun of me too?" ”

Ruyi shook his head and said with a straight face: "I'm serious, I think you before must be very beautiful." The ugly child's face suddenly turned a little gloomy, but he didn't want to be happy and said, "But, do you know? Ugly, what I really envy you is nothing else, it is that you really have someone who can wholeheartedly, think about it, and trust. ”

Chou'er didn't seem to understand the meaning of Ruyi's words, she had always been a little quiet, just looking at Ruyi with a pair of eyes open.

Ruyi turned his head to look at Chou'er's clear eyes, and explained with a smile: "Chou'er, although there are some things that I say will make you sad, but I still have to say that the little master's trip is full of dangers, and you are thinking about the little master in your heart, I can see it, but I believe that the little master is also worried about us." She eased her breath slightly, and said, "But, perhaps, the little lord cares most about your safety. ”

The ugly child's heart shook slightly, and she didn't know what to say, Ruyi's smile was a little frank, she smiled: "However, I understand the little master, you have secrets on you, you look at the eyes of the little master, and the eyes of the little master respond to you, each gaze is intertwined, you are supporting each other, encouraging each other, so the feeling of being trusted should be really good." ”

Ruyi was laughing, but there was a bitter meaning in the smile, the ugly child looked at Ruyi seriously, and suddenly said: "Ruyi, the little lord also believes in you, believes in the lotus heart, but there are some things, maybe you don't know that it is the protection of you." ”

Regardless of whether Ruyi can understand his words or not, Chou'er continued: "That kind of experience, for every person who has experienced, is a punishment, that kind of scar, will not be diluted little by little because of the loss of time, but will begin to fester, little by little like a karmic fire, me and the little master, suffer such a torment every day, do you know?" Ruyi, Ling Chi is nothing more than that. ”

Chou'er suddenly stretched out his hand to unmask his face, looked at Ruyi, and said: "Ruyi, you only see me like this, but you have never seen the heart of the little master, her heart has already been full of holes, we can only use such a stump to resist ourselves from being devoured by the demon in our hearts." ”

Ugly tears slid down the corners of her eyes, flowing through those red and swollen scars, like a red candle dripping with tears.

Ruyi also looked at Chou'er, and suddenly she said: "Chou'er, He Xi's identity is fake, isn't it?" ”

The ugly child didn't answer, but put on the mask again, bowed his head and said: "Ruyi, if one day, the little master wants to say, he will naturally tell you, but I hope you never have to know, because it will be too painful." ”

After saying that, the ugly child took the wooden basin and left. Only Ruyi was left to sit in place alone.
