Chapter 177: A Man Who Disappeared

As King Huainan spoke, a light rain began to fall outside, gradually extinguishing the fire outside. The mission had been tossed for a day, and it was getting dark. The flames outside the inner hall were extinguished by the rain, making it even more eerie.

Before, Gui Wugui deliberately put the seven corpses in, originally intending to lure out the people behind the murder of King Huainan with Jiuqu worms. What I didn't expect was that all this was related to the white-robed man, but fortunately, I didn't return to one more eye before, just in case I reversed Xiao Rensan and Liu Xi, the king of Huainan. With his disguise technique that he couldn't even see through Xi Yingzhen, even the white-robed man was deceived.

Just before the autopsy, Liu Xi had already sent away the guards gathered at the door. This young man Huainan Wang ruled his family very strictly, and without him to speak, even if the inner hall was lit by a fire, the guards guarding in the distance did not dare to come to the rescue. After seeing that there was no abnormality for a long time, the chief attendant who was guarding here asked Liu Xi if he could transfer the inner attendant to bring in the insect corpses and corpses outside the inner hall.

didn't wait for Liu Xi to speak, Wu Mian, who had not spoken beside him and was only staring at the charred corpse outside, finally spoke: "They are lying down decently, did they recruit you or provoke you?" When you are alive, you are unjustly killed, and when you die, you will be bullied, is there still heavenly reason? ”

The king of Huainan treated Wu Mian with courtesy, and the chief attendant naturally knew the weight of this white-haired man. At that moment, he retreated to the side in fear, and although Liu Xi, the king of Huainan on the side, was a little disgusted by the corpses outside the inner hall, after listening to Wu Mian's words, he knew that he had other plans, so he stopped the chief attendant and asked him to send someone to prepare dinner.

Originally, I thought that there would be one of the three people who would go to watch the dinner come out, but what King Huainan didn't expect was that none of them had the intention of going. At that moment, Xiao Liu Xi could only instruct the chief waiter to personally guard the kitchen, and asked him to personally send it all the way after seeing the meal ready. In short, the gaze must not take the scope of the meal.

Not long after the chief attendant left, Wu Mian, who was still sitting on the futon, suddenly stood up. His gaze had shifted from the charred corpses to the endless night. At this time, the face of the returnee also changed, and the old guy looked at the position as far as Wu Mian's eyes could see. The two of them seemed to have been waiting for something, and now was the time for the results of this waiting.

Almost as soon as the time of hot tea soup had passed, Wu Mian suddenly turned around and looked at whether he was returning, stretched out his hand to him and said, "Bring it ......"

In the darkness that the king of Huainan could not see, a man in a white robe and a cloak covered his face came out of the invisible place. He took one last look in the direction of the inner hall in the distance, and then without any hesitation, he turned around and walked in the direction of the outside of the palace. As he walked, he said to himself: "It's a pity, the skin of this body can't withstand the rain." Otherwise, you can play a little longer, but this is just the beginning, Wu Mian, you are the person he chose. If it doesn't last long, it's too ugly to take him......"

As he spoke, the man in the white robe walked slowly. But the strange thing is that occasionally the palace attendants and guards pass by him, as if they didn't see this person. Not even a drop of rain fell from the sky, and he didn't know what he meant when he said that his skin couldn't withstand the rain.

After walking out of the palace, the streets outside were full of soldiers with guns, halberds, and swords in five steps. The white-robed man walked all the way out of the city in front of the soldiers, and none of the soldiers felt that a person had just passed by. At this time, the city gate had already been closed and locked, but the white-robed man actually 'passed through the door' directly. After walking out of the city gate, he continued to walk unhurriedly into the distance.

After walking for a short time, the white-robed man suddenly stopped, and he slowly turned his head to look at the wild grass that was more than a person tall on the side of the road. After a pause, he suddenly laughed weirdly, looked at him and said, "I didn't think there would be people like you in such a small place, don't be afraid, I'm not a ghost." Come out, maybe I can give you something to eat......"

After the white-robed man finished speaking, there was a sound of snorting in the grass. Then a young man in his twenties, dressed in rags, stepped out of it. After coming out, he looked at the white-robed man with some fear, took a deep breath, calmed down, and then said to the white-robed man: "Even if you are a ghost, there is nothing, as long as you can make me full." Then it doesn't matter if you're eating me, but trying to eat me may not be as easy as you think. ”

After seeing this man, the white-robed man was slightly surprised and stunned. Then he reacted immediately, looking at the young man in front of him as if a child had seen a new toy, and after giggling, he said, "I can't imagine that there are people who have only eaten half of the elixir, tell me, how did you get the elixir, and why did you only eat half of it?" ”

The young man was already hungry, and after wiping the sweat from his forehead, he said to the white-robed man, "Can you talk while walking?" I haven't eaten for three days, and I'm afraid I won't be able to last until you give me food. Of course, if you have wheat bread on you, I can also say it while you eat it. ”

The white-robed man laughed, turned around and continued to walk along the road, and said, "Come with me, you can eat enough." Seeing that you don't look like a Han Chinese, let's tell me what your name is first, and I will know what to call you later. I can't keep telling you 'hey', it's a bit ugly. ”

The young man hesitated for a moment, then staggered behind the white-robed man. As he walked, he said weakly: "My name is Yang Xiao, the ...... of the night owl" This young man is Yang Xiao, the nephew of Lin Huodi who had a grudge with Wu Mian many years ago......

Half an hour later, the two men entered a small village outside Shouchun City. After the two of them entered the entrance of the village, an old man with white hair appeared out of thin air behind the white-robed man, who carried a small bell on his body, and walked with a jingling sound, which he could hear very clearly in the night. Unexpectedly, this slightly hunchbacked old man turned out to be Shangguan Yang who suddenly disappeared from the Zhaoxian Pavilion more than a year ago.

Shangguan Yang's appearance startled Yang Xiao, but the white-robed man was not a little surprised, he seemed to be an unpredictable prophet, and at the moment Shangguan Yang appeared, he said without looking back: "What happened to the affairs of the Seven Kingdoms?" ”

Shangguan Yang replied respectfully: "The subordinates have spread the news of the death of the Wu envoy in the Huainan Palace, to the Wu capital Guangling, and the King of Wu Liu Wei is furious, but it seems that the landlord is still expected, and the King of Wu is now fully united with the other six countries, and there is no time to deal with the King of Huainan here." After separating the victory and defeat with the imperial court in the future, it is inevitable that he will come to Liu Xi's trouble again. ”

"Liu Bi - he doesn't have that chance." After sneering for a lifetime, the white-robed man continued: "One of Liu Bang's nephews, even if he lines up to rebel, it won't be his turn. Things are too ugly to do, fools talk about dreams......"

As he spoke, all the houses in the village were instantly lit with candles. The white-robed man had been walking towards the largest house, but halfway through it, he suddenly remembered that he had picked up a person on the way back. At that moment, he turned around and waved at Yang Xiao, who was a little uneasy, and then said to Shangguan Yang: "Find him something to eat, it's best to have meat." I'll have something to ask him later, don't be slow with this guest of mine......"

After hearing the white-robed man's instructions, Shangguan Yang respectfully took Yang Xiao to a house next to him. found wheat cakes and some air-dried bacon, Yang Xiao couldn't wait for Shangguan Yang to heat it for him. He grabbed the wheat cake and stuffed it into his mouth, just as he was chewing desperately. Another person walked in along the spot where Yang Xiao and the white-robed man had entered.

A flash of lightning flashed in the sky on a rainy night, revealing the man's face. This person has snow-white hair, white from head to toe, and is Wu Mian, who was still by the side of King Huainan not long ago
