Chapter 49: Assassination

"I don't dare to say that, because this officialdom is like that." The prefect said, "However, you have to help me deal with the matter on the city wall right now, and I'm afraid it's not convenient to inspect it anymore." ”

"Okay." The man did not refuse, and simply replied with such a word.

After he dropped a sunspot again, he smiled and said, "I solved this chess game." As he spoke, he also discarded the white characters in his hand in the chess box again, stood up, and walked outside.

"Where are you going?" Seeing this, the prefect asked out loud.

"Didn't you ask me to help you change the words on the wall?" The man asked without looking back.

Without waiting for the prefect to say anything, he had already left the prefect's mansion directly, and when he came to the city wall, he went out of the city gate, stood at the city gate, and looked up slightly at the craftsmen and those officials who were still busy on the city wall.

At this time, the sun is already setting.

A layer of sunset light reflected on his body, gilding him with a layer of soft light, making him a luminous body, but he was the first to be discovered by the magistrate next to him.

"Isn't this Zicheng?" The magistrate walked over and said, "When did you come back?" ”

"The grass people have seen the magistrate." The man said, "I'm coming back today." ”

"You're here to patrol the prefect?" Lord Zhixian asked aloud.

"Yes." The man replied lightly.

"For the prefect, you are doing your best." Lord Zhixian said.

"After all, he is also the father-in-law of the grass people." The man said.

Hearing the man say this, the eyes of the county magistrate also flashed slightly, but he didn't say anything more, but stood side by side with him under the city wall, looking at the two big characters that were gradually built on it - Shuocheng!

I think I'll renovate it again tomorrow, and it should be finished.

In the future, this town will be changed to Shuocheng again.

"Since it has been almost built, and there is still the magistrate here to supervise, then the grass people will not point fingers, and the grass people will leave." As he spoke, the man also turned around and left without looking back, but he didn't care what the magistrate would reply, just leave by himself.

"Okay." In fact, the magistrate just replied with such a word, but he didn't want to say anything more to him. After all, he is the prefect's brains.

It's a pity that this wise man is often not in this city, but often goes out, if he is willing to assist the prefect, I'm afraid he is really not this person's opponent.

I just don't know, how long will he stay in this city?

It seems that he has to go back to find his master and see how he should do it next, at least, not to lose in this matter.

"How's it going?" When the prefect saw that he had come back so soon, he couldn't help but ask.

"Good." The man replied, "The Lord of Nazhi County also went." ”

"Hmph, he's self-conscious." The prefect snorted coldly and said.

"He's trying to make you feel as little less down as possible about him, and make him feel better." The man said.

"How could I not have known? It's just that I don't want to let him go so soon. The prefect said.

"It's good that you know it in your own heart." The man said, "His master is a talent, you have to deal with it carefully, but don't really die too soon." ”

"Don't worry, I'm not really a straw bale either." The prefect said.

"I hope so!"

The night is dark and the wind is high, and I don't know if it is suitable for killing or climbing over the wall?

In short, Xu Xi had just opened his eyes, and he saw Pei Huai who was sitting in her room, which was a little strange, what was he doing here tonight?

And, still sitting in her room.

Don't you know what it means to be intimate between a man and a woman?

A dignified national teacher actually sat in a woman's boudoir in the middle of the night, if this is spread, I don't know if it will surprise people?

Didn't they all say that this national teacher is not good for men and women?

How did you come to her, only to find out that this is not the case at all? Or is it actually all about her overthinking? In fact, this national teacher is just according to his temperament, and he can't do what he thinks?

If that's the case, wouldn't there be a bit of a problem with the character of this national teacher?

Could it be that the character design is collapsed?

Xu Xi lay on the bed, opened his eyes, and didn't know what to think about anymore, anyway, he was right.

In other words, when facing other people, you can still have a normal mind.

However, in the face of this Pei Huai, especially when he is alone, it seems that this thought is a little out of rhythm.

I don't know if it's because Pei Huai is different from what she has come into contact with and seen, so she has such an idea?

"Now that you're awake, don't lie down anymore." Pei Huai said lightly, "Since you have slept all afternoon, can you still sleep at night?" It is better to get up and talk to this seat. ”

"Talk?" Xu Xi sat up, looked at Pei Huai, and said, "What did you say?" It's that you didn't sleep in the middle of the night, but you came to my room to sit, and your image doesn't meet your personality standards at all, so, Master Guoshi, I think you should be a little reserved. ”

"Personality?" Pei Huai looked at Xu Xi suspiciously, and asked, "What is a human design?" ”

"Well, the character is .....," Xu Xi thought for a while and said, "It's the saying in my hometown, which roughly means that a person's character, I mean, your personality doesn't seem to be the same as the kind of character you hear in the legend." ”

"What's the legendary personality like?" Pei Huai asked.

"Well, it's not close to women, and it's not good for men." Xu Xi thought for a moment and replied.

"Oh? So you mean to say that I'm not acting like that? Pei Huai looked at Xu Xi, raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked.

"This ......" Xu Xi didn't know how to answer for a while, but he was a little annoyed at this time, how could he say such a sentence for no reason? How does this lead her to answer this question?

Could it be that he hugged her in the carriage before, and said with a narcissistic face that he liked him?

Or is it like this, sitting in her room in the middle of the night, and even telling her not to sleep, get up and talk to him?

No matter what it is, it doesn't seem like this character is compatible, right?

But can she say that?

"Actually, when I came to you tonight, I didn't really want you to sit up and chat with this seat." Pei Huai didn't bother with Fang Cai's question anymore, and probably saw Xu Xi's embarrassment, so he also pulled the topic away, and then said.

"Didn't you come to talk to me? What did you come to me for? Xu Xi asked.

"I thought you should have guessed it with your cleverness." Pei Huai looked at Xu Xi and said.

"I'm not as wise as you think." Xu Xi said, "What, you're leaving tonight?" ”

"If you don't go, are you still waiting for tomorrow to be in the bright light?" Pei Huai asked rhetorically.

Xu Xi pouted slightly, he didn't sleep in the middle of the night, just to climb the wall, this ancient person is really strange, can it be said that he can't act during the day?

When she was a killer in modern times, she didn't say that she couldn't act during the day, but she had to wait until night every day to act.

In fact, whether it is day or night, as long as it can be well disguised and not let people see the clues, it is also the same that can kill people invisibly.

Originally, Xu Xi meant to leave by pretending to return the same way during the day, but in fact, this is secretly leaving the team and going to the destination of their trip.

When the goal is achieved, then rush back to the team, all the way back, and no one will be suspicious because of this.

However, Pei Huai didn't seem to want to go back and forth like this, so he just chose to settle down in this inn, in order to wait until the evening to climb the wall, leave from here, and go secretly.

And the same is the same thing about leaving the other people here, guarding them so that no one can find out their whereabouts, and then coming back when the goal is achieved, and then swaggering away.

It's just that what Xu Xi thinks about is acting during the day, and what Pei Huai thinks about is acting at night.

Since the time and place are different, the action is naturally different.

Since Pei Huai appeared here, he naturally came to tell her that the time for action was up!

"Shall you leave now?" Xu Xi asked.

"Nature." Pei Huai said, he had already stood up and walked outside.

Those people were still guarding the door, but Pei Huai, Xu Xi, Tang Qianling, and Nie Chenghui did leave.

And the illusion that Pei Huai is still in this inn is naturally maintained by these people who remain, and it must not be noticed by people.

Otherwise, they would have failed in their mission.

In the Mirror Lake Palace, if the mission fails, the punishment is heavy, at least, they definitely don't want to relive that feeling.

Therefore, Pei Huai is not here, they will definitely guard this place and not let anyone get close to half a step, Xu Xi still has some confidence in these people that Pei Huai has personally cultivated.

Otherwise, Pei Huai himself would not be so relieved, and by the way, he even brought Nie Chenghui and Tang Qianling out, instead of leaving a person there to command.

In fact, leaving Tang Qianling or Nie Chenghui in the inn, wouldn't it be better to hide people's ears?

If none of them show up, I don't know if it will arouse suspicion?

"What are you thinking?" Pei Huai looked at Xu Xi since he went out, he didn't speak, but couldn't help asking.

"I'm just thinking, why did you bring out Qianling and Nie Chenghui, in fact, wouldn't it be better to keep one of them alone in the inn? Or is it okay for me to stay? Xu Xi thought about it and said to Pei Huai.
